That should be the gleam from the arrowhead.
And at this moment, thick smoke rose from outside, occasionally accompanied by sparks.
"Oh heavens, is there a fire outside?" Princess Consort Zhuang exclaimed in shock, "Is he planning to burn us to death?"
"I'm not sure! This smoke may have originated from elsewhere." After a pause, "Whether we can get out alive will depend on the men outside."
They shouldn't attempt to flee, as they are surrounded by archers. If they try to climb the walls or break through the gates, the arrows will rain down on them.
"Should we just wait here?"
"Let's wait for now. If we can't wait anymore, we'll find a way to get out."
A quick glance reveals four to five archers on each rooftop, with others hidden in trees around the courtyard walls. Most likely, there are also soldiers guarding the area.
If it were just her and Ye San, breaking through might not be a problem, but now it's unlikely.
