"General, come over and take a look. General Zi Yuan seems to be getting more and more sick." At this moment, when Nangong Xiong saw from the tent of the Violet Garden that the Violet Garden was trembling from head to toe and was even having a high fever, he instantly became anxious and immediately ran to Lan Cang's camp. As Lan Cang was thinking about how to deal with Murong Xiu, he suddenly heard that the Violet Garden was in such a dangerous situation and didn't say anything.

"Come, let's go take a look." After Lan Cang said this, he hastily rushed out of the tent. At this moment, the tent of Zi Yuan was already filled with many generals. When they saw the appearance of Zi Yuan, they all became worried.

"Marshal, come and see General Zi Yuan. She seems to be getting more and more sick." Yuan Hao immediately spoke up when he saw that Lan Cang had arrived.

"Zi Yuan, are you alright?" With one hand, he picked up Zi Yuan's left hand and pressed it to his chest with his fingers. Only after a careful touch did he realize that Zi Yuan's pulse was becoming weaker and weaker, as if it was going to stop at any moment, and Lan Cang also felt that this was inconceivable. The poison was so violent that it had already been a week since the ten-day period, and in three days, even an immortal would not be able to save Zi Yuan.

"Marshal, what should we do? This situation is not good for General Zi Yuan." Nangong Xiong also nervously shouted from the side.

"That's enough. Wait for me inside my tent for a while, and then we can discuss the countermeasures when I leave. I want to take a good look at the Violet Garden's condition right now." At this moment, Zi Yuan was behaving in such a manner, so what could he possibly feel in his heart? Thinking up to here, Lan Cang also scolded as the other generals could understand Commander Lan Cang's current state of mind. Thus, they did not say anything and just silently walked out.

"Zi Yuan, can you hear what I say?" At the same time, Zi Yuan was also able to hear Lan Cang's words and the concern of the other generals. However, he felt that if he were to speak a bit more, the inner Qi within his body would dissipate, so he was unwilling to speak any further. At this moment, Lan Cang had also started to ask, so he had to say something.

"Marshal, I feel really weak right now, but you don't have to worry about me." However, there was nothing to worry about. Although the Violet Garden had been in a weak state for the past few days, she would often think back to the past and want to teleport here as if this was a great calamity. Would she be able to escape the same situation as before? This was his life. Thus, the Zi family was betting that he would be transported to this place. It was impossible for him to die without being able to accomplish his mission.

"Zi Yuan, wh-what do you want me to say? Right now, I'm feeling extremely helpless as well." He wanted to send the Violet Garden to Murong Xiu, but if he really wanted to go there, it would be very difficult for him to come out again. Murong Xiu being able to treat the Violet Garden like this meant that he would have to be humiliated, and even if he died, he wouldn't be at ease. Therefore, this had been Lan Cang's constant guess, and it was also the reason why he didn't want the Violet Garden to leave.

"Marshal, you can leave first. I want to have a good rest by myself." Violet Garden also saw that there was nothing Lan Cang could do about it now. She knew that even Lan Cang would have no way of treating this poison. Since it had already come to this, she might as well leave the matter to the heavens.

"Alright, then rest well. Zi Yuan, you must believe me. I will not let you die like this." No one could bear to see their beloved person being so powerless in front of him. Lan Cang was a person who valued relationships greatly, and if possible, Lan Cang would be willing to cry in such a manner on behalf of Zi Yuan, but Zi Yuan was not weaker than a man. From the start to the end, he had never begged Murong Xiu for mercy, and the more Zi Yuan acted in such a way, the more Lan Cang's heart ached.

As soon as Lan Cang left, the sky became overcast with dark clouds. It was likely going to rain heavily at this moment. 'Helian, Helian, why haven't you come? Don't tell me you don't care about the person you love anymore?'

At this moment, there were only two possibilities for Helian Lie to not be here. The first was that Helian Lie had encountered a blockage on the road, and the second was that the palace had encountered a calamity, so Helian Lie was unable to come. However, based on his understanding of his good friend, Helian Lie would definitely come here for whatever reason, because the Violet Garden was here!

And now that there was no news from Helian Lie, Lan Cang started to panic. Within Lan Cang's tent, the various generals were also discussing amongst themselves. As they saw Lan Cang walk in, Nangong Xiong took a step forward and asked.

"Marshal, how is General Purple Garden? Is his life in danger?" At this moment, Nangong Xiong was also starting to worry for his good friend. When Lan Cang saw Nangong Xiong like this, he felt depressed and irritated, but when he saw Nangong Xiong's gaze, he subconsciously lowered his head.

"Marshal, is there no other way?" When Yuan Hao saw the expression on Lan Cang's face, he knew that there was no way for Lan Cang to save Zi Yuan. When he thought of this, the various generals all became abnormally silent.

"Marshal, then let's send General Zi Yuan to Murong Xiu's place. It's a dead man after all. If Murong Xiu goes back on his words, then we'll just slaughter him." When Nangong Xiong said this, the final wave of killing intent spread out, and behind him, Yuan Hao, Li Zhen, saw Nangong Xiong like this, they knew that their good friend had probably moved for the moment, but if it was him, he would also be surging with killing intent, causing the entire tent to be filled with a murderous atmosphere.

"Nangong Xiong, retract your killing intent!" Then, he gave Nangong Xiong a serious look. Nangong Xiong knew that he was being reckless and had actually managed to release the killing intent from his body in front of his marshal, and he slowly retracted it as well. However, his eyes were still staring at Lan Cang.

Seeing Nangong Xiong act like this, Lan Cang also felt helpless. Ever since the three of them had gotten drunk the last time, Nangong Xiong and Zi Yuan had also become good friends, and now that they saw their good friend lying there like this, no matter who it was, they would not feel good in their hearts. Lan Cang could understand Nangong Xiong's actions, so he did not punish Nangong Xiong.

"Everyone, let's discuss our options. Right now, I have no idea how we should decide on this matter." Lan Cang looked at the crowd and sighed helplessly.

"Marshal, did you not inform the emperor? What is the emperor's decision on this matter?" The relationship between the Violet Garden and the Emperor was also known by the various generals. Since the Violet Garden had suffered such heavy injuries, logically speaking, the Emperor should have also taken action. However, at this moment, he had yet to send out a signal, which caused the other generals to be puzzled. It was the same for Lan Cang as well, so they naturally did not know how to reply.

"I've already written a letter about the situation here and sent it to the emperor. I believe the emperor is on his way." After the generals heard their marshal say so, even if they were filled with doubts, they knew that they could not bring it up at this moment. It had already been a week, and arriving here four days from the Northern Yue had already passed, but now that they had arrived, it was already three days and they still had not arrived, so they were afraid that they would not be able to deal with the situation here. When they thought about it, their hearts sank.

"Let me tell you this, I've known the Emperor better than I know you guys for many years. The Emperor must have met with some kind of situation, or had already taken action, but we don't know that yet, so you can rest assured. What we need to discuss now is whether or not we should send the Violet Garden over to Murong Xiu."

"Marshal, just do as I said. If it's like this, then there's no point in thinking too much about it. I'm afraid only Murong Xiu has the antidote for this kind of poison." Nangong Xiong also felt that this was the most likely way to save Zi Yuan. If Murong Xiu really did something to Zi Yuan, then Zi Yuan's unyielding character would definitely not allow it, and Zi Yuan would choose to commit suicide. In that case, he and the rest would definitely take revenge for Zi Yuan, so the two armies could only fight!

Of course, if Murong Xiu was willing to pay any price for Zi Yuan, then the two armies wouldn't have anything to say. They could only fight, but there was one possibility: Murong Xiu had developed a deep affection for Zi Yuan, and the possibility of him giving the antidote to the poison was minimal. If that was the case, then the two armies could continue to maintain a stalemate.

"Marshal, I also feel that only General Nangong can do this right now. At the very least, we can save General Purple Garden at the last moment. Isn't the surprise attack last time the best way?" Yuan Hao also recalled the fact that the three of them had trapped Murong Xiu and saved Zi Yuan. Thinking of this, he wanted to repeat the same old trick again.

"Do you really think Murong Xiu is stupid? The same plan was used on the same person, do you think it will work? Besides, don't you understand?" "Last time, Mu Rong Xiu purposely tricked me because he had confidence in himself." After Lan Cang heard Yuan Hao's words, he immediately retorted. It was obvious that he was quite helpless towards Murong Xiu's actions.

"You can't fight then, but you can't send me off either. I can't just watch as General Zi Yuan dies like this, right? " Nangong Xiong was also tugging at his hair in pain as he spoke. His tone also increased.

"General Nangong, we can understand the relationship between you and General Zi Yuan. There is no need for you to act this way. It seems that this is the only way." Lan Cang let out a long sigh and said helplessly. At this moment, this was the only way out of this predicament. Otherwise, he would be able to drag it out, and not the Violet Garden either!

"In that case, we can only plan ahead." When Nangong Xiong heard Lan Cang's words, his eyes turned cold. After the generals heard his words, they also understood that it was the moment of life and death with Murong Xiu.

At this moment, the person in charge, Murong Xiu, was also feeling uneasy. It was already the seventh day, and he hadn't received any news from Lan Cang yet. Murong Xiu was also feeling a little anxious.

"Lan Cang, do you really have the heart to let the Violet Garden die just like that?" Murong Xiu muttered to himself with a cold expression. Murong Xiu was currently a bit indecisive, but Murong Xiu definitely wouldn't give up on the idea of obtaining Zi Yuan.
