Warlord of the Xili Kingdom
The Reveal of Truth

Zhaozu was currently in the Embroidery House that was in the center of the city. Liquor was neatly lined up at the table, and beautiful, sexy girls sat with him.

The two shadow bodyguards, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan, could not stop their Master from touching the alcoholic beverage. The events of one year ago, which made Zhaozu what it is today. Bastard, drunkard, in fact, he also became grumpy.

He was even very rude to anyone, without exception to his mother. Zhaozu now hated the Empress for a powerful reason. He did not want to meet, even tend to avoid while inside the Palace.

Ever since the report that the two shadow bodyguards gave, Zhaozu turned into what it is today. The black veil that had been covering his face, he opened in front of everyone. He was already indifferent to the enemy who was still wandering out there because, the enemy he had been looking for was in plain sight and was also always close to him.

Yep. The enemy who always makes himself hide his identity and divide into two characters, was always beside him. He was with her all the time and loved her whole heart. The enemy in the blanket, that's a suitable call for him.

Zhaozu clutched her fist tightly as she recalled the news that Liu Wei and Yu Xuan had brought a year ago.

"Your Majesty. We've made sure that the prisoner train doesn't reach the border area!" Zhaozu was shocked to hear the report.

"What's? What then? Where are the soldiers taking them?"

"We are turning towards a different path that residents rarely pass," Liu Wei paused. Before saying anything back, he took a quick glance at Yu Xuan who nodded surely. "And we .. found something in the haunted forest area," Liu Wei and Yu Xuan said simultaneously.

Zhaozu's frowning browsed at the facial expressions of the two shadow bodyguards. Clearly, fear and anxiety mixed into one of the faces of the two. Zhaozu was convinced that they were hiding something. "Say!" said brief.

Liu Wei's hand held out an object towards Zhaozu which was received with shock. It was covered in dried blood.

'Sunflower hairpins? This ... no .. no! It must be similar!" zhaozu's inner brushed off the possibility that was happening.

"This hairpin we found next to a woman's body. However, his body had rotted a little and his condition was also terrible. We can't recognize the body, Your Majesty!" liu Wei explained.

Cold sweat began to pour from Zhaozu's temple. Hearing the female corpse's words, her entire body trembled violently. Her hands trembled as she received the sunflower hairpin. The precious item he had given Xin'er before, there was only one in this World. So, there could be no such thing in any part of the world because, the hairpin was specially made by him at that time.

Zhaozu lied to Xin'er that she bought it at the jewelry store. In fact, it was made by his own hands. "This is his, his voice began to tremble when he touched the object.

"Your Majesty. It was possible that this hairpin was exactly the same as the Princess's," Liu Wei tried to comfort her. However, Zhaozu immediately shook his head.

"This hairpin I made myself. So, there's no way anyone would sneak him anywhere!" zhaozu's voice grew even more subtle and almost inaudible.

Liu Wei and Yu Xuan just silently could not say anything more. They gave space for his Master to ponder for a moment.

Zhaozu's hand clasped Xin'er's hairpin tightly. He closed his eyes before saying, "we're into a haunted forest now!"

"Good!" both answered.

...💫💫💫💫...

The Angker Forest.

Royal soldiers and police are collecting the body parts they found. The medical team is involved in this search.

All the pieces found were immediately taken over by the Forensic Team for autopsy. It was not just three corpses like those found by Liu Wei and Yu Xuan. As it turned out, more than twenty corpses were lying around with the same injuries. His whole body is not intact anymore, there is even a single head left. What a tragic death they got in this haunted forest.

After the autopsy was performed, all the pieces of matching body parts were immediately put together and buried properly. They identified all of them and marked the body bags with the names of each victim.

There was a name in one of the body bags that made Zhaozu's heart even more sick when she saw it. Disbelief as well as regret perched within him. His body fell to the ground hearing the Forensic Physician's report to him. "All his traits and DNA match that of the Princess, Your Majesty!"

Zhaozu was silent a thousand languages. Netra Eagle was now bowed my face with tears. His hand only gripped the strong dry leaves that were falling on the ground. Pain, sadness, regret, can not be expressed through speech. Only his body language can be arrested as proof of his guilt to the Wife.

It was late in the afternoon, but the man still did not get up from his place. There was no intention for her to leave the place where Xin'er's body was found. Although a stinging stench pierced his sense of smell, but he was not disturbed in the slightest.

Zhaozu looked her face up and started shouting. "Why Gods? Why did you take my wife this way? Wh why? Why Gods?" shed the clear liquid that had earlier pooled in his eyes. "It's free that I become the strongest man, if I can't protect my own wife." Zhaozu was downcast while crying sobbing. He couldn't hold tightness in the chest that seemed to squeeze his soul to death.

Liu Wei and Yu Xuan's hands touched Zhaozu's shoulders slowly. Honestly, both of them are hesitant to do so. But, they were also sad when they saw their Master crying like that. "Your Majesty!"

Still with a lowered face, Zhaozu said. "Xin'er must have been terrified when facing those Beasts. He must have shouted my name to ask for help," Zhaozu said without reprimanding her two shadow bodyguards.

"Your Majesty!"

"He .. he must have tried to fight with all his might. But ... but, his strength is far inferior to the inhabitants of this forest. She must be ... definitely ...!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Haaaaaaaaaa," Zhaozu's shout was only looked at with concern by the two shadow bodyguards.

Liu Wei and Yu Xuan let their Master spill all the sadness at this moment. They did not want Zhaozu to show this weakness before everyone. Therefore, both of them still let Zhaozu cry in this haunted forest. Maybe that would make him calmer.

Long enough Zhaozu and his two shadow bodyguards in the haunted forest. Until I felt the time had already shown the night. The howls of the Forest Dogs sounded from a distance. The three looked up to find the source of the sound coming from.

Aaauuuu, sir,

The wolf's voice came back and was very clear. Their small footsteps ran close to the position where the three men were.

Gggrrrrrr, i,

Screaming from the moans of the Beast to their long and pointed teeth. The claws of the long toenails were clearly visible between their toes.

Sardonic. That was the image of the Wolf's claws and fangs before them. Their bodies are very large and also quite long.

Zhaozu got up when he saw the beast that supposedly took his wife's life. He took out the Twin Dragon sword from its scabbard, and prepared to slash these Forest Dogs. "You are a group of lowly animals. How dare you take my wife's life!"

Tap ... tap .

Zhaozu dashed nimbly towards the inhabitants of this haunted forest while swinging his sword forward. The goal is only one, butchering the forest dwellers until it runs out. His sudden and fast movements, could not be predicted by the savage Beast. Thus, they had to gain the gentleness from Zhaozu's sword.

Seeing his Master moving forward to kill those Wolves, Liu Wei and Yu Xuan immediately helped him. Both of them did not stay still and immediately slashed the inhabitants of the haunted forest.

Although the movement of the Forest Wolf was very fast, but the three men were no less fast. They moved like the wind that just passed through the bodies of those Wolves.

Spring ... sring .. crash .. crash.

The group of forest Wolves were sprawled with fresh blood pouring from the scratches obtained due to the slash of Zhaozu's sword and his two shadow guards.

"Taste you, asshole!" zhaozu's heart was furious at this moment. His chest rose and fell as emotions overflowed.

Angrier. Of course he's very angry at the moment. He is like a man thirsting for blood. Even though he had slaughtered the group of Wolves until all his clothes were covered with blood, but he still did not feel satisfied because of his guilt towards Xin'er.

"Haaaaaaaaaa," once again Zhaozu cried out like a doormat. He didn't care if anyone else heard his screams.

...Connect, gaess ......
