Chapter 573 Zhenxi Mansion

Finally, Xu Yuan decided to go to the Dragon Burial Valley first.

The directional name of the Dragon Burial Valley is a special term in "Cangyuan". In the officialdom of Da Yan, the place is called Qianji Gorge.

According to the map that Xu Yuan obtained from the Black Scale Guard, this is a huge rift valley that almost divides the entire Xizezhou and the border between the Southern Desert.

Stretching for thousands of miles, the branch rift valleys spreading from the main rift valley are like spider webs crawling all over the land.

Decades ago, this Qianji Gorge was the natural border dividing line between Da Yan and the Tartar Chao Royal Court. However, after the efforts of Di An and the others, the Zhenxi Army has crossed this natural barrier and set up the Southern Desert in the relatively rich area in the southern part of the desert, completely incorporating this spectacular giant gorge into the imperial territory.

Starting from Kaiyuan Prefecture in Dayingzhou, Xu Yuan took Ran Qingmo and the two girls to do some "low-level" side quests along the way while moving quickly towards the west.

This journey was long, but also quite interesting.

The bad taste of playing the pig to eat the tiger.

It must be said that the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders.

Every time he arrived at a town, because Da Bingtuozi followed him, although Xu Yuan could not experience the local customs and customs, it was still quite enjoyable to try the local specialties.

And this habit also made Xu Yuan realize that there were really people who would trouble him because they coveted the beauty of Da Bingtuozi and Xiaobai.

Going to a famous local restaurant for dinner, Ran Qingmo and Bai Muxi could not eat with a veil.

The two women were already slender and beautiful, and it would be easy to attract some flies once their true faces were revealed.

Most people were still smart, and they left after being rejected, but after all, the places Xu Yuan went to were basically the best local wine shops, and there were often some second-generations gathering there.

After many times, he always met a few dandies whose cerebellum controlled the brain, and there were even dandies who wanted to drug the three people with the eighth-grade quenching veins.

However, the dandies in the prefectures and states basically have some vision, and these things basically happened in some small counties.

It belongs to the case that the more turtles in the shallow pond, the more demons in the temple.

But this does not mean that there are no brainless people in the prefectures and states.

When passing through Mingfeng County in Tianhuazhou, after killing a dandy controlled by Xiaonai, he also led to the pursuit of his clan.

This made Xu Yuan really experience the treatment of the protagonist of the plot.

Under Xu Yuan's deliberate request for fun, Da Bingtuozi and Xiaobai did not show their true strength. First, the dandy guards, then the worshippers and elders, and finally even the grandmaster of their clan was alarmed.

But unfortunately, the ancestor took great pains to catch up with the three of them, but was beaten up by Da Bingtuozi and Xiaobai in a few moves.

Xu Yuan had no chance to make a move.

In addition to this evil taste of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Xu Yuan also met some wonderful people.

Local emerging sects.

The establishment of martial arts schools has led to an influx of grassroots martial artists, and the decree from Emperor An has led many local governments to consciously cultivate some secular sects to accept these martial artists and help deal with local troubles.

This directly formed the prototype of a "martial arts world" among the grassroots secular world.

On the way to the west, Xu Yuan and his three companions met many martial artists, but the nicknames they gave themselves made it difficult for Xu Yuan to hold back.

XX Fairy.

XX Knife.

XX Leg.

There is even XX Venerable.

However, although the nicknames are awkward, many of them are still good. At least the female knight known as "XX Fairy" is indeed outstanding in appearance. When chatting with these martial artists, Xu Yuan not only learned some local anecdotes, but also had unexpected surprises.

In Xizezhou, there is a female knight named Baiji Fairy who has recently become famous for single-handedly destroying a thousand-man bandit camp in Qianji Gorge.

If Xu Yuan remembered correctly, the name Bai Ji seemed to be the pseudonym of the little dragon girl in the Great Yan Dynasty.

Xu Yuan was very excited to learn that his former paper wife had appeared. He was so excited that he reported the matter to the Black Scale Guards that night.

Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. After a long journey of two months, Xu Yuan finally arrived at the capital of Xizezhou with Ran Qingmo and his two daughters.

The administrative area of ​​Xizezhou appeared as a long strip on the map of Great Yan. It was only more than 3,000 miles from east to west, but more than 20,000 miles from north to south.

It borders the Wanxing Mountains in the southwest and the desert in the northwest. It is a battle-hardened place on the border of Great Yan. In bad years, it needs to face the invasion of the desert and the ancient abyss at the same time.

In order to deal with this situation, although the government order has not been issued, Xizezhou has been divided into two defense zones in the north and south with Tianxingai, a major town in the middle section, as the central axis.

The desert is guarded by the Zhenxi Army in the north, while the ancient abyss in the south is jointly guarded by the Great Yan Border Army and the Xuanjia Army.

The Wanxiang Sect that Xu Yuan had visited before is at the southernmost tip of Xizezhou. It is really hard to imagine that the scenery of a continent can be so different.

In the south, there are birds singing, flowers, grass and trees, while in the north, there are yellow sands and wild geese flying in the desert.

Xizezhou Prefecture is not a prosperous giant city like the hinterland of Great Yan, nor is it a giant fortress built on the plain between the two mountains like Beifeng City, but an out-and-out narrow city.

It is located on a huge protrusion on the west side of Qianji Gorge.

There are ten thousand-foot-high cliffs on both the north and south sides, and two towering city walls built along the terrain on the east and west sides.

Outside the west gate is one of the few narrow plank roads that can directly cross the ten thousand-foot-high chasm of Qianji Gorge to the West Desert.

However, after generations of reinforcement and filling by craftsmen, this plank road is now hundreds of feet wide and is the most important supply route for Da Yan to transport materials to the Southern Desert Prefecture.

Oh, that's right.

The name of Xize Prefecture is Zhenxi, and the origin of this name is naturally inseparable from the family of Xu Yuan's good-hearted brother.

The Marquis of Zhenxi personally wrote a letter to change the location of Xize Prefecture to the pass where it intersects with the desert. In order to reward his bravery, the emperor directly named the prefecture Zhenxi.

This is the garrison of the Zhenxi Army, but it was only a former garrison.

The Marquis of Zhenxi is a traditional soldier who has always practiced the idea of ​​a famous general guarding the country's gate.

After the front line fought through Qianji Gorge, the garrison of the Zhenxi Army has moved west again to the Southern Desert Prefecture.

Today, Zhenxi Prefecture only has two battalions rotated from the front line to guard this important life supply line for the Southern Desert Prefecture.

Therefore, Xu Yuan's idea of ​​meeting his good-hearted brother naturally fell through.

But on second thought, there is nothing to regret.

Even if we meet, there is nothing interesting except catching up with my brother.

After all, he brought his family with him this time.

He will definitely not be able to appreciate the local customs and practices introduced in Li Junwu's letters before.
