Li Chengfeng's voice suddenly came from behind, breaking the silence of the early morning.
Fang Qingyue turned around and saw that Li Chengfeng had already gotten up and was leaning on the edge of the bed with his arms folded across his chest and a teasing look on his face.
He had obviously recovered a lot. Although his face was still a little pale, there was a hint of relief in his expression.
Fang Qingyue smiled faintly: "Thank you, Boss, for keeping your promise last night. I am ready to say goodbye."
Li Chengfeng slowly approached, his tone filled with reluctance: "Miss Fang saved my life, and you're leaving now? Why don't you stay a few more days? Although this is a mountain village, the scenery is quite nice."
Fang Qingyue frowned slightly and shook her head, "I'm just a doctor. Saving lives is my duty."
"Now that you're fine, I shouldn't stay any longer."
Li Chengfeng was silent for a moment, as if he were lost in thought. After a moment, he suddenly revealed a meaningful smile and said, "Miss Fang, if that's the case, I have a suggestion—why don't you stay and be my wife?"
"You have great medical skills and a good character. If you stay with me, no one in the world will dare to bully you."
Fang Qingyue was stunned for a moment, then her face darkened slightly.
She originally thought that Li Chengfeng was just a bandit. Although he was magnanimous, he was ultimately a bandit who made a living by looting. She didn't expect that he would make such an absurd request.
She looked at Li Chengfeng coldly, with a sharp look in her eyes: "Boss Li, are you kidding me?"
Li Chengfeng saw her indifferent expression, but he remained calm and said with a smile, "I'm not kidding. You are a rare and extraordinary woman. I, Li Chengfeng, have seen many people, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you."
"You don't want to stay in town and be that useless female doctor? Why don't you join me in the world of martial arts? Wouldn't that be fun?"
Fang Qingyue's anger grew after hearing this, but she didn't react immediately. She just said coldly, "Master, what you said is inappropriate. As a doctor, I should focus on saving people."
"As for what you said about your wife, please take back this ridiculous thing."
Li Chengfeng frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Miss Fang, why are you so repulsive? I am sincere and not teasing you."
"If you stay with me, I will ensure that you have no worries. I can even help you keep your clinic and prevent anyone from disturbing you."
Fang Qingyue's eyes grew even colder, and her tone sharpened: "Master Li, I saved you because your life was hanging by a thread. My medical skills should not be associated with the activities of you bandits."
"Now that you are fine, I don't owe you anything, and you don't owe me anything."
"The relationship between us is simply that of doctor and patient. Please stop making these rude requests."
Seeing her firm attitude, Li Chengfeng's smile gradually faded and his eyes became deep.
He stared at Fang Qingyue, as if examining her every reaction. Finally, he whispered, "Miss Fang is indeed different from ordinary women."
"But, whatever, I respect your decision."
Fang Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you for your understanding, boss. In that case, I will take my leave." After that, she turned around and prepared to leave.
Li Chengfeng looked at her resolute back with a complicated look in his eyes. In the end, he did not speak to keep her, but just watched her walk out of the room silently.
Meanwhile, on the other side
Shen Yuhan finally could not delay any longer. He could not bear the emperor's urging and led his troops to Jiangnan.
He marched all the way without stopping, but his heart could never calm down.
The bandits in Jiangnan were indeed rampant, but his real intention in this trip was not to suppress them.
He sent out an advance team and ordered them to go to the mountain stronghold in the south of the Yangtze River to gather intelligence.
If we rashly enter the city, we will definitely alert the enemy. Once the bandits learn that the imperial troops are coming, they will definitely flee in advance.
In order to ensure that the bandits can be wiped out in one fell swoop, he must first obtain detailed intelligence so that he can have a foolproof plan.
"Send a few elite spies into the mountains and make sure to find the location of these bandits' lair."
"If you can find out where their leader is, report immediately."
Shen Yuhan's expression was stern, and his tone was filled with unquestionable majesty.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Several guards received the order and immediately led their men and horses to the mountains.
Shen Yuhan watched his men go away, his brows furrowed and his eyes deep.
Fang Qingyue slept soundly all night. The morning light poured in through the window, making the room exceptionally warm.
She slowly opened her eyes and rubbed her slightly sore shoulders. The fatigue from last night seemed to have disappeared.
She sat up, looked at the lush green forests and the morning mist outside, and felt a sense of relief in her heart.
Although she was in a bandit's lair, the unexpected tranquility made her feel very comfortable.
Fang Qingyue stood up and tidied her clothes, then opened the door. There were already several bandits in the yard taking care of business. When they saw her come out, they nodded to her.
Obviously, her rescue of Li Chengfeng last night made these rough bandits respect her.
Fang Qingyue walked out of the room and was about to go say goodbye to Li Chengfeng when she suddenly heard a familiar laugh coming from behind her: "Miss Fang, did you have a good rest last night?"
She turned around and saw Li Chengfeng standing in the middle of the yard, his arms folded across his chest with his usual carefree smile on his face.
Compared to yesterday, he looked much more energetic. Although his face was still a little pale, the sharpness in his eyes had regained some of its sharpness.
"Thank you, Boss. I slept well." Fang Qingyue responded indifferently, her tone polite but distant.
She didn't stay for long and said directly: "Boss, you felt better last night, and I have done my duty."
