He sighed softly and reached out to touch his chest, as if the warmth he had lost still lingered at his fingertips.
"General, I have something to report." Ling Feng walked forward and said with a fist salute.
Shen Yuhan opened his eyes and nodded: "Speak."
Ling Feng whispered, "General, regarding Doctor Fang..."
"I would like to suggest that we send someone to the Jiangnan area to investigate secretly."
"General, there are indeed many rumors about her in this town. If she really has extremely high medical skills, she might be able to find a cure."
Shen Yuhan did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes slightly and thought for a moment.
Doctor Fang, the overlap of this name and Fang Qingyue gave him an increasingly strong premonition.
Perhaps Doctor Fang is really related to Fang Qingyue? If she is really...
His eyes became deep, as if he was making an important decision.
"Okay," Shen Yuhan said slowly, his voice low, "Send someone to Jiangnan to find out where she is. If you have any news, report it immediately."
Ling Feng clasped his fists in response and retreated without hesitation.
Shen Yuhan leaned against the head of the bed, closed his eyes slightly, but his heart was unsettled.
The figure hidden in the deepest part of his heart reappeared in his memory again and again.
Maybe, this time, he could find her.
On the other side, Li Chengfeng's expression became complicated after learning that Shen Yuhan was ill.
Although he was a subordinate that Shen Yuhan had just recruited, he felt a subtle feeling in his heart when he heard that the general whom he respected and hated had fallen.
However, before he could sort out his thoughts, several of his men with ulterior motives began to make moves.
"Chief," a dark-skinned strong man stepped forward and whispered, "We don't have to work for that fellow Shen Yuhan anymore!"
"Look, he's ill now, and he might not be able to hold on. Once he's completely defeated, won't this area of Jiangnan be ours?"
"Why don't we take advantage of the chaos and escape, and become king of the mountain again."
"Brothers have followed you for so many years, why should we be restricted by others?"
Another subordinate also echoed: "That's right, village chief, if Shen Yuhan really can't make it, we must make plans early. Don't wait for the court to come and take over Jiangnan. By then, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"
Although their voices were low, the ambition in their eyes was obvious.
Li Chengfeng frowned as he listened to these words.
Although he was dissatisfied with Shen Yuhan's decision to surrender, he was a loyal man after all. Especially after his contact with Shen Yuhan these days, he also saw Shen Yuhan's character and way of using troops.
Shen Yuhan was a principled general. The purpose of recruiting him was not to exploit him, but to provide him and his men with a way to survive.
Li Chengfeng glanced coldly at his men, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
He said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? Now that Jiangnan has just been stabilized, you are thinking of betraying General Shen?"
"Hasn't this mountain king had enough?!"
The dark-skinned man felt his heart tighten when Li Chengfeng glared at him, but he was still unwilling to give in: "Boss, we are also thinking about you!"
"Back when we were in the stronghold, you and I lived a carefree life with you. But since we accepted you, not only do we have to train on time, but we also have to obey the orders of that official, Shen Yuhan. Where is the freedom we had before?"
"What's more, he's ill now. If he falls, we..."
"Shut up!" Li Chengfeng suddenly shouted, interrupting his men's complaints.
There was suppressed anger in his voice.
He narrowed his eyes and glanced coldly at these restless men: "You want to be the king of the mountain? Do you think being a bandit is so glorious?"
"I, Li Chengfeng, brought you down this path to make a living, not to make you a bandit for the rest of your life!"
"Shen Yuhan has given us a legitimate path. We can earn a living on our own merits and no longer have to live on the edge of a knife. Don't you understand?"
The dark and strong man was suppressed by Li Chengfeng's momentum. Although he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to talk back. He could only lower his head and remain silent.
On the other side, a burly man with scars all over his face couldn't help but sneer and said sarcastically, "Chief, have you been blinded by love?"
"Ever since you met that female doctor, you've become indecisive. How could the village chief before be so indecisive?"
Hearing this, Li Chengfeng's face darkened and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
He turned around suddenly, walked up to the scarred man, and punched him hard in the chest. The force was so great that he knocked him back several steps and almost fell to the ground.
"Say it again!" Li Chengfeng shouted coldly, his eyes like a sharp blade, piercing the other person.
The scarred man didn't expect Li Chengfeng to suddenly attack, and his face turned pale.
He endured the pain, gritted his teeth and said nothing.
"Remember this," Li Chengfeng said coldly, scanning his men in front of him with unquestionable authority, "no matter who I know or who I have in my heart, that is my private business."
"If you dare to gossip about me again, don't blame me for being merciless!"
His words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.
Several subordinates quickly lowered their heads and dared not say anything.
Li Chengfeng's eyes were cold and there was no warmth on his face.
Although these people in front of him were once his brothers, they had been bandits for many years and greed was deeply rooted in their bones.
Shen Yuhan gave them a way out, but if they relaxed even a little, these people would betray them again.
