Outside Yingtian City, in front of three acres of fertile farmland.
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, and behind him stood all the officials above the third rank.
The group of people had been waiting here for a long time, but because the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Royal Guards were going to capture Fei Huang alive, there were not many guards around.
The weather was hot. Even though it was almost evening, it was still stuffy and uncomfortable. Even Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe was soaked in his sweat, not to mention Li Shanchang and Liu Bowen.
"This unfilial son, why hasn't he come yet?”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky worriedly and frowned,"
"There's only half an incense's time left until Shen Shi.”
Liu Bowen wiped the sweat off his face. When he heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said,
"Your Majesty, don't be anxious. If His Highness the King of Qin's locust killing spirit can really stop the locust plague, then it's worth it to wait a little longer.”
Lee Shan Chang narrowed his eyes and deliberately said,"
"Brother Bowen's words are reasonable, but I'm afraid that if His Highness the King of Qin doesn't come, things will change!”
"I still remember how confident and confident His Highness the King of Qin was at the Hall of Heaven's Tribute just now.”
"I thought we would be able to see His Highness the King of Qin after coming here. I didn't expect us to have to wait for so long. Is there something wrong with the so-called Miehuang Spirit?”
Li Shan Chang's words caused all the officials above the third rank in the capital to look doubtful, but they did not say anything out of respect for Zhu Yuanzhang. However, they were already certain that Zhu Xiong would not come.
After all, this was the style of His Highness the King of Qin. It had always been like this, just like how the sun would never rise from the west. There would never be any change.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, his expression was extremely gloomy. His large hands grabbed the armrest of the dragon throne tightly, wishing he could break it.
To the ruler of a country, the most important thing was prestige.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and mobilized a large number of people. If Zhu Rong did not come and stood them up, these officials above the third rank would be fine. At most, they would sweat a little and go back to take a bath. However, to Zhu Yuanzhang, he would lose all his prestige!
At that time, he would at least lock this unfilial son in the imperial prison for five to six years. If his sister knew about this, she would probably be worried all day.
At the thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang began to feel a severe pain in his temples.
But now, he could only hope that his unfilial son would keep his word for once.
Even if Mie Huang Ling was really useless, he couldn't be a coward, Second Brother!
At this moment, the sound of hooves could be heard.
"Hmm?"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his throne and looked in the direction of the voice.
Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and all the officials above the third rank in the capital were the same.
He saw Zhu Xiong riding a mule toward them, his right hand raised high as if he was holding something.
However, there was something wrong with his face. It was a little pale. The mule also looked a little strange and very flustered.
However, this was no longer important. Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was completely at ease. He glanced at the crowd proudly and laughed.
"Haha…Pin 'er, I knew you would come!”
"Father?"
Zhu Xiong was already in a panic when he was being chased by the army of locusts. He did not think too much about it, and he did not expect that he would hit the jackpot and run in the direction of the three acres of fertile farmland.
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and all the officials of the third rank and above gathered here, Zhu Xiong's face paled and he hurriedly shouted,
"Not good, Father, run!"
"Ah?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. For a moment, he thought he had heard wrongly.
"Pin 'er, what did you say?"
"Run, Dad!"
Zhu Xiong shouted hoarsely,"
"Flying locusts, the locust plague is here!"
" A locust plague?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, his brain unable to react.
Liu Bowen, Li Shan Chang, and the other high-ranking officials above the third rank were also dumbfounded.
However, at this moment, a buzzing sound could be heard, casting a shadow over the earth. The black mass stretched as far as the eye could see. Countless locusts stretched for miles, following closely behind Zhu Xiong on his mule, flying toward Zhu Yuanzhang and the others.
" Not good! Quick, protect His Majesty!"
"Protector beast, protector beast!"
"Where are the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
"Royal Guards, come quickly!"
“…………”
Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen's faces were deathly pale, and all the officials of the third rank and above in the capital felt their legs go weak as they shouted at the approaching locust army.
Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, had veins popping out on his forehead. He pointed at Zhu Rong and said bitterly,
"Unfilial son, what are you doing? Why are there so many damn locusts for no reason?”
Liu Bowen said anxiously,"
"Aiyo, Your Majesty, don't scold His Highness the King of Qin at this time. The Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Royal Guards have all gone to catch locusts. There aren't many guards here, so let's hurry up and run!”
Lee Shan Chang also nodded quickly,
"That's right, Your Majesty. There's no time to lose. If we don't run now, it'll be too late!”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened, and he pushed the two away."
"The terrain here is flat. Where can we escape to? Bring me a knife. We're going to fight these damn locusts!”
"No, Your Majesty. You have a body of ten thousand gold. You can't be injured at all!”
Li Shan Zhang hurriedly waved his hand.
Liu Bowen frowned and looked at the locust army following closely behind Zhu Xiong. He exclaimed,"
"Strange, why are these locusts following His Highness the King of Qin? There was so much food in Ying Tian City, so there was no reason to chase after people!”
Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shanchang raised their eyebrows. After hearing Liu Bowen's words, they turned their heads and realized that it was really the case.
"Unfilial son, what's going on? Why are these locusts following you?”
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted.
"Mie Huang Ling, Father!"
Zhu Xiong gripped the reins tightly and raised the Mie Huang Ling in his hand while he ran on his mule.
"Although my son's pesticide can kill locusts, it can also attract locusts!”
"I see!"
Liu Bowen and Li Shan Chang suddenly understood.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned pale. He looked at Zhu Rong and immediately rebuked,
"Bastard, why don't you throw away the pesticide? Do you want to die?"
Zhu Rong said helplessly,"
"I want to throw it away too, but this bottle of locust killing spirit can't kill so many locusts. If we let them finish it, I'm afraid they will turn around and harm the crops in the surroundings. Then, they will go to the imperial palace and devour the granary. At that time, our Yingtian Prefecture will be like Bei Zhi Li, without food to help the people!”
As soon as Zhu Rong said this, Liu Bowen and Li Shan Chang's expressions changed. The former was gratified, while the latter was shocked!
Even Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't come back to his senses, but when he saw the locust army behind Zhu Xiong, he was burning with anxiety. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said,"
"You unfilial son, why do you still care about others at a time like this? Quick, throw me the locust spirit in your hand and I'll help you lure these damn locusts away!”
"Ah?"
Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang were stunned. The latter quickly grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's arm and said,
"Emperor, you can't!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and shook off Li Shanzhang. His eyes were about to pop out as he said,
"Get lost! That's our son!”
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang ran towards Zhu Rong and stretched out his hand,"
"Pin 'er, throw it over!"
"No, Father!"
Zhu Xiong shook his head.
"I told you to throw it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Alright then."
Zhu Rong closed the bottle of Mie Huang Ling and waved his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Dad, catch it!"
"Swoosh!"
"Bang!"
"Aiyo!"
Zhu Yuanzhang covered his forehead and flew into a rage.
"Damn it, you unfilial son, you did this on purpose!!!”
