"This is a disease and needs to be treated," Li Tie said.

Not only the two of them, but everyone around who saw this scene was shaking their heads.

The story of the verbal battle between the monk and the Taoist priest had spread a long time ago and developed into a major anecdote in Jinan City.

The rumor spread from one end of the street to the other, where the monk and the Taoist priest were arguing with each other. In the middle of the street, it became that the monk intended to rape the Taoist priest. Then, when it reached the end of the street, it became that Lingyun Temple and Jinguang Temple were planning a marriage, but neither side had women, so they wanted their two disciples to have a gay relationship.

Anyway, it's just too unbearable to listen to.

Those who spread the rumors all spoke with such detail and authenticity, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

Whether the listeners believe it or not, these two people are famous.

This happened again today, and many people looked at the monk and the Taoist priest with strange eyes.

I don’t know about other explanations, but the monk definitely has a masochistic tendency.

However, in the world of Jianghu, there are all kinds of strange people, and it is just a joke. No one will go to find out the truth.

The party continues.

To be honest, it's a bit shabby.

They were all very ordinary food, and the side dishes were similar to the dry dishes that Qin He always had on hand.

The staple food actually includes steamed buns, and the meat is just some salted fish, pickles and so on.

Don't overdo it, just enough to keep you full.

But what matters at a celebration banquet is not the quality of the food, but the atmosphere.

I hope that the joy it brings is above all else, and that it can lift one’s spirits, even in the face of adversity and hardship.

Being at the forefront of the war, resisting the arrogant White Lotus Army in the most dangerous and eye-of-the-storm place, he managed to hold up the last bit of luck of the Dali Dynasty.

The pressure can be imagined, and the timid people may be scared and unable to sleep all night.

……

For several days after the banquet, good news came one after another.

The imperial army was advancing like a hot knife through butter, but strangely enough, the main force of the White Lotus Army stationed outside the city of Jinan did not react at all.

They neither stepped forward to stop the enemy, nor did they prepare for battle, nor did they attack the city again.

They just sat there and watched as the White Lotus troops on the periphery collapsed layer by layer under the crushing pressure of the absolute superiority of the imperial army.

The smooth progress actually caused the imperial army to become suspicious.

The commander-in-chief, General Cao Wenzhao, who defended the country, hurriedly gathered the vanguard and sent out scouts in all directions. He was determined to clear all the surrounding strongholds before advancing again, for fear of being ambushed.

They were completely cautious as if they were marching outside the Great Wall.

Even though the intelligence from the spies repeatedly told them that there was a big problem within the White Lotus Army, a large number of experts disappeared inexplicably, and the central control was suspected to be paralyzed.

As expected, when the imperial army was about to break through the last outer barrier, the White Lotus army really collapsed.

Hundreds of thousands of people threw away their weapons and armor, and each of them was given a little food and money. They turned from soldiers to civilians and quickly dispersed among the people and disappeared.

After the White Lotus army collapsed, the remaining troops also fled.

The White Lotus soldiers, who were originally poor people, disappeared almost overnight. After the chaotic division of spoils and hurried footsteps, this arrogant rebel army seemed to have never appeared.

The imperial army was unstoppable at the beginning, but then they advanced step by step in the middle, and finally arrived late, not arriving at the city of Jinan until five days later.

After Jinan was recovered, the smoke of war in the vast Lu area quickly dissipated.

After more than a month, the Lu area was completely pacified.

As winter goes and spring comes, the ice and snow melt, and the earth eagerly absorbs the "rain" brought by winter.

New buds sprouted from the branches of the plants that had tenaciously survived a year.

Amidst countless ruins, the people who survived the war began to clean up their homes.

After clearing away the broken walls and remains, Lu will usher in a new cycle of rise and fall.

The vast majority of people are like weeds in the fields. After the fire, a new spring will always come.

The space left by the dead will soon be replaced by new population.

This cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Just walking in the middle of the village, it is inevitable to feel lonely.

There is no human habitation within a hundred miles, and no rooster crows within ten miles.

"Master, where are we going?"

More than a hundred miles southeast of Jinan City, Qin He was riding a small yellow ox and Wang Tiezhu was riding a small donkey, walking aimlessly on the plains.

After leaving Jinan City, Qin He didn't say where he was going, but there was a road under his feet, passing through one dilapidated village after another.

All the way, wind and rain will accompany you.

"I'm not going anywhere, just wandering around." Qin He said with a smile while wearing a bamboo hat.

"The imperial army has returned, shouldn't we join them?" Wang Tiezhu has become more talkative since he became an adult.

"After we finish our tour of Ludi, we'll go back and catch up."

"Why do you want to walk through Ludi?"

"Because I once promised someone that the coming year in Lu would be a good year with good weather and good harvests."
