at the same time.

At this moment, the south gate of Chang'an City has been fully opened.

Comrades from twelve cities in the south, the densely packed carriage team, although it looks shabby, with dark faces and dust, there is no confusion in the formation.

Under the leadership of the guard captains, we entered Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

Everyone, all the carriage teams, began to enter the city in an orderly manner.

The local soldiers of Chang'an City guarding the city gate looked at the panicked and frightened faces. The moment they entered the city, they all showed bright smiles, which touched their hearts.

I fled all the way north for more than half a month, struggling with hunger and cold every moment, and were often attacked by wild beasts.

Every time locusts attack, the sky is completely blackened, causing countless people to feel trembling and can only live in fear.

Every time the soldiers fought back, their arrows were shot to the point of numbness, and their swords were swung to the point of weakness. After the battle, everything as far as the eye could see was covered with sores.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees died and withered under the fighting.

Although locusts do not harm humans, the pressure they exert casts a shadow on the sky, making people unable to forget their fear.

The people fleeing in the south all feel that they will die in the next moment, as if they are facing a constant death crisis, which has already made them exhausted, overwhelmed and full of despair.

But at this moment, at this moment when we arrive at Chang'an City!

Hope is rekindled on their faces and eyes!

Chang'an City was the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The people in the south would only choose to blindly believe in the soldiers of Chang'an. They believed that Chang'an City, with its outstanding people and outstanding people, would definitely be able to defeat such natural disasters!

At this moment, on the top wall of the city, the generals who had fled the army were also approaching. Including the man before, a total of eleven people came to the wall.

There was also unconcealable fear in their eyes.

At this time, from a barracks at the south gate of Chang'an City, which was closest to the city gate and on the line between the sea and the sky, the sound of vast footsteps suddenly rose up.

Even though they were hundreds of meters away, they could hear it clearly.

There, the figures gradually became clearer and the sounds became louder and louder. Finally, the local Chang'an soldiers with resolute faces appeared in front of them one after another.

Looking at their faces, there is no wave in the ancient well. They are like an army forged with iron and blood, illuminating the hearts of the desperate generals little by little, so that they will not despair and start to have full confidence in Chang'an City.

Likewise, it also brings an unprecedented sense of pressure to everyone.

It's getting closer, this army is getting closer.

Finally, under the field of vision and above the horizon, an extremely orderly and well-disciplined army appeared in front of everyone.

The strictness of this army is unmatched by other major armies in the south. It is an elite army that truly belongs only to Chang'an City.

All the soldiers guarding the south city wall nervously clenched their weapons and looked into the distance, their pupils contracted, they had difficulty breathing, and their mountain jumps accelerated.

Some timid soldiers even had their legs trembling and their faces turned pale.

Many of the young people of this generation in Chang'an City have never been on the battlefield, and those responsible for guarding the city walls are the new recruits among the new soldiers.

At most, they followed one hunting team after another and went out of the city to hunt rabbits around Chang'an City.

When have you ever seen such an iron-blooded scene?

Have you ever seen such an army with murderous intent on its face?

Even the generals of Chang'an City, Qin Shubao, Li Jing and others, looked slightly shaken at this moment, and their hearts suddenly accelerated.

They haven't taken action for too long, and their former enthusiasm has gradually cooled down due to their pampering.

But unlike them, all the generals who had escaped took a step together and looked at the endless empty land outside Chang'an City, as if there was something terrible there.

Only by experiencing the kind of battle that is almost desperate can one understand their mood at this moment.

Locusts that can darken the sky are sweeping in, and they can only fight!

That is the madness of not stopping until death, even to the point of biting a locust!!

In this kind of battle, death is ignored. When you are afraid, you might as well worry about not being able to kill a few more locusts to reduce the pressure of food being ravaged.

"locust!!"

A southern general roared wildly, his eyes were bloodshot, almost crazy, and his hatred was overwhelming.

He hates it so much!

His son, wife, and descendants all died in this silent war. They died on the road because there was no extra food. Only he, Xun Yan, survived.

Even to this day, he still clearly remembers the look in his wife's eyes when she was dying.

Those eyes are full of despair! It is the despair of not wanting to die, but can only die unwillingly!

This kind of look tortured him night after night, making him almost crazy and wanting to commit suicide.

He was shouting madly and furiously. Next to him, General Mingming from the south, also had overwhelming hatred and terrifying murderous intent, which almost blended into his soul, filling the air with crazy murderous intent.

…………

at the same time.

The fifth surname is Qiwang, Zheng family.

The city of Chang'an underwent great changes, and thirteen trumpets were blown. Perhaps ordinary people did not know what the real threat was.

But it’s impossible for the officials with five surnames and seven looks in high positions not to know!!

They had already sent the news back to the aristocratic family and informed the family head, letting them know that the threat to Chang'an City was just locusts, locusts that did not harm human life and only took food.

It's not some unfounded Turkic or Tuyuhun thing.

After hearing everything, the head of the Zheng family chuckled, "God helps me, God helps me!"

The representative of the Lu family frowned and asked: "Master Zheng, what do you mean by this? When the locusts attack, we can't protect ourselves."

Zheng Xun, the head of the Zheng family, glanced at the speaker and said calmly: "It is true that we cannot survive alone, but we can use the prestige of the locust to get His Majesty to hand over Qin Wenyuan!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this point, everyone present was shocked.

Zheng Xun did not whet his appetite. He looked at his personal bodyguard and said, "Ah Fu, let's talk to all the adults."

"clear!"

Ah Fu nodded and walked out from his original position, came to Taichung, met everyone's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant, and said calmly: "Everyone, after investigation by our Zheng family, the food left in Chang'an City is enough to support Chang'an.

The city runs for about half a month."

"But...a few days ago, Yu Chigong took away a large amount of food, and today, your Majesty ordered General Li Jing to treat the southern refugees favorably."

"After such consumption of food, there is only less than half a day left."

"In other words, if we don't help today, Chang'an City will have a food crisis!"

After the words fell, everyone completely understood.

It turns out that Zheng Xun wanted to take advantage of this trend to make Li Shimin bow his head.

There is no food today, and with people in panic, who can still have the enthusiasm to deal with the locust disaster tomorrow?

When all the family heads thought about it, it turned out that it was just like what Zheng Xun said, everything was because of God's help!!

The representative of the Lu family laughed and said, "It seems that if His Majesty is united to deal with the locust plague, he will have to hand over Qin Wenyuan."

"However, we cannot sit still and wait for news."

"We also have to take some actions to speed up the time for His Majesty to compromise with us."

Zheng Xun raised his eyebrows, "How to do this?"

The representative of the Lu family smiled slightly. He did not answer immediately. Instead, he took the quilt tea and drank it, which really whetted his appetite to the extreme.

The next moment, he spoke: "First, spread rumors to let the people in Chang'an City and the people in the south know that there is no food left in the city, only among our aristocratic families."

"Secondly, publicize the notice to let the people know that as long as they go to the Qin Mansion and attack the demon doctor Qin Wenyuan, they will have food to eat."

After the words fell, everyone thought for a moment and agreed to the proposal.

Faced with the catastrophe, they all unanimously proposed to deal with Qin Wenyuan first!

In the eyes of the aristocratic families, locusts harm food and are indeed deadly, but they cost the lives of ordinary people.

But Qin Wenyuan wanted to kill the children of their family again!

They cannot tolerate that a person who is hostile to a noble family can gain the respect of everyone in the world.

If that happens one day, it will definitely be a devastating blow to their family.

The most important influence of the family was taken away by one person. This is something they absolutely cannot tolerate.

Qin Wenyuan, who is hostile to the family, has this potential, so they want to kill Qin Wenyuan!

…………

Two hours later, the palace.

"boom!!"

After serving the teacup, it was smashed to the ground, but none of the eunuchs kneeling below dared to look directly at the figure above.

They stood silently kneeling on the ground, looking at the ground, not daring to raise their heads at all.
