Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

Shi Li, along with a group of guards, conducted a carpet search within the hunting area.

But until the sun set, there was no trace of Xie Yan'an.

Instead, she met Shi Qing who came to look for her.

Shi Qing looked her up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that she was safe and sound. Then he noticed her pale face and knew that she was worried about Xie Yanan.

"I'll go with you in the search." His voice was calm and firm, giving Shi Li some courage.

Otherwise, the guards would have become lazy and not willing to bother.

Now that Qing is with us sometimes, no one dares to be lazy anymore and everyone concentrates their attention.

After another round of searching, I still found nothing.

Looking at the impatient guards behind him, Shi Li frowned and came up with a plan.

Turning around, he raised his voice and said to everyone:

"If we return empty-handed at this time, His Majesty will surely punish us. Why don't we continue our search? If we find Prince Rong, you will also be rewarded."

Everyone knows that today's incident was a big deal, and any guard on duty today will inevitably be the target of anger and punishment afterwards.

But if they could really find Xie Yan'an, the emperor would not blame them too much at that time.

Everyone was busy lighting torches to search.

As time passed, Shi Li became increasingly anxious. She couldn't find any trace of Xie Yan'an after searching so hard. She didn't dare to think of the worst, but her heart was getting heavier and heavier.

When he walked forward in a daze, he was stopped by Shi Qing.

"There's a cliff ahead, we can't go any further." Shi Qing held up the torch and looked at her with a serious look in his eyes. In his mind, the chances of Xie Yan'an surviving were already low.

When he heard the word "cliff", Shi Li's eyes lit up unexpectedly. Without saying a word, he jumped off the horse and almost trotted to the edge of the cliff.

Shi Qing was startled by her action and quickly followed her.

Shi Li held the torch and looked carefully down the cliff.

"Do you suspect that Xie Yanan fell down?" Shi Qing was standing beside him, frowning and disagreeing.

If Xie Yanan really fell from here, then the possibility of him still being alive would be even smaller.

"I want to go down and take a look." Shi Li turned around with a serious expression.

Shi Qing grabbed her and said, "Mingyue, don't talk nonsense!" He thought his sister was crazy.

"No, what I mean is that you hold me with a rope from above. I think there might be a place to hide under the cliff." Shi Li knew that Shi Qing had misunderstood, and explained with gestures.

Although it was bizarre, she had read many novels and biographies in later generations, so she thought it was possible. What if Xie Yan'an was really down there?

Shi Qing kept frowning, obviously not believing such a bizarre thing.

Besides, it was already late at night, making it more dangerous than during the day.

"Brother, he and I are getting married on the 18th of next month." Shi Li saw that persuasion did not work, so she said this anxiously.

Once you say it out loud, you are revealing your thoughts.

The expression on Shi Qing's face finally changed. He looked at Shi Li in disbelief, his pupils trembling.

After a long while, he finally let out a long sigh.

"Okay, I'll go down for you." He would never let Shi Li take this risk.

But at the same time, Shi Li couldn't let him take risks.

"Brother, I can only feel at ease if you hold the rope up there." She said so clearly that Shi Qing couldn't refuse. "If you go down, I won't be able to hold you. If it's someone else, I won't feel at ease."

The person pulling the rope above does have a heavy responsibility.

Shi Qing glanced at the strange guard. Even if he tied a rope and went down the cliff, he was worried about Shi Li staying there.

There are assassins even around the emperor, so how can he trust anyone else now?

"You really know how to give you problems." Finally, Shi Qing frowned and compromised helplessly.

The other guards had not expected the two to make such a decision, and they all looked horrified. Some even hesitated and wanted to go down to take a look on Shi Li's behalf, but they were all rejected.

The reason is still the same - distrust.

Shi Li tied a rope tightly around her waist. One end of the rope was tied to a thick tree on the cliff, and was also held firmly in Shi Qing's hand.

He watched Shi Li walk to the edge of the cliff and stretch out a foot, and couldn't help but remind her, "Be careful, don't be too stubborn."

"I know."

Shi Li agreed patiently, then pulled the rope around her waist and lowered herself down little by little.

In the boundless night, even if you look down, you still cannot see the bottom.

She pulled the rope with great effort and slowly let herself fall down, paying attention to the stone wall in front of her.

Her hands were sore, but she held on tightly.

After falling for several meters, he did not find any clues, but the rope was long enough, so Shi Li continued to go down until he suddenly stepped on solid ground.

There was indeed a bulge halfway up the cliff!
