Chapter 8: This Eldest Son is Not Simple! (Revised)
Just as Wang Erniao was hesitating, some bandits who had no old grudges with Heifengzhai heard that surrendering their guns could save their lives. Without saying another word, they quickly threw the guns in their hands to the ground. In front of Wang Erniao and several Xianglufeng bandits who knew that surrender might also lead to death, they squatted on the ground with a very calm expression, their faces filled with contemptuous gazes.
Even some bandits who were used to surrendering were afraid of being hit by stray bullets, so they lay flat on the ground, waiting to be captured like a dead body.
Several dozen bandits who had been brought over surrendered nearly two-thirds of them after hearing Xu Bin's words just now. Wang Er Dou clearly knew that tonight was really going to be a big trouble.
From the tone of Xu Bin's words, Wang Er Chou could easily hear his hatred for Xiang Lu Feng. But knowing that resisting would lead to death, he still gritted his teeth and said: "As Mr. Xu has said, tonight we must decide a winner between us, there is no other way out except surrendering?"
For this question, Xu Bin's next answer directly told Wang Er Zhuang that apart from surrendering and laying down his arms, any strong argument would be futile.
"King Two, stop giving me a bunch of nonsense and wasting my time. We still have to go back to our quarters to sleep later, no time to indulge in your yelling here. This is the last chance I'm giving you, if you don't drop your guns and surrender after ten counts, don't blame me for ordering my men to open fire! Brothers, get ready, listen to my command: ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two!"
If the countdown was like a death knell, it had thoroughly dispelled the small glimmer of hope in Wang Er's heart when Xu Bin counted to two. The sound of guns being cocked and bullets being loaded from all around him completely took away his courage to resist.
As Xu Bin was about to shout out, Wang Er Chou, who was sweating profusely, finally couldn't bear it and threw down his gun, raising his hand and shouting: "Stop, Xu Daxiang, you win. I can surrender, but I hope what you said earlier will be put into action. No matter how deep the hatred is between my brothers and Heifeng Gang in the past, everyone has their own reasons and is also helpless."
Today we fell into the hands of Lord Xu, and I also hope that Lord Xu can keep his promise just now and let my brothers go. As long as Lord Xu can keep his promise, I, Wang Er Chou, will immediately let them surrender."
Huh?
When Wang Er heard the timely shout to stop, both sides of the bandits let out a long sigh of relief. In this close-range night battle, no one dared to guarantee that they could keep their lives safe. Only by capturing the opponent without firing a single shot or bullet was the best solution.
Of course, for the Xianglufeng thieves who also have a desperate mind, if Xu Bin can really do it without holding grudges, surrendering is not a difficult thing for them to accept.
Knowing that agreeing to this condition would make some brothers in the mountain stronghold who have a grudge against Xiang Lufeng unable to understand. However, Xu Bin also clearly knew that after today's ambush, Heifengzhai could no longer withstand major turmoil and losses. Therefore, being able to peacefully dissolve these desperate and ruthless bandits was also a good thing for Heifengzhai.
He asked Li Chengbing with his eyes, and seeing that he did not seem to object to this condition, Xu Bin finally agreed to Wang Erzhuang. Except for the three monkeys who were traitors and not among those to be pardoned, he could spare the lives of the remaining bandits who laid down their arms and surrendered.
Wang Er Niu, who knew the condition was already very difficult to achieve, could only show a hint of apologetic smile to the three monkeys behind him, and then ordered the remaining bandits following him to lay down their weapons and surrender.
Just as Xu Bin thought the situation was under control, Ma San, like a mad dog, suddenly pointed his rifle at Wang Er Zhuang's head and shouted: "TMD, Wang Er Zhuang, since you can't save me, then you might as well die with me. You little rabbits of the Xu family, if you don't want to see Wang Er Zhuang's head blown open, get out of my way!
"Otherwise, don't blame me for going on a killing spree! With Wang Er Zhuo accompanying me to the afterlife, I won't be lonely on my way to the Yellow Springs either! Haha!"
What's going on here? Ma San is actually fighting to the death with Wang Er Chou. This sudden unexpected turn of events has left both sides' bandits somewhat caught off guard.
Looking at Ma San, who had already fallen into madness, a triumphant and arrogant Xǔ Bīn shouted as he walked out of the dark. As for the angry glances from the bandits beside him, Ma San, desperate to survive, completely ignored them. His attention was now fully focused on Xǔ Bīn, eagerly hoping to hear him say that he could spare his life and escape safely.
The surrendered outlaws who followed Wang Erzhuo temporarily could only scold Ma San, this traitor, for doing such a crazy thing, using the life of his own brother to threaten Xu Bin. This move was indeed outrageous and made people and gods angry.
Nowadays, Ma San can no longer take care of these things, and he roars in a hoarse voice: "Go to hell with your own people! Why should you be able to live by surrendering your guns, while I must die? Being an undercover agent is not what I wanted to do. If it weren't for Ma Liu that son of a bitch threatening me, do you think I would have wanted to be a traitor?!
"Today's ambush outside the mountain was all done by Ma Liu himself, why should I take the blame? What kind of skill is it to bully me? Go find Ma Liu for revenge if you dare. I'm not going down alone, even in death I'll drag someone with me."
Ma San, who had gone mad, would not listen to anyone's advice. So some of the bandits following Wang Erzhuo immediately begged Xue Bin: "Boss, please save Wang Ge. Can't you spare this kid's life for now? Anyway, even if we let him go tonight, he won't have a way out in the mountains later. Boss, just give us brothers a bit of face."
We guarantee that as long as Brother Wang's life is preserved tonight, we brothers will definitely follow you wholeheartedly from now on. Even if it means sending us to our deaths, we'll brave the flames and boiling water without hesitation!
Xu Bin, with the shotgun still raised in his hand, looked at Ma San's pleading eyes and calmly said: "Wang Er Zhuo isn't my man, why should I let go of the person who killed my father for his sake? Honestly, Three Monkeys, you're definitely going to die tonight. If you have the guts, shoot Wang Er Zhuo right now. Otherwise, I'll shoot you dead on the spot, believe it or not?"
Ah!
This remark undoubtedly pushed the three monkeys to a dead end. Looking at the three monkeys, who were emotionally agitated and occasionally pressed their rifles against Wang Er Zhu's head, it seemed as if they might fire at any moment. For a while, the atmosphere on the scene became tense without warning.
When Wang Er Gou saw that Xu Bin was unwilling to make concessions for him, he looked at Xu Bin with some disappointment. But it was this glance that made him realize that Xu Bin seemed to be hinting at something, until he saw Xu Bin's shotgun occasionally pointing to the ground and making a slight nodding motion.
Wang Er Niu suddenly understood that this young master didn't seem to care about his life at all, contrary to what he had said.
Just as everyone thought Wang Er Niu was going to sacrifice himself for the three monkeys tonight, Wang Er Niu, who felt the gun muzzle leave his head, suddenly crouched down fiercely in a situation that no one had expected.
Ma San, who was in the midst of a frantic shout, suddenly felt that the head under the gun had lost its trace. Just as he realized something was wrong and prepared to shoot Wang Er Zhuo.
Another gunshot rang out on the scene!
Xu Bin, who had been carefully observing Ma San and Wang Erpao's movements, saw Wang Erpao give a signal with his eyes and immediately crouch down. He decisively fired his gun and shot Ma San in the head, who was momentarily stunned. Although he couldn't use the family law of "three knives and six holes to extract tendons" on this three-ape son who had killed his own father and dozens of brothers in the mountain stronghold.
But being able to avenge his father's death with his own hands, Xu Bin felt that this was also a way of repaying the great kindness of borrowing someone else's body to return to the world of the living, and it was also a matter of personal feelings for a young man.
After the gunshot, Ma San's forehead was blown out with a blood hole. He seemed to have never thought that his final outcome would be like this, and he looked disbelieving, with his mouth agape, making a "hun" sound as he fell to the ground with his eyes wide open.
Seeing Ma San being shot dead, the bandits from Xujiayuan who were standing beside and arresting these surrendered bandits quickly had someone come forward to pick up the gun that Ma San dropped on the ground. For a moment, the eyes of the bandits at the scene once again focused on Xubin, who was the only one to have fired two shots and blown off two people's heads tonight.
They never knew that the young master's marksmanship had reached such a precise level, and for the first time, they felt that this young master still had some shadow of the old master. Maybe in the future, under the leadership of this young master, these bandits who regard the stronghold as their home can continue to live a small life.
On the day he arrived in this space, two bandits' heads exploded, and Xu Bin seemed very calm. On the contrary, the old bandits present felt a little sick when they saw this bloody scene. It was as if Xu Bin, who had never killed anyone or seen blood before, could still be so calm after starting to kill.
This young master is not simple!
