"Those treacherous villains are persecuting loyal and virtuous people everywhere,"

"It has long since enraged the people and made them resentful."

"Our rebellion is precisely in accordance with the will of the people,"

"Master Fang issued a call to action,"

"The world will surely be filled with followers,"

"How could the corrupt Song Dynasty possibly handle this!"

Fang La heard this,

He immediately burst into loud laughter.

"Great minds think alike now."

"The Song Dynasty was already on the verge of collapse."

"But the ruler and his ministers still only knew how to enjoy themselves."

"If our two families join forces,"

"In my opinion, it won't take more than a few years,"

"Then we will surely be able to overthrow the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Yuan asked in surprise,

"Didn't Master Fang say,"

"Did you also make appointments with Tian Hu from Hebei and Wang Qing from Huaixi?"

Fang La shook his head dismissively.

"The reason I chose Tokyo as the location for the summit,"

"I just wanted to see the courage of those around me,"

"We're going to do something earth-shattering in the future!"

"If one has no courage at all,"

"How could I possibly shoulder such a heavy responsibility!"

"I've already received the news,"

"When Tianhu and Wang Qing heard that they would meet in Tokyo,"

"They all made excuses and dared not come."

"They only sent a few minor leaders over."

"Such a scoundrel can only rob and steal."

"They'll never amount to anything!"

"But this is fine!"

"If they come,"

"On the contrary, it will ruin the reputation of my Ming Cult's Heroes' Gathering."

Deng Yuanjue nodded in agreement.

"The leader is right!"

"This heroes' gathering should be held in Tokyo,"

"If we went to that godforsaken place to do it,"

"Wouldn't this just turn into a gathering of rats?!"

Zhao Yuan and Fang La chatted for a while in the Xiangguo Temple.

It was almost time for dinner.

Fang La then warmly invited everyone to have a meal together.

Zhao Yuan had assumed the food and drink at the temple would consist of a few simple vegetarian dishes.

But when the food arrived,

But I found that it contained both chicken and fish.

I couldn't help but ask curiously,

"The Great Xiangguo Temple is now allowing vegetarian meals?"

Fang Baihua laughed.

"Brother Zhao, you'll know once you taste it."

Zhao Yuan heard this,

I looked at the chicken and fish.

It's similar to what I usually eat.

He couldn't help but wonder,

"Could this possibly be a vegetarian meal?"

Fang La explained with a smile,

"The chieftain is right."

"These are all fake fried fish and vegetarian steamed chicken,"

"They're all monks from this temple,"

"Vegetarian dishes made with beans."

"The vegetarian food at the Great Xiangguo Temple is quite famous throughout the land."

"Everyone, please try it!"

Zhang Shun heard Fang La say that

No more politeness,

He simply picked up a piece of chicken with his chopsticks.

Before I could even eat it,

He asked in surprise,

"It really does taste like chicken,"

"Could it be that these monks used real chickens to make this?"

Chapter 1517 Night Market

Zhao Yuan also picked up a piece and ate it.

"The texture is actually quite similar to chicken,"

"However, if you eat it carefully,"

"You can still detect a lot of tofu flavor in it."

Fang Baihua replied with a smile,

"That's right, these are mainly made with vegetarian ingredients such as tofu skin, gluten, dried bean curd sticks, and konjac."

"Ever since the trading of goods among the people began in front of Xiangguo Temple,"

"The monks in this temple don't care about Buddhism."

Instead, they started figuring out how to make money.

“This vegetarian meal is one of them,”

"I've heard that just in Tokyo alone..."

"These monks opened several shops specializing in vegetarian food."

"Business is pretty good."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan

I can't help but think of,

Many famous mountains, rivers, and temples in later generations,

There are dedicated vegetarian restaurants.

It turns out that starting from the Northern Song Dynasty,

That's how this kind of business exists.

This vegetarian meal

The food was pretty good for everyone.

After dinner,

Fang La then invited Zhao Yuan to chat for a while.

After Fang Baihua heard that Zhao Yuan and the others were now staying at Fanlou,

She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Zhao Yuan.

In front of everyone,

Zhao Yuan couldn't explain it either.

Look, the sun is setting in the west.

Zhao Yuan then got up to take his leave.

We need to return to Fanlou.

Fang La and the other members of the Ming Cult escorted Zhao Yuan and his group out of the courtyard.

Fang Baihua's heart stirred.

He said to his elder brother,

"Brother, I want to go to Zhouqiao to see the night market in Kaifeng,"

"It's perfect timing to go with Chief Zhao and the others."

"Be back before midnight,"

"May I?"

Fang La was nearly forty years old.

His younger sister, Fang Baihua, was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Although they are siblings,

The other party usually,

They all treated their younger sister like a daughter.

After listening to Fang Baihua's words,

Fang La thought for a moment,

"You can go, but Fang Jie can go with you."

Fang Baihua, however, wanted to spend time alone with Zhao Yuan.

Who would want to bring along someone who gets in the way?

He immediately refused.

"With Chief Zhao and the others around,"

"What else could happen?"

"What else is Fang Jie going to do?"

Fang Jie is the eldest grandson of Fang Hou, the uncle of Fang La and Fang Baihua.
