Even though the soldiers had complaints in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out in rebuttal.

They had no choice but to retreat and wait for news.

Zuo Guangyao's face was gloomy and ugly. After Lin Yiwan's reminder, he thought carefully about the actions of the father and daughter, and felt more and more that they had planned this in advance.

It was indeed a coincidence that the military doctor had an accident and then they appeared.

What is particularly important is the medicine to treat the soldiers, which they have prepared very well.

How could they predict in advance that the soldiers would become sick en masse?

unless!

They did it on purpose!

Thinking of this, he clenched his fist and smashed it hard on a big rock.

Blood flowed out from between his fingers, and the anger that had been pent up in his heart finally dissipated a little.

He quickly ordered his subordinates outside: "Go and invite Miss Meng's maid over. This general has something to ask her!"

However, a moment later, the subordinate hurried back to report that the little maid had also disappeared.

Deputy General Zuo's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly urged: "Go after her. There are many dangers around Xiliang Mountain. She can't escape at all!"

Sure enough, after searching for about half an hour, they heard the little maid's miserable cry for help in a flowing muddy area.

Zuo Guangyao did not hesitate and quickly ordered someone to pull her up.

She fell to the ground trembling, thanking him for saving her life.

Zuo Guangyao snorted coldly: "Tell me, why did you and your master infiltrate our Yan army?"

The little maid shook her head like a rattle: "No, Deputy General Zuo misunderstood, we are not lurking!"

Zuo Guangyao taunted him, "Since you won't tell the truth, this general won't bother saving you. Just go back into the flowing mud and wait for death!"

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the little maid out.

"Bang!" She fell into the mud and her whole body continued to sink.

She screamed in panic, "Leader Zuo, help me! I'm telling the truth! My master is Luo Yan, the daughter of the Luo family in the capital. She came to the Southland because she wanted to become the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi!"

Zuo Guangyao's eyes were filled with gloom. He didn't expect that Miss Meng was actually the legitimate daughter of the Luo family.

Seeing that the little maid was about to be swallowed by the mud, he quickly ordered people to drag her up again.

The little maid who survived the disaster immediately started to spill the beans, revealing everything that should and shouldn't be said.

She sobbed sadly: "In order to get Yan Jun to support her, she asked Han Lao to first put a slow-acting poison in their food, and then detoxify them!"

Zuo Guangyao gnashed his teeth in hatred. That father and daughter were indeed extremely vicious!

He immediately asked, "Where are they?"

The little maid replied tremblingly, "They ran away, all of them ran away. I didn't dare to stay any longer, but I accidentally fell into the mud!"

Zuo Guangyao brought her back to Lin Yiwan and Zhan Yan and told them Luo Yan's true identity.

Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "It's her? No wonder I feel like her features are familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before!"

The maid replied, "Old Han is proficient in the art of bone manipulation. After arriving in the South, Luo Yan acknowledged him as her adoptive father and asked him to help her change her appearance so that she wouldn't be recognized by the Marquis and his wife!"

Zhan Yan angrily rebuked: "This woman is extremely vicious. If we don't kill her, we won't be able to appease the anger of the army!"

Zuo Guangyao spoke in a gloomy voice, "My Lord, we've searched the entire area, but we haven't seen either her or Old Han. I'm afraid they've already gone down the mountain!"

Fang Qingshan quickly said, "With just the two of them, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive. Not to mention the flowing mud, the snakes, insects and poisonous ants alone are enough for them to endure. Wanwan and I almost couldn't get out!"

Hearing this, Zhan Yan's expression became a little complicated.

He said in a serious tone, "No matter what, these two must not be let off. Once Xiliangshan is freed, a hunting order will be issued!"

Zuo Guangyao asked, "Then what should we do with this little maid?"

Zhan Yan looked at Lin Yiwan and said, "Take her away first and settle her down. She can serve as a witness when we find Luo Yan in the future!"

Zuo Guangyao nodded and ordered someone to take the little maid away.

At this time, Zhan Yan had already moved into Lin Yiwan's tent. Seeing that there was no one around, he became weak and unable to take care of himself again.

He said pitifully, "Wanwan, I'm a little tired!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but step forward and hold his arm, but he took the opportunity to snuggle into her arms.

"You, what are you doing? It's broad daylight!" Lin Yiwan pushed him away anxiously.

He argued quietly, "What's wrong with that in broad daylight? We can't get down the mountain anyway, so we can't do anything else. We can only do what we can."

Lin Yiwan really couldn't do anything with him. In front of everyone else, he looked aloof and cold, but in front of her, he was even more shameless than a rogue.

She can't indulge him, otherwise, she will be the one who suffers.

She quickly reminded him, "Ah Yan, the situation in Lingnan City is serious. While you were trapped in Xiliang Mountain, Ye Tianqing recruited soldiers and horses, and the surrounding cities all obeyed his orders. He is openly rebelling!"

Zhan Yan understood this truth, but he was trapped in Xiliang Mountain. Even if he wanted to deal with Ye Tianqing, he was too far away to do it.

He did not regret his previous decision. Between dealing with Ye Tianqing and saving the people, he chose the latter.

He took a deep breath and said, "Wanwan, don't worry. I've just discussed a plan with General Fang to help us escape. Within three days, the floodwaters in Xiliang Mountain will definitely recede!"

Lin Yiwan was stunned. When had this been discussed?

Why didn't she know?

Seeing her innocent and cute appearance, Zhan Yan couldn't help but laugh: "Don't I exchange letters with General Fang? How did you and Fang Qingshan get the news? Have you forgotten?"

Lin Yiwan reached out and pinched him: "You just bully me!"

He held her in his arms and spoke sincerely, "How could I possibly bully Wanwan? Wanwan is so kind. I can't even count how many times she's saved me from danger. I, your husband, really don't know how to repay you!"

Lin Yiwan stammered, "We are husband and wife, why should we ask for anything in return?"

He frowned, "That won't do. I'll have to find ways to make Wanwan happy. For the rest of my life, I'll pay you with my flesh!"

When Lin Yiwan was put on the bed, she finally understood what he meant.

He really tried every possible way to make her happy and let her taste that ultimate wonderful feeling.

When she was feeling ecstatic, there was only one thought in her mind: It turns out this is possible.

She didn't know how long it had been, but she was lying on top of him, her breathing unstable.

She reached out and hit him, and her eyes, washed by the flood, became more moist and charming.

She said resentfully, "Zhan Yan, you don't want me to die, do you? You really can do all sorts of things!"

He gently bit her ear and asked, "Do you like it?"

She glared at him and said, "Don't do this again next time, or I won't let you touch me anymore!"
