Long Aotian didn't expect that he would also have the day to be someone else's "life coach".

Well, in other words, when he came to the City Lord's Mansion, he was originally meant to be a teacher. It's just that it's not the main Li Ruizhi who is teaching, but his sister.

"Perhaps, they're busy."

What happened a few days ago can be described as an earth-shattering event in Gaozhou City. Not to mention dealing with the external relations with the Holy Empire and other cities in the Southern Federation, even in the city alone, the void left by the two major families to escape also needs to be filled and repaired.

There are so many things that can not be handled in three or two days.

"Mr. Long said this, do you believe it yourself?"

Li Menghan looked directly into Long Aotian's eyes, and his gaze was aggressive.

Long Aotian was not annoyed by her attitude, but sighed in his heart. That is her, after the people in the City Lord's Mansion knew Long Aotian's identity, they all bowed their heads and bent down when they met them by chance, and their attitude was extremely deferential, which was better than facing Li Yongchang. Not to mention looking at him, even if you raise your head a little, you don't dare.

Li Menghan is not ignorant of etiquette, nor is he bold. She behaved like this only because the grief and anger in her heart had exceeded the limits of reason, and she had completely forgotten the terrible and terrifying identity of the young man in front of her.

"I know that there are many things to be busy in Gaozhou City, my father is busy, and my brother is also busy. But no matter how busy you are, can't you even find time to say a few words? ”

Long Aotian stretched out his hand and pinched his brows, looking at the excited girl in front of him, he also felt a little headache.

This kind of psychological counseling work is not something that you can handle if you have advanced martial arts cultivation. Even if you have a smart brain, you can't always do it well.

"I am more accustomed to being straightforward in doing things and talking, and I don't know how to comfort people. If Miss Li doesn't mind, I'd like to ask you a question. ”

Li Menghan was also tired when he vented, and nodded: "Okay." ”

Long Aotian brewed words in his heart, but finally gave up and decided to tell the truth: "According to Miss Li, why did the city lord and the prince do this? ”

Hearing this question, Li Menghan's body stiffened. She is already smart, and she already has her own answer to this in her heart, but she doesn't want to think about it, let alone believe it.

But Long Aotian's words directly tore open the wound that she carefully avoided not touching.

She bit her lip and said in an astringent voice, "Because of power, right?" Because he wanted to keep the throne of the lord of Gaozhou City and consolidate the Li family's rule over the city. ”

Although it was still an inquiring tone at the beginning, without waiting for Long Aotian to answer, Li Menghan had already said more and more affirmatively, and his voice became more and more sharp.

"In the eyes of you men, power is always the most important thing. What husband and wife, children, flesh and blood, can all be ruthlessly abandoned for the sake of power! For the sake of power, my brother can pretend to be a straw bag, and let others laugh at him without caring about it. For the sake of power, my father and they were able to hide from everyone, including my mother and daughter. Also for the sake of power, he could not let Zhang Pengfei enter the City Lord's Mansion, but he still let him do it, causing Xiaoyu to be seriously injured and Ah Niu to be killed. All this for the sake of the so-called big picture! Is it true that one day, if we need to, we too will fall victim to the 'big picture'? ”

Although he was unfortunate to lie down as a member of the man, Long Aotian didn't say anything, just quietly listened to her vent. Before he asked this, he had expected the outcome.

After a long time, Li Menghan finally calmed down. Such a catharsis made her feel quite exhausted. But looking at his expression, he was much calmer and calmer than before.

This is a good sign.

"She should be able to hear some of what she says now, right?" Long Aotian thought secretly.

"According to Miss Li's understanding, what do you think power is?"

This question may be wide-spaced, or Li Menghan is tired at this time and doesn't know how to answer.

Long Aotian then put it another way: "When it comes to this matter, power is to be able to mobilize and command the troops and soldiers of Gaozhou City to resist or even extinguish all the rebellions of the Liu family and the Zhang family." Do you think that's right? ”

Li Menghan nodded in agreement.

"So, has Miss Li ever thought about what kind of role the soldiers play? In other words, what is the difference between a soldier in the army who carries out a mission with a weapon and Xiao Yu Aniu, as well as Miss Li and the city lord's wife? ”

The girl's heart moved, and she felt that she had vaguely grasped a little thread in his words.

"Power represents superiority, pleasure, but also responsibility!"

Long Aotian stood up and paced around the room, but his face began to become serious.

"Miss Li is probably right when she says that City Lord Li is for the dominance of Gaozhou City. However, in the following opinion, there is nothing wrong with City Lord Li doing this. ”

As if he had been hooked on the most sensitive string in his heart, Li Menghan immediately became excited.

"How is it not wrong, can it be that the safety of my mother and daughter, and the life and death of the people in the house, can be completely ignored?"

Long Aotian stopped and turned his head to look at her, his eyes without a trace of emotion: "The soldiers of the Gaozhou City Guards, those insignificant soldiers who picked up weapons and fought at the front line, who should care about their life and death?" ”

Li Menghan froze for a moment and said, "This, what does this have to do with me?" ”

"It has nothing to do with you, Miss Li, but it has something to do with City Lord Li."

Long Aotian turned his head away and didn't look at her again. Li Menghan only felt a sudden sigh of relief.

"Since your father is the lord of Gaozhou City, protecting the safety of Gaozhou City and cherishing every soldier are all responsibilities that he has to provoke on his shoulders. And these are the sources of power that you are talking about. You grieve for the wounds of your maid, and grieve for the death of your faithful men, but have you ever asked how many soldiers of the city guards were killed in a battle at the North Gate? Have you shed a tear for them? ”

Li Menghan's face turned pale, she really hadn't thought of these before.

"The lives of Xiaoyu and Ah Niu are fate, and the soldiers of the city guards are also fresh lives. It's only because the former are people you know and are close to that you complain about them and think that your father and brother didn't do their best to protect them. But in fact, the two are completely equal and there is no difference. ”

"For Xiao Yu and Ah Niu, City Lord Li's plan is undoubtedly a failure. But for the entire Gaozhou City, his plan avoided a head-on conflict with the two top families, and he didn't know how many lives were saved. Miss Li had come into contact with the affairs management of the City Lord's Mansion and should easily make a correct assessment of this plan. ”

As he spoke, he turned around again and looked at Li Menghan, his eyes a little softer than just now.

"As for Li Gongzi not coming over to explain to you, busyness is naturally a reason. But after reading your reaction just now, I probably understand another reason. ”

When Li Menghan heard this, his face couldn't help but turn red, and there was no resentment in his heart.

Long Aotian's attitude just now was not friendly, as he himself said, it was too direct. But Li Menghan was originally smart, but he was temporarily deceived by the illusion of deception by his loved ones. was drunk by Long Aotian as a stick, and his sanity returned, and many things were self-explanatory.

Seeing her transformation, Long Aotian was also satisfied with his enlightenment work.

"As the leader of a faction, brutality and cold-bloodedness are naturally unacceptable; But if it's just kindness and compassion, it's not necessarily a good thing either. In this respect, Miss Li is really not a suitable heir. Similarly, it is understandable that your father and brother did not inform them of their plans. ”

Li Menghan lowered his head a little ashamedly.

"Finally, I would like to remind you that although they are quite 'cold-blooded' for the sake of the overall situation, they still make comprehensive arrangements for Miss Li's mother and daughter. It must be known that the father and son of City Lord Li were also personally involved in this accident, and if they were not careful, their lives would be in danger at any time. But a big master like Steward Li who was hiding, they didn't take it with them, but stayed in the City Lord's Mansion. What is the purpose of this move, there should be no need to explain it more. ”

Li Menghan nodded silently, listening to Long Aotian's words, her mentality had already changed dramatically compared to before she followed up.
