Chapter Ninety-Seven: Brain Supplement
"The imperial army is pressing, but the brotherhood is busy building new houses and distributing them to those Shanyue people, do you really think that Lingzhou is theirs? On a cloud! ”
"Don't look at the fact that the brotherhood is having fun now, just wait for the imperial army to arrive, the brotherhood will be wiped out, and the people of Shanyue are afraid that they will be killed!"
"The imperial court didn't kill all these southern barbarians back then, what a kindness that was, I didn't know how grateful the emperor's grace, and dared to rebel, see how many days they can be proud!"
"Look, it's not going to be a few days, and when the time comes, we'll have to get our own property back!"
"Shhh
……
In a restaurant in Lingzhou City, several scribes and gentry dressed as people whispered, saying bad things about some brotherhoods and Shanyue people, either with a determined look, or with a high posture of cold eyes, and the words were conclusive, these people did not leave Lingzhou, of course, it was not that they had no opinion on the brotherhood, on the contrary, they firmly believed that the imperial court could wipe out the brotherhood, so why listen to the brotherhood to go elsewhere? !
The words of these people were heard by many people in the store, and recently Lingzhou was under the control of the Brotherhood on the surface, but secretly there were indeed some people who were panicking. At the table next to these people, there was an old man in Tsing Yi and several men, seeing that they were all wearing new clothes, he knew that most of them were from the countryside, and at this time, the faces of the people at the table were a little ugly. This table was the old lady Xiao, Xiao Qingyun, Zheng Baihu and others who rushed to Lingzhou City from Zhengjiazhuang, and they were shocked when they learned that the brotherhood had rebelled, and Zhengjiazhuang was a little chaotic.
Zheng Baihu originally just wanted his son Zheng Biao to make more money, but he didn't think that he would rebel, but he would raid the family and exterminate the clan, and the Zheng family's family was panicked and noisy all day long. The Xiao family is similar, there is no way to get rid of the relationship between rebellion, and some of the Xiao family's clansmen are packing up their things and preparing to flee to Beiliang and join their relatives over there.
Old lady Xiao was also stunned when he learned about this, the family was still discussing Xiao Tianlei's matter, there was no way, I was worried about it, I didn't expect a few boys to rebel directly, and they didn't say a word, how old are these bastard boys? Dare to rebel! Later, I heard that it was Shanyue who rebelled, and the brotherhood was just a pretense, and Old Man Xiao regretted it at the time, and agreed to Xiao Qinghe to marry Jiang, so he had a relationship with Shanyue people, and now it's too late to say anything! A group of old people of the Xiao family were in a hurry, but they couldn't sit and wait for news, Old Man Xiao followed Zheng Baihu and a group of people to Lingzhou City, but the leaders of the Brotherhood went to the front line to fight, and they couldn't get any useful news, the Brotherhood was busy these days, and they didn't have time to receive it, so they could only find an inn in Lingzhou City to live and wait.
After a few days of circularity, I heard some news about what the Brotherhood had done, and the group even felt that a group of boys from the Brotherhood were messing around, even if they had not rebelled, they also knew that the rebellion was not made like this! didn't know how to buy people's hearts, posted a notice with rough words, drove people out, didn't say anything, didn't hurry to recruit troops, but gathered a large group of people to build roads and houses...... In short, do something that is not serious.
Old Man Xiao, Zheng Baihu and others were also in a hurry, there was no way, they heard some rumors, their mood was even lower, they ordered a table of good dishes, and they had no appetite at all.
A table of people fell silent, and suddenly there was a commotion in the street below, and some servants came upstairs and whispered something to the scribes and gentry, and they all changed their countenances and went downstairs one after another.
Old Man Xiao, Zheng Baihu and others saw it, and their hearts were also tight, guessing that it must be the news of the war in front of them, and they all had a lot of thoughts in their hearts, and they wanted to know, but they were a little afraid to listen to it.
The people upstairs soon only left Old Man Xiao, Zheng Baihu and others, looking down at the street, many people were running in one direction, at this time, there was a sound of footsteps, one person went upstairs, but it was Xiao Qingyang, who went to inquire about the news, his face was a little excited, and when he saw Old Man Xiao and others, he gasped and said, "Third Uncle...... Win! ”
Everyone was puzzled, and Zheng Baihu hurriedly asked, "Won?!" What wins? You can make it clear! ”
Xiao Qingyang took a breath before he said: "The Brotherhood has won a big victory, and the Yuezhou Navy from the sea has all surrendered!" I heard that the three-way army of the court in front of them was also defeated. ”
“……”
Unbelievable news, Zheng Baihu, Old Man Xiao and others didn't know how to react, and they actually won? And it's a big win! It's completely different from what I thought!
Zheng Baihu laughed out loud and danced with his hands: "Haha! Win! Hahaha...... God forbid! ”
"Really?" Xiao Qingyun asked again, wanting to confirm again.
Xiao Qingyang said affirmatively: "Can this kind of thing be fake!?" The surrender of the Yuezhou Navy Army has arrived at the dock, and the Brotherhood is receiving it, and many people are going to see it. ”
"Then let's go and see?!" Zheng Baihu proposed, but at this time he was already in high spirits.
Other people naturally agreed, want to confirm it with their own eyes, in order to rest assured, and when the group arrived at the Lingzhou wharf, the wharf was already crowded with people, all the people who got the news came to see the excitement, some Shanyue soldiers maintained order, and did not allow these people to see the excitement approaching, a team of soldiers wearing clothes printed with the words "Yuezhou Water Army" were lining up in a long line, one by one to some tables to register, each issued an identity card.
On the docks farther away, I heard some people shouting about the Brotherhood's policy towards prisoners of war, regardless of whether you are a general or an ordinary soldier, you will be treated the same, and you will be arranged to work at some construction sites of the Brotherhood, and if you dare to make trouble, someone will clean it up. If you want to get rid of the status of a prisoner of war, there are two ways, the first is to work for the brotherhood, do a few years of work, only some basic security and wages, in addition, you can pay a ransom, if it is an ordinary soldier to pay is not much, if it is an official, general, then it is too much, not including weapons, armor, mounts, if you want to redeem it has to be calculated according to the price, many soldiers and officers are considering, but to do a few years of hard labor, or to pay the ransom?
The way the Brotherhood treated prisoners of war, at first glance, shocked many people, and by this time it had become a topic of discussion.
"The boy of the Brotherhood is coming again, at this time, shouldn't he recruit rebels, just like in the play, and accept some fierce generals?"
"The brotherhood does things, how can it be seen according to common sense, but this brotherhood is also extinct, and the war is also done as a business, and the price is clearly marked, it really costs money and does not want to die, I have heard it for the first time in my life! Today is an insight! ”
"Otherwise, how could the Brotherhood get rich?! Do the math, if all these people take money to redeem it, how much money is that!? ”
"That's it, the Brotherhood is sending again! This trade is done! ”
"How can it be so good, look at those soldiers, all dressed in rags, and it's not worth a lot of money to sell them, where is the money to redeem themselves?"
"The Brotherhood won't eat at all! Even if these people don't have the money to redeem themselves, they have to do a few years of day work. ”
"Isn't that the same as kidnapping?"
"This is a war, these people are defeated soldiers, the brotherhood can deal with it as it wants, and if you don't kill prisoners, it's already considered kind."
……
Zheng Baihu, Old Man Xiao, Xiao Qingyun and others in the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, Zheng Baihu stretched his neck, looked at the old soldier, rejoiced, his eyebrows danced, and said to Old Man Xiao: "Uncle, do you think the babies can succeed?" ”
When Zheng Baihu asked, Old Man Xiao, Xiao Qingyun, Xiao Qingyang and others were stunned, and then they also realized this, if the brotherhood becomes a thing, then I am afraid that the world will change, and when the time comes...... Some of them looked a little fascinated.
Old Man Xiao took a breath and said with a serious face: "What can they do with such nonsense!" ”
However, anyone can hear that Old Man Xiao is a little insincere, haven't those boys in the Brotherhood always been nonsense?! It's not such a big family business now, and now even the army of the imperial court has been defeated, maybe you can really win the world in the future, even if you can't win the world, it will be amazing, but unfortunately, they can't talk about the matter of the brotherhood at all.
Old Man Xiao saw that everyone had different expressions, and said: "This time I won by luck, and next time I won't be sure." ”
When everyone heard this, their hearts were cold, and their excitement and crankiness calmed down, but they were not as apprehensive as they were at first, and they did not say anything more, watching the Brotherhood settle prisoners of war.
No matter what the people around them said, the staff of the Brotherhood were not affected, and the work of resettling the prisoners of war was carried out in an orderly manner, but it was estimated that there were enough people and a clear division of labor, and they were tired enough to be busy until late to clean up.
The next day, another captive was escorted outside the city of Lingzhou, and many people ran to see the excitement again, but this time it was accompanied by the army of the Brotherhood, and the leader of the Brotherhood appeared, and everyone rushed to watch.
"It's so majestic!"
"What an elite soldier, acting in unison, like a person!"
"Everyone is wearing armor!"
"What a beautiful war horse!"
"Why are there bears?"
"I became a general at a young age, and I will pay it back in the future!"
……
People talked a lot, even if some people secretly scolded the thieves or something, they had to admit that the army of the Brotherhood was extremely imposing, acting in unison, giving people an extremely elite feeling at a glance, and the leader of the Brotherhood was even more good-looking, riding on tall and beautiful horses, each wearing different styles and styles of armor, indescribably majestic.
This time, it was Xiao Tianbao, Leng Lie's turn to escort prisoners of war, Xiao Tianlei and a few brothers, this time they were all in battle, but the affairs of the rear also had to be dealt with, so they had to take turns running between the rear and the front line, during which they did some affairs such as escorting prisoners of war and materials, and officially started the war, and they were no longer hidden, each of them was in armor, and the shape was strange but beautiful armor and weapons, which were eye-catching. Xiao Tianbao is a more conspicuous one, his face makes him look very young, and his actual age is not very old, the Crimson Moon style armor of the Furious Heart is bloody and gorgeous, and the thunder lying on Xiao Tianbao's back has attracted a lot of attention.
"Tempo! Tempo! ”
After handing over some affairs of the prisoners of war, Xiao Tianbao was about to return, when he heard a woman's shout, and when he turned around, he saw a girl in white, but it was Qin Yue. Now there are too many affairs of the brotherhood, and many people from the hall have been transferred to Lingzhou City, so Qin Yue also went to Lingzhou City.
"Sister Yue, what's the matter?" Xiao Tianbao asked, as a relative of a relative, and in the same brotherhood, he and Qin Yue often met and talked, but they would not involve the secrets of the brotherhood.
"Your armor is so good......" Qin Yue said with some envy, staring at Xiao Tianbao's armor with his eyes, shining.
Hearing Qin Yue's praise and the envious eyes, Xiao Tianbao's vanity was also greatly satisfied, and he couldn't help but puff up his chest and said proudly: "That's!" This is the ...... I have saved with all my hard work" Halfway through speaking, Xiao Tianbao hurriedly stopped his mouth, realizing that he almost missed his mouth.
"Save! How to save? Can I save too? Qin Yue couldn't help but be curious, and looked at Xiao Tianbao with some expectation.
"Uh...... Did I say that? Xiao Tianfu looked like he didn't remember, and he raised his vigilance in his heart, for fear of being tricked.
"You said it!" Qin Yue crossed his waist and said with great certainty.
Xiao Tianbao's face was also thin, and he blushed slightly, before he said, "Ahem...... You can't. ”
"Why not?" Qin Yue asked.
"You don't fight, you don't need armor." Xiao Tianbao gave a plausible explanation.
"Then I can have it if I fight with you?" Qin Yue asked again.
"Uh...... Then I don't know......" Xiao Tianbao said perfunctorily.
Qin Yue knew that he couldn't ask anything, his eyes rolled wildly, but he noticed that Xiao Tianbao had a big cross dart shuriken hanging around his waist, and in addition, there were some small shurikens pinned to him, which were very delicate and beautiful.
"Huh...... What is that? Qin Yue suddenly pointed behind Xiao Tianbao and said in surprise.
Xiao Tianbao looked back, Qin Yue took the opportunity to grab Xiao Tianbao's waist, pulled out a shuriken, and ran away, generally running happily: "Ha!" It's mine! ”
"Huh?! …… Alas! Sister Yue, pay me back, that's mine! Xiao Tianbao found out that he was very annoyed, he was deceived by the trick of the child, and he lost his life! Moreover, the shuriken that Qin Yue took away was systematically synthesized, and each one was very precious!
Qin Yue didn't care at all, took the shuriken and drilled into the crowd, and disappeared in a few clicks.
Xiao Tianbao rode a horse and had nowhere to go, and the private chat system informed Xiao Tianlei of this matter, and a few people were fine, if Qin Yue didn't return it, could he still be rude to Qin Yue? I can only give up, anyway, it's a shuriken, Xiao Tianbao has now gathered a lot of game gold, as long as you find some purple gold, you can upgrade the equipment, and the shuriken should be replenished back by then, and it will be good, originally, every time you upgrade, the number of Xiao Tianbao's shuriken is increasing.
Qin Yue ran back to his residence directly, pushed open the door and shouted proudly: "Mother, look, I snatched it from that kid in Tianbao!" ”
Qin Yue entered the city, Qin Su also followed her to Lingzhou City, and when she saw Qin Yue excitedly showing off, Qin Su thought it was a treasure, but she saw a delicate and unique hidden weapon in Qin Yue's hand, and she didn't care about it at first, but when Qin Yue handed the shuriken into her hand, Qin Su looked at it carefully, showed a dignified face, and entered the shuriken into the qi, and the shuriken suddenly spun up quickly, flashing with lightning, and a thin cold light on the edge. Qin Su pulled out a dagger and slammed the dagger into the shuriken, the dagger was easily cut, and the shuriken only slowed down slightly.
"What a weapon!" Qin Su praised.
"Mother, I heard Tianbao say that he worked hard to save a set of armor and weapons, I asked him how he saved it, he just didn't show his mouth, this secret weapon is good, you let me do the same." Qin Yue begged.
Qin Su smiled bitterly and said: "Yue'er, such a sharp weapon, even if the materials are complete, ordinary master craftsmen may not be able to create it, where can my mother find someone to give you a set." ”
Qin Yue was stunned for a moment, and said distressedly: "However, Cousin Lei, Jincai, and Tianbao all have good looks and are so majestic, and people want a set." ”
“……”
Qin Su was silent, she really couldn't meet her daughter's extravagant expectations, one or two weapons might be fine, but such a set would cost a lot of financial resources and manpower! Qin Su became more and more curious, what is the figure behind the brotherhood? Or which denomination? It's a pity that those boys at the top of the Brotherhood are extremely xenophobic, and outsiders can't enter the core of the Brotherhood at all, and naturally they can't know the secrets of the Brotherhood.
For the cognition of the brotherhood, others can only guess from some appearances, the various measures of the brotherhood in the past, ordinary people seem to be completely nonsense, people are confused, people look at the flowers in the fog, and they can't see it really, and now the brotherhood is rebelling, and all kinds of things are done, which can be regarded as revealing some things hidden under the surface, but the previous doubts have not been solved, making people feel that the brotherhood is unfathomable, and it is not as simple as Shanyue man-made rebellion. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the changes in Lingzhou during this period of time, many people were stunned and couldn't believe their eyes. The wanton use of mechanical techniques, exquisite armor technology, and powerful weapons that have never been heard of before, you can see some shadows of Xuanzong; A series of regulations were promulgated, covering various aspects and in astonishing detail, which seems to be the style of the Fa Sect; In a short period of time, the young and strong people of Shanyue can be trained into strong soldiers, and the order is prohibited, and the method of training soldiers is peculiar, and it seems that only the people of the military sect have the ability...... In short, the forces behind the Brotherhood must not be simple.
In general, there are many forces that pay attention to the Brotherhood, but in the past, most of them paid attention to the Brotherhood because of the Brotherhood's money, until Shanyue rebelled, many people "suddenly realized", but they reduced their attention and despised the Brotherhood a little.
The news of the Brotherhood's victory against the Southern Army reached the ears of many people through various channels and at the fastest speed, and the world shook. (To be continued.) )
