âCanât you see it?â
Tang Jian turned his head and looked at Luo Yong next to him, who wore a puzzled expression.
But soon, he remembered.
Apparently, fortune was something only he could see.
The Luo Yong by his side couldnât see it.
âBrother Luo, thereâs quite a difference between East Earth Town and Huangqu Town. How about we prepare some more?â
âWait until the troops are well-rested and then choose to attack?â
Tang Jian, wielding the white feather fan in his hand, spoke calmly.
âAlright thenâ¦â
Luo Yong nodded, then went back to sitting in the main seat.
The generals inside the tent dispersed from the commanderâs camp one after another.
They gradually started to prepare for the various matters preceding the assault on East Earth Town.
â¦
In the blink of an eye, another day had passed.
Luo Yong, stationed outside East Earth Town, was still making preparations before the siege.
Meanwhile, inside the Luo Family Ancestral Land in Qingshi Town.
Inside the room where the Luo Family Patriarch was.
At that moment, Luo Ping was perusing the documents related to grain storage.
âAlthough the grain transported by the Luo Family from Jiangnan Prefecture this time wasnât much, after all, it was the first transaction.â
âThe trust between both parties has not yet been fully established.â
âIf there are a few more such transactions, the food crisis should be temporarily resolved.â
âAt that time, we can continue to expand the scale of recruiting refugees.â
Thinking this in his heart, Luo Ping suddenly raised his head and called out softly to the Luo Family servant guarding outside the room, âSomeoneâ¦â
âFamily Head, what do you command?â
The servant, dressed in the Luo Familyâs distinctive gray, bowed slightly, showing respect.
âHow far has the construction of the outer city of Qingshi Town progressed to date?â
The servant, bowing his head slightly, responded quietly, âFamily Head, the construction of the outer city of Qingshi Town has been completed to about two-thirds.â
âThe remaining part will take about one more year to complete.â
Luo Ping nodded, then asked, âAnd those monks of the outer city, how are they now?â
âIs the size of their following still increasing steadily?â
This time, the servant pondered for a moment before replying softly, âThe monks in the outer city continue to spread various information about Buddhism, among which the idea that entering Buddhism will lead to the Western Paradise after death is being promoted most fervently.â
âThe number of believers in the outer city has increased at least threefold compared to a while backâ¦â
âThe number of believers has increased at least threefold?â
Upon hearing this, Luo Pingâs eyebrows knit together slightly.
However, after a moment,
he waved his hand, indicating that the servant in the room could leave.
â¦
After the Luo Family servant had left,
the quiet room was left once again with only Luo Ping.
âThe number of believers has increased by at least threefold?â
âAfter death, one can go to the Western Paradise?â
Thinking about these things, Luo Pingâs head began to ache.
He really didnât know what to do about those monks in the outer city.
He had previously reported the matter to Patriarch Changfeng,
but Patriarch Changfeng had said there was no need to pay attention to it for the time being.
Now, as time passed, the number of followers of those monks was increasing at a virus-like rate.
If this continued, would Qingshi Town still be their Luo Familyâs Qingshi Town?
However, what brought Luo Ping some schadenfreude was that regarding the issue of the monks,
none of the King of Huai Shui, Tang Family, or the Chen Family
seemed to have taken any action against those monks and their followers yet.
He wondered whether those three forces didnât know how to handle it or were reluctant to act against those monks and their followers?
â¦
In the Luo Family Ancestral Land of Qingshi Town,
there was a quaint courtyard radiating an ancient aura.
At this time, Luo Changfeng was sitting quietly in the Stone Pavilion.
He held a cup of iced tea, sipping it slowly and steadily.
In front of him was Fu Qiu, the current Sect Master of the Luoshan Prefecture Sub-sect of the Wan Dan Sect,
who was also sitting quietly in the same pavilion.
He was drinking from a cup of chilled tea in his hand.
âBrother Luo, you sure know how to enjoy life!â
âIn this sweltering summer, drinking a cup of chilled tea is indeed very comfortingâ¦â
As Fu Qiu finished his cup of chilled tea,
he poured himself another full cup.
âSo, what exactly did you come to me for this time?â
âJust for a sip of this tea?â
âI donât suppose thatâs the caseâ¦â
Luo Changfeng took a sip from his tea, squinted his eyes, and looked at the old man with a cane in front of him.
âBrother Luo, Iâve indeed come for an important matter this time.â
âOh? What matter?â Luo Changfeng asked.
âAs you know, Brother Luo, due to the multiple Sub-sects of the Wan Dan Sect, there is significant competition among them.â
âIt would have been fine in the past.â
âThis old bag of bones of mine couldnât compete with the other Wan Dan Sect Sub-sects in the Da Feng Dynasty.â
âBut now, the situation is different.â
âIsnât that right, with Brother Luo, you here?â
Luo Changfeng glanced at Fu Qiu in front of him and asked in a low voice, âSo, what is it exactly?â
âThe Main Sect of the Wan Dan Sect has distributed an order today.â
âWithin ten days, anyone who can submit one thousand Yellow Grade low-quality Detoxification Pills will receive a Yellow Grade low-quality Defensive Spiritual Weapon from the Main Sect.â
âAdditionally, it will also contribute to the end-of-year rankingâ¦â
