'Twenty years of dedication in the Military Service and on the Battle Field,

five years of dedication to the Government and Court Affairs, for the safety and stability of the Country,

in the blink of an eye, all your wise choices, passion and ambitions, could be buried in this dust.'

'What dominance,

what everlasting fame,

what prestige of your name left in history,

what future generations admiration?

— All could turn into a piece of loess.'

'No matter how proud and domineering your character is, one can't match the ruthless destruction of God's will.

No matter your conspiracies and tricks, you are no match to fate.

It's just sad and ridiculous.'

Murong Yu thought about this, turning his head to look at her.

The red light and shadow flickered on her snow-white face, and she was beside him, within reach.

'If he were to die at this moment, what would he do shortly before dying?

Maybe he would take her in his arms, say those things in his heart that he didn't have the time to say, and then would hold her to death to the other world, ...together.'

This was the only thing he could think of.

Although there were many regrets and unwillingnesses, but fortunately, there was His Royal Highness by his side to accompany him.

In life or death, they would still be together.

This idea was very strange, but very clear and strong in his heart.

He involuntarily seek for His Royal Highness's hand, but Murong Ci had already sensed his intention and avoided it.

She glared at him, and suddenly remembered what he had said in the day:

'I haven't figured out what to do.'

Like her, he also planned to visit the Military Supervisor Facility tonight, but he chose not to say it.

Because once she had known his plan, she wouldn't have come tonight!

She was a little annoyed, because she understood that he had predicted her intentions—...

He actually knew that she would come to visit the Military Supervisor Facility tonight.

"Your Royal Highness, did you find anything in the Account Room to prove the illegal selling of weapons and committing crimes?"

Murong Yu suddenly asked.

"I didn't find anything."

She denied decisively.

"How about The Prince Regent?

You seemed interested in that "Far Mountain" painting today."

"That painting is a bit weird, maybe it hides many hidden secrets."

"If you can't find any evidence, you can't convict the criminals."

"If Master Wan fang and the others are selling weapons privately, this tunnel is worthy of further investigation."

"All the weapons officially sold out will definitely be checked and it'd be too eye-catching to move them through the official roads.

If they were shipped out from this tunnel, then no one would discover it."

Murong Yu nodded,

"That's true. Presumably the place this tunnel leads to is an uninhabited countryside."As he said, he suddenly stopped and looked ahead.

Murong Ci frowned slightly.

In front of them was a bifurcation of two tunnels stretched under their feet.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, coldly panting,

"If you choose the wrong one, it may be dangerous."

She speculated,

"Could it be that they deliberately dig another tunnel to mislead people?"

He looked around carefully, not missing an inch,

"The two tunnels are exactly the same, and there is no difference between them."

She stared coldly,

"If one of them is a dead end, then no one would usually go to the dead end.

Look at this one.

The soil on the ground is not so strong, while that one is moved, because people are often walking around on it.

Also the boxes full of weapons are heavy and leave traces on the ground."

Murong Yu walked to the tunnel where no one usually walked, and Murong Ci asked in surprise,

"Prince Regent, what are you doing?"

"This King is going to fall into hell."

He strode forward without looking back.

She hesitated for a moment, but in the end she had to follow up, and asked angrily:

"Is the Prince Regent looking for death?"

His mellow voice was full of lofty sentiment,

"This King wants to see if there is a scourge in this dead end."

She really felt that her brain had broken and she had gone crazy for following him, but she also knew she would be laughed to death by him if she had turned back, for being timid and afraid of death.
