Chapter 309 I will do what no one else does!

"What are you two boys talking about? You are thinking about this and that."

At this time, another voice came from outside, accompanied by a burst of footsteps.

Immediately, Tiana opened the door and walked in.

When 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?"

Lu Qi said: "Talk about some sensitive topics."

Tiana raised her eyebrows: "How sensitive is it that I can't listen to it anymore?"

"Of course Auntie can listen. There is no one better than you."

Lu Qi kept a smile on his face and said, "I just happened to be looking for you later, but I didn't expect you to come here first."

Tiana chuckled: "That's because my left eyelid suddenly kept twitching just now. I guess it's some unlucky guy here."

Lu Qi was thick-skinned and immediately said after hearing this: "Doesn't that mean there is a connection between my aunt and me?"

Tiana finally smiled angrily, then glanced at him again and said, "Stop joking and get down to business. What were you talking about just now?"

Speaking of this, Lu Qi's face also regained its normal expression, becoming rarely serious.

To be honest, Tiana rarely saw this kid show this kind of expression, but in her impression, once he had this kind of expression, it meant that he really had something big to do.

Lu Qi said: "Since the last time I came back from the Gate of Sorrow, I have been thinking, are we, Demacia, weak?"

Tiana heard this and replied: "Of course it is not weak. Demacia has been a country for more than 670 years. It is one of the few countries in Rune Land with a long history. At the same time, its military strength has not been weak since ancient times. Known as the country of steel, it is impregnable. Large-scale war defeats are rare and have nothing to do with weakness."

As a marshal of a country, she was very confident to say this.

This is not to be blindly arrogant, but this is the fact on Runeterra.

You know, Demacia is located in the west of the Valoran continent. This land is mostly pastoral and mountainous, with mountains, water, and rich mineral resources. Crops and food are also easy to grow. It can be said to be a very good treasure land.

Occupying such a place, if Demacia didn't have the strength, it would have been licked away by the surroundings at an unknown time.

Lu Qi asked again: "If he is not weak, then why do people always come to provoke him in a few years?"

Tiana thought for a while and said: "As times advance with the times, naturally the strengths and weaknesses of other parties are constantly changing, and there will always be people who feel that they are stronger."

"No." Lu Qi slowly shook his head and said: "In my opinion, we are not strong enough, so everyone can regard us as weak persimmons who are strong on the outside but weak on the inside."

"Noxus invades all the time, starting a war at will, coming and leaving at will. Even the tribes in the Freljord come back at every turn. We are their vegetable garden. Son, come and pick two vegetables when you are hungry."

Tiana listened to Lu Qi's words quietly, frowning slightly not because she thought there was something wrong with Lu Qi's words, but because she was also thinking about it.

In fact, it was not that she had not considered the issues Lu Qi mentioned.

Speaking of which, she actually guessed what Lu Qi was going to do.

"Advocating justice, honor and responsibility is something that every Demacian is proud of. This is also the foundation of Demacia. However, blind obedience will corrode our heels bit by bit, and then forever. No one will dare to take that step again.”

"I know what you are worried about. You are afraid that no one can shoulder this responsibility and shoulder this mission. Because Demacia has never done this since ancient times. The reason is that their noble justice does not allow them to do this. Do it. Is this really justice? I don’t think so, it’s just a kind of perversity!”

If Lu Qi's words were put out there, they would probably arouse public outrage.

However, there were only one of them in this huge office at this time, and Jarvan IV and Tiana both listened in silence.

"So, I will do what no one else does."

"What no one dares to carry, I will carry it."

"Let Runeterra truly know Demacia, and let Demacia's name resound in every corner of Runeterra."

"I feel like this is my calling."

In order to say these two lines, Lu Qi said a lot of words before. Now while speaking, he made a rather coquettish posture, raising his head at a 45-degree angle.

I was quite satisfied.

If I were to write a history book in the future and be engraved in a Demacia textbook, I would think he would be extremely handsome.

"Second brother! That's great. If nothing else, eldest brother supports you!"

Jarvan IV's face turned red as if he had been given chicken blood, and he stood up slapping the table.

When he was young, his thoughts were similar to Lu Qi's.

It's just that in comparison, he is caught in the middle, having to think about both the front and the end.

But there is no doubt that the one he supports the most at the moment is Lu Qi.

Tiana raised her eyes to look at Jarvan IV, then lowered her eyes. She naturally had more questions to think about.

Have you considered?

She actually wanted to ask this just now.

But he didn’t ask about the exit.

She naturally understood very well that Lu Qi had never been the kind of young man who was passionate, hot-headed, and decided what he wanted to do as soon as he slapped his head.

Now that he is standing here and saying these words, it is obvious that he has thought deeply.

Tiana looked at Lu Qi at this moment and said: "Even so, I still want to ask about your true intention."

Lu Qi also looked at her and said bluntly: "My intention is simple and clear, that is to conquer Noxus!"

Tiana was not surprised. She looked leisurely and said slowly: "Since ancient times, Demacia has never advocated war. There are three reasons. One is our bottom line. We never actively invade other countries."

"The second is that launching a war often requires a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources. It is much more than defense. Once it fails, it will cause irreparable losses."

"Third, in a war, the people and soldiers who are under the greatest pressure are the common people and soldiers. A sacrifice will only result in the blood and tears of a family. We can start a war with just one word, but it is they who bear the pressure."

"I have had your thoughts before. When I was at my most energetic, or in other words, many people like you and me have had such thoughts."

"Why do we always have to wait for the enemy to attack before we fight back? Why can't we take the initiative? Because once we do that, there is no turning back."

When she said these words, 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 Lu Qi change his mind.

But I don't know why, but I hope that he can persist.

To put it bluntly, this young man is about to take that step that she once did not have the courage to take.

Before her steps landed, she felt very complicated.

After hearing these words, Lu Qi did not waver. He said slowly: "In my opinion, this is a step that Demacia must take. Now, we seem to be trapped by ourselves. The ban on demons has been lifted. Everything seems to be moving in a good direction, I can wait, I can wait. After all, my own ambition is to lie in the yard, eat, drink and have fun."

"But every time I lie on the rocking chair, there is always a feeling in my heart that something is missing. I must consider whether this is the only opportunity for me and Demacia in this life. Regardless of whether it is, we must seize it. it."

When Lu Qi said these words, there was firm determination in his eyes.

Tiana was slightly startled. His eyes were brighter and more determined than ever before.

For Lu Qi, this is indeed a rare opportunity.

There are dangers hidden in his heart that many people don't know about. His dream is really just to live a leisurely and lazy life. He can eat when he opens his eyes, sleep when he is full, joke with the girls, have fun, and have some sex. It's good to do something like this for a day.

But it was precisely because of these threats that were yet to come, like a sword hovering over his head at all times, that he could not feel at ease.

As the saying goes, carpe diem, the happiness you have right now should be enjoyed now.

But Lu Qi clearly has so many good years to enjoy in the future, so does he have to wait until disaster strikes to regret it before it's too late?

Of course he doesn't want this.

Therefore, Demacia must become stronger.

It is so powerful that no one dares to provoke it, and it is so powerful that if the enemy comes one day, it will at least have the power to fight.

"So, we must take the initiative!"

"Punch away with one punch, lest hundreds of punches come your way!"

When he finished speaking, Jarvan IV beside him felt the blood flowing through his bones and wanted to clap his hands.

aweason!

Hit with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming

Tiana was startled again, maybe it was just like what this kid said.

This is a must-pass road for Demacia. Even if there are thorns on the road, they must walk through it.

After a while, she suddenly smiled in relief, wondering why she became so entangled.

"I don't know why, but I'm not surprised at all when you stand in front of me today and say these words."

She shook her head and smiled, and said, "Then just go ahead and do it. I said, no matter what decision you kid makes, I will support you behind it."

After saying that, Tiana suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

It turned out that before she knew it, she no longer needed to worry about many things in Demacia.

She looked at Lu Qi's young face and couldn't help but think of her young self.

Along the way on the battlefield, she witnessed too much bloodshed, sacrifice, and tears, so when the same question was placed in front of her.

She chose the same approach as her predecessors.

Doesn't Lu Qi know this?

he knows.

He even knows better than everyone else, but because of this, he knows better what the right path is.

Maybe Demacia needs people like him to change.

After thinking about it, it seems that Demacia has changed a lot because of him.

Tiana agreed with Lu Qi's decision.

Needless to say, Jarvan IV fully supported Lu Qi's decision.

So the three of them set off together to the palace of Jiawen III.

At this time, Jarvan III was admiring flowers in the back garden. He had recently left government affairs to Jarvan IV and was living the same leisurely life as Lu Qi.

And when he learned the purpose of the three people's visit, he couldn't help but be startled.

But he quickly came back to his senses and answered: "Now that you have decided, let's go ahead and do it."

His tone was very 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 do this, because as Lu Qi said, he was already trapped by himself.

The answers to these questions that he had thought about when he was young have now been fixed and will not change again.

So he would not stop Lu Qi, but decided to let him do it, and even give him the greatest support.

He believed that this child would not let him down.

In this case, it doesn't take much, just support.

Soon, instructions for the meeting were conveyed to everyone from the palace.

Since that meeting, the meeting time has been changed to once every few days.

Now that a meeting is held suddenly, it means that there may be something big to say.

Therefore, the ministers arrived quickly.

In the conference hall.

On the octagonal table, all the ministers have taken their seats.

Tiana, Lev, Barrett, Wingard, Giovanni, Sebastian, Carlal, Frey.

Eight people, each sitting in a seat, represent the supreme power of the meeting.

Jarvan III sat on the main seat, while other ministers stood in other parts of the conference hall.

When he saw that everyone was almost there, he cleared his throat.

The conference hall quickly became quiet.

Jiawen III looked around the audience and said: "There is only one content in this meeting. But it is not for me to speak."

After he finished speaking, he stopped making any sound.

Lu Qi, who was standing behind him, knew it was time for him to appear, so he took a step forward, looked at the table full of acquaintances and smiled: "I convened this meeting."

The ministers present did not say much, and Lu Qi was naturally qualified to hold a meeting.

However, what he said next still caused a lot of shock.

"The reason for this meeting is that I intend to send troops to attack Noxus."

After Lu Qi finished speaking a simple sentence, the surrounding people were stunned for a moment, and suddenly started to boil.

"What?"

"Attack Noxus?"

"Did I hear correctly?"

The ministers immediately started talking about it.

There were also several surprised faces on the octagonal table.

Including acquaintances, Barrett, Sebastian, and Lev, who didn't know the news, were all surprised.

But Wynward had an expected expression on his face. In fact, he had already guessed that Lu Qi had such an idea a long time ago.

And today, it is speculated that he is ready to take action.

As for Frey, it is naturally the same reason.

When sending troops to attack Noxus, the latter part of Noxus can be omitted, which can be directly understood as actively sending troops to attack.

You know, looking at the entire history of Demacia, no one has ever done anything like this.

This naturally caused a shock.

In fact, some people in history have proposed similar ideas, but the target is not Noxus, but the surrounding small countries and sea areas.

However, in the end, these proposals were not implemented.

Because Demacia's bottom line is that it never actively invades other countries.

But now, Lucci once again wants to break the mold.
