The hot air balloon rose quickly, and in a short time it had already risen to a height of almost five or six meters. Everyone present raised their heads and kept looking.

The wrestlers in the basket are used to such heights, so he doesn't care at all, Li Yi, who is looking under the basket, jumps excitedly, clapping his hands and shouting: "It's amazing, it's amazing!" Raise it again, raise it a little more. ”

Li Bao listened to Li Yi's words, so he waved his hand at the wrestler on the basket. As he said, Lux continued to speed up the push and pull, so that the flames were more intense. The hot air balloon continued to rise, continuing to rise to a height of more than ten meters.

Li Yi looked at this tall gray big guy and actually laughed a lot when he reached the sky. So Li Yi said to him, "Let them come down, I want to go up and play." ”

Li Bao saw that the emperor couldn't bear it, so he said to Li Yi: "The official family, this hot air balloon has just been successfully trial-produced, and it can't ensure safety. ”

Li Yi watched the big guy floating well in the air, and there was a wrestler in the basket, how could it be unsafe, so he said to Li Bao: "It's okay, I look at the people in the basket are fine, Liulang don't take those uncertain words and fool me." Hurry up and get them down. ”

Li Bao looked at Li Yi's resolute eyes, and immediately agreed: "Bao Zheng obeys the official's orders, but this hot air balloon must be guaranteed to go up with the official, otherwise Bao will never be able to agree to the official's request." ”

When Li Yi heard this, he still hesitated, and immediately agreed: "Okay, I like to be with Liulang the most." Quick, get them down, I'm going to go up. ”

So Li Bao waved his chess pieces at the wrestlers above, and they were too high off the ground. It was too hard to shout, so Li Bao used the chess pieces of different colors as flags to tell the people above to come down.

So the wrestlers on it stopped breathing fire, and after waiting for a long time, the hot air balloon stopped inflating and slowly descended. When it was almost three meters high, the craftsmen below grabbed the edge of the basket with a lever with an iron hook, and then several people pulled the basket down in unison.

Before the basket was good, Emperor Li Yi was about to rush into the basket with a single arrow step. Li Bao hurriedly stepped forward and helped Li Yi. After Li Yi sat up, Li Bao also stepped into the basket.

After Li Bao stood up, he was about to wave his hand to let the wrestlers start the fire, Tian Lingzi, who had been standing below and watching, couldn't hold back, and the attendant beside him said: "Official, wait a minute, our Lieutenant Tian hasn't gone up yet." ”

Li Bao glanced at Tian Lingzi and the white-faced attendant, and said with a faint smile: "Yo, I'm sorry Lieutenant Tian, this hot air balloon has a limited capacity, so I can't take you again this time." ”

After listening to Li Bao's words, Tian Lingzi's disappointment was beyond words. Tian Lingzi could see the teasing and promotion under Li Bao's faint smile, but he couldn't expose Li Bao, because he didn't know whether what Li Bao said was true or false.

And at this time, Emperor Li Yi was on the rise, and he didn't want to anger the emperor at this time, otherwise he would lose face even more, so Tian Lingzi had no choice but to step aside.

Li Bao instructed Lux to speed up, the hot air balloon inflated and lifted into the air again, rising continuously, standing in the basket, the whole panorama of Chang'an City was in full view, and Li Yi shouted excitedly.

The cool breeze in the air was like a girl's gentle caressing, and Li Bao also had the illusion of being relaxed and happy.

Now the height of the hot air balloon has been more than ten meters, Li Yu still feels that it is not enjoyable, and he has to order it to rise again, Li Bao thought about it or agreed to Li Yu's request, the materials made of this hot air balloon are still very different from the materials made in later generations, but this height is only more than ten meters, and it is not a big problem to raise it again.

Moreover, in the eighteenth century, a hot air balloon flew more than ten kilometers for the first time in the world, so Li Bao was not worried at all. As a result, Datang's first high-altitude balloon repeatedly broke records and rose to a height of 40 meters.

So Li Bao and Li Yi stayed in the air for nearly an hour, and the fire oil was about to run out before they began to land.

When Li Yi, who was still unsatisfied, got off the hot air balloon, he was still immersed in the irrepressible excitement of the first person to ascend to heaven in the Tang Dynasty. Seeing Li Yi so happy, Tian Lingzi's face was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

Li Bao looked at Tian Lingzi's curiosity, and secretly laughed in his heart, and said in his heart: You will look good later!

So Li Bao ordered the wrestlers to change the guard and change the fuel oil. When everything is changed, it is almost time for the palace gate to be locked.

So Li Bao said to Li Yu: "The official family has now reached the time of the palace gate, or don't play anymore today, the official family should go back to the palace first." ”

When Tian Lingzi heard this, he immediately became angry, and his tone was much sharper, "Is Prince Ji going to entertain our family?" Our family has been here for a long time, and I have watched the official family and you climb high and look far away, so you don't care about our family? ”

Li Bao saw that Tian Lingzi had really taken the bait, so he pretended to be apologetic, "Oh, how can Lieutenant Tian want to protect it so much." Bao is also for the good of the official family, and if he does not return to the palace on time when the time comes, he is not sure how the courtiers will advise the official family. Lieutenant Ita, please bear with me! ”

Li Bao turned to Emperor Li Yu and said, "If you don't go back to the palace first, Bao will accompany Lieutenant Tian to take off again to play again." ”

Li Yi listened to Li Bao's words, he had been playing in the sky for more than an hour today, and he was also a little tired, so he nodded and said, "In this case, I will go back to the palace first." ”

So Li Bao and Tian Lingzi sent Li Yi back to the palace first, and when Li Yu left, Tian Lingzi immediately said to Li Bao: "Prince Ji hurry up and start, our family still has official business to be busy today." ”

Tian Lingzi listened to Li Bao's tone, plus he had been waiting for a long time, he had long been impatient, since Li Yi ascended the throne, no one had ever despised him so much, if it weren't for Emperor Li Yi here, he would have torn his face with Li Bao a long time ago.

Li Bao also saw Tian Lingzi's weakness, deliberately provoked him, and let him rush to play in the hot air balloon. Now that the goal has been achieved, he said to the wrestler who was standing in the basket: "Wu Xiaowu is going to operate this hot air balloon well today, and you can take Lieutenant Tian to the air later." ”

Wu Xiaowu said to Li Baogong: "Don't worry, the king is already proficient in the operation of this hot air balloon, and I promise to satisfy Lieutenant Tian." When Wu Xiaowu said 'satisfied', he deliberately accentuated his tone and glanced at Li Bao.

Li Bao comprehended, so he turned to Tian Lingzi and said, "Lieutenant Tian, let's clear, Bao was a little uncomfortable in the sky just now, so he didn't accompany Lieutenant Tian up." ”

When Tian Lingzi heard this, Li Bao couldn't go up, he was even more happy, but he was just because he had a ghost in his heart against Li Bao, if he was in the air with Li Bao, he was really a little uncomfortable.

Since Li Bao couldn't go up, Tian Lingzi planned to take the white-faced attendant who had just spoken for him to go up with him, Tian Lingzi finished speaking, and the white-faced attendant was immediately overjoyed, and said to Tian Lingzi: "The lieutenant treats Zhongrong so well, Zhongrong has nothing to repay, only desperately guards the lieutenant." ”

Li Bao hurriedly said: "I can't help it, I can't make this hot air balloon carry as little weight in the air as possible, you squire a lowly slave, don't go up." ”

Li Bao's words made Tian Lingzi's white-faced attendant Tian Zhongrong's face change immediately, but he didn't dare to offend this Ji Wangye, who was more powerful than Tian Lingzi, and only secretly cursed in his heart to hate this Ji King Li Bao, who despised him.

Tian Lingzi listened to Li Bao's words and didn't insist with him, so he said to the attendant: "Zhongrong won't go up this time, and I'll go back when I have the opportunity in the future." Then Tian Lingzi continued to say to Wu Xiaowu: "Why are you still stunned, why don't you light the fire quickly?" ”

Wu Xiaowu began to move his hand according to his words, and did not forget to wave his hand at Li Bao after the action, and when the fire was ignited, the tongue of fire gushed, the hot air balloon inflated again, and then continued to rise, Tian Lingzi slowly overlooked Chang'an City in the basket, and the feeling of relaxation and joy made him feel very comfortable.

Tian Lingzi thought that now there were only himself and the two of them, and this time the liftoff was still higher, so he said to Wu Xiaowu: "Hurry up and burn the fire, raise it, and raise it again." ”

Wu Xiaowu didn't answer, he took care of the flamethrower, and when it rose to a height of about thirty meters, Wu Xiaowu stopped his movements and said to Tian Lingzi: "What does Lieutenant Tian think of this height?" Are you still comfortable? ”

Tian Lingzi looked at this filthy little laborer, and said contemptuously: "This is natural, otherwise how could the official family and King Ji play in the sky for most of the hour?" Why aren't you elevated? Ascend quickly! ”

Wu Xiaowu turned around, turned his back to Tian Lingzi and said, "Lieutenant Tian knows this height, what will happen if a person falls?" ”

Wu Xiaowu's words were like a sharp blade, which made Tian Lingzi's heart furious, and he was immediately a little scared, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean by this?" Our family is a lieutenant of the Shence Army, what do you want to do? ”

Wu Xiaowu looked at Tian Lingzi, who was even more ugly because of fear, and said: "I'm sorry, Lieutenant Tian, King Ji ordered a lesson for you here, and Prince Ji asked me to tell you that the matter of Huaqing Palace last time was not so easy and it was fine." ”

After speaking, Wu Xiaowu turned the flamethrower and burned the ball skin of the hot air balloon, which was pulped with cotton cloth and soaked in tung oil, so that the cotton cloth was very flammable, and when the flame tongue touched, the corner of the balloon ball burst into flames.

Seeing the ball skin burning, Wu Xiaowu quickly tied a large piece of coarse cloth to the side of the basket, and then quickly tied it to his limbs, and finally he boarded the basket and said to Tian Lingzi, who was already stunned: "Lost company, Lieutenant Tian, a certain step first." ”

After speaking, Wu Xiaowu jumped up, and the coarse cloth tied to his limbs immediately restrained the full air, and his body slowly fell.

The people standing under them didn't notice anything unusual about the hot air balloon at first, but when they suddenly saw a person jumping down from the basket, they found that the hot air balloon actually burned, and then they watched Tian Lingzi howling and jumping in the basket, and then with the exclamation of everyone, the basket under the hot air balloon suddenly fell from the air.
