Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 445 The Locust Plague Outbreak
With the passage of time, in the next ten days or so, the literary test and military test will also be carried out in an orderly manner.After observing the losers of the martial arts test, Ye Mo also recruited nearly [-] students for the martial arts academy.

After all, the Martial Academy is an official organization.If those losers do not agree to go to the martial arts academy as a student, then they can only leave with regret.

Of course, not everyone would agree to the invitation of the Martial Academy.There are always some people who think that they are just unlucky and have met a master, otherwise they will definitely be able to enter the court's sight.People with such thoughts will naturally not accept the invitation from the Martial Academy.

For such a person, Ye Mo will not force anything.After all, people have their own ambitions, and they have their own ideas. Even if those people are forcibly pulled into the martial arts academy, they will not study and train well.

As the competition progressed, Ye San, who was only relying on sword skills in the competition, still did not enter the top ten in the martial arts test.Even Ye Qingchi barely made it into the top ten.

Until the final decision of the top three, the three are Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and Wenpin.These three will have a good result, Ye Mo is not curious, but Ye Mo is a little regretful, in the end there are still no other generals appearing.

Moreover, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao, whom Ye Mo had contacted before, did not appear.If these two people were there, it would be hard for Pei Yuanshao to say, but Zhou Cang was a top ten existence on duty.

In terms of martial arts, Zhou Cang might not be as good as Ye Qingchi.But Zhou Cang is a battle-tested man after all, and his experience in fighting enemies is much richer than that of Ye Qingchi.Furthermore, it's not that Zhou Cang has no advantage against Ye Qingchi.

Zhou Cang is powerful, but the arena is only so big.In this case, Zhou Cang's advantages can also be brought into full play.

As for the essay test, Chen Deng also won the champion of the final essay test without the slightest suspense.

It's just about the martial arts test, but the finals of the martial arts test have not yet been reached, but because of an incident, the final of the martial arts test was finally cancelled.

As for this sudden event, Ye Mo had predicted it before, and that was the occurrence of the locust plague.

Originally, spring plowing had already started at this time, but after the common people sowed the seeds, they just watched the crops grow green shoots, but unexpectedly they were eaten up by the sudden appearance of locusts.

This locust plague has spread to a wide range, which is simply staggering.The entire territory of the Han Dynasty, including Jingzhou in the south, has been affected, and even the grasslands in the north, and there is no trace of green outside Chang'an City in the west, and Qingzhou in the east is also full of flying insects at this time.

Such a big thing happened, and in just a few days, the locust plague has already reached such a large scale.At this time, how can the martial arts test continue?

However, although the martial arts test will not continue, so many people have come to Luoyang, after all, they have played so many games. If the results of the games are invalid, it will always be unreasonable.

And on the day when the locust plague broke out on a large scale, Ye Mo notified all those who participated in the literary and military examinations to participate in the celebration and award ceremony at night.

This so-called award ceremony is also a new word that came out of Ye Mo's mouth.Originally, even if this was to give some rewards to those who achieved good results at the end, it should be called a celebration.It's just that Ye Mo pointed out that the martial arts test has not been held yet, so naturally it can't be called a celebration, and the word "awards" can only be used.

During the dinner, although more than 3000 people had already gathered on the field, Ye Mo didn't put any food on the table except for the drinks.

These 3000 people were due to someone leaving after losing the competition. Otherwise, how could there be only these 3000 people on the field at this time?
Ye Mo and the others arrived at the scene only when the torches were lit.

After Ye Mo and others came over, the original noise on the field stopped immediately, but there were still a small number of people who were still saying something to the people next to them.

After Ye Mo arrived, he first climbed onto a high platform in the middle, then took out a simple version of a large speaker, and began to say to the people around him: "I, Ye, came here late today, so I will apologize to everyone." No."

As soon as Ye Mo said these words, everyone was shocked.They naturally knew who the person on the stage was. Even though it was night, they had already been notified that Ye Mo would come to attend the ceremony.

Who is Ye Mo? He is the patriarch of the dignified Ye family, one of the most powerful people in the entire Han Dynasty.But now Ye Mo actually apologized to them for being late, he couldn't believe it.

And Ye Mo didn't interrupt after hearing the commotion of those people below, but looked at those people with a smile on his face and let out a burst of exclamation.After those people calmed down, Ye Mo continued: "However, there is a reason why Ye was late."

As soon as Ye Mo finished speaking, someone brought plates of food from all around the square to every table in the square.However, the food served by those people was all the same food. Even the table where Ye Mo and the others were going to sit had the same food.

After looking at the food on the table, everyone was shocked again.Could this be the reason for the late arrival that Ye Mo said?

Looking at the shocked crowd, Ye Mo smiled again.This result was exactly the same as what he had imagined. "Now everyone is hungry, so let's eat with open belly. Of course, if someone doesn't like the drinks and food provided by Ye, they can leave at any time."

After Ye Mo finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed away immediately.In those people's eyes, Ye Mo was just teasing them, first he arrived late, and then brought out some food, obviously he didn't have any good intentions.

Watching those people leave, Ye Mo didn't say anything.Because he knew how much the food he served had an impact on those people.Moreover, those who left were mostly literati. As for those warriors, their ability to accept was much greater.

The food that Ye Mo placed on those tables was obviously made of locusts.If it was placed in Ye Mo's previous life, these things would naturally be delicious.But at this time, the people of the Han Dynasty are still worshiping the temple of insects, how could they dare to eat locusts?

But Ye Mo couldn't control so much, after talking so much, he walked directly to his seat and asked everyone to eat.

Accompanying Ye Mo are Lu Bu, Yuan Yi and others. Under Ye Mo's persuasion, these people have already tried fried locusts, so eating locusts at this time will not be a psychological burden. A rare delicacy.

Everyone saw that Ye Mo started to move, and gradually some people tried to eat the fried locusts in front of them.Among these people, Wei Yan was the first to speak.

"Haha, you don't even dare to eat a bug, and you still come to participate in this martial arts test?" Wei Yan said this, but at the same time, he deliberately glanced at Wenpin twice.

As the top ten in the martial arts test, Wei Yan and Wenpin are naturally sitting at the same table.Wei Yan had fought against Wenpin before, but Wei Yan stopped fighting at that time, so it ended in a tie.At this time, Wei Yan also wanted to tease Wenpin a little bit, after all, the people at this table looked more fun than Wenpin.

As expected, after Wenpin heard Wei Yan's words, he didn't care about the little bit of awe and disgust towards the bug in his heart, so he just grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

Seeing Wenpin's provocative eyes while eating the locusts, Wei Yan didn't pay attention at all.

After Huang Zhong saw the situation of the two of them, he couldn't help shaking his head.Wenpin is still too young after all.It's just that Wei Yan provoked a little, and Wenpin was like this, and he was directly at a disadvantage.

But Ye Qingchi at the same table, in Huang Zhong's view, is very calm.Moreover, Ye Qingchi's age is not much older than Wenpin's, but his strength is almost the same.If it weren't for the fact that Wenpin had more experience in fighting against the enemy than Ye Qingchi, Huang Zhong couldn't guarantee that Wenpin would beat Ye Qingchi.

Similar age, similar strength, and less experience, Ye Qingchi is more calm than Wenpin, which naturally aroused Huang Zhong's boundless curiosity.

Although it is said that Wenpin's strength has not reached its peak at this time, Huang Zhong does not believe that Ye Qingchi's strength is just like this.

"The future is still dominated by young people." Taking another look at Wei Yan, who was pretending to be mature, Huang Zhong also picked up a locust and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking in his heart.

Ye Mo didn't know what kind of thoughts these people would have in their hearts, but the food for this dinner party came to Ye Mo after careful consideration.

The arrival of the locust plague will naturally plunge the Han Dynasty into famine.Even if Ye Mo could obtain a large amount of food through the system, after all, the place is too small, and the system cannot provide so much food.If this is the case, then you can only think of other ways.

And the present dinner party is one of the ways Ye Mo thought of.Since locusts can eat some food, the people will eat locusts.Although it won't last long, at least it's a way.

As for why they chose to eat locusts at the dinner party, it was because of where these people came from.These people came from different places, so when they go back, they will naturally bring back the news that locusts can be eaten.In this way, the news can be spread as soon as possible.

Among the people left on the scene, after someone took the lead, everyone also began to try to eat the fried locusts and grilled locusts in front of them.

After eating, these people's taste buds were also shocked by the stimulation of delicious food.Even those sitting far away from Ye Mo have already started to rob.

Delicious, big night, no one sees, why not grab it?
