Chapter 286 Sauvignon Blanc 43
When it comes to Central Plains, Ling Xi thinks of Chishui Fenglong and Chen Rong Xinyue's father, Xiao Yanyu, the current real ruler of the Chishui clan.
As for Xiao Yanxu, Ling Xi could only use one word to describe him, and that was cunning and sly.
As expected of a man who was able to survive the fall of Chenrong Kingdom and become an important official of Xiyan, he is as slippery as an eel, with a smooth mind, good at dealing with people, and never fails in what he says and does.
Ling Xi had met him twice, and every time he spoke he was playing Tai Chi with her, making it hard to see what he was thinking.
Everyone was very serious about the question raised by Xie Shuhui.
If one wants to unify the Great Wilderness, the Western Yan Kingdom is important, but the Central Plains is equally important.
Moreover, compared with Xiyan, the Central Plains is more difficult to deal with because the clan system in the Central Plains is more complex.
There are four major clans, six major clans in the Central Plains, and various small clans. There are inter-clan marriages. For example, the deceased lady of Tushan clan was the legitimate daughter of She clan, so She Shuhui is actually Tushan Jing's cousin.
The relationships between these noble families are a vast network, and any move can affect the entire body.
Even Ling Xi has been taking her time over the years to gradually weaken the power of the aristocratic families. After all, she can't kill all the people in the aristocratic families.
"We certainly can't ignore the Central Plains. Shuhui, pay close attention to the actions of each family, especially the Chishui and Tushan families." Ling Xi looked at Shuhui.
Xie Shuhui nodded: "Yes, Your Highness."
"The Fifth King, the Seventh King and their descendants are all useless. If the Chishui clan wants to choose an assistant from Xiyan's descendants, then they will definitely choose Xuanxuan. Xuanxuan is also their only choice."
Rushou analyzed Xiyan's situation in detail. "However, based on my understanding of Xiao Yanyu, he is most likely to support both sides."
"Not bad," Ling Xi gave Rushou an appreciative look. He was indeed the most comprehensive man in her opinion. Anian had a good vision and found her a very good brother-in-law.
"Xiao Yanxi is very good at business. If he had not met me, he would be more likely to support Xiyan. But since he has met me, he should let his two children support Haoling and Xiyan respectively.
I guess he should let Chishui Fenglong support Xuan and let Chenrong Xinyue follow me. In this way, no matter which side wins in the future, they, the Chishui clan, will not suffer any loss. "
Hearing this, Ah Nian blurted out: "But doesn't Chishui Fenglong like you, my sister?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Ling Xi. Everyone's gaze was full of curiosity, and the spectators were full of energy.
Fangfeng Yiying: Yo, Chishui Fenglong likes His Highness? Does the second brother still have a chance? Actually, the second brother and His Highness stand together, handsome man and beautiful woman, they are still a good match.
Xie Shuhui: As one of the four major clans, the Chishui clan is also an option, but that would not be very helpful in weakening the strength of the aristocratic families.
Ruoshou: If that kid Chishui Fenglong really dares to block Axi's way of unifying the wilderness, he will smash that kid's head with a hammer.
Qianxun poked her head out quietly: Your Highness has someone you like? How strange!
Qin Mang looked at Chihiro who was peeking out of the cat with sparkling eyes and smiled innocently: Chihiro is so cute!
Anian shrank his neck: Oh no, I said the wrong thing!
Ling Xi held his forehead and blinked, ignoring several pairs of curious eyes, and continued to speak seriously: "Chishui Fenglong will always put the interests of the Chishui family first."
Ruoshou and the others continued to stare at Ling Xi intently.
"Okay." Facing the focused gazes of several people, Ling Xi felt very uncomfortable. Finally, she had no choice but to compromise with them. "I won't like him. You can rest assured. And since you are so concerned about my private affairs, should I also be concerned about your private affairs?"
After saying that, several people turned their heads away. Fangfeng Yiying (rejection face): I just settled a marriage before, I don’t want to get married.
Xie Shuhui (glanced): I don’t want to get married.
Chihiro (shrinking her head again): I just want to stay in the room and study formations and weapons.
Ruoshou (looking at Anian quietly): It’s not impossible
Tan Mang (looking at Qianxun with a silly smile): Should we ask His Highness to grant him a marriage?
Ah Nian (snorted): I don't want to marry that big fool Rushou.
Ling Xi paid attention to the reactions of several people and smiled.
It seems that this method is still useful.
If you want to fight with her, you are still too young.
Then, she answered the phone: "Let's continue the discussion."
Ling Xi waved her hand and a map appeared in the air. It was a topographic map of the Great Wilderness. It was a combination of the previous maps and the ones she drew after traveling in the Great Wilderness. It was much more detailed than ordinary maps.
Ling Xi pointed to a place and said, "Look."
The place she was pointing to was exactly Xiyan City, now the capital of Xiyan Kingdom.
"Xiyan City is located in the northwest of the Great Wilderness, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Transportation is inconvenient, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. In the past, Xiyan and Chen Rong were fighting, and Chen Rong failed to wipe out Xiyan after several sieges. At that time, the King of Xiyan chose to build a city near Xiyan Mountain, which was a very good choice.
But thousands of years have passed, and the current Xiyan is no longer the small country in the corner. Therefore, the location of Xiyan City is not very advantageous at this time. It is too far away from Zhongyuan and Haoling, which is not conducive to the transmission of information. "
Ling Xi pointed to another place, which was the capital of Haoling Kingdom.
"Let's look at our Hao Ling. Hao Ling is located in the east and south of the Great Wilderness. There are more water and less mountains. The terrain is relatively flat, so there are more water battles. Our Hao Ling's navy is also stronger. Although it looks better than Xi Yan's remote location, Hao Ling is not in the center of the Great Wilderness."
Ling Xi circled an area on the map with his finger. It was a very large area running from north to south, spanning the entire wilderness from north to south.
Ling Xi pointed at this area and said seriously: "These places were originally the location of Chenrong Kingdom, which is what we call the Central Plains. Later, Chenrong Kingdom was destroyed, and most of these places belonged to Xiyan. There are also some northern and southern borders, which are barren lands. Xiyan did not control them all.
The North, the West, and the South, which originally belonged to the Central Plains, now belong to Xiyan. Therefore, the Central Plains is the core of the entire Great Wilderness. From here, you can overlook the entire Great Wilderness, the North, the West, the South, and the East China Sea. Everything is under your control. "
"We Hao Ling want this place, and Xi Yan naturally wants it too. Now we are reluctant to give it up. In the future, Xi Yan and Hao Ling will definitely have a great battle in the Central Plains."
After Ling Xi showed the map, Rushou and others fell into deep thought.
Several people looked at the map carefully, each with their own thoughts in mind.
