Water Margin: You dog official, you still say you don’t know martial arts?

Chapter 303 Yue Fei: Loyalty to the Emperor or Patriotism, Which One Should I Choose? [2 more]

"Killing a good person to claim credit?"

"The government troops are really dogs!"

"If it weren't for Zhou Tong, the government troops wouldn't have come!"

"That's right, it's all Zhou Tong's fault!"

"But now that things have come to this, what else can we do?"

"Yes, we have no way out..."

After learning the truth, the people of Qilin Village started talking about it at once, saying all kinds of things.

They were so hot-blooded that they besieged the government troops. Now that the heat has worn off, some people are regretting it...

And since the incident was caused by Zhou Tong, everyone pointed the finger at Zhou Tong!
The village head came over on behalf of all the villagers and asked Zhou Tong:

"Mr. Zhou, now that things have come to this, what should we do?"

Zhou Tong was in a complicated mood.

He advocated resistance against the Liao Dynasty, but was unsuccessful in his official career, so he concentrated on martial arts.

He once harbored resentment towards the imperial court because of his frustration, but he never thought of becoming an enemy of the imperial court!
Learn martial arts and become an emperor!
This is what he thought, what he did, and what he taught his disciples!

But the result was that his integrity was not preserved...

He was so old, yet he actually killed government troops!
But Zhou Tong did not regret it, because everyone he killed deserved to die!
However, it has implicated the people of Qilin Village...

He was speechless at what the head of the village said.

He was also very excited at that time, and hadn't thought about what to do next...

Now that he has calmed down, he realizes that he has embarked on a path of no return!

The problem is, we have no choice but to leave!
If we don’t leave, Qilin Village will be a dead end!
The government troops didn't give Qilin Village any choice at all!

Zhou Tong sighed and subconsciously looked at his adopted son.

Yue Fei solemnly told his mother-in-law:
"Mothers often teach their children to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic!
“But my elder brother told me that loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are not the same thing!

“A lot of times it’s contradictory!”

"nonsense!"

My mother-in-law's face darkened:
"How can loyalty to the emperor and patriotism not be the same thing?"

"I originally thought that what Big Brother said was wrong!"

Yue Fei sighed:

“But my mother also experienced what happened tonight!

“What is a country?

"It's not the Song Dynasty, it's not the vast mountains and rivers, it's the people of the world!

"Without the people of the world, the vast land would be nothing but a vast expanse of white land!
"Without the people of the world, the Song Dynasty is nothing but a castle in the air!

“But tonight, the government troops representing the Song Dynasty are slaughtering civilians!

"The massacre of civilians was not because they were guilty, but because they wanted to kill innocent people and take credit for themselves!
"If I want to be loyal to the king, I can only watch the people die!

"If my son wants to be patriotic, he can only rise up and fight against the government troops!

"When loyalty to the emperor and patriotism conflict—

"May I ask mother, what choice should my child make?"

"This……"

My mother-in-law's expression kept changing.

She knew Yue Fei was right, but which mother doesn't want her son to become successful?

If there was even a glimmer of hope, which mother in the world would want her son to become a traitor?

"My elder brother also told me -

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Yao, Shun and Yu passed on the throne.

“The Xia and Shang dynasties and the Western and Eastern Zhou dynasties are divided into two periods.

“The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the unification of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

"The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu, and the two Jin dynasties extended forward and backward.

“The Northern and Southern Dynasties are parallel, and the Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties are passed down.

“The general trend of the world is that after a long period of unity, there will be division, and after a long period of division, there will be unity.

"The Song Dynasty is just one of them, and it will be replaced by a new dynasty sooner or later!

"The most important thing is the people of the world!"

Yue Fei was born smart. He met Liu Gao at a rebellious age and accepted advanced ideas that were not available in this era. At this time, Yue Fei's eyes were extremely firm and his voice was sonorous and powerful:
"Mencius said, the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important!

“So when loyalty to the emperor and patriotism conflicted, I chose patriotism!
"My son values ​​the people above all else. I hope my mother will forgive me!"

"My son..."

Mother-in-law hugged Yue Fei in her arms, tears welling up in her eyes and wetting her face.

She raised her son alone, so in her heart, Yue Fei was always an ignorant child. It was not that she was so arbitrary, but what she thought was what all mothers of this era thought...

But at this moment she suddenly realized that her son had grown up!
His vision is even higher than hers!

Although my mother-in-law is stubborn, she is not someone who does not know right from wrong.

So at this moment the mother and son reconciled.

My mother-in-law also reconciled with her obsession. If she couldn't be made a marquis or a general, then she wouldn't be made a marquis or a general...

As long as my son doesn't grow crooked...

Zhou Tong heard all the conversation between Yue Fei and his mother.

He was also shocked that his disciples had such ideas.

You know, his disciple is only thirteen years old, what kind of influence...

Oh, yes, it’s Xiao Xuande!
So when the village head asked again, Zhou Tong asked Yue Fei:
"Son, how do you think we should go?"

Yue Fei was startled: "Dad, what did you say?"

"We in Qilin Village killed the government troops. If we don't make plans early, we will all die when the imperial army arrives!"

Zhou Tong sighed:

"What do you think our future path should be?"

"Daddy, what do you say?"

Yue Fei couldn't believe his ears:

Such a big thing, and you ask a thirteen-year-old kid?

Zhou Tong nodded:

"You said."

The people of Qilin Village looked at each other in bewilderment.

If Zhou Tong spoke, they would all be willing to listen.

Because Zhou Tong is a man of both civil and military talents, and is highly respected!
But Yue Fei doesn't even have any hair on his lips, so what brilliant ideas could he have?
"What does a kid like him know?"

"Mr. Zhou has no other choice..."

"Alas! We have nowhere to go..."

"If it doesn't work, why not hand them over to..."

Just when everyone was panicking and discussing, Yue Fei stood up and analyzed calmly:

“We have killed the government troops!
"According to the king's law, everyone in our village must die. There is no chance of survival!

“But every one of us is innocent!
“We don’t want to die, and no one can make us die!

"Not even the imperial court!"

"Correct!"

"What the old Yue family kid said is absolutely right!"

"We haven't done anything wrong. Even the imperial court can't just kill so many of us, right?"

"But what else can we do?"

"Stop talking and listen to the old Yue family kid!"

"cough!"

Yue Fei coughed lightly.

The voice of the young phoenix is ​​clearer than that of the old phoenix. The people in Qilin Village couldn't help but quiet down and listen to what Yue Fei said.

"The imperial army will not listen to our reasoning, and we cannot fight against them!"

Yue Fei spoke calmly and eloquently:

"So we just have to go!"

Wang Gui next to him accidentally made a joke:
"Brother, where are we going?"

"Liangshanpo!"

Yue Fei said confidently:

"Liangshan Lake is only four or five hundred miles away from us!

"We split up into small groups and rushed to Liangshan Lake overnight!
"To be honest, the leader of Liangshanpo, Lin Chong, is my father's second disciple!
"If we go to Liangshanpo, they will definitely accept us!"

Someone from Qilin Village interrupted:

"I heard that Liangshanpo has been wiped out twice by the imperial army..."

No matter how hard it is, don’t tear it apart!

Yue Fei was also drunk:

"The last two times the village chief wasn't my second brother, I promise there won't be a third time!
"Perhaps you have a better place to go?"

The man remained silent, so Zhou Tong made the final decision on the matter:
"Okay, let's go to Liangshanpo!"
