The prosperity of Tonghua City exceeded any city Xie Ling had seen in Beijiang.
Xie Ling thought the dock was busy enough, but she didn't expect that there would be a completely different world after passing through the city gate.
The place was bustling with people coming and going, and people wearing costumes of various countries were everywhere.
Restaurants and teahouses of all sizes can be found everywhere, and the streets are lined with all kinds of stalls.
There were jugglers, people selling snacks, jewelry, weapons...everything you could think of.
Xie Ling is now in the main urban area, almost walking on other people's shoulders, with people everywhere.
Standing on tiptoe and looking around, the sky is clear and the streets are prosperous. It is truly a place of wealth and splendor that is dazzling.
Xie Ling finally squeezed out of the main urban area, but found a problem.
Tonghua City is so huge. There are more than 20 streets in the main urban area alone, and every street is crowded with people. Which way should she go?
As she was hungry, Xie Ling went into a noodle shop, ordered a bowl of plain noodles, and started chatting with the owner.
"Boss, where is the West City Pier?"
The shopkeeper asked as he handed the food to Xie Ling:
"The west side of the city is the passenger terminal, right? Where are you going, young man?"
Xie Ling was in a good mood as she looked at the refreshing Yangchun noodles and said with a smile:
"Wei Zhao."
The shopkeeper's eyes widened. "Wei Zhao? Young man, you look so young, are you a doctor?"
Xie Ling's eyes flickered, "Where did the shopkeeper get this from?"
"You don't know. The little princess of Wei Zhaoguo has gone insane. In order to cure the little princess, the emperor of Wei Zhaoguo has issued an imperial decree to recruit famous doctors from all over the country to treat her. Do you know how much the consultation fee is?"
The shopkeeper blinked.
Speaking of money, Xie Ling became interested, "How much?"
The shopkeeper gestured with a look of amazement in his eyes, "Ten thousand taels of gold!"
Xie Ling was also shocked by the number. She was eating noodles and almost bit her tongue as she calculated rapidly in her mind.
Shit, this is the annual expense for the military and civilians of Sinan!
Wei Zhaoke is really rich, she is the one who has revealed the list!
Anyway, she had to go to Wei Zhaoguo for treatment. After she cured Lu Linglong's uncle, she would go and take down the list to treat the little princess.
This is ten thousand taels of gold!
Xie Ling suddenly felt that the noodles in the bowl were no longer fragrant. She was extremely anxious. She had to hurry to Wei Zhao and not let others get there first.
The shopkeeper looked at the young man with his own eyes. When he heard about the huge sum of gold, his eyes lit up like two lanterns.
He shook his head and advised earnestly: "Young man, don't think too much. This little princess has been crazy for more than half a year, and no one can cure her.
All the famous doctors in Wei Zhao couldn't cure him, and even the living immortals of Mingyue Island were helpless. King Wei Zhao had no choice but to issue a notice to the world, otherwise who would be willing to speak out about such a thing?
I advise you to return home as soon as possible to avoid wasting your travel expenses. Nowadays, there are many doctors going to Wei Zhao, and the boat ticket price has risen to thirty taels, but it is still difficult to get a ticket. "
What Xie Ling wants is a difficult-to-treat disease. The more difficult it is to cure, the greater her chance of winning.
It’s just that it’s hard to get a ticket, which is a bit difficult.
"Boss, where can I buy this boat ticket?"
Seeing that she was still persistent, the shopkeeper sighed and said, "If you really want to go, go to Qingfeng Lane in the north of the city to find Ma Lao Piao. He probably has tickets."
At the end, he whispered that young people nowadays really don't know their place.
Xie Ling hurriedly finished her noodles, put down the money, said thank you, and quickly went to the north of the city.
Tonghua City is really big. Xie Ling just found out that there is a carriage business in the city.
Those light little carriages and ponies she saw when she entered the city were chariots.
We take the customer to wherever he wants to go, just like a modern taxi.
In order to save time, Xie Ling also rented a carriage. It was not expensive and only five cents took her to her destination, which was very convenient.
As night falls, I sit in the carriage and lift the curtain to look out. I see houses lined up on the roadside, cars and horses flowing like water, lights shining brightly, and the flow of people is no less than during the day, or even more dense.
Xie Ling saw the prosperity of Tonghua City more clearly.
It is winter now. You should know that the people in Lingnan are reluctant to go out. The streets are deserted and almost no one comes to visit.
And in another place thousands of miles away, there is such a prosperous scene.
Xie Ling deeply realized that there are always people better than you.
The driver was very enthusiastic and kept chatting with Xie Ling along the way, introducing the customs and habits of Tonghua City. His words were very interesting.
Xie Ling glanced at the bustling street and asked casually, "Why are there so few girls on this street?"
Unexpectedly, the driver's face changed, and he suddenly fell silent, laughing dryly, "Maybe it's too cold, the girls don't want to go out."
Xie Ling noticed the change in the driver's expression, but was too lazy to pursue it as she was in a hurry.
Anyway, Tong Huacheng has nothing to do with her no matter what.
Qingfeng Lane is not far from the city center.
After a while, the driver pulled the reins and said, "Oh, sir, we have arrived at Qingfeng Lane. Please get off the carriage."
Xie Ling opened the car curtain and jumped out of the car with a light and graceful posture.
The driver stared at Xie Ling's figure and suddenly showed an expression of wanting to say something but stopping himself. "Sir, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not. Forget it... Anyway, you should be careful."
After the driver finished speaking, he drove away, leaving Xie Ling with a confused look on her face.
strangeness.
Regardless of anything else, her current goal was to buy a boat ticket.
There were quite a few people in Qingfeng Lane. Everywhere you looked, it was filled with people, filling the already narrow bluestone road.
Most of them carried medicine boxes, wore cloth clothes, and had square scarves on their heads. They smelled like medicine and were dressed like standard doctors.
