Zheng Zhilong said speechlessly: "The carriage is on fire, so the horse will not go crazy? I remember the history books said that Qin Shihuang established a galloping road, so that the carriage can run on wooden tracks, so that it can run faster.

But it’s really a luxury to make a Chidao with fine iron.”

Zheng Hongkui heard this and said, "There are so many people here, how many horses do you need to pull it? And, if it is just an ordinary carriage, why is it called a train?!"

The Jinyiwei next to him listened silently to the two of them sighed, although he really wanted to explain it to these two people who had never seen the world before so that they could show their knowledge.

But as the cultivation of the Jinyiwei, they cannot speak too much when performing tasks.

Fortunately, the time they calculated was right when they came.

Now the second line of the Beijing-Tianjin Railway has been built, and there is no need to wait for a round trip to travel. The two lines are staggered, which greatly facilitates the transportation between the two places.

Looking at the long black steel snake running wildly with white smoke, the huge whistle sound made Zheng Zhilong and others who saw the train for the first time feel very shocked.

"No horse, this big iron shell actually gallops so fast. It's so strange!" Zheng Hongkui couldn't help but swear.

Zheng Zhilong didn't say anything. He stared at this thing, but what he thought was that if there was something that could make the big iron shell run, it would definitely drive the big ship. If there was this power, what other ship on the sea was just his opponent!?

The train stopped, and the Jinyiwei on the side reminded: "Two, please come with me and take the seat according to the number on the ticket."

Following the Jinyiwei into the car, Zheng Zhilong and the others sat in a soft seat and then looked at the environment inside the car.

The decoration here is very simple and looks very neat. The upper part can hold some luggage and some under the seat.

Most of the people who got on the bus brought some things, some looked like merchants, some looked like scholars, and some were ordinary people who visited relatives.

The ticket price is not expensive. I heard from the Jinyiwei that he could reach the capital directly, and it was even relatively cheap.

A harsh whistle sounded, and the two of them watched the scenery on both sides gradually become blurred through the transparent glazed window, renamed the glass, and knew that this was something called "train" had already increased their speed.

A "clang clang" sound is produced during the train movement, but the sound insulation effect of this car is good, so you can have a good sleep.

There is a mobile dining car on the car, so you can buy some quick food to eat.

The train was much smoother than the carriage, and it was not bumpy at all. Now it was colder outside, so Zheng Zhilong and the others fell asleep in their seats soon.

I woke up once in the middle, ate something, slept again, and was surprised to find that the train stopped.

The loudspeaker came to the station to remind everyone to get off the train with their luggage, and Zheng Zhilong and the others followed.

Walking out of the station, people come and go, the spacious cement road, shouting and hawking are endless.

It was already dusk, but the streets were brightly lit, and it didn’t look like they were about to close the market. Men and women walked openly on the streets, not as sluggish as men and women traveling in the south.

A group of three officials walked by not far away. They seemed to be patrolling. Although they did not deliberately manage them, the three of them all raised their chests and walked very neatly.

Not far away, a huge bell tower stood. Looking at this thing, Zheng Zhilong exclaimed in surprise.

He thought that only the Western barbarians had clocks, but he didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty would have such exquisite things. He was really located in a corner of the southeast, like a frog watching the sky in a well, not knowing that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

After walking for a while, he realized that the bustling place was actually just the outer city of the capital!

"This capital is really big, much bigger than Quanzhou City!" Zheng Hongkui said.

Zheng Zhilong heard this and said, "This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty. What is Quanzhou? It is just one of the small towns of the Ming Dynasty."

After entering the inner city, the two were arranged to a hotel nearby.

The only one who can meet the emperor was Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Hongkui was not summoned, and Zheng Zhilong was not able to meet the emperor right now. According to tradition, he should accept etiquette teachings, but in the end he decided when he would meet him, the emperor had the final say.

The news of Zheng Zhilong's arrival quickly reached the palace. It was getting late at this time. Zheng Zhilong thought that at least the emperor would not summon him until tomorrow.

After all, I am nothing. I am just a little pirate leader who has just been recruited by the imperial court. How can I disturb the emperor's rest?

But in fact, not long after, an internal official from the palace came over and brought him to the palace.

Fortunately, he washed up as soon as he arrived here, which was not considered offensive to Tianyan.

After instructing his younger brother Zheng Hongkui for some reason, Zheng Zhilong followed the inner officer into the palace and came directly to a yard.

Guards were guarding the surroundings, and the distance between the palace maids and eunuchs was very far away. Several people were standing in the middle, and there were stoves burning around them. Two of them were wearing coats embroidered with gold wire, and the other, although they were also wearing silk, but there was no sign of identity.

The four women around them were embroidered with patterns of green phoenixes or phoenixes on their clothes, so they must be like the queen and concubines.

"Haha, Zheng Zhilong, you are here just in time. I am barbecuing with Liulihou. It's just baked. Come and try my skills!" Zhu Youjian said, and handed a skewer of barbecue in his hand to Zheng Zhilong who was about to salute him.

Xiao Sheng, who was standing beside him, joked: "Your skill is far worse than Ying's. No matter who you are judging, the result will be the same."

Zheng Zhilong guessed Xiao Sheng's identity. The only one who could be so close to the emperor was probably the legendary mysterious Marquis of Liuli.

"Okay. Then I won't comment anymore. I still have to eat it. I have baked a lot here, so I can't waste it." Zhu Youjian said.

Zheng Zhilong took the skewer with both hands and said respectfully: "Thank you for the reward of Your Majesty!"

"Tonight, there is no need to be polite. Let me introduce you to me. This is my sworn brother, Liuli Hou Xiaosheng. This is my imperial sister-in-law, Empress, Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan." Zhu Youjian said and introduced it to Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong was stunned for a moment when he heard this. No wonder it was rumored that the emperor and Marquis Liuli had a deep relationship. It turned out that they were sworn brothers. Isn’t this the king of a different surname?

Thoughts flew over in an instant, and Zheng Zhilong was about to greet each other, but Xiao Sheng suddenly spoke: "Zheng Guerrilla, Djokovic said that there is no need to be polite, so there is no need to be so polite."

Zhu Youjian suddenly spoke, "Zheng Yiguan, why not be the three of us sworn together, right? You are a little younger than your brother, so you will be the second brother, and I am the third brother."

Zheng Zhilong's mind fell into a blank space.
