Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 808 Qi Wangjian’s choice
  It's night at the King's Palace of Qi.

King Qi Jian sat alone in the palace, waiting for the arrival of the 'visitor'.

Without waiting for too long, the person he was waiting for came to the hall.

Chen He, wearing his favorite bright silver fish scale armor, walked in with great strides.

Tonight, he received a secret order from King Qi Jian and sneaked into the palace secretly.

However, with his current strength, even if he was wearing silver armor with cold light, he could avoid all the outposts in the palace and sneak into King Qi Jian's bedroom quietly.

Chen He paid a military salute to King Jian of Qi and said hello, "I have met the king."

Qi Wangjian looked at the high-spirited Chen He and couldn't help but reveal a heartfelt smile.

Unlike Tian Dan, who mostly just uses his relationship, he sincerely loves Chen He, a junior.

"Come and sit down." Qi Wang Jian cheerfully waved his hand, gesturing for Chen He to take a seat.

Chen He didn't show any politeness, he just walked over and sat down.

"Your Majesty secretly summoned me, Yinye, to come here, but do you have something important to say?" Chen He asked straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

This is his usual style.

Qi Wangjian smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he should not be anxious, "In the past two years, you have completed your tasks in Jixiawei very well."

"It's just a matter of responsibility." Chen He replied humbly.

"I would like to ask you, how do you feel about Ji Xiawei's work?" Qi Wangjian asked a somewhat strange question with a smile.

"Huh?" Chen He couldn't help but frown.

How can I feel about Jixiawei's work? Just... just do it and be done with it.

"What does the king mean?" Not knowing why, Chen He had to ask Qi Wangjian directly.

"Haha..." Seeing Chen He's confused look, Qi Wangjian couldn't help but smile, and then explained, "I want to know whether you are used to Jixiawei's work and whether you are willing to continue?"

Chen He was still a little confused.

He understood Qi Wangjian's question, but he didn't understand why the other party asked this, but he still answered honestly:
  "I have long been accustomed to Jixiawei's affairs. As for continuing...as long as the king still needs it, Chen He will not withdraw."

"Haha, okay, very good." Qi Wangjian nodded cheerfully, and then suddenly asked, "Then if I want to hand over the entire Jixiawei to you, are you willing to take over and lead them?"

"Huh?" Chen Hegang's slack eyebrows knitted together again, "Let me lead Jixiawei?"

"This matter...can't be done."

Chen He refused without much thought.

Not to mention that he is not willing to take over Jixiawei, even if his personal wishes are ignored, this matter will not work at all.

He knows his own family affairs, and with his ability, he is more than enough to be a goon who carries out orders and directs a small team to perform specific tasks.

But when it comes to controlling the overall situation and arranging the entire Jixiawei... I'm sorry, it's beyond my ability.

"Your Majesty, I have no intention and no ability to command the entire Jixiawei."

Upon hearing this answer, even though he had expected it, Qi Wangjian couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity..."

Chen Heyi cupped his hands and apologized, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Qi Wangjian quickly returned to normal and waved his hand nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. I actually know that you are not suitable to be in charge of Jixiawei."

Chen He breathed a sigh of relief. He was still a little worried that his king would get mad and force Jixiawei to him.

But then he couldn't help but ask, "Did something happen to Jixiawei?"

Qi Wangjian smiled and shook his head, "Ji Xiawei is fine, but something happened to Wei State."

"The capital's beams are broken, and the King of Wei surrenders."

"Oh?" Chen He raised his eyebrows, quite surprised.

Although he didn't care much about these things, Daliang City... didn't he remember that it had just been besieged by the Qin army for a few days?
  Is this a failure?
  Is the Qin army too strong, or is the Wei army too weak?
  But having said that, if the Kingdom of Wei is destroyed, what does Jixiawei have to do with it?

Before Chen He could ask his doubts, King Qi took the initiative and said slowly:

"The Kingdom of Wei is destroyed, and now only Qi and Chu are left in the world."

Yan Guo, who went to Liaodong to become a barbarian, was automatically ignored by him. Chen He looked at Qi Wangjian quietly and said nothing.

Even with his political sensitivity, he knew that Qi and Chu were in trouble now, but... so what?

He never asked about the internal affairs of Qi. How King Jian of Qi governed the country was his business. He was just the commander of Jixiawei and was not under his control.

Even though he could see that under the indulgence of King Qi Jian and the reckless behavior of He Xiangguo, Qi was heading towards the abyss little by little.

He also remained silent.

Because he didn't know how to govern the country, he didn't know if King Qi Jian had a more suitable choice.

If you don’t understand, just shut up.

Qi Wangjian continued with a sigh, "Chu is now in constant civil strife and the government is in turmoil. I'm afraid it may not be able to stop Qin for long. By then, Qi will be the only one left."

Chen He still didn't say a word.

"By then, Qi State will not be able to escape the danger of destruction." Qi Wangjian explained the future fate of Qi State in a complicated and calm tone, "Qi State has no way to go, and the few... are powerless. Sooner or later, we will inevitably The end to face.”

At this time, Chen He finally spoke, "Chen He, I am willing to do whatever it takes to defend the country!"

He doesn't know how to govern the country, but he knows how to serve the country to the death. This is very simple.

Qi Wangjian shook his head and said seriously, "No, I don't want you to die with Qi Guo."

Chen He looked at Qi Wangjian in confusion.

Qi Wangjian showed a warm smile, "Qi will surely perish, but Qi people do not have to risk their lives for Qi, which is destined to perish."

"That doesn't make sense."

Chen He pursed his lips.

The meaning of Qi Wangjian's words is relatively easy to understand - he seems not to lead Qi to resist Qin, but to surrender directly.

He still did not express his opinion because he still did not understand whether resistance was better than no resistance.

At this time, Qi Wangjian finally returned to the original topic of Jixiawei.

"I originally hoped that you could lead Jixiawei and disappear, hide in the dark, and make plans in the future, but... haha."

When Chen He heard that Qi Wangjian's purpose was this, he hesitated and said, "If this is the case, Chen He will not refuse."

"But... I'm really not good at this, I'm afraid I won't be able to make any achievements."

Since it was an important matter for the family and the country, even if Chen He was not happy, he would not shirk it anymore, but he had to explain in advance that he was really not capable.

Qi Wangjian smiled and waved his hand, "I have given up this plan."

Chen He's lips moved slightly, wanting to tell Qi Wangjian that he didn't mean to shirk the blame at all.

However, Qi Wangjian rushed before him and said, "It has nothing to do with your refusal just now."

"It's just that I have figured it out. You are really not suitable for this. If you force me, I'm afraid it will harm not only you, but also other Jixiawei."

"What about this..." Chen He asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry." Qi Wangjian comforted him with a smile, "Our Tianchen clan has thousands of people, so we won't be able to find a suitable candidate to implement this plan."

Chen He was relieved, but he still apologized in a low tone, "Chen He, you have failed the king."

Qi Wangjian still had a smile on his face, but his eyes towards Chen He were out of focus.

There are only two candidates he plans to take charge of Ji's lower back.

A Chenhe.

The other one is Tian Dan's younger brother, Tian Heng.

Originally, he was very wary of the three Tian Dan brothers, so he listed Chen He as a candidate who was not suitable at all.

But at this time he also figured it out.

What happens in the future is destined to have nothing to do with him, so let these capable people do what they want.
