Chapter 335

Tian Binfei was nervous and his tone became tough, "I said I will handle it! Didn't you hear me? "

Tian Miaowen was not afraid and said calmly, "The information is under my control. This is also a part of gathering information. You cannot interfere!"

"Nonsense!"

Tian Binfei suddenly could not control himself and slammed the table, "You are a lady from a noble family. How can you get close to him? Are you going to show off your beauty? No matter how my Tian family has declined, we will not fall to the point of selling our own daughter for benefits! "

Tian Miaowen was furious when she heard this. But it was a pity that she was born seductive. No matter if she was happy, angry, sad, or happy, she would always be pitiful. Men who saw her would feel pity and love her. So even though her eyebrows were raised and her voice became cold, there was no power in it.

"What nonsense are you saying! Yingying, Ning 'er, and I are sworn sisters. Through them, I can naturally get close to Ye Xiaotian without attracting attention. How can you say it like this! I have been in charge of the inner sect affairs of the Tian family. Which one of them did not rely on my wisdom and strategy? Do you think I have to sell myself? "

Tian Miaowen was already trembling with anger. Tian Binfei saw this and felt pity for her. He immediately relaxed his tone and said, "I am not arguing with you on purpose. It is just that you are a girl. Maybe it is easy to get close to him in the beginning, but it is not convenient for you to interact with him often. Why don't you leave this matter to me?"

Tian Miaowen sneered, "Big brother, do you really think so? Is it because he is the leader of the Gu God Sect and you are worried that his cultivation is higher than yours? You can't do anything to him! "

Tian Binfei's expression changed and said coldly, "What did you say?"

Tian Miaowen said coldly, "You know it in your heart!"

Tian Binfei became even more nervous and snorted, "What do I know? Don't think that you can get rid of me just because you are friends with the leader of the Gu God Sect! You are dreaming! "

As soon as he said this, Tian Binfei was terrified. How could he not know that his feelings were a little abnormal? However, he could control everything except his own emotions.

Because he could not control it, he regarded his sister as his own property, and he would not hesitate to get rid of anyone who dared to lay a finger on her. Because he knew that his feelings were not normal, he tried his best to conceal them, fearing that others might discover them. But now he had revealed them.

Tian Miaowen bit her lips and her face was as pale as paper, "You … you finally admitted it!"

Tian Binfei panicked and explained, "No, that's not it! "Little sister, listen to me. I … I'm not a beast. I've never thought of harming you. I've never thought of harming you. I've never thought of harming you. I … I … "

Tian Binfei grabbed her hair in pain and roared in a low voice, "I can't take it anymore! I can't stand men being nice to you! I can't stand you being nice to men! If you smile at them, I will go crazy! I really can't take it anymore, I can't control it … "

Slap!

A loud slap landed on his face. Five finger marks appeared on Tian Binfei's jade-like face. There was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Tian Miaowen in shock.

Tian Miaowen said word by word, "Animal!"

"Tenacious Needle …"

Tian Binfei called her name with a trembling voice and caught up with her. He stretched out his hand but did not dare to pull her back. He watched as Tian Miaowen walked out resolutely and decisively …

…

Ye Xiaotian looked behind Young Master An. There was no one. He looked further away, but there was still no one. Prince An teased, "Alright, you don't have to look anymore. I am alone. My cousin is not here. If you have time, you can go and see her. "

Ye Xiaotian smiled bitterly and said, "It's difficult! I really can't get away now. "

Young Master An nodded in agreement. "That's true. You've transformed into the overlord of twenty-eight banners in an instant. A new official will naturally be busier. "

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said meaningfully, "Twenty-eight banners or eight banners, it's hard to say now."

Young Master An was stunned and said, "How can it be? I heard … Ah!"

Young Master An was enlightened. Young Master An was the third generation heir of Chieftain An. He had received all kinds of training since he was young. He was not a fool. He understood what Ye Xiaotian meant just by listening to his words.

The so-called five tribes and twenty-eight banners, including the vague number of people, were all rumors spread by Ye Xiaotian. He wanted to test the reaction from the outside world and see how much resistance he would encounter.

Gedore's troops coming out of the mountains was already an established fact, and it had already been recognized by all the realms. Now it was time to see how the four additional tribes would react. If the reaction was too strong, then the five tribes might become three or even two!

In any case, this was the only thing that Tongren Province had reported to the imperial court. There was not much detailed data. If the imperial court approved of it, then they would conduct a more detailed investigation. Of course, the imperial court would not be able to make a decision on such an important matter.

Even if the imperial court was happy to see this happen, to ensure local stability, the imperial court would definitely consult the opinions of the influential chieftains in Guizhou. Then, in the process of the imperial court and the chieftains in Guizhou, Ye Xiaotian could adjust the number of tribes coming out of the mountains at any time according to the changes of the situation until it reached the bottom line that the chieftains could accept.

Ye Xiaotian invited Young Master An into the living room. When tea was served, he asked, "Young Master, are you here to attend Magistrate Zhang's funeral?"

Young Master An waved his hand and said, "You already know the answer to that question. Old Zhang is already in the ground, why would I attend his funeral?" As Young Master An spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Xiaotian. His usually frivolous smile turned serious, "This is a letter from my ancestor!"

Ye Xiaotian was shocked and said, "A letter from Old Master An?" As the saying went, it was better to be in charge than to be in charge of a county. In Guizhou, Old Master An's status was no less than that of the Emperor. Receiving a letter written by him was almost the same as receiving an imperial edict.

Young Master An nodded. Ye Xiaotian did not say anything else. Instead, he took out a letter opener and gently opened the envelope. He took out the letter inside and slowly unfolded it. The strong and forceful handwriting slowly appeared before his eyes.

"Ye Jun, Little Sky Blue View: The empire's hegemony will last for a hundred years; the chieftain's family will last for a thousand years. Since you are obsessed with your official career, if you can become a chieftain, your welfare will be even better than that of the Emperor. However, the road ahead will be bumpy, and I'm afraid it won't be easy … "

Ye Xiaotian read very slowly. He chewed on every word carefully and savored them. Old Master An's letter was very long. At the beginning, he praised him for choosing to become a chieftain. Next, he reminded him that if he wanted to become a chieftain, it was definitely not as simple as catering to the Emperor's wishes. He could easily become a chieftain by putting on the Emperor's hat.

The imperial court had once wedged a nail in Guizhou: Hulu County. This was a probing nail. In the end, this nail rotted there and did not have any effect. It was completely unable to use this place as a bridgehead to infiltrate the whole of Guizhou.

Ye Xiaotian was a citizen of the capital, but the chieftains of Guizhou did not care about this. This was because the ancestors of these chieftains were also not born and raised in Guizhou. Their ancestors were all high-ranking officials appointed by the imperial court during the Great Han, Tang, and even the Great Song. When the dynasty of the Central Plains was in turmoil, they lost control of the area. Thus, they occupied land and guarded it, passing it down from generation to generation.

No matter where Ye Xiaotian was from, as long as he became the chieftain of Sheng Miao, Sheng Miao's interests were his interests, and his interests were Sheng Miao's interests. The two were one. Old Master An did not believe that he would give up his own interests and position for the sake of Lao Zhu's descendants.

However, the chieftains of Guizhou would not regard him as an outsider because of this, but it did not mean that they would easily accept another chieftain. This was because this chieftain's territory outside the mountains was pitifully small. Who knew what he planned to do? If he acted rashly, it could cause a great upheaval.

Old Master An's words could be said to be blunt. If some of the words were to be used in the imperial court, it would be considered treason. But each word pointed to the heart, making it impossible for people to refute.

After Old Master An listed a series of difficulties for him, he also described in detail the problems that Shan Miao was currently facing. If hundreds of thousands of people were to come out of the mountains, in this era where farming was the main focus and there was no extra arable land, no place would be able to take in so many people at once with just other existing industries.

This was because even if other industries expanded and developed, it would take some time. It was impossible to take care of hundreds of thousands of people in one go, unless a great war was launched and a portion of the people were wiped out by force. But this was absolutely impossible.

Old Master An hoped that Ye Xiaotian could be more patient and not expect to succeed in one battle. He could take slow steps to leave the mountains, imitating the way the Cool Moon Valley's Guoji family moved out of the mountains, giving the outside world a process of acceptance and accommodation.

Although this way, it was impossible for all the tribes to leave the mountains in Ye Xiaotian's lifetime, it was the only feasible method.

Old Master An said that since Ye Xiaotian intended to turn religion into political power and use political power to rule the mountain people, then the consistency of his policy could be guaranteed. This was because once the central mountain people began to migrate out of the mountains, after they saw the prosperity and wealth of the outside world, they would have the motivation and desire to move out.

And Ye Xiaotian's descendants, as the successors of vested interests, would also carry on his will. This was because if his descendants gave up his idea and shrank back into the mountains, the Gu God Sect's foundation in the mountains was very strong. Then his political power would be held hostage by the Gu God Sect, and the power in his hands would be seized by others. Out of consideration for their own interests, his descendants would also unswervingly carry out his policy.

Walking slowly out of the mountains could minimize the resistance from the outside world, avoid enemies on all sides, and finally be forced back into the mountains, from the original isolation in the mountains to being imprisoned in the mountains. This was the basis to deal with the practical difficulties at present, and to gain the trust of the various tribe leaders.

Because Ye Xiaotian was after all young, Old Master An was worried that he would be eager for quick success, regardless of the pros and cons. So Old Master An explained in detail the benefits of doing this, and emphasized that this would not affect the power Ye Xiaotian wanted to obtain.

Old Master An said that under the above conditions, Ye Xiaotian's status would be very high, and thus he would obtain a decisive position in Guizhou. From the perspective of the pros and cons of the long-term development of Ye Xiaotian's tribe, the Hundred Thousand Mountains were their gateway, but also their natural moat.

At that time, the seedlings would have their backs against the high mountains, overlooking the valley, they could advance to attack, retreat to defend, leave the mountains when it was advantageous, develop outwards, retreat to defend when it was disadvantageous, use the pass to protect themselves, advance and retreat, stretch and bend freely. Following the Hundred Thousand Mountains, their influence could reach southeast Guizhou, and even Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces, their future was limitless.

Although Ye Xiaotian had already considered the future, but the changes in the outside world would also affect his plans, so he also took one step at a time, and adjusted his policy from time to time. Moreover, he was a young man, it was impossible for him to be as shrewd and ruthless as Old Master An, who had immersed himself in the field of power for a lifetime, and analyze so incisive.

Old Master An's letter, was like a bright lamp in the haze, suddenly illuminating the road ahead for him. But, the old master had painstakingly nurtured him, did he not have any ulterior motives? Ye Xiaotian did not believe that good things would fall from the sky.

So, Ye Xiaotian raised his head to look at Young Master An, he believed that Young Master An would have an explanation!
