Chapter 257: I Want to See You Alive
Yun Muheng was so shocked that he turned pale in an instant, and his face was ashen as if covered by frost.
He rushed to the shaft outside in a panic, quickly stretched out his hands to tightly grasp the horse's reins, and tried his best to tame the wild horse that was running like a wild horse.
However, the opposite happened. The horse seemed to have fallen into a state of madness and completely lost its mind. It ignored Yun Muheng's instructions and continued to gallop forward regardless of everything.
Seeing that the carriage was about to fall into the abyss, at the critical moment, Yun Muheng did not hesitate to hug Ye Chuxue tightly in his arms, trying to jump off the carriage with her in order to hope for survival.
Unfortunately, it was too late. The carriage had already reached the edge of the cliff, and the two men fell straight down along with the carriage.
Almost at the same time, Chen Yuhe and Wanshan's earth-shattering, soul-stirring roar came from behind: "Prince! Princess! Don't do that!"
Chen Yuhe and Wanshan watched helplessly as the carriage plummeted off the cliff like a meteor. Their eyes instantly turned blood red, and their faces were distorted with extreme fear, becoming almost hideous and terrifying.
The two men were extremely anxious. They quickly dismounted their horses and rushed to the edge of the cliff like an arrow.
At this moment, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, followed by a downpour from the sky. Raindrops as big as beans fell down with crackling sounds, forming a dense rain curtain in an instant, making people's vision extremely blurred.
Wanshan stood aside, and suddenly, his eyes turned red and his eye sockets were filled with tears.
A low roar came from his throat, like the roar of a wounded beast.
The roar echoed among the cliffs for a long time.
At the same time, Chen Yu stared blankly at the bottomless cliff below, as if he had lost his soul.
The scene before him was too much for him to accept. He opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.
Everything that just happened was like a nightmare to him, and he even hoped that he could wake up from it immediately.
After a long while, Chen Yu seemed to come back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He was completely overwhelmed by anger and sadness, his entire body trembling uncontrollably. He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white from the force he exerted.
His teeth were clenched and his lips were bitten so hard that they were almost bleeding.
Suddenly, Chen Yu rushed forward, jumped up, and pretended to jump off the cliff.
Wanshan, who was standing by, was quick-witted and quick-handed. He rushed forward and grabbed Chen Yu.
He used all his strength to hold Chen Yu's arm tightly, fearing that if he let go, the other party would fall into the abyss.
Then, he stretched out his hands to hold Chen Yu's shoulders, his eyes wide open, glaring at Chen Yu and roaring, "Come on! If you're just trying to commit suicide like this, how can you avenge the prince and princess?"
Hearing Wanshan's scolding, Chen Yu slowly raised his head and stared at Wanshan with empty eyes.
After a moment, he slowly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't want to commit suicide... I just can't believe that the prince and princess left us like this...
I must go down and take a look. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I must find them... Alive or dead..."
Having said that, Chen Yu swallowed hard, and the rest of the sentence was stuck in his throat, and he ultimately couldn't say it out loud.
Wan Shan didn't dare to relax at all, and said in a trembling voice: "Since things have come to this point, I can't let you jump down like this!"
He then paused for a moment, then continued, "How about this, you take the others down the mountain to look for clues.
As for me, I will immediately return to the city to mobilize more troops and horses. Together we will conduct a thorough search and must find the prince and princess!"
Chen Yu pondered for a moment and felt that this plan was feasible, so he nodded in agreement.
Then, as if he suddenly remembered something important, he added, "Oh, right! There is one more crucial thing. You must bring people to firmly control Prince Yunning and the woman named Guan Qiuyao.
In my opinion, this incident is definitely closely related to these two people, and we absolutely cannot let them off easily!"
When he said this, Chen Yu's eyes became extremely cold, which made people shudder.
However, what was unexpected was that when Wanshan anxiously led his troops back to the dilapidated temple, he found that it was empty and there was no one in sight.
Seeing this scene, Wanshan's heart sank and he thought to himself that something was wrong.
But time was running out and he couldn't afford to hesitate too much, so he led everyone to rush to the foot of the mountain without hesitation, hoping to find any clues about Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue as soon as possible.
It is a pity that time passed quickly and five days had passed, but they still could not find any trace of the two people.
During this period, everyone worked tirelessly to search the entire foot of the mountain thoroughly, but the results were not satisfactory.
The only discovery was a carriage that had been smashed to pieces and was in a terrible state of disrepair beside a river.
In this badly damaged carriage, lay a body that was also smashed beyond recognition - it was the once majestic Lord Tianye.
Faced with such a situation, Wanshan acted decisively and quickly arranged for people to continue searching downstream along the river.
But even so, everyone's efforts were in vain, as if Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue had disappeared from this world out of thin air, with no trace of them left.
When Ye Xiaotuan and Ye Xiaoyuan heard the news, the two young children were heartbroken and couldn't help but burst into tears.
They could not accept such a cruel fact, so they locked themselves in the room and did not step out of the door for the whole day.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into the house through the window, illuminating the tear-stained faces of the two children.
After a night of torment, they finally plucked up the courage to walk out of the room and came to the place where they found the carriage at the foot of the mountain.
Here, two small figures slowly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times respectfully.
From this moment on, Ye Xiaotuan and Ye Xiaoyuan seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly.
On their once innocent faces, the smiles as bright as flowers in the past can no longer be seen.
Instead, there was an indifferent expression that was extremely disproportionate to their age, as if they had experienced countless vicissitudes of life overnight.
After returning from the foot of the mountain, Ye Xiaotuan seemed like a different person. He was no longer mischievous and playing around like before, but instead devoted all his energy to practicing martial arts.
Every morning, before daybreak, his small figure can be seen on the training ground, undergoing arduous training with many soldiers.
Although he is still young, his seriousness is no less than that of an adult.
At the same time, Ye Xiaoyuan immersed herself among the sick people and followed Doctor Zhang closely to learn medical skills.
She listened carefully to Doctor Zhang's explanation, carefully recorded the characteristics and treatment methods of each disease, and practiced them herself.
Seeing such huge changes in their two children, Chen Yuhe and Wanshan felt both relieved and anxious.
They know their children are working hard to grow, but they also worry that they will burn out from focusing too much.
However, faced with the children's firm determination, they were helpless.
Just when everyone was worried, Ouyang Zhi received the news. After learning about the situation of Yun Muheng and Ye Chuxue, he hurried over without stopping.
The moment Ye Xiaotuan and Ye Xiaoyuan saw Ouyang Zhi, the emotions that had been suppressed in their hearts for so long burst out like a flood.
