Chapter 155: Inflated Ambition
Chapter 155
"One autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains put on cotton. β
In the early morning of late autumn, the rain that had been brewing all night finally fell from the sky when the sky was white.
In the study of the West Flower Hall, Ye Nianlun put down the notebook in his hand, came to the window and opened the window, looked at the rain falling from the highest place in the sky outside the window, felt the bleak autumn atmosphere, and turned his head to Lin Xuanyuan, who was sitting on the side and smoking, and said with a smile.
Lin Xuanyuan didn't speak, just looked at the rain outside the window, the West Flower Hall used to be the place where the founding prime minister lived and worked, and now it is Ye Nianlun's office residence, every early summer when the begonia flowers bloom, it will become one of the grand scenes of the entire Hidden Dragon Sea, now it is close to the deep winter, the begonia is withering, but it still maintains a solemn, quiet and simple style, and with the rain dripping outside the window, it adds a touch of smart atmosphere to this legendary place.
Lin Xuanyuan indifferently glanced at the rain outside the window, and focused his gaze on the desk again, Ye Nianlun and Guo Tianlong's study is completely two styles, perhaps because of different duties, Guo Tianlong's study is deep and heavy, majestic and unfathomable, in that room, swept away by the old man's cold eyes, unless he really has a clear conscience, there are really not many problems Cadres can maintain stability and nature, and Ye Nianlun's study is atmospheric and upright, with a kind of royal spirit.
Every time Lin Xuanyuan came to Yinlonghai, no matter whose office he went to, there were only two words that came to mind.
Strength!
Whether it is Guo Tianlong or Ye Nianlun, Chen Hualou or Yang Xiuyuan, or Lin Qingtian Gao Changhe, anyone who lives here is undoubtedly one of the most powerful people in the entire Shenzhou Empire!
This is not its own combat power, but the monstrous power in its hands!
Combat power can destroy and kill.
But the real power can move everything, destroy everything, and sweep everything.
For men, power is the truly invincible force.
If the emperor does not have the world-shattering force, he is still the emperor.
But what if he loses the royal family?
Every time he came here, Lin Xuanyuan's mind was a little messy, he liked to think wildly, this imperial power center seemed to have a demonic power, which could easily induce anyone's huge desire for power.
Anyone who lives here may not be a great man, but he will definitely be able to leave his mark on history.
So much so that every time Lin Xuanyuan came here, he was thinking about how to control his true power.
"There are fewer and fewer people who dare to wander with me, Xuanyuan, what are you thinking?"
A voice with a gentle smile pulled Lin Xuanyuan's thoughts back to the normal track, Lin Xuanyuan immediately came back to his senses, opposite him, Ye Nianlun had already walked back from the window and sat behind the desk, but the window was not closed, the rain knocked on the land and lotus pond outside the window, Lin Xuanyuan's mood gradually became calm.
"Thinking about my own future. β
Lin Xuanyuan took a hard puff of his cigarette and chuckled, a very ordinary word, but it came out of his mouth with an indescribable pleasure.
Oh, the future.
This is something that Lin Xuanyuan has never thought of before, maybe he has thought about it, but it is absolutely incomplete, for the sake of peerless and powerful combat power, he did not hesitate to spend his future life through it, at that time, the future in his mind was filled with hatred and a pair of exquisite eyes, he also thought that his future was mostly to frantically look for the Eye of Horus after revenge, and then cure Linglong's eyes, maybe he was even more unlucky, and died directly on the way to find the Eye of Horus, or, with better luck, he cured Linglong's eyes, and the two got along quietly for the last period of time, maybe they could leave a child or somethingγ
Then on a snowy or sunny day, he died in Linglong's arms and was buried on Kunlun Mountain.
This is probably the best future he has imagined.
As for the better, Lin Xuanyuan didn't think about it, and he couldn't imagine it, and he felt that he didn't have the qualifications to think about it.
But now, it's different, it's really different.
Lin Xuanyuan could almost clearly feel his transformation, it was not his transformation from a madman to a normal person in the eyes of outsiders, but a transformation in his own heart.
After having the method of balance and a way to live, some things that had been subconsciously suppressed by him began to revive wildly.
It's like it's human greed in nature.
He wants more!
Power, wealth, beauty, all these things that he once spurned, after having a chance to live, that desire began to ferment wildly in the bottom of his heart.
Lin Xuanyuan knew that this kind of desire was called ambition.
Maybe even he didn't realize that in his heart, there was still some worship of the emperor after all.
Turning clouds and rain, covering the sky with one hand, one person shaking the world, the world is invincible.
He has all sorts of flaws, far from perfect, but definitely a real man.
That's how it should be!
He worships Master Xuanyuan Dragon and Tiger, worships the second master Ye Chunqiu, and worships his father-in-law Qin Tianjiao, when he first came into contact with martial arts, the backs of these three people were like three mountains standing beside Lin Xuanyuan at that time.
It is said that a man needs to look up at another man's back in order to grow.
And at that time, there were three backs that Lin Xuanyuan needed to look up to.
Therefore, he made rapid progress, countless desperate encounters, countless struggles, and after the peak law was completed, he was respected by countless people as His Royal Highness the God of War.
And after that?
He met the emperor.
If Xuanyuan, Dragon and Tiger, Ye Chunqiu, and Qin Tianjiao stimulated Lin Xuanyuan's pursuit of martial arts, then the appearance of the emperor directly stimulated Lin Xuanyuan's ambition to pursue power.
This kind of stimulation was not obvious when Lin Xuanyuan had little to live at the beginning, but when his current physical endurance became stronger and stronger, or it was no longer a luxury, that kind of ambition finally began to swell.
Do you want to be a peerless overlord like the emperor who treats the world as if it were nothing?
I don't think much of it.
Rebuilding the Xuanyuan line?
Is this kind of responsibility an ambition?
Lin Xuanyuan suddenly found that there seemed to be a goal in front of him, but it seemed that he had no goal, he felt that he was different from the emperor, but that kind of ever-expanding ambition had begun to make him feel more and more confused.
Lin Xuanyuan may or may not know, this kind of certainty and uncertainty about what he wants is the future that every young person has been confused about.
This feeling is extremely fresh, surprising and confusing.
"The Future"
Ye Nianlun nodded with a smile, looked at the young child sitting in front of him with strange eyes, and asked, "Then what does your future look like? What do you want? What height do you want to achieve? What goals do you want? Do you know all this?"
Only in this atmosphere is the relationship between the two more like a conversation between juniors and elders than an exchange between the two giants.
Lin Xuanyuan shook his head, sighed, and said lightly: "I only know that during this period of time, I have many more thoughts than before, and there are more and more thoughts that I didn't have before, and I seem to be a little dissatisfied." β
"If you are not satisfied, you are ambitious, and it is good to be ambitious. β
Ye Nianlun said with a smile, he couldn't see the impact of not sleeping for most of the night on him, his energy was still strong, Lin Xuanyuan came to the West Flower Hall at about half past two in the morning, without prior notice, he came directly alone, at that time Ye Nianlun had just rested for less than an hour, after getting up, Lin Xuanyuan explained his intention and took him to the study, chatted casually, smoked a cigarette, and then Ye Nianlun began to read Cheng Shuang's diary seriously, Cheng Shuang's diary was very thick, and there was a lot of content, Ye Nianlun read it very seriously, and after reading it, it was already early five o'clock, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry to discuss the contents of the diary with Lin Xuanyuan, but chatted with him with great interest about the ambition of a man, Lin Xuanyuan smiled bitterly and didn't say much.
Ye Nianlun took a deep look at Lin Xuanyuan, and said earnestly: "Think about it yourself, isn't it?" Some time ago, when you just brought Xuanyuan Dragon and Tiger back to the God of War Palace, I talked to Fuxing on the phone, and Fuxing told me on the phone at that time, with the hope of living, you will change sooner or later, it is normal to be ambitious, at your age, you have enough strength but don't want anything, it is completely unrealistic. β
He paused in his tone and continued to smile: "Fuxing has been waiting for this day for a long time. β
"Huh?"
Lin Xuanyuan looked up at Ye Nianlun.
Has the emperor waited for this day for a long time?
"You're going to break away from the royal family after all, God of War King, you can't do it for a lifetime, right? β
Ye Nianlun looked at Lin Xuanyuan meaningfully and said.
Lin Xuanyuan was silent.
Cause?
Of course he understands that his growth is completely explosive, at the age of twenty, his combat effectiveness has almost reached the peak that countless geniuses can't reach in a lifetime, when he became the king of the royal war god, the younger generation of the royal family of the same age as him did not grow up at all, the emperor is here, he can naturally suppress him, but many years later, if the emperor is not there, Lin Xuanyuan's position will undoubtedly become very embarrassing, at that time, even if he has a good relationship with Wang Bolong, some things will become very delicate.
But once he breaks away from the royal family and lets go of the authority of the royal family, with his experience of being a giant in the imperial family, he will definitely become the most natural ally of the royal family, and even if the emperor is gone, Lin Xuanyuan and the royal family can help each other, this reason could not be more obvious.
This kind of problem, when he decided to sit on the throne of the God of War King, the emperor told him that he helped the royal family increase their combat effectiveness and deter the dark world, and Lin Xuanyuan could also borrow the energy of the imperial family to avenge himself, a mutually beneficial thing, and extremely honest and above board, neither he nor the emperor had any other careful thoughts.
"So, Fuxing has been waiting for you to wake up to yourself, no matter how powerful the royal family is, it is not your own after all, and because your status in the royal family is too high now, but you are too young, so it is not suitable to stay in the royal family for a lifetime, so Fuxing has been waiting for you to wake up, and then he will help you fight for what belongs to you, and it can be regarded as leaving a strong ally for the royal family, whether you rebuild the Xuanyuan line, or take over the position of the king president, or both, he will help you, that guy is only fifty years old now, at least a few decades to live, but he has already begun to arrange the aftermath, he has always looked far away, Xuanyuan, If you want to fight for something of your own, from my personal suggestion and the expectation of revival, the position of President Wang, you must follow, if you are on the throne, hehe"
Ye Nianlun lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, his smile extremely complicated.
Lin Xuanyuan naturally knew the meaning behind this string of smiles, the royal family was going to return to the Shenzhou Empire after all, if he broke away from the imperial family and became the guardian of the Shenzhou Empire, then the significance to the imperial family was self-evident.
Not to mention that the royal family is now in full swing, even if there is a plague within the royal family in the future, the bigwigs of the royal family will die, as long as he Lin Xuanyuan is still there, no one in the entire dark world will dare to fight the idea of the royal family, and because of the existence of the royal family, Lin Xuanyuan's position in the empire and the dark world will be absolutely stable.
It's really a long-term close connection.
Dead lips and cold teeth.
And the most desperate thing is Lin Xuanyuan's age.
Twenty-three years old.
Even if he ascends to the throne two years later, he is only twenty-five years old, Lin Xuanyuan, who has obtained the law of balance, is obviously not his peak strength now, he still has an extremely huge room for improvement, it is possible to catch up with the emperor's footsteps, and this time will not be too long.
If Lin Xuanyuan ascended to the throne, then as long as he did not have an accident, then his time as the guardian of the empire would be long enough to make all enemies desperate.
Forty years? Fifty years?
Even if the emperor is gone after a few decades, Lin Xuanyuan, who has caught up with the emperor's footsteps, is an invincible supreme who supports the imperial family, as long as the human race does not have the phenomenon of rapid evolution, then even if there are still people who reach the strength of the emperor in the future, it is impossible to surpass it again, Lin Xuanyuan is still an invincible existence.
As long as Lin Xuanyuan chooses to take the position, then at least in the next few decades, Lin Xuanyuan and the royal family will rely on each other and will maintain an absolute strong and rising momentum.
And if you are unlucky, it doesn't matter if this momentum does not exist after a few decades, because at that time, Lin Xuanyuan's power and the power of the royal family basically have enough foundation, especially the royal family, by the time of nearly a hundred years of development, coupled with the heritage left by the previous royal family, it is enough to completely stabilize the status of the royal family, and as long as the heir of the royal family is not a fool, then the royal family will basically be out of the danger of decline.
"I'm thinking about it, I always feel that I'm different from the emperor. β
Lin Xuanyuan shook his head and said.
Ye Nianlun smiled, and didn't say much, this kind of thing, as long as Lin Xuanyuan is not too resolute in refusing, it means that the final result is very likely to be very optimistic, after all, since the founding of the empire, the two guardians of the empire are from the Kunlun lineage, which is already a good story, Ye Chunqiu, Wang Tianxiong, if Lin Xuanyuan's name is added, it will undoubtedly be more exciting, and Lin Xuanyuan has little room to refuse.
And at present, it seems that if he is not on the throne, the child of the Southwest Lin family is the most promising, even for this reason, Lin Xuanyuan will definitely not be able to make the Southwest Lin family happy.
"Uncle Ye, what do you think of this diary?"
Lin Xuanyuan was silent for a while, and then he didn't think about his question, he looked at the diary in front of Ye Nianlun, and asked thoughtfully.
