The Second Fleet celebrated the night in Port Louis, and the next morning, Zhang Long found Zhang Lin, "I have received an order, you are going to the imperial capital!" ”

Zhang Long sighed, "I originally planned to let you stay in the Second Fleet, but this morning an order came from the Ministry of the Interior, His Majesty the Emperor summoned you to Beijing, although there is a reward, but it is also a crisis, you should be more careful?" ”

"Why do you say that?" Zhang Lin asked puzzledly, "I shouldn't have affected the interests of some people!" ”

"That being said, now with your merits, you will at least be a major general, and you will be knighted, do you think there has been a major general as young as you in the empire for so many years? Although you are not threatening the position of some people now, with your command skills, is this position your end? You are afraid that you will threaten them in the future, so be more careful after you go, the power of the imperial capital is very chaotic, and there will be people to recruit you, but with your arrogance, it is estimated that you will not send people under the fence, just be more careful! After Zhang Long finished speaking, he patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder and left, leaving Zhang Lin in place thoughtfully!

A day later, Zhang Lin received an edict from the Ministry of the Interior, and then gathered the sailors of the Edward, and drove the Edward slowly out of Port Louis. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The wind and waves on the sea were very strong, Zhang Lin stood at the bow of the ship and watched the tide rise and fall, the unhappiness in his heart was swept away, and someone put on a coat for Zhang Lin: "Sir, will it be dangerous for you to go to the imperial capital this time?" Zhang Lin's adjutant Delin came to the bow of the ship, watched Zhang Lin staring at the sea in a daze, and then asked about the trip to the imperial capital.

Zhang Lin did not hide it, "It's not easy to go to the imperial capital this time, some people think that I am growing too fast and want to get rid of it quickly, but I am also prepared, Your Majesty will at least not kill me now!" I have a way to get out. In fact, Zhang Lin knew in his heart that this was just comforting his adjutant, if those people didn't want him to leave the imperial capital, he wouldn't be able to run away.

"Sir, no matter what, the Edward will be with you!"

"You must listen to orders, don't be impulsive and wait for me to come back, and continue to lead your brothers to make achievements." Zhang Lin listened to his adjutant's words, but even if he had an accident, he couldn't take the lives of more than 1,000 people on the Edward.

Time flies, seven days later, the Edward entered the sea area of the imperial capital, the lighthouse of the St. Petersburg harbor can be seen from afar, the busy St. Petersburg harbor is a large number of ships every day, but such a battleship entered St. Petersburg for the first time in recent years, after getting the consent of the port, Edward entered the St. Petersburg harbor, the imperial capital's harbor is more majestic than other seaports, and the prosperity is not comparable to other seaports, but Zhang Lin now has no intention of appreciating the prosperity of the imperial capital, Along the way, I was thinking about what could happen in the imperial capital, and I had to take precautions!

After landing on land, the sailors of the Edward were also allowed by Zhang Lin to take a holiday, and they could go to the imperial capital to look around!

"Are you Colonel Zhang Lin?" A young man dressed in Hualin stopped Zhang Lin at the exit of the harbor.

Zhang Lin carefully looked at the other party, judging from the clothes, it should be an official of the empire, there is a silver badge on his chest, which is carved with exquisite patterns, two slender silver swords are cross-inlaid on it, and there is a silver star on the badge, representing his rank, and before Zhang Lin can speak, the young man said politely: "I am an official of the Ministry of the Interior of the Empire, my name is Li Shang, a first-class viscount, and I am ordered to wait here for Colonel Zhang Lin." The colonel became famous in the first battle, and there are many aristocratic ladies in the imperial capital who are looking forward to meeting Colonel Zhang Lin, maybe they can form a good relationship! ”

Zhang Lin smiled, "I don't know why Viscount Li Shang is waiting here, I don't think I, a colonel, will let the chief of the Ministry of the Interior send someone to wait here, right?" ”

Li Shang made a gesture of invitation to Zhang Lin, "Let's talk while walking." Then he took Zhang Lin to a black car and opened the door for Zhang Lin! After Zhang Lin went up, Li Shang immediately entered the driver's seat, and the car started slowly.

"Someone asked me to remind you that you should be more careful during this trip to the imperial capital, and if you encounter a crisis, you can come to me, and I can keep you safe." Li Shang said to Zhang Lin while driving, "Maybe you think it's impossible to save you with my title, but this person behind me can save you, don't ask him who he is, just know and tell me when you encounter a crisis!" ”

Li Shang's words blocked all the doubts in Zhang Lin's heart, and he was speechless along the way, and was taken by Li Shang to the hotel where the imperial capital entertained the officials in Beijing! When he got out of the car, Li Shang spoke again: "You live here, no one dares to be unfavorable to you, remember, what to do, don't let people notice anything!" After saying that, he said hello to Zhang Lin and left.

Zhang Lin carefully a large number of this splendid hotel, decoration and carpets are so elegant, the red carpet embroidered with exquisite patterns, from the texture to open, is sewn up by hand, the outside decoration with a magnificent description is not an exaggeration, Zhang Lin gently pushed open the gorgeous door, on both sides stood four tall welcome ladies, to Zhang Lin salute these welcome ladies with a good face, decent manners, it can be seen that after a long period of professional training, and then a person led Zhang Lin into the hall, A group of aristocratic ladies were whispering on the sofa in the hall, and Zhang Lin vaguely heard his name coming out of their mouths.

"Hello, please show your ID?" The waiter at the counter politely asked Zhang Lin to show his ID, Zhang Lin took out his military ID card and gave it to the waiter, the waiter looked at the ID carefully, made a detailed registration, and when he saw Zhang Lin's name, he was very surprised and asked: "Are you Colonel Zhang Lin, the commander of the battleship Edward?" Zhang Lin was a little puzzled, "It's me, is there something wrong?" ”

"No, you put away your documents, I'll get you the key here, your room is on the second floor, and the water pavilion will listen to the incense!" The waiter said respectfully to Zhang Lin!

"Okay, thank you." After Zhang Lin got the room key, he said thank you to the waiter for a lifetime, and when he turned around to go to the room, he suddenly found himself surrounded by a noble lady who was just sitting on the sofa.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you're doing here?" Zhang Lin knew that this noble lady could not be offended, so he asked politely.

"Are you Mr. Zhang Lin, the commander of the Edward?" Several aristocratic ladies asked in unison

"It's me, I don't know ......." Before Zhang Lin finished speaking, several aristocratic ladies surrounded him and pulled Zhang Lin's arm and invited him to go shopping, some invited him to dinner together, and some wanted to sew dresses for Zhang Lin, chattering in Zhang Lin's ear and making noise, leaving behind the aristocratic etiquette that had been strictly taught since childhood!

Zhang Lin couldn't get out, so he had to respond casually, and at this time, a gentle voice sounded in Zhang Lin's ears, "Sisters, don't worry about that Mr. Zhang Lin, there is a party in the Imperial Capital Hotel tonight, why don't you invite Mr. Zhang Lin to go with you?" Outside the group of aristocratic ladies, a gentle, sacred, and classical woman opened her mouth to relieve Zhang Lin, and the group of aristocratic ladies let go of Zhang Lin after hearing it, "Mr. Zhang Lin must go to participate!" ”

After getting Zhang Lin's affirmation, they prepared to go back together, at this time, the girl who relieved Zhang Lin smiled sweetly at Zhang Lin, turned to leave, this smile left Zhang Lin with an impression that he could not forget for the rest of his life, and saw the group of aristocratic ladies leave, Zhang Lin turned around and went upstairs to find his room.
