Chapter 202 Mu Jintang visits the 3rd Prince's Mansion at night
After the curfew, the capital seemed to have been muted. The streets were empty, with only the bright moon in the sky shining alone, casting mottled light and shadows.
There was a faint smell of dust in the air, occasionally mixed with the faint scent of flowers coming from afar.
The gentle breeze brought a slight chill, making people shiver involuntarily.
In the distance, there were a few dog barks, but they soon disappeared into the night.
The whole world seemed to be immersed in tranquility.
Mu Jintang was wearing a black suit and used his lightness skills to silently jump onto the wall and the roof.
He ran all the way, moving quickly but without making any sound.
They didn't stop until they came to a house covering a very large area.
He had already arranged everything, but he wanted to take advantage of today to visit the Third Prince's mansion at night.
He leaped high and landed lightly.
He walked through the corridor, bypassed layers of guards, and came to the window of the third prince's bedroom.
After carefully feeling the movements in the house and making sure that there was no one there, he carefully opened the window and slid into the room silently.
With the help of moonlight, he observed the furnishings in the room.
The interior is decorated in a magnificent manner, but it also exudes a sense of coldness.
He quickly glanced around and after making sure there were no traps, he began looking for the entrance switch to the secret building.
After a careful search, he finally found a very hidden mechanism.
No wonder other people couldn’t find the mechanism.
It turns out it is here.
There is a protrusion on each side of the footrest on the side of the bed. It is not very obvious and it is difficult for most people to notice it.
He didn't pay attention at first, but when he touched it accidentally, he heard a clicking sound similar to that of a mechanism in the bed.
He pressed the mechanism gently, and the bed board slowly opened a hole.
Mu Jintang looked inside and found a ladder that was only wide enough for one person to walk on.
He went down the ladder.
The interior of the dark building was dark and damp, and the air was filled with a nauseating smell. He frowned slightly, but fortunately he was masked, so he could barely accept it.
He took out the tinder he carried with him and lit it.
Along the way, he found several traps, which were all easily resolved by him.
Move forward carefully.
He held a short sword in his hand, just in case.
As he went deeper, his vision gradually broadened.
There is an iron door in the dim secret room.
He went forward to check. The door didn't look big, but it was very thick and heavy. It should have some weight. He felt that it would be impossible to break the door easily by relying on internal force.
It seems that the third prince attaches great importance to this place. He has set up mechanisms and built iron gates.
Then this must be the dark building that Lu Xinyu mentioned?
Mu Jintang looked around and found two lampposts next to the door.
He tried to turn the lamppost, and just as he expected, the lamppost turned and made a clicking sound.
The door slowly opened.
Mu Jintang looked inside.
Even though he thought he had great self-control, he couldn't help but be dazzled by the scene before him.
The dark building is brightly lit, and the interior is magnificent and majestic, as if it is a sleeping underground palace.
The road is wide, and the dragons carved on the stone pillars on both sides are lifelike.
When you enter, the first thing that catches your eye is a few ebony armchairs covered with cushions, with a coffee table next to them.
He looked closely and saw obvious marks on the armrests of the armchair. These marks showed a unique wear pattern, as if they were formed after a long period of friction.
It can be imagined that there was once a person who often sat on this chair, with his arms frequently touching the armrests, and over time, such a mark was left.
At the top, there is a rosewood table and a chair made of pure gold.
Mu Jintang recognized at a glance that they were imitations of the imperial table and dragon throne.
Behind the dragon throne hung a bright yellow robe with a lifelike dragon pattern on it, a five-clawed golden dragon.
There were several large wooden boxes neatly placed around.
Mu Jintang carefully opened the wooden boxes one by one, only to find that they were filled with all kinds of gold and silver utensils, jade and jewelry. Each piece was sparkling with dazzling light, dazzling the eyes.
However, looking at the mountain of treasure in front of him, Mu Jintang clenched his fists tightly, his heart filled with anger and unwillingness.
He couldn't help but recall the years when he and his father fought on the frontier. At that time, they were penniless, often hungry, and life was extremely hard.
However, these riches were used to satisfy selfish desires, completely disregarding the suffering of the people.
Mu Jintang suppressed his inner excitement. He knew that now was not the time to vent his emotions because there were more important things waiting for him to accomplish.
The life of the Third Prince had long been a thorn in Mu Jintang's heart. He secretly vowed that no matter how great the price, sooner or later he would make the Third Prince pay the price for his actions.
Mu Jintang closed the box.
I came to the imperial desk and looked at the documents on it.
Mu Jintang picked up the documents on the table and read them carefully.
His hands were shaking, but he still persisted in flipping through the pages.
He read plans involving bribery, assassination, and rebellion, and every word was like a knife stabbing his heart.
He felt a wave of dizziness coming over him, he rubbed his temples, and became alert.
He couldn't stay here long.
He took out the detoxification pill given by Tang Peipei and swallowed it, then put away all the documents on the table and hid them on his body.
Then, he was about to quietly leave the dark building.
At this moment, a faint sound came from the front.
Mu Jintang has a very sensitive hearing because of his internal strength.
At the moment when the person was about to appear, he flashed to the side of the iron gate, ready to take action.
The visitors were the gentleman from the Third Prince’s Mansion and another counselor, Dong Qing.
Mu Jintang held her breath.
When Mr. and Dong Qing arrived, they were surprised to see the iron gate, which was usually closed, open.
"Oh no, someone broke in." said the gentleman.
Dong Qing rushed in without saying a word. He had to see if those important things were still there.
The gentleman wanted to shout at him to stop, but it was too late.
As soon as Dong Qing came in, he was knocked to the ground by Mu Jintang's knife.
Seeing this, the gentleman ran away.
But who is Mu Jintang? He is General Wei De, who is feared by the enemy and has extraordinary military power.
How could I let a weak scholar run away in front of me?
Before the gentleman could run a few steps, he was subdued by Mu Jintang.
The gentleman wanted to say something, but Mu Jintang didn't want to listen at all. He simply took out the sleeping pills he carried with him and let him smell them. The gentleman fainted instantly.
Mu Jintang was in a bit of a dilemma at this moment.
There are two people here. How can he take them away without being discovered?
Mu Jintang looked at the person who was knocked unconscious by him, and then looked at the person who was knocked unconscious by him.
After thinking about it, I picked up the person who was knocked unconscious and left first.
Peipei said that the drug she used to knock the person unconscious would last at least two hours.
So, no need to rush.
Mu Jintang carried the person on his shoulders and was about to leave when some noises came from the front.
Mu Jintang was on high alert again.
Just as Mu Jintang was holding the dagger and preparing to attack, he saw a familiar face.
Unexpectedly, Yang Tingzhen was worried and followed secretly, and just happened to meet the two counselors from the Third Prince's Mansion.
They don't know martial arts, so as long as you intentionally hide your aura, it will be difficult for them to detect you.
Knowing where the mechanism was, Yang Tingzhen came down by himself.
Mu Jintang was him. He put away his dagger and said to Yang Tingzhen, "You've come just in time. One for each of us. Let's go."
Yang Tingzhen······
Well, he is just here to do the hard work.
He resigned himself to his fate, picked up the person on the ground, and followed Mu Jintang out of the Third Prince's Mansion.
Normally, the guards at the Third Prince's Mansion were very strict, but today, it was unusually easy to get what they wanted. This made Mu Jintang wonder if he had been a little lax with his subordinates recently. Should he go back and practice more?
At this time, the secret guards of the general's mansion did not know what would be waiting for them next?
