The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Drink it all in one gulp.

Throughout the entire process, neither of them uttered a single word. Yet, their silence spoke volumes.

The banquet continued, and Ding Yuan stood up at this moment, seemingly wanting to say something. Everyone put down their wine glasses and looked at Ding Yuan.

Just then, the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open, and a huge gray wolf led a man directly into the room.

In the blink of an eye, the enormous wolf was beside Chen Er and Zhang Liao.

At the same time, a pair of iron halberds were also pointed at Chen Er.

"I heard you two have awakened your martial arts skills? Let's attack together!"

"Dian Wei, what do you mean by this?! Don't you know that weapons should not be used at a banquet?" Ding Yuan said.

Although it was a condemnation, it didn't sound like a reproach at all, and Dian Wei probably forgot about it after hearing it.

"I heard that the two of them have awakened extraordinary martial arts skills and even ascended to the Heavenly Pavilion. Therefore, I am eager to test my skills against them. I humbly request my permission, Godfather!"

Dian Wei didn't even turn his head, and just said it stiffly.

Everyone in the hall heard these words. The previously noisy hall fell silent; everyone stopped talking and looked at Ding Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao's face turned furious! He couldn't help but let out a cold snort:

"If you want to have a competition, of course you can! But today is supposed to be a banquet, General Dian, you really have no sense of timing!"

Zhang Liao was angry, so he spoke his mind without any hesitation.

Chen Er remained silent. He glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the people in the court, and then at Zhang Yang, who sat calmly and composedly at the head of the civil officials' seats.

He then looked at Ding Yuan, wanting to see what Ding Yuan would do.

"What do you all think about the competition during the banquet?" Ding Yuan stroked his beard, avoiding Chen Er's gaze and looking at the others.

“What’s wrong with having a martial arts contest to liven things up during a banquet! As a general, how can you be so hesitant and timid? Is that befitting your status as a military officer?” Song Xian was the first to stand up.

“I think General Dian Wei is right. What’s wrong with having a martial arts contest to add to the fun? Of course, if Generals Zhang Liao and Chen Er are afraid of General Dian Wei’s formidable reputation, they can just say so,” Wei Xu also stepped forward and said.

Wei Xu, Song Xian, and the military officers around them all wore faint, smug smiles, which made Chen Er feel nauseous.

It was clearly Dian Wei who broke the rules, so how come these people portray him and Zhang Liao as cowardly and heartless? Could their ability to distort the truth and spread rumors be any more exaggerated?

The other military officers also stood up and echoed this sentiment, but Gao Shun remained seated and did not move.

Ding Yuan remained calm, ignoring Chen Er and Zhang Liao, and looked towards the seats of the civil officials who had remained silent:

"Do you, fellow civil officials, also think so?"

Before this, although the civil officials, led by Zhang Yang, treated Chen Er and Zhang Liao as strangers, they did not speak in agreement with the military generals. At this moment, however, Ding Yuan steered the war towards the civil officials.

All eyes were fixed on Zhang Yang. Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Yang slowly stood up and faced Ding Yuan:

"Hasn't the adults already made a decision? Why are they asking us?"

Upon hearing this, many people's expressions changed drastically. Zhang Yang's words could be described as a blatant provocation against Ding Yuan!

Even a seasoned veteran like Ding Yuan couldn't help but change color slightly:

"Lord Zhang, what do you mean by that?! Are you accusing me?"

At this moment, both civil officials and military generals held their breath.

They hadn't expected Zhang Yang to say such things, and they certainly hadn't expected Ding Yuan to say them either.

Is it time to tear off that facade between the two giants?

"This humble official wouldn't dare. However, this humble official is quite curious as to why General Dian was able to barge into the Prefectural Governor's mansion with weapons and a mount! Has the Prefectural Governor's mansion changed hands!?"

Zhang Yang remained silent until he spoke, and when he did, it was earth-shattering! Everyone fell silent in fear.

"You, Zhang Yang, you old scoundrel, you're spouting nonsense!" Dian Wei's expression changed. He wasn't cunning enough, but he knew very well how serious it was to change the surname of the governor's mansion.

Can't you see, Ding Yuan's expression has completely changed?

"Dian Wei, shut up!" Ding Yuan slammed his hand on the table in front of him, instantly splitting the magnificent table into several pieces!

However, his roar did indeed intimidate Dian Wei, silencing him.

Zhang Liao and Chen Er remained silent, observing the situation with indifference.

This was a clash between the officials of Bingzhou and the military leaders. Although it started because of the two of them, neither of them had the right to get involved.

“Lord Zhang, you are exaggerating. The position of governor is bestowed by the imperial court. Even if I wish to relinquish it, the court's approval is still required. Dian Wei's actions are somewhat inappropriate.” Ding Yuan said, looking at Dian Wei.

"General Dian, if I deduct three months' salary and confine you to your room for a month to reflect on your mistakes, do you believe me?"

Dian Wei's forehead veins bulged, but in the end he just snorted coldly and said in a muffled voice, "Dian Wei, I have nothing to say!"

"Lord Zhang, are you satisfied with this?" Ding Yuan looked coldly at Zhang Yang.

"Everything is up to Your Excellency the Governor to decide," Zhang Yang said slowly. However, just when everyone thought the matter would end with Zhang Yang standing up for Zhang Liao and Chen Er, Zhang Yang suddenly changed his tone:

"However, it is not unreasonable for the general to have a contest to add to the festivities. Moreover, the world is currently in turmoil, and it is precisely the time when we need to promote martial prowess. Therefore, I believe that General Dian Wei's suggestion is not unreasonable."

Chen Er's heart sank, and Zhang Liao's expression froze. Neither of them heard the words of the other civil officials that followed.

In reality, what difference does it make whether you hear it or not?

"Since everyone thinks so, then I won't refuse your enthusiasm. How about you two young generals have a match with Dian Wei?"

Chen Er saw that Zhang Yang had a faint smile on his face, while the other civil and military officials had malicious intent on their faces.

"My lord, I think this is not advisable! Generals Zhang Liao and Chen Er have only just awakened their martial skills and need time to familiarize themselves with them. I am willing to take their place and compete with General Dian Wei to add to the festivities!"

But at that moment, a person who had been silent suddenly stood up and spoke loudly.

Everyone looked at him, and a warm feeling welled up in Chen Er and Zhang Liao's hearts!

Dian Wei's face had turned ashen.
