Chapter 1808 The Prince Rebellions

Three whole days! For them, these three days were simply a journey of nightmares and miracles.

It is so long that it feels as if every millisecond is stretched infinitely, becoming an unbearable painful torture; but at the same time, it is like a white horse running away from its reins, so short that it disappears without a trace before people can even blink.

During these thrilling three days, they did not stop for a moment and traveled day and night.

During the day, the scorching sun mercilessly burned the earth, and sweat soaked their clothes like springs, but they dared not slack off in the slightest; at night, everything was silent, and only the bright moonlight fell on their tired bodies, bringing a hint of coolness, but they had no time to enjoy the tranquility, and still moved non-stop towards their goal.

The long period of running has pushed everyone's body to the limit. The heavy legs feel like they are filled with lead and difficult to lift. The sore muscles protest and even the eyelids become extremely heavy and seem like they will close at any time.

However, those eyes always shine with determination and persistence, like the brightest stars in the night sky, illuminating the thorny road ahead.

After countless battles and unremitting efforts, they finally ushered in the dawn of victory - they successfully eliminated the swarms of locusts that attempted to attack the crops.

The swarms of locusts that once flew all over the sky and covered the sun gradually decreased until they completely disappeared due to their tenacious resistance.

The green fields of crops reappeared before our eyes, and when the breeze blew, ripples appeared on the fields, as if paying high tribute to these brave and fearless soldiers.

After Wang Chuanxing successfully got the situation under control on his side, he picked up paper and pen without hesitation and began to write a letter to Ye Zifen who was far away.

Through this letter, he wanted to convey a reassuring message to her so that she would no longer worry about him.

Not long after Wang Chuanxing sent out his letter, another letter arrived from his distant hometown.

The content of the letter was comforting: although my hometown had also suffered from a locust plague, the situation was not as serious as imagined.

Although locusts did appear, the pests were quickly and effectively contained thanks to timely response and effective measures.

In just about a day, the locust plague was basically under control.

In addition, the letter from my hometown also described the current grain production situation in detail.

This year has been blessed with favorable weather and pleasant climate, which has enabled the crops to thrive.

Each ear of wheat is full and heavy with grains, heralding an upcoming bumper harvest.

Ye Zifen sat upright at the desk, the sunlight shining through the window onto her, outlining a soft golden edge.

Her slender white hands tightly held a letter, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

At this moment, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and a joyful smile spread across her beautiful face like a blooming spring flower.

The words in the letter seemed to have magical power, continuously conveying endless warmth and happiness, making her already relaxed and happy mood even more comfortable.

However, just as Ye Zifen was immersed in this joy, a burst of hurried and heavy footsteps came from afar, breaking the silence in the house.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Gaoyi's tall and burly figure rushed into the room.

Since the last locust plague on the grassland subsided, Zhang Gaoyi rushed back to the construction site without stopping and continued to devote himself to the construction of the city.

No one expected that after just a few days of not seeing him, he would show up here again in such a hurry. This really surprised Ye Zifen.

Zhang Gaoyi was seen panting and looking panicked, with a few crystal clear beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.

He didn't bother to greet anyone. When he saw Ye Zifen, he grabbed her arm as if she were a life-saving straw. He then dragged her quickly to a quiet corner of the room.

After arriving at the destination, Zhang Gaoyi first looked around vigilantly. After confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said to Ye Zifen: "I just received an urgent message from the Tiger Army. For some reason, several princes suddenly united to rebel!"

Hearing this, Ye Zifen's originally curved eyebrows suddenly raised upwards, and the bright smile on her face froze instantly, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Instead, she had a cold and serious expression. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were sharp as a knife, and she stared at Zhang Gaoyi and asked, "What's going on? Why did they suddenly rebel?"

Zhang Gaoyi took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the anxiety and tension in his heart into his body.

He calmed himself down, then slowly spoke: "The general just sent a message saying that due to the rampant locust plague, all places have fallen into panic. However, what's worse is that several princes took the opportunity to spread rumors, accusing the emperor of being immoral and incompetent, and believed that it was the emperor's immorality that caused the locust plague. Not only that, they also spread rumors that the emperor was jealous of the eldest princess, so he cruelly exiled her to the desolate grassland."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zifen couldn't help but widen her eyes and said in astonishment, "How...how come I am involved in this? They can't just pull it up like this! It's just nonsense!"

Zhang Gaoyi shook his head slightly and explained with a wry smile: "I guess they might be targeting the Tiger Army. After all, there are more of us in the Tiger Army, and we all know the injustice you have suffered. So when we hear such rumors, it is inevitable that we will have doubts and wild thoughts."

Ye Zifen frowned tightly, with flames of anger burning in her eyes, while also revealing a hint of deep confusion.

She gnashed her teeth and said, "These princes are really too much! In order to fight for the supreme power, they don't hesitate to use such despicable and shameless means, and wantonly fabricate lies to slander others. Aren't they afraid of being punished by God? They are all causing trouble for me!"

She is still a little angry now. She hates the intrigues in the capital the most.

Zhang Gaoyi's face was also filled with worry. He sighed anxiously and said, "The current situation is indeed complicated. Their move is extremely sinister and cunning. Their purpose is nothing more than to use these rumors to shake the morale of the army and the people, so as to gain greater benefits for themselves. But in the face of such a predicament, how should we deal with it?"
