"We don't know about these, but I seem to have heard that the land we live in is actually a very huge ball, and it's impossible to say whether it's true or not, but if that's the case, find an opportunity, every way you go west, maybe you can really come back from the east."

"Impossible, right?" Caiyu didn't believe it at first, and Tie Niu also had a suspicious look.

Chen Mo smiled and said: "Don't say it, our family can't say for sure, the specific authenticity depends on him to distinguish between the ...... But one thing we can be sure of is that along the way, we will definitely pass through countless countries, France, England, Europa...... Ever heard of the Silk Road? And those foreign hairs who do business with us in the south, he is all rich and oily, and loves our silk and tea ...... the most."

Seeing Tie Niu's face full of fascination as he spoke, he couldn't help nodding secretly, and said: "Tie Niu, don't be greedy, don't worry, when our hot air balloon technology becomes more and more mature, our family will definitely organize a hot air balloon team to explore the West and open up an air passage." Many people are stupid with those foreign hairs and money, and when the time comes, our family will not only protect you from every rich party, but also ask for a few foreign daughters-in-law with blond hair, blue eyes and high noses! ”

The Ming Dynasty has long had a ban on the sea, but it is a virtual reality, most of the rich families in the southeast have trade contacts with overseas, and because most of them are supported by princes and nobles, the court turns a blind eye. This matter is known to the whole world, and Ben Caiyu and Tie Niu are no exception, so they do not doubt what Chen Mo said.

Tie Niu's dark face lit up with excitement, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "That relationship is good, that relationship is good...... It's still the Overseer, and we can meet the Overseer every time in this life. What a blessing......"

There are outsiders, Chen Mo is not good at keeping with Caiyu. In addition, I didn't sleep well last night, and I didn't have a match with Caiyu and Tieniu. Unconsciously, I felt my eyelids were heavy, and my head fell asleep on Caiyu's shoulder, and when I woke up, I saw Caiyu beside me, and Tie Niu had already gone to the platform, shouting at the top of his throat.

It turned out that during the time he was sleeping. The hot air balloon has drifted along the air current, close to the sky.

Tie Niu was originally commanding his subordinates to close the small fire mouth, and when he caught a glimpse of Chen Mo waking up, he was overjoyed and asked: "Overseer, you can be considered awake, you have arrived in the capital, dare to ask Overseer, where do we land?" ”

Chen Mo had just woken up, still a little confused, and did not wait for an answer. I heard Caiyu say in a pretty voice: "It's better to find a sparsely populated place, outside the city, the province has alarmed the people in the city." ”

He pondered for a moment, and at the same time completely came to his senses. I couldn't help but think of it, and raised my hand: "No, Iron Bull." Now it's time to put you to the test, if you can get to ......," he estimated. It's almost noon, under normal circumstances. Zhu Yijun should be in the Qianqing Palace, so he said: "Qianqing Palace, if you can accurately fall in the Qianqing Palace, each person will be rewarded with five taels of silver!" ”

"Chen Mo-" Caiyu was a little worried, but Tie Niu on the platform was extremely excited, and the leopard's eyes widened and shouted: "The overseer will take a look...... Brother, do you hear it, the time has come to test us, the goal is to clear the palace, can you do it? ”

"Yes!" The other three people were gearing up and shouting in unison, two went to adjust the size of the fire outlet, one of them took a pole tied with a strip of colored cloth and leaned out of the hanging basket to test the wind direction, and the iron bull was not idle, his hand put on the pergola, and his body leaned out of the hanging basket to look down.

No wonder they are excited, unlike the usual training and Zhu Yihua's tour of the city, this is the first time that the manned voyage of a hot air balloon has been exposed to the public, and it is a place like the palace. Thinking about the shocked appearance of the people below who fell from the sky, even Chen Mo couldn't sit still, got up and got on the platform.

The height of the hot air balloon is hundreds of meters, and there is a trace of white clouds fluttering under your feet, through the clouds, but seeing the endless tender green below, it is very comfortable to look at. Between the tender green, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is like a thin white ribbon, vertical and horizontal from north to south, meandering, and a small piece of black buildings is connected to the north. Along the building all the way to the west, at the end of the scattered black dots, is a large dense black building complex, on the central axis of the building, surrounded by red lines, is the splendid Forbidden City.

At this moment, at noon, the various glazed tiles of the palace in the city are shining in the warm sun, and there is no need to deliberately look for them, which attracts everyone's attention at once.

The hot air balloon went all the way to the south, slowly descending, and after entering a flow layer below, the speed also decreased, and drifted south for a distance, seeing that it had floated through the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, and arrived above the Middle Pole Palace, Tie Niu and the others changed color on their faces, when Chen Mo smiled secretly, as the hot air balloon landed, it encountered a gust of west wind, and it deviated even more, and went diagonally towards Ciqing Palace.

Caiyu had already gotten on the platform, leaned over and looked around, seeing the hot air balloon floating in the direction of Ciqing Palace, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Suffer, go to the mother's ......" Thinking of others, Shengsheng swallowed the word "after" back, there was a feeling similar to homesickness, and looked at Chen Mo as if asking for help.

Chen Mo patted her back comfortingly, his eyes were as gentle as possible, signaling that she was okay. Seeing Tie Niu and the others looking depressed, they couldn't help but be happy, and said: "Okay, don't be depressed, the wind is impermanent, and it is already commendable to be able to accurately fall into the imperial city, and the five taels of silver are rewarded!" ”

Tie Niu and the others were happy again.

It is getting closer and closer to the apse of Ciqing Palace, it is less than 100 meters, and according to this speed and angle, the final landing point should be the open space in front of the apse.

When floating through the crimson palace wall, someone at the bottom finally found the trace of the hot air balloon, and in the exclamation, a large number of people soon gathered, the eunuch Gong'e, and the guards of Ciqing Gate also discovered the movement here, and quickly ran over. Qi raised his neck to watch, and after seeing Chen Mo and Caiyu clearly, the horror was gone, and they all changed into envious expressions, and some people entered the hall all the way, and when the hot air balloon landed on the ground, Empress Dowager Li had already appeared above His Majesty Dan under the embrace of Siqi and Chun Taohua, followed by a man in a scarlet python robe.

The man has a beard on his lips and under his chin, a round face and thick eyebrows, he is in his fifties, wearing a crown of loyalty and quietness, a jade belt around his waist, and a dragon and a tiger.

Who is this man?

Chen Mo was curious, and when he saw Caiyu on the side, he was also at a loss, and lowered his eyebrows, looking a little scared, knowing that she was afraid that Empress Dowager Li would fall, he patted her back again, and whispered: "Don't worry, there are us...... The queen mother is there, and our family can handle it! ”

Caiyu sneered, glanced at him, and was afraid that he had gone a lot, and when he got off the platform, he saw that Tie Niu had already opened the door, and he went out of the hanging basket first. (To be continued......)
