When Empress Dowager Li heard that Chen Mo and Yongning actually fell into Ciqing Palace in a hot air balloon, she was first overjoyed and then shocked, and when she saw Caiyu, her face was already covered with a layer of frost.

Siqi and Chun Tao were a little hesitant, seeing Caiyu and Chen Mo go up to the Dan Majesty one after the other, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and their eyes seemed to ask: "Isn't Princess Yongning in the Ten Princes' Mansion?" Why did he appear with Chen Mo? For some reason, a sour feeling welled up in the hearts of the two of them at the same time.

Since she didn't plan to land directly in the palace at the beginning, Caiyu disguised herself as a man and prepared to go back to the princess's mansion before entering the palace. It's a pity that Chen Mo temporarily changed his plan, and so suddenly appeared beside the Empress Dowager Li, and his heart couldn't help but beat more and more, if it weren't for Chen Mo behind him, he really had the urge to run away.

Rao is like this, swept away by Empress Dowager Li's cold gaze, she still wants to find a crack in the ground to get in-it is enough to go out of Beijing without permission, and now she is disguised, and in the eyes of the queen mother, who has always been serious, it is simply unorthodox to the extreme. This time, I'm afraid that a scolding is inevitable, Chen Mo, Chen Mo, it's all your fault, it's not good, it's hard to get out of Beijing again!

Thinking wildly, he had arrived in front of the Empress Dowager Li, and seeing that Siqi and the others had already knelt down to salute him, Caiyu's legs were bent and weak, and she also knelt down, called the queen mother, lowered her head, like an ostrich, and then stopped making a sound.

"Slave Chen Mo, I have seen the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva Niangniang, Niangniang Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Chen Mo exaggeratedly knelt on the ground to salute Empress Dowager Li, and then without waiting for the other party to speak, he raised his head, grinned and said: "I haven't seen you for many years, Niangniang is getting younger and more beautiful......

"Flim Flam!" Empress Dowager Li's anger made Chen Mo shy and praised him for a moment, interrupted him with a smile, and said angrily: "Don't say anything like 'not seeing you for a day like every other autumn' to bluff the mourning family, a few months." I have returned to Beijing several times, and I am afraid that there is someone else! ”

After saying that, I suddenly felt a little sour, and I couldn't help but feel a little hot on my pretty face, and aggravated my tone: "Okay, let's get up...... This is General Qi Yuanjing Qi. Yongning, Shaoyan, don't hurry up to see the ceremony! ”

The word "Qi Yuanjing" came into his ears, Chen Mo's brain boomed, and he hurriedly got up and bowed to Qi Jiguang, and said: "It turned out to be General Qi who shocked the southeast and crisscrossed the desert north. I don't want to see you today, the younger generation is really fortunate to have three lives! At the same time, the excitement gradually calmed down, and he secretly thought: I actually made a mistake, so that Qi Jiguang saw us falling from the sky with his own eyes, and looked at his surprised expression, God is really not thin on Lao Tzu!

On the other side, Qi Jiguang first knelt down and saluted Princess Yongning, and after Princess Yongning respectfully returned the salute, he turned to Chen Mo. Tuan Tuan smiled and bowed with his fists clenched. said: "Gonggong Chen praised it falsely, thinking that Gonggong Chen was young and promising, building a hot air balloon blower, exposing Sun Xiu's treasonous conspiracy, and finding the real culprit behind the disappearance of Xiao'er. It's really embarrassing for my generation......"

"Don't compliment each other, you two are the emperor's right-hand men!" Empress Dowager Li was no longer frosty, her face was like a spring breeze, she interrupted the two with a smile and said, "Although it is spring." It's a bit cold outside, so let's talk inside! ”

Everyone obeyed the order and followed the Empress Dowager Li into the palace.

There are foreign ministers, and the Empress Dowager Li naturally will not go to her warm pavilion again, but sits on the seat in the middle of the main hall, and there is a pestle below, and Qi Jiguang will sit there if she wants to come to the right place.

It's just that now with Chen Mo and Caiyu, Qi Jiguang refused to sit down without saying anything. Together with Chen Mo and Caiyu, they stood side by side and spoke to Empress Dowager Li.

"The slave returned to Beijing this time, in addition to verifying the ability of the hot air balloon to carry people, there is also an important thing to return." Hearing Empress Dowager Li ask about the purpose of returning to Beijing this time, Chen Mo said bluntly.

"Something important?" Empress Dowager Li repeated, seeing that Chen Mo's expression was serious and not like a bluff, she looked at Caiyu and said lightly: "Let's talk about your business, let's go down first, Siqi, Chun Tao, you two accompany the princess to talk, and at the same time order others that no one is allowed to enter without the consent of the mourning family." ”

Caiyu and Siqi Chuntao retreated as they said, and Hua Fugui also went out of the hall to guard the door.

Qi Jiguang was a little uneasy, and was about to leave, but Chen Mo waved his hand to stop him, glanced at the Empress Dowager Li first, and then said with a smile: "General Qi doesn't need to avoid it, in fact, this matter has a lot to do with you." ”

"Oh?" Qi Jiguang and Empress Dowager Li were equally surprised, and they all looked at Chen Mo.

"That's the case, General Qi doesn't know if he's ever heard of black oil?"

"But is that the oil that burns in the face of fire and cannot be extinguished by water?" Qi Jiguang was well-informed, and when he heard the words, he asked rhetorically, and said: "Naturally, I have heard of it, in the past, the Tang Dynasty expedition to the Great Food was related to the record of this fire oil, and he had suffered a big loss. Recently, I have heard that there are also places in Liaodong that produce this thing, but it is said that the quantity is very small...... "Speaking of this, his eyes lit up: "Gonggong Chen will not mention this thing for no reason, could it be that he has found a place where it can be mass-produced?" Between the words, there was a faint tremble.

Chen Mo smiled proudly, and did not hide it, and immediately lifted himself and Zhu Yihua to the oil, Zhu Yihua looked for it in his heart, and met Liu Fu by chance, Liu Fu refined, and finally said: "Liu Fu has not refined many things, and we have brought them all to Beijing this time." Niangniang, General Qi, every time you don't see the power of that thing, the same fire ignites, and the firepower is fierce, but it is many times greater than the crude oil. Let's think, if this crude oil is exploited in large quantities, refined, and then equipped with a hot air balloon, or equipped with an army, not to mention a mere Atai, it is to meet thousands of Mongolian troops, just pour the hot air balloon on its head and down, and don't burn it on its back, crying dad and calling mother? ”

In fact, there was no need for Chen Mo to say, Qi Jiguang's face was already flushed with excitement, and after saying this, he became more and more irrepressible, and said impatiently: "Why not? Not to mention that Gonggong Chen's refining is only crude oil, if it can be produced in large quantities, it will be enough to change the situation of the future war, Xia Guan is just a little worried, this black oil is a private search for His Royal Highness King Lu, without confirmation, I don't know how much there is in reserve? ”

Empress Dowager Li is not the same as an ordinary woman, she has a furrow in her belly, hearing this, she has already understood that this news is really extraordinary, and secretly said No wonder Chen Mo dared to go to the capital again for this.

Thinking like this, he felt more and more that this news had to be notified to Zhu Yijun as soon as possible, so he raised his voice and greeted Hua Fugui outside the hall: "Go, send someone to find the emperor, and say that the mourning family is looking for him, and there is something important to discuss!" ”

Hua Fugui promised to leave the palace, but before he could close the palace door, he exclaimed, and said happily: "There is no need to send someone to find the emperor again," and pointed with his hand: "No, the emperor has already come by himself!" (To be continued......)
