Chapter 359 Power
"It was precisely because of my suspicion that I was distracted and listened carefully. You just didn't notice it because you were so engrossed in those Yi people who didn't know where they came from. But it doesn't mean that I really am How smart are you? In terms of talent in martial arts, I'm afraid I'm not as good as you, but it's because I'm a few years older than you and have practiced a few years longer than you, so I'm barely two points better than you. In another two years, I can't say that I will not be Huanhuan'er's opponent."

Knowing that he was trying to coax her with pleasant words, Ye Xinyi still felt relieved, but the next moment he curled his lips in self-loathing, "This is the only thing I can get in front of you now." Make a move, if even this item is left far behind by you, then I will be useless in front of you."

"Silly girl, what's the point? I'm your man. Don't you want your man to be excellent in everything so that he can stand up for you?"

"Of course you are good in everything, but you are afraid that if you get better in the future, you will think that I am not good." Ye Xinyi snorted.

Shen Yue's throat was itchy, he smiled lowly, raised his hand and pulled her into his arms, "Isn't my Huanhuan'er self-confident? When did she start thinking like an ordinary daughter?" This feeling of inferiority, Didn't it come out of nowhere?

Ye Xinyi snorted, "I'm just an ordinary daughter, so I naturally have the mood of an ordinary daughter, isn't it strange?"

Shen Yue coughed twice, remembering that Ye Xinyi's little days came yesterday, and Lin Xiuyun, the savage Lin Xiuyun, had warned him earlier that the mood swings in the special days of each month in his daughter's house are always relatively large, and they are also more serious. In the past, he was sensitive, but he never took it to heart. Looking at it now, he can't say that it is really the case.

Thinking of this, Shen Yue laughed apologetically, "Don't worry! That day will never come, not to mention that Huan Huan'er is very talented, as long as you work hard, you will be like a martial artist, and you will have to be hard-pressed as a husband. Just say Huanhuaner is unique in the world, otherwise, why would I be able to marry a wife and start a family after being celibate for 25 years? Naturally, it is because Duhuanhuaner alone can catch my eyes, so I can keep my body like a jade all the time, so I waited for a Huanhuaner."

Ye Xinyi was angry and funny, "Your mouth is so sweet that no one can match it." Squeezing his chin, most of the inexplicable mood swings just now disappeared because of his gag.

Ye Xinyi straightened his expression, and stretched out his hand to push his shoulder, "You almost led me astray. I asked you just now, but you haven't answered me yet."

Shen Yue squeezed the hand that pushed her shoulder into his palm, "I'll say it, I'll say it." Shen Yue straightened his expression, and then said slowly, "The situation in the Southwest is actually quite complicated. But the imperial court only knows the peace in the Southwest, The Xia family is dominant, but they don't know how many forces are under the barrier of stability in this border area, and they don't know how much effort the Xia family has put in to maintain the stability of this side. The biggest force in the southwest is of course the Xia family. With a force of 20, the Xia family has been operating in Shu for several generations. They have married with neighboring families, and their power is intertwined, and their financial resources are also strong. To be honest, don't say that the terrain of Shu is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if the imperial court really uses troops against Shu. , General Xia is not afraid. The imperial treasury is empty, so it may not be able to last long, but the Xia family has been fighting for ten years, and they are not afraid that the 20 Xia family troops will starve."

"The second layer of power is the major families in Sichuan and the martial arts sects. Although these people have their own plans and careful thinking, in general, they still follow the lead of the Xia family. It's just that in recent years, the Cheng family and Tang The door is moving frequently, and small movements are frequent."

Although Shen Yue is in the capital, he obviously has a good understanding of the situation in the middle of Shu, especially when it comes to the distribution of forces in the middle of Shu.

"This third layer of power... don't say it, let me guess, but it is related to the Yi people?"

Shen Yue nodded, "That's right. There are many high mountains and canyons in the southwest. The area around Chengdu is flat and rich in products. It has been owned by the Han people since more than a thousand years ago, but the south has been the territory of the Yi people since ancient times. The Yi people Martial arts, folk customs are fierce, have their own writing, language and beliefs, and develop with family power, which should not be underestimated. Moreover, the Yi people have long been dissatisfied with the rich land that belongs to the Han people, but they can only live in poor mountains and bad waters. With the mediation of the Xia family, how can we keep the general situation and the occasional discord in these years?"

"The two most powerful branches of the Yi people, one is the Shui'an family, and the other is the Yongning She family. These two Yi people have intermarried for generations and share weal and woe. The relationship seemed unbreakable."

"Looks like?" Ye Xinyi grasped these two words very keenly.

"I just heard that An Xuming, the chief chieftain of the Shui'an Clan, has no children and only one daughter, who was raised like a jewel in the palm of his hand. It is reasonable to continue to marry the She Clan, but An Xuming asked for the She Clan's son She married into An's family, but Shee's refused, so the relationship between the two families became estranged, and it's not like it used to be."

"How many sons does the Chief Chieftain of the She family have?" Ye Xinyi raised his eyebrows lightly.

"I'm not sure, but it is said that Changmao, the descendant of the She family, when I was in Sichuan a few years ago, I heard that the generation of the She family has more than a dozen males. They are much stronger, and although their living conditions are worse, most of their children grow up safely and rarely die young."

Therefore, if there are no accidents, the dozen or so men from the She family should all grow up safely.Even if the Shui'an family wanted to marry, they would definitely choose the best one among them, but apart from this one, wouldn't there be so many others?It stands to reason that one should not be reluctant.

This Sheshi... I'm afraid she has other plans.

"Actually, whether it's the Han people or the Yi people, once some things involve conflicts of interest, it's easy to explain."

Although the two clans of She and An are married for generations, the relationship is more due to the involvement of interests. No matter what the two clans of She and An are planning, there is a crack in the seemingly unbreakable relationship, but this is an indisputable fact.

"The two people just now, are they from the She family or the An family?"

Shen Yue looked at Ye Xinyi, curled his thin lips lightly, and smiled appreciatively, "My Huanhuan'er is really smart. The Yi people have a custom of tattooing green. I accidentally glanced at the one on the back of that girl's hand before." The tattoo is blue, I didn't see it all, but the pattern from the back of the hand to the wrist looks very similar to the totem of the Shui'an family I have seen before."

That's right. "The person who chased them could be the She family?"

"I'm not sure about this. It's just that under the circumstances at that time, we didn't lose anything. It's better to go along with the flow and sell a small favor, just as a good relationship."

Ye Xinyi looked at him with a smile, there was some kind of deep meaning in the smile, the interested eyes seemed to say "make it up, I listen to you to continue making it up".
