At this time, the hot air balloon had been placed in the open space in front of Tai Chi Palace, and His Majesty Li Er was explaining its use to Queen Changsun.
Not long after, Princess Changle and Sizi came over.
"Abba!"
Two familiar calls rang out, and His Majesty Li Er said with a smile: "Dad, I'll show you something fun!"
His Majesty Li Er pointed to the hot air balloon on the ground and said: "This thing can fly in the sky. My father flew from Wannian County to Lishan yesterday on it!"
He was afraid that his two daughters would be worried, so he didn't say much about his bizarre experience.
Princess Changle and Sizi came forward curiously and looked at it carefully, then hesitantly said: "Dad, is this called a hot air balloon?"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was startled and asked: "Li Zhi, how do you know about hot air balloons?"
Princess Changle said softly: "When I talked to brother Su Chen before, I often heard him mention it."
"But I remember Brother Su Chen said that it would take a long time to study this thing before it can be ridden. Why was it made so quickly?"
After she finished speaking, His Majesty Li Er was even more stunned.
How long have you been researching?
According to the information he got, the kid only spent less than half a month researching it!
Suddenly, he had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Did he really say that?"
Princess Changle nodded seriously and said: "Brother Su Chen said that this thing is easy to fly, but there are bound to be minor problems. It is easy for problems to occur. In addition to not falling suddenly, other things may happen."
"Brother Su Chen also said that after finding some people to test and stabilize it, he would take Si Zi and me to play in the sky."
After she mentioned the sect, His Majesty Li Er understood instantly!
No wonder Su Chen, that little bastard, refused to come up. It turned out that he was the person who was tested by Princess Changle!
Looking at Princess Changle's pure, crystal-like eyes, His Majesty Li Er shook his head helplessly.
As a father, his treatment is much worse than that of his own daughter!
He suddenly felt that his comeback plan seemed to have failed from the beginning!
With how slick Su Chen is, how could he possibly benefit from taking over from him?
After watching the hot air balloon, Li Er didn't say anything else for a while and returned to the imperial study room feeling quite disappointed.
Time passed quickly, and another three days passed in the blink of an eye.
His Majesty Li Er, who was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, had just received a secret message from Baiqi.
The giant glazed wolf has made its debut in Fuai City, and the effect is astonishing, causing a huge shock!
The Baiqisi led by Li Junxian spent almost no effort, and this incident had already become known to everyone on the grassland!
Except for Fusu and others who were leading an army of 200,000 to confront the Tang cavalry outside Liangzhou, all countries including the Western Turks knew the news!
Things were somewhat different from what Su Chen expected.
After the news reached the Western Turks, the first one to take action was not the Ashina tribe but three other nobles who were competing with the Ashina tribe for the royal court. They immediately sent troops to Fuai City!
There is only one purpose, to take back the giant wolf statue that represents the god!
Even the step of detecting the authenticity of the information was omitted.
To them, since everyone in Mo Yuan knew about this matter, it no longer mattered whether the treasure was real or fake!
As long as they get a giant wolf statue from Fuai City, whether it is the same as the one in the rumors, it will be of great use.
When the time comes, countless tribes will turn around and support them.
In the hearts of prairie people, fanaticism for faith can be said to be very terrifying!
Under their intentional blockade, Ashinabe learned the news a day later.
After they briefly understood what had happened, they were overjoyed and directly led 50,000 elite cavalry to ambush the city!
Counting the other three tribes, there are nearly 150,000 Western Turkic cavalry marching towards Fuai City at this time.
But Fusu, the famous king of Tuyuhun, was completely unaware of all this.
Originally, according to his plan, he should have divided his forces at this time to invade the Eleven Continents on the border of Datang, but he never expected that Datang would mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops!
Blocked them directly outside the Great Wall!
They were surrounded on three sides, leaving them completely unable to divide their forces.
When he first learned the news, Fusu was panicked for a while.
Is it impossible for them to defeat so many elites of the Tang Dynasty?
Even if they fight on the plains outside the Great Wall, they can only ensure a smooth escape. It is absolutely impossible to achieve any results, let alone divide their troops to harass.
Just when Fusu was having a headache, he suddenly discovered something abnormal.
These Tang troops only surrounded them in vain, with no intention of starting a war.
Even the small vanguard army that came to test it didn't show up.
Based on Fusu's understanding of the Tang army, this was definitely not their usual routine.
But even if he thought too hard, he never imagined that this was just Datang's delaying strategy.
In shock and uncertainty, Fusu had no idea that he had missed his only opportunity. If he had been tougher and took the lead in starting a war with the Tang Dynasty, taking advantage of the fact that the food and grass of the Tang Dynasty were not in place, he might have caused some trouble to the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
.
But now, it was obviously too late. The Western Turkic army quickly entered Fuai City.
In order to investigate the traces of the giant wolf, the entire city was in uproar.
This is because Ashina's army has not yet arrived. If they had arrived, Fuai City would have been even more chaotic.
The left-behind officials in Fuai City were so frightened that they sent troops to quickly report to Fusu. The border war was about to break out!
Su Chen naturally didn't know about these things, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.
For him, the net has been laid, and all that is left is to wait. There is no chance that there will be any problems with his plan!
All his attention is now focused on Japan!
All the preliminary preparations are in place, and today is the day to set sail!
"Set sail, let's go!"
Following Su Chen's order, the battleship started to move.
Amid the shocked expressions of countless people, it slowly sailed towards the Bohai Bay.
His Majesty Li Er did not come to see him off in person, but he had been paying attention to the situation on Su Chen's side.
The failure of the comeback plan made him very depressed, but in order to ensure Su Chen's safety, he still secretly issued the order.
Zhang Liang, Duke of Yun State, was ordered to take twenty naval warships and set off directly from Yangzhou Bay, ahead of Su Chen, to the Japanese country.
They had only one purpose, which was to secretly protect a large ship flying the Su flag.
Unless something unexpected happens, don't show up.
