Gaochuan Castle is a remote treasure land, with mountains and rivers, and rich resources.

But because it's far away from the metropolis where spirituality is prevalent, it's a little behind in all aspects.

Because of this, it is easier and more hidden for the Void Heaven Temple to start here.

It was originally a small case of the disappearance of a secret agent, but at some point, the warden planned another case of seizing the city.

Now that the case of the disappearance of the secret agent in the West has been solved, another task of Yu Zhang's family is the case of the traitor of the spy in the East.

The accident occurred in the prosperous east of the Qingxia Dynasty, and the rebellious spy was a strong man at the level of the Spirit King.

At that time, he was sent on a mission, but the agreed time had long passed, and there was no news for a long time.

So the Void Heaven Temple sent another powerhouse at the peak level of the Spirit King to find this spy.

A few days later, only his staccato words were heard: "He has rebelled..... Save!.... Ah....h

After receiving this news, the Void Heaven Temple immediately determined that the former had rebelled and the latter was in danger.

I already knew that the latter was at the peak level of the Spirit King, and if the former could kill him, he must have received the help of a third party.

From this, it can be inferred that there must be other forces stirring up the situation.

Although the Void Heaven Temple does not reveal much information to the spies, it is just to give money to do things, but if it falls into the ears of people with a heart, it is also a hidden danger to find out a little bit of news.

So, after the situation in Gaochuan City was completely stabilized, Yu Zhang was also ready to travel and start the next task.

On this day, Yu Zhang, early in the morning, came to the throne of the city lord's hall, at this time, the hard-working Xiao Ying had not yet arrived, but Yu Zhang, who usually likes to sleep until he woke up naturally, had already arrived first.

Earlier than him, it was a peasant uncle pulling a wooden trailer outside the hall.

The uncle probably arrived here overnight, lying on the trailer and falling asleep, Yu Zhang woke him up and took him into the city lord's hall.

When the uncle woke up, he found that it was a young man who looked extremely young and opened the door of the city lord's hall, and kept greeting:

"Little brother, you are so young, you are here to be a doorman?"

"Little brother, what time does the city lord start the council?"

"Little brother...."

Yu Zhang didn't answer him a single question, only led him in front, and finally, he arrived in the council hall.

The peasant uncle stepped into the spacious and gorgeous hall, looked around in amazement, looked at the majestic sculptures around him, the terrifying throne, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but humble his walking posture.

He said, "Huh... That one... Where should I stand and wait?"

Yu Zhang had already walked under the ten-story staircase of the throne at this time, and he turned around and said, "Come here." ”

So, the peasant uncle lowered his head and crept over.

When he arrived at the place indicated by Yu Zhang, he slowly looked up, and Mu Ran found that there was already a figure on the throne.

He quickly knelt down again, his head hanging almost next to the ground, and his mouth nervously spat out the words: "Ginseng... See the Lord of the Castle!"

"Flat. ”

The peasant uncle slowly stood up, he slowly raised his head, and looked at the scenery of the city lord with his spare eyes.

It was a young man in a purple-black robe, with black hair and black eyes, and an aura all over his body, which was integrated with the domineering throne, and it was natural.

As his gaze rose higher and higher, he gradually realized that this city lord was not the young man he had been calling "little brother" just now.

He suddenly felt bad, and then he knelt down with a bang, kowtowed, and shouted: "There was something impolite before, and I ask the city lord to forgive me!"

But before he could hit his head, an invisible force lifted him up.

A voice came from above the throne: "It's okay, tell me what you're doing?"

Yu Zhang thought to himself, he was holding an empty wooden cart, and before dawn, he was waiting outside the city lord's hall, and there must be something urgent.

The peasant uncle spoke hesitantly at first, and in the middle of speaking, his tone suddenly became intense: "Lord of the city, I am the new village chief of Minfeng Village in Gaochuan City. ”

"Minfeng Village is now facing a very serious pest infestation, and we have not had a grain harvest for six months in a row. ”

"We have reported to the Old City Lord's Mansion several times, but there has been no response. In desperation, we villagers had to raise our own funds and come to the city regularly to purchase grain, and survived by struggling for half a year. ”

"Today, it's time to buy food again. In the past few days, on my way here, I heard everyone talking about changing the city lord, so I wanted to try my luck and see the new city lord's mansion... Can you help us......"

Yu Zhang was secretly speechless, thinking that Gaochuan City under the rule of the Jin family in the past seemed to be prosperous on the surface, but there were so many internal problems that even the problem of people's fullness could not be solved.

After listening to this, Yu Zhang could only guess a rough idea, and continued to ask: "What kind of insect pest is it?"

The peasant uncle recalled, and said with a frightened look in his eyes: "It was a swarm of locusts that covered the sky and the sun, and at first, we thought it was a dark cloud and it was going to rain, so we hid back in the house. ”

But when we came out again, all the fields beside us were swept away, the fruit trees were broken at the waist, and the wheat fields were left with nothing left. ”

"At first, we thought it was some kind of punishment from the gods and gods, and we worshiped the gods every day and offered incense, but after a month, the dark clouds came again. ”

"This time we hid in the dark and observed, only to find out that it was not a ghost, but a large group of hideous locust monsters!"

"We came once a month for six months, and all our fields were wasted. ”

Yu Zhang was shocked, what kind of pest was it, how could it take root in the same place for half a year.

Yu Chang had read some books about insects in the Void Heaven Temple, saying that normal natural creatures understood the same truth in their bones and flesh: the sustainability of natural resources.

For example, taking the fruit will not destroy the plant, but will keep the roots and let it produce new fruits in the next cycle.

Of course, humans and humanoids are not among them.

According to this law, something strange must have happened to this pest, which deepened Yu Zhang's curiosity.

"I'm going to inspect it on behalf of the old man. Yu Zhang thought in his heart.

So, Yu Chang said to the peasant uncle below: "Your commission, I, Lord Void King, took it!"
