Chat Group of Myriad Worlds of Tang Dynasty

It's not that he hasn't eaten locusts.

When Wude was six years old, he wandered from Bozhou to a remote place, where people liked to eat locusts.

If there is no locust plague, those people will go to farm and fish.

Once there is a plague of locusts, the people will be so excited that they will prepare their nets one by one to catch the locusts.

The locusts cross the border, and in just a few days, there will be no grass left in the place.

In the past few days, the local county magistrate has mobilized everyone to catch locusts, which taste good after pickling.

Ma Zhou didn't care about eating locusts, he only cared about whether His Highness thought eating locusts was a vulgar thing.

"Ma Zhou, it looks like you've eaten."

Ma Zhou was startled. In front of Li Ke, he was like a transparent person. How did His Highness know what he was thinking?

"Your Highness, when Ma Zhou was wandering before, he was very hungry and ate."

"Have you ever tried skewering locusts and grilling them?"

Ma Zhou shook his head: "Your Highness, it never happened. At that time, there were many victims. There were not a few people who picked up locusts and stuffed them into their mouths. The green juice flowed down, which looked extremely disgusting, but many victims survived."

According to the research of later generations, locusts are poisonous, especially when locusts living in groups face natural enemies, they will release highly poisonous.

But when the disaster victims got there, they had a strong desire to survive, and eating locusts was also an instinctive desire of the body.

Originally, there were not many people who could survive, and one more person could survive, which is better than changing children and eating and starving all over the wild, right?

"Ma Zhou, if this matter is entrusted to you, can you do it well?"

Ma Zhou was stunned, "Your Highness, if Ma Zhou is given enough rights, Ma Zhou will definitely be able to do well."

"only……"

Li Ke looked at Ma Zhou. He knew Ma Zhou's worries. The court was complicated, people were treacherous, and natural disasters and man-made disasters were easy to deal with, but some people wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, which was a huge resistance.

In particular, some people will use the plague of locusts to deal a heavy blow to Li Shimin. In their eyes, Li Shimin is just a temporary emperor who is not qualified to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. If you get the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, these people will not recognize you.

Li Shimin is not afraid that Datang has no money, and if he has no money, he can take his time.

Don't be afraid that Datang has no population, and there is no population that can be raised slowly with policies.

They are not afraid of fighting in the Tang Dynasty. Whenever foreign enemies invade, they only need to fight. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not afraid of fighting.

But Li Shimin is afraid that someone will use soft knives, conspiracy in the court, and overt schemes, which every emperor of Li Shimin has encountered, to force Li Shimin away abruptly.

Natural disasters are coming, and you have committed your own crimes.

To issue an edict of guilt means to carry a huge stone on the back, as heavy as a mountain, which means that an emperor is inferior to others.

Among the courtiers, anyone who had the opportunity would definitely be impeached, and the emperor completely lost the chance to wrestle with the ministers.

The emperor has only one person, but there are countless ministers.

In this way, will hundreds of officials and people in the world still submit?

It's just slow death.

Li Shimin is afraid, so someone needs to stand up, and this person must have enough power.

But once this matter is not done well, there is only one ending for this person, and that is death.

Ma Zhou knew that once he agreed, it meant that he might die.

Ma Zhou hesitated for a moment, then his eyes were firm: "Your Highness, if Ma Zhou can do it, Ma Zhou will definitely spare no effort."

Li Ke smiled: "In that case, it's you."

Ma Zhou never thought about this question, so he remained silent.

Li Ke got up slowly: "The matter of locusts will soon cause an uproar in the court, you should be prepared."

"Life and death are fateful, but it depends on human efforts!"

Ma Zhou didn't have much to do with Li Ke, and he didn't feel anything unusual until eating.

That beautiful woman is His Highness's maid, but every time that woman laughs, Ma Zhou always thinks that woman can eat people.

The black dog on the side didn't say a word, just listened to His Highness's words, the murderous look in his eyes was extremely obvious.

Ma Zhou had seen wild beasts when he was wandering, and the wild beasts had such eyes, seemingly calm and undisturbed, as long as there was a chance, they would bite off the necks of their prey.

Ma Zhou shrank his neck, and saw Li Ke was fiddling with something again. On the spread out rice paper, that strange stone looked like a big seal.

Pressing the corner of the rice paper, the whole piece of rice paper would obviously be blown up by the wind, but only one corner was pressed, as if it was pressed firmly, and it was pressed against the table.

Ma Zhou became even more curious.

When Li Ke got up, a cow had been clearly dissected and reached the edge of the stove.

Ma Zhou carefully tried to pick up the stone on which the rice paper was pressed to see what it was.

Gently exerting force, a huge stone-like pressure came from between the fingers.

Ma Zhou's scalp felt numb!

He works hard!
But the stone pressing the rice paper did not move at all.

Fan Tianyin is never something that ordinary people can pick up. Daji saw it and smiled: "Don't try to pick up that big seal, I can't even lift it, let alone you."

Ma Zhou suddenly found that here, he was looked down upon by everyone.

He was a little uncomfortable.

It's fine for His Highness's maid to look down on her, and that black dog also looks down on her, which is uncomfortable.

Li Ke looked at Ma Zhou, didn't speak, but said to Daji: "Prepare more today, the three of them should be back."

Li Junxian is relatively close, and will return to Chang'an soon. Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng are already on the way, and it is estimated that they will arrive in about an hour.

Ma Zhou felt a little useless: "Your Highness, I'll help with the cooking."

Li Ke nodded.

Ma Zhou came to the side of the stove and saw the astonishing scene, the horror on his face distorted his face.

What did he see, he saw the woman with a trace of flames emerging from her fingertips.

hiss……

Doesn't she hurt?

no……

what did she do...

Ma Zhou clearly saw that the flame from Daji's fingertips was casually thrown into the stove, and then, the ball of dry firewood burned in the blink of an eye, and the fire was surging and extremely vigorous.

Ma Zhou's back was covered with cold sweat, resisting the curiosity and fear, he began to hug the firewood.

"How to add it?"

"It's okay, we'll add more after the pot boils."

"Go and get the bones."

Ma Zhou turned his head and saw the cow that had been cut open, but the bone was still in the meat, how to get it?

Just as Ma Zhou was scratching his head, Daji's voice came faintly: "Forget, you are just a mortal."

While speaking, the cow's flesh and blood seemed to be pried by something, and it began to move. Then, there were a few clicks, and Ma Zhou opened his mouth wide in an instant.

The beef bone just floated up out of thin air and flew towards the pot.
