Chapter 19: The Mines Behind the Fog Forest

Shen Run was thinking about how to turn the topic around the Chenghuai Hill Mine.

His people have been inquiring in Xiangying for half a month, but they have not inquired about the slightest news about the Chenghuaiqiu mine, and the people of Fengying only know that there is indeed such a mine in their country, but they don't know where this mine is, as if the Chenghuaiqiu mine group is a secret of Fengyingguo.

Whether that mining complex was real or not, Shen Run's heart began to doubt.

He wanted to confirm the authenticity of the mine group, and to find out if the Feng Ying Kingdom had really changed because of that mine group.

If he can't inquire from the outside, it is even more impossible for him to go to King Lian to find clues, so the only thing that can be used now is the rumored divination of the Huaiqiu Mining Group, the Princess Chenguang who is coming out of the Guangming Temple.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he stepped forward with a smile.

It was only a short visit, but the morning light was tired, and as soon as she stepped out of the Guangming Temple, she stopped and began to breathe.

"Tired?" Shen Run asked with a smile.

Chenguang laughed, his big eyes shining with light, and shook his head lightly.

"Sit down and rest." Shen Run suggested with concern.

Chenguang nodded.

Si Qi put a thick animal skin cushion on the stone next to him, and Chenguang sat on it, took the water handed by Huo Wu and drank it.

Shen Run sat opposite her, watching her hold the cup with both hands, take small sips of water, and spit out the tip of her tongue to lick her lips carefully, looking very satisfied, and felt funny.

Chenguang handed the stone cup to Huo Wu, looked up, and saw Shen Run looking at her with a smile, and turned his face away embarrassedly.

Shen Run smiled: "Wait a minute, will you go back to the palace directly?" ”

Chenguang looked at him with puzzled eyes, and he asked like this, probably because he didn't want to go back directly.

Shen Run looked at her with warm eyes, paused, and proposed with a smile:

"It's hard to come out, let's go for a walk around the neighborhood, shall we?"

Chenguang pursed his lips and smiled, looked to the side, and said:

"But in addition to Xiangying, there is Chenghuai Hill in this vicinity."

"Chenghuai Hill?"

"Hmm."

"Is it a Huaiqiu mine?" Shen Run's eyes flashed slightly, and he grabbed the topic and asked.

"Yes." Chenguang nodded, looked at him, thought about it, and said with a smile, "Last time, His Highness also asked about the Chenghuai Hill Mine, does Your Highness want to see it?" ”

Shen Run was stunned for a moment, he was still thinking about how to dig down this topic in his heart, and she actually took the initiative to ask. Isn't it a secret that the Chenghuai Hill Mine Group is in the Feng Ming Kingdom, she said it so briskly, Princess Chenguang, is she defenseless against him, or is she too simple?

"But there's nothing fun going on in the underground mines." Chenguang said.

"The largest mining complex in the Seven Kingdoms, I really want to see it with my own eyes, but, do you know the way?" Shen Run asked quietly, as if he was just asking casually, and he was not enthusiastic.

"That's where I found." Chenguang replied, smiling innocently and a little triumphantly.

Fu Li, who was standing behind Shen Run, was expressionless and excited, they had been exploring the Chenghuaiqiu Mine for half a month, but they didn't expect to come out with Princess Chenguang today without any effort, and he finally understood why His Royal Highness offered to accompany Princess Chenguang on a trip.

Shen Run looked at Chenguang's innocent smiling face and hooked his lips shallowly.

Chenghuai Hill was not far from the Guangming Temple, because Shen Run felt that they had only walked for an hour or two, but he didn't remember the way, because the natural environment didn't allow him to remember. The endless desert, the southeast, the northwest, and the northwest, couldn't tell which was at all, not to mention that Shen Run felt that they were going around in the desert, and the distance they traveled was like going in a circle. Just when Shen Run thought that Chenguang regretted and didn't want to lead the way, the more magical landscape in front of him made the people of Longxi Kingdom stunned and shocked.

Dense fog, a dense fog that is absolutely impenetrable to the eye, a thick thick fog suddenly appeared, at the end of the barren desert directly ahead. The clouds in the sky are connected to the dense fog of the human world, and the thick fog that seems to be invisible to the five fingers is like a thick wall that reaches the heavens and the earth, dividing the world into two parts, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, people will think that such a landscape is a wonder that can only appear in mythological stories.

"Your Royal Highness King Rong, the mine is behind that fog, and it will take about half an hour. There is no danger in the fog forest, but it is easy to get lost, your people must keep up, don't fall behind, if you go wrong, I can't find it. ”

Shen Run hooked his lips in response, he couldn't laugh a little, he thought that it would be very easy to explain the matter of Chenguang, but she brought him into an unknown territory, this kind of situation that had always been dominated by himself and suddenly transferred to the other party's hands made him not very happy.

"Your Highness." Fu Li said in a low voice, he didn't approve of Shen Run going in, worried that he would encounter danger in the fog forest.

Shen Run stopped his persuasion with his eyes, ordered the team to follow, and followed the sedan chariot that was advancing first, and followed the morning light into the fog forest.

It's not that you can't see your fingers in the fog forest, it's just that people can only see what they see in front of them, and a little farther away, there is only a thick fog in sight. It's not dangerous, but it's easy to get lost. Shen Run didn't know how Chenguang knew the direction of progress, could it really rely on divination?

Shen Run frowned.

Half an hour later, the team walked out of the fog forest safely, and what greeted them was still the endless desert and undulating sand mountains. They climbed over a high sand mountain, Shen Run vaguely heard the shouts of the miners, stood on the top of the sand mountain and looked down, he finally saw the legendary Chenghuai Hill Mine.

According to Chenguang, the underground mine extends from the bottom of the sand mountain to the distant place where heaven and earth meet, and in terms of scale, it is indeed a huge mining group. However, because Shen Run was born in Longxi Country, which is the richest in mineral resources, he was just a little surprised, but he didn't feel shocked.

When the miners saw Princess Chenguang arrive, they put down their tools and fell to their knees.

Chenguang smiled and excused himself.

Song Lu, the mining officer, came up to ask for peace, he was in his twenties, because he was afraid of sunburn, his whole body was tightly wrapped, only a pair of eyes were exposed, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, he glanced at Shen Run suspiciously.

"This is His Royal Highness King Rong of Long Xi Kingdom." Chenguang introduced with a smile.

Song Lu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted Shen Run.

"Song Lu is in charge of the affairs of the mine, if His Highness is interested in the affairs of the mine, you can ask him, I don't know." Chenguang said with a smile, with a tiredness in his eyes that could not be concealed, "I'm a little tired, I want to go there to rest for a while, Your Highness can come there to find me after reading it." ”

She said, gesturing to the east side of the mine.

As far as the eye can see on the east side of the mine is a rare above-ground lake, around which a lot of grass grows, and the cool wind blows from the lake, bringing a touch of refreshment.

Shen Run was slightly surprised by her understanding, she didn't understand why he came to see this mine, but she was willing to obey his wishes to bring him here, and let him visit with confidence, did this mean that she had fully accepted this marriage between him and her.
