"What's up?"

Mu Changqing had no idleness and nonsense at all, and asked in a calm voice.

He slowly let out a breath, as if he had been suppressed for too long, Qin Guangdong said in a low tone.

"The locust plague broke out!"

What?

As his eyes turned dark, Mu Changqing felt like he was about to faint on the ground, and Hua Ji next to him also changed her face in an instant.

"How could it explode?"

He grabbed Qin Guangdong's collar and Mu Changqing looked like a roar.

"Didn't you say that the locusts in Dayan have been hunted all over the days? Why did they still break out?"

—————————

Time goes back one hour ago.

The morning court of Yanxing Palace was held as usual.

The officials from all major cities were divided into two rows to enter the hall. Chu Zhi had just sat on a golden chair with Xue Ji's support.

Before the start was announced, one of the officials came out regardless of the rules and fell to the ground, knocking his head as if he was pounding garlic.

He screamed in his mouth.

"Your Majesty, a locust plague broke out in Qingping County, a locust plague broke out."

"What?"

Chu Zhi's face changed suddenly and he stood up.

Incredible tone: "What did you say?"

The man was still kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, the locusts in Qingping County are raging, and now all crops have been affected. The adjacent prefectures and counties have also been affected overnight. The situation is in crisis."

The officials standing in the hall were trembling as they heard this.

"No, a few days ago, didn't Yi, Yuzhou Prefecture, even wrote a letter saying that all the locusts in Yuzhou have been killed? How could a locust plague suddenly break out overnight?"

One of the officials angrily said.

"Mr. Dong, how dare the officials speak nonsense?"

"Yi, Yuzhou Prefecture, had already committed suicide at home yesterday. If the officials had not had a close confidant in Yuzhou, they would not have learned the news so quickly."

"What? Yi Wei committed suicide by committing suicide in Yuzhou Prefecture?"

"Can you be lying to Yuzhou Prefecture Yi lied to the news? The locusts were not culled in Yuzhou?"

The court suddenly burst into an uproar.

Chu Zhi's face was as gloomy as if it was dripping water.

The matter of killing locusts was that she personally ordered all prefectures and counties to dispatch all personnel to participate.

Any news must be notified in a timely manner.

Although countless larvae eggs were found in Dayan, they were discovered in time and were carried out in an orderly manner these days.

I thought the locusts were killed in a timely manner, and it would avoid a disaster that would harm the country.

Unexpectedly, Yuzhou Prefecture Yi actually spread false news without authorization, that the locusts in Yuzhou were not culled completely, or that they didn't care at all.

How dare he!

How dare he!

Chu Zhi felt a huge anger.

However, it is unrealistic to consider the clues at this time.

The most urgent task is to try every means to stop the spread of locust plague.

You should know that locusts reproduce very quickly. Once they become adults, they are overwhelming and want to hunt them again, so it is no longer possible for human resources to reach them.

It affected neighboring prefectures overnight and spread to the entire Dayan territory without taking long.

Now the new crops are not yet ripe, and once they spread, they will never dare to imagine the ending.

What's more, the locust plague will be accompanied by epidemics, let alone the panic hearts of people.

Chu Zhi didn't care about his daily morning court, so he immediately ordered the soldiers from Nanying to go to Yuzhou immediately, and at the same time, he accompanied several imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital.

At the same time, other states and prefectures are reminded to be alerted to the highest limit.

After listening to Qin Guangdong's narrative, Mu Changqing's face turned pale as paper.

"Then Yuzhou Prefecture Yi is Xu Youqian's confidant?"

The worst situation has already appeared, and Mu Changqing felt cold all over his body.

This is a locust plague. I don’t know how many people will die because of this. The economic strength of the entire country may be regressed for decades.

Even if there are gaps and disputes, we won’t treat human life like weeds like weeds, right?

Are you really not afraid of going to hell?

Qin Guangdong shook his head and said in a low tone: "Yuzhou Prefecture Yi is not Xu Youqian's confidant, there must be something strange about this."

He also knew that he could not hear other useful information, so Mu Changqing stopped talking nonsense to him. He stood up and returned to the house to pack up a few pieces of clothing and prepared to leave.

"Mulang, where are you going?"

"Yuzhou!"

——————

A strong horse carried a messenger with a red flag on his back, which brought incredible news to the people of Chang'an. The locust plague in Yuzhou covered the sky and the crops and plants were all gone wherever they went.

In the following two days, the healthy horses arrived in Chang'an one by one. On the map, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Hua County, and Chencang all prefectures and counties around Yuzhou were filled with yellow disaster flags.

The disaster is a big disaster.

It did not give the court any chance to think, and the speed of the locust plague spreading was appalling.

Amid the silence of the officials, Chu Zhi issued the order to burn the field.

However, the fire could not stop the raging speed of locusts, and human power seemed so ridiculous in front of it.

In Yuzhou.

Mu Changqing did not ask Hua Ji to accompany him, and took Liu Youde and the others to travel day and night, and arrived at Qingping County, where the locust plague first broke out in Yuzhou.

Where to see.

Locusts covering the sky and the sun are everywhere, and millions of locusts with fingers spread their wings and dance quickly in the air, gathering a huge roar similar to the plane's takeoff, covering the whole county like a covert.

All the crops were eaten, and there were only endless yellow and juvenile eggs left in the fields, densely covered with locust eggs piled up into mountains.

In the face of natural disasters, Mu Changqing's face was as beautiful as the earth. Liu Youde, who was happy in the past, was about to fall into the battle. The groom who accompanied him wanted to bury his head in the soil. The horse kept neighing, and was dragged by the carriage and couldn't move, and he kept stepping on his hooves.

Mu Changqing walked forward and let go of the chariot stopped the carriage, and two panicked horses ran towards the land without locusts.

"Young Master, this...this..."

Looking at the locusts flying all over the sky, Liu Youde widened his pupils, unable to say a complete sentence.

The next moment, countless locusts were flying towards several people.

Liu Youde shouted, swung his sleeves and waved his scatteringly, trying to drive away these demons.

But some shots were shot down, and countless locusts rushed forward one after another.

Shaking his head, Mu Changqing knocked away the locusts from the tree beside him and broke a branch. The leaves on it had long been eaten up, leaving only the branches, which were as thin as brooms.

After drinking the crazy Liu Youde, Mu Changqing stuffed the branch into his hand, indicating that this thing kills locusts faster.

Liu Youde's eyes were a little lost. The blood and turbid liquid of the locust he had just killed was stained with his face. He was attracted by his hideous and terrifying appearance. The groom beside him picked up the rotten wood on the ground and tried hard to kill the locusts, trying to suppress the fear in his heart.

Looking at the hell-like tragic image in front of him, Mu Changqing took a deep breath, then dusted his sleeves, took the lead, and stepped forward with big steps as the locusts all over the ground.
