After each reported their age to each other, the four people lined up from right to left according to age, and then they all knelt down on the ground, looked up at the moon, and raised their right palms.
"The sky serves as a warning, and the bright moon serves as proof. Today, I, Shi Xiaocao, and Wei Chen, Lin Bai, and Wu Yinyin have become brothers and sisters of the opposite sex. From now on, we will treat each other with sincerity. We don't seek eternal beauty, but we seek shared misfortunes and blessings in this life!"
Zhuo Mufeng looked serious and swore loudly.
After he finished speaking, Wei Chen took a deep breath and repeated Zhuo Mufeng's oath, followed by Lin Bai and Wu Yinyin. After the four of them swore, they said in unison: "If you violate this oath, I will be ordered to
Heaven and earth will not tolerate each other, the universe and the universe will be punished together, and there will be no place for death!"
Before this was over, Lin Bai untied the bamboo tube and dagger from his waist and handed them to Zhuo Mufeng through Wei Chen.
Zhuo Mufeng secretly curled his lips, thinking that it was really troublesome, but since they had sworn sworn friends, he couldn't be unwilling to do this, so he had to cut his finger with a dagger, let the blood drip into the water in the bamboo tube, and then passed the bamboo tube and dagger to
Wei Chen.
After all four people dropped the blood into the bamboo tube and took a sip one after another, Wu Yinyin threw the bamboo tube away boldly, and the four people stood up from the ground, all laughing.
"Brother!" Wei Chen, Lin Bai and Wu Yinyin saluted Zhuo Mufeng and said hello.
This guy was obviously only nineteen years old, but he didn't blush at all. He accepted the salutes of the three of them calmly and said with a smile: "Second brother, third brother, fourth sister, it's really a blessing from God that Brother Yu can marry you tonight.
Brother Yu is really happy with the blessing from the Heavenly Official."
After all, it was Wu Yinyin who proposed this sworn alliance, so Wei Chen and the other two people inevitably still had concerns. Now that they heard this, the remaining concerns in the hearts of the three of them were gone. Wei Chen laughed and said, "It's me who has surpassed me, eldest brother."
!”
"Eh! If my second brother dares to mention anything too high-minded, please be careful of big brother dealing with you." Zhuo Daguanren quickly stepped into the role and was already acting like the big brother.
"The second brother just needs to be taken care of. The eldest brother must keep a good watch on him from now on." Wu Yinyin said with a charming smile from the side, earning an angry glare from Wei Chen.
Lin Bai said quietly: "I think Fourth Sister is right."
Wei Chen wailed: "Okay, how dare you join forces to deal with the second brother."
Hearing what he said was interesting, the other three laughed again, and the atmosphere was so harmonious. After the ceremony just now, the four seemed to quickly recognize their relationship with each other.
After joking for a while, Zhuo Mufeng took the initiative to bring him back to the topic. After all, his power was at stake, and asked: "Fourth sister, is there any charter for forming the alliance you mentioned?"
Wu Yinyin hummed: "Those wandering cultivators, because my second brother is easy to bully, have taken our protection for granted. However, they have a large number of people, and if they all oppose it, things will be difficult to handle. I have thought about it,
You can win over a group of people first and divide them into groups."
Zhuo Mufeng stared at this beautiful woman intently. Everyone said that she has big breasts but no brains. This woman is definitely a different kind. She couldn't help but ask: "Who are you trying to win over? Do you have any specific goals?"
Wu Yinyin smiled confidently: "Brother, don't worry, I have sent people to keep an eye on them in secret these days. I have figured out the temperament of some people and can start with them."
From the other party's words, Zhuo Mufeng was keenly aware of something. This woman probably had never thought about driving away those wandering cultivators, otherwise there would be no need to put in so much effort.
From the beginning to the end, her real purpose was to build an alliance. Her intentions can be imagined, and she naturally used those people in turn to protect herself and others.
In fact, those dependents had very few trump cards and did not dare to fall out with Sanyizhuang. But they were afraid. They had a firm attitude and were unanimous in dealing with the outside world. With Wei Chen's character, he would definitely speak out.
In other words, Wu Yinyin did so much work essentially to block the way for those who were dependent to seek help.
But this is exactly what Zhuo Mufeng meant. If he really drives away those people, then he is still playing nonsense. What is the use of the name of the alliance leader?
Wei Chen just has a weak character, which does not mean he is a fool. Hearing this, his expression changed slightly.
Wu Yinyin always paid attention to him and said softly: "Second brother, please forgive me, I have to be prepared. In order to protect Sanyi Village and my brothers, I will do whatever it takes."
After opening his mouth, Wei Chen didn't say anything unpleasant. This fourth sister was always very scheming, but every time she did it to protect herself and Sanyizhuang, which made him not know how to face her.
Zhuo Mufeng looked at the two of them with a thoughtful expression.
Wu Yinyin was well prepared for the formation of the alliance. This woman had a resolute and resolute personality. That night, she took advantage of many people not paying attention and secretly met with several people she thought she could win over.
I don’t know what they talked about, but under Zhuo Mufeng’s careful observation, I found that since returning, those targets were sometimes entangled, sometimes excited, and finally calmed down, as if they had made some kind of decision.
In the next few days, sometimes at noon and sometimes late at night, Wu Yinyin secretly found several people again. Zhuo Mufeng and the other three asked her how the conversation went, and she always smiled, and it seemed that the effect was good.
On the fourth night, Wu Yinyin found Zhuo Mufeng and whispered: "Brother, those people have already agreed. Tonight is the time for the showdown."
Things are going very smoothly. Wu Yinyin has already deconstructed the composition of that group of people and has been recruiting them in a targeted way. Tonight's showdown is just a natural result. She believes that there will be no surprises. Shi Xiaocao only needs to cheer up.
That’s it.
Zhuo Mufeng nodded and didn't say much. What he thought in his mind was that he only needed 72 points of power pillar value to complete the Nine Rainbow Sword Art, and his strength would be greatly increased by then.
By the stream, the water flows silently, the moon shines brightly, and bonfires line up.
As usual, many of the people who took refuge were either doing exercises on the spot, chatting against the trees, or closing their eyes and falling asleep. Only a few people's eyes flickered, as if they were waiting for something.
The calm night was broken by an unusual sound of footsteps. Wu Yinyin, dressed in yellow, walked to the center of the crowd uncharacteristically. Yun Gongjiao shouted: "Heroes, please listen to me."
The sound penetrated her eardrums, and everyone around her was a warrior, so they were already somewhat vigilant. Naturally, they were all alarmed and turned to look at her.
Wang Xuan, who was not far away on the left, immediately smiled and said: "I wonder what Wu Xia has to do?"
Wu Yinyin said: "I don't think I need to tell you. You all know that there are countless masters in Wanhua Tomb and are extremely dangerous. If you don't deal with it carefully, you will be in danger of losing your life anytime and anywhere."
An old man with a gray face smiled bitterly and said: "What Wu Xia said is that the old man only hates himself for being impulsive and overestimating his ability to come here. Not only did he get nothing, but he also ruined the lives of his disciples. Thanks to the generous rescue of Sanyizhuang, otherwise the old man would
There is no way out."
"Yes, thanks to Daxia Wei and Sanyizhuang."
"Nvxia Wu, your great kindness to your village will be remembered by us forever. If we still have the chance to go out, we will repay you generously in the future."
Everyone expressed their opinions one after another, and it was very lively. Wu Yinyin looked at everyone with a smile, but she sneered in her heart.
She was convinced that some people were sincere, and not everyone was heartless. But there were also quite a few people who were the initiators of privately slandering and insulting Wei Chen.
When everyone's voices faded, Wu Yinyin continued: "Thank you heroes for your trust. As fellow warriors, we should help each other. However, the little girl has thought about it carefully these days and feels that we cannot continue like this. To everyone
None of them are good.”
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet. Many people's faces changed.
They are in poor health and have only relied on the protection of Sanyizhuang to stay stable until now. Hearing this, Sanyizhuang is a little reluctant. If the other party really lets go, depending on their condition, they will be doomed if they encounter a master!
"What does Wu Nuxia mean by this?" You asked immediately.
Wu Yinyin smiled and made a calm gesture: "Don't be anxious, everyone. Sanyi Zhuang takes the lead in righteousness. As long as he has the ability, he will not leave you alone. However, Sanyi Zhuang's capabilities are limited after all. In order to protect you,
Many brothers in the village have been injured, and it is not a long-term solution to continue like this.
Fortunately, Master Wei is wise and has finally come up with a best-of-both-worlds solution a few days ago, which can not only protect you all, but also allow everyone to contribute."
She deliberately carried Wei Chen out just to get rid of some people's delusions.
Wang Xuan smiled and said: "What can we do?"
Wu Yinyin said calmly: "Form an alliance. All of us will form an alliance to work together to fight against foreign enemies. What do you think?"
Many people were stunned at first, then muttered something, and many people's expressions changed slightly.
We are not fools. Forming an alliance is not like simply taking refuge in Sanyizhuang. It means that everyone is an ally. Not only must we obey the leader's command, but we must also work and contribute at many times, which means danger to a certain extent!
Let me ask, how many people are willing to agree?
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. They are used to being protected, so they suddenly become protectors. Many people's eyes suddenly became sharp, staring at Wu Yinyin, but no one expressed their stance.
In the silence, the gray-faced old man who spoke first stood up first: "I agree to form an alliance!"
Wu Yinyin nodded towards the other party. This old man had a good reputation in the world, and he was also the person she attracted from the beginning. As expected, she was not disappointed.
She looked at a few other people. Those people were extremely hesitant, but when they thought that Wu Yinyin had promised them corresponding status within the alliance, it was better than being left alone and in danger, they stood up one after another to respond.
These people are all leaders of small groups, or people with outstanding personal strength. Seeing their stance, many of the remaining people were also shaken.
Wu Yinyin said calmly: "I will never force you, but Sanyizhuang really can't hold on any longer. If you don't want to form an alliance, please leave on your own."
Isn't this forced? Everyone cursed secretly in their hearts, but they didn't dare to break up in public. They couldn't say they didn't want to form an alliance and let Sanyi Village continue to protect it? Wouldn't that mean Wei Chen was being treated as a fool?
Everyone, look at me, and I look at you. Everyone knows that hugging Sanyizhuang's thigh is the safest way. Seeing that someone has already agreed, some people finally made a decision and had no choice but to respond.
As a result, more and more people agree to form an alliance. Even if many people are unhappy, they can only go with the trend. Otherwise, safety will not be guaranteed.
Just when Wu Yinyin thought things would go smoothly tonight, she did not expect that she would encounter unprecedented opposition from the people around her regarding the choice of alliance leader.
