Zhou Yi complied readily, but Zhou Chong was very agitated, complaining, "In Luoyang, you were a scholar equal in fame to Zhao Changyu. Why are you now mingling with people like Wang Bin?"
Zhou Yi remained nonchalant.
Zhou Chong became even more upset and asked, "Must we save Wang Ying? Drinking and holding banquets during mourning, even killing officials, how dare such a person call himself a filial son? Although Liu Kui is a vile person, Wang Ying should not be saved."
Only then did Zhou Yi sigh, "Zhong Zhi, I'm not saving Wang Ying; I'm saving the Great King, saving us. Can't you see, Wang Dun is on the brink of rebellion due to the neglect of Mao Hong. If he does not come forth to preside over the situation, Jiangnan will descend into chaos even before Zhao Hanzhang crosses the river."
Zhou Chong halted in his tracks, furrowing his brow, "Could it be that Wang Dun dares to rebel?"
Zhou Yi: "In these times, what is impossible?"
