Ma Xingkong's attack was considered a victory. Wang Tianzong, the leader of the village, led his brothers from the mountain to welcome him down the mountain in person. The minions fired their guns into the sky one after another and shouted loudly to celebrate the victory.
Liu Bapi was tied up and walked in front with his head hanging down. Wang Tianzong glanced at Liu Bapi: "Master Liu, I really wronged you this time! Hahaha..."
Hei Wa smiled and said: "Master, this old boy has a lot of good things in his family. We also made a little fortune this time, but..."
Wang Tianzong nodded: "Brother, needless to say, I understand that as long as it falls into the hands of this old boy, there will be absolutely no good. Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. As long as this bad breath comes out, I will feel comfortable. I will go to the mountain tomorrow to give him a hand.
Xiaohua builds a grave, and even if we can’t be together in life, we will still be husband and wife in death!”
"Brother!" Mouse nodded: "This is a relic left by my sister-in-law." Mouse put a pair of gold bracelets into Wang Tianzong's hands. The bracelets had been burnt black and looked different at all. Wang Tianzong took them.
, holding it tightly in his hand, his eyes were a little moist. He raised his head, slowly calmed down, and put the bracelet into his arms.
When Liu Daer'er attacked Liujiabao, he was burned alive in his room. As the son owed his father, Liu Bapi would have to bear the consequences for the crime his son committed. Wang Tianzong took revenge today and was in no mood to pay attention to Liu Bapi
, and had him locked up. There are more important things to do in Woniu Mountain today.
Since Ma Xingkong went up the mountain, although he has become a bandit, he has never worshiped the second master Guan, so he is not a real bandit. Bandits are not actually bandits. Since ancient times, many princes, ministers, and even emperors have been bandits.
Not to mention his distant background, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, joined Guo Ziyi's team to fight against the Yuan Dynasty from a cowherd boy. Guo Ziyi was a bandit in the eyes of the Yuan Dynasty.
Closer to home, many of the military governors and generals under President Yuan Da are also from bandits. It is not something you can just join if you want to join the bandits. There are very complicated rituals and procedures. Ma Xingkong is leading the team this time.
The attack on Liujiabao was Wang Tianzong's test of Ma Xingkong. Firstly, he tested Ma Xingkong's ability, and secondly, he tested whether Ma Xingkong was sincere in joining the gang. If Ma Xingkong had been a little thoughtful along the way, it would have been very difficult to get hit by the rat spear.
It is possible to get into Ma Xingkong's head.
"Brother Ma is really extraordinary. He did such a good job for the first time on horseback! Brothers, I'm not bad at judging people!" Wang Tianzong patted Ma Xingkong on the shoulder and shouted to the minions around him.
"The master knows people well and we are convinced!" All the minions responded in response.
"Okay! It seems that everyone has no objection!" Wang Tianzong turned around and shouted loudly: "Old Master, open the incense hall to welcome Brother Ma to join us!"
Ma Xingkong had been to the original Juyi Hall, and the layout today was completely different from that day. Wang Tianzong, the head of the family, sat on the first chair facing the door. In front of him was an Eight Immortals table, which was placed by Mr. Guan.
The spiritual throne was placed on it, and all the lanterns and paper horses were available. The nine incense sticks in the incense burner were lit. Everyone except Wang Tianzong stood aside in a polite manner.
"Kneel down!" As soon as Ma Xingkong stepped into the Juyi Hall, the old master suddenly shouted. Ma Xingkong's legs went weak and he knelt down in front of the second master Guan's tomb.
Hei Wa quickly lit a stick of incense and handed it into Ma Xingkong's hand. The old master said coldly: "Now that Ma Xingkong is sincerely joining the team, please accept it!"
Wang Tianzong nodded. The old master said: "Ma Xingkong, you have to be optimistic. The soul of Master Guan is right in front of you. It's still too late to regret it. Let me ask you again, are you sincerely joining the gang?"
Ma Xingkong looked around, once at Wang Tianzong, and finally at Hei Wa. Hei Wa smiled at him. Ma Xingkong replied: "Master Guan, I am here. I, Ma Xingkong, surrender to Wo Niushan with integrity and will never regret it."
!”
"Okay! Follow me!" The old master said loudly: "I, Ma Xingkong, joined Woniu Mountain today and swore to the Tianmeng that I would never betray the master, never reveal my secrets, never have diarrhea, and never betray my brothers. If I violate it, I will be so sweet!"
After Ma Xingkong finished reciting, Heiwa took the long incense from Ma Xingkong's hand. With a little force, he broke the long incense into three pieces and threw them aside. The old master showed a color to the mouse, and the mouse picked up a wine bowl and put it on Ma Xingkong.
Ma Xingkong raised his head, filled the bowl with wine, and walked back slowly. Just as he returned to the place where he was standing, he suddenly turned around, and "Bang!" A gunshot sounded, and the wine bowl above Ma Xingkong's head responded.
Then, the wine poured down Ma Xingkong's head and into his neck.
"That's right! Brother Ma is really a man, he didn't even blink an eye!" Wang Tianzong said with great appreciation.
A young man brought a pile of thick bowls and gave one to everyone present. The men behind him holding wine jars filled the bowls with wine one by one. A struggling rooster was lifted up and put into the bowl.
He held the chicken's head with his thumb, took out the dagger from his trouser leg, and stabbed the rooster's neck open. The rooster struggled hard to break away from the man's hand, but failed.
The man lifted the rooster upside down and poured two or three drops of chicken blood into each person's wine bowl. Wang Tianzong stood up from the chair, walked to Ma Xingkong, and helped Ma Xingkong up: "Brother,
After drinking this bowl of wine, we will live and die together from now on. If I do anything wrong in the future, brother, please forgive me!"
Wang Tianzong raised his head and poured a bowl of blood wine into his mouth. He raised the wine bowl to indicate to everyone that he was done, and slammed it down, causing the wine bowl to shatter. Jiu Ma Xingkong also drank, but
This wine mixed with chicken blood tastes very strange in your mouth. The smell of blood and the heat of the wine mix together, making people feel like vomiting.
Ma Xingkong endured it, followed Wang Tianzong's example, drank all the wine in one gulp, and smashed the wine bowl to pieces. Seeing that Ma Xingkong had also drank, everyone drank the wine one by one, smashed the wine bowl, and joined the group.
The ceremony was declared over. From now on, Ma Xingkong can be considered a real bandit.
"Good brother! Hahaha..." Wang Tianzong laughed. One of the gangsters took a brand-new Hanyang-made pair seized from Liu Papi's house and handed it to Wang Tianzong. Wang Tianzong said: "Brother, as soon as I joined the gang, I fulfilled one of my wishes.
Big brother, I am also a person who keeps my word. From now on, brother will be our 'cannon head' in Woniu Mountain!" With that, he handed Hanyang Zao into Ma Xingkong's hands.
Today, it seems that the guns made in Hanyang are not very good, but in that era, when everyone used local guns and firecrackers, only the powerful officials in the capital had mirrored box guns or Mauser guns bought from the Germans.
In addition, the weapons made in Hanyang produced by the Hanyang Arsenal founded by Zhang Zhidong in the late Qing Dynasty are already the best and latest weapons.
Ma Xingkong pulled the gun skillfully, and the golden gun oil shone brightly under the headlight: "Thank you, Master!"
Wang Tianzong said again: "Third brother, I'm not worried about Brother Ma's marksmanship, but I'm not very familiar with this new gun. I'll get 200 rounds of ammunition tomorrow and let Brother Ma practice it first!"
In the eyes of everyone's envy, Woniu Mountain has welcomed a new person. No one knows whether this means good or bad. In short, just be happy. Bandits always put their heads in their belts to make a living. As long as they are happy today, it doesn't matter.
