Chapter 237: Keep it in mind
Situ Mingdao whispered to Lin Zhan, opening up a new world for Lin Zhan.
"So once we have a conflict with the sons of other families, there is no need to stay at all. As long as you don't really put the other person to death, then you can be put to death. Even if the sky is broken, there will be elders in the family who will come out to clean up the situation. As for yourself, as long as you really win face for the family, not only will you not be punished, but your status in the family will rise skyrocketing. β
What Situ Mingdao said was something that Lin Zhan had never heard before. Therefore, the impact on Lin Zhan was particularly large.
Lin Zhan is not a pure politician, so he is not clear about the real cruelty and darkness of political struggle. And because Lin Zhan used to be a simple soldier, his ideas are sometimes simple and outrageous.
Lin Zhan will not have the slightest mercy for the enemy, and will do everything possible to put the other party to death. But for others, Lin Zhan can rarely be ruthless.
Those people were not Lin Zhan's enemies, so what Lin Zhan wanted was to leave a line in everything and see each other in the future.
According to the Art of War, making enemies on all sides is tantamount to digging one's own grave, so Lin Zhan is not willing to offend irrelevant people to death.
Especially to Situ Mingdao. Because the Situ family and the Lin family are world friends, and Situ Mingyue and Lin Ling are good sisters, Lin Zhan is not willing to fight too hard with Situ Mingdao.
But Situ Mingdao's sudden words greatly subverted Lin Zhan's cognition.
"Aren't you afraid that if you fight too hard, the situation will get out of control in the end, causing a big war between the two families?"
Lin Zhan asked strangely.
"If you think so, you're fundamentally wrong. Situ Mingdao said a little dullly: "For a family, the most important thing is always the interests and inheritance of the family. Although our sons and daughters sound like a lot of names, they are actually just a pawn of the family. β
"Those who really play chess haven't made a move yet, and the battle of a few chess pieces, no matter how fierce it is, can stir up a lot of storms, let alone pull the whole family in. β
Lin Zhan frowned, and asked again: "Then what if you miss in the battle and cause death, for example, if you and I have a good one, then what should I do?"
"I've already said that you and I are pawns. Have you ever seen that chess player put himself in it for the life and death of a chess piece?" Situ Mingdao's tone was slightly heavy: "Lin Zhan, if you really want to squeeze into this circle, then it's best to give up your childish ideas." β
"Do you think my idea is naΓ―ve?" Lin Zhan frowned and said, "No matter how important the family is, there is also a person who is composed of one. These people have lived under one roof since birth, and the same blood flows in their bodies. I don't believe anyone can be so cold-blooded as to be indifferent to the grief of bereavement. β
"Indifference naturally not, and the pain of bereavement can be felt by anyone. But for a real person in power, the first place is always the family, and it can only be the family. Situ Mingdao said word by word: "If you and I really have a good relationship, it will definitely cause an uproar." The forces behind you and me will not sit idly by. But the first thing they have to do is not to avenge us wholeheartedly, but to try their best to fight for the greater good of the family in the name of revenge. β
Situ Mingdao let out a long sigh, and his tone was slightly sad: "You and I were both born in a family, and we should have feelings for all of this. We have been loved by our family since we were children, and everything is given by the family. But on the other hand, everything we do is family, including our own lives. β
Lin Zhan pondered for a moment, nodded slowly, and was silent for a moment, but shook his head again.
Seeing Lin Zhan's appearance, Situ Mingdao was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Why, I still don't believe it!"
"I believe what you say, but I don't believe what you say. β
Lin Zhan's inconsistent words made Situ Mingdao confused, and asked strangely, "What do you mean by this?"
Lin Zhan raised his head and looked at Situ Mingdao, and said with a smile: "Situ Gongzi, you have to be clear. My family is surnamed Lin. β
Situ Mingdao was stunned for a moment, and then reacted after a while.
Situ Mingdao smiled and said: "Although the Lin family is a bit maverick, after all, it is also a family, and it can't escape the fate of the family. But since Lin Zhangongzi has such confidence, then I have nothing to say. β
"Situ Gongzi will not say much, just wait and see. Lin Zhan gently flicked the fragrant tea in his hand: "But then again, I still want to thank Situ Gongzi for coming to mention me." β
Situ Mingdao shrugged helplessly: "You don't need to thank me, I'm just returning the favor." β
With a light smile, Lin Zhan asked, "Is it for Miss Situ?"
Situ Mingdao smiled bitterly and nodded.
"I didn't come for you to help her. β
"I know that Young Master Lin Zhan helped his little sister for Miss Lin Ling. Situ Mingdao said frankly: "But no matter what, I already owe this love, and I have to pay it back no matter what." β
"You're really funny, you have the ability but you don't help your sister. After I helped, you hurried over to return the favor. Lin Zhan asked strangely: "Didn't you just say that the children of the family are all chess pieces! Since they are all chess pieces, if you really want to fight with me, why do you care about this." β
"One yard to one yard, I won't be merciful when I fight you, but I don't want to involve my sister. β
"Situ Gongzi is frank!" Lin Zhan smiled: "But do I look like the kind of person who will involve innocent people?"
"If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if. Situ Mingdao said simply: "For the sake of my sister, I can only be a villain first and then a gentleman." After all, I've heard a little about your methods, and their ruthlessness is appalling. My sister is simple by nature, if she is targeted by you, she can only die without a place to be buried. β
"It's rare for you to give me such a high rating. Being said to be cold, Lin Zhan was not only not angry but very happy.
"I don't mean to flatter. I've been training outside before, so I haven't seen you much. But when I came back, I heard a lot of rumors about you. And Mingyue's girl often mentions you in front of me. Although the news is mixed, I can still see something in it. β
"I don't know what you see?"
Lin Zhan looked at Situ Mingdao with a smile and asked.
Situ Mingdao laughed a few times, as if he was carefully observing Lin Zhan.
"One more piece of advice, don't make it easy for everyone. Think for yourself, why a teenager who is less than seventeen years old would have so many rumors about him in such a short period of time. That alone is enough to tell a lot. β
Seeing that Situ Mingdao avoided the truth and dealt with his temptation, Lin Zhan didn't care.
"Oh, yes. It seems that I was negligent in this regard. But listening to your tone just now, you still don't seem to take me to heart, but are more interested in Lin Feng. β
Lin Feng! Situ Mingdao noticed Lin Zhan's title.
"Your eldest brother is indeed a good opponent. Among the younger generation of the Empire, there are not many people who can be looked at by me, and your eldest brother is one of them. Situ Mingdao said: "As for you! There is no distinction between you and me, and it is not good for you and me to determine your position too early." β
After listening to this, Lin Zhan nodded again and again, and praised it greatly: "Well said! Premature positioning is indeed not beneficial to you and me. It is enough for the Lin family to have Lin Feng to be in the limelight alone, as for me, it's okay to mess around and beat the side drums. In this way, I am much luckier than Lin Feng. β
Situ Mingdao smiled: "If you have to say so, it's not impossible." β
Lin Zhan laughed: "It seems that this auction is the right one." Not only did I get several treasures, but I also met such an interesting person, it was really better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years. β
Lin Zhan pointed at Situ Mingdao and said solemnly: "What you just said is a little inappropriate, but I will keep it firmly in my heart." β
Hearing Lin Zhan's words, Situ Ming smiled and said nothing. Pick up a cup of tea and take a sip again.
