Chapter 71

After a long while, Cui Xinghe said with a trembling tone, "Everything is correct. These locusts indeed love the wasteland after the river water recedes."

"But this is absolutely impossible for anyone who is not knowledgeable. How do you know?"

Cui Xinghe looked at Gao Yang squarely for the first time, full of shock.

Gao Yang said with full reminiscence, "This is all recorded in the ancient book given by that old man with a celestial appearance."

"After I checked a large number of historical books, I almost dare to conclude that it is absolutely true!"

"I implore Your Majesty to provide disaster relief quickly!"

Gao Yang pushed everything onto this mysterious old man.

Wu Zhao's gaze was earnest, and she said, "Gao Yang, quickly go and invite this old Daoist priest to come. I will treat him with the courtesy of a State Preceptor."

Gao Yang said with a look of regret, "Your Majesty, I have only met this old man once, and since then, there has been no news at all. Perhaps he has already passed away."

He looked heartbroken and looked at the ceiling of the Imperial Study, appearing very sad.

Wu Zhao stared at Gao Yang, suspicion flashing in her heart.

But right now, it concerned millions of people in Guanzhong, and it was not the time to investigate this point.

"Since the old immortal has passed his mantle to you, you will go to Guanzhong for disaster relief!"

Wu Zhao took a deep breath and was about to make a decision.

But Gao Yang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, wait!"

"I am a strategist and am not good at military strategy."

"I fear I am not qualified to lead fifty thousand chickens and ducks!"

Wu Zhao frowned, "Then in your opinion, what should be done?"

Gao Yang bowed respectfully and said to Wu Zhao, "In my opinion, the person for this disaster relief should be a fierce general with illustrious military merit!"
