Chapter 189: Strict
On the streets of Lingzhou City, looking at the bustling crowds of people and traffic, Gu Qi was at a loss. This was the third day he came to Lingzhou City. One of the purposes of Gu Qi coming to Lingzhou was to take revenge and seek revenge from the brothers!
Many years ago, one of Gu Qi's close relatives died at the hands of the Brotherhood. He vowed to be irreconcilable with the Brotherhood. One day, he would have to pay the blood debts for the Brotherhood. For this reason, he practiced martial arts hard and joined an assassin organization. When Gu Qi achieved his martial arts and felt that he had the ability to take revenge, he suddenly realized that the Brotherhood was already a giant and top force in the world! However, this did not hinder his determination to take revenge. Gu Qi decided to assassin leader of the Brotherhood. The glorious deeds of those assassin predecessors who were famous in history inspired him. Whenever he thought that he could successfully assassinate, he couldn't help but feel a little passionate and could not help himself.
So, Gu Qi resolutely entered the Xinghai Empire, but when he arrived at the corps territory, everything was very different from what he originally imagined.
Gu Qi did not enter as a refugee, and there was no one to guide him. Although when he entered, someone explained the rules that needed to be followed under the rule of the Brotherhood. He was full of thought about how to take revenge. He hated the Brotherhood, so he didn't listen carefully at all. People in the world need to abide by those rules? What the Brotherhood is not allowed to do, so he insisted on doing!
Three days later, Gu Qi completely regretted it. He just spitted casually, broke a piece of flowers and plants, or did not queue up, Gu Qi was fined or whipped one after another.
Gu Qi believed that he was fully capable of resisting or escaping, but in the face of preaching by people called urban management and the strange gazes of the crowd around him, Gu Qi had to accept the punishment. He knew in his heart that as a successful assassin, he had to know how to endure.
"Scribble and fine! If you don't have money, do you want to be a volunteer for an hour or a whip? Hey, I recognize you, the one who spits everywhere. I said why you don't change your teachings? Do you not understand the rules? Look at you who look like a human, and you have bad habits... the fine is doubled!" A man wearing a red sleeve preached like an aunt, and there were a group of people around him.
Gu Qi was blushing at this time, gritting his teeth and clenching his fists. He just wanted to make a mark, hoping to contact the people in Lingzhou City in the assassin organization he joined, so he drew a mark on the base of the wall at the entrance of a restaurant. As a result, he had just carved two strokes and was caught another one.
Faced with this situation many times, Gu Qi almost reached the limit of patience and could hardly help but want to draw his sword to kill the urban management in front of him. However, he was said to be a little inappropriate. Then he looked at the people around him and some soldiers patrolling on the street. He still had to pay a fine. Under the gaze of the urban management, he reluctantly erased the secret code, hoping that the organization's people had seen it.
Gu Qi's expectations failed, no one came to meet him, and he had to face a serious problem, and he was fined many times, and the consumption in Lingzhou City was high, so he didn't have much money!
When he was away, he could not move without money. Gu Qi had to put the matter of revenge aside and get some money first. As for how to make money, all he could think of was emergency rescue in the world, hoping to find some more generous and generous friends in the world.
The martial arts trend was very popular under the rule of the Brotherhood. It can be seen from many martial artists carrying weapons on the street that according to common sense, basically even if the martial artists are from the world, Gu Qi asked people about the more famous people in the world, and learned that some martial arts owners were more famous, and then came to visit them.
When he came into contact with these warriors in Lingzhou City, Gu Qi quickly realized something was wrong. Gu Qi was also a smart man. He chatted quietly. He soon realized that the warriors under the Brotherhood were already quite different from those in the Middle Earth. They did not have the heroic spirit of some people in the Middle Earth, and had more businessmen's shrewdness. The most important point was that they all abide by some rules set by the Brotherhood. What surprised Gu Qi was that these warriors did not feel bad about the control of the Brotherhood, but were keen on doing things for the Brotherhood. Gu Qi couldn't help but be glad that he was cautious enough. If he said he wanted to assassinate the leader of the Brotherhood, he would probably be captured immediately.
However, Gu Qi still found a way to make money, that is, to participate in the martial arts competition in Lingzhou City, that is, to compete.
When it comes to martial arts competition, in addition to resolving some conflicts and disputes through competition martial arts, it naturally reminds people of the martial arts association. Participating in the martial arts association is one of the important ways for martial arts to become famous. Through martial arts competitions, they are attracted by some powerful people and become successful, thus making a fortune. The martial arts competitions in Lingzhou City or Xinghai Empire are somewhat similar to those in the martial arts association, but there are many differences.
With so many warriors under the Brotherhood, there are inevitably some conflicts between them. According to the rules of the past, the two of them dislike each other and can fight each other anytime and anywhere, or make an appointment to fight to the death. However, it is not possible under the Brotherhood. Brotherhood does not prohibit private fights. Anyone who needs to resolve grudges can go to a special martial arts arena to resolve them. However, before the fight, a document must be signed, whether to fight or fight to the death, and write it clearly in black and white.
Originally, the competition between martial artists was one of the fun people like to watch, but in the past, the martial arts associations often had various rules and restrictions, which were not so easy for ordinary people to see, especially high-level fighting.
After the establishment of the martial arts arena, people have a place to watch the fun, and some martial arts contests became famous. The martial arts arena is lively every day, which has led to the popularity of the surrounding shops. Later, the leader of the Brotherhood proposed a system, and at this point, the competition began to be commercialized and events, and was also renamed the martial arts contest. After that, people entered the martial arts arena to buy tickets and buy prize tickets. The martial arts contestants, regardless of winning or losing, can earn a performance fee.
To this day, martial arts arenas have been built in various cities under the rule of the Brotherhood. Martial arts competitions are rarely held for personal grudges, but more of a commercial fight for fame and fortune. The martial arts are becoming more and more popular. Martial arts and martial arts are sought after by people. The appearance fees of these martial arts are astonishingly high. Especially later, the Brotherhood formed a league, and all the martial arts are played in the martial arts arenas. The martial arts competitions must be played one level after another until they enter the finals. Needless to say, fame can also be obtained, and the huge bonus provided by the Brotherhood. For ordinary people, it is definitely an astronomical figure.
Compared with the previous martial arts gatherings, fighting hard to attract the appreciation of the powerful and powerful is much safer, and the effect is immediate. You can get a lot of money after a fight, and winning a few more games will be enough for a lifetime. Therefore, the martial arts competition has attracted warriors from all sides to participate, hoping to become famous in one battle and gain both fame and fortune.
Gu Qi participated in the martial arts competition. He practiced martial arts hard for many years and finally got a relatively direct and generous reward. After playing a few games, he not only gained some fame, but also earned a lot of money. Gu Qi felt that his martial arts skills had also improved.
However, Gu Qi did not forget to take revenge, but at this time he realized that his previous ideas were really naive and naive. In Lingzhou City, on the territory of the Brotherhood, he was alone, completely disgraceful. He also figured out that outsiders like him had limited activity areas and could only stay in some big cities, let alone some confidential areas of the Brotherhood. So what if they were close? The Brotherhood masters were like clouds and the guards were tightly guarded.
There are many masters who are famous. Gu Qi is even more aware of the leader of the Brotherhood. He doesn't know who to seek revenge. It's hard to find any one. The leader of the Brotherhood has never been a show, and it's hard for outsiders to know. It is said that the leader of the Brotherhood has special weapons and armor. However, if he assassinates the leader of the Brotherhood wearing armor, Gu Qi is not that stupid. If he doesn't wear it, he will not recognize him even if he stands in front of him.
Moreover, the martial arts of the leaders of the Brotherhood are extremely high. They all have unique skills, and they hold magic weapons and wear treasure armor. Gu Qi was quite confident about his martial arts before, but since he participated in several martial arts competitions, he has a clearer understanding of his martial arts. Compared with those real masters in the martial arts competition, his martial arts can only be said to be quite reasonable.
What made Gu Qi even more helpless was that the brotherhood he had always hated was quite popular. If the people around him knew his plans, the consequences could be imagined.
Gu Qi racked his brains and came up with a clever plan to try to get into the Brotherhood and endure humiliation. There will be a day when a gentleman takes revenge for ten years! But is it so easy to join the Brotherhood?
Gu Qi asked after asking, and he could not join the fraternity without a good friend who was familiar with him. It was impossible for him to join the fraternity, and even the peripheral organizations were difficult. Joining the army was a road, but I don’t know how many people were looking forward to it, and it was not his turn to be an outsider. The only way was probably... If he could settle down here, marry a wife, and have a baby, if the baby is promising and promising, he might be able to join the fraternity and find an opportunity to avenge him. But Gu Qi was not sure that it would be feasible. He heard some adults whose children were in school that after entering the school, they became much smarter and understood more. He just listened to the school teachers and even more to the fraternity. The adults at home were not that effective.
Even if it works, it will take at least twenty years. Gu Qi is not sure that he can wait for that long, nor does he want to wait for that long. Besides, let his descendants take revenge? Gu Qi feels that he still has to do this by himself, but he really can't think of a way.
After some trouble, Gu Qi finally found a member of the Assassin organization and learned that the members of the organization in Lingzhou City had already gone their separate ways, either hiding their own names, getting married and having children, or going to business, or even going to Funan, Naga and other places.
In troubled times, assassins are a popular business. Without some rules and regulations in the ordinary season, it is normal for various forces to send assassins to each other. People who are assassins have different backgrounds. Some like Gu Qi is for personal grievances, and some are forced to do so. Some are trained since childhood. In addition to personal grievances, they are nothing more than to make a living. If you have other choices, why take risks?
The Brotherhood provided many choices under the rule of the Brotherhood. Anyway, under the constraints of various rules, assassination is rare. Their organization has not received any business for a long time, and the assassin also has to eat. A legitimate business can live a good life. Why do you have to do such a fatal business?
The member learned Gu Qi's plan and advised him to give up. Originally, Gu Qi's closest relatives also went to intercept the people from the Brotherhood, but they were killed. They were not a vengeance or not. They came out and had to admit it. If they fell into trouble, they had to admit it. Don't admit it? Go to find trouble for the Brotherhood and see what level they are now? If they go, they are just going to die.
Gu Qi originally wanted to get some help from the organization, but he didn't know that this was the case, which made him feel a little lost for several days. Even so, Gu Qi was determined to take revenge, otherwise what would he be practicing martial arts hard over the years? What would he be waiting for so many years? But no matter what he thought, he couldn't find any opportunity, and taking revenge seemed to be a long time ago.
What made Gu Qi even more upset was that after adapting to life in Lingzhou City, he felt more and more that what he saw and heard, the brotherhood was actually good. In many aspects, it was much better than in Middle-earth, and the idea of revenge began to shake.
There are more than one example like Gu Qi. They are hostile to the Brotherhood. Even if these people try to lurk, these people cannot make any noise under various rules and regulations, and are not affected by all aspects of the Brotherhood.
Through its newspapers, witch doctors, art troupes, schools, etc., the Brotherhood continues to influence the thoughts of people under its rule, change their cognition and views, spread some ideas, and form relatively consistent values. In this way, the Xinghai Empire is considered a real country. Of course, this will be a long-term process.
Of course, not everyone is a good match. After all, each person has different backgrounds and different ideas. There is no need for the Brotherhood to spend time educating or something. Keeping it will only cause some trouble. Just eliminate these unstable factors and expel them. Even if these people will be hostile to the Brotherhood from now on, does the Brotherhood need to care about the thoughts of these people?
The war in Zhongtu made Zhongtu more and more turbulent, but under the rule of the Brotherhood, it was stable and prosperous. People of all kinds entered the territory of Xinghai Empire, not only some civilians, but even some big clans and surnames migrated to Xinghai Empire.
First of all, some clans engaged in commerce and trade. These families have little reliance on land and land, and have long been in business dealings with some business under the rule of the Brotherhood, and have a better understanding of some rules of the Brotherhood. Although there are many rules under the rule of the Brotherhood, if you have a deep understanding of the reasons why the Brotherhood sets these rules, you will know that these rules are not excessive. Just as spitting everywhere, urinating and defecating everywhere is for the purpose of cleanliness of the city and preventing the spread of diseases, after knowing it, you will generally think that these rules are well set and are natural.
As long as you do not violate these rules set by the Brotherhood, it is quite free. Abiding by these rules will often not cause trouble, and often make many things simple and convenient. More importantly, the Brotherhood itself is extremely rules-abiding, and it is simple and clear. The Brotherhood has a very good reputation, which is always the same. In comparison, the forces in China and Turkey say it well and often do things that are not abide by the rules. Some families without any power often become the targets of exploitation and exploitation. The struggles between various forces are also complicated. No matter whether they are mixed or not, or whether they are given money or not, it seems that they are not right. If they are done well, there will be disasters and family destruction. For these families, how to choose is not a difficult problem.
Then there are some families that failed in the struggle. Entering the fraternity rule is considered to avoid disaster. Even if they are reluctant to give up their original land property power, they are better than being slaughtered and slaughtered. Some families have done well in Zhongtu and sent some tribesmen to the fraternity rule. The reasons are similar, just in case of preservation. Of course, if these children can make a name for themselves under the fraternity rule, or even become members of the fraternity, but the big clans are well aware of the principle that eggs cannot be placed in one basket. If one day the fraternity will win the world, their families may prosper. Unfortunately, the system of the fraternity is extremely strict, and many rules are different from that of Zhongtu. The chances of children of the big clan want to join the fraternity are quite slim.
Not to mention joining the Brotherhood, it is not that easy to become a formal resident under the Brotherhood. Take those refugees as an example. They have to work for the Brotherhood for at least two or three years, and completely obey the arrangements of the Brotherhood during this period, and it depends on their performance.
Under the rule of the Brotherhood, on the whole, there seems to be no distinction between people, and there are not so many qualities, but there are still clear hierarchical divisions.
At the top, the leaders of the Brotherhood were naturally the leaders, followed by the official members of the Brotherhood, witch doctors, military generals, etc. There are also some hierarchical divisions, such as witch doctors and military soldiers, and there are also members in the inspection period. Then there are the peripheral parts of the Brotherhood, including some civil institutions, chambers of commerce, martial arts halls, etc., and then the general people under their rule. There are also foreign refugees and other personnel in the same level, and finally slave labor, etc., among which there are some divisions.
However, these levels are not fixed. If you can earn enough contribution value or make great contributions, you can be promoted to a higher level.
Treatment of different levels naturally varies, especially for full members of the fraternity who enjoy various benefits, you can use some fresh things made by the fraternity. If you die in battle, your family will also be guaranteed. You can divide the land and houses, arrange marriages, go to the hospital of the Witch Temple when you are sick, get priority treatment, use some more expensive and rare drugs, and you can still get money every month even if you are old, etc.
For ordinary people under the rule of the Brotherhood, as long as they become formal members of the Brotherhood, they can be said to realize all their dreams in their lives. Naturally, many people strive to be a member of the Brotherhood. However, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the opportunity to earn contribution value, but it is not without the chance. That is to enter the Brotherhood system through the army, schools, witch temples and other fraternal institutions. Even if they have no hope, they hope that their descendants can do it.
This is the same for those in the big clans. The Brotherhood does not exclude the children of the big clans. However, most of them do not care about this. For the sake of being a formal resident, go to some of the Brotherhood workshops? What class do you have to attend? Absurd!
Although there is no formal resident status and there will be some restrictions, as long as you have money, these people will live quite comfortably under the rule of the Brotherhood. Although most of them do not have the ability to make a living, they can be said to be squandering the wealth accumulated by generations in their family is enough for them to squander. In fact, this type of people is a waste in the eyes of the Brotherhood. Even the qualifications of formal residents will not be given to them. At most, they will be treated by tourists for their large amount of money. If these guys are not honest, they will have two fates. They will either be expelled or be arrested for the old rules and let their families redeem their people. If they have no money to redeem them, they can only be sent to mining.
However, these people are not idiots, they are basically honest. They have some small actions, just wanting to seek a higher status under the rule of the Brotherhood. However, they are not willing to do it step by step, and always want to find opportunities to take advantage of the opportunistic approach. There are more than these people with similar ideas.
