Chapter 13

"How do you think Zhou Shiyi got the token of the Falling Studio?"

Sun Chiyu took four freshly baked sesame seed cakes wrapped in oil paper in his hand, and handed them to several people one by one.

Yixiao's subordinates have already dispersed to investigate, and Qing County doesn't look like a plague of locusts at all.

"I don't know, the world doesn't revolve around us, we can know everything wherever we need it?" The young man put his legs wide open on the stool, occupying most of the remaining stool, and leaned against the stool. He said to the guy with a serious face: "Is it? The first son?"

Zheng Jigui frowned, and rescued the cake in his hand from the wolf-like eyes.

"Whether you sit or not, is brother Chu's face still?"

"Come on, ancestor, don't you think it's cheap to eat sesame seed cakes here?" Sitting in the restaurant drinking and eating the sesame seed cakes from the stall downstairs, they are the only ones.

Thinking of something, Zhou Yixiao didn't take into account Chu Chitao's teasing, lost his mind, bit down the sesame seed cake in his hand like a log, and frowned.These young people are still children in Sun Chiyu's eyes. To him, the weather on these children's faces is premature aging.Sun Chiyu was thinking about buying a few more biscuits to treat the children, but as for what the original problem was, he had already left it in Pingjing.

Zhou Yixiao couldn't see the small-eyed and heartless appearance, so he simply stood by the window and concentrated on observing the people coming and going downstairs.These years, he has been in a hurry to do everything, even in Yanxian County, strengthening the city walls and training soldiers, every day he is so anxious that he seems to be returning west the next day, and this time he came to Canling again. Shizhe's convoy arrived after them, three or four days late.

In the past three or four days, several people searched Qing County and found nothing suspicious, but there was no sign of depression in the city.

At this moment, several people were waiting for the third prince while chewing sesame seed cakes.

Not long after, a low-key convoy stopped at the gate of the city, and the person who got on and off was Princess Zhun'an.Listening to the report from the hidden guard, Sun Chiyu took a sip of wine, and suddenly wanted to imitate Si Chi and get a horse out of control to scare the opponent's heart, but Zheng Jigui stared at him for a long time, and he could only swallow his crooked idea went back.

Zheng Jishi, the cousin of Zheng Jigui who was bought to bump into Chu Chitao at the beginning, is also a slightly resourceful character in the original book. He can be regarded as a member of Zhou Shizhang's think tank. .

But in Sun Chiyu's eyes, this man pretends to be noble, despises Jigui, and is an eyeless guy.In the previous crash, he took the initiative to ask Zhou Shiyan to get rid of Zheng Chu's private teacher on Wednesday, that is, Sun Chiyu.The relevant incidents known in the Zheng family are naturally more accurate and more than the hearsay from outsiders. According to his years of observation, there is always a person who guides the three people's thoughts and methods in the dark. One is the new military division.

Master Zheng's cover-up work did not allow anyone to find out the shocking secret of Sun Chiyu's immortality.

After Chu Chitao investigated Zheng Jishi, he discovered the relationship between Mr. Huang and Zheng Jishi. Several people couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, and Liuye Villa also ushered in the season of chilling autumn wind.

"Second brother has already contacted him. He is now doing some small business with a friend." After eating, Chu Chitao suddenly broke into the quiet and somewhat secretive atmosphere. After drinking it all, I realized that something was wrong. The whole monk of Erzhang asked what was wrong.

Zheng Jigui shook his head, and finally got rid of his family's love and hatred, so he called someone to drink more and said, "Doctor Huang is a pawn that needs to be dealt with immediately after use. I was soft-hearted at the time." He also brought up his own brother.

Sun Chiyu only said "just have fun" and turned around to mention the matter of the second brother of the Chu family.

Chu Chihai was exiled to Canling because of the misjudgment of the smuggling case in Yan County. The final result of that incident was naturally that Zhou Shizhang successfully vindicated the unjust case and won unanimous praise from the court, Chinese and military. After investigating, he accidentally discovered that the movie studio was punishing corrupt officials in the name of Mr. Yun.These two incidents had nothing to do with each other, but Sun Chiyu, who stayed in Ganxian County, didn't rest. In the process of developing his power, he encountered a commercial local snake in Ganxian County. Unfortunately, it was Mrs. Shuoyun's family.

Playing with your own family?What a big show.

What's more, there are two factions in Falling Shadow Building, and there is a third faction in the shadows.

"The person who fell into the photo studio back then contacted Brother Huang," the young man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes fixed on the third prince downstairs, and those who didn't know would probably think that the one upstairs was the third prince of the Si family.Chu Chitao couldn't help being angry when he heard that he was still called the emperor's brother. He poked hard at the rabbit buns on the vegetable plate, poking at the thought of being jolted off the horse—about why they came to Canling in such a hurry first. .

"Sir, have we forgotten something?"

"Is there... what the hell!" Sun Chiyu jumped up from the stool, the wooden stool was overturned to the ground, and the suspect grabbed the neckline of his party in horror: "Boy, Zhu Gusheng! I forgot Okay, how can you forget!"

Chu Chitao: "..." It's sir, do you like messing around with mandarin ducks?

"what happened?"

Chu Chitao said with an unrequited face, "Sir, you are talking nonsense, don't worry... The locust disaster in Remnant Mountain has spread to Zhen County, which is the hometown of the prime minister. The prime minister is very concerned about this matter." After finishing speaking, Taking a peek at the reactions of the two Faxiao, Zheng Jigui thought seriously: "Gan Chenxin is indeed a good candidate for marriage, but my father is the leftist minister, so a rash marriage will cause vigilance. Yixiao is not suitable for reunion in the short term. The daughters of the aristocratic family are married, so there is only..."

Chu's face turned red and pale for a while, but he didn't know whether to be ashamed or chilled: "Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Zheng, don't talk nonsense!" Seeing his pale face, Zhou Yixiao must have thought that they disregarded brotherhood, Fighting for the throne with all obscene means, couldn't help puffing: "What's wrong? Miss Gan will be a good wife."

"Hey~ What are you two kidding, I, a frontier prodigal, want to play for a few more years!"

Sun Chiyu drank a pot of wine calmly, Zhou Shizhan's convoy had disappeared at the end of the street, the noise on the street was nothing compared to the noise of the people around him.

"Prodigal son? From Xiao Weilang to 'General Shu'an' so soon?" Zheng Jigui finished his taunt, Zhou Yixiao raised his voice, and the water in the wine glass on the table was rippling in circles: "You are so old! !"

"Okay, you two! Shouldn't it be said that the mood of a friend is the most important thing at this time?!"

"Friends...how are you all?"

"Hey—the ancestor wanted to push me into the fire pit so soon?"

"Brother Chu's words are wrong..."

The clinking of wine glasses and the frolic of young people in the small town of Canling broke their vacant four years. The days that should have been drinking and singing were dedicated to Fengshuang. Finally, the three had a long-lost afternoon, and Sun Chiyu was also killed by Annoyed once.

Facts have proved that the world does not revolve around the protagonist. When the two protagonists went to scan the copy of the disaster victims, Chu Chitao overturned the Qing County government like a king, and Zheng Yu, who was named following the prince to supervise the officials, was actually fishing in troubled waters for an annual leave. Shi silently covered his face, the emperor sent the two princes down together when he was upset, and did not express anything other than telling the prince to go back sooner. This is obviously hesitant, you may not be the prince for long.

The county lieutenant of Qing County thought the same way, so he was caught straight at the banquet of big fish and big meat.

In fact, he should be thankful that he was not caught in Yanliu Lane.

On the same day, Zhou Yixiao and Sun Chiyu had already sneaked to the countryside to engage in small tricks. After traveling for about tens of miles, it was only after the bad mountains and rivers that his true colors were revealed, and there was also a plague of locusts.There is no grass growing in the past of the locust plague, but this locust plague came really strangely. After the auspiciousness was gone before, the waterlogged butterfly in the plot was dropped, and there was another locust plague.

Drought and locusts always go hand in hand. This natural disaster is not drought but locusts, which has a strange origin.

The white horse was walking on the country road, and then walked to the south of Canling, the disaster was getting worse, but strangely, there were two or three people going south, Sun Chiyu was curious, slowed down his pace, and suggested to Zhou Yixiao : "Wearing silk and satin to go there is like sending a wooden stake for practice. Would Your Highness change into coarse cloth clothes?"

Zhou Yixiao held his chin and thought for a while, then nodded in agreement. After a while, two men in rags and shorts came out of the station. To make it more realistic, someone Sun even put some ashes on the face of His Highness the Crown Prince, and muttered: " Fortunately, Your Highness... You, cough, your skin is a bit bad these days when you stay up late to deal with things, otherwise I don't know how to deal with your white-faced niche. Don't stare at me, to be honest, I praise you! Chi Tao stays here Yan County is still growing brittle, why did you even lose the meat?"

Zhou Yixiao turned his face away uncomfortably, but there was a fire burning in his chest, which scorched his nerves as a nobleman, and he forgot how to be noble.After the eldest prince fell from the horse, he never felt this kind of care from others.

The two followed the big flow and observed these refugees secretly. A hungry man with sunken eyes came towards him. Zhou Yixiao saw that he was walking in a different direction from the others, and he was about to go up to ask, but saw a kind old man in front of him. Stopping the hungry man, he said weakly, "Why don't you go to the Fourteen Mile Pavilion, where the old man is serving porridge!"

Zhou Yixiao's heart skipped a beat, can the Elder's porridge make everyone rush forward?

"The county captain of Lancheng has opened a warehouse, and now everyone is begging for a bowl of soup."

"That's right... Fortunately, the prince brought money and food, and the county captain didn't dare not listen."

Then there was a burst of praise, Sun Chiyu teased Zhou Yixiao, and the two passed the group of people who were cheering halfway, and walked for a long time to the border of Lancheng: "Going there, it is Dongshilan Kingdom It borders the land and water of Dali." That is to say, that place becomes a triangle, with the ocean on one side connecting the countries of the four seas, the east food bar on the other side, which structures the east and west continents, and the Dali.

"Eastern Shilan Kingdom is adjacent to Guarn and Elbow Ye, and is a 'friendly country' of Dali..."

An idea pierced his brain, and Sun Chiyu dazedly found a thread, feeling itchy in his heart.

Zhou Yixiao cooperated and said, "What do you think sir?"

"Tell me, if there is an attack from both sides, will Di Rong join forces with Dongshipan...or any country in the west to divide up Dali?"

This idea is a bit scary, Zhou Yixiao shook his head and smiled wryly: "If so, Di Rong must first contact the East Food Bar. Dali has always been strictly guarded against death. It is difficult for Di Rong to even enter the Dali, let alone the East Food Bar?"

Sun Chiyu felt a little superior at this time: "Why don't you know that you can't bypass the Dali? Go to the east waterway, just buy more local water officials at the stop, and go to the vast continent to the west, how can we care about the business travel? What's more? What’s more, what do you think about sending a Han Chinese away from the center of Dali? Internal thieves are always hard to guard against...” After he finished the last sentence, he inexplicably remembered the caravan that Yan County had something to do with Falling Studio.

But it's not enough, even if the author doesn't show the protagonist's 360-degree character, it won't collapse to the villain of the traitor.

"Businessman?" Zhou Yixiao's laughter contained irony that he didn't quite understand. The Dali emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, and businessmen have always been unsacred. Liuye Villa pretended to be a merchant in order to avoid attention. "East Food Bar also has to consider its own country. How could it be possible to just pick a merchant at random and believe that?"

The reason is this, but what if a legendary treasure like He's Bi is exchanged for an indifferent or neutral betrayal?

Of course, there is no Heshibi in this world. Before Sun Chiyu came to a conclusion, he heard Zhou Yixiao figured it out for himself: "If you just borrow a place to do some small things, there is no need to give up such a big one at the East Food Bar." A pen bribe! Sir, is there any change in the East Food Bar?!"

"The prince of the East Food Lane fished some things from the sea a few days ago, went to Gu'en to exchange a large sum of money, and put it into the army. Gu'en is located in a remote place, and the national power is poor, so the things in the sea can be regarded as good things. "

"what?"

"Sea sand, a mineral, is combustible." To put it bluntly, it is oil.

Zhou Yixiao frowned: "Father once wanted to get involved, but later he couldn't get it out again. The alchemist said that the sea sand and stone have spirits, so he didn't want to suffer, so he moved away..."

Obviously there is no such thing at all, but the ancients firmly believed in the spirit of heaven and earth, Sun Chiyu secretly smiled, the world does have spirits, but this small world under the Lord God does not have that honor. "The villa has already started to investigate this matter, and the city of Reiber and Gimmel, which borders Dongshipan and Dali, has also been affected by the locust plague. There is a kind of insecticide called Qilier that is very popular on the market. "

"Oh? How can pesticides become popular?"

"You're underestimating how much the people of Dongshilan love nature. Have they been popular for a while, a kind of praying mantis...cough, spring or something." Sun Chiyu felt embarrassed as he spoke. , you said, did the ancients study the things on the bed every day when they were full, and when people had enough of playing, their sinful hands stretched out to insects?

Zhou Yixiao tore down the gnawed shrubs on the side of the road, not noticing Sun Chiyu's embarrassment at all.

"Is this the birthplace of the locust plague?"

"Yes." If the plague of locusts occurs, it must be that some factors in the environment are unstable, urging things to develop in a bad way.

For example, food.

Zhou Yixiao brought the leaf close to his nose, and the pungent smell pierced his nerves. He handed it to Sun Chiyu in disgust: "Sir, smell it, does it smell bad?"

Sun Chiyu was also dazed by the smell, and went back to Gan County in a daze, with big, khaki eyes in front of him.He really doesn't like the frontier, even a willow tree grows crookedly. "I seem to have smelled it somewhere..." This is nonsense, and the phantom of the frontier appeared in front of my eyes: "Three years ago, for three consecutive days, merchants brought this big bucket of things into the city..."

Both of them were stunned, and hurried back to the post station, the horse's hooves scattered, and the two retreated to Qing County in a cloud of dust.

The two people who stayed in Qing County were shocked when they heard that they were going to thoroughly investigate the documents and records of the merchants three years ago. When Chu Chitao came back to his senses, he went to squeeze the pigeons and Yan County's men efficiently.

"The person who does this will definitely leave a way out. I'm not afraid of that... I'm afraid that he's a ulterior motive."

In the post station in Qing County, with Zheng Jigui's voice and the sound of the increasing rain, Sun Chiyu had a rare sense of unreality, like: Why did the minds of the ancients have such twists and turns?

Do you know the original author?

It's not a dungeon series with the protagonist.
