"So, I need a leader for the Gong Family. You don't have to be involved in this, but you must know. Fourth Elder Brother, if the truth is as I said, then you must remember, once you reach the point where you can drag the Gong Family to eternal damnation, you must lead the Gong Family to completely cut ties with me. Do you understand? "
She could only entrust this task to Gong Si, because he was a smart man.
Only a smart man would know how to control this critical point and protect the entire Gong Family.
And Gong Si was the best candidate.
"I understand. You want me to investigate Ailian's boss. Is it because she has something to do with this?"
Gong Si wiped the sweat off his forehead. Although he knew that what Gong Ya said was just a speculation, he still couldn't be careless.
What he could do now was to assist Gong Ya as soon as possible and make the Gong Family more powerful.
Only in this way could they have the ability to protect themselves and others in a precarious situation.
Lin Mengya nodded and then shook her head.
"I want to investigate Ailian not only because she might have something to do with the reason why those people lost their memories. More importantly, she should have something to do with the assassination of the Emperor and the Empress. "
Although she knew that she might be involved in a bigger whirlpool, the only thing she could do now was to make herself more important.
"Actually, it's easy to know who did the assassination of the Emperor and the Empress. If we find Ailian now, I'm afraid that the Emperor may not appreciate it. "
There were some battles that couldn't be said out loud even if everyone knew about it.
But Lin Mengya shook her head. Not necessarily.
"Previously, the Empress had already expressed her intention to rope in the Gong Family. But now, the Gong Family has nothing that can interest the Emperor except for money. I need a more important bargaining chip to let the Gong Family gain more benefits. With the support of the Emperor and the Empress, I can make the Gong Family the top of the top ten families in a few years! "
Gong Si thought for a while and finally understood what she meant.
"You want to ask me in private because you don't want to use the power of the Gong Family, right? This way, even if the people behind Ai Lian found out, they wouldn't be able to trace it back to the Gong Family. As for those fake identities of mine, even if they found out that everything about me was fake, everything about me was fake. No one can track down something that doesn't exist in this world, isn't that right? "
Seeing that Gong Si had completely understood what she meant, Lin Mengya could not help but smile at him.
"That's right. I know that after the Gong Family becomes more powerful, you can no longer use some of your old identities. Since that was the case, why not let them play their part? Your subordinates will also be able to openly transfer to the Gong Family's academy in the future. After all, there were many people in the academy, and they came from all over the world. No one could find out anything. However, it all depended on Fourth Elder Brother whether he could do it or not. After all, that's everything you've painstakingly built up. If you were to go back now, even I would probably feel heartache. "
Gong Si looked at Lin Mengya and finally sighed.
"There's nothing to be reluctant about. In fact, I also want to openly use the identity of the Gong Family, but it's a pity that I had to use those identities that made me feel uncomfortable. Don't worry, I'll agree to these two things. However, you have to promise me one thing. If there's anything in the future, you can't hide it from me. You have to tell me, understand? "
Lin Mengya smiled helplessly, then nodded and said.
"Since you're the leader of the Gong Family, I will definitely discuss with you in the future. After all, only you can control this well. I know it's difficult, but only you can do it. "
Gong Si's expression was a little complicated. He knew that what Gong Ya said was right. In such a world, protecting oneself was the most important thing.
However, he just did not understand why Gong Ya would subconsciously think that the Gong Family could not protect her.
"Little sister, I understand that you don't want to be a burden to the entire Gong Family, but have you ever thought that one person's power is limited? If things are really as you guessed, why don't you want to expand the Gong Family to the point where it is enough to shake the other party? "
Hearing his words, Lin Mengya was stunned.
Why didn't she believe in the Gong Family? It was not that she didn't believe it, but she was not sure.
"There is no king who is alone, and there is no general who can win without soldiers. You want to fight with the other party alone, but what will you do when the other party has thousands of soldiers and horses? "
She … had never thought about this problem.
Perhaps it was because there were many people around her who could help her with everything she had experienced before.
Whether it was Sanjue Hall, Lieyun or Jin State, there were countless people who volunteered to do everything for her.
As a result, she had never known how to make effective use of the power around her. Once she encountered a problem, the first thing she thought of was how to solve it by herself.
But today, Gong Si's words made her fall into deep thought.
She was really a little confused about how to use these powers.
"Silly girl, you are not a lone ranger, and the other party is not a lone ranger either. If you really want to resist, you might as well learn from the way the emperor governs the world. Look at the emperor. He is in the court, but he hasn't even stepped out of Dragon City, but he can still balance the various forces and maintain the stability of the whole Wei State. If everyone is like you and has to do everything by themselves, won't they die of exhaustion? "
That was true. She admired the emperor very much.
After all, not everyone could manage such a big country well.
Although they were scheming against each other behind the scenes, this seemingly fragile balance was actually not easy to break.
Seeing that she was in a daze, Gong Si patted her on the shoulder.
"Tomorrow, I'll take you to visit a teacher. If he can help you, I'll be relieved."
"What teacher?"
Gong Si deliberately kept her in suspense and said mysteriously.
"Someone once prophesied that whoever gets this person will get the world. But he is such a strange person. Even when the emperor invited him, he didn't give him face. We can only see if you have this opportunity. "
"What? There is such a powerful person? "
Lin Mengya was very curious. She wanted to know who this person was.
"Be that as it may, you must not forget what you promised me. Even if I learn from the way the emperor governs the world, I can't use the Gong family to fight head-on. "
Seeing that she was so insistent, Gong Si could only agree.
"Since I have promised you, I will never forget it. Alright, you go back first today. We'll meet here tomorrow morning. Don't let Gong Wu find out. If he knows, I don't know how noisy it will be. That friend of mine hates noise the most. "
Since he was Gong Si's friend, he should not be difficult to get along with.
Since Lin Mengya returned from the contact point, she had been absent-minded.
Baisu and Shang 'er thought that their master was not feeling well.
"Miss, stop feeding him."
Someone grabbed her hand.
Lin Mengya looked at Shang 'er blankly, and the latter's little face showed that she was in a dilemma.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as she asked, she saw that the little thing's little mouth was bulging like a little hamster.
It was probably because she had fed him too quickly that he could not chew.
He looked at his spoon with a pitiful expression, probably thinking about how he could safely eat the next mouthful.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't pay attention. Spit it out, don't choke. "
She immediately reached out to take it, but the little thing avoided her hand, turned around, and spat into the small bowl that Shang 'er had brought.
"This boy is not like a child from a humble family at all."
Shang 'er praised him, but Lin Mengya did not respond.
Now, her heart was full of the news that Gong Si had told her.
She had never thought about the way of the emperor.
In fact, until now, she only felt that she was just an ordinary person who had a little bit of luck.
She had never thought about being a hero who saved the world, or going down in history.
But today, Gong Si's words made her think about some new things.
Why did she have to break away from the fate that others had set for her?
If she could control her own destiny, then wouldn't the control others had over her collapse on its own?
Just like before, if she was strong enough, she would not be afraid of those forces in Wei Country, so she left her family and friends, and came here.
She did not want to be a controller, she just wanted to be a person who created her own fate.
In addition to her own strength, the power that she could control was also very important.
Lin Mengya suddenly understood why Fourth Elder Brother had said those words.
Perhaps, she should really think carefully about how she should face the various difficulties that she was going to face today.
While tossing and turning, Lin Mengya welcomed the morning sun the next day.
Usually, hermits who lived in seclusion had a little quirk.
She should dress more simply, so that she could resonate with them and make a good impression.
Therefore, Lin Mengya was dressed in white today.
She did not even wear any gold or jade ornaments on her head. After all, it would not be good if others thought that she was vulgar.
With this thought in mind, she only combed her hair into a simple bun. Even Baisu and Shang 'er had an extremely complicated expression on their faces.
When she met up with Gong Si, he was dumbfounded when he saw the clothes she was wearing on the horse carriage.
"Little sister, are you going to pay your respects?"
Lin Mengya looked at her clothes and said with a little pride.
