Under the big tree outside the small courtyard of the Han family.

One old and one young were silent.

In the end, Qin Qiong broke the calm, he looked up at the sky, and said:

"It's not early, call Shangzhijie, let's go back to Chang'an."

With that, he walked towards the courtyard gate, leaving behind a bleak back.

Li Zexuan looked at this old man who had fought for the country all his life, and he couldn't bear it, seeing that Qin Qiong was about to walk to the courtyard gate, he said loudly: "Uncle Qin stays, the little nephew will tell you the truth!" ”

Qin Qiong turned around suddenly, and then walked over, he looked at Li Zexuan, nodded with satisfaction, and after saying "good boy", he stood quietly to the side and listened to Li Zexuan continue.

Li Zexuan pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Qin, in fact, the reason why I raise so many chickens is mainly because of a prophecy left by my master before his death, my master said that next June, there will be an unprecedented locust plague in Datang...............

…………

With Li Zexuan's story, Qin Qiong's face became more and more serious, and after Li Zexuan finished telling his father that night, Qin Qiong was extremely ugly, and couldn't hold back anymore, pointing at Li Zexuan and scolding angrily:

"Shaft! Why didn't you tell Your Majesty about such a big matter earlier, and you could bear to watch the people of other states and counties starve to death when the locust plague came? The old man only found out today that you Li Zexuan is so hard-hearted, what good is it for you to let the people starve to death? Do you, a fairy child, really want to be a fairy? ”

Qin Qiong's words were heart-wrenching, Li Zexuan was immediately stabbed all over the body, he thought about all the efforts he had made in the past few months, and was finally criticized by Qin Qiong as selfish, the grievances and anger in his heart suddenly erupted, he couldn't hold back anymore, and roared angrily:

"Are you willing to hide it as a brat? If the little nephew tells His Majesty the truth, how can His Majesty believe me? Maybe it will also offend my family and affect the parents of my little nephew. In addition, once this matter comes out, it will inevitably cause panic among the people, and when the time comes, countless people will frantically grab food, which will definitely lead to soaring food prices and boiling public resentment. ”

Qin Qiong's face was stunned when she heard this, and Li Zexuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued:

"The locust plague is just my master's prophecy, if the locust plague does not come by then, won't the people of the world worry in vain, and the little nephew will definitely be pointed out by thousands of people at that time, and he will be infamous for eternity. I'm fine, it's a big deal like my master, living in seclusion and being an idle crane, but what about my father and sister? They will continue to live in the land of Datang. And do you really think that the little nephew can bear to watch the people suffer? If this is the case, then why should the kid raise 150,000 chicken seedlings in Hanjiazhuang and Meicun? Are you hard-hearted when you are a brat? Like you, my little nephew loves the land of Datang and the people of Datang, and my little nephew also wants to save them very much..."

After Li Zexuan finished speaking, he exhaled a long breath, leaned against the trunk of the tree dejectedly, closed his eyes, and stopped speaking.

Qin Qiong stood in place, her face was complicated, her expression changed for a while, and finally she sighed, walked over and gently patted Li Zexuan's shoulder, and said:

"Xiao Xuan, it was the old man who misunderstood you just now, don't take it to heart."

Li Zexuan hurriedly said: "What Uncle Qin said, I know that you are always truly for the country and the people, and your heart is for the people. The tone of the little nephew's speech just now is offensive, and I hope you don't have the same knowledge as the little nephew! ”

He has been depressed about the locust plague for a long time, he knows that what he is doing now can only save a part of the people, and there will still be thousands of people suffering, and he is also very uncomfortable, but he has no other way, whether he is selfish or cold-blooded, he must think about his family before doing things. Today, I finally found someone to vent, but I was blamed, and the negative emotions that had been suppressed for a long time broke out. Although his heart was much more comfortable at this moment, he also realized that his tone was too impulsive just now.

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "It's normal for young people to be angry, and the old man won't blame you." It's just Xiao Xuan, is there really no other way? ”

Li Zexuan thought for a while and replied: "Since ancient times, haven't the kings of the past dynasties been at a loss? The kid also wants to save more people, but the little nephew's ability is limited, and there is really no other way. ”

Qin Qiong was silent for a long time, and sighed deeply, at this moment, he seemed to be ten years old. I saw him pounding the trunk of the tree angrily, and said unwillingly: "The old man will draft a secret fold when he goes back today, and present it to His Majesty tomorrow, if His Majesty has a reproach, the old man will bear it!" ”

Li Zexuan was shocked in his heart, and waved his hand to stop: "Absolutely not!" The locust plague is just a prophecy, there is no conclusive evidence yet, please Uncle Qin think twice, don't be impulsive! ”

Qin Qiong shook his head and said, "Xiao Xuan, this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than not to believe it." Otherwise, when the locust plague really comes, all we can do is wait for death. Besides, this year's weather is so abnormal, just in May, it is so hot, the old man estimates that there will be a big drought this year, as the so-called big drought will be followed by locusts, your master's prediction may not be unreasonable. Your strength alone is limited after all, if you want to save all the people of my Datang, you must rely on the power of the imperial court. ”

"But..."

Li Zexuan wanted to continue to dissuade, but was interrupted by Qin Qiong waving his hand.

"Xiao Xuan, you don't have to persuade again. The old man Rong Ma has been living all his life, and it is not easy to see that the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and he will never see them starve to death because of the locust plague again. The old man's hands have been stained with countless blood, he should have been taken away by God a long time ago, and fell into reincarnation, and now he can still do some practical things for the people with this mutilated body, even if he is questioned by His Majesty, or pointed out by thousands of people, the old man has no regrets! ”

Li Zexuan was moved by the old man's sad words, and he felt that he was so small compared to Qin Qiong at the moment. At this time, he felt that a man should be as responsible as Qin Qiong, so he said:

"Uncle Qin, this matter started because of me, how can you bear it, Uncle Qin, you just tell Your Majesty, if Your Majesty is accountable, the little nephew will share it with you!"

Qin Qiong was surprised: "How does this make Xiao Xuan, you are still young, and you still have a long way to go, don't be rash." ”

Li Zexuan said firmly: "The little nephew is not rash, this is a decision I made carefully, if Uncle Qin does not agree, the little nephew will write to Your Majesty alone!" ”

Qin Shubao saw that Li Zexuan had made up his mind, so he had to nod and say: "That's good, the old man is in the secret compromise, and he also writes your name, you and I, jointly write the book." It's not early now, call Shangzhijie, let's go back to the city! ”

………

Li Zexuan returned to the small courtyard and found Han Yuxi waiting for him in the courtyard, so he smiled at her and signaled that he was fine.

Cheng Yanjin sat in the courtyard, squinting his eyes slightly, he should not have completely recovered. I didn't see Han Lizheng, I guess he was still drunk.

Li Zexuan said a few words to Han Yuxi in the past, and once again told her to be careful when she entered the city tomorrow.

Then he pulled up Cheng Yanjin, who was slightly sober, and went to call Hu Cheng's sister and brother, anyway, it was just two children, not heavy, and one more person would immediately sit down.

In this way, five people and three horsemen, beat horses and left Hanjiazhuang, and rushed towards Chang'an City under the sunset.
