45. Deep Brotherly Love (Please Read It Later)

"Blood feud!"

Hearing this, Yao Dang looked a little ugly, gritted his teeth, and couldn't help but clenched the handle of the chair with his right hand.

The chair is made of rosewood, which is valuable and sturdy.

However, after he became angry, the hand turned into tiny sawdust between his fingers in an instant, scattering like snowflakes on the floor of Juyi Hall.

"Brother!"

King Wei Tian on the right seat saw this and quickly advised him.

"Need not……"

"I know what's appropriate."

Yao Dang sighed and waved his hand to King Wei Tian, ​​indicating that he was fine.

He looked at King Kun Tian and praised: "The third brother can see clearly. Brother Yu almost made a mistake. By luring Xu Xing and Chang Ji into Siming Mountain, we will certainly be able to suppress the local snakes, but without them, there is no great cause." , talk about seeking blood revenge from the imperial court, now is not the time to be careless. "

No one is born ambitious.

If it weren't for the immorality of the imperial court, which forced everyone up and down the Snow Mountain to death, why would he have raised an army to resist the imperial court and become one of the Eighteen Routes of Rebellious Kings?

Rather than having unrealistic dreams of being lonely, Taoist and widowed, he was more willing to let the court pay with blood.

"also……"

Yao Dang paused, "I heard that Xu Xing is very loyal?"

Of course he knew what happened between Xu Xing and Chang Ji in the Tianlao. For Chang Ji, a friend, Xu Xing was willing not to leave the Tianlao. When he spoke at this moment, he asked King Kun Tian what he thought of Xu Xing's character.

Yao Dang believed King Kun's words more than the rumors.

"this……"

King Kuntian was speechless.

Although he believed in his heart that Xu Xing was a loyal person, he was not completely sure that Xu Xing was a loyal person. Facing his respected elder brother, he could not slip up and lie.

"A person who can write such anti-poetry..."

"Brother, I don't think he is a duplicitous person."

King Kuntian shook his head and said seriously.

"good!"

"Third brother!"

"Brother... I believe you!"

Yao Dang smiled and patted King Kun Tian on the shoulder, "Since he wants the fourth head of the family, eldest brother should give it to him. Siming Mountain is not eldest brother's private property. Those who are capable will take over."

…

night.

There are few stars at night.

Around the second watch.

Xu Xing and Chang Ji, led by Lu Xiaohou and others, came to the Juyi Hall in Siming Mountain. They had just walked halfway when they saw a crowd of people near the Juyi Hall.

The villagers each held a torch and illuminated half of Siming Mountain.

When the two of them approached, the villagers separated into a wide road.

Taking advantage of this wide road, Xu Xing finally met the rumored King Mou Tianwang and King Wei Tian. Among the three heavenly kings of Siming Mountain, except for the king of mourning who looks like a member of a wealthy family, the other two heavenly kings look a bit reckless.

Walk to the three heavenly kings.

He could see more clearly.

A piece of fragrant eucalyptus was placed next to the open space about thirty steps in front of the Juyi Hall.

On the eucalyptus were placed three animals, an incense burner, a live chicken, a jar of wine, and a thin book.

The three words "Jinlan Book" are written on the cover of the thin book.

Seeing this, Xu Xing felt at ease.

"Mr. Xu..."

"Or fourth brother."

Yao Dang held a handful of lit incense in his hand, bowed to the incense burner three times, inserted it into the ashes, then half turned around, carefully studying Xu Xing's appearance and every move.

After a while, he spoke, "The third brother recognizes you as a brother and worships you. Logically speaking, you can also be regarded as the fourth brother of me and the second brother. The subordinates have been preparing for such a long time in the remote village. I just collected enough things for sworn worship..."

"As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be broken. Today, you and the three of us will sworn vows again."

"From now on, we will be brothers together!"

He motioned to the ghost beside him and handed him the dagger.

Next.

He first cut off the rooster's neck with a dagger, and blood splashed into the wine bowl.

immediately.

He wiped his palm with the knife again.

Red blood dripped into the wine bowl.

King Weitian and King Kun also took the dagger and repeated the movements of Yaodang, the king of mourning.

Xu Xing didn't hesitate at all, and quickly followed the above steps, wiped his palms, and began to drink blood wine with Yao Dang and the three of them, making an alliance in blood.

At this point, there is no point in further hesitation.

The four of them then began to recite the oath together.

"The four of us sworn sworn vows here today. The emperor and heaven are above, and the thick soil is the witness..."

"...brotherhood, trusting each other in life and death, rescuing each other in good and bad times, relying on each other in blessings and misfortunes, relying on each other in adversity..."

Read the oath one by one.

"This is the fourth highest ranking in Siming Mountain."

"from now on……"

"It's yours, fourth brother."

Yao Dang ordered people to remove the eucalyptus and other items, then took Xu Xing's right arm into the Juyi Hall, pointed to the fourth chair on the main seat, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, brother."

Xu Xing quickly thanked him.

…

Next.

It is the meeting ceremony for the major leaders in Siming Village.

There are twelve rows of flags in Siming Village, and each row has five hundred soldiers. In addition to the twelve rows of flags, there are also the Heavenly Deaf and Earthly Mute Army directly under the mourning king Yao Dang.

There are a thousand people in this army, all of whom are elite soldiers.

Of course, Siming Mountain Village also has the nature of a green forest. In addition to the army, there is also a Five Tiger Hall.

There are five tiger envoys in the Wuhu Hall, green forest heroes who control Jiangnan West Road.

Gui Yishou is one of the Five Tiger Envoys.

"I'm giving two flags to you, fourth brother..."

"In addition, I will send a ghost to follow you."

Yao Dang began to assign his subordinates to Xu Xing, and he was not stingy at all.

"Brother."

"I'm new here and I'm not familiar with military affairs."

Xu Xing directly rejected Yao Dang's proposal.

He was not a short-sighted person.

Even if Yao Dang, the Heavenly King, really meant well and accepted these troops. But would these troops really obey his orders? I'm afraid he was only a general in name only.

And it's not a good thing to take charge of the army right away, and it will surely cause jealousy.

In this way..., it seems that he has become the fourth Heavenly King, but in fact he has become a lonely man in Siming Mountain and can't move an inch.

Rebellion and power struggle, in the final analysis, is to make fewer enemies and more friends.

In addition, all the fancy things are traps.

"This..."

Yao Dang frowned, as if he was unhappy.

"Fourth brother..."

"Listen to my eldest brother!"

Wei Tianwang looked serious and forced Xu Xing.

"Yes, fourth brother, the eldest brother is doing this for your own good."

"The three of us all have subordinates, except you..."

Although Kun Tianwang did not understand what Dao Tianwang Yao Dang meant, he felt that the eldest brother was loyal enough, and wanted Xu Xing to accept the "gift" from Dao Tianwang Yao Dang.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother..."

Xu Xing took a deep breath and said, "Big brother, take care of the brothers, the fourth brother understands, but I have never led troops. If I were to lead the troops, it would be a loss for the lives of the brothers. This matter must not be mentioned. What I am good at is managing internal affairs and transporting food and grass..."

He took a step back.

The three Tianwangs remained silent.

Xu Xing glanced at the expressions of the people in the hall and continued, "Chang Ji is a fifth-rank Dingyuan general. Big brother, you can let General Chang lead the troops..."

He pushed the power of commanding troops to Chang Ji.
