Three days later, in Baixue Town, Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling held a simple sworn brotherhood ceremony.
In addition to Lan Xin, Long Xiang, Long Yongjun, Monk Ben Yin, and more than a thousand elite guards, there were also hundreds of people brought by Zhao Ben, as well as Gu Beifeng's representatives stationed in Changbai Mountain, Gu Rui, and Du Tianxing's representatives stationed in Changbai Mountain. Zhou Yong, each with more than a hundred guards, came to watch the ceremony.
The first is a simple ceremony. Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling kneel down to Changbai Mountain:
"I, Zhao Benling, am willing to become opposite-sex brothers with Yang Xiao,"
"I, Yang Xiao, am willing to become opposite-sex brothers with Zhao Benlin,"
"We share blessings and hardships, we share life and death, as the mountain gods of Changbai Mountain bear witness. If you betray your oath, you will be devoured by the Siberian tiger in Changbai Mountain."
The two finished reciting the oath of sworn brotherhood, and then killed a king-level Siberian tiger that Yang Xiao had captured a few days ago on the spot. The king-level Siberian tiger had been seriously injured by Yang Xiao and was dying. It was killed by Yang Xiao at the beginning. The sword cut off the neck, Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling each put the Siberian tiger's blood into their wine glasses and drank it in one gulp.
The two hugged each other.
Zhao Benling is 3 years older than Yang Xiao, so he is the eldest brother and Yang Xiao is the younger brother.
"Brother!"
"brother!"
As a native of the Northeast, Zhao Benling was originally a sweet-tempered man with a bold personality and a straightforward manner. Although this alliance was to temporarily block Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing, Yang Xiao still admired him.
Gu Rui and Zhou Yong, who were watching the ceremony, were told by Zhao Benling that there was an important banquet before they arrived. After arriving, they found out that it was a brotherhood ceremony between Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling.
The two of them looked at each other, as if they were in a mirror. Wasn't this just to show them that Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling had formed an alliance?
The two stood up, raised their hands to Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling and said:
"Congratulations to the two kings. One of them is the king of the Northeast and the other is the king of the south. Today they have become brothers. What a joy and congratulation!"
Yang Xiao smiled and said:
"Haha, thank you both for coming to watch the ceremony and be witnesses."
Zhao Benling laughed loudly and said:
"We are all brothers. We will wait until we get drunk."
Naturally, a big banquet was held next, and the content of the banquet was simple. The meat of various mutated monsters was piled up like a hill on the snow, and some were randomly picked out, slaughtered and skinned on the spot, and grilled in a bonfire.
There are dozens of bonfires on site.
Yang Xiao, Zhao Benling, Gu Rui, Zhou Yong, Long Yongjun, Monk Ben Yin and others sat alone around a bonfire, drinking and eating meat while chatting.
After drinking for three rounds, Yang Xiao raised his glass to toast and said to Gu Rui and Zhou Yong:
"Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, although the Changbai Mountain is not small, the three of us are now warmly invited by Brother Zhao to come for hunting. In the future, when we travel around the Changbai Mountain, some misunderstandings and conflicts will inevitably occur. Let's take this opportunity. , I have a little suggestion, please listen to it first and see if it is reasonable."
Gu Rui and Zhou Yong's hearts trembled. Damn, here comes the point. It is indeed the Hongmen Banquet!
Gu Rui immediately excused himself:
"Brother Yang, I'm just a manager assigned by King Gu Tian to Changbai Mountain. I can't take charge of big things."
Zhou Yong immediately echoed;
"Yes, Brother Zhao, Brother Yang, if you have any suggestions, why not personally invite King Gu and King Du to come over, and the four of you can discuss it together. We are just subordinates and cannot be the masters."
Yang Xiao chuckled and said:
"You two haven't listened to me yet. How do you know what I'm going to say? How do you know that you can't make the decision yourself? I didn't ask you to make the decision. I just discussed it and then you reported my thoughts to King Gu Tian. And King Du Tian, the two of them will naturally consider it."
When the two of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Okay, Brother Yang, come and listen."
"Well, my simple question is to temporarily divide the entire Changbai Mountain. From now on, everyone can move in their own territory and not interfere with each other to avoid misunderstandings and harming the harmony."
Zhao Benling, Gu Rui and Zhou Yong heard this and nodded in agreement.
"I wonder how Brother Yang divides the territory of Changbai Mountain?"
Gu Rui asked alertly. Gu Beifeng's territory was scattered in more than a dozen strongholds around Changbai Mountain, occupying almost two-thirds of the place. Although they had not yet gone deep into Changbai Mountain, they already had an advantage.
Yang Xiao picked up the wine glass in his hand, drank it in one gulp, and said:
"First of all, let me correct everyone's concept. This Changbai Mountain territory currently belongs to Brother Zhao. We are just guests invited by Brother Zhao. We are temporarily allowed to enter Changbai Mountain for hunting. If Brother Zhao is not willing to share it, we cannot force it. Occupying Changbai Mountain."
When Gu Rui and Zhou Yong heard this, their expressions suddenly changed, especially Gu Rui's.
Yang Xiao waved to Gu Rui,
"Brother Gu, please be patient and listen to me. This matter is not yours to decide. Just convey my intention to Gu Beifeng. You have occupied most of the strongholds in Changbai. Du Tianxing and I are crowded now. It's obviously not enough to come in. Also, Brother Zhao, as the master, has not entered Changbai Mountain yet, isn't that right? We can't overwhelm the guest, right?"
When Yang Xiao said this, Zhou Yong felt happy in his heart. He and Yang Xiao had just entered Changbai Mountain, and each had only one stronghold. Recently, they had increased their manpower just to hunt more resources. However, many monsters in Changbai Mountain had high levels. , the territory is vast, they start from a stronghold, and the distance into the forest is very limited each time. In order to avoid monster attacks, they need to return to the stronghold in time before dark, which greatly reduces the efficiency of hunting. Listen to Yang Xiao Yang Xiao meant to redistribute the strongholds near Changbai Mountain. This policy was beneficial to him, so he nodded and said:
"Well, Brother Yang is right. The four of us really need to sit down and negotiate the division of resources in Changbai Mountain."
Zhao Bengli now fully understood in his heart that after Yang Xiao became sworn brothers with him, the first thing he did was to help him fight for the actual jurisdiction of Changbai Mountain. He joined forces with Du Tianxing and the three families worked together to squeeze out Gu Beifeng. Yang Xiao's strategy was extremely clever.
As the master, Zhao Benling was supported by Yang Xiao as his sworn brother, and Du Tianxing was also on his side. His confidence suddenly rose. He coughed lightly, glanced at Gu Rui, and said in a deep voice:
"Brother Gu, what Brother Yang means is exactly what I mean. Gu Beifeng also begged me for a long time before I agreed to give him two strongholds. However, you have developed very quickly and have almost taken over the entire Changbai Mountain. Now Yang Brother and Du Tianxing no longer have any strongholds. In addition, as the master, I can't even enter Changbai Mountain, right? What I mean is very simple. There are more than thirty strongholds in Changbai Mountain. Now Brother Gu, Brother Zhou, and I Brother Yang, and myself, our four families will be divided equally for the time being. Each family will occupy eight to ten strongholds. We should divide each other's activities and do not disturb each other.
Also, Brother Gu must exit the two strongholds in Daxinganling in time when he enters it. It's outrageous for you to secretly enter Daxinganling without my permission. Isn't that bad? "
Zhao Benling said, letting out a sigh of relief in his heart. Ever since Gu Beifeng entered Changbai Mountain, this Gu Rui, relying on Gu Beifeng's power, has repeatedly yelled and shouted in front of Zhao Benling, and was extremely arrogant. In order to protect himself, Zhao Benling even had to Not with a smiling face in front of Gu Rui, but in a low voice.
He and Gu Rui were both king-level evolvers, but behind Gu Rui was Gu Beifeng, so he had to swallow his anger.
Zhao Bennling really didn't expect that the first time Yang Xiao became sworn brothers with him, he would get angry at him. The feeling of joy in his heart was simply indescribable.
