At the same time.
Pingan County, outside the city gate.
A group of people wearing the same clothes as Zhao Guang walked toward the city gate.
Zhao Guang and the others stood outside the city to welcome them.
"Lord Xue."
Zhao Guang greeted them with a smile when they approached.
"I didn't expect you to come here.”
Xue Li looked at Zhao Guang and joked.
"I have no choice. Who asked me to offend someone?”
Zhao Guang shrugged helplessly.
Obviously, he was quite familiar with the person who came.
"Offending people? You just can't take it lying down.”
Xue Li said unhappily.
"You also know that my personality is like this.”
Zhao Guang didn't mind.
"Alright, I won't waste any more time with you. In any case, with your recent achievements, you will be reassigned soon.”
Xue Li seemed to have thought of something and looked at Zhao Guang meaningfully.
"Let's enter the city first."
Under Zhao Guang's lead, Xue Li brought his men to the government office of Pingan County.
"Speaking of which, Lord Xue, you came to Pingan County this time because…"
Zhao Guang poured himself a cup of tea and asked tentatively.
"There's no need to hide it from you. After all, you're the constable of Pingan County.”
Xue Li took a sip of tea, sighed, and slowly said," I'll be straightforward. A group of people has entered your Pingan County and is preparing to create a natural disaster.”
"Who is it?"
"Aren't they just those stubborn people?"
Zhao Guang instantly understood, but he didn't say it out loud.
After all, those people were taboo to Great Qin's royal family, and they were related to the chaos in the Imperial Capital.
"What kind of natural disaster are they preparing to create?”
Zhao Guang asked.
"It's called a natural disaster, but it's not. After all, it's man-made. It might not affect those high-ranking officials and nobles. It's mainly targeted at ordinary people.”
Xue Li said.
"Is it a locust plague?"
Zhao Guang thought of it immediately.
Among all the natural disasters recorded by humans, only the locust plague was the most serious, and it was also the disaster that all ordinary people feared the most.
This was because the locust plague had wiped out the fruits of a year.
The high-ranking officials and nobles were fine. After all, they had surplus food. Even if there was no harvest, they would not be hurt at all.
However, ordinary people were different. A year of hard work was waiting for the day of the autumn harvest.
Once the land was invaded by locusts, it would definitely fall into the abyss.
If the Imperial Court didn't handle it properly, it could easily lead to a rebellion.
Xue Li didn't say anything and only nodded.
"Then why did you come here?"
"Contain the locust plague here and prevent it from leaving Pingan County.”
"Once the locust plague comes to Pingan County, it will definitely affect the Jinling Prefecture. At that time, it won't just be a county suffering, but a prefecture.”
Zhao Guang fell silent.
He understood the meaning behind Xue Li's words.
Once Pingan County was used as a battlefield, the fields here would be used to lure out the locust plague.
However, even if the locust plague was eliminated, the fields here would not be ruined.
Based on his understanding of the people in Jinling Prefecture.
It was almost impossible for the commoners in Pingan County to receive compensation.
Because it was only a county, even if there was a problem, it would not be a big threat.
"Does it have to be Pingan County?"
Zhao Guang asked unwillingly.
"It can only be Pingan County because the other party's target is Ping An County. No one can do anything about it.”
Xue Li understood what Zhao Guang meant, but what could they do since the enemy had chosen them?
It could only be said that Pingan County was unlucky.
"But don't worry, after this incident, you'll have some achievements, and you'll probably be transferred back to Jinling. You haven't been here for long anyway, don't tell me you've developed feelings for this place.”
Xue Li looked at Zhao Guang and said slowly.
"Leave everything to Milord."
Zhao Guang's face was ashen. He cupped his hands and was about to leave.
however
Zhao Guang had just pushed open the door when two long knives blocked his way.
"Zhao Guang, based on my understanding of you, do you think I will let you leave at this time?”
Xue Li said calmly as he drank his tea.
"Why?"
Zhao Guang turned around and looked at Xue Li coldly.
"You're such a straightforward person. I can guarantee that the first thing you do after you leave this door is to let those commoners carry out the autumn harvest early.”
"You just can't tolerate sand in your eyes. Think about it. Without Pingan County, there will be other places.”
Xue Li's words were sharp, but they made sense.
Seeing that Zhao Guang was silent, Xue Li stood up and smiled." You can rest here for a while. I'll apologize to you when everything is over."”
After saying that, Xue Li turned around and left, leaving two people outside Zhao Guang's room.
Zhao Guang looked at Xue Li's back, unwilling.
However, he was powerless because he could not beat them at all.
He was only a Rank-7 martial artist, while Xue Li was already a Rank-5 Xiantian martial artist.
Even if there were ten of them, they wouldn't be Xue Li's match.
Zhao Guang looked at the two guards outside the door and sighed helplessly.
The two guards were both Rank-7 martial artists, and they were Peak Rank-7. It would be difficult for him to escape.
Moreover, no one knew if there were people hiding deeper.
"Lord Xue, you've been smart all your life, but you've done such a stupid thing.”
Zhao Guang shook his head.
If he remembered correctly, that expert also had four mu of land.
Previously, he had thought that when the autumn harvest came, he would go over and help build a relationship.
Looking at it now, it was like running into a gun.
......
In the next few days, the people of Pingan County began to prepare the tools for the autumn harvest.
Everyone's faces were filled with joy because they were about to reap a bumper harvest.
These few days, Li Dao had also followed Xu Yue 'er around a few times.
"Little Uncle, I keep feeling a little uncomfortable in my heart. I seem to have an ominous feeling.”
Xu Yue 'er looked at the grains in the field, which were getting more and more abundant. She had a troubled look on her face.
The people around him were all laughing and laughing, as if everything was normal.
However, she felt that it was strange.
"There shouldn't be any big problems."
Li Dao looked around and his gaze fell on the fields." It seems that there are a lot of locusts recently."”
"But it's nothing. It's all within the controllable range and won't form a locust plague.”
Li Dao also knew that Xu Yue 'er was traumatized by the locust plague, so he comforted her.
"A locust plague?"
Xu Yue 'er thought about it and thought that it was just a psychological effect, so she stopped thinking about it.
"It's okay. Even if the locust plague comes, I will help you chase them away.”
Li Dao saw that his words were effective and continued.
"Yes, I believe in Little Uncle."
Ever since she saw how Li Dao fought the tiger last time, Xu Yue 'er understood that her little uncle was not simple.
Naturally, he was filled with confidence.
"Alright, let's go back. We'll probably be able to harvest in a few days.”
"Yes."
Xu Yue 'er nodded, and the two of them went home together.
......
Three days later.
Early in the morning, Li Dao was dragged down from his bed by Xu Yue 'er.
"Little Uncle, today is the autumn harvest day. You can't sleep in.”
When Li Dao woke up in a daze, he saw Xu Yue 'er dressed like a farmer.
The basket beside him was filled with harvesting tools.
"I'll get up now."
Seeing that Li Dao was about to get out of bed, Xu Yue 'er seemed to have thought of something. She blushed and quickly walked out of the house.
