Liu Che was a person who liked to be lively and bustling. When he was in Chang'an, he often went out for a stroll. At that time, the emperor was not so restricted in his freedom. He could go out whenever he wanted, as long as he brought guards with him.

He usually went out quite frequently, and would leave the palace to play in other places from time to time. However, after arriving in the Northern Territory, he had been traveling back and forth between the Changshou Palace and the Northern Territory Palace for so many days. He found it incredible when he thought about it.

If you really want to be picky, you can only say that the schedule his son arranged for him was too full, with new things to do almost every day, which made him feel overwhelmed.

However, at this moment Liu Tan really missed the hustle and bustle of the outside world, so he took advantage of Liu Tan's banquet and took his people for a walk after the meal. By the way, he also got a tour guide - Wei Deng.

Wei Deng has decided to bring the elite regiment back to Chang'an. Along the way, he and the elite regiment will protect Liu Che together with the Yulin Army.

Liu Tan simply transferred him to Liu Che's side in the name of letting him get familiar with the situation, and made him responsible for Liu Che's safety.

It was Wei Deng's first time to take on such an important responsibility, and he was very conscientious in his work. Liu Che was quite fond of him because of his meticulous work, so he took him with him when he went out.

After leaving the palace, Wei Deng asked, "Your Majesty...where would you like to go first?"

Liu Che, sitting in an inconspicuous carriage, said, "Let's go to the market first."

So Wei Deng took Liu Che to the East Market, but he regretted it when he arrived at the gate of the East Market - it was too deserted here.

The East Market originally focused on luxury goods, selling expensive items. However, there are no more than 20 households in Shuofang City that have the purchasing power to spend this much, which is completely different from the purchasing power of Chang'an. Therefore, there are not many merchants here, and even fewer people.

After Liu Che got off the car, he was also slightly stunned: The market in the capital of the Northern Kingdom is so depressed?

Wei Deng said tremblingly, "Master... this place... this place is not as lively as the West Market. Why don't we go to the West Market?"

Liu Che said, "Since you are here, let's take a look."

He walked inside and found that the things sold by the merchants in the East Market were not very good and were very unpopular. Although the bosses had tried their best to attract customers because of Liu Che's extraordinary clothes and good temperament, Liu Che still felt that these shops were too shabby.

The only place that wasn't too shabby was the shop where Liu Tan sold broken evil gold.

Although the shop was not shabby, it was deserted. There were only two or three pieces of broken evil gold on display, and the way they were displayed was more like an exhibition than a sale.

After this trip, Liu Che found that there were no rare things in the entire East Market. At the same time, he also figured out the pattern and knew that the things sold here were probably rare and exotic.

But he didn't see any rare or exotic things.

For a moment, Liu Che even wondered what kind of life his son was living in the northern border country.

Think about the furnishings in the Northern Border Palace. Not only are there few, but there are also many things that Liu Tan brought from Chang'an, and some are specially given to Liu Tan by him.

Liu Che immediately understood that the Northern Border Country was so poor that even if his son wanted to enjoy himself, there would be nothing to enjoy.

After walking around for a while, he got in the car and said, "Let's go to Xishi."

Wei Deng was filled with misery, fearing that he would mess up his mission the first time he went out with the emperor.

Especially if his prince knew that he had taken the emperor for a walk and successfully lowered the emperor's impression of Shuofang City to the lowest point, he might throw him to feed the iron beast!

The more Wei Deng thought about it, the more frightened he became. Only after he arrived at the West Market and saw the bustling scene did he feel slightly relieved.

After getting off the car, Liu Che did not enter the West Market immediately, but stood there and took a look.

Chang'an also had two markets, East and West, and when Liu Che was young, he went to the West Market out of curiosity.

Although the West Market is more lively, it is not a place that nobles are willing to go to, because most of the people here are commoners, and the things sold are also varied. The smell is not very good. Some places that sell live poultry even slaughter them. Liu Che saw it once and almost vomited because of disgust.

However, probably because Shuofang City was newly built, it did not have as many people as Chang'an West Market, but it was much cleaner and tidier than Chang'an West Market.

Wei Deng stood beside Liu Che and said, "Lord, the West Market is quite well divided. There's a street for small things, a street for food, and a street for general merchandise. Which one do you want to go to?"

When Liu Che heard this, he laughed and said, "Isn't this another name that Tan'er came up with?"

Wei Deng complimented him, "My Lord is wise. I knew it the moment I heard it."

Liu Che sneered: "Only he can always come up with such weird names. Let's go and take a look at that little gadget street first."

Although people laughed at Liu Tan's strange name, they had to admit that the West Market in Shuofang City was better planned. Stores selling the same things were concentrated together, and most people could go straight to where they wanted to go after becoming familiar with the location.

The so-called gadgets are basically children’s toys, adults’ toys and the like.

Liu Che heard the shouting from inside when he was still far away, and he could feel the smell of fireworks before he even stepped in.

Wei Deng was relieved when he saw that Liu Che's expression looked much better than before in the East Market.

There were a lot of people here, and Wei Deng followed Liu Che closely for fear that others would bump into him.

But no matter how carefully he protected him, it was impossible for him to be impenetrable, and there would always be people who accidentally bumped into Liu Che.

Liu Che didn't mind, but looked around with interest.

He originally thought that the West Market was not much better than the East Market, but now it seems that the West Market is not bad. Not only that, there are many things in it that even Liu Che finds new, such as those selling wolf bones and wolf fangs, and even some other things that are completely different from the Han style.

There are also some accessories with a Western style. They are certainly not exquisite, but they are somewhat novel, fully showing the special geographical location of Shuofang City to Liu Che.

Liu Che walked and stopped here and there, without buying anything. When he was near the end of the street, he suddenly smelled a special fragrance, a mixture of glutinous rice and barbecued meat.

Wei Deng said at the right moment: "Your Majesty, go forward and turn left and you will see the food street. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Liu Che was intrigued by the aroma and said, "Let's go and take a look."

The food street is more lively than the gadget street. The closer you get to it, the more you can smell the mixed aroma of food.

After Liu Che entered, he heard someone shouting, "Ciba, barbecued meat, and mutton soup, one mouthful will warm your belly!"

Liu Che looked over in the direction of the sound and discovered that it was a Hun who was grilling meat. Next to him was a stove. In the big pot on the stove, white mutton soup was boiling and bubbling, emitting the unique smell of mutton, which was both pungent and fragrant. Behind the Hun was a food table and a straw mat.

Liu Che looked at the crowded open-air dining tables and suddenly became curious. He said to Wei Deng, "Let's go and try it too."

Wei Deng was almost scared out of his wits: "Your Majesty... My Lord, My Lord, you absolutely cannot do this!"

The things outside are of unknown origin. If the emperor gets sick from eating them, no amount of his life will be enough to compensate for it!

However, once Liu Che made up his mind, it was useless for Wei Deng or even Liu Tan to throw a tantrum.

So less than a cup of tea after Wei Deng finished speaking, he and Liu Che were already sitting in front of the food table waiting for the restaurant to serve the food, and he was thinking dejectedly that if his prince knew about it, would he beat him up directly or let the iron-eating beast beat him up.
