On this side, Pei Qian began his own exploration of the secret passage.

On the other side, Pei Tianyu was sitting in the huge imperial study, listening to the official's report.

He glanced at the officials below, and then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but ask out loud: "He Aiqing, Xiao Er has been to the frontier for a while, right?" What is going on now, I don't seem to have received any news here. ”

When the official in charge of this matter heard this, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Unexpectedly, the emperor still asked about this matter, although he didn't get much information, but on the border side, there really didn't seem to be any progress.

Even such a smart second prince can't settle this matter, and the loss of grain and grass this time is just a little tricky.

I just don't know what kind of attitude the emperor will have when he knows about this matter. After all, there was such a big thing in the frontier, although the emperor didn't say much, but he sent the second prince over as soon as possible, which is enough to explain his attitude.

What's more, there was a little bit of life between the emperor and the second prince before. This time, the emperor chose to send the second prince, perhaps also to make his position clear, wanting to let the second prince experience it. After all, if the second prince has been unable to get along with the emperor because of the things in the backyard, this will not be of any benefit to the second prince.

Some of them, the court officials, have already stood in line. This is actually not a big secret in the palace, but the emperor may not care very much.

But the emperor's mind, who dares to speculate? The king's heart is the most unpredictable, and no one dares to guess the emperor's mind rashly, so the emperor's heart is not clear, maybe only the emperor himself knows.

As one of the officials of Tianli Country, he had already stood on the side of the second prince a long time ago. In his eyes, the most optimistic person who left the country on this day was naturally the sixth prince of the year. However, since he chose to use the word back then, it is enough to show that the current six princes really can't get into his eyes.

Although the emperor still loves the six princes as always, officials like him generally believe that although the six princes are indeed very capable, he is now crippled after all. Let's ask, how could Tianli choose a person who has been in a wheelchair all his life to be the emperor? This is obviously impossible.

Maybe a large part of the emperor's love for him comes from guilt and distress for him.

But sometimes, the emperor's attitude towards Pei Xiu also made many people who were watching very confused. If it's just a simple distress for the six princes, this favor is inevitably too much. Who doesn't know that now the emperor not only loves the six princes, but also crowns the future six princesses as the lord of Heyue County, which has never happened before!

Therefore, after a series of incidents, the attitude of many officials has wavered a little. Many people do not dare to stand in line easily, after all, behind them is the entire family, not just them. If you stand on the wrong team, it is related to the rise and fall of the entire family.

When Officer He thought of this, he was even more determined in his thoughts.

For example, the most promising person to leave the country today is the second prince he supports, and his brain is no worse than that of the sixth prince, but over the years, the light on his body has been blocked by the six princes. He believes that as long as the second prince is given a certain amount of experience, over time, the emperor will definitely change his attitude towards the second prince.

Official He coughed, and according to the news he had just received, he added fuel and vinegar and said: "Your Majesty, you don't know that the second prince has arrived at the frontier, but he is very concerned about the soldiers in the frontier. Not only did the grain and grass be delivered safely, but I heard that the soldiers also listened to the words of the second prince very much. And I heard that the batch of grain and grass that has been giving the generals a headache, the second prince already has a clue. ”

Pei Tianyu's eyebrows raised slightly, and he said, "Oh? Is Xiao Er so capable? Aiqing quickly talk to me, what happened to this grain and grass? ”

When Officer He saw Pei Tianyu's concerned expression, he was overjoyed, and he spoke even more vigorously on the surface.

"Your Majesty, you don't know, because in the past few days, it has been raining on the frontier, but the second prince sent people to search the surroundings and found that there were no people or footprints of carriages around. So he speculated that perhaps the one who stole the grain and grass might not have taken those paths at all. Later, after the investigation of the second prince, sure enough, in the granary, he found a secret passage! ”

After Pei Tianyu heard this, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

"Xiao Er actually found the secret passage? It seems that the thief who stole the grain and grass left through the secret passage. No wonder they couldn't find the slightest trace on land, and no wonder they couldn't find the general. This secret passage has always been in this granary. Xiao Er did a good job this time, and he didn't live up to the fact that I sent him to the frontier. ”

Hearing that Pei Tianyu unabashedly admired the second prince, a hint of joy flashed in Official He's eyes, but he didn't show it too obviously. Otherwise, it's a bit weird.

Right now, as long as the second prince succeeds in finding this large amount of grain and grass, he will be able to make a great contribution! When the time comes, the emperor will definitely reward him heavily, and when the time comes, will he be far away from the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune?

Official He has always believed in one thing, since he chose the second prince, he will definitely support him unconditionally, and even try his best to help him. Only when the second prince is good, he will become better and better. If you follow the right person, he will never go the wrong way, and the winner is king, which has always been the same truth.

Pei Tianyu asked a few more words about the frontier, and Officer He almost patted his chest and told Pei Tianyu that the second prince would definitely find those grains and grass, so that Pei Tianyu could rest assured.

After Pei Tianyu heard about the secret passage, he was indeed a little relieved. Although he didn't say anything on the surface, with so much grain and grass, even if he was the king of a country, he felt very distressed. After all, so many rations, so many mouths on the frontier, and thousands of quintals of grain are just gone, no matter who they are, they can't accept it in their hearts.

Therefore, at the moment, Pei Tianyu only hopes that Pei Qian can find that batch of grain and grass as soon as possible, and the general's heart will be stabilized. Otherwise, if the soldiers knew that all the food and grass had disappeared, they would be in trouble.

What kind of scene will there be at that time, Rao is Pei Tianyu, it is a little unimaginable.

In the Six Princes' Mansion, Pei Xiu was sitting in a wheelchair, and a man in black next to him was reporting to him about the frontier.

Pei Xiu touched the smooth chin under the mask, and then said softly: "Secret room?" The timing of the appearance is indeed quite coincidental. ”

The black-clothed man next to him glanced at Pei Xiu, lowered his head quietly, and did not say a word. He never guessed what his master thought. But this time, could it be that the second prince is really going to make a great contribution? In this way, it is not a good thing for the master.

After all, the second prince can't get used to seeing the master, this kind of thing, how can they not be clear about this kind of thing after following the master for so long?

Pei Xiu seemed to see through the thoughts of the man in black, he smiled lowly, and his magnetic voice echoed in the quiet room.

"Second brother, this time, maybe he really stepped on the 'shit luck', who knows, but these things have nothing to do with me."

The man in black didn't know what Pei Xiu was referring to, and it was inconvenient for him to ask more. Since his own master is not worried, he is a subordinate, what else is there to worry about?

After the man in black reported the affairs of the frontier, Pei Xiu thought about it and asked again: "What I sent you to find last time, have you found it?" ”

The man in black was stunned, and then reacted, the master is now asking about another matter.

He nodded at Pei Xiu and said, "Back to the master, my subordinates sent a lot of people to look for it, and finally found the trace of that thing in another country, and it took some effort to bring it back." ”

After Pei Xiu heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he said: "You guys are so good to watch, don't let your master mother know." ”

The man in black naturally knew what his master meant, he nodded respectfully, and then quickly disappeared into the room.

Pei Xiu sat on the chair, took a sip of hot tea, and his eyes drifted a little away.

Now that time has flown by, I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, several years have passed. He originally thought that he couldn't remember the events of that year, but he didn't expect that all the scenes that happened back then are still vivid in his mind.

Lu Fei and a few of them have become generals, and Pei Xiu naturally knows about it. Although over the years, he has stayed at home on the surface, but in fact, the matter of leaving the country has always been in his control. Whatever happens in the frontier will also be conveyed to Pei Xiu as soon as possible.

Although he didn't send any more letters to Lu Fei and the others, in his heart, he didn't forget to worry about the affairs of the frontier. What makes Pei Xiu feel gratified is that over the years, several of them have led the soldiers in the frontier very well, and every time good news comes from the frontier, Pei Xiu is happy for a few of them.

If that hadn't happened at the beginning, maybe today, he would still be staying in the frontier and contributing his part to the Heavenly Departure Country. After all, he also had a lot of enthusiasm back then, and he wanted to protect this piece of land well.

Now, it's not that he has lost this feeling, it's just that he's changed it in a different way.

I don't know how Lu Fei and the others are doing now.

Pei Xiu believed that even in the past few years of his absence, they still had not forgotten what they had taught them back then. If they met, maybe Pei Xiu would praise them well.

But now, apparently, it's not time yet.

Next, what will happen, Pei Xiu has some expectations.

He thought about it for a moment, stretched lazily, and didn't seem to worry about the affairs of the frontier at all.

"Let the thief stumble for a while."
