The empress blushed at that time, glanced at Wang Xiaolai, and snorted: "You guy, it's always so sudden." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled: "Isn't that afraid that Your Majesty will be shy after saying hello?" ”

The empress glared at Wang Xiaolai: "If you don't say hello, I'm even more shy." ”

Wang Xiaolai: "···"

"Okay, let's get down to business, don't interrupt." Empress Dao.

Wang Xiaolai snorted.

The empress said: "In the Valley of Echoes, isn't the production of hot air balloons and gunpowder in the production stage, isn't it too child's play to put them into the battlefield like this?" ”

Wang Xiaolai said: "Yes." ”

"In case it doesn't work, let the news get out, in the future, let the grassland be on guard, and when Sui Yang and the grassland tear their faces, won't it be useless." The Empress asked again.

Wang Xiaolai still said: "Yes." ”

The empress frowned: "Then you are also going to let the hot air balloon and gunpowder go into battle." ”

Wang Xiaolai asked rhetorically: "When am I going to let the gunpowder go into battle?" ”

The empress pointed at Wang Xiaolai, a little woman who had caught the handle of her sweetheart: "Nuo Nuonuo, you are still lying, you just said that you would fly over the western territory with the 30,000 troops, no hot air balloons, how can you fly." ”

Wang Xiaolai stretched out his hand and grabbed the empress's soft water, and said with a smile: "It's a hot air balloon, but I didn't say gunpowder." ”

The Empress snorted.

Wang Xiaolai smiled and said: "Yes, the improvement of gunpowder has indeed been delayed because I am not there, but hot air balloons are different, as long as you give a drawing, any craftsman can make it, I have calculated, and since I left Echo Valley, I have built a hot air balloon that can carry 30,000 people." ”

Empress: "···"

"I still think it's a bit overkill to use this weapon against the Western Realm and against a Huhu." The empress shook her head.

Wang Xiaolai said: "Your Majesty, this is your mistake. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Who is the Great Enemy of Sui Yang?"

"Needless to say, of course it's the grassland."

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Since it is a grassland, then this battle against Huhu will have to use hot air balloons." ”

The empress didn't understand what Wang Xiao meant, and frowned and raised her head: "No, why don't I understand?" ”

Wang Xiaolai sighed: "Your Majesty, don't you understand? Huhu, is to solve the grassland before the appetizer, the hot air balloon has never been put into actual combat, the soldiers below, have not seen this kind of thing, if you say, when you go to the grassland, take out this kind of killing weapon, if it goes well, if it doesn't go well, then wouldn't it be self-smashing your own feet? ”

The empress seemed to understand a little: "You mean, Nahu Lake to train soldiers?" ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Yes, the future war situation is bound to become a three-dimensional war, and no one is missing from the sea, land and air." ”

The empress didn't seem to understand the professional terms in Wang Xiaolai's mouth, so Wang Xiaolai explained with a smile.

He placed the two empty bowls two feet apart, and then, with one hand hanging over the bowl in front of him, and then, with the other, hanging outside the table, said, "Your Majesty, just like this." ”

The empress stared at Wang Xiaolai's hand.

Wang Xiaolai smiled and pushed his two hands forward, straight to the bowl in front of the empress: "My two hands represent the air force in the hot air balloon and the navy that has gone to sea, and these two bowls are the infantry facing each other." ”

When Wang Xiaolai said this, the empress somewhat understood.

Looking at the empress's expression, Wang Xiaolai also knew that smart people were thorough at one point, and they didn't need to say more, so he put down his two hands and said: "So, Your Majesty, I want to take this opportunity to pull the hot air balloon on the battlefield and shake it around, and at the same time, it will also lay the foundation for the future air force." ”

"Future Air Force?"

Wang Xiaolai nodded: "It is the army that went to the western border this time, which is the prototype of the future air force of Suiyang." ”

The empress looked at Wang Xiaolai faintly.

Wang Xiaolai said: "Let this army practice its hands, and when it fights the grassland, it can also deal with all kinds of situations, Your Majesty, this is my original intention." ”

The empress nodded: "I understand. ”

"Therefore, the 30,000 troops who will participate in the expedition tomorrow, I need to be loyal to Sui Yang, at least within three generations, without stain." Wang Xiaolai continued: "It doesn't matter if you are strong or not, the most important thing is loyalty, and don't get dizzy, don't vomit all the way like Narcissus is sitting in a hot air balloon for the first time." ”

The empress lowered her head and thought for a while: "If this is the case, then I have to arrange for someone to pick it well, but I will definitely not be able to go on the expedition tomorrow." ”

Wang Xiaolai also pondered for a while, and knew in his heart that this matter could not be improvised, so he nodded and said, "Yes, you have to pick and choose." ”

The empress snorted.

After saying everything else, Wang Xiaolai stretched his waist and whispered: "But then again, we can drag it back on the expedition, but the gloomy flying book has to be sent over earlier, and 30,000 war horses is not a small number." ”

"Didn't you say you used a hot air balloon, what do you want to do with a war horse?"

"How can you do it without a war horse? In addition to gunpowder, hot air balloons have no means of air-to-ground attack at all, and when the time comes, they will have to rely on cavalry to decide the winner. Wang Xiaolai said in retort.

The empress pursed her lips and was speechless: "Doesn't that mean that you have to know how to ride." ”

Wang Xiaolai cracked his mouth and smiled.

The empress straightened her head: "Alas, it seems that I have to trouble Lao Xiangguo again." ”

Wang Xiaolai snorted, and expressed sympathy for Liu Maolin in his heart.

"By the way, Your Majesty, during the period of selecting suitable candidates for the expedition, I have to go back to Echo Valley."

The empress looked up: "What are you doing?" ”

"Shouldn't I prepare all the necessary requirements for a hot air balloon? Driving the personnel, the fuel needed to travel back and forth. Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress sighed, then nodded: "Yes." ”

Immediately, the empress asked again: "Do you need me to send you someone?" ”

Wang Xiaolai thought for a while: "Just pour Yu into me, I need to understand the situation in the west so that I can make a judgment." ”

The empress nodded: "This is no problem." ”

Wang Xiaolai smiled: "If it's okay, then Your Majesty, I will withdraw first, and you will rest early." ”

"Come back." The empress said suddenly.

Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?" ”

The empress blushed and snorted: "What are you withdrawing, it's so late, it's not safe to go back, you will live in the palace tonight, or the place where Suizhu lived before." ”

"If it's not Your Majesty, who can still do it to me? Besides, Li Baiyi and Yu Qingxie are both staying in my Foxconn, no one is watching, in case they fight again, I am afraid that this Daxing City will be overturned by them. ”

The empress glared: "Stop!" ”

Seeing that the empress's tone could not be refused, Wang Xiaolai had no choice but to raise his hands and admit defeat: "Okay, okay, I'll stay, I'll stay." ”

Only then did the empress nod in satisfaction.

The news that Wang Xiaolai was staying in the palace again reached the ears of many courtiers the next day.

People like Liu Maolin, Fan Lin, Lu Yiping, and Feng Qingyun.

Of course, it's not that these people have ear threads or anything in the palace, this kind of thing, there is no need for ear threads at all, as long as you ask the gatekeeper if Wang Xiao left yesterday, don't you know everything?

For this kind of thing, a group of old ministers and old ministers led by Liu Maolin didn't think there was anything, and even laughed, and joked in private that it seems that His Majesty is about to get married, but I don't know what name Wang Xiaolai will give when the time comes, queen?

And people like Feng Qingyun are angry in addition to anger in their hearts.

He was jealous of the empress's unconditional trust in Wang Xiaolai, and jealous of the supreme power that the empress gave Wang Xiaolai.

Staying overnight at the palace, what a blessing from God.

In his heart, Feng Qingyun can be regarded as counting Wang Xiaolai all over again.

As a result, when he got up in the morning, Wang Xiaolai sneezed constantly.

The empress thought that Wang Xiaolai had a cold, and wanted to summon the imperial doctor to come over to see Wang Xiao.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao waved his hand and refused.

However, almost all the news in the court has spread, and they all know that the relationship between the general Wang Xiaolai and the empress is getting closer and closer, and they have reached the point of staying in the palace at night.

These people don't dare to say anything on the surface, but secretly, they still have to chew the root of their tongue.

The news spread slowly, and I don't know which one of the mouthy people said it to the old royal family, when Zhao Lei, the king of Dong'a, heard the news, he was furious, and directly kicked over the desk, angry: "Damn Wang Xiaolai, extremely rude!" Rude to the extreme!! ”
