Chapter 277: Natural Enemies

Mo Li understood what Ning Yunxiao's idea was when she heard it, and she had to say that this girl was really good. Mo Li cried and buried his face, originally thought that the war was over, and he could cultivate a good relationship with Shangguan Haitang in the capital, after all, the Shangguan family had agreed, and it was justified for the two of them to be together now. Where did you think that as soon as they entered the capital, the two would be forced to separate.

Seeing Mo Li's expression, Ning Yunxiao felt even more embarrassed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "When we come back, let's let Yan marry you?" ”

Mo Li's eyes suddenly lit up, it was a good idea to be separated for a while and then get married directly, otherwise I didn't know when I would be able to really marry the beautiful woman. Immediately nodded and agreed.

In fact, no matter whether Mo Li agrees or not, if Ning Yunxiao really speaks, Shangguan Haitang will not refuse, even if Mo Li will be angry, Shangguan Haitang will follow Mo Li and leave, this is the gratitude of the Shangguan family.

However, Ning Yunxiao naturally would not destroy the relationship between the two people, let alone destroy the friendship between herself and them, so she preferred to choose the way of negotiation to get the other party's nod.

There were not many people with him. Ning Yunxiao, Li Yiyan, Qingzhu, Ji Ming, Shangguan Haitang and Shangguan Xiyue's little tail, and the monsoon also followed.

There were seven people in a group, three in a car, one in a car, and three on horseback. Shangguan Haitang is still dressed in milky white men's clothes, handsome and chic, heroic and dignified, plus Li Yiyan's cold and evil handsomeness, Monsoon naughty handsome, Ji Ming is masculine and upright, plus the female dependents in the carriage, the group is like a rich boy who came out to travel.

However, the seven people did not really travel, and the group hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the nearest disaster area in the shortest possible time. Under Ning Yunxiao's tough attitude, everyone did not go to rest first, but went to see the dealer first. Ning Yunxiao came to the crop field and found that only the dried branches of the cereal crops remained, and a thin crack was slightly listed on the ground.

Qingzhu took out the sachet she had prepared, and put her specially configured medicine in it, which could have the effect of driving away locusts, once she brought this, the locusts would all avoid it, and stay away from a meter away. Therefore, everywhere they went, they could see the scene of locusts flying wildly, and the scalps of everyone were numb when they saw it, and they didn't know what to do.

Ning Yunxiao squatted down and touched the ground with his fingers, which was very hard and dry. She remembered that locusts seemed to like dry places, so their appearance was accompanied by drought, and now it seems to be true.

"Let's go to the river." Ning Yunxiao stood up and continued.

"Xiao'er, you're in a hurry all the way, you haven't had a good rest for a long time, do you want to rest for a while?" Li Yiyan felt sorry for Ning Yunxiao's hard work, so he comforted.

Shangguan Haitang and Qingzhu are also a little worried, Qingzhu's identity is there, it is not good to say in front of everyone, Shangguan Haitang and Ning Yunxiao are confidants, so they said: "Go and rest for a while, we have all arrived here, don't be in a hurry." ”

Ning Yunxiao shook his head and looked up at the sky, it was already afternoon, and if he went to the river and returned to the city, he would be able to finish his meal just in time. So he said: "I'm fine, let's go to see the river and then go into the city, then it's almost time for dinner, then let's have a good rest, I can't sleep at night." ”

Li Yiyan sighed helplessly, so he had to help Ning Yunxiao get into the carriage, and everyone went to the river again.

The banks of the river are very wet, but I always feel that something is missing? So he asked the people next to him, "Do you think something is missing?" "I felt it when I was looking at the dealer, and my attention was on the land at that time, so I didn't notice it much, but when I got here, it was instantly much stronger. But I still didn't feel it.

Everyone shook their heads, looked left and right, and saw nothing wrong.

Ning Yunxiao couldn't come up with a reason after thinking about it for a long time, so everyone had to get into the carriage and rush to the city. As soon as the carriage entered the city, the faces of all the people were faintly sad, and the city was dead silent, and the people sat on the side of the road with desperate faces, and even the carriage could not attract the slightest attention from them. Everyone came to the inn, and the shopkeeper also sat on the counter in a daze.

Everyone walked in, and the shopkeeper walked out with a smile on his face.

"What would you like to eat?" The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.

"Bring up all your signature dishes here." Monsoon shouted.

"This," the shopkeeper hesitated for a moment in embarrassment, and then said, "You all know what the situation is now, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice." ”

Shangguan Haitang glanced around, there was only one person in the entire inn, and there was not even a shopkeeper. Moreover, in this huge inn, there was no one except Ning Yunxiao's seven people.

Shangguan Haitang frowned and said, "Then make a few plates of the dishes you can make now." ”

"Okay, okay, a few objective later, I'll go and prepare." The innkeeper nodded and stepped back. After a while, a child of about ten years old walked out with a pot of tea.

When the child puts the tea on the table, he runs out. Ning Yunxiao glanced at Qingzhu, who nodded and stopped the child and beckoned to him.

The child's face showed embarrassment, looked outside, looked clearly, hesitated for a moment and walked back. The voice glutinously asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Qingzhu nodded, showed a friendly smile, and asked, "Little child, what is your name and how old is this year?" ”

"My name is Ah Cheng and I'm nine years old this year." The child, Tong Acheng, tilted his head and looked at her.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?" Qingzhu asked with a curious look.

"I'm going to catch frogs," he said, jumping up and rushing outside: "Daddy would have scolded me if he knew I hadn't caught frogs." ”

After saying that, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought a few dishes, which were bacon and something small like chickens.

Shangguan Xiyue frowned, and asked with disgust, "What is this?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly and said, "The chickens and ducks have all been eaten, only some frog meat and birds, don't look at them small, but the meat is very tender and chewy." ”

Shangguan Xiyue suddenly covered her mouth, looking like she wanted to vomit but couldn't spit it out, Shangguan Xiyue and Qingzhu's faces were not much better, but they were stronger than Shangguan Xiyue, but they were only a little stronger.

Ning Yunxiao's face was very bad, not because of the food on the table, but because of the shopkeeper's words, there were no chickens and ducks, what kind of concept is this, frogs and birds are also things that eat locusts, the natural enemies of these locusts have been eliminated by humans, and it is intolerable if the locusts do not flood.

Moreover, it occurred to her what it was that had just felt wrong.

Because the ground is cracked, locusts are supposed to multiply faster in dry cracked places. There were no trees in the crops, in the river, and in this area.

"Shopkeeper, I think there is a lack of trees here, what's going on?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "In recent years, there have been several generous expansions, and a large number of trees are needed, so they cut down all the trees and exchange them for money." ”

Ning Yunxiao's face suddenly darkened, Li Yiyan hugged her worriedly, and asked, "What's wrong, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Ning Yunxiao took a few deep breaths before he said slowly: "Shopkeeper, help us prepare the room, let's go back to the room!" "I can't eat this meal, and I can't swallow those inexplicable things.

Everyone looked at that thing, they all got up and went back to the room, no one put chopsticks on those plates, Shangguan Haitang was afraid that the shopkeeper would feel uncomfortable, and specially gave him a silver ingot, this terrible shopkeeper was happy, they could eat it if they didn't eat it. I have food to eat and money to receive, which is a great thing, and I immediately served several people more dedicatedly.

Everyone except Ji Feng and Shangguan Xiyue came to Ning Yunxiao's room, just now they felt that Ning Yunxiao had something to say, but it was not easy to speak out in front of the shopkeeper, and sure enough, when everyone came to the room, Li Yiyan did not drive them all out.

"The natural enemies of locusts are chickens, ducks, frogs, and birds...... Now the people take all these things as food, and eat the locusts with whatever they want. Moreover, locusts multiply particularly quickly in dry and cracked areas. ”

Shangguan Xiyue frowned, and suddenly a flash of inspiration sounded the shopkeeper's words, and suddenly shouted: "I know, I know what's wrong, it's trees, there are very few trees in this city, I don't know why." ”

Ning Yunxiao nodded, with a solemn expression: "The place where they cut down trees and caused the locust infestation, and killed all the natural enemies of the locusts, this is the reason for the locust infestation." ”

Li Yiyan frowned and thought about Ning Yunxiao's words, although Ning Yunxiao's words just now were short, they were particularly convincing. Li Yiyan hesitated and suddenly said, "Ji Ming." ”

"Master." Ji Ming said respectfully, not forgetting the rules at all because he was outside the palace.

"Spread my will to prohibit the capture of frogs and birds in the disaster area."

"Wait a minute." Ning Yunxiao stopped Ji Feng, who was about to turn away, and then turned to Li Yiyan and said, "Shall I transform your holy decree?" ”

Li Yiyan nodded without hesitation. Ning Yunxiao was not polite to him, and said directly to Ji Ming: "You wrote on the holy decree that it is forbidden to eat chickens, ducks and geese for half a year, and it is forbidden to hunt frogs and birds. Also, plant more trees. You're explicitly mentioning one thing. Ning Yunxiao smiled before saying: "Let's just say that the emperor sent a messenger with relief materials, and if you don't worry, you will definitely solve ......the problem."

Ji Ming secretly glanced at Li Yiyan, Li Yiyan nodded slightly, and then Ji Ming turned around and walked out of the room.

"I'm a little confused." Shangguan Haitang frowned slightly and said, even if those things eat the natural enemies of locusts, they shouldn't be able to eat so much for a while.

"Remember why you came back so suddenly?" Ning Yunxiao asked hesitantly.

"The other side ends the war and goes back to defend against the threat of locusts." Shangguan Haitang said truthfully, what does this have to do with this, how can she feel that she is getting more and more confused.

"Hmph," Ning Yunxiao snorted coldly, and said with a fierce expression on his face: "Is this what they say will retreat, and attack when they say they will attack?" "If you come to provoke, you will be aware of the consequences, and she will repay her flaws.

Shangguan Haitang was speechless for a moment, looking at Ning Yunxiao for a long time and didn't know what to say, what she meant by this was that if she wanted to make those people on the border suffer or something, it should be a loss. Shangguan Haitang was a little curious, what could Ning Yunxiao do to make other countries far away from this suffer?

Ning Yunxiao deliberately rubbed twice in Li Yiyan's arms, and then didn't say anything.
