Chapter 67 The World Chosen for Spiritual Practice

The war was brutal, but Rogan was indifferent to it and did not participate in it personally, but because of the outstanding performance of Logan's escort team, coupled with the relatively advanced weapons provided by his arms company for the Northern army, these made Rogan famous.

During the war, Logan also asked the captain of the escort team to keep an eye on his two cheap sons in this life, perhaps because Wolverine and Sabertooth Tiger were relatively low-key, Logan did not inquire about the specific whereabouts of the two sons, and Logan was not disappointed, after all, his ability at this time could not control these two rebellious sons.

The Civil War was the only civil war in the history of the United States, fought between the United States of America in the North and the Confederate States of America in the South. The war ended in a Union victory. The war began as a war to preserve national unity, but later evolved into a revolutionary war for the rebirth of black slave freedom.

The Civil War was the first large-scale war after the Industrial Revolution, during which the standards of modern warfare, such as tactics, strategic thinking, and field medicine, were established. The vast majority of the 3.5 million people who fought were volunteers. The war left 750,000 soldiers dead and 400,000 disabled, with associations estimating that the number of casualties could be even higher, as well as an unknown number of civilians.

The limitation of the Civil War was that Lincoln only abolished slavery in the rebellious states of the South, and these blacks were emancipated, but they did not receive the same rights as whites.

The victory of the North in the war established the dominance of the big bourgeoisie in the country while consolidating the unity of the country. The Civil War eliminated slavery, thus clearing the way for the rapid development of capitalism in the United States. The implementation of the Homestead Law accelerated the development of the western region and contributed to the victory of the American-style way in the development of agrarian capitalism. Thus, at the end of the 19th century, the United States became the most advanced industrial and agricultural capitalist power in the world.

During the post-Civil War reconstruction, blacks were still subjected to discrimination and exploitation by plantation owners, but were politically empowered to citizenship and suffrage, and freed from slavery. Therefore, the American Civil War had an epoch-making impact on the development of American history.

The Civil War destroyed slavery, and the Civil War was the second bourgeois revolution in American history, but it solved the land problem of the peasants relatively well, maintained national unity, cleared the way for the accelerated development of American capitalism, and laid the foundation for the United States to become one of the world's great powers.

The Industrial Revolution in the Civil War brought great military progress, the two sides used metal cartridge casings and rear-loading rifles to fight, railroads and steam ships to achieve rapid troop maneuvering and assembly, the use of steam ironclad warships for naval warfare, mechanical repeating pistols were put into actual combat for the first time, especially the North developed the production method of manufacturing standardized parts to assemble weapons, greatly improving industrial production efficiency, and promoting the progress of American history.

Rogan was one of the beneficiaries of the northern capitalists, taking advantage of the war, Rogan expanded his own enterprises, updated equipment, and also established a relatively large shipbuilding company, and began to build some light frigates for the US Navy.

Over the years, Luo Gen has lived in seclusion and worked hard to refine the space-time beads, but unfortunately he has only refined the eight prohibitions, and at best, he has only initially controlled the space-time beads, which has slowed down his other cultivations. For this reason, Rogan can only choose a relatively safe world to cross, while practicing Taoism and martial arts, for which he chose the world of embroidered spring swords, after all, this low-martial world is relatively safe for him, and there are no strange events, and generally follow history.

In the Ming Dynasty, in a quiet alley in the capital, a vague figure distorted and appeared here.

During this time, the new emperor ascended the throne, the capital was very unpeaceful, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, who had been a eunuch who was in power to the government and the opposition, has now become a lost dog, and one of his henchmen is called the eunuch party, Emperor Chongzhen issued a holy decree to picket the eunuch party, and the whole capital is bloody and bloody, and the people who are officials in the court are even more dangerous.

Responsible for picketing the eunuchs was a special department unique to the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei has a very bad reputation among the people, and when people hear the three words Jinyiwei, their first reaction is that they are court eagle dogs, cold-blooded and ruthless, and other unpleasant words.

At the end of the day, the streets of the capital were silent, and every household closed their doors and turned off their lights, falling asleep early.

Logan, who appeared in the alley, took a look at his surroundings, then jumped onto the wall and hid his figure in the dark shadows with a few jumps.

"Sure enough, knowing the plot is not omnipotent." Rogan tries to recall the plot of the film, but he finds that no matter how much he recalls, he can't remember a single thing about the location of specific characters, and he doesn't even know what the main and supporting characters are doing right now.

"Let's figure out where I am now." Logan dodged out of the shadows and returned to the street, heading in one direction.

The houses of the Ming Dynasty are relatively low, and there are no high-rise buildings in modern cities, but the roads here are paved with bluestone slabs, and it seems that this should not be a small county town or something.

Turning a street, Logan noticed two bright lights in the distance swaying towards him.

He looked at it and saw that it was two lanterns in his hands.

Two lanterns, the words 'Five Cities Terracotta Division' are clearly written on the lanterns.

"Five cities, what kind of city?" Rogan was confused.

Don't blame him for being lonely and unheard, it's really that he doesn't know anything about ancient history and the names of various departments, and in his previous life, he only graduated from junior high school, so it is impossible to become a famous historian.

When he saw the five words of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, he thought that the Five Cities was the name of a city.

Carrying the lanterns were two men in cloth uniforms, black iron hats, and steel knives around their waists.

Logan thought for a moment and walked over to the two of them.

One street after another, Lin Han's speed was not in a hurry or slow, his steps were as light as a tanuki, he landed silently, stepped on the snow without a trace, and swept a distance of several meters with a light rise and fall, thanks to Logan's Nine Yin True Scripture has been introduced.

"Master Ma, do you think there is a person?" A recruit with an obvious childish look on his face bent over and asked the veteran beside him with a humble attitude.

The two of them are from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and they were unlucky to draw the lottery to patrol the city tonight, so they could only patrol the streets with cold and hunger.

The young man in his mouth is not tall, he looks like an old fritter, with a beard on his face, and he walks with a tiger's step, looking quite majestic.

"At this hour, no one dares to wander around this street." The master said disapprehantly, but he still lifted the lantern in his hand and looked in the direction that the recruit was pointing.

At this glance, he really saw a figure walking quickly towards the two of them.

"It's so fast, is it a flower thief?" Ma Ye was secretly shocked in his heart.

They were just ordinary patrol soldiers, and they hadn't learned any great martial arts. It's just that he has a lot of strength, if he really faces those people in the rivers and lakes, the two of them add up to 300 catties and have to be explained here!

However, the man came too quickly, Ma Ye had just pulled out the saber on his waist, and the other party had already appeared in front of the two of them.

"Who, we're from the Five Cities Terracotta Division!" Ma Ye is an old fritter after all, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he reported his identity, trying to scare the other party.

The recruit was so frightened that even his hand holding the knife was trembling, and looking at his frightened look, he looked like a soldier.

Appearing in front of these two patrolling soldiers was naturally Thomas Rogen, who had just come to the Ming Dynasty.

Looking at the two people in front of him, who were obviously afraid, Logan couldn't help but feel a burst of amusement.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I just want to ask you a few questions." Logan waved his robe, and the appearance of his clothes had long since changed to a style that matched this era.

"I'll ask you. Which city is this? Logan asked.

"Huh?" Ma Ye and the recruit listened. They were dumbfounded.

Does this man not even know where he is? That's, isn't it?

"Huh?" Seeing that the two of them were stunned and didn't answer, Logan couldn't help but show a touch of anger.

Feeling the sudden coldness of the air around him, Ma Ye and the recruit immediately shuddered.

"It's... This is the capital. Ma Ye said with a trembling mouth.

"It turned out to be the capital." Logan suddenly thought, no wonder the roads here are paved with big bluestone slabs, if it is the capital, then it is a matter of course.

After all, it is the capital of a dynasty, how can it be cold.

Knowing where he was, Logan asked again, "Let me ask you again, do you know Shen Lian's person?" ”

"Shen Lian?" Ma Ye and the recruit glanced at each other and shook their heads.

"What about Jin Yichuan?" Lin Han asked again.

The two still shook their heads.

"Does Lu Jianxing know?"

The two of them continued to shake their heads.

Luo Gen was slightly annoyed and said, "That Zhou Miaotong, do you know? ”

"Ah~! I know that. That Ma Ye was about to subconsciously shake his head, but suddenly realized that he seemed to have heard of this person.

"Oh!" Logan raised his eyebrows, finally asking someone who knew.

"Come on, where is Miaotong Zhou?" Logan asked.

Ma Ye didn't dare to hesitate, the sense of oppression given to him by this person in front of him was so terrible that he didn't dare to tell the slightest lie.

"Nuan Xiang Pavilion, but I haven't seen her either, I've only heard people mention it." Ma Ye said.

As for a small city patrol soldier like Ma Ye, he really can't afford to go to a place like Nuanxiang Pavilion, which is a high-cost place.

However, Logan didn't know what the Warm Fragrance Pavilion was, after all, he didn't even know where he was just now, and it would be strange if he knew the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, but listening to the name, it should be a place like a brothel in the Green House.

"What is the Warm Fragrance Pavilion?" Logan asked.

That Ma Ye's face showed a hint of understanding, and said: "That's a good place, and men want to go." ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Luo Gen snorted coldly.

Frightened, Ma Ye immediately shuddered, and hurriedly said, "That's a green building." ”

Sure enough, Logan knew that this kind of name was either a green house or a brothel in ancient times.

Qinglou and brothels are different, Qinglou women are mostly selling their art but not their bodies, and they all have a skill next to them. Of course, if you offer a price that makes the girl happy, or if someone else takes a fancy to you, it's okay or something.

The brothel is much simpler, and many girls don't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, as long as you have silver, you can do it directly.

"Then Zhou Miaotong is a girl in a green house?" Logan asked.

That Ma Ye nodded.

First of all, Luo Gen has no intention of looking down on the women of the Qinglou, especially these women in ancient times, most of them were forced to be prostitutes, and few women volunteered to be laughing women.

"Let me ask you, where is the Warm Fragrance Pavilion?" Logan continued to ask.

Although I don't know if this Zhou Miaotong is the Zhou Miaotong of the original plot, I should at least go and see it.

Although Ma Ye has never been to Nuanxiang Pavilion, he still knows the location of Nuanxiang Pavilion, after all, he is a member of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and he is very clear about the entire layout of the capital, which street has any famous shops and so on.

The Ma Ye told Luo Gen the location of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion 1510, and said when he was finished: "This master, the Warm Fragrance Pavilion is under the name of the Teaching Workshop Division, don't make trouble there!" ”

It's not that Ma Ye cares about Logan, the two met in the water, and even Logan scared them so much, how could he care about Logan.

The main reason is that he is afraid that Logan will implicate him, after all, the location of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion is still what he told Logan, and if Logan is arrested and confesses to him, he will also suffer.

That's why he said that.

Logan glanced at him, and at a glance he saw through his little bit of caution.

"Don't worry, I'm not here to rob people."

After thinking about it, Logan asked for the name Zhang Yan again, but it turned out that the master and the recruit didn't know.

The five people only asked one, and I don't know if it's the person from the original movie, but at least it's a big gain. The reason why Logan inquired about these people was mainly because these people were lucky people in this world, and he was able to stay in this world for a while longer. After the space-time bead has one more ban, and the fragment of the law of time and space has been absorbed in the previous world, staying in a low-level world like the embroidered spring knife for a year is only equivalent to one hour in the Marvel world.

"Alright, you can continue to patrol the city." After Logan finished speaking, he kicked the ground with his right foot, and the whole person fell to the roof next to him like a roc bird, and disappeared into the darkness after a few ups and downs.

"This ...... Isn't this the legendary light work? That Ma Ye was startled by Logan's movements, and suddenly he was glad that he had just cooperated so well with this person, if he didn't cooperate, with this person's ability, he could pinch him to death with one hand!

In the movie Embroidered Spring Knife, there is no gorgeous light internal skill, and Logan's casual little show can make people amazing.

Of course, if you use such a light skill-like way, you will be shocked, but if you fly directly, you may be regarded as a monster.

Logan didn't have the ability to fly at this time, and what he did just now was just a small warning to the two of them, lest they shake out tonight's events.

At night in the capital, it is pitch black in many places, there are no street lights here, and occasionally there are lanterns hanging at the doors of some large households, but they can only illuminate a small area.

But there are exceptions, such as the Warm Fragrance Pavilion where Logan is going.

In this kind of place, the real peak of consumption is the night of the Qinglou brothel, and there are no less than a dozen brothels in the huge capital, but the best business is still the Nuanxiang Pavilion.

Not for anything else, just for the girls here are the most beautiful, the highest quality, and gorgeously furnished, and those sons or dignitaries who are not bad for money naturally like to come to this kind of place.

Moreover, many of the girls in the Nuanxiang Pavilion were all daughters of large families before they were sold here, and there were even parents who were officials in the court but were sold here after their homes were raided.

These women are naturally more popular than ordinary women.

However, the consumption here in Nuanxiang Pavilion is also very high, and ordinary people really dare not come in.

Logan doesn't have too much gold and silver on his body, not counting the basement of his private manor in the Marvel world, there are no less than hundreds of tons of space-time beads in the space he carries.

As he approached the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, Logan jumped off the roof, and then walked towards the Warm Fragrance Pavilion step by step.

The street where Nuan Xiang Pavilion is located is really different from other places, the whole street is full of lanterns, and there are some night food stalls on the side of the street that are still busy, and the road is full of well-dressed dignitaries and rich sons.

Logan was dressed in a black robe, embroidered with a golden dragon, gold edged and silver thread, and knew that he was a rich man at a glance.

However, he has committed a lot of taboos in this dress, the golden dragon, that is the representative of the royal family, ordinary officials and rich people dare not use it at all, and only the royal family like the prince and prince can wear such clothes.

But Logan just wore it, so the people who saw him along the way retreated, wondering which prince came to have fun at night.

Of course it is impossible for a prince, Emperor Chongzhen has just ascended the throne, and he is still young, where is there such a big prince.

Logan came to the main entrance of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion in a hurry, and the girls who welcomed the guests immediately greeted him with Venus in their eyes as soon as they saw him, which caused several guests who had also just arrived to be dissatisfied, but as soon as they saw Logan's dress, they immediately bowed their heads in fear and ran inside.

"This guest is here for the first time, right?" When I walked into the Warm Fragrance Pavilion, I was immediately greeted by an old bustard.
