Chapter 405: Mr. Liu has to go this far?

"No need. Maybe there is some important military affairs. Don't delay the important things." Song Yanxi politely refused.

She didn't know if she was being overly suspicious, but she always felt that there was something strange in the way the waiter at the post station looked at her.

It didn't seem like he was sizing her up, but more like he was staring at her warily, as if he was afraid that she would notice something.

Before Song Yanxi had time to think about it, she caught a glimpse of two figures coming in from the door, and a smile instantly appeared in her eyes.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Li."

Doctor Liu rushed in, sat down at the table, and waved, "Two bowls of hot noodle soup, please. My noodles should be wider and thinner, and the other bowl should be as thin as possible. Old Li likes this."

Doctor Li glanced at him and sat down silently.

Seeing Song Yanxi still standing aside, Old Liu glared and asked, "Princess, what's the point of standing there? Are you trying to get rid of her?"

Song Yanxi chuckled helplessly, walked over to sit across from him, and asked, "Is Mr. Liu still angry with me?"

Doctor Liu raised his eyebrows and said in a sarcastic tone, "How dare I be angry with the princess? The princess is not only a great contributor to our border town, but also the prince's lifesaver.

When we return to the capital, I’m afraid the threshold of the Princess’s Mansion will be trampled down.”

He looked at Doctor Li standing beside him and said quietly, "If we two old fellows hadn't relied on our old faces to force our way in, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be qualified to see the princess."

After hearing these words, Song Yanxi felt sweat pouring down her back.

She felt that she should at least defend herself.

If she continued to talk like this, she would be labeled as a heartless and ungrateful villain who would destroy the bridge after crossing it.

She forced a smile and said, "Mr. Liu is mistaken..."

Doctor Liu raised his hand, as if to say, "Don't tell me anything, I understand everything." He sighed heavily and said, "I should have known earlier that peasants like us shouldn't marry a princess."

He pulled out a few books from his sleeve helplessly, put them heavily on the table, and said: "These are the medical books that the princess lent me before. I don't know when we will see them again. Princess, please take them back.

I appreciate your kindness."

Song Yanxi raised her eyebrows and feigned anger, "Master Liu, do you have to go to such lengths?"

Doctor Li, standing by, quickly spoke up to persuade her, "Brother, please cut your slack. The princess is a loyal and righteous person. How could she be the kind of ruthless and despicable person you're describing?"

The corner of Doctor Liu's mouth twitched, and he suppressed a smile and said, "The princess is of noble status, and we are not of the same kind. Why do you have to get together with us?"

He frowned and looked at the waiter who had not left the room. He said with a dark face, "After all, we work together. The princess wouldn't be so reluctant to give up even two bowls of noodles."

Song Yanxi glanced at the man, and he quickly apologized and left.

After the other person walked away, Doctor Liu still said loudly, "I have some things to do, so I won't be escorting the princess out of the city today."

Song Yanxi picked up a "medical book" and turned a page. The first line that caught her eye was Lin Tingfeng's name and his actions.

Every detail, no matter how big or small.

It is clearly recorded that less than half a year after he arrived in the border town, he carried out drastic reforms on the border troops.

It is called innovation.

The so-called Chen he mentioned was not the old military regulations, but the confidants that Mo Jinchuan had cultivated over the years.

If the current situation wasn't inappropriate, Song Yanxi really wanted to ask where Lin Tingfeng got the courage from.

Thinking of what Old Li had mentioned before, that Old Liu had always been worried about his newborn grandson, Song Yanxi asked softly, "Is Old Liu really not going back to Beijing with us this time?"

Doctor Liu waved his hand and said impatiently, "No, no, it takes a month to go back and forth. My old bones can't stand it."

In fact, according to Da'an custom, the three old brothers have reached the age to retire and enjoy their grandchildren.

However, under the control of Lin Tingfeng and Zhuang Shihan, the border army has not had any outstanding military doctors in the past two years.

Looking at those cucumber eggs, they couldn't help but feel uneasy and put the safety of the border soldiers in their hands.

After spending time together day and night, they have already regarded the soldiers as their own children, who are more like their own children than their own.

Knowing his intentions, Song Yanxi stopped trying to persuade him, but thinking of Li Zhuang, she couldn't help but ask.

He has lived in a border town since he was a child and has long been accustomed to the local customs and practices. If he is rashly brought to Beijing, he may not be able to adapt.

What He Chunhua hoped for might not be what he wanted.

No matter what, I should ask his opinion in person.

Understanding Song Yanxi's concerns, Doctor Liu patted his chest and promised, "The child is willing to return to Beijing with you. You can rest assured about this."

His eyes flashed, and he continued, "His mother also said before she died that she only hoped that this child would have enough to eat and grow up safely.

You can bring him back to the Yan family. You don't need to give him any status. Just give him a place to eat and sleep."

He looked around and warned, "This child is timid and has never traveled far since he was a child. Princess, please take him with you on the way back."

Now that things have come to this, is there anything Song Yanxi doesn't understand?

Seeing her nod in agreement, Doctor Liu breathed a sigh of relief, and only later realized that something was wrong.

He frowned and asked, "The prince left first?"

The waiter came over with the noodles and said the same thing to Song Yanxi with a smile as he had just said.

Military Doctor Liu stroked his beard and sighed, "Strange! When I arrived here, I saw General Cheng hurriedly heading south."

He looked at Doctor Li next to him and asked, "Old Li, have you seen the prince?"

Doctor Li shook his head.

The waiter's hand shaking as he was serving the noodles almost spilled the soup onto Doctor Liu.

He apologized hurriedly and wiped the soup off the table in a hurry.

Doctor Liu moved his bench back and frowned, "How can you do this? Your hands are so unsteady. If you burn the princess, I wonder how you'll explain yourself."

The waiter was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and apologized repeatedly.

Doctor Liu waved his hands and said impatiently, "Alright, leave now, you're so clumsy."

He took out a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Doctor Li, saying casually, "It's Princess Yong'an you met today. If it were anyone else, I'd definitely beat your ass to pieces."

Song Yanxi shook her head helplessly.

This Mr. Liu, you can praise her if you want, but why does he have to secretly step on Zhuang Shihan?

Although she was a bit spoiled, she was from the Jingguo Mansion after all, so she shouldn't get upset over such a small matter.

Just as she was thinking, Song Yanxi caught a glimpse of a red figure walking quickly towards her.

She couldn't help but frown. What was Zhuang Shihan doing here so early in the morning?

After all, he wasn't here to see her off.

Doctor Liu also saw Zhuang Shihan, his face immediately fell, and he snorted coldly, "It's bad luck to meet a ghost so early in the morning!"

Doctor Li also had a cold face and slammed the chopsticks in his hand heavily on the table.

The force was so strong that it seemed as if he wanted to split the table in half with one palm.

Zhuang Shihan walked in quickly with a sneer on her face. "Oh, Mr. Li, you're so angry so early in the morning. How about I give you some coptis root to cool you down?"

Hearing this, Doctor Li's face turned even darker.

He opened his mouth, but Doctor Liu beside him was even faster than him and said coldly, "Princess Shihan, there's no need to worry about this."

He raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "It's so early in the morning, and the people outside Huichun Hall are almost lined up at the city gate. Why are you joining us instead of being a Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?"
