Chapter 252: Corn Seeds Stolen
The eldest prince racked his brains for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "I can't remember."
He looked so depressed, as if he had lost his most precious treasure.
This was extremely abnormal, and Chu Ci was not the only one who felt strange. The Fifth Prince was determined: "Something is wrong, something is very wrong."
The purple-robed envoy also spoke up immediately: "I'm afraid it's not just the Fifth Prince who is saying this, there's something wrong with all of us."
Chu Ci heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Perhaps when Qian Baobao's grandfather went to find Zhang Xiwu, what we did was already exposed."
Everyone present was startled when they heard this.
The Fifth Prince was even more shocked, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees. He said loudly: "It's not a Gu, and we are not poisoned. Then what kind of mysterious means did the other party use to influence the thinking of so many people without us noticing or knowing it?"
"This is simply too bizarre and unbelievable! If the other party uses the same method against my father..."
Before the Fifth Prince finished his guess, the First Prince and the Purple Envoy became extremely anxious and said, "Send a letter to the capital immediately."
After making the decision, when the Purple-Robed Envoy was about to borrow the eagle from Chu Ci again, the Embroidered-Robed Law Enforcement Officer who was guarding outside suddenly knocked on the door.
Three short and one long knocks on the door were a signal between the Xiuyi law enforcement officers that there was an emergency.
"Come in—" Following the purple-robed envoy's order, two embroidered-robed law enforcement officers hurried in.
"Sir, Lord Feng and Taoist Yunshang have arrived. Taoist Yunshang also asked his subordinates to bring a message to Princess Yixin. He said that those people from that year have appeared." When the purple-robed envoy and others heard this, they were all shocked.
"Bring the person in immediately." The purple-robed envoy gave the order decisively without any hesitation.
"Yes." The law enforcer in embroidered robes did not hesitate and walked as fast as the wind, quickly leading Taoist Feng Yan and Taoist Yun Shang in.
"Your Highness the King of Shu, Your Highness the King of Qin..." As soon as the two men came in and were about to salute, the eldest prince and the fifth prince each helped one of them up.
"Please stand up, both of you. Taoist Yunshang, do you take your previous message seriously?" The Fifth Prince's face was filled with anxiety, his eyes fixed on Taoist Yunshang, eager to get a definite answer.
Taoist Master Yunshang did not respond to the Fifth Prince's question, but looked at Chu Ci.
After getting Chu Ci's approval, he said, "I believe that with the Fifth Prince's intelligence, he should be able to guess the purpose of this trip of the old Taoist and Lord Feng, right?"
"Our abnormality is the result of those people's tricks?" If it was just a vague guess before, after hearing Taoist Yunshang's words, the Fifth Prince knew that this was the fact in an instant.
"That's right." Taoist Yunshang said it decisively, without any hesitation or denial.
When the Fifth Prince was about to ask Taoist Master Yun Shang how he knew about their situation, the First Prince could no longer hold back and asked anxiously, "Is there any way to deal with it?"
This time, Taoist Yunshang did not say anything. Feng Yan stepped forward and said with a cupped hand, "The amulet drawn by Princess Yixin herself will do."
Thus, Chu Ci once again deeply experienced the feeling of being the focus of everyone's attention.
However, Chu Ci got excited and blurted out: "I must do it myself? Who knows how many people have been infected? My hands will be broken, right?"
Feng Yan and Yun Shang blushed when they heard Chu Ci's words. "We have tried many ways, but only the amulet you drew yourself is effective."
"Wait, have you tried it? Has anyone in Lianzhou been infected?" Chu Ci asked anxiously with a puzzled look on his face.
"It's Yuanniang. Although we discovered it in time, someone still stole the corn seeds." When Feng Yan said this, his expression became even more guilty.
"Corn seeds?" Chu Ci thought about it a lot and racked his brains but he couldn't imagine that the other party's purpose was this?
Even though a crop has been harvested, all the corn seeds currently add up to only a little over ten acres.
What good can such a small amount of seeds do?
Chu Ci was confused, [Could those people be planning to store food? ]
But as soon as this option emerged, Chu Ci immediately rejected it.
Even if they knew how to grow corn, it would take many years to store enough corn. Moreover, the amount of corn stolen would not be much, so it would take even longer.
Chu Ci frowned, full of confusion and unable to understand the purpose of those people stealing corn seeds.
The eldest prince looked solemn and said slowly, "Princess Yixin, how long will it take for corn to be popularized?"
Chu Ci was stunned when he heard this, then thought for a while and quickly made a comprehensive and detailed summary of corn's planting conditions, growth cycle, promotion difficulty, etc.
But whether it was the eldest prince, the fifth prince, or the purple-robed envoy, all of them had frowns on their faces.
Obviously, they were not satisfied with the answer given by Chu Ci.
After thinking it over again and again, the fifth prince still placed his hope on Chu Ci: "Is there no other way? The potatoes back then..."
Chu Ci knew what the Fifth Prince was planning before he finished speaking.
He rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "You said it too, it's a potato!"
"Your Highness, Prince Qin, instead of worrying about those vague problems that may arise in the future, why not worry more about your own physical condition?"
"After all..." Chu Ci did not directly say that the other party's brain was abnormal, but just his actions were very heartbreaking!
The eldest prince endured and endured, his expression changed several times, and finally he could only utter one sentence: "Well, I will go back to my room and write the memorial. Princess Yixin and my fifth brother can discuss how to deal with the peace amulet."
After saying that, the eldest prince ran away without saying anything else. His speed was so fast!
If you don't know, you might think there is some vicious beast chasing him madly!
This made Chu Ci want to say: "She still has a few amulets in her hand."
But I didn't even have the chance to speak.
But it was fine this way, there were six people in the room including the couple. "Come on, come on, there's one for each person, share it with everyone."
As Chu Ci spoke, he took out a amulet from his pocket.
The prince looked at the amulet that was forcibly stuffed into his hand and said with a smile: "Boss, if he knew, he would regret it, right?"
The others did not respond, but their movements to collect the amulets were noticeably faster.
Seeing this, Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh: They are all smart people!
Immediately, a smart guy jumped out and said slyly, "We don't know anything. This amulet was given to us by our family."
