The guard who knew the location of the mechanism hurriedly stepped forward to open the exit, but after several attempts, no movement was seen. With surprise and confusion on his face, he gritted his teeth and tried again.
"Is there something wrong with the mechanism?" Arnold asked with a frown, his gentle voice sounding very dull in the cave.
The guard looked guilty, "Princess, my subordinates have tried to open the mechanism, but there was no response." With the light that had not been extinguished, he glanced at Arnold and continued: "I'm afraid..."
"Is there any other way?" Arnold interrupted him. With everything laid out in front of her, how could she not understand it if she was not a fool? The mechanism could not be opened, and the lights gradually extinguished from far to near, so it proved
The space here is closed. If you stay trapped here, you may be suffocated to death.
"The prince said that this is the most secret way out. When it was originally built, it was to quickly pass through the rockery and go directly to the palace, so no other passages were built."
"In this case, can we go back directly?" Arnold's brows frowned deeper and deeper. She already understood the current predicament. If she couldn't find another way out, she could only push back again.
"No, the mechanism here can only be opened from the outside." The guard's face showed deep guilt. His master had entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, but he could not successfully complete it.
Arnold felt cold, and an indescribable despair was slowly building up in his heart. She couldn't get out, she couldn't retreat, so she was caught in the middle either someone would open the passage from behind to save her, or the stone wall in front would be opened and she could get out. Otherwise, she could get out.
, they can only die in this passage.
Another oil lamp in the distance went out. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's find a way to put out the lamp first. Let's talk as little as possible and breathe more slowly. Hu Gechi will definitely guess if he doesn't get the news of our departure.
Now that we are here, we can only wait and wait for him to save us."
A flash of surprise flashed across the eyes of the guards, and they looked at Arnold with a hint of admiration. Making a decision so quickly and remaining calm in the face of death was indeed not something that ordinary women could do easily.
Several people looked at each other, slowly rowed the boat across with the oars, and put out the oil lamps one by one with great effort. Without the lights, the cave immediately became dark, and it was impossible to see even if it was close at hand.
Who is on the opposite side?
This is a completely dark and completely closed world. People often have a kind of fear in the dark, but now no matter what kind of fear they can only suppress.
"Princess, this servant is a little scared." Ulan gently held Arnold's hand. She never spoke, but it didn't mean that she wasn't scared. She had never seen such darkness, and even a little bit of light could
She couldn't see, the boat was rocking, and the unpleasant smell in the cave made her even more frightened.
"I'm scared too." Arnold said softly, with a hint of sigh in his voice.
Wulan's hands tightened, "How long do you think it will take for the prince to come?"
"It should be soon, Wu Enqi will definitely be back."
"Well, the prince has always been the most decisive, and this time he will definitely find out that we are trapped the fastest."
Arnold didn't answer, but she understood that no matter how fast she was, she had to protect Khan first. If she didn't go ashore, then they wouldn't find out that she hadn't gone out. Therefore, whether she could rescue them quickly or not, it only depends on the assassins.
Whether the number was large or not, and whether the extermination was successful.
