Xie Rui's confidant looked at the contents of the letter and was puzzled.

"I can understand that His Highness wants food. If you want pigs, cattle and sheep, His Highness wants something good to eat, but this requires fabric, a loom, and grain seeds... Hey, why does it look wrong?"

Those who can become the royal family's cronies are not stupid, and when they think about Liang for a while, they feel that something is wrong.

"Could it be that His Highness is in trouble over there?"

What troubles need to be solved by grain seeds?

But just in case, the cronies still decided to make two preparations. They immediately sent people to the Northern Wilderness to investigate Xie Rui's situation. We will definitely deliver everything we need to the designated place within the designated time.

It is not difficult for Xie Rui, as the great prince of the Jin Kingdom, to prepare those things, and everything was ready on the third day.

Xie Rui wrote in that he was asked to deliver everything to the entrance of the Northern Wilderness in five days.

"Is there no news from the people sent to the Northern Wilderness yet?"

"My lord, the Northern Wilderness is very dangerous, I'm afraid it won't be so fast."

Mr. Wang was pacing back and forth in the room a little anxiously. He always felt that Xie Rui's letter came too weird. It was not like this when Xie Rui asked for supplies before. He would not write for such a trivial matter, but that letter The letter was indeed in his handwriting.

"My lord, there is no need to be so alarmed. The Northern Wilderness is just a group of barbarians. Last time we almost took their lives and they did nothing. They know the identity of His Highness, and they are afraid of offending Jin, so they definitely dare not act rashly."

Mr. Wang thought so before, but he was very disturbed.

The eldest prince sneaked out this time, and the empress didn't know the situation yet, so he hesitated whether to report the matter to the empress, or if something really happened, they wouldn't have to live.

In a blink of an eye, the appointed time came, and Mr. Wang personally brought the supplies to the designated place.

Qiao Yang had already waited there with someone.

When Mr. Wang and the others approached, Qiao Yang looked up and down a lot.

"You are Lord Wang?"

Mr. Wang had never met Qiao Yang before, and doubts flashed in his eyes, "Your Excellency is..."

"I am called by His Royal Highness to meet you, have you brought everything?"

Mr. Wang saw that he was full of aura, and he didn't look guilty at all, and he was a little puzzled for a while, "Everything is prepared according to His Highness's request. I don't know how His Highness is over there. Is there any progress?"

Qiao Yang laughed, but this smile seemed a bit harsh to Mr. Wang, "He is doing well, eating well, sleeping well, and he doesn't have to worry about the mine. You go and count things."

"yes."

Several people stepped forward to check the goods on the car.

Mr. Wang felt more and more that they were robbers.

"What did this little brother do next to His Highness before, it seems a bit unfamiliar."

Qiao Yang smiled uncontrollably: "You see, it's normal for me to be unfamiliar. I usually don't appear in front of him."

The uneasiness in Mr. Wang's heart became stronger, but Qiao Yang didn't dare to force it due to the large number of people, "Your Highness has been out for so long, and your majesty has been worried. Please tell me your majesty, and your majesty will find a way to come back before the end of the month." Go to the palace, don't spoil other more important things."

Lord Wang's words were nothing more than a hint, to remind Qiao Yang that Xie Rui's backing to the royal family of the Jin Kingdom is definitely not something to be messed with, but Qiao Yang doesn't like this.

"My lord, everything is fine."

At this time, the person who went to check the goods came back.

These words deepened the smile on Qiao Yang's face, "I have to send the things to His Highness as soon as I get them, so you can go back first."

Seeing that Qiao Yang was about to leave, Lord Wang hurried forward to stop him and said, "I don't know if His Highness will have enough people there, but I just brought a few more people here today, let them go back to help His Highness."

Qiao Yang raised his head and glanced at those people. He was not stupid, how could he fail to see the suspicion in Mr. Wang's eyes, there were only a few people, and they had to obediently work as coolies in the city of Tiankui.

"Okay, let them follow in the team."

Seeing Qiao Yang's agreement, Mr. Wang's doubts were not dispelled. He only hoped that these people could pass the news back to him as soon as possible after they entered.

Mr. Wang walked back anxiously, but bumped into the person who was sent to inquire about the news a few days ago.

"My lord, my lord, something is wrong."

Master Wang's face changed slightly, "What's wrong?"

"The younger ones met people from the southern country when they went to the Northern Wilderness to inquire about news. They said that the barbarians in the Northern Wilderness suddenly attacked them and the eldest prince a few days ago, and they were caught off guard. They got it."

Lord Wang's face was pale, and he clenched his hand, "You said the eldest prince was arrested?"

"Yes, my lord, let's quickly find a way to rescue the eldest prince. If the empress finds out that such a big incident happened to the eldest prince, we don't even want to live."

Master Wang fell to the ground, but when he thought of the message Xie Rui sent him, he forced himself to calm down again.

Those people probably want to use the First Prince to get more things that are beneficial to them, so the First Prince should not be in danger for his life for a while.

Although he was afraid, Mr. Wang had no choice but to report the situation of the eldest prince to his empress. The matter was beyond his control. Even if he was punished, he would not dare to hide it anymore.

Master Wang was jumping in a hurry, but Qiao Yang hummed happily all the way back to the city of Tiankui.

"Send all the things to the warehouse outside the palace and put them away. After the city lord comes back, ask the city lord to have a look."

"yes."

The Jin people who came back with Qiao Yang were caught and blindfolded by Qiao Yang and the others before they entered the city, and they were thrown directly into the dungeon.

On the other side, Su Yu was leading people to work in the mine in full swing.

When she came, Xiao Jin selected for her a lot of people who were very experienced in mining and mining. In order not to arouse suspicion from others, those people dressed as officers and soldiers and mixed in the ranks of officers and soldiers.

On the second day after they arrived in Tiankui City, Su Yu brought them here.

After surveying, they guessed that there may be a lot of iron ore in this mine, and it is a rare and large mine.

Mining requires digging wells. They don't have reinforced concrete, so they can cut wood and use them to fix the dug mine shafts to prevent them from collapsing.

Su Yu asked all the officers and soldiers from Chu State to help the mine, and assigned personnel to guard at each point. There were also three teams patrolling non-stop for 12 hours, just because they were afraid of being disturbed at the critical moment of mining and affecting the process.

"City Master, you've been tired all morning, and it's almost noon, why don't you eat something first?"

Doing things in winter consumes more energy. Su Yu stood outside the mine for so long, his face was flushed by the mountain wind.
