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

Chapter 75 Zhou Shizi said: How about going to control the locust plague?
"Miss Xie, I have something urgent to do." Zhou Shaoyu came to him and jumped off his horse.

Urgent?
Xie Yanyan looked at him indifferently, "I am just a prisoner. As long as my head is not chopped off immediately, it is not an urgent matter."

"This is this?" County Magistrate Chen is in his 40s. With his qualifications, he has never met Zhou Shaoyu.

"The Crown Prince of Nanhai, the Crown Prince of Zhou." Xie Ning hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty is well." Magistrate Chen saluted immediately.

"Okay, okay, my prince is in an emergency. I won't bother you anymore, and all etiquette will be waived." Zhou Shaoyu hurriedly said to Xie Yanyan, "There is a locust plague in the northwest, do you know?"

"do not know."

Xie Yanyan told the truth, Chu Xiwang said 4 days ago that locust swarms were in Xirong.

"Originally, the locust plague occurred in Xirong, but it was close to the border of Daqin the day before yesterday. Your Majesty is urgently collecting locust control measures."

Zhou Shaoyu finished speaking in one breath, looked at Xie Yanyan eagerly, and smiled beautifully, "I immediately thought of you."

"Want me to fry locusts for you to eat?"

"Ah?" Zhou Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile, "No! I thought you might have a way to get rid of the locusts."

County Magistrate Chen also received an emergency report. The emperor issued an order to control locusts. But who can control a disaster like locusts?

"Locusts fly over and no grass grows. Not only that, they also produce a large number of seeds, which can hatch in more than half a month. It is too difficult to eradicate." County magistrate Chen said in shock, "In the early years, Sichuan was rich. Just because of the locust plague, it turned into a deserted land."

Xie Yanyan was unmoved: "It can't be cured."

No one else can cure it, how can she...can cure it!
Zhou Shaoyu saw her suddenly stagnant, and immediately smiled and said, "You've been shopping for half a day, are you tired? Why don't we find a place to rest first? I'll leave in a moment."

Xie Yanyan looked at Li Rong.

Li Rongduo is very clever. What road are he rushing on? Is it important that the prince is on his way?
"It's okay, it's okay. We are already walking very fast and we can reach our destination within the scheduled time."

Well, find a place to rest.

County Magistrate Chen wanted to follow, why would Zhou Shaoyu ask him to follow?

Zhou Jin politely saluted County Magistrate Chen: "Magistrate Chen, please stop."

In the teahouse, Zhou Shaoyu, Xie Ning, and Xie Yanyan were seated, and Li Rong also pulled up a stool and sat next to him.

Zhou Shaoyu then said: "This locust plague in the northwest, King Xi will also go."

"Didn't he go to the fiefdom?"

"I don't know. He sent an urgent report of eight hundred miles to Your Majesty, saying that there is a way to control the locust plague." Zhou Shaoyu showed a rare seriousness, "On his way to the vassal, he sent people to go to the Wang family in Kuaiji to invite the king. The eldest son of the family is Wang Zhen."

Xie Yanyan immediately thought of Xie Xiangxiang's prophecy. She must have known that there was a locust plague in the northwest at this time in her previous life, and the Wang family in Kuaiji should be able to cure the disaster.

Xie Ning is a military commander and doesn't know anything about this. He doesn't know how to control the locust plague, and he doesn't know the Wang family in Kuaiji.

"Advisors from Kuaiji." Zhou Shaoyu said seriously, "Wang Zhen was recommended as a scholar when he was 16 years old, but later he did not accept the official recommendation. Instead, he continued to study hard at home. Some people say that he can see through the secrets of heaven and deduce destiny. Do you understand?"

Xie Yanyan asked him: "Does Your Majesty know this?"

"Xiu Yiwei found it out," Zhou Shaoyu said, "but King Xi explained that he invited Wang Zhen because Wang Zhen had the means to control the locust plague."

The embroidered guard reported the truth to the emperor, and the emperor had a headache.

Don’t believe King Xi, the locust plague is serious, and the entire northwest and even the Central Plains may be destroyed by the locust plague.

Believe King Xi?

Can you believe him?
After Zhou Shaoyu said this, he said to Xie Yanyan: "If you have a way, I will accompany you to the northwest. If the locust plague is controlled, with such a great achievement, your family will be free before entering the exile."

"It can't be cured." Xie Yanyan said with a serious face.

Her face is a high-level world-weary face. She is extremely beautiful, but extremely cold and difficult to get along with.

Stealing credit from King Xi? Do you think my family dies slowly?
Zhou Shaoyu blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. I am also eager to save millions of people from danger. I thought that you are wiser than men, and maybe there will be a good solution."

[What to do, she won’t accept the move]

[King Xi went to the northwest not to control the locust plague, but for other purposes]

[We must not let King Xi sit in that seat] Xie Yanyan suddenly asked: "How many days has King Xi been in the northwest?"

"He is honest and is still waiting for His Majesty's instructions."

No one was allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict, and the vassal king could not leave the fiefdom at will without the emperor's approval.

"Are there many people who reveal the emperor's list?"

"Not much. No one dares to joke about locust control, and the family can't afford to bet on it."

Zhou Shaoyu was afraid of King Xi, so he was able to invite Wang Zhen for a big purpose. Who knows whether he was to be a counselor or to control the locust plague?

He had fought with the prince and many times with King Xi, but since he was a child, he knew that King Xi was the one with the deepest palace.

What's more, King Xi tried again and again to use Zhou Shaoyu to kill three birds with one stone with the King and Emperor of Nanhai.

The prince was also very afraid. He did not want King Xi to be popular because of his control of the locust plague, nor did he want Wang Zhen to take the opportunity to tell his father that King Xi was the destined heir after he successfully controlled the locusts.

"I want to visit the northwest." Xie Yanyan said to Li Rong, "I will try my best to come back before the team reaches Lingnan."

Before Li Rong could speak, Zhou Shaoyu asked Xie Yanyan: "How long will it take to control locusts alone?"

"I don't know," Xie Yanyan thought for a moment about the pesticides she could exchange for, and said, "Just settle on five days for now."

Zhou Shaoyu's eyes suddenly lit up. She said five days, which means she must have a solution.

"To go from here to the northwest, it takes a horse to get there in one month. It will take five days to control the insects, two days of rest, and then return to catch up with you. It will be more than a month. Two and a half months is enough." Zhou Shaoyu settled the accounts for Li Rong.

It was estimated that it would take 7 months to get to Lingnan, and it would take more than 3 months to get here. They could come back in time, and Li Rong had no reason to hold Xie Yanyan captive.

Xie Ning saw that they just decided that his sister would go to control the locust plague, so he said, "I will go with my sister."

Zhou Shaoyu looked at Li Rong: "Is it okay?"

"Row."

There's nothing wrong with it. Anyway, I can get back before I go to the place of exile, and I have the Crown Prince of Zhou as my guarantor.

Li Rong said happily, "Xie Ning, why don't you tell your parents? I think your wife is about to give birth."

Yes, Xie Yanyan immediately said to Xie Ning: "Brother, you can't go. My sister-in-law is going to give birth in two months, so you can't go."

"My mother is taking care of me, and my father is here too. Master Li and the others can find a doctor to take care of them. I must follow you." He is a military commander and will protect his sister's safety on the road.

Prince Zhou often fights, and he doesn't know how good at martial arts he is, so he wouldn't worry about it.

Besides, my sister is a daughter who has not yet left the court, so how can she travel alone with her husband?

Xie Ning is determined to go, there is no doubt about it.

Xie Yanyan disagreed. Her sister-in-law was about to give birth and her nephew was young. How could she selfishly ask her brother to accompany her to fight locusts?
"No need to accompany me, I can protect myself."

"No." Xie Ning still disagreed.

"If that's the case, I won't go." Xie Yanyan said.

Zhou Shaoyu suddenly lost his temper: "You have to go!"
