In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Zi Xian spoke, and what she said piqued Chen Shan's curiosity.

Chen Shan thought that since Zi Xian had already broken away, Zi Xian Tower would definitely take action directly.

After all, the seven kingdoms all held a unified stance on their affairs, remaining tight-lipped and making it clear that they would never see him restored to power.

Although Chen Shan still didn't understand what the problem was.

But for Chen Shan, this kind of thing was no longer necessary.

Even if Zi Xian Lou is creating trouble for itself, Chen Shan, with his strength, doesn't need to worry about such a problem at all.

"What does 'Purple Immortal Pavilion' mean? Are they trying to get you?"

Chen Shan asked.

Zi Xian shook her head.

"Perhaps it's due to the changes in the Xia Kingdom's political situation; the people behind Zixian Tower want to see you, sir."

"After all, among the seven kingdoms, the situation in the Xia Kingdom is the most complicated."

"The royal families of the other six countries are basically stable, and the people of Zixianlou have long been established within them."

Listening to Zi Xian's words, Chen Shan seemed to be deep in thought.

Behind this Purple Immortal Pavilion lies the royal family of the ancient Qin Dynasty, a once unified dynasty.

Although they have now become aristocratic families, they still wield considerable power.

Compared to the royal families of these seven kingdoms, they are not much weaker.

Chen Shan was quite clear about this.

"Alright, shall we meet at Zixian Tower?"

"That's exactly what I wanted to know. What's the purpose of all this fuss behind the scenes at Zixian Tower?"

Chen Shan was very curious, since the troubles had basically been resolved.

His only concern was naturally the development of his family.

As long as the family business is developed properly, there's nothing to worry about. This is also Chen Shan's idea.

After all, with the system in place, there's no need to worry about anything.

"Yes, first thing tomorrow morning."

Zi Xian nodded.

Chen Shan readily agreed, as it would be a good opportunity for him to learn how the once unified dynasty had inexplicably become what it is today.

It was also to satisfy Chen Shan's curiosity.

The next day.

Chen Shan went directly to Zixianlou.

The Purple Immortal Pavilion in the inner city is now under Chen Shan's control. Even if the people behind it come, they will still be monitored.

Zixian Tower, side room.

As Chen Shan approached, a glance revealed several people of considerable strength in the room.

They were all dressed in dark gold robes, and their auras did not seem weak.

Chen Shan also carefully examined the people among them.

"Are you the person behind Zixianlou?"

"He doesn't seem to be that old."

Chen Shan looked around for a while, and his gaze finally settled on the man in front of him.

To be precise, this person was only a little older than Chen Shan.

He's only in his early thirties at most.

Such a person was able to control so many complex matters in the seven kingdoms.

"General Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"General Chen deserves much credit for the great changes that have taken place in the Xia Kingdom today."

"My name is Qin Ming."

"He is the real owner of Zixianlou. Similarly, General Chen should also know something about us."

Qin Ming introduced himself directly, and Chen Shan also sized him up.

"Are you a member of the royal family of the ancient Qin Dynasty?"

"I thought your force would be made up of some old men or something. The ancient Qin Dynasty has been gone for almost a century, hasn't it?"

Chen Shan looked at the other person with curiosity.

The seven kingdoms now have a century-old foundation, which they cannot simply restore simply by wishing to do so.

"It's been a century. The once unified empire is now..."

At this point, Qin Ming's expression clearly showed some emotion.

After all, this was a national annihilation, and for the members of their royal family, this feeling was obviously even more profound.

This is something they find even harder to accept.

"While the rise and fall of dynasties may be influenced by human actions, it is also predetermined by fate."

"General Chen took Zi Xian from my Zi Xian Tower, so he must know something about my royal family."

"I've come here today to discuss cooperation with General Chen."

As Qin Ming spoke, he immediately stated the purpose of his trip.

Chen Shan was somewhat surprised to hear what the other party said.

Discuss cooperation?

Although he had indeed caused quite a stir in the capital, he hadn't expected the other party to immediately offer cooperation.

This was indeed something Chen Shan hadn't expected.

"Cooperation? What do you think I can cooperate on?"

"I've basically done everything I wanted to do. Now all I need to do is live a good life with my beautiful wife and bring glory to my family."

"There's no obligation to do anything risky."

"You're right, aren't you?"

Chen Shan spoke very frankly.

Who would be willing to take on something risky and troublesome?

Moreover, Chen Shan wanted to develop and strengthen his own family; he had no interest in engaging in any kind of restoration drama with them.

That's not a place that interests Chen Shan.

Therefore, Chen Shan would not cooperate with them unless they offered something that interested him.

After Chen Shan finished speaking, Qin Ming clearly understood what Chen Shan meant.

Therefore, there was no hesitation.

"Our cooperation doesn't involve any dangerous things; what I want to do is simply take control of some things."

"For example, the economy, and military weapons, etc."

"And I can share all of these with General Chen."

Qin Ming spoke very decisively.

However, this was not his real purpose, and Chen Shan was well aware of this.

"The terms are indeed very good, but I'm afraid this isn't your original intention, is it?"

"Since we're discussing cooperation, we should be more open and honest."

Chen Shan said.

The offer is tempting, but honesty is still necessary; otherwise, there's really no way to put things at ease, and Chen Shan won't feel at ease.

Seeing Chen Shan say this, Qin Ming also directly stated his own thoughts.

"What I want to do is to ensure that the dynasty survives in another way."

After Qin Ming finished speaking, his eyes showed a mixture of determination and helplessness.

Given the current situation, the Qin Dynasty has no way to be restored, and all he can think of is to let the dynasty exist in another form.

"Passing on a legacy? Speaking of which, I'm curious how your ancient Qin Dynasty actually collapsed. Unified dynasties should exist for quite a long time, so how did it end?"

When Chen Shan asked this question, Qin Ming also fell silent.

Clearly, reminiscing is not a pleasant thing for someone like him, a member of the former royal family.

"What else could it be? How do you think the seven kingdoms came to be?"

The so-called founding rulers of the seven states were actually ministers of my ancient Qin Dynasty, all high-ranking and powerful civil officials.

"In a way, it's very similar to the Xia Kingdom before. Military power was eroded, and even the imperial power could not be maintained, eventually leading to its division."

Qin Ming's meaning was very simple, and Chen Shan understood it clearly.
