Before confiscating the house and going into exile, he emptied the enemy's warehouses and fled.

Chapter 107 The prince should not compete with the people for credit
She turned around and saw a dozen more people coming outside the government office. Qingshan pulled the horse, and Chu Xiwang jumped down, saluting the prince and Zhou Shaoyu.

"How was your trip, Miss Xie?"

"Very good, thank you, Brother Chu."

Yu Shanhe pointed to Chu Xiwang and said to the prince: "This is Mr. Chu, the shopkeeper of the Chang'an branch of Sihai Pavilion. He has promised to donate 10 stones of rice to the people in the disaster-stricken counties in Lingxi."

Xie Yanyan: Isn’t he the boss behind Sihai Pavilion?

10 stone, a big deal. Is this Sihai Pavilion's profit for a year?
The prince was very moved and stepped forward to take Chu Xiwang's hand. Chu Xiwang took a step back and said respectfully: "It is my wish to rescue the people who were affected by the disaster."

It seems respectful, but in fact it is distant.

The prince said magnanimously: "On behalf of the people of Chang'an County, I would like to thank Shopkeeper Chu for his righteousness."

The locust plague was urgent, so no one exchanged much greetings. The prince looked at Yushanhe and said, "Everyone is here, Master Yu will tell everyone the plan."

Yushan He first reported the areas where the locust plague has passed. The counties and cities currently covered by the locust swarm include: Pingliang, Pengyuan, Huating, Jingchuan, Changwu, Zhenyuan County, Qianyang County, and Lingtai County.

Then he talked about the locust control separately, but King Xi interrupted him: "Everyone wants to share your majesty's worries. Talented people and strangers have traveled long distances to gather here. I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not compete with the people for credit. The locust plague should be controlled by them first."

The prince felt faintly angry, "Well, you Fu Rui, we originally managed it together, but you asked for separate treatment, separate treatment, and you said you want to take credit alone?" Where do you put the life and death of the people?
"According to King Xi, let the righteous men rule first, and you can't stand alone?"

"I think this is very good."

The prince was angry, but he didn't want to be the one "stealing credit". He turned to Xie Yanyan and said, "Miss Xie, what do you think?"

Xie Yanyan: "Ask them to treat it first. If they can't cure it after two days, I will treat it."

"Two days? What a joke!" King Xi said, "Miss Xie, you are too narrow-minded. Even if you are afraid that others will cure the disaster and you return without success, you should not embarrass others like this."

Xie Yanyan: "I don't need two days, I can cure it in one day."

"Haha, if you boast like this, you won't be afraid of the sky breaking!"

"The sky is broken, and it's raining just in time to relieve the drought."

Zhou Shaoyu sneered and said, "You still want ten days and a half? The insect swarm is only 600 miles away from Chang'an, and it will take two days to reach Chang'an!"

Everyone had nothing to say.

"King Xi and Zhenyang Sect, you can control it first. If you can control the locust plague, it will be a great achievement for thousands of years. If you can't control it, don't waste time."

After the prince finished speaking, King Xi laughed secretly.

[I am incompetent, yet I go all the way to grab capital]

[I just told you that you didn’t even have a chance to take action]

Xie Yanyan: You go, you go, two days!

Liu Guangming, a direct disciple of the master of the Lotus Sect of the Zhenyang Sect, shook his fly whisk and said humbly: "Please choose King Xi first."

King Xi was also modest and said: "Please let Daochang Liu choose first."

When are you still arguing? The prince said: "Daozhang Liu please come first!"

Daochang Liu said yes in the manner of an expert, but secretly sneered in his heart.

【Cure locusts? Who has ruled since ancient times]

[What kind of humility does the prince give in? What does King Xi give in to? It’s not like there’s nothing you can do about it, just use me as a shield]

[Can that little girl control locusts? Only a royal fool would believe these liars]

Xie Yanyan: Well, you are not a liar, you are a magician.

Daochang Liu's method is to "cast magic".

They chose the Dragon King Temple in Jingchuan County as the location for this spell casting.

The sacrifices, incense candles, sacrificial vessels and ritual vessels are all ready, and the sprinkling ceremony begins.

After the sprinkling ceremony, the incense candles were lit, and the brothers and sisters who came with them chanted scriptures and mantras to guide the arrival of the gods and protect the ritual site.

Then Liu Daochang welcomed the gods. He muttered words, invited the gods to come, and made offerings to the gods. I prayed for blessings, chanted and prayed for a while, prayed to the gods, and asked for the locust plague to be exterminated as soon as possible.

Xie Yanyan saw how they arranged the incense table and method in an orderly manner. It was obvious that they had prepared in advance. Only the prince was really stupid and rushed over to provide relief.

The process of casting the spell was very complicated, and it was busy from Shen time to Yin time the next day. Lanterns and candles were hung in front of the Dragon King, illuminating the whole temple inside and outside.

The people who were anxious about their crops couldn't sleep. They all lay on the wall and watched Daozhang Liu cast spells.

Daochang Liu's spellcasting has a strong sense of ritual.

Suddenly, a voice came from the nearby people, and she was stunned for a moment.

[Fortunately, I’m here]

[Taoist priests chanting sutras are just pretending to be gods and ghosts]

[Fortunately, Wang Zhen told the prince the method of controlling locusts early]

[According to Wang Zhen’s method, poison the locusts with medicine, which is when the prince becomes famous all over the world]

[By now, the prince should be arriving in Kyoto soon, right? 】

Xie Yanyan was shocked. King Xi went to Kyoto?

So this must be a fake now, no wonder she always feels weird.

They came over mountains and ridges, and Xie Xiangxiang probably came by carriage, right? He was only two days behind them, so how could he be running on this road day and night?
If I remember correctly, Xie Xiangxiang's neck was still injured and he fell into the water.

It seems that Xie Xiangxiang is not doing well either.

While she was listening to Xie Xiangxiang's thoughts and thinking wildly, the Taoist priest's approach aroused waves of exclamation.

I saw Daochang Liu shouting loudly, striking out with his shining sword, and actually reaching out to grab a three-foot-tall "insect-repelling ghost" with jet black body, red hair and blue face!
"Hey, Yaoxie, take the swarm of insects away quickly, otherwise, with the three-foot green blade in hand, I will never stop killing Yaxie."

The evil kid struggled desperately to escape in fear, but Daochang Liu showed no mercy and stabbed him in the neck with his sword.

After a while, Xie Yanyan said to Zhou Shaoyu and Xie Anfeng who were sitting outside the carriage: "Quick, save that kid."

Xie Anfeng didn't react for a moment, but Zhou Shaoyu picked up a stone and threw it on Liu Guangming's wrist without saying a word.

The sword in Liu Guangming's hand clattered to the ground.

He was shocked and shouted: "This kid has so much magic power that he actually wants to eat up this poor man."

"stop!"

Zhou Shaoyu rushed over and picked up the "little devil".

Liu Daochang was furious: "Prince Zhou, no matter how high your status is, you can't interrupt Pindao's spellcasting. If you fail to control the locusts in this way, what are your intentions in sabotaging His Majesty's plan to control locusts?"

Liu Guangming was anxious and flustered, shouting: "Dharma protector, Dharma protector."

The surrounding Taoist priests wielded swords and attacked Zhou Shaoyu one after another, shouting that the evil spirits should be handed over to Taoist Liu to be killed immediately.

Zhou Shaoyu became angry, holding the kid in one hand and the sword in the other, and the Taoist priest set up a formation.

Xie Anfeng hurriedly asked Xie Yanyan: "Yan'er, what's going on?"

"That's not a kid, it's a child, painted with colors by them." Xie Yanyan said, "Father quickly went to help the prince, rescued the child, and exposed the Taoist priest's behavior."

Xie Anfeng looked at Zhou Shaoyu and said to Xie Yanyan, "There's no need for dad to go, he can handle it on his own."

Sure enough, in just a moment, Zhou Shaoyu broke through the pile of sword formations, and Liu Guangming was trampled under his feet.

The people around them who didn't understand shouted: "How can you beat the Taoist priest? That's an evil spirit. How can you protect the evil spirit?"

"Beat him, he is on the same side as the evil spirits."

Bricks and clods of earth were thrown towards Zhou Shaoyu.
