The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 656 1 Pot End

"Lord Chen, the brothers will follow your orders. Whatever you say, we will do. The brothers will all work for you."

The Imperial Guards knelt down in unison on one knee, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and looked at Chen Er.

Chen Er pondered for a moment and felt that Wei Zhongxian would definitely not be willing to accept defeat, would be reluctant to give up his wealth and glory, and would definitely make one last desperate attempt.

These martial arts masters are no longer useful, so the last force he can control, the force that could allow him to turn the tide, might just be the Shenji Camp. Therefore, the probability of Wei Zhongxian escaping to the Shenji Camp is still quite high.

However, the Shenji Battalion's firearms are not to be underestimated. With only these few men, they probably wouldn't be able to break into the Shenji Battalion and would be wiped out. We should send more troops to surround the Shenji Battalion first.

"Go back quickly and gather all the brothers. Also, mobilize the garrison near the capital and have them surround the Shenji Battalion. Don't let a single member of the Shenji Battalion get out."

"Yes, we'll arrange it right away!"

The Imperial Guards scattered and went about their tasks according to Chen Er's instructions.

But now, Wei Zhongxian has lost all his former prestige and looks like a down-and-out refugee.

The martial arts experts around Wei Zhongxian were in no better shape, looking as frantic as stray dogs along the way, having lost all their former imposing manner.

"Are you still standing there interfering? Hurry up and call some people for me. Forget it, let's go in and not waste words with these soldiers."

As Wei Zhongxian strode toward the camp, several sentries rushed over and blocked his way.

"Who are you? This is a military camp, a restricted area, not a place you can just barge into."

"Anyone who trespasses on military grounds will be killed without exception. Do you want to lose your head?"

Several sentries glared menacingly at Wei Zhongxian, looking ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Wei Zhongxian was seething with anger. He had been bullied by Chen Er and fled in a panic. When he arrived at his own territory, he was stopped by soldiers, which ignited Wei Zhongxian's rage.

"Are you all just good-for-nothings? Kill them all! I am Wei Zhongxian, the dignified Nine Thousand Years Old! How dare you blind fools stop me!"

"Hahaha, you call yourself Wei Zhongxian? Do you know how grand the entourage is when the Nine Thousand Years Old goes out? If you can be Wei Zhongxian like this, then I must be Wei Zhongxian's father," a soldier said disdainfully.

"You bastards! Kill all these bastards! Use their heads as balls, chamber pots, and toilets!" Wei Zhongxian shouted, jumping up and down.

Several martial arts experts immediately turned fierce and menacing. They dared not provoke Chen Er and his companions, but they were full of imposing manner when facing these common soldiers.

"Leave it to us, we'll definitely cut their heads off."

A flash of swords and spears, and the heads of several sentries flew high into the air, spurting tall jets of blood from their severed necks.

The commotion at the camp gate attracted a group of soldiers. The captain who led the soldiers out saw Wei Zhongxian's figure, trembled with nervousness, and knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"Your Majesty, what brings you here? We will go and inform the General right away."

"Hmph, you do have some sense, much better than those lowly soldiers. Take me to your central command tent, I have some matters to attend to."

"Yes, please follow me."

The captain led Wei Zhongxian and his entourage toward the central army camp.

Upon hearing the news, the general of the Shenji Battalion, along with a group of his officers, hurriedly ran into the central army camp.

The general of the Shenji Battalion, his face plastered with a fawning smile, trotted over to Wei Zhongxian and knelt down beside him: "Godfather, why didn't you tell me you were coming? I could have come to fetch you."

"Hmph, I almost got through the gates of your camp. Oh well, I'll let it go since you're fairly strict with your troops."

Wei Zhongxian was too busy dealing with Chen Er to care about anything else.

“There are many rebels in the martial arts world lately. Chen Er has bewitched the Emperor and seized command of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He has been making trouble for me lately and has even sent assassins from the martial arts world to deal with me. I want you to lead troops to wipe out the Embroidered Uniform Guard in one fell swoop,” Wei Zhongxian said with a sinister look on his face.

The general of the Shenji Battalion and his officers shuddered upon hearing this, feeling utterly terrified.

Taking down the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard would be a huge deal. In the past, the Embroidered Uniform Guard was able to monitor all officials and control both civil and military officials. Taking down the Embroidered Uniform Guard without an imperial edict could make us a scapegoat later.

"Godfather, what do you mean by this? I have never skimped on the ice and charcoal gifts for the three festivals and two birthdays. If you have any needs, just tell me, and I will definitely do it for you. Now that we've dealt with the Embroidered Uniform Guard, shouldn't we discuss this further?"

The general of the Shenji Battalion tried his best to refuse, as leading troops to attack the Jinyiwei was an extremely difficult task. Before they could even take down the Jinyiwei, another army might take down the Shenji Battalion first.

This wasn't just the general of the Shenji Battalion being overly worried. The defense of the capital was designed to keep the various armies in check. If the Shenji Battalion were to move out, it would inevitably attract the attention of the other Beijing garrisons. If those troops were mobilized, they could easily encircle and annihilate the Shenji Battalion.

"What nonsense are you spouting? I put you in the position of general of the Divine Machine Battalion so that you could work for me. You're just a dog, understand? I tell you who to bite, and you have to bite that person."

After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he raised his foot and kicked the general of the Shenji Battalion hard, causing the general to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

The general of the Shenji Battalion was bitter. He thought that after becoming the general of the Shenji Battalion, he could live a leisurely life, train his troops, and harass respectable women. He never expected that Wei Zhongxian would send him to do such a dangerous thing.

"Father, are we really going to wipe out the entire Embroidered Uniform Guard? This doesn't seem like a very reliable plan. Maybe we should reconsider."

"What long-term planning? Are you going or not? If you don't go, I'll kill you and replace you with someone who can go. I think many of them would like to take your place."

Wei Zhongxian pointed to the neatly standing generals. The generals had different expressions; some were timid, some were excited, and some even wanted to step forward and behead the Shenji Battalion general first.

After all, there's only one general's position. If someone could actually get the position and curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, they would surely have everything they wanted.

The general of the Divine Machine Battalion glanced at his men's eyes and sensed something amiss. He made a snap decision and decided to do as Wei Zhongxian said.

"Don't worry, Godfather, I will definitely handle things properly. It's just the Embroidered Uniform Guard, I'll lead my troops and wipe them out in one fell swoop."

The general of the Divine Machine Battalion stood up, straightened his armor, and looked at his subordinates with a dignified gaze.
