The strongest devouring system in the Three Kingdoms

Hearing Dian Wei's words, Wang Yun was overjoyed. Ding Yuan had really shot himself in the foot. However, Wang Yun did not show any joy on his face. Instead, he said to Dian Wei with a serious expression, "Grand Tutor trusts you, Dian Wei."

"Trust?" Dian Wei sat down on the ground. "If he trusted me, he wouldn't have made me his bodyguard all this time! Am I, the dignified Marquis Wen, just Ding Yuan's bodyguard? He even tries to steal a woman from his bodyguard, and I'm the one keeping watch for Ding Yuan when he spends every night in the palace!"

"Dian Wei, be careful what you say!" Wang Yun quickly stopped Dian Wei, how could such a thing be said in such a place?

"Yes." Dian Wei was perhaps truly dejected. Looking at Dian Wei's dejected face, Wang Yun knew his opportunity had come.

"Dian Wei, do you really think so?" Wang Yun dismissed everyone and asked.

Dian Wei looked up and saw Wang Yun's actions, and alarm bells went off in his mind. What was this old scoundrel Wang Yun up to?

“Father-in-law, I am a military general and I am used to being straightforward. Please feel free to speak your mind.”

"Dian Wei, have you ever wanted to gallop across the battlefield?" Wang Yun struck at Dian Wei's heart. Upon hearing Wang Yun's words, a sharp glint flashed in Dian Wei's eyes, and then he said dejectedly, "What's the point of wanting to? He won't let me go."

“My dear son-in-law, since that man won’t let you go, then we’ll overthrow him,” Wang Yun said viciously.

“Father-in-law, do you know what you’re saying?” Dian Wei looked up and glared at Wang Yun.

Wang Yun nodded and said, "I understand."

"Speak, what do you want me to do?" Dian Wei asked directly.

Wang Yun seemed a little uncomfortable with Dian Wei's tone of voice. He paused for a moment, then said softly to Dian Wei, "Execute the traitor Ding!"

“You are the Emperor’s man.” Dian Wei stood up and said to Wang Yun with a smirk, “You killed Ding Yuan and now you want me to be branded as a traitor to my father? Show me your sincerity, Father-in-law. If your sincerity is not enough to move me, you know what the consequences will be today.”

"Dian Wei, listen to the imperial decree!" Wang Yun pulled an imperial decree from his sleeve as if by magic and read it to Dian Wei. However, Dian Wei did not move at all. Seeing Dian Wei, Wang Yun said, "Dian Wei, aren't you going to accept the decree?"

"The emperor is nothing but a puppet. Whether this imperial edict is useful or not depends on my father-in-law's opinion." Don't really think Dian Wei is ignorant. At least he understands these most basic things perfectly well. Liu Bian is just a puppet. Even if Ding Yuan falls and Wang Yun takes over, it's the same. Liu Bian still has no real power. Dian Wei is a man who values ​​relationships, but even more so, he values ​​self-interest. As long as the benefits are sufficient, relationships become dispensable.

"After this is accomplished, you will be the Grand General, and I will be the Grand Commandant," Wang Yun said directly.

“Alright, and there’s also Chan’er. After this is done, I will marry her directly,” Dian Wei said.

Wang Yun nodded: "That's natural. With your marriage to Chan'er, our two families will become even closer."

Wang Yun and Dian Wei secretly discussed matters in the mansion for more than half an hour. Dian Wei then left with his personal guards. As he left, he angrily smashed a stone lion in front of the mansion. Of course, this was just an act, but to outsiders, it looked like Wang Yun and Dian Wei had a falling out.

On August 6th, 2188 in the Yellow Emperor's reign, Ding Yuan set off from Meibao to Chang'an to meet Liu Bian. He had received an imperial edict from Wang Yun, saying that Liu Bian had decided to abdicate and that Ding Yuan was to enter the palace to discuss the details. Upon hearing this news, Ding Yuan could not sit still and rushed to the palace with one hundred personal guards. At the same time, he sent a message to Dian Wei, asking him to wait for him outside the palace and enter with him to protect him.

"Wang Yun, what are you doing!" When Ding Yuan arrived at the palace gate, he saw Wang Yun and his men blocking the gate. Alarm bells rang in his mind. What was Wang Yun up to?

Wang Yun sneered at Ding Yuan: "By order of the Emperor, execute the traitor Ding Yuan!"

At Wang Yun's command, hundreds of Imperial Guards rushed out from near the palace gate, and a hundred archers emerged from the city gate, drawing their bows and aiming at Ding Yuan and his guards.

Ding Yuan arrived in haste today, bringing only about a hundred guards with him. Ding Yuan said sternly to Wang Yun, "Wang Yun, you scoundrel, falsely conveyed the imperial edict. Do you all want to join the rebellion?"

Ding originally thought that the Imperial Guards around him would be driven away by his shouts, but to his surprise, they were unmoved and continued to advance.

Ding Yuan cried out, "Where is my son Dian Wei?!"

"Where is my son Dian Wei?!"

After a long pause, a voice came from behind: "Dian Wei is here! Traitors, prepare to die!"

Ding Yuan said gleefully, "Wang Yun, you scoundrel, may you die!"

Ding Yuan didn't see Wang Yun flee in fear as he had expected. Instead, Wang Yun looked at him with a smile and said, "Ding thief, your death is near!"

"Wang Yun, you..."

*Thud!* Before Ding Yuan could finish speaking, a sharp sound of a weapon piercing flesh rang out. Ding Yuan saw the sword tip in his chest, and with difficulty turned his head to see Dian Wei behind him: "Why!" Dian Wei did not answer him, but instead pulled out his sword, kicked Ding Yuan away, and roared: "I am ordered to execute the traitor Ding Yuan. Surrender and you will not be killed!"

"Avenge the Grand Tutor!"

When Ding Yuan's personal guards saw that Ding Yuan was dead, they rushed towards Dian Wei like madmen. Dian Wei smiled contemptuously and said, "Without firearms, I consider all of you as mere clay chickens and earthen dogs!"

Moments later, Ding Yuan's personal guards were all slaughtered. Wang Yun stepped forward and said to Dian Wei, who was like a god of war, "My good son-in-law, Ding Yuan is dead. Now we should quickly gather the troops in the city and take control of the city's defenses!"

“Father-in-law is right, I’ll go right away!” Dian Wei said, bowing to Wang Yun.

"Yes, my good son-in-law, go quickly!" Wang Yun said to Dian Wei, then turned to the Imperial Guards and ordered, "Guard the palace walls well. Without my order, do not let a single person in!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Ding Yuan is dead, but this news is not yet known to the high command of the Xiliang army. The Xiliang troops near the palace walls had already been transferred away by Dian Wei before Ding Yuan was born. At that time, Dian Wei was Ding Yuan's adopted son, so it was too convenient for him to forge an imperial edict.

Wang Yun entered the palace to report the good news to Liu Bian. The Xiliang army waited until the patrolmen in the city noticed something was wrong near the palace and came to patrol before they discovered that a battle had taken place outside the palace. The soldiers who had fallen outside the palace walls were all Ding Yuan's personal guards. Only then did they rush to report to their respective leaders.

As for Ding Yuan, he had already been dismembered by the angry crowd around him. Just like Chen Er in his previous life, the people of this world put Ding Yuan in a state of utter chaos. It is said that the fat in Ding Yuan's belly burned for more than an hour. By the time Li Ru and the others found Ding Yuan's body, it was completely unrecognizable.
