"Third brother, don't go to the dungeon if you have nothing to do. Wait a few days until we get news from the Second Prince."
"Second brother, next month, we will go down the mountain to collect grain. You follow the third brother."
"Yes, big brother. I'll go with the third brother then."
"Brother, there's no need for the second child to go with me. I can just take a team with me."
"The villagers at the foot of the mountain are all frightened by us. I don't think they dare to resist us."
"Third brother, don't be careless. Also, I asked you to go down the mountain to collect grain. Don't do anything else that is not related to collecting grain."
"If anyone causes trouble and ruins the Second Prince's plans, I won't be able to protect you."
After hearing what the eldest brother said, the second and third brothers sitting below looked at each other and quickly separated.
"Brother, I understand. I will definitely control the soldiers under me."
"Brother, don't worry, I will keep the third one under control."
When the third brother heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and said, "Second brother, how can you say that? Am I that unreliable?"
"Second brother, you do. With your lustful nature, if no one is watching, it will really cause trouble."
The boss sitting upstairs interrupted the conversation and said, "We are in Qingfeng Village, so we must keep a low profile."
"This isn't something you can just talk about. Also, the soldiers under your supervision must set aside time for training every day."
"You can't just eat, drink and have fun in the mountains. That would be a waste."
After the boss said this, he suddenly asked, "How's Shilin Town doing lately? Are there any suspicious strangers?"
"Brother, before I came to the meeting hall, the spies who were responsible for gathering information in Shilin Town reported that many refugee groups had arrived in Shilin Town today."
"Second brother, how are those refugee groups doing? Are there any that have a lot of food?"
"Brother, as long as the refugees can reach us, the conditions are pretty good. However, the spies said that no fat sheep were found."
"Those refugees also went to Shilin Town to gather information today."
"By the way, big brother, the scout who came to report said there's a group of refugees that's quite conspicuous."
The boss immediately became interested and asked, "Tell me quickly, how did it become so conspicuous?"
"Brother, the spies said that the refugee group should be a village. Almost every household has a donkey. However, there shouldn't be much food on the cart."
"In addition, there are some small teams who also came by car."
The eldest brother thought for a while and said, "Let the spies continue to explore and see if they have any food. If not, we can rob their donkey carts and use them to transport food."
"Brother, that's a good idea. We just don't have enough trucks to transport food. Now there's food being delivered right to our door."
The eldest boss looked at the third boss with appreciation, "Not bad, you finally use your brain."
The Third Master boasted, "Big Brother, you're underestimating me. I've always used both my brain and my hands."
The Second Master looked at the Third Master speechlessly. How could one not know oneself well enough to say such a thing?
After hearing this, the boss was speechless.
"Let's send spies tomorrow to continue gathering information. As long as there are any good opportunities, we must not let them go."
"Yes, big brother."
"Yes, big brother."
"Okay, both of you go get some rest. We'll get together again if anything else."
After hearing this, the second and third in command left the meeting room.
The boss who stayed in the conference room sat there in a daze for a while.
The Second Prince's behavior has become increasingly absurd over the past two years. Fortunately, his advisors have always been very capable.
For example, the last time we sent people to intercept the young master, it was the counselors’ idea.
If it weren't for the young master's guards who fought to the death, the young master could have been captured at that time and used to threaten the eldest prince.
It was a complete failure. However, there was nothing that could be done about it. The eldest prince would definitely place capable guards around the young prince.
Ever since the young master escaped last time, there has been no news of him.
However, news came from the Second Prince that the Young Master had not returned to the First Prince's Mansion.
Therefore, the second prince arranged these more than 600 people in Qingfeng Village not only to steal food.
This is also because Qingfeng Village is on the only way to the south. If the young master wants to return to Yunzhou, he will definitely pass through here.
The eldest prince must have sent a lot of people to look for the young master. Now it depends on which group finds the young master first.
The eldest master thought for a moment and decided that he should send more people to watch over the refugees passing by. If the young master hid in the refugee group, he would be missed.
The boss hurriedly arranged more people to go down the mountain to guard against the passing refugees.
Let’s talk about the eldest prince’s mansion, which is not too far from here. It is also shrouded in gloom and sorrow.
Because the Tianlong Kingdom’s army is stationed at the border, the eldest prince has been busy setting up camp and preparing food and fodder in the military camp.
The eldest prince has not returned to the prince's mansion for more than half a month.
The eldest princess, who was alone in the eldest prince's mansion, was worrying about the meal.
"Mammy, I really can't eat."
"Grand Concubine, you should eat something. Otherwise, how can you hold on?"
"How about this, after you finish your meal, Madam will take you to the refugee settlement at the city gate to inquire about the situation. See if there's any news about the young master."
"Mammy, is that true? Didn't they say a few days ago that no refugees had seen Zirui?"
"Grand Concubine, refugees arrive at the city gate every day. Today we are here to inquire about news from the refugees who just arrived."
"However, Grand Princess, you can only stay in the carriage and cannot get off. Doing so will attract the attention of those who are interested."
"Mammy, why don't you come with me to the teahouse and have some tea. Let the people down there find out everything, and then they can come find us. That way, it won't be so noticeable."
The nanny breathed a sigh of relief. "Grand Concubine, you are right. We must not lose our composure at this moment."
"You know, at this time, no news is the best news."
"Moreover, the eldest prince sent someone back yesterday to say that there was no news of the young master from the second prince's mansion."
"It seems that the young master is still on his way back to Yunzhou. Now it depends on when our people can find the young master."
"Okay, Mammy, I understand. Please wait for me for a moment. After I finish my meal, we will set off."
"Okay, Grand Princess, please eat slowly and eat more. Mammy is waiting for you."
"Well, Mammy, I'm so grateful for your presence. What else could I have done?"
"Don't worry, Grand Concubine. Mammy won't go anywhere and will stay with you in the mansion. When the young master returns, Mammy will look after him for you."
"Mammy, you are so old now and have worked so hard for me for so many years. I originally planned to let you rest."
