After parting ways with Zhou Qingchuan, Yun Sheng and the others passed through the difficult Yama Ridge and headed south.
As they headed south, the terrain changed from rugged mountain ridges to gentle hills, and the road was much easier to walk on.
Yun Sheng listened to Yun Canglang and Zhou Quan's explanations along the way, and had a certain understanding of the southern border of Zhou State.
"It's been almost nine years. Sheng 'er, this was once your second uncle's battlefield. In another two days, we will be able to enter Nan Ming Town." As Yun Canglang neared the southern border, he suddenly felt nostalgic. He thought of the situation when he was in his twenties and was filled with emotions.
The members of the Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps also fell silent.
At the southern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, one thousand soldiers of the Yun Clan had lost their lives. For many of the members of the Heaven Expedition Hunting Corps, among these people, there were their fathers, brothers, and good brothers.
Some of them didn't even bring back their corpses.
"Second Uncle, we have to stand up from where we fell. This time, we have to show the soldiers of Later Qin the power of our Zhou State!" Yun Sheng encouraged everyone.
"Good! Well said. Sheng 'er, we came to the southern border this time not only to investigate the situation of the purple gold mine, but also to find the corpses of our brothers who died on the battlefield. "Yun Canglang was defeated and crippled back then. In a hurry, he only had time to bury the corpses of the soldiers.
He came this time to fulfill his long-cherished wish of bringing the corpses of his brothers back to the Jade Capital.
"Second Uncle, I've already made an appointment with Zong Yi to meet at the restaurant in the small town ahead. We will continue on our journey and rest for the night in the town ahead." Yun Sheng looked at the sun and saw that it was already close to dusk.
As they neared the borders of Zhou State, they had already shed their hunting uniforms.
Yun Canglang had already said that the imperial court of Zhou State had neglected their management of this area and it had already become a lawless area.
The citizens of Zhou State and Later Qin were mostly married and traded with each other, so it was inevitable that there would be some spies involved.
The sudden appearance of the Heaven Extermination Hunting Corps, which only had a hundred people, was undoubtedly very eye-catching.
In order to prevent being discovered, they had to disguise themselves.
The current Heaven Expedition Hunting Army had already changed into a merchant group.
Everyone's clothes were borrowed from Zhou Qingchuan earlier.
Yun Canglang's aura was imposing, so he dressed up as a caravan leader. Yun Sheng also dressed up as a fair-skinned young master.
The others also dressed up as the merchant's guards. As for the oriole, she dressed up as Yun Sheng's maid.
According to the agreement between Yun Sheng and Zong Yi, they arrived at a small town in the south called Southern Cliff Town.
"Everyone, let's rest at the Yuelai and Renhe Inns up ahead." Yun Canglang quickly found two inns in town. Due to the large number of people, the caravan had no choice but to find two inns.
Yun Sheng took advantage of the time when everyone was busy to inform Yun Canglang and brought Huang Que to the restaurant in town.
Although Southern Cliff Town was only a border town, it was densely populated and there were many caravans coming and going.
Yun Sheng's outfit today was that of an elegant young master. She wore a brocade shirt, short riding boots and a jade crown on her head.
Her lips were red and her teeth were white. With a pair of black eyes, she really looked like a young master who had gone out to travel.
Huang Que was also dressed up as a beautiful maid. She wore a pink skirt and a green jacket. When the two of them walked together, they attracted the attention of many people.
"Huang Que, we are here to inquire about the whereabouts of the purple gold ore vein. Why don't we ask the passersby along the way?" Yun Sheng and Huang Que spoke as they walked.
Yun Canglang also did not know the exact whereabouts of the purple gold ore vein.
Yun Sheng had also asked before. Then what about the people who had participated in the search for the purple gold ore vein and the miners who had participated in the early development?
Yun Canglang hesitated for a moment and did not speak.
Yun Sheng suddenly understood that those people must have been killed.
In front of the interests of the country, the lives of the commoners were worthless.
As a result, the search for the purple gold ore vein this time was even more difficult.
The purple gold ore vein was very likely to be located at the intersection of the vast Zhou State, Later Qin and Tang Yuan States. Although the terrain in this area was flat, the area was very wide and spanned hundreds of miles.
Yun Sheng did not have any magical beasts that she could use to search for the ore, and this made her feel a little awkward.
Yun Sheng had thought that the Zong Family would be able to find some clues with the help of the Bat King. However, the Zong Family had not replied. It looked like the results would definitely be disappointing.
The two of them walked into a restaurant and found a table facing the street. They ordered a few dishes and waited for the Zong Family to arrive.
As they were thinking, a peddler came over.
The restaurants in Southern Cliff Town were open to the public. Some peddlers and flower sellers would walk around the restaurants and sell some local specialties and trinkets to the merchants passing through the border.
This peddler who came over was different from the usual peddlers. He had a careful look on his face and lowered his voice as he said, "This noble young master, looking at you, you don't look like you are here to do business. I have something here, do you want to take a look?"
The peddler's eyesight was not bad. He saw that Yun Sheng's clothes did not look like those weather-beaten merchants and thought that he was a young master from one of those aristocratic families.
The peddlers in this area were all shrewd people. They knew very well that these young masters were most interested in adventures.
When the oriole saw this, he was about to chase him away, but was stopped by Yun Sheng's gaze.
"Little brother, what are you selling?" Yun Sheng's face was full of smiles.
Seeing that this young master was very amiable, the peddler became even more enthusiastic.
He carefully took out a piece of animal skin paper and spread it out in front of Yun Sheng.
Yun Sheng had just seen the words' map of the mineral vein 'when the peddler kept the map away.
"Young Master, did you see it clearly? That's great news. I'll tell it to you in secret." The peddler lowered his voice and hid the map well, afraid that someone else would see it.
Map of the mineral vein? Could it be the map of the purple gold mine?
Yun Sheng was still thinking.
"Go away, how dare you deceive us to come here." The peddler was grabbed by the pocket and circled around.
The peddler did not even have time to shout before he was thrown out of the restaurant like a stone.
There were screams coming from the street.
The Zong Family was half angry and half amused as he stood by the side.
"Zong Family, what is going on?" Yun Sheng finally understood that there was a problem with the map.
"Hey, that is a scammer. There are many people selling these kinds of deceptive things in this area. There are more than ten versions of the so-called mineral vein map. "The zong personality was annoyed. He took out more than ten mineral vein maps from his storage ring and showed them to Yun Sheng.
It turned out that the Zong Family came here a month ago because he wanted to complete the task that Yun Sheng had given him to find the mineral vein. He had also asked around.
In the end, he met the peddler just now.
Although the Zong Family was old, he had not really walked around the continent for a long time. He was not careful and he was cheated by the peddler.
When he took the so-called map of the mineral vein and searched for it in the mountains and plains for more than ten days, he found that the map of the mineral vein was fake.
After he came back, he gave the peddler a good beating and took away the so-called dozens of versions of the mineral vein map in the peddler's hands.
Today, he received Yun Sheng's signal and immediately rushed over. Who knew that he would meet another scammer.
