Chapter 175 New Guard

"Brother Bai, why don't you ride a horse, but why do you want to take a slow ride in an ox cart?"

On the way to Deyang Town, a bullock cart was slowly moving forward, and Lan Xin sat on the edge kicking her legs and said nothing, bored.

Bai Yang was not far from her, with his head resting on the kitten's lap, his legs crossed, and he was slowly flipping through a copy of Chen Dynasty's "Festival Encyclopedia" in his hand.

"We don't rush, why are we running so fast on horseback, so we can go slowly and enjoy the scenery along the way?"

Bai Yang said without raising his eyelids.

You can ride a horse and see if you can get it. Another day, I will give you a whole off-road vehicle. If you have the ability, let me drive one for a try!

“There can be good things along the way”

Niu Huahua looked around and pouted.

Ignoring them, Bai Yang continued to read the books in his hand.

To understand the customs and culture of a place, it is a good way to first understand their festivals, in which you can see their historical allusions, etiquette, humanistic customs, and even major historical events.

No, no, no, through the encyclopedia of festivals in the Chen Dynasty, Bai Yang learned that there are a total of thirty-six festivals worth paying attention to in this country, from "Kaiyuan" to "End of Yuan", almost every "meeting" has more than one special day.

This is just a festival that the whole country believes in, without counting the customs and customs of various places. If the customs and customs of various places are included, the number will increase exponentially!

Among the thirty-six festivals, there are those that commemorate a certain historical celebrity, those that commemorate martial arts experts, and there are special festival activities...

For the Chen Dynasty, the most important festival is "Sacrifice to Chen", which is the date to celebrate the establishment of the Chen Dynasty. On this day, the whole people will wear the most solemn clothes and cook the best meals to pay homage to the first person. The king of the Chen Dynasty, so it is called "sacrifice to Chen".

"The Chen Dynasty has existed for more than 500 years. If it were replaced by the earth, it would be more than 1,500 years. It is long enough. No country on the earth has existed for such a long time. The first monarch, Chen Shang, was a super strong martial artist. Rising at the end of the century, leading a hundred entourages, spent fifty 'yuan' to lay down the huge territory of the Chen Dynasty, hunting dragons, destroying monsters, and fisting hundreds of miles. This is a big killer in human form, right? Martial arts experts are so terrifying!"

Bai Yang was shocked when he saw this paragraph.

There are a few martial arts figures around him, and he can't connect them with everything that can destroy everything within a hundred miles with one punch.

And Chen Shang, the first monarch in the history of the Chen Dynasty, has such a skill that can be called heaven and earth!

"The most shocking thing is that this Chen Shang actually reigned for more than 130 yuan, which is almost equivalent to nearly 400 years on the earth! Is this immortality?"

After seeing Chen Rang's reign, Bai Yang was completely shocked, how can a person live for so long?

But no matter how glamorous it is, it can't stand the temper, and now Chen Shang has lost nearly 400 yuan.

There are also several festivals that commemorate historical figures. For example, one of the festivals of "Going to Plague" is to commemorate a healer in the history of the Chen Dynasty. It was three hundred yuan before a terrible plague broke out in the Chen Dynasty. , swept across one-third of the territory, and countless people died because of it. A doctor named Li Yao appeared and rescued the common people. This stabilized the turmoil in the Chen Dynasty, so there is a special festival handed down.

The more Bai Yang read this book, the more surprised he felt. From the beginning to the end, it was a grotesque time and space travel experience. Legendary characters and thrilling events all shook his heart.

Aww...

Just as Bai Yang was concentrating on watching, the little wolf cub who was having fun beside the ox cart rushed forward and screamed eagerly.

"Is this little wolf cub raised by you? If it is, it will bark, if not, I will kill it with a knife."

A voice spoke from the front.

Bai Yang looked up and saw that there were four officials standing guard at a small intersection, one of them was looking at this side with his hand on the handle of a knife at his waist.

"brat"

Bai Yang first called back the little wolf cubs, then looked at them and said:

"I raised the little wolf cubs, what are you guys doing?"

The man put down his hand on the handle of the knife, pointed to the direction behind him and said:

"The guardian is taking people over there to check the people's sentiments. I'm afraid I'll disturb her. Please forgive me."

The new guardian is a woman? After hearing what the other party said, Bai Yang blinked.

Chen Chao's language, male and female, his pronunciation is completely different from hers. It is only Bai Yang who can say that the so-called guardian is a woman. If you look in the direction pointed by the other party, you can see a few hundred meters away. The woman in the blue official uniform is in the field, surrounded by a group of people, surrounded by a group of old farmers, not talking.

Being able to be an official is very common in today's world, but it is rare in history. I didn't expect that in this world, I would meet a female official casually.

"Why don't you guard the adults? If necessary, we can do our best."

Bai Yang glanced at it and said with a smile.

Officials who can go to the fields to discuss farming matters with old farmers in person can't be bad, even if they are just for show.

"The Lord Guardian is just discussing with the farmers about harvesting the crops, so there is no need to bother you."

The man replied very politely. Of course, if Bai Yang and the others hadn't seen that they were not very human, their attitude would probably be completely different.

"Oh, that's fine, you're busy"

Bai Yang nodded with a smile, and then the group moved on, and he just said that politely and casually.

"I didn't expect the new guard to be a woman, and she looks like a warrior!"

Niu Jian said dumbly beside the car.

"Are there many officials?"

Bai Yang asked.

"There are a lot of officials. As far as I know, almost one-third of the officials in the Chen Dynasty accounted for nearly one-third. There were four queens in history. But there is one thing, those who are married cannot be officials. If you get married, you have to resign. After all, marrying a man is like a husband, and the husband is the sky. If you become an official, many things will not be able to be handled. As a person, the most important thing is to serve you."

Lan Shuang explained on the sidelines.

Bai Yang was stunned, he didn't expect such a regulation to exist here, and he saw it again.

"Wait a few..."

They hadn't walked more than a hundred meters, and someone was chasing after them, and it turned out to be the person from before.

"Is there anything?".

Bai Yang sat up straight, looked at the running opponent and asked.

"May I ask how many people are from the Lan family and the Niu family?"

The man clasped his hands and asked.

"we are"

Lan Shuang nodded and answered.

"It turned out to be some young masters. I'm sorry. That's how it is. The Lord Guardian has checked the people's situation. Let me ask if you will return to Deyang Town. If so, the Lord Guardian hopes to go with you."

The man bowed slightly and said.

Bai Yang and the others looked at each other, what does this new Lord Guardian want to do?

"Okay, we're fine anyway"

Bai Yang nodded and said, he is still very curious about being an official, especially in this world, and at the same time, he also wants to meet the officials here, after all, he has never been in contact with them. ...

"Wait a moment, Lord Guardian"

The man bent slightly and stepped aside.

He is an official, so the necessary etiquette is still required. Bai Yang and others got off the bullock cart.

"Who are the Lan family, Lan Shuang, Lan Xin, Niu Jian, Niu Jian, Niu Huahua and Bai Yang?"

More than ten meters away, the new guard surrounded by the crowd asked with a smile as he walked.

This person is dressed in a blue official uniform with a long sword hanging from his waist. Surprisingly, he is not very old. Bai Yang thinks that the other party is no more than 30 years old. Here, he is only ten yuan old. kind.

"We are, we have met Lord Guardian"

Bai Yang and the others nodded, and slightly cupped their hands and said.

"Don't be so polite. I have met the two seniors of Lan Qingfeng and Niulanshan before. I mentioned you, and you are indeed a dragon and phoenix. Let's go, let's talk while walking, and don't call me Lord Guardian. I am better than you." Elderly, please call me Sister Hua, my name is Hua Sanniang"

The guardian Hua Sanniang smiled amiably.

Bai Yang and the others looked at each other, not understanding the other party's purpose, but they all called Sister Hua.

"Are you going to participate in the cooking competition later?"

Hua Sanniang asked casually.

"Yes, is Sister Hua too?"

Bai Yang nodded and said.

"Of course, I am also one of the judges. I have lived in the county for a long time, and this time I came to Deyang Town to give advice on people's livelihood. When encountering such a thing, I naturally want to taste the delicious food of Deyang Town."

Hua Sanniang said casually.

Bai Yang thought to himself that this great communication ability seems to be able to get along with anyone, and he has no pretensions at all, making it impossible for people to hate him.

"Then sister Hua is blessed. We have a lot of delicious food in Deyang Town, especially a few special dishes that you can't find anywhere else."

Lan Xin laughed beside him.

"Of course, that's right. I want to remind you of two things. There is news from the county seat that recently there is a vicious strong warrior who commits crimes everywhere. He specializes in killing warriors. The Forbidden Martial Hall is fully investigating this person, so You all need it when you are away from home, maybe the other party will come to Deyang Town at any time."

Hua Sanniang reminded her seriously.

"Thank you, Sister Hua, for letting me know. We will pay attention to it, but what is the second thing?"

Bai Yang nodded and asked.

"As for the second thing, it's a ridiculous thing. It's also because of one person. Well, girls should pay special attention to it."

When talking about this, Hua Sanniang looked at Lanshuang Niu Huahua and her two daughters.

"Sister Hua, what is the matter?"

Niu Huahua blinked and asked.

"Recently, a flower picker appeared in Deyang Town!"

Hua Sanniang laughed.

"The flower picker? Why do you say that the other party makes people laugh and cry?"

Bai Yang asked puzzled.

"Because this flower picker is very special. Although he picks flowers but does not destroy them, he sneaks into girls' boudoirs. He is not a bad person, but he specializes in stealing hearts. Recently, more than ten young women in Deyang Town have come to report the crime. Let us Help find the flower picker, they will find him no matter what, and then marry each other."

Hua Sanniang laughed.

"..."

Bai Yang is speechless, who the hell is this, who is so clever at picking up girls? I am convinced... (to be continued.)
