Forced into a substitute marriage? The concubine’s unparalleled medical skills amaze the world

The boat was shaking violently and the sound of hurried footsteps was heard.

Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan quickly put on their clothes and went to the deck.

When the old boatman saw the two of them coming out, his face suddenly changed: "Master and Madam, please go in quickly!"

They both look conspicuous, so it’s not appropriate for them to come out at this time!

If those pirates saw us, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.

Now with the Xu family helping in the negotiations, once the terms are agreed upon, those bandits will definitely leave.

If they come out, who knows what might happen.

Those pirates are not just after money, they will not let go of beautiful women.

Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si looked at each other. Neither of them wanted to go in and hide, but under the old boatman's insistence, they couldn't refuse his kindness and had to go in.

Fortunately, both of them had good martial arts skills and they heard every word of the conversation outside.

Xu Ning had known for a long time that there were pirates in this area, and he had made preparations.

They had dealt with this many times and had already prepared ways to deal with it. The pirates robbed for money.

He calmly carried out a box of silver, and then said humbly and politely: "Thank you for your hard work."

"Use this money to drink."

The leader of the pirates got from the small boat to the Xu family’s big boat.

He grabbed the silver with his hands and threw it down casually: "The eldest son of the Xu family knows the rules."

“No wonder the business is so big.”

"It's just that we want more than just silver today."

"We are a group of grown men who spend a lot of time on the water, and we also want a beautiful woman to accompany us."

"I heard that Miss Xu, the sister of the eldest son of the Xu family, is very beautiful. I think she is a perfect match for me."

"If I become a relative of the Xu family in the future, how about I keep the Xu family safe on this waterway?"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ning's face suddenly darkened.

If the money was not enough he could add more, but asking him to send his sister away was simply wishful thinking.

These people are really shameless.

Not to mention his identity as a pirate, just his age is twenty years older than his sister.

Yan'er is only sixteen now!

How could he say it!

Xu Ning suppressed his anger and continued to speak in a gentle voice: "If you think the money is too little, I can add more."

This refusal immediately made Wu Yong's face darken: "Xu family's eldest son is really shameless, isn't he!"

"I said I want the lady from the Xu family!"

After saying this, he looked at Xu Ning with disdain and said, "As for the silver, all the goods and silver on this ship today will be considered Miss Xu's dowry!"

He then looked at Xu Ning threateningly and said, "I hope Master Xu will know what's best for the times and not lose his wife and his soldiers. Losing your life would be terrible!"

The naked threat immediately made Xu Ning's face turn angry.

Putting aside other things, Yan'er is his sister, and as a brother, he would rather die than let his sister marry such a man.

Moreover, he is a member of the Xu family. If he does such a thing today, the Xu family’s business will not be able to continue in the future.

Xu Ning couldn't rely on his sister for a chance to survive.

What's more, this person is a pirate. Once the Xu family has anything to do with him, it will be like being stuck with a dog-skin plaster and cannot be shaken off.

This is absolutely not allowed.

Xu Yan, who was hiding inside, heard the conversation outside and was so scared that tears came out.

He was a pirate. If her brother gave her to him, she would probably be tortured to death in a few days.

Xu Yan had tears in her eyes and dared not say a word.

Xu Ning had brought a lot of guards with him, and when he saw that the talks were not going to work out, he stopped talking.

Xu Ning said coldly: "Even if I die today, I will not agree to this."

Wu Yong's face trembled, he spat on the ground and said fiercely: "Since you don't want to drink my toast, I will kill you today!"

"When the time comes, these goods, money and your sister will also belong to me!"

"Brothers, do it!"

Xu Ning calculated in his mind that he brought a lot of people with him, but there were only about ten people on Wu Yong's two small boats.

It would be no problem if they robbed some small boats, but for a situation like theirs where the guards were dozens of people, it was hard to say who would win or lose.

At the beginning, Xu Ning thought it would be better to negotiate and spend some money to solve the problem, but now these people are asking for such a huge amount of money, so there is no need to negotiate anymore!

When Wu Yong's voice fell, Xu Ning took a step back, and the guards on the ship also stood up one after another.

Wu Yong glanced at these people and sneered: "Wow, there are so many people. It seems that Master Xu was well prepared. No wonder he is so tough."

"Do you think that I, Wu Yong, am stupid because I have lived on the water for so many years?"

After saying this, he put his hand to his mouth and blew hard, and then a terrifying scene appeared.

Clusters of fire began to light up on the misty water.

More than ten ships slowly appeared in everyone's sight and then slowly approached.

Wu Yong glanced at Xu Ning coldly: "Mr. Xu, how are you now?"

"I'll give you another chance!"

Xu Ning frowned. Just now he was thinking of winning by numbers, but now it seems impossible.

Seeing Xu Ning not saying anything, Wu Yong quickly lost his patience. He frowned and said, "Do it!"

"Brothers, take down the Xu family's boat. We will definitely return with a full load today!"

At this time, on the small boat that Jiang Si was traveling with, the old boatman swallowed in horror as he looked at the scene in front of him.

Seeing that the pirates' attention was all on the Xu family's boat, he had an unkind idea in his mind.

He wanted to escape under the cover of night.

The Xu family has a lot of money, and the bandits are all focused on that, so they naturally can't care about them. Now is the best time to escape.

A fight had broken out on the Xu family's ship. The Xu family's guards were no match for the pirates in terms of numbers or ferocity.

So they soon fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, the old boatman quickly and carefully turned the boat around and sailed back while the bandits were not paying attention.

At this point, I can't care about anything else. It's great enough to be able to save my life.

As soon as the boat started to shake, Zhou Jingxuan and Jiang Si came out.

When the old captain saw the two people coming out, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Master and Madam, why are you here?"

"Hurry up and hide inside. We have to leave before these pirates find us!"

"Otherwise we won't be able to escape in a while!"

He was afraid that Jiang Si and Zhou Jingxuan would feel burdened, so he whispered, "We can't act on impulse now. Saving our lives is the most important thing."

"All of us can only die in vain."

Jiang Si knew that the old boatman was doing this for their own good. Before they could say anything, they saw a boat approaching: "There's another boat here!"

In the light of the fire, the pirates looked particularly terrifying.

The old boatman's face suddenly fell: "Oh, it's over now, we can't leave!"
