"Then why support Wen Yunxi?" The elders looked at Barina in confusion. Wen Yunxi was obviously at a disadvantage, and there was no benefit in supporting Wen Yunxi.
The corners of Barina's mouth slowly raised, "Because she is our best and only opportunity. In the entire Lanzhou, she is the only one who can improve the status of women."
All the elders looked at each other, and Elder Xu frowned and said: "Clan leader, our Honglian clan respects women. Women have a high status, so why do we need Wen Yunxi to help."
For thousands of years, the Honglian tribe has always respected women. In the beginning, there were no men in their tribe at all, and they all had walking marriages. Only in the past hundred years have men been living in the tribe. These men can only take care of their children and cook at home. Not to mention being an official, he is not qualified to be a soldier.
The corners of Barina's lips raised higher, but a coldness flashed in her eyes, "The situation has changed. Lanzhou is now under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Court. No matter how remote our Honglian clan is, we still have to abide by the rules in Lanzhou. We have to pay taxes and restrain ourselves according to laws and regulations. As long as others have the right to speak, we have to keep making concessions."
"But even if we support Wen Yunxi, after Wen Yunxi wins, Lanzhou will not fall into our hands. Won't we still have no say?"
Barina chuckled, shook her head and said: "It's different. Sang Fu will only appoint Zhanyue people as officials, but Wen Yunxi is an exiled Han Chinese. If she replaces Sang Fu, no matter what considerations, she will be appointed as an official." It’s no longer just the Zhanyue tribe, but also the Shuiyi tribe, the four northern tribes, and those of us who have supported her.”
"Furthermore, our clan has a natural advantage. We respect women, and Wen Yunxi is improving the status of women. As long as Wen Yunxi wins, the outstanding women of our clan will no longer be limited to our own clan. We can take advantage of this Opportunity to climb higher.”
Barina paused here, and then continued: "With Wen Yunxi's ability, Lanzhou will only be the starting point. If we follow her, we might be able to go outside Lanzhou and serve in the Central Plains court. Officer, no one will dare to look down on us, the Honglian Clan, then."
Yes, the Honglian tribe respects women. In the tribe, they have a higher status than men. They can be elders and clan leaders. But outside of the Honglian tribe, how many women have status and how many people are afraid of them. What about their Honglian clan?
Lanzhou has surrendered to the Central Plains court, and they all have to be controlled by the court. Now the taxes are just high. Will they be forced to marry in the future, and will it interfere with the rules of their Honglian clan? How can they resist then?
Barina went to Sang Fu's birthday party last time. In addition to wanting to see if she could find out the news about her son's murder, she also wanted to take the opportunity to see Pingxi Dam. She had been sending spies to keep an eye on the movements in Black Rock City, and she had already noticed Wen Wen. Yun Xi has been following Pingxiba almost since she founded it, and he has watched her rise step by step.
Although she did not meet Wen Yunxi that time, she secretly went to Pingxiba and even went to Qingzhu Hospital to register for treatment. At that time, she had the idea of cooperating with Wen Yunxi. After the incident with the Shanniu tribe, Wen Yunxi strongly supported Halina to become the clan leader, which further strengthened her idea.
The development of the Honglian clan does not rely on making money and training soldiers, but on improving the status of women, obtaining an official position in the Xuanfu Division and getting the opportunity to formulate rules. This coincides with Wen Yunxi.
It can be said that other clans may consider Sang Fu and Xuan Lin, but they, the Honglian clan, can only choose Wen Yunxi. Only by following Wen Yunxi can they achieve real development.
There are many people who have similar thoughts to her. Most of the more than 20 clans in Lanzhou are considering taking sides, even Guajiana of the Yanye clan is no exception.
Since being kidnapped by Zhuo Yun from the clan to the Shanniu clan, Guajiana has never gone back. Leiyu has few restrictions on him. As long as he does not leave the Shanniu clan, he is allowed to go wherever he goes without interfering with anyone he sees. .
Guajiana is not in a hurry. There are elders in the Yanye tribe, and the business in the tribe is managed by Xuan Lin, so he does not need to interfere much. Moreover, staying in the Shanniu tribe will keep his ears clean and he will no longer have to be harassed. The wife and children were so noisy that they had a headache.
But after hearing the news that Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu were going to fight, Gua Jia's thoughts came to life again. Although he had taken refuge in Xuan Lin, Xuan Lin was obviously not as good as Wen Yunxi. Now he was attracted by Wen Yunxi's people. Holding it in his hand, if he can take the opportunity to defect to Wen Yunxi, and Wen Yunxi is better than Sang Fu, then Wen Yunxi can also promise him the official position that Xuan Lin once promised him. "Chief, this is impossible. We have signed an agreement with King Lin. If the chief breaks the agreement, what will His Highness King Lin do to us?" Upon hearing Guajiana's idea, Baris immediately shook his head vigorously in opposition.
"Prince Lin is not as powerful as Wen Yunxi now, but if Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu face off, even if they win, it will be a miserable victory. When the time comes, His Highness Lin Wang will be more powerful, and he will not be able to take Lanzhou into his hands." Well, we are the first to follow His Highness King Lin, and the benefits will definitely be great."
Gua Jia slapped Baris on the back and said in an unyielding voice: "You are stupid and you still don't believe me. Who is Wen Yunxi? We have surrounded the Shanniu tribe before, but she can still make a comeback against the wind and step on her." Xuan Lin has gained another wave of power and reputation, do you think she won’t have any backup plans this time? Maybe there is some way to bring down Sang Fu at a very small cost."
Speaking of Wen Yunxi, Gua Jiana couldn't help but think of Zhuo Yun. He had never seen anyone with such good skills. It was as if thousands of troops and horses were not worth mentioning in front of her. Zhuo Yun could defeat him from Captured from the room, maybe Sangfu can also be captured.
Of course, Sang Fu is not a fool. Where Zhuo Yun's reputation and strength are, he will definitely send people to protect him, but everyone has a nap. How long can Sang Fu be on guard?
Thinking of this, Guajiana shook off Barris and walked quickly out the door. He couldn't miss this opportunity again. He had to negotiate terms with Thunder Fish as soon as possible.
"Patriarch, please listen to my advice. Stop thinking about this matter." Baris had just been thrown away and rushed over to hug Guajiana's leg. "We really can't betray His Royal Highness Lin Wang. He has no power anymore. He is also the king of Lanzhou, so it is easy to manipulate us."
Guajiana paused when he heard this, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart. Xuan Lin's current position is indeed embarrassing, but he no longer has real power. He also has the title of vassal king. Both Sang Fu and Wen Yunxi must treat him with some courtesy. , if this really offended Xuan Lin, even if he successfully surrendered to Wen Yunxi, his situation would not necessarily be that good.
Just as Guajiana was thinking secretly, a man strode into the room. He looked at the two people in the room with a half-smile, "Chief Gua, where are you in a hurry?"
Barris quickly got up from the ground and greeted the visitor with a dry smile, "Mr. Liu, I was joking with the clan leader."
Liu Xiang did not expose Barris's words. He whispered a few words to the two people in the room and left the room, leaving the two people looking at each other.
"Did I hear correctly?" Guajiana was a little in disbelief.
Barris wasn't much better, "Maybe we're all dreaming."
They actually asked them to send troops to the Lixi tribe to protect Wen Yunxi. Either Xuan Lin was crazy or their ears were broken.
"What kind of fuss is this?!"
