Prince Rui has money to support his private army, and the Imperial Noble Consort has silver to pay off the Zhou family's debts, so she has to go and pay them a visit.

The Zhenyuan Prince's Mansion and the Rui Prince's Mansion were both located in the eastern part of the imperial city, about three miles apart. She avoided the night patrols and took a shortcut to the Rui Prince's Mansion.

Knowing that Li Feng had discovered her when she came out, she cautiously approached.

Although there is no high-tech security equipment here, the people here are more physically strong and have more acute senses, so she dared not be careless.

After confirming that no one was around, he took out a projectile gun, aimed it at a large tree inside the wall, and pulled the trigger.

The grappling hook, trailing a long rope, shot out and struck the tree trunk squarely.

She put away the musket, grabbed the rope, and nimbly flipped into Prince Rui's mansion like a cat.

The Prince Rui's mansion was heavily guarded, comparable to the imperial palace. Even from the trees, one could see squads of patrolling guards carrying torches, like fiery dragons weaving through every corner of the mansion.

The original owner had been to Prince Rui's mansion before and was quite familiar with it. He planned to go to Nangong Xun's study first, hoping to find something useful there.

As I approached the study, I was surprised to see Nangong Xun walking out of it.

"Guard this place well. No one except me is allowed to approach the study," Nangong Xun instructed the two men standing by the gatehouse.

The two guards bowed and replied, "Yes!"

Nangong Xun seemed very busy, walking hurriedly, with several guards following closely behind.

"You're quite busy!"

As Nangong Wu watched the three figures walk away, she took out a pistol, attached a silencer, and pointed the muzzle at a large tree.

There are two hidden guards lurking around this study; we need to deal with them first.

The guard, who was sitting on the tree trunk with his eyes closed, seemed to sense something and suddenly opened his eyes, looking in her direction.

Suddenly, he felt an extremely strong sound of something cutting through the air and instinctively wanted to avoid it.

However, how could he possibly outrun a bullet?

"Thud~~" The bullet hit him right between the eyebrows.

Before the guard could even let out a scream, he collapsed limply against the tree trunk, the sword he was holding falling from his arms.

The movement in the tree immediately caught the attention of another guard. He had just poked his head out from the roof ridge when a bloody hole appeared in his forehead, and he rolled down from the roof.

Nangong Wu then pulled the trigger repeatedly, "click-click-click" four times.

The four guards standing outside the study all collapsed, their eyes wide open.

Nangong Wu emerged from the shadows, threw the five corpses into her spatial dimension, and fired a shot that knocked off the lock on the study door before entering the study.

Every fifteen minutes, a squad of guards would patrol by, and she had to leave within fifteen minutes.

Take out a mini flashlight, first scan the layout of the study, and walk towards the desk in the center.

There were many folded papers and letters piled on the desk. She quickly checked them and found nothing that was useful.

According to the customs of the people here, especially those in positions of power and the wealthy, there are usually hidden rooms and secret compartments in their studies, where important things are kept.

She walked up to the bookshelves, touching every book and every item, trying to see if she could trigger any mechanism.

Ten minutes passed quickly, but she found nothing.

Nangong Wu was somewhat disappointed.

The flashlight beam suddenly shone on a painting on the wall.

A thought suddenly occurred to her: perhaps there are hidden compartments and mechanisms behind the painting.

Thinking of this, Nangong Wu went to check the back of the painting.

Unfortunately, the wall was flat and there was nothing on it.

There were four paintings in total, and I checked them all. Fortunately, I found a problem behind the last painting: there was a loose brick.

"There really is a hidden compartment!" She removed the brick, thinking it contained a hidden compartment.

"Click, click..."

A slight sound came from the study.

Nangong Wu looked up and saw a bookshelf against the wall slowly moving away automatically.

Soon, a hidden door about five feet high appeared behind the bookshelf.

She was overjoyed; it must be Nangong Xun's treasure vault.

To prevent any hidden weapons from being used, she raised her gun and fired a magazine full of bullets into the secret passage.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..." came the sound of something cutting through the air.

Nangong Wu was prepared and quickly moved to the side of the wall.

Countless arrows shot out from the hidden opening.

After the arrows stopped, Nangong Wu took out a large shield and held it in front of her to prevent any more arrows from being shot out before walking into the hidden passage.

Shining the flashlight, they saw steps leading down to a dark underground room.

They carefully descended twenty steps and found a dark room of about thirty square meters, filled with many boxes and two multi-compartment cabinets, each containing various rare and precious treasures.

Time was of the essence, and she didn't have time to check what was in the box. Standing on the last step, she raised her hand and used her mind to store all the items in the dark room into her spatial storage, including the two multi-compartment cabinets.

If Nangong Xun would treasure it so much, it must be something good.

Just as they finished collecting the items, they triggered a mechanism, and a barrage of hidden arrows shot out from all four walls.

Fortunately, she didn't go into the middle of the dark room, otherwise she would have been attacked from all sides by these hidden arrows.

She quickly left the dark room and saw a flickering light outside the window; the patrol team was approaching.

He ignored the secret passage and left the study.

As he reached the door, he suddenly turned back, took out a time bomb, and set the timer for five minutes later.

After thinking it over, fearing that Nangong Xun wouldn't be able to get there within five minutes, I changed the time to eight minutes, then placed it under Nangong Xun's desk, and then threw out the five corpses from the space.

As she left the study, she didn't forget to use her grappling hook to remove the corpse from the tree and take the bullet away.

Just as he finished doing all that, the patrolling guards arrived outside the study.

Where are the people here?

"not good……"

Nangong Wu sneered inwardly, turned and disappeared into the night, but she did not leave the palace, instead continuing to look for the main storeroom.

With a loud "bang!", a signal flare exploded in the sky.

Nangong Wu looked up and thought, "Good thing I found out. Perfect opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

Seeing countless torches rushing towards the study, and the hidden guards also appearing from the shadows.

Nangong Wu found the main storeroom and discovered that there were still about twenty guards stationed there.

This time she didn't use a gun; instead, she took out several poison smoke grenades.

That was a super-strength version of poison gas she had developed herself. It worked quickly; once inhaled, it immediately rendered the victim defenseless, leaving them either dead or severely wounded.

She pulled the safety pin and threw several smoke grenades at the group at the same time, instantly creating a thick cloud of smoke.

"Oh no! There's poisonous smoke..." The man collapsed before he could finish his sentence.

The others also fell one by one.

Nangong Wu put on a gas mask and fired several shots, breaking the lock on the warehouse door.

He pushed open the door, shone his flashlight inside, and saw the room was packed full of things. He muttered, "Pack..."

The items in the warehouse flew towards her one by one, and in less than a minute, only the four walls remained in the huge warehouse.

"Oh no! A thief is here! Come quick, catch the thief..."

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting.

Nangong Wu turned around and saw a large group of guards arriving. She discovered twenty guards lying on the ground, bleeding profusely.
