Chapter 506: Disappearing
Chu Xia nodded, his head kept resting on Jing Yuan's arms, not speaking, he was only willing to feel this comfortable and beautiful life, and he couldn't bear to talk anymore and disturb this tranquility.
Jing Yuan didn't speak, just silently hugged Chu Xia, put his chin on Chu Xia's head, and looked at the sky in the distance with a gentle face.
However, this kind of peaceful and comfortable life will always be broken by some things, just like that, the good times didn't last long, and something strange happened that made everyone feel strange, and Chu Xia and Jing Yuan were both confused when they knew it.
"What? All the food is gone? The surplus food at home is gone? What's going on? Did you find anything?"
Jing Yuan and Chu Xia sat on the main seat of the main hall and heard the ministers playing, and asked with shocked expressions.
"Your Majesty, yes, all the food of the people is gone, there is no trace of it, and now there is no food in the whole country except for the palace, and now the people are hungry and unbearable." The minister who spoke didn't know what was going on.
Jing Yuan looked at Chu Xia with a surprised expression and asked, "Xia'er, what do you think about this matter?" I think it's very strange, how could food disappear overnight?"
Chu Xia also looked surprised and incredulous, and replied, "My thoughts are the same as yours, this time, I don't know who did it, why is everything coming at Chen Guo every time, the answer is obvious, it's against me!"
"Well, I don't know if it's Nangong Huo and their ghosts this time, after all, only they will be so despicable and shameless, taking ordinary people to open the knife."
"Not necessarily, after all, we have too many enemies, now Nangong Huo is watched very closely by the people of the God Domain, and the Realm Keepers have also strengthened their precautions, it is impossible for their people to come to the Nether Realm easily, and this time it looks a bit like a large-scale operation, so I think it is a little impossible to be them!"
Chu Xia began to calm down after being surprised, calmly analyzing, Jing Yuan nodded and agreed, what Chu Xia said was indeed very reasonable.
"It's true that I was careless and negligent, and I didn't think of this level, but now the primary problem is food, now the people are hungry, we can open the national warehouse, so that the people can receive food, we can't let them go hungry!"
Speaking of this, Jing Yuan turned his head to look at the minister and said, "Go down with all your might, open the warehouse and release grain, and make sure that all the people have something to eat!"
"Yes!" The ministers who were given the task quickly disappeared from the main hall and went down to prepare to open a warehouse to release grain and help the people.
Jing Yuan and Chu Xia were also busy all day and felt very tired, so they quickly went back to rest, after all, it was already midnight.
Although the warehouse was opened to release grain, there was not much grain in the treasury, and there were so many people, and after a few days, the grain in the treasury was gone, and there was nothing to eat even in the palace.
Jing Yuan had been investigating this matter, and Chu Xia was also busy cultivating, because she knew that this matter might be aimed at her, and it was definitely not easy for someone to be so powerful. Chu Xia speculated in her heart that in the near future, she would have a fierce battle, so she must hurry up and cultivate, and it would not be too difficult to deal with when the time came.
However, cultivation is very physically demanding, and for several days, the palace has been in a state of starvation, although cultivators can not eat, but for those who have been cultivating, it is very difficult not to eat.
Everything couldn't keep up, so after a few days, Chu Xia was getting thinner and thinner, and Jing Yuan saw that Chu Xia had lost so much weight in a few days, and he was very distressed to look at it.
"I'm sorry, Xia'er, I've made you suffer, I'm a big country that has no food, and after checking for a few days, the guards didn't find anything, it seems that we have met a strong opponent this time!"
Chu Xia looked at Jing Yuan's face with guilt, so he hugged Jing Yuan's arm and said, "Oops! Isn't it better to lose weight? What's more, I think this incident is coming at me, or am I causing you to be a burden, causing the people of Chenguo to go hungry!"
Jing Yuan shook his head and said, "That's it, the people of Chenguo won't blame you, not to mention that we still don't know why things have turned out like this, so don't think about it yet, let's discuss it first and see how these grains disappeared."
of!"
"That's right, there are a lot of strange things about this, how could so much food disappear overnight? Without the knowledge of Baixi, a master like us would have such a move, but so many people have so many masters, I won't believe it!"
"I think so, too, it's too strange that these grains have disappeared, and since it's not, could it be that people are talking about demonic beasts? But low-level demonic beasts have no intelligence, and their movements will not be so light, and it seems that it is unlikely that they were made by demonic beasts!"
"Yes, and in the city, how can there be so many demonic beasts, it seems that it will be very difficult to solve this matter!"
"I don't know what to do, I've already sent out the Ouchi master guards to investigate this matter, but they haven't found anything strange, and they haven't found anything!" Jing Yuan said very seriously.
Jing Yuan thought of those hungry people, as well as Chu Xia who was getting thinner and thinner in front of him, the expression on his face was very ugly, Chu Xia also guessed what Jing Yuan was thinking and said, "Ah Yuan, listen to me!"
"No news doesn't mean it's bad news, this matter is very strange, and it should be expected that the master of the Ouchi guards can't find out this result, isn't it?"
"Yes, I also guessed that what they found would be this result, but when I knew, I would still be a little panicked in my heart, and if this continues, it is estimated that the people will starve to death! Hey!" Jing Yuan's face was decadent and tired.
Chu Xia looked very distressed, and said, "You are the king of a country, it is inconvenient to investigate this matter, and now the masters of the inner world can't investigate it, leave this matter to me, I'll investigate."
"No, it's too dangerous this time for you to go, like you said, what if they're really coming for you? When I don't have you by then, you're going to get hurt!"
As soon as he heard that Chu Xia was going to investigate this matter in person, Jing Yuan was very opposed, he was afraid that something would happen to Chu Xia.
"Ah Yuan, listen to me, it's okay, as the king of a country, you must stabilize the people's hearts and the army's heart, you can't watch the people of a country starve to death, right? Don't worry, I'll protect myself and won't get hurt!"
Finally, under Chu Xia's oath, Jing Yuan finally nodded and agreed with Chu Xia to investigate this matter, but the premise was that Chu Xia wanted to protect himself and not let himself be injured, Chu Xia promised!
Chu Xia came out of the palace and saw a common person, so he stepped forward and asked, "Hello, I want to ask, did all your food disappear overnight?"
"Girl, how is this possible, our food is all in batches and disappeared overnight, otherwise they would not have so many people to talk about our food!" The people replied with a smile.
"So, did you feel that something wrong was happening before that, or something strange was happening to the grain, or something?" Chu Xia asked tentatively again.
The people replied, "No, nothing strange happened, just all of a sudden, all of a s
"Thank you!" Chu Xia asked several ordinary people in a row to no avail, and she couldn't help but be deeply shocked, but she immediately cheered up again and continued to look for clues.
She didn't believe that so much food would disappear overnight, it was impossible that no clues would be left, and there would definitely be some clues left, but she hadn't found it yet.
On the other side of the Divine Domain, Nangong Huo calmly picked up a cup of tea, drank it, looked at Mei Niang and said, "How are things going?"
Mei Niang knelt down and clasped her fists with both hands, and said respectfully to Nangong Huo: "Back to the master, the matter is still going very smoothly, no one has found it, not even Jing Yuan and Chu Xia have not found any clues!"
Hearing Mei Niang's words, Nangong Huo looked at Mei Niang with a smile and said, "Yes, you did a very good job in this mission, and you didn't disappoint me, by the way, what about the grain you harvested? Didn't put it in Tatsukoku, did it?"
Mei Niang replied, "My subordinates don't dare, if they are placed in the Chen Kingdom, Chu Xia
They're going to find it, and they're putting it in the Spatial Ring, so don't even think about it!"
At this moment, Nangong Huo was even more satisfied with Mei Niang's approach, and stood up directly and smiled and helped Mei Niang to the ground with his own hands.
Mei Niang was flattered, her face turned red, the master is so good to me, I must complete all the tasks assigned to me by the master, including killing Chu Xia, I can make the master disappoint me.
"Okay, Mei Niang, you go down first, Su Xiqu is waiting for you outside, you go and see what's going on!" Nangong Huo Thief said happily.
Mei Niang retired, a face of surprise and panic and a little shy, seeing Mei Niang's expression, Su Xiqu said jokingly: "What's the matter, my lord, how can you come out of the hall with a shy face?"
"It can't be that you and your master have done some ulterior little secret inside, look at you to be shy! It's a lot of imagination!"
"Shut up, what nonsense! It's just that you make a joke about me, and you dare to make a joke about the master, I will spare you this time, and if there is a next time, it will definitely be punished heavily!" Mei Niang replied with a red face.
Su Xiqu nodded knowingly, Mei Niang was very satisfied, and her tone of voice was also full of delicateness: "Just now the master said that you are waiting for me outside, and you have something to do with me, is there something wrong?"
"Lord Huiyu, I heard that you went to Chenguo once, and my subordinates don't know what kind of things you did to make the master so happy, so I want to know what you did!"
