Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 96 Golden Man Alley

As the footsteps grew closer, several people emerged from around the corner.

Leading the group was a woman with pointed ears, accompanied by a group of physicians from the Dan Ding Division.

—Although it's true that not all the doctors in the Pill Refining Division are disciples of the Medicine King, Yun Zhi's expression still wasn't very good upon seeing them.

Seeing the group of doctors looking around, Lan gave Yunzhi a wink.

Yun nodded knowingly and walked over.

"How reckless and unbecoming!"

He rebuked.

The woman seemed caught off guard by the sudden rebuke and paused for a moment.

Perhaps because the two looked like they had just come from the Shence Palace, she didn't know how powerful they were and didn't dare to be impolite.

"I'm sorry, it's our Miss Bailu. She's been playing and has run away again. We're worried she might be in danger, so we're looking for her."

Although I dare not be impolite, I am still quite arrogant as a practitioner of the Way.

It exudes the aroma of abundance.

Lan frowned in disgust.

What is Shence doing? The guys who learned the secrets of the Medicine King have already arrived at the gate of Shence Mansion, why don't they know to arrest them?

Or is it that there are too many people and they don't know where to start?

"Didn't they say the Dragon Girl was taken to the Shence Palace?" Yun Zhi's expression was somewhat sinister. "Why aren't you looking for the Cloud Cavalry? What are you doing here with a bunch of doctors? Who are you?"

"I...I am the Dragon Girl's maid."

The woman holding the light was taken aback by Yun Zhi's imposing aura and stammered for a moment, but she still managed to finish her sentence.

"The Dragon Girl's maid?"

Then it's really not surprising that he smells so rich.

What kind of good people could those old fogies have placed around the Dragon Lord?

Yun Zhi didn't want to say anything more to her, so he raised his voice: "Yun Cavalry!"

Hearing Yun Zhi's voice, the Yun cavalry in front of the Shence Mansion walked towards them.

The woman with the bright mind was somewhat flustered, but she still calmly said, "We are just looking for the Dragon Girl, there's no need to alarm the Cloud Cavalry, is there?"

"One can never be too vigilant against a traitor who colludes with the enemy."

Yunzhi's answer was exceptionally cold.

He wasn't worried that Bailu would hear him; they were quite a distance away from him.

"Besides, you're all from the Pill Refining Division. Logically, you should be staying put and waiting for questioning. Why are you lurking around the General's Mansion gate?"

Maid: Huh?

Wasn't it the general who sent someone to fetch the Dragon Princess? As her maid, she must have come along.

What is it now?

The maid was a little flustered.

In the blink of an eye, the Cloud Cavalry had already arrived in front of them.

"True Lord".

After causing a ruckus at the Shence Prefecture, all the Cloud Cavalrymen who come out of the Shence Prefecture now recognize Yun Zhi's face.

Yun Zhi didn't stand on ceremony: "Take him away to investigate. I've already told you, we need to be more careful with the Pill Refining Division. Don't let just anyone show up in front of me."

The Yunqi Army immediately obeyed the order and took the men away.

What a waste of time.

After watching the person leave, Yun Zhicai turned back to Lan.

"The person is gone, come out now."

Lan tilted her head back.

The small tuft of hair under the cloak slipped down rather awkwardly.

The little girl pointed two fingers at the dots: "Thank you! My name is Bai Lu, and I'm a physician from the Dan Ding Division. Don't let my young age fool you; my medical skills are amazing!"

"I know, otherwise you wouldn't be called the Medicine-Carrying Dragon Girl."

Yun said with a smile.

Bai Lu proudly put her hands on her hips: "Of course! By the way, big brother, are you two planning to go to Jinren Alley?"

She noticed that the magazine in Yun's hand had a headline that read "Travel Guide to Jinren Alley".

Yun nodded: "Yes, can you tell me how to get there?"

"No problem, no problem. As a renowned doctor who travels around eating and drinking... cough, to see patients, I know exactly what good food and fun things there are in Xianzhou. I'll definitely be your tour guide."

Bai Lu became even more proud, her dragon tail swaying behind her: "Moreover, if you encounter any stomach upsets or injuries during your trip, I can treat you immediately."

In the end, isn't it just that they want to come along?

Yunzhi couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, since that's the case, then we'll trouble Dragon Girl to be our guide and take us around Golden Man Alley."

"Yay!!!"

----------------

The cave in Jinren Lane is indeed not far away; just turn right after leaving the Shence Mansion and you'll find the road leading to Jinren Lane.

Bai Lu, holding Yun Zhi's hand, ran swiftly with her short legs, leading Lan and Yun Zhi into the Jinren Alley area.

Regarding Jinren Lane...

According to what Yun Zhicong read in the book, Jinren Lane is a very famous commercial street in Luofu, with many shops featuring Luofu characteristics.

His impression was that Jinren Lane was a tourist commercial street built by Luofu, much like the so-called "nostalgic streets" in his memory from a long, long time ago.

But when Yun Zhicai arrived at Jinren Lane, he felt that he had overestimated them a bit.

Jinren Lane is touted as something almost mythical in magazines.

But when I actually got here, I just felt a bit desolate – there weren’t many people, and although there were quite a few shops, many of them were closed.

Bai Lu pulled them to the vicinity of the food stalls in the middle of Jinren Alley.

"We're here!"

She exclaimed excitedly, "This is Jinren Lane, a food paradise! Big brother, let me tell you, the best thing about Jinren Lane is that there's so much delicious food!"

"Especially the local cuisine at 'Shang Ziwei,' you can only find it there in the entire Luofu area!"

Bai Lu's words sounded like she was about to drool.

Yun patted her head: "What do you want to eat? It's my treat."

Bai Lu's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Of course, don't worry, I'm very rich."

Some people give him money.

Bai Lu jumped up happily: "Yay! There are so many things I want to eat, ahhh, garlic sprouts, pork belly, crispy cucumber, spicy chicken cubes, Xingyu braised pork, red oil stir-fried beef offal, Chenpo tofu... My tongue is tied in knots, I can't even recite the names of medicines this fluently."

"Well, we can grab a bite at the food stall first. I'll eat whatever you want, big brother."

Yun nodded: "Go wait for us at the seats over there, and don't wander off."

"Don't worry, I'm not young anymore!" Bai Lu said, hands on her hips.

Yun smiled and looked at Lan: "Let's go, let's see what we want to eat."

As they talked, the two walked toward a nearby food stall.

Lan lowered her head in deep thought.

A moment later, he raised his head:

"When I arrived, I think I heard someone walk by mention... soda soy milk?"

"It's 'douzhi' (fermented mung bean juice)," Yunzhi corrected.

Soy milk... wait, soda soy milk?

What kind of operation is this? Are you mixing soda water and fermented mung bean juice together?

Yunzhi had a vague recollection of the dish "douzhi'er" (fermented mung bean juice).

It's a matter of whether you can get used to the taste, not whether it's hard to drink or not.

But baking soda and fermented mung bean juice... what kind of weird taste would that be?

Lan continued, still whispering in my ear, "I think I saw it on Xuanye Avenue, but I didn't buy it... Well, this is mine."

Yunzhi: ......

My dear General, wouldn't you like to reconsider?

Even though you're from Xianzhou, can you really get used to the taste?
