"Sister Xi, you are looking down on me now. I, Xia Yan, will never betray my sisters!"
Xia Yan spoke sternly and rejected Xi on the spot. She would not be easily won over by Xi.
"Sister Yan, don't be so excited."
Xi didn't panic at all and said: "Sister Yan, think about it carefully, is it better to stand with me or with them?"
She said again: "Also, what do you mean by sisters? Are you real sisters? I once heard that you were fighting non-stop at the beginning, but later you stood together because of me."
Xia Yan wanted to refute, but had no words to refute.
Because what Xi said is true.
When there was no Xi, the fight between her, Luo Shui, and Ling Yin never stopped, and she was the one who always suffered the loss. She was defeated by Luo Shui and Ling Yin every time, and she couldn't compete with Luo Shui and Ling Yin. .
She, Luo Shui, and Ling Yin were not really good sisters.
At the same time, without Xi's appearance, the three of them would never have united together, and they would probably still be fighting each other now!
"Also, Sister Yan, what is your purpose of being with them?"
Xi smiled and said: "Sister Yan, if you stand with me, wouldn't it be better to achieve what you want? Why do you have to stand with them!"
After listening to what Xi said, to be honest, Xia Yan was moved.
She joined the 'Love Alliance' with the natural purpose of becoming a regular member, although whether she can become a regular member in the end depends on her husband's wishes.
However, if she can be recognized by Xi, the empress of the palace, it will definitely be of great help to her.
Comparatively speaking, Xi's side has an advantage over Luo Shui and Ling Yin's side.
"Are you going to betray me and finally cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
Xia Yan stared at Xi and expressed her worries. She was afraid that Xi would turn around and betray her.
"How is that possible, Sister Yan!"
Xi smiled and said: "Sister Yan, you are overthinking. Furthermore, assuming you succeed, are you sure that Luoshui and Ling Yin will not tear down the bridge or kill the donkey when you cross the river? So, Sister Yan, Why can you trust them but not me?"
She was sensible and moved with emotion, and Xia Yan really didn't have that much on her mind. In the end, Xia Yan was persuaded by her and agreed to stand by her side.
This was also the reason why she chose Xia Yan. Compared with Luo Shui and Ling Yin, Xia Yan was easier to persuade and didn't have so many thoughts. If it were Luo Shui and Ling Yin, she would definitely not be so successful in persuading them. Simple.
Besides, even if the persuasion was successful, she still couldn't believe Luo Shui and Ling Yin.
Luo Shui and Ling Yin are too narrow-minded. Who knows if they really want to stand with her? If they just pretend to cooperate with her and stab her in the back, that will be troublesome.
"This is the right thing! Sister Yan, we...have a happy cooperation!"
Xi was very happy that she had not watched "The Art of War" in vain!
At the same time, Li Jiudao, Luo Shui and Ling Yin were fishing by the beautiful lake.
"Luo Shui, come here, I have something to tell you."
Ling Yin walked to Luo Shui and whispered to Luo Shui.
"OK."
Luo Shui stood up and came to the side with Ling Yin.
"What are you doing again?"
Li Jiudao was helpless when he saw this scene. As expected, the fight between women started again.
"No matter what, I can't control it, fishing, fishing..."
He withdrew his gaze and concentrated on catching his fish. It was better for him not to get involved in the fight between women, otherwise, he would easily become the target of criticism!
"What's wrong?"
After coming to the side, Luo Shui asked Ling Yin.
Ling Yin frowned and said suspiciously, "Luo Shui, I always feel something is wrong. I seem to have fallen into Xi's trap..."
Then she expressed her doubts.
"You think, Xi dislikes fishing the most and can't stay for a moment, but she proposed that Mr. come over here to fish. And Xi also knows very well that we will not miss such an opportunity and will definitely come over and fish together."
Ling Yin said: "This feels very strange to me. Why does it feel like Xi is deliberately helping us?"
She was very thoughtful, and when she came here, she felt something was wrong and suspected there was fraud.
"This..."
Luo Shui laughed, without any nervousness or worry, and said confidently: "You are right, this is indeed a trap set by Xi."
"ah?"
Ling Yin was stunned, and then asked: "Is it really a trap? But what is the purpose of setting a trap for her? I don't see anything disadvantageous to us!"
As she was talking, she suddenly realized something and said with wide eyes, "Is it related to Xia Yan?"
According to what Luo Shui said, this was a trap set by Xi. Both she and Luo Shui were fine, so there was only one possibility left, which was... Xia Yan!
"right!"
Luo Shui smiled and said: "When something goes wrong, there must be a demon. If my guess is correct, Xi should have started to use the thirty-sixth strategy."
"Ah, what are the thirty-six strategies?" Ling Yin frowned, having never heard of the thirty-six strategies.
"Thirty-Six Strategies, "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, Mr.'s collection of books."
Luo Shui smiled and said: "A few days ago, I unexpectedly saw Xi holding Mr. Xi's collection of books, "The Art of War". He was reading it with gusto. Such an abnormal thing happened again today. I realized it immediately. Xi may have to use thirty-six strategies."
Later, she told Ling Yin in detail what the Thirty-Six Strategies were.
"So awesome!"
Ling Yin was shocked by the Thirty-six Strategies, and then said worriedly: "Xi used the Thirty-Six Strategies, so how should we respond?"
"Calm down, don't panic."
Luo Shui laughed and said: "I have already read through Sir's collection of books, especially "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. I was very interested in it at the beginning. For this reason, I even asked Sir for detailed information." He explained to me the thirty-six strategies."
She said with a bit of pride: "It is no exaggeration to say that with the guidance of my husband, I know the Thirty-Six Stratagems like the back of my hand!"
"In my opinion, Xi should use them separately - the plan to attack the east and attack the west, and the plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
She continued: "Also, these two tactics she used should be to pave the way for countermeasures."
"Countermeasures?"
Ling Yin's eyes glowed and she said, "You mean that Xi is going to use counter-measures against Xia Yan? To win over Xia Yan and make Xia Yan become our undercover agent?"
"If I guessed correctly, it should be like this." Luo Shui nodded.
"When you said that, I suddenly understood and understood everything!"
Ling Yin said: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"Xi, thirty-six strategies, many strategies were used, but I only used one!"
Luo Shui smiled and had already thought about how to deal with it.
"Which plan?" Ling Yin asked.
"Use the trick!"
