Several generals listened to Pei Qian's words and nodded, a trace of regret flashed on their faces.

Lu Fei next to him said: "My subordinates think that even if the sixth prince looks like this now, he is still a very powerful man." In the hearts of his subordinates, if the six princes want to do something, they will definitely be able to succeed. ”

When Pei Qian heard Lu Fei say this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he was more jealous of Pei Xiu. He couldn't figure out why these people still had such high expectations for him in their hearts when that man had been in a wheelchair for so long, and he had barely appeared in the public eye in the past few years.

Perhaps for Pei Qian, what he can't accept the most is that it is clear that the man is living so much worse than himself now, and even he feels that he can no longer achieve anything, but in the hearts of others, he is still a strong man, and he has great respect for him.

Maybe Pei Qian will never understand how much influence Pei Xiu has on these people. After all, when he was fighting on the battlefield, these generals already admired him very much. Those who can do this at a young age, except for the six princes, I am afraid that there is no one else.

Such a man, even if an accident happens, his status in their hearts will not change. This is also the reason why Pei Tianyu has always been very optimistic about Pei Xiu, in Pei Tianyu's heart, this son of his, no matter when and where, is his proudest and proudest son.

As long as he wants, this world is his. After all, a wheelchair doesn't limit a person's abilities, does it?

This is also something that Pei Qian lacks, no wonder he is so jealous of Pei Xiu. But jealousy didn't help, and he would never be able to erase Pei Xiu's contribution to the Heavenly Departure Kingdom. And he wouldn't believe it at all, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't compare to Pei Xiu.

Pei Qian didn't take Lu Fei's words, and the generals next to him didn't seem to have any intention of talking to the second prince, and they didn't speak. There is something wrong with the expressions of the second prince, although they are proficient in martial arts, they are not stupid, the emotions of the second prince, they can still feel it a little.

If you want to blame Pei Qian, you can only blame Pei Qian, who didn't control himself in time, otherwise, he wouldn't have exposed his thoughts.

The generals also saw that the two princes did not seem to be so convinced by the six princes. It seems that the brotherhood in this deep palace is really not as good as it seems.

After all, they are courtiers, and they don't dare to say anything, but they have some plans in their hearts.

Pei Qian took a few steps forward and walked around the granary, except for the grain and grass he brought for emergency use, the rest of the grain and grass had basically disappeared without a trace. Pei Qian frowned, thinking in his heart, how did these grains and grass get out, which was also too strange.

He thought about it, but he didn't have a clue for the time being, and he didn't know enough about the terrain here, so he asked Lu Fei for a map of the frontier.

After looking at the area map, Pei Qian found that there were indeed barren mountains in the vicinity, and it stands to reason that if there was any trouble, it was impossible for their sentry soldiers and patrolling soldiers not to find out.

So why did this grain and grass disappear?

Pei Qian was also a little puzzled, he had a headache, no wonder this time his father asked him to deal with this matter, this is really a troublesome matter. Originally, Pei Qian didn't think it was such a big deal, but now the responsibility is on his head, if he doesn't do this well, his original status in his father's heart will decline a little, and now he is afraid that it will be even more discounted, which is not what Pei Qian wants to see.

But now, he was stumped.

Several generals stood beside them, looking at the frowning and contemplative second prince, and looked at each other for a moment, and they all saw the same message in each other's eyes.

It seems that this second prince is not very good, although it is rumored by the outside world how good his personality is, but this ability, they don't see the reason.

It would be good if the Six Princes were there, and they believed that as long as the Six Princes were there, they would definitely be able to come up with a way to solve this matter. Of course, they won't say this kind of thing in their hearts, after all, they still want to live.

If the two princes are displeased, it will not be a good thing for them.

After all, now, they really still have to rely on him, who made him the prince?

What Pei Qian didn't know was that because of his words and attitude, his status had been greatly reduced among several generals. Even if he wants to lead troops to fight in the future, he is afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public.

If you want to say why, maybe it is because he himself has become less of a general. Pei Qian has always treated everyone with a gentle temperament, and the people have a good impression of him, and they all praise the second prince as a man who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and has a gentle personality, and treats everyone very friendly. But that's all, if you let such a person be the commander, I'm afraid it's not enough.

In terms of momentum alone, he has already lost.

If Pei Qian knew what several generals really thought of him, he was afraid that he would vomit blood in anger.

At this moment, Pei Qian was still looking at the map in his hand intently, he looked at a few routes nearby, and then asked: "Have you sent people to find a few roads in the northeast and southwest around here?" ”

One of the generals nodded and responded: "Back to the second prince, the roads that can be walked around here, including the steep mountain roads in the north, have been sent by subordinates to investigate, and there is no trace of grain and grass on the road. Moreover, there is not the slightest trace of it, and the grain and grass may not have passed through these roads at all. ”

Without the slightest trace?

Pei Qian's brows furrowed even deeper, it stands to reason that this granary is usually tightly locked, only General Lu Fei has a key there, and the person in charge of helping him inspect has a key on him, and the other people have no chance to enter the granary at all, so the people outside here, did they steal the key to enter?

What Pei Qian couldn't figure out was that even if the man stole the key, how could so many loads of food be transported out quickly overnight?

He had already learned the situation from Lu Fei, and only when the shift was handed over every day, there would be an unguarded state in the granary, but the time in between was extremely short, not even more than half an hour at most.

What can you do in half an hour? If it were Pei Qian himself, he was afraid that he would not be able to transport a few loads of grain and grass. What's more, he didn't think that the thief would have such great ability, and the soldiers who left the country were not vegetarians.

Lu Fei's set of guards' plans, in Pei Qian's eyes, was already very perfect, and basically there were no loopholes. And the subordinate in charge of the other key has also been interrogated, and his key has always been kept by his side, and he even carries it with him when he sleeps in the toilet, and there is no chance that others will steal it, so it is also unlikely.

And Lu Fei, it's even more impossible, he is such a strong general, who can get closer?

Pei Qian had already looked around the granary on the periphery, if there was no key, this granary would not be able to enter at all.

Therefore, if he wants to catch the thief now, he can only start with how to enter the granary. If he couldn't get rid of this doubt, he would have no way of knowing how the man had managed to get so much food.

But now, no matter what aspect it is, Pei Qian is a little at a loss. In the current situation, even he, who has always been shrewd, is in a predicament, and he is indeed a little sad and doesn't know what to do.

On the first day, Pei Qian couldn't think of any way, he could only symbolically appease the generals and let them stabilize the soldiers' emotions first. The next day, they came back to figure out a way, and just sent the generals back to rest.

Several generals returned to the main tent and gathered together to drink.

One of the generals looked at Lu Fei, who was a little sullen, patted him on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Fei, don't blame yourself too much, this matter, since the emperor has sent someone over, then it will be handed over to the imperial court to deal with, we just need to do our own work." ”

Lu Fei glanced at his brother, nodded slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and said helplessly: "I also know this truth, but originally I was expecting the two princes to find out the thief earlier, after all, this is really annoying." You say, there is so much food, and so many of our brothers, but we all count on this food to survive, and if we say that it is gone, how can we live in our hearts? The food brought by the second prince can only be eaten for half a month at most, and it can't be saved at all. ”

The other general nodded with deep sympathy and said: "Fei is right, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to get all the grain back, and the corpses of the dead must be fished, not to mention that there is so much grain and grass, it is impossible to disappear for no reason." Can anyone really do this in such a short period of time? I can't figure it out. ”

"If you want me to say, these two princes don't seem to have any great ability. Otherwise, when he looks like this today, he is just like us, without the slightest clue. If this continues, can that grain really be recovered? A general said with a worried face.

At the moment, their situation is a little embarrassing, the soldiers know that the grain and grass are missing, but they don't know that almost all the grain and grass are missing! If they really knew, I'm afraid it would turn the world upside down. After all, this is a matter of life, and even if a few generals have the courage, they dare not tell the truth.

Now they can only hide it first, if they can find food and grass as soon as possible, it is a good thing. If you can't find it, the consequences are unimaginable.

Originally, they still had hope for the second prince. But now it seems that there is little hope.

Lu Fei took a sip of the spirits, and the hot wine slowly flowed down his throat, and bursts of warmth hit him.

He sighed and said, "If the Six Princes are here, it will be fine." ”
