C69 (2/2)

The 10 or so people dismounted from their horses. Sikong Ming gestured to the people behind him.

He then brought Qu Xue'er along with him and followed the crowd as they moved forward. After walking a few hundred meters, dozens of houses appeared in front of them.

It was very quiet inside as he opened the half-closed wooden door. Occasionally, a breeze would blow past, causing the door to creak.

”Search!”

After receiving the order, the guards quickly dispersed to search for a corner.

”General, inside...” ”Nothing.” It was because he knew the purpose of this trip, in addition to the presence of the Grand Princess.

He hesitated for a moment before speaking out loud.

Sikong Ming had just checked it out when they were searching and found that the spark at the very end of the brazier containing the bonfire on the side of the road had completely disappeared.

There was not a single spark left. Normally, this sort of place would leave behind a spark for use at night.

The fact that they had all disappeared meant that they had already left. The traces of the wheels near the back door had been washed away.

They left last night.

Sikong Ming made his decision in his heart.

”You're still too late, aren't you?” Unknowingly, Qu Xue'er had arrived beside him.

Sikong Ming turned his gaze and muttered to himself as he looked at the scars on the ground with his pure white face.

The disappointment and desolation in her eyes was self-evident.

”Grand Princess, Godly Doctor Gu is just …”

”I know,” Qu Xue'er was still looking at the mark with a wooden expression, ”Last night, it was all my fault, I did not get the news about him immediately, and did not find help to save him immediately.”

As she spoke, a huge teardrop fell down her face.

Grand Princess, Godly Doctor Gu was just taken away, he is not dead yet, do you need to be so sad?
