Lin Yiwan's heart suddenly hung in the air: "Old General, don't keep me in suspense. Tell me exactly how difficult it is."
General Fang brought her to the table and pointed at the spread-out map. "Look for yourself. Xiliang Mountain is surrounded by barbarians. We can't get in, and they can't get down!"
Even though Lin Yiwan had prepared herself mentally, her eyes suddenly turned red the moment she saw it.
She subconsciously clenched her fists, her face filled with worry.
General Fang sighed helplessly, "We tried using boats to bring rice and cotton clothes to the bottom of the mountain and then transport them back up, but the mountain is muddy and the rocks have become soft after being eroded by sewage. Even the most nimble soldiers couldn't climb up!"
Lin Yiwan paced back and forth anxiously, "There must be a way, we just haven't thought of it yet!"
Seeing her worried look, General Fang couldn't help but speak with concern: "Don't worry, Yiwan. I've already sent people to find local hunters to see if there are other roads leading to the top of Xiliang Mountain!"
Lin Yiwan tried her best to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart and asked in a hoarse voice, "Has the old general been in contact with Zhan Yan?"
General Fang nodded and said, "Yes, there's a sharpshooter in his army who shoots down news from time to time. A few days ago, a soldier fell ill, and even the Marquis was not spared!"
A flash of worry suddenly crossed Lin Yiwan's eyes. Sick? Could it be a plague?
Ancient books record that there will inevitably be serious illness after a major disaster!
Yan's army has been trapped on Xiliang Mountain for so long, there must be a lot of insect and beast corpses around.
When they are so hungry, they will eat anything!
Illness comes from the mouth!
She said anxiously, "General Fang, you must help me. I know medical skills. Find a way to get me to the top of the mountain first!"
General Fang quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, Marquis Zhan Yi is fine. After they arrived in the South, an old local doctor and his apprentice joined the Yan army. Now, under their care, he's gradually recovering!"
Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "A local old doctor? Didn't the Yan army bring a military doctor with them?"
General Fang spoke in a complicated tone, "Don't even mention that military doctor. He fell into the water and drowned right after arriving in the South. Luckily, Zhan Yan temporarily recruited doctors. Otherwise, the Yan army would have been completely wiped out!"
Lin Yiwan did not feel relieved. On the contrary, she was even more worried about Zhan Yan.
Especially, how did the old doctor join Yan's army by chance? Could they be spies sent by Ye Tianqing?
But she couldn't reach the top of the mountain now, so she could only return to the tent with a heavy heart and wait for news.
At this time, inside the simple tent on the top of the mountain, Zhan Yan was lying on the bed with a pale face.
Yingyi was clumsily feeding him water, but the amount he fed him wasn't enough to cause him to spill.
A veiled woman walked in from outside, holding a freshly brewed medicine in her hand.
Seeing Ying Yi's clumsy appearance, she couldn't help but said softly: "Guard Ying, your hands are holding the sword, so things like feeding water and medicine should be done by me!"
Yingyi glanced at Zhan Yan and said subconsciously: "No need, let your subordinates do it!"
The woman frowned and warned with a serious face, "You splashed water on his neck. He's already weak. If you don't wipe it clean, it will cause his skin to ulcerate. Shadow Guard, do you want to make his illness worse?"
Yingyi quickly took a handkerchief to wipe it for him, but because he used too much force, he wiped it and left a large red mark.
The woman couldn't bear to watch any longer, so she raised her hand and snatched the bowl of water from his hand, saying unhappily, "Let me do it!"
She scooped some water with a spoon, looked at Zhan Yan with her big watery eyes and said, "Come on, Lord Marquis, open your mouth!"
Although Zhan Yan was sick and confused, he was aware of the suspicion between men and women!
He quickly turned his face away and said in a hoarse voice: "Let Yingyi go!"
The woman interrupted with grievance: "My Lord, I am trying to save your life. It's already this hour, and you are still concerned about these strict rules between men and women?"
Zhan Yan turned his face away stubbornly and refused to open his mouth.
Ying Yi quickly said, "Miss Meng, our Marquis is just like that. Please don't make things difficult for him. Just let your subordinates do it."
Miss Meng said anxiously: "Let me try again?"
She was about to bring the bowl of water closer to him again, but he swung his arm so hard that the whole bowl fell on her.
"Ah!" She screamed in fright.
Zhan Yan's cold voice sounded again: "Get out!"
Miss Meng gritted her teeth, turned around and ran out quickly.
Ying Yi looked at Zhan Yan with a distressed look on his face: "My Lord, why are you doing this? Miss Meng is Master Han's apprentice. If she goes back to complain, I'm afraid it will cause Master Han's dissatisfaction. Our Yan army still has to rely on them as master and apprentice!"
Zhan Yan squeezed his eyes shut, his mind echoing with the words, "It would be so nice if Wanwan were on this mountain!"
After a long while, he finally uttered a few words: "Yingyi, I miss Wanwan!"
Ying Yi was stunned. He knew Zhan Yan well. He was always reserved and introverted. He never revealed his emotions to anyone. But this time, he actually told him that he missed his wife. It meant that he was really seriously ill.
Sure enough, after saying this, he fell into a coma.
Yingyi did not dare to delay and quickly ran out of the tent to ask for help from the doctor Han Lao.
He said anxiously, "Old Han, go check on our Marquis. He has a high fever again and is in a coma!"
Old Han frowned and said, "The Marquis is really stubborn. What's wrong with letting Meng'er take care of him? Meng'er understands medical knowledge and is very considerate. If he continues to be treated like this, it would be a wonder if he can recover!"
Ying subconsciously explained: "Don't be angry, Mr. Han. Our Marquis never likes outsiders to touch him. Please bear with me!"
Old Han glared: "But I'm also an outsider, why did he let me touch him?"
Ying Yi frowned: "Because you are a doctor, besides, our Marquis already has a family, so he still has to keep his distance from women. Old Han loves Miss Meng so much, he probably doesn't want her reputation to be damaged, right?"
Old Han knew full well what Ying meant, which was that unless you have ulterior motives, he would never bother you regardless of his reputation.
He immediately said in a coy tone, "I misunderstood you, Lord. I will go and see you right away!"
He hurriedly left with his medicine box, not daring to hesitate any longer.
Only after his figure disappeared did the maid beside Miss Meng carefully look around and cover the tent tightly.
She said with an angry look on her face: "Miss, it's been so many days, even a heart of stone should have warmed up, but why is the Marquis still so repulsive to you?"
The woman sitting on the chair frowned and glared at her: "Keep your voice down, aren't you afraid of others hearing you?"
