C76 Part1

....

Murong Ci was nervous and couldn't be sure whether he had touched her throat.

If he learned that she was a woman, the consequences would be disastrous—...

He would expose the Royal scandal of her disguised as a man in a Court proceeding, abolish her title of Crown Prince, and turn her into a Princess.

At that point, it wouldn't take long for the Northern Yan Kingdom to fall into his palm, changing the Country and changing the Dynasty...

The more she thought about it, the more she was shocked at the idea, as if falling into an ice cellar, her hands and feet became cold.

'What should I do?

However, why did he desperately save me and protect me just now?'

She couldn't see through the man whose mind was deeply hidden.

Murong Yu's thin lips slanted, and he joked,

"Are you thinking about how to kill this King?"

"Why did you protect me just now?"

"Want to know?"

He curled his lips wickedly,

"If you give me a kiss, I'll tell you."

Murong Ci glared at him angrily, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

He laughed slightly, and the laughter echoed in the tunnel.

"Then, do you want to know why this King concluded that the workshop door was weird?"

"I don't want to know."

In fact, when she had seen the door, she had also become suspicious, but she didn't ask, because she didn't want to "startle the snake".

'Just imagine, how could such a door be in the middle of the huge workshop?

Isn't it even stranger to lock it with an iron lock?'

Murong Yu said coldly:

"It's possible that the private selling of Military Weapons hadn't happened just recently, and on the opposite, maybe it's been a while since they started."

Murong Ci frowned and wondered:

"Who did they sell the weapons to?

Will it be the Eastern Chu, the Southern Yue or the Western Qin?"

'If they were really sold to a Foreign Country, the consequences will be serious.'

"You must find the buyer of weapons and get the stolen goods in order to capture and punish both the buyer and the seller."

His black eyes overflowed with chills.

"At this point, since we have already stunned the snake, they shouldn't dare to blatantly transport the Military Weapons at this time."

"Your Royal Highness stole an account book, right?"

With that said, Murong Yu pulled out the account book from her robe, and she stared angrily at him before she could even answer or stop him.

'How did he know?!'

He opened the account book and glanced at the lines, rubbing her soft cheek with his thumb,

"Your body is soft overall, but there was a place that was a little harder, so I thought it must be a book."

Murong Ci was embarrassed when she heard these words, and wanted to stab him with a knife, but she focused on the account book.

"This account book clearly records in details every transaction in the private sale of Military Weapons."

He deepened his eyes, and a deep anger filled his eyes.

"It's so blatant and sinful, that it's not an exaggeration to say such sins deserve the ※death penalty of the five horses!"

※※(N.B.) In Ancient China's law, extremely sinful behaviors, such as murder, betrayal of the Country or corruption, were punished with the death penalty of the "five horses", which consisted on tying the head and four limbs(arms and legs) of the culprit with a rope and having the five horses pull at the same time diving them in five.

※※

"Isn't it? There might be several more sins."

She looked at him, and his angry appearance didn't seem to be a disguise.

'Did he not participate in the private selling of Military Weapons done by the Military Supervisor Facility?'

Murong Yu's eyes were as cold as a sword's blade,

"Perhaps Wan Fang and the others are not only selling weapons, but doing even worse."

Murong Ci was stunned,

'What did he mean by that?'

He said coldly:

"The secret recipe of artillery, the pattern of rockets, the pattern of peerless soldiers division, Wan Fang is very likely to betray the top military secrets of our Northern Yan Kingdom."

She was shocked suddenly, gnashing her teeth and said:

"Wan Fang is really damned!"

If this matter was to be thoroughly investigated, it would have taken time, and it would probably not go smoothly...
