Chapter 308: What no one does, I'll do!
"What are you two boys talking about, thinking about this and that."
At this moment, another voice came from outside, accompanied by a burst of footsteps.
Immediately, Tiana pushed the door open and walked in.
As soon as Lu Qi saw her, he immediately greeted her with a smile: "Hello aunt." ”
"Auntie is not good."
Tiana glanced at him and asked, "What are you two talking about?" ”
"Talk about sensitive topics," Luqi said. ”
Tiana raised her eyebrows: "How sensitive, I can't listen to it yet?" ”
"Of course my aunt can listen, and there is no better listener than you."
Lu Qi kept a smile and said, "It just so happened that I was going to look for you later, but I didn't expect you to come first." ”
Tiana sighed: "That's because my left eyelid suddenly jumped just now, I thought it must be some unlucky boy coming." ”
Lu Qi was thick-skinned, and immediately said when he heard this: "Doesn't that mean that there is a soul between my aunt and me!" ”
Tiana smiled angrily after all, and then glanced at him again and said, "Don't joke, get down to business, what did you just talk about?" ”
Speaking of this, Lu Qi's face also returned to normal, and he rarely became serious.
To be honest, Tiana rarely saw this kid show this kind of expression, but in the impression, once he had this kind of expression, it meant that he really had something big to do.
Lu Qi spoke up: "Ever since I came back from the Gate of Sorrow last time, I've been wondering, are we Demacia weak? ”
Hearing this, Tiana replied: "Naturally not weak, Demacia is now more than 670 years old, and it is a rare country with a long history in the Land of Runeterra, and its military strength has not been weak since ancient times. Known as the country of steel, it is impregnable, and there are few large-scale war defeats, which have nothing to do with weak words. ”
As the marshal of a country, she is very confident to say this.
It's not that I'm arrogant, it's just that it's a fact in the Land of Runeterra.
You must know that Demacia is located in the west of the Valoran continent, this land is mostly idyllic and mountainous, with mountains, rivers and rich mineral resources, crops and grain are easy to grow, it can be said that it is a very good treasure land.
Occupying such a place, if Demacia didn't have the strength, he would have been licked up by the surroundings at some point.
Lu Qi asked again: "Since it is not weak, then why, within a few years, there are always people who come to the door to provoke." ”
Tiana thought for a moment and said, "The times keep pace with the times, and naturally the strengths and weaknesses of other parties are constantly changing, and there will always be people who feel that they are stronger. ”
"Nope." Lu Qi slowly shook his head and said, "In my opinion, it is because we are not strong enough, so anyone can treat us as soft persimmons that are strong on the outside." “
"Noxus has been committing crimes for many years, starting a war at will, coming and leaving whenever you want. Even the tribe of Freljord came and went at every turn. We are in their free-range vegetable garden, and when they are hungry, they come to pick two vegetables. ”
Tiana listened to Lu Qi's words quietly, and her slightly furrowed brows were not because she felt that there was something wrong with Lu Qi's words, but because she was also thinking.
In fact, it is not that she has not considered these problems mentioned by Lu Qi.
Speaking of which, she actually guessed what Luki was going to do.
"Justice, glory and responsibility are something that every Demacian is proud of. This is also something that Demacia was founded on, however. Blind obedience, little by little corroded by our heels, and then no one will ever dare to take that step again. ”
"I know what you're worried about, and you're afraid that no one will be able to take on this responsibility, no one will be able to carry this mission. Because since ancient times, Demacia has never done this, and because of their noble justice, they are not allowed to do so. Is this really justice? I don't think so, it's just a kind of self-serving! ”
Lu Qi's words were placed outside, and I am afraid that they would cause public anger.
However, at this time, there were only his own people in this huge office, and both Gavin IV and Tiana listened in silence.
"So, what no one does, I'll do."
"What no one dares to carry, I will carry."
"Let the Land of Runeterrity truly know Demacia, and let the name of Demacia resound in every corner of the Land of Runeterra."
"I feel like that's my calling."
In order to say the two lines of these two sentences, Lu Qi specially said a lot of words in front of him, and at this moment he put on a rather riotous posture while speaking, and raised his head at a forty-five degree angle.
I was quite satisfied.
In the future, if you write a history book, you will be engraved in Demacia's textbook, and I think it will be very handsome.
"Second brother! That's great, don't say anything else, big brother supports you! ”
Jiawen IV looked like he had been poured chicken blood, his face turned red, and he slapped the table.
He was young and naturally similar in thought to Luci.
It's just that in comparison, he belongs to the middle, and he has to look forward and tail.
But there is no doubt that the person he supports the most at the moment is still Lu Qi.
Tiana raised her eyes and looked at Gallvin IV, and then drooped again, she naturally had more questions to think about.
Have you figured it out?
She actually wanted to ask.
But I didn't ask.
She naturally knew that Lu Qi had never been the kind of young man who was hot-blooded, hot-headed, and decided what to do with a pat on his head.
Since he was standing here at the moment, he had obviously thought it through when he said such a thing.
Tiana looked at Lu Qi at this moment and said, "Even so, I still want to ask about your true intentions. ”
Lu Qi also looked at her and said bluntly: "My intention is simple and clear, that is, the East Expedition to Noxus!" ”
Tiana was not surprised, her eyes were leisurely, and she said slowly: "Since ancient times, Demacia has never advocated war. There are three reasons, one of which is our bottom line, which is that we never take the initiative to infringe on other countries. ”
"Second, it is the manpower, material and financial resources that are often required to wage a war. It's much more than defending, and if you fail, it will cause irreparable damage. ”
"Third, in the war, the people and soldiers are the most stressed. A sacrifice will only bring the blood and tears of a family, we can provoke a war with a word, but it is they who bear the pressure. ”
"You have thoughts, I used to have them. When I was at my most energetic, or rather, many people like you and me, had thought like this. ”
"Why do we always wait for the enemy to come and fight back? Why can't we take the initiative? Because, once you do that, there's no going back. ”
When she said this, her eyes were very serious, and the light in her eyes flickered slightly, as if she had not made up her mind back then.
She hoped that her words would make Lucky's mind change.
But I don't know why, but I hope that he can persevere.
To put it bluntly, the step she didn't have the courage to take was now about to take this young man.
Before her feet landed, she had mixed feelings.
After hearing this, Lu Qi did not waver, he said slowly: "In my opinion, this is a step that Demacia must take. Right now, it's like we're trapped in ourselves. The ban has been lifted, and it seems that everything is going in a good direction, I can wait, I can wait a little longer, after all, my own ambition is to lie in the yard, eat, drink, and have fun. ”
"But whenever I lie in the rocking chair, there is always a feeling in my heart that something is being lost. I had to think about whether this was the only chance I, Demacia's life, and whether it was or not, we had to take it. ”
When Lu Qi said this, his eyes were full of determination.
Tiana was slightly stunned, his eyes were brighter and firmer than ever.
For Lucky, this was a rare opportunity.
There are dangers in his heart that many people don't know, and his dream is really just to live a leisurely life, to eat when he opens his eyes, to sleep when he is full, to joke with the girls, to have fun, to do something he loves, and that it is good to pass like this for a day.
But it was precisely because of these unapproaching threats that he was like a sword hovering over his head all the time, that he could not feel at ease.
As the saying goes, it's time to be happy, and the happiness of the present is to be enjoyed now.
But Lu Qi obviously has so many good years to be happy in the future, does he have to wait for the catastrophe to come and regret it too late?
Naturally, he didn't want that.
So, Demacia must become stronger.
It is so strong that everyone dare not provoke it, and it is so strong that if the enemy comes one day, it will at least have the power to fight.
"So, we have to take the initiative!"
"One punch opens, lest a hundred punches come!"
When his words fell, Jiawen IV on the side only felt that all the blood was flowing in his bones, and he couldn't wait to applaud.
That's great!
One punch is opened, lest a hundred blows come
Tiana was stunned again, maybe like this kid said.
It was a road that Demacia had to pass, and even if there were thorns in the road, they had to walk it.
After half a ring, she suddenly smiled in relief, wondering why she had become so entangled.
"I don't know why, I'm not surprised at all that your kid stood in front of me today and said these words."
She shook her head and smiled, and said, "Then let it go, I said, no matter what decision you kid wants to make, I will support it behind you." ”
After saying that, Tiana suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in her heart.
It turned out that unconsciously, there were many things in Demacia that she didn't need to worry about.
She looked at Lu Qi's young face and couldn't help but think of her young self.
She has witnessed too much bloodshed and sacrifice and tears all the way on the battlefield, so when the same problem is in front of her.
She chose to do the same thing as her ancestors.
Doesn't Luch know any of this?
He knows.
Even better than everyone else, but because of this, he knows better what the right path is.
Maybe Demacia needs someone like him to change.
On second thought, it seems that Demacia has changed a lot because of him.
Tiana agrees with Luci's decision.
Needless to say, Gavin IV gave full support to Luch's decision.
So the three of them set off together and went to the bedroom of Jiawen III.
At this time, Jiawen III was admiring the flowers in the back garden, and he had recently abandoned his government affairs to Jiawen IV, but he lived a leisurely life like Luqi.
And when he learned about the intention of the three of them, he couldn't help but be stunned.
But he quickly came back to his senses and replied: "Since it's decided, let's do it." ”
His tone was calm, as if he had expected it.
He didn't even say much, and directly agreed with Lu Qi's decision.
If it were him, he wouldn't have done that, because like Lucci said, he was trapped by himself.
The questions he had thought about when he was young now have the answers set and will not be changed.
So he won't stop Lu Qi, but decided to let him do it, and even give him the greatest support.
He believed that the child would not let him down.
Since this is the case, it is natural that there is not much to support.
Soon, from the palace, instructions for the convening of the meeting were conveyed to various places.
Since that meeting, the time for meetings has been changed to every few days.
Now that a meeting is suddenly held, it means that there may be something big to say.
So, the ministers were quick to arrive.
Inside the conference hall.
On the octagonal table, several ministers have all taken their seats.
Tiana, Lev, Barrett, Winward, Giovanni, Sebastian, Carral, Frey.
Eight people, each seated in one seat, represented the supremacy of the meeting.
King Gavin III sat on the throne, while other ministers stood elsewhere in the chamber.
Seeing that everyone was almost there, he cleared his throat.
The room quickly fell silent.
Jiawen III looked around the audience and said loudly: "There is only one content of this meeting. Not for me, though. ”
When he had finished speaking, he said no more.
Lu Qi, who was standing behind him, knew that it was time for him to appear, so he took a step forward and looked at the table full of acquaintances and smiled: "I convened this meeting." ”
The ministers present did not say much, and Lu Qi naturally had the qualifications to convene the meeting.
It's just that his next words still caused a lot of shock.
"The reason for this meeting is that I intend to send troops to attack Noxus."
After Lu Qi said a simple sentence, the surroundings were stunned for a moment, and suddenly boiled.
"What?"
"Attack Noxus?"
"Did I hear me right?"
The ministers were talking for a while.
And on the octagonal table, there are also a few surprised faces.
Including acquaintances, Barrett, Sebastian, Lev, they were all surprised.
Wenward, on the other hand, had an expected expression, in fact, he had guessed that Luqi had such an idea a long time ago.
And today, guessing that he is ready to start acting.
As for Frey, of course, the same reason is the same.
Sending troops to attack Noxus, the later Noxus can be omitted, and it can be directly understood as taking the initiative to send troops to attack.
You know, throughout the history of Demacia, no one has ever done anything like this.
Naturally, this caused a shock.
In fact, there have been people in history who have put forward similar ideas, but the target is not Noxus, but the surrounding small countries and the sea.
However, in the end, none of these proposals were implemented.
Because Demacia's bottom line is to never take the initiative to invade other countries.
Now, however, Luch once again wants to break the mold.
