Chapter 217: I Heard Me Right?
"Then why do you still support Wen Yunxi?" The elders looked at Ba Wana in confusion, Wen Yunxi was obviously in a weak position, and it was not beneficial for them to support Wen Yunxi at all.
The corners of Barina's mouth slowly hooked, "Because she is our best and only chance, in the entire Lanzhou, only she can improve the status of women." ”
The elders looked at each other, and Elder Xu frowned and said, "Patriarch, our Red Refining Clan respects women, and women's status is already high, so why do we need Wen Yunxi to help." ”
The Red Refining Clan has lasted for thousands of years, and has always respected women, at the beginning there were no men in their clan at all, they were all married, and only men lived in the clan in the past hundred years, and these men could only cook at home with their children, not to mention being officials, even soldiers were not qualified.
The corners of Ba Wana's face and mouth were hooked higher, but coldness flashed in her eyes, "The situation has changed, Lanzhou is now under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains Imperial Court, no matter how remote our Red Refining Clan is, it is also in Lanzhou, and we also have to abide by the rules, we have to pay taxes, we have to restrain ourselves according to laws and regulations, as long as the right to speak is controlled by others, we have to keep giving in." ”
"But even if we support Wen Yunxi, after Wen Yunxi wins, Lanzhou will not fall into our hands, won't we have no right to speak?"
Ba Rena chuckled, shook her head and said: "It's different, Sang Fu will only appoint the Zhanyue clan as officials, but Wen Yunxi is an exiled Han person, if she replaces Sang Fu, no matter what the considerations, the official will no longer be just the Zhanyue clan, it will be the Shuiyi clan, the northern four clans and those of us who have supported her." ”
"Moreover, our clan has a natural advantage, we respect women, Wen Yunxi is just improving the status of women, as long as Wen Yunxi wins, those outstanding women of our clan will no longer be limited to their own clan, and they can take this opportunity to climb to a higher position."
Ba Rena paused at this point, and then continued: "With Wen Yunxi's ability, Lanzhou will only be the starting point, we follow her, maybe we can go outside Lanzhou, and become an official in the Central Plains Imperial Court, at that time, no one dares to underestimate our Red Refining Clan." ”
Yes, their Red Refining Clan respects women, in the clan, they have a higher status than men, they can be elders, they can be patriarchs, but outside the Red Refining Clan, how many women have status, and how many people are afraid of their Red Refining Clan?
Lanzhou has been attached to the Central Plains Imperial Court, and they all have to be controlled by the Imperial Court, but now the taxes are high, will they be forced to marry in the future, will they interfere with the rules of their Red Refining Clan, and what will they resist when the time comes?
The last time Bawena went to attend Sangfu's birthday banquet, in addition to wanting to see if she could find the news of her son's murder, it was just to take the opportunity to see Pingxi Dam, she had been sending spies to keep an eye on the movements of Black Rock City, and she had long noticed Wen Yunxi, who had been paying attention to her almost since she founded Pingxi Dam, and watched her rise step by step.
Although she didn't meet Wen Yunxi that time, she secretly went to Pingxiba, and even went to Qingzhu Hospital to register for a second illness, and then she had the idea of cooperating with Wen Yunxi.
The development of the Red Refining Clan does not depend on making money and training soldiers, but on improving the status of women, obtaining an official position in the Xuanfu Division and gaining the opportunity to formulate rules, which coincides with Wen Yunxi.
It can be said that other clans may be able to consider Sangfu and Xuanlin, but their Red Refining Clan can only choose Wen Yunxi, and only by following Wen Yunxi can they get real development.
There are not many people who have similar thoughts to her, and most of the more than 20 clans in Lanzhou are considering the issue of standing in line, even Guajana of the Yanye clan is no exception.
Since he was taken captive from the Shanniu tribe by Yuyun, Guajana has never returned, and the Thunderfish does not restrict him much, as long as he does not leave the Shanniu tribe, let him go wherever he goes, and no one interferes.
Guajiana is not in a hurry, there are elders in the Yanye clan, and there are people in the clan who manage the business of Xuanlin, so he doesn't need to ask much more, and he stays in the Shanniu clan and has a clean ear, so he no longer has to be troubled by the quarrel between his wife and his children.
But after hearing the news that Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu were going to fight, Gua Jia's mind became alive again, although he took refuge in Xuanlin, but Xuanlin was obviously not as good as Wen Yunxi, and he was now pinched by Wen Yunxi's people, if he could take the opportunity to take refuge on Wen Yunxi's side, Wen Yunxi was better than Sang Fu, then the official position that Xuanlin had promised him, Wen Yunxi could also promise him.
"Patriarch, this can't be helped, we have signed an agreement with King Lin, if the patriarch breaks the contract, what will His Royal Highness King Lin do to deal with us?" As soon as Barris heard Guajana's thoughts, he immediately shook his head vigorously in disagreement.
"King Linxi is not as strong as Wen Yunxi now, but Wen Yunxi and Sang Fu face off head-to-head, even if they win, it will be a tragic victory, and when the time comes, His Royal Highness King Linwang will be more powerful, won't he be able to take Lanzhou into his hands, we will be the first to follow His Royal Highness King Lin, and the benefits will definitely not be less."
Gua Jia slapped Barris on the back, and said with hatred: "You still don't believe you stupid, Wen Yunxi, who is Wen Yunxi, we have surrounded the Shanniu clan before, she can still turn the tables against the wind, step on Xuanlin and gain another wave of power and prestige, do you think she will not be prepared for the back this time?" Maybe there is a way to get Sanfura off the horse at a very small cost. ”
Speaking of Wen Yunxi, Guajana couldn't help but think of Yu Yun, he had never seen such a good person, as if thousands of troops were not worth mentioning in front of her, Yu Yun could kidnap him from the room, maybe he could also kidnap Sangfu.
Of course, Sang Fu is not a fool, Yu Yun's reputation and force are there, he will definitely send people to protect himself, but everyone has people who nap, how long can Sang Fu defend himself?
Thinking of this, Guajana shook off Barris and walked quickly towards the door, this opportunity could not be missed, and he had to negotiate with the Thunderfish as soon as possible.
"Patriarch, listen to me, don't think about it anymore." As soon as Barris was thrown away, he rushed over and hugged Guajana's legs, "We really can't betray His Royal Highness King Lin, he has no more power, and he is also the king of Lanzhou, so it's very easy to pinch us." ”
Guajiana paused when he heard this, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, Xuanlin's current status is indeed embarrassing, but he has no real power, he also has the name of the vassal king, whether it is Sangfu or Wen Yunxi, he has to treat him with a few courtesies, if he really annoys Xuanlin because of this, even if he successfully serves Wen Yunxi, the situation is not necessarily very good.
Just as Guajana was secretly thinking, a person strode into the room, and he looked at the two people in the room with a smile, "Patriarch Gua, where are you in a hurry?" ”
Barris hurriedly got up from the ground and greeted the visitor with a dry smile, "Lord Liu, I'm playing with the patriarch." ”
Liu Xiang did not dismantle Barris's words, whispered a few words to the two people in the room and left the room, leaving the two looking at each other.
"Did I hear me right?" Guajana was incredulous.
Barris wasn't much better, "Maybe we're all dreaming. ”
even asked them to send troops to the Li Xi clan to protect Wen Yunxi, either Xuanlin was crazy, or their ears were broken.
"What's going on?!"
