In the backyard of an ordinary house in Cangshan Prefecture City, a girl in white was leaping and moving among several wooden stakes. The vigorous movement made her cheeks flush. The girl's expression was serious, and she used a pair of crescent-shaped short swords on her hands, dancing like a butterfly, turning into two snake-shaped silver rays. One move was pleasing to the eye, but she had hidden murderous intent, her moves were cruel and her moves were deadly.

"Oh, my cousin is still a master, I can't tell you! I offended her a while ago, and just kowtowed me a few times, but didn't give me two blows. It's really God's blessing, thank God!" Qin Jincai looked exaggerated, his hands folded, looking like he was grateful to God for his gratitude.

It is not someone else who practices martial arts. Qin Jincai's cousin Qin Yue, since he saw that the masked woman was Qin Jincai's aunt that night, Xiao Tianlei was worried. This is a danger hidden by his side, and he had to observe carefully and secretly.

The house where Qin Jincai's aunt and cousin Qin Yue live looks ordinary, but after careful selection, the backyard is vast and there are no residents on three sides. The walls are high, so it is difficult for outsiders to see the situation. Instead, they can climb up to the roof nearby to observe. However, they can only observe the martial artist who has developed the qi. The senses are sharp and peeking around closely.

At this time, Xiao Tianlei, Zheng Biao, Qin Jincai, and Xiao Tianbao were at a commanding height in Cangshan Prefecture City, using a telescope to observe the courtyard where the mother and daughter live. After the relatively transparent glass was made, Xiao Tianlei asked the craftsmen from Wild Boar Ridge to try to make telescopes, and tried many of them, most of which failed. Now this is a relatively successful one. It is a shaped like an iron tube as thick as an arm. It looks quite ugly. The glass at both ends is also light green. The scene you see is also light green. The distance you see is not very far, and it can be used at least.

In addition to telescopes, the craftsmen of Wild Boar Ridge have been able to create many strange things that seem to be strange to outsiders. Don’t underestimate people’s wisdom. Under the right conditions, Xiao Tianlei certainly encourages them to think more, experiment more, and do boldly, and occasionally participate. In fact, if you want to talk about technology, the world has also developed considerably, but these high-end technologies are mainly controlled by a few people and are strictly confidential, and are mainly used to demonstrate the identity and status of the powerful and powerful people. Various exquisite chariots, crafts, weapons, armor, and are also used on the battlefield. Many are state secrets, exclusively for the royal family. In some stories of generals, the powerful fire dragon roar often appears. Xiao Tianlei feels like artillery, and there are some unique weapons and chariots. When masked thieves and robberies, they can occasionally grab some exquisite mechanisms, and most of these mechanisms are used as toys.

"Brother Cai, I saw your father entering the backyard. He seemed to know that your cousin knew martial arts skills!" Xiao Tianbao, who was using a telescope, suddenly shouted.

"Let me see!" Qin Jincai pushed Xiao Tianbao away and watched through the telescope. "It's my father, it's not surprising at all to see him. He must have known it a long time ago."

Xiao Tianlei has a cold sniffer template, so naturally he can see the scene in the courtyard without a telescope. Qin Jincai's father, Xiao Tianlei's seventh uncle, was talking to Qin Jincai's aunt. Qin Jincai's aunt was named Qin Su. In the courtyard, in addition to the mother and daughter living, there was also an old slave and coachman named Lao Ma, who was fifty years old.

"Maybe your father is also a master, hiding his name or something." Zheng Biao guessed.

"Well, I really don't want to say it. Do you want me to go and ask?" Qin Jincai felt that it was really possible. He didn't care about it before, but now he thought that his father's origin is really strange. He rarely heard him talk about family, relatives, and this aunt and cousin suddenly appeared.

Xiao Tianlei felt it was unnecessary and said, "No need. It's not easy to hide for so many years. How can you find out the alertness of martial arts and your vigilance be bad? Don't find out anything, but expose us instead. Your father doesn't want to say that there must be a reason. As for your aunt, as long as you don't provoke us, we don't have to expose it. We just pretend that we don't know, just be careful in secret."

"Brother Lei, this telescope is really good. Let me play for a few days." Qin Jincai said suddenly.

"Brother Cai, why are you using the telescope?" Xiao Tianbao asked curiously.

"Hehe, Brother Cai must want to use this thing to see which girl!" Zheng Biao smiled strangely.

"Oh!" Xiao Tianbao suddenly realized.

"Bao, I'm like that kind of person! I just want to look around with a telescope!" Qin Jincai argued, but Qin Jincai's lustful expression was really unconvincing.

"Be careful to use it, don't let people see it."

"I know!"

Several people used telescopes to watch around Cangshan Prefecture City, looking at this place and there, until a brother came to report: "Brother, the Qingxi School sent some people, saying that they came to the door to apologize."

"Oh, the New Year is coming these days, so these people are rushing to give us gifts." Since that day's banquet, many people have come to give gifts. The existence of Snow Ape Nunu has forced many people to surrender to the brotherhood.

"Jincai, Qingxi Sect is familiar with you. When you come forward, let's watch."

"Then should we kill them?"

"Forget it, the Qingxi Sect has some business with us now. We should not be too arrogant. Our strength is not strong now. We don't have to make enemies with a big sect for a few guys who are provoking trouble."

While walking, they discussed, and the few people returned to the entrance of the brotherhood and rushed to the front before the New Year. Even though the Qingxi Sect showed considerable sincerity and prepared a generous gift, the person who came here also sent an elder with a very high status, and there were several disciples with good relationship with Qin Jincai. The elder's surname was Luo, he was slightly fat and had a smile on his face. He saw that he was a worldly old man. When he met, he claimed his crime, indicating that the Qingxi Sect had punished those disciples who were provoking trouble.

As the representative of the Brotherhood, Qin Jincai said some clichés, saying that the matter was revealed, just hoped that there would be no next time. Then, he talked about some business with the elder, and just talked about some things in the world, just to satisfy his curiosity. He did not have to mix in the grudges of the world. The Brotherhood is not a sect in the world now, but is more a business institution that does business.

Sects like the Qingxi Sect are sects that are known to the court. Disciples can participate in the martial arts examination and join some military institutions in the court. In addition, there are some sects that the court does not recognize, including gangs, and some are some sects from the previous dynasty. If the dynasty is changed, some sects will also play a role in it. The losers cannot tolerate the new court, and can only change their appearance or act in secret.

Having said that, most of the grievances in the world are just gimmicks for fame and interests. When Elder Luo talks about some martial arts competitions in the world, martial arts competitions have formed relatively fixed rules. Most martial arts competitions are not life-and-death battles, and most of them are more like friendly matches. They are generally not too much. In order to make a name for the younger generation, find a job, get a marriage, and bring advertisements to their own sects outside. In private, they still divide interests and territory according to the forces of each family.

As the Brotherhood develops and masters more and more wealth and interests, there will always be people who are jealous and want to make a decision. It will only take a moment to get involved in the grudges of the Brotherhood.

Xiao Tianlei also knew this, just because the Brotherhood is in Lingzhou. Because of its geographical location and harsh environment, Lingzhou is generally ignored by the forces in other major states. There are not so many complex and intertwined forces in Lingzhou. The Brotherhood can develop more steadily for a period of time. Although Xue Yuan Nunu is in charge, it is not the power of the Brotherhood itself, and its deterrence is limited. If you really want to deal with Xue Yuan Nunu, Xiao Tianlei can think of many means. If you want to make a fool of yourself, you must show your corresponding strength. Otherwise, you will have to face the siege of many evil wolves.

Xiao Tianlei was basically not worried. The brothers have always hidden their strength and many trump cards. The development of Wild Boar Ridge is also extremely rapid. If it were not forbidden, Xiao Tianlei was still willing to develop in a low-key manner. He did not have to do some big things to establish his authority like some forces in order to demonstrate his force.

"It should be able to develop steadily for a while!" Xiao Tianlei thought so. However, the brothers were stable. He and his brothers were uneasy. When he went home for the New Year, he was immediately annoyed.

"Oh, look! Those guys are back!"

"Oh, they all ride horses, so majestic!"

"I didn't expect these wild boys to make a fortune all at once!"

"I heard that the Brotherhood sent a lot of gold and silver that day. We have never seen that much money in our lifetime!"

"I heard that it was sprinkling baskets outward!"

"Why are these guys so prodigal? I feel heartbroken just by listening!"

"Aunt his aunt, your child is in the fraternity, and your family will make money in the future!"

"Haha, who said no, my boy thought it was just a farming land, but I didn't know why he sent it. It was indeed God's blessing!"

"What God bless me, I think this is following the right person. By the way, you can tell your children and let our children join the Brotherhood too!"

"Your kid is only two years old!"

"Then... I'll have a name first!"

"Oh, they are here, take a look!"

"Don't squeeze! Make a way out!"

"Biaozi, I am your aunt. I hugged you when I was a child!"

"Baby, come and see your cousin, and follow your cousin in the future!"

...

When he returned to Zhengjiazhuang, he was unexpectedly warmly welcomed. He was watched like a group of rare animals and blocked on the road. Finally, Zheng Baihu brought people to maintain order, and the group finally broke free.

A few days before the New Year, the protective wall of Zhengjiazhuang was also completed. At first, it was a temporary intention of Zhengbaihu. After Xiao Tianlei learned about it, he specially allocated some money and supplies, found some craftsmen, specially designed and installed some institutions. Now that the brothers are getting rich, Zhengjiazhuang is becoming rich, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will make any ideas about Zhengjiazhuang. Therefore, protection is necessary. In the past, Xiao Tianlei let Xiao Tianfu stay at home for the safety of his parents. Now that the protective wall is established, it is not foolproof. Xiao Tianlei thought about mobilizing some Shanyue martial artists to come over, and at the same time, some male men in Zhengjiazhuang usually do some defense training and keep alert day and night.

This year's Xiao Family New Year's banquet was a bit more lively than in previous years. Some relatives who are said to be relatives came. First, several boys of the Xiao family were all factors of the leader of the fraternity, and second, the Xiao family also produced three outstanding scholars. The older generation's wish to shine on their family members seemed to be about to be fulfilled.

Some uncles and brothers who were cold in the past became enthusiastic. Xiao Tianlei, Xiao Tianfu, and Xiao Tianbao could hardly find a quiet place. There were always people coming up to talk to him, saying that he was that person and that the three of them were all dispersed. Xiao Tianlei could not remember so many relatives. Everyone dealt with it a little, nodding, and so on, which made them exhausted.

Xiao Tianlei felt bored and was a little dazed. He found a quiet place and sat against the wall to rest. After a while, the voice of the seventh aunt Xiao Qimei came from his ears: "Xiaoyue, come quickly and say hello to your cousin Lei!"

"Cousin Lei, good New Year."

"Hmm?...Hmm!" Xiao Tianlei suddenly felt energetic, and saw Qin Yue, the girl standing in front of him, Yingying saluting, her head drooping.

"Oh, this stupid boy is confused again. I don't know what you can do in the Brotherhood. Yue'er said hello to you, but you are still stunned! Come back and give me a greeting. Also, I'll say hello to you Aunt Qin!" Aunt Seven urged.

Xiao Tianlei guessed that Qin Su and Qin Yue and his daughter should have come with Aunt Seven. He came back to his senses and responded: "Aunt Qin's New Year Festival, Xiao Yue's New Year Festival!" He looked up at Qin Su, and his dress was like Aunt Seven, but the color was different. The same style of clothes were worn on her and Aunt Seven. Aunt Seven looked like a merchant, but Aunt Qin Su was a rich girl with a gentle smile on her face, but there was a shallow scar on her cheek.

Xiao Tianlei thought he would be done after he greeted him, but he heard from the seventh aunt: "Leiwazi, Aunt Seven told you something, Jincai said that you have to tell you about this matter, "Aunt Qin, it's not easy for both mother and daughter. I want to find something for your cousin Xiaoyue to earn some money to support the family. What's the right job for your brothers?"

"Yes, the workshop has been short of people recently, and there are many things suitable for girls." Xiao Tianlei replied, but he wondered in his heart, why did Qin Su let Qin Yue go to the Brotherhood to do things? If it was not thought too much before, he would have to consider the other party's purpose now.

"You heartless baby, do you have the heart to let your delicate cousin do some rough work?" Xiao Qimei immediately started yelling.

Xiao Tianlei couldn't think of Qin Su's purpose for a moment, and it seemed that it was hard to refuse. It would be better to arrange something for her to see what the purpose was, so he asked Qin Yue: "Oh, then what will you do?"

"I can..." Qin Yue answered, and then she was stunned. She suddenly realized something that she seemed to know nothing except martial arts practice.

Xiao Tianlei saw Qin Yue look silly and shouted casually: "You can't do anything, right?"

"Uh..." Qin Yue's face froze, and she suddenly felt despised by this dazed guy. She was angry, but she couldn't get angry, so she had to clench her fists.

Aunt Seven said again at this time: "You guys, you guys, just run around all day long. Look at this and that, pointing fingers, and never saw you do a serious business. Isn't it enough to let your cousin be a manager?"

Xiao Tianlei and his brothers were so busy that they were not touching the ground every day. When the seventh aunt said that they had nothing to do. Xiao Tianlei also knew that it was useless to reason with the seventh aunt. The brothers would not accept idle people. This bottom line could not be broken. He could only say: "There are rules in the association. If you enter the brothers, you have to start from the bottom. You can't break the rules!"

"The rules are not determined by people. Every girl's family is always different. It's also good to be a girl who serves tea and water!" The seventh aunt beats the side drum again.

"Our brothers will not serve tea and water, but there are special people who boil water to deliver water. It should be fine, right?"

"It's good to boil water, just boil water!" Aunt Qi immediately made the decision and asked Qin Yue to go to the Brotherhood to boil water. Xiao Qimei thought that boiling water was a relaxing thing. She boiled water in the store every day, but she probably didn't know that boiling water from the Brotherhood was different from ordinary boiling water.

Xiao Tianlei didn't mention it, and then said routinely: "After the New Year, you can register at the fraternity. The salary is based on the standard, and there is overtime pay for overtime..."

"Okay, okay, after the New Year, I will take Xiaoyue there. At that time, you have to take more care of it. If you dare to bully her, I will not spare you, you boy!" The seventh aunt interrupted Xiao Tianlei and said, with some different meaning in her voice, while winking at him.
