Ye Qing's face was gloomy like water, he looked at Gao Shun, and said softly: "General, he is chasing and killing an official from Jiangnan!" ”

"Official?"

Gao Shun's face was stunned, and he asked in surprise, "Why?" ”

"It seems that we don't want the official to enter Beijing, and we saw the official messenger's document, saying that there was a locust plague in Nanyuan Mansion, and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were gnawed away!"

Gao Shun's face suddenly turned pale, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is the news exact?" ”

"That's what the paperwork says!"

"Where is that clerk now?"

"I've been brought back by Qilin'er!"

Gao Shun bowed slightly, and was about to look for the corpse of the official, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves, and Ye Qing on the side smiled and said, "It's Su Qilin who is here with the forbidden army!" ”

"Hmm!"

Gao Shun bowed his head slightly, and looked at a centurion beside him, "You take people to find that official errand, you want to see people alive, and corpses when you die, in addition, send scouts to check the number of officials along the various post stations to the south of the Yangtze River!" ”

"No!"

Dozens of figures led the order away, and Su Qilin also led people to arrive, and saw that Ye Qing and the Zhao family brothers were safe and sound, but they had suffered some skin injuries, and they breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts!

"Qilin'er, where is Zhao Wen?"

Su Qilin squeezed out a smile on his face, and said softly: "Xiaowen has been sent to the hospital for treatment, there are Doctor Hua and Doctor Zhang, don't worry!" ”

"How are you two?" Su Qilin walked in front of Ye Qing, uncovered his broken clothes, and suddenly an anger appeared: "What about the man in black? ”

"Ran!"

Ye Qing's face showed a hint of helplessness, and said with a wry smile: "That man's archery skills are extraordinary, and his strength is superb, if he wants to leave, we can't keep him, if it weren't for General Gao who happened to return to Beijing, our brothers would have explained here this time!" ”

Su Qilin's face was very gloomy, and he was also holding back the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I must find him!" ”

Gao Shun stepped forward and said softly, "I heard Ye Qing say that the document is in your hand?" ”

Su Qilin bowed slightly, took out the blood-stained document from his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Here!" ”

Gao Shun nodded and said solemnly: "This matter is very important, it is better to report it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible, and let him present it to the Imperial Majesty, so that His Majesty can make a holy judgment!" ”

"Hmm!" Su Qilin sighed lightly: "If it's really as this document says, it's terrible!" ”

……

As soon as the group of people walked to the gate of the city, they saw two people and two horses rushing out, it was Luo Chen and Yu Yao who rushed to hear the news, and they were relieved to see that a few people were safe and sound!

Luo Chen got off the horse, his eyes fell on Ye Qing, and he didn't move!

"Are you alright?"

"It's fine!" Ye Qing grinned and glanced at Su Qilin, who hurriedly took out the document from his arms and gave it to Luo Chen: "Second brother, look at this!" ”

Luo Chen saw the bloodstains on the paperwork, his pupils shrank, and he took it and opened it to check it!

"Back to the city!"

Luo Chen quietly put away the paperwork and glanced at Yu Yao, who walked directly towards the frightened Mo Qingwu, and said to Su Qilin and the others: "A few of you follow me into the palace!" ”

"No!"

After Luo Chen got on the horse, his eyes swept around and looked at Ye Qing: "Qingzi, you go to the hospital to deal with your injuries, and take a look at Zhao Wen by the way!" ”

"No!"

……

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several little grandfathers are asking to see you!"

Gao Ming smiled and said to Emperor Xia, who was reviewing the folds.

"Oh?" After Emperor Xia stopped writing, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a hint of banter in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "It's rare for these little bastards to come alone!" ”

"Let them in!"

Xia Huang put down the pen in his hand and put on a more comfortable posture, with a hint of tiredness on his face!

"Your Majesty, it seems that something has happened this time!"

Gao Ming reminded him slightly, and then said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the little grandfather are here!" ”

Luo Chen was the first to walk into the imperial study, followed by Su Qilin and Zhao Wu!

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"See Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia's gaze fell on Su Qilin and the others, and his face suddenly froze, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Chen got up slowly, took out a document from his arms, and said in a low voice: "Father, there was a locust plague in Nanyuan Mansion in Jiangnan, and the county guard sent officials to Beijing, but I didn't expect to be intercepted and killed on the road, but fortunately I was bumped into by a few Qilin, and Zhao Wen and Ye Qing were also injured!" ”

Emperor Xia's face was instantly gloomy like water, and he asked in a deep voice, "Where are Zhao Wen and Ye Qing now?" ”

"Get treated in the hospital!"

"Hmm!"

Emperor Xia bowed slightly, took the document and saw a trace of blood on it, and his face showed a trace of coldness.

Luo Chen continued: "This document was desperately kept by that official, and the person was also killed!" ”

Emperor Xia's eyes were completely on the document, his face was cloudy, and he said lightly: "Gao Ming, the heavenly bell rings five times, summon the ministers to come to discuss the matter!" ”

Gao Ming's face showed a hint of surprise, it turned out to be five heavenly bells, because of the locust plague?

Luo Chen said in a deep voice: "Father, this matter should be decided as soon as possible!" ”

Emperor Xia was silent, his eyes were extremely deep, and after a long time, he said softly: "Someone! ”

"In!"

Lin Jinnan quickly walked into the hall and saluted respectfully, and Emperor Xia said in a deep voice: "Immediately send the Beijing scout camp, hurry up, and go to Nanyuan Mansion to investigate the locust situation, and within three days, I want to get accurate information!" ”

When Lin Jinnan heard the word locust, his face was immediately stunned, and he nodded without hesitation: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Watching Lin Jinnan stride away, Luo Chen's face showed a look of worry: "Father, if it is really as stated in the documents, this locust situation is an unprecedented horror, and this is still information from two days ago. ”

"Now, although only two days have passed, the multiplication of locusts is really terrifying, if you wait another three days to make a decision, I am afraid it will be too late!"

Emperor Xia had a calm face and asked softly, "In your opinion, what should I do?" ”

Luo Chen groaned for a moment and said softly: "Father, now that the locusts have spread, the top priority should be to reduce the losses as much as possible!" ”

"Now that the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, the dealer has not yet grown, as long as the locusts can be wiped out, the sons can ensure that the people will not run out of food!"

Hearing Luo Chen's resolute words, Emperor Xia was suddenly slightly surprised, and then said with a serious face: "There is no room for jokes in this matter!" ”

"Once the locusts spread in the south of the Yangtze River, my Great Xia will definitely face an unprecedented calamity, not just a lack of food!"

Looking at Emperor Xia's solemn expression, Luo Chen also looked solemn: "Erchen naturally knows the priorities!" ”

Emperor Xia sighed lightly, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "If it is a small-scale locust, it is possible to send an army to hunt and kill it, and it is possible to contain it, but such a large-scale locust plague, don't say that it is my Great Xia, I am afraid that it is unprecedented in the Central Plains!" ”
