Lu Fei didn't expect that Pei Qian looked gentle and elegant on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be such a stubborn person in his bones.

They originally tried to say something more, but seeing Pei Qian's expression that no one wanted to pay attention to, they had to shut their mouths stupidly.

Since this second prince was so adventurous, there was nothing they could stop it. If something happened in the secret passage, they wouldn't be to blame.

When the time comes, the emperor will blame it, this is also the second prince's own choice, and it can't be relied on them.

Thinking of this, a few generals are not entangled, the decision of the second prince, they are subordinates, they are not qualified to refute it, right?

Pei Qian has always been a man who does what he says, he asked Lu Fei to call a few elite soldiers with good martial arts skills to follow him, after confirming that the secret passage can be passed, Pei Qian took a long sword and stepped in the direction of the cave entrance.

He didn't believe that the secret passage had already been discovered, and he Pei Qian would not be able to find those grains and grasses! Wait and see, when he finds the grain and grass, he will make those people's eyes widen, which is the consequence of despising him in the first place. At the same time, he will also impress his father.

While thinking, Pei Qian began to slowly move in the secret passage, and he also held a lamp in his hand to illuminate the direction of the secret passage.

Lu Fei and General Meng, who were behind him, also followed closely behind Pei Qian.

Originally, Lu Fei also proposed to Pei Qian that if something happened to him, he or General Meng would be able to take care of him, at least he would not get the second prince injured.

But Pei Qian didn't pay attention to it, he just wanted to find out the grain and grass, and he didn't care about this matter at all. What's more, he doesn't think that his martial arts are very weak, compared to these generals, maybe he doesn't have rich experience in fighting in the frontier, but he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, maybe not as good as Pei Xiu before, but there is no problem with self-preservation.

Therefore, Pei Qian still politely refused the proposal of Lu Fei and a few people, and he carried a lamp and went directly to it.

Lu Fei and General Meng glanced at each other helplessly, and hurriedly followed.

They didn't expect that Pei Qian was not only stubborn, but also didn't care about the overall situation. If he is really injured at this juncture, then it will be really difficult for these generals. If the emperor is deducted for a crime of poor protection, they will really have trouble and can't say it.

Pei Qian cautiously moved his steps, his eyes looking around with some vigilance. The oil lamp in his hand illuminated a large part of the dark secret passage, and the secret passage was very quiet, only the footsteps of a few of them, and even their breathing could be faintly heard.

Several people held their breath, followed behind Pei Qian, and also walked forward cautiously.

None of them knew what danger existed in this secret passage, or what kind of mechanism it would have. If you're not careful, you can get hurt, so it's important to improve your concentration.

And Lu Fei and General Meng, following behind Pei Qian, were even more concentrated, and their eyes didn't dare to blink. If there is any danger in front of the meeting, they can protect the second prince as soon as possible.

Although they don't like Pei Qian very much, after all, he is the second prince of Tianli Country, and in their territory, they can't let this second prince have an accident. Otherwise, the charges against them will not be cleared.

Therefore, even if they were a little dissatisfied with Pei Qian in their hearts, Lu Fei and the others still dutifully followed behind Pei Qian and escorted him.

Pei Qian didn't care about the movement behind him, his eyes were staring straight ahead, and there was a trace of vigilance in his heart.

They had walked more than ten meters in this secret passage, but they still found nothing. There was no sound at all, and the secret passage was empty, and the place illuminated by the oil lamps was only a road made of mud, and there was nothing on the walls.

In such humid weather on the frontier, I didn't expect this secret passage to be made of mud, and it was still so dry, which was really a bit incredible.

Pei Qian looked at the mud above his head and around him, he reached out and touched it, and what he was in his hands was the hard and dry soil, and there was no feeling of wetness at all.

Does this mean that this tunnel, because it is usually sealed, there is no wind to blow in, so the mud here has always remained dry?

Pei Qian didn't think too much about it, he thought that this kind of small thing was not important at all. When you get to the end of the secret passage, everything will have an answer, won't it?

A few people walked forward slowly, but fortunately in the secret passage, the air was still sufficient, and they did not have difficulty breathing.

After finally turning another corner, there were inconsistencies in the secret passage in front of him.

Pei Qian frowned slightly, and looked at the secret passage in front of him. It seems that he still hasn't thought it through enough, and he didn't expect that there would be two paths in the secret passage.

Lu Fei, General Meng and the others behind noticed that Pei Qian had stopped, and they all stopped and looked ahead.

At this sight, they also frowned.

"There is actually a fork, maybe someone deliberately arranged it like this."

"That's right, this is supposed to be to confuse us, so there are two ways to deliberately make it up."

Pei Qian pondered, he turned his head, looked at Lu Fei, and asked, "How many people have we sent over?" Since there is a fork, let's go separately so that you don't miss a single thing. ”

General Meng listened to Pei Qian's words, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously, he didn't quite agree with the second prince's decision. At this time, if you are separated, not to mention what kind of danger there will be ahead, in such a critical situation, a group of people and horses go their separate ways, if you encounter any danger, I am afraid it will be difficult to be alone. What's more, they also need to protect the second prince.

General Meng was about to say something, but Lu Fei next to him suddenly grabbed him and gave him a slightly calm look.

Immediately, Lu Fei looked at Pei Qian and replied, "Back to the second prince, we only brought a total of eight soldiers this time, except for you, counting us, there are a total of ten people." ”

Pei Qian thought for a while, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then I will lead the five soldiers to the left passage, and you two take the remaining three soldiers to the right passage." ”

"Second prince, are your subordinates okay if they don't follow you?"

General Meng still couldn't help but interject.

Pei Qian glanced at General Meng, shook his head slightly, and said, "It's okay, the two of you can take care of each other together." What's more, this prince also has the ability to protect himself, you don't need to worry about it, you can rest assured, if something happens, this prince will not blame you, all of this is the prince's own decision, you just obey. ”

General Meng's footsteps paused, and Lu Fei next to him quietly pulled him again, then looked at Pei Qian, and said softly: "Since the second prince said so, then it is better for his subordinates to be respectful." It's just that I don't know what danger lies ahead, and I hope that the second prince will be careful, your safety is the first priority. ”

Pei Qian nodded, noncommittal.

Lu Fei beckoned to the soldiers behind him, he chose a few soldiers who looked more stable and reliable, and asked them to follow behind Pei Qian and be at his disposal at any time. The other three soldiers followed him and General Meng.

Pei Qian didn't talk too much nonsense, he told Lu Fei and the others a few words, and then set off to the secret passage on the left.

The figures of Pei Qian and several soldiers quickly disappeared into the secret passage, and a soldier behind Lu Fei took out a small torch from his arms and lit it, and the light in the secret passage was lit again.

Lu Fei nodded at the soldier, reached out and took his torch, and asked him to light another one.

There were five of them, and in order to see the road in front and behind clearly, a torch was obviously not enough.

Lu Fei held the torch and took the lead in the front.

General Meng followed behind him, silent for a long time, but still couldn't help but say, "Fei, why didn't you let me say it?" The second prince's move is very dangerous. What if something happens to him? ”

Lu Fei stared at the road in front of him and replied calmly: "You have also seen the emotions of the second prince. He doesn't want us to follow, so let him go, and even if you do, he'll refuse you for other reasons. Brother Meng, over the years, you still haven't learned how to better observe words and feelings. If you just said it, it will only increase the second prince's dissatisfaction with us, and he will not thank us. ”

After hearing this, General Meng scratched his head, sighed for a while, and said helplessly: "Okay, what you said does make sense, maybe I'm worried about it." Maybe the second prince does have this ability, and he doesn't need us at all. ”

Lu Fei glanced at him, then at the three soldiers who were following them from a distance, and lowered his voice and said to General Meng: "Moreover, the second prince must want to make a great contribution when he comes this time." He has been in the court for so long, didn't he still annoy the emperor some time ago? This time, he's afraid he's going to change. If we follow him, we are just robbing him of his credit, so it is better to be obedient and leave. ”

General Meng listened to Lu Fei's words, and then suddenly realized. It turned out that the real intention of the second prince was here. No wonder, he didn't like them anymore, and at first, he couldn't say anything about exploring this secret passage.

If it were someone else, how would they be willing to do such a thing?

It seems that he still thinks too little.

General Meng glanced at Lu Fei and muttered, "It seems that you kid, you have learned a lot from following the Sixth Prince for so long before." ”

Lu Fei smiled at him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You kid, haven't you also learned a lot of tricks?" I didn't even have a chance to ask the Six Princes for advice. ”

When Lu Fei said something, General Meng was also overjoyed.

"Hmph, that's it, the sixth prince liked to learn martial arts from me the most, you guys, let's stand aside."

"Okay, let's not waste my words with you, let's move forward quickly."
