The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch 113 - Interference
Emperor Qin lowered his eyebrows. His face was peaceful as usual. The rejection of the two sons of the Xin clan instantly made the place quiet.
Xin Fai realized the sassness of her two sons caused a commotion in the middle of the event. He got up from his seat, explaining clearly and briefly. "They're so young and they're not very good at controlling emotions. Please Your Majesty not to be brought to heart. They'll meet His Majesty after this event."
The event resumed as it should. There was one session of the event where the heroes who descended in the war were mentioned and earned the award directly from Emperor Qin. It was not only Xin Chen and Xin Zhan. Shui, Huo Rong, Unit One present, Fu Yu, and many more. Emperor Qin did not forget to discuss about the appointment of a new Imperial Pillar, the only thing that was a little interesting for Xin Chen to refer to. The rest went well until they finally arrived at the end of the event.
Half an hour waiting for Emperor Qin, they were finally able to speak face to face. Xin Zhan and Xin Chen had been waiting in the prepared room. Not so broad and certainly the chatter they talked about would not be heard by anyone out there. There was only a small table with a cloth-like pedestal woven with gold thread. A servant woman came, pouring warm drinks for the two of them while waiting for Emperor Qin.
It was still a while longer until Emperor Qin was done with the event and all his affairs. Xin Zhan had already put on an unpleasant look. His brother was neutral as usual. He tried to understand this conflict from two different sides.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Just get to the point." Xin Zhan couldn't bear to linger anymore.
Emperor Qin closed his eyes, breathing so slowly. He said, "I understand how you feel as a child. Seeing that your father was about to be killed by his superiors, even if he risked his life in his job. Hard to accept that."
"Why do you still do it? Because we thought we were going to die there and didn't have to bother thinking about how we felt?" xin Zhan's Anger. That young man doesn't care who His Majesty is. When he is calm, then anything as big as anything will not shake his emotions. Another story when it comes to his family affairs.
"Sister Zhan," Xin Chen said. Commemorating her brother so as not to be too late. Xin Fai had asked Xin Chen to restrain her brother. While that man had important business with the Empire's higher-ups.
"It's all about this Empire's other meddling," Emperor Qin said, raising the sleeves of his robe slightly and grabbing the drink cup. He drank a little before starting his conversation.
"When there is a crisis in our land, all the people are afraid. Issues arise and present negative speculation. You know, as long as you fight, sometimes news comes out that the two sons of the Xin clan have been killed by the Devil Sword?"
Emperor Qin stringed up a sentence for a moment, in order for the two people in front of him to understand the situation he was in at that moment.
"Attraction leads to many polemics. Our empire is in crisis. We had a long negotiation, even a three-day meeting because we did not reach an agreement. My voice alone is not enough to stop their plan to abolish the name of the Demon Sword which is considered to have become a great danger to this Empire." Emperor Qin spoke as he shook his head slightly, "There is no way I killed someone who once saved my life. I owe him my life. This decision is a calculation of many votes. I'm sorry I couldn't stop this from happening" she said.
"But I'm proud to see you guys overcome this deadly situation. Alone in the Valley of the Gods faced the Dark Dragon and the Demon Sword. I prepared the best event for your appointment as a new pillar."
"Heh, the new Pillar?" Xin Zhan almost laughed. "After you lifted up the trash with the silk robe as a hero? Heroes who fear war. Pathetic."
Emperor Qin pondered for a moment. It seemed that Xin Zhan's spicy mouth would not stop before he was completely satisfied with his answer.
Xin Chen finally spoke. "See, Brother Zhan." As Xin Zhan looked at him, Xin Chen was horrified. The look in his eyes was too fierce.
"Right now those elites are trying to dominate. The crisis in the Shang Empire could be sustained by their treasures. The funds they spent to stabilize the empire were the reason why they had such a strong influence. And those who have obtained the highest position in the Empire have the right to determine the future of this Empire" he explained.
Emperor Qin was a little stunned.
Without him explaining at length. Xin Chen explained the entire matter this empire was experiencing as well as the reason why the decision was taken. Xin Zhan was still in disbelief, but realizing that his younger brother was more able to think clearly in this kind of situation, Xin Zhan chose to follow him.
A long breath sounded. Xin Zhan said it. Said that the problem was solved even though it was still with a heavy heart.
Before they left, Emperor Qin spoke slowly. "The people rejoiced at this event despite the fact that they were terrified of their current position."
The man got up, "too much political play in this place. I just want to order. Stop them, because I can't do it. It's just gonna dirty my name and destroy my dignity."
That last message Emperor Qin said was so small. What surprised Xin Chen, however, was the man so glorified in the Shang Empire that he lowered his head. He could not refuse. The two were still shocked until the bodyguards came and followed Emperor Qin away from there.
"Too many political games ..."
Xin Zhan now felt guilty for his alleged misdeeds against Emperor Qin. The man had a lot of questions. One of the decisions he took was to blame. There was interference in it.
"We must help Emperor Qin." Xin Zhan was still talking. Unaware of her sister being distracted by something else, she saw that Shui and Huo Rong had come over while fussing over. Hours of waiting for Xin Chen to finish talking. They both got bitten by mosquitoes.
"Ha, just finished being an important person impromptu? Just talk a century." Shui hit his arm, bitten by a mosquito again.
"It just so happens that there's Brother Zhan here, I want to tell you something."
Xin Zhan looked forward and sideways alternately. It seemed that Huo Rong and Shui also had no idea about what Xin Chen was trying to convey until his face was so serious.
The four walked into the house, the guards said their father would be home at dawn. There were some jobs that made him have to stay in the palace.
In Xin Chen's room that Ren Yuan had already tidied up, the four of them sat facing each other.
"I'm going to the Wei Empire in the near future."
