"Childe, can we really take this train into Tokyo City?" Agnes grabbed Zhao Jia's arm, her face was full of excitement and said, seeing her appearance, Zhao Jia was a little speechless, she couldn't understand what the women thought, just now she was scared half to death by the train, and now after hearing that this is just a means of transportation, she was immediately excited to death, and she has asked this question three times after a while.

"Let's go, the train is about to leave, if you don't get on the train, you will have to wait for the next one." Zhao Jia took Agnes's hand and said forward, the train between the port and Tokyo City has just opened, there are two trains running between the city and the port in turn, and there are special carriages for pulling people and goods.

"Great!" When Agnes heard that she could get on the train, she immediately took Zhao Jia's hand and ran to the train, but at this time, Zhao Jia grabbed her, and then pointed to a room surrounded by countless heads next to the train tracks, "This train is not for nothing, if you want to get on the train, you must buy a ticket first." ”

"Huh? So many people! Agnes looked at the crowded room not far away, and said with a look of embarrassment on her face, so many people buy tickets, God knows when?

But as soon as Agnes's words fell, I saw a middle-aged steward suddenly walk out of the back of the house that sold tickets, squeezed through the crowd and trotted in front of Zhao Jia and said respectfully: "Shizi, the No. 3 carriage in front has been vacated, and your luggage has been carried onto the carriage, and the prince and princess are already waiting for you at the station in the city!" ”

"Well, yes, take us in the car!" Zhao Jia said with a light smile on his face, after the train was invented, their family monopolized the manufacture and use of trains, and the construction of the first railway from Beijing to Luoyang was completed. And after the success, the Yue Wangfu began to build some train tracks in various urban areas to speed up the people's understanding of trains and lay the foundation for the construction of longer train tracks in the future.

"Childe, is that person also a servant of your family, why does he call you Shizi instead of Childe. Also, who are the prince and princess? Agnes asked curiously at this time, she had also asked Zhao Jia about some things in her family before, and Zhao Jia told her about other things, but Zhao Jia did not elaborate on her father's identity, so although Agnes knew that Zhao Jia must also be a nobleman of the Great Song Dynasty, she did not know that he was a royal family.

"Let's talk about it in the car!" Zhao Jia didn't deliberately want to hide from Agnes, but his family background was too prominent, if he told Agnes directly. There was always a feeling of boasting, so he didn't say it explicitly, but now that he was in the capital, Agnes would know sooner or later, so it was better to tell her so that she could be prepared.

The news of Zhao Jia's arrival had already been reported back to the capital, so Zhao Yan had already arranged it on the way, for example, there was a special empty carriage on this train, and Zhao Jia and Agnes sat in front of the window. His bodyguards and the men of Vrus sat in the back, and the European knights of Varus were very wary of the train support. Because they were the same as Agnes, they all thought that this was the evil dragon of the Great Song Dynasty before, even after listening to other people's explanations, they still didn't dare to relax their vigilance, and they all held their weapons tightly when they got into the car, ready to protect Agnes at any time, which made Zhao Jia's guards laugh.

Just sat down on the train. Agnes repeated the previous question, and Zhao Jia had no choice but to explain: "Agnes, you are the princess of the Holy Roman Empire, but my identity is not ordinary, my father is the prince of the Great Song Dynasty. And I am my father's eldest son, and I will inherit my father's throne in the future, so I am also called the son! ”

Hearing Zhao Jia's words, Agnes couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, covering her mouth with her little hands for a long time and not being able to speak, although she had long known that Zhao Jia was a nobleman, she never expected Zhao Jia's identity to be so prominent, the Great Song Dynasty and the Holy Roman Empire, the most honorable title is the emperor, and under the emperor is the king, in Europe can be called the king, all of them are the overlords of the dominant side, although the situation on the side of the Great Song Dynasty is different, but it must not be much different.

Seeing Agnes's surprised look, Zhao Jia also smiled a little embarrassed, which also made Agnes finally wake up from the shock, and then suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "I remember, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is surnamed Zhao, and you are also surnamed Zhao, are you a member of the royal family?" ”

"Yes, my grandfather is the fifth emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the sixth and last emperor is my great uncle, the current emperor is named Zhao Xu, he is my cousin, but he is still a twelve-year-old child, and he is now studying with my father." Zhao Jia replied again.

Hearing Zhao Jia's illustrious family background, Agnes was shocked again, although her background is also very prominent, but she is now just a princess on the run, and she has no influence at all, but Zhao Jia is different, his family rules this extremely powerful Great Song Empire, and according to her understanding along the way, the territory ruled by the Great Song Dynasty is almost equivalent to the area of the entire Europe, and the population is dozens of times that of the Holy Roman Empire, such a powerful empire, even if she can inherit the throne of the Holy Roman Empire, When facing the Great Song Dynasty, you should also bow your head humbly.

After a long while, Agnes finally came to her senses from the shock, and then after a while, she spoke: "Childe, when I was in Nanyang before, I often heard others mention the Yue King of the Great Song Dynasty, and many people privately called him the King of Nanyang, and it is said that the entire Nanyang is under his control, who are you the Yue King?" ”

"Huh? He was my father. Zhao Jia said a little helplessly, his father's prestige in Nanyang is absolutely unparalleled, and his name is often mentioned, and even when some natives swear and curse, they will say that if they don't keep their oath, they will let me be spurned by King Yue, so it is normal for Agnes to hear his father's name.

Hearing that the famous King of Yue in Nanyang was Zhao Jia's father, Agnes felt a little speechless again, she may not know about other princes of the Great Song Dynasty, but during the time she stayed in Nanyang Port and Guangzhou, she had heard a lot about the deeds of Zhao Yan, the king of Yue, for example, she not only knew that Nanyang was single-handedly defeated by Zhao Yan, but also that this King of Yue was also a knowledgeable scholar who made great changes to the education of the Great Song Dynasty. His students alone are all over the world, and the other party is also a great inventor, such as the soap she used, the artillery in the Great Song Navy, etc., all from the other party's hands, and I even heard that he also invented a hot air balloon that can fly. can fly into the sky with people, but she has only been in Da Song for a short time and has not seen it with her own eyes.

"Agnes, why don't you speak?" Zhao Jia looked at Agnes in a daze and asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking that my bad luck is finally over, I just met a noble person like Gongzi when I arrived in Da Song, and I don't have to worry about being bullied in Da Song in the future." Agnes said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

Hearing Agnes say this, Zhao Jia also laughed, and then the train suddenly shook. Then began to move slowly, but this made Agnes scream in fright, and grabbed Zhao Jia's arm tightly, until the speed of the train slowly increased, she let go a little embarrassed, but Zhao Jia just laughed, and then comforted her a few words and began to look at the scenery outside the window.

After a long while, Agnes suddenly spoke, "Childe." Can you tell me a little bit about why this train runs on its own? In addition, the steamship without sails we saw on the river just now, does it have anything to do with the train? ”

Hear Agnes' words. Zhao Jia turned his head to look at the other party, and found that Agnes was really looking at him with a curious baby again, which made people really can't bear to refuse, which made Zhao Jia have to explain: "The train is also called a steam locomotive, and it is the same as the steam ship they saw just now, it is driven by a steam engine. As for the principle of the steam engine, it is somewhat complicated, in simple terms, it is to boil water into steam with fire, and then use the steam to drive the machine, which produces huge power, whether it is a train or a steam ship. They are all powered by the power generated by steam. ”

"The power of steam? I seem to get it! When Agnes said this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she eagerly grabbed Zhao Jia's arm again and said, "Childe, I once read in a book that about a thousand years ago, there was a great scholar in ancient Greece in our west, who made a steam-powered steam ball, which is also driven by the power of steam, and it should be the same as your steam engine. ”

"Steam Ball? This is the first time I've heard of it, do you know how it is structured? Zhao Jia was also quite interested when he heard this.

"You know, in fact, its structure is very simple, that is, there is a sealed pot below, and then a metal ball is connected with a tube, and two outlets are opened on the ball, and when the pot below is heated, the steam is sprayed out from these two outlets, so as to drive the ball to rotate quickly." Agnes said excitedly, since she came to the Great Song Dynasty, she found that the Great Song Dynasty was almost ahead of Europe in all aspects, which made her feel a sense of frustration, especially after seeing the steam engine, which made her even more shocked by the technology of the Great Song Dynasty, but she didn't expect that the principle of the original steam engine had already been discovered in Europe.

After listening to Agnes's description of the steam ball, Zhao Jia couldn't help but nod and said: "Yes, the principle of this steam ball is actually the same as the steam engine, and even in a broad sense, it also belongs to a kind of steam engine, but this kind of steam ball can only be used as a toy, without any practicability, my cousin knew the principle of the steam engine from my father, but in order to put the principle into practice, it took him seven or eight years to study it successfully." ”

"Ah, I didn't expect that the steam engine was also proposed by King Yue, Childe, can you tell me about your father, I have heard many legends about him in Nanyang, and many of them say that King Yue is erudite and talented, and there are almost nothing in the world that he does not know." When Agnes heard that even the steam engine was brought up by Zhao Yan, she couldn't help but ask again, with her curious nature, she naturally wouldn't let go of asking Zhao Jia about his father.

"My father ......" Hearing Agnes ask about his father, Zhao Jia also showed a look of longing on his face, he also missed his parents very much in the past two years after leaving home, but the thought of seeing them soon made Zhao Jia also very excited.

Finally waited for Zhao Jia to wake up from his thoughts, and then was about to tell Agnes about his father's legendary deeds, but suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the window of the train, and then saw a red horse galloping outside the window, when the rider on the horse saw Zhao Jia in the window, he immediately slowed down the horse and shouted excitedly: "Brother ~ brother ~, look here!" ”

Hearing the familiar voice outside, Zhao Jia couldn't help but turn his head to look, only to see that on the jujube red horse outside, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in a red suit was waving her hand at him, Ruyu's little face was full of excitement, and Zhao Jia saw that the girl on the horse also stood up excitedly, opened the window and shouted: "Fifth sister, why are you here?" ”

The girl riding a horse outside is named Zhao Sixin, the daughter of Zhao Yan and Yan Yuru, the fifth in the family, only thirteen years old this year, she inherited her mother's beauty, but her temperament is extremely hot, this should be influenced by Zhao Yan's third sister Princess Wei Guochang, in fact, Princess Wei Guo does like this niece very much, and often takes her home to accompany herself, as a result, this makes Sixin's temperament seem to be carved out of a mold with her, usually very nosy, many gentlemen in the capital mention the county lord of Sixin, All of them have a headache, and they can't afford to provoke them, so as long as there is a place where Sixin is, the gentlemen in the capital have always been as far as they can get.

"Giggle~, didn't you already let people inform the family that they were coming back today, daddy and they were all waiting in the station in the city, I wanted to see the eldest brother early, so I came by myself!" Zhao Sixin said with a smile, although she was naughty, she had the best relationship with Zhao Jia, Zhao Jia used to be the head of the children of the nobles in the capital, and Sixin was a troublemaker since he was a child, so he didn't fight with other nobles because of Sixin's affairs.

After Zhao Sixin finished saying the above words, he suddenly controlled his horse with his legs to approach the train, and then reached out to grab Zhao Jia's window, and his feet got into the carriage very neatly on the saddle, although Zhao Jia knew that the speed of the train was not fast, and he would not be hurt at all if he got into the window with Sixin's skills, but he still couldn't help but reprimand her loudly, but unfortunately Sixin just grinned, and didn't take it to heart at all, but drilled into Zhao Jia's arms one by one, and the two little hands were still groping around on him looking for gifts.

Zhao Jia finally opened Si Xin's little hand, and then reprimanded: "Such a big girl, why is she still so hairy, she doesn't pay attention to her image at all, if she lets her aunt see it, she will definitely scold you again." ”

"Hee-hee, I'm not afraid!" Si Xin didn't care at all, and then she finally saw Agnes sitting next to Zhao Jia, as if she had seen a novel toy, her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "Are you the Roman princess who was bought by my eldest brother, you look so strange, but you have to be careful, although your father will not embarrass you, but the eldest lady is not easy to pass!" (To be continued.) )
