Chapter 132 - Wait For Me (2) (2/2)

Did, did I come back?

Zhou Xiaoxiao was shocked and happy. She walked to the brook and under the moonlight, she washed herself.

She looked at herself through the surface of the water and it reflected a fair and delicate face; it was herself.

However, her body contained a lot of energy and strength right now.

She seemed to be like a cuckoo.

But no matter what, she returned to the ancient time.

She should go find Xingzhi.

Zhou Xiaoxiao patted her face.

Right, Xingzhi. Did something happen to him?

…

Right now, in that burned and ruined yard, Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong each led a group of people as they glanced gloomily at the ground.

On the burnt soil, there was an outline of a person.

After Guo Suren inspected it, he went back and reported, “Replying to the prince, there should’ve been a corpse lying here originally and they weren’t that tall.”

He paused before saying his observations in an objective manner. “This person’s limbs didn’t curl up, so they must’ve been killed first before being set on fire. After that, the corpse was moved away. That could only be the reason why there was the outline of a person on the burnt ground.”

The enemy probably wouldn’t set their own people’s dead bodies on fire.

Then the corpse that was lying here originally was most likely…

Cheng Shizhao and Yu Xingyong exchanged a gaze.

Their hearts felt heavy.

It couldn’t be his fifth brother. Yu Xingyong thought in his heart.

However, it might possibly be their sister-in-law.

If sister-in-law unfortunately got into an accident and died in front of their fifth brother, it’d be a huge blow to him. They didn’t know if he could hold on.

Cheng Shizhao felt a slight pang in his heart. He didn’t dare to think anymore. He said, “Is that method effective or not? Are you sure we won’t get lost?”

“Those Khitan people are very sneaky and swift. They hid their tracks well and they’re not easy to stalk in the first place.”

Yu Xingyong patted the black hunting dog by his side and said, “Thankfully, the fifth brother carried the honey fragrance exclusively provided by the western regions. This fragrance is long lasting and wherever he went, the fragrance would follow. The most unique part is that normal people couldn’t sense the fragrance, but a specially trained hunting dog would be able to. This is our Yu Family’s special trick used exclusively by spies.”
