After Murong Ci heard this, she was shocked and furious with him, and her teeth tickled with hatred:

'This man is too bad and evil!

How can he play tricks on me like this?

Since last night, he has been playing with me, otherwise why did we need to spend the night in the countryside?'

'All the sincere and touching words that he's said just now, they must have all been sweet words made up just to lie to me and play with me!

He has been doing a show!'

Murong Yu's lips twitched with a hint of joy.

Seeing him surrounded by a beautiful scenery, with his humming and handsome appearance, she felt that he must have been in a good mood.

Seeing that His Highness seemed to be very angry, Qin Ruo ran over eagerly and excitedly,

"Your Royal Highness, are you okay?"

Murong Ci shook her head and whispered:

"Let's go back first and talk about it later."

Because there was only one horse, Murong Ci and Qin Ruo rode together and ran towards the Capital.

As they pass through the City Gate, Murong Yu looked at His Royal Highness' figure fade away in the distance, and his thin lips curled up in an elegant and perfect arc.

....

In the next few days, Murong Ci's subordinates secretly monitored the movements in the Military Supervisor Facility and the secret tunnel exit, but there were no movements whatsoever.

Wan Fang and Wang Tao were really cunning old foxes!

Knowing that they might have been found out about their private weapons sales, they have stayed still these few days.

She waited patiently every day but received no good news from Rong Zhan.

A few days ago, Rong Zhan went out of the City to do business and didn't return to the City until midnight.

Only then did he know that the owner had left a message for him.

When he hurried to the Military Supervisor Facility, it had recovered its calm.

He hid in the dark and watched for a while before sneaking in.

After hearing a few guards talk about thieves, he knew that the owner had left safely.

In the past few days, he sent his subordinates of the Greatest Manor to stare at the movements of the Military Supervisor Facility day and night, hoping to find out who colluded with the illegal weapons sales as soon as possible.

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Qin Ruo flipped through the account book and thought:

"I believe that the Military Supervisor Facility will destroy the other account books."

"It's okay if they do.

To catch a big fish you need a small one first."

Murong Ci's eyes lit up and she raised her eyebrows and sneered slyly.

Ruyi smiled and asked,

"Your Royal Highness has thought of a good way?"

Murong Ci smiled secretly,

"Qin Ruo, send a message to Rong Zhan."

Qin Ruo responded briskly and immediately took the order.

The next day, Murong Ci and Qin Ruo came to the Shuyu Pavilion, the bamboo building in the northwest.

The scenery was dense and full of greenery, a little bit cold and quiet.

Qin Ruo pushed open the bamboo door of the elegant room on the second floor, and a middle-aged man inside stood up suddenly.

As soon as he saw who the person coming in was, his eyes were full of fear, and he was extremely shocked.

After a moment of horror, he woke up from his panic, and tremblingly bowed and bowed in salute,

"This humble official pays respect to Your Royal Highness."

Qin Ruo poured two cups of tea, while Murong Ci sat down leisurely, and smiled:

"Sit down, Lord Xu."

"This...subordinate doesn't dare to."

The bamboo building was shady and cool, shutting off the heat outside, but at this moment Lord Xu was in a cold sweat, and as if there was a spark in his mind, he didn't know how to deal with it.

'How could it be His Royal Highness who wanted to see me?'

◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇

Early that morning, Lord Xu was about to leave for the Military Supervisor Facility as usual.

A boy about ten years old suddenly appeared and came to send him a letter.

The letter simply wrote two lines—

"Someone wants to see you.

If you don't come, your crimes will be made public."

He hesitated for a few minutes before he decided to send a message to the Military Supervisor Facility that reported he wouldn't go to work that day, and instead decided to go and meet with this mysterious man.

''Unexpectedly, it was His Royal Highness!'
