"It's been a whole night, a whole night, why haven't Commander Jiangg and the others returned yet?"
At dawn, Princess Jie Youu, who had just stepped out of the tent, made a single round and immediately her voice started to tremble.
"I'm not sure about this!" Ye Zhen looked worried, "Maybe they went to hunt down the demons, or perhaps they were injured, or maybe...."
The rest of Ye Zhen's words went unspoken, but the meaning was all too clear. Realizing a certain possibility, Princess Jie Youu's delicate face immediately turned as pale as paper, and she stumbled back into the tent. "What should we do, what should we do?" she said, directing a helpless gaze toward Ye Zhen.
"Your Highness, the best choice now is for us to set off immediately. As long as we enter Xitian County, you'll be mostly safe!" Ye Zhen said.
"Set off immediately, without waiting for Commander Jiangg and the others? What if they return?" Princess Jie Youu's expression was somewhat bewildered.
