Seeing the faces of the two guards, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion hurriedly explained.
"I am the steward of the Ding Mansion. Do you know the current Minister of Rites?" the steward asked.
The two guards nodded.
"I am the steward of the Minister of Rites. I came here to meet your master on the orders of my master," the steward said.
"You wait." After saying this, the guard hurriedly ran towards the mansion.
He ran all the way to the study room where Master Cen Wenxing was.
"Master! Master!" the guard shouted and ran into the study.
Hearing someone shouting, the heart of Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, beat very fast. When he looked up, he saw that it was the guard at the door of his house.
"What's the matter? Are you panicking?" He said the guard was panicked, but actually he was also a little panicked inside.
"Master, there is someone looking for you outside. He is the housekeeper of Ding Mansion and he wants to see you." The guard said.
"Ding Mansion? Which Ding Mansion?" Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, asked.
Perhaps because he knew too many people named Ding, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, did not immediately know which Ding mansion it was.
"Go back to the master, he said he is the steward of the Minister of Rites." The guard said.
"The Minister of Rites." After muttering to himself, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, then asked, "What brings him here?"
The guard shook his head and looked at the master, waiting for instructions.
"Go, invite him here, and let me see what he wants from me."
"yes."
Following the master's instructions, the guard hurried out and ran towards the door of the mansion.
At this time, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion, who was waiting anxiously at the gate of Cen Mansion, finally saw the guard running back.
After seeing the housekeeper of Ding Mansion, the guard came over and said, "Our master has invited me, come with me."
"Hey." After responding, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion followed the guard and walked in.
After quickly admiring the surrounding flowers and plants, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion was taken to the study of Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"Master, we are here," the guard said.
After hearing this, Cen Wenxing raised his head, looked at the guard in front of him, and said, "Go down."
"Yes." After responding, the guard walked out of the study and closed the door of the study.
Seeing the guard leaving and looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar man in front of him, Cen Wenxing said, "Sit down."
"Okay." After the housekeeper of Ding Mansion sat down, he spoke: "Cen Shangshu, my master asked me to come here because I want to ask Cen Shangshu something."
"Say it." Cen Wenxing looked at the housekeeper of Ding Mansion.
At this time, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion said: "My master would like to ask if Cen Shangshu has come up with this method to control the locust plague?"
After hearing this, Cen Wenxing smiled slightly: "Is this just why your master asked you to come here?"
The housekeeper of Ding Mansion nodded.
After thinking about it, just when Cen Wenxing was about to tell him, he asked out of curiosity: "At this hour, shouldn't your master be in the palace?"
The housekeeper of the Ding Mansion sighed and said: "Cen Shangshu didn't know something. It was because of this that my master was asked to return to the mansion by Zuo Xiang. He said that if he couldn't think of any solution within three days, he would ask me to file a lawsuit and return the favor." Township."
After hearing this, Cen Wenxing was able to understand and said: "I have been thinking about it day and night in this house these days, but I just can't think of a good way. Now the imperial court's national power is simply unable to solve this problem. About the locust plague. Your master also knows that the court is most concerned about the rebellion of the people in Guangnan."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"This matter also requires money and food. Now the imperial court is trying to use all the money and food to suppress the rebellious people. I don't know where to collect the money and food for this locust plague. It is not yet the harvest season of Damo."
After listening to Cen Shangshu's words, the housekeeper of Ding Mansion stood up: "Since you have done what my master told you, I will not disturb Cen Shangshu's thinking."
"Okay. You walk slowly and don't see me off."
"Eh."
After walking out of the Cen Mansion, the housekeeper of the Ding Mansion hurried towards the Ding Mansion.
Walking quickly, the housekeeper hurriedly walked into the mansion and headed towards the master's study.
After hearing the housekeeper's movements, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, raised his thoughtful head and looked anxiously towards the door of the study.
After a while, the door opened and the butler approached.
Before the housekeeper could come up to him, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, asked anxiously: "What's going on? Has he thought of a way?"
After closing the door, the housekeeper shook his head and took a few steps forward.
"What did he tell you?" Master Ding asked again.
"He said that the current imperial court is most concerned about the rebellion of the people in Guangnan. The imperial court focuses all its money and food on suppressing the rebellious people. With today's national power, it is impossible to collect money and food to solve the locust plague. Moreover, it has not yet reached this point. Harvest season." The steward told Cen Shangshu just now.
Listening to the steward's words, Ding Liu understood that this long series of words meant that there was no way to collect the money and food for the locust plague.
After thinking about it, Ding Liu, the Minister of Rites, said to himself anxiously: "There is no other way, but if I can't think of it within three days, won't my official security be forfeited?"
Seeing the master like this, the housekeeper standing by was at a loss of words and didn't know what to say to comfort him.
"Go down and leave me alone."
"Hey." The housekeeper closed the door and walked out.
More than a day later, Chunxu and Lin Xubai, who were at the border of Guangnan, had led their troops to Yishifu City.
After many days of exposure to the sun, the corpses of the common people and brothers lying outside the city gate and inside the city gate already gave off an unpleasant smell.
Seeing this, the eyes of the brothers who followed became red. After all, such a scene was really unbearable to watch.
Chunxu, the leader standing in front, was already more worried about Ziyuan.
After all, this battle was not only fought for his own revenge, but mostly for Zi Yuan.
If something goes wrong, everything you do will be of little use.
"Let's go." Chunxu said.
A little more than 30,000 brothers followed the leader and general Lin Xubai and walked towards the city.
Entering the city, the smell became stronger and stronger.
There were corpses scattered everywhere.
After passing the corpses one after another, Chunxu finally reached the government office.
Outside the government office, corpses were strewn all over the street. All kinds of blood stains stained the entire street, and the gate of the government office was also stained with some blood.
Seeing the bright red blood on the yamen door made Chunxu even more panicked.
I saw Chunxu running towards the government office in a hurry, shouting as he ran.
"Zi Yuan! Zi Yuan!"
"Xi Ran! Xi Ran!"
"Uncle Sheng! Uncle Sheng!"
While shouting, Chunxu opened the doors of the yamen to look for them.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
traces.
Lin Xubai and several brothers helped Chunxu find it.
After searching for a long time and calling out hundreds of times, Ziyuan and the others were nowhere to be seen in the Yamen.
At this time, Chunxu was completely panicked and anxious and didn't know what to do.
Over the years, Chunxu has long regarded Ziyuan and Zuo Xiran as his family. Now that Ziyuan and Zuo Xiran have disappeared, Chunxu is so anxious.
Seeing Brother Chunxu's anxious look, Lin Xubai comforted him: "Brother Chunxu, don't worry, we will definitely find him."
Listening to General Lin's comfort, the little helper Lin Baiyang on the side came to comfort him: "Uncle, Ziyuan and the others will be fine. Maybe they are hiding somewhere."
Listening to the words of the two people and looking at the bright red blood stains on the yamen door, Chunxu's heart could not calm down.
I saw Chunxu squatting down anxiously, sighing heavily, squatting on the ground at a loss.
Lin Xubai and Lin Baiyang on the side didn't know what to say to comfort them, so they could only try not to disturb or talk.
As everyone knows, two armies are heading towards Yishifu City at this time.
These two armies were the newly appointed governor of Guangnan Province, Feng Zishi, and the governor of Huguang Province, Song Yangbing.
Looking at this appearance, there are about six thousand people.
Although the newly appointed governor of Guangnan, Feng Zishi, has more than 4,000 people, and the governor of Huguang, Song Yangbing, also has more than 4,000 people. The total should be more than 8,000 people, but when he came out of Nanning Mansion, the governor of Huguang, Song Yangbing , according to the plan, he gave his three thousand people to Governor Guo of Nanzhong Province.
Today, the newly appointed governor of Guangnan Province and the governor of Huguang Province have only a little over 6,000 troops combined.
Chunxu and Lin Xubai's brothers have more than 40,000 people. If Chunxu and Lin Xubai's brothers use all their strength to fight against the two governors' troops, they will definitely win.
However, if the soldiers of the two governors are very capable in combat, it is not certain whether Chunxu and his brothers can defeat them.
In short, as I said before, don't underestimate the enemy, otherwise you will end up like Governor Tao of Nanzhong Province.
Seeing the enemy coming, Lin Xubai's assistant Yu Zhi hurriedly ran towards the government office.
At this time, Chunxu was still worried about Ziyuan and Xiran.
"General! Take the lead! Oh no, an enemy is coming!" Yu Zhi shouted as he ran.
After hearing the sound, Chunxu raised his head and looked at the hurried people in front of him.
"How many people are there?" Lin Xubai asked.
"General, there are not many, less than ten thousand people." Yu Zhi said.
After listening, Lin Xubai looked at Chunxu on the side, waiting for what Chunxu would say.
As soon as he heard about the enemy and thought about Ziyuan, Chunxu suddenly felt filled with hatred.
"Just in time, beat these cruel people when they come." After Dao, looking at the brothers around him, Chunxu shouted: "Brothers! The enemy is almost here now! You have also seen that these common people are being What have these imperial soldiers done? These innocent people who sacrificed their lives cannot be allowed to die in vain! We are a team that works for the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and we cannot let the people who support us feel cold!" After Dao, Seeing that the enemy has not yet arrived, Chunxu added: "Brothers! Hold on to our weapons! Fight with these inhumane enemies!"
When Chunxu shouted, the brothers outside responded one after another.
"Fight it! Fight it!"
After shouting a few times, Chun Xu, Lin Xubai and their brothers met the enemy outside the city.
