Chapter 282: There Are Mountains Beyond Mountains

Fenggao City had begun fasting two days ago, as Liu Bei felt that since it was a sacrifice, fasting was appropriate. To ensure respect for the deceased, Liu Bei directly ordered the entire city to fast. Everyone capable of burning incense was to pray three days in advance, and after three days, proceed to offer sacrifices to those who had fallen in battle.

Zhuge Liang, dressed in white, knelt in his room and performed the incense burning and prayers indifferently. He had no complaints about the orders issued by Liu Bei, but rather deeply appreciated Liu Bei's benevolence. Having come to Fenggao and temporarily staying under Liu Bei's rule, it was only right to follow Liu Bei's commands. Moreover, it was fitting to sacrifice for the soldiers who had died in battle.
