He could only speak: "I'll let Qingshan escort you up. You must be careful. There are snakes, insects and poisonous ants everywhere. In addition to the flood, there is also flowing mud. If you are not careful, you will be swept into it and your body will be gone!"

Lin Yiwan said with red eyes: "It's enough for me to take the risk alone. There's no need for General Fang to follow me!"

General Fang's expression suddenly grew serious. "Lin girl, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I let you go into danger alone? Zhan Yan is the God of War of the Sheng Dynasty. I admire him very much. I will not let him make even the slightest mistake!"

Fang Qingshan also hurriedly said: "Madam Hou, I will go and pack some food and frozen meat, wrap them in oilcloth, and give them some!"

Watching him hurriedly leave, Lin Yiwan spoke sadly, "Thank you, General. General Fang is your son. How could you bear to let him go?"

General Fang said with a complicated expression, "Why wouldn't I be reluctant? Since birth, the men of our Fang family have shouldered the responsibility of protecting our territory, and Fang Qingshan is no exception. If you go to treat the God of War, isn't it only natural that he protects you?"

Lin Yiwan actually knew very well that even if General Fang sent an ordinary soldier to protect her, there would be nothing wrong with it.

But he actually sent his own son!

It was enough to show that he valued Zhan Yan and her from the bottom of his heart!

She will always remember this kindness!

If she could come down from Xiliang Mountain alive, then if the Fang family asked her for help in the future, she would definitely do her best.

General Fang didn't know what she was thinking, but ordered people to help her prepare equipment for going up the mountain.

Soon, she and Fang Qingshan were ready.

Both of them carried important items wrapped in oil paper on their backs. Fang Qingshan's was food, while Lin Yiwan's was life-saving medicine.

General Fang warned the two men earnestly, "The flowing mud is the most terrifying. You must use a stick to probe it before moving forward!"

Lin Yiwan said, "Don't worry, old general. We're tied together with a rope. If one of us falls, the other will find a way to pull him up again!"

General Fang nodded and said, "Okay, I have something else to tell Qingshan in private. Can Miss Lin go ahead?"

Lin Yiwan thought to herself, is there anything else she can’t listen to?

But she was not unreasonable, so she said she needed to sort out the herbs and left quickly.

Seeing that she had walked away, General Fang frowned and looked at Fang Qingshan: "If she falls into the flowing mud, you must spare no effort to rescue her. Do you understand?"

Fang Qingshan responded solemnly: "Yes!"

General Fang reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Good son, if you fall, don't let him get hurt. You should know what to do, right?"

Fang Qingshan was silent for a moment before he slowly nodded: "Son, you know, we should cut the rope immediately and not let her down!"

General Fang had been a leader on the battlefield for many years and thought he had developed a heart of stone.

However, when he saw his son's face, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

He subconsciously turned his back and said, "Let's go quickly. Don't keep Miss Lin waiting!"

Fang Qingshan took a half step back, knelt down and bowed deeply: "Your son Qingshan bids farewell to the old general!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he knocked his head to the ground.

General Fang still didn't look back at him, but just waved his hand.

Fang Qingshan stood up and left quickly, and soon disappeared.

The deputy general standing next to him said with a complicated expression: "Old General, the young general has already left with the Marquis's wife!"

General Fang finally turned around with difficulty. He said with a look of regret: "Old Pei, do you think I am too sentimental because I am old? In the past, no matter how dangerous the mission was, I never frowned once. But this time!"

As he spoke, his voice choked up.

Deputy General Pei quickly supported his arm and comforted him: "Young General, you are a man of good fortune. He will definitely be able to escort the Marquis' wife to the top of Xiliang Mountain and save Marquis Zhan Yi's life!"

General Fang sighed helplessly: "Let's hope so!"

He staggered back to the tent, his brow filled with a worry that could never be relieved.

At this time, Fang Qingshan and Lin Yiwan had already boarded a small boat. They each looked towards the direction of Xiliang Mountain in silence.

The soldier rowing beside him suddenly said, "Major General, the water is turbulent ahead. You and Madam Hou, hold on tight!"

The two men looked at each other and quickly grabbed the side of the boat.

The soldier paddled hard, and the entire boat was swept into the air by the rolling water.

Lin Yiwan felt her stomach churning. She gritted her teeth and tried hard not to vomit.

"Bang!" The boat suddenly landed on the water, and her heart also returned to normal.

The soldier wiped the water off his face and said, "Nine out of ten times we came here before, the boat would have capsized. This time we were lucky and didn't fall into the water."

Fang Qingshan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This is no different from falling into the water. I'm completely soaked!"

Lin Yiwan wasn't much better, but she was wearing a straw raincoat, so it wasn't noticeable.

The soldier continued to move forward for a while, but the boat could not move forward at all.

He said with a bitter face, "Originally, I wanted to escort the Major General a little further, but as you can see, the higher we go, the harder it is to row the boat!"

Fang Qingshan nodded. Now that they had reached the foot of Xiliang Mountain, he could take Lin Yiwan up.

He looked at Lin Yiwan: "Can you swim?"

She quickly replied, "Yes, I can. I can swim on my own. The Major General can lead the way!"

Fang Qingshan didn't hesitate and jumped into the water.

She hurriedly followed behind, and the moment her skin touched the water, she felt a piercing chill.

She didn't care about being pretentious and swam forward with all her might.

The two of them soon reached the rock wall. Fang Qingshan was completely submerged in the water, with only his head exposed.

He said in a serious tone, "The mountain is soft now. If you slip, you might fall into the flowing mud. You must hold on to the dagger tightly!"

Lin Yiwan nodded heavily: "I understand!"

Fang Qingshan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll dive down, and you step on my back to climb up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately dived into the muddy water.

Lin Yiwan didn't hesitate, she stepped on his head and climbed up quickly.

Fang Qingshan felt the pressure on his head ease, so he surfaced, gasping for breath rapidly.

In the time it took him to lose focus, the rope had already tightened.

He widened his eyes in surprise. How could the Marquis's wife climb so fast?

Isn't she a rich and beautiful lady raised in seclusion? How could she have such ability?

Lin Yiwan urged from above: "General Fang, what are you hesitating about? Come up quickly!"

When Fang Qingshan heard the voice, he quickly shook his head to clear his mind of all distractions.

With the help of Lin Yiwan, he also climbed up quickly.

The two of them continued their journey without stopping until a large rock appeared before them. Fang Qingshan said with a pale face, "Madam Hou, we need to take a breath!"
