My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

"Wait a minute! What will happen to my hotel if we go?"

Chen Mo, who was driving, suddenly asked.

"What if Empress Ma and Empress Zhangsun are discharged from the hospital and find no one there?"

"That makes sense..."

Old Zhu nodded.

"You can close your hotel if you want, but you can't let my girl suffer!"

Old Zhu pondered for a moment, looked at Zhu Biao, and then shook his head.

"Biao'er has gone back to oversee the country and can't stay here to look after the shop. How about you take over, Gao Xu?"

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu shook his head repeatedly.

"I want to try out that kind of 'rat-a-tat-tat' weapon Dad talked about!"

"What should we do then?"

Old Zhu snorted coldly.

"Let me do it!"

Li Lizhi and Li Chengqian spoke at the same time.

The two exchanged a glance, and Li Lizhi spoke first.

"I'll stay! I can take care of my older brother and Sizi, and I can also take care of my mother and aunt as soon as they are discharged from the hospital."

"May I?"

Chen Mo was somewhat worried.

Li Lizhi smiled slightly and nodded.

"Having lived in the shop for some time, I've become familiar with the daily routines and can handle things like cleaning rooms and answering the phone."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiao Sizi.

"And the rhinoceros will help too."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Sizi tugged at Li Lizhi's skirt with her little hand, looked at Chen Mo and the others with longing eyes, and whispered.

"Sister, Sizi wants to go with Little Sangjun and the others..."

Li Lizhi squatted down and said softly.

"Sizi is still too young. How about we go when she's older?"

"But Sizi also wants to ride in a big airplane... and also wants to ride the high-speed rail..."

Little Sizi muttered softly, but his voice was very low.

Seeing this, Chen Mo also squatted down and gently stroked Si Zi's soft hair.

"When we get back, Little Nangjun will take you out to play. You can ride whatever you want!"

"High-speed rail...airplane, I'll take you on both!"

"Really?"

"real!"

"So, can the big Kaka I saw last time sit there too?"

Chen Mo pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Che.

Liu Che chuckled.

"When the time comes, I'll take you to the Han Dynasty! I'll drive myself! Let's see who dares to stop us!"

The little ox pouted, but still nodded obediently.

"Then...then the little cyst needs to hurry up."

"Of course, a pinky promise is a promise for life!"

Little Sizi nodded and held up his finger.

"Pinky promise, a hundred years from now."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he pressed his thumb against Xiao Sizi's.

"Alright, it's stamped. When Little Saccharomyces returns, I'll definitely take Sizi on an airplane ride."

Xiao Sizi finally let go, satisfied, and ran to Li Lizhi's side.

Chen Mo stood up and gave Li Lizhi his final instructions.

"I've written the location of the main water, electricity, and gas valves on the last page of the manual. Just in case there's any problem..."

"Lizhi understands."

Li Lizhi nodded.

"Go ahead with peace of mind, shopkeeper."

"Alright then! The hotel is yours to keep!"

Chen Mo handed the hotel key to Li Lizhi and told her how to check the surveillance footage...

After giving all the instructions, Chen Mo turned around, took a deep breath, and waved to the emperors who were already waiting at the door.

"Let's go."

It's that Wuling Hongguang again.

You know what, other cars probably wouldn't be able to fit so many people.

After a half-hour drive, they arrived at the high-speed rail station.

"This is the high-speed rail station? It doesn't look particularly special!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"This is just a small city. Larger high-speed rail stations are much bigger. Hurry up, we'll be checking tickets soon."

After passing through security, the group headed straight for the ticket gate.

The automatic turnstiles were lined up, and passengers placed their ID cards in the sensor area in an orderly manner.

A beep sounded, the gate opened, and we passed through.

The whole process took only two or three seconds.

"This is... a mechanism door?"

Ying Zheng narrowed his eyes, a glint of shrewdness in them.

"Pretty much," Chen Mo explained. "Scan your ID card, the system verifies the ticket information, and once it's confirmed to be correct, they'll open the door and let you in."

He demonstrated it once. The ID card was pasted on.

"Beep—", the gate opened in response.

After Chen Mo passed through, the gate closed quickly and tightly.

"Who wants to go first?"

Chen Mo stood inside the turnstile and waved.

Zhu Di was the first to step forward, imitating Chen Mo by placing his ID card flat in the sensor area.

"Beep—"

The green light came on, and the gate opened.

Then, Zhu Di tentatively took a step forward, keeping the gate open. Only after he had completely passed through did it close behind him with a "click".

"wonderful!"

A look of surprise flashed in Zhu Di's eyes.

"Brilliant!"

"Look at you, so naive and unsophisticated! Don't ever say you're from the Zhu family again!"

Old Zhu swiped his ID card and muttered a curse under his breath, but his eyes were also filled with astonishment.

After passing through, Ying Zheng turned back and stared at the turnstile for a few seconds, seemingly lost in thought.

"This item serves as an identification token, opening and closing swiftly. Ideal for use in government office access control, treasury security..."

Zhu Gaoxu's experience was somewhat tumultuous.

He was impatient; as soon as he put his ID card on the plate, before the "beep" had even finished ringing, he rushed forward.

As a result, the gate couldn't react in time, and half of his body got stuck.

"Ouch!"

Zhu Gaoxu was gently squeezed between the two gates. It didn't hurt, but seeing everyone around him looking over, he felt extremely embarrassed.

In modern terms, it would be like the society is dead.

"What is this thing?!"

Zhu Gaoxu cursed, then looked up at Zhu Di.

"Father...look..."

Zhu Di covered his face and walked outside without saying a word.

"Dad! Don't go! Help me!"

Zhu Gaoxu's voice sounded behind him.

His voice was loud enough for everyone around him to hear clearly, and they glanced at Zhu Di, who was covering his face.

Zhu Di remained silent for a moment.

"Don't look at me, he's not my son!"

"Don't move!" Chen Mo quickly stepped forward. "Take a little back!"

Zhu Gaoxu stepped back, and the gate opened.

He stood up again and patiently waited for the green light to turn completely on and the gate to open before stepping through.

"This thing is a bit slow to react."

Zhu Gaoxu complained.

"You were too hasty..."

Chen Mo whispered.

"What's the rush! It's just that this thing is too slow!"

Seeing that Zhu Di was walking quickly, Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly followed.

"Father... wait for me!"

The group arrived at the platform.

Then, they saw the high-speed train lying quietly on the tracks.

The silver-white, streamlined body of the vehicle gleamed with a cold, metallic sheen under the station lights.

The carriages are connected one after another, like a sleeping steel dragon.

The emperors who were just discussing security gates suddenly fell silent.

Liu Che opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He walked a few steps along the edge of the platform, looked up at the side of the train, and reached out his hand—but didn't dare to touch it, just left it hanging in the air.

"This...this is a whole car?"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked around the front of the carriage.

The front of the high-speed train has a beautiful bullet-shaped design, so smooth that it reflects a person's image.

He stared at the red "CRH" logo on the front of the car, then looked down at the complex bogies, brake discs, and sensors, becoming more and more impressed.

"How does this thing turn?"

"There are tracks underneath, but don't ask me how they rotate, I don't know either."

As Chen Mo was speaking, the broadcast started.

"Train G1023 is about to depart. Passengers, please hurry..."

Chen Mo glanced at the license plate number and quickly called out to the group.

"Don't fucking delay, or the car doors will close."
