179 Be open and honest
179 Open June 24
When he heard that Qingshan had changed from a subordinate to a junior, Qingcheng's face also stiffened in an instant, but he still spoke: "In the territory of the Lanqi Empire, as long as the royal family wants to know, no one can hide it. ”
It is certain that once Qingcheng makes a move, Qingshan will never stand still.
However, Qing Cheng didn't care about Qingshan's reaction, and still said to himself: "The old man just wants to ask you, why would you rather give Yinpeng and You Fang these sharp weapons that are enough to change the pattern of the war, but they don't say a word to us or even your master." ”
"You and I are both soldiers, and there are many times when you are a soldier, and many things are involuntary, and you should know this better than your juniors." Qingshan said: "Ask yourself, if you knew that the juniors had such a weapon of war in their hands, how would you deal with the juniors, and You Fang Yinpeng and the others who had mastered this secret, how would you deal with them." ”
Qingcheng didn't seem to feel the slightest surprise at Qingshan's answer, and even nodded with emotion: "It seems that you are not a simple soldier, at least the way you ask questions is more sophisticated and thoughtful than many young people now." Speaking of this, Qingcheng said meaningfully: "Indeed, as you expected, if you learn this information at the beginning, the military high-level will do whatever it takes to seize this magical weapon in order to keep it absolutely secret and control, and after that, all knowledge will be wiped out." ”
"So the younger generation's response is also out of self-preservation." Aoyama smiled bitterly.
"We did think this at this time, at that time, but this is a thought in the past." Qingcheng said: "Now you are not only Qing Ming's apprentice, but you may even become the future generation of Sword Saints of my Lanqi Empire, it can be said that we have given you the fullest trust now, I think you should be able to see this." ”
"If I let the master say this, I may believe it." Aoyama said in a deep voice.
"I can't imagine how young you are. But the eyes of people are so sharp. "Qingcheng Road.
In fact, many times Qing Ming looks like a ruthless soldier, but more often than not, he is a lover, but his care and love for Qingshan is not fake at all, although Qingshan is young, but this bit of vision is still there.
As for Qingcheng, in Qingshan's eyes, he definitely belongs to that kind of typical soldier, everything is in the interests of the country, as long as there is a need, he can not hesitate to wipe out any opponent, even relatives and friends.
In the eyes of this kind of person, there is only a position between friend and foe, and there is no so-called family affection and friendship.
Therefore, for this old man who seems to be generous, Qingshan has always been very jealous.
"So what should the old man do in exchange for your trust and support." Qingcheng Road.
"Actually, you can rob Yin Peng and You Fang of the thousands of miles of transmission, and then kill all the insiders, including me, so why bother to tell me this." Aoyama said in a deep voice.
"If the old man said an idea, the old man never thought about it, you must not believe it." Qingcheng Road.
Qingshan was noncommittal, still looking at Qingcheng calmly.
"Indeed, as you say, this is the most direct and effective way to do it." Qingcheng said: "But this method can only work for ordinary people, and you are different." ”
"What's different about the younger generations?" Aoyama said curiously.
"If you represent only yourself, the old man can naturally have no scruples." Qingcheng said: "But the real problem lies in the Huaxia Continent behind you, although we have never been in contact with it, or even heard of it, but it is not difficult to imagine from you what a powerful country this is, a young warrior who is less than twenty years old can cross the sea, and even the Dead Sea cannot be blocked, it can be seen how powerful the Huaxia Empire behind you is, at least its navigation ability is not comparable to any country in the Wanluo Continent."
There is another thing that the old man is also very concerned about, and that is that in the last Demon Pattern Rain, you seem to be sure enough to destroy the predator alone! Otherwise, with your knowledge of predators, you won't be able to take the risk of appearing in front of predators! Saying this, Qingcheng looked at Qingshan with great meaning: "The old man guessed right." ”
“。。。。。” Qingshan was a little stunned.
He didn't expect that even with a little detail, Qingcheng could analyze it from the clues.
"Maybe you didn't realize that you mentioned later that as long as five warriors combined in your continent, you can easily kill a predator, so the old man analyzes that there are at least five masters behind you who are no less than the Bronze Sword Saint level as your backup, and your real task is to be responsible for reconnaissance and issue orders for action." Qingcheng said: "I don't know if the old man's guess is correct." ”
“。。。。。。。” Qingshan was stunned, not that Qingcheng's guess was correct, but he never thought that Qingcheng analyzed his strongest trump card based on this information, not the so-called backup force, but the more terrifying, and also the most impractical armed satellite.
However, this matter Qingshan naturally can't say anything about it anyway.
Qingcheng has been thinking to himself for a long time and said: "There is another thing that the old man is quite concerned about, that is, after killing the predator, you even want to use the predator as the meat of the wildfire festival, it can be seen that killing predators is very common in you, and eating their meat is also commonplace in you, based on this, it can be analyzed that the number of martial artists in your continent should be very large, and they are all very powerful, and they are not even the sword saints here who are not pressed by us, right." And behind you, there is a good chance that there are some such powerful warriors, and the number should range from five to ten. ”
Qingshan never thought that he would unknowingly miss so many horses' feet.
Although Qingcheng's guess is a little different, the general direction is completely correct.
It seemed that he had seen through Qingshan's thoughts, and Qingcheng continued
"Last time, the reason why you didn't act alone should have been because you happened to notice that Bai Min, Bai Hezheng and others were fighting with the predators, so you took advantage of the situation to lead us to the battlefield!" Qingcheng said: "The old man guessed correctly. ”
Qingshan nodded subconsciously!
"Then I wondered why you were leading us to the predators." Qingcheng said: "After that, the old man analyzed from the matter of your apprenticeship with Qing Ming and the various signs since then, you should want to see how strong my Lanqi Continent, or the Sword Saint of my Wanluo World is, so I deliberately arranged such a play, and the old man guessed correctly." ”
“。。。。” Qingshan couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only look at Qingcheng blankly.
"After that, you worshipped Qing Ming as a teacher, which shows that you are really interested in the martial arts of my Wanluo Continent, which is why you not only worshipped Qing Ming as a teacher, but even took the initiative to join the military, the ultimate goal should be to become a sword saint through cultivation and master the power of the sword saint, right?" Qingcheng said as he looked at Qingshan's uncertain eyes: "Although the old man doesn't know why you are doing this, but since you have done this, I believe that learning the martial arts of the Wanluo World and becoming a sword master should be your top priority at present, and this task is likely to be an important order from the boss behind you." ”
"The Commander's eyes are like torches, and he can't hide anything from you." Aoyama couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
It can be said that Qingcheng's analysis is almost entirely correct.
And his only omission was that Qingshan was not ordered to come to the Wanluo Continent at all, but came to this continent by complete accident.
So there is no so-called Huaxia Empire behind him, and he is completely a bare-bones commander.
"Having said a lot, now you should understand that the old man will never hurt you, because you represent not just you, but a distant but very powerful Chinese empire, it is not a wise move to risk offending a powerful country for the sake of small profits, although he is indeed very far away, but since you can send you and the warriors behind you here, it means that you have enough navigation ability." Qingcheng continued: "Although I don't think you have enough ability to launch an ocean-going battle, if there are a few more Sword Saint level masters to fight against us in the Lanqi Continent, I believe it will be a headache. ”
"Well, you have a point." Qingshan smiled bitterly: "I admit that you have convinced me, at least it is certain that you do not want or dare not take my life easily." ”
"In that case, shouldn't we have a good talk?" Qingcheng Road.
"Have a good talk?" Aoyama muttered.
"Not bad." Qingcheng said with a solemn expression: "It's not between superiors and subordinates, it's not between friends and friends, it's a dialogue between countries, or more appropriately, a dialogue between allies." ”
“。。。。。。。” Qingshan looked at Qingcheng silently, and the nerves in his mind were running fast at an unprecedented speed.
How can we continue this topic, and how can we get the most out of this negotiation?
In an instant, all kinds of thoughts flashed in Qingshan's mind.
But before that, he has one more question that he must confirm.
"As you wish." Qingshan looked at Qingcheng with a solemn expression: "Since you have reached this level, there is indeed nothing to hide, but what I want to know is that what you can represent is the high-level will of the entire Lanqi Empire, or the will of you personally or a small number of forces." ”
“。。。。” Qingcheng was a little stunned, he didn't expect Qingshan to point out the most critical question so quickly, and he didn't know how to answer Qingshan for a while.
This made Qingshan see some signs.
"It seems that the Grand Commander does not represent the will of the entire Ranchi Empire." Qingshan said indifferently.
"I can't hide anything from you." Qingcheng said a little helplessly: "What I said to you just now is actually just the speculation of the old man and Qianyu, and the decision made does not represent the will of the entire Lanqi Empire. ”
In fact, Qingcheng was indeed very embarrassed, as he continued to investigate deeply, the more he felt the strength hidden behind Qingshan, the more he was afraid of Qingshan and the forces he represented, or afraid.
Several times, he couldn't help but want to report the results of the investigation to the upper echelons of the royal family for final judgment.
However, with Qingcheng's sophistication and his understanding of the royal family, he knew very well what the consequences would be if this information and information were known to the high-level members of the royal family.
There are too many interests involved, too many, and with the hollow-eyed and arrogant style of the Ranch Empire's royal family, they may not believe at all, or be unwilling to accept that there is an empire far to the east, which is too powerful for them to provoke.
It is even possible that some unnecessary hostility will be erected because of this to deal with Qingshan or the Huaxia Empire.
No matter what time and space, that historical dynasty, human beings always have curiosity and fear of the unknown civilization and things.
And the ultimate result of these two things is war.
Therefore, Qingcheng is sure that once this information is reported, then the royal family is likely to take some extreme measures, and the most likely is to kill Yinpeng and You Fang and others as Qingshan said before, and then seize Qianli Chuanyin.
Gain absolute confidentiality.
But such a result is by no means what Qingcheng wants to see.
So this information has not been reported to the top of the royal family until now.
And the reason why he wanted to have a showdown with Qingshan in advance was to find out Qingshan's attitude, at least he could use this conversation to convey his thoughts to Qingshan, and Qingshan was wary or hostile.
After that, it's only one step at a time.
"I don't think you have reported the information about me to the upper echelons of the Empire." Castle Peak Road.
"That's true." Qingcheng nodded.
"That's good." Qingshan said: "Actually, we don't want to alarm too much and cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Speaking of this, Qingshan said with a solemn expression: "When I set off to come to Wanluo Continent, the order I got was to kill all the escaped Rams so that Ram's mass reproduction would bring devastating consequences to this world, and in addition to that, we should try to keep it secret, and not have too much to do with other countries and civilizations, because we don't want too many people in Wanluo Continent to know about the existence of the Huaxia Empire, so as not to bring more suspicion and uneasiness to Wanluo Continent." Speaking of this, Qingshan's expression became extremely solemn: "You should know very well that human beings are very curious and warlike creatures, and the reason why we act this way is not because we are afraid that the Wanluo Empire will find out about our existence and launch an invasion, but to avoid the appearance of war to the greatest extent, of course, this is not that we are afraid of the Wanluo Continent, on the contrary, it is to protect the Wanluo Continent from harm." ”
“。。。。。。” Qingshan's words made Qingcheng's face blue for a while, and Bai didn't know what to say for a while, he was somewhat resistant to Qingshan's words, because from Qingshan's words, Qingcheng could deeply feel a kind of pity and disdain for the weak from the strong, and this feeling was undoubtedly an insult to a soldier loyal to the empire.
However, Qingcheng clearly knew that Qingshan's words were by no means untargeted, or bluffing, although he didn't know how strong the power behind Qingshan was, but he knew it slightly, just think about Qingshan's various incredible abilities and amazing learning talents.
If you think about Aoyama's age, it is not difficult to think about the strength behind Aoyama.
So even if Qingshan's words sounded very uncomfortable, Qingcheng still didn't have a seizure on the spot.
