C74 Part2

....

The countryside at night was silent, and occasionally the roar of wild animals and the cry of birds were heard.

The vast night sky was like the most beautiful dark-blue velvet, with thousands of brilliances shed by the clear moon.

The moonlight tulle cast its light on the as silent as death Military Supervisor Facility.

The Front Gate was heavy close and it was impossible to enter from there.

However there was a small Gate in the North-west, that had been abandoned many years ago.

Although it was locked with large iron ropes all the year round, the Palace walls there were relatively short and with the use of Martial Arts light-jump inner force, it was not difficult to jump in.

In the dead silent night, they arrived at the North-west Gate.

Qin Ruo flew up first and landed on the wall.

She leaned down and looked around like a radar, to make sure no guards were around, and then she waved down and signaled to His Highness to come up.

Murong Ci flew up with a bit of anger in her heart, following Qin Ruo over the wall and then flew down.

At this time, there were no guards guarding here, and they immediately rushed into the darkness like sneaky cats.

Nowadays, the Countries were mainly based on friendly relations and they wouldn't easily talk about war, so the workshop stopped at night.

If it were wartime or the border were in a turbulent age, the Military Supervisor Facility's workshop would be active day and night.

Although Master Wan Fang was supposed to be on duty that night, the guards at the Military Supervisor Facility were silent.

They sneaked into the Hall behind the Main Hall and went straight to the Account Room.

The Military Supervisor Facility was heavily guarded outside, but inside it was slack, and coming and going could be done freely.

Murong Ci's heart was irritated, and she had mixed feelings:

'The people in the Military Supervisor Facility are so negligent, and they didn't pay much attention to defense!

If a Foreign Country had sent someone to sneak in, wouldn't they easily steal the important secrets of the Military Supervisor Facility?'

The Account Room was locked from the outside and could only be accessed from the window sill.

Fortunately, the sashes were not closed tightly, and they easily got in.

Murong Ci had yet again mixed feelings in her heart.

She didn't know whether she should be happy, angry, or sad?

Using a light would be too eye-catching, and Murong Ci told Qin Ruo to leave it, and then went straight to the "Far Mountain" painting.

When Murong Yu saw this painting in the day, it was not because he liked painting and calligraphy, but because it was weird.

At that time, she only glanced at it twice, and found the painting a bit weird, but she couldn't tell what the strangeness was.

She looked at it for a moment in the darkness, and pulled this huge painting open and as expected, there was something hidden inside!

This painting concealed a small door with a golden lock on it.

She took out a thin wire and pierced it into the lock cylinder with a very skillful technique.

Not long after, the golden lock was opened.

She opened the small door and found a cavity in it.

There were a lot of things inside:

a few account books, military equipments lists, even some secrets of the Military Equipment of the Northern Yan Kingdom - secret recipes of artillery, the pattern of rockets, and the peerless production patterns, etc.

She immediately opened the account book and took out a small light from the skirt of her robes.

When she took a look at the pages, her heart sank and cooled down immediately, making her anger flying up:

'This is the real account book of the Military Supervisor Facility!'

However, Murong Ci couldn't take this account book away.

Once it was taken away, Master Wan Fang and the others would find out and be startled immediately.

However, if she hadn't taken it away, there wouldn't be the evidence.

In the end, she took a copy of it with her.

Murong Ci and her servant Qin Ruo left the Account Room and went to the workshop next.

Qin Ruo stood at the entrance on guard, and Murong Ci sneaked into the workshop alone.

At this time, the workshop was dark with shadows, silent and eerie.

She had determined that there would be no guards inside, and stepped forward without hesitation.

Using a bright small light she smoothly found the door Murong Yu had previously asked about that same day, and took out the thin wire to unlock it:

She had concluded that opening this door would have revealed surprising findings!

The moment she opened it, she froze for a moment:

It was an empty room!

The room wasn't too big, containing only a wicker chair, and nothing else.

However, this abandoned room seemed to be free of dust.
