The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

But the mood of several people did not relax for long, and soon became a lot heavier, especially Magistrate Wei.

He kept thinking about the words "guarding Mobei" in his mind, thinking about the meaning of the King of Chu's collaboration with the enemy in His Highness's words, and understood that His Highness's hurry to call them here must be related to the invasion of Beidi.

Magistrate Wei whispered: "Your Highness, what's going on in Beidi?"

Gu Yuzhi shook his head, first recounted Mr. Huo's guess, and then said: "That's why I called you here because I want to tell you that the focus of Mobei this year is to collect grain."

He looked at Magistrate Ke: "Especially for you all across the state, you must prepare all the food and grass needed for the battle."

Magistrate Ke stood up and responded respectfully: "We still have to worry about the purchase of grain and grass, Guard Shen."

These people are considered their own people, and they naturally all know that Wen's Trading Company is guarded by Shen Guards, and the Mobei Trading Group is now controlled by Wen's Trading Company, so the purchase of food naturally has to go through them.

Guard Shen stood behind Gu Yuzhi and nodded slightly.

In the past few days, because Guard Qi has reported to the Mobei Army, Guard Zhang is watching from the mulberry forest, and other guards are walking around and guarding the city. Naturally, he has to come back and be responsible for the safety of His Highness.

Speaking of this matter, Xie Changshi turned around and warned: "Guard Shen, the situation in Jiangnan is unclear now. There are still many followers of King Chu who have not exposed their identities, so you must be careful when buying food."

If the Mobei merchant gang buys too much grain, it will definitely attract the attention of the King of Chu. When he sends a letter to the Beidi Khan to start a war in advance, they will definitely be passive.

Gu Yuzhi nodded while listening to Xie Changshi's explanation: "Then if Jiang Ningqi can leave Quanzhou, someone must have tipped off the news."

He angrily said: "Prefect Ke, especially in Quanzhou, must be more careful when building granaries and storing grain."

Magistrate Ke also stood up: "I know."

Gu Yuzhi then waved his hand and motioned for them to sit down: "Not only do you have to be careful not to expose the news when buying these things, but also, we can't show that we know that Brother Chu has a tendency to collaborate with the enemy, otherwise I'm afraid that Brother Chu will be very serious." It may cause us trouble in purchasing food."

Although Huizhou is controlled by Prince Qi, Huizhou belongs to Jiangnan, and Brother Chu Wang is the one who can really call the shots in Jiangnan. Prince Qi will be restrained by Brother Chu when he does many things.

Gu Yuzhi just thought this and suddenly exclaimed: "Xie Changshi, since Brother Chu Wang sent people to Beidi, will he take action against the Crown Prince Qi?"

"Last time, the guards..."

He stuck out his tongue and quickly changed his words: "Qi Xianfeng said that Prince Qi's situation in Huizhou is particularly bad. There are no servants in the mansion, only guards. Even when he travels, he is surrounded by guards."

He thought that his situation in Mobei was not good before. Compared with Prince Qi, his life was really safe and happy!
Xie Changshi frowned and said, "I have already sent a letter to the emperor after I found out that Jiang Ningqi fled to Beidi. I believe that after the emperor receives the letter, he will arrange someone to protect Prince Qi as soon as possible."

Speaking of delivering the letter, Shu Xiaohan, who had been silent all this time, finally smiled a little: "It's the little prince's good luck that he saved a wolf in Xue Ye and was recognized by the entire wolf clan in Mobei. Xue Ye also gave you a wolf." Raptor.”

Mentioning the raptor, Gu Yuzhi pursed his lips and smiled.

Not two days after returning from Jingxiang last time, he saw the black kite at the door of the temporary station. The black kite was very close to him and even took Xue Ye's favorite fruit hidden under its wings. come out.

Only then did he realize that Hei Yuan was actually found by Xue Ye to accompany him.

With Black Kite, the communication between them and the emperor no longer needs to go through the escort agency. The speed is too slow, making such emergency news communication really inconvenient.

But the black kite is different. It flies in the air much faster than a horse can cross mountains. The journey that originally took ten days and a half now only takes a few days. However, this is the first time Hei Yuan has sent a message, and he doesn't know if the guards in the palace will find it, or if the imperial brother will believe it.

When Shu Xiaohan saw Gu Yuzhi like this, he understood his worries and whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry. The black kite is small in size and it is difficult for ordinary people to detect its whereabouts. Besides, the black kite is very smart and can use tools to hunt. It doesn't You’ll get caught easily.”

Gu Yuzhi puffed up his face. Even if he was caught, there was no other way.

Wait two more days, if it's the Black Kite...

Just as Gu Yuzhi was thinking this, he saw the door of the meeting hall suddenly pushed open, and a black shadow fluttered in and landed lightly on his shoulder.

He said in surprise: "Hei Yuan, you are back!"

Black Yuan rubbed her face against Gu Yuzhi's, and gently touched his clothes to show her closeness. Then she flew to the square table next to her and chirped twice to indicate that she had something on her lap.

Gu Yuzhi's eyes lit up: "It's Brother Huang who has replied!"

Xie Changshi hurriedly stepped forward to untie the note, but Hei Yuan was very defensive. Apart from Gu Yuzhi, it didn't want to get close to anyone, so it lowered its head and tried to slap Xie Changshi's extended hand.

Gu Yuzhi exclaimed: "Xie Changshi, be careful!"

He rushed forward to hug the black kite, but saw the black kite fluttering its wings and flying up.

It didn't thank Chang Shi, but its sharp eyes stared at him, as if to say, if you dare to reach out to me again, I will really blame you.

Xie Changshi was also frightened and broke into a cold sweat. If Hei Yuan really said this, he would probably poke holes in his hands.

The word raptor is no joke.

After the black kite landed on the square table again, Gu Yuzhi gently nodded its head and discussed angrily: "Black kite, you can't do this to Xie Changshi and the others."

Hei Yuan tilted her head to look at him and chirped twice. Gu Yuzhi didn't know whether he understood or not, but he just assumed he understood.

He touched Hei Yuan's head and said, "You're so good. Now I want to get the letter the emperor gave me."

Black Kite stood still, obediently waiting for him to untie the rope.

Gu Yuzhi opened the letter and glanced at it, then pouted in dissatisfaction and handed the note to Xie Changshi: "Brother Huang is as concise as ever."

Xie Changshi took it and looked at it. There were only two words on it, "I have read it."

He puffed up his face and said, "Huh, if the emperor doesn't talk to me more next time he writes a letter, I won't write to him alone in the future!"

Anyway, the emperor's wives love him very much, and he is rich now. Apart from the potential threat of Beidi, he has no other worries.

Xie Changshi breathed a sigh of relief: "With the emperor's arrangements, there will definitely be no problems with Prince Qi. Your Highness can rest assured."

Gu Yuzhi snorted, poked Hei Yuan's head and said, just as he was about to ask Hei Yuan to go to the back kitchen to find Nanny Xu for food, Hei Yuan fluttered her wings and flew out. (End of chapter)
