When the train arrived in Tai'an, Zhao Qi and Zhao Xin got off the carriage together. Originally, Zhao Xin was going to take a boat in Dengzhou, but since he met Zhao Qi, he naturally had to linger for a few more days. Anyway, it was not a very rush to go to Japan. In addition, he had never been to Mount Tai, so he could take advantage of this opportunity to see it.

Zhao Qi did not express any special expression about Zhao Xin staying. Of course, he also showed great enthusiasm on the surface, and he also took time to accompany Zhao Xin to climb Mount Tai, and kept helping Zhao Xin introduce the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai. Although it was his first time to come to Mount Tai, he made a lot of preparations in advance, so he knew all the best of Mount Tai and the surrounding situation.

After eating the famous Taishan pancakes for a few days and tasting the most famous tofu banquet in Taishan, Zhao Xin also left. After all, he had his own things to do. In response, Zhao Qi also said that he could get together again when he had time, so Zhao Xin finally reluctantly boarded the train.

Dengzhou is not too far from Mount Tai. It only takes half a day to get there by train. This is the most prosperous port in the north of the Song Dynasty. None of them, because many southern transport ships will dock here and then carry the goods on the train to the inland north. It can be said that this is a transportation hub for sea transportation from north to south. Therefore, when Zhao Xin arrived here, he saw a bustling scene. The prosperous scene in the city can almost be compared with Tokyo.

After arriving in Dengzhou, people from the Imperial City Department immediately came to contact Zhao Xin and arranged for him to come to the military port next to Dengzhou Port. At this time, a fleet was already waiting for him in the military port. When he saw the general leading the fleet, he couldn't help but scream in surprise: "Brother Cheng, why is it you?"

"Haha~, I knew it would scare you. Is it a feeling of ecstasy?" The young general in his twenties shouted at this time, with a cynical smile on his face, and he didn't look like a general who commanded the navy no matter how he looked.

The young general was named Li Cheng, who was Zhao Xin's eldest brother Zhao Jia's best friend when he was in the military academy. Li Cheng was also from a general. Although their Li family was not as prominent as the Cao Gao family, they were also famous generals. Moreover, Li Cheng was very talented in military affairs. After graduation with Zhao Jia, he joined the Nanyang Fleet to fight everywhere. He soon became promoted to the commander of a fleet and was also the youngest fleet commander in the navy. He was known as the future commander of the Song Dynasty. This time, Zhao Xin went to Japan and was assisted by Li Cheng.

"Haha~. I was really shocked. I haven't seen you Brother Cheng for several years, but I often heard your name. The name of the future Navy Commander of the Song Dynasty has been spread throughout the capital. I heard that all the generals in the capital regard you Brother Cheng as an idol!" Zhao Xin also laughed at this time. Li Cheng was a friend of his elder brother Zhao Jia. He used to go to the Yue Palace to play, so he was very familiar with their brothers. Now that he can meet his old friends here, he naturally feels like meeting old friends in other places.

"What a bullshit future commander. Now the superiors are almost pissed off by me, otherwise I wouldn't have transferred me from the South China Fleet to the North China Fleet!" Li Cheng waved his hand indifferently. He didn't care about the title of the future commander. Even if his family hadn't been forcing him, he might have gone to Zhao Jia in Europe to soak up those blonde beauties.

"Uh? Brother Cheng, what trouble did you cause? He actually made his superiors so angry?" Zhao Xin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He knew Li Cheng's personality and knew that although this brother was very talented in military affairs, he was very willful and perverted. He could do anything when he got up, and it was even more common to cause trouble.

Here we need to explain. After several reforms, the Navy of the Song Dynasty was mainly divided into three fleets. The North Sea Fleet mainly defended the offshores of the Song Dynasty, and there were also the South Ocean Fleet and the Expeditionary Fleet. The South Ocean Fleet was mainly responsible for the offensive and defense of the South Ocean area, while the Expeditionary Fleet was newly established, mainly responsible for the strategy of the Song Dynasty and India, Africa, Europe and other places. Because the responsibilities of the three fleets were different, the strength was different. Among them, the North Sea Fleet was only responsible for defense, so the strength was not strong and there were few opportunities to make meritorious contributions. In comparison, the South Ocean Fleet and the Expeditionary Fleet were strong and had many opportunities to make meritorious contributions. The generals of these two fleets were naturally promoted quickly. Li Cheng was actually transferred from the South Ocean Fleet to the North Sea Fleet, which must have caused trouble and was demoted.

"What does it mean to cause trouble? I just fell in love with the daughter of a chief in Nanyang, and then accidentally got the crystallization of love. As a result, the eldest daughter of the other party went crazy and insisted on fighting with us to the death, which caused a small trouble." Li Cheng said lightly at this time.

Zhao Xin was a little ashamed when he heard this. With his understanding of Li Cheng, he probably only did this kind of thing. Speaking of which, Li Cheng is lustful. He had long been known for being romantic in the capital, and later he showed mercy when he became an adult. Moreover, this guy is not a merry person, and even the natives in Nanyang can slap. It is said that he has more than 100 women in his family, including black and white, of all races, which makes people not convinced. Thinking of this lustful guy who wants to go to Japan with him, Zhao Xin couldn't help but worry.

"Brother Cheng, last time my elder brother wrote to me that Brother Yang seems to have gone to Europe, and I heard that there are many beauties over there, why don't you go there?" However, Zhao Xin is also a young man, and soon said in a joke. Brother Yang he mentioned was another friend of Zhao Jia. Some time ago, Yang Shiliang also went to Europe to help Zhao Jia stabilize the situation there.

When Zhao Xin mentioned this, Li Cheng immediately showed an angry expression and said, "Do you think I don't want to go to Europe? Not only your brother's territory, but also all of them are blonde and blue-eyed beauties. I dreamed of going there. Brother Shiliang and I had already agreed to go to Europe, but my father knew about this. As a result, he said that I have a great future in the Nanyang Fleet. If I go to the Expeditionary Fleet, I will start over again, so I have to force me to stay. And he also said that if I dare to go to the Expeditionary Fleet, he would drive me out of my house and refuse to recognize my son. In addition, my mother ran to my place and cried for several days. How could I go to Europe?"

When Li Cheng said it at the end, he also showed a helpless expression on his face. Although he was lustful, he was actually a filial son, so he couldn't bear to refuse his parents' request, so he could only stay. However, his lustful personality still caused a big disaster, almost causing a powerful chief in Nanyang to go to war with the Song Dynasty, and for this reason he was demoted to the North Sea Fleet.
