It's another day, and early in the morning, Yuhime came over with a food box. Xia Hongsheng had already gotten up and finished washing, and was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. After Youji came in, she didn't come forward to disturb, she stood aside with a food box and watched Xia Hongsheng play Tai Chi with a smile, the smile on her face looked happy and satisfied, if it was seen by someone who didn't know, she would definitely think that it was a couple who respected each other, the husband boxed, and the wife watched tenderly beside him.

waited until Xia Hongsheng stopped after the fight, and then You Ji stepped forward with a smile, took the towel from the maid's hand and handed it over, and said, "What kind of boxing method did the son fight just now?" The concubine looks at it, this fist method secretly combines the number of seven stars and gossip, yin and yang are combined, hugging the yuan and keeping one, there are many Taoist things in it, and the movements are extremely slow and comfortable. ”

"This is called Tai Chi, which is specially used for self-cultivation, calming the mind, and strengthening the body, but it cannot be used for fighting." Xia Hongsheng explained to Youji with a smile. It is true that the Tai Chi he knows cannot be used for fighting, but the movements have been modified to be more inclined to exercise, and there are many differences between the things in the college physical education class and the real Tai Chi.

You Ji smiled and nodded: "The concubine body thinks the same, the movement is so slow, wouldn't it be too much of a loss to fight." ”

"Although it cannot be used for fighting, this punch is used to strengthen the body, and if you stick to it every day, you can prolong your life." Xia Hongsheng smiled again: "Like a girl and a person who needs to spend brain power all day long, practicing this boxing is the most suitable, which can cultivate the mind, relax the mind, calm the mind, and enhance the physique. If the girl doesn't like it, you can teach it to the girl. ”

"The concubine is willing to learn, thank you son!" Yuhime's eyes lit up, and she smiled happily, and the two of them had already arrived at the stone table in the courtyard as she spoke. You Ji opened the food box and said: "The concubine needs to go out today, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back until the evening, so I got up early and cooked porridge for my son, and asked my son to also taste the craftsmanship of the concubine." ”

"Oh?" Xia Hongsheng made a look of great surprise. immediately smiled, and hurriedly took out the bowl by himself: "Fortunately, I even have to cook porridge by the girl!" Well, the smell of the aroma is tangy, and it makes people's appetite move! ”

After speaking. Xia Hongsheng scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and immediately nodded again and again, full of praise.

After drinking the porridge, Xia Hongsheng put down the bowl, looked at the opposite side of the table crawling on the table with his cheeks propped up and looking at him with a smile, a lazy style spread between a smile and a smile, always Xia Hongsheng has always been on guard, but at that moment he was still provoked by the lazy style that was revealed and his heart beat a few times.

"Miss Youji, there seems to be a sad look between your eyebrows, but what trouble has happened?" Xia Hongsheng withdrew his gaze from Youji's face. Then he asked, "Haven't those people explained where the things were hidden?" ”

Hearing Xia Hongsheng's question, Youji sat up straight, shook her head, and said, "Really...... I didn't want Childe to worry about it, but I didn't want to be seen by Childe. It's not because of those few people, Gongzi's method is very useful, those people are now full of loopholes, the middle two have been recruited, and only the last one is left, so there is no need to worry about the concubine. The concubine is worried about something else......"

While talking. But suddenly he heard a noise, and the sound fluttered and pulled, as if something was flying in the sky. Youji stopped talking and looked up with Xia Hongsheng. I heard that the sound was rapidly getting louder, and it sounded like a flock of birds flapping its wings, rapidly approaching from a distance.

Suddenly, a black oppressive thing suddenly appeared in the field of vision, like a thick black smoke from the distant sky, and the two of them approached with the large black thing. The sound of wings flapping was even more intense. The black pressure of a large piece of pressure flew rapidly in the air, and in the meantime, it also frequently changed directions, scurrying back and forth in the air. In an instant, it flew into the sky above the courtyard, and the surrounding area was suddenly overshadowed, and the entire sky above his head was occupied by the black oppression!

"Locust God! The locust god has fallen! The maid was suddenly frightened for a moment as if she remembered something, her face turned pale suddenly, and the bowl and spoon in her hand fell to the ground with a shudder of her hand, and fell to pieces. But Xia Hongsheng and Youji didn't care about the sound of the bowl breaking, they were stunned by the black pressure covering the sky and the sun above their heads.

That smoky thing was actually made up of locusts! Countless locusts gathered together and flew through the air, and the huge sound made by flapping their wings was like a torrential wind, and countless locusts flew over the heads of Xia Hongsheng and others, and it seemed that only the dense locusts were left between the whole world and the earth, overwhelmingly slashing their heads and covering their faces!

"Come inside!" Xia Hongsheng was the first to react, and with one hand he grabbed a stunned person and rushed into the house. The locusts behind him had already arrived, and Xia Hongsheng could feel the force of those locusts hitting his back. Being dragged by Xia Hongsheng like this, Youji and the maid reacted and rushed to the house with Xia Hongsheng.

Rushing to the door, Xia Hongsheng immediately pushed Youji and the maidservant into first, and closed the door hard behind him, only to hear the crackling sound outside, which was made by those locusts hitting the door.

As soon as he turned around and plugged in the door bolt, Xia Hongsheng immediately ran to the window and lowered the window, only to hear a dense crash sound like a torrential rain outside, and hit the window paper one by one.

"Bring the book!" Xia Hongsheng looked at the window paper, cracked it and shouted. You Ji and the maid immediately took the book over, Xia Hongsheng immediately pressed the book on the window, the window paper outside was broken by the dense locusts, and flew in one by one, Xia Hongsheng hurriedly used the book to block, You Ji and the maid hurriedly came over to help, several people hurriedly used the book to hold down behind the window paper, and after a while, they listened to the sound outside gradually moving away, and after a while, there was no more sound.

Xia Hongsheng let go of the book, and a few locusts jumped in when he landed, and Xia Hongsheng trampled to death on the ground with a few feet.

Xia Hongsheng walked to the door, opened the door again, and saw that there were still many swarms of locusts outside the door, so he immediately picked up the broom that he was leaning on the side of the door, and slapped it the ground, slapping the swarm of locusts to death, and then frowned, looking at the black pressure that flew into the distance with a grim expression.

Locusts!

Xia Hongsheng's heart was beating wildly, his breathing became heavy, and his heart swelled with solemnity. Damn it! In the second year of Zhenguan, there was a drought in Beijing, and locusts rose greatly...... The story of Tang Taizong's locust swallowing has been heard countless times in later generations, and he has also told people that Li Laoer's show can be given ten points, how can he travel back to the Tang Dynasty and forget it!

A locust plague will cause a series of serious consequences, especially when there are no effective methods to eliminate the locust plague such as pesticides and natural enemies, and when various technologies are seriously backward, it will cause a series of disasters. Once a locust plague occurs, a large number of locusts will devour the fields, and they do not know how much grain will be eaten by the locusts, so that the agricultural products will be completely destroyed, causing serious economic losses and famine due to food shortages. Since last year, there has been a drought, and the grain harvest is not good, and at this time, a locust plague will kill people! And once there is a famine, it will inevitably be accompanied by a large number of people starving to death. A large number of people starved to death, resulting in countless corpses, which in turn would lead to an epidemic, and a major epidemic would be followed by a major epidemic, causing a series of social problems.

Worse still, it will create a deeper crisis that can destabilize or even destabilize the country.

Celestial induction!

Under the advocacy of the theory of heaven and man's induction, there is the theory of "transformation". The so-called restoration means that all disasters are providential, and they are God's punishment for the king's immorality. It is only through sacrificial prayers that one can turn the calamity and return to normal. In addition, the people are ignorant, and they don't know the reason for the locust plague, thinking that it is the locust god who has sent a disaster, and they only know how to worship, and sit back and watch the locusts eat the seedlings and dare not hunt and kill. The plague of locusts was allowed to run rampant, and the crops were eaten without harvest, and the people starved to death. In this case, the victims are very susceptible to incitement, and if they are induced by those who have the will, it is very easy for popular rebellions and rebellions to occur!

Looking back, I saw that although Yuhime was frightened, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Youji stepped forward with an excited and frightened expression, and said to Xia Hongsheng: "Childe just saw it?!" Li Shimin lost his morality, killed his brother, and forced his father to abdicate, so that if the locust god descends today, there will be a plague later, which is the will of God, punish Yusi! Does Childe continue to disobey the will of heaven and serve Li Shimin?! ”

Xia Hongsheng's mind was racing, and he felt that his thoughts had never been as fast as they were now, so he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, turned his head and said to Youji: "Youji, if there is a locust plague today, the people's hearts will be in turmoil, do you want to take the opportunity to collect the people's hearts and use them for you?!" If you want to, tell me and I'll help you! ”

Youji was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened, she nodded vigorously in surprise, and then bowed deeply: "Childe's plan is to plan the world, if Childe is willing to help us achieve great things, Youji is willing to stand by the side of Childe and see the heroic posture of Childe's wisdom in the world!" ”

"Don't thank me, I only help you, and I only be your staff." Xia Hongsheng shook his head: "There is a locust plague, there will definitely be hungry people, if you want to win people's hearts, this is the best time." ”

"Yes, the locust god is coming, and the hungry people are everywhere, if I give to the hungry people and collect the displaced people, I can put away the hearts of the people and use them for my use!" Yuhime nodded and said.

After speaking, he looked at Xia Hongsheng, but saw Xia Hongsheng with a contemptuous smile on his face, looked up at the place where the locust swarm flew over, and said, "If that's the case, why do you need me to make a move?" ”

Youji was stunned: "Childe thinks the concubine's method is inappropriate?" ”

Xia Hongsheng didn't answer, but he smiled with a sly smile: "Youji, tell me, are the people afraid of the locust god?" ”

"I'm afraid, I'm naturally afraid!" Yuhime nodded vigorously.

"And what if someone can get rid of it?" Xia Hongsheng laughed, turned his head to look at Youji, and then smiled contemptuously in the direction where the locust swarm flew away: "Youji, follow me to exterminate the locust!" (To be continued.) )
