Returning after a three-year escape from death, the tyrant has turned evil.

Chapter 114 The wolf is about to bite through her throat

Her expression was off.

Jiang Lanye immediately noticed, and ignoring her resistance, he walked directly in front of her, firmly grasped her thighs with both hands, and carried her on his back.

Upon seeing this, Song Yi immediately said, "Jiang Lanye, this is all mountain road, it's not easy to walk, it will be very tiring for you to carry me."

Jiang Lanye remained silent, but simply lifted her up a little.

"My physical strength is better than yours."

He suddenly said this.

It's unclear what Song Yi suddenly thought of, but she choked up and couldn't speak.

No one dared to approach Jiang Lanye as he carried Song Yi up the stairs step by step.

I do not know how long it has been.

Song Yi felt she had calmed down, so she leaned close to Jiang Lanye's ear and whispered, "Jiang Lanye, I've rested enough. Please put me down now."

Ahead, Zuo Sheng glanced back seemingly casually, then suddenly whispered to the person beside him:

"Go and see what's going on."

"Yes."

After a while, he returned and said to Zuo Sheng, "General, His Majesty is carrying the Imperial Concubine on his back."

Zuo Sheng immediately frowned and muttered, "His Majesty, as the Son of Heaven, has already suffered enough coming up the mountain with us. The mountain path is difficult to walk, and the Imperial Concubine insists that His Majesty carry him."

He simply couldn't understand why His Majesty would favor such a selfish and self-serving woman.

She is of no use except for slowing down the team's progress.

A soldier whispered to the side, "General, we've been climbing this mountain for half a day, how come we're still not halfway up?"

Zuo Sheng looked at the dense grass in front of him and said, "It should be soon."

They continued walking forward, and after a while, they heard Song Yi's voice coming from behind them again.

"I'm serious, put me down. You'll see, I can walk by myself."

Zuo Sheng frowned imperceptibly.

He really couldn't stand this Consort Yun; even just hearing her voice would make him subconsciously furrow his brow.

If it weren't for her prestigious status, Zuo Sheng would have kicked her out of the team long ago.

After Jiang Lanye put her down, Song Yi had just regained her balance when she quickly stood on tiptoe to carefully wipe the fine sweat from Jiang Lanye's forehead.

The weather is already cold, especially up in the mountains, where it gets colder the higher you go.

Jiang Lanye even broke out in a sweat.

Song Yi took a few quick steps forward, then turned back to look at Jiang Lanye and extended her hand.

"See? I'm really not tired anymore. If you are, I can pull you up."

Jiang Lanye chuckled briefly and readily extended his hand.

Song Yi told her to hold Jiang Lanye's hand, but as they continued walking uphill, Jiang Lanye walked right up to her.

Suddenly, the sound of flowing water was heard.

Song Yi was taken aback and quickly asked, "Is there a waterfall nearby?"

Jiang Lanye nodded slightly and said calmly, "Keep going forward, find the waterfall, and rest by the water."

"Yes."

We've almost reached the halfway point of the mountain.

The trees were so dense that Song Yi couldn't even look up to see what time it was.

Perhaps thinking that they could rest soon, everyone stopped talking and walked over in one go with their heads down.

The sound of flowing water grew louder and louder, and the surrounding area was filled with damp moisture.

Jiang Lanye took Song Yi's hand and walked over.

The waterfall isn't large, but the water flows extremely rapidly from a great height, creating a deafening roar.

Song Yi eagerly ran over, squatted down, scooped up a handful of water, and washed her face. Several generals walked over and looked at Jiang Lanye.

Jiang Lanye glanced at Song Yi, walked over and said, "I need to talk to them about some things. You stay here and don't wander off."

Zuo Sheng strode over, scooped up a handful of water, and looked coldly at Song Yi.

Song Yi, unaware of his gaze, placed her hands in the cold water and responded.

The sound of the waterfall was too loud, so Jiang Lanye and the others moved away from it and found a clean and tidy spot where they talked about something.

Seeing that Song Yi was still in a daze, Xi Chun smiled and said, "Your Highness, I just discovered some fruit nearby. The water here is clean, so I'll go with Eunuch Cao to pick some."

Song Yi was truly exhausted, but seeing that Xi Chun still had energy, he chuckled and said, "Alright, be careful."

Song Yi sat to the side, legs stretched out, hands clenched into fists, tapping her thighs idly.

Jiang Lanye had just finished listening to what these people were saying when he glanced around and noticed that Song Yi was alone. He immediately said, "Zuo Sheng, go and keep an eye on Consort Yun."

Zuo Sheng was taken aback.

Jiang Lanye said coldly, "What we are discussing today is not an important matter."

Despite his reluctance, he could only grit his teeth and agree.

Zuo Sheng strode over and sat down in a spot not too far from Song Yi, his face grim as he stared straight at her.

Song Yi clearly noticed his gaze and felt uncomfortable, so she chose to sit with her back to him.

Zuo Sheng chuckled softly and casually broke off some dead branches on the ground.

Song Yi couldn't help but yawn, and looking around listlessly, she asked in confusion, "Where did Xichun go?"

Suddenly, a rustling sound rang out.

Song Yi turned to look at Zuo Sheng and found him constantly looking down, fiddling with the branches on the ground.

It doesn't seem like he made the noise.

What happened?
Song Yi slowly stood up and called softly, "Xichun?"

Behind a sturdy tree, a thin wolf moved slowly on its four legs, its green eyes staring intently at Song Yi.

Its tail hung limply, and its eyes were sharp.

Song Yi touched her cold neck, and inadvertently glanced over, suddenly seeing a pair of wolf eyes staring straight at her!

In an instant, the hairs on my body stood on end, my scalp tingled, and I felt completely numb from head to toe.

It was a wolf! There were wolves!
It wasn't afraid of Song Yi at all; when it saw that Song Yi had noticed it, it even tried to take a step forward.

Song Yi's knees went weak, and he dared not run rashly.

If you startle it, it will definitely pounce on you.

"Zuo Sheng."

Song Yi shouted, trembling.

The sound of the waterfall was so loud that Zuo Sheng didn't hear it at all.

Song Yi swallowed hard, her eyes reddening, and called out again in a trembling voice, "Zuo Sheng!"

This time the sound was louder.

Zuo Sheng raised his head and looked at Song Yi impatiently. Then, he noticed that something was wrong with her. He looked directly in front of her and his expression suddenly changed.

"Your Highness, run!"

Song Yi was already frightened, and upon hearing Zuo Sheng's words, she instinctively obeyed. She turned to run, but just as she took a step,—

The wolf pounced, its claws hooking onto her skirt.

Song Yi was pulled backward and lost her sense of direction, only caring about running forward.

"what--"

She screamed, tripped over a stone, and fell to the ground!

Zuo Sheng quickly got up and prepared to rush over, but the wolf had already lowered its head and was about to bite Song Yi's throat.
