Mingzhou was a prosperous city in Jiangnan.
Merchants and travelers came and went in the city in an endless stream, including many foreign merchants with eagle noses, blue eyes, and strange appearances.
Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoer, and Jiao Ting
Everyone was extremely curious about this.
Pang Wanchun and his sister originally thought that,
Zhao Yuan was certainly just as surprised as his companions.
After all, it's the northern region.
It's true that you shouldn't see so many strangely-looking foreigners.
It refers to the brother and sister Pang Wanchun and Pang Qiuyan.
The first time I went to Minnesota,
Facing these foreigners,
They were also quite surprised.
However, Zhao Yuan's reaction surprised both of them.
Faced with these strangely-looking foreigners,
Zhao Yuan's face showed no surprise whatsoever.
It was as natural as it should be.
Pang Wanchun and his sister were filled with puzzlement.
They only thought Zhao Yuan was cunning and scheming.
Although I was already incredibly surprised.
But he didn't show it on his face at all.
Zhao Yuan here,
I was indeed somewhat surprised.
But that's all.
He just didn't expect that...
In the south during the Song Dynasty,
It's astonishing how many foreigners come here to do business.
As for the appearance of these foreigners
As a person from later generations, Zhao Yuan,
I've seen all sorts of strange and unusual appearances.
How could anyone be surprised by this!
"Master Zhao, the events involving the Jiangnan outlaws are taking place at the Wanghai Tower in Mingzhou City,"
Pang Wanchun said in a low voice,
"The time is noon five days from now."
"My brother and I are going to visit an old friend,"
"Tell them the news you learned from Master Zhao,"
"Sir, you..."
"Please make yourselves at home,"
Zhao Yuan laughed.
“We also have a place to stay in Minnesota,”
"See you later."
"See you later!"
The Pang siblings cupped their hands in greeting.
He led a few henchmen from Siming Mountain to take their leave.
After they left,
On Zhao Yuan's side,
They also began to stroll around Mingzhou City.
Half an hour later,
Zhao Yuan and his group then encountered the news.
Ruan Xiaowu rushed over.
"Brother, second brother!"
Upon seeing the crowd, Ruan Xiaowu
He then greeted them warmly.
"So, what do you think of the scenery in the South?"
Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.
"The scenery is indeed much better than what we have in Shandong."
Ruan Xiaowu said,
"However, there's one thing I don't really like..."

"Oh,"
Zhao Yuan asked curiously.
"What is it about the South that Fifth Brother doesn't like?"
"That southerner is so stingy,"
Ruan Xiaowu pouted and said,
"The food and drinks in that hotel were all served in such tiny bowls,"
“Every time I go to a hotel, I’m never full.”
"Unlike us in Liangshan, where we eat meat and drink wine to our hearts' content,"
"That's really satisfying!"
"Haha, you!"
Zhao Yuan laughed.
"The food people eat in the South is considered exquisite,"
"It's not the same path as the ruggedness of the North."
"I'm just a rough guy, I don't care about refinement or ruggedness."
Ruan Xiaowu patted his belly and chuckled.
"I only know one thing: I'm never full!"
They exchanged a few jokes.
Ruan Xiaoer asked,
"How is it? Has your place to stay been arranged, brother?"
"Don't worry, Second Brother, I've already prepared for this."
Ruan Xiaowu replied,
"As my brother requested, we're by the Moon Lake,"
"I bought a small courtyard."
"That courtyard is secluded, and the back leads to Moon Lake."
"Even if something happens,"
“We can also go directly from Moon Lake to the outer sea from the back of the courtyard.”
"By the way, where is the Wanghai Tower?"
Zhao Yuan asked,
"Is it far from the courtyard you prepared?"
"Wanghailou is near the courtyard we bought,"
Ruan Xiaowu explained,
"The Wanghailou Hotel is also located by Moon Lake, and it's considered one of the most prestigious hotels in Mingzhou City,"
"That shop is a mixed bag; all sorts of people are there,"
"In order to gather information, we have already bribed two of the shop's young employees."
"I've heard that the Jiangnan outlaws are holding a grand alliance meeting in a couple of days,"
"It will be held right here in Wanghailou."
"Okay, let's go to the courtyard first."
Zhao Yuan stretched.
"We've been traveling for so many days,"
"It's time to get some rest."
"By the way, our men are still outside the city,"
"Go and arrange for people to bring them to the city in batches."
"Don't attract attention."
"it is good,"
Ruan Xiaowu nodded.
He gave a few words of instruction to the soldiers behind him.
Then he led the way.
He led Zhao Yuan and the others to the small courtyard by Moon Lake.
Mingzhou is a major city in the southeast.
In terms of scale, it may not be as large as the Daming Mansion in Beijing.
But in terms of prosperity,
The two are exactly the same.
Even compared to that Daming Prefecture,
It is much richer.
Zhao Yuan followed behind Ruan Xiaowu.
Halfway through,
They happened to run into the magistrate of Mingzhou.
The head constables led the procession, beating gongs and drums, and escorting the people along the way.
They were driven away and fled in disarray.
It was originally a perfectly good street,
It immediately descended into chaos.
