The prince is very cruel

The narrow space and darkness gave people a sense of claustrophobia, but he felt nothing at all. Because of him, Yuan Xiang also seemed less scared.

"Ugh..." She retched.

"How long will it take to climb?" She helped Guan Ning wipe the dirt off his face. It was really too dirty and smelly down there.

"About a quarter of an hour. I remember that the sewers in the capital city lead to the moat. There is an underground river under the moat that leads to the river. We can only take the water route now."

"Waterway?" Yuan Xiang's face turned pale instantly.

"Then, doesn't that mean we have to swim?"

Guan Ning sensed her fear: "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll carry you underwater."

In fact, he was not sure either, because the underground river was not the same as the original Fengdu River. No one knew what it looked like, where it led to, how long it was, how narrow it was, everything was unknown.

Many explorers in later generations went to explore the underground river with complete equipment, but still could not get out.

But this is the only way now. It is impossible to attack head-on. There is not enough black gunpowder. Even if there is enough, it probably won't work. This is the only way.

"Okay..." Yuan Xiang whispered. Although the sewer was dark, one could still vaguely see her uneasiness and fear. She hugged Guan Ning tightly.

The two men crawled in this narrow sewer for more than a quarter of an hour. Their clothes and hair were extremely dirty, even dirtier than those of homeless people.

But fortunately, the sound of rushing water emerged.

"in front of!"

Guan Ning exclaimed, a look of joy appearing on his face.

He struggled to climb forward and saw that several underground waterways converged to form a larger underground space. The highest point was even large enough for him to stand upright.

The water was flowing violently, almost forming an underground waterfall, and no one knew where its source was.

Looking down, there are strange and uneven rocks. The water is very deep and bottomless, and it appears to be a dark blue color.

"There is actually such a place under the capital." Guan Ning was shocked and had to admire the wisdom of the ancients. With such a drainage channel, no matter how heavy the rain was, the capital would not be flooded.

"Do we want to jump in now?" Yuan Xiang was nervous and kept holding Guan Ning.

Guan Ning patted her back to comfort her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"After you go down, remember to hold your breath, don't speak, don't struggle, don't panic, I can get you out!"

Looking at his determined eyes, Yuan Xiang's nervousness gradually subsided.

"I'll go down and explore the way first. I'll ask you to jump down later, and you jump. Got it?"

"Okay!" Yuan Xiang nodded.

Guan Ning took a deep breath and jumped into the underground river with a bang, splashing a lot of water.

cold!

Bitingly cold!

This was his first feeling, and he almost lost feeling in his limbs. Fortunately, the water in the underground river was very clear. There had been no rain in recent days, and it was not polluted by sewage. He could vaguely see the situation below.

He continued to dive until he reached ten meters, feeling his way forward along the steep and uneven rock wall.

But his trace had long disappeared from the water.

"Guan Ning!"

"Guan Ning!"

Yuan Xiang tried calling out a few times, but there was no response. She stood there alone, feeling cold and nervous.

A full quarter of an hour later, poof!

Guan Ning stuck his head out, soaked all over, and breathing wildly.

"Guan Ning!" Yuan Xiang was excited.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. I've checked it out. This underground river is very wide, and there are many small spaces along the way where we can breathe. Unless we are extremely unlucky, we can all get out."

Yuan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief: "Really?"

"Of course!"

"Come down quickly, take a deep breath, remember don't be nervous, and don't talk!" Guan Ning stretched out his hands and gave an affirmative look.

"Yeah!" Yuan Xiang's voice was a little nervous. Looking at the turbulent and bottomless dark river, she felt a kind of tension that was difficult to calm down. She made sufficient mental preparations, then took a deep breath and jumped!

boom!

She jumped into the underground river smoothly, but as soon as she entered the water, a big problem occurred.
