"You! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, there wouldn't have been any animosity between us brothers! "
Ha, now he was putting the blame on her again?
Lin Mengya looked at the angry man and smiled indifferently.
"There might be people here who really miss my brother. However, since we came in, you didn't show the enthusiasm and sincerity of a friend to an old friend who you haven't seen for a long time. You're looking for my fifth brother because the Gong family is different from the past, and I'm a popular candidate for the Crown Princess. So, you're asked by my family to continue your friendship with my fifth brother, right? "
She exposed them mercilessly and aroused the remaining shame of those young masters from the aristocratic families.
"But what can we do? Tell me, what can we do except to please our families? "
Her words were sad and angry, but they were what everyone was thinking.
Gong Wu sighed and tugged at his sister's cuffs, as if hoping that she would not be too heartless.
After all, they still had some friendship when they were young.
Lin Mengya raised her eyebrows slightly. Those who knew her knew that she was going to plot against others.
"You've abandoned yourself to be the puppet of a family, and no one can do anything about it. However, you may have better choices. It's up to you whether you want to do it or not. Are you going to be an obedient puppet, enjoy the great wealth of the family, marry a girl you don't like, and live a mediocre life, or … "
Everyone's thoughts were completely hooked by her words.
However, she smiled faintly and stopped the second half of the sentence.
Seeing that everyone was stretching their necks, waiting for her words.
Lin Mengya looked around and said word by word.
"Like an eagle, soaring between heaven and earth, fighting in the wind and snow. Repaying kindness and enmity, fighting on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield, dying on the battlefield, and being hot-blooded. Or in the court, arguing with the ministers, using good ideas to save the world, assisting the wise emperor, and personally protecting the great country. Compared to being depressed and unsuccessful, and spending your whole life in regret, resentment, and jealousy, I think you should know what to choose. "
Her voice was extremely provocative. The wishes that these people had been suppressing for a long time were all triggered by her at this moment.
Like a volcano eruption, it spread to his entire chest.
They suddenly felt that this warm room seemed to make them more and more anxious.
The cold wind that had just swept over was more suitable for their current state of mind.
"But, where will we get such an opportunity?"
"If my father finds out, he'll break my legs."
"A real man should aspire to travel far and wide. Who would want to stay at home and be a good-for-nothing young master?"
Lin Mengya knew it was time.
He smiled and dusted the nonexistent dust off his sleeves.
"Only by daring to think can you dare to act. It's not that there isn't a chance, but it's up to you to grasp it. It's getting late. Everyone, farewell. "
After that, he pulled the stunned Gong Wu out of the inner chamber.
"Fifth Brother Gong, wait for me! Big guy Cheng, are you still going to stay here and call these heartless and unscrupulous fellows brothers? "
Lian Xing glared at the group of people and pulled Cheng Hao out of the inner chamber.
At the table, the guys who had been miserable just now looked at each other in dismay.
However, the fire in their hearts had been fanned by Miss Gong.
And they could not extinguish it no matter what.
Would they really have this opportunity to realize their ambitions, as she had said?
They looked at their companions in confusion.
"Sister, you did it on purpose just now, didn't you?"
After changing his clothes and shoes, Gong Wu pulled Lin Mengya and asked in a low voice.
"Let's talk when we get home."
She heard footsteps behind her and immediately shot a look at Gong Wu. Then, she pretended that nothing had happened.
"Fifth Brother Gong, Miss Gong, wait for us!"
From the voice, they knew that it was Lian Xing who had caught up.
"Why are you two following me?"
Gong Wu turned around and frowned as he looked at his two childhood playmates.
Lian Xing glanced at his head with disdain, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.
"They don't deserve to be my friends. Humph, you snobbish fellows. Could it be that you've completely forgotten about the friendship we had when we were young? I feel disgusted at the sight of them! I, Lian Xing, don't have such heartless friends! "
Lian Xing's words were very childish.
But what was rare was that he still had this pure heart.
"Brother Gong, I'm sorry. After we parted a few years ago, I followed my father and brother to guard the border. I only heard about what happened to your family after I came back. I hope you don't blame me. "
In contrast, Cheng Hao's apology seemed much more sincere.
Lin Mengya's impression of these two people increased. It seemed that Gong Wu still had two best friends.
"We're all brothers. Why are you saying that? We can't blame them for some things. I'm the same, am I not? "
Gong Wu's lips curled into a wry smile.
Even in the most difficult times, it was his brothers who protected him, so he did not suffer too much.
What right did he have to blame his friends?
"Well, it's a world of ice and snow. You have plenty of time to exchange pleasantries. By the way, Brother Wu, I don't know about the commander of the imperial guards you mentioned. It's too late for us to go there now. "
As soon as Lin Mengya finished speaking, Lian Xing stared at them and asked.
"You're looking for my brother? He should still be in the yamen at this time. I'll lead you to him! "
What a coincidence!
Lin Mengya was slightly stunned. It seemed that there was no such thing as a coincidence.
The yamen of the commander of the imperial guards was located somewhere in the east of the city.
But the camp of the imperial guards was outside the city.
When they arrived, Lian Xing's brother, Lian Sheng, had gone to command the imperial guards to set up the defense.
"Official Chen, when will my brother come back?"
As soon as they arrived at the gate, they were welcomed in by an official who knew Lian Xing.
However, the people in the Imperial Guard Yamen all knew this Young Master Lian Xing.
Ever since he entered the yamen, Lian Xing had become more docile, without the slightest hint of his previous frivolous attitude.
It seemed that this eldest brother of the Lian family was quite powerful.
"Young master, the commander has already arrived at the camp outside the city. I'm afraid he won't be back before nightfall. If you have anything to do, it's better to wait at home. "
Official Chen was in his forties, but he had a beard and looked very mature and steady.
From his tone, it was obvious that he knew about the situation of the Lian family.
"I didn't cause any trouble! I'm here to look for my brother for something serious! "
Lian Xing hurriedly explained to Official Chen, but he was afraid that his previous record was not good, so Official Chen only looked at him with pity.
"Alright, you can go and do your work. If my brother comes, please let me know. "
Lian Xing heaved a sigh of relief, feeling a little depressed.
Indeed, he liked to look for his brother when he caused trouble, but this time, he really had something serious to deal with!
Lin Mengya saw all this, but she did not say anything.
She just picked up the teacup beside her and slowly took a sip.
Tsk, it was so bitter.
"I'm afraid my brother won't be back so soon in such a snowy day. Why don't we wait at my house? A few days ago, my mother was still talking about how she was going to find a good marriage for Big Fellow Cheng! "
Lian Xing's depression, which seemed to be misunderstood, only lasted for a moment. After that, his gloominess was swept away and he became lively again.
"Forget it, thank Aunt Lian for her kindness on my behalf. I'm not in the mood for these things now. Since Brother Lian is not here, I'll take my leave. "
Cheng Hao's avoidance was too obvious. Even Lin Mengya could see that he was afraid of Aunt Lian, whom he had never met before.
"Auntie Lian is really amazing. Back then, my big brother was both respectful and afraid of Auntie. Now, even you are the same. Sigh, Aunt Lian is indeed a heroine! "
Gong Wu was also joking with Cheng Hao. Cheng Hao blushed and was about to explain, when he saw a thin man in military uniform coming in from the door.
"Second Young Master, the commander is back and wants to invite you over."
Lian Xing's body stiffened when he saw the thin man, and then he nodded cautiously.
Lin Mengya looked at Lian Xing's behavior and shook her head in her heart.
When a mouse sees a cat, it's really afraid of it.
Under the lead of the thin man, the group of people walked through the corridor and arrived at a study.
"Commander, I've brought Second Young Master."
"Okay, you can leave now."
"Yes."
The thin man left, leaving only the few of them behind.
Lian Xing hesitated for a moment and seemed to be very nervous.
But the person inside did not care at all.
After a pause, he said, "Get in here. Are you waiting for me to invite you? Second Young Master Lian. "
The voice was cold and deep, with a murderous aura.
Lian Xing's eyes dimmed and he could only open the door dejectedly.
"Brother, today I'm …"
"What trouble did you get into this time?"
There was only a stove in the study.
In such a cold weather, it was not much warmer than outside.
Lin Mengya only needed one look to know that this commander was a soldier.
Her father and brother used to be like this, so they were naturally familiar with each other.
"I didn't get into trouble! I brought a few people to see you. Really, could it be that in your eyes, all I can do is cause trouble? "
Lian Xing muttered the second half of the sentence.
Lin Mengya followed them into the room and saw Lian Sheng sitting at the desk reading official documents.
Hearing Lian Xing's words, Lian Sheng raised his head and saw the three of them.
"So it's you. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Simple and straightforward. This was Lin Mengya's first impression of Lian Sheng.
He did not look like Lian Xing. Lian Xing was a handsome young master, while Lian Sheng gave people the feeling that he was dignified without being angry.
She knew that this person had been on the battlefield and had been trained.
"Brother Lian, sorry to disturb you. Actually, Gong Yu is looking for you. "
Cheng Hao was an old acquaintance of the brothers, so he spoke more casually.
Gong Yu walked up and greeted Lian Sheng.
