"The Brotherhood is acting recklessly, but this is to arouse the anger of the people, and sooner or later it will reap the consequences!"

In the Lingzhou Governor's Mansion, a large group of officials and scribes gathered here, speaking of some rumors and trends in Lingzhou City in the past few days, many people showed a little excitement and resentment, but among these people, the vast majority of them were extremely dissatisfied with the Brotherhood, hostile, and even hated to the extreme, and they were all the same enemies for the Brotherhood.

It is precisely because of the Brotherhood that they are not having a good time now, first of all, those scribes, originally there were many slaves in their family, and their lives were worry-free, but the Brotherhood used various means to occupy and even forcibly seize them, and the slaves gradually became disobedient, and their lives were not as good as before. In addition to economic problems, there is also a status problem, even if the people of Lingzhou are strong, in the past, ordinary people saw the scribes, they had to be respectful, but now, many people have learned the habits of the brotherhood, arrogant and unreasonable, and use knives and sticks at every turn.

The same is true of those exiled officials, their lives are even more difficult, the offerings of those big clans basically don't need to be considered, most of them have no land, basically no income, the court will pay them a little meager salary, but where is enough, in addition to themselves, they often have a lot of slaves, scholars, concubines in Lingzhou or something, Lingzhou is now rich in all kinds of goods, prices have risen a lot, see some novel goods, the silver money is spent unconsciously, there is no helpless, I have to ask for help everywhere, Pawn some items in the house, or sell some calligraphy and paintings for a living.

A cadre of officials in Lingzhou also has a deep hatred for the Brotherhood, and for corrupt officials, of course, they can't make money, and they have to beware of being caught by the Brotherhood one day and extorting. Ordinary officials are also very helpless, now many affairs in Lingzhou have to follow the rules of the brotherhood, they basically can't take care of anything, it has become a decoration, where is the majesty of the imperial court? What is the law of kingship?

Among all the officials, the most angry and indignant is afraid that it belongs to Zhang Shibi, the governor, he finally sat in the position of the governor, and wanted to make some political achievements, and now Lingzhou is prosperous, but everyone knows that all this is because of the brotherhood, and he has nothing to do with the governor. Now the Brotherhood is a tyrant in Lingzhou, a cancer, if it is not handled properly, he can't afford to bear the guilt, not to mention the loss of office, and he will be wronged if he loses his life.

"Lu Gong, what do you think about this?"

The person Zhang Shibi asked was Lu Guoliang, it is said that Lu Guoliang is just an exiled official, but there is also a huge difference between the exiled official and the exiled official, Lu Guoliang is a bigwig-level figure in the court, almost an official to Zaifu, even if he is exiled to Lingzhou now, it is also very prestigious in the entire Great Xia, and there are countless old and old disciples in the court, although Zhang Shibi is the governor of Lingzhou, he has to be respectful and respectful, and dare not slack off.

As soon as Lu Guoliang arrived in Lingzhou, many scribes and exiled officials felt like they had a backbone, and they came to visit one after another, complaining about some of the conditions in Lingzhou, telling them about their difficult situation, and hoping that Lu Guoliang would use some connections to find a solution to the brotherhood.

When Lu Guoliang was in the court, he also heard about the affairs of Lingzhou, and he didn't take it seriously, but it was just a remote state, and there was just a group of Diao people, and under the majesty of the Divine Dynasty, it was insignificant. Lu Guoliang didn't expect that he was exiled to Lingzhou, and he was intercepted and killed halfway, that day in that valley, although it was basically a person from the Brotherhood who saved him, but he didn't thank him at all, the leader of the Brotherhood, persuaded him to commit suicide, and almost choked him to death in a few words, what a group of bastard boys, he really couldn't think of it, how could there be such a bastard in the world?

A few days ago, when he heard about the atrocities of the Brotherhood in killing the people, Lu Guoliang had always claimed to love the people, and he wanted to go to the Brotherhood to question and make decisions for the people, but as a result, he was dissuaded by Zhang Shibi and others, and told him some of the Brotherhood's styles. In the past, it was not that no one came to the door to find the brotherhood theory, the problem is that the brotherhood is never reasonable, often two sentences are wrong, it is a violent beating, and it doesn't matter who you are, whether you are reasonable or not. A dignified official scribe, who was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, not to mention, mainly lost face and was seen as a joke, and now no one goes to the Brotherhood to theorize.

Lu Guoliang pondered for a long time, he has only been here for a few days, I don't know much about Lingzhou, at least from what I saw and heard along the way, the people of Lingzhou are quite happy, and commerce is particularly prosperous, but the folk customs are really fierce, the streets come and go, many warriors carrying weapons, the brotherhood can dominate in Lingzhou, it can be seen that its power is not small, it is reported that many shops and workshops in Lingzhou are behind the brotherhood, if the brotherhood is in chaos, I am afraid that the whole Lingzhou will have to be in chaos.

"The current situation in Lingzhou is good, according to what you said, but it is mostly the actions of the Brotherhood, but there are some doorways, but they have taken the wrong path, not to mention the side, just financial management, there is a bit extraordinary. The old man has some love for talent, if he can be persuaded and serve the court, there will be less trouble with swords, which can be regarded as a merit. Lu Guoliang said that for a gang like the Brotherhood, according to convention, subduing is the best policy.

As soon as Lu Guoliang finished speaking, Zhang Shibi shook his head again and again, and Zhang Shibi smiled bitterly: "Lu Gong, you don't have to think about this matter. ”

"But why?"

Lu Guoliang was puzzled, Zhang Shibi said that he wanted to persuade the Brotherhood, and Lu Guoliang understood that the Brotherhood was soft and hard, and the government did not exist at all.

"So...... This brotherhood is just some stubborn people! Now, since the Brotherhood has aroused the anger of the people and lost the hearts of the people, it has nothing to fear, and only one soldier and horse, with the right strategy, can capture one of the nets and bring them to justice. "Lu Guoliang has been an official for many years and has rich experience in handling things, although he doesn't know much, he can still grasp the general strategy.

"Lu Gong is very right!" Zhang Shibi nodded yes, originally he didn't dare to move the Brotherhood, that is, he was afraid that the Brotherhood would coerce the people to rebel, but now the Brotherhood has done something, but it is self-destructing the city wall, which makes him have a lot less scruples, but the Brotherhood is still not easy to deal with: "Recently, it has been rumored that Xiao Tianlei, one of the leaders of the Brotherhood, is in the battlefield of Northern Xinjiang, riding the Flying Pig King, and fighting the three generals of Dragoon, Huwei, and Yingyang, if this is the case, the Brotherhood will be difficult to deal with, and the leaders of the Brotherhood are all good at martial arts, as well as white-haired giant monsters, Now the soldiers and horses in Lingzhou are powerless to deal with the Brotherhood. ”

"This matter is just a rumor, the details of it, you and I can't know for a while, it's just that this flying pig, a teenager boy is a rival to the imperial court's dragoon, Huwei, and Yingyang, but I don't believe it, how can the general who can get this title be an ordinary person, is a mere kid can deal with? Not to mention three. You don't have to worry too much, when I was in the court, the court's justices were discussing the candidate for the general of Zhennan, and there would be a result in the near future, not to mention those rumors, just the brotherhood will dominate a state, and there is no king's law, and the court will not ignore it. Even if the leader of the Brotherhood is as powerful as rumored, as soon as the army arrives, it will only end up in pieces, although the Brotherhood is rampant, but it is just some recklessness, the old man doesn't believe it, they can still conjure up an army?! Lu Guoliang appeased Zhang Shibi, disagreeing with those rumors, how many brave generals can resist? There are also many ways to deal with foreign beasts, otherwise, this world would have been the world of foreign beasts for a long time.

"It's just that when the time comes, there will be some chaos, deal with the aftermath, appease the people, and you have to come forward, and return Lingzhou to a bright and prosperous world, you must work together."

"Lu Gong is right!"

With Lu Guoliang's words, Zhang Shibi and others relaxed their hearts and echoed one after another, as if they had seen the Brotherhood disappear in front of the imperial army, and some people began to think about how to reap the benefits and get some of the Brotherhood's properties into their hands.

After that, Zhang Shibi reported some information about the Brotherhood to the imperial court through Xuanwuwei, while waiting quietly and watching from the wall. The more angry the people of Lingzhou are at the Brotherhood, the happier they are, but in their opinion, those boys of the Brotherhood are arrogant and arbitrary, causing the people's resentment to boil, undoubtedly digging their own graves and seeking their own death, ridiculous and complacent, not knowing that a catastrophe is coming.

The core members of the Brotherhood really didn't know that a catastrophe was coming, and for them, the recent series of actions were just a cleanup that Xiao Tianlei had asked for.

Previously, the Brotherhood had grown expansively, adding a lot of new peripheral members, and the personnel were too numerous for these people to be very loyal to the Brotherhood. Originally, if the Brotherhood confronted the Great Xia, the people's backs were a problem, you must know that the Great Xia Dynasty has been established for more than three hundred years, and most people still agree with the Great Xia in their hearts, and it is usually nothing, at a critical time, if these people make trouble for the Brotherhood, even if they cause some extremely minor troubles, or delay in doing things, it may lead to some serious consequences, so take this opportunity, Xiao Tianlei simply ordered to clean up and clean up some unstable factors.

If you want to say that the brotherhood will win the hearts of the people or something, from the very beginning, Xiao Tianlei never thought that the people's hearts are very unreliable and may change at any time, after all, people's hearts are fickle, if their own power is in an absolute advantage, the people's hearts can be borrowed, because the so-called people's hearts are basically a kind of mentality that follows the general trend, after all, ordinary people are actually the grass on the wall of the clouds, and the wind makes the rudder. Now the power of the Brotherhood, compared to the Great Xia Court, is of course at a disadvantage, these people's minds are unpredictable, maybe a little benefit will sell the Brotherhood, relying on these people, it is definitely looking for death, the previous life of the set of taking the mass line and the like, is completely inapplicable.

Xiao Tianlei doesn't like uncertain factors, he likes to hold everything in his hands, in fact, there are not many people who rebel or something, the main thing is that these people have to be reliable. In this world, an elite soldier against a rabble is not much different from mowing grass, and an army with high morale is almost like driving sheep in the face of a demoralized army.

Xiao Tianlei wanted a strong-willed professional army, and this time he went to northern Xinjiang and watched the battle between the two countries, which made him clear about this. In fact, at the beginning of the establishment of Wild Boar Ridge, Xiao Tianlei completed the preliminary preparations for the establishment of this army in accordance with some knowledge in his previous life, and after several years of development, the army has been formed, that is, his own brothers, and a group of Shanyue people who have undergone various professional training.

The Shanyue people were already in the oppressed class of Lingzhou, and the appearance of Xiao Tianlei allowed them to get rid of their original predicament and gave them a new life and hope, but their status on the surface still did not change, they depended on Xiao Tianlei, and if they wanted to change their status and resist the rule of Great Xia, they must also rely on Xiao Tianlei.

Originally, the Brotherhood was just a peripheral force, a cover and experiment used to attract some firepower, and those members of the Brotherhood can be said to be just reserve personnel, and the biggest use is probably to make money to facilitate the transfer and purchase of materials in Wild Boar Ridge. As for the cutting of some peripheral personnel of the Brotherhood, causing public resentment or something, Xiao Tianlei doesn't care at all, these people only dare to express their opinions when they are hidden among many people, and they are just like the clouds, as long as the situation is slightly wrong, in the face of a little threat to their lives, where do they dare to complain, where will they be angry, when the time comes, they can only kneel and beg for mercy.

Of course, the premise of all this is to have enough strength, Xiao Tianlei has some confidence in this, as time goes by, his strength is still increasing, and there are more and more hole cards in his hand.

After returning to Zhengjiazhuang, Xiao Tianlei went directly to Wild Boar Ridge, then rode on the steel mane and took a few brothers into the mountains and forests.

Xiao Tianbao carried a fluffy white bear on his back, stuck to Xiao Tianbao's back, like a teddy bear, and was cute. But when he stayed in Tianyue Mountain, Xiao Tianbao heard that his new mount needed a white bear, and he searched all over the mountains, and as a result, he really didn't know where to find this little white bear, at that time, the little white bear was dirty, sick, and almost dying, Xiao Tianlei used healing techniques and healing potions on it to save it.

Needless to say, Xiao Tianbao planned to let Xiao Tianlei use the Thunder Roar hero template on this little white bear, Xiao Tianlei really tried it, and it was really as he imagined, matching the Thunder Dragon Roaring Hero template, however, Xiao Tianlei did not give it for the time being, and planned to wait for this little white bear to grow up before speaking, because in a short period of time, the little white bear could not become a combat force, and now in the face of various threats, the hard-earned gold coins still have to be used to improve the combat power in a short time.

However, this little white bear does have a name, which is taken from the Thunder Roar Hero template - thunder.

In addition to Thunder, Xiao Tianlei also brought back a few young eagles from Rongzhou, which were the chicks of a giant falcon that gave birth to strange beasts in Rongzhou, and brought them back, of course, in order to match the flying hero template in the system, so that they can become the general combat units of his own air force.

This time into the mountains and forests, Xiao Tianlei is looking for the golden giant ape beast he had seen once in the forest, after confirming that the animal can indeed match the hero template alone, Xiao Tianlei let the snow ape Nunu enter the mountain to search for this golden ape beast, at present, the use of the beast as combat power is the most direct for the improvement of strength, and some science and technology heroes can also quickly improve their strength, but there are some limitations.

Xiao Tianlei rode a steel mane and opened the way all the way, but he was not afraid of many dangers in the forest, and judging from the information sent back by Nunu, he had found the golden giant ape.

When Xiao Tianlei and they arrived at the location of the golden ape, at this time, Nunu was fighting with the golden ape, and a large area of the surrounding forest was destroyed.

The golden ape is very ferocious, and its combat effectiveness is not weak, its body is only two heads shorter than Nunu, its arms are not as thick as Nunu's, and its strength is a little worse, but it is extremely flexible, jumping back and forth, tearing Nunu with its claws, and it can also spray golden shockwaves in its mouth, so as to break the hail attack thrown by Nunu.

If there is no mace in his hand, the snow ape Nunu is estimated to have to suffer, even so, the mace has also scratched a lot of deep scratches on the golden giant ape, and it is difficult to do it if Nunu wants to take down the golden giant ape alone.

In order to prevent the golden giant ape from escaping, after Xiao Tianlei arrived, he immediately cast the pig girl's ultimate, the Extreme Ice Cold Prison, which froze the golden giant ape for a few tenths of a second, and the snow ape Nunu took the opportunity to give it a dull stick to knock the golden giant ape unconscious, and then ended the battle.

After that, Xiao Tianlei took advantage of the golden giant ape to be unconscious, Xiao Tianlei tried to match its hero template, and sure enough, as he thought, matched the expected hero template, Xiao Tianlei planned to give this golden giant ape the hero template, of course, the Monkey King hero template.

The hero template of the Monkey King is based on the Monkey King in the myths of the previous life, of course, in the game, it is not as powerful as in the myth, but, but those hero skills, and the snow ape Nunu is not too much of the same size, with a heavy iron rod that matches its size, it is definitely a terrifying existence.

The matching of the hero template is very successful, after giving the golden giant ape Monkey King template, through the private chat system, you can communicate with it, basically the same as Nunu, more obedient to command, but the golden giant ape is more aggressive, always grinning and provoking Nunu.

After returning to the Wild Boar Ridge, Xiao Tianlei synthesized equipment for the golden giant ape, hundreds of catties of fine iron, gold, silver, and some strange gold to synthesize a golden hoop stick with silver white in the middle and golden red at both ends. Seeing this golden hoop stick, the golden giant ape grabbed it in his hand, danced easily, and was very happy, the heavy golden hoop stick was danced like a fan by it, driving a huge wave of qi, that kind of joyful expression and action, but it reminded Xiao Tianlei of the Monkey King in the TV series he saw in his previous life, this golden giant ape, Xiao Tianlei was also too lazy to choose another name, so he simply called Wukong directly.

After that, Xiao Tianlei upgraded the equipment from his own brothers, this time because he brought back a lot of cold iron, Xuan Bing Iron, and Snow Stone, Snow Ape Nunu's equipment can also be purchased, it is a set of armor made of cold iron and Xuan Bing Iron, and the mace in Nunu's hand has also added some strange gold, re-smelted and shaped again, Xiao Tianlei also has to praise, LOL system is really humane this time.

After arranging some other affairs and checking the various workshops, Xiao Tianlei was quite satisfied, so he rode the steel mane, returned gracefully, and went to Cangshan Hall. (To be continued.) )
