During this time, locusts were still flying all over the outside of Xicheng, wantonly causing destruction, Shen Qiaoan had thought of countless ways, but he couldn't deal with them all.

On this day, Qiao An and Qing Gongzi were eating, a group of locusts flew in from outside the window lattice, Qing Gongzi was calm, picked up the locusts with chopsticks and threw them aside, still smiling and holding japonica rice porridge to eat.

"Still eating?"

"Many people outside can't even eat a mouthful of porridge, you and I should cherish the porridge and rice in front of us." Qing Gongzi ate very deliciously.

After the locust plague, the business of the inn deteriorated, and the prices of rice, grain, vegetables and fruits were rising.

Shen Qiao'an was very annoyed, and went to talk to the divination operator, who gave Qiao An a few books, including how to deal with the locust plague, Qiao An's ability to read a book in a short time, "It turns out that throughout the ages, we have fought so many battles with locusts?" ”

"People will always win, people will win the sky, Joan, this matter will be handed over to you."

Shen Qiaoan understood what the master meant.

As for the emperor's capital, Li Zhongxuan also talked to many people about the control of the locust plague, but this locust plague was the only time that Li Zhongxuan encountered in the eleven years since he ascended the throne as emperor.

At first, he was looking for someone to fight, but then General Cheng said: "I met someone yesterday, she has the eyesight, she said that the eggs in the stomach will survive after the locusts die, and the beating to death is not eradicated, and if you want to eliminate the future trouble, you have to think of other ways." ”

"Your friend is insightful, get in touch and let me see you?" When General Cheng heard that Li Zhongxuan wanted to see Qiao An, he was embarrassed: "You can see it, but my friend has been sick recently, and he has to do a certain amount of protection." ”

Qiao An has been "sick" recently, it is still the most fatal leprosy, Li Zhongxuan is full of indifference, they met in a house, Shen Qiao An was wearing dirty clothes, a dog skin plaster was pasted on his face, and his voice was much worse than usual.

"Will you control locusts?" Li Zhongxuan knew that General Cheng had many friends of the three religions and nine ranks, but the strange and down-and-out person in front of him was the only one Li Zhongxuan had seen in his life.

He just glanced at the person, and felt uncomfortable, General Cheng suddenly understood what Li Zhongxuan meant, and pulled an embroidered screen to cover the two of them, at this moment, whether it was Shen Qiaoan or Li Zhongxuan, all the two could see was the gorgeous peony flowers on the silk veil.

"The villain can't govern, but the villain has been studying frantically recently, and has achieved a small success, the emperor, the villain hopes to gather Yu Linwei and Long Forbidden Captain and the people of Xicheng tonight."

"And then?" Li Zhongxuan thought that the other party would have some shocking remarks and whimsical ideas, but when he heard it, he was humble and did not say anything high.

"And then," Joan smiled, "and leave it to me, and the villain will figure it out." ”

Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng said goodbye to Shen Qiao'an, and General Cheng kept instigating, intending to let Li Zhongxuan follow Qiao An's method. What Shen Qiao'an will do, in fact, even General Cheng himself does not know, but General Cheng believes that Qiao An will definitely have a brilliant plan.

Seeing that General Cheng was so eager, Li Zhongxuan felt more and more strange, "Is your friend very powerful?" ”

"It's really powerful, it's well-known in the rivers and lakes, it's better to let her give it a go, this has to be done well, isn't it good? It's not a good thing to do, and who hasn't failed? ”

Li Zhongxuan hesitated, but he couldn't stand General Cheng's pouting, General Cheng was still in Li Zhongxuan's absence, and he blew the conch and said a lot of good things about his friends, so Li Zhongxuan could only tell Liang Chaoxiong about it.

Liang Chaoxiong scolded: "At this moment, the people in the court have become gourds with sawed mouths, and there is finally a person in the market who recommends himself, so you should agree with it, it is when you solve problems for me, you just do it, why bother asking me?" ”

At present, in order to control the locust plague, Liang Chaoxiong has also tried all kinds of strange methods, but it has not worked at all.

Li Zhongxuan and General Cheng went to see Qiao An that night, Shen Qiao An made himself dirty more and more, no different from a beggar, Li Zhongxuan saw this, he was very sick to his stomach, and hated to have to walk with Shen Qiao An.

Qiao An looked at the mighty team behind him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, moths to the fire, insects will be light-oriented, now we will cut off the remaining corn and light it, the locusts smell the fragrance, see the light, the locusts will not distinguish what is light and what is fire, and then we will kill it." ”

"As the saying goes, fire and water are ruthless, burn them, and see what next generation they have?"

Shen Qiaoan looked at Li Zhongxuan with a smile, and when Li Zhongxuan heard it, he suddenly felt that this was a brilliant plan, and immediately let people use it.

Qiao An had already done experiments, and locusts, like grasshoppers, did tend to light, but the common people were troubled, and when they heard that they were going to burn the little corn that was left of their fruits, they were very distressed.

Li Zhongxuan was afraid that everyone would be reluctant to cooperate, so he also began to talk nonsense: "This time the locusts from my imperial capital are different from the previous ones, these locusts are poisonous, even if they don't completely eat up our crops, now these crops are also poisonous, it is better to destroy them." ”

When the people heard that the locusts were so vicious, they simply did not stop doing anything, uprooted the corn, and threw it into the flames.

The locusts were really attracted by the fragrance of rice, and in an instant, they all jumped into the fire pit one after another, and the scene was very spectacular and tragic.

A large group of locusts all died, and the group behind them was still rushing over bravely, Shen Qiaoan stood nearby, listening to the crackling sound, and his heart was slightly wider.

The corners of Li Zhongxuan's mouth also bloomed with a beautiful smile, the locust matter has been lingering for a long time, and it has been dealt with for many days, but it has no effect at all, and now it is finally retribution.

Qiao An saw that the disaster was basically over, she only felt relaxed, she was about to leave, General Cheng had already greeted her, and approached: "In the end, you still have a way, but it's really amazing." ”

"Quack?" Qiao An smiled hesitantly, and said: "If there is anything difficult to deal with in the future, please also ask you to find me, not to say how powerful I am. ”

Qiao An's meaning, what a person can't see, and the incurable diseases that a person can't handle well, once you find a group of people to analyze it, it will actually be easily solved.

After all, the ruler is short and the inch is long.

Things are almost complete, Shen Qiaoan is ready to leave, she can contribute to the people, to be honest, she herself is happy.

But she had just walked out two steps, and there was Li Zhongxuan's sonorous footsteps behind her, General Cheng hurriedly turned around, and saw Li Zhongxuan rushing over with a roar, he is a person who loves as much as his life, and now it is the time to be thirsty for talent, and suddenly saw such a character as Qiao An, where could he let her go for no reason.

"Girl, girl!" As soon as Li Zhongxuan called this, Qiao An suddenly became nervous, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and hurriedly walked to the front, no matter what he called behind, he only stubbornly pretended not to hear anything.

Li Zhongxuan said to General Cheng: "Your friend, get it back!" Shout back, now that he has made a great contribution to the court, I should also thank her, how can I just leave? ”

Hearing Li Zhongxuan say this, General Cheng hurriedly said: "This person has something at home, and he has just told the last general, and he is going to go back." In fact, she was most afraid of showing her face, what reward the emperor had, gave it to the last general, and the last general sent it over. ”

"What's that kind of truth?" The more he saw Shen Qiaoan fleeing in a hurry, the more Li Zhongxuan wanted to chase after him.

Qiao An hurriedly walked forward, walked out and looked back at the back, Li Zhongxuan was no longer in sight, seeing this, Qiao An was very satisfied, and smiled faintly.

Continue to walk forward, go straight after crossing the road in front, you can leave here completely, she is here to guard the people, and she will naturally leave after dealing with the disaster, she doesn't want these thanks at all.

Shen Qiaoan hurriedly moved away from the crowd, but from afar he saw a few general-looking people surrounding a person talking about something, several people were talking, and sometimes a series of cheerful laughter broke out.

Before Joan got closer, she saw that the woman in the crowd was actually sunset, and when she saw this, she couldn't help but be stunned.

The sunset eye is very good, and it belongs to the kind of person who never forgets. All killers have this ability, but Sunset is clearly much more powerful than all of them.

Qiao An was afraid of being recognized, so she hurriedly retreated, and as soon as she retreated, she saw Li Zhongxuan again.

Li Zhongxuan also looked for Qiao An for a while, and suddenly saw Qiao An go and return, and approached with a smile, "The girl has made such a merit for helping the imperial court, how can you say that she will leave, I still want to thank you." ”

"Thank me?" Shen Qiaoan hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand: "I don't think it's necessary, I just did what I did." ”

Joan excused herself.

"If the gold, silver and jewelry girl is not interested, there is always time for a meal," Li Zhongxuan sincerely wanted to invite Qiao An, and said: "Besides, there are still a lot of problems here that I want to be solved, and I can't figure it out after thinking about it, I hope you can help analyze it." ”

When Shen Qiaoan heard this, he could only nod, and when he went back from the town, it was already three shifts in the middle of the night, although it was more than May, but the weather was still a little cold.

After Li Zhongxuan returned to the imperial court, he did not alarm Liang Chaoxiong, who was from the grassland, and his work and rest time were relatively stable, so he fell asleep early.

As for Li Zhongxuan, he ignored what he wanted to do, what he could do, and what he was allowed to do, as long as it did not infringe on his interests and did not damage him.

The palace banquet has been arranged, Pei Yan and all the people who have worked hard have been invited over one by one, according to age, Shen Qiaoan should sit in the last row.

According to the age and size, Joan should also sit in the back.

But according to this contribution, Qiao An has to sit first, and after Shen Qiao An sat down, he was re-invited by Li Zhongxuan to his hand. Qiao An could only bite the bullet, how she hoped that this palace banquet would end early.

"Girl, I haven't asked your name yet, where does your family live? How many people are there in the family, but they are all officials in the imperial court? Do you do business out there? ”

Li Zhongxuan seemed to be very interested in Qiao An, this was the time of nonsense, Shen Qiao An took a deep breath, and said nonsense: "At present, I am the only one in the family, we are all businessmen, and we are not interested in being officials." ”

"Oh?" He nodded slightly, and then said: "That's really a pity, I thought that your family was doing things in the imperial court, look at the girl Bingxue," Li Zhongxuan wanted to praise Qiao An, but seeing that Shen Qiaoan was not "ice and snow" at all, he hurriedly said: "Smart, I thought that the girl's family was also doing things in the imperial court." ”

"There was no shortage of people in the imperial court before, but then they all went home one after another, and it was better to be at home." Jo Ann reluctantly replied.

"What's your name?" Li Zhongxuan poured a glass of wine and approached Qiao An.
