Lin Zhan said unabashedly: "I am not satisfied with Grandpa's approach, so naturally I have to find a way to change this situation." You all belong to the Lin family, and even now that you are my subordinates, this has not changed. As I said, I allow you to remain loyal to the Lin family, and I also need you to remain loyal to the Lin family. All I ask for is absolute command over you, all I want is for you to obey my orders when necessary. ”

"It can be seen from the fact that the royal family suddenly gave my eldest brother a marriage this time, and they have already decided to do something to the Lin family. I don't want to sit still, I have to find a way to fight back. Building up a force that I have complete control over is necessary for me to fight back. But once I clashed with the royal family, no one can say what choice my grandfather would make in the end because of all their scruples. In the worst-case scenario, it may be possible to kill relatives in a righteous way. If I'm going to protect myself, I have to prepare for the worst. So I have to be prepared for a conflict with the Lin family. Now you understand?"

Ah Tai thought for a while and then said, "What Childe said Ah Tai understands. Ah Tai just wants to know, if Childe really clashes head-on with the Lin family, what will Childe choose to do?"

Since Lin Zhan was ready to turn his face with the Lin family, he naturally had corresponding countermeasures. But this countermeasure can't be said directly now, because Ah Tai and these people have just become Lin Zhan's official subordinates. At this time, Lin Zhan will fully reveal his plan, which will be a great stimulus to them, and will bring unnecessary trouble to Lin Zhan.

So Lin Zhan didn't answer directly, but asked Ah Tai instead: "You have been asking about my plans since the beginning, haven't you thought about what the Lin family will react to when the time comes." I never thought of taking the initiative to conflict with the Lin family, but if the Lin family is determined to destroy their relatives for the sake of the empire, what do you think should be done?"

Ah Tai's expression was stunned and speechless.

Ah Tai's expression was embarrassed and he didn't know what to say, Lin Zhan continued: "The fundamental purpose of everything my grandfather and they have done is to protect the stability of the Heavenly Star Empire. I don't have such lofty ideals, nor do I have such ability, so the fundamental purpose of doing these things is to protect a Lin family. The two sides have different purposes and different methods, and the possibility of future conflicts is not impossible. ”

"If you ask me this question now, I can't give you a clear answer, let alone promise anything. The only thing I can assure you is that no matter what happens, I am the Lin family and this will never change, everything I do is for the survival of the Lin family, for the survival of everyone in the Lin family. ”

Lin Zhan faced Ah Tai and said frankly: "In order to protect the Lin family, I can do whatever it takes." But the conflict with the Lin family is the last thing I want to see. If possible, I will try my best to reduce the possibility of conflict with the Lin family, and if it really comes to the point where there is no way to avoid it, all I can do is to minimize the damage to the Lin family as much as possible. That's my final bottom line. ”

In the face of Lin Zhan's calmness, Ah Tai, who finally understood Lin Zhan's true intentions, was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The subordinates are ashamed, and the subordinates are afraid. ”

With a chuckle and patting Ah Tai's shoulder, Lin Zhan said, "You don't need to be so serious. I understand that all of this you have done today is out of your loyalty to the Lin family. I understand your own struggles. My thoughts are very different from those of the main body of the Lin family, and it is indeed a bit difficult for you to agree with my ideas at once. So I'm not asking you to make a change now. I'm just starting out now, and it's still a long time before I really grow up, and the conflict with the Lin family is even more elusive. During this time, you can think about which side you will end up on. When you finally make your choice, all you have to do is talk to me. No matter what your final decision is, the Lin family and I will not blame you. ”

Ah Tai said to Lin Zhan gratefully: "Thank you Gongzi for success." ”

"Alright, you go down first. Be ready, and in a few days, I'll give you a very important task,"

"The subordinates retired. ”

Looking at Ah Tai, who was gradually withdrawing, Lin Zhan couldn't help but show a relieved look, but then Lin Zhan's eyes became a little complicated.

Lin Zhan felt relieved, naturally because of Ah Tai's loyalty. Because not everyone had the courage to ask Lin Zhan such a question just now. In the face of Lin Zhan's questioning, Ah Tai could completely deceive the past with vague words, and there was no need to risk angering Lin Zhan.

But in the end, Ah Tai didn't use these slick methods, but just honestly put all her thoughts in front of Lin Zhan with her heart. made a painful choice between the Lin family and Lin Zhan, and even did not hesitate to use his life to repay the kindness of the two to him.

Faced with such a person, Lin Zhan couldn't help but have a good impression and trust. Even if Ah Tai really betrayed Lin Zhan and returned to the Lin family's camp in the end, Lin Zhan didn't know if he could be ruthless and dispose of Ah Tai.

This is also the reason why Lin Zhan felt complicated after feeling relieved.

In the past, few people questioned Lin Zhan's decision, let alone questioned Lin Zhan in person like Ah Tai. But when Lin Zhan faced Ah Tai's questioning, in addition to some habitual unhappiness, he was more of a compliment and value for Ah Tai. Even Lin Zhan decided not to intervene in Ah Tai's possible rebellion.

This was an extremely abnormal move for Lin Zhan.

At least Lin Yu, who had been with Lin Zhan for so long, rarely saw Lin Zhan have such a reaction.

After half a sound, Lin Zhan suddenly said to himself: "Perhaps, these mortals in the human world are more worthy of cherishing than the so-called gods. ”

Lin Zhan just said this sentence involuntarily, and even he wondered why he said it. It can be said that it is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. When these words came out of Lin Zhan's mouth, Lin Yu's body stiffened for a moment, and a sharp light erupted in his eyes.

But in the flash of light, Lin Yu regained his original well-behaved appearance. The speed was so fast that Lin Zhan didn't notice the slightest change just now.

Five days later.

After returning to the imperial capital, Lin Zhan, who had never taken a step out of the Lin family, finally stepped out of the door of the Lin family with the newly established Shengyao on this day. Go to a military academy set up by the Lin family outside the city.

It will be where a new batch of Saints will be born.

After Shengyao was officially formed, Lin Zhan's next step was naturally to rapidly expand his power. Therefore, Lin Zhan proposed to the Lin family two months ago that he would select members from the elite of the Lin family's army every once in a while to expand his own power.

After seeing Lin Zhan's methods of training Sheng Yao, Lin Tianxiao thought about it again and again and finally agreed to Lin Zhan's request. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong in this matter, Lin Tianxiao directly ordered a military school field to be allocated to Lin Zhan in the east of the imperial capital.

With the Lin family's power in the empire, the requisition of a military academy is just a matter of words. From the princes and ministers to the common people, I believe that no one in the empire will say anything about this matter.

After seeing Lin Zhan's selection methods, Lin Tianxiao naturally knew what kind of subordinates Lin Zhan wanted. Therefore, the Lin family spent a lot of effort to prepare a group of real elites. Not long after Lin Zhan officially formed Shengyao, all these people had already gathered in the imperial capital.

Lin Zhan and his entourage had already set off early in the morning, and this time happened to be the quietest time in the imperial capital.

Lin Zhan's dozens of subordinates are all masters now, but no matter how high the master is in the imperial capital, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs. Therefore, Lin Zhan and his entourage of forty-two people, riding forty-two horses, spent a quarter of an hour, and finally arrived at the military academy in the east of the imperial capital.

The crowd dismounted and stood still.

Lin Zhan looked at the time, turned to everyone and said, "Half an hour later, the Lin family army who participated in the selection will arrive." Take advantage of this time to get ready, and later you must use all your strength to entertain these so-called elites. ”

Today's task Lin Zhan had already explained to Wu Tian and them, but when he got to him, Lin Zhan couldn't help but say more: "Here I am reminding you that the person I need must be a real elite." I don't want any of your elected people to tarnish the name of Shengyao, do you understand?"
