"Who wants you to hurt?" Lu Li said angrily, "Where did Qingfeng go? Why didn't you see him?"

Murong Yao pulled him to sit down at the dining table, raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Li, "Are you still thinking of others in front of me?"

What kind of flying vinegar is he eating?

Lu Li is not in the mood to joke with him, and the whereabouts of the orchid essence have not been found yet.The orchid essence has just taken shape, and it has always been a plant before. It doesn't understand the dangers of the world, so he can't feel relieved if he doesn't see it.

Lu Li said: "One of my brothers was abducted by him, you call him over, I want to ask him about the specific situation."

Murong Yao took a piece of duck meat for him, "Don't worry, your little brother is safe now, you don't need to worry too much. However, if you always think about escaping, I can't guarantee it."

Lu Li looked at the duck meat in front of him, and ate it in one bite. It didn't look like eating duck meat, but rather like eating the meat of Murong Yao.

"I want to take a look at him." Lu Li said.

"He went to investigate the case with Qingfeng. If you want to see him, you have to wait for a month. This is something he left for you. I think you should understand after reading it." After saying that, Murong Yao handed over a piece of paper. Give the orchid leaves to Lu Li.

The faint aura of the orchid essence still remained on the leaves. The moment Lu Li touched the leaves, the aura flowed into Lu Li's body, and at the same time, the words of the orchid essence rang in his mind: "Lu Li, I met a bad guy in the city. The other party was in a daze, but fortunately he was rescued by Qingfeng. There was a strange aura about that person, like a demon but not a demon, so I decided to investigate with Qingfeng."

Lu Li didn't expect that the orchid essence would get mixed up with Qingfeng. Seeing how cowardly Qingfeng was when he saw him yesterday, he thought it was impossible for the orchid essence to run away with a cold-faced killer like Qingfeng.

Lu Li always felt that the orchid essence changed too quickly.

However, it was indeed the orchid essence that was transmitted to him by borrowing Ye Zi's aura. Ordinary people do not have such abilities.

Also, the villain mentioned by Orchid Flower Essence, could it be Qin Kun?

Thinking of this, Lu Li asked Murong Yao again: "Do you know Qin Kun, Prime Minister Qin's son?"

Murong Yao put down his chopsticks, an unknown glint flashed in his eyes, "What do you ask this man for?"

"I have met him a few times, and I want to meet him in the Qin Mansion." The last time I was seriously ill by him, the debt has not yet been settled.

"You go to the Qin Mansion, I'm afraid you won't see him, he left the capital." Murong Yao said.

The person Qingfeng and Lanhuajing were investigating was Qin Kun. It is not difficult to understand that Qin Kun was out of the city, and Lanhuajing was also out of the city.

But Qin Kun is the son of Prime Minister Qin, so how could he know the magic tricks, and how could he raise the rice borer king?What is his purpose?

Lu Li asked again: "What do you think of Qin Kun?"

Murong Yao slightly raised his eyebrows, "My concubine, you care more about Mr. Qin than you do about me!"

Only then did Lu Li smell a trace of sourness from his words, and he twitched the corners of his mouth and said contemptuously, "What kind of vinegar are you eating? Qin Kun is most likely related to the rice borer pest."

Murong Yao turned his face and kissed him, "I just don't like you being too curious about others. Qin Kun is famous in Beijing, and he is full of romantic debts. He is Qin Xiang's beloved son. However, like Wei Yu, he has never sought a job in the court. But he is still a little different from Wei Yu, in addition to his name, he also has some talents, and he is very popular among the people."

"Since he is talented and the son of Prime Minister Qin, why didn't he seek a position in the court?" Lu Li asked.

Murong Yao narrowed his eyes slightly, "Maybe he has a different pursuit, such as...the art of longevity."

A hundred years ago, there were many warlocks in the world who were obsessed with alchemy in search of a way of longevity, but alchemy was too risky, and many people died of poisoning due to taking elixirs.In the period of Emperor Ming, Emperor Ming ordered the prohibition of alchemy, and this trend came to an end.

Lu Li remembered that the orchid flower spirit said that Qin Kun had a demon-like aura, which probably had something to do with his cultivation with evil methods.When he met Qin Kun in front of the brothel for the first time, Qin Kun didn't feel anything, just like ordinary people.

Later, when I saw Qin Kun at the city gate, I could clearly feel that there was something weird about him.I don't know what kind of crooked art he is practicing, but the rice borer king probably has something to do with his practice.

"Don't think too much, let's eat first! I've left this matter to Qingfeng, so you don't have to ask about it from now on." Murong Yao asked Chai Liu to serve Lu Li a bowl of soup.

He didn't want Lu Li to intervene in this matter, because he didn't want to see Lu Li sick again.Although Lu Li is smart in some aspects, he is often misled by his cleverness. Compared with someone like Qin Kun who is good at playing tricks, Lu Li is still a little too immature.

"Who do you think I am so worried about!" Lu Li muttered dissatisfiedly, damn it, anyway, what they want to take is not their own country.

"Huh? What are you mumbling about?" Murong Yao started to laugh, "It turns out that I love my concubine because of me, and I am very happy. Come, eat more."

In the following days, Lu Li didn't bother to worry about it, anyway, this kind of thing was thankless.The arrogant and conceited Murong Yao always pretended to be full of confidence, and he wanted to see how capable this Murong Yao was.

The Sparrow Essence and Orchid Essence have both left Shixiangyuan, and Lu Li seldom goes to his lair now. Mr. Li from the Ministry of Industry sends people to pick him up every now and then, asking him to study the habits of those crops.

Murong Yao was busy with political affairs every day, except for sharing the same bed at night, the two hardly saw each other during the day.

Maybe distance creates beauty, and they gradually become harmonious when they get along like this.

During the day, Lu Li was dragged by Li Guang to study food and vegetables, and when he returned to Zhaoyang Palace, he was so sleepy that he fell asleep as soon as he lay down on the bed.Murong Yao slept next to him, and every night he could dream of that magic weapon full of spiritual power to replenish his spiritual power and improve his cultivation.

In a flash, it was the autumn harvest season. The rice field that Lu Li was in charge of matured relatively early, and the output was two to three times that of ordinary farmland. This coke spoiled Li Guang.He has worked in the Ministry of Industry for more than ten years, and has been trying to find ways to increase farmland production, but he did not expect to finally realize it now.

After the early rice was harvested, the rice in the farmland that Li Guang was in charge of was not yet mature.

Li Guang and Lu Li walked on the ridge of the field, and said with some emotion: "Master Lu, if you can teach this method of increasing production to farmers all over the world, it will be a merit. I used to have eyes but didn't know Mount Tai. I have offended you, thanks to Mr. Lu, who has a lot of people, and never bothered with this old man. Instead, he passed on these tricks to this old man without hesitation. This old man is very grateful. When all the rice is harvested this time, this old man decided to ask the emperor to help him outside the city. You build a mountain temple..."

Lu Li's eyelids twitched, "Come on, stop, building a mountain temple will shorten my life. I didn't discover this method, it was developed by my ancestors after a lot of hard work. If you really want to thank you, thank you He. I just picked up a bargain and told you about his achievements."

Lu Li was so annoyed by Li Guang some time ago, so he told him some knowledge about hybrid rice.Don't look at the old man Li Guang who is old-fashioned and pedantic in some aspects, but he is particularly eager to learn when he specializes in crops.

Li Guang saw that he was not arrogant, so he asked again: "Who is Mr. Lu's patriarch?"

"Yuan Longping." Lu Li continued, "In my hometown, he is a great scientist who solved the food problem for more than one billion people. The methods I told you are all the results of years of hard research by him. , so the person you have to remember is him."

"Mr. Lu's humility and sincerity, I admire him a lot, please be respected by the officials!" The disciple walking next to Li Guang pretended to kneel down.

At this time, the sparrow spirit flew over in a panic, "Lu Li Lu Li, it's not good! The locusts are coming!"

Lu Li looked in the direction of the sparrow spirit, and there were indeed a lot of black insects flying in the distance.Lu Li had heard about locust disasters in books, but this was the first time he experienced it himself.

Locusts are a common disease of crops, and a few of them will not cause any harm, but once gathered together, the damage to crops cannot be underestimated.Especially in this scientifically underdeveloped era, even insecticides are rare.

Lu Li said in a deep voice: "You don't need to pray, the locusts are here, it is true to find a way to deal with the locusts."

Li Guang and the others were also startled when they saw a cloud of black insects flying over from the distant sky.The rice ears on Lu Li's side have been harvested, but most of the rice ears in the paddy fields are not yet fully mature. If they are disturbed by the locusts, this year's success may fall short.

Not only that, these locusts eat up the crops here, and they will eat the crops of the people. In this way, disasters may occur this year.

Lu Li took the sparrow essence and walked towards the direction where the locusts came.

"There are too many locusts, and they are all big locusts. They are not ordinary locusts. They are very difficult to deal with. I can't deal with so many with one bird. Lu Li, let's run away quickly." The sparrow spirit said to Lu Li while flying .

Lu Li shook his head, "If you don't give it a try, how do you know you can't deal with it? These are all your great tonics. Maybe you can take them out and you can transform."

"No! I still think life is more important."

"It's the first time I heard that birds are afraid of insects. With me here, you will be fine. If these locusts are not resolved, they will cause turmoil in the world. I will use my spiritual power to control some of them first, and you will eat them." Lu Li said Then, he used his spiritual power to control the first batch of locusts flying towards this side.

On the other side, Murong Yao had brought someone over with a net to catch migratory locusts in the field.

The sparrow spirit has been eating those flying locusts non-stop. Fortunately, it has become a sperm, otherwise it would be difficult to swallow so many migratory locusts.Some of these migratory locusts already have some aura, which is really nourishing for them.

But if you overdo it, it's uncomfortable.

Lu Li used his spiritual power to control the locusts, making it easier for the officers and soldiers to catch them, but there were too many locusts, and he gradually felt exhausted.At this moment, a familiar aura hugged him from behind, "Leave this to them! Come with me to Zhuangzi and wait."

When Murong Yao pressed against him, a wave of spiritual power filled Lu Li's body, and he hesitated.

And just when he was hesitating, the locust seemed to have found a target, and quickly flew towards him and Murong Yao...
