When Yao Dang heard this, his face turned ugly, he 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 instantly turned into tiny sawdust between his fingers, scattering like snowflakes on the floor of the Juyi Hall.
"Brother!"
Seeing this, King Weitian on the right seat quickly gave him advice.
"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 and praised: "The third brother can see clearly. Brother Yu almost made a mistake. By leading Xu Xing and Chang Ji into Siming Mountain, they 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 a careerist.
If it weren't for the fact that the imperial court was ruthless and forced everyone to die on the Snowy Mountains, why would he raise an army to resist the imperial court and become one of the Eighteen Routes of Rebellious Kings?
Rather than having unrealistic dreams like being lonely, Taoist and widowed, he was more willing to let the court pay with blood.
"also……"
Yao Dang paused and said, "I heard that Xu Xing is very loyal?"
Of course he knew what happened between Xu Xing and Chang Ji in the Heavenly Prison. For the sake of his friend Chang Ji, Xu Xing was willing not to leave the Heavenly Prison. When he spoke at this moment, he asked King Kun about his opinion of Xu Xing's character.
Yao Dang believed King Kun's words more than the rumors.
"this……"
King Kun Tian 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. He could not lie to his respected elder brother.
"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, arrived at the Juyi Hall in Siming Mountain. They had just walked halfway when they saw a crowd of people near the Juyi Hall.
Villagers each held a torch, lighting up 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 Mourning Heaven and King Wei Tian. Among the three kings of Siming Mountain, except King Mourning Heaven who looked like a member of a wealthy family, the other two kings looked a bit reckless.
.
Walk to the three heavenly kings.
He could see more clearly.
Next to the open space about thirty steps in front of the Juyi Hall, a piece of fragrant eucalyptus was placed.
Three animals, an incense burner, a live chicken, a jar of wine, and a thin book were placed on the eucalyptus.
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.
Shaoqing, 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 men in the cottage have been preparing for such a long time.
I just collected enough things for sworn worship..."
"As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be broken. Today, you and the three of us will be sworn in 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 actions of King Yaodang.
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 other three, making a blood alliance.
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..."
Just recite the oath one by one.
"This is the fourth highest spot 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 subordinates to Xu Xing, and he was not stingy at all.
"Brother."
"My little brother is new here and is not familiar with military affairs."
Xu Xing directly rejected Yao Dang's proposal.
He is not a short-sighted person.
Even if Yao Dang, the king of mourning, really meant well, he accepted these troops. But would these troops really listen to his orders? I'm afraid he was only a general in name.
Moreover, it is not a good thing to take charge of the army as soon as you come up, and you will definitely be jealous of others.
In this way..., it seemed that he had become the Fourth Heavenly King, but in fact he was truly alone in Siming Mountain, unable to move forward.
Rebellion and power struggle, in the final analysis, are about having fewer enemies and more friends.
Apart from that, all bells and whistles are traps.
"this……"
Yao Dang frowned, seemingly unhappy.
"Fourth brother..."
"Listen to big brother!"
King Weitian looked serious and forced Xu Xingdao.
"Yes, fourth brother, the eldest brother is doing this for your own good."
"The three of us all have subordinates, except you..."
Although King Kun didn't understand the meaning of Yao Dang's words, he felt that his elder brother was loyal enough and wanted to let Xu Xing accept the "gift" from King Yao Dang.
"Eldest brother, second brother, third brother..."
Xu Xing took a deep breath and said: "The eldest brother takes care of the brothers. The fourth brother understands, but I have never commanded the army. If you let me manage the army, it will harm the lives of the brothers. This matter must not be mentioned. I am good at it."
Those who manage internal affairs and transport grain and grass..."
He took a step back.
The three heavenly kings remained silent.
Xu Xing scanned the faces of everyone in the hall and continued: "Chang Ji is the fifth-grade Dingyuan General. My eldest brother can let General Chang command the troops..."
He delegated the power of commanding the troops to Chang Ji.
