"If Xiao Tianlei didn't come out to see us today, we wouldn't leave! What!? Being a thief, you can't stand it! Even if he comes, we will still call him a thief, see what he can say!"

Outside the Pudu Temple, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were shouting loudly, like two wives who were tantrums, their voices were hoarse and their faces were full of anger. Even Xiao Tianlu, who was usually more restrained, was venting his emotions. The two were originally studying in Yingzhou, making many friends, and their lives were quite comfortable. Unexpectedly, the news of the rebellion of the Brotherhood came, and the two were frightened to death. Rebellion was a serious crime that implicated the nine clans. As cousins ​​of the thief, they naturally had to be implicated. Their lives were worried about hiding in the house and did not dare to go out, nor did they dare to go back to Lingzhou. They thought that the Brotherhood would definitely be wiped out by the court. Wouldn't they fall into the trap when they returned?

Originally, this matter did not involve Xiao Yi's Xiao family. Later, the brothers won the victory of the Southern Army, and some changes occurred. After some twists and turns, the two returned to Lingzhou together with Xiao Yi's Xiao family's head Xiao Qinghe and others.

The two of them passed for a while with fear and were full of anger. When they returned to Lingzhou, they had to register or something when they passed the customs. Even if they were from Lingzhou or relatives of the fraternity leader, they would not violate it at all. When they entered Lingzhou, they saw that Lingzhou was completely different from what they thought. They knew it was created by the fraternity, and they didn't like it no matter how they saw it. When they arrived in Lingzhou, they went directly to Xiao Tianlei to raise an army to question him, but they just blocked the guards and said that the leader was not idle. The two of them immediately exploded and started to make a noise at the gate of Pudu Temple, which made Xiao Qinghe and others who were accompanying were also stunned, and they didn't know how to persuade the two.

The more the two of them cursed, the more ugly they heard. The guards of Shanyue soldiers looked at them, and the eyes of them became colder and colder. If they hadn't claimed to be the leader's cousin, they would have beaten him up long ago and would have been slaughtered.

Just when Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were quarreling, Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianyou had already arrived at the door. When they saw Xiao Qinghe and others, they also saw Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu barking like mad dogs. Xiao Tianlei felt it was interesting. After looking at it for a while, the ice energy condensed in his hands.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Two loud slaps made Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu turn around and say, "You want to see me, I have been here for a long time, but you haven't seen it. You are really very involved in scolding!"

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were slapped, their faces were cold and hot, and they were both cold and hot. Only then did they realize that Xiao Tianlei was coming. When they heard the calm and indifferent tone, they suddenly became hoarse and could not help but tremble. When they saw his unhappy and playful face, they somehow became a little scared.

Xiao Tianrong stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao Tianlei, you finally figured it out! You hit me!"

"Help you wake up, no thanks! What are you asking me for? Tell me quickly, I'm very busy." Xiao Tianlei was a little impatient.

"What's the matter! What did you say?" Seeing that Xiao Tianlei was completely like a person who was fine, Xiao Tianrong was so angry that he jumped straight into anger.

Xiao Tianlu stepped forward and said, "You rebelled and caused us to be implicated. What did you ask us about??"

Xiao Tianrong continued: "You want to give us an explanation!"

Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were aggressive, but Xiao Tianlei's next words almost choked the two of them to death. Xiao Tianlei said in confusion: "Are you implicated? Why are you still jumping around here? Instructions, what else do you need to explain to you two? If you die, you will be unlucky." Everyone present could hear that Xiao Tianlei didn't care about their lives and deaths at all.

"You" Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were trembling and couldn't speak.

"Stop talking nonsense. You are mentally abnormal. You just made a noise at the door, so forget it." Xiao Tianlei said magnanimously, and finally added: "If you complain to me again, I will ask someone to deal with you!"

Xiao Tianlei said it lightly, but Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu knew that Xiao Tianlei did what he said. He slapped twice just now and felt a slight pain. Seeing that the soldiers around him were eager to try and looked malicious, he was so scared that he took a few steps back. Even if he was angry, he could only hold it in his arms.

"It's better to see than to hear it. How could Xiao have a rebellious son like you who is disrespectful and ignorant!" A middle-aged scholar stood behind Xiao Qinghe and said sternly.

Xiao Tianlei glanced at the scholar. He didn't know him, so where did he jump out? He dressed up with a noble look and looked arrogant. His identity was probably extraordinary. However, Xiao Tianlei cared completely. This place was his territory. The tiger was lying on his lie, and the dragon was slanted. He glanced at him slantedly and asked, "Which onion are you?"

"" Such an irresponsible question was difficult for middle-aged scholars to answer.

Xiao Qinghe came out and introduced: "Nephew, this is Uncle Mu from the General's Mansion in Zhenguo."

Xiao Tianlei had no intention of listening halfway through hearing it. The name of the General's Mansion in Zhenguo sounded quite majestic, but so what? He said with no interest: "I don't know."

The Mu family of the General of Zhenguo! Xiao Tianyou, who was beside him, became alert. The General of Zhenguo's status in the Daxia Dynasty is not low. The Mu family must have some purpose in going to Lingzhou. He did not interrupt and listened carefully.

Xiao Qinghe was really helpless about Xiao Tianlei's reaction and thought to himself: Of course, I know you don't know, but you can't have a little politeness and common sense? Stop it casually?

Xiao Qinghe had to patiently talk about the relationship, but this was because Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu were studying in Xiaoyi Xiao family and met some friends, including a young man from the Mu family, who asked about his family background. This was also a habit of literati communication. They dug up some of the things from their ancestors and could not say that they had a relationship. Originally, the Chinese and Tu tribes had been intermarried all the time, and they were basically related to each other for several generations. However, this time, Xiao Tianrong, Xiao Tianlu and the young man of the Mu family really realized that the relationship between the two families was still

Not to mention the friendship between the Xiao family of Langya County and the ancestors of the Mu family, the current old lady in the General's Mansion of Zhenguo is the cousin of Xiao Tianlei's grandmother Ye. She had a very good relationship when she was young, but she was separated many years ago and had not found her whereabouts. When she learned about the whereabouts of her cousin, the old lady of Mu family was extremely happy and wanted to ask Ye to see him at Shendu. But she didn't know that the rebellion of the Brotherhood was delayed. Then the Brotherhood won the Southern Army and the court had no way to deal with this matter for a while.

When the General Zhenguo Mansion learned the inside story and this kind of kinship, he hoped to handle the matter peacefully. After moving in the court, Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Tianrong, Xiao Tianlu and others visited Lingzhou. Mu Shuwen was one of the few scholars in the Mu Mansion. His official position in the court is not low now. This time he came here, he can also be regarded as the world of the court. However, the court was unable to hold back and would not send formal envoys. Mu Shuwen's task was to convey some of the meanings of the court and explore the tone of the Brotherhood.

"Nephew, it's all a family, you can discuss things if you have something to do, and discuss them!" Xiao Qinghe advised that the brothers will rebel, and the Xiao family in Xiaoyi is not easy, for fear of being implicated.

Xiao Tianlei was speechless to Xiao Qinghe. What does it mean to be a family? It is easy to discuss. Can business and private affairs be confused? However, under the feudal system of this world, family affairs and state affairs are sometimes confused. However, Xiao Tianlei did not let any messy kinship relationships involve matters involving the development of Lingzhou.

Without Mu Shuwen's words, Xiao Tianlei knew that it was nothing more than just persuading the Brotherhood to surrender to the court. Without waiting for Mu Shuwen to speak, he said, "If you persuade me to surrender, it's fine. Lingzhou is the territory of my Brotherhood. Either the well water will not violate the rivers or the truth will be seen on the battlefield! When you arrive in Lingzhou, you will abide by the rules of my Brotherhood. If you don't follow the rules, don't blame us for being rude. Okay, after the official business, this is the place where my Brotherhood works. If you have private affairs, go to other places to say that I have no private affairs with you. If you meet relatives and friends, go to Zhengjiazhuang, and I won't be with you."

Xiao Tianlei didn't have time to talk nonsense with these people, so he drove people straight away, then ignored everyone's reactions and turned back to Pudu Temple.

"What an arrogant boy!"

Mu Shuwen's face turned pale and said angrily. He heard Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Tianlu talk about Xiao Tianlei's temper along the way. He didn't believe it. Now he has seen that it is even more arrogant and domineering than the two said, and it is completely willful and arbitrary. However, he is a wise man and dare not act. Lingzhou is indeed the territory of the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood's style is famous, and his original status cannot provide him with any guarantee. As for the matter explained by the court, there is no need to talk to Xiao Tianlei at all. He can only find another way. Even if it doesn't work, it's okay to have a tentative foundation.

Xiao Tianlei left, and Xiao Qinghe took the time to greet Xiao Tianyou, and introduced Mu Shuwen and Xiao Tianyou to each other. When Mu Shuwen heard Xiao Tianyou's name, he was from Beiliang. He contacted previous rumors and some information he had heard, stared at Xiao Tianyou and said, "Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Tianyou, Dadu Department of the Northern Liang South Guard Office, and Empress Dowager Xiao's son and nephew."

After experiencing the war in Bailuyuan, Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou performed very well. Xiao Tianzuo had become the general of Beiliang. Xiao Tianyou was naturally promoted to the position of the Grand Duke of the Southern Guard. He was pointed out by Mu Shuwen. Xiao Tianyou was not panicked, and his expression was as normal as he did not deny or affirm. He just smiled and said, "Mu Shilang, I am lucky to meet you!" Xiao Tianyou also pointed out Mu Shuwen's official position in the Daxia court, which was equivalent to acquiesce to his own identity.

Mu Shuwen was shocked and sighed with a sense of impermanence in the world. A large clan with a very historical history among the Xiao clan of Langya, has produced many loyal ministers and righteous men in all dynasties. Now, one has become a royal relative of Beiliang, led the army to fight against Daxia, and the other has become a thief. But the court had no choice but to deal with them for a while. However, what Mu Shuwen cares even more was that he was sure that Xiao Tianyou was not here to visit Lingzhou or visit relatives, and he must have a purpose. Could it be for the firearms of the Brotherhood?!

Xiao Qinghe and others were not stupid people. Through some of the words of the two, they probably understood Xiao Tianyou's identity. They were all dumbfounded. It was really surprising! Xiao Qinghe, the head of Xiao family of Xiao Yi, looked bitter and sighed. What should we say? The Xiao family of Langya County was exiled, and one became a royal relative of Northern Liang, Qilingzhou, this one became a rebel. It occupied a state of Xiao family, so that Xiao family of Xiao Yi, would he deal with it in the future?

After understanding the other party's identity, Xiao Tianyou and Mu Shuwen were not nervous. After a few conversations, they seemed to have become friends I had not met for a long time. The outsiders could not understand the confrontation between them. On the surface, they were getting along very well, talking and laughing.

Afterwards, a group of people set off for Zhengjiazhuang, Cangshan Prefecture. Along the way, they naturally saw some new things in Lingzhou, such as some novel crops in the fields, as well as the yield of field crops, many lively construction sites, some special buildings, huge water trucks and other machinery.

Xiao Tianyou was thinking about how to get some Lingzhou things to Beiliang. Mu Shuwen's expression became more and more serious. He originally thought that the Brotherhood was just a group of rampant thieves, but now he realized that the Brotherhood was not ordinary thieves. He managed Lingzhou like this in a short time. Over time, it would be a big trouble for the court.

When we arrived at Zhengjiazhuang, the group was surprised again. It was not that there was anything special about Zhengjiazhuang. On the contrary, Zhengjiazhuang was too ordinary. Except for a high wall, it was no different from ordinary villages, and it was the same as many villages in Daxia. However, some new houses were being built not far from Zhengjiazhuang, but they had not yet been completed, and the style was the same as those in many villages in Lingzhou.

When they entered Zhengjiazhuang and arrived at the Xiao family's old house, everyone couldn't help but wonder that the brotherhood had such a great power and the money industry were famous. Several boys from the Xiao family all had a very high status in the brotherhood. However, the old Xiao family's old house in Zhengjiazhuang was very simple and could be said to be shabby. It was just an ordinary house in a rural area. The whole family was dressed very rustic. They didn't see anyone wearing silk, satin, or some expensive ornaments, nor did they see any slaves.

Even though he was confused, Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Qinghe, Mu Shuwen and others didn't say anything, and they paid homage to him according to etiquette.

The people who received the group were naturally the leader of the Xiao family. Xiao Tianlei's grandfather, Mr. Xiao, and several clan elders. When Mr. Xiao heard that it was Xiao's relatives who were visiting, he felt aroused. They knew the identity of the Beiliang relatives from Xiao Tianlei. Now that they suddenly came to visit, they didn't know how to deal with it, and it was not easy to neglect them. They hurried out to greet them and welcomed the crowd into the old house to serve tea.

Xiao Qinghe, Xiao Tianyou, Mu Shuwen and others did not rely on their identities, and they all regarded themselves as juniors according to some of the etiquettes of the clan.

After greetings and introducing each other, even if they had some guesses about the identity of the visiting relatives, they actually met and introduced them, and the members of the Xiao family were still shocked. Xiao Tianyou and others did not mention it, saying that they were representing Empress Dowager Xiao from Beiliang to visit Mr. Xiao and others, and also gave many valuable gifts. Mu Shuwen was also on behalf of the old lady of the General's Mansion to pay homage to Xiao Tianlei's grandmother Ye. The first time the Xiao family knew that there was such a relative, who was also at the level of a marquis in Daxia.

All the people who came here are big names!

Not to mention other tribes, Mr. Xiao himself was a little guilty. Although he was born in the Xiao family of Langya County, he was just a branch in the past. Even if he had studied some books and some knowledge, he had never seen many big names in his life. Even if these people liked their younger generations, Mr. Xiao would inevitably be a little restrained and tried to act naturally.

Mr. Xiao also felt that he was quite glorious when he asked such big men to pay respectfully to him. However, if he could, he didn't really want to be in the current situation. Mr. Xiao knew in his heart that most of these relatives were still coming for the Brotherhood. The Brotherhood is now a traitor. Even if it is a temporary glory, how long can it last? However, it was useless for him to worry about the Brotherhood. He could only let it go. However, the purpose of these relatives came this time was difficult for him to figure out, and he was confused in his heart and responded carefully.

When they met at first, and they were concerned about each other's existence, Xiao Tianyou and Mu Shuwen were just chatting and greeting each other. It was impossible to say something too in-depth. Afterwards, Mr. Xiao invited Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Qinghe, Mu Shuwen and his group to live there. It happened that there was a happy event in the Xiao family recently, that was the marriage between Xiao Tianfu and Luo Cuilian. As a relative who came from afar, he naturally had to stay for a glass of wedding wine.

Xiao Tianyou, Xiao Qinghe, Mu Shuwen and others did not refuse. They planned to stay and see if there was any chance to achieve their goals. They could just explore the bottom of the Brotherhood. To be continued.
Chapter completed!
