The matter was almost handled, and the three of them packed up their things and set off to continue heading northwest.Going west after leaving Tucheng, the sparse trees gradually increased. I heard Li Baihan said that the source of Huarong River is here. With water, the trees will become more and more prosperous.

Within a few days, they entered the Forte of Dunliang Prefecture from the semi-desert Tucheng. As they walked northwest, the small soil slopes gradually turned into rocky hills, and several small towns passing by began to build houses with stones.

There are fewer and fewer villages around the hilly area. It is not always possible to meet a village after walking for three to five days. The distance between the cities and counties in Dunliang Prefecture is also getting farther and farther. There is no way that Dunliang Prefecture has a large area. The population is small. After a long time, Shen Hexi really doubts that his fief is not a virgin forest with no people.

The hilly terrain is extremely difficult to walk, and the official road has been in disrepair for many years, which is not much better than the country roads in Yong'an City.This post station has changed from one station 30 miles away to one station 60 miles away. If there is a slight delay on the road, they may have to live in the wild.

Compared with the hard work of Shen Hexi and the others, the two blue eagles he raised are different. The two little guys can finally soar in the sky all day long.

Their growth rate is not fast, it has been half a year, if not for the color of their eyes getting darker, and the bright yellow at the corners of their mouths has faded, he really can't see any changes in them.

The three of them, two eagles, crossed the source of the Huarong River, overlooked the majestic snow-capped mountains, and walked around the mountain road many times. Standing on the top of a certain mountain, Shen Hexi finally saw the shadow of Dunliang City.

In a large basin, an extremely huge city was built against the mountain, and this city was several times larger than the entire Yong'an City.A big river flows from the snow-capped mountains in the distance, crosses the entire Dunliang Prefecture and enters the forest in the distance.

Perhaps because of the obstacles of these high mountains, the wind and sand in the north are blocked by the majestic mountains. The environment in Dunliang City is better than that in Tucheng.It's just better. Although there are forests here, the trees are very sparse. The farmland here is not fertile due to too many rocks. Anyway, Shen Hexi can count the fields that can grow white wheat with ten fingers.

There are not many farmlands here, but there are large tracts of grassy plains. The common people who have no land tend to raise cattle and sheep to graze on the plains, and make a living with the little money they sell cattle and sheep every year.

Standing on the mountain, I feel that Dunliang City is close in front of my eyes, but it is still far away when I walk.The carriage moved slowly on the bumpy road, Shen Hexi sat enough in the carriage, and Li Baihan rode a horse together and followed beside the carriage.

"When was Han Ge Dunliang City built, and why was it built in such a remote place." Shen Hexi didn't see some people until he saw Dunliang City, and there were many villages around Dunliang City.

"Dunliang City is an ancient city, and even existed longer than Qingmu Kingdom. Although it is barren here, it is rich in underground mineral deposits. However, in the past few decades, the two large mines here have been exhausted, and no other mines have been found. The mines are slowly declining." Otherwise, Dunliang City would not have had a general in charge before, just to take care of the two mines.

"What kind of mine is it? Why haven't I heard you mention it?" Shen Hexi asked.

"A gold mine and an iron mine. These two mines have been abandoned for many years. If you hadn't asked, I would have forgotten that there were two mines in Dunliang City." Li Baihan explained.

Although Li Bohan said that there is no more ore to be dug here, Shen Hexi doesn't think so. Maybe he will find gold mines after he comes here. If he really finds one or two gold mines, he will be prosperous.

Dunliang City is located in the basin, and Shen Hexi can no longer see the shadow of Dunliang City when he comes down from the mountain. His eyes are full of half-person-high grass and towering trees. Occasionally, one or two pieces of reclaimed farmland can be seen among the grass.The farmland is full of sorghum, and the thick sorghum stalks flutter in the wind. Dunliang City only harvests one season of wheat a year, but the yield of wheat is not enough. In order to fill their stomachs, many farmers will reclaim some land in the mountains outside to grow sorghum.Sorghum has no requirements on the growth environment. As long as there is soil, it can grow huge sorghum ears, and the mass production is very impressive.However, the taste of sorghum is slightly astringent and difficult to swallow.

These unpalatable sorghum rice is also a life-saving food when there is no food to eat.

Facing the scorching sun, the three of Shen Hexi finally came to Dunliang City from thousands of miles away. The city they entered was not as desolate as Shen Hexi imagined. There were many shops on the street, and there were many people coming and going. Tucheng doesn't know how many times stronger.Shen Hexi, who was sitting in the carriage, finally breathed a sigh of relief. His Dunliang City was fine, not a desolate empty city.

According to Li Bohan, there is a primeval forest to the west. As for the other side of the primeval forest, I don't know where it is, and no one has been there for the time being.This Dunliang City can be said to be the westernmost part of Qingmu Kingdom.

King Dunliang's Mansion is the best building in Dunliang City. When I entered the city, I didn't even ask about it. I saw the King's Mansion of Dunliang with a tall tower.

Dunliang Prince's Mansion has been rebuilt, and Shen Hexi can see the gorgeous gate of his mansion from a long distance away.The two vermilion front doors were closed tightly, and two small doors were opened beside them, and a few servants were sitting in the small doors, talking and laughing without knowing what they were discussing.

Seeing such a scene, Shen Hexi frowned, didn't these servants look bad if the master wasn't here, there are so many people coming and going on this road, and when everyone passed by here, they would take a glance at the little guy sitting at the small door The boy inside. NND is really embarrassing, Shen Hexi couldn't help but want to swear.

"Open the main door, King Dunliang is back." Yan Nu ignored the servants and walked forward alone.

The boy who was talking and joking inside the small gate saw the tall Yan Nu standing in front of the Dunliang Palace and shouted. They looked at each other and laughed. One of the boys who looked older stood Standing up, he yelled at Yan Nu angrily, "You little thief from there, my lord is well in the palace."

This boy's words made Yan Nu stunned for a moment, what's going on, Shen Hexi is clearly behind him, who is the King Dunliang that this boy is talking about.

"Yan Nu gave him the badge and called Aunt Qing out." Li Bohan said with a slight frown.

Yan Nu has Shen Hexi's identity badge on his body, every fief prince has one, this thing is definitely not fake.

The boy in charge was not stupid either. He saw Yan Nuzhen took out a green waist card with red tassels, no matter whether he could see the pattern on it or not, he was a little weak in fright.The prince's badge will definitely not be faked, so who is that in the palace.

"Go, call the lady in charge who is serving the lord." The boy sent another boy beside him to call Bai Qing, and he and the two of them stood in front of the small door and said kindly, "My little brother, wait a moment." After a while, I've already sent someone to call the female officer in charge." While speaking, the arrogant and domineering servant had already changed into a flattering face.

He wondered if the prince just came back from going out today?But the three people in front of the door were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and they didn't have the guard of honor of the prince, it didn't look like the prince was coming back.After much deliberation, he couldn't come up with a reason, but with the prince's waist card, he had better be careful.

The mansion of Prince Dunliang is not small, Bai Qing heard a report from a servant that there was a person pretending to be King Dunliang outside and asked her to go out and meet him.The teapot in Bai Qing's hand fell to the ground with a bang, and the little boy on the soft couch in the house was startled when he heard the noise outside the door, and shouted angrily, "I'm scared to death, Mr. Bai, what are you doing?" of."

Bai Qing's beautiful eyes glanced at the little boy, then turned around and ran out of the gate quickly, lifting the hem of her skirt.The little boy behind him seemed to shout something again, but it didn't matter anymore, her Xi'er came back alive, and she was finally looking forward to her return.Bai Qing shed tears while running, and her face was covered with tears when she ran to the gate.

"Aunt Qing." Shen Hexi shouted happily when he saw Bai Qing running out of the small door with her skirt lifted up, regardless of her appearance.Li Baihan jumped off the horse and carried Shen Hexi down. He rushed towards Bai Qing like a small cannonball as soon as he landed.

"Aunt Qing, I miss you so much." Shen Hexi, who was held in Bai Qing's arms, wiped away the tears from the corners of Bai Qing's eyes.

"Aunt Qing, I also miss Xi'er." Bai Qing choked up.She has been in Dunliang Mansion for more than three months, and she lives in missing Shen Hexi every day.

"Aunt Qing, what's the matter with you." Seeing Bai Qing crying so sadly, Shen Hexi felt a little uneasy. Could it be that something happened when he was not around.

Bai Qing is just in her 20s this year. She was still a charming red rose in Yong'an City, but Shen Hexi hadn't seen her for half a year. Her blue hair was actually mixed with a few white hairs. It no longer exists, and the haggard face can't be covered even with more makeup. What caused a flower to wither quickly.

"Wait a minute, Aunt Qing will tell you slowly, let's go back to the palace first." Bai Qing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, saluted Li Bohan and said, "Fourth prince, if someone is rude to Xi'er later, please help me Be careful, I can't explain a word or two about things here."

"Aunt Qing, don't worry." Li Baihan now has the status of a prince, but he will never forget those who treat him well.When she met Bai Qing, she still respectfully called her aunt.
