Chapter 1247 The Dragon Vein


    When Yun Shang returned to the pce, she was stopped by Liu Wenan, "His Majesty asked you to go


    to the Taiji Pce first after you return."


    Yun Shang was stunned. She looked down at her daily clothes and asked hesitantly, "Is there any other


    courtiers in the Taiji Pce?"


    "No." Liu Wenan seemed to understand what Yun Shang was thinking, "Don''t worry, your majesty. You


    don''t have to go back to Weiyang Pce to change your clothes."


    Yun Shang felt a little relieved and followed Liu Wenan to the Taiji Pce.


    As expected, there was only his Majesty in the hall, not even a servant.


    Even Liu Wenan only sent her to the door, waiting for Yun Shang to close the door as soon as she


    entered.


    Yun Shang raised her eyebrows in doubt, "So mysterious? What''s going on? "


    Luo Qingyan put aside the memorial in his hand, stood up and greeted Yun Shang, "The map you took


    out from the Xiangyi Pce. We have found the ce."


    "So soon?" Yun Shang was a little surprised. The ce on the map was too small, and the State of Xia


    was vast. Yun Shang had thought it would take at least three or four days to get the result. She didn''t


    expect that the result woulde in less than a day.


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "Yes. This ce is not too far from the Jin City. I asked my secret guards to look


    for it from the Jin City, so it didn''t take too much effort to find it."


    As Luo Qingyan spoke, he took two maps from the table and unfolded them.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Yun Shang stood over and looked down at the two map. One of them was the one Yun Shang took out


    from the Xiangyi Pce.


    The other one lookedpletely strange.


    Yun Shang''s eyes swept across the strange map one by one andnded on one of the ces while


    pointing at it, "Here it is."


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "Yes, it''s here. Look, this is the Xinghua River and that is the Jinming River on


    the map. This is the Mingyan River, and they can match each other one by one. "


    "What map is this?"


    "A ce called Jingcang County, to the west of the Jin city. The terrain to the west of the Jin City is a


    littleplicated. The mountains are high and steep, and rivers are crisscrossing. Even the official


    roads can''t be built, so there is not a slightlyrger city more than 100 miles to the West. There are only


    a few small towns, and each of them has a jurisdiction over arge area, but they don''t have arge


    poption. Jingcang County is one of them. "


    Yun Shang nodded and quickly remembered the map of Jingcang County. Then she stood up and


    walked to the wall hanging the map of the State of Xia.


    To the west of the Jin City, Jingcang County.


    And she soon found the location of the county in the map there.


    Yun Shang fixed her eyes on the location of the ce on the map and frowned slightly. It was indeed a


    between the mountains.


    "And the map we found in the Xiangyi Pce, where the red dot marks is also a little special?"


    "Something special?" Yun Shang recalled the map of Jingcang County she had just seen, "What is


    special?"


    "It''s not that it has a special strategic position, but that its position is close to the dragon vein of the


    State of Xia."


    Yun Shang suddenly turned around, "The State of Xia... dragon vein? "


    Luo Qingyan nodded and walked to Yun Shang. He and Yun Shang looked at the map of the State of


    Xia side by side and then drew a line from east to West on the map.


    "From the easternmost to the westernmost, there are continuous mountains along the way, forming the


    natural dragon vein of the State of Xia. His Former Majesty used to tell me that this dragon vein almost


    divided the State of Xia into two parts. Heading north, the terrain isplicated with mountains


    crisscrossing, while thend is slightly barren.


    Of course, it''s barren onlypared to other parts of the State of Xia, butpared with the State of


    Yng, it''s much better.


    To the south of the dragon vein, thend is fertile and the terrain is t. Almost all the most important


    cities of the State of Xia are here. The most important function of the dragon vein is to resist the attacks


    from its enemies. The endless mountains seem to be a natural defense line. Since ancient times, it has


    resisted a lot of attacks. "


    Yun Shang looked down at the map along with Luo Qingyan''s hand. When she took a closer look, she


    found that Luo Qingyan was right...


    "I didn''t notice that before."


    Luo Qingyan smiled, "Many people have this map, but very few people know about the dragon vein,


    and even fewer can see the mystery of it. If his Former Majesty hadn''t told me about it before I


    ascended the throne, I wouldn''t have known about it. "


    Yun Shang nodded. The matter of dragon vein was of great importance. The fewer people knew about


    it, the better.


    Thinking of this, Yun Shang looked at the location of Jingcang County, and soon found that a mountain


    range belonging to the dragon vein was within its jurisdiction. It was indeed not far from the point


    marked on that small map.


    "Is the secret in Lady Li''s hand rted to the dragon vein?"


    Luo Qingyan pursed his lips and said, "I don''t know either. I just feel that Jingcang County is a remote


    ce, and the ce she marked is even more remote. There is almost no vige around. The only


    thing I can think of is that it is rted to the dragon vein."


    Yun Shang suddenly turned around and asked, "Does Xia Houjing know about the dragon vein?"


    "I don''t know whether he knows it or not. I just asked his Former Majesty. His Former Majesty only said


    that he had never mentioned it to him."


    Yun Shang paced back and forth in the hall. Then she said, "His Former Majesty only said that he had


    never mentioned it to Xia Houjing. But it doesn''t mean that Xia Houjing can''t know it from other ces.


    Cao Wenxi''ste husband was also the Crown Prince of the State of Xia, and he was only one step


    away from bing the emperor. It was hard to guarantee that theteCrown Prince had never told


    this to Cao Wenxi. If Cao Wenxi knew it, then Xia Houjing would probably know it, too. "


    Luo Qingyan nodded, "That''s exactly what I''m worried about. Xia Houjing has an affair with Cangjue


    Qingsu. If he knows about it and knows that the dragon vein is blocking any attack to the State of


    Yng, I''m afraid he won''t stop wanting to take action on it."


    But maybe we are thinking too much. It seems that Lady Li had nothing to do with Xia Houjing. How


    could she hide such a secret as about Xia Houjing''s? What kind of intimate rtionship is needed to


    tell such a secret to Lady Li? "


    Yun Shang frowned and looked puzzled.


    However, she was puzzled, but she couldn''t take it lightly, "No matter what, we''d rather kill three


    thousand people by mistake than let them go. If this case is really as we expected, we have to solve it


    as soon as possible, or it will be toote to wait when they take action. "


    "Okay..." Luo Qingyan nodded, "Let''s send the secret guards there to investigate first."
