Chapter 1310: My Quest - Freedom!
One room, two people.
One of them was Qin Yan, and the other was a middle-aged man with a thin body and a dignified expression, and at this moment he was staring at Qin Yan with a slight frown.
The two didn't speak to each other, the middle-aged man just kept staring at Qin Yan, and Qin Yan stood with a modest smile on his face.
"Why?"
After staring at Qin Yan for several minutes, the man took a long breath: "Obviously, this is a premeditated plan, you don't need to join the war clan at all to ensure your safety, don't you?" β
"The emperor is wrong, he just wants to settle things."
"In order to calm things down, you don't hesitate to join a race that is far weaker than you and be subject to the control of others?"
"Nope."
Qin Yan shook his head and said, "The so-called Tranquility is not aimed at me, but at the War Clan. The Emperor should know very well that if I don't join the War Clan, even if I solve this matter with my strength, the Kordo Clan will not dare to do anything to me, but they will be angry with the War Clan because of this. β
The man's brows furrowed even tighter, and he shook his head in denial: "No matter how reasonable the reason you say, no matter how reasonable it is, it is still unbelievable. β
"Why doesn't the emperor empathize?"
"Oh?"
"What was my plan?"
A wry smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Power? Obviously, with my strength, I can join a stronger empire, and countless civilizations will welcome them with open doors and hands, which the emperor does not deny, right? What else do I covet? Imperial? Sorry, that may be important to you, but it doesn't really make much sense to me. β
"Imperial power doesn't have any attraction to you?" The man asked rhetorically.
"Nope."
Shaking his head without hesitation, Qin Yan said in a deep voice: "I never knew how happy it was to be the king of a country. to be restrained and grovel by the suzerain; , fearing that other powerful races will be opposed; Next, for the sake of such a pitiful offering, while trying to win over more vassal countries, I also have to worry that the current vassal country will break away and switch to the arms of other countries. β
"If imperial power is unattractive, why are so many people rushing to it?"
The emperor didn't agree with Qin Yan's words, more because Qin Yan was not enthusiastic about the imperial power, which made him feel a little hurt in his heart.
What could be more attractive in this world than the supreme imperial power?
"Pursue the difference." Qin Yan smiled.
"I want to hear about it."
"May I ask the emperor, what is the ultimate pursuit in your heart?"
"This ......"
The emperor thought for a moment, not thinking about what his pursuit was, but thinking about whether to tell the truth or a lie, and finally chose to tell the truth.
Because although the other party is nominally his courtier, in fact it is not controlled at all, and even has the power to fight against the entire empire.
This kind of person, if he has any special ideas, it is difficult to stop him, and because of this, it is pointless to say those high-sounding words.
"First, let the imperial power at home and abroad be stable; Second, let the empire be one step stronger, and it can become a ninth-level civilization in his lifetime. β
"That's right."
Qin Yan nodded and chuckled: "In the final analysis, it is still for the imperial power, but the pursuit of lowly positions is not. β
"And what are your pursuits?"
"Freedom."
"Isn't there freedom if you have imperial power?"
"You have to think about so much all day, you need to guard against all forces, is this freedom?"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Yan said loudly: "The freedom I want is that my people can live in peace and security, without being affected by any individual or force. I want the freedom to do as I please, not to grovel, not to be afraid, not to look ahead. β
Looking at him with some surprise, the emperor took a while before he said: "The kind of freedom you want can't exist at all, even if those peak ninth-level civilizations still have to have concerns in all aspects, after all, there is more than one ninth-level civilization at the peak, isn't it?" β
"So, I have little desire for imperial power, and with it comes suffocating restraintsβthen, what conspiracies do I have?"
yes, what other conspiracy does he have?
Coveting the status of the Warclan?
Even the imperial power is a kind of constraint in his opinion, and the status of the war clan is even more meaningless, is it ...... The purpose of joining the War Clan is really just to prevent the War Clan from being angered by the Kordor?
His explanation sounded so plausible that it was hard to believe.
"Emperor, do you know why you can't figure it out?"
"Why?"
"Because the pursuit is different."
Qin Yan shrugged his shoulders and chuckled: "The pursuit of different ideas is naturally different, and the perspective of looking at the problem is also different with different ideas, so it is impossible to figure it out." β
"So...... Leaving this aside for now, I just want to know one question, will you be loyal to the Empire? The emperor looked directly at Qin Yan.
"No, it won't."
"You ......"
"I said that the purpose of my joining is so that the War Clan will not be implicated because of me, that's all."
Qin Yan looked at the emperor without fear, and said in a deep voice: "Except for my own race, I will not be loyal to any other race or country. However, since I have joined the Hank Empire, I will naturally fulfill my responsibilities and obligations as a member of this country. β
Hearing him say this, the emperor's expression finally softened, and he smiled faintly: "Oh? So, talk about what you will and won't do. β
"One will not listen to the proclamation at all times, the second will not grovel, and the third will not be sent at will...... Of course, as a member of the Hank Empire, I will maintain enough respect for the Emperor, both in private and in public. β
After saying what he wouldn't do, Qin Yan continued: "However, if there is an internal **, an invasion of external enemies, a confrontation between strong enemies, or even being bullied by a stronger force, I will do it without hesitation - no matter who the other party is, even if it is a ninth-level civilization, this is also my obligation." β
"That's enough!"
With the position of the two sides, the emperor knew very well that Qin Yan did not need to lie: such a result already made him very satisfied, and he did not think that he had the ability to completely control the other party.
You must know that the power that Qin Yan now has is still a little short of the Hank Empire, which concentrates on martial arts and technology. But the comparison here is the entire Hank Empire, what the emperor can really control is actually the strength of his race, and just the royal race, it is absolutely impossible to compete with Qin Yan.
Of course, no matter whether what Qin Yan said was true or not, he couldn't completely believe it.
The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.
This is just the acquaintance, and the other party's power is so strong, strong enough to subvert the entire empire, how dare he fully trust?
The next thing to do is to continue to observe this fierce general who suddenly joined the empire, you can give him a high status, but it is only a false title, and it is absolutely impossible to give him any substantive power, such as mobilizing the imperial army, such as owning fiefdoms, such as the right to know about confidential matters.
"So ......"
The emperor thought for a moment and said, "How do you think I should deal with this conflict?" What would you do if you were the other person? β
Qin Yan couldn't help but smile and chuckled, "The emperor is planning to throw this question to me, right?" I think it's a good idea to sum. β
"Summation?" The emperor was stunned.
"Of course, the so-called peace is not kneeling and begging for mercy."
Seeing the confusion in his expression, Qin Yan explained: "If I am a weak person, even if I kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, Nas will not be able to let me go. On the contrary, if you have enough strength to be far above the other party, you only need one step...... Hehe, do you need me to beg him? β
Of course not!
I'm afraid, Nas is already scared to pee now, and what he hopes now is not revenge, but the Kordo tribe can not be destroyed.
As long as Qin Yan gave him a small step, he was already very satisfied in his heart.
Hatred?
If Qin Yan can give him some face again, he will feel that it is a great honor: even if the strong beat the weak, if he turns around and throws two jelly beans, the weak will be very happy, how can he remember being beaten?
It's not that they have a bad memory, it's that the weak know that holding grudges doesn't help, and even leads to destruction, but they are more inclined to woo relationships.
Soon, the two walked out of the room, out of the battleship, and walked in front of tens of millions of people.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them, because of Qin Yan's terrifying power, he even asked the emperor to come to meet him in person for a secret meeting.
No one knows what they talked about, but everyone knew very well that the emperor would never tear his face with Qin Yan, but would try his best to get closer.
So, what about the Kordo tribe who are enemies of Qin Yan?
What will happen to you?
Seeing Qin Yan walking towards him, Nas's face turned pale, and he wanted to retreat, but in the end he gritted his teeth and persevered: "You...... What do you want to do......"
"Marshal, I apologize for what happened before."
Qin Yan bowed slightly and said, "If it is possible, I hope we are not enemies, after all, you and I are both courtiers of the empire, and we are both contributing to the empire." A hostile relationship will not benefit us at all, and will only lead to the loss of national strength and the fall of the pillars of the country, you say? β
Ga!
If it was when Qin Yan was in a weak position, Nas would not have listened to these words, but what about when he became a powerful party?
When he takes the initiative to make peace and puts him in the weak, he will be regarded as begging, he will be despised and despised by others, and he will be regarded as wagging his tail and begging for mercy in order to survive. On the contrary, no one will despise him when he does this now, but will respect him and think that he is a person who understands the general situation and the important situation.
Seeing Qin Yan bowing towards him, although the amplitude was very small, he only leaned forward slightly, and he actually felt flattered in his heart.
"This ...... It's ...... "Nas didn't know what to do.
"Your Excellency, Marshal."
Qin Yan's actions surprised everyone, and after a moment of dead silence, Ao Jiao stepped forward: "Perhaps, you should take a look at this." β
He knew that Qin Yan didn't want to expand the matter, so he sued for peace as a strong man, and at this time, Nas needed a step.
Even if Qin Yan is on the absolutely strong side, he can't say a few words, killing so many people, the other party will immediately not blame the past, right?
If Nas really did that, on the one hand, he would not be able to communicate with his people, and on the other hand, he would make the whole tribe laugh at him.
