Chapter 1247 The Dragon Vein

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

to the Taiji Palace 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 Palace?"

"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 Palace to change your clothes."

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

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 Palace. We have found the place."

"So soon?" Yun Shang was a little surprised. The place 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 would come in less than a day.

Luo Qingyan nodded, "Yes. This place 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.

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

from the Xiangyi Palace.

The other one looked completely strange.

Yun Shang's eyes swept across the strange map one by one and landed on one of the places 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 place called Jingcang County, to the west of the Jin city. The terrain to the west of the Jin City is a

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

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

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

population. 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 place on the map and frowned slightly. It was indeed a

complicated terrain. There were almost all mountains in the place, and there were rivers and streams

between the mountains.

"And the map we found in the Xiangyi Palace, 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 is complicated with mountains

crisscrossing, while the land is slightly barren.

Of course, it's barren only compared to other parts of the State of Xia, but compared with the State of

Yelang, it's much better.

To the south of the dragon vein, the land is fertile and the terrain is flat. 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 related 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

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

thing I can think of is that it is related 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 places.

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

away from becoming the emperor. It was hard to guarantee that the lateCrown 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

Yelang, 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 relationship 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 too late to wait when they take action. "

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