Chapter 87 Halt, Legend and History

"I wanted to bring her here."

"But I found that her actions this time were different from before. She received the same guests as before, but her behavior was different. She was not in the same room, and the guest did not come alone as before, but sat in a carriage.

There are some details that you will not find unreasonable if you do not observe carefully.

So I thought there was a problem, so I went to find a few ruffians to make trouble. I took advantage of the chaos to check and found that there were weapons in the carriage, including armor!"

"There are quite a few, ten sets, and the best cowhide!"

When he said this, Chen Li's voice was still a little incredible.

How could a brothel come into contact with such things?

This is cowhide armor!

This is something that an ordinary brothel can have? !

Chen Nuo also suddenly became serious, but Chen Nuo did not ask what happened to these things. Instead, he immediately asked, "Were they not discovered?"

"It shouldn't be. I was very careful. There were no footprints and the things were not moved. As for those who were looking for trouble, the reasons were sufficient. Those ruffians didn't know who we were. They just thought we had a grudge against the brothel and were paid to do things." Chen Li replied.

Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes, "Find a time to deal with these ruffians, slowly, in batches, with reasonable reasons, don't let them disappear at once."

"Do it more cleanly."

"Yes."

Chen Li's face was solemn.

"Also, stop the investigation of that woman, leave someone to pay attention to this brothel, don't investigate it in depth."

"Understood, clan leader." Chen Li took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Looking at Chen Li's back, Chen Nuo supported his chin with his palm, "Chen Li is not suitable for doing something too shady, we have to find someone else."

"Also, this enamel brothel..."

Chen Nuo didn't want to explore.

In this world, sometimes even stupid people can survive, but those with too strong curiosity can't.

They always magically leave themselves no way to survive, and then run to the road to death, without stopping for a moment.

So, don't be too curious.

However, even if he didn't explore it, Chen Nuo had some guesses in his heart.

There must be someone else behind this enamel brothel. This is not the northern border, but the middle of the west.

Although the people are tough, it is not easy for such a thing as Jia to appear.

In An County, there are only a few families that are capable of doing this, the three major families, and the Dade Bank. Outside the city are the bandits of Yandang Mountain.

As for other forces, it is unlikely.

The forces of the underworld such as Feixuemen and Mohu Boxing Gym are not so strong in the county.

The possibility of the bandits of Yandang Mountain is relatively low.

So...

Chen Nuo was silent for a while.

"Damn, what kind of world is this? We really have to make plans early."

While cursing, he increased the amount of money for purchasing grain, and the plan to expand the cellar in the village...

...

On February 2, the dragon raises its head, and the big and small households use oxen to plow.

Spring is coming, all things are revived, and the time for spring plowing is coming.

This special day, like the New Year, also has its own legend.

According to legend, a long time ago, there was a strange beast called a dragon, which had boundless power such as moving clouds and rain, benefiting the common people, the living and the dead, thunder and fire, etc. People at that time even called it the king of strange beasts.

The dragon was violent at first, changing the course of rivers, destroying mountains and farmland, and even spewing everlasting flames to burn the earth, causing endless disasters and bloody storms.

Until a person who could command the heaven and earth appeared, cut off one of its horns, tamed it with great power, enlightened it, and punished it and its descendants to make clouds and rain on the earth, protect farming, and make the world prosperous and the people happy.

Because the day to subdue it was February 2, this day was also set.

The dragon raised its head, which meant that the dragon would make clouds and rain, making the world prosperous, which was a beautiful vision.

By the way, the strong man in this oldest legend was said to be the founder of the first dynasty on this land, the Xia Dynasty.

His name is no longer traceable, and later generations often called him - Heaven!

"So, there is also this factor in the God we are talking about now?"

Sitting in the newly bought carriage, accompanied by the bumps of the road, Chen Nuo and his uncle said.

Because today is a special day, the Ning family invited everyone to a banquet, so Chen Nuo came with the elders.

"This, I think, has basically changed in every dynasty, who can say for sure."

Chen Nuo said, "But uncle, the Xia Kingdom seems to be named after Xia, right? The two have a connection?"

The uncle looked at Chen Nuo calmly, and there seemed to be some speechlessness in his eyes.

"Chen Nuo, shouldn't I ask you, a scholar, about these things?"

"..."

Okay.

Uncle is right, in fact, many things are written in books, but Chen Nuo is used to asking uncle.

Chen Nuo began to recall the books he had read.

Although he is a scholar, Chen Nuo is actually just a student, not even a scholar. Of course, this is also related to his age, and he is more or less a genius.

This is also supported by his father, who bought a lot of books and spent a lot of favors.

Even so, those books are not many.

"It seems that the Records of the Nations said..."

The land of China is vast and boundless. A long time ago, the first dynasty recorded was indeed the Xia Dynasty, but the records are vague and many of them are even unreliable.

Because some books even record that it existed for more than 500 years, exceeding the 300-year dynasty limit.

After that, it experienced several dynasties and turbulent times, until it became a little strange before the establishment of the Li Dynasty 800 years ago.

That turbulent time was particularly fierce, and the population of the entire Shenzhou was only one in ten, so the historical records were also interrupted for a period of time at that time.

At least there was no record of that period in the book that Chen Nuo read.

800 years ago, the Li Dynasty was established, and the country had a good fortune for more than 200 years, and then it was destroyed, and there were decades of turbulence;

The previous dynasty-Geng Dynasty ended the turbulent times, was established, and the country had a good fortune for more than 200 years, and then it was destroyed, and there were decades of turbulence again.

Then there was an accident this time, and three peerless warriors were born at once.

All ended the turbulent times, but they could not attack each other, and they formed alliances, heroes emerged, and famous generals and counselors were as bright as stars.

Finally, Xia Taizu, who occupied the five states and had the greatest hope of unifying the world, died suddenly, and Yue Taizu and Yun Taizu also died of illness one after another. At this point, the turbulent times ended completely.

The world has entered a long period of three kingdoms, which has lasted until now.

During these two hundred years, the three kingdoms also fought wars. Xia Kingdom rose up and took away a state of Yue Kingdom. Unfortunately, Yun Kingdom came to help, but failed to complete the task in one battle.

Yue Kingdom also fell into decline and became the weakest of the three kingdoms.

"So, the Xia Taizu wanted to unify the world with the ancient Xia Dynasty as his ambition."

Chen Nuo came up with a reasonable explanation.

And this is actually a common view in history books.
