"I'll go down and explore the way first." Baili Yanqing stopped Su Chenyu, "If there is really something under the water, I won't stop you from going down."
Su Chenyu thought about it for a while and could only nod in agreement.
Baili Yanqing and several guards tied ropes around their waists and then jumped into the water.
Seeing the river calm down again, Su Chenyu became more and more nervous. Time passed by, but still no one came back. She pulled the rope nervously, but there was no response.
Su Chenyu stood up and said to the guards on the boat, "I want to go down."
"Princess, your husband and the others haven't come back yet. No one knows what's going on under the Wu River. Please wait a little longer." The guards stopped Wu.
Just at this moment, the rope in Su Chenyu's hand moved. It was Baili Yanqing. She immediately looked towards the river nervously.
Soon, Baili Yanqing emerged from the water: "Chenyu, there is indeed a problem down there, come down." Then, Baili Yanqing looked at the guard again, "After you go out, immediately report that there is a secret room under the river, bring people over quickly."
The guard immediately responded and went back to find someone. Su Chenyu jumped into the water, and Baili Yanqing took her hand and sank to the bottom of the lake together.
Just when Su Chenyu was about to suffocate, Baili Yanqing took her into a dark cave, and the two came out of the water. Su Chenyu looked at the huge cave in front of her and was a little shocked: "Where is this?"
Baili Yanqing carried Su Chenyu out of the river and immediately used his inner strength to dry their clothes, fearing that Su Chenyu would get cold. "This should be a secret room under the river. Did you find it? After entering, the smell of saltpeter has become stronger."
"Indeed." Su Chenyu looked around.
A guard ran over from the front and said, "Princess, Prince Consort, there is still a way ahead, shall we continue walking?"
"Let's go." Baili Yanqing held Su Chenyu's hand and walked towards the only entrance of the cave.
After walking for a while, they saw the guards who had come down earlier waiting at the fork in the road. There were two roads, and they didn't know which way to go.
Two different roads lead to different directions. Su Chenyu thought for a while and said, "Yan Qing, you and I will each take a few people and act separately."
Baili Yanqing wanted to veto, but seeing Su Chenyu's determined eyes, he couldn't say those words. The current situation did not allow for sentimental feelings, and Su Chenyu's decision was the most correct.
"Okay, no matter what happens, you have to protect yourself." Baili Yanqing forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, "We have to be fine."
Su Chenyu nodded: "See you later!"
After they finished speaking, the two men, each with a few guards, walked towards the two passages.
Perhaps it was because she was not used to the absence of Baili Yanqing's company. She subconsciously looked to the right every time, but there was no one there.
Su Chenyu continued walking forward, and suddenly she saw a pearl on the ground. She picked it up and looked at it carefully, and finally remembered that Lian Qing was wearing a pearl hairpin on her head today, and this pearl might have fallen from her hairpin.
It seems that Lian Qing has been here.
Su Chenyu put away the pearls, looked up at the mountain wall, and found a gap underneath it. She went forward to check it out, raised her hand and knocked on the mountain wall. Listening to the sound, it seemed that something was wrong.
"Listen, is this mountain wall empty?" Su Chenyu asked. The guards also came forward to check and gave Su Chenyu a positive answer: "Yes, this mountain wall is not solid. It seems that there is something hidden inside."
Several people immediately started to pry off a small piece of the mountain wall along the gap. The scene in front of them shocked them: "It seems that there is a bomb behind this mountain wall."
Su Chenyu's face turned serious: "Pry open this section of the mountain wall."
