"Isn't this a clan brother!"

"It's a coincidence, I met Brother Tianyou here!"

Xiao Tianyou was thinking about it, when there were two contrived cries of surprise from the convoy, but he saw the curtains of the two carriages open, revealing the people inside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xiao Tianyou looked at it, who else was he who could walk on this road with swagger, but it turned out to be Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu brothers, both of whom were wearing red official robes at this time, and there were servants and boys in the car to serve them.

Xiao Tianyou also had a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Who is my Dao, it turned out to be two clan brothers, I haven't seen them for many days, it seems that the two clan brothers have been promoted!" Congratulations! ”

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu suddenly danced with their eyebrows, and instantly turned into an indifferent and modest demeanor, Xiao Tianrong bowed to the east and said, "Thanks to Zhou Guogong's attention, I will be awarded an important position......

Now that Great Xia has existed in name only, several major forces have basically determined their respective spheres of influence, among which the most powerful is Zhou Guogong.

Zhou Guogong was originally the in-law of the royal family of Great Xia, and when the Zoroastrian uprising took advantage of the situation to raise troops, gathered a cadre of military generals and strategists, and then the world became chaotic, Zhou Guogong's family took advantage of the situation, united many big clans, under the banner of Kuang Fu Sheji, and set up a young prince to be the emperor. Most of the other forces call themselves Wang Zhi, and Zhou Guogong only calls Guogong, but everyone knows that it is Zhou Guogong who is actually in power, and once the world is calm, it is common for him to let Chan or directly stand on his own and ascend the throne.

Now Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianyou are officials under the command of Zhou Guogong, that is also very confident, this time back is also a return to the hometown, the two put on a full posture, and as a result, they entered the rule of the Brotherhood, except for the time when they entered the customs, someone asked about the origin, and then no one paid attention to them at all, as the envoy of the Zhou State asked to see the leader of the Brotherhood, they only received the worship stickers, documents, and did not say whether they saw or not, and even arranged a post house and reception people, and directly hung them there, saying that the Brotherhood did not arrange the funds for receiving foreign guests, so that they could take care of themselves, It was really rude, and the two of them were angry, but they had no choice but to return to Zhengjiazhuang by themselves.

Along the way, the two played a guard of honor and prestige, but it attracted some attention, the two of them at first felt quite beautiful, and then listened to those gossip that watched the excitement, it turned out that these people regarded them as acting, it is said that some of the dramas of the Brotherhood Art Troupe have some satirical officials to scare the people, and the people under the rule of the Brotherhood have no awe of this kind of official authority, but feel funny.

The situation encountered was completely different from what they thought before, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were a little depressed in their hearts, seeing Xiao Tianyou at this time, originally with Xiao Tianyou's status, the two of them had to bow their heads when they saw it, at this time, the two finally had some feelings of raising their eyebrows, and Xiao Tianyou played officially, saying some unnutritious greetings.

The two brothers actually didn't come back to show off, and the two of them were both envoys of Zhou Guogong at the same time, and as officials of Zhou Guogong, the two naturally had to inquire about the situation of the brotherhood.

Although the Brotherhood is located in a remote area and has no movement to conquer Middle-earth, the Brotherhood has swept away the countries of the Western Regions and displayed quite a strong military power, which still makes the major forces in Middle-earth jealous.

At present, the forces of Middle-earth have no spare strength to deal with the Brotherhood, but the Brotherhood is always a threat and an uncertain factor. No matter which forces unify the world, the Brotherhood is also a big obstacle, originally the Great Xia Dynasty suffered a lot of losses in the hands of the Brotherhood several times, and now the Brotherhood is building roads and fortresses on the border, it is conceivable that if the Brotherhood continues to build like this, it will definitely be difficult to attack the Brotherhood's current Star Sea Empire head-on.

The forces that have the intention to unify the world will naturally not leave the Brotherhood aside, and the clever strategists will not forget to consider the factors of the Brotherhood, but they don't need to think about it if they want to win over and subdue them.

The strongest castles are destroyed from within, and there are countless strategists from all sides, this simple truth is of course clear, and if they still don't believe it, the brotherhood will have no flaws? For example, this time, a large number of displaced people flocked to the three states under the rule of the Brotherhood, and someone secretly guided them, and other forces also pushed the boat down the river, releasing the exiles to cross the border, expecting a large influx of refugees, causing some chaos under the rule of the Brotherhood, and even dragging down the Brotherhood.

To say that Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu are valued and promoted, a major factor is also because the two are brothers of the same clan with several leaders of the brotherhood, and they have some blood friendship, and as the same clan, they may be able to find out some inside stories and play some roles.

To say that Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu are not stupid, they know some of the reasons, but they believe that they are promoted because of their own talents, and they think that they will definitely make some careers, and when the time comes, those boys in the Brotherhood will dare to be arrogant!? Even now, under the command of Zhou Guogong, in the future, the Brotherhood will unify Middle-earth and establish a new dynasty, and when the time comes, the Brotherhood will not think of any other result except surrender, so they have the confidence to endure it no matter how rude the Brotherhood is, pondering, one day these boys will be good-looking.

When they entered Yuezhou, they saw that the Brotherhood opened the pass and let a large number of displaced people enter, but they did not see the chaotic scene caused by the expected influx of displaced people, but they could see some people building ditches and roads almost everywhere, and they were busy.

Even so, the two are not optimistic about the Brotherhood, the two are on Zhou Guogong's territory, it is a spring breeze proud, all kinds of comfort, feel that everything is good, and return to the Brotherhood's rule, originally the two of them were not used to the various practices of the Brotherhood, but now it is even more unpleasant. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the Brotherhood is now called the Star Sea Empire or something, it's just a joke, the land of the three states dares to call the empire, and the name is still what I don't know what the so-called "Star Sea", it has no body at all, and it has always been a joke among the scribe group, which is enough for them to vomit for a few days. It's a pity, it's just that the leaders of the brotherhood don't care about them at all, and they don't have a chance to make fun of each other, but when they see something unruly, they can't help but sneer.

"The Brotherhood is building so much that the emotional outcasts have been captured by them to work! If you really don't care about the people's strength, and you don't have the slightest heart to cherish the people, don't you know that those who are in power should love the people like children? Brother, don't you say? Xiao Tianrong had a distressed look on his face, but his eyes were on Xiao Tianyou, speaking of which, Beiliang is the great enemy of the Middle-earth forces, and sooner or later there will be a battle, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu's buttocks can be regarded as sitting upright, shouting affectionately, and seeing Xiao Tianyou as a big enemy in their hearts, thinking about getting some information from Xiao Tianyou, or taking advantage of it.

"The people's livelihood is the same, but I am not familiar with it, this place is under the rule of the Brotherhood, how to act is the affairs of the Brotherhood, but it is not the turn of others to put their beaks." Xiao Tianyou was still smiling, and replied lukewarmly, neither soft nor hard, he was really not in the mood to fight with Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu, and he was begging for cheapness. Xiao Tianyou has always looked down on those civil officials in Daxia, and he has a strong mouth, so he loves to instruct others, and if he really wants them to do things, most of them will make a mess, and the prototype will immediately appear under the sword, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu pretend to be a big man, Xiao Tianyou only thinks it's funny, for some childish sarcasm and provocation of the two, why he wants to drink Ma Bailuyuan in the future, his words are mixed with some poems to confront Beiliang, he doesn't care at all, he is too lazy to bother.

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu felt that Xiao Tianyou was speechless, and they were secretly refreshed, and they kept picking on Xiao Tianyou.

Most of Xiao Tianyou's energy is still observing everything along the way, to say that the forces of Middle-earth deliberately released the exiles to the Brotherhood, Xiao Tianyou also got this information, and personally went to see the scene of the Brotherhood resettling the exiles, to be honest, the Brotherhood was not polite to the exiles, and did not show any mercy, it was still a set of rules, everything that was not honest was a stick, or directly driven out. Even so, there is no chaos among the homeless, the main thing is that the Brotherhood has a lot of food in hand, and the homeless people can't mess up as long as they have something to eat, and the personnel of the Brotherhood are extremely efficient, and no matter how many homeless people he has, he can control them in the slightest, and they are in order, Xiao Tianyou has to admire.

The Brotherhood will not give food and drink to the homeless people in vain, all in exchange for work, as long as they are willing to work, they are told to eat enough and eat meat. Therefore, Xiao Tianyou wondered where the Brotherhood got so much food, it was not 12,000 people, from the beginning to the present, the Brotherhood has accepted millions of displaced people, and now it is still the one who comes.

Xiao Tianyou felt that he had missed something, but he really couldn't think of it for a while, while talking about some nonsense without nutrition with Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu, all the way forward, suddenly, there was a strange sound of dance music in the distance ahead, accompanied by many people watching the excitement on both sides of the road, and there was a lot of commotion.

Xiao Tianyou looked up, only to see a colorful team slowly walking on a straight avenue, in front of them were some knights, although they were all wearing horn helmets often worn by Brotherhood soldiers, but looking at the armor and clothing, they were not the Imperial Army under the command of the Brotherhood, carefully looking at the faces of these people, from their facial features and skin color, it was easy to distinguish that they were Funan people.

Xiao Tianyou is not surprised, the Brotherhood has a lot of Funan people, this is a well-known thing, and then look at the back of the team, the mighty are all huge elephants, painted with colorful oil paint, draped in colorful, beautifully patterned blankets, the elephant's tusks are also decorated with gold, the elephant pulls some carts, the cart is a double-layer structure, more than ten meters long, the first layer is some musicians, holding all kinds of musical instruments to blow and play, but the upper floor is the stage in general, on the top are some Funan women, smiling, singing and dancing, dressed gorgeously and exposed, twisting his waist, and having a lot of jingling noises on his body, he really feels a little seductive.

Looking at such a lively team, Xiao Tianyou also felt strange and watched curiously, but when he noticed the scale of this team, he was still taken aback, only to see elephants and various floats, all the way to the line, Xiao Tianyou went to see where the tail of this team was, at a glance, Xiao Tianyou's eyes were attracted by the avenue that the team walked, only to see that the road has been extending to the west, plunging into the dense forest, Xiao Tianyou couldn't help but think, where does this road lead? Suddenly, a vague thought flashed in Xiao Tianyou's mind, but he didn't catch it for a while.

After Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Tianrong, Xiao Tianlu and their guards also arrived, witnessing such a team, looking at the women who twisted their waists, their eyes seemed to fall out, their mouths opened slightly, and many people drooled.

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were also out of shape at first sight, but they quickly realized that they quickly recovered their manners and made a serious appearance, Xiao Tianrong said disdainfully: "These barbarian women are really immoral and shameless!" ”

Xiao Tianlu quietly wiped his mouth and said approvingly: "Where do these foreign barbarians know how to be polite, righteous and shameful, look at those women, showing their heads and exposing their skin, it's just shameless!" ”

"That is, under the rule of the Brotherhood, if you don't follow the way of the sages and make so many strange things, you don't have any decency, and sooner or later you will ...... What do you all look at, your eyes are withdrawn, show me majesty, and the flags are raised, and you can't weaken the momentum of your own officials! Xiao Tianrong said, seeing that the guards' attention was on the float, he shouted angrily, jumped out of the carriage and kicked a few soldiers.

Xiao Tianrong originally wanted to compete with this team and block the way, Xiao Tianlu saw the size of the team, and the fierce Funan soldiers among them, persuaded a word, and then let it aside, many people who watched the excitement followed this team, and heard these people say that these elephants, floats, musicians, dancers, etc., are all teams that came to celebrate the wedding of the leader of the brotherhood, and both of them were a little angry, gritting their teeth and cursing.

"Humph! The pomp and circumstance of the marriage is bigger than the emperor's wedding, and it is completely rude, it is simply overturned! ”

"Carried away, lawless, really no one in the world can be cured!"

……

The scolding of the two was drowned out by the singing, dancing and laughter, no one paid attention to them at all, and the two couldn't scold anything, their faces were unhappy, and the two of them only remembered Xiao Tianyou at this time, but they didn't see Xiao Tianyou.

Xiao Tianyou had already dismounted at this time, and ran alone to the middle of the convoy, the float in the middle was even more gorgeous, many people watched and cheered, Xiao Tianyou was dressed as a businessman, mixed in the crowd, listened to the shouts of others and some people in the team, and also interjected.

"Sixth, what a beautiful scenery, this trip is happening again?"

"Thanks to the blessings of the leaders, I earned a little bit, haha."

"Look at you, you must have made a lot of money, bring me next time."

"To tell you the truth, the next time I go over, I don't plan to come back."

"Ah, you made it up? Do you give up your inheritance and your wife and children? ”

"I'm going to move my family here!"

"Move in?"

"The above encourages the cultivation of wasteland, the fields under a person's name can have this number, and the tax exemption for three years, when those displaced people were just sent away, it was like sending them to death, and now they are all crazy, desperately clearing the wasteland, the people of Funan will not farm, it will fall into our hands, the grain is produced three seasons a year, and there is no need to take care of it, waiting for the grain to be harvested, such a good thing, you can't let the displaced people take advantage of it, right?"

"According to what you say, I'm all moved, and I have to go back and discuss it with my family."

"Then you have to hurry, there are limited places over there, it's too late, but you won't be able to leave anything."

"How so? Didn't you say more than a dozen states? How could there be no place? ”

"I heard that this is a special order from the big boss, not too many people are allowed to go at once, saying that it is to protect the environment or something, anyway, it makes sense."

"It's just that I heard that it's not peaceful over there, and you say that you've been at war with that country?"

"Fight! That's good! My kid was admitted to the army, and he never caught up with the good times, fighting Funan, the Western Regions, Yuezhou, and Maozhou, when did the leaders of the Brotherhood suffer? Which time was it not a cartload of gold, silver and jewelry pulled to Lingzhou? The soldiers who participated in the war were all distributed, if it weren't for my age, people didn't want it, I would have to go desperately! I say to you, the Naga kingdom to the west is called rich, and it is rich in gold, and strange gold, and all kinds of precious stones, and spices...... The people who have status over there are all covered in gold, silver and jewelry, how can there be dozens of catties, the big Buddha in the Buddhist temple there, the whole body is gold, inlaid with all kinds of treasures, don't think that it is the small Buddha statues enshrined at home, that is the real big Buddha, at least there are also high ......"

"Wow!"

The narration of the person named Lao Liu caused an uproar among the surrounding audience, and their eyes were shining with golden light, and they swallowed their saliva involuntarily, revealing their fascinated expressions one by one.

"Shhhh

Xiao Tianyou in the crowd was so frightened that he didn't know what expression to make, his face was blank, he understood at this time, it turned out that the Brotherhood had already laid down Funan, listening to those people talking, Xiao Tianyou's heart became more and more shocked, indescribable, and then look at that avenue, it is conceivable that this avenue passes through the dense forest, leads directly to Funan, and continuously transports Funan's treasures and grain to Lingzhou. The territory of more than 10 prefectures in Funan is all fertile land, and the production of three seasons of grain a year has brought countless Funan people under the rule of the Brotherhood. The next moment, Xiao Tianyou was inexplicably annoyed, it was not others who were angry, it was himself.

"I should have known this a long time ago! Should have known it a long time ago! Xiao Tianyou muttered to himself, he went to Zhengjiazhuang more than once, and walked this road more than once, why did he never think about where this road leads?

What's even more infuriating is that such a thing that seems to be known to many people in Lingzhou, he only knew at this time that those spies under him are stupid?

In fact, it is not to blame Xiao Tianyou's subordinates, for the people inside the Brotherhood and related people, these are not secrets, but everyone has a certain sense of confidentiality, under some systems and supervision of the Brotherhood, those who engage in intelligence are easy to distinguish, besides, according to the traditional concept, they have never thought about this aspect, and unconsciously missed important information.

Xiao Tianyou thought about it carefully, in fact, the appearance of a large number of Funan people and products from Funan under the rule of the Brotherhood were obvious signs, but he never thought about it.

Xiao Tianyou couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, these boys of the early brotherhood were insidious and cunning, this is too yin!

Many of those people in Middle-earth looked down on the Brotherhood, believing that the Brotherhood was in a safe corner and did not seek progress, and that the world would be unified in the future, and it would inevitably be destroyed. Xiao Tianyou knows a lot about the Brotherhood, although he doesn't think so, he also thinks that the Brotherhood is a bit nonsense, but he doesn't know what medicine the Brotherhood sells in the gourd, and the emotional family has another plan, not to compete with those forces in Middle-earth, and to lay down a big territory without making a sound.

If such a thing is poked out, it will definitely shake the world, and the situation in the whole world will change, just with Xiao Tianyou's understanding of the Brotherhood's style of acting, so that some idle people can also know about this matter, and they can talk about it privately, I am afraid that the Brotherhood no longer cares about the exposure of this matter, and it should have completely controlled Funan, otherwise it would not have resettled the displaced people in Funan.

Many people are still fools who are the boys of the Brotherhood, and they stupidly run to fight the countries of the Western Regions, but as a result, they were all kept in the dark by this group of boys, which is good, plus Lingzhou, Yuezhou, Maozhou, Rongzhou, and the countries of the Western Regions that have just been defeated, an extremely broad territory has been formed, it can be said that the Brotherhood's Xinghai Empire has become a general trend, and people who claim to be the Xinghai Empire are not blowing, such a vast territory, it is really a big country, and there is no pressure to call the emperor the emperor.

If there is any weakness in the Brotherhood, it may be that the population is insufficient, the so-called world is not only the territory but also the people, this is good, those forces in Middle-earth tried to calculate the Brotherhood, and drove a large number of displaced people to the rule of the Brotherhood, but they gave the Brotherhood a benefit for nothing, it was like a meat bun beating a dog......

Speaking of which, Xiao Tianyou is also watching the development of the Brotherhood, it can be said that his eyelids are low, and the Brotherhood has grown to this point, he doesn't know what to say, he can only say that his eyes are blind! Presumably, those who designed the Brotherhood knew about this, and their expressions must have been even more exciting, and they were so angry that they vomited blood.

The Brotherhood has no intention of chasing Middle-earth now, but is just watching from the sidelines, and with the sinister nature of the Brotherhood's boys, as long as these forces weaken in the fight with each other, the Brotherhood will show its minions and reap the benefits of the fisherman...... The more Xiao Tianyou thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case, and when he thought of this, he felt that his attitude and views towards the Brotherhood had to change.

Originally, the Brotherhood was a small force that divided one side, Beiliang, as a big country in Northern Xinjiang, still has some mentality at the top, but now the situation is different, today he came to Zhengjiazhuang in order to discuss the marriage of Xiao Tianlei and Helan Xiao Xiao, there was originally a bottom line, and he wanted Helan Xiao Xiao to be his wife, but now he can't take care of a lot, specifically, Xiao Tianyou no longer plans to ask the Empress Dowager Xiao, so he ran to the Xiao family, and made up his mind, he has to say anything today.

Xiao Tianyou turned around, got on his horse and beckoned the accompanying people, bypassed the crowd of onlookers, and rushed to Zhengjiazhuang.

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu decided that Xiao Tianyou had some plans to Zhengjiazhuang this time, as a hostile position, of course they didn't want Xiao Tianyou to succeed, and they didn't say hello when they saw Xiao Tianyou, so they left them in a hurry, and the two hurriedly shouted: "Alas! Brother, don't be busy, wait for us, let's talk while walking...... Let's go, keep up! While beckoning the accompanying people to chase after Xiao Tianyou and the others. (To be continued.) )
