The rest of the trip became uneventful. There were no accidents during the ten days of the journey, and the merchant ship was hung with the flag of the Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce, so it was a switch along the way, and the card was passed. Captain Tom is not an ignorant person, and there are a lot of routines that should be given, and he has a hot fight with people from all walks of life. Let Tang Dou look at old Tom and always feel that this should not be the captain, should be the green forest scoop handle.

Ten days to travel nearly 2,000 miles, this speed is actually not fast, when I first came to the Jiuxiao Continent, the three days to run more than 5,000 miles of the Bibo is called a gallop, but the two are not comparable. Moreover, a merchant ship is a merchant ship, and it needs to purchase goods and purchase various matters along the way, so it can't be fast if you want to.

But it's finally here.

The Zijin Imperial Capital, a famous city among the three major countries, is not only the imperial capital of the Zijin Kingdom, but also the most famous commercial city in the Jiuxiao Continent, the largest in the Zijin Country, and also the largest artificial canal in the Jiuxiao Continent, the Zijin River passes through the city, dividing the entire city into two, which not only facilitates the transportation, but also embellishes the city as beautiful as a gentle water town.

There are still dozens of miles away, and you can see the city wall of the Zijin Imperial Capital when you stand on the bow of the ship, which can be described as majestic and magnificent. Edward's injuries along the way were almost healed, and he followed Tang Dou and his party to stand on the bow of the boat and introduce them to the customs of the Zijin Imperial Capital.

"Entering the imperial capital from the Zijin River, this gate is called the Shuisheng Gate, go inside the inner city gate eleven, the outer city gate eighteen, one hundred and fifty miles around the city wall, this is the first scenic spot of Zijin. After the Shuisheng Gate, it is the Yunfang Water Market, which can be said to be the first point of the Zijin Emperor's capital, the food, livestock and vegetables eaten by the people in the city have passed from here, when it was established, it was to come in every day with hundreds of cows, thousands of pigs and thousands of loads of grain, and now the Zijin Emperor has spread ten times, how much is the daily inflow and outflow, I'm afraid it is impossible to remember! ”

Edward is a native of the Zijin Imperial Capital, and when it comes to the prosperity of his hometown, his face that has been depressed all the way has shown some joy.

Merchant ships are not allowed to cross the Yunfang Water Market, and when they stop at the Yunfang Water Market, Old Tom naturally went to Zhang Luo to unload all the things, while Edward and Donald took Tang Dou and his party to change the painting boat and continue to move along the waterway - the Zijin River not only divided the Zijin Imperial Capital into two, but also divided one hundred and eight large and small waterways, forming a complete waterway system in the Zijin Imperial Capital. Basically, except for some special places, any other place can be reached by boat.

Everyone took the painting boat all the way forward, only to see that the two sides of the river are really densely populated, everywhere the gold powder buildings, the painting boats on the Zijin River shuttle back and forth, the blue tiles and powder walls of the river houses nearby, the red walls and yellow tiles of the high-rise buildings in the distance, it is magnificent. The pedestrians on the street were neatly dressed and calm, and even the old man who was engaged in small business and the coolie seller were smiling and did not look sad.

Along the way, there are more leisure gathering places, or selling tea, or singing songs, or telling stories. There are flags and lanterns hanging in front of the door, and new flowers are inserted, and there are ordinary people sitting in twos and threes, and everyone is smiling.

Look at some of the whitewashed houses on both sides of the Purple River, all of them are hung with beaded curtains and tulle, and the shadows in the window are indistinct, but you can see a few graceful figures embroidering flowers, playing music, playing and playing in the room, and the laughter like silver bells comes from afar, and occasionally a few bold ones will quietly poke their heads out and smile lightly at the sons and brothers who come and go on the painting boat. Then the person who painted the boat used that "men understand" expression, whistling, raising eyebrows, and laughing and singing.

What a prosperous picture!

The Purple Gold Country is worthy of being the richest and most prosperous country among the three major countries. In terms of financial resources, it is definitely the first of the three kingdoms and the leader of the nine whistles.

"What a place, what a place!" Tang Dou touched his chin with an uncertain smile on his face.

It just so happened that a bold girl poked her head out of the river house on the bank and smiled at Tang Dou, a handsome boy, which caused Sha Yunyue to feel unhappy for a while: "You men are really straightforward!" ”

"Master, master, this, this, no, it's not good!" In the past two days, the soft girl has controlled her body, and she is also a little jealous, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was so nervous that she was nervous to death, as if she felt that she was jealous and did something that she shouldn't do, so she was sweating profusely when she said a few words.

Tang Dou rolled his eyes and kissed the little Lori in his arms: "If you don't think right, how can a five-good young man like me linger in this kind of Fengyue place." Don't give a man a woman's heart, you know? It's very decent to be a teacher! ”

Sha Yunyue looked at this shameless guy with disdain, while preaching with a straight face, while the thief Xixi looked at the girls who poked their heads out of the river house with his eyes, gave Tang Dou a roll of the eyes, and pulled the soft girl to the side to speak.

Only little Lori thinks that Tang Dou is right in everything, and when she saw Tang Dou sending autumn spinach to those girls, she also followed suit. This scared Tang Dou, for fear that he would teach his family to love and bloom Lori, so he honestly didn't squint.

Halfway through, the painting boat met a boat selling snacks and fruits on the river, Tang Dou took all the fruits in one go, and thoroughly realized what it means to be "rich, capricious!" ”

After sending the little Lori to nibble on the fruit, Tang Dou can finally look at the scenery unscrupulously and aim at the beauties. Ah Bao, who was sitting next to him, was gnawing on bamboo, and at the same time judging the girls in the river house with Tang Dou.

In order to disguise his identity, this fat panda used Sha Yunyue's medicine to dye his coat color to earthy yellow, and it looked like an ordinary demon bear and demon beast, with nothing outstanding at all. However, as the saying goes, if there is a master, there must be a favor. Bao's appearance as a pariah and Tang Dou are simply printed in the same mold.

In fact, Edward and Donald have seen Po as he was, but they don't know much about Po's current disguise.

Merchant ships entered from the southwest of Purple City, along the waterways that extended in all directions, and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce in the northeastern city.

From the outside, the Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce is definitely a low-key mess, the façade is not wide, and it is not as big as the branch in Anduma. It uses the traditional layout of the front medicine shop, the middle consultation room, and the back room. The painting boat stopped at a small pier two hundred meters away from the headquarters of the Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce, and after everyone got off the boat, they walked for less than two minutes and came to the back door of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce.

The front door is mostly reserved for guests with status, as well as those for patients, while the back door is used by the chamber of commerce's own people or some relatives and friends.

"Edward, Donald, you two old ghosts are still alive!" Before I could enter the door, I heard an excited voice coming from the door.

When I looked up, I saw a thin old man with gray hair and gray eyes, his hair combed neatly, and he trotted out all the way.

"Jonathan, you old ghost is not dead, how can we die?" Edward grinned.

The old man named Jonathan rushed out of the backyard door, hugged Edward and Donald tightly, and said in a choked voice: "I was so frightened when Hyperion came back, I thought I would have to go to your grave if I wanted to see you again!" ”

"Phew! Can't you say something auspicious? Edward also had tears in his eyes, wiping tears and scolding.

"Yes, yes, it's good to say auspicious words!" Hyperion came out with a smile on his old face: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back!" ”

Then he saw Tang Dou and the others, and hurriedly dressed up: "Little Brother Di, Sand Girl, Silver Girl, save your life, please accept the little old man!" ”

Tang Dou and a few people immediately stepped forward to hold up this old man, not to mention anything else, the noble medical ethics of being over ninety years old and practicing medicine in the world are enough for Tang Dou to admire, how can they let this old man salute?

"Old Mr. Highberry, you are so polite. In that case, anyone would do the same thing, and I just happened to do it! Tang Dou helped Hyperion and didn't let the old man kneel down and salute.

Of course, Tang Dou's strength is not comparable to an old man like Hyperion who is not a soul cultivator, and after trying it, he found that it was useless, and the old man was no longer hypocritical, and stood up straight: "Anyway, Brother Di Daen Hyperion and his colleagues will never dare to forget." Brother Di has high ability and strong strength, and we can't help with idle things, but if you need an old man like me, please feel free to say it! ”

Tang Dou knew that being too polite with such an old man would hurt people's hearts, so he smiled: "Don't say it, I really have something to discuss with you, Old Tang said that you are not only a doctor with superb medical skills, but also a pill pharmacist, there are some things about pills, I want to ask for one or two!" ”

When he was young, he was a pharmacist, and he only became a healer until he reached middle age. This is quite rare in the Thousand Souls Continent, generally speaking, it is the doctor who turns into a pill pharmacist, because the latter is too profitable, and the former is just the opposite, such as the big chamber of commerce that attaches importance to doctors like the Shangxiang Chamber of Commerce, it is good to say, if those doctors in small medical halls live well, it is called a poverty. The reason why Philip's father and son, who were in Elder at the beginning, used the identity of Li Shizhen to deceive, in addition to being too greedy, also had the factor that they lived too poor before.

"Pills? There's no problem with this, I still have some notes left when I was young, so I'll give them to Brother Di. However, I don't know if Brother Di wants to see it, or Miss Sha wants to watch it? "Hyperion is an old man with a straight intestine, and he is worried that it would be too wasteful for a medical skill like Sha Yunyue to give up practicing medicine in the world and change to a pill pharmacist. So I asked directly.

How could Tang Dou not know the thoughts of this old man, and laughed: "Don't worry, I want to see it, and I'm just out of curiosity." ”

Highberry was relieved, and then remembered that everyone had been talking at the door, and hurriedly invited everyone in. (To be continued.) )
