After a short while, Kangxi rushed over. Qingyan had already released the little guy, who was waddling outside, barking as he went.
The wolves remained silent when the cubs howled, but then a long howl followed.
"Father, what's the situation up ahead?" Yin had been keeping an eye on Xiao Shunzi from behind and was unaware of the situation ahead.
"Fourth Prince, what's going on with this little wolf?" Kangxi had no choice but to ask.
Previously, the wolf pack had not acted aggressively. Even when they surrounded the camp, they did not charge it like last time. However, after a wolf cub's angry howl, the wolf pack was completely enraged and charged into the camp, resulting in the deaths and injuries of some of the guards.
Yin Zhi's small action resulted in the deaths and injuries of more than a dozen guards from the Upper Three Banners.
Once we return to the capital, the censors will definitely call my name in the imperial palace.
After he finished speaking, Yin quickly explained how the little wolf had been rescued.
Kangxi frowned deeply. Fortunately, Qingyan ran fast enough; if he had been even a little slower, things might have turned out very differently tonight.
"Go to the place where you are, and personally interrogate Xiao Shunzi. You must find out who is behind this!" Kangxi ordered.
When the boys were learning horseback riding and archery, the shaman would always tell them that they must never provoke young wolf cubs on the grasslands.
Xiao Shunzi was completely stunned; he was simply carried away by the two Xiao Sulas.
"Little Darling, you..." Before Kangxi could speak, he noticed a fully grown white wolf appearing around the camp. Its fur was incredibly thick and smooth, and many guards couldn't help but swallow hard. If only they could hunt such a fine pelt.
The white wolf walked up to the wolf cub and lovingly licked it. It could sense that the cub was very weak and would not survive if it followed the pack.
Seeing how weak its cubs were, Xiaobai's eyes flashed with a cold light. Behind it appeared a white mother wolf and a cub that was close to adulthood. The three white wolves were licking the cub's fur. Qingyan saw this and understood that Xiaobai had gotten married. The majestic mother wolf was Xiaobai's wife, and the one accompanying them was the leader that Xiaobai had chosen for the wolf pack.
After the family was reunited, Xiaobai carried the little white wolf to Qingyan's side. It pushed the little wolf against Qingyan's defenses and looked at her with its icy blue eyes.
"Little White?! You want me to raise it?" Qingyan asked, bending down.
Little White shook its big head; the little guy wasn't in good health.
"Little darling, is this Xiaobai?" Kangxi and Consort Tong asked upon hearing this.
Wolves are wild, and very few of them are grateful.
"Father, this is Xiaobai. After we left, this little guy probably didn't go back. He might have married and had children here!" Looking at the wolf pack behind them, Yin had to admit that Xiaobai was truly courageous.
Emperor Kangxi smiled slightly. It was only natural that the little darling was liked by wild beasts.
"Little darling, Xiaobai is giving you his son, so raise him." Kangxi already knew that Yinzhi had captured Xiaogonglang. Looking at the little wolf's wobbly little body, it seemed that Xiaoshunzi had still hurt him.
Yin breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the little white wolf could stay by Qingyan's side, that would be fine. What Yinzhi and Dong'e wanted was always out of their reach.
"Yes, Father Emperor!" Qingyan was finally relieved of his worries.
"We should still have wolves, but don't keep them in captivity!" Kangxi was relieved to see that the crisis had been averted.
Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Kangxi and Consort Tong leave.
"Little White, are any of your wolves dead or injured?" Qingyan didn't want Little White Wolf's position to be threatened.
Xiao Bai nodded, saying that it didn't matter if those who weren't strong in combat died or were injured.
“To die a worthy death is the way of the fittest!” Yin said from behind her.
Both the man and the wolf in front of him turned to look at him, and the guards around him felt it was worth it, as they had actually seen the legendary white wolf.
"Little White, go back and continue living your life well. I'll release it back when your son grows up." Qingyan patted its little head. Little White's eldest son circled around Qingyan several times, its adorable little eyes melting Qingyan's heart.
Little White let out a low growl, and the little white wolf stood up shakily. The little guy's hoarse voice made Little White a little worried.
Qingyan hugged the little white wolf into her arms, looking at its reluctant eyes.
"Let's name it Snowball." Qingyan patted the little white wolf's head, its little face scrunched up.
At Xiaobai's long howl, the wolf pack retreated layer by layer into the depths of the grassland.
"Snowball, you will be living with me from now on. You will only be able to see your father and mother after you grow up!" Yin looked at the situation of Xiaobai delivering the child and realized that Xiaobai must have discovered something.
Animals are generally very sensitive; they probably sensed something was amiss.
"Sisi, Little Snowball will be living with us from now on!" Qingyan said with some worry. Yin had just given her a snow leopard, and now there was another little white wolf.
"I can take good care of the little one!" Yin patted Xiao Guai's shoulder.
Qingyan carried Xueqiu and left with her. Xiaobai was really brave, entrusting her youngest son to her care so easily, even though Yinzhi was right beside her.
A moment later, Yinzhi and Dong'e heard that the leader of the wolf pack was the little white wolf from back then, and that the little white wolf they had captured had been handed over to Qingyan to raise. Their mood instantly plummeted.
When Xiao Shunzi was preparing to deal with the little white wolf, many wild wolves stormed the camp, killing and injuring many guards. All of this would be blamed on Yin Zhi.
"My lady, has Xiao Shunzi returned?" The wolf pack had all retreated, but Xiao Shunzi had not yet returned, which made Yin Zhi very worried.
He wanted to go out of the tent to check the situation, but was stopped by the guards.
"Not yet, my lord. Do you think there might be a problem?" Dong Eshi was terrified. If there really was a problem, it would definitely not be a small matter.
His Majesty must know; Kangxi has a detailed grasp of all the news within the camp.
When the white wolf appeared, Kangxi did not make a fuss, probably because he didn't care.
This news can no longer be kept secret; with so many casualties, even the censors will be alerted.
"Master, Xiao Shunzi shouldn't reveal your identity!" Dong Eshi said with some worry.
She was the one who wanted the white wolf cub, and it was also her idea to have Xiao Shunzi kill the white wolf cub.
Previously, Consort Rong had already given him a cold shoulder, and now... Emperor Kangxi probably wouldn't let her off easily out of respect for his father.
Yin Zhi trembled even more. The two wolf attacks on the camp, which resulted in dozens of deaths, were all caused by his momentary negligence.
"Princess Consort, don't worry, there won't be any problems dealing with the White Wolf!" Yin Zhi shook his head. Xiao Shunzi was his most trusted servant; he certainly wouldn't betray him.
