Chapter 15: Condescending

There is no Gui in the capital, but Guiyue is still more than halfway through after all.

On August 14, Wude Palace had another three days off, one was resting, and the other was mid-autumn.

On the 14th, there was a holiday, and everyone was busy, and on this day they had to send things to their daughter's family who got married, and they needed to make their daughter look bad at her husband's house.

The noble sons of Wude Palace had nothing to do, so they all responded to Liu Yu's invitation and came to the vicinity of Shichahai early in the morning.

The simple hot air balloon has been prepared, and Liu Yu chose the location of the first ascension here in Shichahai.

This is also intentional.

Next to it is the Bell and Drum Tower, which is in a prosperous place, and there are many people in August 14, which can cause a sensation.

It is only a hundred and ten meters away from the imperial city, and if you have a mind, you can also peek into the situation of the Forbidden City from a high place.

This is death.

However, Liu Yu also thought clearly. It was originally a scheming temptation, if Dashun couldn't even accommodate a hot air balloon, he would have to make another plan in the future.

Anyway, it's a gamble, you should learn from the county order of Fuqing County, Bai Yunhang.

Gamble on a big one, if the emperor Lao'er sees it in the Forbidden City, then it's good, whether it is a win or a loss It is estimated that it will be known today.

He harbored evil intentions and arrested more than a dozen noble children, and if something happened, he could be punished and not blamed.

The second sons of the founding prince Danfan, who went to school in the Wude Palace, are basically here.

More than a dozen people listened to Liu Yu boasting that "Li Taibai's resurrection must be a poem", thinking that they would definitely see something amazing.

But after all the steamed buns drove the carriage to deliver that thing, they were all dumbfounded.

That's it?

That's it?

A stack of silk fabrics, unable to see what they were, was incomparably huge, stacked on top of each other.

He was followed by a few strong men, who looked like they were born in iron, carrying a large bellows for iron.

The silk cloth seemed to have been smeared with something, and the good silk was so ugly that it looked like something dirty had been glued to it.

"Brother Shouchang, you're not going to let us see this, are you? What is this? ”

Tian Ping and Liu Yu had the best relationship, and he was the first to ask. These days, Liu Yu has been messing around, and he also knows what the steamed buns are messing up outside.

But he was not interested in Western studies, so he didn't ask.

Liu Yu said that Li Taibai would write a poem, and he was moved.

Listening to Liu Yu's meaning, if Li Taibai is alive, the pride of the poems and songs he composes should be no less difficult than that of Shu Dao, so he really wants to know what it will be.

Now that I look at it, my heart is half cold.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, which is really half a good thing.

"In line with your meaning, Li Taibai has never seen a flour pocket made of silk cloth in his life? In the notes of those literati in the future, it is rare to comment on the sentence 'The third son of the Duke of Yiguo, the tyrannical destruction of heavenly things'. ”

After a merciless sarcasm on his lips, Liu Yu scolded with a smile: "You know a fart? I have all read the story of the dynasty, and I know that the most difficult battle in Taizong's time was the siege of Jingzhou after Jiugong Mountain. If you have this thing, you can get a glimpse of the whole city, and it will be of great benefit to arrange the troops. ”

"This thing can make people fly!"

A thousand words are no better than the word "fly".

Flying has been the dream of human beings since ancient times, flying is not a problem, it is a problem to be able to make people fly.

If he can really carry people to fly, Li Taibai will spill out a lot of pride, and he will not be stingy.

Can...... This thing can't fly no matter how you look at it.

Before Liu Yu unfolded, he sang a few high-pitched words, making it clear that he was "fighting and attacking the city on the frontier", so he conceived this thing, and it will be easy to explain in the future.

When a group of people heard the flying word, they had already bombed the camp, and they all gathered around the carriage, this touch, that touch.

"I said, Brother Shouchang, then don't sell it. If I can really fly, I'll have this drink tonight. ”

Tian Ping couldn't help but fantasize about the pride of ascension, and tore at the strange-looking big bag that was more than ten zhang long.

Liu Yu coughed lightly at the steamed buns, and several hired strong men behind him lifted the big silk bag from the car together.

He set up the bellows for striking iron, took off his shirt, gave enough money, and worked hard to do things, pulling the bellows with hula, filling this huge pocket with wind.

The rattan basket is sturdy, with a grease candle ready for steaming heat, which can be customized at any cost.

As the bellows pulled, the ordinary air entered the silk pocket, gradually swelled, and began to sway with the breeze.

At the lower caliber of the balloon, the flame has been lit, and the gondola is filled with sandbags, so you can take off when you throw the sandbags when the air gets hot.

Wherever they are near the flames, they are soaked in alum and soda, and they are not burned by fire.

July and autumn are high, the wind is not strong today, and the location is good, and the direction of the autumn wind will not blow into the Forbidden City.

Seeing that the entire large silk bag was unfolded, it was more than ten feet tall, pulling the hanging basket below and shaking it again and again.

The dozen or so nobles who watched the excitement were all dumbfounded, even if they were uneducated, they knew that if they continued like this, as long as they threw down the sandbags in the hanging basket, wouldn't they be able to fly?

Could it be ...... Can this thing really carry people to the ascension?

With a diameter of more than 40 meters, it is not small, and it is even more intuitive to expand at this time.

Under the balloon, people look small, and the huge shadow also hides an indescribable shock.

"Isn't this just an enlarged Kong Ming lantern?"

I don't know who muttered in the crowd, Liu Yu smiled: "Isn't it?" It's a pity that Kong Ming Lantern has long existed, but you can't think of making it bigger and more manned. Now the name of the first person in the world to ascend will fall on my head. In the future, it is good to say that a name can be left in the history books? ”

When it comes to leaving a name in the history books, the people next to him are all moved.

Yes, it's just an enlarged Kong Ming lantern, why can't you think of it? It seems that it is nothing more than made of silk cloth, and among these people present, which one of them does not have a thousand eight hundred taels of silver at home? These 1,800 taels of silver are enough for more than 100 small families to live on their own for more than a year, but for these noble families, it is just money leaking out of their fingers, how can they not think of it?

If you can really fly, then you really want to go down in history.

Liu Yu took the lead in jumping into the hanging basket and shouted: "Which one is willing to join me and be the first person in the world to ascend?" ”

As soon as he finished shouting, a group of people shouted me, me, and me at the top of their voices, but Tian Ping was smart, he didn't shout, and jumped directly into the hanging basket.

Don't look at him when he sees the horse hard and hears the soft gun, but his courage is not small, it is just a specific psychological shadow.

After jumping up, he bowed his hand to the rest of the people and said: "The building near the water gets the moon first, brothers, I flew first!" ”

The people below were all scolding Tian Ping for being cunning, or some shouted: "The stupid bird flies first!" ”

Liu Yu laughed, beckoned to the steamed buns, and motioned to untie the tied rope.

He and Tian Ping threw out all the sandbags in the hanging basket, and as the rope was untied, the huge silk bag really steamed off the ground with the heat.

Liu Yu naturally rode in civil aviation in his previous life, and he has seen a lot of soaring thousands of meters, but Tian Ping is the first time to truly experience the feeling that people can fly.

Holding the hanging basket of the balloon tightly with both hands, watching the ground under his feet getting farther and farther away, Tian Ping subconsciously stretched out the folding fan, and wanted to find a poem from the Tang and Song poems to express his feelings at this time.

But the fan was unfolded, but the mouth didn't know what to say, and it was stunned.

At this time, he couldn't find a suitable word, so he could only follow the mantra of Liu Yu that he learned in the past few days, and a thousand words turned into a sentence.

"Damn!! Did you really fly? ”

Seeing the fluttering leaves of the willow tree next to her, over the courtyard wall of the house next to her, the pomegranate tree hung with red fruits, a fat girl stood beside the fish tank and pointed at the big balloon and shouted loudly.

The bell tower and drum tower in the distance not far away were originally unattainable, but now they are at the foot.

Liu Yu was in high spirits, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the Forbidden City a hundred and ten meters away behind him.

Only halfway through his head, Tian Ping next to him grabbed him, and the folding fan in his hand snapped on Liu Yu's face.

"Brother, are you crazy?"

Without saying much, he grabbed Liu Yu with one hand, shook his head and said, "Look northwest!" ”

Liu Yu's face was slightly painful, but he also knew that Tian Ping was kind, and he slid on and said, "Shoot the wolf?" ”

"A fart wolf? Looking southeast, that's the liquid pool! That's a coal mountain! That's the Taihe Temple! Is that something we can look at condescendingly? You've lived enough, brother, I haven't lived enough! ”

Looking at the smoke curling in the distance, just under his feet facing the northwest, Tian Ping secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

My brain was hot just now, and I jumped in without even thinking about it. When I really flew, I thought of the terrible possibility - what if I fell into the Forbidden City?

Fortunately, the wind was in the right direction, he pulled Liu Yu, and Liu Yu was not allowed to look back uncontrollably, staring blankly at his classmates who looked like ants at his feet, and looked up at the high clouds.

The green tiles on the roofs of those houses have changed from clearly visible patches to a large patch; Those towering pavilions gradually turned into a small sculpture.

rafting on a pond in the distance; I once went to Hokke-an, where I burned incense; the gate of the Guogong Mansion where he once stopped; the Wanping County Ya that had made a fuss; the joy of laughter; Huguoji Temple that I once worshipped......

These things that have been seen or unseen have been condensed into a picture.

The capital on August 14 of the seventh year of Taixing was stretched out in the eyes of the two of them, just like Zhang Zeduan's picture of the river.

The slightly swaying hanging basket made Tian Ping, who had never climbed so high, a little dizzy, but she still held the edge of the hanging basket tightly, and she had forgotten the panic in the sky.

It's just that Ne said: "You are right, if Li Taibai is resurrected, he will compose a poem, and his pride will not be inferior to Shu Dao and Tianmu." ”

It's a pity that it is not Tianbao at this time, but the royal surname Li is not Tang, Tian Ping thought, if Li Taibai is here, riding the wind and rising a hundred feet, what kind of poems will he write?
