Chapter 35
Wu Xie nodded with certainty, and then said seriously: "Don't look at it as it looks like taro, but it's actually a completely different thing. This kind of thing is poisonous, but it's not too strong. When you first eat it, it doesn't have any poison. problem. Plus it’s easier to grow than other crops, requires very little water, and is quite tasty.”

Yan Xi's pupils shrank suddenly: "And then because of the severe drought, the crops failed, and this kind of thing was spread?"

Wu Xie nodded: "That's it, so after a long period of accumulation, this toxin was accumulated, and then the disease occurred. But everyone didn't realize that it was because of this, and it gradually evolved into a plague. The root cause is this poison."

"But this kind of thing didn't appear before, what is it..." Yan Xi picked up the thing and frowned slightly.

"Probably because of its growth caused by the severe drought. It is true that this poison was not found before. It was only discovered after various tests. This is why the rich did not catch the plague, because they did not eat it. Besides, even if they knew it was poison, some people would still eat it, after all, they have nothing else to eat." Wu Xie's voice was rare and deep, after all, it killed so many people something.

Yan Xi shook her head: "Then, after this period of time, has the plague area improved?"

Wu Xie nodded: "Exactly, most of the villages and towns have left this state. I believe that in a few days, they will all recover, but the ones that have passed away..."

Yan Xi patted Wu Xie on the shoulder: "I see, I saw that it was the right decision to entrust this matter to you!" Then she thought for a moment: "However, Miao Jiang is indeed a mysterious family. You have found out the cause of the plague, but you can't find out the news of Miaojiang. It's a bit tricky, but since this is the case, after the spring, you can start counting the number of people in Yue, and then let them start growing grain. Fortunately, our country of Yue has three crops a year, and the food supply will soon be able to keep up. This year, the country of Wu has such a heavy snowfall, and the country of Yue must not have a severe drought."

"Every mistake, before the apprentice came, it was raining lightly in the territory. The drought for so many years has been relieved by the light rain for more than ten days, so we can look forward to it next year."

Xi Xi frowned, she didn't know the specific drought situation in Yue country, but there was indeed a severe drought in one year, and although there were some rains one after another, it still couldn't relieve the already dried up disciples, and the well water was also drained. It can barely be used for people to eat, and it is even more impossible to use it for watering.

Looking at the cave behind him, Yan Xi turned around and said, "Okay, I've finished explaining things, you should go back quickly, if there is anything, I will notify you separately, if you are short of silver, you can come to me, or Jingchou Can."

"Yes." Saying that, Wu Xie had disappeared in front of Yan Xi.

When Xi Xi returned to the cave, seeing other people lying on the paved haystack, Xi Xi also lay on the other side and yawned. Thinking about today's events, she suddenly felt that things were always better than imagined. To be smoother, at least the poisoning is better than the plague. Looking at it now, the situation in Yue is really getting better and better.

After a month, I finally arrived at Huailiang City. The moment I entered the city, I found that the whole city was completely deserted, with white lanterns and white couplets hanging outside the door. This situation only represented one possibility—Wu Wang died.

The familiar scene reminded Yanxi that it was the same thing a year ago. She rushed back to Huawu, only to find that the mother emperor had passed away and the new emperor had ascended the throne.

Who is the new emperor this time?Yan Xi pursed her lips, got off her horse in front of the palace, and followed the guides to the main hall.

Sitting directly above the inside was the crown prince, as expected, it was justified, Yan Xi lowered his eyes and knelt down to pay respects, and was left behind by the crown prince.

After the others dispersed, the prince showed a dull smile: "I wonder if Xie Xi would mind following me to the imperial garden?"

Yan Xi held the helmet in her right hand, and the prince's arm in her left hand, she lowered her eyes: "Does Your Majesty have any orders?"

On the road, the red plums are especially beautiful against the snow scene. Yan Xi’s voice is neither sad nor happy, just looking for the meaning of the prince. Now that he has directly become his subject, the sudden change of master is a little uncomfortable, but after all, the people of these countries All the emperors died so early. The emperors of the Three Kingdoms all started at about the same age. Over the past few generations, the ages are still the same, but after all, King Wu lived longer. The prince is now in his thirties, but he is always sick because of his appearance. , appearing much younger than her actual age.

Liu Su looked at Yan Xi with side eyes, it was the first time he had seen a woman in military uniform, she was unexpectedly suitable for her, her heroic appearance made her envious, she calmed down, and said: "Are you still used to the frontier?"

"Naturally, this minister belonged to the frontier before." Yan Xi didn't say any extra words, anyway, as the emperor, he should know it well.

Liusu smiled and praised: "Cheng Xi is really a remarkable woman. She has subdued the soldiers at the border in such a short period of time, which is rare. I despised you before."

Yan Xi lowered her eyes: "What did your majesty say, the humble minister is still far behind! After all, I just let them accept me as the commander, and the military exploits have not yet been achieved!"

Liusu stopped in his tracks, and wrapped his arms around Yan Xi's hand. Yan Xi's face was covered with thick calluses, while his own hand seemed quite weak and thin in comparison. For a moment, Liu Su hesitated, and he Suddenly, I understood why the father made women's status lower and lower. It was the lower status of women that made a sick and weak person like himself stronger than those women who lived by relying on others.There was a self-deprecating smile on Liusu's lips, he didn't want to die, that's why he kept fighting like this, this was his only belief: "Will Xixi help me?"

With a hint of pleading words, Yan Xi was a little surprised, she raised her eyes slightly, and what caught her eyes was Liu Su's pale face, his pupils were so dark that there was no luster, she always felt his lust!Desire is hidden in it, his desire doesn't look like dominating the world, he doesn't seem to have that big ambition, but there is no doubt that he has a very strong desire!Desire, and it is this desire, drives his actions.

"Your Majesty's order, I'm sure I'll die." The rigid and clichéd reply made Liusu hold Yan Xi's hand tightly, and he stared closely at Yan Xi's eyes: "Is it true?"

"Eh?" Yan Xi was slightly surprised.

"Are you really going to die?" Looking at Yan Xi's eyes that revealed a stunning light at this moment, making Yan Xi's body tense up, she couldn't help being a little on guard, she gritted her teeth, and said abruptly: "Hey! Do not hesitate to die!"

After hearing Yan Xi's words, Liusu breathed a sigh of relief, put down Yan Xi's hand, and showed the usual sickly smile: "Yes, I can feel at ease with what Yan Xi said."

Liusu looked at the plum blossoms in the garden, and suddenly his pupils shrank, and then stepped forward and twisted the branches of the plum blossoms without hesitation. Seeing Liusu's crazy actions, Yan Xi became more and more puzzled. The prince saw one thing, that is, he was very guarded.So Yan Xi has been a little bit hard to see through him, because he hides himself so deeply that people can't see him.

Liusu sneered, which brought Yan Xi back to his senses. Seeing that Tassel's hands were covered with blood, she shook her head. Yan Xi didn't care about such wounds at all. Seeing that he was the emperor, she walked up to him. Qian took out the medicine powder from his arms and carefully sprinkled it on the wound, then wrapped it up with a handkerchief.

Liusu sneered: "You know what? That man said, you are the only chess piece he left for me, and that's all he can do for me. It's up to me whether I can hold this position or not. But since he thought that I might not be able to keep it, why did he insist on killing my concubine mother!"

that person?It probably refers to the king of Wu, and now it should be said to be the first king.Yan Xi was also helpless, she didn't expect to recruit herself, this former king actually had such a special plan, I heard that the former king bestowed the death of the prince's mother before the announcement of the establishment of the prince, it seems that it is true.

Yan Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a smile: "This is really an honor for me, Your Majesty." Although she wanted to know the weakness of the prince's heart, it was not the time yet, if he interrupted him at this moment, he would not I will be suspicious of myself, after all, this is a very suspicious person!
Liusu was stunned for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips: "It seems that the general is also exceptionally smart!"

Yan Xi shook her head and said modestly: "I don't dare to take it seriously, it's just His Majesty's words, I think it's more appropriate to find a time when His Majesty is happier to listen."

Liusu tilted her head and asked probingly: "What? Aiqing is willing to continue listening?"

Yan Xi nodded and bowed: "As long as Your Majesty wants to tell the subject, no matter when, the subject will listen attentively."

Liusu stood up straight and looked at the plum blossoms that had been destroyed by him all around: "I heard that the father gave you a few male pets before?"

"Yes."

"Does it feel good?" There was a teasing smile on the corner of Liusu's lips.

Yan Xi shook her head: "This is really bothering me. These people don't know where to put me. To be honest, I also have a man who admires him. I think His Majesty knows about that man. The other women from the Yue Kingdom I don't know." I don't know, but I personally still want to be by the bedside for the sake of affection." These words are quite bold, but Yan Xi really doesn't want Liu Su to force people into her house, after all, she really can't afford to support her again.

Liusu responded clearly: "You must be talking about Shui Wuya as a military commander. I have heard a little about his relationship with you before. I didn't expect the general to fall in love with you like the legends say."
