Chapter 310: Impossible
Su Wanqing glanced at Pei Xiu a little helplessly, his little mouth has been getting sweeter and sweeter recently, and he didn't blink his eyes when he said these love words, it seems that he is indeed looking forward to the upcoming marriage.
Can Pei Xiu not look forward to it? What he originally wanted was to be able to be with Su Wanqing all the time, and the two of them became married, which is, to a certain extent, the best proof. He has been looking forward to the day when Su Wanqing can truly become his wife in a meaningful sense, and this day may be coming.
The current Pei Xiu is like a silly boy who has just fallen in love, as long as Su Wanqing is by his side, he feels extremely happy. And this feeling will continue to last.
When two people stay together, even the air, it's sweet. There is no room for anyone to intervene between them.
On the other side, several generals came to the gate of the granary in a hurry. The soldiers next to them all looked at their heads with some curiosity, and their faces all had a look of expectation and nervousness.
What's wrong with their great generals? Why did this look appear on his face, could it be that there was any new progress in the search for grain and grass?
No, are all the rumors of the loss of grain and grass true?
Although at the beginning, several generals did mention to them vaguely that a small part of the grain and grass was lost in the barracks, and they thought it was not a big deal at first.
But it wasn't until the second prince and the sixth prince appeared one after another, coupled with the rumors that they didn't know where they came from, that they had to start to be suspicious. In addition, in the past few days, the mood of several generals does not seem to be very good, which also confirms this matter from the side. If it is true, as the rumors say, they have lost almost all their food and grass, what should they do if an enemy country comes to attack?
In fact, regarding the rumors, many soldiers are skeptical, but now that the six princes have also appeared, they can't help but believe it. Otherwise, how could the emperor send the two princes who could be said to be the best in Tianli Country? Something must have happened in the barracks.
People are dignified princes of Tianli Kingdom, is it possible that they will be full of food and come here to play? This is obviously impossible. But now seeing the expressions of the generals, although those soldiers didn't dare to ask, they were actually secretly questioning in their hearts.
Panic, for sure. After all, there are so many soldiers in their barracks, if they really go to war, and they don't have food and grass, it will be like going to die. Although they all have great respect for the generals, who would joke with their lives? They all have their own families and children in Tianli Country, so naturally they can't have an accident!
Otherwise, your family will be finished! They are all strong men, basically the pillars of the family, if the pillars fall, then the wives and children must not starve to death? They must not die.
Several generals have not had the heart to consider the emotions of their subordinates recently for the sake of food and grass, plus the arrival of the six princes. They didn't know that these rumors had already spread in the barracks, and many soldiers were secretly discussing them, but on the surface, they still didn't have the courage to ask about it.
They were also scared, what if they went to ask the general and got a positive answer? And if the general denied it, but what happened to the second prince, how to explain it? Therefore, thinking about it left and right, it seems that these words cannot be asked.
In a way, they are also afraid to know the truth. If the truth is really what they think, it is really scary.
But fortunately, these soldiers were well trained, and even in such a situation, they spontaneously continued to participate in training every day without complaining. If it had been replaced by soldiers from other countries, I am afraid that there would have been a riot long ago.
All this is also due to Pei Xiu's policy to several generals a few years ago, he ordered the generals who were still adjutant generals to train these soldiers according to the standards in the barracks in the future, the purpose is not only to cultivate their combat ability, but also to cultivate each other's previous tacit understanding and loyalty.
A few years later, it seems that Pei Xiu's method at that time was indeed very effective. The soldiers who left the country, plus the soldiers of other countries who had surrendered to Cheng before, had a very harmonious relationship, and there were few internal contradictions.
Several generals didn't know that the method given to them by their boss would actually have an unexpected effect at this time. If there is still internal strife and turmoil at this juncture of external trouble, they are only a few people, and there is no way to calm them down. They can't imagine what the consequences will be.
After all, in their eyes at the moment, the most important thing is the batch of grain and grass that they haven't found. If they can't find food and grass, everything is empty talk, and their danger is one more point.
"Open the door to the granary!"
Lu Fei, who has always been gentle, almost roared at the soldiers guarding the granary, looking anxious.
Startling the soldier, he quickly took the key out of his bosom and opened the door.
General Lu, what the hell is going on with them, General Limeng is more impatient on weekdays, and they are used to it. But even General Lu, who has always had a good temper, showed such a look, which made those soldiers even more curious and apprehensive.
But they believed that their great general would give them a satisfactory explanation. There is no reason, just because they trust their heads.
This is the most absolute loyalty and belief in a leader, and it is impossible to form it without acquired training. And this is also where Pei Xiu is clever, his way does save a lot of energy for several generals.
The door of the granary was soon opened by the soldiers, and several generals rushed into the door like a group of children who had been locked up for a long time and were uncontrolled.
Fortunately, the door of the granary was big enough, otherwise, they would have crashed into each other.
The granary was no different from usual, but in the eyes of several great generals, it seemed to be injected with life, waiting there quietly, waiting for them to discover its last secret.
Partition after partition cut off all of their sight. Just having to disassemble it is already very troublesome.
General Meng stepped forward, grabbed a partition next to the secret passage, and pushed hard, but found that he didn't move at all. He didn't believe in evil, and tried his best to eat, but the partition was not pushed open as he expected, and it was still like a mountain, standing there without moving, as if mocking General Meng's powerlessness.
Several generals next to him came over to help, but they didn't push away either. The partition that didn't look big didn't seem to be able to move it at all. You know, in this granary, such partitions, if not thousands, are hundreds!
They can't even push a partition now, so what is left ......
The generals were silent for a moment, and then called a few soldiers with weapons and tried to pry the partition open with tools. They didn't believe in a small partition and tried in vain to stop them.
A few soldiers picked up their weapons as they said and were about to break the partition, but several of them, with weapons in their hands, did not even open the partition. You can imagine how hard that partition is.
Several generals looked at the immovable partition and looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.
This partition can't even be broken, will there really be something in it that they need? Even they can't open it, how did the people behind the scenes hide the grain and grass in it?
The successive failures made these generals a little exhausted. Looking at the secret passage that was still open, they did have some doubts about life at the moment.
Could it be that they really have no way to find that batch of grain and grass? They had gotten the message, but they couldn't open the partition.
It's like a hungry lion looking at a big lump of meat in front of him, but there's no way to put his mouth down. It's not a good feeling at all.
On Pei Xiu's side, he was still holding the girl's hand, and he was not willing to let go at all. Su Wanqing tilted her head to look at him, and said after a while: "Why hasn't there been any movement for so long?" Have they not found food and grass yet? ”
Pei Xiu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "Wanwan, you said that they wouldn't still be trying to pry open those partitions now, right?" ”
Su Wanqing: "......" According to the current situation, it is very likely.
Pei Xiu helped his head, and said helplessly after a while: "These people are really, it seems that they are really dizzy." ”
Su Wanqing glanced at Pei Xiu sympathetically, and then said, "Let's go over and have a look, right?" ”
Before the two of them left, Pei Qian had already taken the lead in reaching the door of the granary. He had already received the news just now, and several generals rushed to the granary in a hurry, as if they were looking for something.
He thought to himself, isn't there news about those grains and grasses? Although he didn't want to see Pei Xiu very much, in order to find this batch of grain and grass, he didn't care so much, so he hurriedly came over to check.
Several generals who were still distressed saw the second prince appear, and although they were not in a good mood, they still saluted the second prince.
Pei Qian looked at their sad faces, and couldn't help but ask his doubts.
Several generals didn't think about it, and told Pei Qian about Pei Xiu's analysis before, but did not reveal that Su Wanqing was also here.
Even if they are a few rough men, they also know that the future sixth princess seems to have had a marriage contract with the second prince before, and they don't want to go wrong at this juncture.
Pei Qian listened to the words of several generals, his eyebrows were raised, and he couldn't help but say, "Those grains and grass are in this granary?" It's simply impossible! ”
