Chapter 75: Pride is what the Chinese cannot lose
After Butterfly Valley, Mu Feiqing was the headlines that major wind media have scrambled to report for a long time, but in the past two days, the popularity brought by that matter suddenly disappeared, and the replacement of Yang Zhiqun's marriage to the princess for peace.
Mu Feiqing was very angry. Of course, it was not his headline robbery, but Yang Zhiqun's proposal. When he saw this news for the first time, he couldn't help but curse.
Since the founding of Taizu, there have been only Tang people who were beaten to death and Tang people who kneeled down to seek peace. For hundreds of years, there has never been a precedent for marriage. Even if princesses from other countries want to marry in, they will only be rejected.
Even decades ago, when the late emperor was there, he was besieged by several countries and the late emperor was killed in battle. No one had ever proposed the opinion of cede land and paying compensation or martyrdom.
Mu Feiqing did not expect that the Tang Kingdom is not as prosperous as it is, and it is still pretty good. Because of a defeat in a war, there were important officials of the court and the literary masters who proposed to marry each other to seek peace.
This Yang Zhiqun is a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy. Although his official position is not very high, he is very famous among the scholars and has been responsible for several scientific examinations. Although he is not a great scholar, he is also the pillar of the Tang Dynasty's literary world.
Not only did he not show the backbone of a scholar, but he also wanted to soften the bones of the Chinese people. After this incident came out, it was a hot topic in the Tang Dynasty.
This is why Mu Feiqing was very unhappy. He had just been defeated on the front line. As the pillar of the literary world, it would be fine if he did not stand up as a spiritual pillar. Instead, he also hit the enthusiasm of the Chinese people and the passion of the front line soldiers. Such people are tantamount to being a traitor.
Moreover, no matter how proud the country was, it was always impossible to lack some cords, but he didn't dare to show up on weekdays. However, with Yang Zhiqun leading the way, a large number of backboneless people appeared in the Tang Kingdom to support it.
This is a fatal blow to the confidence of the Chinese people!
So, when he just heard Mu Chong showing off his name outside, he was angry, but after he figured out the incident, he was no longer angry and proud. I, Mu, have no cowards, even a playboy who is not good at martial arts.
So, he stood up and supported Mu Chong strongly, without any tactfulness at all, and directly hit the topic. He knew his identity and did not mind spreading it at all, so that everyone in the world could see the attitude of Mu.
…………
"Well said!"
"Young Master Feiqing is mighty!"
Outside the restaurant, there was a burst of cheers. After all, the cartilage was the minority, and the proud Tang people were the main stream of Tang!
The middle-aged swordsman of the Yang family looked pale. Facing Mu Feiqing, he could not show any arrogance. Not to mention the reputation of the supreme master of Prince Feiqing, the identity of the head of the Mu family of Prince Feiqing could make him breathless.
"Master Mu Family," said the middle-aged swordsman, "I know you are a proud person and a typical representative of our Tang people. However, you are just a man from the martial arts world after all, and you don't understand the situation in the court or politics. My master is not what you think. He is not afraid. He does this for the sake of the overall situation and for our Tang Kingdom!"
Mu Feiqing gently patted the folding fan, turned his head to look at Mu Chong, and asked, "How is your martial arts?"
"Ah?" Mu Chong didn't expect Mu Feiqing to ask this. He was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "Third brother, I... I'm not good at it, I'm just the second level after tomorrow!"
"Well," Mu Feiqing nodded and said, "Now the front line has suffered a defeat. If I ask you to join the army and support the front line, are you afraid?"
"Fear!" Mu Chong said loudly: "But I will go, I am afraid of death, but I am even more afraid that our Tang Kingdom will be bullied by the barbarians of the Xiongnu!"
Mu Feiqing nodded, looked at the middle-aged swordsman again, and said, "Did you hear this? This is a wasteful person. In our Tang Kingdom, there are few more wasteful persons than him, and there are even more timid people than him. However, even he knows that the pride of the Chinese people cannot be humiliated. The Tang people can only die while standing and not live on their knees!"
Mu Chong: “…”
Can you stop saying me so badly?
For example, why do you want to talk about me?
…………
Mu Feiqing is just a man from the martial arts world. In the face of national affairs, he is just an ordinary Chinese. He will not consider any political factors or the situation in the court. He only knows that as a Tang Dynasty man, pride cannot be lost!
If he can drive cohesion because of the Chinese people when their confidence is low, this is the greatest achievement. If necessary, he can even go to the front line. However, he does not allow his country to be a country that only kneels down to survive when facing powerful enemies.
"Well said," the shopkeeper of the restaurant outside the inn shouted and walked in and said, "The bullshit situation, what is the situation? The situation is that we, Tangren, can lose, but we must not kneel down. The champion Hou is still at the border, so we will not lose."
"Yes," an old man leaned on a crutch and shouted: "Yang Zhiqun is really a bastard. What do he want to do? Is it still the Tang Kingdom that he was protected by a relative? Can the Tang people still stand up?"
A young man said seriously: "Don't think we don't know what Yang Zhiqun wants to say. Did he want to say that this is a stopgap trick to paralyze the Huns? Bullshit, we Tang people don't need such a victory that kneels out!"
"Bang..."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd threw out a rotten egg and hit the young girl's head.
"Kill these dogs from the Yang family to death!"
"Bare them to death!"
In an instant, many rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes and cabbage flew out somewhere, all of which greeted the middle-aged swordsman and his group.
"Okay, you'll beat him to death!"
Mu Chong was so excited that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush over, but was stopped by Mu Feiqing.
"Fight, kill these dogs!"
"San brother, don't stop me... Hey, why are you letting go, third brother?"
"Aren't you going to fight? I'll let you go!"
"Just make a joke, third brother, please continue!"
Mu Feiqing stood up, and suddenly, the outside of the restaurant became quiet. Everyone looked at Mu Feiqing, and the Yang family members also looked at Mu Feiqing.
Mu Feiqing paid attention to the young girl who was protected by the Yang family and said, "You... are hating me!"
The girl gritted her teeth and ignored the middle-aged swordsman's obstruction and said angrily: "Young Master Feiqing, I know you, you are the leader of the younger generation this year. I used to like you very much. I think you are the best person in the world, but today, I realized that you are just an ignorant person!"
"I wish to hear it carefully!" Mu Feiqing said.
"Your young man like you know what it means to serve the country and the people? Do you know what it means to endure humiliation? Do you know what it means to be peaceful in the world? You don't know anything, just rely on being self-righteous and just stir up the wind and rain. It's ridiculous and ridiculous!" The girl roared angrily.
Faced with the roar of the young man, Mu Feiqing slowly said: "I don't understand, but I know that we, the Tang people, do not marry each other, do not pay tribute, do not submit to the emperor, and do not cede land; the emperor guards the country's gates, and the king dies in the country!"
"I know that even if I die, I will not compromise. This is the Tang people. I know that no matter whether they win or lose, no matter what the consequences, the Tang people cannot lose is pride. If there is no pride, then it is not called the Tang people!"
Every word from Mu Feiqing was like a heavy hammer hitting the girl. No word forced her to take a step back and retreat to the corner of the wall, with a pale face and murmur:
"No, it's not like that. You're changing your concepts, you're talking nonsense..."
Mu Feiqing didn't pay much attention to it, slowly put on his mask, turned around and walked outside. When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped again, looked back at the middle-aged swordsman, and said, "First, leave thirty taels of silver to compensate the restaurant owner, second, leave an arm as an apology to my Mu family, and third, take your Yang family members away from Gusu."
Speaking of this, Mu Feiqing looked at the girl again and said, "You are Yang Zhiqun's daughter. If Yang Zhiqun really has a clear conscience, why should you come to Gusu to hide? If I guess correctly, you are back to find the bottom. Are the people from the Yang family ready to come back from the capital, right?"
After saying that, Mu Feiqing left directly. As soon as he walked to the street, he heard a muffled groan from the restaurant.
The middle-aged swordsman is still very decisive.
Knowing that Mu Feiqing spoke in Gusu, he could not tolerate him at all. Instead of hesitating to wait for Mu's revenge, he would not have left one arm in exchange for vitality.
…………
"Stern brother, third brother, wait for me!"
Seeing Mu Feiqing getting ready to get on the horse, Mu Chong followed out happily, rode a thief-sized dark horse, and said with a smile: "Third Brother, you are so majestic!"
Mu Feiqing looked at his horse, then at Mu Chong's BMW, and said, "You are more majestic than me!"
"No," Mu Chong hurriedly said, "Third Brother, don't look at me as majestic as I ride this horse. This is my father's. I rode it secretly. If my father finds out, I will definitely be scowled!"
"Then you dare to ride out?"
"Isn't this cool?"
"Are you going to be a wind or not?"
"Um!"
After hearing such a decisive answer, Mu Feiqing had nothing to say. He also knew Mu Chong's urinary nature. He was also a famous playboy in the Mu clan. When he was a child, Mu Feiqing saw him being chased by his father with a stick all over the yard every day.
"You often cheat outside under my banner?" Mu Feiqing asked.
"No," Mu Chong said, "It's the first time today."
"Is that true?" Mu Feiqing was a little disbelief.
"Really, King Ling came to see you a few days ago, but I met him. He told me that he told me that I would be outside in the future. As long as I call my brother Mu Feiqing, no one dares to touch me. This is the first time I tried it today, but it seems useless!" Mu Chong said.
Mu Feiqing: “…”
Mu Chong didn't notice Mu Feiqing's expression at all, and said to himself: "This is what His Highness Ling Wang told me about Yang Zhiqun. He said that Yang Zhiqun's son was captured by the Huns!"
"Huh?" Mu Feiqing was stunned and said, "So, he proposed to marry him? He is not that stupid. It is impossible for the court to agree to it."
"Yes, but he can save his son's life by showing kindness to the Huns like this!"
