When Ke Xi lay back on the bed, he smacked his mouth.

I looked at Qi Huan, who was still asleep, and felt that I had taken advantage of Lord Qi, but Lord Qi didn't know anything, and I felt very happy when I thought about it.

Then he fell asleep contentedly.

Ke Xi, who was asleep, didn't know that after she fell asleep, the "sleeping" Lord Qi woke up slowly.

Qi Huan didn't fall asleep at the beginning, Ke Xi called him and he heard it, but he didn't respond, thinking that the little girl should hurry up to sleep when she saw that he didn't respond.

Who would have thought that the little girl would be so bold! If it weren't for his good concentration, he really wanted to correct the little girl on the spot!

Qi Huan felt that the little girl was too capable of tossing and too unreserved, which made people have a headache.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook.

……

Three days ago, the prince and his entourage passed through Shuangxiang Town, sent some people to Shuangxiang Town to buy supplies, and the rest of the large army passed directly through Shuangxiang Town, stopped at a place twenty miles away from Shuangziling, and camped on the spot.

Twin Ridges is the place where the disaster silver was robbed before.

The crown prince sent ten more Yu Linwei, who were good at concealment, to Shuangziling to investigate the terrain and situation of Shuangziling.

The prince decided to catch the rogues in Twin Ridge first, and the thing that lured those rogues to appear was the batch of disaster silver in his hand.

Lu Yuanfeng was a little worried: "Prince, we don't even know how many people there are on the other side, wouldn't it be too risky to do this when the enemy is dark and I am in the dark?" ”

The prince patted Lu Yuanfeng on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Ning Yuan, I have a sense of proportion, if the news that comes back from the investigation shows that the other party has a large number of people, I will not be hard-hitting." ”

I'm afraid that when the time comes, it's not a question of whether he wants to take the risk or not!

In the evening, the ten Yu Linwei who went out to inquire about the news came back, and summarized the information of the ten people, and Qi Huan drew a rough picture of the terrain within a radius of ten miles from Shuangziling.

Prince: "It's very strange that Yu Linwei took the place where the silver was robbed last time as the center of the circle, and observed a place ten miles away, but he didn't find anyone. ”

Lu Yuanfeng: "Could it be that they thought it was enough after robbing it once, and this time there were 2,000 people in Yulinwei alone, and they didn't want to take risks, so they didn't show up?" ”

Qi Huan shook his head and denied Lu Yuanfeng's speculation, "I have analyzed, according to the words of the guard who escaped before, that group of people appeared suddenly, and the guards who escorted the disaster silver were drugged, so they had no power to resist, which reflects several information." ”

"First, the burial site of those so-called rogues must not be far from the place of the incident."

Ke Xi was puzzled: "Why? ”

Qi Huan glanced at Ke Xi and explained: "The matter of escorting the disaster silver cannot be sloppy, so we will definitely send someone to investigate the road situation ahead in advance, if no suspicious place is found during the investigation, then the place where the group of people are hiding will not be very far, which can ensure that they can quickly reach the ambush place, if a suspicious place is found, it is the second point I want to say." ”

Qi Huan paused for a moment: "Among the people who escorted the disaster silver, there are internal responses, not many, maybe only four or five people, but they will be distributed among the scouts and gangsters, and cooperate with each other, so they can easily take medicine." ”

"Third, the place where they are hiding is very hidden, within a radius of ten miles from the place where the disaster silver was robbed, it may be a naturally formed cave, and the place where they can hide is limited, but this kind of cave may have been artificially expanded."

"Fourth, from the emperor's decree to the disaster silver escort to this place, the time does not exceed a month, the naturally formed cave is difficult to dig, and in order to hide the traces, the area of the cave that can be expanded is limited, so at that time they may have about two thousand people, and now, the number of personnel has definitely increased, but it will definitely not exceed five thousand."

Speaking of this, Qi Huan looked at the prince: "The prince has long guessed that this group of people cannot be some kind of rogues. ”

After all, the disaster in Cangzhou is in a low-lying place in the south, but the north of Cangzhou is not affected, and they have been forced to fall into the grass, how can they still run from the south of Cangzhou to the north of Cangzhou?

Cangzhou north was not affected by the heavy rain, there was no problem with the order, but Cangzhou south is different, Cangzhou south because of serious waterlogging, but only the people are affected, many unscrupulous businessmen will take the opportunity to make a fortune, if they are forced to fall into the grass, Cangzhou south is a good place to occupy the mountain as the king.

The most important thing is that the victims fell into the grass because they couldn't see a way to live, and now the imperial court has sent people to provide disaster relief, and the silver was originally to be distributed to the people, so how stupid are the rogues to risk being beheaded to rob their own silver?

The crown prince nodded, "Yes, my father and I both suspect that this is a private soldier raised by some people, and it will rob the disaster silver, and it is also to further develop the number of private soldiers." ”

Ke Xi and Zhang Yunxuan were stunned when they heard this.

Especially Zhang Yunxuan, I think these ancients are really terrifying, and they can analyze so many things with a casual sentence.

Sure enough, those things that play with the ancients in the palm of your hand will only appear in novels.

is also glad that she didn't feel that she was the chosen daughter because of a momentary crossing, and then swelled and then despised these ancients, but was honest, otherwise, she felt that she might have died young!

Ke Xi looked at Qi Huan with admiration.

After Lu Yuanfeng saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but provoke: "Lord Qi has said so much, then guess where this cave will be?" ”

Qi Huan pointed to a place.

……

After summoning his henchmen over to analyze some situations and discuss tactics, the prince walked over to Qi Huan and sat down.

"Master Qi, I have something to ask you."

"The prince commands."

"I plan to let you take Xi'er first, we will divide into two ways, you and Xi'er will be in front, and inquire about the situation in Cangzhou for me."

Qi Huan was stunned: "Is the prince afraid that there will be people in Cangzhou who will disobey the yang and the yin?" ”

The prince smiled, put his hand on Qi Huan's shoulder, and patted it, "It's easy to talk to Lord Qi." Then Zhengse said: "My father once taught me to judge whether a person is a good official in the place, not to see whether he is respectful to you in front of you, but to observe what kind of person he is in the mouth of the people and in the people around him. ”

Qi Huan thought of something, and suddenly smiled sarcastically: "But he may have deceived the people around him." ”

Qi Huan's reaction caught the prince off guard, and he didn't know how to alleviate the embarrassment, and for a while, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

In the end, it was Qi Huan who broke the silence, "The prince trusts the minister so much? ”

The crown prince glanced at Ke Xi, who was playing with Zhang Yunxuan not far away, and said: "I used to think that you are not good at oil and salt, whether it is for me or for the five emperor brothers, you don't know how to be flexible, and you won't please the superiors, I will use such a Qi Lord with confidence, but I won't trust you." ”

"Later, after you got to know Xi'er, you began to help me intentionally or unintentionally, and some things would be revealed to me on your own initiative, I felt that you were a person with bad intentions and shameless to achieve your goals."

Speaking of this, the prince snorted, then sighed again, and agreed a little: "I have seen your eyes when you look at Xi'er, they will glow, and you know how to forbear." ”

"So I'm relieved to hand over Xi'er to you."

"I think you will be the only person in Xi'er's life who can always value Xi'er more than anyone, including yourself."

The prince was a little stunned: "And I, I can't do it." ”
