21 The Way Home

It is said that Xie Yixiang drove the Mo family's "Tianxing" alone from the Mo Tower and rose into the night sky. As Mo Hanshan, the giant of the Mo family, said, with the help of the northwest wind in the north vein of the Tianshan Mountains, the entire "Tianxing" has indeed traveled to the southeast to control the sky. For a while, seeing the moonlight like water, Xie Yixiang was in mid-air, taking in the entire northern veins of the Tianshan Mountains, which was really not spectacular, which suddenly made her excited, and the original fear was also swept away.

After flying like this for several hours, until the end of the night, a rising sun like an egg yolk rose from the eastern horizon, and the "Tianxing" driven by Xie Yixiang had left the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and was about to arrive at Beishi Bali City in a blink of an eye. She was afraid that this "Tianxing" would fly too low and be discovered by the Wu'er sergeants in the city, and if it was shot with crossbow arrows, it would not be easy to deal with, so she hurriedly adjusted the switch on the cylinder in the bamboo basket, and increased the black oil sprayed from the mouth of the cylinder, so that the flames sprayed became more and more violent, thus driving the entire "Tianxing" to rise high and pass through the clouds. As a result, when flying over the city of Beshbali, looking down from the clouds, the houses in the city had become the size of copper coins, and the pedestrians in them were as small as grains of rice, and they could not see their bodies clearly.

Xie Yixiang naturally saw such a strange scene for the first time, although she had not slept all night, the whole person became more and more excited. However, this excitement did not last long, she remembered the analysis of De Yizi in Mota, if this little Taoist priest was unfortunately hit, Yan Sidao This time the setting up is really to let the king of Yi or Zhao who are stationed in the northwest wave their troops to the south and sneak attack the imperial city of Jinling in one fell swoop, I really don't know if I will be able to stop this matter if I rush back to Jinling at this time.

At this time, Xie Yixiang has thoroughly mastered the flight essentials of this "Tianxing", when there is no northwest wind, she controls the rise or lower of the "Tianxing" through the switch on the cylinder, until she finds the height of the northwest wind, so as to continue to fly in the southeast direction; The aftermath was a beautiful affair, which always allowed her to find the northwest wind, but it was only for an hour or two that she failed to meet a suitable wind direction, so she had to fly north for a while, and then immediately adjusted back.

In this way, Xie Yixiang continued to fly for two days and two nights, Xie Yixiang relied on the dry food and water in the bamboo basket to support his body, and on the third night, Xie Yixiang took advantage of the northwest wind, so he squinted in the bamboo basket for half an hour, but unexpectedly woke up and became a westerly wind, causing the whole "Tianxing" to fly eastward. Looking down further, I saw a muddy river flowing south in the night, but it turned a big bend in front of it and flowed to the east, which was the Yellow River. Looking at the trend of the Yellow River in this place, Xie Yixiang made a slight inference that he knew that he had arrived in the area where the Yellow River had been cleared, and if he continued to fly east along the Yellow River, he would be where Sanmenxia was located, and he had obviously deviated from the direction of Jinling.

So she hurriedly adjusted the flight altitude of the "Tianxing", but she could not find the location where the northwest wind was blowing, and after dawn, the westerly wind in mid-air became more and more vigorous, blowing the whole "Tianxing" like an arrow to the east, which lasted until dusk. Xie Yixiang was helpless, and then looked down from mid-air, only to see that the northeast direction under the sunset was a large narrow lake, which was clearly the Weishan Lake of Ludi, and he had reached the boundary of Xuzhou.

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, according to his position at the moment, Jinling City was almost in the direction of due south, if he continued to fly east, wouldn't he have to fly all the way to the Yellow Sea? However, in a moment, Weishan Lake in the afterglow of the sunset had been left far behind by "Tianxing", Xie Yixiang had no choice but to make a quick decision, and when it was dark, he took advantage of the night to land the entire "Tianxing" from mid-air and landed in a wilderness.

Although there was a small accident in this "Tianxing" when it landed, fortunately it was only in danger. Xie Yixiang jumped out of the bamboo basket and stepped on the land of the Central Plains with two feet again, and a strong sense of intimacy suddenly arose in his heart; and then recalled that he had traveled all the way to the sky, and it only took four days and five nights to fly back to the Central Plains from the northern vein of the Tianshan Mountains in the Western Regions, which was something that he could not have dreamed of, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid.

Then she packed up the things in the bamboo basket, and then activated the dark mechanism on the inner wall of the bamboo basket according to the method taught by Mo Hanshan, and the "Tianxing" burned on its own, and when it encountered the remaining black oil in the bamboo basket, the fire suddenly rose to the sky, causing the entire "Tianxing" to turn into a pile of ashes in an instant, leaving only the metal cylinder in the bamboo basket. This is because the Mo family is unwilling to let their organ information skills spread to the world, so Mo Hanshan had told Xie Yixiang to destroy it on the spot after it was used up.

When everything was arranged, Xie Yixiang couldn't take a break, and immediately set off overnight, heading south from this wilderness. After the night was over and the sky was slightly bright, I finally came to a village, and after inquiry, I arrived at a place called Majia Village in the north of Huai'an. She asked the villagers if there had been a large army from Mobei recently, and the villagers shook their heads and didn't know. Xie Yixiang didn't dare to stay longer, so he continued to move in the southwest direction according to the direction pointed out by the villagers, and finally came to Suqian in the north of Hongze Lake around noon.

Xie Yixiang had been to Suqian a few times when he was handling cases with the criminal arrest room before, and he was relatively familiar with this place, so he hurriedly found a restaurant to rest and ordered a famous local fat chicken to eat. She inquired in the restaurant again if there were any troops from the north recently, but there was still no gain, so after a hurried lunch, she rushed straight to the Suqian County Ya, revealed her identity as the head of the torture room, and asked the local arrester to find out the news. However, after a series of inquiries from her, from the common people to the arrest to the tolerance, no one had ever seen any army moving south from the north, let alone heard of anything like that. Regarding Xie Yixiang's inquiry, everyone said more about the Hengwang rebels who are currently in trouble in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but secretly said in her heart: "Could it be that Yizi guessed wrong, King Yi or King Zhao didn't have the intention of going south to usurp the throne at all?" If the purpose of Yan Sidao's strategy is to let King Yi or King Zhao of Mobei lead a strange army to quietly go south and suddenly attack Jinling, then how can this "strange army" march in a normal way and break through the passes and pull out the villages from place to place? If there really is such an army, it will naturally bypass the passes along the way and only choose the paths in the wilderness to march, how can it let the people in the city or villages know?

Thinking of this, Xie Yixiang didn't ask any more, and immediately went to the market to buy a fast horse and came out of the south of Suqian. She didn't care about the big roads and small roads, just ran according to Jinling in the south direction, no matter what, she still rushed back to Jinling first to tell her father about the matter, and her father, the general of the imperial court, made the decision. In this way, when it was dark again, Xie Yixiang had left the entire lake along the west bank of Hongze Lake and continued to walk in the barren mountains and wilderness. When she had traveled more than ten miles, she had discovered a large number of horseshoe prints, which had been left for a short time, all the way to the south, and at this scale, there were one or two thousand horses.
