On the official road from Zhenjiang to Nanjing, a team of brocade guards escorted several carriages all the way, and Li Jie lay in one of the carriages with his eyes closed, in fact, he was not sleepy at all, but just to escape Hu Jiang's entanglement.

Although Hu Jiang is a wall-to-wall grass, Li Jie actually doesn't have much bad feelings towards him, after all, there are too many people in this world who tend to be inflammatory, and Hu Jiang is not worse than Hu Jiang, and Hu Jiang's daughter is a person who values love and righteousness, and he also owes the other party a favor, but the more so, the more he can't agree to marry the other party!

Compared with Li Jie, Yuan Jian Zheng and the three of them are not in a good condition, Yuan Jian is not injured when he landed, but he was frostbitten when he was at high altitude, and because of his extreme fear of heights, it also caused him some physical and mental damage, and now he has a little fever, and the doctor has prescribed medicine to him after seeing it, and it is estimated that he will have to recuperate for a while.

Guo Zhenglin injured his forehead, it was nothing at first, but after a night's rest, he was a little dizzy and nauseous, probably a little concussion, fortunately he was young, it should be fine. As for Maha's leg injury, the bones are fine, but it is estimated that it will take ten days and a half months to recover, so they all rest in their own carriages.

"Five miles away from Beijing, Your Majesty led the crowd to greet you in front of the city gate!" Suddenly, I only heard someone outside the car shouting loudly, which made Li Jie sit up all of a sudden.

"Brother Li, are you awake, Your Majesty actually went out of the city to greet us!" An excited voice outside the car window shouted at Li Jie's side.

Li Jie opened the car window and saw Guo Zhenglin who was excited in the carriage opposite, his forehead was bandaged with a white cloth, but his face was full of red light, and it seemed that there should be nothing wrong with his body.

Without waiting for Li Jie to speak, the window of the carriage behind him was suddenly pushed open, and he saw Ma Hama's face excited, and his lips trembled: "Your Majesty...... Is Your Majesty coming? ”

"The impact of flying is huge, it is unprecedented, and Your Majesty must be curious to know what we see in the sky!" At this time, the window of the other carriage opened, and Yuan Jianzheng, whose face was still a little pale, also said excitedly.

Li Jie also nodded in agreement when he heard this, no matter where in the world, flying has been the dream of human beings since ancient times, but Li Jie achieved this dream in front of Zhu Yuanzhang and hundreds of people, for Daming, this is a good opportunity to unite people's hearts, and for Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he must also be very curious about things in the sky, so it is not strange to go out of the city to greet him.

A few miles away in a blink of an eye, when Li Jie and their team came to the city gate, they also saw the team in front of the city gate at a glance, a car was caught up in the middle, Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a dragon robe standing on the car, and hundreds of civil and military officials were also lined up on both sides, and there were countless people watching behind.

Seeing such a grand scene, Li Jie and the others were also taken aback, even if they knew in advance that Zhu Yuanzhang would come to greet them, they didn't expect that there would be so many people, which made all four of them get out of the carriage, among which Yuan Jian Zheng still needed someone to support him, but at this time, he also tried to tidy up his clothes.

Then Li Jie and the four of them walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's car and saluted: "Long live the ministers, long live, long live my emperor!" ”

"You don't have to be polite!" Zhu Yuanzhang also laughed.

Li Jie and their flight had a huge impact, and the entire capital was boiling, because Li Jie and the four of them were all officials, so this action represented the Ming Dynasty and the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, which also made Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige go further, and everyone praised Zhu Yuanzhang as a saint sent by God!

"Your Majesty, the minister has lost, Li Sijian is right, after rising to a high altitude, the earth has begun to appear in arcs, although you can't see the whole picture, but you can already judge that the earth is indeed a spherical shape!" At this time, Yuan Jian stepped forward alone and saluted again, but he did not show any frustration when he spoke, because this experience had made him gain more.

"Is the earth really a ball?" Zhu Yuanzhang was also surprised again when he heard this, and then looked at Li Jie in admiration, and his evaluation of Li Jie in his heart was also higher.

"Your Majesty, Yuan Jian Zheng and I are only in an academic dispute, and after liftoff, he also helped me control the hot air balloon, the misunderstanding between us has been resolved, please cancel the previous bet with Your Majesty!" Li Jie also took the initiative to step forward at this time.

When they were on the hot air balloon, Li Jie and Yuan Jianzheng were also considered to live and die together, and after two days of understanding, his nature was not bad, but he was a little more stubborn academically, plus Yuan Jianzheng was older than his father Li Zhu, so it was too difficult for him to let the other party be his apprentice.

Eunuch Yuan also showed a grateful look to Li Jie when he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang was on the rise, and when he heard Li Jie's request, he immediately nodded and said: "That's it, since you don't care about it, I don't have to be this bad guy, give me a car, and accompany me back to the palace!" ”

With Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions, Li Jie and the four people were invited to get on a car, and followed the dragon into the city, both sides of the street were full of people watching the excitement, when they saw the four of them enter the city, it attracted a lot of people to cheer, after all, many people saw the four of them ride a hot air balloon to the sky that day, and some people even kneeled down as gods.

The carriage drove all the way into the imperial city, and Zhu Yuanzhang originally set up a banquet in the Huagai Hall for Li Jie and the four of them, but when he saw that Yuan Jian was sick and injured by the three of them, he canceled the banquet and set up a banquet three days later, and then arranged for the imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Yuan Jianzheng and them, and sent them to rest at home.

However, Li Jie was stayed, and then together with Zhu Biao, accompanied Zhu Yuanzhang to Dongnuan Pavilion.

"Throne!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and someone immediately brought a chair to Li Jie.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Jie was not polite, and sat down after saluting.

"Have you ever met a god in the sky, and is there a dwelling place for a god in the sky?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were shining, and he seemed to be a little impatient to ask.

"Huh?" Li Jie didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to ask such an unobtrusive question, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally replied, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have not met immortals. ”

"No immortals?" Zhu Yuanzhang showed a disappointed look when he heard this.

Li Jie didn't know why, as far as he knew, although Zhu Yuanzhang had been a monk, he was not an emperor who believed in gods and Buddhas, but why was he so obsessed with immortals now?

In contrast, Zhu Biao next to him knew his father's thoughts, so he also persuaded softly at this time: "Father, the whereabouts of the immortals are ethereal, where can ordinary people easily see them?" The queen mother has a spirit in the sky, and she will definitely be able to understand her father's painstaking efforts! ”

Li Jie suddenly woke up when he heard Zhu Biao's words, Lao Zhu missed Queen Ma, if there were really immortals in this world, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang would still be able to see Queen Ma's spirit in the sky.

I saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, and did not ask about the immortals again, but looked at Li Jie and said: "Li Jie, you offered firearms and clairvoyance before, and today you have a flying move, several merits are added together, I will also have a heavy reward, if you have any requirements, you can also put it forward!" ”

Li Jie was also excited when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he was waiting for this moment, but then he was a little entangled: Is it too early to make Princess Shang's request now? What if Lao Zhu doesn't agree?
