While Yan Bing and Emperor Xuan Si were chatting, the ball of the hot air balloon began to expand and gradually floated up. Yan Bing hurriedly stepped forward to tighten the valve, stood up the hanging basket, led Sun Wu to climb in, and lifted
The telescope was also given to him, and he was taught how to use the hot air balloon and the telescope.
"How? Do you dare? If you feel guilty, my father-in-law can fly up with you." Yan Bing looked at Sun Wu's concentration, and felt a pity for his talent, for fear that something would happen to him.
Sun Wu suddenly turned his head when he heard this. The expression on his face was obviously moved and joyful. He bowed and raised his hands and said firmly: "Please don't worry, Duke Ding! I have already kept it in mind and promise to complete the mission!"
"Well, good!" Yan Bing nodded with satisfaction. If the camp cultivated such talents, she would probably wake up laughing even if she slept, but she couldn't show it all on her face. If she praised her too much, she would only
It makes him complacent and affects his ability to grow.
It was at this moment that He Yougui walked quickly through the Xuande Gate, following a young eunuch. He was stunned when he saw the "behemoth" in the square, and looked up and down carefully.
He hurriedly came to Emperor Xuansi and bowed.
"Zhikai is here? (He Yougui's word) Come, come, guess what object this is!?" Emperor Xuansi looked at He Yougui with a smile, and then raised his hand to show him
Towards the hot air balloon.
He Yougui made a "hiss" sound, took a breath of cold air, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the cloth ball on this thing! It is so big! But it can float in the air! Could it be consistent with the "prayer lamp"? But
...why make
So big!? There is a hanging basket hanging at the bottom, and there is a person standing in the basket..." Speaking of this, He Yougui suddenly turned his head and looked at Emperor Xuansi, and asked with a look of surprise: "Could it be! This thing can
People are brought into the air!!!”
When Emperor Xuansi heard this, the smile on his face became even thicker. He raised his finger and pointed at He Yougui, and said loudly: "You are worthy of being the mainstay of my Daliang minister!!! Smart!!! This is exactly what Duke Dingguo said."
Specially made before the first expedition!!”
After speaking, he shouted to Yan Bing in the hanging basket: "Qihua!!! Zhikai is here too!!! Fly this thing to me!!!"
Hearing this, Yan Bing bowed, then turned around and unscrewed the throttle. The flames instantly rose, and he kicked the air temperature in the sphere with a final kick. The hanging basket moved slightly, with a faint tendency to rise!
"After you get up there, follow my flags and act according to my flags! Then give me my flags! Do you understand?" Yan Bing gave the last instruction. After seeing Sun Wu bowing to accept the order, he turned over and jumped out of the hanging basket, and the weight was reduced.
, the hot air balloon directly rose a few inches higher, and then slowly rose.
"Tie the rope to the winch of the trolley! Release it slowly!" Yan Bing ordered the ten soldiers while calling the other flag bearer to Emperor Xuansi's side. He first raised his hand to He Shangshu, and the two of them
After some polite exchanges, they looked at the hot air balloon together.
As the hot air balloon climbed higher and higher, Yan Bing looked sideways with a smile, and saw Emperor Xuan Si stroking his beard with a smile on his face, and He Yougui on the side also did the same, stroking his beard and smiling.
The whole face was smiling, but when it came to Yan Bing... he had nothing to do... he felt very embarrassed...
Damn it! It’s all fake to say that your body, hair, and skin are affected by your parents!!
I can figure it out!! The beard is just used for pretending to be b!!!
I... I... Damn it! I can't touch my hair!!!
Silent and speechless, I could only look up at the sky...
"It's really rising!! Seconds! Seconds!!" He Yougui stroked his beard with one hand and pointed at the hot air balloon with the other, turning his head and praising Emperor Xuansi.
Emperor Xuansi nodded, looked at the hot air balloon, smiled without saying a word, but the corners of his eyes had wrinkles, and he was obviously very happy.
The hot air balloon rose higher and higher under the gaze of everyone. It was almost more than fifty meters above the ground. Yan Bing said to the flag carrier beside him: "Sign the flag! Stay where you are!"
The semaphore soldiers took orders and kept waving flags and semaphores in the direction of the balloon.
Sun Wu in the hanging basket, who had been watching the orders below, hurried forward and turned down the burner valve.
Seeing that the hot air balloon gradually slowed down its ascent, Yan Bing turned to look at Emperor Xuan Si and He Shangshu, and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, would you like to know how many people are standing in the apse square at this time?"
Emperor Xuansi didn't even turn his head, he continued to look at the hot air balloon in the sky, and said happily: "Let him come and retaliate!"
Yan Bing nodded, turned around and winked at Qi Yu.
The flag soldiers understood and began to wave their flags.
After receiving the order, Sun Wu began to raise his telescope and look at the back square in the distance, counting silently in his mind...
After counting, start replying with semaphores.
"Repay! Sixty armored soldiers! Twenty civilians! A total of eighty!" After the flag soldier interpreted it, he bowed and said.
"Xiao Zhezi, take He Shangshu with you to get some..." The smile on Emperor Xuansi's face did not diminish, and his excitement was palpable.
Xiao Zhezi bowed to accept the order and led He Shangshu to the back hall.
After the two of them walked away, Emperor Xuansi withdrew his gaze, looked at Yan Bing and said, "The drawing of this object...?"
"It's already been sent to Jingxi Workshop!" Yan Bing answered before Emperor Xuan Si finished speaking.
Emperor Xuansi smiled and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I haven't told the ministers about my muskets and artillery yet... You asked them to come with guns today..."
Hearing this, Yan Bing hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty! A national war is about to begin. It is important to know the enemy, but knowing oneself is even more important for our command!"
Emperor Xuansi thought about it for a while, nodded, continued to turn his head and looked into the sky, and said in a deep voice: "That's all, as soon as the battle starts, everyone will know about it sooner or later. But, I want to know, you trust me so much."
What is his reason..."
Yan Bing also thought for a moment before slowly replying: "Because what happened to He Shangshu and his behavior are very similar to one of my old friends. I believe that such people are loyal to the emperor and patriotic."
Yan Bing cleverly told a half-truth and half-false lie, which actually made Emperor Xuansi laugh.
"How old are you? Are you still an old friend? How old are you, an old friend?"
Yan Bing smiled slightly and replied cleverly: "My lord, I am a good friend..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xuansi twirled his beard and laughed, and Li Bing also laughed...
"Your Majesty!! Your Majesty!!!"
The two of them were laughing when they heard He Yougui's call from behind.
The little old man ran so fast that the hem of his official robe swayed in the wind. The little Zhezi behind him, despite his young age, was chasing after him with a blushing face and thick neck, but he was thrown further and further away...
He Yougui came closer, bowed and said loudly: "Your Majesty! I have counted them! There is no one missing! However, I want to know how the person on the basket was far away from the back hall, how could he check so clearly! Could it be possible?
Stranger!?"
Emperor Xuan Si put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "You asked the wrong person, you should ask her." After saying that, he raised his chin towards Yan Bing.
Yan Bing understood, and stepped forward to explain: "I also made an object, which is now in the hands of the person on the basket. It's called a "telescope." As the name suggests, it is specially used to see far away. Even if it is several miles away, it is as close as a telescope.
In front of you! Not to mention this is only a few hundred steps."
He Yougui was shocked when he heard this. He himself had worked step by step from a front-line commander to his current position. Of course he understood what all this meant! He immediately straightened his clothes and bowed to Yan Bing respectfully...
All is said without saying...
"It's a little early for you to admire her now! She has prepared another surprise for you! By then, you may be so shocked that you will kneel down!" After Emperor Xuansi finished speaking, he waved to the attendants behind him.
After beckoning and taking the yellow umbrella, two young eunuchs immediately ran out, moved a dragon chair, and placed it behind Emperor Xuansi.
"Old man, after standing for a long time, my waist starts to hurt..." Emperor Xuan Si smiled bitterly and sat down slowly. He seemed to have remembered something, turned to Yan Bing and He Yougui and said, "How about that?"
Let’s try it here, the venue is big enough, I’m too lazy to go back and forth.”
Hearing this, Yan Bing smiled mischievously and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, you know the power of the musket. If you break the palace wall..."
"You don't need to pay! I'm too lazy to fix it!" After Emperor Xuansi finished speaking, his eyes narrowed slightly, seeming to have deep meaning...
Yan Bing looked at Emperor Xuan Si's expression, combined with what he just said...I understand!!
Emperor Xuansi deliberately wanted to leave bullet holes!! on the only way to go to court!!!
Anyway, there is no airtight wall. Since they will know sooner or later, it is better to take it out in advance! It will shock and deter some "xiaoxiao"!
Thinking of this, Yan Bing looked at Emperor Xuansi and said with a wicked smile: "Your Majesty, would you like me to bring the cannon too!? I promise!! The effect will be better!!!"
"Pa!" Emperor Xuansi slapped the dragon chair, and his face almost turned green with anger! He yelled loudly: "Consult the holy will!!! Death penalty!!!"
Yan Bing was stunned when he heard the words... then Emperor Xuansi said slowly: "But you have the merit of offering treasures this time, so the merits and demerits are equal, and there is no punishment or reward..." After saying that, Emperor Xuansi said
