Chapter 70: Spring Gathering in the North: Military Formation (Part 3)

"Your... Majesty..."

Si Cang Qing slowly turned around. Not far away, dozens of eerie green eyes—seven or eight black wolves—

were approaching; in the dim night, one could even vaguely see their bared, menacing fangs.

Silently and subtly retreating, Si Cang Qing's gaze turned icy as he stared at the approaching wolf pack, quickly 

assessing the current situation in his mind: if it were just him, there would be no cause for concern. Unfortunately, 

he was accompanied by Liu Yi, who not only lacked martial arts skills but also had yet to recover from a snake 

venom.

He couldn't let the other person go and let Liu Yi escape first—he was afraid that before he could take a step, 

these fierce wolves would pounce on him. Moreover, Liu Yi was poisoned and couldn't hold on for much longer.

This place is actually not far from the camp, but it is not very close either, and it just so happened that 

Si Cang Qing had ordered the guards not to follow.

With a chill in his eyes, Si Cang Qing said calmly, "Hold me tight!"

If you want to retreat, you must strike first.

As if they had sensed Si Cang Qing's motive, the wolves that were originally testing him suddenly jumped over 

with extremely swift movements. Seven or eight wolves trapped Si Cang Qing and Liu Yi in the middle, glaring 

at them fiercely with their cold green eyes, and leaped up with their front paws in the air, pouncing on them 

ferociously.

A powerful oppressive force suddenly burst out from Si Cang Qing's body. His true energy was completely 

released. He held the nearly fainted Liu Yi tightly under his left armpit. When the wolves pounced on him, he 

suddenly jumped up, and his right palm flew. The sharp Liuhua sword energy instantly tore the black wolf that 

was opening its mouth wide to bite him.

The black wolf didn't even have time to let out a miserable cry before it crashed to the ground.

Pursuing benefits and avoiding harm is the nature of animals. This sudden change caused the wolf pack to 

momentarily retreat. Si Cang Qing, holding Liu Yi's body, floated down from the air. However, his clothes and 

shoes were slightly torn—bitten off by a few wolves that had pounced earlier.

Standoff. One person is holding an unconscious person, facing seven or eight giant wolves, and neither side 

dares to act rashly for the moment.

"Cough cough..."

Liu Yi's painful groans came softly from under his armpit. Si Cang Qing frowned slightly; the situation had 

been too urgent earlier, and he couldn't pay attention to the other person's frail body. He released a powerful 

surge of true energy, fearing that the person's internal organs had suffered considerable damage...

Holding Liu Yi's hand, palm facing up, Si Cang Qing remained vigilant against the wolf pack while using his 

internal energy to heal Liu Yi's internal injuries. He discreetly surveyed the surroundings; the only way to gain 

temporary relief was to climb a tree.

...it's not a difficult task, especially now, this pack of wolves seems hesitant to attack recklessly.

Si Cang Qing assessed the situation and felt that Liu Yi's internal energy and blood were blocked, making it 

difficult for true energy to flow in. This person's condition was currently the worst. Without thinking much, 

Si Cang Qing suddenly embraced Liu Yi and leaped up. In an instant, a pack of wolves fiercely pounced towards 

them, intending to tear them apart.

But Si Cang Qing's movements were quicker. He lightly tapped the nearby branch with his toes and then 

leaped through the forest. At that moment, a damp sensation flowed over the back of his hand. He furrowed his 

brow and stopped among a dense thicket of branches.

Turning Liu Yi over, Si Cang Qing took a closer look. Even in the dim moonlight, he couldn't hide the 

bluish-purple lips and the grayish-white complexion. The eyes, nose, mouth, and ears appeared to have blackish 

blood slowly oozing out in the night.

The poison of daiqing is most lethal when it causes bleeding from the seven orifices.

Si Cang Qing quickly pressed down on a few vital points of this person, then gazed at the camp not far away. 

Before he could make a move, the tree trunk he was leaning against began to shake violently. Looking down, he 

saw that the pack of wolves, which had originally numbered only seven or eight, was now a dark mass, with at 

least twenty or more...

So many wolves, and considering this is a specially chosen campsite, the bushes are already sparse. If we want 

to escape, it will still be fraught with difficulties, and...

Si Cang Qing's eyes were icy cold, and his expression inscrutable as he stared at the pack of wolves circling the 

tree. They either intended to climb up or were clawing at the trunk.

The strangest thing was that so many wolves didn't make any howling sounds.

...It seems like someone is controlling it. If so, even if we return to the camp, it will be extremely dangerous 

with more than 20 giant wolves following us.

The tree trunk was shaking so violently that it was almost unable to support itself.

At this moment, the camp suddenly became chaotic, with people running around in a hurry and torches shaking - 

it seemed that something big had happened.

This tree is shaking and it may fall down soon. Si Cang Qing pulled off his belt, tied one end around Liu Yi's 

waist, and tied the other end diagonally around his own body.

Carrying a person's body on his back, he is still as nimble as a swallow. At the moment the tree fell, Si Cang Qing

leaped down. Before his feet touched the ground, he gathered all his strength in his hands - the energy of heaven 

and earth was all at my disposal; when the Liuhua sword came out, all things flew into flowers.

Countless invisible sword energies radiated from Si Cang Qing's body, with the airflow around his palms as the 

main cause. As the sword energy came out, a terrifying wolf howl suddenly sounded.

The surrounding woods were shaking rustlingly, and countless branches and leaves were flying away.

Landing gently on the ground, Si Cang Qing quickly withdrew one hand, tightly grasped Liu Yi's wrist, and 

tried his best to inject true energy to resist the pressure of the Liuhua Sword.

The wolf pack suddenly became chaotic. The wolves that directly hit the sword energy were all torn into 

countless pieces, and the rest were running around in panic, wailing.

The sharp howl of wolves pierced the deathly silence of the forest.

Just then, a large group of imperial guards holding torches rushed over.

◇Cang◇Huan◇Seven◇Palace◇

"Your Majesty!"

Cheng TianYang exclaimed in surprise, hurriedly running out from the crowd to stand in front of Si Cang Qing, 

"You're hurt?" But he saw that Si Cang Qing's white robe was stained with numerous bloodstains, large and 

small.

Si Cang Qing shook his head and looked at Feng Mo who had just arrived, "Take Liu Yi back to the tent and 

immediately ask the imperial physician to detoxify him!"

Feng Mo quickly helped the unconscious Liu Yi down from Si Cang Qing's back, then picked him up and flew 

towards the camp.

"What happened?" Si Cang Qing asked coldly, looking at Cheng TianYang, but his eyes were on the Imperial 

Guards holding torches and weapons, chasing down the heavily injured Black Wolves.

Cheng TianYang raised his hand to tidy up Si Cang Qing's disheveled clothes and hair, and replied with concern, 

"The camp was just attacked by a pack of wolves, just like the black wolf that attacked you, there were dozens 

of them!"

"Now?"

"Most of them were killed, and the rest fled." Glancing at the messy scene and the blood all over Si Cang Qing, 

Cheng TianYang suggested softly, "Your Majesty, let's go back first! We can talk about it in the camp if there is 

anything else."

Nothing serious happened here.

Si Cang Qing nodded and walked back first - the wolf pack's sudden attack tonight was very strange.

After returning to the tent, Si Cang Qing changed his torn and dirty clothes, took a shower, and then came to 

Liu Yi's tent: Liu Yi had already been poisoned by a snake, and later suffered serious internal injuries. I'm afraid 

he is in great danger.

"Your humble servant pays respect to His Majesty."

Si Cang Qing waved his hand and walked straight to Liu Yi's bed, asking, "How is the Prime Minister?"

"To respond to the Emperor," the imperial physician said cautiously, carefully choosing his words before 

continuing, "The Prime Minister's external injuries are not severe. I have applied medicine to him, and he will 

recover in a few days. However, the poison from the dark green snake is very potent. Even though the blood 

vessels were timely sealed to prevent the spread of the toxic blood, there are still signs of the poison permeating 

the internal organs. Moreover, he has also sustained internal injuries, so..."

With a hint of impatience, Si Cang Qing said coldly, "Speak plainly."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The imperial physician suddenly shivered and quickly said, "I have already drained some 

of the poisoned blood from the Prime Minister's body and used medicine to suppress the snake venom, preventing

further infiltration of the toxin, temporarily saving the Prime Minister's life. But to completely remove the snake 

venom and save the Prime Minister... I beg Your Majesty's forgiveness, I am truly powerless and at my 

wit's end!"

Hearing this, Si Cang Qing merely lowered his gaze and quietly looked at the person lying on the bed. The other 

person's expression was pained, and indistinct groans escaped his lips, cold sweat soaking through his clothes.

The atmosphere was tense and stagnant, the imperial physician occasionally trembling as he reached out to 

wipe the sweat from his face.

"Your Majesty..."

At that moment, a clear voice broke the oppressive silence in the tent. Cheng TianYang lifted the curtain and 

walked in gracefully. Stopping the imperial physician from bowing, he smiled and approached Si Cang Qing, 

gently advising, "Although the Da Qing snake venom is fierce, as long as it can be suppressed, there is no 

danger to life." He glanced at the nervous imperial physician, who was about to faint, and continued, "Since 

we are no longer in the palace, the imperial physician cannot find enough good medicine for the time being. 

Why not send someone to send the prime minister back."

Implying that there is still a Divine Doctor in the palace! Cheng TianBi's medical skills have long surpassed 

those of the Divine Doctors of the past, so much so that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he can bring the 

dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Si Cang Qing raised his eyes to look at Cheng TianYang, but did not respond. He then turned to the trembling 

imperial physicians beside him. After a long pause, he slowly spoke, "Immediately send someone to escort 

Prime Minister Liu back to the capital."

"Your Majesty," the previous imperial physician mustered his courage to speak again, "the Prime Minister's 

health cannot withstand any strain at this time..."

The mountain road is rugged, and the officials accompanying them all rode horses. Liu Yi's physical condition 

cannot withstand any jolting.

Si Cang Qing did not hesitate for a moment, and spoke in a deep voice, "Proclaim my decree: the imperial 

palanquin is to be granted to Prime Minister Liu. Tomorrow morning, the deputy commander of the Imperial 

Guards will escort the Prime Minister back to the capital for treatment." He then looked at the imperial 

physician, "You will accompany him and take care of the Prime Minister along the way. There must be no 

further mistakes."

Although Liu Yi’s poison should be treated as soon as possible, but... the siege by the wolves tonight is still 

frightening. Maybe the wolves that escaped are guarding not far away.

"I obey your command, Your Majesty!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards hesitated, "Your Majesty..." he asked hesitantly, "Then what will you 

sit on?"

Si Cang Qing glanced at the other person with a cold expression and said, "Ride a horse." He wasn't really that 

weak; without a carriage, he could still walk.

Not paying any more attention to the people with varying expressions, Si Cang Qing sat beside the bed and 

waved his hand, "You all leave for now."

The originally crowded tent suddenly became much emptier. Only Si Cang Qing, who sat there lost in thought, 

Liu Yi, who was unconscious on the sickbed, and Cheng TianYang who was standing there, not knowing what 

he was thinking.

After a long while, Cheng TianYang finally broke the silence with a soft voice, "Your Majesty, what should 

we do next?"

The wolves' siege tonight must have been manipulated by someone behind the scenes - otherwise, given the 

wild animals' fear of fire, it would be abnormal for the wolves to take the initiative to besiege the camp. In 

addition, the behavior of the wolves was strange, as if they were controlled by someone.
