Chapter 334: Doing What We Say
Li Shimin rode to the camp gate, the army also lined up on both sides, and the armies in other directions were also ready to attack, for Li Shimin, no matter whether Li Xiu could escape with people or not, he would not wait any longer, after all, the Turks could go south at any time, and he must solve the internal insecurity before this, so that he could deal with the Turks with all his might!
"Your Highness, it's not too early, are you going to attack now?" At this moment, I suddenly saw Cheng Biting Jin Zema coming to Li Shimin's side and asking, when Li Shimin was not there before, he was the commander of this army, and now he is also responsible for commanding this attack. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Wait a minute, I still want to see what tricks Li Xiu has?" Li Shimin was silent for a moment and spoke, in fact, he was also hesitating at this time, because he knew that as long as he gave the order, it would be equivalent to completely tearing his face with the third sister Princess Pingyang, although he had ordered the whole army in advance that no one should harm Princess Pingyang, but no one in the chaotic army dared to guarantee that there would be an accident.
I saw that after Li Shimin finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of another thing, and then he groaned for a moment and spoke again: "Zhijie, what is Shubao doing during this time?" ”
"This ......" As soon as Li Shimin asked about Qin Qiong, Cheng Yanjin immediately showed a hesitant expression, and only after a while did he speak, "Your Royal Highness, Shubao has been closed for this time, I once went to look for him, but he said that it was inconvenient to see him with old injuries, so I couldn't see him in the end." ”
Cheng Yanjin also kept observing Li Shimin's face when he spoke, and he was also very worried in his heart, the last time Li Shimin ambushed Li Jiancheng's brothers in Xuanwu Gate, almost all of them participated in these Tiance Mansion generals, Qin Qiong, as one of Li Shimin's most trusted generals, was naturally informed in advance, but what no one expected was that although Qin Qiong went that day, he was drunk and smoked, and he didn't make any effort in the whole process, which made Li Shimin also very annoyed.
"Hmph, it's a good old injury, so let him stay in the house to recuperate!" When Li Shimin heard this, a trace of anger flashed on his face, Qin Qiong was one of his most trusted generals, but this person he trusted the most stood by and watched when he needed help the most, which was simply a betrayal for him, so he deliberately snubbed Qin Qiong during this time, and almost didn't let him participate in everything anymore.
"Your Highness is angry, Uncle Bao is just brainless, sometimes the whole person can't turn around when he gets into the tip of the horns, so he will do some foolish things, please forgive me!" Cheng Yanjin hurriedly pleaded with Li Shimin.
Qin Qiong is his best brother, and he also knows that the reason why Qin Qiong did not help Li Shimin when he was in Xuanwumen was mainly because Qin Qiong felt that fratricidal brotherhood was really against human morality, so he didn't want to be Li Shimin's accomplice, but as a courtier, he obviously offended Li Shimin by doing so.
"Hmph, you don't have to speak for him, this king won't be stingy with his own people!" Li Shimin said angrily again at this time, although he was angry with Qin Qiong, but thinking of Qin Qiong's previous achievements for him, he would not ask Qin Qiong for his crimes, but he was very unhappy with Qin Qiong's actions.
Just when Li Shimin was talking to Cheng Yanjin, he suddenly heard someone in the army exclaim, and then everyone looked at the sky opposite, which made Li Shimin also stunned, the soldiers behind him were all veterans who had been tempered for thousands of years, what could make them so surprised?
With this question, Li Shimin also followed everyone's gaze, but when he saw the situation in the distance, he also stood on the spot, only to see that in the air a few miles away on the opposite side, there was a huge ball floating, and it slowly floated towards them along the wind, looking like a very low dark cloud.
"This ...... What is this? Li Shimin looked at the huge sphere slowly floating on the opposite side, and couldn't help but ask in shock, when he saw this huge sphere, his first reaction was the Kong Ming lantern, but the size of this Kong Ming lantern was also too big, just like the legendary Kunpeng.
"Your Highness, there seems to be something under that ball!" At this moment, Cheng Yanjin next to him also shouted. Following the direction he pointed out, Li Shimin also looked carefully, and sure enough, he found a basket-like thing under the ball, which seemed to be connected to the big ball by some ropes, so that it could fly up with the big ball, and what shocked him even more was that there seemed to be someone standing in the basket.
"Li Xiu!" When Li Shimin saw the person in the basket under the ball, he immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help but whisper in shock and annoyance, no wonder Li Xiu was so sure that he could take someone out at any time, but unfortunately he didn't expect Li Xiu to be able to fly with someone by all means.
"It's really Li Xiu, and there is another person next to him, who looks like ...... The King of Anlu County! Cheng bit the tip of his golden eyes, and at this time not only recognized that there was not only Li Xiu standing in the basket, but also Li Chengdao next to Li Xiu.
Compared with the shock of the people below, Li Xiu in the sky looked at the land under his feet with a smile, although this hot air balloon did not fly high, only about one or two hundred meters away from the ground, it was like standing on a high-rise building in the future and looking around, houses, farmland, military camps, etc. were all under his feet, which made people's pride come to life.
"First...... Sir, this hot air balloon won't fall, will it? But at this moment, I suddenly saw Li Chengdao holding the rope with both hands, and asked Li Xiu with a pale face.
"Why, you were scared so quickly, where did your courage run just now?" Li Xiu looked at Li Chengdao, whose face was pale, and couldn't help but smile.
After the hot air balloon was made, it had not undergone any tests at all, although it was theoretically feasible, but even Li Xiu was not sure whether it could fly, and even if it did, it was not necessarily safe, so he wanted to come up alone, as long as he floated outside to see Li Shimin, then he succeeded, but Li Chengdao had to bear the danger with him, so in the end, Li Xiu could only let him come up, fortunately, this hot air balloon was still face-saving, and it had flown well so far.
"I ...... Of course I'm not scared, it's just that it makes me dizzy! Li Chengdao is hard-mouthed, if Li Xiu is not counted, he should be the first Tang man to fly to the sky, and this feeling of not being able to step on the ground with both feet can easily make people panic, just like a fish leaving the water, especially Li Chengdao is still a little afraid of heights, and he has not dared to look down since he flew.
"Don't worry, the hot air balloon is actually very safe, as long as the airbag on our top does not directly burst or catch fire, as for the air leakage or something, there is no need to worry about it, it will slowly fall to the ground, don't worry about injury at all!" Li Xiu smiled and comforted.
In fact, Li Xiu is also riding a hot air balloon for the first time, and most of his understanding of hot air balloons comes from books or later film and television dramas, of course, he also knows that when a hot air balloon flies in the air, it will actually encounter other dangers such as strong winds, but in order to make Li Chengdao feel at ease, he doesn't need to explain too clearly.
Just as they were talking, the wind also sent their hot air balloon to the heads of Li Shimin and the others, which was also calculated by Li Xiu a long time ago, of course, their luck was also very good, at least the wind direction did not change much.
At that moment, Li Xiu poked his head out of the hanging basket made of bamboo, looked at Li Shimin below with a smile, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I said that I want to leave and no one can stop me, can you believe it now?" ”
"Li Xiu!" When Li Shimin looked up and saw Li Xiu's hateful smiling face, he couldn't help roaring angrily, and after speaking, he stretched out his hand to take off his bow and arrow, and bent his bow and arrow at Li Xiu above his head is arrow.
Li Shimin's strength is amazing, he used a super strong four-stone bow, but as a result, he shot an arrow, and immediately rushed out like lightning, but when the arrow shot up, it was easily affected by gravity, and the more it went up, the more powerless it was, and finally this arrow barely flew in front of Li Xiu, but it was already the end of the strong crossbow.
What was even more unexpected was that Li Xiuyi stretched out his hand and grabbed the arrow, then looked at it and smiled at Li Shimin again: "His Royal Highness King Qin, I think you still don't have to waste your efforts, this hot air balloon of mine can rise higher at any time, but it is inconvenient to talk to you, and you look behind me!" ”
Li Xiu said and pointed to the direction he had just flown over, which also made Li Shimin turn his head to look again, only to see that in the distance in mid-air, there were still six or seven hot air balloons floating, but these hot air balloons did not fly over, and it looked like they should be pulled by the rope below.
"What the hell do you mean, who are those hot air balloons?" Seeing those hot air balloons in the distance, and then looking at Li Chengdao beside Li Xiu, Li Shimin suddenly had a very bad premonition, as if everything was out of his control.
"Hehe, it's not interesting, it's just that King Qin really wants to discuss these things with me in front of the army?" Li Xiu said with a smile again, at this time, the hot air balloon he was riding had already floated over the heads of Li Shimin and others, and was drifting in the direction of the barracks, if it didn't fall, I was afraid that it would float directly over the barracks, after all, Li Xiu couldn't control the direction of the hot air balloon.
"Good! We'll talk when you fall! Li Shimin turned his head to look at the soldiers around him, and finally gritted his teeth and said, although these soldiers are his descendants, some things are really inconvenient to say in front of these people, especially he doesn't want to admit defeat to Li Xiu in front of others.
"Good! Chengdao extinguishes! Li Xiu agreed very happily when he heard this, and then saw Li Chengdao carrying a bag of sand and extinguishing the stove on it, as if he was not worried about Li Shimin's disadvantage to him after falling, you must know that he is one of the threats that Li Shimin wants to get rid of the most?
