Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

"From now on, I, Zhong Sen, will obey you in everything. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to chase a dog, I will never chase a chicken."

Jiang Zhong really couldn't stand Zhong Sen's flattery at this critical moment, so he reminded him.

"Okay, stop flattering me and find a way to deal with the locusts."

"I know. Do I need to tell you?"

As the two were talking, a swarm of locusts flew over.

"Sir, this situation seems a little... not good..."

After Zhong Sen confirmed that there would really be a locust plague, his attitude changed drastically.

Before he thought there would be no locust plague, he was thinking about asking the adults to revoke their order and stop harvesting rice.

But when he knew that a locust plague was about to occur, the only thing on his mind was how to kill the locusts, and he did not hesitate at all.

This is also the reason why Zheng Shao would tolerate Zhong Sen. Although Zhong Sen has many shortcomings, there is one thing that he admires very much, that is, he can be clear-headed and considerate of the people.

Like the current locust plague, Zhong Sen knew the situation was not good, so he stood in front of him without hesitation, trying to protect him as the county magistrate.

But when the locust swarm arrives, everyone has to go all out to catch the locusts, and he needs protection.

"Zhong Sen, pass the order down, everyone must do their best to stop it."

"Yes, my lord."

The moment Zhong Sen finished speaking, the sky became darker and darker, and a swarm of locusts flew over.

"Here we come, everyone get ready."

Then the following scene appeared at the gate of Lanlong County, where everyone worked together to catch locusts.

Unfortunately, the locusts are not only numerous, but also very ferocious.

Less than half an incense stick of time passed before Zhong Sen called out to Magistrate Zheng.

"Sir, there are too many of them. We can't stop them!"

"We have to stop them even if we can't. We have to catch as many as possible. As for the ducks, let them out quickly."

"The ducks were released a long time ago and they were eating the locusts very quickly, but there were so many locusts that the ducks couldn't finish them all."

County Magistrate Zheng felt a sense of powerlessness as he saw the locust swarms growing instead of decreasing despite his efforts for so long.

He originally thought that even if there were a lot of locusts, with more than 10,000 ducks and so many people, it shouldn't be a problem.

It turned out that he was wrong in his judgment. He had never seen locusts of this magnitude in history books.

With this order of magnitude, the area covered is definitely not small, and judging from the direction the locusts are flying from, they are flying from the south.

Yongkang is to the south of Qingshan Prefecture. If his guess is correct, Yongkang Prefecture has probably fallen.

Thinking about the two cities being ravaged by locust plagues at the same time, he felt his hands and feet go cold.

"My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

Zheng Shao thought of Yongkang Prefecture and was frightened by the speculation.

Suddenly his body was pushed, and he finally reacted. Seeing Jiang Zhong's worried expression, he said casually: "Oh, I'm fine, go catch the locusts."

"Okay, my lord."

Zheng Shao saw that everyone was trying hard to catch locusts, but it was of little use. He knew that after the locust plague, many people would become refugees.

If it is not handled properly, the entire Zhou Dynasty will be in turmoil.

Not to mention his promotion, it is still unknown whether he can survive.

What he could do now was to lead the people of the whole county to stop as many locusts as possible and reduce some pressure on Suzhou, north of Qingshan.

To the north of Yongkang Prefecture, there is widespread misery!

The locust army was too ferocious and cruel. On its way from Yongkang Prefecture to Qingshan Prefecture in the north, the hot weather accelerated the hatching rate of the locusts in the fields, causing the number of locusts to grow exponentially.

The prefect of Yongkang sent people to defend, but the defense line was still broken and flew towards Qingshan Prefecture.

By the time the locust swarms reached Qingshan Prefecture, they had become so powerful that they were simply beyond human control.

Although there are people concentrated on killing locusts in every place, the number killed is limited and cannot keep up with the hatching speed.

And as the locust swarm continues to grow, the amount of food it needs is also increasing.

Wherever the locusts passed, all the green plants within sight were eaten by them, leaving only the grass roots in the soil, while the ground was completely bare.

How can we easily stop the locusts when they are growing rapidly?

It was just that a large group of locusts suffered heavy losses when passing through Wuning County, and only a few escaped.

Even if you run to other places, you won't be able to make any progress.

After Li Mengyue and others dealt with the locust swarm in Wuning County, they immediately took the ducks to Lanlong County without stopping.

The ducks finally reached the border of Lanlong County, and the locusts they had eaten along the way were almost consumed.

"Quack quack!"

[Host, the ducks are hungry again. This is too fast. Even a glutton can't do this! ]

[I know, that's just right, they'll be full again soon.]

[Go ahead, go eat locusts! ]

The system looked at the plump ducks and seemed to smell the aroma of roast duck, making it very greedy.

"Slurp~Slurp~"

[Okay, Tuanzi, stop being greedy. After the locust plague is over, we will open a roast duck restaurant. I'm sure you will be satisfied with the food. Go and exchange it for food! ]

【okay. 】

*

While the system was bargaining with customer service, trying to get the price as high as possible, Li Mengyue, five county magistrates and the army of ducks arrived in Lanlong County.

"Looks like we've arrived just in time."

Li Mengyue looked at the scene in front of her, which could be described as chaos.

A large number of locusts encountered people's obstruction and wanted to break out of the encirclement, so they rushed around recklessly. The consequence of this was that they either crashed into people, fell to the ground and were trampled to death, or fell into the grass and were quickly eaten.

With these locusts constantly stirring the air around them, everyone had a similar feeling, that is, the world seemed to be occupied by dense locusts, filled with a depressing atmosphere, and people's hearts also felt confused and uneasy.

Five county magistrates got out of the car and saw a similar scene again. It was true that they were not immune, but they were not that panicked.

They looked at the people in Lanlong County, many of whom were avoiding the flying locusts, worried that they would be bitten.

It can be seen that this sudden swarm of locusts has indeed brought considerable trouble and panic to everyone in Lanlong County.

The ducks were driven from Wuning County to Lanlong County. Although they had traveled such a long distance, every duck was in good spirits and were not affected much by the journey. However, they were very hungry and wanted to have a good meal quickly.

Li Mengyue did not let the ducks wait for long. She just took a look at the locust plague situation in Lanlong County, and at a command, the ducks set out.

When more than 50,000 ducks saw the locusts flying around, they ran forward excitedly, making quacking sounds.

It was literally more than 50,000 ducks quacking at the same time.

"Gah~gah~gah~"

The people in Lanlong County who were fighting against locusts suddenly heard a series of loud rattling sounds. The sounds caused by the locusts flying around were broken by the rattling sounds that came one after another.
