How is it possible for a tiger to fly? This was Zhao Yan's first reaction when he heard his daughter's words, but when he looked up along Siyue's fingers, he really found a tiger floating in the air, to be precise, it should be a fake tiger painted on a hot air balloon.

"Ah, this is the hot air balloon invented by the husband, right?" At this time, Cao Ying in the carriage also shouted in surprise, although she had heard Zhao Yan mention hot air balloons more than once, and even knew the principle of hot air balloons flying, but because of the imperial court's ban on hot air balloons, she was also the first time to see hot air balloons, so she was so surprised, as for Xue Ning'er and others in the carriage, they were also curious to look at the hot air balloons floating in the air.

"Daomen's movements are really fast!" Zhao Yan looked at the hot air balloon floating in the air and couldn't help but say to himself in surprise, he had just persuaded Zhao Shu to agree to lift the ban on hot air balloons a few days ago, but today he saw a hot air balloon floating in the air, and this tiger hot air balloon is only the first one, and there are several hot air balloons with other animals painted below.

After a while, all kinds of hot air balloons have floated everywhere in the air, because the hot air balloons cannot control the direction in the air, so the bottom of these hot air balloons are fixed on the ground with a long cable, which looks a little similar to the hot air balloons advertised by those businesses in later generations, and if you are very familiar with the city of Tokyo minifigures {Take a closer look at the direction of those hot air balloons, you will find that these hot air balloons are also opposite to the Taoist temple in Tokyo City.

Zhao Yan and their carriage did not enter the city of Tokyo, but along the east city wall in the direction of the Bianhe Annex, speaking of which, although the Bianhe Courtyard is not in the city of Tokyo, but after the development of Tokyo City over the years, the scale of the city is no longer limited to the city wall, and many prosperous markets and towns have also formed near the outside of the city. Some places are more prosperous than most of the city.

Soon Zhao Yan and their carriage came to the Bianhe Courtyard, Hu Yanping and his wife were on the same road with them, and when they arrived at the Bianhe River, they did not separate, but got off the carriage and began to play by the Bianhe River, which is also a traditional program on the third day of March, where women bathe in the morning. In the afternoon, the whole family plays by the river, and the women and children wear cauliflower on their heads, which is said to ward off evil spirits and diseases.

Cao Ying and their group of women and children ran to the river to pick camellia flowers, Zhao Yan sat on the grass to admire the women dressed up around, speaking of March 3 is also the earliest Valentine's Day in the history of the Central Plains, it is said that in the Xia Shang period, young men and women on this day will come to the river, and they will get married when they see each other, but now this custom has disappeared. But on this day, women can still go out to play like the Shangyuan Festival, so the banks of the Bianhe River are full of young women, although they are certainly not as beautiful as Cao Ying, but at least they are quite eye-catching.

Hu Yanping's wife and children were also with Cao Ying, but Hu Yanping had already disappeared, because after he saw the hot air balloon just now, he was also very curious, especially when he knew that Hu Yanqing and they were taking the Xingqing Mansion in the hot air balloon. I want to see it with my own eyes, there is a Taoist temple not far from the Bianhe River. The hot air balloon there floated above Zhao Yan's head, so Hu Yanping ran over as soon as he got out of the carriage.

"Hey~Hey~" At this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly heard a faint shout from above his head, which made him stunned, and immediately raised his head to look up, only to find that the shouting sound was actually coming from a hot air balloon overhead. There was a crane painted on this hot air balloon, which was not too high from the ground, and even Zhao Yan could see that there was a guy on the hanging basket who was waving his hands excitedly at them.

At this moment, Cao Ying and the others also walked over wearing camellia flowers, and they all heard the sound of the hot air balloon. Among them, Hu Yanping's wife, Cao Ying's cousin Cao Ni, suddenly said suspiciously: "Huh? This voice seems to be from the husband? ”

"That's right, this is Brother Huyan's voice, it seems that these hot air balloons in front of the Taoist temple should be able to be ridden!" Zhao Yan also touched his chin at this time and said, he thought that Daomen took out the hot air balloon today, just to attract the attention of the people, and by the way, to add some believers, but he didn't expect them to agree to let people ride, which is a very interesting idea.

"Daddy, Yue'er also wants to fly into the sky!" At this moment, Si Yue ran up and hugged Zhao Yan's calf and shouted, in fact, not only Si Yue, but Cao Ying and the others all showed heart-warming expressions when they heard that they could take a hot air balloon, after all, no matter who they were, they must have dreamed of flying.

"Okay, let's go check it out!" Zhao Yan also smiled at the moment, after the improvement of the hot air balloon during this period of time, there is no problem with the safety, not to mention that the hot air balloon raised by these Taoist temples is not very high, and there is a cable pulling underneath, so naturally there is no problem, and it is also a good thing to let Cao Ying and them go up to take a look.

The Taoist temple is not far from the Bianhe River, they boarded the carriage for a moment and then came to the Taoist temple, only to see that this place has been surrounded by people, densely packed with thousands of people, the square in front of the Taoist temple is crowded, and the hot air balloon that has just risen is also slowly falling, and there are more than a dozen sturdy Taoist priests pulling the cable below, controlling the direction of the hot air balloon landing, so as not to fall on the heads of the onlookers.

As soon as the hot air balloon fell to the ground, I saw Hu Yanping jump down from it, and then separated the crowd and ran to Zhao Yan and shouted excitedly: "It's so fun, it's the first time I've found it so fun to fly in the sky, and in the future, I will buy a hot air balloon for myself to go home anyway, and I can fly to the sky to play if I have nothing to do, it's like a fairy!" ”

Seeing Hu Yanping's excited and incoherent appearance, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel funny, but this made Cao Ying and the others more interested, all of them shouted that they wanted to take a hot air balloon, but Hu Yanping immediately laughed again when he heard this: "It's easy to take a hot air balloon, just now when I came to the Taoist temple for free, no one dared to go up, so I was the first to go up, now I will go to the Taoist temple to talk to the Taoist priest!" ”

After Hu Yanping finished speaking, he turned around and went to find those Taoist priests, but after a while, an old Taoist with a white beard came to Zhao Yan with a smile, and saluted Zhao Yan with a smile on his face: "The poor Dao Void Lingzi visited the county king, I haven't seen him for many days, and the county king's demeanor is better than in the past!" ”

Zhao Yan felt a little familiar when he saw this old Taoist just now, and now when he heard the other party's words, he immediately remembered that when he discussed things with Cao Ying and other people in the Dao Sect, he had seen this Void Spirit Son, but he didn't expect the other party to live in this Taoist temple near his home.

Since they were all acquaintances, Zhao Yan immediately said a few polite words to the other party, and then brought forward the idea that he and his family wanted to take a hot air balloon, but this Void Spirit Daoist also agreed, and personally led them to the hot air balloon in the middle of the square, where a large area was specially drawn for the hot air balloon to dock.

Zhao Yan himself will operate the hot air balloon, so it is useless to be in the Taoist temple, he took his two daughters and Xue Ning'er to get on the hot air balloon first, as for Cao Ying, although she also wanted to go up, but Zhao Yan was worried that there was wind above, and it would be bad if she and the fetus were injured, so he wanted to go up with Xue Ning'er to see the situation first.

Zhao Yan was in charge of operating the hot air balloon, Xue Ning'er was taking care of the two children, as the flame in the furnace rose, the hot air balloon slowly rose again, with the launch of the hot air balloon, Xue Ning'er who was holding Si Ling couldn't help but get excited, Si Yue was even more excited to jump straight in the hanging basket, as for Si Ling, she stretched out her little hand and waved while babbling non-stop, it seems that these two little guys are also very bold, and they are not afraid at all.

Today's weather is very good, not only is it sunny, but there is only a little breeze, and even when Zhao Yan and they rise into the air, the wind is not very big, the key is that the wind speed is very stable, so that the hot air balloon will not shake too much, which also makes Zhao Yan feel at ease, the hot air balloon is not easy to have accidents, plus today's weather is so good, it is estimated that even if it is lifted off, there will be no danger.

Next, Zhao Yan took Xue Ning'er's mother and daughter to stay in the sky for a while, and waited until Si Ling and Si Yue sisters were tired of dancing, and then Zhao Yan agreed to let Cao Ying and Cao Ni come up, he was still ready to operate the hot air balloon himself, but when he was on the hot air balloon, Cao Ying suddenly hesitated, and finally shook his head and said: "Husband, I'll forget it, it's not too late to take a hot air balloon when I give birth to a child in the future!" ”

In order to conceive this child, Cao Ying and Zhao Yan have put in a lot of effort, so although she wants to fly to the sky very much, but she is worried about the danger of the child in her belly, after all, the sky is not as good as the ground, a gust of wind will make the hot air balloon very shaky, if she bumps and hurts the child, it will be bad, so Cao Ying will give up at the last moment.

Zhao Yan actually didn't worry about letting Cao Ying take the hot air balloon, but he couldn't bear to refuse her, so he would operate it himself, and now he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her take the initiative to give up, so he asked Yelusi to replace Cao Ying, and he personally operated the hot air balloon to fly into the sky again.

It took more than an hour, Zhao Yan and all of them finally experienced the fun of flying, and even the little bean sprouts and Mi Xue were taken by Zhao Yan to fly around in the sky, causing the two little girls to scream again and again, and they couldn't be quiet for a long time after coming down.

A few days after the third day of March, the city of Tokyo was jubilant again, because Zhao Ji finally rushed back from Western Xia, and the soldiers who had made great contributions in the battle to destroy Xia also came back with him, such as Hu Yanqing and others, who would be personally received and rewarded by Zhao Shu.
