Where Bai Chou Fei Would Go!
Once Wang Yue had made up his mind, he deliberately played it cool. "I came to pray for rain to benefit the people. You, however, have led them in rebellion. Though you may have had no other choice, this is ultimately no righteous path."
Song Jiang hadn't expected Wang Yue to see through him. Nor did Wang Yue seem to blame him. Song Jiang knew there was little future in rebellion, of course, but the people had no other way to survive.
They had been able to scrape by during these frequent droughts only because they relied on Liangshan Marsh. But now the court wanted to claim Liangshan Marsh for itself.
Whether they rebelled or not, they were doomed. Though he had taken advantage of the moment to defeat Tong Guan's tens of thousands of troops, he still knew they couldn't survive this way.
They had no way to hold a city against the enemy and could only live by looting. Sooner or later, they would lose the people's support, and that would be the end of them.
So he spoke with great sincerity. "We just defeated Tong Guan's army at the foot of Mount Tai, where they came to lay siege to the mountain. We have no way back now. I beg the immortal to show us a way to survive."
Wang Yue didn't answer Song Jiang. Instead, he looked at Bai Chou Fei. "Bai, what do you think?"
Bai Chou Fei immediately understood what Wang Yue meant. He was wanted now, so joining the rebel army really was his best option.
He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Wang Yue. "I could join the rebel army, but what about their food and supplies?"
Wang Yue glanced at Little Stone, then smiled.
