Early morning three days later, in the northern fourth district of Lieyang City.
After coming to Lieyang City, Xia Yi in the North District is the least visited, because in Lieyang City's distribution, there are many restaurants and brothels in the East District, the Shengyuan Prefecture's official residence and government offices are in the West District, and there are many residential buildings in the South District.
The North District is the most sparsely populated.
Because there are mostly large fields here.
However, the information received this morning caused Xia Yi, Prefect Sun Sheng, and the Marquis Song Qu to rush here as quickly as possible.
Bending down to pick up a half-eaten ear of corn, Xia Yi threw it away and looked at the fallen corn stalks across his field of vision.
"It's the autumn harvest season, so we've really suffered heavy losses this time," he sighed.
"The governor of the state must find a way to appease these farmers who have lost their livelihood, otherwise there may be quite a bit of unrest."
According to reports, tens of thousands of rats swarmed in the early hours of this morning, destroying most of the crops in the northern district of Lieyang City!
Sun Sheng's face was so ugly that he almost shed tears.
"I have sent someone to trouble Senior Fang Yu to come over. Senior Fang Yu has mastered the five-star Holy Spirit Art of Helping Agriculture and Elevating the People, and can save these crops as much as possible. But... no matter what, in the next year, , Lieyang City may not be able to be self-sufficient, I will coordinate with the other six cities in Zhizhou to provide people and material support."
Sun Sheng said solemnly: "But the most critical issue now is that we have to find a way to find Duan He's traces. This is too passive. Lieyang City is too big and we cannot take care of every aspect!"
Xia Yi has sent a task to Shi Lai, but players are not omnipotent. The mouse is good at hiding its traces, and even he has no way to do it. Naturally, it will be difficult for Shi Lai to find it.
Looking at the mess around him, Xia Yi showed some thought and said, "If we want to find him, we must first analyze his purpose."
"Purpose?"
"Ah, don't you think it's strange? He released the rat labor technique indiscriminately and controlled rats to destroy farmland. After Duan He came to Lieyang City, it seemed that he was destroying for the sake of destruction." Xia Yi said: "If it were a thousand years ago, The demon clan indeed destroys for the sake of destruction, but times are different now."
"What's more, Duan He is half-human and half-demon, and he once served as an aide in the prime minister's office. He is quite intelligent. Doesn't he know that this will only usher in a more violent counterattack? Doesn't he know that he might usher in the king's surrender?"
Sun Sheng and Song Qu were thoughtful.
Xia Yi continued: "What's more, you should understand how serious the injury is when the king loses one of his three souls. It has only been three days, not three months. Why is he holding on to the damage to his three souls at the cost of losing one of them?" To reach the realm of cultivation, to command the rats to destroy farmland?"
"There's something wrong." Song Qu responded.
Sun Sheng asked: "What do you think, senior, is Duan He's purpose?"
"It's because I couldn't guess it for a while that I asked you to analyze it together." Xia Yi shook his head and said: "But no matter what, it must have something to do with another demon king Zhou Lizhu. Compared with Duan He, Zhou Lizhu It should be easier to find."
"Let people search for them first. Calculating the time, the guards of the second prince should return to the capital Nanji. If the king can surrender, let the king search the whole city with the power of the holy soul, and the crisis will be solved."
Sun Sheng nodded slightly, then heard the hurried footsteps coming from behind him, and turned around.
It was his bodyguard who came to look for Zhizhou Bo Fangyu's bodyguard, but there was no sign of Fangyu around the bodyguard.
"Sir, Mr. Zhou Bo is sick."
"Are you sick? Is it serious?" Sun Sheng looked tense and asked immediately.
The guard bowed his head and replied: "I don't know, I know. I haven't been able to see Mr. Zhou Bo, but according to the steward of Mr. Zhou Bo's house... Mr. Zhou Bo fell ill two days ago, and his condition doesn't seem to be good."
"...Is this so?" Sun Sheng sighed and waved his hand to the guards to go down.
"The house leaks only when it rains all night."
He turned back to Xia Yisong Channel: "Five-star Yuheng has a lifespan of 200. If I remember correctly, Senior Fang Yu is already 198 years old. He should not have been allowed to participate in the rat eradication campaign a few days ago."
"It seems that these farmlands cannot rely on his skills to improve the people. I will try my best to mobilize monks who master agricultural scriptures and other holy spirits to help farmers. I can save as much as I can. Later, I will go to Mr. Zhoubo's house to visit him. Visit him."
"Master Zhoushou, go and do your work." Xia Yi nodded: "After being away for so long, there may be new magicians in the East Second District. I'll go back and take a look."
…
Nanji City, Royal Palace Hall.
Because of the news from Hu Er, King Zheng went to court today after a long absence, and the dispute among the officials in the court had continued all morning.
"Your Majesty, it is not a simple matter to respectfully ask the king to surrender. The last time the king respectfully requested the king to surrender was from the Kingdom of Wu seventy years ago. Although the king helped their royal family calm down the civil strife after his arrival, it also made the Wei Dynasty see clearly Their insincerity caused the Wu State to become the weakest of the seven countries at this time, and almost became a vassal of the Wei Dynasty. This is a lesson from the past!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, both Qi and Liao are eyeing me, Da Zheng. You must not ask the king to surrender because of some unfounded things!"
A minister loudly exhorted.
There was another wave of objections: "His Second Highness has always been generous and honest. The news sent back by his guards should not be exaggerated. Only the king can kill the king. This is a recognized fact for thousands of years. If you do not ask the king to surrender, , who can kill the rat demon king, are you going?!"
“The king’s clear vision!!”
Prince Zheng, who had been called repeatedly, was currently hugging two beauties on the left and right, flirting with them in the palace hall without any care, and groping with their hands under their clothes.
He looks like he is only in his twenties. Although he is recognized as a tyrant by the world, he can win the throne from a group of brothers. He is certainly not useless. He has just turned 60 years old and has already become a six-star Kaiyang Qiang. By!
If it weren't for the rule that the king should not exceed a hundred, his sons would not actually have to fight for the throne.
Prince Zheng was also very handsome in appearance, with a tall figure and a handsome face, especially his dark emerald eyes. The strange color was like an aphrodisiac. Although most of the three thousand beauties in his harem were forcibly recruited by him, He came here, but after getting along for a long time, he actually fell in love with him.
He ignored the dispute in the court and teased the two women in his arms until they fell softly against him. When he heard the voices in the court gradually dying down, he raised his head and said, "What do you think, Prime Minister Han?"
The voice is deep and magnetic.
Han Chuanzhong took a step forward and held his hand.
"I lied, and you really need to be very careful when requesting the king to surrender. But I have the courage to forgive you. I still have doubts about Mr. Duan being the demon king. Maybe the Second Highness has just been deceived by a bad person!"
"I suggest that His Excellency Yue Ming of Sky Dark Star lead a team to Lieyang City to find out the truth! If Mr. Duan is really causing trouble, I should be punished!"
"Xiang Han's words are serious. You have worked day and night for Gu's world. How can I punish you?" King Zheng smiled evilly and said, "It's the right reward. When I heard that your daughter lost her husband and her son, I cried all day long.
Washing your face, Gu is deeply heartbroken for Prime Minister Han, why not call her into the palace and let Gu come and comfort her?"
"Your Majesty is joking. My daughter is already over forty years old, and her flowers are in ruins." Han Chuanzhong said expressionlessly: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
"Alas." King Zheng sighed: "A forty-year-old woman has a unique style. Forget it, since Prime Minister Han doesn't want to, I won't force you. Alas, Prime Minister Han is just a talented person, so why not have more daughters?
What a pity, what a pity.”
He picked up the two women and turned away.
Just leave one sentence.
"Just do what Prime Minister Han said. Remember to ask Yue Ming to help you find out what happened to the brothel oiran who made Zhao Qiong so crazy."
"If it's acceptable, bring it back."
"No, Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" A royal censor Yan Guan knelt down and said, "Tiangang Stars will not be the opponent of the Demon King. If Your Excellency Yue Ming is unable to cope with it, it may cause a catastrophe!"
After remonstrating loudly, he suddenly felt that the whole hall was silent. He raised his head slightly and found that everyone was looking at him with pity on their faces.
"I've never seen you before, what's your name? Forget it, it's not important."
