Li Shimin didn't close his eyes all night, tossing and turning. The scene that Chengtianmen saw really shocked his soul and refreshed his three views.

Can people really fly?

Isn't a person who can fly an immortal?

Shocked at the same time, he was even more frightened. He was an excellent general, and he considered things from a different perspective than ordinary people. When Li Shimin saw the carriage flying in the sky, almost at the same time, a picture appeared in his mind.

If there were archers in that carriage and shooting arrows at the ground, how could the people on the ground resist?

If there is such a thing in the air in front of the two armies, wouldn't the arrangement of troops be perceived by the locality? If you bring a little more oil, you will throw it directly on the enemy's grain and grass

This thing is so scary! If the enemy army has it, it will be a nightmare for Datang!

How could Li Mu invent this thing, and what was his original intention in inventing this thing? All kinds of doubts filled Li Shimin's heart, how could he sleep.

Time passed in a flash, and the sky lit up with the white of the fish's belly. Li Shimin got up and called Father-in-law Gao, who responded and appeared in front of Li Shimin's couch ghostly.

Li Shimin rubbed the bridge of his swollen nose and asked, "Isn't there any news yet?" ”

Gao Gonggong knew who Li Shimin was asking, and replied softly: "I haven't replied yet." ”

Li Shimin was a little impatient, and was about to speak, when Gonggong Gao suddenly saw a figure flickering outside the palace gate, and hurriedly confessed and came to the door.

A little eunuch leaned into Gonggong Gao's ear and whispered a few words, Gonggong Gao waved his hand, closed the door of the palace, returned to Li Shimin's bed, and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhulu has arrived at the gate of the palace." ”

"Hurry up!"

"Your Majesty, it's not yet time for the palace gate to open."

Li Shimin said angrily: "I said to announce it quickly! Can't understand the words? It's dawn, is there still an hour and a half left? What does your head do when you grow up, and you don't know how to be flexible at all?! ”

"No."

Gao Gonggong answered, turned around and went out, and just when he arrived at the door, Li Shimin stopped him and said, "The carriage he took also brought, I want to see it." ”

Father-in-law Gao should come down and call the palace people to serve Li Shimin to dress, and he went to the palace gate. The rules cannot be changed, and the palace gate cannot be opened until the hour. But Li Shimin was in a hurry, so he had to think of a workaround, and he had to use a hanging basket to hang Li Mu in.

Gao Gonggong's movements were still very fast, Li Shimin got dressed here, and he didn't eat two bites of breakfast yet. Father-in-law Gao brought Li Mu over.

Li Shimin was drinking porridge, and when he saw Gonggong Gao bringing Li Mu in, a mouthful of porridge squirted out. I saw that Li Mu was gray-headed, and the clothes on his body were also burned to the holes everywhere, if it wasn't for the high prince to bring him, Li Shimin would have treated him as a Kunlun slave doing hard work in the West City.

"Li Mu, how did you do this? Let the thunder split? ”

Li Mu rolled his eyes and didn't say anything. wiped his face and turned the ashes straight.

Li Shimin got up and came to Li Mu, raised his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "You let Lei be stupid?" What the hell is going on, say! ”

Li Mu still refused to speak, Li Shimin had no choice but to look at Gonggong Gao and asked, "What's going on!" ”

Gonggong Gao couldn't help but smile and said, "Back to Your Majesty, I just met with General Chang He." That's what General Chang He said, and they followed the carriage all the way east to Longshouyuan. Suddenly, the carriage stopped moving, and then a fire broke out, and they hurried over, and when they saw that the carriage was hanging from a tree, they tried their best to save it. Zhuluhou braided a rope and put his wife down first, and then the carriage suddenly caught fire, and Zhuluhou was burned like this. ”

Li Mu glanced at Grandpa Gao, and finally spoke: "Grandpa Gao, if you laugh out loud, we will break off our relationship." ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly closed his mouth, but Li Shimin didn't care about this, and laughed. He instructed Gonggong Gao to prepare bath water for Li Mu, and asked someone to move a chair to the table and serve him a bowl of porridge. He guessed that Li Mu would enter the palace directly, and he would definitely not have time to eat breakfast, so he prepared one more person when he passed the meal.

Li Mu raised his sleeves, turned over the lining, picked up a clean place and wiped his mouth, a black face, only wiped out a piece near his mouth, it looked as funny as it was. A bowl of porridge was wiped out in one bite, Li Mu glanced at the things on the table, licked his lips, and said, "Your Majesty, you are too thrifty, even if you don't have meat, you don't even have an egg!" ”

Li Shimin raised his hand, called a little eunuch, and ordered: "Go to the imperial dining room to see if there is any meat and eggs, and bring them to the Marquis of Zhulu." ”

The little eunuch took the order and left, but Li Mu frowned, he glanced at Li Shimin, and said vigilantly: "Your Majesty, why are you suddenly so good to your ministers?" It's okay if you don't eat it. ”

"Don't you eat it, you still say?"

"The minister habitually complains, and the minister eats every meal at home."

Li Shimin snorted and said, "Are you showing off your wealth with me?" ”

"The minister is just telling the truth, no way, this is the condition at home." Li Mu sighed and said, "In the past, the ministers also wanted to save money. Later, I thought about it, what is the use of saving money, maybe it will be gone one day, it is better to spend the flowers, the scourge of the scourge, you can still eat and use a little"

"You don't need to point at Sang and scold Huai, I know what you mean." Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu's words, and said angrily: "I have already said it, I will change, you are not finished yet?" Do you have to apologize to you so that you are satisfied? ”

"I don't dare." Li Mu hurriedly stopped, he still understood the truth that a companion is like a tiger, it's almost enough, it really provoked Li Shimin, and he was the one who suffered.

"Tell me what's going on."

"Alas!"

Li Mu sighed heavily, thinking of this, he was upset. Speaking of which, I was also unlucky to get home, last night, I changed my wedding dress in Li Zhien. After the two of them finished worshipping each other, they were about to enter the theme when there was a sudden bang, and the carriage hit the tree!

Li Mu hurriedly probed out to see, only to find that the two of them had been worshipping heaven and earth, and the hot air balloon had flown out of Chang'an City and came to the boundary of Longshouyuan.

Longshouyuan is also called Longshou Mountain, legend has it that in ancient times, there was a black dragon from Fanchuan winding north to the Wei River to drink water, the trace turned into Longshouyuan, because the west end rises abruptly from the side of the Wei River, the momentum is like the dragon's head and gets the name. Since the Qin and Han dynasties, this place has been selected as the foundation site of the palace many times. Qin Xingle Palace, Han Weiyang Palace leaning on the north slope of the dragon head to build. In the Sui period, Chang'an City was built in the south of Longshouyuan. Longshouyuan also became the boundary between the Sui and Tang capitals and the Qin and Han capitals.

The terrain here is much higher than that of Chang'an City, and it is precisely for this reason that the hot air balloon, which is more than 30 meters above the ground, hit the tree when it flew to Longshou Mountain.

The branches had broken through the leather, and the hot air balloon had leaked and hung on the branches.

In this case, no matter how big Li Mu's heart is, he can't carry it out. Fortunately, the tree is very strong, and the rope hanging from the hot air balloon is also strong, so you don't have to worry about falling all at once. When the guards arrived, the rope that had been removed from the cover came into play, and Li Mu tied the rope around Li Zhien's waist and smoothed her down first. But when it was his turn to go down, Li Mu's heart moved.

Last night, he stole the limelight from Li Shimin. And when the hot air balloon is seen by him, it is bound to produce a lot of associations.

Li Mu is not afraid of Li Shimin's association, because he made this thing out just to use it, and he can't hide it sooner or later, and he doesn't want to hide it. His only fear was that Li Shimin would doubt his loyalty. For this day and age, the power from the air is absolutely overwhelming. Not only Li Shimin, but any emperor who has changed cannot but be worried.

So, he's going to make it funny and ridiculous. In order to dilute Li Shimin's concerns about him, he wanted Li Shimin to think that the birth of the hot air balloon was unintentionally planted willows, not deliberately.

So, he knocked over the big iron basin with charcoal.

There was also a fire inside, and if it fell into the wooden carriage, the consequences can be imagined. The flames rose into the air and exploded on the ground.

Li Mu originally thought that when the flames lit up, he would have gone down a long time ago. I didn't expect the flames to explode so quickly, and I was caught off guard all of a sudden.

If he hadn't consciously covered his handsome face, he would probably have been disfigured at this time.

Pity the tiger fur, Mao'er is all burned. The fire spread to the trees, burned them down, and when they were extinguished, only the large iron basin containing charcoal remained, and the rest were only scorched earth.

After Li Mu finished telling Li Shimin the half-truths and half-truths he had made, Li Shimin couldn't help laughing again. He didn't have any doubts, because the story Li Mu told was completely tailored to his personality. In order to please women, he can do such a thing as making a hot air balloon.

After laughing, Li Shimin restrained his expression and said seriously: "Li Mu, did you build this hot air balloon just to get married?" ”

Li Mu blinked his eyes, showing the innocent ** who had already been perfected, and said in a daze: "Your Majesty, the minister didn't understand what you meant." ”

Li Shimin was kind and inducing: "Think about it, if it is in front of the two armies? ”

Li Mu was still at a loss, and Li Shimin hurriedly said, "Why don't you understand!" If the two armies are in front of the formation, and our archers are in the sky, will they not be invincible? ”

Li Mu laughed out loud and said, "Your Majesty, are you confused, or am I confused." How to be invincible? This thing can fly thirty or forty meters, and our arrows can hit the enemy, but the enemy's arrows can't shoot us? Besides, no matter how much we are in the sky, we can't hide, and the enemy can still hide on horseback, if we fight like this, it seems that the enemy is invincible, right? ”

"Ugh"

Li Shimin was choked, and he pondered it carefully, as if what Li Mu said made sense. But on the instinct of a general, he still thinks that hot air balloons will not be so useless.

Frowning and thinking about it, Li Shimin said again: "Can't you fly higher anymore?" The range of the bow and crossbow is no more than 100 meters, and the lethality of the bow and crossbow drops sharply. Shoot into the sky, at most sixty or seventy meters, as long as we can fly to sixty or seventy meters, we still win. ”

Li Mu frowned and pretended to be thoughtful, and muttered: "Your Majesty, the minister has not tried, I don't know if I can fly so high." If Your Majesty is interested, you can make another hot air balloon, and let's try it to see if it will work. ”

"Do!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up: "I also want to try what it's like to fly to the sky!" ”
