Chapter 90: Covering Your Eyes and Looking at the Sky (Part II)
Snowflake-shaped pieces of paper flew in the air, and Lan Qi was sure that there must be someone on top of that monster, and she couldn't help but envy the people above. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"If you fly so high, you will definitely see a different scenery......
She likes to climb mountains, and has climbed many mountains, and every time she climbs to the top of the mountain and overlooks the world, she always has a feeling that the world is in her eyes.
However, where the famous mountains are high, they must be far away from the city; In the same way, the place where the city is prosperous must be on the plain by the river.
Unfortunately, there is nothing more than this, the famous mountains are sparsely populated, but if you talk about the world, the world without people is dead after all.
So when Lan Qi saw the monster in the sky that was obviously human, what she thought of was not surprise, but envy that the eyes of the person above could see the scenery that others couldn't.
She was eager to see what was written on the pieces of paper, but the pieces flew somewhere else, and only a white flower slowly fell above her head.
He flicked the reins, and his eyes were fixed on the place where the white flower was about to fall, just like the novelty and anticipation of chasing the first prey of his life when he hunted for the first time. The first prey was a little rabbit, and she hunted many wild beasts later, but she never forgot the fluffy little rabbit.
The flowers are fluttering, and there will be a time for them to fall.
When she got closer, Lan Qi saw that it was a piece of white cloth, sewn into an umbrella with ropes, and a small box underneath.
It made her even more convinced that there must be someone up there, and that she was a very quirky but bold and funny person, who had tried to jump off the roof with a few umbrellas when she was a child, and had forgotten it after all these years, but this time it brought back memories of her childhood.
Because of this memory, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Finally, the white umbrella landed on a plane tree, which was not very tall, and hung on it. The wooden box underneath swayed back and forth.
Looking at the height of the branches, Lan Qi reined in the horse, her soft legs bent slightly, and her arms stood firmly on the saddle.
The steed heard the master's order and did not dare to move. Standing on the horse's back, he stretched out his hand and tried it, but he was still half a foot short, so he stretched out his toes and hooked up the light sword next to the saddle by leaning on the boot thorn on the back of the riding boots.
The sword made a wonderful curve in the air, and the slender fingers grasped the hilt steadily, and with a slight flick of the wrist, he took the white umbrella and the wooden box in his hand, and sat down again on the horse's back with agility and lightness, and with a light kick in the horse's belly, the horse paced obediently into the shade of the tree.
"It's an ugly wooden box, with rough workmanship, and it's made of common trees."
I casually commented on this wooden box, which is not bad for most people, and when I opened it, I found that there was a layer of wooden box inside, and there was some cotton filled in the middle, probably because I was worried about being broken.
Opening the wooden box inside, there was a piece of paper inside, and a small mirror embedded in the wooden box that she had never seen so bright.
Just at a glance, I could see that this mirror was better than the mirrors I had ever seen, much brighter and more clearly illuminated, even the sweat beads on my face were glinting, and the sunlight in the gaps in the leaves could be felt.
"Such a good mirror, but in the company of such a crude wooden box. Who knows that a seemingly destitute and poor person does not have such a bright heart? ”
muttered to himself, curiously unfolded the paper in the wooden box, and read it roughly, which was full of Mincheng, Nan'an, or glass mirrors, and there would be an exhibition somewhere in the capital, and his expression was a little suddenly realized.
When she unfolded the paper and saw a few words in it that she often heard in letters or from friends, she took it for granted, and she was no longer surprised even by the surprise she had just had. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that the moment she saw the flying monster and confirmed that there was someone on it, the first thought that flashed through her mind was whether it would be a new trick made by the person who had only heard the name many times, and this thought was confirmed so quickly that she felt a little less incredibly anticipating.
After reading it, I couldn't help but take a sip and said, "Don't do your job." I only thought that you were really busy with business in the school palace, and I didn't expect you to use all your thoughts here. ”
I made a note of the address where the new gadgets were displayed, and I thought I'd go to see the place when it was time for a few days.
I put the simple white cloth umbrella and wooden box in the saddle bag and put it away, and thought, "I can replace that ivory-backed vanity mirror mirror with this." ”
…………
At the same time, the envoys of the Qi State were receiving them under the reception of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and walked along the widest street of the capital to where they should go.
Naturally, they also saw the monster flying in the air, a young nobleman from Qi was amazed, and the officials of the Huaxia Rite Department who were traveling with him also secretly smacked their tongues, but they didn't make a strange look, they just took it as commonplace.
It's just that they pretend to be commonplace, but they can't let the envoys of the Qi State also pretend to be commonplace, and the young nobleman couldn't help but ask the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were accompanying him side by side, "What is that?" ”
How did that young Ministry of Rites official know? But since the other party asked, it was not good not to answer, let alone appear that he was actually surprised.
Fortunately, this official is young and has been in the army for a few years, so he turned his head and looked at the round monster in the sky, and said in a hurry: "Don't be surprised, it's just a flying ball." ”
This flying ball obviously can't say that he is talking nonsense, if the other party takes it as a name, it is a name, if it is not a name, he can explain that it is just a ball flying into the sky, no matter how you look at it, it is not wrong.
The young nobleman of the Qi Kingdom took a deep breath and said curiously: "Is there someone up there?" What is it for? ”
The officer questioned understood that there were occasions - especially this one - it was not necessarily necessary to tell the truth, but rather to be more vactual.
So he replied: "There are naturally people on it, China is thousands of miles long, and the big river is meandering." The scenery and people are all out of the big river, and we have seen a lot of them for a long time. What is this...... Well, it's just for checking the enemy's situation. Such as forts, forts, marches, and armies...... Look high and see at a glance. Wouldn't it be convenient to draw a picture album or command on the spot? ”
A sentence of nonsense shocked the young nobles of Qi Country to nod again and again, but they were shocked in their hearts, and even appeared on their faces on this occasion.
If there is such a thing, it will be raised and overlooked when the battle is due...... Where is the city wall where there are many people? Where is the weakness of the fortress? Where is the system a disadvantage? Is there any irregularity in the formation? Isn't all this a sight to behold?
In the Unification War that year, there was a very important battle because of the misjudgment of the commander: the Chinese side placed the main force on the flank, but with the help of the cover of the hillside, and the obviously weak Chinese army platoon was very wide, so that the opponent's line of sight was blocked, and the main force was mistakenly thought to be in the Chinese army, so that it fell into a half-moon-shaped encirclement and the whole army was annihilated.
If there was such a thing, then the outcome would not be known. As a young man who has been named a nobleman for his military merits, he knows too well the role of this thing, especially the position of the enemy's artillery and cavalry - there has always been a saying in the army, if a general can fly in the air and have the eyes to see the entire battlefield from top to bottom, then he may not be a good marshal, but he must be a good general.
The more the young Qi nobles thought about it, the more uneasy they became, knowing that this time they would inevitably see Huaxia Zhengshuo's military exercises, but they didn't expect that the other party had already started it soon after they had just penetrated.
Faced with this dismount that he did so much, after thinking about it for a while, he wanted to knock on the side, so he smiled and said, "This is indeed a strange thing. The school palace is here, there are many strange things, and I am so young and dull that I can't even guess how this flies. But Mr. Xuemiya's handiwork? ”
Where did the young Ministry of Rites officials know? But he is quite vigilant, he doesn't know if there is someone above, but he has enough vigilance, and he said that if there is really someone above, he must come from the school palace, and I don't know what this thing is for, but if it is of any use or they probe it, I am afraid that I am guilty.
So he shook his head and said, "What is in the army, how do I know?" There are so many strange skills in the learning palace, how can they fly in the sky? ”
A few words bypassed the topic and avoided talking about it, but he was muttering in his heart, why didn't anyone tell the Ministry of Rites that there would be such a thing today? I don't know if it's appropriate to deal with it, but it's good to let me know in advance......
…………
The young men of the Ministry of Rites indiscriminately blamed this strange incident on the military, and made potential enemies think that the military had greatly increased its strength, and it was very long-faced.
However, the real military figures did not know how to deal with this monster, especially the Yulin guards who were stationed at the gates of the royal palace, the hall of the National People's Assembly, and the Yamen of the Six Ministries.
It's not that this is a forbidden area, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to wait and see, but it is still strictly forbidden for idle people to wait for the front.
The Yulin orphans are no longer orphans, but have become the most elite group of soldiers in the country, with good backgrounds and healthy height.
Guarding these places is only part of their accusation, but it is also one of the most important duties.
Seeing the flying monster fly overhead with the wind, the guards were at a loss and hurriedly reported up.
Lang Jiang had already gotten the news, looked up at the monster flying in the air, looked at the occasional falling paper, and was secretly surprised.
As an officer, you still have the necessary military qualities, especially as a regular officer who was born in a school palace and is proficient in artillery, drawing and building fortifications.
The first thing that came to his mind was whether someone would want to engage in some conspiracy? Or draw a map of this place overhead? Even...... Or even those radical young people who want to take advantage of the time when the envoys of the Qi State are here to make another big news of a gunpowder bomb attack?
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, now that the monster was above his head, he had to make a decision.
After a moment's consideration, he ordered: "I'll go in and report it now, I have to go in and explain the situation when I shoot here." But this thing is already overhead, shoot it in half an hour, shoot it down, and I'll take care of what the problem is. If they are not defeated, they will be pursued on horseback, and if there are people, they will all be captured alive. Repeat, execute. ”
The herald quickly repeated the order, drafted it, pressed the seal, and the general hurried to the place where it was time to report.
Half an hour later, the arquebusiers pointed their guns at the monster in the sky and began to shoot with a thud, lead bullets flying and smoke filling.
