The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 16 Thinking

After returning home, Guo Jing kept thinking about this question: If he were the ancestor, what would he do?
Obviously, with his simple brain, he couldn't figure out such a complicated problem.

Then he threw the question to Li Ping.

When Li Ping heard this question, he was stunned for a long time. If he were Guo Sheng, the ancestor of the Guo family, what would he do?

Her first thought was to run away and not join Liangshanpo. The end of Liangshanpo was too tragic and no one wanted to repeat the same mistake. As long as she didn't join Liangshanpo, she wouldn't be recruited and would not end up with a tragic end.

But Guo Sheng's mercury business went bankrupt and he couldn't even return to his hometown. He might have been wanted by the government.

In this case, without a clean identity, many jobs cannot be done. Is it necessary to find a mountain to become a bandit?
How does this work?
Li Ping was born into a peasant family. She was honest and hardworking and liked to live a down-to-earth life. She rejected this idea immediately.

Turn yourself in to the authorities?
She thought about it and denied it. Everyone knows how corrupt the government is. It would be a question whether she could come out alive if she went in. She didn't want to seek death.

But, neither this nor that works. What should I do?
Influenced by the Guo Xiaotian brothers, and the idea of ​​being loyal to the emperor and patriotic, Li Ping thought about a lot of things, but the last thing she thought about was rebellion. In her opinion, rebellion would result in death and should never be done.

After thinking for a long time, Li Ping still couldn't figure it out. Seeing Guo Jing's expectant eyes, she didn't know how to answer, so she could only comfort him, "Mother can't answer this question either. Go ask those masters. They know a lot and will definitely be able to answer it."

Guo Jing nodded obediently, then ran out to play.

Looking at Guo Jing's leaving back, Li Ping smiled with relief and thought of the question again in her mind: what should she do?
However, under the universal ideology, Li Ping was destined not to get an answer.

The common people are easy to deceive and coax. They just want to live a stable life and don't like to make trouble. Guo Sheng is wanted by the government, which means that his innocent identity has disappeared, but it is not impossible for him to survive.

Finding a place deep in the mountains and forests to hide in, living off the land and water, is not difficult for Guo Sheng, but few people are willing to do this unless it is absolutely necessary. Apart from this path, concealing one's identity and becoming an illegal resident is not an easy task.

At least, Li Ping didn't know how to do it, and with her limited knowledge, she couldn't get the answer.

……

late at night.

Guo Jing was practicing boxing on a small hill. Although he was young, he performed his boxing moves quite well.

After such a long period of instruction, Guo Jing's talent gradually became known to everyone. He understood very little of the clever maneuvers taught by Zhu Cong, Quan Jinfa and Han Xiaoying, but he followed the basic skills taught by Han Baoju and Nan Xiren one by one and actually mastered them very well.

However, these basic skills can only strengthen the body, after all, they are not the means to defeat the enemy.

Han Baoju saw this and joked, "Jing'er, you've trained like a camel. You're strong, but can a camel beat a leopard?"

After hearing this, Guo Jing said nothing but just lowered his head and smiled foolishly.

The Seven Freaks of Jiangnan taught him martial arts very attentively and gave him strict supervision, but Guo Jing was not a genius. Often, after being taught ten moves, he would not be able to learn even one, and he would inevitably feel discouraged for a while.

Guo Jing was practicing martial arts on the side, and they sat together to talk. Ke Zhen was very angry and wanted to prove that the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan were not inferior to the Quanzhen Qiu Chuji, but with Guo Jing's condition, it was unlikely. He shook his head and sighed, knowing that it was a one in a hundred chance to defeat the disciple taught by Qiu Chuji, but it was difficult to give up halfway because of the agreement.

Seeing that his eldest brother was in a bad mood, Quan Jinfa started to joke, "Qiu Chuji has only an 80% chance of finding Madam Yang, and we have already won 20% interest. Madam Yang may give birth to a daughter, and the chance of giving birth to a son is only 50%, so we have won another 40%. If it is a son, he may not be raised to adulthood, so we have won another 10%. Even if he is raised to adulthood, he may be as stupid as Jing'er. So, I say we have won 80% of the chances."

When the other people heard this, they thought it was a good idea. Everyone has a sense of luck, and Ke Zhenwu was a little comforted.

Fortunately, after such a long time, everyone has realized that Guo Jing has a kind personality and is extremely obedient. They admire his character and do not despise him.

Soon, Guo Jing finished practicing boxing and fell to the ground panting with exhaustion.

Han Xiaoying felt distressed and hurried forward, taking out a handkerchief from her bosom to wipe his sweat.

Suddenly, Zhu Cong thought of what happened yesterday and asked with a smile, "Guo Jing, what homework did your teacher give you today?"

On weekdays, Su Ming stayed at home and rarely went out, and he seldom met the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. They were always grateful for his help, and when they saw that he did not interfere in teaching Guo Jing martial arts, they admired him even more.

After all, these later masters were, in a sense, stealing someone's heart and were in the wrong. Their feelings towards Su Ming were getting better and better, but they had never found an opportunity to repay him.

After Zhu Cong asked this question, others also became interested and listened attentively.

Guo Jing pursed his lips and repeated the question Su Ming asked him.

Like Li Ping, they were also hearing such a question for the first time, and their brains were confused for a while. After a while, Nan Xiren, the most resourceful among them, spoke up, "What's so difficult about this question? If I were Guo Sheng, why would I join Liangshanpo? I would just find a place to occupy a mountain and live a closed-door life."

They all knew what happened to Liangshanpo after accepting the amnesty. They were poisoned and killed by the court despite their merits. In addition, the events of Wanyan Gou and Yue Fei made them not very fond of the Zhao Song Dynasty. Becoming a bandit was already a very restrained decision for them.

Zhu Cong immediately retorted, "Old Fourth, you are wrong. It is easy to occupy the mountain and become the king, but what if the government punishes you?"

Nan Xiren shook his head. "It's not that easy to deal with me. At worst, I can just fight and run away. Anyway, I will never surrender to the government. This court is not worth it."

The other people nodded when they heard this. It was indeed not worth it and it was very disheartening.

In the past few years, the small Southern Song Dynasty court has been submissive and servile to the Jin people, and has lost all its face. Anyone with a bit of backbone would be fed up with the court's actions, but there is nothing they can do about it.

Quan Jinfa touched his beam scale and said with a smile, "In my opinion, we should still go to Liangshanpo and find a chance to kill Song Jiang. We should not accept the imperial court's offer of amnesty. Then we can cooperate with Fang La and others in the south to overthrow the imperial court. This is better than being harmed by the Jin people."

He likes to calculate, and thinks that he will die anyway, so he might as well just do it. Since he has already rebelled, there is no point in seeking amnesty.

Since the imperial court cannot resist the Jin Kingdom, it is better to let them come.

Zhu Cong retorted, "Sixth Brother, this won't do. Rebellion is not that easy. If we rebel, the Jin army will march south and the Song Dynasty will be destroyed. Wouldn't we be making things easier for them?"
