"Lord Marquis, I have always admired you, and I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you before." The officer's face was flushed, his mood was obviously very nervous, and he looked helpless when he stood in front of Qin Yan.

"Sit down."

Qin Yan sat on the sofa in the living room of the battleship, and smiled at the officer who was obviously the master, but stood there with a nervous face: "Don't be so nervous, just do it, you are the master here, how can there be a reason for the host to stand and the guests sit?" Sit down. ”

"Yes!"

The officer gave a military salute and sat down in a proper manner.

No matter where Qin Yan has gone all these years, whether his identity in the Imperial Military Department has been eliminated or not, but at least the empire has not announced anything to the outside world, so he still regards Qin Yan as a high-level of the empire, and in front of the five-star generals of the empire, he does not dare to make a mistake as a small lieutenant.

"All these years...... Nothing happened to the Empire, right? Qin Yan personally poured a glass of wine for the lieutenant.

"Lord Marquis, don't dare to ...... your humble position"

Seeing Qin Yan personally pour the wine for him, the lieutenant was even more hurried, and was about to stand up but was motioned by Qin Yan to sit down, he said respectfully this time: "Soon after you left, Emperor Caesar suddenly passed the throne to a prince who was not the core of the royal family at that time, that is, the current emperor. Then, the royal family and several races gathered and left, and it was rumored that they had offended someone, but the exact situation was not clear. ”

"Oh? And what about later? Qin Yan hurriedly asked.

"Then the fleet of the kamikaze empire suddenly appeared, and the whole empire was in chaos at that time, thinking that it would be attacked, and then somehow it was hastily done."

"The Empire has nothing to lose, does it?"

"Nope."

The officer shook his head and said, "Lord Marquis, you were a prominent figure in the empire back then, and you were the idol of us young officers, why did you suddenly ...... You shouldn't ask too much, but now that you're back, the Emperor will definitely use you again. ”

Of course, it was impossible for Qin Yan to stay in the Tianqin Empire anymore, but he didn't say much, after all, there was no need to tell a low-level officer about this kind of thing.

As for the current emperor to keep it at that time, just find an excuse to refuse politely.

In the ensuing small talk, time passed little by little.

Although the territory of the Tianqin Empire is far less huge than that of the Tianquan Empire, as a seventh-level civilization, the technology is also much worse, so the imperial capital said that it would send people to greet it, and it was not possible to arrive in a moment and a half, not to mention that this is the edge of the Tianqin Empire, and there is still a short distance from the imperial capital.

Suddenly!

Half a day later, just as Qin Yan was calculating that the time was almost up, and the people from the imperial capital should be almost there, a soldier hurriedly ran in.

The soldier looked flustered, and when he ran in, he looked at Qin Yan from time to time, and quickly walked to the captain's side, lowering his voice and not knowing what he was saying.

"What?!"

Hearing the soldier's words, the lieutenant was shocked and shouted angrily: "How can it be...... What kind of spy is the Marquis? Didn't the previous emperor make it clear? It is ...... to send a large army to surround us. Lord Marquis! Oh no, the imperial capital sent a large army, and the outside is full of fleets, you ......"

"They say I'm a spy?" Qin Yan had a strange expression.

"Lord Marquis! Is it absolutely convincing to you that you have brought less benefit to the Empire? Humble ...... Let's go out and make it clear to them! ”

"No need."

Qin Yan waved his hand and chuckled: "Is it just an excuse for spies, you don't want to get involved, their target is me." ”

With that, he walked straight out of the battleship, and the lieutenant was about to stop his impulsive behavior, but was stopped by the soldier.

There is one galaxy in the territory of the Lyra Empire, there are tens of billions of star systems in the galaxy, and there are tens of billions of wormholes, even if the vast majority of star systems have no value, and the worthless star systems have no garrisons, but even if only one-tenth of the star system wormholes have garrisons, it is an extremely large number, so except for a very few special star systems, the vast majority of wormholes have very few garrisons.

Originally, this wormhole only had a few thousand garrisons and a few ordinary warships, but at this moment, this void was filled with tens of thousands of warships.

In the midst of this dense fleet was an even more astonishing number of troops.

None of them knew.

When Qin Yan walked out and saw the people in the lead, his heart became relaxed: he didn't want to become an enemy with someone he knew before.

Of course, those who knew him and had a close relationship with him had run out in the early years.

"Qin Yan!"

The leader was a middle-aged man in his forties, and when he saw Qin Yan coming out of the battleship stationed in the wormhole, he shouted loudly: "You traitor to the empire, don't you just be arrested?" ”

"You are the current Emperor of the Lyra Empire?" Qin Yan tilted his head and asked.

"Exactly!"

"I really don't understand......"

Qin Yan's brows furrowed, and he said: "The Divine Wind Empire wanted to kill me back then, and the Heavenly Lyre Empire naturally wanted to clear up the matter, but now that the Divine Wind Empire is gone, why do you want to deal with me?" I don't seem like a threat to you, do I? Or is there something I don't know about that is in your way? ”

He really couldn't figure it out.

He thought that the top brass of the empire would welcome him very much, and even kept him to serve the empire again, but he never expected that what was waiting for him would be a military encounter.

"You are an undercover spy sent by another country to your own country, don't you think it's ridiculous to say this?" That Qin Yan had never seen any current emperor who didn't know what his name was, and shouted loudly with a cold face.

"Hmm......"

Qin Yan took a deep breath, his gaze swept over the large group of people, and suddenly frowned: "All of them are from the Tianqin clan, they should be the clan army of the royal family, hehe...... Otherwise, you tell me why first, at least let me die to understand, it shouldn't be difficult, right? ”

"No more nonsense! Surrender now, or ......"

Sneer......

Just before the emperor finished speaking, the wormhole not far away suddenly flickered, and a large area of blue electric patterns appeared, and then I saw one after another warships jumping out.

What's the situation?

Qin Yan couldn't figure out what was going on, and it could be seen from the emperor's expression that the appearance of this fleet was unexpected.

The hatches of tens of thousands of battleships opened one after another, and a large number of people rushed out, and those people led by Qin Yan still didn't know each other, all of them were very unfamiliar faces. However, from the appearance of these people, Qin Yan could tell that they came from the most powerful races in the Tianqin Empire.

"Emperor!"

One of the old men from the Tallok family said in a deep voice: "I heard that the emperor claimed that the Marquis of Qin Yan was a spy, so I specially came here to explain it clearly. ”

"It's a fact and doesn't need any explanation!" The emperor said in a deep voice.

"His Majesty the former emperor Caesar has long rehabilitated the Marquis of Qin Yan, and even now, in the military department and official databases of the empire, Qin Yan's marquis title and general rank have not been removed, and I want to know why Qin Yan has to fight against the emperor as soon as he returns."

"Aren't the patriarchs my enemies?" Qin Yan asked suddenly.

"Of course not!"

The old man from the Tulloch family, who is now obviously the patriarch of the Tulloch family, said in a deep voice, "Although I am not familiar with Your Excellency, I was also a subordinate of the former patriarch, Lord Gengdis. I only know that Marquis Qin Yan has made countless meritorious contributions to the empire and is a hero of the empire...... Emperor, I really don't understand why you have to think that Marquis Qin Yan is a spy and a traitor! ”

"I want to ...... I kind of get it......"

Qin Yan showed a smile, stared at the current emperor of Tianqin, and chuckled: "I am not just a marquis and a general, nor am I just the head of the Qin family. I am also the heir in line to the throne of the Lyra Empire, the husband of Princess Winona61 St. 61 Joronyas, the son-in-law and good helper of His Majesty Caesar, the former emperor, I have a very good relationship with Uncle Alder, the prince of real power, I am a good brother to Eyler, the heir to the throne of His Royal Highness, and I have established a very good relationship with the top races in the empire - even if these old friends are gone, some things have not changed, haven't they? ”

"You're just an imperial traitor!" The current emperor's face was cold.

"What about you?"

Pointing at the emperor with a smile, Qin Yan shook his head and sighed: "You are just the heir temporarily found by His Majesty, and the core of the royal family at the beginning all left with Emperor Caesar, otherwise it will not be your turn to be the emperor at all, who has no power and power, just a prince, and does not even have the qualifications of the heir." Now that I'm back, I have a lot of orthodox relationships, and I still have a lot of loyal fans and admirers in the Empire...... So, if I raise my arms and shout, or if I have the intention to touch the imperial power, you are not sure that you will win against me, right? ”

"You ......" the current emperor's face changed drastically.

"Emperor, is what Marquis Qin Yan said true?" A high-ranking patriarch asked in a deep voice.

"Emperor, you can't do this!"

"Marquis Qin Yan is not only a hero of the empire, but also a member of the royal family with his relationship with the previous royal family!"

"Shut up!"

The emperor's face turned pale, and he shouted in a deep voice: "The previous emperor didn't find out the truth, so he trusted a spy indiscriminately, this emperor has found out his identity, I will kill this person today!" ”

"Emperor's ......"

"What? Didn't you say he was royal? I handle the internal affairs of the royal family, can you also interfere with the patriarchs? ”

He deliberately bit the word 'patriarch' very hard, which is nothing more than to tell the patriarchs of these clans a fact: This is the internal affairs of the royal family and the royal family, you are people of other races, and according to the rules, you are not qualified to meddle in the internal affairs of other races, otherwise you will break the rules.

What to do?

The patriarchs immediately looked at each other: Qin Yan took Princess Winona, so he was naturally a member of the royal family, and if the current emperor wanted to talk about it for this reason, they really couldn't intervene.

Regardless of whether it is the royal family or not, as long as it is not the same race, they only have the right to suggest and have no right to interfere, and in order to oppose the royal family for one person, it is a very unwise choice from the perspective of personal, racial, and imperial interests, so those patriarchs chose to remain silent.

"For you, it seems that you don't need to ask anymore."

Qin Yan glanced at the emperor, his gaze swept to the millions of Tianqin clan troops standing behind him, and shouted: "Back then, I joined the Tianqin Empire and joined the Tianqin army, not to mention how many things I did for the empire, but many of my best friends and respected elders are from the Tianqin clan, including the woman I love deeply, and she is also the princess of the Tianqin clan—I am not a member of the Tianqin clan, but I regard the Tianqin clan as my own clan. I just want to ask you, are you going to kill me too? I don't need you to stand with me, I just need to express your inner thoughts, and tell me with your eyes whether you really want to kill me, or if you are forced to do so by order, because ...... I don't want to be your enemy! ”
