Chapter 308

Six Dragon Mountain, Seven Mysteries Temple.

Dayuan Xuandu's Lingxiao Shang Qing Guanghua Sect Miao Yifei Xuan Dao Jindan Jindan Universal Life Long Daoist Changfeng said dejectedly, "Old Man Wang, I really can't stay in Tongren anymore. I have to go."

Wang Ning ignored him and whispered to Hong Baichuan. The series of changes in Tongren left them at a loss. They needed to figure out what was going on as it was crucial for their future actions.

Daoist Changfeng said dejectedly, "I just said that I would help the Zhang family suppress the bandits and the Yu family slapped me in the face. Now that I've listened to you and gathered the disciples, saying that the Yu family should be the master of Tongren, the Zhang family slapped me in the face again. I can't lie to them no matter how clever I am."

Wang Ning and Hong Baichuan discussed in secret for a while, then turned to Daoist Changfeng and said, "The key to all this lies in the position of Gedore and Cooling Moon Valley! And Gedore and Cooling Moon Valley listen to Ye Xiaotian, so he is the key person! "

Hong Baichuan said, "I will stay in Tongren to keep an eye on him. I want to see what kind of person he is and what he wants to do. As for you, go to Guiyang. It seems that you really can't stay in Tongren anymore. Fortunately, Tongren has undergone a series of drastic changes, so not many people have noticed you. You can still make a name for yourself in Guiyang. "

Daoist Changfeng was overjoyed. If Hong Baichuan stayed in Tongren and let him go to Guiyang, could it be that he would be freed from his shackles? A bird can fly freely in the sky!

Before Daoist Changfeng could flutter his little wings, Wang Ning added, "Qingfeng, Mingyue, and I will accompany you to Guiyang. You need to recruit more of the nobles in Guiyang and use your influence. It will be of great use in the future!"

Daoist Changfeng's raised eyebrows immediately drooped. He was full of resentment but did not dare to say it out loud.

…

A shocking piece of news quickly spread across Tongren Province. This news immediately explained why Ye Tuiguan had the power to influence the fight between the Zhang and Yu families.

It was said that the Gedore tribe and the other four tribes that were about to migrate out of the mountains felt that the world outside the mountains was not as pure as the world inside the mountains, and Ye Tianguan had been supporting and guiding them. The people of these five tribes were inspired by him and decided to worship him as their leader, forming the 28 Banners.

The Chieftain system was a system that combined the military and the government. Within the Chieftain's jurisdiction, the various local officials were not only the highest administrative officials, but also the highest military officials. Each of them had different numbers of troops, commonly known as the "Earth Soldiers", which included two types: Battalion and Banner.

Battalions were the official divisions of a chieftain's army. Depending on the strength of the chieftain, the number of people in each 'battalion' was different. In other words, a chieftain usually controlled five battalions of soldiers and horses. However, the number of people in each battalion was vastly different for different chieftains.

For example, the first tier chieftain had at least ten thousand people in his battalion. The lowest tier chieftain only had a hundred people in his battalion. They were simply incomparable. Banners were not regular soldiers, but were used to train soldiers in the countryside.

The number of banners was determined by the area, so each chieftain had different numbers of banners. However, the number of banners did not represent the strength of the chieftain. Some chieftains divided the people under their jurisdiction very carefully, or the area under their jurisdiction was sparsely populated, and the distance between villages was relatively far. In this case, they might have fifty to sixty banners, but in reality, it was just fifty to sixty villages, and the militia of each village formed their own system.

Some chieftains had a few big cities and towns under their jurisdiction. They might only have a dozen banners, but each banner could mobilize at least a few thousand people. Therefore, from the current news, it was impossible to determine the total number of people who had Ye Xiaotian as their leader.

But no matter what, this way, Ye Xiaotian had his people, his land, and already had the qualifications to become a chieftain. And when the new Emperor ascended to the throne, it was a good omen for the new Emperor to be virtuous. It could be foreseen that the Imperial Court would be happy to see this happen.

In particular, the fact that Ye Xiaotian was originally from the capital was dug out. Ye Xiaotian, who already had the qualifications to become a chieftain, did not care about his status as a Juren. Right now, he could not wait for the whole world to know that he was from the capital.

Think about it, under the banner of the new Emperor, De Shao, who was a barbarian, he actually had the identity of a commoner in the capital. Would this make the Emperor feel closer to the Imperial Court, and feel that he would be more loyal to the Imperial Court than the other chieftains?

When the news got out, it was also confirmed by the Imperial Court. This was because after the young master of the Zhang family held a grand funeral for his father, he immediately wrote to the Imperial Court to confirm his status as a chieftain, so that he could accept the imperial edict and take over as the prefectural magistrate of Tongren.

At the same time, the young master of the Zhang family, together with the County Supervisor Yu Junting and many of the chieftains of Tongren, wrote to the Imperial Court to explain the process of how Ye Xiaotian became a chieftain and became a new member of the Tongren Chieftain Club.

When Tian Binfei, who was staying at Dabei Temple, heard this news, he was stunned for a long time. Before he could recover, he saw his little sister, Tian Miaowen, appear in front of him. Tian Binfei was even more stunned. He said, "Didn't you go to the mountains to investigate the Gu God Sect's leader? Why are you back so soon? "

Tian Miaowen was a little tired as she sat down on a chair. When Tian Binfei saw this, his heart ached and he quickly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over.

Tian Miaowen took the tea and gently took a sip. She leaned back on the chair and said weakly, "I rushed back overnight. Why did I go to the mountains? Do I still need to investigate? The identity of the Gu God Sect's leader is already obvious. "

After Tian Binfei learned about the new situation after the chaos in Tongren, he thought about too many things. Unlike Tian Miaowen, who went to the mountains to investigate the identity of the Gu God Sect's leader, she immediately thought of Ye Xiaotian's true identity. After hearing his sister's words, Tian Binfei was suddenly enlightened.

Tian Binfei cried out, "Yes, Ye Xiaotian is the new leader!"

Tian Miaowen said, "It doesn't matter who the leader is. But now he has brought the seedlings out of the mountains! So … "

Tian Binfei immediately frowned. "Five divisions and twenty-eight banners? How many people are there in total? Was the fief they had obtained in Tixi enough? If it's not enough, where are they going to fight for territory? Guizhou has been quiet for thousands of years. No matter how big the waves in the Central Plains are, it has always been as calm as stagnant water. Is it going to be stirred up by this loach? "

Tian Miaowen emphasized, "He is still a little loach now, but if left alone, it won't take long for him to grow into an evil dragon. It's not impossible for him to turn into a dragon in the future!"

Speaking of this, Tian Miaowen suddenly remembered the encounter with Ye Xiaotian when she went incognito to Gourd County. Suddenly, the long-lost feeling of numbness on her buttocks surged up again. That was the first time in her life that she was humiliated by a man like this.

At that time, she only thought of him as a rascal. Who would have thought that he would have the power that even she was envious of?

However, the higher one's position, the higher one's vision. Miss Tian's intelligence might not be higher than Yu Junting's, but because of her different background and status, Tian Miaowen, who often walked among the top of the tribe leaders' circle, had a higher vision than Yu Junting.

Although she envied the power that Ye Xiaotian had, she did not see him as important, at least not yet. Because if the seedlings wanted to leave the mountains, there was no land in the outside world for them to occupy. All the land already had an owner, so what about the seedlings?

Take it by force? That was not realistic. Right now, they were only a tribe that left the mountains, fighting for a piece of land in Tixi. As long as they could withstand the Zhang family's counterattack, it would be fine. But if the seedlings left the mountains in large numbers, the territory they needed would be too large. It would definitely cause the tribe leaders to be on guard.

In the end, it would lead to the tribe leaders joining forces to chase the seedlings back into the mountains. The seedlings were good at fighting in the forest. Once on land, they might not be stronger than the elite troops of the tribe leaders. Moreover, the tribe leaders had the advantage of the terrain and manpower.

Actually, the tribe leaders were very strict with the training of their troops. Every tribe leader built a drill ground and shooting ground in their territory. They also often used the opportunity of "chasing battles" (hunting) to carry out military training.

For example, when hunting a tiger, one person would be the main attacker and 20 people would help. The tiger had to be killed, and whoever caused the tiger to escape would be heavily punished. It was the same when hunting other beasts. In this way, they could naturally train an army that was very strong in actual combat.

Tian Miaowen did not need to think to know that if Ye Xiaotian, the leader of the Gu God Sect, became arrogant and conceited just because he was a little proud in Tongren, then it was very likely that he would suffer a blow to the head and return in defeat. He would hide in the mountains like a tortoise, and it would be difficult for him to come out without recuperating for a few decades.

Therefore, now that the Tian family had a very limited number of people, although they were somewhat envious of the power that Ye Xiaotian possessed, they did not stand out to rope him in or form an alliance with him. This was because the Tian family had limited capital. They had saved up for a hundred years just to make a comeback.

Now that the power and influence of the Tian family was not as great as before, they only had one chance. If they failed, they would have used up all their capital, lost all their prestige, and would never have a chance to make a comeback again. Therefore, they would definitely not bet on this easily.

However … Ye Xiaotian did not reveal his true identity. Instead, he used the excuse of being supported by the five tribes, intending to change his appearance and integrate into the world outside the mountains with the identity of a local chieftain. Obviously, he was also aware of the resistance that he might encounter.

However, this could only be hidden from some small chieftains and the imperial court, but it could not be hidden from those big chieftains of the Heavenly Kings and Vajra rank. Would they take the initiative to take action and nip this danger in the bud?

In an instant, Tian Miaowen's mind considered many things. She slowly said, "Brother, regardless of whether this person is a friend or foe, his every move will affect our Tian family's plan to make a comeback! Therefore, I feel that we should find a suitable opportunity to get close to him! "

Tian Binfei frowned and said, "You are an unmarried girl, how can you casually get close to a man? It is indeed necessary to get close to him and understand him. However, leave this matter to me! "

Tian Miaowen looked at Tian Binfei with a charming appearance. Her crisp voice contained a hint of ridicule, and she said, "This Ye Xiaotian, Ning 'er, and Yingying all have an unclear relationship. Moreover, Ning' er, Yingying, and I are Golden Orchid sisters. Are you sure that you are more suitable than me to make a move?"

Who would have thought that when Tian Binfei heard this, his heart would be even more fearful …
