The Necromancer of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 114 There is nothing else to do except to send troops
Yuan Xu returned to his bedroom, the crayfish in the jar were still warm.

He greeted Zhen Mi: "Come here madam, eat while it's hot."

Zhen Mi came up to meet him and looked at the jar he was carrying: "The jar contains the crayfish that your husband mentioned?"

"Yes." Yuan Xu replied: "I tasted one, and it is really delicious, Madam should like it."

"My husband thinks it is good, so I will like it." Zhen Mi replied.

"Don't say that, Madam has to have her own opinion." Yuan Xu said: "Crayfish is really delicious, you will know it after you taste it."

He pulled a crayfish out of the jar.

The cooked crayfish is red, and the appearance of baring its teeth and claws is very scary.

Zhen Mi was startled, and took a step back: "What is your husband taking?"

"Crayfish." Yuan Xu peeled off the shrimp: "This thing looks really ugly, but it tastes delicious. I'll peel one for my wife."

Peeling off a crayfish, he dipped the white meat in the soup and handed it to Zhen Mi's mouth: "Madam, try it."

Scared by the appearance of the crayfish, Zhen Mi dared not eat it.

She stammered and replied: "I am a bit scared..."

"Close your eyes, you won't be afraid if you eat it." Yuan Xu explained.

Zhen Mi obediently closed her eyes.

From her slightly trembling body, it could be seen that she was still a little scared.

Put the crayfish meat into her mouth.

In the mouth of the meat, Zhen Mi subconsciously chewed it twice, and slowly opened her eyes.

She looked at Yuan Xu with a look of surprise, she couldn't believe that there was such a delicious thing in the world.

"The locusts were selling well a few days ago." Yuan Xu peeled off another shrimp: "That thing is really disgusting, I don't even want to eat more."

"Locusts?" Zhen Mi was surprised: "Could it be edible?"

"What do you think I'm going to Youzhou for?" Yuan Xu stuffed another piece of shrimp into her mouth: "There is a locust plague in Youzhou, and I'm going to relieve the disaster."

"The fact that locusts became a delicacy should be the result of my husband." Zhen Mi ate the meat and said to Yuan Xu, "Besides my husband, I can't think of anyone else having such an idea."

"Of course." Yuan Xu chuckled, "Except for me, no one would have thought of solving the locust plague in this way."

"The locust plague is over?" Zhen Mi asked.

"Solved." Yuan Xu said: "Zhen Yan told me today that the locust plague is over, and if there are not enough locusts, it will make a lot less money."

Zhen Mi's head was full of black lines.

Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she knew how severe the locust plague was.

"Second brother actually said such a thing." Zhen Mi said, "He is afraid that the people will not live in hardship."

"Really don't say it." Yuan Xu said: "The people of Youzhou also think the same as him."

Zhen Mi felt that her cognition was completely shattered.

The locust disaster in Youzhou should have caused the people to suffer, Yuan Xu went there, not only did they not take the disaster seriously, but they hoped that the trouble would last longer...

She couldn't figure out, what is a natural disaster in Yuan Xu's eyes?
"Ma'am, eat another piece." Yuan Xu peeled off another piece and handed it to her.

"The concubine also peels off one for my husband." Zhen Mi went up to eat the piece of meat that Yuan Xu fed her.

After eating a few pieces of meat, she was no longer afraid, and took one out of the clay pot.

Just about to peel it off, she let out a coquettish cry.

"What's wrong?" Yuan Xu hurried forward.

"I tied my hands." Zhen Mi replied guiltily, "I'm clumsy..."

"It's my fault." Yuan Xu ordered the maid to fetch some hot water and put Zhen Mi's pierced finger in her mouth to suck it clean: "Is it better?"

"It still hurts..." Zhen Mi replied, "It's hard to describe."

"Ma'am doesn't know how to peel, so leave it to me." Yuan Xu said: "Don't worry, learn slowly."

Yuan Xu was resolute in his expeditions abroad, but he was considerate to Zhen Mi.

With his hand held, Zhen Mi felt warm in her heart, and the place where she was stabbed seemed to be less painful.

After tasting the crayfish, Zhen Yan couldn't forget the taste for a long time.

Back at Jucai Ling's mansion, he ordered his followers to get some more crayfish and send them to the cook.

It takes some time to get the lobster from the farm, and it takes time for the cook to process it.

It was late at night when the hot crayfish was delivered to Zhen Yan.

He asked Wei Xi to come here.

The two sat facing each other.

Zhen Yan said: "My son raised some crayfish in the farm two or three months ago, and now they have grown up. I asked the cook to make some. I invite you to taste them together."

Wei Ji spoke with a little sleepiness: "Since it has matured, I should invite you to taste it first."

"Young Master sent it to you long ago, and these are specially shared with you."

"There must be a reason for sharing." Wei Ji refused to taste it lightly.

In fact, he was quite irritable in his heart, sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, but Zhen Yan made a fuss about him.

No matter who it is, it will not be refreshing.

Zhen Yan said: "You are my deputy, I plan to hand over the management of crayfish and locusts to you."

Wei Ji was startled: "Leave it to me?"

Zhen Yan nodded: "As a deputy, of course I have to take on some things."

He signaled his followers to serve Wei Ke with lobster.

The attendant placed a plate in front of Wei Ke, picked out some crayfish from the jar, and filled the plate.

Zhen Yan picked up a crayfish and greeted Wei Ke: "Come, try it."

Wei Ji imitated his technique and peeled off the lobster shell.

Putting the snow-white meat into his mouth, Wei Ke's expression suddenly changed.

He looked at Zhen Yan blankly: "There is actually..."

"It's so delicious." Zhen Yan took up his words: "Young Master rewarded me with one, and I thought so at the time."

"I've also eaten locusts, and I thought they were incomparably delicious." Wei Ji praised, "I didn't expect that little..."

He paused, recalling the names of the dishes in front of him.

"Crayfish." Zhen Yan reminded.

"Yes, crayfish!" Wei Ke said, "I didn't expect it to be more delicious than locusts!"

"What the young master showed is far more than these." Zhen Yan said: "You will understand after seeing more."

"I already understand." Wei Ke replied: "Locust plagues are raging, and people are always helpless. The young master just came up with a formula, and a locust plague can be resolved without pain or itching. Not only that, but he also used locusts to make money." A lot of money."

"This is the son's method." Zhen Yan said while peeling the crayfish: "Following the son, you will see a lot of things that you never dared to think about before."

The news of the locust plague in Youzhou also spread outside the pass.

The high-ranking officials who came to the court of the Huns were inexplicably excited when they heard about the situation.

He immediately decided to ask the Huns to see the Chanyu again.

Since he came to the Xiongnu, Da Shan Yu Huchuquan has been thinking about whether he should send troops to the Central Plains?
High-ranking cadres do not have a single soldier, and sending troops to help him may not necessarily benefit him.

In the king's tent, Hu Chuquan was talking to the left and right sage kings, and outside the tent reported: "General Gao is asking to see the Great Chanyu."

He asked the left and right virtuous kings, "What do you two think he is here for?"

"What else can you do?" King Youxian went to humbly and said, "It's nothing more than asking the Great Shanyu to send troops."
