C91 Part1

....

Murong Ci guessed that if one of the Jade carving was a mechanism gear that worked as a key to open a secret path, then she would have definitely found something as soon as she had moved them.

But the fact was that there seemed to be nothing unusual about these Jade carvings.

Then it meant that they were not a mechanism, and the real mechanism should be the closest treasure to the Jade carving.

Among the treasures around the Jade carving, only the white Jade brush met this condition.

It was all thanks to her decisive action, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to discover this mysterious mechanism.

The moment she saw the wall open, she rushed in first.

Meanwhile Murong Yu, who was at the gambling table, had been paying attention to her movement.

When he saw her flashing into the secret room, he quickly moved away from the gambling table with a light jump and rushed away.

The expressions of the two young men in servants clothes changed drastically, and they quickly disappeared in a flash like a shock.

The whole situation was very strange.

When they rushed to the secret room, the door of the secret room was already closed.

They immediately went to report to the Master.

Although a few guests at the gambling table noticed that a secret room suddenly appeared there, they were too busy enjoying the gambling and in an enthusiastic moment, so there was no time to pay attention to things beside them.

Murong Yu and Murong Ci, who seemed to have entered another world, turned their eyes around to inspect the place.

This secret room was about the same size as the two outside, with dim light and a faint smell in the air.

They glanced at each other, and their four pupils were shining in the darkness——

'The smell is very similar to that of Opium Poppy.'

Two long tables were lined up in front of the stone wall over there, and black wooden boxes were neatly placed on the tables.

The wooden boxes were rectangular, moderate in size, and made of ordinary wood.

They each picked up a wooden box and opened it at the same time.

As expected, it was Opium Poppy!

"The mystery has been revealed!

The Linglong Pavilion is really selling Opium Poppy secretly."

Murong Yu's deep eyes lingered in the dark shadows.

"Officials and wealthy people in the Capital came here to gamble and have fun, and the people of the Linglong Pavilion took the opportunity to sell them Opium Poppy.

As long as you smoke it once, you will become addicted."

Murong Ci's voice was cold and resentful,

"The people who went to kill Master Li should have also been from the Linglong Pavilion."

"I'm afraid it will be hard for us to leave here tonight."

In the enclosed space, his voice was as cold as the blue water of a lake.

She naturally knew that if they forcibly broke into this secret room, the young man in golden clothes would definitely not leave them alive.

He held her little hand and stared at the strange and plain face in front of him, of the fake skin mask she was wearing,

"Are you afraid?"

She also looked at him, with her beautiful eyes lingering with determination,

"What do you think?"

'If we die tonight, we'll die together.

As long as he is dead, I have nothing to worry about.'

Murong Yu touched her smooth forehead, with his fingertips which were slightly cool, and his deep eyes were entwined with complex emotions.

Murong Ci wanted to push his hand away, but she couldn't lift her hand unexpectedly.

Suddenly, there was a sound above their head!

Murong Yu dragged her quickly to the side and retreated to a safe spot.

The two steel plates above their head opened, and a few men in black quickly landed, and in a flash, the steel plates closed again.
