The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince
Chapter 545 Recruitment
Someone's eyes flickered, but no one knew what he was thinking. However, before Lu Wentian, who was sitting at the main seat, could speak, Lu Zhaoyun spoke up at this moment:
"Brother, I think this is feasible! Life on the sea is hard, and we have to worry all day long. If we can have peace and security, it would be the best. What do you think, brother?"
Having said that, Lu Zhaoyun looked at Lu Wentian and the two exchanged glances.
This look seemed very secretive, and others might not be able to see it, but Jiang Fan had already seen it.
Hearing this, Lu Wentian smiled and said quickly, "My little sister is right. In fact, when my adoptive father was alive, he had thought about recruiting us, but the imperial court did not want to! Now that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has asked for our help, I, on behalf of Chongming Island, am willing to accept the offer!"
Just as he finished speaking, an old man sitting below Lu Zhaoyun suddenly stood up and said coldly: "No... I don't agree with this. The Chongming bandits are the hard work of the old boss. When the old boss was alive, I never heard that he wanted to recruit them."
"Lu Wentian, if you dare to destroy the hard work of the old master, don't blame me for being ruthless. Even if you are the new island master, I will fight you to the death."
As he suddenly stood up, two old men stood up beside him, glaring at Lu Wentian and saying, "Lu Wentian, you are not in the right position to be the island master. You are not qualified to decide the future of Chongming Island."
"That's right, the future of Chongming Island should be decided by the new island owner... and also by us old people!"
At this point, the three old men glared at Jiang Fan at the same time, and one of them said coldly: "Humph... I think you, the King of Qin, are probably a fake. The imperial court has always looked down on pirates like us. When will they come to recruit us!"
"No matter what your intentions are, don't let me find out, otherwise... don't blame me for being rude to you!"
As soon as he said this, Lu Wentian, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly shouted coldly, "Huang Shenping, shut up. I respect you as an elder and I have been tolerant of you again and again, but that doesn't mean you can be presumptuous. You dare to openly question His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin, what exactly is your intention!"
Although Lu Wentian also doubted Jiang Fan's identity, Zhang Tong knew that he was definitely not the kind of person who would act recklessly, and would not bring the enemy to the island.
Furthermore, no matter whether the other party is real or fake, he just needs to adapt to the situation. If the other party is fake, then the other party will not even be able to leave the island.
But these three people suddenly attacked at this time, obviously wanting to sabotage. If the King of Qin was true, based on his words and actions, the plan to recruit him might be in vain.
For Lu Wentian, of course he wanted to be recruited. Or rather, many people wanted to be recruited. If it were in the past, there would not be many people who wanted to be recruited.
After all, they were used to the days at sea. But now they were facing the encirclement and suppression of Japanese pirates and two bandits, and the only way out was to surrender.
Almost everyone present knew about it, but these three people came out to cause trouble. He couldn't help but doubt their motives.
Fortunately, apart from these three people, no one else stood up. Lu Wentian looked at Lu Zhaoyun, and the two exchanged glances again.
The man called Huang Shenping was about to speak again, but Lu Zhaoyun suddenly said, "Uncle Huang, if you have anything to say, let's talk after this is over... If you say anything more, your niece will have to ask you to leave!"
As soon as she said this, the man who was called Huang Bo looked at Lu Wentian hatefully, then looked at Jiang Fan, snorted coldly, and turned away! The other two old men saw this and hurriedly followed her out.
Watching the three people leave, Jiang Fan's eyes showed a playful look, and he whispered a few words to Qing Lingxiu's ear. Qing Lingxiu nodded and followed him out.
Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun looked at Jiang Fan in confusion. For a moment they didn't know what Jiang Fan meant, but they didn't say much.
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!" Lu Wentian looked at Jiang Fan, a trace of guilt on his face. His men suddenly made trouble and were disrespectful to Jiang Fan. It was really embarrassing.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Fan smiled faintly and waved his hand.
Although Lu Wentian was apologizing, his sincerity was obviously insufficient. If he really felt guilty, he should have arrested those three people.
Of course, he may have his own difficulties. No matter what, those three people are elderly people. No matter how powerful he is, if he touches the elderly, it will inevitably cause fear and dissatisfaction among others.
Even Lu Zhaoyun was afraid that he couldn't move those three people. If they could, the two siblings wouldn't just communicate with their eyes. Jiang Fanyin saw a hint of helplessness in their eyes.
At the same time, outside the cave, Qing Lingxiu came out. She did not see the three people who left. With a cold light flashing in her eyes, she said to the leader of the white-robed army: "It may take some time for His Highness to discuss matters. His Highness is worried that you will be hungry, so he asked me to tell you to leave ten people on duty and the rest to return to the ship."
As she said this, the white-robed soldiers were slightly stunned, but when they met Qing Lingxiu's eyes, the leading white-robed army captain nodded. He pointed out ten people, and the rest were commanded by him to leave the cave and return the same way.
It was completely dark at this time, but under the moonlight, the way forward could still be seen clearly.
After watching the white-robed soldiers leave, Qing Lingxiu led the remaining ten people back. In another corner not far away, the three people who had just left looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.
"Old Huang, do you think that guy is really the King of Qin? What does it mean that he suddenly asked his guards to leave?" One of the three asked Huang Shenping.
Huang Shenping frowned and shook his head when he heard this.
"That guy should be the King of Qin without a doubt. Those warships might have been manufactured by the Chaichuan Shipyard. However, regardless of whether he is the King of Qin or not, it is a foregone conclusion that the Lu brothers and sisters want to recruit them. If we don't do something, our mission will fail!"
"Well, what Old Huang said is right. We had fooled the two siblings around, but unexpectedly, they agreed on the issue of recruiting them. If that's the case, why don't we just go all out!"
Another person spoke up.
"Anyway, we are already prepared, so why not launch the attack in advance? I have already convinced many people. Besides, they may be able to attack tonight, and if we act in advance, we can help them!"
When the three of them said this, they looked at each other and nodded. Then, the three figures disappeared.
At this time, in the meeting room of the cave, Lu Wentian and Lu Zhaoyun were talking happily with Jiang Fan. The two siblings were asking about Jiang Fan's arrangements for them after the amnesty, as well as their requests for the amnesty.
Judging from their attitude, they really wanted to surrender. Jiang Fan could understand their thoughts. Facing the attack from the Japanese pirates and the two bandits, their only choice was to surrender.
