Chapter 251 She Could Not Be Left Alone
After listening to Ying Yi’s question, several people kept silent for a while. They were a little uneasy in the mind.
“She fell from such a high place. Even if lucky, no one will be safe. Now there are only two possibilities. One is that the Princess had been rescued because we also found the Princess’s sleeves in the woods.” Li Xiao thought for a moment and said again.
“What about the other?” Ying Yi asked again.
“The second is that the Princess fell into Yanjiang and was washed away by the surging Yanjiang…” Ying Er said.
Looking at the surging Yanjiang, they only prayed in the mind that it shall not be the second one. When the Princess fell off the cliff, she could have been exhausted. Otherwise, how could she be dragged down by Mo Yilou so easily?
If the Princess fell into Yanjiang in a situation like this, then the consequences were really unimaginable!
“Search! Keep searching! The Princess must be found!” Li Xiao ordered calmly.
The crowd nodded and all agreed.
“Li Xiao, we continue to find here, and you go back to reply first. Whether it is found or not, the Master must be given an explanation.” Ying Er looked at Li Xiao and said solemnly.
Li Xiao’s body was slightly dazed when he heard the sound of the Ying Er. And he was also thinking about Jun Yeyan’s situation at the moment.
Maybe… The Master would go crazy…
In this world, if the Master had something to care about, then that must be the Princess.
However, the accident about the Princess was likely to cause a storm.
“I know. You continue to search! Don’t ignore any clue! No matter what happened, we have to give the Master an explanation! We must bring back the Princess to Master safe and sound!” Li Xiao nodded and said earnestly.
Ten Dark Shadows all nodded, and their eyes were firm and earnest.
After some discussion, they led their own people and began to search in all directions.
Li Xiao, on his way to the stronghold, held the red silk tightly in his hand, without any relaxation.
Since the Princess could not be found here, the chance that the Princess was still alive was greater compared with the possibility that she died, which also gave the Master and them hope!
One of the Ten Dark Shadows had gone presumably downstream the surging Yangjiang.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Liushuang thought for a moment and decided to rest for one night before continuing to search at dawn.
Several people, including Li Xiao, did not know that Liushuang has actually found Mo Yilou’s corpse long before them.
Originally, Liushuang came under the cliff and searched. Since he sensed something unusual in the grass, he quickly pulled out the grass for a look.
He found that the man in the grass was Mo Yilou who was already dead.
Without seeing Bai Aoxue, Liushuang originally planned to leave. Since Mo Yilou was dead, he had no value. Anyway, his corpse would be thrown here. And in the evening, wild animals would appear and devour it.
Only in this way could his hatred be relieved.
Thinking like this, Liushuang was going to leave. With a glance, he saw the brilliant red cloth. He quickly walked to Mo Yilou’s side, lowered himself, and looked at Mo Yilou. He caught the cloth in his hand tightly.
As long as looking at it, Liushuang knew that it would be the cloth from Bai Aoxue.
That was probably pulled off by Mo Yilou when he pulled Bai Aoxue down the cliff.
Originally, Liushuang intended to take the cloth out of Mo Yilou’s hand, only to find that Mo Yilou should hold the cloth tightly. Liushuang had to force apart Mo Yilou’s fingers with hands.
It also showed how resentful Mo Yilou was before he died.
After a closer examination, Liushuang found that if Bai Aoxue fell off the cliff together with Mo Yilou, Mo Yilou could not have only torn a corner part cloth of Bai Aoxue.
However, at the moment, no matter how hard he searched, he did not see Bai Aoxue.
Looking up at the high cliff, Liushuang thought carefully in his heart.
Maybe when Bai Aoxue and Mo Yilou both fell off the cliff, Bai Aoxue made resistance at such a crisis time!
She was injured and fell off the cliff. It was impossible for her to leave by herself. When she fell off the cliff, he had already come to the bottom of the cliff.
Even if she left, he could find her. But he searched so many places but did not see Bai Aoxue.
Moreover, Bai Aoxue had no reason to leave on her own. Under such circumstances, she should wait for them to search and rescue.
If not, then there was only one reason!
When she fell off the cliff, Bai Aoxue broke the shackles of Mo Yilou, fell into Yanjiang, and was washed away by the surging water of Yanjiang!
With such a thought, Liushuang was more convinced that his inference was correct.
With speculation, Liushuang also knew where to look for her. So, he stopped staying here and headed for the lower reaches of Yanjiang.
But just a few steps, looking at the incomplete brilliant red cloth in his hand, Liushuang felt a twitch in the heart.
Knowing the fact that Bai Aoxue didn’t want to upset Jun Yeyan while falling off the cliff, he had already known that she had made a decisive decision. If there was only one person who could live between her and Jun Yeyan, she would resolutely choose Jun Yeyan and give up her own life!
He looked at the surging water of Yanjiang. A pair of peach-blossom-like eyes were less brilliant than before, with more gloomy shadow.
Tightening his fists, Liushuang slowly turned back, walked to the side of the trees, and hung the red cloth in his hand on the branches to make the false appearance that the cloth was broken by branches so that no person would doubt it.
No matter whether he could find her or not, now he had to give Jun Yeyan hope.
He was also a man who cared about Bai Aoxue. He believed that Jun Yeyan would not give up as long as there was a glimmer of hope.
Then he gave Jun Yeyan hope so that no matter where Bai Aoxue was now and whether she was safe and healthy, she would be happy.
Only by giving the man hope could she be happy.
And he only wanted to make Bai Aoxue happy. No matter what he did or how he did it, he didn’t care.
After hanging up the cloth, Liushuang stopped staying and quickly turned toward the downstream.
If she fell into Yanjiang, the chances of survival were too low. However, he believed that Bai Aoxue would surely live. There was not any reason. But he had such belief in his heart.
“Aoxue, wait for me. I will definitely bring you back to him!” Looking at the bright moonlight, Liushuang murmured softly.
Did the beauty in the distance hear it again?
On this side, Li Xiao, who rushed back to report, also happened to meet Nalan Youhong and his followers who arrived in a hurry.
“What’s the matter? After hearing that, we arrived here at night. Something wrong happened to Aoxue?” At the sight of Li Xiao, Nalan Youhong walked quickly to Li Xiao’s side and asked in a heavy voice.
And several people including Mumian, who had just got out of the carriage, were anxiously waiting for Li Xiao’s answer while hearing Nalan Youhong’s question.
Li Xiao looked at the looks of several people, and his face moved slightly.
These women, in Bai Aoxue’s eyes, were all relatives. And they also regarded Bai Aoxue as their only support. If they were told such things about Bai Aoxue, could they bear it?
Li Xiao asked himself and felt a little uneasy.
“Bring them in and talk.” Zhao, who arrived sometime, looked at the awkward atmosphere and said faintly.
However, feeling Li Xiao’s hesitation and Zhao’s seriousness, several people including Mumian only felt that plenty of things must have happened to Bai Aoxue.
“Let’s go first.” Nalan Youhong looked at Zhao and gently nodded.
After saying these words, he took several people including Mumian into the courtyard first.
“How was the search?” Zhao looked at Li Xiao and asked softly.
Li Xiao shook his head slowly and showed Zhao the cloth in his hand. And he said, “I want to see the Master.”
Zhao looked at the red cloth in Li Xiao’s hand and nodded, “Ju Xiao is watching outside. You can go directly. I will tell them things about the Princess.”
Li Xiao looked at several people including Mumian in front of him, and turned to Zhao, and sighed softly.
After saying these words, the two separated and headed for their respective destinations.
Walking to a quiet courtyard, several people including Mumian put their luggage away without sorting it out. They looked at Zhao and said, “Let’s talk about what Lord Zhao wants to say now. We will listen.”
Nalan Youhong did not speak either, just waiting for Zhao to tell them what had happened.
Zhao looked at a few people and remained silent for a while. After a while, he said, “The reason why I tell you is that I think it is necessary for you to know this. After all, the Princess regards you as relatives. But no matter what happens, you should not fall into despair.”
On hearing this, the three people including Mumian and Wenxi lost a heartbeat.
As if something had been about to break through the cocoon and eat their hearts.
Inhaling deeply, Wenxi said calmly, “Please tell us, Lord Zhao. Since we are the people of Miss, we will not be easily overwhelmed by anything!”
On hearing Wenxi’s words, Hongxiu and Mumian both nodded and agreed.
“Something happened today. The Princess fell off the cliff with the enemy to save the Master. Despite the search and rescue, the Princess has not been found yet.” Zhao simply told several people who were confused about the matter.
While several people including Mumian and Wenxi, looking at Zhao’s expression, changed from disbelief to shock and finally to severe grief.
“What did you say!? You said my Miss fell off a cliff?! Why didn’t you protect her?!” The first to react was the traditionally weak Mumian.
At the moment, Mumian had lost her serenity before. She rushed to Zhao’s side within a few steps, grabbed Zhao’s collar, and asked indignantly.
“Why don’t you save Miss!? My Miss has not had a good day since she was the wife of your Master! Which time does she come back without injuries? I thought you would protect my Miss, but now?! Now you tell me that you have no idea where my Miss is after she fell off the cliff! How elder do you think my Miss is? Why does she need to bear so many things that she should not bear?” Mumian screamed, cried, and roared. Her face had already covered with tears.
No one thought that Mumian, who had always been weak and calm, seemed to be a different person at the moment. Now she was like a desperate cub, screaming in vain.
“Mumian, calm down. Calm down. Perhaps Aoxue is safe and sound? Now he just says that he hasn’t found her yet. If she hasn’t been found, it means that Aoxue is still in someplace and definitely alive!” Nalan Youhong took Mumian into his arms and soothed her softly.
Listening to Mumian, several people including Zhao were shocked slightly. They didn’t expect that Mumian would say these words, which they could not argue.
Pushing Nalan Youhong aside gently, Mumian whispered, “In which corner? Perhaps Miss at this moment is waiting for you to save her? I’m going to find Miss. I can’t leave Miss alone in that cold and solitude corner.”
