Just the next day—
The news that the court was about to hold a ritual at the Luoshui River quickly spread from Luoyang.
As soon as the news was out, the nation was abuzz!
The people of the realm had been anticipating this for a very long time.
Many even saw this action as the sole method to quell the disaster.
Upon hearing that the court was finally taking action.
How could the people not be excited?
The impact of this event far exceeded everyone's expectations.
The public's fluctuating emotions settled down at an astonishing pace.
Even Zhuge Liang did not anticipate this outcome.
But precisely because of this... the pressure on his shoulders was growing heavier.
Zhuge Liang had no choice but to first secretly send back the locusts, conducting poison testing as proposed by Gu Yi.
At this moment, no carelessness could be allowed.
