97. Armament War (9 ends)
The two chatted for a while, and Zhao Tieyun suddenly said: "Nicholas, what do you think of religious beliefs?" Nicholas was shocked in his heart, and his heart called the drama meat, Zhao Tieyun called him from the Slaughtering Tiger River to the Killing Tiger River from a million light years away, naturally not to chat, but to have important things, and now I am afraid that this is Zhao Tieyun's real purpose. "As for religious beliefs, to be honest, I don't know, in the past, I was the most faithful believer in the God of Light, but today, I no longer believe in Him. ”
Seeing Zhao Tieyun staring at him, Nicholas felt a little panicked in his heart, although he had no contact with this prime minister, but he knew the power of this prime minister, and he could command trillions of tribes instead of the patriarch of the Yanhuang clan, and this power was rare. "I think you are telling the truth, Nicholas, and in a little while you will become a god, and the god of light is not worth believing in. ”
Nicholas smiled bitterly in his heart, but did not dare to say anything more. "Nicholas, how does my Yanhuang Clan treat you to the Empire of Light? I want to hear you say something sincere. "Yes, my Bright Empire now says that the nobles are good. "I hope so, but people's hearts are separated from each other, no one knows what the other party is thinking, no matter how good we are to people, but people don't appreciate it, we can't do anything about it." ”
Cold sweat, Nicholas only felt that his cold sweat came out, and he didn't think it was a good thing to say it. "Prime Minister, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, and the whole of my Bright Empire will definitely serve you. "It's better to be loyal, because there's no harm in being loyal.
Zhao Tieyun smiled and said: "I didn't invite you to come this time because I had any task to hand over to you, but I had a big trouble to tell you, but this matter is related to the life and death of your country, so I have to be cautious." ”
Although Zhao Tieyun said this with a smile, Nicholas felt that it was with Sensen's killing intent, and a cool breath was really cold from his back to his waist, and his whole body felt stiff, "Please make it clear to the prime minister, if we make any mistakes, the prime minister does not need to do anything, I will definitely offer their heads to apologize." ”
Zhao Tieyun sighed and said, "No, you haven't made any mistakes, it's just that you are very likely to make mistakes in the future, I just gave you a warning in advance." "Future?" "Yes, the future." My Yanhuang clan itself is short of troops, a slaughtering tiger river system has not been completely occupied, there are countless things waiting for me to deal with, but I sent the thirteenth brother to lead the troops to the Agni River system, I brought people to kill the tiger river system, I did this because we are going to fight, and we are facing a stronger opponent than the Heavenly Tiger Empire, and they are still the old enemies of my Yanhuang clan, we can only fight to the death, so I have to give you a preventive shot. ”
Nicholas asked a little puzzled: "Prime Minister, since there is going to be a war, then of course my Empire of Light wants people to come out and ask for money, what's the problem with this?" "There is really a problem, because, like your Empire of Light, our enemies all believe in the God of Light, no, strictly speaking, the God of Light you believe in is just a small soldier among the gods they believe in." ”
Nicholas fully understands that this is indeed a big problem, if there are still people in the Empire of Light who are looking to the God of Light and providing intelligence to the enemy in private, the Yanhuang Clan will definitely be in big trouble, it can be said that the Empire of Light is a time bomb within the Yanhuang Clan, maybe when it will explode. Since it is the old enemy of the Yanhuang Clan, and its strength is stronger than that of the Heavenly Tiger Empire, it must be very difficult to deal with, there is a strong enemy in the front, and there are hidden dangers inside, in order to be able to concentrate on the enemy, it is necessary for the Yanhuang Clan to clear the internal hidden dangers.
How to clear this hidden danger, Nicholas's heart is completely cold, there is no better way to deal with it than the dead, if it is him, there is only one answer, cleansing, extermination, and the complete extinction of the Empire of Light. For the sake of their own race's survival, what is a small subordinate race? With the current strength of the Yanhuang Clan, it is not very difficult to destroy the Bright Empire, although it is not a matter of rebellion.
"The enemy is very strong, really strong, their strength is far above our army, if they know the current situation of my Yanhuang clan, they will definitely press it with all their strength and wipe out our army, my Yanhuang clan can be said to be the real weakest time now, so, for the safety of my Yanhuang clan, I have to make the fastest plan. Let's put it this way, as long as one person in your Bright Empire informs the enemy of the existence of my Yanhuang Clan, then my Yanhuang Clan is threatened with extinction on the spot. Zhao Tieyun didn't hide it anymore, and said it bluntly.
It took Nicholas a long time to settle down and ask: "What does the Prime Minister plan to do with the tens of trillions of people in my Bright Empire?" "I am also thinking about this issue, for the sake of the safety of my Yanhuang Clan, I should lock up and down your Bright Empire, or simply destroy it." It's just that we really can't do this kind of thing, so I leave this decision in your hands. Nicholas, I'll give you a chance to decide. "Please make it clear to the Prime Minister. ”
Zhao Tieyun said: "If you are willing to go with my Yanhuang clan and do not hesitate to be the enemy of the gods you believed in in the past, then you are our true friends, and we attach importance to our friends. If you don't want to be enemies of the gods of the past, then I will send someone to move you away, to a distant place, so that you don't leak the news, and I have to make this choice. Forgive me, Nicholas, I don't want to do this, it's just that I have countless lives and deaths on my shoulders, and I can only do this. Don't force me, I don't want to raise a murderous knife against you. ”
Understand, Nicholas understands very well, he is also a person in a high position, holding great power, bearing the life and death of hundreds of trillions of people in the Bright Empire, for the survival of his own race, what can't he do? Zhao Tieyun can give such conditions is already very good, what else do you want?
Nicholas said: "Prime Minister, the stakes are very high, and this is not something that I can decide in a moment, and I will think about it carefully when I go back, and then discuss it with others before making a decision." "It's okay, anyway, I've just reminded you now, Nicholas, we Yanhuang are friends with you, and I hope you won't disappoint your friends. "That's, the question is to the face, of course we have to carry it. ”
After finishing the business, the two chatted for a while, and Nicholas suddenly asked: "Prime Minister, I have a very strange question I would like to ask." "Please. "Among the races I have come into contact with, no matter which race, there are more or less a group of fanatical religious believers, they are very fanatical about religion, and they are desperate for the gods they believe in, including my Bright Empire, there are also such a group of fanatics, but I didn't realize that there is such a group among the nobles, is there no religious belief among the nobles?"
Zhao Tieyun thought for a while and said: "It's not, my Yanhuang tribe also has religious beliefs, it's just that we rarely have fanatical believers, or our religious beliefs are not big, or we are multi-religious, just as we have Taoism, Buddhism, etc., and even we have Confucianism, these can be regarded as religions, but no matter what religion our beliefs are limited, it's not crazy worship." ”
Nicholas asked: "I have also learned about this phenomenon, the religious beliefs of the nobles are very peculiar, some of the nobles have long believed in religion, and the regulations of various religions are also strictly enforced, and from their daily performance, they are also considered devout believers, but when the overall interests of religion and the nobility conflict, you always stand on the side of racial interests, not on the side of religion, what is the reason for this? ”
Zhao Tieyun smiled and said: "The so-called religion is nothing more than the worship of unknown mysterious phenomena or strong people by human beings, for unknown phenomena, the purpose of our Yanhuang clan is to respect but not kiss, and strive to explore the secrets, when the mysterious phenomenon is no longer mysterious, naturally will not believe in it." As for the worship of the strong, for example, the God of Light worshipped by your Empire of Light belongs to this category. I think that the reason why my Yanhuang clan does not believe in strong people is that my Yanhuang clan has a good patriarch. ”
Nicholas asked, "Is it the Han patriarch?" "No, it's my fourth-generation patriarch of the Yanhuang clan." Patriarch Lao Tzu is a saint, one of the people who stand at the pinnacle of the universe, and he said a word that makes us not believe in the strong. "Please also ask the Prime Minister to teach. "The avenue is endless. "The avenue is endless?" "Yes, the avenue is endless." ”
Seeing Nicholas's unknown appearance, Zhao Tieyun explained with a smile: "The reason why the strong become strong is that they have mastered a strong force, but how strong the inheritance of my Yanhuang clan is, the strong power is not enough to sustain it. Because, the avenue is endless, no matter how strong the strong is not the strongest, even if it is a saint, even if it is the ancestor of our clan, Pangu ancestor, they are now extremely powerful, but the road of the strong has no apex, today you are a strong man, it does not mean that you will still be strong in the future, as long as you work hard, we also have the opportunity to become a strong man, as long as we work hard, we can even surpass them and become a stronger than them. Of course, the theory says so, and whether it can be done in practice is another matter, but it is precisely with such a concept and goal that we do not worship the strong. ”
Nicholas realized: "That's right, because I have the possibility of surpassing you, so I will only admire and respect you, but I will not worship you, let alone be your slave." The patriarch of the nobleman is really a pedantic celestial, and just one sentence makes the nobleman a real strong family, which is amazing. ”
Zhao Tieyun smiled and said: "People, the most valuable thing is to have a heart that does not admit defeat, even if it is a strong person, there is also a heart of transcendence, we respect the strong, admire the strong, but do not worship the strong, we believe that as long as we work hard, we will also become strong one day, or, we do not reach our ideal day, or we will not grow into a strong day, but our heart is proud, but it is the heart of the strong, and the heart of the strong will not always be subordinated to others." ”
Zhao Tieyun smiled again and said: "There was a person in my clan who didn't even know how many words, and a person who was born as a slave once said a sentence called 'The emperor will be the prime minister, would you rather have a kind of?' Later generations simplified this sentence into two lines of poetry: 'There will be no kind of phase, and men should be self-reliant.'" It means that whether it is an emperor or a general, it is not born, but learned, so as long as there is an opportunity, everyone has the opportunity to become an emperor and general. As long as we have the heart of self-improvement, as long as we don't give up, as long as we are willing to work hard, we will be able to succeed, and my Yanhuang clan will definitely be able to stand on the top of hundreds of millions of races and become an existence that others need to look up to. ”
"People are valuable and self-reliant, and it is a wise saying. Nicholas agreed.
