That night, at the Zhangsun Clan Residence.
Zhangsun Wuhen lit a candle and looked at a map. Beside it was an ancient book.
The map was quite detailed, with the cities and passes between the Great Tang and the Turks marked on it, as well as the mountains and rivers.
Ordinary people didn't have such a map. He had asked someone to go to the Heavenly Policy Prefecture to get one.
"There are too many mountain ranges. The less populated a place is, the more wild beasts there are.”
Zhangsun Wuhen muttered softly,
"If the beasts of the first generation of the Qinling Mountains are also affected and move out in full force…the consequences will be unimaginable!”
In this parallel world, wild beasts ran amok, and there were many animal disasters. As a result, human activities were restricted, and they could only live in the plains.
Even so, they would still be invaded by wild beasts from time to time, causing the villages and towns to suffer serious harassment.
Therefore, apart from exterminating rebellions and conquering the outside world, the Tang army also had another important task, which was to suppress the beasts. Once the beasts rebelled, the soldiers had to fight bravely like a strong enemy!
Zhangsun Wuhen flipped open the book and read softly,"
"During the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, there was a large-scale beast riot, causing the commoners to suffer heavy casualties. The Jingchu land was the most serious, and the Chu army lost nearly 100,000 troops, directly leading to the decline of the Chu Country!”
" At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the second beast tide broke out. Hundreds of thousands of people were killed and injured. The army was almost disorganized, accelerating the decline of the Han Dynasty…"
"After that, the full-scale beast horde didn't erupt again. However, during the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were still partial beast hordes, but they were still under control.”
"Ever since the Sui Dynasty, the world gradually became peaceful.”
He finished flipping through the book, and gently closed his eyes.
The last regional beast tide was more than 300 years ago, and the full-scale beast tide was close to 500 years ago.
It had been too long, so long that everyone seemed to have forgotten the fear of being dominated by the dense Beast Tide.
"This time, it won't be simple!"
Zhangsun Wuhen slammed his fist on the table, his eyes flickering.
Bang!
With a loud noise, his door was opened. Zhangsun Wuji rushed in angrily and said with bared fangs and brandished claws,
"You brat! You…come out!"
He grabbed Zhangsun Wuhen and walked out. Zhangsun Wuhen did not resist and allowed him to pull him to the door.
"Did you do this?!"
Zhangsun Wuji was so angry that his beard trembled as he pointed at the plaque above his head and roared.
On the horizontal board, there were three big words written in a flamboyant manner-"Marquis Qin's Residence"!
"It's me. What's wrong?"
Zhangsun Wuhen shrugged.
"You, you, you! You're a traitor!"
Zhangsun Wuji saw his sloppy appearance and roared even more angrily,
"You're fast enough! His Highness the Crown Prince has just decided on the title of Marquis Qin for you. He hasn't even issued an imperial edict yet, and you've already changed the door number of your house?”
"Why are you so cocky, huh? Do you know how arrogant and impetuous you are by doing this?”
Zhangsun Wuji stomped his feet in anger, but Zhangsun Wuhen remained indifferent. Instead, he said proudly,
"I know, but so what?”
"The original door number was too shabby and not recognizable at all, so I asked someone to change it. What do you think?”
"From today onwards, this place will be called Marquis Qin's Residence! I've decided on it. You don't agree? Who do you think you are?"
Zhangsun Wuji: "!!!"
"Who am I? I'm still a county magistrate! You're just a marquis, not even a duke! Who allowed you to show off like this?”
He said in exasperation,
"Hurry up and change for me! If others saw it, they would think that our Zhangsun family was all pompous people!”
He cared too much about the Zhangsun Clan's reputation.
"You can change it if you want."
Zhangsun Wuhen nodded and said with a serious expression,
"Indeed, Qin Hou is still lacking a bit of meaning. We can just directly change it to the Duke of Qin Mansion. It's only a matter of time anyway!”
As soon as he made up his mind, he immediately ordered his men,"
"Someone come! Make a new gilded horizontal board for Master and write…"
Zhangsun Wuji: "???"
"Don't, don't! You…Do you want to die?"
He was flustered by Zhangsun Wuhen's words and hurriedly lowered his voice,
"Sooner or later…You can't say that, you can't say that…"
Zhangsun Wuhen said matter-of-factly,
" I think it's about right. Let's be straightforward. Men…"
"Aiya, aiya! Hey, I'm scared of you, okay? I'm afraid of you, okay?"
Zhangsun Wuji's expression was distorted as he said helplessly,
"Just Marchioness Qin's residence, just Marchioness Qin's residence, alright? I won't say anything more. Don't talk nonsense. I'm begging you…"
How did she end up with such an unlucky younger brother!
"Look at you, you always love to find trouble with me. Hurry up and wash up and go to sleep!”
Zhangsun Wuhen revealed a mouthful of white teeth as he said with a smile.
