"Okay, very good." Upon hearing this, Emperor Wei's face lost all warmth, and coldness rushed onto his cheeks. His eyes on Qi Heng were no longer as gentle as before.

"Your Majesty, please accept the post of commander-in-chief." Qi Heng said harshly, with no trace of regret in his eyes.

"deliver an imperial order....."

......

Qi Heng walked out of the palace with despair, holding in his hand the imperial edict that His Majesty had just given him, with a mixture of joy and worry on his face.

"Master Qi" a harsh voice sounded in his ears.

Qi Heng paused for a moment and looked up. It was his nemesis He Wen. He Wen was warlike by nature. Over the years, he had been encouraging His Majesty to fight. It was precisely because of him that there was no need to send troops several times. The opportunity to rest with the people was ruined by him.

When Qi Heng saw him, he secretly sighed in his heart: David is finished, not only finished, I am afraid that Emperor Wei will soon be like Emperor Jin.

"Master He" Qi Heng's face was calm, his eyes glanced at him lightly, and he was about to go out.

"Master Qi is leaving the palace so soon?" He Wen was confused. In the past, he would always be cold-blooded when facing him, but today he was surprisingly quiet.

Qi Heng stopped and said: "First of all, I would like to say congratulations to Mr. He, and congratulations to Mr. He on your promotion."

After saying that, he raised his hands and clasped his fists to say goodbye.

He Wen froze on the spot, looking at Qi Heng's steps and feeling very heavy.

"What happened?" He Wen asked the chamberlain who led him into the palace in a low voice.

The face of the chamberlain fell: "Master He, you have to be careful today. Your Majesty and Master Qi had a big quarrel. Master Qi was dismissed from the post of commander-in-chief and is now just a city collector in Jincheng."

He Wen took a deep breath when he heard this.

Over the years, he and Qi Heng have been protesting in separate chambers. It is not that he deliberately wants to cause trouble for Qi Heng, but that he wants to create a scene of even power to paralyze His Majesty.

He has always supported Mr. Qi's ideas, but he also understands His Majesty.

Recovering the Jin Kingdom has always been a thorn in his heart. In order to remove this thorn, he will complete it at all costs.

Now... He Wen had a bad premonition in his heart, and recalled the scene he encountered on the street when he went out in the morning.

The imperial guards drove the people back in the city with fierce and ruthless methods. Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard a lot of rumors on the street.

"Master Qi was dismissed from office? What happened?" He Wen felt uneasy in his heart.

"Let's go with our family first. You'll know when we get there. We have a morning court today." The servant looked anxious and was unwilling to reveal too much to He Wen.

In his opinion, it would not be a good thing if He Wen went in today. He had listened to Lord Qi's words in the early morning and knew that changes had taken place in the city. How could he not be anxious.

He Wen gave up questioning and followed the chamberlain into the palace obediently.

After Qi Heng left the palace, he immediately rode away and returned to Qi Mansion.

Butler Qi met Qi Heng's eyes. Before he could speak, Qi Heng asked, "Are the madam and ladies back?"

Butler Qi hesitated for a moment and said tremblingly: "Madam and the young masters are back, it's just...just"

"It's just what? Tell me quickly," Qi Heng scolded him as he walked, without any intention of slowing down.

"It's just that the madam and the gentlemen were injured and are resting in the house now."

"Where are the aunts?" Qi Heng was relieved to know that his wife was fine.

Butler Qi staggered for two steps and said: "None of them have returned home. I sent people to check, but even the guards can't be found."

Butler Qi felt that the mansion was going to be in chaos, but he also heard a lot of news from the guards who had gone out and came back, and knew that the entire Jincheng was now in chaos.

Not to mention the Qi Mansion, Shan Fan in the capital has two male officials and sons, and now they are all thinking about escaping.

"They haven't returned home yet" Qi Heng repeated these four words coldly, with ridicule in his eyes.

"Forget it, send someone to call the guards back." Qi Heng already knew that the imperial guards had blocked the city gate, and there was no point in pursuing it further.

Anyone who should or wanted to escape had already done so.

"Yes" the butler agreed and walked out.

"By the way, get ready and pack your things. We are ready to leave Jincheng at any time." Qi Heng turned his head and whispered in the butler's ear.

Now that I am just a small city guard, I have no reason to work for His Majesty anymore.

Naturally, he also has to think about himself.

"Yes" Butler Qi responded in surprise.

He wanted to leave a long time ago. After returning from the escort, he packed his luggage and waited for the uncle's order to escape with Renma.

But I didn't expect that the uncle also wanted to leave. Now it's better, the whole Qi family has a companion.

Qi Heng strode back to the back house. After making sure that his wife and children were okay, he went back to the study to write a letter.

He had to send the news here to his brother-in-law and several cronies as soon as possible.

...

On the other hand, after He Wen entered the palace, as expected, His Majesty forced him to take over the post of David's commander-in-chief and started recruiting troops.

The matter of restarting the alien race that was previously discussed with Qi Heng was also kept secret by His Majesty.

In short, His Majesty is feeling hot in the head right now. He feels that the Jin Kingdom’s emperor and empress are being held hostage, and the surrounding areas of the capital are occupied by the Allied Forces. Among them, Yeliuxi is watching over him. As long as he breaks through the encirclement of the Jin King’s army, the Jin Kingdom will be very happy. It's almost his.

As for the people of the Xie family, Emperor Wei didn't pay attention at all.

When he thought that he was about to avenge his shame, he had already thrown Qi Heng's warning out of his mind.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to recruit troops again?" Qi Heng couldn't believe it.

Emperor Wei said in a cold tone: "For the last time, all the males in the family who are over ten years old must be requisitioned."

Emperor Wei clenched his fists, feeling resentful in his heart. He vowed to take down the Jin Kingdom to the death this time.

But what he didn't know was that He Wen was already thinking of leaving his job.

He Wen reluctantly accepted Emperor Wei's appointment, and followed Emperor Wei to court with despair.

As soon as he entered the main hall, his expression changed.

"What's going on?" Emperor Wei was furious when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, I made some statistics and found that 23 out of 10 of the courtiers took leave today, and 23 out of 10 have not come." The chamberlain looked very embarrassed.

When Emperor Wei heard this, his face darkened and he asked, "What's going on?"

At this time, the commander of the Imperial Guard hurried in from outside the palace.

"See Your Majesty"

"Free gift"

"Your Majesty, the officials in the city have escaped with their families, and they have already left 20-30% of the time." Since the Imperial Guard took over the guard of Jincheng in the early morning, the commander of the Imperial Guard noticed something was wrong.

It would have been better not to check, but when I checked, I was shocked to find that they were all high-ranking officials of the second or third rank or above. Most of these people were military generals, and there were not many men left in the family. Most of these people were related to the Qi Heng family. .

There are the Qi Heng family's concubine's natal family, the mother's family, the wife's family, etc., all involved in the relationship.

If you think about it carefully, they are the families of military commanders.

"Why are you running away?" Emperor Wei's face turned dark when he heard this.

When the commander of the Imperial Guard heard this, his expression paused. Your Majesty, doesn't he know why he ran away?

It's not all your own idea to recruit troops to attack the Jin Dynasty.
