"My meeting with eldest brother and third brother..."
"All brothers in the room please step aside first."
Xu Xing glanced at the generals in the room, remembered it secretly, and then spoke.
He seemed not to have written down the more than twenty people who had just escaped from the northwest corner of the house. In fact, he had a list of the generals who came to conspire today.
A list provided by Jie Buyan and others.
The people around Yao Dang have long been like a sieve. Half of the ten people are his.
An indecisive leader….
It is bound to be gradually abandoned by others.
As for Xie Buyan's surrender, it was beyond his expectation. However, whether or not Xie Buyan was there did not affect the overall situation. He didn't care much.
"Xu Xing?"
"Who do you think you are? I want to obey you? Listen to you?"
A die-hard fan of Yao Dang pulled out the steel knife he carried with him and roared angrily.
The rest also drew their swords one after another.
In an instant, the atmosphere inside and outside the door became tense.
"Back off..."
"You all stand down!"
"My third brother and my fourth brother will discuss it in person."
Yao Dang sat slumped on the tiger leather chair. He rubbed his sore eyebrows and then waved his hands to signal everyone in the audience to leave.
If they really wanted to fight, there would be less than ten people on his side, and they would definitely end up dead.
When King Mourning Heaven spoke, the remaining generals of the rebel army lamented, put down their weapons one after another, and were escorted off the field by the Xu family's guard camp, holding their necks.
Shaoqing, there are only three heavenly kings left in the house: King of Mourn, King of Kun, and King of Xing.
There are also... more than a dozen personal guards that Xu Xing brought with him.
As for outside the house, there is a dense forest of Xu family camp.
"Fourth brother..."
"Whatever you want to say, just say it."
Yao looked ashen in front of him.
Before the mutiny started, their side had already leaked out and was surrounded by people. What he was sad about was not that he was defeated, but that he was trapped to death by Xu Xing before he even took the first step.
This made him feel deeply frustrated.
Several cases.
A pot of green plum wine.
A small heater.
The three brothers divided their cases and started drinking.
Yao Dang sat in the middle of the front seat, Chang Kun sat on the left, and Xu Xing sat on the right.
"Brother..."
"Among the many anti-kings in the world today, who do you think is the hero?"
Xu Xing raised his wine cup and asked.
He was carrying a sword on his body, and his outer robe was covered with a piece of chain mail. Yao Dang and Chang Kun were both stripped of their armor and weapons, so he didn't need to worry about them suddenly rising up and surrounding him.
In addition, he was protected by more than a dozen personal guards, which was enough to buy him time to escape outside the house.
"Shang Monk has many soldiers and generals, and is powerful. Do you think he is a hero?"
Yao Dang didn't know what Xu Xing was trying to do, but since he was under the roof, he had to cooperate with Xu Xing's words.
He said that Monk Shang was a hero, but he just said it casually.
In his heart, he didn't agree that Shang Monk was a hero.
If Monk Shang is really a hero, how could Gong Yangyi, his first counselor, take refuge in him...
No, it was not him who should have taken refuge, but King Xingtian.
If Gong Yangyi had truly taken refuge in him, he would not be so passive today.
Thinking of this, Mourning King Yao Dang felt even more sad in his heart.
"Monk Shang seems to be a hero, but he is unable to hold back, is vain, has no sense of measure, and has no sense of loyalty... He cannot be a hero, he is just a withered bone in the grave."
Xu Xing smiled and drank a glass of green plum wine.
Seeing that Monk Xiaoshang was not a hero, King Mou Tian and King Kun laughed loudly upon hearing this, and each drank a glass of wine.
Although Monk Shang is not their mortal enemy in Siming Mountain, Monk Shang's reputation has been weighing on the heads of the rebel kings for a long time. At this moment, they are ridiculing Monk Shang for not being a hero, and they are not proud of it.
Discussing heroes while cooking green plum wine.
The topic has been opened.
"I see, then Meng Jiong is considered a hero."
"Although he was tricked by us, he is kind-hearted and resourceful. I heard that Meng Jiong fled to Lingnan Road recently and is doing well..."
Chang Kun, the king of Kuntian, gave an example.
"It doesn't count, it doesn't count..."
"Meng Jiong seems to have a strategy, but in fact he is a coward."
Yao Dang waved his hand.
One by one, everyone talked about the heroes of the world.
Gulu gulu...
The wine was thoroughly heated by the stove.
"Do these anti-kings in the world have a chance to overthrow the imperial court and avenge my eldest brother's blood?"
Xu Xing changed the topic.
Yao Dang's face was as cold as ice at first, and then he fell into deep thought.
Chang Kun lowered his head and said nothing.
The reason why he cooperated with Xu Xing today was not because he and Xu Xing were better friends. If he really had to choose a side, he would definitely choose to kill Xu Xing.
It's just that... Yao Dang leaked his secrets during the military incident. If his fourth brother Xu Xing was not lenient, Yao Dang would not get a good end.
"Okay..."
"I am willing to avenge my eldest brother."
"If the eldest brother doesn't want to believe the younger brother, then the eldest brother can take his own rebel army and go south again."
"Okay...I would like to take into account the brotherly loyalty."
Xu Xing took a step back and said with emotion.
As soon as these words came out, Yao Dang was caught off guard.
King Xingtian actually ignored the past grievances and decided to allocate troops to him and let him go elsewhere?
Is there such a good thing?
"The Kansai Road is barren, with many people and little food..."
"My eldest brother left voluntarily to reduce the pressure on Kansai Road."
Xu Xing makes another guarantee.
Although the gentry donated a lot of food to the rebels, the Kansai Province had been suffering from drought for several years and there had been no income. The food reserves alone could only last for half a year at most. If the rebels had fewer people, the food crisis in the Kansai Province could indeed be alleviated.
It's just..., that being said, he didn't think Yao Dang would leave the Kansai Road.
Yao Dang has an indecisive character and is worried about his reputation...
Once he leaves, others will laugh at him as a lost dog and be kicked out. Yao Dang's temperament is unbearable for such a reputation. And beyond the Kansai Road, where can Yao Dang go?
When leaving Hukou Waterfall, under his plan, Yao Dang offended Monk Shang.
I can’t go back to Siming Mountain!
"Fourth brother, why did you deceive me..."
"Just say what you have to say."
Yao Dang showed bitterness, poured himself a glass of water and wine, and drank from it.
"good!"
"Between brothers, let's not talk nonsense."
Xu Xing nodded, "I, Xu Xing, do not show loyalty and secretly seize power. But in troubled times, if Xu Xing had not acted like this, and when the sword came... it would have been too late to regret it."
"When he escaped from the prison, Xu Xing thought that his fate would no longer be decided by others."
"Having a sword in your hand and not having a sword in your hand are two different things!"
As soon as these words came out, Yao Dang, the king of mourning heaven, and Chang Kun, the king of Kun heaven, nodded secretly.
If you go out and only care about loyalty, you will be betrayed sooner or later.
Did they really swore sworn vows with Xu Xing because they thought Xu Xingyi and Bo Yuntian were a good friend? No, Xu Xing's emphasis on "righteousness" was just an important factor in their sworn sworn relationship with Xu Xing. The fundamental reason was also because
Xu Xing is a man of great talent, and they are also willing to sworn sworn sworn friends with Xu Xing and tie him up with the word of righteousness...
Unexpectedly, stealing the chicken failed but lost the rice, and they were ignored by Xu Xing.
"Brother, give up your power and stand aside from me."
"I won't treat you badly either..."
"Wealth, land and houses, everything you need. When the imperial court is conquered, the eldest brother will be the founding prince, and his title will be with the country. As for the third brother, if you are willing to lead troops, you can lead them. If you are not willing, you can live with the eldest brother in retirement..."
Xu Xing said bluntly.
If given the chance, he would be willing to do something decent.
