Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.
Chapter 110: 16, my old swan
"King Xi" is none other than King Xi's personal bodyguard Xi Twelve.
When the princes were choosing bodyguards and secret guards, he took a fancy to Xi Twelve. Not only did he look a lot like him, he also had a calm temperament.
He ranked him 12th and called it Xi Twelve, which is homophonic to Xishier.
auspicious.
Over the years, he has been deliberately training Xi Twelve to imitate himself so that he can serve as a substitute at critical moments.
King Xi's coming to the northwest was just a pretense. If Xie Yanyan didn't make him fall into the water, he would have found an excuse to leave.
Because Xi Twelve has been waiting in Chang'an for a long time.
He and Wang Zhen went straight to Kyoto, while Xisi took Xie Xiangxiang and headed north quickly, leaving Hanguan and running all the way to the disaster area.
I just didn't expect that the method of treating locusts with medicinal powder is very strong in theory, but it doesn't work in practice.
Xie Xiangxiang sat in the outer courtyard arranged by the military governor, saying nothing. The injury on her neck had never healed, it was very painful, and her eyes were blurry.
What hurts more than my neck is my heart, which is anxious and restless.
The government strictly prohibited people from going out, and she didn't know what happened. Xisi was sent by her to find out the news and see how the prince could exterminate the locusts.
She had been waiting in the yard all day and night.
"Madam, don't be too anxious. Wang Zhen said that no one has been able to eliminate the locust plague since ancient times. But just wait until they pass and fend for themselves." Xing'er, the maid next to her, advised.
Seeing that Xie Xiangxiang's family had been furiously attacking the people who were poisoned to death yesterday morning, they had not said a word all day and night, and felt sympathy in their hearts, and comforted them: "We can't eliminate it, and others may not be able to eliminate it either."
That said, what if the prince eliminates the locust plague? Xie Xiangxiang didn't say what he was thinking. Xie Yanyan was really different from what he remembered.
If he can be reborn, will Xie Yanyan be reborn too?
No, if she could be reborn, she would not hug the prince's lap, nor would she hug the long-dead Zhou Shaoyu's lap.
But what happened? Not a damn person is dead, and they even formed an alliance inexplicably!
"Mrs. Xiang." Xi Si went out for a day and a night before returning. The expression on his face showed that the prince succeeded.
"Xisi, what's going on?"
"The prince killed the locusts!" Xisi said frustratedly, "I don't know how. I went out yesterday afternoon and accidentally bumped into Prince Zhou's horse outside the county government office. He refused to let me go and locked me up for a day. One night.”
He didn't even know what was going on, why he provoked the devil. He remembered that he had been stuck in the cellar all day and night with no one to care about him. It was hot and stuffy and there were many mosquitoes. As soon as he shouted, someone would throw him into the cellar. The burning charcoal was almost killing him in the summer.
Today, he was finally released. Prince Zhou said that he asked King Xi to accompany him with ten good horses. His horse was frightened by Xisi and fell ill!
Xie Xiangxiang dug his fingers into his palms, but still asked softly: "What happened to the locusts? What news did you find out?"
Xisi said that since the day before yesterday at Unity Time, until now, in one day and night, all locusts from Jingchuan to more than 10 counties in the northwest have disappeared, large and small.
"Impossible! Come on, let's go take a look."
Xie Xiangxiang didn't believe it, how could it be possible to wipe out everyone.
When the carriage went out, Xie Xiangxiang still covered his face.
As soon as they went out, they heard the sound of gongs being beaten all over the street.
All the government officials were dispatched and divided into several groups. Some were in the county town and some went to the countryside. They carried big gongs on their shoulders and shouted while beating: "Your Majesty, the crown prince has wiped out all the locusts. All the locusts were captured alive and piled up in Jingjing." Lake, if you raise chickens or ducks at home, you can get them for free.”
People everywhere on the street ran out in surprise and asked, "Are the locusts really gone?"
"It's really gone! I just looked and there's not a single locust left in the field."
"My husband went to Jinghu Lake to see the locusts there. They were packed in baskets and sacks."
"I heard someone said that grasshoppers can be fried and eaten?" "Don't lie, some are edible, some are not, but they stink."
"You can eat rice locusts, but you can't eat anything else!"
……
Xie Xiangxiang said to Xisi who was driving: "Go to Jinghu Lake."
The carriage quickly went to Jinghu Lake. Along the way, people were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. They pulled the carts and took things to collect the locusts happily.
Xie Xiangxiang opened the curtain and looked at the fields.
The fields are a mottled blue color, no longer the color of dead leaves after autumn. Although the traces of bites on the leaves are still there, the locusts are really gone.
When they arrived at Jinghu Lake, it was more lively than the temple fair. Her carriage couldn't squeeze in, so she had to abandon the carriage and walk in.
Standing by Jinghu Lake, her heart sank to the bottom.
The entire Jing Lake, the bottom of the lake is full of sacks, bamboo baskets, rattan baskets, and drowned locusts everywhere.
She never knew that the locust plague was so shocking. How many millions of these insects were there?
How many thousand stones are there?
They were all captured alive, what a courage!
The sound of the gong was still ringing "boom~boom~", and countless people, dragging their children with their children, flocked to the county government office to kowtow to the prince to express gratitude.
Xie Xiangxiang's face was ashen.
On the notice wall outside the county government office, there is a notice to the people, praising His Royal Highness as a wise man who cares about the people and travels thousands of miles across mountains and ridges to help the people eliminate the locust plague in one fell swoop.
The notice was very long, not only telling everyone that there were no locusts in the fields, but also telling everyone that a total of more than 16 locusts had been caught, weighing 94 dan.
The common people only know that locusts are terrible, but this is the first time they have quantified the locust disaster.
94 stones, 16, my old swan!
Finally, the government told the people that locusts can not only feed chickens and ducks, but can also be eaten. Everyone can try it.
In the morning, when Xie Yanyan was drowsily asleep, the county magistrate asked the two little maids to come to her again, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince had something urgent to ask her.
Xie Yanyan packed himself up and went to the prince's side. His father was also there.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in particularly good spirits. When he saw her coming, he immediately gave her a seat.
“Ms.
But Xie Anfeng and Xie Yanyan were both vigilant.
"Is there anything wrong?" Xie Yanyan glanced at the prince indifferently.
Why are you asking? Isn’t it bad to take credit for nothing without putting in any effort?
"Uh~" The prince intuitively asked if he wanted to ask any more questions. He would definitely have nothing good to say, so he immediately changed the subject, "Miss Xie, I want to write a letter to my father to announce the good news. Do you have anything to say to my father?"
"The sinful daughter has nothing to say."
"Don't you write a letter to my father? My father likes your letters very much." The prince thought of the last letter written by Xie Yanyan. Emperor Xuanwen was so happy that he kept saying this was a letter for many days. He wanted to call Xie Yanyan Yanyan writes another letter to his father, a few words will do.
"Then please wait a moment, Your Highness, I will write right away."
Xie Yanyan thought for a while, pulled out the photo of Jinghu Lake filled with locusts yesterday on his phone, and pulled out the redemption panel.
"Xiao Mei, exchange it for a pin-type photo and print it into a meticulous painting. You can make the paper a little larger and remove the watermark."
[A detailed drawing of locust killing, redeemed successfully]
Xiaomei is particularly attentive. As long as Xie Yanyan needs to exchange it, it will be able to swindle the good things in her space sooner or later.
