Saving the foolish general, she accidentally becomes his favorite.

Chapter 410 Thorough Investigation of Mistakes

Everyone in the grassland tribes knows that wolves are the most dangerous creatures, yet wolf packs are also the most united species, with mothers and cubs bound together. If a wolf cub is captured and not released, it will provoke the pack's ferocity. Today, these wolves are clearly attacking innocent people for the sake of these cubs.

As the mother wolf who found the wolf cubs retreated, the rest of the wolf pack also retreated. However, there were many civilians present, and the panic caused by the wolf pack rushing in led to a stampede. In the chaos, many people overturned the braziers, and the colorful ribbons used in the sacrifice were burned. The flames quickly spread to the entire Fengshen Festival sacrificial site!

Many people had just escaped the wolves' attacks and hadn't even had time to rejoice when they were surrounded by fire, screaming in near despair...

"Help! Fire!"

"What bad luck I've had today! Wolves and fire!"

"Run! The fire is coming this far!"

"Feng Shen has punished us! It was Feng Shen's punishment that attracted the wolf pack and the heavenly fire!"

"help……"

Most of those present were herders from grassland tribes, living a simple life and never having witnessed such a catastrophic scene. They were terrified and kept running away. Meanwhile, the warriors who had learned martial arts immediately picked up tools and went to put out the fire after it started.

The grassland king directed the orderly evacuation of the crowd from the sacrificial altar to prevent further damage from trampling.

The injured civilians clutched their wounds and cried out loudly:

"Miss Mu, please save me!"

"Dr. Mu, please save my child!"

Ye Li's original intention was to experience the culture and customs of the grassland tribes. However, her leisurely attitude was forced to step in and help the wounded amidst such tragic casualties. She promptly stopped the bleeding and applied medicine to those bitten by wolves, and quickly instructed those burned by flames to wash their wounds with running water.

After the eldest prince finished driving away the wolves, he discovered the fire and immediately fetched water to extinguish it. His figure moved back and forth between the sacrificial altar and the riverbank next to it, busy without stopping for a moment.

The second prince was also busy. At the beginning of the wolf attack, he injured his arm while saving people. Even now, with his arm bleeding, he is still carrying water to put out the fire. The second prince's perseverance has moved many ordinary people.

The fire started quickly, but with everyone working together and a water source nearby, it was extinguished in no time...

After the dust settled, everyone in the grassland tribe was so exhausted that they collapsed to the ground.

They had dressed very formally for the celebration, and some girls had even dressed up specially to see their sweethearts. But now, almost everyone was disheveled, their faces as black as charcoal, and they looked extremely miserable...

The grassland king's blood-red eyes stared at everything present. He clenched his fist and smashed the table next to him. The Fengshen Festival has always been an important festival for the grassland tribes and an opportunity for the people to witness the prosperity and peace under the rule of the leader. Now, the solemn and majestic scenery of the past is gone, and instead, it has caused bloodshed. This is the worst Fengshen Festival since he has led the grassland tribes!

The grassland king shouted, "All warriors, listen to my command! Move the wounded to a safe place for treatment!"

"Yes!"

Before the grassland king could even speak, many people had already helped the injured to the shepherdess for treatment after the fire was extinguished. In no time, Ye Li was surrounded by layers upon layers of people.

After counting the number of injured, the eldest prince reported back: "Father! A total of 29 people were injured, and no one died. However, the fire spread too quickly, and most of the sacrificial offerings were burned. The sacrificial ceremony may be..."

It's probably impossible to do.

Seeing this, many people were already panicked and at a loss:

"This is terrible! The sacrifice has failed, and Feng Shen will definitely be unhappy!"

"What happened today is really strange. Nothing happened for so many years, and suddenly a pack of wolves appeared and a fire broke out. It's like a harbinger of disaster..."

The people below whispered amongst themselves, their murmurs forming a sea of ​​rumors that nearly drowned out the WeChat account that the Grassland King had been building.

The grassland king frowned and ordered a thorough investigation into today's events, with the first priority being the cause of the trouble that had attracted the wolf pack—the wolf cubs that had been lured and captured.

"Boss, what's going on with your cage?!"

The eldest prince looked around; it seemed he couldn't escape today's turn of events. He said calmly:

"Father, I don't know why there are wolf cubs. Please investigate!"

The second prince retorted angrily, "Elder brother, do you think you can escape punishment by saying this?!"

"You have ruined the Fengshen Festival. If Father doesn't punish you, it will be difficult to quell the public's anger. If you confess your guilt, the people present can at least see your sense of responsibility. But instead, you've shirked your duty!"

"Father, you saw it too, the scene was so tragic, all because my elder brother hunted wolf cubs and caused this disaster. Don't be fooled by him!"

The grassland king looked at the eldest prince with a stern face, then at the second prince, and finally ordered his confidant: "Go and find out who put the wolf cubs in the eldest prince's hunting cage."

The attendants obeyed and headed straight for the hunting cages. Each hunt in the grassland tribe involved a specially marked arrow. Each cage was marked with the hunter's marks of all the prey and the number of prey. After being checked by several people, each person would leave their mark as proof.

The grassland king's confidant was the one who planned to thoroughly investigate the markings of all those who registered their prey. If the wolf cub was in the cage from the beginning, then there must have been a trace on the registration. Conversely, if there was none, it meant that the prey had been released there without permission.

Seeing that his father had sent people to investigate, the second prince continued his analysis: "Father, even if there was a wolf attack, our grassland tribes have many brave warriors, and this disaster shouldn't have happened. It was only because of the subsequent fire that the sacrificial ceremony failed. I believe my uncle also neglected his duties in managing logistics, since the Fengshen Festival is related to your political achievements. Now the people are full of resentment, and I'm afraid..."

The second prince stopped there, secretly glancing at the grassland king before lowering his head and muttering:

"Please, Father...investigate this thoroughly."
