Done! Your Majesty is going to prostitute me for free!

He continued with a sigh, "It's so sad. Wars should never happen in this world. The ones who suffer are the lower-class people." As he spoke, a trace of helplessness and sadness flashed in his eyes.

Mod blinked, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief. He felt from Lin Xiaofeng's words that Jingjiang cared and cared for the people at the bottom of society. This respect and cherishment for life moved him.

The tension and vigilance in everyone's hearts gradually dissipated in Lin Xiaofeng's words. Mod stepped forward and asked, "Is Jingjiang really willing to lend money to help them rebuild their homes?" There was a hint of expectation and doubt in his voice.

"Of course!" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly opened his arms and said to everyone, "Not only the prisoners and the disaster victims, but also your countries can borrow money from us if they need our help. And we can guarantee that the interest rate will not be too high so that everyone can afford it."

His words were full of firmness and sincerity, which made everyone feel Jingjiang's benevolence and responsibility. The generals could not help but admire: "Jingjiang is benevolent!" They knew that with Jingjiang's strength, they could rob money all over the world to expand their territory, but Jingjiang chose to help the weak. This spirit made them admire it very much.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere had completely disappeared. General Mod walked forward with hope and asked cautiously: "Marquis Jianye, I am sure there will be no problem with the prisoners. It's the weapon you just used. What's it called?" His eyes flashed with curiosity and desire, as if he wanted to explore the secret of the mysterious weapon.

Many people followed and listened carefully, afraid of missing any details. Jingjiang is selling equipment! Now there are more powerful weapons, maybe they will sell them. Ask, just in case you can buy them.

Looking at the reactions of the generals, Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "The weapon used on the battlefield just now is called the Gate of Hell." His tone revealed a sense of pride and mystery, as if the name itself contained endless power and majesty.

Everyone gasped! Hell's Gate! This name sounds awe-inspiring. The weapon used by the rebel king of Jingjiang is called Divine Punishment, while Jingjiang's weapon is named Hell's Gate. Judging from the names, the two are obviously related! After the Divine Punishment, isn't it entering the Hell's Gate?
Someone couldn't help but ask: "Marquis Jianye, do you people in Jingjiang also believe in religion? What god do you believe in?" This question was obviously beyond Lin Xiaofeng's expectations, but he quickly replied: "We in Jingjiang believe in all gods. We believe in whatever is useful and destroy whatever is useless." There was a calmness and fearlessness in his tone, as if this diversity of beliefs was one of the secrets of Jingjiang's strength.

"Hiss~ Is this still possible? Isn't this considered blasphemy?" someone exclaimed. Lin Xiaofeng smiled and said, "As long as there are enough believers, it doesn't matter if you blaspheme one or two gods? Don't gods have to compete? And I think this way of believing is more effective." His words revealed a kind of open-mindedness and wisdom, which made people talk about it, and many people began to become interested in this unique way of belief.

Mod was obviously not very interested in this topic. He looked towards the battlefield from time to time, as if he was thinking about something important. After everyone quieted down, he asked, "Is the Hell Gate in Jingjiang for sale?" His eyes were fixed on Lin Xiaofeng, as if he wanted to find some important information from his answer.

Lin Xiaofeng shook his head and said, "No. Although the Hell Gate is not the best weapon we brought, it is rare and we will not sell it." His answer was firm and decisive, leaving no room for Mod to negotiate. However, he continued, "But please rest assured, if you need strong military support, we can definitely come up with another plan for your reference."

He paused and continued, "We in Jingjiang are one of the most peace-loving countries in the world. In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to safeguard world peace, if any of your countries feels insecure or is attacked by injustice, we in Jingjiang are willing to send troops to help!" His words were full of passion and sense of justice, which made everyone feel Jingjiang's responsibility and determination.

"We can even send troops directly to your doorstep to protect your safety. This is what our comrade-in-arms Ferrero does. Their generals have learned a lot of advanced experience and equipment manufacturing methods from our Jingjiang generals." He explained further, as if he wanted to dispel everyone's concerns and worries in this way.

However, the generals remained silent, and they all had something in mind. They knew that it was better to give up this idea. After all, if they brought Jingjiang's army to their doorstep, if they upset the people of Jingjiang one day, it would cause a disaster that would destroy their country and their families, which would not be worth the loss. But this idea is indeed worth considering. After all, many of them are from small countries with low risk resistance. Jingjiang's reputation is still quite reliable, and this relationship may be used one day. Not to mention that they can also learn Jingjiang's tactics and equipment manufacturing methods.
"Okay everyone, I have limited time here and I have to follow His Majesty to pursue the enemy. Please start collecting prisoners now." Lin Xiaofeng said to everyone with a fist. He turned over, got on the horse, and ran towards Li Dexian, leaving only his back, which looked particularly brave and fearless in the afterglow of the setting sun.

At the same time, the army of Jingjiang was also moving forward, and the soldiers held their guns to defend themselves, to prevent the scattered prisoners from having any thoughts of suicide. Lin Xiaofeng looked into the distance with his hands on his back, muttering, "They ran so fast that I couldn't see them." His eyes flashed with determination and resolve, as if he was ready to pursue.

Li Dexian smiled contemptuously and said, "They are indeed running fast, but this also proves that the morale of the entire army has been lost, and the danger has been greatly reduced." His words revealed his disdain and ridicule for the enemy, and at the same time expressed his confidence and expectation for victory. Then he turned to Lin Xiaofeng and said, "Old Lin, don't worry, they are fighting much harder than us. We are fast, and it won't take long for us to catch up with them." His voice was full of determination and courage, as if he was promising Lin Xiaofeng something. And Lin Xiaofeng nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face.

"Your Majesty, the pursuers from Jingjiang have already set up camp fifteen miles away. Should we also set up camp and rest?" Su Hao said with a tired face, exhausted. His armor was soaked with sweat, and it shone with a tired but determined light under the rising sun.

After the defeat in the first battle, the troops of Jingjiang had been chasing the enemy all night long. The soldiers were in low morale and almost exhausted, and they needed to rest urgently.

The eyes of the Prince of Hanjiang dimmed. He looked around at the exhausted soldiers, feeling mixed emotions. He looked up into the distance, which was the direction of the Jingjiang Army, and a feeling of powerlessness surged into his heart. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then slowly said, "Set up camp on the spot, and the scouts will report at any time."

After the order was given, the soldiers felt relieved and began to get busy. The central army tent was quickly set up. Although it was simple, it could provide a temporary resting place for the soldiers. The food was also prepared. Although it was not rich, it was rare in this war-torn era.

However, facing the dishes on the table, King Hanjiang had no appetite. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all, trying to use alcohol to numb his tired nerves. He put down the wine glass and asked in a deep voice: "How many troops do we have now?"

Su Haoqiang cheered up and replied, "We only have 120,000 soldiers left, and most of the deserters fled to the other two routes. I guess other generals may gather some remnants, a total of about 600,000. As long as we can catch our breath, we still have a chance to defeat the enemy."

King Hanjiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Six hundred thousand? Oh, how many people died on the other side?" The atmosphere in the room gradually became heavy, and the generals looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. They all knew how disadvantageous this war was for them.

The King of Han River drank one cup after another, as if he wanted to drown himself in the ocean of alcohol. The generals also raised their cups to drink together, but they had long lost their original ambitions. They silently waited for the King of Han River's instructions, their hearts filled with helplessness and confusion.

At this moment, a report suddenly came from outside the tent: "Your Majesty! The Razor Club wants to see you for an important matter!" King Hanjiang put down his wine glass, frowned, and gestured for them to come in.

Four people including Fo Bole walked into the tent. They looked around and saluted to the King of Hanjiang, saying, "Your Majesty! We have important intelligence to report!" Their voices were sonorous and powerful, as if injecting a bit of vitality into the dull atmosphere. However, what happened next was beyond everyone's expectations. The four people suddenly pulled out pistols from their waists. After several gunshots, the generals who were sitting behind the desk fell to the ground one after another. The whole process was clean and neat and took no more than five seconds! The black muzzle of the gun pointed at the astonished King of Hanjiang, "What are you going to do! Rebellion!" The King of Hanjiang roared and slapped the table frantically with his hands. The graceful image disappeared at this moment, leaving only a face intertwined with fear and anger, which looked particularly twisted and hideous. "Your Majesty!" Fo Bole said in authentic Jingjiang dialect, "I am here to invite you home on the orders of His Majesty and Marquis Jianye!" These words exploded in the ears of the King of Hanjiang like a bolt from the blue! He stared at the four betrayers in front of him in a daze, his heart filled with despair and helplessness, "Razor Society... How can people from the Razor Society speak Jingjiang dialect!?" He muttered to himself, as if he wanted to find a trace of comfort in this sentence, "Traitor! You are traitors!" However, the facts are already in front of him, no matter how he argues, he cannot change this cruel reality. Panic, confusion, anger, fear... all kinds of emotions intertwined and surged into his heart, "Who are you? Why do you want to betray me!?" Hanjiang King roared with bloodshot eyes. At this time, he had completely lost his mind, leaving only endless anger and despair, "Razor Society is the Jinyiwei." Fobole smiled and said, "We have never surrendered to Your Majesty, how can we say we betrayed him?" After that, he ordered his left and right, "Okay, that's enough! Hurry up and tie up the prince and gag him! Find someone to ride a fast horse to let Your Majesty's troops come to support!"······

Soon after, Li Dexian led a large army to the scene and joined the Jingjiang army. He held a telescope to observe the situation on the opposite side. Although the Razor Society said that they had captured the King of Hanjiang, he did not dare to believe it completely. However, when he saw that the King of Hanjiang's army on the opposite side had surrendered their weapons, the soldiers stood in place with their weapons thrown in front of them and looked at Jingjiang, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It seems that they really succeeded!" He sighed. Lin Xiaofeng also nodded in agreement and felt happy, "Once the leader is captured, the soldiers below will have no morale, and there shouldn't be too many troubles later."

Jingjiang's army marched at full speed, and the two armies soon met. Both sides stopped a hundred meters away, observing each other's situation. Li Dexian sent a team to confirm the situation, and soon the team returned and reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty! The enemy chief has been captured, and the enemy troops have surrendered on the spot. Our army can enter at any time."

After hearing this, Li Dexian nodded with satisfaction and looked at Lin Xiaofeng and said, "It seems that I really have to reward these foreigners. They have made such great contributions and saved the lives of many soldiers." After that, he led the army slowly forward into the military camp of King Hanjiang.

The four people of Fobole were waiting in the center of the place, holding the King of Hanjiang hostage and keeping vigilant around. They were not completely relieved until they saw the figures of Li Dexian and others. They pulled the King of Hanjiang forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have fulfilled your mission!" After that, they pushed the King of Hanjiang in front of Li Dexian. At this time, the King of Hanjiang hung his head and didn't know what his expression was, while Li Dexian nodded with satisfaction and pointed his whip at the surrendered soldiers around him and said, "Yes, you did all this?" "Your Majesty, yes." After we captured the rebels and informed the whole army, all the enemy troops automatically surrendered and no longer had any intention of rebelling. "Fobole replied, "Good! Very good! Bring him to the tent and all the others stay outside on alert!" Li Dexian ordered.

The atmosphere in the central army tent was solemn. There were only Li Dexian, Lin Xiaofeng and the captured King Hanjiang. At this moment, King Hanjiang was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. His image was completely lost and he no longer had the majesty of the past. He barely arched his body, his face was covered in dust, his long hair was scattered on his shoulders, his eyes were blank, and he looked extremely miserable.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the once arrogant prince in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. He remembered that the last time he saw the King of Hanjiang, he was still so heroic and ambitious. Even when he fled overseas under the pressure of the court, he did not show any signs of decadence. But now, after just a few years of not seeing him, he has become so decadent, his hair has turned a lot white, and his spirit seems to have been completely shattered in the war.

Lin Xiaofeng sighed in his heart. Nothing can resist the change of time. He walked forward slowly, bent down and took out the cloth ball from the mouth of the King of Hanjiang. The King of Hanjiang coughed a few times, and his hoarse voice echoed in the tent: "Royal brother...are you still alive?"

Lin Xiaofeng nodded slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty is fine and has abdicated normally."

Li Dexian stood aside, looking at King Hanjiang smugly and said sarcastically: "Uncle, long time no see. You didn't expect to lose to me, did you? How does failure feel?" However, King Hanjiang seemed not to hear his words. His dazed eyes just passed over him and stayed on Lin Xiaofeng.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at the state of the Hanjiang King, and a complex emotion surged in his heart. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "The war is not over yet, I need the prince to help me with a little bit and solve the remaining chaos."

Upon hearing this, the King of Hanjiang just smiled stiffly and then fell silent again. He seemed to have made up his mind about life and death, and was indifferent to everything in front of him. Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng sighed and said, "You will die anyway. Since you are a member of the royal family, I will definitely give you a quick death. But leaves return to their roots. Don't you want to go back to Jingjiang to take a look before you die? Or do you just want to die overseas?"

The King of Hanjiang was in a trance for a moment, and a complicated light flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a long time, and finally uttered a word slowly: "Okay..."

With the cooperation of the King of Hanjiang and the troops of Jingjiang, the other rebels were defeated very quickly. The King of Hanjiang personally came forward, and some of the rebels were persuaded to surrender, while others chose to continue fighting. However, those so-called million-strong troops exposed many shortcomings in the subsequent wars. Although their troops were huge, the quality of the soldiers was uneven, and they were far from qualified in both mental and physical qualities. Their response to military orders was also far worse than that of ordinary soldiers, which made it extremely difficult for the rebel generals to command and operate.

In fact, even if the rebel generals could achieve refined command, it would be useless. They did not even have time to come up with a contingency strategy to circumvent hot weapons. Faced with Jingjiang's crazy pursuit and heavy firepower, the enemy was almost defeated in one blow. It took a month in a row, and most of the rebels were suppressed and wiped out by the Jingjiang army. In the process, several princes who led troops were captured and killed.

By the end of the war, the rebels had lost all their fighting spirit. There were even mutinies within many of the combat troops. During the escape, the generals ordered to burn the food, but no one followed the order. After the generals were killed, their heads were even taken away by the rebel soldiers as gifts for surrender. In the end, the large army was beaten to pieces and was in disarray. The remaining small groups of defectors were nowhere to be found, and Jingjiang was too lazy to care about them.

After the war, Li Dexian led his army directly back to the Holy City with a large number of prisoners and seized supplies. The Holy City received the news in advance and held a grand welcome ceremony under the auspices of Master Zhou. The news that the fleet returned safely and won a great victory made Lin Xiaofeng completely relaxed. He looked at the ironclad ship in the distance and couldn't help but sigh: In this era, it is equivalent to the combat power of an aircraft carrier. It is really awesome. I thought too much before.

When the King of Hanjiang learned of the fleet's defeat, he just laughed at himself. Yes, they could bring out powerful weapons in land battles, but they were also crushed in naval battles. What's so strange about that? Now he just wanted to return to Jingjiang to die and take a look at the current state of his hometown.

His wish was fulfilled. Lin Xiaofeng and Li Dexian did not want to stay here any longer, and after spending another month dealing with the prisoners, the distribution of church interests, and relations between various countries, they returned to the port and prepared to set off back to Jingjiang.

The port was very lively that day. In addition to the people of Jingjiang, there were envoys from more than ten countries and even princes gathered here. They all came to see off the Jingjiang fleet. After all, Jingjiang defeated the powerful force that had existed in this land for hundreds or thousands of years at lightning speed. Such news has spread to most of the surrounding countries at the fastest speed. Now, no one dares not to pay attention to Jingjiang, a mysterious country from the East.

After a brief greeting, Li Dexian led everyone to board the ship in advance. Lin Xiaofeng stayed at the dock to say his final goodbye. He looked around at the familiar faces and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart. At this time, Gouweicao came over and sighed: "Brother, I don't know how many years it will take for us to see each other again. It's a pity that Master Zhou has also gone back. Life has lost a lot of excitement."

Lin Xiaofeng patted his shoulder gently and said, "It won't be long. You can't stay here forever. You have to learn to give yourself a break. There are so many ships coming and going now. There will be more ships coming from Jingjiang in the future. You can come back anytime." But Gouweicao'er shook his head, turned around and looked at the busy port and said, "There are too many things going on here. I'm afraid I don't have time to get away. There are still many soldiers from Jingjiang stationed here. I wonder when the court will send ships to take them back?"

"Let the army stay here." Lin Xiaofeng said, "We will send ships to rotate the soldiers regularly in the future. And we should select our garrison bases with the Emperor of God as soon as possible in the six major dioceses. After all, Jingjiang has to maintain the peace and order of this land." After saying that, he patted Gouweicao'er's shoulder again and said, "Write to me more often when you have time after I leave." Gouweicao'er nodded deeply and watched Lin Xiaofeng board the ironclad ship.

As the whistle sounded, the huge fleet slowly set sail and headed for the distance. Lin Xiaofeng stood at the bow and looked at the gradually receding port, his heart full of anticipation and reluctance. He knew that this farewell was for a better reunion next time, and he was looking forward to that day.

Before we knew it, the fleet had been sailing on the blue sea for half a month. This journey seemed like a dream, slowly moving forward towards an unpredictable future with confusion and unknowns.

On this day, the sky was exceptionally clear, with no clouds in the sky. A gentle sea breeze blew by, bringing with it the salty taste of the sea and the fragrance of the distant continent. The sun shone generously, and the golden light danced on the sea, as if countless elves were dancing, and the golden light flickered on the sea, like a moving picture.

The King of Han River stood quietly on the deck, his hands on the guardrail, and looked deeply into the distance of the vast sea. His heart was filled with endless confusion, as if he had lost his way in this vast sea. Since he was forced to step onto this ship, he has experienced a huge transformation from a noble prince to a prisoner. However, what bound him was not physical shackles, but shackles of the mind.

Lin Xiaofeng's appearance broke the moment of tranquility. He took two glasses of freshly squeezed juice and walked lightly onto the deck. His arrival seemed to inject a bit of vitality into the quiet scene. "Your Highness, you are in such a good mood." Lin Xiaofeng smiled and handed a glass of juice to King Hanjiang. "It's freshly squeezed juice. If you don't eat fresh fruit, it will rot."

Hanjiang Wang took the juice and took a sip. The sweet and sour taste spread in his mouth, as if it brought back some memories that were hidden deep inside him. He leaned against the railing and continued to stare at the sparkling sea, but the waves in his heart were hard to calm down.

Lin Xiaofeng stood beside him, quietly admiring the magnificent seascape. He wanted to ask about the experiences of the King of Hanjiang over the years, but seeing his solemn expression, he swallowed his words back.

After finishing a glass of juice, King Hanjiang finally broke the silence: "If I had taken the initiative to find you and meet you back then... would everything be different today?" His voice was low and magnetic, as if carrying endless vicissitudes and emotion.

Lin Xiaofeng lowered his head and chuckled, then replied, "Maybe. But life is like this, there are no ifs. Everything that has happened is inevitable. We cannot change the past, we can only accept reality and move forward courageously."

Prince Hanjiang turned around and looked at Lin Xiaofeng, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes: "In your eyes, am I so unbearable? Am I so inferior to your royal brother?" His words revealed a bit of unwillingness and self-mockery.

Lin Xiaofeng met his gaze calmly: "No, you are smart, strong, and tenacious. I am far inferior to you in wisdom..." As he spoke, the long-lost joy and pride gradually emerged in King Hanjiang's eyes.

However, the topic changed and Lin Xiaofeng continued, "But the future does not belong to you." His tone was firm and calm, as if he was stating an indisputable fact.

King Hanjiang waited nervously for his answer: "Why doesn't the future belong to me? I can be a wise monarch, so why can't I have the future?" His voice revealed deep persistence and desire.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled contemptuously: "I am very happy that you admire me. But from the beginning to the end, you only value my ability and have nothing to do with my character. From the beginning to the end, I can only see your ambition and ability but never your character."

He paused and continued, "Everything is serving your ambitions. Everything you do is for yourself. You still have a son in Jingjiang, right? We have been together for so long. Has he ever risked his life for you? His life or death is unknown. Have you ever asked him a question?"

King Hanjiang's face turned pale instantly. He opened his mouth but no sound came out. Lin Xiaofeng continued, "No! He is still alive because I saved his life. No matter how you explain it, it is just an excuse."

Then Lin Xiaofeng began to talk about what happened on the battlefield: "The weapons used on the battlefield this time were originally studied secretly by Yangqu County and no one in the court knew about it. If I were given two thousand people with such weapons, it would be enough to capture Kyoto and massacre the entire court."

He took a deep breath and continued, "But later, His Majesty knew that I was secretly developing this kind of weapon, but he never doubted or suspected me. If it were you... could you do it?"

The King of Hanjiang was speechless. If it were him, he would probably immediately find a way to eliminate this potential threat. This is like having a sword hanging over your head all the time, making it difficult for you to sleep or eat.

"The relationship between the two emperors and me has long surpassed that of an ordinary monarch and minister." Lin Xiaofeng's face showed a look of reminiscence. "I have experienced a lot from my youth to now, and my mentality has changed a lot. But some things have never changed - that is, my cherishment and trust in this relationship. After all, you and I are not on the same path. Even if we walked together at the beginning, we just parted ways in the end."

After hearing this, the King of Hanjiang was silent for a long time. He gritted his teeth and said, "Even if what you said is true! But how many great emperors in history were cold and ruthless! Do you think that the future is in the hands of your brother and Li Dexian just because of your feelings?"

"Yes!" Lin Xiaofeng answered with great confidence, "Your Majesty has a pure heart! I believe this feeling can overwhelm the desire for power! Break all shackles! Jingjiang will repeat history, create history, and have the opportunity to surpass history!"

"You don't know what I'm talking about!" Hanjiang Wang waved his sleeves in shame and turned his head away. At this time, Lin Xiaofeng just smiled faintly and did not refute.

At this time, Li Dexian came out of the cabin. He walked towards Lin Xiaofeng with two fishing rods in his hands: "Old Lin, it's too boring to stay on the boat, how about we go fishing?"

Lin Xiaofeng took the fishing rod and threw it into the water: "Okay, that's exactly what I meant."

Li Dexian looked at the Hanjiang King beside him and handed him another fishing rod: "Hey, do you want to go fishing with us?"

The King of Hanjiang was stunned for a moment and hesitated to take the fishing rod. However, at this moment, Li Dexian suddenly took out a submachine gun from his waist and grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Haha! I can use this to fish!"

The fleet was still sailing and approaching Jiangling Port. The river was sparkling, and the sun shone on the river, as if thousands of goldfish were jumping. Jiangling Port was faintly visible in the distance. It was a busy and vibrant port with ships shuttling back and forth.

Li Dexian stood at the bow, his robe rustling in the wind. He looked at Jiangling Port from afar with deep eyes, his heart full of expectation. He had been fighting for more than a year, and now he finally saw the port of home. How could he not be yearning for it?

At the same time, Lin Xiaofeng was also standing at the bow, his face also full of excitement. This time they had been away for too long, more than a year. He recalled the scene when they left Jingjiang. At that time, they shouldered the heavy responsibility of being the Emperor of Jingjiang and vowed to conquer the King of Hanjiang. Now, they not only did it, but also completed the task ahead of schedule. However, the round trip and handling other matters took up a lot of their time.

Lin Xiaofeng looked at Li Dexian's back, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions in his heart. In the past year or so, they have experienced life and death together, conquered the Han River together, and witnessed the rapid changes in the industrial age together. He didn't know what Kyoto has become now, but he knew that no matter how Kyoto changes, they will try their best to adapt and face it.

"Lao Lin, the air here is really bad!" Li Dexian suddenly said, "I didn't feel that before, but this time when I came back, I felt that the sky was a little gray."

Lin Xiaofeng looked up at the sky and frowned, "It seems a little bit." He secretly thought that these polluting factories must be moved away as soon as possible, otherwise the air will have problems sooner or later. He took a deep breath and felt an indescribable smell in the air, which made him more determined.

The fleet slowly sailed into Jiangling Port, which was already crowded with people. Officials of all ranks had already arranged the scene, and they stood in a row, ready to welcome the return of Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng. When Li Dexian was the first to get off the ship, all the officials shouted in unison: "Long live His Majesty! Welcome His Majesty back in triumph!"

Li Dexian smiled and waved, "Yes, yes, stand up!" He was in a particularly good mood, after all, he was back home. Thinking that he could return to Kyoto by train in a short while, he was even more excited. Although the battles in the West had brought him a lot of spoils and fame, the journey on the sea was too boring to bear. Now, he could finally return to the familiar Kyoto.

All the officials stood up, and the leading official stepped forward cautiously, "Your Majesty must have been exhausted from the long journey. I have specially prepared a welcoming banquet for Your Majesty. Please..."

"That's not necessary!" Li Dexian interrupted him before he could finish, "I want to take the train back to Beijing." Then he strode forward. Lin Xiaofeng followed behind him and glared at the official, "We sent a pre-arranged ship to notify you to come back to Beijing, and said we would go back directly to Beijing. Who asked you to prepare the banquet? Whose money did you spend? Wait for the audit!"

The official was frightened by Lin Xiaofeng's glare and quickly bowed his head to answer. Li Dexian led everyone to the train station. The train station was not far from the port, and everyone arrived soon. The train was already ready. Li Dexian was the first to board the carriage, followed by Lin Xiaofeng. As the whistle sounded, the train slowly started and drove towards Kyoto.

Li Dexian and Lin Xiaofeng sat opposite each other in the carriage. They looked out the window at the scenery passing by quickly, their hearts full of anticipation. In the past year or so, they have experienced too many ups and downs, and now they have finally returned to their homeland. They don't know what challenges and opportunities are waiting for them ahead, but they are ready to face everything.

As the train jolts and roars, the two's thoughts drift away. They begin to recall every detail of the journey, the fierce battles, the difficult decisions, the warm moments... All the experiences seem to be vivid in their minds. They smile at each other, their hearts filled with emotion and pride. No matter how the future changes, they will move forward hand in hand and face all challenges and opportunities together.

The King of Han River stood beside the train, his face full of confusion and curiosity. He looked up at the huge iron thing, his heart full of doubts. What on earth is this magical thing? Why do people call it a train?

Just as he was lost in thought, Lin Xiaofeng's voice suddenly sounded behind him. Before he could come to his senses, Lin Xiaofeng had already gently pushed him onto the train.

"Don't be in a daze anymore, go up and experience it and you will know." Lin Xiaofeng said with a smile.

The three of them sat in the spacious and luxurious imperial train, and the King of Han River was still looking at the scenery passing by the window in confusion. He was full of anticipation and anxiety, not knowing what would happen next.

The train body began to vibrate slightly, as if announcing the upcoming journey. The King of Han River instinctively grasped the armrest of the seat tightly, with a trace of tension that could not be concealed in his eyes. The vibration became more and more intense, as if it was going to shake the whole world. Soon, the train sped away like an arrow from a bow.

As the scenery outside the window began to change rapidly, the tension in the eyes of the King of Han River gradually turned into shock. He couldn't understand what was going on? Why did the ground below move by itself?
Seeing this, Lin Xiaofeng calmly explained: "When you were on the boat, weren't you always curious about how the boat could move without sails? In fact, the train we are riding now also uses similar technology."

"This train can run automatically without manpower. As long as it keeps burning coal, it will keep moving forward. In the future, all parts of Jingjiang, even remote areas, will be closely connected by train. This will greatly enhance our ability to transport resources across the country."

King Hanjiang listened to Lin Xiaofeng's explanation, and his expression gradually became dull. He leaned on the window, looking out, as if thinking about something. The train whirred and ran through the fields, mountains, and factories that emitted black smoke. All of this made King Hanjiang feel unfamiliar and flustered. He claimed to be smart, but at this moment he found that he knew nothing about this world.

What were those houses that were emitting black smoke used for? Why could this iron car run so fast just by burning coal and also pull the houses everywhere? He was filled with endless doubts and curiosity.

As the train sped along, the King of Hanjiang never took his eyes off the scenery outside the window. Only when the train slowly pulled into the station did he reluctantly withdraw his gaze. Lin Xiaofeng gently patted his shoulder and said, "Get off the train." The King of Hanjiang seemed to be still immersed in his thoughts, and was pulled off the train by Lin Xiaofeng.

In the train station hall, the carriage to Kyoto was ready. However, just as they were about to leave, Li Dexian suddenly fixed his gaze and pointed at the open space on one side of the hall. Lin Xiaofeng followed his gaze and was immediately struck by lightning!
There was an exhibition area built with fences on the open space, and in the middle was a roofless four-wheeled carriage. Behind the carriage was a stove, and next to the stove was a pile of firewood. What surprised Lin Xiaofeng was that the carriage actually had a steering wheel! And it was a four-seater carriage!
Could this be the legendary car? Lin Xiaofeng secretly marveled in his heart.

The official who received the emperor hurried forward and introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the self-propelled car that Beilang University built two months ago. It caused a sensation in Kyoto and is now on display here."

"Self-propelled car?" Li Dexian looked at Lin Xiaofeng happily, "Old Lin! Look, they made the project I set up. Even though it's a little ugly, it's still an improvement!"

"What does this thing use as fuel? It doesn't burn firewood, right?" Lin Xiaofeng hurriedly asked the official.

"It burns wood." The official replied. Lin Xiaofeng scratched his head. It seemed that their thinking was still based on the train design. However, the efficiency of burning wood should not be too high, right?
"I won't take the carriage anymore. I'll take this back to Beijing." Li Dexian licked his lips and said excitedly, "I want to see how it drives in person." The official was embarrassed for a while, but finally ran to find someone. Not long after, he came back panting with a young student: "Your Majesty, he can drive this car." (End of this chapter)
