Xie Yao walked along the road down the mountain. At first, he could still find a few footprints, but after not going far, those footprints completely disappeared.
Xie Yao continued to go down the mountain with a normal expression, as if she didn't notice that the footprints disappeared.
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that the other party had changed the route while walking. It seemed that the other party's vigilance had not relaxed at all because this was a wilderness!
The other party is very cautious.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Yao came to the foot of the mountain again and watched the group of people searching for Chu Han's whereabouts at close range. The feeling was completely different from the distant view just now.
Looking from a distance is just a general look, while looking up close is more direct, intuitive and shocking.
Emperor Zhaochu sent many people, and the search and rescue scale was much larger than the one she led with the soldiers in the military camp.
When the people sent by the emperor saw Wu Feng, they came over and talked about the extent and results of the search during this period.
"Princess, you have only rested for one day and two nights at most, why are you here again? There are generals and others here, and nothing will go wrong. Princess, please rest assured!" Vice General Guo saw the princess appear and came over quickly.
"It doesn't matter. I can't find the prince, and I can't sleep well. It's better to come over and take a look. Maybe there will be some gains." Xie Yao spoke calmly and looked around solemnly, "Have you found any clues?"
Vice General Guo shook his head feebly, a little frustrated.
"It's okay, keep looking. There will definitely be results!" Xie Yao said and walked in one direction.
When she was just at the top of the mountain, she glanced down and saw a few places that were still barely obscured by the mountain, and there was a small, relatively safe place.
Vice Admiral Guo looked back and saw that Wu Feng was still talking to the people sent by the emperor, so he followed Xie Yao and protected him secretly.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "There is a discovery here!"
Xie Yao's heart moved, a strange look of expectation flashed in her eyes, and she immediately turned around and hurried over.
By the time she arrived, the place was already crowded with people.
Seeing this, Vice General Guo quickly stepped forward to clear the way, "Everyone, give way! Princess Han is here, make way for Princess Han!"
When the crowd heard the sound, they separated to both sides.
Xie Yao stepped forward and saw a shoe buried in a sand pit on the ground, but the sole was upward.
"Those are the prince's shoes." She recognized them at a glance!
After receiving the princess's affirmation, the surrounding area became quiet for a moment. Almost everyone's eyes revealed a look that they wanted to dig out immediately, but they were a little afraid to reach out.
The sole of the shoe is facing up... If this shoe is still on King Han's feet, it means that King Han kept it in an inverted position in the mud and sand for six full days!
"Princess, let's go over there and take a rest." Wu Feng couldn't bear it and said to Xie Yao.
Xie Yao shook her head and was the first to squat down in front of the shoes and dig out the soil around the shoes with her hands.
Although she didn't make a sound, her actions proved her determination.
When her hands touched the still damp soil and the fabric of the shoes, Xie Yao's mood was very complicated. Even she herself didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling now!
Uneasy? Uneasy? Anxious? Expectation?
She doesn't know.
All she knew was that the shoe was leaking more and more, and it reached her ankle within a few digs!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Xie Yao's hand, concentrating on it for an instant! They even forgot to help dig it out!
Xie Yao's eyes also fell on the shoe, and with a little force of her hand, she scooped up another handful of soil.
Wow!
There was a soft sound, and everyone felt relieved, along with a strong sense of disappointment.
The shoes fell over and were not worn on Chu Han's feet.
Xie Yao's hand froze in place, and then he took it back after a moment, with an expression that was indescribably complicated.
Wu Feng's eyes darkened, and he stepped forward to comfort him: "Princess, it's a good thing that only the prince's shoes were found. Now that both shoes have been found, the prince's location should be in the area surrounded by the two shoes."
Xie Yao nodded, feeling a little lonely.
Chu Han, you left so many clues and we have found them all, why don't you come out?
Perhaps it was the silent thoughts in his heart that played a role. Just where the shoes were found, the soldier who was digging suddenly shouted again, "Ah! Legs! Legs! There are two legs here!"
Boom!
Everyone looked over instantly, feeling as if their hearts were hit hard!
It was a pair of legs, with the feet facing up and the waist facing down, diagonally inserted into the sand, with only the knees and above exposed!
The next second, those legs swayed and fell straight down!
He is actually only half a body!
Everyone was startled, with endless fear in their hearts!
This... this is too tragic!
If this is King Han...
No one dares to think about it!
Although six days have passed since the incident, many people have already acquiesced in their hearts that King Han must be gone, but seeing it with their own eyes still makes them feel shocked! They are terribly scared!
Many people even turned around and did not dare to look.
Xie Yao's eyes passed through the crowd at this time and fell on the pair of legs outside, and his face suddenly turned pale!
Immediately afterwards, her vision went dark, and she fell straight backwards.
Wu Feng has been standing by Xie Yao's side. Seeing that the situation is not going well, he immediately reaches out to support the princess, "Princess, princess?"
"Yes." Xie Yao made a weak response from her nostrils, and after a moment, she opened her eyes a little.
At that moment, she almost fainted, but it was the strong belief in her heart that made her wake up again!
She must see Chu Han, no matter whether Chu Han is alive or dead, no matter what Chu Han becomes!
Seeing that the princess did not faint, Wu Feng also breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking of the legs he found over there, his eyes were scarlet and his voice was hoarse, "Princess, I will help you go over there and have a rest."
He couldn't bear to see the prince in such a state, let alone the princess!
Xie Yao forced herself to wake up, so she was very weak.
Even so, she tried all her strength and shook her head firmly.
Facing Chu Han, even if everyone else retreats, she will not retreat!
After a moment of slowing down, she gained some strength again, stood up, and walked towards her legs exposed on the ground.
step.
Two steps.
Every step seemed to consume all her strength, and even more, all her mental energy!
She could clearly feel that her legs were shaking, her hands were shaking, and even her heart was shaking!
But even so, she still kept moving forward without any hesitation!
