However, a strange scene happened on this cement road today. On the right branch road facing Chang'an, countless cars and horses were rumbling, racing against time toward Chang'an. Although there was a spacing between the trains and horses, the speed was still affected. Compared with the crowded splits on the right, the trains and horses on the left branch road seemed very rare. In other words, the trains and horses to Chang'an today accounted for the vast majority of the trains and horses on this road.

Li Yan and his group of dozens of carriages were also crowded between the carriages. However, compared to other people, there were thousands of guards riding horses around their carriages, so no one dared to get too close. However, there were too many people on the road. Although the others knew that this convoy must be a big man, they had no place to hide, so Li Yan and his carriages couldn't get up fast.

"Wow~ so many people!" Caier in Li Yan's carriage lay on the car window, and shouted excitedly while watching. She grew up in Taiwan since she was a child. Although there are towns there, most of them are sparsely populated places. Naturally, she has never seen so many people huddled on the road.

"Liu Huang, this time I went back to Guanzhong, I found that it was really a huge change. When I passed by Luoyang two days ago, I almost didn't dare to recognize it!" Yang Hing on the carriage stroked his beard and smiled. He was originally an open-minded person. Since he agreed to go back to Chang'an, he put all his knots aside, and he walked and admired the human customs on the road.

"Haha, uncle, you have not arrived in Chang'an yet. When you arrive in Chang'an, you will definitely be shocked. There is a real prosperous place, several times better than Dengzhou and Luoyang!" Before Li Yan could answer, Li Ke rushed to speak. They were riding in a specially made four-** carriage, which was not only smoother and faster, but also wider. It would not feel crowded if they sat on a dozen people.

"The third brother is right, and if my uncle is interested, he can also watch the upcoming first sports meeting of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, not only will athletes from all over the country participate in the competition, but also players sent from surrounding countries. It is very lively. Look, the reason why the road here is so crowded is because the Tang Dynasty Sports Meeting is about to be held!" Li Yan also said with a smile.

Last year, he was going to be preparing to hold the first sports meeting of the Tang Dynasty, but because of insufficient preparation time and the wrong season, many events could not be held, so he had to hold a streamlined version of the Winter Games, and the real sports meeting was held in the six-minute month of this year. Now it is mid-May, and naturally countless people are rushing to Chang'an.

"No...no. Are these people all going to Chang'an to participate in that sports meeting?" Yang Ming widened his eyes and asked in shock. The ones he saw on the road alone were probably at least tens of thousands of people. If so many people were participating in the sports meeting, then the scale of this sports meeting would be too large, right?

Li Yan smiled and explained with a hurried smile: "My uncle misunderstood. In fact, there are still a few people participating in the sports meet. The main reason is that as soon as the sports meet is held, there will definitely be countless people to watch it, and this is undoubtedly a huge business opportunity for various businesses. So most of the people we saw on the road are merchants in several cities near Chang'an. Look at the carriage in front of you, most of the transports are all kinds of goods."

Yang Qing followed Li Yan's finger and found that in the carriages in front and behind, there were all large and small bags of goods. And looking at the dress of the people on the carriage, they were indeed all clerks in the business. Then he laughed and said, "So that's it, but what is this sports meeting for? How could it attract so many people?"

When he heard Yang Ming ask about this, Li Ke immediately laughed and pointed at Li Jin and said, "Uncle, you have found the right thing. This sports meeting was created by Liu Huang, and we had already held it last winter."

When Yang Ming heard that it was his nephew, he was naturally even more interested. Caier, who was lying on the car window next to him, also heard about the sports meeting, and immediately jumped out of his seat and ran to Li Yan, asking curiously: "Second cousin, please explain the sports meeting to me and my father. Isn't it fun?"

"Haha~, we Caier is still smart. We immediately talked about the key points. This sports meet is really fun!" Li Yan rubbed Caier's little head and said with a friendly smile. Their motivation for the sports meet was to be fun. Although there were other meanings, it was not within Li Yan's consideration.

Next, Li Yan explained the sports meeting in detail, which made Yang Ming amazed. As for Caier, who was only ten years old, she was even more eager to see Li Yan's little stars appear. She really didn't expect that her second cousin could come up with such a fun way, and that she would have to watch every game of the sports meeting in person.

Because there were too many people on the road, Li Yan and his convoy were stuck between cars and horses, and the speed was not fast at all. Although the opposite road next to it was very empty and the isolation belt in the middle was connected to the left and right, no one dared to drive in the opposite direction. This was not because the people of the Tang Dynasty were more qualified than those of the drivers in later generations, but because the Tang Dynasty punished this behavior too severely. There would be officials inspecting it every other section of the road. If someone found that he dared to drive in the opposite direction, the transportation and goods would be confiscated at the least, and a huge fine would be imposed. At worst, it might be sued. It would not be uncommon to be locked up for a few years. So in order to get some time, there was no need to take such a big risk.

Of course, driving in the opposite direction is not absolutely not allowed. In the newly added Tang Dynasty law, there is a situation where driving in the opposite direction is allowed, that is, when encountering an emergency military situation, the messenger who reported the message can drive at will on the road, including driving in the opposite direction. Even if he hits a person, he is not guilty. Even the person who is hit may be punished. After all, the military situation is urgent and cannot be delayed at all.

As the prince, Li Yan also has Li Ke, Li Yun and Li Zhen in the convoy, and four princes together. However, even so, their convoy is still driving honestly on the right side, after all, without crossing the line. First, this road was proposed by Li Yan, and he certainly has to take the lead in abide by the rules on the road. Second, although they are princes, they do have privileges in some aspects, but no one is not supervising them. For example, if they dare to go against the trend and let a bold censor participate in the book, although there will be no big deal, it will definitely make Li Shimin unhappy, so they should still keep a low profile when it is time to keep a low profile.

After chatting with Yang Hing and Caier for a while, Li Hing used the excuse of something wrong. Then, under Caier's dissatisfied gaze, under Yang Hing and Li Ke's sarcasm, Li Hing got off the carriage with a smile and ran to a carriage behind.

This carriage is smaller than the one in Yang Hing in front, but it is also very comfortable. The dozen or so guards riding on the horse next to him are not Li Yan's people, but the guards of Cheng's mansion. These people were all sent by Mrs. Cheng to Meng Xue, so there is no need to ask, the one sitting in this car is naturally Meng Xue.

Li Yan came to the carriage, greeted the guards next to him, and then got on the carriage directly. The guards knew the relationship between their ladies and Li Yan, and they were familiar with Li Yan, so they naturally smiled and did not stop them.

As soon as Li Yan got on the carriage, he heard a sensation in the carriage. When he opened the car door, he found Meng Xue holding a silver needle in her left hand and holding Chong Chong's arm with her right hand, laughing and trying to get an needle for her. The timid Chong Chong was so scared that she hid, but the space in the carriage was limited, so she couldn't escape her own lady's "claws".

Fortunately, Li Yan came in at this time, and finally let Chongchong find his savior. He hid behind Li Yan with a swoosh, and said timidly: "Sister-in-law, help me, the lady bullies Chongchong again!"

Cui Mengxue didn't expect Li Yan to come in suddenly. She didn't look like a lady now. Coupled with Chongchong's words "son-in-law", Mengxue was even more embarrassed and angry. She glared at Chongchong, then hurriedly sat up, stroked her messy hair behind her ears, and gave Li Yan an embarrassing smile: "You are here!"

After spending this period of time together, Mengxue has completely accepted Li Yan. Moreover, when she gets along, Li Yan found that Mengxue is not as quiet as she seems on the surface. When she is alone, she will also reveal her lively nature. So Li Yan has long been accustomed to this situation today.

Li Yan sat down with a smile, and drove Zhucheng to the corner of the carriage. Then he spoke: "Mengxue, we will be able to return to Chang'an the day after tomorrow. Have you really made up your mind?"

"Well, the power of one person is limited. If you want to treat more people, you need a large number of doctors. So I also want to open my own medical school like Doctor Sun!" Cui Mengxue said with a firm look on his face.

"Okay, since that's the case, then take advantage of this time to teach at Datang Medical College. Be familiar with the management and teaching of all aspects of the medical school. After we get married, I will take you to our own place to build a larger medical school for you than in Chang'an!" Li Yan saw that Meng Xue had made up his mind, so he had to nod and said.

Cui Mengxue's face turned red when she heard the word "marriage". However, when she heard Li Yan promised to build a larger medical school, she couldn't help but show excitement on her face. She has been obsessed with medicine all her life and only wants to cure diseases and save people. It can be said that she is a real doctor. Now she can have a better way to save people, so she is naturally more willing to do it. However, Mengxue's excitement lasted for a while, but she thought of something that made her feel a little embarrassed, and there was a hint of worry on her face.
