Yang Song left Zhongjing in the early spring of the eighteenth year of Qiyuan and began his journey to the Great Xia.

At this time, it had been five years since Yang Xian ascended the throne. His position had already been stabilized and everything in the court was on track, so there was no problem for Yang Song to leave the capital at this time.

Although Yang Song said he wanted to visit Xia Kingdom alone, apart from the two women, the coachman and bodyguard was a young man from Jinyiwei named Wang Cheng.

Wang Wei, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, also became an official, but he was older and obviously could not serve as Yang Song's bodyguard, so his son Wang Cheng could only be sent to replace him.

There was also a servant who was responsible for introducing Yang Song and the others to the scenery along the way. His name was Yang Xin, and he was the son of Yang Yi, Sizheng of the National Security Department who was originally in charge of domestic intelligence.

Finally, there are two maids who serve the two girls. After all, they are away from home and they are so old, so there are many inconveniences that need to be dealt with by someone.

When everything was ready, Yang Song and his party of seven people and two carriages left Zhongjing City and headed south - of course their first stop was Apocalypse City in the Pass - which was also their birthplace.

All the way south along the pipeline, Yang Xin introduced various scenery along the way, as if he knew all these places well.

Because of the influence of his father and reading "Strange Stories of the Great Xia" written by Xu Xiake, Yang Xin has been very curious about various places in the Xia Kingdom since he was a child.

After becoming an adult, Yang Xin did not choose to be an examiner. Instead, after finishing college, he chose to pack up his bags and travel to Daxia, starting his own travel diary of Daxia.

Later, when Yang Song wanted to visit Daxia, Yang Yi introduced Yang Xin to Yang Song and asked Yang Xin to be a tour guide for the Yang Song family.

Therefore, Yang Xin can be said to talk endlessly about these most familiar scenic spots around Zhongjing City. This is his pride. Now that he can show it in front of the "great man" Yang Song, he feels even more proud.

"Your Majesty, there is only one day's journey ahead to reach Tongbei City, which is the most prosperous city in southern Guanzhong." After walking for another day, Yang Xin introduced to Yang Song the place they were going to pass.

The word "Tai Shang" is what Yang Song is called by others outside the country. It is an abbreviation of "Tai Shang Huang". His identity will not be revealed, but it just sounds like he is an old Taoist priest from some Taoist temple.

"Xiao Xin, and you guys, you have worked hard these days, and you still have to accompany us old guys." Lan Du is an old woman in her early sixties, but she is still so kind, as if her life as a queen in these decades has not been enough.

Nothing has changed about it.

After Yang Xin heard Lan's concern, she was somewhat flattered and replied: "The eldest lady is serious, I only have these abilities, this is my honor." The other three young people also said that they should.

Yang Song was accustomed to these things. He had been in a high position for a long time and had forgotten these details. However, he still nodded to Yang Xin and others in affirmation.

Originally, if Yang Song wanted to visit Daxia, taking the train would be a very fast way, but Yang Song wanted to experience the customs, customs, and folk customs of Daxia.

So if you take the train, you will lose a lot of interesting things on the way. This is a bit of a waste of time. It is better to take a slower horse-drawn carriage.

Anyway, he is not in a hurry now, so he can go wherever he goes, travel around, take a look, and if he feels comfortable, he can stay for a few days.

After another day of slow journey, after seeing the early spring scenery on the roadside in Guanzhong, Yang Song and his party came to the Tongbei City that Yang Xin mentioned before. Yang Song remembered that this place seemed to be a lord's city in the past. As for the name, it was early.

Just forgot.

Yang Song and his party arrived at Tongbei City in the evening. Decades later, this city had long lost all traces of its past, and only the people of the Xia Kingdom were left in the city.

Tongbeicheng also demolished the useless city wall. When entering the city, the group was not inspected or questioned, and entered the city smoothly and normally.

After casually finding a fairly gorgeous hotel to rest for the night, Yang Song took a group of people to explore the streets early the next morning.

Having just finished eating the breakfast that can be seen everywhere on the street and not leaving the store, Yang Xin promptly introduced: "Your Majesty, madam, Tongbeicheng is located on the main transportation road, connecting Zhongjing City to the north and all parts of the pass to the south. It can be said that it is very convenient.

Prosperous, and the city is the most prosperous."

"You are really knowledgeable." After hearing Yang Xin's words, the owner of the breakfast restaurant took over the conversation familiarly and said: "We are in Tongbei City. Although the city is prosperous, there are many talented people near the North City Railway Station.

Woolen cloth."

After the boss finished speaking, he looked at Yang Song and his group. In Wang Cheng's alert eyes, he seemed to see something, wasn't he just a person of some status? He had seen many such people, so he didn't say anything.

What, just continue to introduce.

"I think some of them are not locals. As this guy said, there are many buildings left over from the past in the city, and there are some things to see, but the one near the train station is a bustling place. There are people there from morning to night every day.

It’s never been less…”

Of course, Yang Xin knew that the most prosperous place in every city is near the train station, where the comings and goings of people must be indispensable with the participation of merchants. However, because of this, the large number of people is a hidden danger to the safety of Yang Song and his party.

Otherwise, Yang Xin wouldn't only introduce places that are interesting but not crowded.

But now the breakfast shop owner's words have obviously aroused the interest of the two women. Mrs. Juan said: "Husband, how about we go to the place the boss mentioned and then go to the city?"

Yang Song was also somewhat interested, so he nodded and agreed to the boss's suggestion, and then the group headed towards the train station not far away under the leadership of Yang Xin.

Yang Song and his party originally came from the north. After entering the city last night, they rested in the north of the city. It would not take long to arrive near the train station in Tongbeicheng today, so Yang Song walked a few steps on the street.

Look at the various shops, fruit shops, clothing stores, clothing stores, shoe stores, restaurants and other ordinary shops opening up one after another on the street without interruption.

From time to time you can see gorgeously decorated brocade shops, jewelry shops and other shops that require a certain amount of spending power, and you can see that there are customers patronizing these shops from time to time. This shows that the city's economy is quite prosperous, at least.

There will be no shortage of rich people.

As they were walking, Juan next to them suddenly said: "The breakfast at the restaurant just now was pretty good. I...I'm in the emperor...why didn't I eat it when I was at home?"

Listening to Juan's somewhat unnatural words, Yang Song raised the corners of his mouth with a dumb smile and replied: "It's not that you haven't eaten it before, but the appearance and taste are a little different."

Regarding this point, Lan also looked over with some doubts and curiosity, but Yang Song had no choice but to explain: "You have all eaten the Xiao Long Bao you just ate at home, but they have to be much prettier, so you two

Do you still remember the snack that looked like a little flower that you had in the morning at home a few days ago? That’s it.”

"That's it." Lan Hejuan recalled the breakfast on the morning of departure. There seemed to be a pastry that was one size larger than a thumb and looked like a small chrysanthemum. It turned out to be xiaolongbao.
