Her eyes widened in fear: "Why did the officer stop me?"

The man looked at her and asked, "Where are you from?"

Lin Yiwan answered cautiously, "I'm a hunter who lives at the foot of the mountain. I often go into the mountains to collect herbs and bring them to the town to sell!"

The officer frowned and looked at her. "Hunter girl? I know all the hunters around Old Eagle Village, so why do you look so unfamiliar to me?"

Lin Yiwan quickly explained, "Before, it was my brother who was always the one showing up, but now that he's injured his leg, I have to go out by myself!"

The officer wanted to ask more, but was interrupted by the leader: "Go follow her back and find out which hunter she belongs to."

"As you command!" The officer responded loudly and followed Lin Yiwan directly.

After walking for about half an hour, the officer became impatient.

One of them pushed Lin Yiwan's arm hard. "Are you lying? You're not a hunter girl at all? Tell me, who are you? Why are you buying so many herbs?"

A bone-chilling chill suddenly flashed across Lin Yiwan's eyes. Her husband was trapped in Xiliang Mountain in order to save the people in the south.

But these parasites not only do not provide help, but even block everyone who wants to help them.

They are so vicious!

Why?

Without hesitation, she suddenly snatched the sword from his waist, twisted his arm, and pressed it hard against his neck.

"You are so bold! You actually held the police officer hostage. Do you want to live?" The man screamed in fear.

Lin Yiwan scoffed, "What kind of official are you? Ye Tianqing? He's a traitor the imperial court wants to eliminate. If you obey him, don't that mean you've become a traitor too?"

The man was so frightened that his whole body was shaking violently. He angrily retorted, "Nonsense! Of course we are officials of the imperial court. You are sneaking around and your behavior is suspicious. You must be a criminal. We are right to arrest you!"

Lin Yiwan sneered, "What a wicked villain! Go back and tell your master that you ignored the Yan army when it was in danger. Just wait for the court to settle accounts with you one by one in the future!"

After she finished speaking, she raised her foot and kicked the man to the ground.

The remaining person quickly reached out to support him and asked, "Should we continue chasing?"

The man frowned and shouted, "What are you chasing after? The imperial court is determined to take action against Ye Tianqing. We, a bunch of small fry, should not follow them and seek death. We can't stop them!"

The two men watched Lin Yiwan walk away before limping back to report.

Lin Yiwan quickly arrived at General Fang's residence. She was shocked and ran towards the military camp.

At this moment, several soldiers spotted her and rushed forward to stop her: "Stop, this is a military stronghold. No outsiders are allowed to trespass. Get out of here!"

Lin Yiwan said anxiously, "I want to see General Fang. I'm from the capital. Please go in and let him know, young man Jun!"

Several soldiers turned a deaf ear to her and even glared at her mockingly: "You think you can find our old general? Go somewhere cool and don't force us to use force!"

Lin Yiwan's expression suddenly changed, and she subconsciously rushed in.

There was a fierce look in the eyes of several people, and they attacked her directly.

In a flash, a roar of anger suddenly hit the ears of several people: "Stop, what are you making a fuss about?"

Several soldiers quickly stopped, but they started to complain: "Reporting to the Major General, it was this woman who sneaked into the barracks without permission. I suspect she is a spy!"

Lin Yiwan quickly looked at the person who came, and it was General Fang Qingshan.

She introduced herself without hesitation: "General Fang, I am Lin Yiwan from the Marquis of Zhan Yi's mansion!"

Fang Qingshan, who was originally a little suspicious, suddenly widened his eyes, and after a moment he shook his head repeatedly: "That's not right, I've seen the Marquis's wife, she doesn't look like this at all!"

Lin Yiwan then realized that she still had the disguise ointment on her face.

She quickly said, "Major General, could you please bring me a basin of clean water?"

Fang Qingshan quickly ordered someone to bring it and place it in front of her.

Lin Yiwan wet the handkerchief, put some medicine powder on it, and wiped it back and forth on her face.

After a moment, she turned to look at Fang Qingshan: "Major General, look at who I am now?"

There was a flash of shock in Fang Qingshan's eyes. She was actually the Marquis's wife?

But she clearly had an unremarkable appearance just now!

She is really capable!

He quickly bowed and saluted: "This humble general greets Fang Qingshan!"

Lin Yiwan walked quickly up to him and said, "No need to be polite. General Fang is in the tent. I want to see him!"

Fang Qingshan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I'll take you to see her right away!"

He took a few quick steps forward, then stepped back and said, "You guys, for slandering innocent people, deserve to be punished. Each of you will receive twenty military sticks as a warning to others!"

Several people answered "yes" fearfully, then retreated with frustration to accept the punishment.

Lin Yiwan did not plead for them. She felt that they deserved to be beaten. It was ridiculous to falsely accuse others of being spies without any evidence.

Fortunately, Fang Qingshan still recognized her, otherwise, she would have suffered a lot.

When she entered the tent, she saw General Fang sitting beside the table with a frown on his face.

Fang Qingshan spoke first: "Dad, look who's here?"

General Fang frowned and glared at him: "Didn't I tell you that there are no fathers and sons in the army? Call me general, and I've beaten you so many times, how could you forget it again?"

Fang Qingshan scratched his head in confusion. "I was so happy that I blabbered. I'll be punished later. General, the wife of the Marquis Zhan Yi is here!"

General Fang immediately looked at Lin Yiwan with a worried look on his face: "Lin girl? Why did you go into danger alone? Are you okay?"

Seeing General Fang's gentle yet serious face, she suddenly felt her eyes tighten slightly.

She quickly bowed and saluted: "Yiwan greets General Fang. Thank you for your concern. Yiwan is safe!"

General Fang quickly stepped forward and held her arm: "Girl, get up quickly. Your grandfather and I are old friends, so I treat you as my junior. If you have any grievances, you can come to me and tell me!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head vigorously: "No, Yiwan was just very excited to see General Fang!"

General Fang knew very well that she was hiding something, but he was a smart man, so if others didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't ask any further questions.

He couldn't help but laugh: "Silly child, you must be tired from sleeping in the open air all this way. Should I let Qingshan take you to the tent to rest for a while?"

Lin Yiwan was eager to know the news about Zhan Yan and Yan Jun, so how could she rest?

She quickly said, "I'm not tired. How is Zhan Yan now? Does the old general know anything about him?"

The smile on General Fang's face disappeared instantly, and he said obscurely: "Since you asked, then I will not hide it anymore. He and the Yan army are having a hard time on Xiliang Mountain!"
