Chapter 232: No Landing
After Zhao Yan's hot air balloon lifted off, although at night, because of the huge size of the airbag, it finally attracted the attention of some people, especially some rebels who rushed to the palace, they were even more frightened, thinking that there were two monsters hidden in the palace, and many people were even more frightened and turned around and ran, which indirectly helped Yelu Hongji a little.
But soon there were generals among the rebels to stabilize the situation, and even commanded the archers to shoot arrows upward, wanting to shoot the monsters above, at that time Zhao Yan's hot air balloon was not flying very high, and the result was really shot by the bow and arrow, fortunately, the hanging basket below is very strong, there is no need to worry about the arrows, as for the air bag above, the silk outside is not easy to shoot through, plus it has a certain height, and the arrow has no power when it comes up, so although it hit the air bag, it was all bounced off, Even if you get shot through, it's fine, because a little hole in the airbag doesn't affect the flight much.
Seeing the arrows flying around, Zhao Yan and they were also startled, and hurriedly increased their firepower, making the hot air balloon rise again, although they were not afraid of ordinary arrows, but if the rebels below opened their minds and switched to using rockets to shoot them, then their hot air balloons would definitely become two big torches, and they would either be burned to death or fall to death.
Zhao Yan was responsible for adding coal to the furnace, and Su Shi desperately pulled a small bellows, making the fire in the furnace very big, and the hot air balloon rising faster, plus although the wind on the ground was not big, the wind in the air was very strong, and after a while, Zhao Yan's hot air balloon was out of the range of the rebels, and it floated all the way to the east under the blowing of the wind.
Seeing that the palace and the fire below are getting smaller and smaller, and the hot air balloon is also fluttering to the east very quickly, it looks like it is about to leave the sky above the palace. This made Zhao Yan and the others breathe a sigh of relief, as long as they escaped from the range of the palace, they would be safe. However, as the altitude increased, Zhao Yan and the others felt that the temperature around them was getting lower and lower, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger. This made all three of them feel cold in their hands and feet, and there was not a trace of heat on their bodies.
Fortunately, Zhao Yan knew that the higher the altitude, the lower the temperature, so he had prepared the fur fur in advance, because he didn't expect Yelusi to come in advance, so there were only two fur furs, but Zhao Yan was worried that he would not keep warm. also specially prepared a quilt, and now he and Su Shi happened to have a fur fur, and Yelusi wrapped himself in a quilt like a zongzi.
"Oh no, it's so dark at night, we can't see what is going on below. How do you get down? At this time, Yelusi in the quilt suddenly thought of a question, and asked very anxiously, the palace is close to the Prince Mountain and the Luan River, and it is a forest and a river, if you can't see the terrain below, it is likely to encounter danger when landing.
"Hehe, don't worry, princess, it's been a west wind these days. Today is no exception, and now our hot air balloon is driving eastward under the force of the wind, so I have already had people find some flat ground in the east. As soon as it got dark, we lit a bonfire, and when we saw the light of the fire, we began to descend, and if nothing else, we should be able to land safely. Zhao Yan smiled when he heard this, the only power of the hot air balloon in the sky is the wind, and the wind direction is very fixed in the past few days. So he also made arrangements before.
However, when Yelusi heard Zhao Yan's words, he glanced at him meaningfully and said, "The king of the county has been prepared before, so to speak. You should have known that Yelu Chongyuan was going to rebel tonight, right? ”
Ever since he decided to take Yelusi away just now, Zhao Yan already knew that he couldn't hide it from the other party. Therefore, I saw that he nodded very simply and said: "Since the princess asked so, then I will tell you the truth, we did know in advance that Yelu Chongyuan was preparing to rebel, and even guessed that the other party might rebel at the birthday banquet, but we didn't know which day it was, so in these three days, we were always ready to escape." ”
Hearing that Zhao Yan told himself such a confidential matter so lightly, Yelusi couldn't help but be stunned, but soon Zhao Yan smiled again: "Of course, this is what I said to the princess in private now, but after we land safely, I will only tell others that this is a coincidence, our Great Song Mission originally wanted to give these two hot air balloons to your father as a special birthday gift, but I didn't expect to save our lives at the last moment." ”
"You...... Shameless! Hearing Zhao Yan's rogue answer, Yelusi was also angry, pointed at Zhao Yan and said angrily, she usually lives in the deep palace, and she never thought that there would be such a person in the world who reverses black and white.
"Haha, this is not shameless, but a conspiracy between countries, after all, although our Great Song Dynasty and your Liao State coexist peacefully on the surface, the private open and secret struggle has never been broken, and even we can know about the Yelu Chongyuan rebellion, but the upper echelons of your Liao State don't know anything about it, which can only say that the officials of your Liao State are too incompetent!" Zhao Yan was not angry when he heard Yelusi's words, but laughed and said.
Although Yelusi lacks knowledge, her brain is very smart, and she quickly calmed down, and she also knew that Zhao Yan was right, the Liao State and the Song State were originally enemies, if their own side knew that the Song State was about to rebel, I am afraid that they would not kindly inform the other party, and even the more chaotic the other party, the happier their own side would be.
Thinking of the above, Yelusi was no longer angry, but showed a smile and said: "The king of the county is really courageous, in order to make us have civil strife in Liao, he actually risked his life, no wonder your eldest brother King Ying disappeared early, presumably he should have fled a long time ago, but this is also normal, after all, everyone knows that King Ying is the quasi-prince of the Song Kingdom, so His Royal Highness the King of the County can take risks, but the safety of King Ying must not have any mistakes." ”
"Hehe, Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't have to play tricks in front of me, you want to provoke the relationship between our brothers, you are still too tender, and tell you again, my eldest brother was originally going to stay, but I resolutely refused, and what you said is right, I am just a leisurely county king, and I didn't plan to care about those troubles in the court, so what you said is useless to me at all." After Zhao Yan heard Yelusi's words that obviously sow discord, he smiled again.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words to reveal his intentions, Yelusi stomped his feet angrily again, and shrank his head into the quilt, sulking in his own life. Su Shi was still looking at the direction of the palace from just now to now, and he was deaf to the things around him. Zhao Yan didn't look bored when he saw this, and the three people in the hanging basket didn't speak anymore for a while, and the atmosphere became a little dull.
After a while, Zhao Yan suddenly thought of a question, that is, why did Yelusi wait for him in the place where he lived, and it was still at night, which was a little too strange?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan just wanted to ask, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a shout from the wind, which made Zhao Yan and them stunned, and soon it turned out to be Zhou Tong on another hot air balloon shouting at them, but now there is a distance between the two hot air balloons, and the wind in the air is also very strong, so I can't hear what they are shouting at all, just look at them shouting and stretching out their hands in the hanging basket, as if they are in an emergency?
"What are they shouting, do you hear me?" Zhao Yan held his breath and listened for a while, but he still couldn't hear clearly, so he had to ask Su Shi and Yelusi, who were also listening.
"No, but listening to their shouts so anxiously, it seems that there is something wrong?" Yeluth also frowned at this time. Su Shi also woke up from his stupor, but he also didn't hear what Zhou Dong was shouting.
But at this moment, a sudden gust of wind blew, just sending Zhou Dong's shouting over for a while, Zhao Yan could hear Zhou Dong and them seem to be saying something "wind" very clearly, which made them all stunned, and then Yelusi was the first to react, holding the quilt and standing up and saying, "Wind? You don't have it now, and the wind seems to be chaotic now? ”
Zhao Yan and Su Shi also had this problem, the wind just now was blowing to the east, but now the wind in the air has become a chaotic wind, one will go east and one will go north, and the wind seems to be getting stronger, as a result, under this chaotic wind, the direction of the hot air balloon has changed, and the hanging basket has become very unstable, and it seems that it may fall down at any time.
"Oh no, how did the wind change at this time?" After Zhao Yan saw this situation, he immediately said anxiously, the direction of the wind has always changed, and the direction of their progress has changed, so that they will not be able to pass over the east to meet their people, and they will not see the instructions of those fires, which means that they will not be able to land at night.
"What can we do, how can we land if there is no fire?" At this time, Yelusi also thought of the consequences of the change in wind direction, and asked very anxiously at the moment.
"There's no way, if it's really not possible, then you can only force the landing, but it will definitely bring a lot of risk." Zhao Yan also said in a deep voice at this time, he thought that his plan was foolproof, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and God didn't give face, and now that the wind direction has changed, Zhao Yan's previous plans have all been disrupted.
But soon Zhao Yan and their own troubles did not stop there, with the change of wind direction, the wind became more and more powerful, the hot air balloon has become very unstable, and finally Zhao Yan and they had to use a rope to tie themselves in the hanging basket, so they were not thrown out, but as time went by, Zhao Yan and Zhou Dong their hot air balloons were blown farther and farther away by the turbulent wind, and the distance between the two hot air balloons was at least a few miles, and the distance between each other was still widening, which also meant that they were likely to be separated, even after landing safely, I'm afraid it's also difficult to find each other.
