Chapter 267: Diverting the Trouble
Yuan San instantly understood what Jiang Tangtang meant. She wanted to recruit these masters for her own use.
In the past, he would have thought this idea was crazy, but now, he felt that this was a business worth taking the risk.
It would take at least ten to eight years to train so many experts one by one.
But now, they only need to use some means and take some risks to get so many masters. Why not give it a try?
So, after Xiao Xian and his companions were captured, they experienced all kinds of intimidation and persuasion...
Yuan San is not very good at persuading people, but it doesn't matter that he doesn't know how to do it, because Xie Xin has many such talents under him.
Most of the thousands of soldiers who attacked the treasure island are now loyal. Some of them have even been appointed to important positions on the island and brought their families to the island.
Yuan San sent a letter to Treasure Island, asking Xie Xin to send his men to assist. Xie Xin attached great importance to this matter and personally brought twenty men with him.
Also returning with Xie Xin were Lu Shili, who heard the news shortly after arriving on the island, and Su, who was so scared that she almost fainted.
Lu Shili felt very guilty for not sending his sister and sister-in-law to the valley that day, but choosing to return to Taiwan first.
"Brother, I'm fine." Lu Zhixi spun around in front of Lu Shili lively, "Look, I'm fine. I even rode a tiger with my sister-in-law!"
"You can still laugh!" Lu Shili breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his sister was not scared silly.
"It was my sister-in-law who was quick! I didn't even react when the arrows flew towards me, and she took me away from the rain of arrows..." Lu Zhixi talked about the situation with his hands and feet dancing.
"No, you have to learn some self-defense skills like your sister-in-law." Lu Shili rubbed his temples with a headache, feeling that the few guards around her were not enough.
"I'm not cut out for that!" Lu Zhixi's face turned bitter and he was about to run away.
"You still want to run away." Lu Shili reached out to grab his sister and talk to her.
Lu Zhixi recalled the miserable days when his father caught him practicing martial arts as a child, and his short legs ran even harder. Seeing that he was about to be caught, he was anxious and rushed to Xie Xin, "Brother Xie, save me quickly."
There was suddenly a person in Xie Xin's arms, which made him a little confused. He didn't understand how he could be watching a fun event, but the fun became him.
"Lu Zhixi, come here." Lu Shili's face changed.
This younger sister has been lawless since she was a child. In the past two years, she has been helping her sister-in-law manage the business. Without anyone to restrain her, she has become even more lawless.
She actually took the initiative to throw herself on the man outside.
Or maybe these two people were somewhere he couldn't see...
When Lu Shili looked at Xie Xin, there was a knife in the corner of his eyes.
Xie Xin didn't know where to put her hands, looking very innocent. "If I said I was just watching the excitement, would you believe me?"
"What do you think?" Lu Shili squeezed out a few words from between his teeth. He was now very suspicious of Xie Xin's real intention in following him here today.
Lu Shili was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire and his whole body was about to burn. However, Su looked at Xie Xin like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.
She has been looking for a partner for her daughter in the past two years, and Xie Xin is the person she focuses on.
Xie Xin is not only good-looking, but also very capable. Now he is in charge of the military defense of the entire island.
The most important thing is that he is Lu Shiyan's right-hand man.
She felt relieved that her daughter was with him and didn't have to worry about her daughter being bullied.
Mrs. Su glared at her son, who didn't understand the situation. "Why are you being so mean to General Xie? General Xie, don't bother with him. He's been a tough guy since he was little, and he just loves to lose his temper."
"Aunt, you're too kind!" Xie Xin felt nervous for the first time and didn't know what to say.
"Alright, go get back to your business." Su glared at her little daughter, "Why don't you come back with me?"
Lu Zhixi covered his face and ran away quickly.
Jiang Tangtang had just finished Lu Shiyan's 360-degree, all-around, comprehensive examination. Her heartbeat hadn't even settled down when Lu Zhixi rushed in like a cannonball.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Shiyan scolded his sister with a cold face, "Where have you forgotten the rules?"
Lu Zhixi didn't expect that his elder brother was at home. He was immediately frightened like a quail, shrinking his neck and not daring to speak.
"Why are you being so mean to her?" Jiang Tangtang blushed and glared at Lu Shiyan unhappily.
Lu Shiyan coughed uncomfortably and strode out of the room.
Jiang Tangtang then asked, "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhixi didn't know what to say, and his heart was inexplicably confused.
In the past two years, she has been helping her sister-in-law manage her business, traveling a lot. She often has to return to Taiwan for business matters.
As a result, her interactions with Xie Xin increased, but she hadn't previously thought otherwise. At most, she felt that he was more like the ideal brother in her mind than her two older brothers.
But today...
Mrs. Su rushed over from behind and knew that her daughter-in-law was fine. She didn't ask any more questions. She asked the kitchen maid to make some calming soup in the evening, then sat aside and talked about her daughter.
"Are you interested in General Xie?"
Su came up with a direct attack, which made Lu Zhixi jump up and down, while Jiang Tangtang was stunned.
Does your sister-in-law like Xie Xin?
When did this happen? How come she didn't notice it at all?
Just when Jiang Tangtang was wondering if she was too slow to catch the first glimpse of the melon, Lu Zhixi said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, don't listen to mother's nonsense."
"Am I talking nonsense? You have no interest in her, so why are you throwing yourself at her?" Su couldn't hide the smile on her face, and she had already started thinking about who to find as a matchmaker to arrange marriage.
However, it is not a good idea for the girl to propose marriage. It is too unreserved and a bit too aggressive. It would be better to let the son go to him and hint at it, so that he can take the initiative to propose marriage.
As for her daughter's refusal to admit it, she didn't take it to heart.
She knew her daughter well. Although she had a somewhat eccentric personality, she had watched her grow up and knew she wouldn't go out of line.
He is definitely interested in Xie Xin, but he is too shy to admit it as a girl.
"I didn't mean to do that. It's all my second brother's fault..." Speaking of Lu Shili, Lu Zhixi's mind suddenly turned around and he began to frantically divert his attention. "Mom, you'd better take good care of my second brother! If you don't, Cui Yueling will become my second sister-in-law."
Su's attention was indeed diverted in an instant. "What did you say? Why is your second brother involved with her?"
Su's face was filled with anger. She would never allow her son to have anything to do with the Cui family.
Lu Zhixi silently apologized to his second brother in his heart, and then quickly said, "Mom, you don't know, Cui Yueling chased him to Lingnan, and she was arguing with him on the street, saying that she hadn't arranged a marriage for him and had been waiting for him."
"She is shameless! She came to the Lu family in person to ask for the marriage." Su was furious. "Where is she? Take me to find her."
