His Majesty Li Er asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
The general hurriedly saluted, raised his hands and replied: "I am Yang Xiang, the captain of the Jinwu Guards School. I was stationed at the Lishan Palace under the orders of the general. I heard some unusual movements here, so I came to investigate..."
Before he could finish speaking, His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and interrupted: "There is no need to ask any more questions. Today's events are strictly prohibited from outside rumors!"
Yang Xiang quickly nodded in agreement.
Although he is a military commander, he is not a simple-minded person.
Both His Majesty and Duke Lai are wearing regular clothes, and they appear here inexplicably. It is obviously something secretive.
As for what it is, it's not something he can interfere with in this little school drama.
"Pack up the fur of this big insect and bring it to the palace." His Majesty Li Er continued.
Yang Xiang hurriedly responded and asked the soldiers to carry the corpse of the big insect. He himself took a group of people and escorted His Majesty Li Er towards the palace.
After entering the palace, His Majesty Li Er and Du Ruhui completely relaxed.
Du Ruhui glanced at His Majesty Li Er quietly and ordered: "Go and prepare some food. It doesn't need to be too complicated. The sooner the better!"
After a while, a table of food was ready, and His Majesty Li Er and Du Ruhui began to wolf down the food.
After finishing the meal, Du Ruhui said with emotion: "Your Majesty, today's experience is something I will never forget!"
His Majesty Li Er also sighed: "Yes, I never dreamed that I would encounter such outrageous things!"
Originally, Du Ruhui was still worried that His Majesty Li Er would be furious because of this incident, so he continued: "In my opinion, this incident should be just an accident."
"I watched this hot air balloon land before, so there should be no problem."
"Who knew that something that was in good condition would suddenly break again!"
His Majesty Li Er glanced at him and immediately understood what he meant.
Am I such a stingy person?
Feeling a little depressed in his heart, His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "Don't worry, I came up myself. No one knew that this would happen. That little bastard Su Chen didn't know my identity either, so there was no reason to do it deliberately.
This issue!"
Hearing this, Du Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief.
Based on His Majesty's fiery temper, he thought that the matter would not be settled easily, but to his surprise, His Majesty had no intention of pursuing it.
It seems that in His Majesty's heart, Su Chen's status is really frighteningly high!
If it were anyone else, this matter would not be so simple!
"What are you going to do with the hot air balloon?" Du Ruhui continued to ask.
"I have already sent someone to transport him back to the palace!"
His Majesty Li Er said: "Let's take a rest in this palace today, go to Sujiazhuang early tomorrow morning, and then return to Tai Chi Palace!"
Not long after, Du Ruhui got up and left.
His Majesty Li Er didn't stay with him much, and fell asleep deeply after bathing and changing clothes.
This day has been so exhausting!
Early the next morning, Li Erxiao and Du Ruhui secretly set off in a carriage again.
…
An hour later, His Majesty Li Er arrived at Su Chen's house.
The old housekeeper was very surprised to see the two of them.
"Lao Li, Lao Wei, are you okay?"
"My young master has been worried for a long time. He sent people to look for you all night. He thought something unexpected happened to you!"
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er felt a little more comfortable.
At least that little bastard has some humanity and knows how to send someone out to find him.
"Where is Su Chen?"
The old butler said: "The young master is still sleeping. He ate too much hot pot last night. The young master said he needed to digest it well and told me not to disturb him in the morning."
After hearing this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt angry again!
He floated in the sky for a whole day and was hungry the whole time.
That little bastard is actually full?
The old housekeeper saw that the expressions of these two people suddenly became a little ugly, and he immediately understood that he had made a mistake. How could he tell the truth?
These two people have been floating in the sky for several hours!
Isn’t this just rubbing salt into people’s wounds?
"Come in and sit down first."
The old housekeeper hurriedly greeted him warmly: "I'm going to wake up the young master. It's a big deal for you to come back!"
After saying that, he first served some snacks to the two of them, and then went to find Su Chen in a hurry.
Not long after, Su Chen came out yawning and said sleepily: "Old Li, where did you two go yesterday? Why are you back now?"
"I thought something happened to you, so I sent people to search for you for a long time."
Mentioning this matter, His Majesty Li Er's bad memories were brought back again, and he said depressingly: "Your hot air balloon is broken. Not only can it not descend, it keeps floating forward."
"Lao Wei and I floated until we were near Lishan Mountain before we came down!"
Hearing this, Su Chen was dumbfounded!
Did he really drift to Lishan Mountain?
According to the speed of that hot air balloon, it can't float for several hours?
Thinking of this, he looked at the two of them with a little sympathy.
When His Majesty Li Er saw this look, he was almost angry to death. He drank tea without saying anything.
Now he has somewhat understood that this boy has been evading and saying nothing.
There is definitely a reason!
"Why can't the good ones come down?"
Su Chen was a little confused and asked: "Did you bring back the hot air balloon?"
Du Ruhui shook his head and said: "It's impossible for the two of us to be transported back. We were left in the mountains. The terrain there is extremely complicated. I don't think we can be found again."
Su Chen looked regretful, nodded, and said: "This thing has just been researched, and it is indeed a bit unstable, but it doesn't matter, just wait until I get some time to improve it."
"Before you floated away, I heard the sound of a bomb. What was the effect?"
When business was brought up, Du Ruhui's face became serious.
"There's something wrong with the bombs. We dropped three of them in total. It's true that they can explode."
"But every time it explodes before it hits the ground. It doesn't even blow up a tree. Do you have any way to solve this problem?"
Explode prematurely?
Su Chen touched his chin thoughtfully.
It must be that the ignition time was not calculated properly.
This problem also gave him a headache.
Due to the limited manufacturing process, the weight of each bomb and the burning time of the fuse are different.
It seems that there is no way to make unified calculations. We can only test them bit by bit. This workload is not small, and it is estimated that the expedition will be delayed for a few more days.
After thinking for a while, Su Chen nodded and said: "This is a small problem. It will be fine after I test it again. It just needs some effort."
Speaking of Zong, Su Chen glanced at the two of them.
The whole night had passed, and the two men's faces were still a little pale. They were obviously frightened by what happened yesterday.
He was too embarrassed to mention asking the two of them to help with the experiment, so he seemed to have no choice but to bite the bullet and do it himself.
