Chapter 643: Joyful Farewell Banquet
"Count out all the dowry that the Phoenix Clan sent over."
"Nothing should be missing." Zhu Mo instructed the servants behind him.
The clam spirit shrank into its shell and asked sullenly, "Where is the companion pearl of the Phoenix Princess?"
“That’s the big one.”
Zhu Mo's face suddenly turned dark.
But what the clam spirit said was true, and he pursed his lips but could not refute it.
After everyone left, Zhu Mo took out a small wooden toy from his arms, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"I don't know whether Awu misses me, or whether the child is well-behaved..." Zhu Mo sighed softly.
The sky was full of red clouds, just like the scene of his wedding with the Phoenix Clan.
"The invitations have been sent out. I wonder how many immortals will be able to attend tomorrow. The fewer the better, at least we can save a little face." The Dragon King's eyelids twitched as he looked at the red silk hanging everywhere.
"Whose divorce is as grand as their wedding?"
Even the banquet standards are the same.
The Dragon King was humiliated.
But when I think of my soon-to-be-born grandson, I have no choice.
"We have really offended the Phoenix Clan. You must protect my grandson well! There must not be any mistakes!" The Dragon King reminded him again and again, saying that when the Dragon Lord is born in the future, it would not matter if he lost face now.
"Father, is there any treasure in the Dragon Palace that can prolong life?" Zhu Mo thought of A Wu and couldn't help but ask.
The Dragon King immediately jumped up and said, "What a treasure! When Lu Chaochao expelled us from the Dragon Palace, she took everything away from us."
"I live in a small house here now, and I don't know when I can move back."
Speaking of which, after Lu Chaochao died in sacrifice, the dragon clan actually moved back.
But when they heard that Lu Chaochao had been resurrected as a human, they secretly ran back.
Can't afford to offend.
Zhu Mo didn't say anything, just sighed softly: "I don't mind, but the life of mortals is short, and the dragon race takes 300 years to reach adulthood. It's too pitiful for the future dragon master to lose his mother in childhood."
The Dragon King gritted his teeth and looked at him hatefully: "Just protect that wild flower. If she wasn't pregnant with a dragon heir, I would never let her in."
"I think you are obsessed with wild flowers and even gave her the dragon horns."
But thinking of the little dragon master, who carried the hope of the entire dragon clan, the Dragon King did not dare to let him lose his mother.
"Go get the dragon crystal."
"The dragon clan really owes you."
When Zhu Mo heard this, he immediately went to open the warehouse door happily and did not hear the Dragon King's sigh at all.
"You will fall flat on your face sooner or later."
The Dragon Palace did not sleep tonight as everyone was busy preparing for the separation banquet the next day.
In the golden autumn of October, the crops are abundant and the air is filled with the strong fragrance of rice.
It was already late at night, but the Lianhua City Inn was still not closed.
The maid fanned the young master impatiently, trying to dispel the heat.
"I don't know what's going on with this damn weather. The only heavy rain this year was before we came to the Kingdom of Brahma. If it doesn't rain again, there will probably be a disaster." The grain production was not high to begin with. Even though Beizhao's tax revenue had been reduced again and again, the people still had little surplus grain at home and could barely fill their stomachs.
"I don't think the harvest will be great this autumn. I wonder how many more daughters will be sold." The maid sighed quietly in the corridor.
There was a drought this year, and the imperial court allocated grain funds several times, but it was just a drop in the bucket.
It was clearly late at night, but there was always a hint of red in the sky, as if symbolizing some ominous sign.
Ah Man paced back and forth anxiously: "I don't feel very well."
I drank several glasses of cold water every morning and felt a strange feeling in my heart, as if there was a fire burning.
"It's strange, it seems particularly hot today, and there seems to be a fire burning in my heart." It's already autumn, but the heat today is particularly wrong.
"Oh, there's a snake..." a scream came from the outer yard.
"Oh no, a lot of snakes, insects, rats and ants have crawled out, it's scary..." There was a lot of noise outside, and the guards were leading people to drive them away.
It was already evening. Zhuifeng was holding a sword, wearing all black and frowning.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a dense buzzing sound in my ears.
Just as Lu Chaochao was about to open the window, she heard the maidservant say in horror: "Don't open the window, Princess, don't open the window! Don't open it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard buzzing sounds coming from all directions.
Like raindrops, they fell on the window, shining through with light and instantly covering the window. Looking at the only transparent glazed tile above my head, I found it was covered tightly.
"It's locusts!!"
"There's a locust plague. How could there be a locust plague?"
"Now is the autumn harvest time. There is already a drought this year. What shall we do if there is another locust plague?" The maid looked pale, she just didn't know how large the area of the locust plague was.
The buzzing sound lingered for a long time. Lu Chaochao raised his sword and pushed the door open.
"Princess!" the maid exclaimed.
Before anyone could stop him, Lu Chaochao turned around and closed the door.
All I could see were locusts everywhere.
She had never seen such large locusts, covering the sky and even the moonlight.
The green grass and the big trees with lush branches and leaves became bare in an instant.
It wasn't even Lu Chaochao's turn to drive them away. In just a moment, everything disappeared.
In the blink of an eye, it flew away.
Leaving behind devastation.
In the distance, there were cries, and then cries came from all directions.
"Oh my God, there's already a drought this year, and now there's a locust plague. You're going to kill us!" Miserable cries were heard all along the long street.
Everyone can imagine that the farmland may not yield any harvest.
The lights in Lianhua City were on all night, and everyone was busy comforting the people while sending people out to investigate.
The news came back when it was getting light.
But it is more serious than people imagine.
"It's not just Lotus City. All the countries have suffered from a large-scale locust disaster. All the way north, the locusts passed through the borders and there was no harvest."
"The imperial court has opened its granaries to provide disaster relief, and the various noble families are also supporting the victims."
For a moment, people were in panic.
The mortal world was in great turmoil, and the Dragon Palace was also in agony at this moment.
Before daybreak, auspicious signs appeared in the sky above the Dragon Palace. Divine light transformed into flower petals fell from the sky, and dragons and phoenixes entwined in the sky. The rainbow builds a colorful bridge in the sky, and the fish jump happily on the water.
What a lively scene.
The fairy music is lingering, it is really festive.
A banquet had been set up in the Dragon Palace, and the Dragon King, with a bitter face, was greeting the immortals at the door. Smiling on the surface, but cursing in the heart, no, how come there are more people at the divorce banquet than at the wedding banquet? ? ?
The Dragon King was surprised and muttered, "This doesn't make sense!"
"At the wedding, we only invited the immortals above the third heaven. We prepared 36 tables for the banquet, but some of them were in seclusion, and some were traveling, so only less than 30 tables came."
"Why are all the seats full today?!" And it's not even time yet! !
Prime Minister Turtle behind him said silently: "Your Majesty, five more tables have been added."
People haven't gathered yet!
"No, isn't he traveling?"
“And him, wasn’t he in seclusion last time?!” The Dragon King’s eyes were bloodshot!
