Chapter 177: Rainy Day

It was pouring rain outside, Xiao Tianlei wore loose casual clothes, sat on the wooden floor of the corridor, holding a cup of tea, staring at the rain scene outside in a daze, listening to the sound of the rain, his heart was calm and leisurely, it was rare that there was no business today, and Xiao Tianlei was not relaxed and comfortable.

Now that the rainy season has begun, there will be at least one heavy rain every day, and the sun will often come out after the rain, and the water vapor will be steaming, causing the air to be unusually humid, as if it can wring out water.

Here, it is a temple with a history of hundreds of years, it is very famous in the local area, the style is very different from the temples of Middle-earth, the white round stupa stands in a forest, the shape of the Buddha statue inside is also very different from that of Middle-earth, many places of the building are painted with gold lacquer, painted with intricate patterns, Buddha statues, gods and monsters, the whole looks brilliant, majestic and solemn.

There was no monk in the temple at this time, and the brotherhood occupied this place, as a stronghold, except for the mansions of those lords, only these Buddhist temples were like this, and other buildings were not as good as pigsty in Lingzhou.

As for those monks, they are basically sent to work, the reason why I say basic, because there are many children among the monks, this is also the custom here, many children are sent to the temple by their parents at a young age, one is the religious factor, and the other is that only these children can live a better life, at least they can eat enough, and they can grow up healthily. In this way, a large number of monks in the Naga Kingdom chant sutras and chant Buddha all day long without production, and they all rely on the people below to worship, if it were not for the superior natural conditions of the Naga Kingdom, these goods would have starved to death. In the mouths of the monks of Middle-earth, the Naga kingdom is a country of Buddhas, and all kinds of beauty may be true for monks, after all, they can live a comfortable life of superiority with just one mouth.

Only by seeing and experiencing with your own eyes can you appreciate how magical and wonderful the Naga Kingdom is.

The common people here are dark and thin, living in shacks made of branches and straw, and children rolling in the mud with bare buttocks, which is not much different from primitive people, compared with those princes and lords, who are big shoulders and round waists, and many monks are also fat, in contrast, the two kinds of people are simply not one race.

It should be said that the country of the Naga Kingdom is basically a feudal slave system, backward and ignorant, and it is not difficult to conquer this vast territory with the strength of the Brotherhood.

Before, the Naga Kingdom was defeated once, but it was not reconciled and mobilized the army again, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too big, the Naga Kingdom army was repeatedly defeated, and did not dare to launch large-scale battles, under the bombardment of artillery, it would often only be a big rout, but let the Brotherhood capture a lot of prisoners, and some bearded Naga princes, these guys are not much use to keep, let the Naga King take treasures, relics and the like in exchange.

After that, the Naga Kingdom relied on some geographical environment to deal with the Brotherhood army, but unfortunately, with the implementation of Xiao Tianlei's road construction strategy, with the advancement of the road, the only advantage was also lost.

Under the current conditions, there are not enough materials and it is impossible to build the road very well, but it is many times better than the original muddy road.

Due to the large number of people who were driven to participate in the construction, the progress of the project can be said to be fast, and dozens of miles can be built in one day. It's a little unbelievable to say that a team of Funan soldiers under the Brotherhood can manage thousands of Nagas with only a dozen or so people, all of them are honest and don't resist at all.

It is also these people of Naga who are used to being submissive, and the name of the demon army has scared them so much that they have no heart to resist, besides, some of the good reputations accumulated in Funan before, these people of Naga know that the demon army will not embarrass ordinary people, as long as they work honestly, they will not be embarrassed, and they can still eat well.

Compared with the flickering of empty words, being able to eat enough, is more convincing than those fanciful rhetoric, of course, it is not excluded that some people are more in pursuit of spiritual satisfaction, willing to die for the ethereal gods and Buddhas, and are determined to fight against the brotherhood, of course, only a very few. If there is a problem with these people's brains, then there is no way, and they don't have to care about the life and death of these people.

Therefore, the Brotherhood's encroachment on the Naga Kingdom was unexpectedly smooth, and if it weren't for the influence of the rainy season, the speed would be more than twice as fast.

Although the general Naga people are poor, but those nobles and temples are very rich, especially some large temples, which have accumulated huge wealth and all kinds of rare treasures, during this period of time, in addition to fighting, the rest of the time, Xiao Tianlei and a dry brother were busy looting those temples and nobles' mansions, huge wealth, so that the morale of the whole army has been raised to a higher level.

During this period, the Naga Kingdom sent some envoys to reason with the Brotherhood, Xiao Tianlei was too lazy to deal with it, and when there was a huge disparity between the strong and the weak, where did he need to explain anything to them? No matter what the people of the Naga Kingdom think, he plans to push it over like this, and if he doesn't surrender, wait for destruction.

Of course, the Naga Kingdom will not surrender easily, the messengers sent have been tougher, Xiao Tianlei is too lazy to see it, but those monks are more knowledgeable about current affairs, at first these guys also wanted to reason with the Brotherhood, and use Buddhism to influence the leaders of the Brotherhood, some so-called monks, and pretended to be ghosts and tried to influence Xiao Tianlei with spiritual power to also do a brother, where would Xiao Tianlei eat this set, when he met this kind of guy, he was directly burned at the stake, and it was a scourge to stay, so it was better to see if he could become a relic. Some other eminent monks will not be so direct, but if they catch one and count them as one, they will either send them to work, or let them ransom people with relics and treasures.

Later, the monks realized that the Dharma was useless to the Brotherhood, and changed their strategy, declaring that the leader of the Brotherhood was not a demon, but the reincarnation of some god or Buddha. These monks really saw the wind and rudder, and they couldn't resist and came up with such a trick, wanting to change the court, to change the ruler, maybe they happily accepted, and regarded themselves as gods and Buddhas, regardless of whether they were true or not, with the help of these monks, it became much easier to conquer the Naga Kingdom.

It's just that Xiao Tianlei has no interest in accompanying these guys to pretend to be ghosts, rather than being worshiped and praised by them with fake affection, Xiao Tianlei hopes to see them become relics.

It is a bit cruel to say, but the early rise of any force is accompanied by blood and killing, and countless blood and white bones have forged the foundation, except for the one of the jungle, ignoring and trampling on all kinds of morals and rules in the world, and breaking the original order. Only when they are strong enough to establish a new order will they ignore the dark history of their family and find something that seems to be tall to whitewash themselves, in fact, this is also a kind of disguise, making themselves appear less threatening, in fact, the essence has not changed at all. The Brotherhood is now in the development stage, and there is nothing that cannot be done for the sake of its own growth and development, but relatively speaking, the Brotherhood is already extremely benevolent, at least many ordinary people can eat enough because of the Brotherhood. Even so, when it should be cruel and cold, it will not be ambiguous, maybe one day in the future, the Brotherhood may slowly change, but, at least for now, it can be completely unscrupulous, and it can come as it wants.

"Wow......"

The sound of footsteps on the wooden floor with bare feet, accompanied by the dense sound of bells, can be heard in the cheerful mood of people.

"Brother Tianlei, look, is it good-looking?"

Hearing this shout, Xiao Tianlei turned his head to look, only to see Qi Wushuang trotting over, making a golden outfit, this is the outfit of a Naga noble woman, the whole body is full of exquisite and complicated gold jewelry, all kinds of jewelry, there are a lot of them, so that people can't open their eyes, dizzying, Qi Wushuang happily turned around, in addition to the gold jewelry, inside is a pair of loose pants, a small vest that exposes the navel, Qi Wushuang's bumpy figure is fully revealed, revealing a flat lower abdomen, a jewel embedded in the navel, and a golden waist chain surrounds.

"Well, that's good!" Xiao Tianlei praised him, although he was married, Qi Wushuang still had some childishness, and he was very arrogant, but Qi Wushuang in such an outfit had a unique style, if it weren't for the fact that there were people next to him, Xiao Tianlei might have started to have a crooked brain.

Helan Xiao Xiao also wore a gold suit, walked with small steps, held a tray in his hand, visited some pastries and fruits, bowed his head slightly, and his face was shy, Helan Xiao Xiao bowed slightly, and called softly: "Husband." ”

Xiao Tianlei is really not used to this title, every time she hears it, she has goosebumps, and she has asked Helan Xiao Xiao to change it several times, but she just can't change it, which is related to the strict etiquette education she has received since she was a child. Listening to Helan Xiao Xiao, her etiquette was taught by the court teacher invited by Middle Earth, and Bei Liang had always planned to marry Da Xia, marrying Helan Xiao Xiao to the future emperor of Da Xia, in exchange for a respite for Bei Liang. Originally, as a princess, while enjoying the glory and wealth, there was not much freedom in marriage, especially the beautiful princess, even more so, to put it mildly, it was actually a high-end commodity, and now married to Xiao Tianlei, Helan Xiao Xiao is still very satisfied.

Helan Xiao Xiao respectfully put the tray on Xiao Tianlei's side, and reached out a little to a position that could be easily accessed, and prayed for no frost to pounce on Xiao Tianlei's back, resting his head on Xiao Tianlei's shoulder, and shouted: "Give me a piece of delicious food!" ”

Xiao Tianlei took a piece of pastry, put it in front of Qi Wushuang's mouth, Qi Wushuang probe took a bite, ate it fragrantly, and said, "It's delicious, Brother Tianlei, I'll feed you too!" As he spoke, he also took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Xiao Tianlei's mouth, Helan Xiao sat on his knees, with low eyebrows and a soft smile.

At this time, Qin Yue and Xue Lihua, who were dressed in casual clothes, also arrived, Qi Wushuang still maintained an intimate posture with Xiao Tianlei, Qin Yue and Xue Lihua didn't say anything, they were used to it, and then, they chatted so casually, talking about some recent experiences.

For a period of time before getting married, Xiao Tianlei has been suffering from some gains and losses, marrying four wives at once, although as a man, he is absolutely willing, but it seems that he is really a little careless and greedy, and other girls are afraid that they are not happy, even if they get married, Xiao Tianlei is still worried about a fire in the backyard. At present, Xiao Tianlei's worries seem to be superfluous, and those bad things have not happened, and they get along quite well.

Originally, in this world, polygamy was nothing, especially a powerful man like Xiao Tianlei, and the women in this world were much more obedient than the women on the earth.

Qi Wushuang, Helan Xiao Xiao had no opinion on this at all, and even expressed support, Qi Wushuang probably felt that it would be more fun to have sisters together, Helan Xiao Xiao was completely obedient to Xiao Tianlei's wishes, Qin Yue, Xiao Tianlei could say a lot of good things in private, promising that he would not favor one over the other in the future, and would always be good to her, so she nodded and agreed.

Only Xue Lihua has some pimples in her heart, speaking of which, it's not that she doesn't like Xiao Tianlei, it's just that Xue Lihua is relatively strong, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and emotionally possessive. Therefore, Xiao Tianlei married her very strongly, otherwise, Xiao Tianlei estimated that with Xue Lihua's character, I am afraid that this matter will have to be grinding for a long time, and it will be unpleasant to engage in bloody things such as love and hatred when the time comes. It's just that Xue Lihua has always been a little resentful about becoming Xiao Tianlei's captive, saying that she herself is a captive or something, and occasionally says something unhappy, but she puts on a resigned appearance, and is actually very gentle in private.

The relationship between the four daughters does not need Xiao Tianlei to bother, the four daughters are not ordinary women, besides, they are in the school of the brotherhood and have been exposed to some affairs of the brotherhood, and their vision is no longer comparable to ordinary people, with Xiao Tianlei's current status and power, they will not be like ordinary couples, who are angry about the hardships and hardships in life, and quarrel over some trivial things.

At this time, the five of them chatted like good friends, mainly Xiao Tianlei and Xue Lihua were talking, Qin Yue occasionally interjected, Xue Lihua was also married to Xiao Tianlei, and only really came into contact with some secrets of the Brotherhood, and was very curious about the various policies and actions of the Brotherhood, and always liked to grab Xiao Tianlei to break the casserole and ask the end, and the two were together for many times, as if they were holding a symposium.

"Will you attack Middle-earth in the future?" Xue Lihua suddenly asked.

"What do you say?" Xiao Tianlei asked rhetorically.

Of course, Xue Lihua knew the answer in her heart, this matter was no longer a matter of Xiao Tianlei's personal will, with the rise of the Brotherhood Star Sea Empire, it was naturally hostile to Middle Earth, and each was a threat to each other, and the fight was inevitable. Xue Lihua has now seen the power of the Brotherhood, but Middle-earth is divided, and from the perspective of the Brotherhood, there is no reason to let go of this opportunity. Although she understands it in her heart, after all, Xue Lihua is a native of Middle-earth, and she is still a woman from a Jiangmen family, and she has received some education since she was a child, and she has a deep affection for Middle-earth, but this kind of thing is not something she can interfere with, so she has to sigh slightly.

"If I don't trouble them, they will come to us for trouble, and many things are like that, once you start, you can't stop, and if you give up halfway, you may end miserably." Xiao Tianlei added, although Middle-earth is divided, some people have never forgotten to calculate the Brotherhood, and deliberately drove a large number of homeless people to the border, wanting to drag down the Brotherhood at one time. There is also an assassination like the last time, and such an incident is estimated not to be the last.

"At least, I think our Brotherhood is stronger than those people." Xiao Tianlei added, which can be regarded as a relief to Xue Lihua.

Xue Lihua had to admit that under the rule of the Brotherhood, the lives of ordinary people would be much better, but it was difficult for those big families and some sectarian forces to survive, and it was not impossible to survive, but their original power and power would no longer exist, which those people were afraid would be unacceptable in any case, and the only way out was to fight with the Brotherhood. After studying in the brotherhood school, Xue Lihua also knows the truth of survival of the fittest, and those who do not adapt will eventually be eliminated, but Xue Lihua's family and friends are in this ranks, thinking about the future scene, she can't help but worry about it.

"It's all for the future, and no one can say what will happen in the future."

Xiao Tianlei didn't want to say more to Xue Lihua about this matter, he couldn't change these basic policies he had set for Xue Lihua, these are all related to the foundation of the Brotherhood's rule, Middle-earth has always been the biggest threat to the Brotherhood, even if it is now divided and divided, it is not as easy to deal with as the Naga Kingdom, at least, the army of the Middle-earth forces is stronger than the Naga Kingdom, there are many generals and strategists, and they have also mastered some advanced technologies such as artillery, as well as this huge population base.

The Brotherhood's weakening and attack on Middle-earth has never stopped, from dumping salt and other commodities to collect craftsmen and population, to now, although most of Xiao Tianlei and the Yigan brothers are on the side of the Naga Kingdom, some plans for Middle-earth on the Lingzhou side are still being implemented, for example, some explosives and artillery that Xiao Tianlei promised to sell to Beiliang are already on the way to Beiliang.

Xiao Tianlei firmly believes that he will achieve the final victory, otherwise, it will really be blind to the technology and experience he brought from the earth, Xiao Tianlei only needs to do it step by step, if there is no accident and he does not die, it is only a matter of time.

In fact, after the resurrection of Lin Zhan and Wu Hao, now the Brotherhood has one more reason to go to war, that is, to earn more gold coins through the war and buy hero templates. Although there are some flaws in this resurrection, such as becoming a child after resurrection, there may be other problems, is it really possible to be resurrected all the time? However, after all, they can prolong life and avoid death, and the brothers, including Xiao Tianlei himself, have some people who don't want them to die.

For now, everything is on track, smooth and smooth, Xiao Tianlei doesn't have to worry too much at all, in addition, one of the things that Xiao Tianlei is more concerned about should be to get enough materials as soon as possible to build the altar and portal of the Astral Wandering God Bard template, to be honest, Xiao Tianlei is quite unscored, the portal of Bard in the game seems to be a one-way portal, I don't know what the actual situation will be, whether it can transmit materials and living things is also unknown, Xiao Tianlei is a little anxious to do this, the situation on the other side of the earth, He is more and more confused, and feels more and more unsafe to stay on Earth.
