When Yunshang returned to the palace, Liu Wen'an stopped her: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty told you to go to the Tai Chi Hall first after returning to the palace."
Yun Chang was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head to look at the uniform she was wearing, and hesitated: "Are there other courtiers in the Tai Chi Hall?"
"No." Liu Wen'an seemed to understand what Yun Chang was thinking: "Your Majesty, don't worry, only His Majesty is here, and your Majesty doesn't have to go back to Weiyang Palace to change clothes."
Only then did Yun Chang feel a little relieved, and followed Liu Wen'an to the Tai Chi Hall.
As expected, only His Majesty was in the palace, not even a palace attendant.
Even Liu Wen'an only sent her outside the door, waiting for Yun Chang to enter the hall, and then closed the door of the main hall.
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "Such a mystery? What is this going to do?"
Luo Qingyan put the memorial in his hand aside, stood up and faced Yunshang: "The map you took out from Xiangyi Palace has already found its place."
"So fast?" Yunshang was a little surprised, the place drawn on the map was too small, and Xia Guo had a vast territory, Yunshang thought it would take three or four days to get results, but she didn't expect it to be less than a day In time, there are already results.
Luo nodded softly: "Yes, this place is not too far from Jincheng. I asked the dark guard to start looking for it from Jincheng, so I found it without much effort."
Luo said softly, took two maps from his hand and unfolded them.
Yunshang stood over and looked down at the two maps, one of which was the one that Yunshang took out from Xiangyi Palace.
The other looked completely unfamiliar.
Yun Chang's eyes swept across the unfamiliar map one by one, and landed on one of the places: "Here."
Luo nodded lightly: "Yes, it's here. You see, this is the Xinghua River and Jinming River on that map, and this is Mingyan Mountain. They can be mapped one by one."
"Where is this map?"
"A place called Jingcang County is west of Jincheng. The terrain to the west of Jincheng is a bit complicated, with high and steep mountains and criss-cross rivers. Even official roads cannot be built, so there is no one for more than a hundred miles to the west. Slightly larger cities have only a few small counties, and the area under the jurisdiction of each county is not small, but the population is not large, and Jingcang County is one of them."
Yun Chang nodded, and quickly memorized the map of Jingcang County in her mind, then stood up, and walked to the wall with the map of Xia Guo hanging on the side.
From Jincheng to the west, through Cang County.
However, he quickly found the location of the county seat.
Yun Chang fixed her eyes on the location of the county on the map, and frowned slightly, but the terrain was indeed complicated. This Cang County is almost all mountains, and there must be rivers and streams between the mountains.
"Also, the map found in Xiangyi Palace, where the red dot marks the location, is also a bit special?"
"Something special?" Yunshang recalled the map of Jingcang County that she had seen just now: "Where is the special?"
"It's not that it has a special strategic position, but that it's close to the dragon vein of Xia Kingdom."
Yun Shang suddenly turned her head: "Xia Guo's... dragon veins?"
Luo nodded softly, walked to Yunshang's side, and looked at the map of Xia Kingdom side by side with Yunshang. His fingers drew a line on the map from east to west.
"From here in the east to here in the west, there are endless mountains on this road, forming the dragon vein of Xia Kingdom. When the Supreme Emperor told me about this before, this dragon vein, It almost divides the country of Xia into two, and to the north, the terrain is complicated, with mountains criss-crossing and the land a bit barren."
"Of course, this barrenness is only much better than the Yelang Kingdom in the north compared to other places in the Xia Kingdom."
"This dragon vein goes south, the land is fertile, and the terrain is relatively flat. Almost the most important cities of Xia Kingdom are south of this dragon vein. The most important function of this dragon vein is to resist the attacks of other enemy countries. This endless mountain range, It is like a natural line of defense. Since ancient times, it has withstood many attacks."
Yun Shang followed Luo Qingyan's hand and looked down. After a closer look, it was really as Luo Qingyan said...
"I hadn't noticed that much before."
Luo smiled softly: "Many people have this map, but very few people know about the dragon veins, and very few people can see the mystery of it. If the Supreme Emperor hadn't told me about this before I became the throne The thing is, I don’t know about it.”
Yun Chang nodded, the matter of the dragon veins is of great importance, and indeed the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Thinking of this in her heart, Yunshang looked at the location of Jingcang County again, and soon found the mountain range belonging to the dragon veins within its jurisdiction, but it was really separated from the point marked on the small map not far.
"Could it be that the secret held by Concubine Li is related to the dragon's veins?"
Luo Qingyan pursed his lips: "I don't know, I just feel that this Jingcang County is remote, and the place she marked is even more remote. There is almost no village around. The only thing I can think of is Yes, it has something to do with the dragon veins."
Yun Shang turned her head abruptly: "Does Xia Houjing know about the dragon veins?"
"I don't know if he knows, but I asked the Supreme Emperor, and the Supreme Emperor only said that he never talked to him about it."
Yun Shang paced back and forth in the hall: "The Supreme Emperor only said that he never talked about this matter with Xia Houjing. However, it does not mean that Xia Houjing cannot know about this matter from other places. "
"Cao Wenxi's previous husband was also the prince of the Xia Kingdom, and he was only one step away from becoming emperor. It's hard to guarantee that the one who didn't know about this matter is also hard to guarantee. I told Cao Wenxi about this. If Cao Wenxi knew about it, then Xia Houjing would probably know about it too."
Luo Qingyan nodded: "That's what I'm worried about. Xia Houjing and Cangjue Qingsu hooked up together. If he knew about this and knew that this dragon vein blocked the attack of Yelang Kingdom, it's hard to guarantee that he wouldn't think about it. Get your hands on it."
"However, it is also possible that we are thinking too much. Concubine Li doesn't seem to have the slightest relationship with Xia Houjing. How can she hide Xia Houjing's secrets? What kind of intimate relationship does it take to tell such a secret? Concubine Yu Li?"
Yun Chang frowned slightly, with a puzzled expression.
I just don't understand, but I can't take it lightly: "No matter what, I would rather kill three thousand by mistake than let it go. If this place is really as we expected, it must be resolved as soon as possible. It will be too late for them to start.”
"Hmm..." Luo nodded softly, "Let's send the hidden guards here to investigate first."
