When the two children heard her say this, they were so frightened that they shook even more violently than before.

"No, we are not here for revenge!" the braver little boy hurriedly explained.

Shen Lanxi: "I killed the pirates on the island. Among those pirates, there might be your family, friends, or even people who helped you. Don't you hate me?"

Although the little boy was scared, he still mustered up his courage and said, "No, grandma said that everyone on the island is a bad guy. She told us to find a chance to escape!"

"The grandma you mentioned is the one who raised you?" If there really was such a person on the island, she wouldn't mind throwing the two of them overboard when they made a temporary stop.

"Yes, they all called her an old lunatic. My grandma was sick, so they threw her out, and then she died!" The little boy gritted his teeth, and when he talked about the pirates, his skinny little face was full of hatred!

Another child begged for mercy in a low voice: "We can make fire, collect firewood, wash clothes and wash dishes. We do a lot and eat very little. Can you please not kill us?" After the child said this, he stabbed the little boy and cried in fear.

The women in Liuzhao Village were all soft-hearted. The two children were so skinny that they were just bones. It was obvious that they were not treated as human beings.

The students of Qinglan Academy also softened their hearts. The two children had obvious scars on their faces, wrists and ankles, which reminded them of themselves.

"Stay!" Shen Lanxi's words decided whether the two children would stay or go.

The women of Liuzhao Village took their two children to wash up. The women were diligent. Yesterday, all the clothes stained with the blood of pirates had been spread out in the wind to dry all over the boat. Now they were scrubbing the deck. There was not a single speck of dust to be seen on the entire boat!

"Let's go in and talk!" Shen Lanxi was the first to enter the meeting place, which was a temporary study room set up by the students of Qinglan Academy.

She put the few books she brought with her on the table, and Cheng Zheng pointed at him and the other students.

Shen Lanxi was more relaxed when talking to them than to outsiders.

No matter how talented they were before, they would be treated as inferior cripples wherever they went. She treated these people the same as ordinary people. If they did not know how to repay the kindness, they would be trapped in their own trap and cut off their own path to survival!

The most important thing is that these people can't talk and won't reveal her true appearance.

"Fifth brother, is third brother back?" She asked the third brother to infiltrate the pirates and take the opportunity to tell the Liu family the news that Zhou Qiwu was colluding with the pirates.

Feng Wu brought over a plate of peaches, which he had picked specially for his junior sister from the island.

"Thank you, senior brother!" The senior brother still remembered that she liked to eat peaches.

Shen Lanxi picked up one and motioned for others to take any.

When sailing on the sea, fruits and vegetables are the most precious. Although the lord is very polite and generous, they also have to know their limits!

Seeing that they didn't take it, Shen Lanxi didn't bother about the trivial matter.

Feng Wu: "He spread the news and sent a message saying he is following us. Don't worry about him. He is always cautious!"

Hearing that her third senior brother had escaped safely, she took a bite of the peach in a good mood.

The next second he froze, chewed it twice without changing his expression, swallowed it, then reached out and took one and threw it to Fifth Brother.

"Fifth brother, you worked so hard to pick these fruits, but I would feel embarrassed if I was the only one eating them. You should try some too!"

Feng Wu had no doubts about it. Xiao Jiu treated his fellow disciples as his family members, and whenever he got something good, he would always think of them.

uh~

One bite will make your eyebrows sore!

He corrected himself, this little bastard is still so petty!

Feng Wu walked out with his hands behind his back without changing his expression. As soon as he stepped out of the study, his face became distorted as if he had chewed three pounds of raw Coptis chinensis.

He's so jealous!

Shen Lanxi opened the window to get some fresh air, broke off the half she had bitten and threw it away, and put the other half back on the plate.

He straightened his mind and regained his dignified and calm demeanor.

"Let's start the meeting now!"

Cheng Zheng already had questions to ask, so he quickly took out the questions he had written and handed them over.

After reading it, Shen Lanxi nodded affirmatively to Cheng Zheng.

In contrast, Cheng Zheng was much more sober-minded when he saw the blind trust Liu Yanhui and others had in her.

What he asked was: "What if the Liu family doesn't attack the pirates?"

Shen Lanxi replied: "How can we allow tigers and hungry wolves to sleep soundly beside our bed? Even if the Liu family is afraid of Zhou Qiwu and will not start a war right away, they will find a way to destroy the pirates later!"

She has facts to back it up.

"Every year, the Liu family asks the court for money and conscription on the pretext of suppressing pirates. If the news of Zhou Qiwu's collusion with pirates spreads, what will Your Majesty think?"

Sang Guo wrote a few words: "Zhou and Liu are relatives by marriage, officials and bandits are colluding, embezzling money to support the army!"

Shen Lanxi looked at Sang Guo and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, Your Majesty is always wary of the outflow of military power. How could he allow the Liu family to deliberately maintain an army?" Even if it was not intentional, so what?

If the superior person makes the judgment, the inferior person will not be able to explain himself even if he has mouths all over his body!

"Once the news gets out, it will be enough to cost the Liu family their lives!" Shen Lanxi said with certainty!

Everyone at Qinglan Academy nodded.

Shen Lanxi made an in-depth analysis: "This incident will become the Liu family's handle to hold Zhou Qiwu!" Holding Zhou Qiwu's handle is equivalent to holding the second prince's handle. If the Liu family takes advantage of it~

Cheng Zheng thought for a moment, picked up his pen and wrote: "The Liu family will definitely not have time to pursue us again!"

Shen Lanxi is already confident about this matter.

When the people from Qinglan Academy saw her nod, they all breathed a sigh of relief!

Although the danger of being pursued from behind has been eliminated, who can guarantee that there is no tiger in front?

She didn't want to pour cold water on these people at this moment, so she let them be happy for two days first!

"You have read military books and experienced the suppression of bandits. In the next few days, you should summarize the suppression of bandits and write a written report to me!"

Cheng Zheng rolled his eyes twice. He naturally understood that his lord was intentionally giving them some advice.

But he couldn't understand, since he was so smart, why did he still need these mute people like them as his advisers?

After Shen Lanxi assigned them the tasks, she went to the deck to watch the women from Liuzhao Village practice martial arts.

The women of Liuzhao Village also got a lot of spoils during this bandit suppression campaign. They became more and more convinced that if they became stronger, they could still survive in the world even without men!

After realizing this, they practiced martial arts even harder!

The two children had already cleaned up, a boy and a girl.

The women in Liuzhao Village have spontaneously chosen a leader these days. She is a woman in her thirties with dark skin and neatly dressed. Her name is Liu Tao.

Liu Tao saw Shen Lanxi coming over and stepped forward to report.

"The woman who saved them was kindhearted. In order to prevent the little girl from being discovered by the pirates, she kept shaving her head and letting her dress up as a boy!"

Shen Lanxi never underestimates any intelligent life.

“Keep an eye on them!”

Liu Tao recalled the first words Shen Lanxi said when she saw the two children, and understood what she meant.

"Yes!"

Shen Lanxi turned around to leave, Liu Tao hesitated and called out to stop her.

"My Lord, can we follow you?"
