The one-eyed man shook his head: "No, you have no choice but to accept it or... die."

Jiang Lili widened her eyes, grabbed Xin Che's sleeve tightly, and looked like she was about to cry out of fear.

One played the good cop, the other the bad cop. The young man next to the one-eyed man then softly advised, "Actually, if you don't cooperate with us and just do business with the Haikui City military camp normally, you'll be at a huge disadvantage. You'll only make money from these sheep."

Xin Che thought for a moment and understood what the young man meant, but he still put on a puzzled look, "Brother, what do you mean?"

When the young man heard Xin Che ask this, he knew that Xin Che was interested. He said, "If the three princes and princesses start fighting, Haikui City will inevitably be affected. You might even be stranded in Nanzhao because of the fighting. When things get chaotic, there will be no peace. You outsiders are unfamiliar with Nanzhao, and if you're not careful, you might even lose your lives."

The young man emphasized the last sentence, which made people feel nervous.

Xin Jiajun's face showed panic at the right time: "Then, what should we do? The business has been negotiated, and the ship is about to arrive in Haikui City."

The young man was just waiting for them to panic so that he could continue to cast his bait: "It will be different if you help our master. Our master can protect you and allow you to leave Nanzhao safely. When our master unifies Nanzhao, you can continue to come back and do business."

"By then, with the foundation of our previous cooperation, we will give you priority when there are opportunities to make money."

When Jiang Lili heard this, her eyes lit up and she asked in a naive tone, "Really?"

After saying this, she seemed to realize that she was too anxious and shrank back into Xin Che's arms.

The young man couldn't help laughing at Jiang Lili's greedy and timid appearance, and smiled at her in a friendly manner: "Of course it's true. When the new king ascends the throne, he also needs to purchase supplies from farmers like you to stabilize the overall situation."

The young man had a bright look and rosy lips and white teeth when he smiled. He was tall and had fewer injuries on his body than the others. He was obviously well protected. He was probably the military advisor of Baizhishan among this group of people.

Xin Che blocked his gaze from Jiang Lili and said, "I have a question."

The young man raised an eyebrow. He knew that the man opposite him was not as easy to fool as others. "Speak, sir."

Xin Che looked at him intently. "Your master is so powerful, why are you so badly injured and look like you're on the run?"

The one-eyed man was furious when he heard this: "Because there was a traitor among us, our plan was exposed, and we were hunted by the Second Princess's men."

"But don't worry, the traitors have been eliminated now. The reinforcements sent by our master will meet us in Anemone City tomorrow morning."

"It's just that it's hard to get rid of our tail, so we fled to the sea."

Xin Che showed a look of understanding: "We have no choice but to cooperate with you, but I hope you can ensure the safety of everyone on our ship."

The young man nodded when he saw Xin Che holding the young lady in his arms tightly. He admired such a man of integrity and dignity.

"Don't worry, when we take action, our people will stay by the girl's side and keep her safe."

It is both protection and threat.

Xin Che nodded and put on a look of compromise.

At this time, the deputy general Xu Zishen, who played the role of the leader, asked his doubts: "My brothers, are you going to send us sheep, or are you going to send us male concubines?"

The young man looked at Xu Zishen and said firmly: "I want to give you the sheep and the male concubine as well!"

@Su Rui: Has anyone asked for my opinion?

@Jiang Lili: Just give in! Just treat this as an adventure game!

@Su Rui: I, Su Rui, have lived a carefree life, a man of unwavering integrity. How could I possibly commit myself to being a male concubine and using my beauty to seduce others?

The young man walked up to Su Rui and looked at his exotic face with interest: "I know best what style the Second Princess likes. Our people will dress you up well when the time comes."

Jiang Lili, Xin Che and the Xin family army all focused their attention on Su Rui, hoping that this guy would not reveal any flaws.

After a moment, everyone saw Su Rui revealing a smile that was seven parts shy and three parts joyful, and his tone of half-reluctance was just right, "Actually... I'm still a little unprepared."

Combined with his exotic face, he has a special charm.

Jiang Lili and the others were shocked.

The young man smiled brightly: "You will definitely win the princess's favor!"

@Jiang Lili: Didn't you just say "iron-willed"? I feel like your acting as the male favorite is absolutely flawless!

[@Su Rui: Don't look at me like that. It's because I used to use similar methods to assassinate tribal leaders when I was in the desert.]

After the discussion, the atmosphere eased.

Jiang Lili found medical supplies for treating wounds. Except for the small bottles of medicine filled with Yunnan Baiyao, all other items for treating wounds were commonly used by ancient people.

The one-eyed man and others took the items sent by Jiang Lili and expressed their gratitude.

When Jiang Lili was delivering medical supplies, she took the opportunity to take pictures of these people's facial features and sent them to Sheng Zhixing, asking him to see if he had seen them before.

It was early morning and Sheng Zhixing had not responded yet.

Jiang Lili yawned, took some mutton soup buns to share with these people, and then went back to the cabin to sleep.

Xin Che and Xin's army took turns paying attention to the movements outside.

The one-eyed man and his group also took turns to rest. They looked like they hadn't slept for a long time, and those who could rest were sleeping soundly.

When Jiang Lili woke up the next morning, she could already see the dock of Anemone City from the deck of the ship.

Everyone on the boat has woken up.

Seeing Jiang Lili coming out of the cabin, the one-eyed man couldn't wait to come up to Jiang Lili and ask, "Miss, where did you buy this wound medicine? We applied it last night, and when we woke up this morning, the wound didn't hurt anymore. The medicine is really effective!"

Xin Che walked over to Jiang Lili and said to the one-eyed man, "This trauma medicine is made from an ancient recipe passed down from my wife's family through a special process. Only my wife knows how to make it."

The one-eyed man understood what he said. "I see! I wonder how much of this trauma medicine is left on board? Can you sell it all to us?"

Jiang Lili thought for a moment, her eyes rolling. "What I gave you yesterday was the full amount, but if you need it, you can also buy herbs in Nanzhao Haikui City, and then I will make it for you."

The one-eyed man nodded excitedly: "Okay, any amount of silver you want is fine! We'll buy as much as you can make!"

At this time, another person came up and asked, "Girl, who made this mutton soup bun?"
