"Haha! You want evidence, right?"
Qin Yu asked back with a sneer.
"Of course! If there's no evidence and it's all just nonsense from His Royal Highness, how can we convince the public?"
Shangguan Xiong said coldly.
"Wait a moment, and when the news from Ganzhou comes back, it will be evidence!"
Qin Yu said in a deep voice.
According to the agreement, no matter what the locust plague situation in Ganzhou is, Yuwen Chengqing must send someone back to report. It is still early now, and someone should come back after a while.
"Haha! Your Highness, our agreement was for three days, and now it's exactly three days, and no news has come back from Ganzhou yet, and you dare to speak so arrogantly here? It's really ridiculous!"
"Your Majesty! In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is simply stalling for time. However, the people of Ganzhou cannot wait any longer. Your Majesty, please issue an order quickly!"
Shangguan Xiong said with a sneer.
"Report! Your Majesty! General Yuwen is back!"
Just then, a man quickly ran in to report.
"Quickly summon General Yuwen to the palace for an audience!"
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.
He had no interest in the quarrel between Qin Yu and Shangguan Xiong, he only cared about whether the locust plague in Ganzhou had been lifted!
Afterwards, Yuwen Chengqing walked into the hall, but her body was covered with chicken feathers and chicken droppings, and she looked very disheveled.
"Yuwen Chengqing! You, a general of the Red Flame Iron Cavalry, come to see His Majesty covered in chicken feathers and chicken droppings. You are committing a crime of utter disrespect!"
When Shangguan Xiong saw Yuwen Chengqing like this, his face was full of contempt and complacency.
It seems that after Qin Yu's chickens arrived in Ganzhou, they went through a hard battle and were then eaten clean by locusts. In order to save the chickens, Yuwen Chengqing made himself very embarrassed.
"Your Majesty! Following the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I purchased chickens and headed to Ganzhou to combat the locusts. The chickens encountered the locusts, and just as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had predicted, they devoured them completely. Ganzhou's locust plague has been eradicated!"
Yuwen Chengqing ignored Shangguan Xiong and spoke loudly.
"What! The locust plague in Ganzhou has been resolved? How is this possible?"
Shangguan Xiong was shocked!
All the officials present were also shocked. Throughout history, every time a locust plague occurred, it took a country's full efforts to control it. How could it be easily resolved by a few chickens!
"Has the locust plague really ended? Haha! God truly bless our Daliang!"
Emperor Liang said excitedly.
If the locust plague in Ganzhou cannot be resolved, the imperial court will have no choice but to use silver to provide disaster relief. At this critical juncture, a reduction in food and an increase in expenditure are definitely not good things!
What's more, Qin Yu launched a surprise attack on the Beiliang camp, and the people of Beiliang will soon come to demand an explanation. If the locust plague cannot be contained, he will not be able to be tough when facing Beiliang!
"Your Majesty! There must be something fishy going on here! Look! If it's really as General Yuwen said, why is she in such a mess, covered in chicken feathers and chicken droppings? This means the chickens were eaten by locusts!"
Shangguan Xiong said in a deep voice.
His face was extremely gloomy and he was unwilling to believe that the locust plague in Ganzhou had been resolved!
"General Yuwen, what's going on with you?"
Emperor Liang also looked puzzled.
"Your Majesty! After those chickens ate the locusts, they laid a huge number of eggs. His Royal Highness ordered that all the eggs be collected. I had no choice but to mobilize the people to collect the eggs, so it turned out like this."
Yu Wenqing said in a deep voice.
