Seeing Eunuch Wang like this, Chaoge immediately lost her patience and immediately inserted a silver needle into him, turning Eunuch Wang mute again.
"System, please help me find the mechanism leading to the underground palace."
[Host, feel around the dragon bed carefully. There are usually many hidden weapons in places like that. It would be too dangerous if you go down rashly. Besides, you don't have the soft armor that is invulnerable to swords and guns anymore.]
"I can't care about that now. If there are too many hidden weapons, then I'll just take the armor and go down. Anyway, even if I have to burn down the palace tonight, I'm going to get Xuanyuan Haocang out!"
While communicating with the system, Chaoge had already begun to carefully feel around the dragon bed.
Glancing at Chaoge's actions, Eunuch Wang was sweating profusely. He didn't know where Chaoge came from. Not only did he break into the palace of their Xiling Kingdom alone, but he was also able to enter the bedroom without alerting anyone. Could it be that those royal guards were just decorations?
With a crisp "click" sound, the piece of carving that Chaoge was pressing on was originally convex, but when she hit it, it suddenly seemed to sink, and at the same time, a slightly crisp sound was emitted.
Hearing this voice, Chaoge raised the corner of his mouth, and saw that the wooden board at the foot end of the wide dragon couch had directly lifted up.
"Aren't underground palaces the places where royal family members are buried? Could it be that the Xuanyuan family's underground palace is really connected to the imperial palace? I remember my mother captured tens of thousands of children and took them to the imperial mausoleum to perform rituals. Logically, the imperial mausoleum should be the underground palace, so why is the Xuanyuan family's underground palace under the emperor's bedroom?"
[The underground palace is an underground palace. If you are not sure whether Xuanyuan Haocang is down there, it is best to use the wood-related skills to survey it first. What if this eunuch Wang deliberately tricked you into going down there, just to use those hidden weapons to deal with you? ]
Even if the system didn't remind him, Chaoge was planning to do so.
She jumped down from the opening on the dragon bed without hesitation and slowly walked down the stairs.
As she walked, she did not forget to use the wood skill to explore deeper. However, when the wood skill was activated, she had no idea that this so-called underground palace had winding stairs and an iron cage three hundred meters away. It was not until she reached the deep end that there was a little light.
What surprised Chaoge was that after she walked for nearly two hundred meters, went down countless stairs, and turned several corners, she did not touch any mechanism or hidden weapon.
"It seems that we are still worrying too much. Maybe this is just the place where the emperors of Xiling Kingdom hid things."
【But don’t take it lightly. 】
After walking another two hundred meters, Chaoge's wood skills could cover the area with light a little bit.
What surprised her was that there were several women there, each imprisoned in a different iron cage. The cages were no longer intertwined on the stairs, but were all laid flat on the ground covered with carved stone slabs.
The women were dying, and it was impossible to tell whether they were dead or alive. They all lay on the beds in the iron cages, motionless.
The light came from a larger iron cage. If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that the light came from the luminous pearls inlaid on the iron cage.
But, where is Xuanyuan Haocang here? However, she unexpectedly met the person she wanted to meet!
Yan Xifeng, who was taken away, was actually locked up here by Xuanyuan Haocang!
This discovery made Chaoge, who was feeling a little lost, couldn't help but grin. He quickened his pace and ran towards the iron cage inlaid with the night pearl.
Now, she could foresee Yan Xifeng's excited reaction after seeing her, but Chaoge couldn't help but sigh that after searching for a long time, she unexpectedly met such a good hostage.
"Swish swish"!
Just when Chaoge was less than a hundred meters away from the iron cage, suddenly feather arrows were fired at her from all around!
The sound of the arrow breaking through the air caused Chaoge's body to react quickly in excitement!
Yan Xifeng, who was originally resting on the bed in the iron cage, suddenly opened his eyes when he heard the noise, and immediately got off the bed and ran towards Chaoge.
When the arrow was shot out, a little more hope appeared in her eyes, which had originally looked ashen.
Unfortunately, it was pitch black a hundred meters away, and she could only rely on her hearing to determine that someone had triggered a mechanism not far away and was avoiding the arrows.
After Chaoge avoided the first batch of arrows, he entered the space directly under the cover of night!
What the system said was right. She had no soft armor to protect her body now. If she was not careful, she would be pierced by thousands of arrows.
She didn't want to die, and it would be too unfair for her to die from a hidden weapon.
After entering the space, the feather arrows outside were fired hundreds of times in succession, and then finally stopped. Chaoge looked at the feather arrows all over the ground outside with a frown on his face.
She knew that if she showed up again now, those mechanisms would definitely be activated again!
In order to verify her idea, she picked up a stone in the space and threw it out of the space.
Sure enough, the moment the stone fell on the slab, in the still darkness, countless arrows once again attacked the direction where she disappeared.
Ten or so stones were thrown in succession, and at least one or two hundred arrows were fired out continuously each time. At least three or four thousand arrows were fired from the moment Chaoge triggered the mechanism.
Chaoge's mouth twitched, and he continued to throw stones more than ten times. The mechanism outside seemed to have stopped, and no more arrows were fired.
When she saw this situation, she hurriedly jumped up from the grass in the space, and threw it twice again without giving up. After confirming again that there was no feather arrow, she flashed out of the space without hesitation.
Because of the darkness, the people imprisoned here could not see what was going on. They could only vaguely hear the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, and then feather arrows were shot out continuously.
Looking at the women imprisoned in the iron cages, who were driven crazy by him, Chaoge felt very innocent.
She continued to walk towards Yan Xifeng carefully. Fortunately, until she reached Yan Xifeng's iron cage, no mechanism was opened again, so she was finally relieved.
Chaoge's appearance made Yan Xifeng, who was clinging to the iron fence, go from being shocked to being surprised, and finally to having her eyes filled with anticipation. She finally spoke.
"Little, little pigeon?! You are a little pigeon, right?"
Hearing Yan Xifeng's address to himself, Chaoge couldn't help but sneer.
However, Chaoge had never expected that even though he had disguised himself by wearing a human skin mask, Yan Xifeng could still recognize him.
But none of that mattered. Before, she just didn't want to reveal her identity as Princess Mo. But now that the two countries were at war, what else did she have to worry about?
Anyway, even if she is the princess of Xiling Kingdom, even if it will be exposed in Xiling Kingdom sooner or later, it doesn’t matter. She doesn’t care about these titles at all, even if the people of Xiling Kingdom hate her.
