Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Insects still chirp in the late autumn nights. Mizhou is located in the south, so it is not too cold.

For this activity, Shen Li specially put night vision goggles on herself and Xiao Chenze, and gave him grenades and smoke bombs. Xiao Chenze took them in his hands curiously, looked at them over and over again, and listened to Shen Li explain how to use them.

"Where did you get all this stuff? Do you have more? Is it enough to raise an army? If we have this on the battlefield, what does it matter if the iron ore is stolen? We can just use this to wipe them all out and make their efforts go to waste."

Shen Li shook her head and said to him seriously, "I don't have much here, so you should use it sparingly."

"Oh." Xiao Chenze was disappointed.

He had been to the battlefield, fighting with the enemy with his life at stake. He had witnessed many times that brothers who were chatting and laughing the moment before were hacked to death by the enemy in the blink of an eye. The heartache he felt was so deep that he dared not recall it.

"Well... can you make these things? Or, at least know how to make them. After we return to Beijing, how about we go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works and gather everyone to study them together?"

Xiao Chenze asked again while looking at the weapon in his hand with reluctance.

Seeing that he was so persistent, Shen Li thought of his uncle and cousin, nodded and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after we get back."

......

Xiao Chenze looked at the watch Shen Li gave him. He had already learned how to read the hands on the watch.

It is now three quarters past midnight. The night is very quiet. There is not even a breeze and the leaves on the trees are motionless.

The guards patrolled over and over again. Shen Li had already warned the dogs in the yard not to bark. There was no sound in the yard except for the sound of insects chirping.

Suddenly, there was a sound of slow and steady footsteps coming from a distance. The footsteps were very steady and not at all hurried.

It was Xiao Chenze's first time using night vision goggles and he was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that in the dark night, he could see everything clearly, including the person walking from a distance.

It was Wu Yongguang, the prefect of Mizhou.

He must have often come to the study in the middle of the night. Nothing had happened in all these years, so he looked very relaxed. He was followed by two guards, one of whom was holding a monkey.

When he reached the door of the study, he stopped and said to the two people behind him, "Watch carefully."

The two of them hurriedly said, "Yes."

The guard handed the monkey's rope to Wu Yongguang.

Xiao Chenze didn't dare to breathe. He was looking down through the hole in the tile that had been opened earlier. He felt a gust of wind blowing by his side, and he was brought into the space by Shen Li.

"You? What is this?"

Shen Li walked in front and motioned him to follow behind her. "No matter how careful you are outside, you might make a noise. Why not come here and watch?"

After saying that, he stepped over the railing and came to the clouds.

Xiao Chenze slapped his forehead. Yes, since this "cage" can go anywhere, why didn't he think that it could also enter the study?

Sure enough, everything in the study was clearly visible through the fog.

Wu Yongguang untied the monkey's rope, walked to a painting, and first looked carefully at the edge of the painting.

"He must be observing whether the marks he made have been touched by anyone." Xiao Chenze said to Shen Li.

After looking at it, Wu Yongguang took the painting away. Behind the painting was a white wall, and it looked normal.

But he turned around, made a gesture to the monkey, and pointed to the top of the wall.

Shen Li and Xiao Chenze stared outside intently, not daring to breathe.

The monkey suddenly jumped up and jumped onto the bookcase on the right.

Shen Li hurriedly urged her mind, and the space instantly rose. The two of them could clearly see from the space that there was a round piece of wood on the top of the bookcase, which looked like a deliberate decoration.

The monkey reached out to twist the piece of wood, and the wood was indeed alive, one circle, two circles, three circles.

Hulala.

The white wall moved back instantly.

Then the monkey jumped onto the bookcase on the left and turned the round wooden block on it.

As the three circles are completed, the white wall moves to the left, like a sliding door, and a large space appears in front of you.

Shen Li was stunned.

Xiao Chenze's voice hushed in his ears. "I just observed from the rooftop. The study looked different from the outside. I guessed there was a secret room, and sure enough, it was. I didn't expect the way he opened it was so special. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have been able to open it."

Wu Yongguang instructed the monkey, "Go, get the candles."

The monkey rushed into the secret room and came out after a while with a candle with a base in its hand.

It has to be said that the monkey was very clever. Without Wu Yongguang saying anything, it walked to the lit candle and lit the candle in its hand.

Then he rushed into the secret room and put the candle away.

The candlelight flickered. Wu Yongguang waited for the monkey to come out, tied it up again, and tied it to the table leg. Then he straightened his clothes and walked into the secret room.

Shen Li's space also followed in.
