Chapter 307: The Origin of the Rat Plague
Huang Xue knew that things were in trouble, and if she didn't think of some solutions, she was afraid that things would become more and more troublesome.
The rat plague is actually not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the plague. Rats are the most susceptible to spreading diseases, and it is said that the Black Death in Europe was caused by the plague, which wiped out one-third of the population at that time, or tens of millions of people.
If things develop to that point, even if she Huang Xue dies ten thousand times, I'm afraid the people won't forgive her. At that time, even if the king of Shang has feelings for her, he will sacrifice her life to appease the anger of the people.
The matter must be resolved as soon as possible, as soon as possible, even in the current situation, as long as it reaches the ears of some princes who are already restless, they will rebel in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and in the current public opinion environment, they have a natural advantage.
However, how should we solve it? Rats, rumors, and celestial phenomena are all unfavorable to us, so where should we start to solve them?
Just when she was worried in the palace, the spring equinox came to report, and Ziya asked to see her.
Ziya has been building a brick kiln outside the city, and now he suddenly came to see him, it must be related to the recent turmoil. It just so happens that he can also listen to his opinion on this matter, I only hope that he will not also think that he has disobeyed the mandate of heaven, if so, then Ziya will disappoint her too much.
After meeting Ziya, Ziya went straight to the point and said: "Ah Xue, I came to see you today to tell you that this rat plague is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster." ”
Huang Xue was taken aback when she heard this, and said, "Uncle Jiang, you mean that this rat plague was actually caused by man?
Ziya said: "I don't know about this, but I feel some faint demonic aura from these mice." ”
Huang Xue was shocked: "You mean, these rats are monsters?"
Ziya shook his head and said, "Where are so many rat demons? I mean, these rats are all driven by demon magic. ”
Huang Xue hurriedly said: "What kind of demon method can instruct so many rats? This is too evil!"
Ziya said: "Demon clan spells, there are many evil sects, I know many can control beasts, this is the first time I have seen this specially driven rat." ”
Huang Xue hurriedly said, "Then Uncle Jiang, do you have a way to crack it?"
Ziya shook his head and said, "All I can think of is to find the person who casts the spell to crack this demon spell." ”
Huang Xue frowned and said, "The person who cast the spell must be the person of the imperial envoy giant rat soul beast that you dared to leave that day, and he must be hiding in the Xuanyuan tomb." There is Qingqiu Ancestor in Xuanyuan Tomb, in the current situation, where can he fight in a hurry?"
Ziya sighed: "It's really a little helpless. ”
They didn't know that it was really not Elder Gray who was casting the demon spell this time, but someone else.
It is said that the seventy-two princes of Beihai received the reply from the gray elder that day, and they were also a little worried.
They are not stupid, they went to the Great Shang Palace as monsters to make trouble, they really don't know how to write the dead word. But if you don't go, you won't be able to get the protection of the Qingqiu clan, and they won't have any other good places to go.
After discussing for two days, Fang Shaofei proposed a plan. The seventy-two of them had a set of spells, and together they could control rats within a radius of fifty miles.
If you use rats to go and disturb the order of the entire Chaoge City, and then take advantage of the Shang King's attention to the city, he will command the rats to enter the palace and wreak havoc.
In this way, it is really beneficial and not costly to fulfill the requirements of the Gray Elder without taking any risks.
Speaking of which, when they fought against Wen Zhong back then, they also used this spell to sneak attack Wen Zhong's grain and grass, and they also achieved a lot of results.
It's just that Wen Zhong is leading an army, and it is really much easier to deal with this rat plague, and he set up several strategies to drive away most of the rats around him, so that the seventy-two princes gave up such a spell.
Now that this spell is used to disrupt the city, it is not as highly organized as in the army, and the effect must be a little stronger.
When the princes heard about Fang Shaofei's strategy, they all said that they were good, and everyone used the earth technique to come to the outside of Chaoge City, so they summoned a large number of rats and poured into Chaoge City in a steady stream.
Chaoge is located in the Central Plains and has always been prosperous, and the rats they summoned are several times more than those in Beihai. It's just that the time of this spell is just in time after Huang Xuefeng has caused her a lot of trouble.
Huang Xue heard that Ziya had no choice, so she wanted to discuss countermeasures with Nuwa in her body, so she said to Ziya: "Uncle Jiang, thank you for coming to report the news, since you know the origin of the other party, you must have a way to solve this matter, this is another time you saved me." ”
Ziya shook his head and said: "Now that the rat plague is rampant, the most bitter people are the residents of Chaoge City, how can I ignore this matter? ”
Huang Xue nodded and said, "I understand, you let me think about it, if I can't think of a way, I will go with you to break into Xuanyuan's tomb." ”
Ziya nodded, and was about to get up and leave. Huang Xue suddenly remembered something again, and stopped him: "Uncle Jiang, you wait a minute, I still have something to ask you." Do you know what Qin Tianjian said about the celestial phenomena and luck?"
Ziya was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded after a while: "I also heard that the luck of the great merchant is indeed dissipating, but this matter has nothing to do with you." Before you became queen, this was already the case, but it wasn't obvious enough to be reflected in the celestial phenomena. ”
Huang Xue hurriedly asked, "Why is that?"
Ziya sighed: "I don't know, maybe it's really the number of big businessmen who have run out." ”
With that, he shook his head helplessly and turned to leave.
Huang Xue looked at his departing back and muttered, "Is it really that the qi is exhausted?"
Whatever the reason, the immediate priority is to address the rat plague first. As long as this is solved first, the people's doubts about her identity will be self-defeating, and she will have time to study the metaphysical problem of luck.
Back in the East Palace, Huang Xue closed the door of the dormitory and began to call Nuwa in her heart.
After a while, Nuwa's cold voice came: "What is disturbing this seat?"
Huang Xue heard that Nuwa was very busy, and she didn't dare to delay, so she hurriedly told the rat plague again, and after listening to it, Nuwa was silent for a long time, and said: "This seat has investigated a little, I am afraid that there is more than one person who casts the spell, and it is not outside the city, but inside the city." ”
Huang Xue exclaimed, "Where is it?"
Nuwa said: "It's useless to tell you, they are also rat demons, just underground, but the location is not fixed." ”
Huang Xue instantly remembered the seventy-two princes of Beihai, and hurriedly said, "But seventy-two rat demons?"
Nuwa said: "That's right, it's the seventy-two in Beihai." ”
Huang Xue said: "Is there a way to crack it?"
Nuwa said helplessly: "There is a way, but at least it has to be the cultivation of the earth immortals to be able to perform, and now in this dynasty song, where is the earth immortal to help you?"
Huang Xue hurriedly said: "Now that the people of Chaoge are still in danger, are you willing to come to the rescue?"
Nuwa said: "Chaoge City gathers the world's luck, my mana has been suppressed a lot, if I help you, it will inevitably be noticed." You haven't reached the place of life and death in this matter, so naturally I won't take action. If you want to save people, then find a way for yourself, if you look for this seat for everything, what use does this seat want you?"
When Huang Xue heard this, she was speechless, and wanted to ask a few more words, but Nuwa said: "This seat has been calculating an important matter recently, if there is no danger to life, don't bother again, otherwise it will definitely be severely punished." ”
After speaking, Nuwa was silent, leaving only Huang Xue stunned with a lost face.
