Volume 1: Storm in the Western Regions Chapter 40 Trends(2/2)
"Oh! Hongge Boss Zhu's craftsmanship!"
Yuan Kexin frowned slightly.
She didn't want Ye Sanniang to know too much, but there was nothing she could do at the moment. Especially since Zhao Rang seemed to trust her very much, which made Yuan Kexin a little puzzled...
"What's wrong with this map?"
Yuan Kexin put it together, took it apart, reassembled it into a map, and held it up to the light.
It's a sunny day today, so no candlelight is needed.
Every time Zhao Rang sees these originally unrelated light points being transformed into lines, outlining mountains, rivers, lakes, and Gobi oasis, he feels very magical!
Even though he had seen it several times, he still felt this way.
"Lukeqin!"
Yuan Kexin stretched out his hand and aimed at a body of water on the map.
Zhao Rang remembered that Yuan Mingkong once said that this was the summer pasture of the tribe where the fourth prince Anzuo belonged. Lu Keqin should be the name of this oasis.
"Yes, Luqin Grassland! This is the summer pasture of the Gongchen tribe."
"Didn't Princess Amani tell you that Anzuo and his father have left the royal city and returned to the tribe? Then they are definitely in Luqin now!"
"Where are we now?"
Yuan Kexin said:
"The map is all due south and north, then up north and down south. The royal city is a little south of Lu Keqin's east, so..."
Yuan Kexin pressed her finger on the table outside the map.
"It seems that we are not close to Lu Keqin!"
Zhao Rang said.
According to the rules of Lanmo Kingdom, the land around King Lanmo City belongs to the owner of the kingdom, that is, the Guihanxing tribe.
The summer pasture of the Gongchen tribe can be reached only after leaving the royal city and heading west, crossing the entire Hanxing tribe's surrounding territory.
On the way, you have to climb a mountain and cross a long river.
Daban is the pass of the mountain.
In some Daban, mountain people live there, forming a relatively isolated town.
As for the Dierqiang River, it flows from the mountains further west than the Gongchen tribe's summer pasture - the Luqin grassland, and stretches all the way to King Lanmo's city.
Zhao Rang suddenly remembered a book he had loved listening to when he was a child. It told the story of a master who took three apprentices with different skills to slay demons and go to the land of bliss in the west to seek Buddha enlightenment.
At that time, he was very moved by the solitary smoke in the desert and the sunset over the long river in the Western Regions! But when these were really in front of him, Zhao Rang felt a headache...
Rubbing his temples, Zhao Rang turned to look at Yuan Kexin, waiting for her next words.
This girl would never take out a map and explain it to Zhao Rang in detail for no reason.
"If my brother finds out that the shadow guards in the royal city have betrayed him, he will rush here without stopping!"
"Lukeqin?"
Zhao Rang asked.
Yuan Kexin shook his head, held Zhao Rang's hand, and pointed to a town next to Lukqin Grassland.
"Here, Chagan Tologai."
These place names in the Western Regions are long and convoluted, and the meaning is not clear at all.
Zhao Rang repeated the name several times before he could barely remember it.
"Are you sure your brother will go here?"
Yuan Kexin nodded firmly:
"He told me!"
