Since there was no way to remove his hand, Han Du looked at Tao Chengdao who was still unconscious at the bottom of the hanging basket and had no choice but to wrap his robe around him with his feet.
Perhaps under the light of the flames, Tao Chengdao's body felt a little warm. Tao Chengdao, who was imprinted in Han Du's pupils, seemed to have less water droplets on his face, but there was still no sign of waking up.
"Just to take a look at the scene in the sky, you won't flinch even if you risk your life. Why bother?" Han Du murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly, maybe he was lamenting Tao Chengdao's stupidity?
I still feel worthless for him.
But now Han Du has no time to care about Tao Chengdao, and all his energy is focused on the hot air balloon. Han Du not only has to control the falling speed of the hot air balloon, but also takes into account how much fuel is left.
As for where the hot air balloon was blown by the wind, Han Du couldn't care anymore. As long as it could return to the ground safely, the top priority was now, and everything else didn't matter.
Jiang Wei led a group of cavalry out of the campus and chased the hot air balloon in the direction of the flight. Obviously he saw that the hot air balloon was not moving very fast, but what he couldn't understand was that no matter how fast he drove, he still chased the hot air balloon.
If you don’t get on the hot air balloon, you will tend to get further and further away from the hot air balloon.
Later, the hot air balloon even flew directly into the clouds and disappeared.
"Sir, I'm missing, what should we do?"
The subordinate's words made Jiang Wei very angry, but now was not the time to have an argument with him.
He had no choice but to hit the horse hard on the butt with the riding crop and shouted: "Chase, keep chasing!"
But without a target, it is most likely to make the pursuer slack off. After chasing for a while, he still found nothing. Jiang Wei himself involuntarily slowed down until he stopped where he was, looking blankly at the sky around him, hoping to find some trace.
.
But no matter how painful his eyes were, he still didn't see anything.
Just when Jiang Wei lowered his head and gave up, the subordinate suddenly shouted: "Look, sir, over there!"
Jiang Wei looked in the direction of his subordinate's finger, and sure enough he saw the slowly falling hot air balloon. He laughed happily and said, "You are really our lucky general. Hurry, chase after it."
The group of people whipped their horses and continued to chase the hot air balloon.
Han Du looked at the ground getting closer and closer and that there was still a lot of fuel left, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
People on the ground didn't notice what was happening in the sky at first, but when someone looked up and saw the huge hot air balloon, they immediately screamed in surprise.
In an instant, countless people put down their work and looked up to see a huge thing falling towards their heads like a mountain.
"Ah" the people at the landing point of the hot air balloon were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Who is so bold? He even dares to break in here."
Han Du finally added some firepower and made the hot air balloon rush in the opposite direction, completely eliminating the falling speed before falling smoothly to the ground.
As soon as the hanging basket touched the ground, Han Du immediately shut down the flame completely and extinguished it. Faced with the shouts of people outside, Han Du didn't care at all.
With difficulty, he stretched out his frozen hands, grabbed the edge of the hanging basket, and struggled to move himself out.
People on the ground watched the behemoth fall quietly, and none of them dared to rush up. Even the person who shouted just now was holding a long knife against the hanging basket, but did not dare to rush up.
A pale, bloodless hand suddenly appeared on the edge of the hanging basket, startling everyone and taking a big step back.
After Handu Handu struggled and rolled out of the hanging basket, the man who had just shouted suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, and the long knife in his hand quietly fell to the ground.
"Master Hou!"
This man was as strong as a man, with muscles all over his body. He rushed forward with a few quick steps, and quickly helped Han Du up from the ground. Han Du was wet all over, as if he had fallen into the water. Just now
Upon contact, the strong man felt as if he were holding a piece of ice, which was biting to the bone.
Han Du trembled and tried to open his eyes. He didn't recognize the person in front of him. However, Han Du didn't care too much. He stretched out his finger and pointed into the hanging basket, and uttered two words with difficulty, "Save,
Save people"
The strong man suddenly moved towards the hanging basket
After taking a look, I realized that there was an unknown person inside. He quickly shouted to the others, "Come here to save people. Go and find Lao Tan."
Han Du's mind was still clear and he uttered another word, "fire"
The strong man had a clever mind. Hearing this, he immediately shouted: "Fire, fire, fire, quickly carry the Marquis and this man over and let them warm themselves by the fire."
Under the command of the strong man, everyone carried Han Du and Tao Chengdao to the stove. Since all coal stoves were used here, there was no way for the two of them to warm themselves up.
The strong man took out the burning briquettes from the coal stove, placed them all on the ground, and piled some pebbles next to the briquettes.
A puff of hot air enveloped him, and Han Du suddenly felt that his life was beginning to flourish again. He was now able to squat on the ground without anyone's support.
"Uh-huh" Han Du Leng's teeth chattered up and down uncontrollably.
Seeing that Han Du was getting better, the strong man smiled and asked softly: "What's wrong with Mr. Marquis? Why did he come out of that thing and still be so cold?"
Although it is not the scorching summer season, the weather is still a bit hot. In such weather, the strong man wonders how the Marquis could be so cold.
"Thank you for saving me. May I ask who you are?" Han Du was extremely clear-headed, but he couldn't control his words and fights, and could only speak two or two words.
The strong man hurriedly bowed his hands and replied: "The little man Hou Bing does not deserve the great gift from the Marquis. This is a coal mine. When the little man was guarding here, I was lucky enough to meet the Marquis."
Han Du turned around and glanced around, and then realized that he had landed in a coal mine. It was lucky that he had landed here. If he had fallen in the wilderness, Han Du himself would not have been sure that he would survive.
At this moment, the doctor named Lao Tan, whom Hou Bing mentioned, finally arrived.
I saw a wooden box hanging on Lao Tan's shoulder. He walked over and saw that Tao Chengdao was in critical condition. He quickly ordered the people around him: "Quickly, take off all his clothes and wipe him dry with a dry cloth."
, and bring some more quilts."
Han Du breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This doctor is a capable doctor, not a quack.
Everyone was obviously very familiar with the doctor and obeyed his orders. Immediately, some people went to get dry cloths, some got quilts, and some took off all the wet clothes on Tao Chengdao.
The quilt was spread on the ground, and everyone lifted Tao Chengdao, who had dried himself, onto the quilt, heated the quilt and covered him.
Han Du took off all his clothes, dried them with Hou Bing's help, and put on dry clothes again. He felt better immediately, but he still felt cold, but he no longer shivered. He worked hard to walk
Tao Chengdao was beside him and asked the doctor, "How is he doing?"
The doctor was naturally annoyed that someone was disturbing him while he was treating illnesses and rescuing people, but he was not blind. Just by taking off the robe from Tao Chengdao, he could see that it was not an ordinary brocade robe at all, but a marquis' robe.
.
A marquis was on the verge of life and death, and he was actually frozen in this weather. Such a strange scene couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.
"Back to the noble man, if he were in his prime like the noble man, he could almost be saved. But after all, he is too old, and his condition is much more serious than the noble man. Whether he can be saved, the villain is not sure.
."
Han Du nodded when he heard this, and did not blame the doctor, but said, "Treat him with all your strength, do your best, I don't blame you."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Marquis. Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will try my best." Lao Tan, the doctor, quickly handed over his hand and replied.
"Go quickly." Han Du nodded and urged.
The doctor immediately turned around and began to direct everyone to treat Tao Chengdao as if there was no one around. Medicine and stone were almost useless for a frozen person. The most important thing now was to restore the temperature of Tao Chengdao's body as quickly as possible.
At this moment, a sound of horseshoes clattering came over.
Jiang Wei ran all the way and finally found this place.
When people in the mine see someone rudely rushing in, they immediately stand up and stop him.
Jiang Wei had a ferocious look on his face, brandished his knife and shouted: "The Yiluan Division is doing its work, and anyone who blocks it will die!"
Yiluansi!
The people in the mine were frightened for a while, and they quickly dispersed to both sides, allowing Jiang Yu and others to drive straight in. Ordinary people may not know what Yiluan Division is about, but this mine is a royal property, and the managers are all
People in the Imperial Mansion naturally knew about Yi Luan Si's prestigious reputation in the palace.
Han Du stood up and went to hear the sound, only to see Jiang Yu riding his horse directly in front of him.
Jiang Wei turned over and dismounted, quickly went up to Han Du and asked with concern: "Master Hou, are you okay?"
Han Du shook his head and said: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern. I am fine. However, there is something wrong with Wanhu."
As he said that, he gestured towards Tao Chengdao.
Jiang Wei glanced in the direction indicated by Han Du and suddenly said in shock: "What's going on with Wanhu?"
Han Du tightened his tight clothes and said: "I was frozen and passed out. I still haven't woken up yet, and I don't know if I can wake up."
"So serious? Where did Mr. Hou and Wan Hu go? How could they be frozen?" Jiang Yingming knew that Han Du had flown into the sky, but he still asked curiously. In fact, he also wanted to know, what happened to Han Du and Wan Hu?
The door was frozen, maybe something happened in the sky.
Han Du had no intention of explaining this to Jiang Yu now. He just said, "The higher you go, the colder it gets. How come you won't freeze to death?" and sent him away.
Seeing that Han Du had no intention of elaborating, Jiang Wei did not dare to ask more questions, so he said: "In that case, I will report to the emperor now, hoping that the emperor can send an imperial doctor to treat Wanhu."
Han Du nodded and ignored Jiang Yu. He walked to Tao Chengdao again and looked at him with worried eyes.
Jiang Wei quickly got on his horse and rode away.
After doctor Lao Tan continued to direct everyone to keep Tao Chengdao warm, with the efforts of more than a dozen people, although Tao Chengdao had not yet woken up, his face faded away from the pale color and regained its color. His pulse and breathing also improved.
Much more stable.
When it was getting dark, Jiang Yu finally came with three imperial doctors. Along with them were Zhu Biao and An Qing, who looked worried.
But Lao Zhu did not come. First of all, Lao Zhu himself was too old to bear the torment of a fast horse. Even if he wanted to come, he could only ride in a royal chariot. Such a long distance, waiting for him to come in a royal chariot
, I'm afraid it's already dark. Rather than delaying the imperial doctor's arrival to treat Tao Chengdao, he might as well go back to the palace and wait.
Secondly, today in full view of the public, someone in the Ming Dynasty successfully achieved flying. It was a time when the people were inexplicably excited. In this situation, it was chaotic and complicated, and anything could happen. It would be better for him to stay in the palace.
.
As soon as Zhu Biao got off his horse, he rushed up and asked, "How are you? How is Wanhu?"
Han Du raised his head and gave An Qing a reassuring look, and said: "I'm fine, but Wanhu is fine. Although he's much better now than when he started, he hasn't woken up yet. What's going on needs to be seen by the imperial doctor.
Know."
When Zhu Biao heard that Han Du was fine, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard that Tao Chengdao had fallen into a coma and had not yet woken up, he immediately said to the three imperial doctors: "Quick, try your best to treat Wanhu."
Three imperial doctors quickly stepped forward to take Tao Chengdao's pulse and check his injuries.
At this time, Han Du took a step forward, took An Qing's hand and said, "Why do I let you come?"
An Qing immediately waved his hand and wanted to hit Han Du, but suddenly thought that he was not recovered yet, so he put his hand down again. Looking at Han Du with tears in his eyes, he said: "Why do you do things without regard to the consequences? You are scared to death.
I'm dead, do you know?"
Zhu Biao glanced at the three imperial doctors who were busy, and after listening to An Qing's words, he turned around and said to Han Du with a stern face: "Why don't you take things seriously? Now that things are like this, if something happens to ten thousand households,
How can I explain to my father?"
Zhu Biao, the brother-in-law, also
That's good. Although he opened his mouth to reprimand Han Du on the surface, he was actually taking the responsibility. When Tao Cheng revealed the matter, he explained it to his father, but did not let Han Du explain it. This is proof.
Upon hearing this, Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao and An Qing in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Do you think it's me who wants to fly so high?"
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Han Du could only explain with a wry smile: "I originally just wanted to fly a little higher and stay in the air longer, but I never thought about flying into the sky."
"What on earth is going on?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but asked in surprise.
Han Du helplessly pointed at Tao Chengdao, who was still unconscious, and said, "Wanhu wanted to see what was in the sky, so he insisted on flying to the sky."
Zhu Biao suddenly thought of something, frowned and said: "Wanhu wants to go up, and you just let him go up? Don't you know how to stop him?"
"I wanted to stop him. But he said that if I stopped him, he would jump down from the top. How could I stop him?" Han Du was also depressed, looking at Zhu Biao helplessly with his hands spread out.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he sighed heavily and said nothing. He believed that Han Du would not lie to him about such a thing, and it was even more impossible for Han Du to put the blame on Tao Chengdao. Based on Zhu Biao's understanding of Han Du,
Han Du is not this kind of person at all.
On the contrary, Tao Chengdao is completely capable of doing such a thing. After all, his obsession with flying is well known to everyone. For flying, he can even think of the idea of riding a rocket to fly. There is nothing he can't do.
of?
As for such a trivial matter as threatening Han Du with his life, it was even more trivial to Tao Chengdao.
After several imperial doctors carefully examined Tao Chengdao, they discussed it, and then the leading imperial doctor reported to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, although Wanhu was severely frozen, he was treated in time and handled very well.
Okay, now his life is not serious. He just needs some good care and he should wake up."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately felt relieved. Before he came, he was most worried about Han Du and Tao Chengdao. After he came, he found that Han Du was fine, which made Zhu Biao half of his worries go away. Now that he heard such good news,
Zhu Biao finally felt relieved.
He looked up and asked seriously: "Who treated Wanhu?"
When Hou Bing, who had been following Han Du, heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered in Han Du's ear: "Master Hou, is that Wan Hu?"
"Yeah, why, you know?" Han Du looked back at Hou Bing curiously, a little surprised that he was so well-informed. You know, Tao Chengdao has always been reclusive, let alone an ordinary person, even Han Du
Du, I had never heard of his name at first.
But how could Hou Bing, a young man, know that?
Hou Bing nodded and whispered: "I heard it from my father. I heard that Wanhu was a master craftsman in making firearms in the Ming Dynasty. He made countless firearms for the Ming Dynasty. When my father was in the Ming army, he was a firearms soldier.
, I am most respectful to Wanhu. Every time my father mentions Wanhu, his face is full of respect."
"Oh? Your father has met Wanhu?" Han Du asked curiously.
Hou Bing shook his head and said, "We also asked this question, but my father didn't say anything and even beat me up."
When Han Du heard this, he burst into laughter and said meaningfully: "Don't be too curious, otherwise you won't know how you will suffer."
Doctor Lao Tan saw Zhu Biao wearing a bright yellow python robe. How could he not know that this was His Highness the Crown Prince? Facing the Crown Prince's inquiry, he instinctively wanted to hide behind him, but was pushed out by the person behind him.
Zhu Biao's eyes immediately fell on Lao Tan. Seeing that he was carrying a wooden box that doctors often carry, he asked: "Don't be afraid. Haosheng replied, you saved ten thousand households?"
"The common people pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Lao Tan knelt down and bowed to Zhu Biao.
When the others heard that it was His Highness the Crown Prince, they immediately knelt down and worshiped.
Zhu Biao had long been accustomed to such scenes. He accepted everyone's kneeling and bowed generously, and then said: "Everyone, get up."
Then he looked at Lao Tan and continued to ask: "Did you save Wanhu?"
