"No, I have to go to the palace." Wang Xiaolai stood up directly and said.

The Eight Sages King and Liu Maolin also stood up and stopped him: "What are you doing in the palace?" ”

"Tell Your Majesty about it." Wang Xiaolai said.

"Your Majesty is gifted and intelligent, Shengming is extraordinary, he does not move, he has his own plans, you don't have to worry about it." The Eight Sages King said with a gloomy face.

Wang Xiaolai frowned: "But the prince!" ”

The Eight Sages King waved his hand to stop Wang Xiaolai's words: "Okay, no need to say more." ”

Wang Xiaolai stood on the spot and gritted his teeth, and suddenly walked out, the Eight Sages King stepped forward, pressed Wang Xiaolai's shoulder, and shouted: "Don't you understand the words of this king!" ”

Since he met the Eight Sages King, he has always been happy and looks like the charity of the old man next door, and it is rare to get angry.

But no matter what, as the leader who has been in charge of the military power of Suiyang for thirty years, the Eight Sages King still has the majesty accumulated over the years, and this drink really scared Wang Xiaolai.

For a long time, Wang Xiaolai bowed his head: "I'm not going to the palace, I'm just writing a letter." ”

The Eight Sages King hesitated when he heard this, and put his hand down: "Letter? What to write? ”

Wang Xiaolai narrowed his eyes: "A letter to Feng Qingyun." ”

"What are you writing to him for?"

Wang Xiaolai said: "At the beginning, I bailed him out of the heavenly prison from His Majesty, and if he did this, he would ruin Sui Yang's foundation and His Majesty's reputation, and I couldn't ignore it." ”

Liu Maolin understood what Wang Xiaolai meant: "You want to knock him?" ”

Wang Xiaolai shook his head: "No, the beating is not appropriate for me, I just threatened him, if he really stops, forget it, if he still goes his own way, don't blame me for going to His Majesty to complain." ”

"Your Majesty knows these things."

"I know, but if I open up these things, I don't believe Your Majesty."

Seeing what Liu Maolin wanted to say, the Eight Sages King shook his head, and then said: "It's appropriate to let Xiao Lai scare him, otherwise, it will be a disaster for Sui Yang to go down without a sky." ”

Liu Maolin listened, pondered for a moment, and just sighed: "Okay, the scale must be mastered well." ”

Wang Xiaolai nodded, and then shouted outside, "Someone." ”

A maid walked in from outside, bowed her head and bowed her head and bowed to a blessing: "What does the general command?" ”

"Get a pen and paper."

"Yes."

After a while, the maid walked in with a pen and paper, and Wang Xiaolai stepped forward, picked up the pen, and wrote down a paragraph.

"I know everything about you, I don't expose you when I read the friendship of a bucket of rice at the beginning, you are so self-conscious."

When Feng Qingyun was still a poor showman, Wang Xiaolai and Zhao Sui, who was known as Nightmare, went to Feilong Mountain to play together, and gave him a bucket of rice.

It is precisely because of this that after learning the news of Feng Qingyun's imprisonment, Wang Xiaolai bailed him out to the empress.

After putting away the letter, Wang Xiaolai asked the maid to call Xian Jingyu, and when Xian Jingyu arrived in front of the hall, Wang Xiaolai handed the letter over and said, "Send it to the Fengqingyun Mansion of the Servant of the Criminal Department." ”

Xian Jingyu took it, nodded and turned around.

After the others left, Wang Xiaolai sighed: "I hope to persuade him." ”

Intellectually, Wang Xiaolai still hopes that Feng Qingyun will be good, after all, when they first met, Feng Qingyun was still an aspiring scholar, although he was poor, he was still proud.

The current wind and clouds are just a poor person who has lost his mind.

It's just that how could Wang Xiaolai know that it was this letter that caused the royalists to burn the general's mansion at night, and the female son of heaven was angry and beheaded Qingyun.

Of course, that's all for later.

···

Today is the time when the royal hunting ground is lively, the empress, the eight sages king, Liu Maolin, Cai Bingwen, Ma Bang, Jin Shichang, Ning Shiguang, Shen, Liu, Ning everyone, together with the general Wang Xiaolai, all rushed to the hunting ground.

There is no other reason, because today is a three-day gunpowder test, and it will not end until the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve.

Watching the hot air balloon slowly rise into the air, Wang Xiaolai stood beside the empress, looking at an ownerless hunting ground in front of him, as far as the eye could see, and there was no one for hundreds of miles.

The place where the royal hunting ground is located is already remote, not to mention the population, even if there are few animals and birds.

The only one who lives near the hunting ground is Liu Mianyi's father-in-law's family, but long before the test began, his father-in-law Liang Laohan took Liu Mianyi's wife and children to Daxing City.

"Let's get started."

On a high platform that was built up to three or four feet, the empress bowed her head gently.

Wang Xiaolai nodded and shouted at Xian Jingyu under the stage.

Xian Jingyu saw it and understood it in his heart, so he grabbed the dragon flag next to him and shook it back and forth.

Ma Bang, who was promoted from Captain Yulin to the commander of the Air Force, gave an order, and the three hundred hot air balloons used for testing slowly rose into the air.

Wang Xiao looked at the hot air balloon in the air and said: "The first day of the test is a test explosion of 3,000 explosives, and at the same time, it is also to familiarize General Ma with the feeling of air-to-ground combat in advance." ”

The empress nodded, to be honest, she hadn't seen how the hot air balloon and gunpowder would react when combined, and she nodded at the moment, and her breathing became short.

Not only the empress, but even Liu Maolin, the king of the eight sages, and others are the same.

Jin Shichang quietly pushed Shen Xiping under the high platform and asked, "Old Shen, is that the air force that the general said?" ”

Jin Shichang did not participate in the previous battle of the Western Frontier, so it is understandable not to know about the hot air balloon.

Shen Xiping nodded, and smiled evilly: "Look, it will definitely surprise you." ”

To be honest, Jin Shichang was surprised enough to see the hot air balloon flying, but listening to Shen Xiping, what is more powerful?

As soon as he wondered in his heart, Shen Xiping immediately pointed to the three hundred hot air balloons in the sky and said, "It's here!" ”

Hearing this, Jin Shichang was excited, and he hurriedly looked up, and saw that those hot air balloons were slowly floating forward under human control.

Directly below the hot air balloon, there are thousands of scarecrows in leather armor that have been tied up in advance.

When the hot air balloon floated to the sky directly above the scarecrow phalanx, there was a roar of thunder, followed by the hot air balloon, and successively threw countless clay pots the size of human heads to the ground, not only that, but also the bamboo tube like an adult's arm was thrown down, and the bamboo tube was tightly wound with iron bars and other things.

Jin Shichang couldn't take his eyes off it, and when the clay pot and the bamboo tube were only four or five steps away from the ground, he suddenly saw a thunderclap in the flat ground, rumbling like a signal, one after another, and a loud sound like fried beans exploded.

The scarecrow phalanx was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.

When the three hundred hot air balloons flew over the scarecrow phalanx, and then looked at the thousands of scarecrow squares on the ground, which had already been reduced to ruins.

Even some innocent trees and flowers in the vicinity were swept in.

It was like an angry Thor raining down his anger, and the area that had been densely bombarded was no longer lifeless.

Jin Shichang was stunned on the spot.

Not only him, but everyone present except Wang Xiaolai also performed like this.

The empress was on the high platform, and she could see farther than the soldiers on the flat ground, and she clearly saw the process of the previous bombardment.

Although the duration was unusually short, the firepower that poured down in that moment was something that I had never seen in my life.

"This is the advantage of the Air Force, when the hot air balloon rises to a certain height, the ground forces can no longer threaten the Air Force except for ultra-long-range weapons such as crossbow bed crossbows, and the Air Force units equipped with gunpowder, only need to calculate the distance, it is a slaughter with zero losses!"

Wang Xiaolai waved his hand.

When he had finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the few people standing on the high platform.

I always heard Wang Xiao say how powerful the air is to the ground before, but I have never seen it, but today I have seen it, how are the Eight Sages King and others not shocked?

"But these days, Echo Valley has made a total of three or four hundred thousand gunpowder, otherwise, I would like your majesty to see what it looks like to be in ruins within a hundred miles." Wang Xiaolai said.

The empress recovered from the shock with difficulty, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointed to the scarecrow phalanx that had turned into ruins, and said, "You, do you mean that there are three or four hundred thousand such weapons?" ”
