Ming Xi went to inquire about it. This port was rebuilt a year ago. The original port was destroyed by the tsunami. The emperor ordered the reconstruction of this port. Moreover, after the sea calmed down, the original Hua country suddenly grew larger. Just like this port, it was several times larger than before. Originally, Hua country was surrounded by the sea on all sides. Now, there were only two rivers on both sides of the border that led to the other side.
Ye Zhen couldn't see what had happened to the border on both sides of the country, but from what she heard, the country had undergone tremendous changes and its territory had expanded, perhaps even larger than she had imagined.
"Mother, what are we going to do now?" Ming Xi asked.
"This is Nanzhou …" Ye Zhen whispered, "I came here with your grandfather before, but I didn't expect it to be unrecognizable."
Ming Xi asked, "What's different?"
"It's all different." Ye Zhen smiled faintly. "Let's go to the city first."
In the past, they entered Hua country from Nanzhou and met Shui Yichen and his sister here.
Shui Yichen did not disembark from the ship. Ye Zhen kept him on board until there were fewer people at the port tonight.
Nanzhou was Shui Yichen's former base camp. Although he had been away for a few years, there were certainly many people who remembered him.
Behind the harbor was the city gate. After they entered the city, it was a different scene. This place was very similar to the original Jinkou City. Although it was not as big as Jinkou City, and it did not have the majesty of the capital, it had a unique charm of the city. The scattered and continuous modern houses were hidden in the verdant green of the Chinese redbud and banyan trees. Under the sun, the harbor was filled with the smell of the sea, and it had an exotic atmosphere. The harbor was like a weave of sails, and there were countless merchant ships anchored. It looked very lively.
The city didn't seem to have changed much, but there were a lot more new houses than before. In a year or two, it would certainly be more prosperous than Jinkou City.
"We will set off for Northern Border City tomorrow morning." Ye Zhen whispered.
She also wanted to take advantage of the night to see what changes had taken place here.
They found an inn on the main street. Ming Xi, Shang'er, and the others had already happily run out. In the human world, it was almost impossible to see such a bustling place. However, everyone here had a serene smile on their faces. They were enjoying life, and their days were still as peaceful and stable as before.
It was as if the demonic beasts they had encountered before were all just a dream.
In a trance, Ye Zhen felt that the distant Ning Kingdom should be like this. Lively, stable, serene, prosperous, and not the panic they saw before. The demon beasts had never been here.
"There is no smell of demon beasts here." Fan Fan came to Ye Zhen's side. This was the first time she had been here, and she was a little surprised at the cleanliness.
Yes, it was very clean, without the slightest aura of a demonic beast.
Ye Zhen nodded gently. "This place is the same as the one I've been to before, but … China wasn't this big before."
"Maybe it's because of the tsunami. After the sea level receded, the island country became bigger." Wolsheng walked over and said, "Small islands in the sea are the easiest to change."
"Perhaps." Ye Zhen didn't know how much China had expanded. Just looking at the changes in the port and the news she heard, she felt that it was a completely different Central Plains.
No matter what had happened to this island before, they were already here.
"This place is far from the Central Plains. It's … normal for there to be no demonic beasts here." Ye Zhen said, but even she felt ridiculous. If there were no demon beasts in China, then what about the sea monsters they encountered along the way?
Since I'm here, I'll just take things as they come! Let's go to Northern Border City and find my father first.
Ye Zhen suppressed all her doubts. They really hadn't experienced such peace and prosperity for a long time, so she simply relaxed.
"Was the human world so lively in the past?" Ye Zhen asked.
"No." Fan Fan leaned against the window. "We didn't use to be like this."
At that time, people lived a simple life. Whether it was food or use, it was not as exquisite and beautiful as it is today. When she woke up, she was surprised to see people wearing such bright clothes.
"Let's go for a walk." Ye Zhen smiled. She had seen the ancient times in Bai Yi's illusion. At that time, even the houses were simple and crude huts, completely different from what they are today.
Moreover, there were more wars at that time.
Fan Fan nodded excitedly. "Okay."
"I'll go too!" Guan Jie immediately shouted.
Wolsheng smiled slightly. "You guys go. I'll stay here and watch over her."
He was talking about Shen Luoyang who had fallen asleep. After seeing Shui Yichen, she was in a panic. Ye Zhen gave her some tranquilizing tea, but she had not woken up yet.
Ye Zhen took Fan Fan and Guan Jie outside. She used to live in Nanzhou for some time and was familiar with the place. Later, when she led the army back to establish Yuan Country, her father stayed behind to do the sea business.
"These people … look very strange." At the 13th Trade Street, Fanfan saw a mortal with blond hair and blue eyes, and her eyes widened in surprise. "Look, that person's whole body is black, only his teeth are white, and that one's hair is red … Are they demonic beasts? I don't feel the breath of demon beasts. "
Ye Zhen laughed. "No, they are people from overseas. They look different from us."
When she first saw people from overseas, she was very surprised. It was her father who explained to her why they looked different from her.
"I didn't expect the human world to become like this after ten thousand years." Fan Fan sighed. She glanced sideways at Guan Jie, wondering what the Great Lord would think when he woke up and saw the continent like this.
Alas, how can I make the Great Lord wake up earlier?
Ye Zhen smiled. Suddenly, she saw the auction house in front of her. It was here that she first met Shui Yichen.
However, the once bustling auction house was now closed. It was not as lively as it used to be.
"Why is the auction house closed?" Ye Zhen asked in surprise. She still remembered that it was not easy to get in. If it weren't for the priceless jade pendant on her, she wouldn't even be able to enter the door.
"Miss, you must have just arrived here. This auction house has been closed for several years. Since Shui Yichen left, it has not been opened." A man on the side said.
Ye Zhen froze for a moment. She almost forgot that the auction house belonged to Shui Yichen.
"If you want to auction, there is a Ye family's restaurant over there. It is more powerful than the Shui family's."
Ye family's restaurant? Then I really have to go and have a look.
"Little brother, how do I get to the Ye family's auction house?" Ye Zhen asked.
"It's in the south of the city. Go straight to the end and you will see it."
