"How is it possible, the prince's brother...... How could it be ......"

"That's why Shangqing Palace is so ...... Shabby! ”

"You talk nonsense! All this, you must be shirking! You want to put all the sins on the head of the prince's brother! ”

"I know you won't believe it! You come with me! ”

With that, Xia Ning took me and walked into his room.

This was originally the residence of the prince's elder brother during his lifetime, and there were not many furnishings in the house, only a few paintings and a few vases. The prince's brother has always lived a very simple life during his lifetime, and he is not an extravagant and wasteful person, how can it be as he said...... Privately buy the iron ore of Xia Kingdom?!

Xia Ning led me around a corner, and he took down the painting that hung on the wall, which had a circular button embedded in it.

I was stunned to stay in place, the prince's brother had never told me about it, and there was a mechanism here!

Xia Ning pressed the button, only to see that the stone door next to him suddenly opened.

I stepped back, unable to believe my eyes.

Xia Ning said: "Heh! There's so much more in there that you can't believe! ”

He took me by the hand and walked in.

I walked behind him, and from time to time I looked around, and it was a long and narrow passageway, made of blue bricks and stones, and the house made of stone was protected from moisture, water, fire, and heat.

Xia Ning walked a few steps, then lit the oil lamp on the wall, and we walked around for a while in the dim light before we came to a door.

Xia Ning pushed the door open, and a little dust fell. I covered my nose and mouth and followed Xia Ning inside.

He lit the oil lamps in the secret room one by one, and the surroundings gradually lit up, and I was ...... by the scene in front of me. Shocked!

Smooth and shiny weapons glowed white in the dim light!

"This ...... How could it be...... "I was like I had a stutter, and I couldn't speak!"

"Shocked! When I first came here, I had the same reaction as you! But that's just a drop in the bucket! ”

"What?"

Xia Ning pointed to the innermost corner of the wall and said, "See, there's still a door there!" This secret room leads to the outside of the palace! ”

My eyes widened in surprise, "Outside the palace? ”

"That's right! Hua Muning built this secret room excellently! This leads to the outside of the palace! But you can only go out, not in! ”

"What do you mean?"

He pointed to the innermost corner of the wall and said, "After going out of that door, there is a secret passage, and there are ten more doors in the secret passage, and with each door, these doors will be closed, and there will be no return. Therefore, this is a one-way secret passage, which can only be exited, not entered! ”

I opened my mouth in surprise, I have never heard the prince brother mention these things!

Xia Ning said again: "I tried to go out once, and after I got out, I came to a basement, where there are many more weapons piled up than here!" Out of the basement, it is the suburbs, that is to say, Hua Mulian built a basement in the suburbs to stack weapons, and the basement is connected to his Shangqing Palace, but he can't enter his Shangqing Palace! At the beginning, Feng Shu and I walked in the suburbs for three whole days before coming back, and we came back in the dark at night! Can't let anyone find out we're out of the palace......"

I still can't believe what Xia Ning said, "I've never heard Brother Prince talk about it before!" Moreover, this is not like the style of the prince's brother! Maybe it was built after you came! Didn't you stop us from going near your place at first, on the grounds that you like purity? ”

After hearing this, Xia Ning laughed, shook his head, and said, "Where can such a secret room be built in a few months!" It will take at least a few years to build such a secret room! Moreover, I didn't let you come near my place because I was afraid of revealing my flaws! ”

"How many years?"

It doesn't look like this secret room was built in recent years, so when my father was there, did I have this secret room? Does Father know about this?

I looked at these weapons that were as bright as new and asked, "After all this time, why are these weapons like new!" ”

Xia Ning said: "The weapons forged from the iron ore of our Xia Kingdom, no matter how many years they are stored, will be the same as new!" This is also why, Hua Mu Ning and Liu Tianquan will buy the iron ore of Xia Kingdom privately! ”

"However, why did the prince's brother buy iron ore to privately cast weapons? This is the sin of the Nine Clans! ”

"I don't know about that! However, Hua Muning did buy Xia Guo's iron ore, and moreover, he bought it from Xia Cen at three times the market price! ”

"What? Your aunt's son? Your brother? ”

"That's right! A few years ago, Liu Qianquan wanted to buy iron ore privately from Xia Cen, but Xia Cen asked for three times the market price, Liu Tingquan thought that the price was too high, and the price he could afford was twice the market price, Xia Cen did not give him room for negotiation, so he decisively refused. So Liu Qianquan found me, and at that time, I needed money to establish some relations between the DPRK and China, so I agreed. I don't know how Hua Muning knew that Liu Tianquan was buying Xia Guo's iron ore privately, he found Xia Cen and was willing to buy iron ore from him privately at three times the market price. So over the years, I have been supplying iron ore to Liu Tilting, and Xia Cen has also been supplying iron ore to Huamuning! ”

"Until one day, Hua Muning sent me a letter, in which he said, let me save someone, on the condition that he give me the evidence of his collusion with Xia Cen to buy and sell iron ore in the past few years. At first, I suspected fraud, so I refused. But he also wrote that An Ruxi's military book was in his hands, and if I succeeded in rescuing people, I could get the military certificate. ”

"What happened to General An, I have also heard about it in our Xia Kingdom, I don't think Hua Muning will give me a letter of war, so I came to Huaqiao Country with Feng Shu. In the suburbs, the suburbs where this secret room is connected, I met with Hua Muning. ”

"That was the first time I saw the crown prince of your Huaqiao Kingdom, and it really scared me! I used to hear that the crown prince of Huaqiao Kingdom had a strange disease that could not be cured, but I didn't expect that his face was pale, and he didn't have a trace of blood, and he was weak even when he spoke! ”

At the time, he said he didn't have much left. He said that you were caught in the palace by Hua Mulian, and asked me to rescue you. I asked him why he wanted to save you, and he didn't say much, he just said, you are his sister, you must be rescued, on the condition that he will give me evidence that he bought and sold iron ore with Xia Cen, as well as General An's military letter! ”

"I didn't think much about it and said yes! Because, I need the evidence in his hand, and I want to use this evidence to make Xia Cen have no chance to turn over! ”

I shook my head incredulously, unable to believe what he was saying.

How could the prince's brother ......?

Why did the prince's brother privately forge so many weapons, and what did he use them for?
