Chapter 802: Li Shimin's distrust
Li Chengqian and Cheng Yanjin, who were sitting in a hot air balloon, each holding a telescope and looking at any corner around them.
Suddenly, Cheng Yanjin shouted, "What's the matter! What's going on there? ”
His cry directly attracted Li Chengqian's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"A large number of troops came out of Chang'an City, heading in all directions, and I don't know who sent the soldiers!"
Li Chengqian took the telescope and looked in the direction pointed by Cheng Yanjin, and sure enough, it was so.
thought to himself, this Li Shimin really still believes in himself. Let yourself find the traces of Zhenguan Shencannon, and send troops out to find it.
Maybe wait for a while to get the Zhenguan Divine Cannon, and then hit them in the face.
"See, I think it's Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty doesn't trust His Royal Highness the Prince's judgment?"
Li Chengqian asked rhetorically: "If it were you, what would you think?" ”
Cheng Yanjin hesitated for a while, this is really not easy to think.
"I naturally believe in His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but it's just ......"
Cheng Biting Jin is still sincere, but it's just that.
Li Chengqian directly interrupted his place.
"Okay, there's no need to do it, this king knows."
Li Chengqian knew that his fortune telling was too mysterious, and no one believed it wherever he put it, even Cheng Biting Jin.
Not to mention that Li Shimin did such a thing, after all, this matter is a big deal, and if it is not done well, it will weaken Datang's advantage.
Influence the Tang Dynasty to conquer everything that is not subject to their existence.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......"
Cheng Yanjin was a little embarrassed.
"Don't say anything, this is human nature, you take a good look at this water, don't lose it!"
Li Chengqian said.
Cheng Yanjin had to touch his nose and start looking.
More than just now, the fresh energy of his hot air balloon ride passed quickly. What awaited was boring, but now it's impossible to think about it.
Novelty stuff is like that, and everybody thinks it's very interesting at first, and when you get acquainted with it, that's what it is.
It's been quite a while since they've been in the air, and the most they can do is look at everything below them with a telescope, which is very painstaking.
At the same time, 10,000 cavalry were marching along the Jing River on both sides of the Jing River below them.
The formation is very large, and the hot air balloon is their guide.
Another hour or so passed.
Cheng Yanjin said: "I've been flying for so long, and I haven't seen where the Zhenguan Divine Cannon is, His Royal Highness the Prince, is it a miscalculation!" ”
Su Lie directly corrected: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be miscalculated!" ”
"I'm just skeptical, after all, it's been so long! There is no hair! ”
Li Chengqian said angrily: "There are ten hours for the loss of this Zhenguan Divine Cannon, and in these ten hours alone, how far can people walk?" We have only been chasing for less than an hour, how can we catch up so quickly? ”
According to Li Chengqian's estimates, the speed of the hot air balloon can reach 30 kilometers per hour, two hours, exactly 60 kilometers and 120 miles, and before they set off, the thief was also walking, and at this time he had already jumped out of the place 80 miles away.
If you want to find it, it's probably this time.
"But it's getting dark, and if you don't find it before dark, it's even harder."
Cheng Biting Jin was not wrong, after all, as soon as it was dark, the cavalry below would not be able to recognize the location of the hot air balloon. And your own vision will also be greatly affected.
"I'll find it in a little while!"
Li Chengqian said with great certainty.
Cheng Yanjin had no choice but to say:
"Okay, I'll take a look!"
The space on the hot air balloon was too small, and Cheng Yanjin himself was a little aggrieved.
But this is what he chose, he was so excited just now, but now it is like this, which is really contemptible.
Li Chengqian also picked up the telescope and looked into the distance.
Suddenly, a ship came into his sight.
As soon as he saw the ship, he felt that there seemed to be something strange about it.
So he said, "Look there! ”
Following the direction pointed by Li Chengqian, the two looked at the location of the boat.
"The ship seems to be carrying a heavy load! It has to be it! ”
Cheng Yanjin exclaimed.
Look at the depth of the hull and the slowness of the ship.
Li Chengqian nodded, he seemed to see hope.
So he said, "I'm going to lower the height of the hot air balloon!" Catch it! ”
At the same time, Cheng Yanjin waved the yellow flag on the hot air balloon, which they had agreed in advance that if they found a target, they would wave the yellow flag.
As soon as the cavalry below saw that it was a yellow flag, they quickly gathered.
They also saw where the ship was.
So he ran away in the direction of the ship.
At the same time, the ship seems to have discovered their presence, and it seems to have become a little faster.
This made Li Chengqian even more sure that there must be something on this ship.
So, the hot air balloon was lowered to a low place, and this drop, the speed naturally decreased a lot.
As the hot air balloon was lowered, the people on board seemed to see the panic.
After all, when this thing suddenly appeared in the sky, everyone would feel uncomfortable.
Cheng Yanjin shouted loudly above:
"Listen, people on the ship, you are surrounded by us, acquaintances, stop the ship quickly! Otherwise die! ”
The people below pay no attention to them.
Instead, the ship went faster.
made Cheng Yanjin very unhappy.
"I'm really! I'm going down and killing them, and I don't have a piece of armor left!" ”
As soon as the words came out, the problem came.
Cheng Yanjin asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although we have caught up with the ship, how can we make them stop?" ”
What he said is not wrong, the width of the entire Jing River is about one kilometer, such a large river, the role of the cavalry is not at all, unless you follow all the way and don't let him go ashore, but what's the use? As soon as it gets dark, the boat can be cleared on the waterway, once it reaches a place where there is no road. Cavalry really didn't do anything at all.
At the same time, they are in the air, and they cannot reach the ship.
Even if you jump into the boat, you may fall into the water, and how to stop the boat is a problem.
"You don't have to worry about this, you'll use it in a moment!"
Li Chengqian pointed to the rattan stairway inside the hot air balloon.
Cheng Biting Jin will understand, it turns out that Li Chengqian has already prepared all this.
"That's great, do you want me and Su Lie to go down to the boat through this and intercept them?"
Li Chengqian nodded.
Cheng Yanjin laughed and said: "That dare is good, I like to do this kind of thing the most, this is suffocating on the hot air balloon, I have long wanted to go down to breathe." ”
This old thing is really depressing.
By the way, he also wants to kill all sides and refresh his muscles and bones.
"Alright, ready, this king is going to put the rattan ladder."
Li Chengqian looked at the height, and everything was about the same.
The two nodded in agreement, and when the rattan ladder was reached, they landed on the boat.
