Xie Jingxi's suggestion was timely, Sheng Luan and Gu Yun felt that she really had too much of a tacit understanding, such a good idea, why didn't they think of it?

In truth, Xie Jingxi had her own plans, she felt that she would need to learn it sooner or later. At the very least, there would be foreign books that would be sent over, and she wouldn't be blinded by them.

From the roots, the two of them were not people who liked to read books. The little girl did not want to be a talented girl in the future, so it would be easier for her if she was called a little girl. Therefore, Gu Xiaoyu had played around like crazy for almost four years and could not even understand a single word of it.

Even Sheng Tong was able to teach her a lesson. Since they had started to learn how to read, it would be better if they could learn English together, and teach Martin his crappy Chinese, a method to kill birds with one stone.

However, Xie Jingxi knew that Gu Yun and Sheng Luan were planning to do something else in their hearts. After the two of them returned to their room, they asked him, ”You can't be thinking of letting Martin secretly sell firearms to you, right?”

Just with Martin's mouth, we wouldn't be able to do this. We won't do this kind of thing that can't be exposed to the public, what we want is technology, what we create is the right path.

Gu Yun pulled her to a seat and explained in detail, ”Let me put it this way, Sheng Luan and the King Jin have never been ambitious in military matters. Let's not talk about it first, the things that Sheng Luan has been thinking about for the past few years, the way he wants to build his own navy, from ships to weapons, then to the training of soldiers and generals, all of this needs to be at the top, he is good at everything except ships and firearms, this is not something that can be developed just because he wants to develop.

This time, Xie Jingxi completely understood that Sheng Luan had immersed himself in the ocean for many years, and knew that it was extremely difficult for his to become as skilled as other people. Such a strong person, if she wanted to establish his own army, this was something he understood, there was no lack of foreigners in Guangdong in the recent years, so it was not a problem to find someone to translate a few books, but the root of it was that these sort of technology-type secrets, the most fundamental parts of them would not easily spread across the entire world.

Furthermore, since Sheng Luan developed his skills privately, he had to find someone he could trust. Although this Martin might not have much use, but he was still a trustworthy person. With him around, it would be much more convenient to use him, and he might not even have any use for it.

”How did you know Martin? After not seeing him for so many years, aren't you afraid that he has ulterior motives?”

Speaking of which, Gu Yun wanted to laugh and worry, so he cleared his throat, ”Well, let's talk about this, we need to talk about your man's story, I originally wanted to tell you about it slowly, but since we've started, it doesn't matter, I did go out to sea a few times before, and I've gone to the places with good fortune before.”

Xie Jingxi raised her eyebrows, ”It's deep enough for you, to be able to make me look at you in such a way, are you afraid that the days will get stale, and you will keep it to provoke me?”

Gu Yun pursed his lips and laughed, ”Someone who knows me, Xi, since there will be too many people following behind you, I will drag you to Xi Yang.”

”Cut the crap, why aren't you summoning them from the dark!”

”Martin is a slave, their side's slaves, they are similar to our side's slaves, but their tragic location can't be described as the same. Their generations are slaves, their lives are like grass, their physical bodies are all suffering, they are a group of people that will live their entire lives in darkness, it can be considered a coincidence that they can save Martin, but in their hearts, they all have an extremely strong belief, in his words, I saved him, he is willing to be my slave for the rest of his life. Although I don't need him to be a slave, but I believe in his words.”

Martin seemed to be a little naive. This kind of innocence was not that simple, but it was because his stomach was not twisted at all, making the knowledge of life that she had come into contact with run in completely opposite directions. He was not a person from the world that she had come into contact with, and such a person's passion and sincerity was still worth trusting.

Xie Jingxi looked at him, ”No, that's not the main point. The main point is, how could you be so daring?

Gu Yun laughed, ”You don't know, but I am not like now, these things are nothing in my eyes, and are not taboo to me at all. Furthermore, I used to be in the south at that time, and I had nothing to do, it was purely to relieve my boredom by going out to sea, as for those overseas things, I did dabble in them, but they were all just small fights and were not worth mentioning.”

already said that Gu Yun did not have much talent in business, why is he so rich at such a young age, to actually earn so much money, really going along with Master Gu's life plan.
