Jiaozhou, above the city tower of Liu County, Liu Chengjun, who is the county magistrate of Liu County, is pacing back and forth at the head of the city full of anxiety. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord County Commander, the Holy Power Silver Ticket on the Great Array of Protectors...... It's going to run out again. And there are not many Shengli silver tickets in stock in our county government...... This...... What should I do?"

The county Cheng Tian Cong was also full of sadness, he had just explored the city protection array on the city tower, and immediately hurriedly ran to report to the county commander Liu Chengjun.

"What? The 100,000 taels of silver tickets that were added just yesterday were used up so quickly......? This big array of city protectors is so powerful!"

As soon as he heard that the Shengli silver ticket was about to run out again, the forehead of the county commander Liu Chengjun wrinkled into a "three" shape again.

"Yes, Lord County Commander, even if this city protection array does not encounter the locust army attacking the city, the daily consumption is almost 100,000 taels of holy power silver tickets. Now in the treasury, there are only seventy or eighty thousand taels of holy power silver tickets left, which is less than a day's needs, what should I do?"

County Cheng Tian Cong had no choice but to cry to Liu Chengjun, the county commander of Liu County.

"Hey...... The situation has been reported to the monarch, and we believe that help will come soon. Tian Xiancheng, you immediately go and put up a notice and ask the wealthy families in the county to donate the Shengli Silver Ticket! As long as we suffer for a few more days, there will definitely be rescue ......."

Originally, the county commander Liu Chengjun didn't want to reach out to the people and the wealthy families no matter what. But now, the locust plague suddenly broke out in the past two days, and the city protection array was urgently activated, and the holy power silver tickets in the county government treasury were almost rapidly consumed, and 100,000 taels of holy power silver tickets were consumed every day, and even when they were besieged by the locust army on the first day, they directly consumed more than 300,000 taels of holy power silver tickets before they were carried down.

However, Liu County is only a small border county, and the silver deposit in the county treasury is only five or six hundred thousand taels of silver. After a few days of tossing, they are basically running out, and they also have to open a warehouse to provide relief to the victims who have poured into the city, which makes the county commander Liu Chengjun feel even more difficult and constrained.

"My subordinates are going to put up notices...... However, some of the people who fled into the city seem to be contaminated with scrub worms, and now it has caused panic and spread in the city, most of the people are hiding at home and dare not go out, and many of the victims are also gathered in several places, I am afraid that ...... It's going to cause a riot in the city!"

At this time, before the county Chengtian Cong finished speaking, he suddenly saw a horse-drawn carriage with thick smoke billowing from the northeast of Liu County, which circled a few times from a distance and drove over quickly.

"Lord Prefectural Order...... Quick look...... The carriage...... How...... Why don't there be horses? and...... They were able to escape the siege of an army of millions of locusts and come towards our Liu County......"

County Cheng Tian Cong opened his mouth wide, and looked at Su Lin's Su Lin car in the blink of an eye from hundreds of meters away to the bottom of the city tower, and said in surprise.

"What? A carriage without horses? What is that...... He was able to break out of the army of locusts...... This...... Are they Confucian scholars who have come to our aid?"

Liu Chengjun, the county commander, looked at this wild loess, and suddenly a carriage was spitting smoke, and he rushed out of the encirclement of the locust army, and he was really startled.

You must know that the army of locusts outside is millions of dollars, even if the Great Confucian is besieged in it, it is not easy to get out, but now a carriage has such a fast speed, breaking out of the army of locusts, without being surrounded, it is impossible for the county commander Liu Chengjun to look at it differently.

"Wu Guozhen Guogong, Su Lin, the son of the Su family, has come to support Jiaozhou in fighting the locust plague! ”

Ye Hongye, a university scholar, stood at the front of the car, using the holy power spell, and shouted loudly towards the city tower.

"Su Lin, Zhen Guogong, right...... It's Su Lin, the genius who broke the "Twenty-Four Filial Piety Pictures" not long ago, hurry up...... Tian County Cheng, quickly open the door and let Zhenguo Gong Su Lin enter the city, no wonder...... No wonder he has such a skill, and there is also a disciple of a university scholar, it turns out that Su Shizi is here. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Su Lin's name, Liu Chengjun, the county commander, did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered people to open the city gate.

"Shizi, the guards upstairs should know your name, and the city gate has been opened. All we have to do is enter the gates, and we will be safe. However, if there are no reinforcements in such a small county, it is estimated that it will be difficult to hold on for many days. We must come up with a way to wipe out the locust army within this time. ”

Seeing that the gate of the city tower had been opened, Ye Hongye, a university scholar, immediately ordered Su Lin's car to drive in, and at the same time briefly explained the current situation to Su Lin.

"Well, this Liu County's city protection array is indeed not very powerful, and it can only be avoided for a while. But it's enough, Lao Ye, let's enter the county seat first, visit the county order of Liu County, explain the situation to him, and then Xu Tu exterminates. ”

Su Lin nodded, he looked at Su Ye and the others in the car, the holy power was almost exhausted, and the army of locusts behind them came in hot pursuit, and the situation was really not optimistic.

The city gate of Liu County is not big, only allowing two carriages to run side by side, but now the people of the villages near Liu County have fled, some have fled to other states, and some have fled into Liu County, and there are no more cars and horses coming and going, so as soon as he entered Liu County, Su Lin saw the bleak streets, closed businesses, and the refugees wandering the streets.

"Liu Chengjun, the county commander of Liu County, together with the county Cheng Tian Cong and a group of officials, greet the town of Guogong!"

Just when Su Lin ordered Su Lin's car to be stopped temporarily, a group of Liu County officials quickly walked down from the city tower, and it was the Liu County officials led by Liu Chengjun, the county commander, who greeted Su Lin and the others.

"Liu County Order, I am now a student of Guozijian, and I came to Jiaozhou to support after being ordered by the monarch. Dare to ask what is the situation in Liu County now? When did the locust plague break out?"

Su Lin didn't expect that as soon as he entered the city, he would meet the head officials of the entire Liu County, so he was not polite, and directly asked Liu Chengjun about the current disaster situation.

"Su Shizi, this locust plague broke out three days ago, and at that time it was just a few waves of more than 100,000 locusts, which swept through several villages, causing panic among the people. At that time, I had already sent the Confucian scholars in the county to exterminate the locust plague, but unexpectedly...... Later, there were more and more locusts, and in the end, they became entangled into millions of giants, sweeping all the villages near Liu County, and burning thousands of acres of fertile land!"

As soon as the county magistrate Liu Chengjun saw the arrival of Su Lin and others, he immediately opened the chatterbox, in the past few days, the pressure on him as a county magistrate is too great, and no one can tell him, so when he sees Su Lin and others, he can't wait to pour out all the pressure he has received in the past few days.

"So serious......? What is the situation in the county now? Liu County Order, how long can this great array of city protectors be able to support?"

Su Lin frowned, he didn't expect that this locust plague would be so serious, it would destroy all the villages in a county, and in the end, only such a county town would be left alone!

"Su Shizi, the county town's protective array, consumes more than 100,000 taels of holy power silver tickets every day. Ay...... Today, our county government has insufficient stock...... I'm afraid I can only resist it for another day or two. I have asked the county to put up a notice asking several wealthy families in the city to help......"

Before Liu Chengjun finished speaking, Su Lin generously took out 300,000 taels of silver tickets and said, "Liu County Order, here are 300,000 taels of holy power silver tickets, which is enough to support the great array of city protection for three days. Count on my modest strength, and then I would like you to prepare a place for us to stay, and we may rest for a while to find a way to deal with these locusts. ”

Seeing that Su Ye and the others around him who had exhausted their victories, including Su Lin himself, had been on the road for more than a day, and they also needed to find a place to rest. As for the 300,000 taels of silver tickets he took out, it was nothing to Su Lin, and when he saw that Liu Xianling was worried because of the Shengli silver ticket, he naturally took it out very generously.

And Liu Chengjun, the county commander, had never seen such a generous Confucian scholar, even the children of those wealthy scholars could wave out the 300,000 taels of holy power silver tickets so easily, which was rare.

After receiving Su Lin's 300,000 taels of silver tickets, Liu Chengjun, the county commander, hurriedly instructed Tian Cong, the county commander: "Tian Xiancheng, immediately lead Su Shizi and others to my county mansion, and arrange for them to live in the guest rooms in my mansion, and they must not be neglected." ”

"Su Shizi, please come with me......"

Tian Xiancheng was also the first time to meet a Confucian scholar of Su Lin's level, of course he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately took Su Lin and others to the county mansion to rest. Liu County is only a small border county, so it is very backward in terms of people's livelihood and economy, and together with this county order, it is no different from ordinary people's houses.

At this time, in Liu County, among the people who ran into the county in a panic, an unexpected disaster was quietly spreading. Many of the people who fled to Liu County since the beginning of the locust plague were infected with scrub insects.

These scrub worms, when they first entered their bodies, were only the size of their thumbs, but after these few days of eating the flesh and blood and organs of their bodies, these scrub worms have begun to grow, and there are even some female scrub worms, constantly laying eggs and hatching in the people's bodies, and then secretly releasing more scrub worms.

In the first few days, this change was not obvious, but as more and more scrub insects were fought, more and more people died, and the scrub insect epidemic in the entire county was completely uncontrollable.
