Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
Discovery of Corpse

Liu Wei and Yu Xuan moved swiftly towards the East, as per the instructions they had obtained. Their goal is only one, finding Xin'er and her family sent as Royal prisoners.

Their steps stopped at a crossroads. In front of them there was now a forked road, both of which were both heading towards the border region.

The two Zhaozu shadow bodyguards, were currently in a state of confusion to choose which path to pass. Given, these two paths have their own differences.

If the horse-drawn carriage passes the right track, they will have no difficulty due to the ample widness of the road and the flat surface . However, it takes a very long time up to two days because, must pass through several villages and cross the river.

The left lane is very effective if you want to get to the border faster. However, the left lane is very dangerous and risky, because it must pass through the wilderness and also rocky mountains. So, it was impossible for the soldiers to choose this path. Liu Wei and Yu Xuan thought.

Therefore, the two shadow guards shot through the right lane. But, they did not know that the path taken was different from the soldiers who took Xin'er and her family.

Although the movement of the two was very fast, but they could not catch the Horse carriage carrying royal prisoners. In fact, they are now very far away and almost at the border area. Just cross the river, then arrive at the border of Dongnam. In fact, from here they could see the Wind God Temple.

"This is impossible! Why are the soldiers invisible at all?!" the faces of the two were currently becoming riled up, when they did not find the entourage of soldiers escorting Xin'er and her family as royal prisoners. In fact, there was no sign that the river had been crossed by a boat. Because, the boat used to cross is still tied sweet in place.

The two stared at each other, before speaking again. "Don't .. ah, shit!" rushing them around turned back towards the opposite direction. Although it has been very far, but they are willing to return to be able to find the wife of his master.

Wushh ...

The movement of both is like a wind that blows, without anyone seeing.

...💥💥💥💥💥...

Meanwhile, at the Palace.

"Why didn't Mom prevent Xin'er from leaving? I'll know for myself, that my wife didn't commit the crime charged by the investigator!" zhaozu's heart was currently growled. He even clashed first with the police investigation department.

The empress could only fall silent at the anger of her son. In fact, he himself could not bear to see his son-in-law treated and humiliated like yesterday. But, what could the Empress do to exonerate Xin'er of her charges?

Dielus gently shoulders Zhaozu by staring at haru, then the Empress lands her head on the chest of the child. "Are you angry with Mom for not being able to prove the truth about your wife?" the sad question escaped the Empress' mouth.

Zhaozu lowered her head to look at her mother. "I'm not angry with Mom. It's just, I'm a little disappointed that Mom couldn't persuade Dad about this. I was angry with myself who couldn't take good care of my wife. He must have been angry because I wasn't there at the time. She must be disappointed, Mom!" he said with deep regret.

"Son. If both of your shadow bodyguards find Xin'er, take her to safety. Don't bring him here because, all the people of Xili have hated him." the Empress gave her advice. "Zhaozu, listen to your mother. Although Xin'er doesn't live inside the Palace, Mother will give her a decent life." The Empress tried to convince her son at this time. He was the same as Zhaozu, full of regrets.

A long sigh rang out from Zhaozu's mouth. He was very sorry for not coming home quickly to the Palace, having discovered the truth. Although he did not get the evidence, but at least he can help his wife free from false accusations.

After meeting his mother, Zhaozu immediately went to the military headquarters. He returns to be Zhaoling, the Warlord. His job is to collect all the evidence and find out who is behind the conspiracy. His heart was furious because, as a husband, he could not help his wife and prove the truth about her.

Zhaozu firmly gripped the papers piled up in front of him. The paper contained evidence of Xin'er's crimes that the investigator had obtained.

Pyaaarrr

"Arrrggghhh," it seems very difficult to solve this conspiracy case. Even though Zhaozu tried so hard, they still wouldn't believe it. "What do I have to do to get you out, Xin'er?" his face bowed lethargic after he rubbed it violently. "Jeez, Xin'er. I'm sorry!" zhaozu said his regret.

...💫💫💫💫...

Three days already Liu Wei and Yu Xuan were looking for traces of Xin'er, Master Xiaoyu and also Xiaolang on the opposite path. They seemed to be deliberately hidden by the thick fog that enveloped, so it could not be seen anywhere.

Although his efforts have not been fruitful, but both are still eager to find the existence of his wives and their families. The cold night wind did not dampen the determination of the two to continue searching.

The two Zhaozu shadow guards in the forbidden forest area. They frowned when they saw the area covered with shady trees that were famous for being haunted. The darkness of the night adds to the increasingly gripping atmosphere. There are other ways besides passing through the forest. But, if the impatient person will certainly pass through the forest so quickly to arrive, without knowing what is waiting for him there.

Like the soldiers who took the royal prisoner. They chose the path to enter the forest, in order to shorten the time. But because they were overnight, they ended up being surrounded by the Beast of the forest.

Before entering the forest, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan looked at each other first. After being sure, the two quickly moved into the haunted forest.

Not far away they entered, the sense of smell both presented something that smelled bad. Both stopped while closing their noses. His heart became anxious as the fishy smell of blood that smelled grew stronger.

With careful steps, as well as high alertness, the two continue to step while occasionally paying attention to the surrounding area and following where the sense of smell takes it.

A pungent stench smelled from a fifty meter radius with their current position. Pieces of blood-stained cloth were seen splattered all along the street. The hearts of the two were increasingly angry to see the piece of cloth.

The two stared at each other, then nodded simultaneously as the legs continued to step forward. The smell of foul smelled more pungent .. the more attention.. the more make the heart deg-degan .. and ...

"God, corpse!" both of them were surprised. Not just one, but three people at once.

The bodies are in terrible condition. His entire body was torn apart by long and sharp claws. The abdomen there is a large hole of the former canine teeth, until the intestine is broken out. His face was unrecognizable because it was rotting.

Seeing from the physical condition of these corpses, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan were convinced that they had come under attack from the haunted forest-dwelling ferocious beasts. The question is, whose body is this? Judging from the clothes they wear is like ...???

"Detainee's clothes?!" both of them were shocked not dumbfounded, seeing the reality in front of their eyes.

Although there was little lighting, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan could confirm that the clothes these corpses wore were royal prisoners' clothes. Around the bodies there are also some items that they are very familiar with. One of them is a hairpin that is always worn by his wives.

With trembling hands, he picked up the object and observed it closely. Truly, right now he hoped that it was not an object he saw often every day. But hell, fate seems to be playing tricks on his current feelings. Although only a glance at it, but Liu Wei can confirm that the object in his hand is Xin'er's hairpin. "This ...?!" Liu Wei was unable to continue his words because, Yu Xuan had already snatched the thing from his hands.

"Doesn't this belong to the Princess?" Liu Wei nodded with Yu Xuan's question. "Then these bodies are ...? It can't be!" he looked down to check.

Liu Wei was fixated on the spot without moving a single bit. His gaze was straight towards the corpse that was face down with extremely severe injuries. "Yu Xuan's. How would Mr. Zhaoling express if he knew his wife had ...?"

Yu Xuan looked up at the silent Liu Wei with teary eyes. "Don't conclude what's not clear! The corpse was not necessarily the Princess," Yu Xuan continued to dismiss Liu Wei's remark. In fact, his heart was very troubled at this moment.

'Hopefully the corpse is not the Princess!'
