"Thanks to you, I am not only alive, but also living well." Zhou Yan replied somewhat proudly.

"What? Looking at your old appearance, you still hate me for destroying your Luoyi City?" Wang Jian smiled and said.

"Don't talk about hatred. After all, victory or defeat is a matter for military strategists. It was me, Great Zhou, who lost in the first place." Zhou Yan sighed and replied honestly.

But he didn't wait for Wang Jian to speak.

Zhou Yan raised his head again and looked at Wang Jian fiercely: "I can't say I hate you, but I just don't like you."

The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy, that's how it is.

In the beginning, he called on the princes to join forces to attack Qin in the name of the emperor, but in the end he failed, and he was asking for it if the country was destroyed.

And after so many years, Zhou Yan has long since looked away.

"Hahaha."

Wang Jian laughed.

Seeing this old acquaintance, who was also the emperor, Wang Jian was a little touched.

"After you left Luoyi, you came to Lantian?"

Wang Jian asked with a smile.

"If I didn't leave, I'm afraid I would have died a long time ago." Zhou Yan said coldly.

"That won't happen. At least since I, Da Qin, saved your ancestral temple in the first place, I will not break my promise. And now your Zhou ancestral temple still exists in Luoyi, enjoying incense and worship." Wang Jian said immediately.

"Qin did promise not to destroy the Zhou ancestral temple. This is also true, but what about other countries?" Zhou Yan shook his head.

Once you hear this.

Wang Jian nodded: "Indeed, you used to be the emperor, and with your status, those other countries will definitely make a fuss about you if they want to do something."

"So, it's best if I hide it."

"Otherwise, how could I see my great-grandson born?"

"I'm really satisfied with all this." A smile appeared on Zhou Yan's face.

"When I saw Yue'er for the first time, I just thought, there is such a well-educated girl in a small village. It turns out that she is the granddaughter of the emperor, a royal bloodline, and a princess of Zhou."

"Zhao Xuan is really lucky."

"He actually married a princess."

Wang Jian said with great sigh.

Don't look at the Zhou Kingdom being destroyed.

But as long as Zhou Yan is born and the name of the emperor is released, he will get the status and respect he deserves. Even the Qin Dynasty will treat him with courtesy. After all, even the Qin Dynasty and all the countries in the world are nominally vassal states belonging to the Zhou Kingdom.

The emperor is the common master of all countries.

certainly.

This is only in name.

Zhao Xuan married a princess, which must be said to be very lucky.

"I also think that brat Zhao Xuan is lucky. He stole my Yue'er out of nowhere, and my Yue'er was willing to do it."

Mentioning Zhao Xuan, Zhou Yan was intrigued.

He has played wildly with his granddaughter since he was a child, and has captured his granddaughter's heart since he was a child. As someone who personally raised his granddaughter, how could Zhou Yan not be jealous.

"You have to think about it. That boy Zhao Xuan is very motivated. Do you know what he said on the first day he joined the army?" Wang Jian said with a smile.

"What did you say?" Zhou Yan was also curious.

"He said he wanted to be a general and stand out."

"When he was in the new barracks, he used his ability to impress all the new recruits. After that, the king issued an edict to destroy Han. Zhao Xuan even directly asked for orders from the vanguard army who narrowly escaped death."

"What do you think is the purpose of his narrow escape from death?"

"Is it just for an illusory way to get ahead?" Wang Jian said with deep meaning.

"He did it for Yue'er."

"He doesn't want Yue'er to stay in this village forever and become a village girl." Zhou Yan murmured to himself.

Although Zhao Xuan has now obtained power and glory that countless people cannot obtain in their lifetime, one can imagine what kind of narrow escape situation it took to obtain it.

"Mr. Zhou, isn't this right?"

"It's a good thing that your granddaughter has a man who fights for her like this."

"And Zhao Xuan did not disappoint you. He is young, only seventeen years old, and now he has been reused by the king and has become a general. In time, if Zhao Xuan continues to serve the Qin Dynasty, he might be able to become a general.

Where is the general?" Wang Jian said with a smile.

Hear what Wang Jian said.

There was also pride on Mr. Zhou Yan's face: "After all, it's all thanks to you for taking care of that boy Zhao Xuan in the army."

"Don't get me wrong, we didn't take care of him. Everything Zhao Xuan got was from his military exploits with the sword in his hand." Wang Jian replied with a smile.

"Looking at Zhao Xuan's promotion, now I understand why I couldn't compete with Qin even though I had gathered the strength of the five countries. After all, Qin's military system is unmatched by any country in the world."

"Even an ordinary soldier can be promoted based on meritorious service. This is justice for soldiers."

"But in the past, in my great Zhou Dynasty, and even in other countries, nobles were in power, and soldiers were always just soldiers. How could they fight to the death?" Zhou Yan said with great emotion.

I have lived in Daqin for so many years.

It also allowed Zhou Yan to completely end the Qin Dynasty's military merit and title system. It must be said that this was a feat that was the first of its kind in the past.

"The military merit title system was fully implemented in Da Qin because of the efforts of generations of old Qin people. If not, how could we have taken back the land and promotion rights from the former nobles." Wang Jian smiled slightly and sighed.

"Indeed." Zhou Yan nodded.

The growing strength of the Qin Dynasty has been witnessed by all the countries in the world, making them extremely fearful.

Seeing the power of the Qin Dynasty, how could other countries not want to implement the same reforms as the Qin Dynasty, but they simply couldn't do it because the nobles in their countries put their own interests first and would not release the power they held in their hands.

To be a pariah in their eyes.

When Shang Yang carried out the reform, he also encountered endless help. Fortunately, Qin Xiaogong Ying Quliang was able to cooperate with him, otherwise the reform would be empty talk.

"Do you have any idea to go see the king?" Wang Jian smiled, looked at Zhou Yan and said: "If the king knows that you, the elder, are still here, he will definitely welcome you, and now you are the grandfather of my youngest general in Da Qin.

.”

"Come on."

"You can reveal my whereabouts to King Qin, but don't let anyone disturb me."

"I have only a few years to live. I just want to spend time with my granddaughter and great-grandson. Everything in the past has nothing to do with me." Zhou Yan waved his hand to Wang Jian and refused directly.

As for why Wang Jian was asked to reveal his whereabouts, it was also for Zhao Xuan and his granddaughter. If he deliberately concealed it, it would not be a good thing for Zhao Xuan.

As the emperor who once held the power of the king, Zhou Yan clearly knew how terrifying that power was.

In front of the royal power, all living beings are like ants.

Looking at Zhou Yan's appearance, Wang Jian didn't force himself and nodded.
