At the yamen, Zhang Xiaoluo and the others had just arrived, and Xue Zhengping and the other two happened to come back.

"Have you found anything?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"No, Kong Youwei has been visiting the market, but he has bought a lot of corn."

"Strangely, he asked for both corn leaves and corn rods." Xue Zhengping said.

"It's corn leaves and corn poles again!" Zhang Xiaoluo narrowed his eyes.

He didn't say it in front of the four storytellers just now. Corn leaves are one of the locusts' favorite foods!

When things came to this point, Zhang Xiaoluo probably had some clues in his heart.

"It seems that things are a bit serious." Zhang Xiaoluo said in a deep voice.

"Go and tell Nie Jiazhen. Anyway, just let Nie Jiazhen worry about this." Qin Ren said.

"That's right." Zhang Xiaoluo nodded, then went to find Nie Jiazhen.

However, Nie Jiazhen was not in his room, but took the remaining black cavalry out to investigate the whereabouts of the locusts.

"Are we waiting for him to come back here?" Qin Ren asked.

"Let's wait." Zhang Xiaoluo nodded.

However, when it was dark, Nie Jiazhen and the others had not come back yet.

Zhang Xiaoluo realized something was wrong. He was about to get up and leave, but Kong Youwei suddenly pushed the door and entered.

"Is Mr. Nie not here?" Kong Youwei asked.

"I haven't come back yet, Lord Kong has something to ask Lord Nie?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoluo found that Kong Youwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after receiving the affirmative reply that Nie Jiazhen had not yet returned.

Kong Youwei, are you worried about something?

"Then why don't you go for a meal first?" Kong Youwei said.

"That's fine." Zhang Xiaoluo nodded.

In order to wait for Nie Jiazhen, they didn't even eat lunch, and their stomachs were already roaring hungry.

At the dining table, Zhang Xiaoluo's eyes fell on a plate of roasted corn next to him.

"This corn is so sweet. Dangencheng is rich in corn?" Zhang Xiaoluo picked up the roasted corn, took a bite, and then asked.

"That's not, the soil in Dang'en City is particularly suitable for corn growth."

"The corn here is soft, glutinous and sweet, and it won't stick to teeth!" Kong Youwei said with a smile.

"The grass and trees outside the city have been burned to pieces. The soil will definitely be more fertile next year, and the corn for the next year will definitely be better than this year." Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"I'll lend you auspicious words." Kong Youwei said with a smile.

"Master Kong." Zhang Xiaoluo broke off two corn grains, put them on the table, and tapped the table with his fingers a few times.

"Hmm? What does this mean?" Kong Youwei asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Sir Kong, is your heart like this or this?"

The two corn that Zhang Xiaoluo broke off, one was white, and the other was baked and black.

Zhang Xiaoluo pointed at two black and white corns with his fingers.

Kong Youwei's pupils shrank, and a hint of panic flashed across his face.

"What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean." Kong Youwei said.

Zhang Xiaoluo couldn't help it after all, and didn't wait until Nie Jiazhen came back because he felt that Nie Jiazhen might have encountered an unexpected situation.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoluo felt that he would take the initiative and test Kong Youwei.

"I bought so much corn, and I didn't even miss the corn leaves and corn poles. Lord Kong is really a benchmark for diligence and thrift," said Zhang Xiaoluo.

"What do you mean? You might as well say it!" Kong Youwei slapped the table and stood up.

The five black cavalry beside Zhang Xiaoluo also immediately stood up and pulled out the black cavalry's exclusive weapon and a silent sword.

Seeing this, the yamen runner behind Kong Youwei immediately pulled out a big knife and protected Kong Youwei behind him.

"Put down the knife." Zhang Xiaoluo signaled the Black Knight to put down the silent knife.

The five black riders took back their silent swords and stood behind Zhang Xiaoluo.

"Sir Kong, why do you want to cover up the locust demon?"

Zhang Xiaoluo looked at Kong Youwei with his eyes.

Kong Youwei's obvious heart tightened, his eyes were a little flustered, he looked around and said absent-mindedly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Corn leaves are locusts' favorite!"

"I asked you yesterday if you saw locusts, but you said there were no one? There were so many grass and trees outside the city, and there were obvious signs of being eaten by locusts, but you actually said that you didn't see a single locust?"

"All signs indicate that Lord Kong, you are lying!" Zhang Xiaoluo said.

Kong Youwei was suddenly in a mess, his lips squirmed, but he didn't spit a word, and he didn't seem to know what to say to defend himself.

With a thud!

After a long time, Kong Youwei actually knelt down.

"I...I am guilty! I am sorry to Your Majesty, I am sorry to Chen State!" Kong Youwei covered his face and cried bitterly.

"Sir Kong, what's going on?" Zhang Xiaoluo frowned and asked.

"It's the locust demon, he...he captured my family to threaten me!" Kong Youwei finally revealed the truth.

"Sure enough! That locust demon is now hiding in Dangen City?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked.

"It should be no longer here now. Maybe I'll go outside the city and intercept Lord Nie and the others. Lord Nie hasn't come back yet, so I'm afraid the locust demon has... succeeded." Kong Youwei said with his lips trembling.

Zhang Xiaoluo stood up at once. The strength of the locust demon was extraordinary. Nie Jiazhen alone, although he had twenty-five black cavalry helpers, he was afraid that he was still not the opponent of the locust demon!

"Go outside the city!" Zhang Xiaoluo immediately issued an order.

"Xiao Luo!" Qin Ren grabbed Zhang Xiao Luo.

"We are no match for the locust demon." Qin Ren shook his head at Zhang Xiaoluo.

"But Lord Nie?" Zhang Xiaoluo's eyes were full of worry.

"Mr. Nie should not have encountered any unexpected accidents, but is just avoiding the pursuit of locust demons! With Master Nie's strength, I believe that even if he can't beat him, he will still be more than enough to escape." Qin Ren said.

Zhang Xiaoluo thought about it carefully and this should be the case.

It is impossible to become the number one among the Black Riders without any means.

"Go back to bring reinforcements?" Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"Let Xue Zhengping go back and find someone, we will stay here and find a way to rescue Lord Kong's family." Qin Ren said.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaoluo nodded.

"Thank you both! Thank you! Thank you!"

Kong Youwei knelt down again and thanked the two of them repeatedly.

"It's still a big deal to save your family. When you really rescue your family, you can thank us well." Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"Where is your family being locked up?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked again.

"I'll take you there!" Kong Youwei said, and immediately ordered someone to prepare the carriage.

"Do you, every once in a while, send corn leaves and corn poles?" Zhang Xiaoluo asked suddenly.

"Yes! I will send them to specific places, and my family is also locked up there!" Kong Youwei nodded.

"When you send corn leaves again, we will go with you!" Zhang Xiaoluo said.

"Ah? Is this... possible?" Kong Youwei felt a little dangerous.

"This will not alarm the snake. If you go now, it will be easy to alarm the locusts." Zhang Xiaoluo said.

Those locusts should be the clones of the locust demon. These clones are now living in Dangen City, and use control of Kong Youwei to obtain food and energy.

After these clones have obtained sufficient energy, the locust demon should come back to devour these clones, and then leave some clones to obtain food and energy.

The locust demon relies on the thousands of clones scattered all over the place to obtain energy and bring it back to the body to continuously strengthen itself.

Moreover, the locust demon's demon pill may be hidden in one of the thousands of clones, and it is not necessarily in the body, which also makes it disappear.

Destroying the locust demon has become extremely difficult!

Because even if you destroy his body, but his demon pill is still there, he can be reborn with the demon pill! As long as you cultivate for a period of time, you can recover to the peak again!

"Then I'll go and prepare. I'll send another corn leaf to my side tomorrow." Kong Youwei looked a little impatient.

He has been threatened for too long and has been mentally stressed. Now Zhang Xiaoluoken helps to rescue his family, and he seems to have seen the savior!

Zhang Xiaoluo nodded, and then several people swept away the dishes on the table and ended the supper.

"What are you doing?" When you were about to return to your residence, Zhang Xiaoluo asked the five black riders to go back first, but he stopped with Qin Ren.
