Chapter 483: Good News

The good news brought by the spies with the wind was indeed good news, and it was Bai Xiaode's good news, which was passed on to Bahuan City through the relay of several flying pigeons they brought.

Lianyunbao has changed his surname to Ning Yuan; The surprise attack on the city of Sindo was successful, and the successful capture of the little Bolu monarch Su failed, and the little princess of Tubo was also captured.

At the same time, Bai Xiaode also asked for reinforcements, and the Tubo soldiers, who were not afraid of death, actually ignored the food problem, and thousands of people chased them closely across the Tanju Territory until the city of Lianyunbao. For this battle, Bai Xiaode only expressed it in two words: total annihilation.

Putting down the good news, Li Huaitang breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that the chief general of Tibet has lost his mind and actually buried a large army for their little princess.

In fact, if you stand in the perspective of the Tibetan generals, you can completely understand his crazy actions, the eldest princess was captured by Ning Yuan Tieqi three times because of her marriage with the Tuqi Shi people, and she was humiliated, and now the little princess married Xiao Bolu and was captured again, what face does the big Tubo still have? How could he not be in a hurry? If the little princess is not rescued, Zampu will definitely be furious when he hears the news, and no matter what the reason, he will definitely be broken into pieces. Horizontal and vertical is death, Tubo will break the cauldron and sink the boat, desperately swing the army to cross the Tan Ju and lead thousands of lives to gamble. It is conceivable that Bai Xiaode will not give the other party a chance to fight quickly, shamelessly defend with danger, after a day and a night of fierce fighting, the Tubo people are exhausted and retreat, Bai Xiaode follows behind and chases, and the Tubo people are annihilated.

The army of the Tibetans was originally going to reinforce and strengthen the defense force of Lianyunbao, but after it was completely annihilated, they had to wait until next year to recapture this fortress, and it was not a matter of time or three to send another army and raise enough food, as well as a huge transport team to transport food, otherwise they could only repeat the mistakes of the past.

Li Huaitang thought for a moment, took a pen and paper and wrote a letter, 'handed' it to the agent who sent the letter, and asked him to take it back to the stronghold and pass the order to the protector through the flying slave. Before Xiao Bolu's action, Li Huaitang had arranged for a thousand tiger cavalry soldiers as backup, considering the importance of Lianyunbao and the food that was enough for thousands of people to eat, he agreed to Bai Xiaode's request, and sent another 2,000 people, these two thousand people will be stationed in the south of Lianyunbao with those captives, and they can climb up to the castle from the south cliff through the soft ladder at any time to support the defenders.

The good news brought by the wind really made Li Huaitang very happy, and as for another person who asked to see him, it was said that he was repaying the money, Li Huaitang felt confused, and he didn't seem to have lent money to anyone in his impression.

When he saw the person who came, he suddenly realized.

"Master Kong Ming?" Li Huaitang smiled dumbly. The person who came was Zhuge Xing, who received a gold coin from Ling'er last night, and rushed to pay back the money today, interesting, sincere enough!

Zhuge Xing smiled embarrassedly: "Where is the master, Zhuge Xing, who is in the lower mountain field, and uses the craftsmanship of his ancestors to earn two meals a day." ”

Zhuge Xing, Xing Zhuge , the name carries the ardent expectations of the fathers. However, the reality is cruel, and it is not easy for a commoner to rise up and revive the former glory of the family. Zhuge Xing's dream of Zhongxing has faded, and he has been reduced to a bleak and simple life, and he has to fight hunger and cold every day.

Zhuge Xing didn't expect the well-known Li Huaitang to be so talkative and approachable, and chatting with nature evoked his long-standing dream.

"Mr. Zhuge doesn't have to be discouraged, the so-called natural I will be useful, who knows what fate will be?" Li Huaitang smiled and comforted Zhuge Xing, he already had an idea for Kong Ming Lantern last night. Even if Zhuge doesn't come today, he will find the 'door' sooner or later.

"Come, let me see your Kong Ming lantern." Li Huaitang changed the topic, and also shifted Zhuge Xing's helpless sigh.

Compared with the most famous ancestors, Zhuge Xing is a real person. Conscience was restless all night because she received a gold coin from Ling'er Xiaoniang, and rushed to make ten Kong Ming lanterns overnight and sent them early in the morning.

"There are only a few Kong Ming lanterns. I can't afford to find money, so it's better to make ten Kong Ming lanterns every day and send them until the money is used up, how about it? Zhuge Xing suddenly rubbed his hands shyly, waiting for an answer.

"Haha, interesting!" Li Huaitang was noncommittal, and motioned to Zhuge Xing to follow him to the 'flower' garden with Kong Ming lanterns.

"Kong Ming lantern!" In the 'flower' garden, Pei Xiaoniang and Xiao Lian let out a cry of surprise, and a rising Kong Ming lantern attracted their attention.

As a Kong Ming lantern rose, more and more people gathered over, and even Linglong Shuangshu rushed over when they heard the sound.

"This is Kong Ming Lantern?" Although she is already a 'woman', in front of Kong Ming's lantern, Pei Xiaoniang and Linglong Shuangshu both showed the excitement of innocent children. Kong Ming Lantern has only been seen from afar, and it is all at night, today is the first time to face this object at close range, and it is inevitable to be 'excited'.

Zhuge Xing's Kong Ming lantern is very simple, mainly two parts, the upper part is a paper paste sealed lantern, under the lantern hangs a light basket, the basket contains a small 'fine' oil lamp, ignite the wick, heat into the paper lantern, for the entire Kong Ming lantern to provide upward power. Although Zhuge skillfully designed the structure of Kong Ming's lantern to be extremely simple, and the material was as light as possible, it was still heavy compared to that pitiful power. And the shortcomings are clear at a glance, the papier-mâché lantern is easy to catch fire or scorch after being heated, and it falls down if it does not rise high.

However, this did not affect the interest of several young ladies, and they all shouted to release them with their own hands.

"Wait!" Pei Xiaoniang seemed to remember something, and asked Xiao Lian to take the paper, pen and ink.

Li Huaitang thought of curiosity, pointed to a Kong Ming lantern in her hand and asked, "Can't you make it up?" ”

Pei Xiaoniang smiled, blinked her cunning beautiful eyes, and pouted: "Don't tell Li Lang!" ”

Don't tell Li Huaitang, Pei Xiaoniang didn't allow him to get close to see what she wrote on a piece of paper, and folded it into Kong Minglan's basket after writing. As a result, after Linglong Shuangshu saw it, she rushed to follow suit.

The three Kong Ming lanterns rose, and the three little ladies followed each other with attention, clasping their hands in front of the 'chest' and muttering words.

"Make a wish?" Li Huaitang asked with a smile.

"Shh Pei Xiaoniang frowned, pouting and complaining about the interference from Li Huaitang.

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed, and a Kong Ming lantern caught fire and fell in a blink of an eye.

"My wish ......" Long'er looked at the falling Kong Ming Lantern and only said half a sentence, with regret and regret.

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, I'll make you a stronger one next time." Zhuge Xing laughed guiltily.

Li Huaitang picked up the remaining basket and smiled absently. Strangely, Shang Long nervously ran forward and slashed his hand to grab it.

"Give it back!" Long'er jumped to grab a note in Li Huaitang's hand, which Li Huaitang found from the basket.

Li Huaitang laughed, avoided Long'er Niang, unfolded the note, and couldn't help but be happy when he saw it. I saw that the note read: God bless Long'er to get pregnant as soon as possible.

The note was finally taken back by Shang Long, Pei Xiaoniang didn't have time to gossip about the results, she asked Li Huaitang with a smile: "Li Lang, what are you laughing at?" What is Long'er Niang's promise? ”

"Don't say it!" Shang Long glared at Li Huaitang with shame and annoyance.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, don't be angry, it's as you want at night!" As soon as Li Huaitang said this, Pei Xiaoniang immediately understood, and then covered her mouth and snickered. Fortunately, Li Huaitang's voice was not loud, and outsiders didn't hear it, otherwise Shang Long would really hide his face and escape.

In the surprised eyes of everyone, Li Huaitang dodged Shang Long's powder fist, perhaps embarrassed, Li Huaitang quickly shifted the focus.

"Master Zhuge , your Kong Ming lantern is doing well, but it's too small, can you make one that can carry people?"

To Li Huaitang, the manned Kong Ming lantern was nothing more than a rudimentary hot air balloon, but to the audience of the Tang Dynasty, it was a terrifying concept.

"Carry, carry, manned?!" Zhuge Xing's tongue was knotted, and his head was petrified.

It's so ahead of its time, it's too sci-fi, it's unimaginable! Not only Zhuge Xing, but all those who were lucky enough to hear it looked at Li Huaitang inexplicably.

Li Huaitang 'touched' and 'touched' his face and asked, "Is there anything wrong?" Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"What does Li Lang want? How can this Kong Ming lantern fly when it is loaded with people? Pei Xiaoniang took the remaining Kong Ming lantern and kept comparing it to Li Huaitang, although she didn't believe it, but there was a trace of expectation in her heart, Ai Lang always had the ability to turn decay into magic.

"Well, this one doesn't work. I mean, change the papier-mâché skin to white cloth, this oil lamp, replace it with a coal stove, of course, all the materials have to be changed, and then make a large one that can hold the two of us, oh, no, it's three, no, four, uh, it's several, and we sit in it and go to the moon for nine days, and I heard that there is a beautiful Chang'e on the moon...... Oops, no, it's a thousand-year-old demon, an old woman. ”

All of Zhuge Xing's imagination was focused on the large Kong Ming lantern that Li Huaitang said in his mouth, green 'color', the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the more he thought about it, the more 'excited' he became, his eyes lit up, and he reached a state of complete immunity to the surrounding noise.

"White Diebu, coal, yes! How did I not think of that? "Some things are not unexpected, but they are too lazy to think about them, and even if there are creative sprouts, they will be stifled in the cradle because of poverty. A copper coin is not money, but it can stump heroes, improve, experiment, everything needs money. Zhuge Xing, who struggled for two meals, missed the best opportunity.

"The general is really a god and a man, Zhuge admires!" In retrospect, Zhuge Xing almost threw himself at Li Huaitang's five bodies. Kong Ming's lantern is just a toy in his hand, and he is even ashamed of himself, just such a gadget, when he meets Li Huaitang, he is like an old Taoist priest who is like an immortal, and once he attains Taoism, he goes straight to the sky from the ground.

"It's too much, I'm just thinking about it. Oh, you must know that it is easy to think about and difficult to do, and there are many technical difficulties to overcome, such as the fire prevention and leakage prevention of white cloth, etc., all the specific work is inseparable from Mr. Zhuge 's efforts. Li Huaitang rarely expressed his modesty.

Zhuge Xing was obviously not mentally prepared, perhaps because he was too 'excited', and his response was incoherent: "What does the general mean, me? I'm coming to Kong Ming Lantern? ”

Li Huaitang said with a smile: "Yes, I want to hire Mr. to Ningyuan, and the special 'door' is responsible for making this Kongming hot air balloon." I hope the sir does not refuse. ”

"Kong Ming hot air balloon?!" The crowd chewed on the new term repeatedly.

"Is Li Lang really going to make this Kong Ming hot air balloon?" Pei Xiaoniang's face was slightly red, she looked quite excited, and the 'temptation' and 'confusion' that flew to the sky to see deeply attracted her, not to mention that this was a part of her lover's heart.

Li Huaitang was resolute and replied in the affirmative.

Playing in the sky is just an impromptu joke with a beauty, and the real intention is to create an aerial eagle eye for Ning Yuan's iron horse, as a white 'jade' claw can not provide a detailed enemy situation.
