After welcoming Ying Feiyu and others into the Longxi County Government, the county guard surnamed Chen sent a car outside the city to transport the hot air balloon back.

Looking at the pile of hot air balloons in the courtyard of the back office, the county guard's pupils suddenly dilated, and he asked suspiciously, "This is what can travel thousands of miles a day?" ”

"That's right, we took this Longxi that departed from Xianyang and arrived in Shenshi in the morning!"

Ying Feiyu nodded firmly.

"What? Can you arrive at the right time? ”

The onlookers were shocked.

If you take a carriage, it will take at least ten days to reach Xianyang, even if you are rushing quickly, it will take five or six days, and you can arrive in a hot air balloon before a day's work, which is really incredible!

"Isn't that faster than a train?"

"In that case, you don't need to build railroad tracks, just use hot air balloons?"

The guards asked suspiciously.

"Nope! The safety factor of the train is much higher than that of a hot air balloon, and even if the hot air balloon is fast, it cannot be used in large quantities and for a long time! ”

If it weren't for the fact that the railway from Jiaodong to Longxi had not been repaired, and the situation in Loulan was very critical, Ying Feiyu would never have chosen this way of travel!

Even in later generations when technology was very advanced, the accident rate of airplanes was much higher than that of trains.

For the sake of the long term, the train must be built!

"I see!"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Marquis Tongwu, generals, the meals have been prepared, please take your seats!"

After a few moments, the county guard ran over with a smile on his face and made a gesture of please.

After Ying Feiyu and the others filled their stomachs in the morning, they have not eaten water and rice until now.

Especially Wang Ben, not only did he not eat, but he vomited twice on the way, and he was hungry with his chest against his back.

As soon as they heard that the meal was served, everyone immediately cheered and jumped high and ran towards the Zhengya!

Time is in a hurry, it is impossible to make ten plates and eight bowls, only some simple meals can be prepared!

The soldiers were hungry, and they didn't care about what was delicious or not, so they grabbed chopsticks and stuffed them into their mouths frantically!

"Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, what kind of weapon was General Fan using just now, and why is it so powerful?"

During the banquet, the county guard picked a suitable opportunity and asked suspiciously.

The guards on both sides also pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

They were also very curious about why a swarthy stick could emit so much power!

"Do you know artillery?"

However, Ying Feiyu did not answer the rhetorical question.

"This is natural, my Daqin's recent victories, in addition to the heroism of the soldiers, are also inseparable from this siege weapon, cannon!"

The county guard nodded repeatedly.

Although he hadn't seen what this guy looked like, he could imagine it from the description of the newspaper.

"By the way, this time in the Loulan crisis, why didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come with a gang of cannons?"

"The cannon is bulky, and you can't bring a hot air balloon......!"

Ying Feiyu explained briefly, and then continued: "The stick you just said is equivalent to a shrunken cannon, although it can't attack the city, but it is a sharp weapon for charging on the battlefield, but whoever is shot has almost no chance of survival!" ”

"Sizzle......! I really didn't expect these inconspicuous things to be so powerful! ”

The county guard shuddered.

It's like these Flying Eagles soldiers in front of you.

It looks inconspicuous, but it is the elite of the Great Qin generals, and it is invincible on the battlefield!

"The weight that the hot air balloon can carry is limited, so we didn't bring any grain and grass, we need Longxi County to prepare our food and grass for three days, and tomorrow morning, we will go with the army!"

Ying Feiyu said with a straight face.

"Uh......! Good! ”

The warden thought for a moment, then nodded.

"Then there will be work!"

After they were full of wine and food, everyone went to the back office to rest, preparing to set off tomorrow and go to Yueshi.

At the same time, the Longxi county guard and the guards were not idle, opened the warehouse overnight, packed the grain into cloth bags, mobilized the carriage, loaded all the grain, and made a lot of noise.

"What's going on? Why did the county government suddenly open a warehouse to load grain? Could it be that the Yue clan is going to call? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, the Yue Clan is dealing with Loulan, how can it suddenly turn the spearhead and target our Great Qin?"

"That's it! Even if he wants to deal with it, he has to weigh whether he has the strength ......! ”

The sound of soldiers running and horses' hooves and wheels woke up many people, who came to the streets to inquire about the news.

If there is really any accident, they can help!

It didn't take long for a few people who had relatives in the county government to find out the news, turn back to the streets, and spread it to the people in the city.

"Don't worry, everyone, hurry back to sleep, it's not a bandit, it's not a foreign invasion, and there's no natural or man-made disaster! It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Marquis of Tongwu who came to the city with men and horses, and they will set off tomorrow to rescue Loulan, and they need three days of food and grass, and the government is preparing overnight! ”

"What? Xianyang sent someone so soon? ”

"The prince is here? Need food and grass? ”

The news spread ten, ten, hundreds, and soon spread throughout the city.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made too many contributions to our Great Qin, we have to help raise food and grass together, and we must not let the army go hungry!"

"That's right! Old woman, we still have a lot of eggs at home, right? Hurry up and put it in the basket, and I'll send it to the county office! ”

"There are still a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes in our cellar, hurry up and load them, and I will push the cart and send them to His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"I still have a lot of rice in my family that I don't want to eat, which just comes in handy!"

"My family doesn't have much food, but I just killed a pig, just to subsidize the soldiers with some oil and water......!"

However, after learning the news, the people not only did not go back to the house to continue sleeping, but rummaged through the cabinets in the house and took out the best things.

The street that should be quiet has become more lively than daytime!

"Folks, although there is not much grain stored in our county, there are only 3,000 soldiers sent by the imperial court, and what is prepared now is enough for them to eat!"

When the county guard saw the people who were swarming in, carrying baskets and pushing carts, he hurriedly dissuaded them.

However, the people did not listen at all, and insisted on leaving these things behind.

No matter how the county guard drank and ordered them to go back, they just didn't listen, and they were as stubborn as donkeys!

But if you accept it, I am afraid that the prince will blame it after dawn.

In desperation, he doesn't care, if you want to send it, it's the hearts of the people anyway!

So, after everything was ready, the county guard turned back to his house, fell asleep, and paid no more attention to these people!

……

On the second day, Wang Li got up and just opened the door of the county office, and was immediately overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the people.

"Child, hurry up and take these eggs back, the eldest mother has already cooked them, keep them for the road to eat!"

"I've loaded all these potatoes and carried them to the car!"

"Meat! This meat must be kept, once you get to the battlefield, you don't know when you will be able to eat meat again......! ”

After the gate was opened, the people immediately rushed up, and regardless of whether Wang Litong agreed or not, they directly put down the things.

"Thank you! Thanks a lot! ”

Wang Li couldn't think of any words of thanks for a while, so he could only keep thanking him.
