As soon as Xi Yu finished tidying up his clothes and was about to go out, he was stopped by Tuoba Yu.

Tuoba Yu leaned over to Xi Yu with annoyance and said anxiously: "Husband, where are you going?"

Xi Yu glanced at him and answered calmly.

"I'm going to the county government."

Tuoba Yu's eyes lit up, and he quickly grabbed Xi Yu's sleeve and begged: "Then I'll go with you! I'm almost sick in this place, and I don't know why, many people hate me very much. Facing those people, I can't do anything. I'm so frustrated!"

As he said that, his brows frowned tightly, his face full of helplessness and resentment.

Xi Yu thought for a moment, then nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go together."

When Tuoba Yu heard this, he immediately smiled happily and patted his hands excitedly.

"Very good!"

Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu walked out of the door side by side, with agile posture.

Old Man Nie stood aside, opened his mouth, but did not dare to ask, but his eyes showed doubts and a hint of worry, and his hands rubbed the corners of his clothes in a crescendo.

The patriarch and other tribe members were also not far away, watching the two of them turn over and leave.

The patriarch frowned slightly, his eyes followed the two figures that had gone far away, and he secretly guessed where they were going. Some of the tribesmen beside him whispered and whispered, while others looked at the rising dust blankly.

When Old Man Nie saw Xi Yu and the other two riding horses away, he turned his head and said to the patriarch with a tired face: "Captain, let's get up quickly. We have been standing for so long, so we're so tired."

As he said, he pounded his waist with his hands, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be getting deeper.

The patriarch glared at Old Man Nie and refused firmly, "No! You can't leave yet!" He gritted his teeth and looked firmly at the direction where Xi Yu and the others left.

However, when the patriarch saw that some people around him were already pale and shaking, and seemed to be unable to bear it. He was so angry that his face turned red and shouted loudly: "What kind of decent thing is this!"

But after a while, the patriarch himself was also exhausted, and his body shook and suddenly fainted on the ground.

Everyone was panicked and quickly helped the patriarch up.

Someone shouted anxiously: "Go and invite a doctor!"

Old Man Nie frowned and said worriedly: "Let the patriarch go home. Don't mess around here. What if the condition worsens!"

Many people nodded after hearing Old Man Nie's words, thinking that he was right.

"Old man Nie is right. Let's take the patriarch home and have a good rest." A young and strong man said as he reached out to help lift the patriarch.

"That's right, I can't delay here anymore." An old man agreed, his face full of worries.

Some people couldn't help complaining. A middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said angrily: "All this was done by the Prime Minister!"

A tall and thin man next to him shouted, "Yes, it was because he offended the locusts, which caused such consequences!" He said, waving his fists, his eyes full of wrath.

Everyone said in a slight manner and rushed to send the clan leader home.

When Xi Yu and the other two came to the county government, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

I saw a dense group of people kneeling at the county government gate, both men, women, and young.

The people all looked sad, their eyes filled with helplessness and prayer.

The county magistrate hung his head, his face was pale, and his official uniform seemed a little messy.

The yamen runners lowered their heads, looked depressed, and their clothes also lost their former majesty.

Xi Yu walked forward, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

Everyone was surprised to see someone coming suddenly. The originally lowered heads raised up, their eyes full of astonishment.

The county magistrate was stunned at first, then widened his eyes and asked with confusion: "Who are you? How dare you trespass here!" He frowned and stared at Xi Yu tightly.

Xi Yu looked calm. When faced with the questioning of the county magistrate, he directly showed the token from his arms and said loudly: "I am the Prime Minister!"

When the county magistrate heard this, he was so scared that his face looked like a dirt. He knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official has no eyes to recognize Mount Tai. Prime Minister forgive me!"

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead, and his body kept trembling.

The people around and the yamen runners also looked frightened, and they all lowered their heads, not daring to show off.

The county magistrate raised his head, looked at Xi Yu, and replied weakly: "Sir, there is nothing we can do. We are asking God for help. I hope the locusts will leave soon and stop wasting the crops." After that, he sighed heavily.

An old man knelt forward a few steps, and said in a crying voice: "Prime Minister, if this locust doesn't leave, we will all starve to death!" His face was covered with tears and his eyes were full of despair.

A young woman next to her also cried, "Please open your eyes and save us!" She clasped her hands together and kept trembling.

Xi Yu decided not to be polite to them. He looked gloomy and looked sharp, and he shouted: "You are an extremely ignorant and superstitious behavior! It's extremely ridiculous!"

At this time, an old man stood up, his face turned red, and he retorted with his neck, "Sir, this is a method passed down from generation to generation, and you must believe it!"

Xi Yu clenched his fists with both hands and said firmly: "No matter what I have for generations, I must destroy the locusts!"

Xi Yu also told the story of the clan leader’s village.

Sure enough, these people were so scared that they shivered when they heard this.

A young man looked pale and his lips trembled, "Master, this is not something you can do, you will be punished!"

An old woman even knelt directly on the ground and begged.

"Sir, please don't anger the gods!" Everyone surrounded them and stopped them.

Xi Yu looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, frowned even more, and the anger in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Xi Yu's face was full of anger, his chest was fluctuating violently, and he said loudly: "I have never been so strict with the people, but I'll give it my best today!" His eyes were firm and decisive, as if he had made up some major determination.

Afterwards, he turned around suddenly, glared at the county magistrate, and criticized sternly: "As a court official, you actually do such a foolish activity with the people. It's so damn!"

Xi Yu's fingers almost poked the county magistrate's face, his face turned ashen and the veins on his forehead stormed.

The county magistrate trembled all over, sweated coldly, and explained stammeringly: "Prime Minister, it's a helpless move for the lower officials. It's really. I'm really forced by this locust plague."

He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xi Yu's angry gaze.

Next, Xi Yu looked like a torch, stared at the county magistrate, and said in a tough tone: "County magistrate, you should follow the original state to destroy the locusts immediately. If you don't obey, kill them without permission!" His expression was serious and with unquestionable majesty.

"Everyone get up quickly!" Xi Yu shouted loudly.

When he heard the order, some people stood up slowly, but their faces were full of reluctance.

A middle-aged man muttered, "Can this work?" While speaking, he stood up reluctantly, frowned, and looked sad.

Another old man was also whispering: "This is angering the gods, alas..." He shook his head while looking at Xi Yu with a worried look.

When Xi Yu heard these comments, his face became even more gloomy and he shouted: "Shut up! When will the locusts be destroyed at this time, let's wait!"

Afterwards, Xi Yu looked at the county magistrate with a firm look and said in a stern tone: "County magistrate, go back to the county government immediately. I want to deploy a plan to eliminate locusts!"

Tuoba Yu also echoed on the side: "Hurry up, don't be slow!" He put his hands on his chest and looked serious.

The county magistrate looked puzzled and hesitated for a moment, but under Xi Yu's majestic gaze, he had to respond timidly: "Yes, the lower official will take the two of you here."

Of course, Xi Yu also understood that many people would insult him, but he no longer cared about it.

He held his head up and strode forward, with no fear on his face.

Tuoba Yu looked at Xi Yu and said, "Husband, those people are afraid they will be dissatisfied with you. Do you really don't care?"

Xi Yu snorted coldly and said, "At this moment, I only care about how to eliminate locusts and save the people from the suffering of famine. Let the others go with them."

After entering the county government office, Xi Yu looked serious and said with a bright look: "I will let Chen Fugui and others come tomorrow. We plan to hunt and kill locusts and then cook. The county government office must cooperate with all its strength!"

After hearing this, the county magistrate showed a look of surprise and suspicion on his face. Although he disagreed, he still agreed: "Yes, the subordinates obey the order."

He lowered his head slightly, his eyes flashing, and he did not dare to look at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu seemed to see the county magistrate’s thoughts, straightened his body behind his hands, and said solemnly: “If there is really a disaster, let God punish me alone!”

The county magistrate raised his head, looked at Xi Yu, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Prime Minister, whether this matter needs to be considered again..."

Xi Yu suddenly interrupted him and said loudly: "No need to say too much, just settle it!"

The county magistrate was shocked by Xi Yu's momentum and nodded quickly and said, "Okay, okay, the subordinates will definitely cooperate with each other."

Afterwards, Xi Yu had a serious expression and carefully explained: "Remember, you must not be negligent, otherwise this matter will be difficult to succeed."

The county magistrate quickly bowed and replied, "Don't worry, Prime Minister, remember it in mind."

Xi Yu nodded slightly, turned to look at Tuoba Yu and said, "Let's go."

Tuoba Yu nodded and turned around and left the county government with Xi Yu.

On the way, Tuoba Yu couldn't help asking, "Husband, do you think the county magistrate can handle this matter well?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Let's take one step at a time, I hope he can do his best."

Soon, they headed towards Old Man Nie's home.

The county magistrate looked at the backs of Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu leaving, his face full of helpless expressions, and his whole body seemed to be in a daze, standing there in a daze, motionless.

He murmured to himself: "What should I do, what should I do?"

Thinking of the locust plagues raging these few days, he was so anxious that he was in a state of great difficulty, he couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, there is really no better way at the moment. Forget it, since that's the case, if God blames it, then let the Prime Minister accept the punishment."

He gritted his teeth, his face gloomy, as if he had made a difficult decision.

When Xi Yu and Tuoba Yu came to the door of Old Man Nie's house, they saw that the door was closed and there was no one around them, which made them very strange.
