Not far away, there is a heroic eagle soaring in the sky, its unruly eagle eyes sweeping the world.
This sky is its home field. It seems to be able to dominate the creatures in this world. With its sharp eyes, it can see every plant and tree below the sky, even a mouse.
But soon, its eagle eyes suddenly froze...
It saw, at some point, a dark ball appeared in front of it, with a large hanging basket underneath.
Inside that hanging basket, there were three living creatures with very strange shapes.
It looked like three upright, white cones with human heads, all of which were looking towards me with a sly look.
The eagle suddenly became panicked. What the hell is this? So scared...
Accompanied by a somewhat panicked and sharp eagle call, the eagle that was originally soaring suddenly became panicked and flapped its wings.
However, its behavior not only failed to stop its forward momentum in time, but even caused it to lose the support of the airflow.
He screamed in panic, was carried by inertia, and directly hit the hot balloon, and then smashed down softly.
What a coincidence, when the wind blew it, it didn't fall directly to the ground, but was blown into the bamboo basket.
"..." The three adults wrapped in quilts all watched silently as the eagle was knocked unconscious and fell into the hanging basket.
Cheng Chubi looked at the eagle that had obviously been knocked unconscious and couldn't laugh or cry.
"This... must have scared us, right?" Li Shimin took a deep breath and said thoughtfully.
As a man who knew that catching and harming national second-level protected animals was a crime, Cheng Sanlang shook his head faster than a drum.
But he soon noticed the suspicious look cast by his father-in-law, and Cheng Chubi quickly tried to quibble.
"This eagle was clearly captured by my father-in-law Long Wei. It was so frightened that it fainted in panic. It has nothing to do with my son-in-law."
"...Zhao Kun, please tie it up first, don't hurt it."
After receiving His Majesty's order, Zhao Kun threw away the quilt, quickly took out a leather condom, placed it directly on the eagle's beak, and then started to tie it with ropes.
Cheng Sanlang was amazed at the skill and swiftness of his movements. "My father-in-law, are you planning to tame this thing?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth with pride, and shook his head in a very noble and reserved manner.
"This kind of wild eagle is very ordinary. I just want to wait for a while to see if it is injured, and then let it fly again."
I don't even think about it. I have been playing with birds for many years. I have never played with any kind of bird. I still can't even notice a mere wild eagle.

When Cheng Sanlang and Li Shimin descended to a height of less than fifty feet from the ground, the quilts on their bodies had been taken off and packed neatly again.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty returned to his former majesty and reserve, and Cheng Sanlang's detailed description of what the Immortal Basket could do came to his ears.
This thing is naturally a good treasure. If it is used in war, if such a thing is produced in the military camp of the Tang Dynasty, and coupled with a telescope, it will be hundreds of miles away, and it will be impossible to hide even a mouse.
It also allowed Wu Bi of the Tang Dynasty to check the enemy first and calmly deal with the invading areas.
In addition, when carrying out siege battles, if this thing is stunned, the commander of the Tang army can pass it.
Observe the enemy's troop deployment in the city and the weak links in the defense.
You can even use this object to command the flying thunder cannon made by Cheng Sanlang to bombard the enemy troops in the city.
Furthermore, if the defenders had this device, they could clearly see every move of the enemy troops outside the city, calmly deploy their troops, and adjust their defense strategies.
Of course, in addition to being used in war, it can also be widely used among civilians.
For example, with the Tang Dynasty's maritime transport, it was possible to discover islands or land dozens of miles away.
It can also be used to observe the unpredictable weather above the ocean and avoid upcoming dangers in time.
As for pirates with unknown intentions, Datang's ships can also adjust their formations in a timely manner, either to escape calmly or to form formations to attack the enemy.
Listening to Cheng Sanlang's salivating explanation of the functions of this immortal basket, Li Shimin had to admit that Cheng Sanlang was really smart.
Many of the functions he thought of can be said to be refreshing.
Li Shimin patted the frame and handrail of the hanging basket, looking at the majestic and magnificent Luoyang in the distance, he was filled with emotions.
"With this thing, there is also the flying thunder cannon that you, my dear son-in-law, tinkered with to destroy an entire city.
Is there anywhere in the world that I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot reach, and what kind of city is there that I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot break?"
When Cheng Chubi heard that one person was destroying a city, he quickly glanced at his father-in-law out of the corner of his eye. It was okay, okay, his expression was not hypocritical. It seemed that he was just sighing, not mocking himself as an honest man.
But these words really reminded Cheng Sanlang that if the Tang Dynasty wanted to attack Goguryeo, haha...

When Li Shimin got off the immortal basket slowly and gracefully under the envious eyes of all his ministers, he told them with a proud face that the scenery in the sky was unique.
Then, Zhao Kun appeared in front of everyone holding an eagle with a very loyal expression, and everyone's eyes widened.
What's going on? Your Majesty is hiding a bird again? Well, after all, His Majesty once had the bad habit of hiding birds in his clothes, and he once suffocated a bird to death.
Fortunately, Cheng Sanlang, a good son-in-law, was here and stepped forward in time.
"Just now when Your Majesty ascended to the sky, a soaring eagle was seen in the sky, captured by His Majesty's divine power.
I was so frightened that I fell down in front of His Majesty, screaming and kowtowing, and refused to leave for a long time."
"Your Majesty felt pity for his loyalty, but was afraid that driving him away would hurt the eagle's heart, so he brought him down specially."
"..." All the important civil and military officials widened their eyes in an exaggerated manner and grinned, looking at Cheng Sanlang, who was talking seriously, in shock.
His Majesty's expression seemed slightly embarrassed at first, but soon became calmer, stroking his long beard with appreciation and smiling without saying a word.
As the Prime Minister of Fang, who had just been disturbed by his son's ascension to heaven, he immediately jumped out.
He bowed to His Majesty excitedly, and then said loudly in a very contagious voice.
"When Your Majesty ascends to the sky, his dragon eyes shine, even the unruly iron-winged ferocious bird must surrender to his true destiny..."
"I congratulate Your Majesty on your ability to conquer mountains and rivers and gallop across the country, and congratulate me on the great Tang Dynasty's everlasting prosperity..."
Seeing that the Prime Minister was suddenly so shameless, all the ministers were caught off guard at first, but soon they all reacted and started to flatter the wise and powerful Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
