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

"His Majesty the Wise Shenwu Emperor, the sinful minister daughter and her father, together with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince Zhou, exterminated the locusts in the northwest (manual harping).

You don’t even know how rampant locusts are. They not only eat crops, plants, vegetables and fruits, but they also dare to bite people’s faces! Does it want to eat the flesh of our Da Qin people?
It was unbearable, and the prince said that he must be captured alive and used as food rations.

We caught so many locusts, which made my scalp numb!

In order to get to the northwest as soon as possible to help the people, the prince actually rolled up his trousers and hiked across the mountains.

It takes 8 days for strong people to cross the mountains, but it only takes 6 days for us. Isn't it serious?

In fact, the guilty minister's daughter and her father were also very tired. Zhou Shizi helped the guilty minister's daughter carry locust extermination tools all the way, and was almost bitten to death by mosquitoes.

So, what is your Majesty planning to reward? The guilty servant girl is looking forward to your majesty's reward, showing off to others and blinding their eyes. "

Xiaomei's photos about the locust plague were also printed out. She couldn't get enough of it, and what she got was a serious meticulous painting, lifelike and detailed.

Xie Yanyan stuffed the letters and paintings into a large envelope without sealing it and gave it to the prince.

Without stopping, he yawned: "Brothers, I'm not going to eat breakfast. I'm going to go back to sleep."

Ancient people went to bed early and got up early, going to bed at midnight and getting up at midnight. It was just dawn when she finished all these tasks.

As she walked forward, the prince wanted to see what she had written.

But it's immoral to peek at someone else's letter. Besides, this letter is addressed to his father, so how could he have the right to read it?
But what did she write? Why is it such a big letter?

Seeing that the prince was holding Xie Yanyan's letter without saying anything, Dongliu could understand his thoughts, but he would not encourage the prince to open his majesty's letter.

Finally, the prince suppressed his curiosity and handed the envelope to Dong Liu: "Miss Xie's letter, together with Master Yu's and Gu's letters, were rushed 800 miles to the father."

Eight hundred miles urgent! Eight hundred miles urgent!
A roll of yellow dust billows, horses gallop past, and the city along the way shouts: Hurry up for eight hundred miles! The Prince's victory in controlling locusts in the northwest was great, with not a single locust slipping through the net.

The prince successfully controlled locusts and was ready to return to Kyoto immediately. Xie Yanyan and Xie Anfeng also completed the task of controlling locusts and will continue on the road to exile.

"Miss Xie, I am going back to Kyoto. Do you have anything else that I can help you with?" the prince asked.

Xie Yanyan thought for a while and said, "If Your Majesty wants to pardon the guilty minister, I hope that only eight members of our family will be pardoned, and the others can be forgotten."

"Okay, then we will only pardon General Xie's family." The prince had already heard about the scandal in the Hou Mansion, and his father did not want to pardon someone like Xie Jinrong at all.

Zhou Shaoyu ran away from the fiefdom directly because of the locust control. His two-month vacation was in vain, and he had to return to Kyoto with the prince.

Xie Yanyan had no intention of meddling in royal affairs. This period in history was even more chaotic than the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and she was powerless to stop it.

However, when it was time to say goodbye, Zhou Shaoyu kept looking at her with reluctance in his eyes.

Xie Yanyan couldn't explain how he felt. Thinking of Xie Xiangxiang's inner words, he knew that their road back to Beijing would be full of thorns.

Unable to bear it, Xie Yanyan said to Zhou Shaoyu: "That woman is not a staff member of King Xi, but Xie Xiangxiang. The two maids beside her are an ordinary maid and a martial arts master. I overheard them saying that they were here to control locusts. It’s not King Xi, it’s his substitute, called Xi Twelve.”

Zhou Shaoyu nodded: "King Xi is using a substitute, I know."

It turned out that he knew everything, and she thought she was the only one who knew.

"Does the prince know?"

"He also knows." Xie Yanyan was surprised: "Then he knew that Xi Twelve was King Xi's substitute, so he didn't kill him? Did he keep it for the New Year?"

Zhou Shaoyu was amused by her sentence "Keep it for the New Year" and said: "King Xi came to control the locust plague, but he sent a fake. This is deceiving the king! But it is not Xi Twelve who deceived the king, the mastermind is King Xi. Kill him instead. King Xi has eliminated the living evidence of deceiving the king. Besides, if he kills Xi Twelve at the disaster relief site, others will not be able to tell whether he is the real King Xi, but it will make the prince have a reputation as a murderer."

Xie Yanyan: I have a headache!

"Xi Twelve was secretly killed last night!" Zhou Shaoyu told her in a low voice with a smile, "The prince is still in court, and he must return to his fief. Should he stay here for the New Year?! Anyway, I am a dandy. If he is a master, he must be dead. It wasn't me."

Xie Yanyan: Persimmon, can I trust you?
"King Xi stole away to Kyoto. It is unknown what happened in Kyoto. But King Xi and Wang Zhen will definitely try their best to stop the prince from returning to the court. I am afraid that the journey will not be peaceful. You should not go back to Kyoto with him. People who protect the prince It must be a lot, but you only have one weekly allowance."

"You care about me?"

"Forget it if you don't listen."

Zhou Shaoyu smiled beautifully and said seriously: "Okay, I will listen to you."

I don’t know what he and the prince were talking about. Anyway, the prince agreed with him to protect Xie Yanyan and his daughter back to Lingnan. His Royal Highness also made strict arrangements for the return trip.

King Xi is not the only one who knows the three cunning rabbit caves, the prince also knows how to do it.

Before leaving, the prince told Xie Yanyan to relax and play in Chang'an for a few days. If anything happens, just take his jade pendant to the government.

Chu Xiwang did not leave immediately. He fulfilled his promise and brought 10 stones of rice and grain from other places for disaster relief. Yushanhe specially asked people to post notices on the notice wall to praise his good deeds.

The prince and his entourage left, and Xie Xiangxiang was indescribably frustrated. He originally thought that Wang Zhen's method would stabilize the prince's position, but he didn't expect to lose so miserably.

However, Xie Xiangxiang took off his silk hat and smiled lightly: "Prince, Xie Yanyan, don't you know? The fun has just begun!"

Once the prince leaves, what awaits him will definitely be a narrow escape. Will he be able to return to Kyoto alive? mysterious!

"To eliminate the locusts, we are just cooperating with the prince to secretly return to Kyoto to provide cover." Xie Xiangxiang encouraged everyone, "Resuming agricultural production after the disaster and winning the hearts of the people in the entire west for the prince are what we really want to do."

Wang Zhen said that the prince was the crown prince and if he did not return to the court for a long time, it would inevitably cause unrest in the court. He asked them to delay the prince's extermination of locusts for as long as possible.

However, none of them expected Xie Yanyan's unexpected surprise. She did not know what means she used to annihilate all the locusts in one day, disrupting their overall plan.

"Mrs. Xiang, how many seeds should we send to the victims? What kind of seeds?" The palace guards knew that King Xi asked them to send seeds to the disaster area, but how to send them, King Xi only told Mrs. Xiang.

"Rice, wheat. The seeds will be delivered directly to the 10 counties west of Jingchuan County, especially Jingshan County."

Those counties were border counties between the former Qin Dynasty and Liang State, Xirong, and Beidi.

Wang Zhen arranged for King Xi to have private friendship with Liang State, Xirong, and Beidi, and Jingshan County and other counties must be his backers.

As for grain, Governor He, the highest military commander in the entire northwest, has contacted neighboring Beidi to get it at all costs.

When Xi Twelve came, he brought a letter to Governor He: When the matter was accomplished, Governor He would be crowned the King of the Northwest, and he would be hereditary.
