"Mo'er, as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow morning, we will hurry, and we will have to work hard for you along the way." Qi Yu circled Mu Chenmo in his arms.

Mu Chenmo put down the robe in his hand and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Qi Yu, I think it's better to be busy than to be idle all day long, it seems that I was born to work hard." ”

Qi Yu held people in his arms in distress, how could anyone be born to work hard, Mo'er was just used to running around, and forgot how to enjoy the life in front of him.

In order to save the lives of hundreds of people in the General's Mansion, she had to run, and after marrying herself, she was willing to join the struggle between the princes for him.

As if sensing Qi Yu's guilt, Mu Chenmo smiled at him and patted him on the back: "If a person lives a lifetime and does nothing, wouldn't it be a waste of his good years to come to the world in vain." ”

"Mo'er." Qi Yu sighed and pinned Mu Chenmo's scattered hair behind his ears: "You don't have to comfort me, when Daqi settles down, I will take you around to wander through the days of idle clouds and wild cranes." ”

Hugging Qi Yu's waist, Mu Chenmo nodded lightly in his arms, the emperor is getting older and older, and the struggle between the princes is becoming more and more intense.

In this competition for imperial power, even if she and Qi Yu tried their best, they didn't know if they could protect the people they wanted to protect.

When will the Great Qi Kingdom be stable, years of war, the emptiness of the treasury, and the people struggling on the verge of death, how can she and Qi Yu sit back and ignore the wandering around and live a fairy-like life.

She can't do it, and Qi Yu can't do it, but it's okay, it can promote the development of this world in a better direction, and it is not in vain that she has crossed over to this big Qi.

"Qi Yu, let's talk about the enjoyment later, do you think this corruption case in the Northland disaster area is related to the four princes?" Mu Chenmo put aside his thoughts and thought of the Wei County he was about to go to.

Qi Yu frowned slightly: "The dark department has not spied on the relevant news, in a poor place like Wei County, the Fourth Emperor Brother should not be able to look down on it." ”

"Qi Yu, we may not be traveling with our tails this time." Tapping his head, Mu Chenmo thought of the last time the two of them went out of Beijing and were followed.

The corners of his mouth raised, Qi Yu's eyes showed disdain: "I can't let them come this time, just in front of my father, I can refer to a copy, so that my father can also see the current situation." ”

Seeing that Mu Chenmo was still bowing his head and pondering, Qi Yu hugged her and walked inside: "Mo'er, rest first, the matter of our donation this time is staring at the people of the Great Qi Kingdom from top to bottom, and he has to think about it if he wants to do it." ”

Lying on the bed, Mu Chenmo let himself relax as much as possible and fall asleep early, it will not be easy to go to Wei County, in addition to catching the corrupt official who has lost his conscience, he also has to think of ways to deal with the locust plague.

Turning sideways, Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo's sleeping face through the bright moonlight outside the window, listening to the shallow breathing, and there was a peace in his heart that he had never felt before.

When the sky lit up with a touch of fish belly white, Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu had already packed all their bags, and the two turned over and got up and went to Wei County.

Shen Yunyi rushed to the Seven Princes' Mansion early in the morning, and the third son stepped forward to tell him that the princess and princess had left, and took out two pieces of paper from his arms and gave them to him.

"Princess, I said that you should sign it and press your fingerprint."

When he opened the paper and looked at the three words of the military order, Shen Yunyi was stunned for a long time and couldn't say a word, these two were afraid that he would regret it and directly stuff it into him.

The third son put all the pen, ink, paper, and inkstones in place, bowed to Shen Yunyi, hugged his fists and made a gesture, and Shen Yunyi had no choice but to sign the military order and press the handprint.

Lord Yang, the head of the household department, also came to the Seven Kings' Mansion, and the third son led the people to the hall to sit with Shen Yunyi.

"Two adults, when the princess left, she instructed that you should discuss the purchase of grain and pay the price, which must be two percent lower than the one on the market." Xiao Sanzi's fat hand like a pig's trotter wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Shen Yunyi and Yang Shilang glanced at each other, and both saw the helplessness in their eyes, and before leaving, they didn't forget to instruct them to do this and that, and arrange a bunch of work for them.

Especially after Shen Yunyi read the content on the other piece of paper, he couldn't wait to catch up with Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu, and directly told them that he was gone.

It turned out that Mu Chenmo told Shen Yunyi in the letter that he not only wanted to ensure the safe transportation of materials to the disaster area, but also to ensure that the price of the purchased goods was the lowest.

Thinking of his father's entrustment when he was about to go out, Shen Yunyi could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he confessed for the sake of the victims.

Mu Chenmo Qiyu rushed all the way to the disaster area, this road was really calm, and the one-month journey was shortened by half.

As soon as they arrived at the boundary of Wei County, Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu saw the dense black dots in the sky flying towards the two like torrential raindrops.

Raising the horsewhip, Mu Chenmo waved it, and the alarmed locusts flew away, Qi Yu took off his robe and threw it to Mu Chenmo to signal her to block her head first.

Mu Chenmo took it and wrapped his head to reveal a pair of eyes outside, the green plants and crops everywhere had been eaten away, and the bare yellow land was exposed, and people were numb enough to chase the locusts in front of them with their hands.

Walking in front of an old woman, Qi Yu turned over and dismounted: "Mother-in-law, do you know how the county government goes?" ”

"What are young people doing in the county government? There is no one there anymore. The old woman looked at Qi Yu and Mu Chenmo curiously.

Hearing the old woman's words, Mu Chenmo frowned, it must be that the accomplices of the court and the central government had notified the county order, causing this person to flee.

Qi Yu also frowned: "Then is there still someone in charge of the county government now, and there is no one to deal with this insect plague?" ”

"Those people who have lost their conscience and are not human things, knowing that the emperor is going to send ministers to come, they all ran away, no one, no one."

The old woman shook her head and prepared to walk forward with her stick.

Looking at the back of the old woman, Mu Chenmo spoke: "Mother-in-law, where are you going?" ”

"It's better to go to relatives in a neighboring county than to wait here for death."

Looking at the back of the old woman's faltering steps, Mu Chenmo's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, desperately recalling all the methods he had seen in the book to eliminate locusts.

Thinking of the experience of roasting grasshoppers in the ground when he was a child, he turned his head to look at Qi Yu: "Qi Yu, can the locusts be eaten?" ”

"Eat." Qi Yu looked at Mu Chenmo in surprise, and reached out to grab a locust: "This thing can be eaten." ”

Hearing Qi Yu's words, Mu Chenmo didn't know the bottom of his heart, but he thought of the record that a famous emperor in the history of the ancient Chinese country went to the place where the locusts were plagued and grabbed one and put it in his mouth to swallow it raw.

And she vaguely remembered that there was a dish called Feihuang Tengda, which was made of locusts, but it was said that swarms of locusts were poisonous and inedible.

Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu got on their horses and ran quickly in the direction of the county seat, Qi Yu was thinking about the old woman's words all the way, how did she know that the minister was coming, and the county order was going to run and not running secretly, so that everyone knew.

Grabbed the reins of the horse, and when he looked back at the old woman, he found that he was gone.

"Mo'er, there's something wrong with that old woman." Qi Yu turned his horse's head and ran back.

Still thinking about whether the locusts can be eaten, Mu Chenmo was stunned when he heard Qi Yu's words, and when he looked back, he saw that Qi Yu had already run away, and hurriedly hit his horse to catch up.

The two chased out five miles away, how could there be the shadow of the old woman, Mu Chenmo and Qi Yu glanced at each other, and Qi Yu opened his mouth uncertainly.

"Could it be that the old woman is the county magistrate of Wei County?"

"Hiding the head and hiding the tail is not a county order, and it must be the person concerned." Mu Chenmo dismounted and looked around, wanting to see if he could find traces of leaving.

Qi Yufei got on his horse: "Mo'er, go to the county office." ”

Mu Chenmo jumped on the horse's back and whipped his whip to chase Qi Yu, who had already run to the county seat.

The two of them galloped to the largest house in the county, and the door plaque with the word "county ya" was hung high on the vermilion gate.

The gate was open, and several officials scolded and walked out: "Wu County Commander ran away without warning, yesterday he was still in a hurry to call a few brothers to arrest people everywhere, and now the entire county government is empty." ”

"But isn't it, someone must have stabbed him out of all those evil things."

Mu Chenmo took a few steps forward and came to the front of the officer: "Brother officer, I have a way to eliminate locusts, and I want to ask to see the county order, I don't know if it is convenient to pass it on." ”

An elderly official's eyes lit up significantly after listening to Mu Chenmo's words, but he shook his head when he thought of Wu Xianling, who was nowhere to be found.

"This brother, the county magistrate is no longer in the county office, if you have a good way to write it down, I can send it to Master Li for you, let him see it first."
