Shi Jian's face looked grim as soon as Zhao Ju appeared with the army, and now it was even uglier. Under Shi Le's cold gaze, Shi Jian knelt on one knee and bowed his head, saying: "Great General, we are the Jie Clan, you said Han people wouldn't treat us as equals. We have struggled for years to attain our current status; how can we give it up so easily?"
He continued, "If you don't want King of Chu to be the emperor, then let's go rescue King of Beihai, support him to become emperor, or choose someone from the Liu Royal Family to be emperor; in short, we absolutely cannot side with the Han people."
Zhao Ju and others frowned, but Zhao Hanzhang seemed completely unbothered, sitting at the head of the table, watching Shi Le with interest, waiting for his response.
Shi Le did not feel touched by Shi Jian's earnest intentions, only felt offended.
