Chapter 252: Border troops have been full of romantic men in recent years
"General Xu."
"General Xu?"
"Yes, it's General Xu Xiaoxu who now lives in the General's Mansion."
Seeing Cheng Duan's bewildered expression, the old master patiently explained, "Everyone usually only knows that General Xu is similar to General Yan back then, wielding a red tasseled spear with awe-inspiring grace, but in fact, his flying knife skills are even more amazing.
His two daughters also inherited his ambition. The eldest learned spearmanship and the second learned swordsmanship. When I went to deliver the kite that day, I happened to see the three of them practicing martial arts. They are truly as good as men.
"Strange!" Cheng Duan looked at Song Yanxi and asked desperately, "Does the princess remember General Yan?"
Song Yanxi's eyes darkened slightly, "Of course."
Even though the Yan family has been away from the center of power for many years, the world has never forgotten the blood the Yan family shed for Da'an over the years.
Three generals from one family, all of them are strong and resolute.
People in the court used to distinguish the three father and sons as Old General Yan, General Yan, and Young General Yan, and this was still the case after many years.
When Song Yanxi was born, the brothers Yan Changfeng and Yan Changbai had already passed away. Although she had no chance to meet them, she had heard about their deeds from the Yan family many times in the past few years.
The two brothers, one wise and the other brave, work together in perfect harmony. They are Yan Yichuan's right-hand men in the army and are deeply trusted by Emperor Xuande.
Everyone knows that Yan Changbai is extremely intelligent and almost a demon, and he is extremely skilled in using the willow leaf flying knife.
He once compiled a book recording sword techniques, which is still a must-have book for those who practice flying knives today, and almost everyone who practices martial arts does not know his name.
Especially for a martial arts fanatic like Cheng Duan, even though he was used to using a long sword, he still collected a copy of this book and put it in his bag together with other martial arts secrets, and took it out to read it from time to time.
So when he heard what the master said, his first reaction was that he must have remembered it wrong and remembered General Xu as General Yan.
But if I remembered it wrongly, how could I know what the two daughters were studying?
What's more, the story is well-founded and doesn't seem to be made up out of thin air.
Seeing that Cheng Duan didn't believe him, the old master didn't get angry and said bluntly: "This place is less than half an hour away from the general's mansion. The general can just go there in person.
I'll find out after I invite General Xu over and ask him myself."
Cheng Duan has always been an impatient person. When he heard this, he turned around and left.
As he left the tent, he said, "Cheng will be back soon, Princess, please wait a moment!"
Watching him leave, the old master couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion: "The border troops have been full of romantic men in recent years."
General Cheng is also from the border army?
Noticing Song Yanxi's puzzled look, the old master quickly explained: "This general is not, I am talking about General Yan and General Xu.
Oh, and there is also His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Song Yanxi had heard so much about her uncle being a romantic that her ears were almost callused since she was a child, so she knew it very well.
She often heard Shen Qingyun say that Yan Changfeng was not only the best among his peers in terms of talent and appearance, but also had an impeccable personality. This made her determined to grow up and find a husband like him at a young age.
As for Xu Xiao...
After so many years, Song Yanxi was not sure whether he was still thinking about her aunt as much as Doctor Liu said, day after day for the past ten years.
As a junior, it is not appropriate for me to comment on this matter.
Compared to these old facts, she actually wanted to know more about the rumored beautiful but ill-fated "wife" of Prince Jin.
Although Zihuan's age didn't quite match and the children didn't look alike, Song Yanxi's intuition told her that Mo Jinchuan wasn't a promiscuous person.
Indeed, a royal family member of his noble status would never have only one wife by his side.
Any prominent man in the capital has three wives and four concubines, and he has to support other women at home.
Even someone like Lin Tingfeng had the delusion of enjoying the blessing of having two wives, let alone His Royal Highness Prince Jin?
Even though she knew all this, Song Yanxi inexplicably felt that he must be different from others.
Realizing that she actually trusted him so much, and thinking of what her mother had said about the so-called bad nature of men, Song Yanxi secretly bit the tip of her tongue and cursed herself for not having a good memory.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin is indeed a good man.
But since she had died once, she should not indulge in love between men and women again. What did it have to do with her whether Mo Jinchuan was promiscuous?
Does it matter whether he had one wife or several?
All she wants now is for her family to be healthy and for those who do evil to be punished.
When everything is settled, if he is willing to give her the position of Princess Jin, he will gladly accept it, and will also fulfill his duties as the mistress of the palace and raise the four children to adulthood.
If he doesn't want to, she won't force him.
Even if we can't be husband and wife, at least we are on the same path, so we should always keep some dignity for ourselves.
"Is there anything on your mind, Princess?"
Pulling her thoughts back to reality by the old master's voice, Song Yanxi shook her head and said sternly, "General Xu and His Royal Highness Prince Jin have great righteousness in their hearts. They have delayed their lifelong events to protect the people of Da'an for so many years. It has nothing to do with others."
"The princess doesn't know, Prince Jin..."
The old master wanted to say something but was interrupted by Song Yanxi's cold voice.
"In the future, I hope Master will not mention anything that would damage the reputation of the General and the Prince, as this might lead to criticism."
Hearing that this might cause them trouble, the old master hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely control my mouth from now on and will never say a word again."
"You're too kind."
"No, the princess is too polite."
His easygoing nature made Song Yanxi reflect on whether her tone just now was too harsh, making the old man feel unhappy.
Seeing that the old master was still smiling, she finally felt relieved and asked him to rest and wait in the tent while she went out to check the pulses of the five people who were testing the medicine.
Among them, Tian Shitou was the youngest, and the other four unanimously decided to let him try the effective and well-prepared Mahuang Decoction, while they shared the wild vegetables prepared by Song Yanxi for them in different dosages.
During the past two days, except after waking up and before going to bed, she would check the pulse of each of them every two hours.
Although the process is a little complicated, it can observe subtle changes in the pulse and avoid making important mistakes due to the slightest error.
The more she did, the less danger there was.
It just takes a little more effort.
Nothing to do is best.
If anything goes wrong, there will be time for treatment.
Song Yanxi really didn't want to see their lives in danger because of helping with the drug trial.
She was afraid of disappointing those suffering from the epidemic, and even more afraid of feeling guilty.
I don’t know if the master received the letter sent before the city was closed. Given the old man’s temper, if he knew that he had gained a disciple for no apparent reason, he would probably be so angry that he would rush to the border town to clean up the mess overnight.
The Divine Doctor Valley has always acted in secret, and the disciples in the valley also act in a low-key manner. Perhaps no one knows about the current predicament of the border town.
No, she had to find a way to send another letter out of town.
Right now, she can't leave, and others can't come in, so she has no idea what's happening in other places.
If people in the nearby towns are infected with the epidemic and it is not brought under control quickly, once an outburst breaks out, the situation will be even more difficult than the current situation in the border town.
Song Yanxi just kept walking forward with her head down, not noticing that a pair of eyes not far away were staring at her with resentment.
As she approached, a figure quickly rushed out from behind the tent and shouted viciously: "Evil woman, die!"
"Princess, be careful!"
