Chapter 167 The fight started

The next moment, An Yi's cold laugh was heard in the room.

"Good boy, you didn't even tell me about this good thing."

While Lin Tingfeng was dodging Qiu Zongping's attack, he raised his leg and kicked him hard in the stomach, followed by an elbow strike to his chest.

Lin Tingfeng almost fainted from the pain. He opened his mouth and made a hoarse sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

An Yi even took the time to shout outside, "Princess, please stay away. Don't let the blood splash on you and stain your clothes."

Song Yanxi tightened her fox fur coat and silently took a few steps back.

She comforted herself in her heart that An Yi was always cautious in his work. Since he could think of shutting Lin Tingfeng's mouth as soon as he entered and leaving him with no way to seek help, he would definitely spare his life.

It would be too easy for him to just beat him to death.

The muffled groans in the room came one after another, each one smaller and smaller. In the end, no sound was heard, only the sound of fists and feet hitting flesh.

Worried that something might really happen, Song Yanxi was about to speak when she heard the sound of a door being opened "creak" from not far away.

Doctor Liu, wearing his outer coat, poked his head out and asked, "What's all the commotion?"

A voice came from another room, "Could it be a thief? Lao Xu, let's get up and take a look."

After a rustling sound, the door of another room was opened, and three people gathered together and walked quickly towards the room, holding lanterns.

After seeing the situation inside the house clearly, Doctor Liu's face immediately darkened and he shouted outside, "Hurry, someone, there's a burglar in the general's house!"

After he finished yelling, he didn't forget to shout at Song Yanxi: "What are you still standing there for? Hide behind me quickly."

Seeing that she didn't respond, he couldn't help but cough twice.

Hearing the familiar cough, Song Yanxi trotted over quickly, pinched herself hard with the hand hidden under the fox fur, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

Looking at his expression, he was obviously very frightened.

Doctor Liu stamped his foot and cursed, "What a daring thief! He even dared to break into the General's Mansion! He's truly so bold!"

The other two military doctors also echoed and cursed, each one louder than the other, as if they were afraid that people outside could not hear them.

Soon, flames shot up into the sky outside the yard.

Xu Xiao walked in front holding a knife, followed by Cheng Duan and others who were only wearing middle clothes. The group entered the yard in a menacing manner.

The small yard was filled with people in the blink of an eye.

Just looking at the situation, if there really was a thief in the yard, he would be scared to death on the spot.

The firelight illuminated the situation inside the house.

The person being beaten was lying on the ground with his back facing outwards. From his figure, it could be vaguely seen that he was a man. He curled up his body to avoid the rain of fists.

"Damn it!" Xu Xiao cursed softly, strode into the house, and without saying a word, kicked Lin Tingfeng hard in the waist.

He had just seen his eldest niece today, and before he could say a word, this thief had the audacity to break into her room in the middle of the night.

Fortunately, nothing happened, otherwise, even if he were skinned alive, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Xu Xiao thought about it and kicked him twice more.

Lin Tingfeng rolled forward half a circle due to inertia, struggled to open his swollen eyelids, and spat out a mouthful of blood foam.

His vision was blurry, and he mumbled, "General Xu..."

Xu Xiao raised his leg and kicked again, angrily saying, "Since you know this general, you are committing this crime knowingly!"

He turned and ordered the soldiers outside, "Come here, arrest this thief who is trying to steal and bring him to the authorities."

"Xu Xiao!" When Lin Tingfeng heard that he was going to be sent to the government, he immediately regained some strength.

He is a general of Da'an and has even served as a garrison commander of a border town. If he is brought before the authorities for some ridiculous charge of theft, where will he put his face?

Xu Xiao finally realized that his voice was wrong, so he moved closer to take a look and was immediately startled.

"Lin..." Xu Xiao swallowed the rest of his words and changed his tone, "This thief is a repeat offender. He is truly despicable. I will hand him over to this general for personal trial."

Everyone in the courtyard shouted in unison: "I obey your orders!"

It was freezing cold, and everyone rubbed their arms and was eager to go back to sleep, but Cheng Duan always felt something was wrong.

Why did that voice just now sound so familiar...

No, he had to go over and see which little thief dared to call General Xu's name directly and refused to change his ways despite repeated warnings.

"Hey, General Cheng, what are you doing?" Military Doctor Liu stopped him with a smile.

Cheng Duan blurted out, "I will go in and help General Xu."

"As for the three of them, you can rest assured that they will not let that ignorant thief get away."

"I'm not..."

Before Cheng Duan could finish his words, Doctor Liu said, "Ouch, I was probably walking too fast just now and twisted my ankle without paying attention."

Doctor Xu said, "How could you be so careless? Come on, get on my back. I'll carry you back to rest."

Seeing that Doctor Xu, whose beard was half white, was going to carry Doctor Liu, whose beard was even whiter than his, Cheng Duan quickly volunteered to do it.

There are not many experienced military doctors in the army. If two more people fall, who will treat the soldiers if a fight breaks out with the Liang army in two days?

Doctor Liu looked embarrassed, "This, this is so inappropriate."

"What's inappropriate about this? Please come up quickly."

Before Cheng Duan carried Doctor Liu on his back and left, he turned to look at Song Yanxi and said in a deep voice, "Cheng has also been staying at the General's Mansion for the past few days. If the princess needs anything, just let me know."

Song Yanxi smiled lightly and nodded, and when he turned around, she bowed in the direction where the military doctors left.

Doctor Xu happened to turn around, waved at her, and turned away.

After returning to the room, a few people found excuses to delay Cheng Duan for half an incense stick of time before letting him leave.

Doctor Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Old Liu, you are indeed a man of youthful spirit. You are as kind-hearted as you were when you were young."

"Stop mocking me here. You two old bastards, you're usually woken up by a rat crawling across your bed. Did you drink some tranquilizing soup or light some incense before going to bed?"

The three of them looked at each other, stroked their beards in tacit understanding, and smiled.

Thinking of something, Doctor Liu's expression turned serious. "It's rare to meet a girl with such great medical skills and a kind heart. You two old guys should stop bullying her."

"Bullying?" Doctor Xu shook his head. "Brother, don't you know who we are?"

"She squeezed out all those promising young talents before, and now this has happened again. Given her temper, I'm afraid she won't tolerate it."

The two military doctors' faces darkened: "She dares!"

Zhuang Shihan was originally sulking in her room. When she heard the noise in the yard, a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. However, she kept a straight face and snorted coldly, "You still remember to come back!"

She had just kicked the mirror when she entered the room, and then she realized that she had smashed a box of rouge when she was angry. The four corners were pointed, and even if there was no bleeding, it would definitely hurt.

No wonder Brother Feng was so angry.

But even if she was wrong, it was his fault if he just walked away in anger, and it was impossible for him to coax her.

There was a knock on the door, and a strange male voice came from outside, "Princess Shihan, please go over and take a look! Several drunk generals are fighting in the front yard!"
