Chapter Ninety-Nine: Into the Valley
The next morning, Xia Yuxi got up, walked a few laps outside the camp, and when he came back, he saw Qiao Feng and Zhang Cheng also coming over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Princess, the terrain here is very special, the mountains on both sides of the canyon are extremely steep, we have also tried to climb up, but we have not succeeded, and we can't enter the entrance, hey, the prince has been in it for ten days, and I don't know what happened?" Zhang Cheng looked melancholy, he really couldn't help it.
"I know, I've seen it, but there will always be a way, it's just that time is tight." Xia Yuxi has also observed this place, it is indeed difficult to do, but there is an advantage that because it is difficult to climb, Zi Shengguo has no fortifications over there, and it may be because of self-confidence, there are not many people guarding the entrance, and yes, if Xia Yuxi is not from modern times, with the current people's understanding of gunpowder, I am afraid that it will never be solved.
"Does the princess have a way?" Zhang Cheng's eyes were bright and scary. Qiao Feng patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder, he knew that Xia Yuxi was very special, but after all, she was a little girl, and their group of big men couldn't put all their hopes on the princess.
"I have a way, you can give it a try, find me a few ingenious craftsmen to come over, help me prepare something, I'll come over later, and make it together." Xia Yuxi is not sure if what she wants to do will succeed, but there is a little hope that she will work hard.
The materials were ready in a while, and people came over, and Xia Yuxi drew a sketch: "Is it okay to make it for me according to this picture?" In fact, what Xia Yuxi has to do is a hot air balloon, she has to "fly" to the top of the mountain, and then use the principle of a kite to jump into the canyon.
"This is.." The craftsmen were surprised, they had never seen such a thing, of course, judging from the picture, it was not difficult to understand Xia Yuxi's intentions.
"You don't have to care, just do it, you have to finish it in the shortest time, the prince is still in the valley, we don't have much time, we must do it before noon today, I want to test the flight." Xia Yuxi said firmly, and several craftsmen also knew it, especially for the sake of the prince, they were duty-bound and agreed very firmly.
Xia Yuxi was not idle, she ordered people to prepare food and water on the one hand, and prepared things for the hot air balloon to rise into the sky on the other. There is no blower, so it has to be operated manually, and the principle of pulling the fan can be used to give it a try, but the wind is not so strong, so it can fly up, and it is not used for tourism anyway.
For a whole morning, the prototype of the hot air balloon came out, and the next thing was a test flight, this matter should be kept secret, and Zisheng's people could not find out, they chose to be behind a forest not far from the camp, where the terrain is wide, and it happened to be a northwest wind today.
"Hmm, ignition." Xia Yuxi ordered the fire to be ignited, and after a while, the gas on the fan was fired, and the balloon slowly flew up.
"Great, it's flying, it's really flying." Several craftsmen shouted excitedly, but after a while, the strength was not enough, the wind was not enough, and the balloon fell again.
"Oh, what a pity, it's almost there." The craftsman's face, which had just been excited, was now a frosted eggplant.
"The materials we used were not light enough, and the wind was not strong enough in this place, so we changed them." Xia Yuxi looked at the balloon that fell, pondered for a while, got busy again, and after some tossing, changed a few places, it is estimated that this time it should be okay, and after a look at the weather, this should be the most suitable to enter the valley, the wind is very strong, and it is very conducive to flying.
"Zhang Cheng, prepare something for me, don't try it, Qiao Feng and I will fly up this time."
"No, Princess, this is not a joke, if the balloon falls, it will be dangerous, let's try again." Zhang Cheng didn't dare to agree, princess, that is the tip of the prince's heart, others don't know, but they are all in the eyes of the prince's henchmen.
"Listen to me, the weather is just right now, I don't want to waste time, you know that the prince will be in danger if he stays at the bottom of the valley for one more day, prepare things, Qiao Feng, let's go." Xia Yuxi couldn't refuse, Zhang Cheng had no choice but to agree, she was the master.
Bypassing the guards of the Zisheng people, Xia Yuxi and his party came to the bottom of the valley, and they couldn't see the top at all.
"Princess, let's go, it's too dangerous." Zhang Cheng is still not at ease.
"No need, you won't be able to operate here, besides, I'm not unprepared, if I really want to fall, I can let myself survive, don't worry, Qiao Feng, let's go." Xia Yuxi wore a seat belt around her waist, just in case, she was not a god.
Everything was ready, and the two of them got on the pallet under the balloon, and because they wanted to reduce the load, they directly used the lightest plank.
"Qiao Feng, you tie me to the pole on one side, and I'll operate the fan." Xia Yuxi was standing, but his hands were raised, this posture was very uncomfortable, but there was no way, this seemed simple, and there was a certain skill, Qiao Feng didn't have the ability to share it even if he wanted to.
I don't know when the northwest wind has turned to the north, it is very cold, but it is very beneficial to them in the summer rain, the hot air balloon flew up slowly, and the people below are very nervous to watch, for fear of a little accident, of course, they are also preparing a lot of soft grass at the bottom, in case of an accident, it is good to be prepared.
Due to the lack of wind, the balloon flew very slowly, but it flew up before evening.
There was suddenly such a big guy in the empty sky, whether it was the people outside the valley or Luo Chenxuan in the valley, they all saw it.
"Lord Wang, look, what is that?" Qiao Yu pointed to the slowly rising balloon and shouted a little excitedly. "Didn't our people come to save us?"
Luo Chenxuan also raised his head to look, he didn't know the big guy, he was far away and couldn't see clearly, he didn't know whether he was friend or foe. At this time, Luo Chenxuan was embarrassed, his hair was scattered, his clothes were scratched by bombs everywhere, there were also a few blood marks on his face, and his lips were cracked, these days they died for a lifetime, although there were no large beasts in the woods, but they would always be blown up inadvertently, and many brothers died, at first I didn't understand what was going on, but after a lot of experience, I found that there were iron bumps hidden on the ground, this kind of thing would explode when touched, it was very powerful, they suffered a lot of losses, especially Mu Fei, in order to protect him, he also injured his legs, There are hard objects in it that can't be taken out, and now their legs are so swollen that if they don't go out again, it is estimated that Mu Fei's legs will not be able to be saved.
"Watch." Luo Chenxuan said a word, and then flew up to a big tree, if it was an enemy, he could only fight hard, because they hadn't eaten or drunk water for three days, there was no water in this canyon, but they were poisoned, the prince of Zi Shengguo was really vicious, and he wanted his life in such a way, but he Luo Chenxuan was not so easy to obey, and if he died, he had to pull more people to accompany him. It's just that when he thinks of Xia Yuxi, Luo Chenxuan's heart hurts faintly, I'm afraid that he is really going to lose his trust.
"Oh, I hope you don't suffer too much and find happiness by yourself." Luo Chenxuan smiled bitterly, cheered up, and stared at the big guy.
"Qiao Feng, fly the grappling hook to the tree over there, we're going to land." Xia Yuxi ordered, Qiao Feng stretched out his hand, and the grappling hook was hung on the branches of the big tree very accurately.
"Alright, let's put it down." Qiao Feng looked at Xia Yuxidao.
After a while, the hot air balloon landed safely on the top of the mountain.
"Tie up the kite, let's go down, oh, by the way, send a signal to the prince, tell them that we are coming, and Qiao Feng, you have martial arts, throw a few stones down." Xia Yuxi said and untied the rope and began to make kites, of course, this is not an ordinary kite, it is a manned kite.
"Okay, but what are you throwing rocks for?" Qiao Feng was puzzled.
"Don't ask so much, throw it if you want to, throw it near and far." Xia Yuxi won't tell him, it's to test whether there are mines at the bottom of the valley, and he has to explain it if he talks too much, troublesome.
"Lord Wang, it's our people, our people are here, Lord Wang, we have been saved." Qiao Yu was so happy that she wanted to cry.
"Well, you go and pick them up, and watch your step, and walk the way we've walked." Since the bomb was discovered, Luo Chenxuan would make a mark every place he went.
"Yes, lord, I'll go now." Qiao Yu ran excitedly in the direction of the balloon.
