Chapter 547: The commotion caused by the hot air balloon

"Look, what is that?" A citizen pointed at the hot air balloon in the sky and exclaimed.

The people who heard the sound looked up to the sky one after another, and they all spotted the hot air balloon in the sky.

"Dad, what is that?" the little girl asked the man next to her.

The man looked at the hot air balloon in the sky and started to stutter in shock: "This, this, this is divine."

A little boy not far in front of him jumped up happily when he saw the hot air balloon. He clapped and laughed loudly: "It's flying, it's flying."

The woman next to the boy immediately asked: "Xiaobao, what did you say about flying?"

"Mom, there is a big Kongming Lantern flying in the sky." The little boy pointed at the hot air balloon in the sky and said.

The woman looked along the little boy's fingers and saw the hot air balloon in the sky. She covered her mouth in shock, and soon she opened her mouth with trembling hands.

"Flying into the sky? Is it really incredible?"

"Fairy? It must be a fairy."

"This looks like a big ball."

"What big ball, it must be a god. Can the big ball fly into the sky?"

"No matter what it is, hurry up and catch up and take a look."

""

For a time, the people in Chang'an rushed towards the direction of the hot air balloon. They wanted to see what the hot air balloon was and whether it was a deity descended to earth.

He Mansion.

The housekeeper of He Mansion hurriedly ran into He Jin's room.

"Master, go to heaven every day"

He Jin frowned slightly and said, "He Zhong, why are you shouting? What's going on in the sky? There won't be a locust plague coming, right?"

From what He Jin said, he also knew that the locust plague would appear soon, and Li Er must have asked him to buy a lot of grain.

He Zhong swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "It's not the master, it's not a locust plague, it's a hot air balloon. There is a hot air balloon flying in the sky. It's the young master who succeeded in developing the hot air balloon."

When He Jin heard this, he put down what he was doing and hurriedly ran outside and saw the hot air balloon in the sky.

"There's no way this is the hot air balloon developed by Yong'er and the others." He Jin looked at the hot air balloon in the sky and showed disbelief, "The direction the hot air balloon is flying seems to be the palace.

He Zhong, prepare a fast horse for me. Go to the Military Academy and ask Yong'er if their hot air balloon has been successfully developed."

"Yes, I will go now." Seeing He Jin being so nervous, He Zhong immediately went out to make arrangements.

After a while, He Zhong came to Li Feng again and said, "Master, the horse is ready."

"Okay, come to me if you have any news from Yong'er. I will follow the hot air balloon."

"Yes, sir."

At Wang Li's house, after seeing the hot air balloon, the Wang family also came to report to Mr. Wang. After seeing the hot air balloon, they were very happy at first, but then they felt that something was wrong.

He knew that Wang Li and a group of students were researching hot-air balloons, but they had not yet succeeded. They said that if they wanted to successfully develop a hot-air balloon, they would need at least a month of research. But now it has not been done for ten days. How could the hot-air balloon be successfully developed?

So he made the same decision as He Jin, sending people to the Military Academy to inquire about the situation and chasing the hot air balloon.

He Yong and other 25 students' parents all went to catch the hot air balloon.

"Sir Captain, there is something flying over Chang'an City." said a Zuowuwei soldier.

General Zuo Wuwei said: "Inform all brothers and ask them to chase the flying objects in the sky."

"yes."

The Sixteenth Guards of Chang'an were all dispatched, and they all wanted to chase the hot air balloon.

For a time, the whole of Chang'an was in chaos.

However, soon, someone began to maintain order. They were all from Li Yuanchang of the Han Dynasty.

The defenders of the Sixteenth Guards were also stopped by them.

"What are you doing? Do you know that the flying balls in the sky may be harmful to the Tang Dynasty? Get out of my way." A captain yelled angrily.

"Of course we know what we are doing, but do you know what you are doing?" the official said, "We are here to maintain public order under the orders of the prince. Anyone who wants to pass through here is working against the prince."

"Did you know that the big ball in the sky was flying towards the palace that day? If it causes harm to His Majesty, will you bear the responsibility?"

"What a joke, what big ball? It's called a hot air balloon. It was designed and invented by the Marquis of Lantian. It was a gift to His Majesty. When did it end up hurting His Majesty? Otherwise, why would His Highness let us come out to maintain order? He is just afraid of the common people.

Not knowing why, he was afraid of losing his position, which led to chaos in Chang'an.

Look at how crazy the people are. You are ordered to maintain law and order in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City. Now look at how many people were injured chasing hot air balloons?

Look again, how many people’s finances have been stolen, and how many parents can’t find their children?

Now you are not going to the palace to do meaningless things, but to lead your soldiers, maintain order, and help the people find their lost children and lost finances."

When the school captain heard this, he looked at the people around him, his face darkened, and he said: "Brothers, work."

"yes."

The streets and alleys of Chang'an City suddenly returned to their original state, although I was still very curious as to why a hot air balloon could fly into the sky.

People who lost their money and parents who lost their children also found their children and belongings with the help of officers and soldiers.

Although a few others were not found, they were left to the county government to find.

In the Han Palace, everyone was looking at the sky early in the morning, waiting for hot air balloons to fly over.

I don't know how long I waited, but finally a servant saw the hot air balloon and immediately shouted excitedly: "Yes, yes, something is flying over from the sky."

"Wow, something is really flying in the sky."

"Your Majesty is so amazing. He actually knew something would fly in the sky early in the morning."

""

The chatter among the servants quickly disturbed Li Yuanchang.

Li Yuanchang immediately opened the door and saw the hot air balloon in the sky. A smile appeared on his face. His opportunity had come.

"Come here, prepare your horses, I am going to the Prince's Mansion."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Later, Li Yuanchang led his own soldiers and subordinate guards, a total of two thousand people, to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

At this time, everyone in the East Palace Prince's Mansion also saw the hot air balloon in the sky.

Li Chengqian even waved excitedly to the people on the hot air balloon. He thought the person on the hot air balloon was Li Feng, so he waved to make the hot air balloon fly down, and he also wanted to ride in the hot air balloon.

However, the hot air balloon showed no intention of stopping and continued flying towards the palace.

"Your Highness, it flew to the palace." The person next to Li Chengqian said.

Li Chengqian nodded and said: "Prepare a fast horse for me. I am going to the palace to see my father now."

At this time, a guard came in and said: "Your Highness, the King of Han is here to visit."
