"The Boundary Barrier of the Nine States is a national treasure. You should know the importance of this barrier better than anyone else. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the country and the people, you must explain the secret of the Boundary Barrier of the Nine States to the military. This is a decision made by the entire military. I believe you will understand." General Yan's expression became unusually serious.
Before Qin Lang could answer, Elder Bao said, "Old Yan, the military has a good plan. Everyone knows the importance of the Boundary Barrier of the Nine States. They also know that it is a national treasure and cannot be controlled by an individual. It seems safer to hand it over to the military. However, have you ever thought that Qin Lang will be safe if he hands over the control of the Boundary Barrier of the Nine States to the military? Who was the one who opened the seal on Hell Island? Now, the coast of the South Sea is being attacked by the creatures from the Otherworld. Countless soldiers have died because of this. Old Yan, if this was a peaceful era, I would have the same opinion as you. However, now that the world has changed, I can't agree with you anymore. This is also why we parted ways. The Boundary Barrier of the Nine States should not be controlled by Qin Lang alone. However, this thing originally belonged to him. What right do you have to ask him to hand over the control of the Boundary Barrier of the Nine States? "
"That's right. I never planned to hand over the control of the Boundary Barrier of the Nine States. I never planned to do that." Qin Lang sneered. "If you think that the Boundary Barrier of the Nine States is a hindrance, I can totally remove it and let you do whatever you want. That way, you don't have to worry about the creatures from the Otherworld to kill. You also don't have to open the seal on Hell Island."
Qin Lang's words revealed his displeasure. There was even a strong sense of sarcasm in them. He believed that General Yan should be able to understand it. In fact, Qin Lang's words were not aimed at Old Yan. General Yan was only representing the military to discuss the matter. This was not only about personal feelings, but it was also about the future of the country and the people.
After a while, Qin Lang said to General Yan calmly, "Alright, now that the barrier of the Nine States in the South Sea has been removed, you people in the military can go and fight the creatures from the Otherworld without worry."
Although Qin Lang's words were calm, General Yan and Elder Bao were shocked. This was a matter of life and death for hundreds of thousands of soldiers and millions of civilians. How could Qin Lang make such a hasty decision?
Qin Lang's words were quickly confirmed. General Yan immediately received military intelligence from the south. The activity of Otherworld creatures had increased significantly, and they were not only facing Hell creatures, but also creatures from other Otherworld creatures!
"Qin Lang! This is not a trifling matter. You really don't know the gravity of the situation! This concerns the lives of millions of people! " General Yan immediately turned hostile because he felt that Qin Lang did such a thing for his own selfishness.
"Am I being childish? You only know that this is the lives of millions of people? Then why did you break the seal on Hell Island? Didn't I warn you before that the seal on Hell Island can't be casually opened? Now, you let the wolf into the house and let the Hell creatures into the barrier of the Nine States. Is this also my fault? "Qin Lang's questions made General Yan speechless.
"But — you can't just throw away the jar. Shouldn't you make up for it?" General Yan retorted.
"Yes, I shouldn't throw away the jar. I should make up for it. But why should I make up for it? Kid, I'm not Nuwa. I have to make up for it wherever there is a problem. I have worked hard to prepare the Nine Regions Barrier for everyone to rely on and retreat. However, there are always some self-righteous idiots who want to do the stupid thing of inviting the wolf into the house. Even you know that this is putting millions of people in danger, but why do you want to do it? You want me to hand over the control of the barrier of the Nine States — ptui! Why don't you think those people are worthy of it? General Yan, I still respect your integrity and character. Unfortunately, at times like this, you can't see things as clearly as Elder Bao. You always think that the big picture is more important and ignore the small things. That's why you tolerated the Guo family and some other forces controlling the military. You even wanted to sacrifice a small fry like me in exchange for Hua Xia's long-term stability. Unfortunately, your decision won't work because the times have changed. The Guo family and those people have changed too. They are more ambitious. You have to be careful. By the way, the barrier of the South Sea won't disappear completely. What happened before is just a warning. If the situation in the South Sea completely goes out of control, perhaps I will have to 'cut off my own flesh to heal the wound' and abandon that area. "
This time, Qin Lang's response was very strong. Of course, Qin Lang knew that the military wanted the control of the barrier of the Nine States. Qin Lang also knew the reason. However, Qin Lang wouldn't give in on this matter, even if both sides turned against each other.
However, General Yan didn't turn against Qin Lang. After all, both of them had a personal relationship. He still had to save some face for each other. After a long sigh, General Yan said, "I can't believe it. One is my old friend, and the other is a junior that I admire. Both of you are supposed to be the backbone of the country and the people, but at this critical moment, you are not willing to stand on the same side as me. This is such a pity! However, no matter what, I hope that what you are doing will benefit the country and the people! "
"You don't have to worry about this. At least the things that Elder Bao and I are doing can be done with a clear conscience. As for you, you have to be careful. The Guo family's power has risen again, and there are people supporting them. I'm afraid you won't be able to deal with them alone. "Qin Lang reminded General Yan.
"Whether it's the political arena or the battlefield, I have been through hundreds of battles. You don't have to worry about me." General Yan responded and walked out of the cave. This time, the negotiation was over.
"Qin Lang, don't blame Old Yan. In fact, he is really worried about the country and the people!" Elder Bao looked at General Yan's back and sighed.
"I know." Qin Lang nodded and said, "However, for the sake of the overall situation and stability, he compromised with the Guo family and the forces behind them. I don't agree with him. Of course, this is his own decision, and he can only bear the consequences himself. "
"You don't think that Old Yan will have a good future?" Elder Bao heard the hidden meaning in Qin Lang's words.
"Asking a tiger for its skin, what good can come of it!" Qin Lang also sighed. He knew that there was nothing wrong with General Yan's character. In fact, it could be said that he was quite outstanding. This was because this general looked at problems from the perspective of the country and the people. Unfortunately, he underestimated the appetite of the Guo family, so his fate was not optimistic.
