Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 520 Guard
  Qi Wangjian knew Chen He quite well. He knew that this clan member, who was a generation younger than him, was an out-and-out martial arts fanatic. To have him show such an expression undoubtedly represented the swordsmanship he was currently practicing. It is far superior to the previous marksmanship.

He then thought about it and realized that although Gu Xun's strength is still a mystery and there is no practical conclusion, after analysis by his intelligence personnel, it can be believed that the opponent's strength is even comparable to those who rarely show up in the world. Compared with the peerless masters, he is only stronger than weak.

Chen He's swordsmanship must have come from Gu Xun, and what a person of this strength can produce will certainly not be ordinary, especially since the martial arts that Chen He originally practiced were not very good at all.

Tian Dan is indeed a famous general, but his martial arts skills are not outstanding. The martial arts passed down from him are naturally mediocre. It is very difficult for Chen He to reach the previous level.

After all... Marksmanship is a standard military martial art, and is generally used by half-skilled military commanders. For those with advanced military skills like Bai Qi, the weapon they are best at is the sword.

Anyway, this is a story that starts with a sword, so... the father of the version understands it.

In this world, truly advanced martial arts generally only exist among the various schools of thought, and are protected under the strictest regulations. Even the royal families of the Seven Kingdoms have difficulty accessing them.

If we use the most straightforward facts to prove it, just one point is enough - there are almost no peerless masters who are not from various schools of thought.

There may be exceptions, but it is estimated that in hundreds of years there will only be a few figures who rise from humble beginnings. They are very rare exceptions and generally have nothing to do with the royal family of the Seven Kings.

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Qi Wangjian breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was more Buddhist, he did not want to lose the top combat power of Chen He inexplicably.

"Haha, since He'er is confident, I won't ask too many questions. But since you said it will take some time to surpass the past, that means... your strength will decline during this period of time?" Rare After touching his beard, Qi Wangjian continued to ask.

Chen He had no intention of hiding anything and nodded and admitted, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Then he continued to describe his situation in detail, "Now that I am turning to internal strength, it will take some time to completely transform the existing internal strength into new internal strength. During this time, my strength will seriously decline."

"Well..." Qi Wangjian frowned slightly and asked with some embarrassment, "How long will it take?"

Chen He didn't know why Qi Wangjian cared so much about the recovery time of his strength. Although he was an important combat force of Jixiawei, he was not really an indispensable figure.

Jixiawei is an espionage organization, not a killer organization. There are not many situations where it has to fight.

But this had nothing to do with him. After careful consideration, Chen He gave an approximate time, "three months."

"After three months, I should be able to complete the transformation of my internal strength, and most of my strength will be restored, which is enough to cope with most tasks."

"Three months..." Qi Wangjian chewed on this time several times.

This time stuck is a bit subtle...

After he finished talking to himself, Qi Wangjian came back to his senses and kindly explained Chen's doubts, "He'er, the reason why I am concerned about this issue is because I will be traveling to Qin soon, and I need you to accompany me to protect me."

King Jian of Qi is just courageous, not a fool. The trip to Qin is dangerous regardless of whether King Qin has evil intentions or not.

Chen He is one of the two people with the highest individual combat power in the hands of the Qi royal family, and is naturally the most suitable escort candidate for King Qi Jian's visit to the Qin Dynasty.

By the way, another person with the highest combat power is Tian Dan's younger brother, Tian Heng. However, compared to the Tian Dan brothers, Qi Wangjian himself prefers the pure-minded Chen He.

This was not only because he was on guard against the Tian Dan brothers, but also because he took a fancy to the relationship between Chen He and Gu Xun. Maybe he would be in trouble and could get help from his master.

When Chen He heard about this mission, he was very excited. He went to Qin State, firstly, he could meet Gu Xunjian, and secondly, he could meet the masters of Qin State. You must know that there are Lishan Mountain and Taiyi Mountain next to Xianyang. These two peaks house the headquarters of the Taoist and Yin-Yang schools.

Killing two birds with one stone... No, he also has the task of protecting his own king, so he kills three birds with one stone. But if the inner strength transfer is not done well, it will be difficult for him to even do it, and he will easily go crazy...

So he could only look at Qi Wangjian eagerly to see what his king would say.

Seeing him like this, Qi Wangjian thought about it and asked tentatively, "I will set off for this court meeting in early March. By the time we arrive in Xianyang, it should be almost time, right?"

Chen He thought about it and felt a little reluctant. However, if he had been working overtime during this period, not listening to what was going on outside the window, and focused on cultivating his internal strength with his sword, he should be able to do it in time.

"There is enough time, Your Majesty, but I'm afraid I won't have time to do anything else in the past two months."

Qi Wangjian waved his hand indifferently, "It doesn't matter."

The sky is huge and the earth is huge. On the territory of Qi State, His Majesty the King of Qi must have the greatest personal safety, and everyone else has to step aside.

"That's no problem." Without the distraction of trivial matters, Chen He was still very confident, although the actual source of confidence was the Thunder Sword, not his own talent.

"Okay." Qi Wangjian nodded with a satisfied smile and began to greet people, "If there's nothing else, He'er, just go down and do your work."

The main reason he came to Chen He today was to confirm the issue of combat strength and to adjust the security issues. Now that he had finished talking, of course he wanted Chen He to seize all the time to transfer to another school, so as not to be too late.

Chen He stood up, bowed again, and then turned around and left. The sound of armor scraping was still there, but his steps were a little faster.

He also knew that the safety of King Qi was not a joke and he must seize the time.

………………

On the official road from Linzi to Songhai, Gu Xun drove the carriage lazily.

Yan Lingji was in the carriage, whining and not knowing what she was doing.

During this time, Yan Lingji was very dissatisfied with Gu Xun because she felt ignored.

Gu Xun has been busy making money, either on the way to find craftsmen to study the method of making salt, or on the way to see a doctor for an enemy, and rarely spends time with Yan Lingji.

In fact, there was no point in spending his time. Yan Lingji's dissatisfaction was ultimately caused by boredom.

When she was in Jidu, because there was nothing interesting to get involved in, she repeatedly used herself as bait to go fishing, and tricked quite a few people as a victim. Of course, those people were tricked to death. I can also say that I deserve it.

But this time in Linzi, in order to ensure the stability of the capital, King Qi Jian secretly ordered people to inform all the various forces in the city, large and small, Bai Dao and underworld, and they were not allowed to provoke Gu Xun or Yan Lingji.

Of course, she couldn't repeat the fishing incident again, and it wasn't her style to forcefully come to find trouble.

As a result, she gained almost nothing from her trip to Linzi. The only good thing was that Qi Wangjian took out a lot of fire fox furs from the palace treasury and gave them to Gu Xun as gifts. In the end, they naturally became her new clothes.

Better than nothing...
