Ten minutes later.
Li Dao walked out of the house, dressed neatly.
"Let's go, Sister-in-law."
"Yes."
The two of them accompanied each other as they rushed to the fields.
When they arrived outside the city, Li Dao's eyes narrowed.
Most of the people outside the city gate were civilians, and there were two soldiers guarding the city gate.
But today, he found a group of constables as soon as he walked out of the city gate.
And they were all unfamiliar faces.
Where was Zhao Guang?
The biggest question was why these people were standing there.
Could it be that there were still demons attacking Pingan County during the autumn harvest?
However, it was impossible. If there was really a demon invasion, these constables would not have come out in public.
"The atmosphere feels weird."
Xu Yue 'er whispered to the constable.
"No problem. I'll be there if anything happens.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dao frowned and looked into the distance.
He sensed that something was coming from the north.
"Sister-in-law, follow me closely later."
Li Dao turned to Xu Yue 'er and said.
"Oh."
Although she didn't understand why, she still listened to her little uncle.
......
On the city wall.
"It's almost here."
Xue Li stood on the city wall and looked at the distant sky as he silently thought to himself.
Apart from the constables below the city wall, there were also many people standing on the city wall.
It was to wipe out the locust army outside of Pingan County.
......
"Young Master Li, Young Master Li."
Li Dao and Xu Yue 'er had just walked into the field. Before they could start working, they heard someone calling him from behind.
He opened his eyes and saw a bailiff running over anxiously.
"Little Wang?"
When the man approached, Li Dao recognized him as Zhao Guang's second-in-command.
"Young Master Li, the locust plague…The locust plague is coming!"
Little Wang gasped and said with difficulty.
"A locust plague?"
Hearing this, Xu Yue 'er was so frightened that she looked panicked.
"Where is the locust plague?"
Li Dao hurriedly asked.
"This is the place. Someone is trying to create a locust plague. The people from Jinling want to deal with it.”
Little Wang's face was pale as he spoke intermittently.
At this moment, Li Dao realized that there was a knife wound on Little Wang's back.
"This is…"
Little Wang turned around and took a look. He endured the pain and laughed dryly." Our boss is grounded. He brought the news and asked us to inform you as soon as possible.”
"But he was stopped by those people from Jinling and got injured in a fight.”
Hearing this, Li Dao frowned and said," Are the others alright?"”
"It's fine. I didn't kill him. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to escape.”
"As expected of an elite constable from Jinling.”
Little Wang sucked in a cold breath and forced a smile.
"You're injured and you're still running in such a hurry.”
Li Dao shook his head speechlessly. He reached out and tapped Little Wang a few times to stop the bleeding.
"Didn't I want to inform you? You guys should quickly enter the city. The locusts will probably come in waves later.”
Little Wang hurriedly said.
"There's no need. Let me see how this locust plague is.”
Li Dao looked to the side.
At this moment, Xu Yue 'er's eyes were filled with fear, as if she had fallen into a painful memory.
"Come here."
At this moment, Little Wang's gaze suddenly turned to the northern sky.
Li Dao turned around and saw a black line hanging in the sky in the distance, forming a straight line.
They continued to fly towards An County.
This scene was also seen by many commoners in the fields.
"Look, what is that?"
"Is it a bird? It looks like a wild goose."
"It's too far away, but they seem to be flying towards us.”
Just as everyone was discussing, black raindrops suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Someone subconsciously took a look and was instantly terrified.
This was because these were not raindrops, but black locusts.
After landing in the fields, they crazily bit the grains in the fields.
"Not good, it's locusts!"
A cry of alarm made all the farmers in the field panic.
"Damned locusts, let go of my food.”
Some hot-blooded youths saw this and wanted to stomp on these black locusts with red eyes.
However, in the next second, the locusts suddenly gave up on their food and turned to look at the humans who attacked them with their scarlet eyes.
Suddenly, she pounced over.
Very quickly, it wrapped around the person's entire body.
These people began to fall to the ground and struggle in panic, but there were too many locusts and they could not break free at all.
When the locusts dispersed again, people saw a terrifying scene.
The man was as thin as a stick, and there was not a trace of blood on him.
It was as if his blood had been sucked dry.
"Ahhhh, the locusts are killing people, they are killing people.”
"Run, these locusts can suck blood.”
“......”
With a wave of panic, everyone in the field rushed out of the field.
At the same time.
The black shadow in the distance approached.
At this moment, people could clearly see what these black shadows were.
It was not a bird, but a black cloud formed by locusts.
Wherever they passed, all the vegetation disappeared.
If they dared to attack them, they would be attacked together and their blood would be sucked dry.
In short, these were all extraordinary locusts.
This time, everyone no longer had the joy of the autumn harvest.
In front of food, life was more precious.
At this moment, Xu Yue 'er was hugging Li Dao's arm tightly. Her legs were weak and she could not even stand steadily.
"Young Master Li, what should we do now?"
Seeing the locusts so ferocious, Little Wang was a little panicked.
If it was a demon, he would still have the courage to fight it to the death.
However, just looking at the locusts that filled the sky made one's heart turn cold.
"Just cover your ears."
Li Dao stroked Xu Yue 'er's hair and whispered.
Although Xiaowang didn't understand why, she still covered her ears strangely.
Li Dao covered Xu Yue 'er's ears with his hands.
......
At the same time.
Xue Li and the others were still standing on top of the city building.
"Milord, when should we make our move?"
Xue Li's assistant asked in a low voice.
"Wait for a while more. Once the locusts have completely entered the field, we'll make our move. If we want to do it, we'll capture them all in one fell swoop.”
Xue Li looked at the fleeing people and the rampaging locusts below the city wall. His expression was abnormally cold, and his gaze did not waver at all.
"Yes."
The deputy nodded and turned to shout," Everyone, get ready.”
"Understood."
The constables shouted loudly. Each of them had a cloth bag on their backs.
It contained the things that could be used to deal with locusts.
Seeing the largest swarm of locusts getting closer and closer, Xue Li slowly raised his right hand.
The surrounding constables sat down and got ready.
"Move!"
Just as Xue Li was about to shout for action, suddenly, a heaven-shaking roar resounded through the sky.
