A few miles away from Xinling City, the newly completed venue, the Brotherhood Art Troupe is performing new plays, the stands that can accommodate tens of thousands of people are full, some vendors selling snacks in the aisle are constantly busy, one by one smiling, with the performance on the stage, the stands erupt from time to time with warm applause and cheers, and the whole venue is full of cheerful atmosphere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
During this year's New Year's Festival, Lingzhou is more lively than in previous years, there is a festive and lively scene everywhere, one is that all walks of life in Lingzhou are now very prosperous, and the people's lives are also stable, and secondly, of course, the Brotherhood defeated the Ming Army and the rebel army, and people are completely relieved, looking at the momentum of the Brotherhood, at least for a long time, the rule of the Brotherhood is as stable and unshakable as Mount Tai.
The brotherhood occupies Yuezhou and Maozhou, which also means that many people can finally get the fields, originally there were not many fields in Lingzhou, and they have long been divided, and now they occupy Yuezhou and Maozhou, driving away those big households, and the war has taken away many people, leaving a large area of land, and people are naturally happy.
At this time, Xiao Tianlei was sitting in a private room, and there were several beautiful women sitting next to him, but he had a straight face, if he could, Xiao Tianlei was willing to go outside, and the atmosphere in the private room was really not very good.
"Brother Tianlei, this is for you to eat!"
Qi Wushuang stuffed snacks into Xiao Tianlei's mouth, very intimate, if Xiao Tianlei was usually not treated, in other words, Xiao Tianbao had already coaxed Yunzhu to bed, and he had not made much progress with Qi Wushuang, and learned some lessons from his previous life, Xiao Tianlei tried to take the initiative, but helplessly Qi Wushuang was more conservative, holding her little hand and hugging her, she was so ashamed that she would be like a thief, for fear of letting anyone see it.
Two days ago, Qi Wushuang's mood was still a little low, the reason was very simple, she was supposed to be a family reunion, but she was separated from her parents, so Xiao Tianlei specially asked Bingfeng to fly to the Shendu and bring a letter to her parents. It wasn't until he received a reply from his parents that he cheered up and happily came to see the performance.
Because of the war with the counterinsurgency army, and occupied Yuezhou and Maozhou, Xiao Tianlei has not rested, and when he came back to watch the performance today, he wanted to relax.
Na Xiao got the venue, met his parents and Aunt Seven, and immediately shouted to tell Xiao Tianlei one thing, Xiao Tianlei's parents and grandparents gave him a family affair!
Xiao Tianlei was completely unprepared, this was too sudden, if he told Xiao Tianlei alone, in addition to praying for Wushuang, there were also Xue Lihua and Qin Yue at this time, everyone was happy to watch the performance together, this time, although there was nothing on the surface, even if Xiao Tianlei was not very good at observing words and feelings, there was also a feeling of depression before the storm.
After that, regardless of whether Xiao Tianlei agreed or not, he directly took the woman to the private room where Xiao Tianlei and the others were.
This woman's origin is not simple, she is a princess of Beiliang, named Helan Xiaoxiao, she is indeed very beautiful, it can be said that she is amazing, and her appearance is a little mixed-race, which is very attractive.
Xiao Tianlei only glanced at it, he didn't dare to look more, he felt two sharp gazes, coming from Xue Lihua and Qin Yue, his arm was pinched, it was dried by Qi Wushuang, and after that, Qi Wushuang was very intimate with Xiao Tianlei, and he was stuffed with a bunch of snacks, and his mouth was full of sweetness and greasy, which was not a pleasant thing.
In fact, Helan Xiao Xiao has been in Lingzhou for a period of time, Xiao Tianyou has always wanted to take her to meet Xiao Tianlei, but Xiao Tianlei has been fighting, Xiao Tianlei simply introduced Helan Xiao Xiao to the seven aunts and eight aunts of the Xiao family, and said the meaning of marriage, not to mention the benefits of marriage with the Beiliang royal family, Xiao Tianlei's mother Jiang, that is wishing that her son would marry a few more daughters-in-law, whether he is a princess or not, and Helan Xiao Xiao is indeed very pleasing, there is no princess shelf, but it is like an ordinary lady, knowledgeable and polite, Therefore, the Jiang family and the other people of the Xiao family were very fond of it, and happily agreed to this family business.
For this situation, Xiao Tianlei was also a little helpless, for his parents and relatives, he couldn't get angry, so he could only find a way to deal with this matter.
After the performance that day, Xiao Tianlei found his aunt and sister, and mentioned the matter, saying that there were already a few girls he liked, and there could be no more.
The Jiang family also saw Xue Lihua, Xue Lihua's appearance and temperament, they were all first-class, and they liked it when they saw it.
"Married together!"
Jiang said this softly and skillfully, giving Xiao Tianlei an encouraging look, and the other aunts and aunts also applauded again and again, and even Xiao Qinghe, who was usually honest, nodded in agreement. When the two of them thought of their son marrying a few daughters-in-law and giving birth to a dozen of his grandchildren, they were so happy to think about it.
Seriously, Xiao Tianlei wants to, but it also depends on whether the girl is willing or not! Don't talk about others, just say these aunts and aunts, if their own man wants to marry the second room, it is estimated that he will have to jump eight feet high, and he will not agree to live or die, and now they encourage him to marry a few more, it is a complete double standard, Xiao Tianlei also doesn't know what to say, so he has to think of his own ideas.
As a result, Xiao Tianlei still didn't come up with a way to deal with it, in terms of emotional intelligence, he was indeed relatively low, Xiao Tianlei wanted to chat with Xue Lihua and them in private, but unfortunately, it was just that a few girls were always together, I don't know what they muttered a day, Xiao Tianlei couldn't find a chance, so he could only devote his energy to some affairs and research. Instructing some technology and handling government affairs are complicated, most of them are boring, and some of them are not good.
With the development and expansion of the brotherhood, there will inevitably be some internal problems, corruption and corruption, although there are also factors such as the original customs and customs, Xiao Tianlei will never tolerate these guys, and set up strict punishment regulations to nip them in the bud.
For these strict regulations, some people privately complained that the water was clear and there were no fish or anything, Xiao Tianlei still left no room for anything, and directly announced that those who were not satisfied could get out, there was a lack of everything in this world, that is, there was no shortage of people, and the brotherhood was not a pond for raising fish.
There are also things that make Xiao Tianlei happier, for example, he can finally say goodbye to oil lamps and candles, and use electric lights, in fact, he dismantled the steam robot and pulled a wire into the house. Therefore, what Xiao Tianlei did was mainly to get a primitive hydraulic wire drawing machine, and finally made a wire, wrapped with a layer of insulating material, which was a little less efficient, and finally made a qualified wire. Since the wires have been made, it means that a series of items such as electromagnets and motors can be made in the future, and if this continues, Xiao Tianlei feels that he may be able to live a more comfortable modern life in his lifetime.
As for the chaos in the world, the heroes rise together, and compete for hegemony in the world or something, Xiao Tianlei didn't think much about it at all, occupying the land of Sanzhou, the brotherhood is already a force, but Xiao Tianlei does not plan to participate in the game called fighting for hegemony in the world, and intends to develop farming with peace of mind.
The Great Xia court has basically existed in name only, although there are now some princes vying for the throne, but how much power can these princes have? It's just puppets of some forces, and pushing them out is nothing more than taking advantage of the name of Great Xia. Originally, the birth of the emperor was often produced by the compromise of the family, and the emperor could not really be completely in charge, but only as a representative of an interest group.
The so-called battle for world domination can also be said to be a game of the big families, each supporting some forces, or betting on multiple parties to see who has the last laugh.
Specifically, in fact, it is to compete for territory, get more population, resources, although it will also develop farming, but that is the real farming, mainly that is, Tuntian, in essence, the hegemony of the world mainly depends on war, robbery, big forces swallow up small forces, fight and compromise between various forces, one by one, generals, strategists on this stage to interpret their own lives, countless people struggle to survive, some survive, some die.
No matter who wins or loses, in the end, the dynastic system established will not change much, and many years later, it will be another reincarnation.
From the beginning, Xiao Tianlei took a different route, there was no need to play with them, to be honest, under such a set of rules, Xiao Tianlei didn't think he could play those people.
Fighting for dominance in the world is not empty talk, it takes a lot of price, behind every successful person is countless corpses, you fight for me, conspiracies, tricks, think about it, it is not such a pleasant thing.
Now that the Brotherhood occupies the land of Lingzhou, Yuezhou, and Maozhou, coupled with the vast territory of Funan, it is no problem to establish a country, which is enough to develop for a short period of time, operate well, and truly lay a solid foundation.
The current strength is not enough, Xiao Tianlei still intends to keep a low profile and develop silently.
Therefore, when some other forces in the world expanded their armies and attacked each other, the three states under the rule of the Brotherhood were relatively calm, except for some minor frictions with the neighboring states of Yuezhou and Maozhou, and there were no large-scale military operations.
Although after the battle with the Ming army and the rebels, the Brotherhood can be said to be famous all over the world, but the Brotherhood still relies on geographical advantages and some new weapons, so in the eyes of outsiders, the Brotherhood is still limited in strength. Even if it occupies Yuezhou and Maozhou, the brotherhood just picks up the cheap, and it is still a corner of the peace, not seeking to improve.
In fact, the Brotherhood has been expanding, but there are many ways to expand, in addition to absorbing resources and population through trade, and exploring some unknown and unfamiliar areas.
What is the purpose of fighting for the world? For other forces, it is nothing more than for the population and territory, what the Brotherhood needs is resources, all kinds of resources...... The world is so big, why should it be confined to one place? Why fight to the death with those people for a piece of territory that has been almost developed?
For the people of Great Xia, the world is nothing more than the existing territories of Great Xia, and the other regions are all barbarians, and the people of Great Xia are full of pride in the Heavenly Empire. And the vision of the Brotherhood has long been not limited to these areas of Great Xia, but has been projected into a broader world, and it has long begun to try to explore and understand.
For example, the Brotherhood has been learning about some information from the West and overseas through some merchants or maritime merchants from the West, and the Sea Shark Army under the Brotherhood has also been exploring the sea and drawing nautical charts, and now they have sailed far away, discovered many islands, and found some strange properties on them.
Because of the fragmentation of Great Xia and the wars in Middle-earth and other states, some regions on the border have also been in chaos, losing their original system and no longer being concerned.
Xiao Tianlei discussed with a group of brothers, and some brothers took some soldiers and horses to attack north, preparing to attack Mozhou first.
The reason for attacking Mozhou was mainly because of the chaos in Great Xia, and the Western Regions Protectorate followed suit, and the order of Mozhou and the Western Regions that was already vulnerable completely collapsed, and the cavalry of the Western Regions Protectorate was plundering in the open and bright on the trade routes, charging high tolls, which seriously hindered the trade routes.
It was not only the cavalry of the Brotherhood who went to Mozhou, but also recruited some cavalry from Rongzhou to launch an invasion of Mozhou together.
Just last year, the various tribes of Rongzhou united, purchased weapons and armor from Lingzhou to form a large army, and with some guidance and assistance from the Brotherhood, they drove away the Great Xia army stationed in Rongzhou, and Rongzhou has now been freed from the rule of the Great Xia court. Rongzhou has always maintained good trade with Lingzhou, the life of the herdsmen has been greatly improved, it can be said that through the trade of dairy products, wool and minerals, Rongzhou has basically become a subsidiary of Lingzhou, the witch doctor of the Wushen Sect has entered Rongzhou, and has won the belief of many Rong people, and now, many Rong people want to do things in Lingzhou, even if it is a tour, it is enough to brag about it when they go back.
As an important institution guarding the western part of Great Xia, the Western Regions Protectorate has a lot of troops, but the Western Regions Protectorate has a fatal point, without the food supply of Great Xia, they will fall into a starvation situation, choking this lifeline, the Western Regions Protectorate can't jump up at all, and if you use the right tactics, you can clean it up without much effort.
This time, Xiao Tianlei still stayed in Lingzhou to preside over various affairs, the brothers were fighting outside, the gold coins in Xiao Tianlei's system were also increasing, and now Xiao Tianlei's brothers have obtained the right hero template, there are no other qualified people for the time being, Xiao Tianlei can buy some hero templates that have not been purchased one by one, and try them one by one, the lol system is Xiao Tianlei's biggest reliance, he has always wanted to figure it out, but it is not so easy, it is difficult to earn gold coins to buy hero templates, many hero templates can be used after purchase, although they can be used, However, either you can't cast some skills, or you can't synthesize equipment, especially some special hero templates, except for Xiao Tianlei himself, you can't find someone who can match, or you need some special conditions to match, all of which have to be slowly explored and experimented by Xiao Tianlei.
Xiao Tianlei is more keen on buying some special hero templates, because they often bring unexpected gains, for example, one of the hero templates he recently purchased is the Dragon's Blood Warrior Ji Sivana, and the Dragon's Blood Warrior Ji's skills in the game are:
Dragonborn - Sivana gains armor bonuses and magic resistance bonuses. These bonuses are increased while Shivana is in Dragon form.
Dragon's Tooth Thrust – Sivana's next attack will deliver two hits. Each Normal Attack reduces the cooldown of Dragon's Tooth Spike by 0.5 seconds.
Flames – Sivana envelops herself in flames, dealing damage to nearby enemies every second and moving faster for 3 seconds.
Flame Breath – Sivana unleashes a fireball that deals magic damage to all targets in its path, leaving a residue of molten armor on the target for 5 seconds. Shivana's normal attack on the marked target deals additional damage based on the target's maximum health.
Descend the Dragon - Sivana transforms into a dragon and flies towards the target area. Enemies along the way take magic damage and are shocked into her target area.
Dragon's Tooth Spike, Flame Flame, Flame Breath, the three skills are nothing more than martial arts with the nature of flames, after the Demon Dragon was used in the world, it condensed an almost physical Flame Demon Dragon with Gang Qi, which was extremely powerful, although it didn't last long. However, what really made Xiao Tianlei more concerned was the passive skill of dragon blood.
At first, Xiao Tianlei didn't care, thinking that it was a short-term increase, but after using this hero template, as time went by, he clearly felt that his body gradually became stronger, and the improvement of mental power was especially obvious, even if he didn't use the dragon blood martial arts template, this change was not eliminated, all Xiao Tianlei could think of was the passive skill of dragon blood, did he really get the so-called dragon blood?
