Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, still knowing something in their hearts. They knew that if they pretended to be silent at this time, they would probably be beaten up by Li Shimin.
Among them, only Cheng Yaojin, who is in the middle of the Great Heavenly Rank, can block a little bit. Of course, this is just a block.
Li Shimin is very talented, and he is self-taught in martial arts.
He created the Innate Qiankun Kung by himself, cultivated both internally and externally, and inherited the Dragon Qi of the Tang Dynasty. His cultivation has already reached the Great Heavenly Status!
He once consulted Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, and then studied day and night for several months. He finally understood the principles of Yin and Yang Bagua, and then created the majestic innate Qiankun Gong.
"Changsun Wuji, tell me!"
Li Shimin pointed directly at Changsun Wuji and asked him to speak.
"Uh...this..." Changsun Wuji hiccupped for a long time and didn't know where to start.
Li Shimin patted him.
"I know what you are worried about. Based on our relationship, even if you get involved in royal affairs in the future, I will not embarrass you."
"Brother Shimin, if you want to say that, then I have a trick!"
At this brother's cry, the corner of Li Shimin's eye twitched visibly.
Li Shimin looked at Cheng Yaojin and said, "Tell me."
Cheng Yaojin said with a smile: "They are just locusts. Let's set them on fire. Wherever there are many, we can light fires. I don't believe that locusts can survive under the raging fire!"
Li Shimin rolled his eyes and asked, "What if there are locusts in the forest?"
"burn!"
"What if it's in the fields?"
"burn!"
"What if it's in the palace?"
"Burn! Don't hesitate, I can take the lead!"
"You're the leader! You bastard." Li Shimin looked helpless and held his forehead in distress.
"If everything is burned down, I don't know if the locusts will be wiped out, but the people must be starving to death! This year has finally become more stable. Do you want to go back to the time of war and the people are not hungry?"
Cheng Yaojin scratched his face, and then his eyes glowed, as if he had thought of something.
"Then I have another trick!"
"Shut up!" Li Shimin scolded: "Brother Cheng, you are really my eldest brother, you...you let me say something good about you!"
This time Cheng Yaojin acted recklessly, but he was loyal. Even if he said disrespectful words, Li Shimin would have nowhere to vent his anger.
This is a piece of meat on a hob, put in front of you, you can’t hit it, you won’t listen to it! It makes people both happy and hateful!
"Then I don't know how to deal with it. You can ask them."
Cheng Yaojin spread his hands and looked at a few people, his head drooped.
Li Shimin sighed heavily.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, there is a message from a messenger!"
A long and narrow shout came from outside the hall.
A eunuch was outside the hall, holding a letter in his hands.
Li Shimin said indifferently: "Whose letter?"
The eunuch replied: "Your Majesty, this is a letter from Yuan Tiangang!"
Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he heard the name!
But since he was surrounded by brothers who were fighting against him, he still pretended to be indifferent and said: "Send it up!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The eunuch quickly handed the letter to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin opened it and started to watch.
[The leader has been settled. I and Li Chunfeng are on their way back. I know about the locust plague. Your Majesty, don’t worry. You have your own solution. 】
[One more thing, I met a destined brother on the road, his name is Li Yunxiao. This person has purple energy and great luck, and can help your majesty to create a prosperous Tang Dynasty! 】
【——Yuan Tiangang】
"Li Yunxiao..."
Li Shimin read the name silently.
The Li family is in the sky.
This name made Li Shimin frown slightly.
Li Shimin believed Xuan Shuo more, and this name made him feel a little unhappy.
But after a moment, his brows softened. Since it was Yuan Tiangang who said it, he would see it no matter what.
After reading it, Li Shimin pretended to be disappointed and waved his hand: "You all can go, I want to be alone for a while."
Changsun Wuji's eyes were moving, and Li Shimin's expression was well hidden, but Changsun Wuji still noticed a slight movement.
There are only a few people who can make Li Shimin's eyes light up in an instant, and among them, the one who has attracted much attention recently is Yuan Tiangang.
Without saying anything, everyone bowed and turned to leave.
When Cheng Yaojin walked to the door, he suddenly stopped and turned around and shouted: "Your Majesty, if you use my method..."
"Roll, roll, roll!"
Li Shimin waved his hand impatiently.
Burning the wheat field together, it's a shame he could come up with such a method!
After Li Shimin saw a few people leaving, he sat on the steps and stared at the letter in a daze.
"I hope there is a way to solve this matter..."
For him, the locust plague is an opportunity to regain the hearts and minds of the people. If it is handled properly, the fear among the people will be silenced or even eliminated.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Shimin had not met several times. At the beginning of the period, he was recommended by Sun Simiao, the king of medicine.
Sun Simiao described Yuan Tiangang as miraculous, saying that he was first-class in terms of medical skills, kung fu, military formations, and mystical physiognomy.
After briefly meeting several times, Li Shimin also believed Sun Simiao's words.
I just don’t know who Li Yunxiao is and what ability he has to help him.
...
Six days later.
Three figures appeared outside Chang'an City. After passing by the city gate guards for inspection, they entered Chang'an City.
"Brother Yunxiao, we are going to meet His Majesty in a moment. There is something not good about you looking so desperate."
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng led their horses on the ground.
Li Yunxiao, on the other hand, was lying on the horse's back, not wanting to move.
Li Yunxiao said feebly: "You still dare to say that? You are really good at it. Now I really know you, Brother Li."
Six days... In just six days, Li Chunfeng spent three hundred taels of silver in various ways!
Yuan Tiangang seemed to have known about it for a long time and bought a lot of food in advance.
Along the way, the three of them all ate dry biscuits without any oil or water at all.
Yuan Tiangang is at the peak of his heavenly status, and he won't feel too uncomfortable even if he doesn't eat for two days.
When Li Chunfeng was in the early stage of the Great Heavenly Throne, he could hold up for half a day just by eating anything.
Only him! Except for the first day after he was promoted to the mid-star level, his improvement in these days was extremely slow. Moreover, he has been riding a horse these days. For Li Yunxiao, who is not very good at riding, this is simply a hell-level difficulty at the beginning.
According to Li Chunfeng, having copper on your body smells bad, so you should spend it as soon as possible.
Li Yunxiao swore that he would never let Li Chunfeng take the money again, otherwise he would have to die somewhere else.
Li Chunfeng laughed when he heard Li Yunxiao complaining.
"If the wealth is not gone, it will not come. Brother Yunxiao, everything is settled. Look, aren't we in Chang'an now?"
Li Yunxiao didn't want to pay attention to him, so he just lay on the horse and said nothing.
Yuan Tiangang looked at the people outside, his eyes always showing solemnity.
Li Chunfeng asked from the side: "But for the locust plague?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded.
"Now is the period of development of the Tang Dynasty. The locust plague is coming. If the people cannot survive, I am afraid that the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be delayed for a long time, and many people will die..."
"Hey, there is nothing to be afraid of locusts, really."
Li Yunxiao's voice came from the horseback. Yuan Tiangang stopped, turned around and asked, "What? Do you have any idea?"
Li Yunxiao gained some energy, got off his horse and said, "Of course, who am I?"
"Let me show you. Can any of you buy me some locusts? I'll see what they look like first."
"Buy locusts?"
Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang were both stunned.
How can something as harmful as locusts be used as a trade object? Where to buy?
Yuan Tiangang looked around with slightly focused eyes, and then saw the locusts among the two children.
Light golden inner energy appeared in his palm.
Uh-huh!
The next moment, the children who were playing with locusts were stunned!
They watched helplessly as two locusts were fighting, and suddenly one of them was gone!
Yuan Tiangang handed the locust to Li Yunxiao: "Let's take a look."
Li Yunxiao began to watch carefully.
In my memory, there are many types of locusts. There is one type called the Yellow-ridged Bamboo Locust. They are edible when scattered, but when gathered together, they are poisonous.
They release the compound phenylacetonitrile, which is moderately toxic and can cause birds and poultry to avoid eating it.
If this gas is inhaled, the consequences will be very serious, including headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, respiratory tract irritation, loss of consciousness and other symptoms. In more serious cases, it will directly cause death!
The one in Li Yunxiao's hands was obviously not a yellow-spine bamboo locust. It had a green to dark brown body, a short and wide head, a nearly vertical face, filamentous antennae, and a scattered pronotum with a raised line in the middle.
East Asian migratory locusts, also known as grasshoppers and grasshoppers, can eat!
And this kind of locusts will not produce any toxin when they gather together.
Seeing this, Li Yunxiao already had a plan in mind.
The two of them looked at Li Yunxiao's confident look and were curious about what solution he had thought of.
"Brother Yunxiao must have figured out a way?"
"That's right, come with me."
As he said that, Li Yunxiao took the two of them to a roadside stall. The hut was not big, and there was a frying pan outside, frying something.
Li Yuan and Li Yuan understood what Li Yunxiao was going to do the moment they saw the pot.
"Brother Yuan, Brother Yunxiao doesn't want to eat it?"
Yuan Tiangang didn't reply. He took out the remaining two taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The store owner asked: "What do you two want to eat?"
Yuan Tiangang did not speak, but looked at Li Yunxiao.
Li Yunxiao put the grasshopper into the oil pan.
The store owner was instantly furious!
His big pot of oil was expensive, so how could he put the worms in the pot?
Although two taels of silver were enough to buy a large pot of oil, if word spread about this, would he still be able to continue his business?
"you...."
"Don't worry, boss. This is a fake. It's made of flour. If you don't believe it, look at it. I'll eat it soon!"
After hearing Li Yunxiao's words and looking at the other party's indifferent expression, the boss believed him.
After a moment, the locust was fried to a crisp. Li Yunxiao took it out, blew on it twice and put it in his mouth.
Zhiqua~zhiqua~
"Hmm~~~It smells so good~~~"
"Where can I find such nourishing and strong foods that can help Yang and strengthen the body?"
“The protein contained in it is at least several times that of beef of the same volume!”
