Exiled, the Medical Concubine emptied the warehouse and escaped from the famine

Chapter 303 Tonghua City

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.

Seeing that everyone was crowding into a shabby courtyard, Xie Ling guessed that this was Mr. Ma's house.

I peeked through the fence and saw no one was there.

A few wooden benches were placed casually under the grape trellis, and a few washed cloth clothes were hung on the bamboo pole at the gate of the courtyard.

Xie Ling followed behind this group of doctors and waited.

Hearing the people in front communicating, Xie Ling also pricked up her ears, hoping to get more information.

"I heard that the princess was not only crazy, but also beat people up. I don't know how many doctors she beat away. Many people's faces were scratched."

"It is said that even the living gods of Mingyue Island have been to see it but failed to cure it. Well, we are just going to try our luck."

"Hehe, I wonder if this princess is beautiful or not. If she is, it would be worthwhile to go and see the golden branches and jade leaves. Otherwise, where can I see the princess normally?"

"I think it's probably a mental illness. Maybe she likes a man but can't get him, so she went crazy.

All the handsome men, get in touch with the princess more often, maybe you can not only get a fortune, but also become her husband!"

.......

The conversation between the group of people became more and more outrageous. Xie Ling rolled her eyes and turned her head away, not wanting to listen anymore.

But they were close to her, and their voices still penetrated her ears.

These people have already talked about everything from the prince consort to matters of the bed, using obscene and vulgar language.

Xie Ling couldn't help it, so she walked over and kicked the big tree next to her.

The broken ice from the winter fell down in an instant, knocking the group of people to pieces and forcing them to flee in all directions.

Soon, someone discovered that it was Xie Ling who was behind this.

A tall man stared at Xie Ling viciously and punched her.

Xie Ling dodged with a sneer and kicked the man in the waist, "Doctors should be kind-hearted. Are you qualified to be a doctor if you say such obscene things to a little girl?"

The man was kicked but still remained stubborn, "What do you care? It's none of your business. It's just a dog catching a rat." But he quietly walked to the other side.

Seeing that Xie Ling was not someone to be trifled with, the others did not dare to say anything more and finally remained silent.

Xie Ling got some peace and quiet and closed her eyes to rest.

After a while, a drunken middle-aged man staggered to the gate of the courtyard and burped, "Buy tickets? Why are there so many people today? They're sold out! Come tomorrow!"

"How can this be? We have been waiting for so many days, and every day they said they would come tomorrow."

"It's so cold, just sell a few."

Ma Lao Piao waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, no more."

After he finished speaking, he fell headfirst at the gate of the yard and fell into a deep sleep.

The doctors dispersed with sighs.

Xie Ling didn't want to give up. So many people were crowding here with Ma Lao Piao, which meant that it was more difficult to buy tickets at the pier and there were more people.

She suddenly missed her wind-related ability, but as she settled down and no longer worried about her life, that ability disappeared!

It reminded her of the end of the world, when it was peaceful and stable, and most people's superpowers disappeared inexplicably. Maybe this was a gift from God.

When most people had left, Xie Ling took out a silver needle and gave Ma Laopiao a few injections. Soon, Ma Laopiao opened his eyes.

He looked at the sky and frowned.

"Hey... why did I wake up so early today? Or did I sleep until the evening?"

Xie Ling snapped her fingers. "Mr. Ma, I woke you up. Do you still have a boat ticket?"

Ma Lao Piao's face fell instantly, "I already said it's gone, it's gone. You doctors are so annoying for disturbing my sleep."

Xie Ling's eyes were indifferent. "Mr. Ma, don't you feel that your body is a little different?"

Ma Lao Piao opened his mouth and cursed:

"What's different?"

But after he finished speaking, his eyes widened, he stood up and jumped twice, "Hey, my feet don't hurt anymore? I have more energy now?"

Xie Ling crossed her arms across her chest, "I can cure your pain, sell me the ticket."

Ma Laopiao's eyes were filled with surprise, "I, Ma Laopiao, have never felt so comfortable all over, you really have some skills, young man.

You don't have the boat ticket, but I can disguise you as a delivery boy on the boat, are you willing?"

"Row."

Ma Lao Piao nodded, "Okay, just find a place to sleep tonight, and I'll take you there tomorrow."

Just as he finished speaking, the neighbor next door came over with a lantern, and the dim light cast Xie Ling's figure on the wall.

Ma Lao Piao took a quick glance and his eyes widened. "Young man, do you have a place to live? If not, I'll take you to one. It's owned by a friend of mine. I'm here to drum up business for him."

The night is too dark.

Xie Ling did not notice the change in expression on Ma Laopiao's face, and was thinking about finding a place to stay tonight.

He replied, "Okay."

Ma Laopiao walked in front, crossed several streets and alleys, and brought Xie Ling to an inn.

It's quite late now, but the streets near the inn are still busy.

Snack stalls selling wonton noodles and other food were steaming hot, with a few people sitting at the tables.

Xie Ling looked around and found that the location was not wrong.

He glanced at the inn lobby again, where there were three or four tables of people sitting.

There are families of three with their kids, young couples, and caravans traveling around the country.

They were either playing mahjong or drinking, and they looked serious.

"Meet here tomorrow morning."

After Xie Ling finished speaking, she walked in and asked the waiter to arrange a room for her.

Ma Laopiao stared at Xie Ling's back for a long time and smiled.

I slept well that night.

It was unknown how long it took before Xie Ling opened her eyes.

Seeing the fluttering gauze and jingling jewelry in front of the bed, Xie Ling was stunned at first, and then her whole body felt like she was falling into an icy cave. She immediately turned over and sat up, looking around.

This is a place similar to a prison, but it is extremely beautifully decorated with yellow pear and wood step-out beds, gauze curtains, and sandalwood chairs.

There is actually someone in this world who can make her faint!

Bringing her to this place without anyone noticing!

Xie Ling was shocked at first, and then a dense and numb feeling of fear rose from the soles of her feet and spread throughout her body.

If the other party wanted to kill her, she would probably be a corpse already!

who is it?

Have such ability!

It’s definitely not Ma Laopiao. Xie Ling is very good at judging people. Ma Laopiao is just an ordinary ticket seller.

There must be something valuable on him that was discovered by Ma Lao Piao and reported to the person who kidnapped him.

Xie Ling frowned.

She is just an ordinary man now, with no good looks and no money. Why else?

Xie Ling clenched her palms and suddenly smelled a very faint fragrance on her body.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, trying her best to catch the faintest fragrance and identify the medicinal herbs in it.

Three flavors.

It's all five kinds of scattered ore.

It's just Cang Shen flower.

There is also another one which is a common knockout drug.

I didn't expect that Wu Shi San and Cang Shen Hua could achieve such an effect.

Thinking of the Cang Shen Flower, a red shadow suddenly appeared in Xie Ling's mind—Jiang Xue.

A few months ago, he left a letter and disappeared.

Remembering what he said before, that the Wu Shi San was the property of Yao Shen Valley, and that Cang Shen Hua was involved with Yao Shen Valley, Xie Ling had some vague guesses about the force that kidnapped her.

It seems that the four sects and one valley are not just a rumor.

They are really powerful. The Medicine God Valley alone can run such a large and prosperous city, not to mention the other four major sects.

Gu Wei is still the young master of Tingxue Tower. I have to ask him carefully next time.

I was exiled as soon as I came here, and then I stayed in Lingnan. Now it seems that I know too little about this world.

She has only just touched the surface of this vast continent. There are always things she doesn't understand, and there are always people who are more capable than her.

She can't just sit there and watch the world from a well in Lingnan, she has to become more powerful and stronger.

I don’t know when Jiang Yunzi will end his wanderings and come to find me to teach me the medical skills of this era, otherwise it would be too easy for me to fall flat on my face.

Returning to the drug in front of him, Xie Ling closed her eyes and first used her inner strength to force out the remaining drug in her body, and then began to try to prepare an antidote.

There are only two antidotes to all poisons in this world.

A remedy that treats the symptoms and dilutes the toxins.

A method of fighting poison with poison, rendering the toxin ineffective.

Wu Shi San and Cang Shen Hua are both extremely precious medicinal materials. If you want to make them ineffective, there is only one way, which is to disrupt the ratio.

Xie Ling took out a Cang Shen Flower and a piece of Wu Shi San ore from the space, mixed the two evenly, lit a fire, and smoke slowly rose.

After a while, other sounds were heard in the prison.

People in the prison near Xie Ling were waking up one after another.

It looks like the antidote was mixed correctly.

Xie Ling felt relieved. She touched the Emei spikes in her hair, took out a small pistol from the space and put it in her sleeve, quietly waiting for "that person" to arrive.

No matter who it is, there must be a purpose for kidnapping her.

If you have a purpose, then you will definitely come to see her.

"Hey."

Xie Ling turned her head and saw a piece of broken stone thrown at her from the prison next to her.

Looking up, Xie Ling saw a somewhat familiar face through the iron fence.

Where had she seen this man?
