Chapter 140 Li Shimin's Troubles
Xiao Sizi stopped talking immediately.

Just shut up and don't say anything.

After breakfast, Ye Jiangnan urged Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman to practice.

In order to avoid practicing, little Sizi acted like a spoiled child and acted cute.

But Ye Jiangnan didn't buy her trick at all.

He grabbed the little Sizi by the back of his collar, lifted him up and brought him under the tree.

"Well……"

Little Sizi was put on the ground, looking at Ye Jiangnan with a puzzled look.

"Little Nianjun, what are you doing?"

"Watch you practice!"

Ye Jiangnan snapped his fingers and a single sofa appeared behind him.

Leaning on the sofa, Ye Jiangnan stared at Xiao Sizi.

Little Sizi: “…”

"Xiao Neng-jun, is this really okay for you?"

"It's fine. I'm watching you practice, and it's not very tiring."

"But I feel embarrassed when you stare at me like this."

Little Sizi lowered his head and rubbed the grass back and forth with his feet.

"you?"

"Excuse me?"

Ye Jiangnan looked like he had seen some joke.

Little Sizi nodded his little head.

"Then if I'm not watching you, will you practice well?"

Ye Jiangnan said speechlessly.

Little Sizi has good talents, but he just likes to be lazy.

If no one is watching her, she won't be able to concentrate on her practice.

"Of course!"

"Don't you believe me?"

Little Sizi pouted and said unhappily.

"Can't we have a little more trust between us?"

Ye Jiangnan didn't say anything, just looked at her.

Xiao Sizi looked at Ye Jiangnan in confusion and asked:

"Xiao Neng-jun, what do you mean?"

"Why are not you talking?"

Ye Jiangnan snorted coldly and still said nothing.

Little Sizi: “???”

Seeing that Ye Jiangnan didn't say anything, Xiao Sizi went to the tree angrily and sat on the cushion.

Ying Yinman was already sitting there practicing.

Xiao Sizi glanced at his junior sister, then closed his eyes and started practicing.

Less than a cup of tea after sitting down, Xiao Sizi opened his eyes a little bit and glanced at Ye Jiangnan.

Seeing Ye Jiangnan staring at him, Xiao Sizi closed his eyes and continued practicing.

After a while, little Sizi moved his butt on the mat.

Ye Jiangnan looked at Xiao Sizi in confusion, with some puzzlement on his face.

After a while, I saw the little Sizi move his butt again.

Ye Jiangnan: “???”

Little Sizi's butt moved on the mat again.

Then, he moved again.

Seeing that Xiao Sizi was about to move his butt off the cushion, Ye Jiangnan couldn't help but remind him:

"Stop moving your ass!"

"If you move any further, you'll fall!"

Little Sizi opened his eyes and looked at Ye Jiangnan in confusion.

"Xiao Neng-jun, what's wrong?"

"Look down for yourself."

Ye Jiangnan said unhappily.

Little Sizi looked down and saw that his little butt had reached the edge of the cushion.

"hey-hey……"

Little Sizi smiled innocently and said:
“This is not comfortable to sit on.”

As he spoke, Little Sizi patted the cushion he was sitting on with his chubby hands.

"Oh?"

"Isn't this uncomfortable?"

"So what do you need to feel comfortable?"

Ye Jiangnan asked.

"Well……"

Xiao Sizi thought for a moment, then said:
"Lying down is the most comfortable!"

Ye Jiangnan: “…”

"Don't be sour, practice hard!"

Ye Jiangnan decided to ignore this girl.

That's how this girl is.

The more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became.

That little mouth was like a machine gun and couldn't stop at all.

"Oh."

Little Sizi responded unhappily.

Move your little butt straight, close your eyes and continue practicing.

This time, little Sizi did not act up.

He sat there obediently and finally got serious.

……

Datang.

royal palace.

In the imperial study room.

Li Shimin was wearing sunglasses on his face, holding a mobile phone in his right hand and a cigarette in his left hand.

"Old Zhu!"

"How are you doing there?"

Li Shimin asked Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile.

After saying that, Li Shimin put the cigarette to his lips, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled white smoke from his mouth.

He saw this cigarette when he was checking out at the store yesterday when he was buying an Internet receiver.

According to the introduction on the screen, this thing is called "cigarette".

There is no harm in it, on the contrary, one puff can refresh your mind.

The white smoke exhaled can also be used as the smoke from burning aromatherapy, giving people a light fragrance.

The price is not expensive, one hundred coins per pack.

Li Shimin was curious, so he bought a pack and a lighter as well.

That lighter is much more useful than a tinderbox!

Once the fire starter has been soaked in water, it cannot be used anymore.

Even if the lighter is soaked in water, it can still be used.

It is much more convenient to use a lighter when marching or fighting, or when cooking at home.

"Brother Li, why did you think of calling me?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile.

The two left their contact information but never used it.

Li Shimin suddenly made a video call to himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang guessed that Li Shimin's intention to find him was definitely not a good thing.

"Oh, I missed you!"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help rolling his eyes as he looked at Li Shimin smoking.

Thinking about yourself?
Even if you say this to a three-year-old child, he won't believe it.

"Miss me, then why don't you come to my Daming and visit me, Brother Li?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"No, no, I have to go to the immortal later!"

Li Shimin rejected Zhu Yuanzhang's invitation.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked curiously:
"Oh? Brother Li, the immortal is back?"

Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes!"

"I came back yesterday."

"Brother Zheng and I went to visit the immortal yesterday."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:

"Really!"

"Then I'll go too later!"

Li Shimin said:

"Okay, let's go together later."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

After they exchanged a few more words, they hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Li Shimin laughed.

He called Zhu Yuanzhang on purpose.

The purpose was to tell Zhu Yuanzhang that Ye Jiangnan was back.

According to his understanding, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely go to Ye Jiangnan after knowing this.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang really wanted to go after hearing it.

Li Shimin asked Zhu Yuanzhang to go to Ye Jiangnan because he wanted to ask Zhu Yuanzhang something.

Today he read some memorials submitted by ministers.

Everyone was saying that there was a locust plague in Chang'an City and the surrounding areas, and the crops planted by the people were completely eaten by the locusts.

The autumn harvest is approaching, but the crops have been eaten by locusts. How will the people survive this year and next?

Originally, Li Shimin's original plan was to ask Ye Jiangnan for a solution.

But asking must cost money, right?
He was currently short of money, so he thought of asking Zhu Yuanzhang.

The reason why I asked Zhu Yuanzhang instead of Qin Shihuang.

This is because Li Shimin thought that Zhu Yuanzhang established a country after his Tang Dynasty.

Then he must know how to solve the locust plague.

This was Li Shimin’s plan.

Li Shimin smoked a cigarette and threw the butt into the ashtray.

"Hey……"

Li Shimin sighed.

Since he ascended the throne, everything has been going wrong.

The affairs of the border have not been settled yet, and the country is suffering from drought, floods and frost.

If he had not seen the "immortal" himself, Li Shimin would have suspected that God thought he should not be an emperor and that was why he was sent down such disasters.

After a long while, Li Shimin said to the outside:
"Tell Zhangsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Cheng Yaojin to come to the Imperial Study to see me."

"Yes!"

The eunuch outside the door responded and went to report.

However, after only a cup of tea, the eunuch's voice came back again.

"Your Majesty, when I was about to go find Duke Zhao and his family, I ran into a servant of Duke Zhao's family."

"The servant told me that the Duke of Zhao and his men had gone to ask for a solution to the locust plague."

"If your majesty needs anything, you can go there to find them."

As soon as Li Shimin heard it, he understood.

It should be Changsun Wuji and his companions who couldn't think of a way to solve the locust plague.

So, I went to find the immortal.

"I understand."

Li Shimin responded.

Then, it turned into a white light and disappeared into the imperial study.

……

Store of All Worlds.

In the courtyard.

Huang Rong and Yu Shu were grilling. Ye Jiangnan was chatting with Huang Rong's parents, Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng.

"Immortal, I am really sorry to trouble you."

Huang Yaoshi said with a wry smile.

"Rong'er's personality is like mine."

"Playful and lively by nature."

"I'm new here, so I don't have much experience."

"During this period, I really trouble the immortal to take care of me."

Ye Jiangnan shook his head and said:
"I didn't take care of her."

"You don't have to be so polite."

Huang Yaoshi was about to say something, but Feng Heng grabbed Huang Yaoshi's hand and said:

"Immortal, when Rong'er first told us that she had seen an immortal, the pharmacist and I didn't quite believe it."

"If he hadn't brought us here, we would have really thought he was joking with us."

Ye Jiangnan said:

“It’s understandable that you don’t believe it.”

"If it were anyone else, they would have the same idea as you."

Just as Feng Heng was about to respond, a white light suddenly flashed in the yard.

The white light dissipated, and the four people were revealed: Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Cheng Yaojin.

"Immortal!"

"Save us!"

As soon as the four arrived, they started crying and shouting when they saw Ye Jiangnan.

Ye Jiangnan: “???”

Huang Yaoshi: "???"

Feng Heng: "???"

Ye Jiangnan and the other two who were sitting on the sofa chatting looked at Changsun Wuji and the other three who were crying with a puzzled look on their faces.

Huang Rong and Yu Shu, who were barbecuing over there, cast curious glances.

Xiao Sizi and Ying Yinman, who were originally practicing, opened their eyes because of the crying and shouting of the four of them.

"It's my uncle and his uncles!"

Little Sizi stood up puzzledly and walked towards the sofa.

Ying Yinman looked at her senior sister, then at Changsun Wuji and the others who were crying.

After thinking about it, I closed my eyes and continued practicing.

Don’t get involved in things that have nothing to do with you. It’s better to practice diligently.

Changsun Wuji and the other three could be said to be in tears.

The four of them stood in front of Ye Jiangnan, not saying anything, just crying.

"Immortal!"

"Fairy..."

Ye Jiangnan: “…”

If their crying hadn't been so fake, Ye Jiangnan would have really felt pity for them.

Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng looked at Changsun Wuji and the other three, then looked at Ye Jiangnan.

Why does this feel like mourning?

It's like a distant relative crying over a dead person.

It looked like a "true expression of emotion", but in fact it was just fake crying.

There wasn't a single tear shed, and her crying sounded so fake.

Little Sizi jumped and skipped to Ye Jiangnan.

She tilted her head and asked Ye Jiangnan in confusion:

"Xiao Neng-jun, are you going to die?"

Ye Jiangnan: “???”

"How do you know I'm going to die?"

Ye Jiangnan said speechlessly.

I must teach little Sizi well next time.

Otherwise this girl would always say “you are going to die”.

"If you weren't going to die, why were your uncle and the others crying and calling your name?"

Little Sizi asked in confusion.

Ye Jiangnan took a deep breath and pinched Xiao Sizi's chubby face with both hands.

"I'm not dying."

"besides……"

After Ye Jiangnan finished speaking, he looked at Changsun Wuji and the other three and said unhappily:
"You four better explain to me what's going on."

"He started crying as soon as he arrived!"

"People who don't know would think you are mourning!"

"Tell me, what's the matter!"

Changsun Wuji and the other three stopped crying instantly.

After stopping, he wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.

The four of them looked at each other, and then Changsun Wuji said:

"Immortal, in Chang'an and the surrounding areas of the Tang Dynasty, locusts are flying all over the sky, blocking out the sun."

"These locusts devoured the crops and ate up all the crops of the common people."

"The people have lost their crops, and I'm afraid they will have a hard time this year and next year."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiangnan nodded slightly.

"So, you are here to ask me how to solve the locust plague, right?"

Changsun Wuji and the other three nodded repeatedly.

"Why are there only four of you here? Where is King Tang?"

"King Tang doesn't know about this yet?"

Ye Jiangnan did not first answer Changsun Wuji and others' question about the solution to the locust plague, but instead asked why Li Shimin did not come.

Logically speaking, Li Shimin should be the most anxious person after this incident.

Li Shimin had not come to find him yet, but Changsun Wuji and others came first.

As soon as Ye Jiangnan finished speaking, Li Shimin's voice came over.

"Immortal, here I come!"

"I am coming!"

When little Sizi saw Li Shimin, he ran towards him happily.

"Grandma!"

Li Shimin smiled and held little Sizi in his arms.

"His Majesty!"

When Changsun Wuji and other three saw Li Shimin, they bowed to him.

Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng looked at Li Shimin curiously.

Li Shimin came to Ye Jiangnan holding Xiao Sizi and said embarrassedly:

"Immortal."

"Ah."

Ye Jiangnan nodded.

Li Shimin explained:

"My Immortal, I am not unaware of the locust plague."

"I didn't delay my government affairs just because I wanted to have fun."

"I came late because I called Lao Zhu earlier."

As he spoke, Li Shimin was afraid that Ye Jiangnan would not believe him, so he took out his mobile phone and handed it to Ye Jiangnan to see the video footage of himself and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Immortal, I'll call Lao Zhu and ask him to come to your place."

"I just want to ask, does Lao Zhu have any solution to the locust plague?"

"It's not that I, Li Shimin, am stingy and unwilling to spend money to ask for methods."

"But I think I can't trouble you with everything."

"I want to ask Lao Zhu, what did I do in history?"

“Is it the same as what I think now?”

"Doing this will have no effect."

Li Shimin gave a long explanation.

While he was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang came with Empress Ma.

Beside Zhu Yuanzhang, besides Empress Ma, there was also a man who was about the same age as Huang Rong.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang brought Empress Ma over to say hello.

"Fairy!"

Then, Zhu Yuanzhang introduced Ye Jiangnan to a man who was about the same age as Huang Rong:
"My lord, this is my son Zhu Biao."

Zhu Biao bowed to Ye Jiangnan and said politely and respectfully:

"Zhu Biao pays homage to the Immortal."

Then, Zhu Biao bowed to Li Shimin, Huang Yaoshi and others.

"Meet all the uncles and aunts!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his behavior.

Li Shimin, Zhangsun Wuji and others couldn't help but take a closer look at Zhu Biao.

Look at this child, how polite, sensible and courteous he is.

"You're welcome, nephew!"

Li Shimin said with a smile.

"Old Zhu, is this your prince?"

Zhu Biao stood up and was a little surprised to hear Li Shimin calling him "father" so intimately.

Before coming, his father only said that he would take him to meet the immortal and a few uncles.

I thought the relationship between my uncles and my father would not be particularly close.

But now, from the way and tone of their speech, Zhu Biao discovered that the relationship between these uncles and his father seemed to be much better.

It is even better than those uncles who have been through life and death with him.

As for the reason, Zhu Biao was temporarily confused and could only listen and observe silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said:
"Yes, it's our prince."

"I wanted to bring him here to meet the Immortal and you, so that everyone can get to know him."

Ye Jiangnan took a look at Zhu Biao, then said to Zhu Yuanzhang:

"Pay more attention to his health."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "???"

Queen Ma: "???"

Zhu Biao: "???"

Li Shimin and others: “???”

Ye Jiangnan's sudden remark made everyone a little confused.

Why did the immortal touch someone's body for no reason?

"My god, our child..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was trembling a little when he spoke.

If someone else said this, Zhu Yuanzhang would just get angry.

But when Ye Jiangnan said this, Zhu Yuanzhang just thought that Ye Jiangnan was reminding him or hinting at something.

"I'll tell you later."

"Your matters should be dealt with one by one."

Ye Jiangnan said slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang shut his mouth.

Zhu Biao looked at Ye Jiangnan in confusion, then at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Father, what did the immortal mean?"

Zhu Biao asked Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion.

"We don't know either."

"After we finish asking about your Uncle Li, let's ask the Immortal."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Biao nodded sensibly.

"it is good!"

At this time, Huang Rong shouted:

“The barbecue is ready!”

“You can come over and eat now!”

Ye Jiangnan stood up and said:
"Let's eat while we talk."

After saying that, Ye Jiangnan added:
"Little Huang Rong worked hard to bake it, you should remember to pay her the hard work fee."

"As for these ingredients, consider it as my treat for you."
