In the evening, the new house of the Xiangwang Mansion in Luoyang, the capital

Longji sat on the edge of the bed, holding the beauty's hand and accompanying the beauty, and actually leaned on the edge of the bed and fell asleep tired.

After a while, the beauty woke up and saw Longji asleep, and couldn't help but feel pity.

At this time, Xiaozhi came in with a bowl and shouted, "County Lord, it's time to eat."

Longji was awakened and said in surprise, "Huh? Dine? So fast?"

Xiaozhi smiled, "You've been here with the county lord for an afternoon, and it's evening now, so of course it's time to eat."

The beauty was surprised, "I actually slept for so long? Longi, go to dinner, you don't need to accompany me."

Longji came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Don't worry, come, I'll help you up to eat." Helping the beauty to sit on the edge of the bed, he turned around and said, "Come, give me the bowl."

Xiaozhi wondered, "Ah......"

Longji said, "What are you, bring it." As he spoke, he took the bowl and turned around and said, "Come, I'll feed you." As he spoke, he sat on the edge of the bed and carefully picked up a green vegetable and sent it over.

The beauty was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No need, I'll eat it myself, you go and eat, don't be hungry." As he spoke, he was going to take the bowl.

Longji stopped, "Hey, don't move, you have to listen to me until your injuries are healed."

The beauty looked at Longji's firm eyes, hesitated and said helplessly, "Hmm."

Longji said, "Come, open your mouth, and eat."

The beauty hesitated and opened her mouth to take it, bowed her head and chewed, and couldn't help but feel happy and moved in her heart......

Xiaozhi watched from the sidelines, rejoiced in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle, it would be good if you were to be like this to the county lord in the future."

Longji smiled, "Okay, then I'll keep feeding you from now on, okay?"

The beauty said angrily, "Don't listen to the nonsense of the twig."

Three days later, in the morning, the new house of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Luoyang, the capital

The beauty lies on the bed, holding on to the edge of the bed and sits up to get out of bed.

At this time, Longji pushed the door in from the outside, was startled when he saw this, and hurriedly ran over to help him, "Why did you get up by yourself? Lie down, lie down."

The beauty hurriedly said, "I want to go out for a walk."

Longji hurriedly said, "Go? How does this work? You're not completely healed, so lie down."

The beauty hurriedly said, "I've been lying down for three days, and I'm getting better, it's really nothing."

Longji was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Do you really want to go out?"

The beauty nodded and said, "Lying in bed all day, it's so stuffy, I want to go out and breathe."

Longji hesitated and nodded, "Okay, come, I'll help you up." Help the beauty to sit up.

At this time, Xiaozhi came in from outside, and was surprised to see this, "The county lord ......."

Longji hurriedly said, "Beauty, she wants to go out for a walk, you come over and help the beauty change her clothes, I'll come when I go...... Beauty, you wait." Said to hurry out in a hurry.

Xiaozhi watched Longji go out and said in surprise, "Uncle, what is he doing?"

The beauty hurriedly said, "Don't worry about it, help me change my clothes."

Twig hurriedly said, "Oh." Busy looking for clothes in the cupboard.

After a while, Xiaozhi helped the beauty get dressed, and said, "County Lord, you look so good in this dress, and you are more energetic."

The beauty sneered, "Don't be naughty."

At this time, when he saw Longji pushing a wooden wheelchair in, the beauty and Xiaozhi were startled, and Xiaozhi was surprised: "Uncle, what is this?"

Longji smiled: "This is specially made by the carpenter, when the injury is not completely healed, you can sit and go out for a walk, and you can also sit and rest when you are tired, do you think it?"

Xiaozhi said happily: "Okay, of course, uncle, you are really thoughtful, county lord, come, try it quickly."

Longji hurriedly said, "Come on, try it." Saying that, he sat down with Koji Fumei.

The beauty hurriedly said, "This ...... Won't you be laughed at?"

Longji smiled: "What are you laughing at, what's so funny, come, I'll help you." As he spoke, he helped the beauty to sit down carefully.

Xiaozhi looked at it and said, "

Look, the size is just right."

Longji said, "Let's go to the garden and relax." Pushing the beauty outside.

The beauty was startled, and hurriedly grabbed the handrail and said, "Slow down......

After a while, LONGi pushed the beauty in a wheelchair to walk slowly on the path in the back garden, surrounded by birds and flowers, the beauty breathed in the fresh air, and reveled, "The air outside is good, it's really fragrant."

Longji said, "Then I will push you out every day from now on."

The beauty rejoiced, "Yes."

Longi looked ahead and said, "Let's go to the front and have a look."

The beauty nodded, "Yes."

Xiaozhi watched Longji push the beauty from behind, and for a while, he hesitated and quietly walked away.

After a while, Longji pushed the beauty to a grassy stone table, and the beauty asked, "Are you tired? Sit down."

Longji nodded, "Hmm." As he spoke, he sat next to him and looked at the beauty.

The beauty said shyly, "What are you doing? Is there something on my face?"

Longji shook his head, held the beauty's hand and said softly, "Do you know, you really scared me that night, and I was really worried...... Seeing you slowly get better, I'm relieved, you must get better soon, you know?"

The beauty was moved, "Aren't I almost all right?"

Longji said seriously, "I want you to be completely well."

The beauty shyly said, "Hmm."

Longji smiled and said seriously, "This time you are good, I will definitely treat you well, protect you, and never let you be hurt again."

The beauty was moved in her heart and said softly, "I know." After thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said, "You said Sister Xiu, have you returned to the demon world now?"

Longji hesitated and said, "I think it's time to arrive."

The beauty held Longji's hand, gently leaned on Longji's shoulder, and murmured, "I really hope Aixue can come back soon......

The main hall of the Demon King's Palace

Sister Xiu, the princesses, the elders, the nurses, the unicorns and others gathered in the main hall, and everyone looked nervous.

But I saw Sister Xiu take out the net bottle, pull out the stopper, and said softly, "Ninth sister, we're home, come out." Everyone was nervous.

A white light flew out of the bottle and landed on the ground, revealing the spirit of Aixue.

Everyone was surprised, "Ninth sister ......"

"Nine Princesses......

Ai Xue said happily: "Nurse, third sister, fourth sister, you, you are all here?"

The third princess said happily, "Ninth sister...... It's great that you're back."

The princesses chimed in, "Yes, that's great."

"Great......

The nurse was so happy that she cried, and said excitedly: "Ninth princess......" reached out to pull Aixue, but it was empty, and everyone was shocked.

Sister Xiu hurriedly said: "Although the ninth sister is back, but she has just completed the soul unity, she is still in a soul state, and she is still very weak, I brought her back to let her cultivate here well, and use the power of the spirit bead to cultivate back to the flesh."

The nurse suddenly realized, nodded and said, "As long as the ninth princess can come back, anything is fine." All the princesses nodded yes.

At this time, Elder Ling bowed down and said, "The old minister has seen the Ninth Princess."

Ai Xue was surprised, "Are you?"

Sister Xiu hurriedly said, "This Elder Antelope is an old minister of my father, and we were able to drive the army of the Demon Realm out of the Demon Realm, thanks to Elder Antelope's help in contacting other tribes."

Ai Xue suddenly realized, and hurriedly said, "Elder Ling, I've worked hard."

Elder Ling bowed down and said, "It is natural to serve the king, it is not hard, it is not hard."

Sister Xiu said, "Ninth Sister, since you are back, you should have no distractions and cultivate here with peace of mind, hoping to recover your physical body as soon as possible, you know?"

Aixue nodded, "yes, I see."

Everyone nodded yes, and there was a burst of joy.

Demon Realm Palace's cultivation secret room

The air-conditioning in the closed secret room was pressing, and the thousand-year-old spiritual bed in it was bubbling with a hint of cold

Gas.

At this time, the door of the cave quacked open, and Sister Xiu came in with Aixue, the nurse and the princesses.

Sister Xiu looked around, pointed to the spirit bed and said, "This is our thousand-year-old spirit bed in the demon world, with the blessing of the spiritual energy of the demon world, as long as you sit on it and cultivate, you will achieve twice the result with half the effort, I will hand over the spirit bead to you in a while, and if you use the spirit bead to meditate and cultivate here, it will be more effective."

Aixue nodded, "I see."

Sister Xiu said, "Then you can sit on it."

Ai Xue hurriedly said, "Okay." Saying that, she sat on the thousand-year-old spiritual bed and meditated, Sister Xiu slowly spit out the spirit bead and pushed it to Aixue's palm, and the spirit bead fell on Aixue's palm, emitting bursts of soft light.

Sister Xiu looked at it and said, "You are cultivating here, if you have anything, you can call us."

Aixue nodded, "Hmm." Suddenly remembering something, he hurriedly said, "Hey, wait."

Sister Xiu wondered, "What's wrong?"

Ai Xue said carefully, "Is there any way you can do it, can you contact the human world?"

The princesses were stunned, and Sister Xiu reproached, "I know you can't rest assured...... Okay, there is a kind of spirit creature in our demon world called the spirit harrier, you go out once a month, if you have anything to say, just tell this spirit harrier, and the spirit harrier will fly to the world with your words and transfer it to Longji, if he has anything to say, you can also let the spirit harrier transfer it to you, now you can rest assured that you can cultivate, right?"

Aixue said happily, "Well, then I'm relieved." qs

Sister Xiu was helpless for a while, and hurriedly said, "You cultivate well, let's go out." Take the sisters out.

Aixue watched everyone go out and said happily, "Longji, you must wait for me, we can meet again soon." Looking around, he happily closed his eyes and concentrated on cultivation, and a soft mana emanated from the spirit bead, circling around Aixue's soul......

A month later, the main hall of the Luoyang Imperial Palace in the capital

In the early dynasty, Wu Zetian sat on the throne, and the ministers such as Longji and Zhang Cambodia stood in columns.

At this time, a minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, Henan Province reported urgently, and a large-scale locust plague broke out in the Qingzhou area, resulting in the wheat and other crops that had just grown seedlings being eaten completely, and a large number of people were displaced and left their homes. As he spoke, he respectfully handed over the fold.

The ministers were shocked and discussed, "Another plague of locusts?"

"Alas, wherever the locusts pass, there is no grain."

"yes, what can I do about this?"

"No, this is the third locust plague of the year." They all shook their heads and sighed.

Gonggong Hong took the song and bowed and handed it to Wu Zetian, Wu Zetian looked at it, and thought: "The plague of locusts in the north has been a disaster for a long time, and the people have suffered greatly.

Zhang Cambodia hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister obeys the order."

Wu Zetian said: "The plague of locusts is a huge disaster, every year, the imperial court is often exhausted but unable to grasp the essentials, what can you do to deal with this matter."

All the ministers were stunned for a moment, hesitated and stood with their heads bowed, silent, Wu San thought and said: "Your Majesty, the plague of locusts, the right strategy for the symptoms, is nothing more than to allocate relief food and silver for disaster relief, to solve the urgent need, it has been for generations, I am afraid there is no good strategy."

Wu Zetian said: "That's why I asked you if you had any good plans, and you all gave me some thought about them and saw what good plans there were."

Wu Sansi retreated in embarrassment, Wu Zetian looked at everyone, saw that everyone bowed their heads and was silent, a moment of disappointment, and turned to Longji: "Longji, what countermeasures do you have?"

Longji stood up and bowed and said, "Imperial grandmother, grandson has thought of a plan."

Wu Zetian was surprised: "Oh? If there is any good plan, tell me quickly."

Longji bowed down and said: "In addition to natural causes, there is a big reason why the plague of locusts is so bad, in addition to natural causes, is that the people are superstitious that the plague of locusts is punished by God, so whenever the plague of locusts hits, the people not only do not take measures to exterminate the locusts, but instead spend a lot of money to buy sacrifices such as three animals and six animals, praying for God's blessing

In some places, with the help of the plague of locusts, in the name of sacrifice, parents and officials colluded with evil sects and crooked ways, and in the name of sacrifice, they made a lot of ill-gotten gains, so the grandson thought that the imperial court should issue a decree prohibiting the holding of sacrifices when the locust plague broke out, encourage the extermination of locusts, and reward those who have contributed to the extermination of locusts, which I believe can have an immediate effect."

All the ministers were shocked, and they all nodded yes, and Zhang Cambodia echoed: "Your Majesty, what the county king said is very true, and it is right to the point."

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "I also think what Longji said is very true, so according to what you can see, how should the imperial court deal with this Qingzhou locust plague?"

Longji bowed down and said, "The disaster in Qingzhou is so wide in scope that it affects hundreds of thousands of people, so Sun Er thinks that in addition to what he just said, the imperial court should also send a powerful minister to deal with this matter. First, it can supervise the distribution of grain and silver for disaster relief to ensure the basic livelihood of the affected people; second, it can drive away superstition, prevent illegal acts of magistrates, and stabilize local law and order; third, to preside over the extermination of locusts, so that the disaster can pass as soon as possible; Fourth, we are responsible for replanting the affected crops to alleviate the disaster and allow the people to resume production as soon as possible."

The ministers all nodded and said, "Well, that makes sense."

"Yes, this locust plague occurs every year, and when it happens, food and silver are allocated, and it is not enough to spend."

"Well, that's a good idea."

"Good way."

Wu Zetian thought for a moment and nodded, "Well, ladies and gentlemen, do you have any comments to add to what Longji said just now?"

The ministers bowed and said, "The ministers have no opinion."
