Chapter 1853: Chapter 1850: For One Person, Annihilate a Nation 2
Xia Weibao flung herself onto the sofa, not knowing what muscle she had pulled, causing her face to change in pain.
Zhuang Xuejun noticed her discomfort and her slightly awkward walking posture, and asked with concern, "What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Xia Weibao blushed, "It’s nothing."
She couldn’t possibly say that she had been overly indulgent with her husband last night, and now her whole body was protesting from overuse, right?
Xu Jiayang lifted his head from the documents, glanced at her, said nothing, and continued reading.
Zhuang Xuejun was still worried, "Are you sure you’re okay? Do you want me to go to the hospital with you?"
Xia Weibao’s face turned even redder. If she went to the hospital for something like this, she’d never live it down!
Quickly changing the subject, "What script were you talking about just now?"
"Oh, it’s this one."
Zhuang Xuejun’s attention was indeed diverted, and she handed over the script.
Xia Weibao took it and first glanced at the title, "Domination."
A very imposing name, instantly reminiscent of ancient emperors conquering the world.
Upon looking at the content, it indeed was about an ancient emperor’s grand ambitions.
"Western Dragon Country?"
Xia Weibao pondered this name. What era was the Western Dragon Country from?
She flipped through the memories of the original owner, but found no sign of such a dynasty in history.
Could it be that the original owner’s history knowledge was so poor that she had no impression of ancient dynasties?
Or perhaps, this dynasty didn’t exist and was a fictional creation of the plot?
She didn’t immediately voice her doubts but seriously recalled the original owner’s memory to see if the dynasty really didn’t exist.
If she exposed herself as an illiterate, that would be embarrassing.
Seeing her lost in thought, Zhuang Xuejun couldn’t help but ask, "Baby, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing," Xia Weibao snapped back to reality and said, "This Western Dragon Country... why don’t I remember it?"
After searching through all the original owner’s historical memories, she indeed found nothing.
Zhuang Xuejun shrugged, "It should be fictional. There’s no such dynasty in history. It’s not unusual; many movies are set in fictional worlds.
I read the script; it’s well-written, and most importantly, it has a strong cast, substantial funding, and is directed by a world-renowned director. I think it’s quite suitable."
Xia Weibao nodded, indicating she understood.
Xu Jiayang chuckled, "The Western Dragon Country is not fictional; there really was such a dynasty in history."
"Huh? How come I don’t know? Director Xu, don’t fool me. I was top of my class in history back in the day!" Zhuang Xuejun didn’t believe him.
Xia Weibao also wore an expression of disbelief.
Xu Jiayang placed his pen down, "Strictly speaking, it can’t be called a dynasty because the founding emperor died before he could ascend the throne.
The founding emperor of the Western Dragon Country had conquered the land, established the name of the country, and was prepared for the enthronement ceremony. The dynastic transition was set, and envoys from various countries had come to congratulate.
Everything was ready, and the new dynasty was about to be established, but for some unknown reason, on the day before the enthronement, the Western Dragon Emperor suddenly went mad and ordered the massacre of the nation."
Zhuang Xuejun turned pale, "Massacre of the nation?"
Xia Weibao’s face looked a bit grim, "What do you mean?"
"It means the man who was about to become emperor suddenly ordered his million-strong army to turn their blades on his own people, cleansing the Western Dragon Country with blood, including those envoys from neighboring countries who came to congratulate, leaving no survivors.
He killed everyone in the country and then committed suicide himself.
He never ascended the throne, and so the new dynasty was never established, which is why there’s no record of this country in history.
Moreover, all the historians of that time died too, so naturally, there are no records.
I found out from brief mentions in the historical texts of other countries from the same time, and it seems like it was all because of a woman."
