Chapter 106: There is no hope for the locust plague, and there is no hope for the Heavenly Family either (Thank you for your support, more updates~)
"That's right, Miss Xie can cure the locust plague." The prince said affirmatively.
All officials lowered their heads and looked down.
[This is outrageous]
[I heard that the prince was kind, but I didn't expect him to be so foolish and be played around by a little girl]
[Prince Xi is unfaithful, the Crown Prince is stupid]
[There is no hope for the locust plague, and there is no hope for the heavenly family either]
[These royal family members never cared about the lives of the people, they only cared about fighting for power and profit]
Xie Yanyan looked at the crowd. The officials had gloomy expressions, some frowned, some were disdainful, and some were mourning.
Zhou Shaoyu got annoyed and kicked the table next to him.
"Why, Your Highness, you traveled thousands of miles across mountains and rivers just to see your faces?"
"Miss Xie has special skills, you don't accept it? You don't have to accept it, whoever can do it can do it! This prince will watch you treat it. If you can't, then eat all the locusts!"
The prince's face was also very dull: "Jingchen is right, who can cure it? Stand up and tell me, I will reward you handsomely."
Yu Shanhe and all the officials knelt down and said, "I dare not."
"Who are you showing your face to?"
Just as the stalemate was happening, a guard ran in and whispered something in Yu Shanhe's ear.
Yu Shanhe nodded and told him to go down first: "Arrange for someone to go to the post station and rest first."
The man went out, and Yushanhe said that King Xi and his entourage had arrived.
The prince's face suddenly looked very ugly.
He climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, working day and night, but he was still slower than King Xi.
Zhou Shaoyu stood beside him and said, "Your Highness, this is a good idea. We can treat the locust plague together and he can give it a try. The locust plague affects a large area, so it will be faster if we treat it separately."
[Govern separately, the contrast is obvious, let the people see who is immoral]
The prince looked at Xie Yanyan, and Xie Yanyan said, "I follow the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Well, take King Xi and other people of integrity to the disaster area."
"Your Highness has just arrived. Why don't you take a rest and have a meal before setting off?"
"Treat the disaster first."
The prince originally intended to call King Xi to discuss how to control the locusts. He did not want to compete with King Xi. The people were suffering from the disaster, and he had to solve the problem quickly.
King Xi did not come to see him. King Xi's personal guard Xisi came to see the prince and said that King Xi accidentally fell into the water while crossing the river at Sha'an, drowned and had a fever, and has not recovered yet. He was afraid that the disease would be passed on to the prince, so he did not come.
But he said that King Xi had already found a way to cure the locust plague and was willing to work together with the crown prince to relieve the people's distress as soon as possible.
The prince knew that King Xi had obtained the method to cure disasters, and he was afraid that the credit would be taken away by him. He also wanted to surpass him and lose the support of the people.
He is such a good royal brother that he doesn't care even if the people die, he only thinks about seizing the throne.
Without waiting, rush to the front line of the locust plague in Jingchuan County.
This is the place where locusts must pass and the center line of the locust swarm's movement.
Despite his tiredness, the prince said to Xie Yanyan apologetically, "Miss Xie, I'm sorry for making you tired."
Xie Yanyan shook his head and said sincerely: “Your Highness is more tired.”
"Miss Xie, what do you need me to do?" Yu Shanhe didn't believe Xie Yanyan from the bottom of his heart, but she was invited by the prince, so he had to give her enough face.
We are about to go to the locust plague site, but the little girl in front of us has nothing in her hands. Is she going to eat the locusts with her mouth?
Xie Yanyan heard his thoughts without even raising his eyelids, and said, "Since you are dealing with the locust plague separately from King Xi, then you should clearly mark the specific boundaries for me, such as a certain village or a certain road."
She didn’t treat even a single locust after she crossed the border.
When Yu Shanhe heard this request, he was stunned for a moment, and then became a little annoyed.
[The prince is kind, but easily deceived]
[This woman surnamed Xie is not very capable, but she is good at palace fighting]
Xie Yanyan was impatient, and his face became even colder: “If Master Yu doesn’t believe me, I will leave immediately.”
The prince said sternly, "Master Yu, do you not believe me?"
Yu Shanhe felt like he was caught for a moment, but he didn't say anything?!
Hurry up and plead guilty to the prince and apologize to Xie Yanyan.
"When can we get to Jing County?" Xie Yanyan asked.
"If it's quick, tomorrow afternoon."
"Can you determine the border? If not, let His Highness point it out to me!"
Yu Shanhe nodded immediately: "Yes."
"Also, when I deal with the locust plague, no one can be present. All the people must stay at home, including all of you officials. You are not allowed to observe."
"Miss Xie used poison? Will it endanger the people in the future?"
"Won't."
"Okay." Yu Shanhe said seriously, "Then when is Miss Xie going to make her move?"
"Tomorrow night."
Upon hearing that the locust control would begin tomorrow night, Yu Shanhe suddenly became serious. If she was a liar, it would be clear tomorrow night.
"You must immediately tell the people in the disaster area to close their doors and windows starting at 3 p.m. tomorrow. I will start the treatment the moment I receive the notification."
"Okay." Yu Shanhe immediately said to his followers, "Immediately inform the county magistrates of Changwu County, Jingchuan County, and Pingliang County, and notify all the people as quickly as possible. From 3:00 pm tomorrow, all doors and windows must be closed and no one is allowed to go out. Anyone who interferes with the locust control will be punished by this official."
The prince was also very nervous. If Xie Yanyan could cure the disease, he would not fail the emperor's mission; if Xie Yanyan could not cure the disease, he would be taking a huge gamble this time, as he would lose not only his father's trust, but also the people's support.
The Crown Prince and his entourage rushed to Jingchuan, and King Xi and his entourage also rushed to Jingchuan. After leaving Chang'an, passing Xianyang, and arriving at the border of Changwu County, they found that the road was in a panic and countless people were crying.
The locusts moved east again! The swarms pressed down on Jingchuan and Changwu counties, and they migrated together every three to five days. During these three days, they destroyed all the local plants and laid eggs.
When we arrived in Changwu County, we heard rustling sounds in the fields and woods, and we could clearly see swarms of locusts in all shapes and colors.
This is just the beginning.
The common people were beating it with brooms.
They entered the Changwu County Government Office. County Magistrate Wang had a sad face. When he saw Yushanhe, he was about to ask what to do.
Yushanhe told him that the prince had arrived.
County Magistrate Wang knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.
The prince gently helped him up and said, "I am with you, and we will fight the locust plague together."
In the government office, Xie Yanyan met the groups of people who came from Xiangyang again.
King Xi, Taoist priests, and a group of strange people from the folk.
Prince Xi got off the carriage, his face covered with a scarf, and bowed respectfully to the crown prince: "Your Highness, you have worked hard on the journey."
The prince nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Prince Xi."
Xie Yanyan glanced at King Xi. There were only a few guards with names prefixed with "Xi" beside him, but Wang Zhen, the strategist, was not standing there.
At just one glance, she could tell something was wrong.
Although Prince Xi was sick and his face was pale, she felt something was wrong.
She used her spiritual power to look through his veil and saw that the face was indeed that of King Xi.
The group of Taoists bowed respectfully to the prince again.
County Magistrate Wang was originally at a loss as to what to do, but now with so many talented people suddenly arriving at once, he didn't know what to do with them.
"Miss Xie, Prince Zhou, how are you?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Xie Yanyan knew who was coming.
