Yu Zhang led the uncle out of the city lord's hall, and the sky outside had changed from half-dark to morning light.

Yu Zhang asked his uncle to lead the way and go to Minfeng Village to check the situation, but the uncle said that he would take a detour to buy some rice first.

When the two came to the farmer's area, the uncle walked to a shop and suddenly stopped moving.

There was a slight panic in his eyes, and Yu Zhang asked, "What's wrong?"

The uncle replied: "This... I remember it was a rice shop... I bought it here for the past few months, why today..."

Yu Zhang looked up and found that this was not a rice shop, but a fish shop.

Yu Zhang thought to himself, it should be the new trade policy of the City Lord's Palace, which has caused a lot of changes in these shops, and many shops have moved to the north of the city and the middle of the city.

Yu Zhang looked around, found a patrolling soldier, and asked, "Where is there a rice shop around here?"

The soldier happened to have seen Yu Zhang's true appearance on the "day of usurpation", and when he saw the city lord coming, he knelt down with a thud and shouted, "Participate in the Void King!"

Yu Zhang told him to get up and asked again, "Is there any rice shop nearby?"

The soldier realized that he had ignored the first question of the city lord, quickly apologized, and took Yu and the others to a rice shop.

This is a very large rice shop, and the soldier said, "Lord Void King, the variety of rice here is the largest in this area, and the quality is also the best!"

Then the soldier ran into the shop again and whispered a few words in the owner's ear.

Then, from a state of boredom, the shopkeeper instantly flattered Yu Zhang's side like a chicken blood, shouting and asking for warmth.

After Yu Zhang nodded, he didn't pay much attention to the shopkeeper, turned his head and asked the uncle, "What kind of rice do you want, and how much do you want?"

Afterwards, the uncle tiptoed over to each type of rice or millet, looked at the rice, and his eyes lit up, it was indeed good rice.

Then, he glanced at the price tag on the side again, and suddenly retracted his neck.

The uncle walked up to Yu Zhang's side and whispered, "It's too expensive, let's change it..."

And this sentence happened to be heard by the shrewd shopkeeper, who hurriedly grabbed the uncle and shouted: "Don't go, don't go! The city lord is here, it is a great honor for the little one, how can he collect money!"

Yu Zhang's hand that was put in his pocket to take the money slowly took out again, he was going to pay for his uncle, but the shopkeeper opened his mouth, how could he refuse someone else's thoughts.

Yu Zhang asked the uncle: "How many meters do you want?"

The uncle hesitated for a moment, thinking that the store had just said that he would not accept money, so he made up his mind and compared a "two" with his fingers.

Yu Zhang nodded, turned to the shopkeeper and said, "The best quality, twenty bags!"

The shopkeeper was shocked, and the farmer uncle was also frightened.

Originally, he only wanted two bags, a village of dozens of people to save food, and dig some weeds, so that he could last for a month.

As a result, Yu Chang understood that it was twenty bags, and the uncle quickly corrected: "The city lord is big..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yu Zhang patted him on the back hard, he coughed lightly, and the rest of the words could not be said.

When the shopkeeper heard about twenty bags, it was naturally very painful, and he here, a bag of high-quality rice could be worth more than ten gold coins, and ordinary people couldn't eat it for half a month.

Twenty bags, but more than two hundred gold coins, no one can afford to lose so much money for no reason.

He felt a little tightness in his chest, took a few deep breaths, and thought: This is the new city lord, he must not be lazy, even if he loses the entire store, he must not annoy him. He can even destroy the mighty Jin family, let alone a small rice shop.

Afraid that Yu Zhang would see the signs of his hesitation, the shopkeeper hurriedly called the shopkeeper and instructed him to prepare twenty bags of the best rice and mention it here.

Yu Zhang nodded with satisfaction, and the shopkeeper was also relieved when he saw this, and was affirmed by the city lord, and his depression about losing money also disappeared a lot.

After a while, a few shopkeepers carried a few bags of rice, and came out from the back one after another, and soon, the rice was ready, no more, no less, exactly twenty bags.

Yu Zhang waved his hand lightly, and the twenty bags of heavyweight rice flew up one after another and landed on the wooden cart parked outside.

Seeing the city lord show his demeanor, the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper and the people passing by were all amazed and applauded.

Yu Chang looked at the lonely wooden cart and the heavy twenty bags of rice on it, and always felt that something was missing.

Yu Zhangxiang whispered something in the soldier's ear, and the soldier ran away quickly, and after a while, he led a sturdy horse over.

Yu Zhang asked for a few hemp ropes in the rice shop, tied the rice, and put the horses in front of the wooden cart, combining them into a shabby "horse-drawn carriage".

Before leaving, Yu Zhang asked the soldier if he knew about the situation in Minfeng Village.

The soldier only said that it was a self-sufficient village with a good harvest every year, and the word "Feng" in Minfeng Village represented that it was a village with a good harvest.

But the soldier did not mention the current situation in Minfeng Village, seemingly unaware.

Yu Zhang thought to himself, a harvest village was forced to look like this by pests, as the city lord, he really had to rectify it, and he didn't know why the Jin family was slow to help.

He didn't stay any longer, and after thanking the shopkeeper and the soldiers, he and his uncle embarked on the road to Minfeng Village.

After the two left, passers-by gathered outside the rice shop, and they heard that the lord of the city had shown his magic here, so they came to visit.

The shopkeeper took advantage of the present to sell his family's rice, saying, "The lord of the city has good rice, and the rice is of the highest quality!"

Yu Zhang asked the uncle to sit on the rice bag, and he rode on the horse himself, and asked the uncle to show the way from time to time, compared to the manpower cart when the uncle came, the current speed is much faster.

The horse under Yu Zhang's feet is not an ordinary horse, just like the horse served by the Xiao family when he first arrived in the mortal world a few months ago, it has a trace of spirit beast blood, and it is also very fast when it runs.

Sitting in the uncle's wooden carriage, he walked a long way up, and when he reached the village, it was already dusk.

Along the way, I passed some land, and the withered yellow wheat stalks were scattered everywhere, and there were still half of the plants planted on the land, which was really a mess.

Everywhere in the village, you can see the villagers sitting on the ground, all of them with yellow faces and thin muscles, and they are lifeless.

Here, it's like a famine.

As soon as the two of them arrived in the village with the food, the villagers rushed up like hungry ghosts.

The uncle opened the sacks and distributed the grain to the villagers.

"Don't rush, don't rob, everyone has a share!" shouted the uncle.

Just when everyone couldn't wait to distribute the food, suddenly there was a piercing buzzing sound from a distance, and when Yu Zhang heard it, it seemed to be the sound of insects flapping their wings. When the villagers heard this, they didn't even bother to take the precious food, so they fled in all directions, and each of them hid in his house.

The uncle also hurriedly pushed the wooden cart to hide the grain, but the insects seemed to smell the fragrance of the grain, and rushed straight to this side without any roundabouts.

The speed of the swarm is extremely fast, and in a few breaths, it has already appeared in the field of vision.

The number of insect swarms is huge, and the black pressure is overwhelming, and just by looking at it, you can know that there are at least tens of thousands. They were covered in a black shadow under the dark red sky. When they got closer, the sound of tens of thousands of insect monsters flapping their wings in unison pierced people's eardrums.
