Standing in the canopy, Li Chi looked at the enemy situation on the other side and suddenly thought of the past between him and his master in Fangcheng County.

Master Changmei Taoist later bragged for seven or eight years, but he never felt bored. It all depends on this matter.

In fact, thanks to the rain-seeking incident, the reputation of Changmei Taoist began to spread among the seven counties of Jizhou and became more and more famous.

Because of this, I later walked in these seven counties and met many people who had become enemies. I knew that they were Changmei Taoist, so no one made things difficult for them, the master and apprentice.

At that time, Jizhou was already in chaos. The rebels harmed the people, and the people had no way out. They also became rebels and then they harmed more people.

Whenever the Taoist Changmei mentioned this, he would always say that he didn't know whether it was our father-in-law's luck or that you, a kid, had hidden magic.

Because Taoist Changmei was sure that it was definitely not the rain he asked for, or if it was not luck, it would be Diuduer who used the magic technique.

But this luck really blessed Li Chi and his master to avoid dying from the rebels' wars in the next few years.

The most dangerous time was in Fangcheng County, four years after the rain was sought.

The master and apprentice met a rebel while in Fangcheng County and were surrounded. A group of people had already pressed forward. They didn't like any property they had on them, but they seemed almost out of their clothes, so how could they look like people with property?

The one I like is Li Chi, the child... can eat it.

Yes, this is not an alarmist thing, that is what happens almost every day in the land of Jizhou.

Taoist Changmei later said that no matter what it was, the rain saved the lives of the people, but it did not save the lives of the people.

The second year after the rain, the rebels snatched away all the food, and the people were killed and injured.

There was no drought in Jizhou since then, but no one farmed.

Seeing that Li Chi was about to be dragged away, the rebel leader appeared and he recognized the Changmei Taoist.

He shouted loudly at the so-called rebel army like primitive people and asked them to retreat.

The rebel leader shouted, "This is the Taoist priest who saved us back then. If there were no Taoist priests back then, we would all die in the drought."

The rebel leader said, "I raised some food and eggs for you back then, but we were sluts at that time, scolded the Taoist priest and took everything away."

Later, it rained heavily, and when I remembered it again, the Taoist priest and your disciple had already left.

The rebel leader also said that now...we can't make up food, let alone eggs.

He said, I'll kowtow to the Taoist priest.

So the rebel leader knelt down, kowtowed a few times at the Changmei Taoist, then got up, waved his hand and took the refugees away.

Li Chi didn't understand for a long time whether they were kind or cruel.

If they are kind, they can eat people, especially those from other places, they are like becoming real beasts and will not eat their own people unless they have to.

They said they were cruel, but they still remembered the incident when they prayed for rain, and regarded the Taoist Changmei as their benefactor.

Later, Taoist Changmei remembered this and wanted to say something to Li Chi, but because Li Chi was young, he didn't say it.

Those refugees did not eat Li Chi, not because of gratitude or because of kindness, but because they were afraid of retribution.

Because the Taoist Changmei is a god who can pray for rain.

The people would also say, look, the immortal's clothes are not covered, and the same tragic appearance as me is the real immortal.

Yes, they were still comforting themselves to that point. It was not that the immortals did not come to save them, but that the immortals were also in a downturn.

It’s not that the immortals don’t cast spells, but that the immortals are starved.

At this moment, standing on the hillside, Li Chi looked at the Shuzhou soldiers in the Meishan camp opposite, and suddenly remembered the refugees in Fangcheng County.

If the Ning army continues to be besiege, after half a year, and after a little longer, what will these Shuzhou troops eat in seven or eight months?

They may, and will also return to the identity that nature originally gave to humans... wild beasts.

“I don’t like rain.”

Yu Jiuling stood beside Li Chi, as if talking to himself.

"But when the rain is good for us, it doesn't matter if I don't like it. It's better to have a few more days."

Perhaps because he thought of something else, Yu Jiuling said a few more words.

"I am not a saint either. I can't deal with the troubles that will cause disasters due to heavy rain. I just know that in the next few days, the fortifications of the Shuzhou Army will be useless."

Yu Jiuling paused for a moment and added another sentence.

"I can only be a saint when it is not my business."

Li Chi glanced at Yu Jiuling and nodded: "Ninety-nine percent is like this."

Li Chi asked: "What about the remaining people? What are they like?"

Li Chi said: "The remaining few people are either related to my business or not, I am not a saint, or I can be a saint, no matter whether it is related to my business or not."

Yu Jiuling thought this sentence was really confusing, but it was not difficult to understand.

He asked Li Chi: "Is the former more or the latter more?"

Li Chi did not answer.

Yu Jiuling knew why Li Chi didn't answer. If there were more of the latter, he could answer.

"Jiu Mei, if it rains for another two days, you will take people to the foot of Meishan Mountain and shout, saying that if they are willing to surrender, the Ning army's camp can open it for them and give them a hot meal."

After hearing this, Yu Jiuling couldn't help but be stunned. With his thinking, he thought that this could be used by the enemy.

If the enemy pretends to surrender and take the opportunity to raid, there may be a big mess.

"It's okay."

Li Chi saw Yu Jiuling's concerns, so he smiled faintly: "They will not surrender."

Yu Jiuling asked: "Since you, who are in charge, know that they will not surrender, why do you still ask me to speak out?"

After a moment of silence, Li Chi replied: "Because I have to be a benevolent monarch."

Yu Jiuling was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I understand."

The rain not only lasted for two more days, but also lasted for four more days, and it added up to eleven days before it stopped.

The rain in the first seven or eight days has always been quite good, and although the days in the next few days have been a little light, of course this is not an improvement.

As expected, there was indeed a problem with the fortifications of the Shuzhou Army on Meishan.

Around the mountain, landslides appeared in places, and the water that could not be stored in the trenches overflowed, rushing through the earth walls, causing a larger area of ​​collapse.

Under such circumstances, the morale of the Shuzhou army was so sluggish that it was possible that only one cause would be needed to mutiny.

At this moment, Yu Jiuling appeared with someone.

He and his men shouted loudly under the hillside, telling the soldiers of Shuzhou soldiers on the mountain that King Ning was willing to accept them.

But Li Chi's judgment was not wrong. No one would really come down the mountain. Even if this sounds like an opportunity, Pei Jinglun would never take advantage of this opportunity.

Because Pei Jinglun knew very well that this opportunity was too obvious. He could have thought that King Ning Li Chi was an idiot?

The next day, Yu Jiuling came and shouted tirelessly. Although the words were just for the Shuzhou Army, it was like someone scratching his heart one after another, making people itchy.

A hot meal.

Yes... it has been siege for more than eleven months, and the three words "hot rice" are very attractive to them.

On the high slope, Li Chi stood there and looked calm, and seemed not surprised or disappointed that the people without Shuzhou Army came down the mountain.

Xiahou Zhuo smiled and said, "Tomorrow, someone will send you to the mountain to steam the cooked food."

Li Chi raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Xiahou Zhuo immediately said, "I am not a bug in your belly, nor have I guessed what you are thinking. You don't have to praise me, just shut your mouth."

Li Chi nodded, and indeed closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Xiahou Zhuo waited for a while and asked, "I really don't speak?"

Li Chi glared at him.

Xiahou Zhuo: "What do you mean by glaring at me?"

Li Chiwei said angrily: "If you want me to speak, you will untie your orders. You will make me shut up!"

Xiahou Zhuo: "Didn't you say this..."

Li Chi said: "You go do this tomorrow."

Xiahou Zhuo: "The reason why I mentioned it is of course that I want to take the initiative to do this."

Li Chi said: "If you want to say that in order to give the enemy greater temptation and to demonstrate our stronger strength, the meals prepared at the foot of the mountain must be rich and there must be big fish and meat... Then just shut your mouth."

Xiahou Zhuo: "..."

Li Chi said: "Look, I am the bug in your belly."

Xiahou Zhuo: "Then I won't go."

Li Chi laughed out loud.

Yu Jiuling happened to come back from the front. When he heard Xiahou Zhuo say that I won’t go, he immediately asked: “Where is the general going? Where are you not going?”

Xiahou Zhuo said: "Ask you in charge."
