Fang Luxue hesitated for a long time, but decided to go in afterward and squeezed into the middle of the line.
The entrance to the cave is narrow, but it gets wider as you go in. After walking about ten meters, there is an open space of about ten square meters, with no way to go any further.
Wan Qiqi held the torch forward, stuck it in the corner of the wall, and turned to everyone, saying, "Regardless of whether the government troops or the bandits win this battle, it will inevitably attract the attention of the imperial court."
She glanced at everyone and said seriously, "If the bandits win, the imperial court will definitely prioritize suppressing the bandits and then rescue them. If we stay there, we will only be used as hostages and die with the bandits."
"If the government wins, the outcome is predictable, I don't need to explain further, do I?"

"What if the bandits win? How long will we have to stay here? Without water and food, will we starve to death?"

"Third, I'm not sure if the bandits know about this place, but it's certain that they won't easily venture into the deep mountains once they have enough food."
Fourth, wild animals are almost all afraid of fire, and will not attack people unless they are extremely hungry.
After Wan Qiqi finished speaking, she smiled faintly, "Alright, that's all I wanted to say. You can do whatever you want from now on."
