The caravan traveled eastward, from Pingcheng, passing through Wancheng, Yanmen and Pingchuan in turn, all along the way were desolate deserts or grasslands, sparsely populated. Now entering the boundary of Xianyang, what catches your eye is a piece of verdant and verdant greenery.

Xianyang is located in the transition zone between the northwest border and the mainland, but this Xianyang is not the other Xianyang, and the Xianyang here is not exactly the same as the Xianyang in Mu Qingwan's cognition, but there are also many similarities.

Xianyang of the Jing Dynasty is one of the ten main cities, although it is not located in the border area, but throughout the ages, Xianyang has always been a very important strategic place, and the fundamental reason is because of Xianyang's specialties and resources.

Xianyang is rich in minerals, nearly sixty percent of the iron ore and coal mines in the Jing Dynasty are distributed here, of course, in Mu Qingwan's view, the current productivity is low, and the exploitation of natural resources is limited by production technology and people's cognitive level, which is very limited, so the minerals with mining value in Xianyang are far more than what is in front of them.

In ancient times, there were many restrictions on the production of weapons, and of course, the mining rights of the main iron and coal mines were concentrated in the central government, and they could only be operated through government-run workshops. But there are also many small-scale private workshops, mainly engaged in the mining of small-scale minerals, and the output is not large.

There are many hills in Xianyang, large and small, with lush trees and lush vegetation, and they are lush and green as far as the eye can see. As soon as she entered Xianyang, Mu Qingwan felt that her breathing was much easier, and her whole mood became very good.

It was already late when they arrived in Xianyang, and after a long trek, the caravan checked into a long-established inn and decided to rest in Xianyang for two days before setting off.

After a little freshening up and resting, Mu Chen and Mu Qingwan went to bed to rest. Going out tomorrow to go out for a spin in Xianyang, Xu Niangzi was not worried about the two children, so she decided to go with her. So Mu Chen, Mu Qingwan and Xu Niangzi, plus Ji Xiang Ruyi and Hu Zhao, took a stroll on the street after resting for a night.

There are many shops on the streets of Xianyang, and the large and small shops are in good order.

The pasta here is very authentic and has a very strong flavor that arouses cravings in the stomach. A few people found an old shop and decided to have breakfast here.

Because I didn't want to attract too much attention, I just dressed up as an ordinary person, so I didn't go to the upstairs box, but on the first floor, the master and servant divided two tables and simply ordered pasta and authentic side dishes. The strong hand-rolled dough, marinated pork sauce, and a secret rich sauce, and a large spoonful of chili peppers at the end make it a special taste.

But the reminded on the side that Mu Qingwan was not allowed to eat more, and the taste was too heavy and hindered her appearance, so Mu Qingwan had many taboos in terms of diet. Thinking that he was only ten years old, eating too many chili peppers was not easy to restrain himself, and his face was full of collagen, his skin was delicate and smooth, and he had not been destroyed, Mu Qingwan in this life cherished his health very much, so he only ordered a chicken noodle soup without chili peppers, and silently put down his chopsticks after eating eight points full.

Mu Qingwan looked at the shop outside the door, and found that there were many blacksmith shops in Xianyang, thinking that his younger brother Mu Yan was officially learning martial arts, and there were no suitable weapons, so she thought that she would go to the time-honored blacksmith shop with her brother to see if she could buy suitable weapons and bring them back to Mu Yan.

"Shuang'er, you misunderstood me, I have nothing to do with my cousin, you have to believe me." Suddenly there was an exclamation from downstairs.

"Bang bang." With a rush of footsteps, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in Tsing Yi ran downstairs angrily, followed by a girl in pink and white clothes who was a little older and eager to stop her.

"Frost, slow down, it's not what you see." The pink and white girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a pink and white gauze dress, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she moved her steps behind delicately, trying to hold the girl in Tsing Yi.

"Don't stop me, it turns out that you really lied to me. Sister said that you don't marry until now, just because you want to marry Brother Yuan, right? Why are you still lying to me now! Hmph, I'll go find my sister. The girl in Tsing Yi had a round face, not very beautiful, she could only be called cute, and at this time she angrily shook off the hand of the girl in pink and was about to leave.

"I ......" The girl in pink was stunned suddenly, her little face turned white all of a sudden, as if she suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly defended, "No, no, no." I'm not, Frost, calm down and listen to me, it's really not what you see. Shuang'er, think about it, my cousin invited you to enjoy the flowers yesterday, right? My cousin likes you, you really misunderstood us. ”

"Enjoy the flowers, Brother Yuan......" The girl in Tsing Yi stopped and muttered to herself, "You really didn't lie to me?" Is that true? ”

"Yes, yes, you have to believe me, when did I lie to you?"

"But, but Sister Ah said......"

"Sister Ning'er is prejudiced against her cousin, doesn't Shuang'er know her cousin's intentions?" Seeing that the girl in Tsing Yi was shaken, the girl in pink persuaded again.

"Then, then I'll ask Brother Yuan, if you lie to me, hum."

"I really didn't lie to you, you should always trust your cousin."

The two girls reconciled and walked out the door together.

When the girl in pink walked to Mu Qingwan's table, she suddenly looked up and looked over here, turned around, and put her eyes on Mu Chen, with doubts and scrutiny in her eyes, such a look made Mu Qingwan very uncomfortable.

"Sister Akane, what's wrong?" The girl in Tsing Yi turned around and asked questioningly.

"No, nothing. We've just broken our feet, let's go. ”

"Brother." Mu Qingwan looked at Mu Chen and gestured with her eyes.

Mu Chen looked in the direction where the two girls were walking away, and thought about it in his heart.

"It's okay, sister, don't worry. However, it is somewhat familiar. ”

Mu Chen stayed in Pingcheng after he was five years old, if he was familiar, it should be in the capital before he was five years old. But Mu Chen didn't pay much attention to women, not to mention that ten years ago, the other party was only a seven or eight-year-old girl, and he was only five years old. It's just that if you are not familiar with the place in Xianyang, it is better to pay attention to everything. Mu Chen's eyes signaled to Hu Zhao, and he saw Hu Zhao bowing his head and quietly followed the two girls.

Mu Qingwan and the others had no intention of staying any longer, so they checked out and left.

"Brother, I want to go to the blacksmith shop to have a look, maybe I can find a suitable weapon for Ah Yan." Mu Qingwan looked at Mu Chen.

Among the brothers and sisters, only Mu Yan has the highest talent in martial arts, and at the age of seven, his skills are already very sharp. Mu Chen thought it could. I was about to inquire about which shop was better, when Xu Niangzi suddenly spoke, "Go to Li Ji Blacksmith Shop, where the things are the most complete and the reputation is guaranteed." ”

"Huh?" Mu Qingwan's eyes turned to Mrs. Xu, "Aunt Xu is really powerful, I know this." ”

"Huh? What's more, it's just that Xianyang is my maiden home, and I'm more familiar with it here. The looked like they were stuck in memory.

"Hmm??? , Aunt Xu? Then your maiden home is also in Xianyang? ”

"yes, yes."

"Then why don't you go back?"

"This time the time is too short, I won't go back, and I still have to leave when I go back."

In Mu Qingwan's memory, Xu Niangzi has always been in Pingcheng to help Mrs. Mu take care of business, only know that Xu Niangzi's mother's family used to do a dart business, but never heard her mention it, I thought that there was no one in my hometown, but I didn't know that her mother's family was in Xianyang, and her family was still alive.

Mu Qingwan and Mu Chen looked at each other, and the two understood.
