I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 204 Sending You To Heaven
Tao'er was slightly taken aback, her eyes showed a trance, in her impression, after the wife got married, she only did one thing, reading.

The master does not allow his wife to leave this courtyard, and he never takes the initiative to find his wife.

For such a long time, Madam has only met Master a few times, saying that they are husband and wife, but they are actually strangers.

Although these are facts, seeing Li Yaoyue's slightly expectant eyes.

Tao'er still showed a look of hesitation, she was silent for a while, and said softly: "Madam, you have a cold temper, and the master is usually busy with government affairs, so..."

Speaking of which, it stopped abruptly.

Li Yaoyue, who was extremely intelligent, realized something and felt a little dazed.

No wonder he was so indifferent yesterday, it turned out that he was also indifferent.

Such a good husband, why didn't my later self cherish it?

Li Yaoyue didn't quite understand, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do I usually do when he is on duty?"

Tao'er said: "Read."

That hasn't changed much.

Li Yaoyue nodded lightly, thinking that the imperial doctor told her to stay in bed, and there was nothing to do for the time being, so why not read a book to relieve boredom, so she asked, "Do you have any books?"

The majestic Xiangguo Mansion naturally has no shortage of books.

My wife likes to read some ancient books on weekdays.

In Tao'er's eyes, those ancient books were obscure and lifeless.

Sometimes, she wondered if the madam's cold temper might have something to do with reading these books.

Therefore, when I heard this question, I almost didn't hesitate, and immediately replied: "Yes."

As he said that, he trotted out of the room, took back a beautifully framed book after a while, put it on with both hands, and said with sparkling eyes, "Ma'am, many people have read this book recently, it is very beautiful."

Li Yaoyue reached out to take the book, looked down, and there were three words on the cover——Romance of the West Chamber.

"The Story of the West Chamber? Is it a storybook?"

Li Yaoyue, who had never read a script before, hesitated for a moment, but reached out and turned to the first page, and read it intently.

…………

at the same time.

The outskirts of Chang'an City.

somewhere in the open space.

Wu Mingkong looked at the hanging basket, the hemp rope, and the cloth of unknown material, his eyes showed curiosity, and asked, "Can this thing really fly?"

The quality of the hot air balloon produced by the system is trustworthy. It must be no problem to fly, and the safety should be, probably, maybe. No problem.

Therefore, Fang Xiu vowed, "Yes."

Wu Mingkong looked at the completely unfamiliar thing, but still felt a little unreliable. His beautiful peach blossom eyes showed worry, he stretched out his small hand, tugged at Fang Xiu's official robe, and said softly: "I think we should not go to heaven anymore. Bar."

Even the supreme empress is always skeptical about new things that she has never touched.

Although after listening to Fang Xiu's explanation, I know that this thing called "hot air balloon" is indeed feasible in principle, but if I haven't tried it, who can know?
What if you go up to the sky and can't come down?
Or, halfway through the flight, an owl comes and catches the hot air balloon, so what?
In the sky, even a little misfortune can lead to death.

Wu Mingkong didn't want Fang Xiu to take such a risk because of his casual sentence.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this thing is safe."

Fang Xiu lightly patted the little empress' arm to comfort her.

not far away.

The shadow guards have followed Fang Xiu's instructions and fixed the hot air balloon with long hemp ropes.

The next thing to do is to activate the valve and let the hot air balloon gradually rise into the air.

Wu Mingkong looked at the hot air balloon that was constantly emitting flames, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes became more worried, and his heart became inexplicably nervous, he tightly grasped the corner of Fang Xiu's clothes, and said, "No!" God, okay?"

[Emotion value +10000]

A cold system prompt sounded.

Fang Xiu was startled slightly, and comforted him softly.

"nothing."

The hanging basket gradually hangs in the air.

Wu Mingkong's heart trembled slightly, and he held Fang Xiu tightly, his voice trembling slightly.

"I won't let you go."

Fang Xiu was startled, and said, "I didn't say I would go."

Wu Mingkong was slightly dazed, his eyes showed a look of bewilderment, he thought that the hot air balloon was his invention, if he didn't go, who would?
Noticing the look in the empress' eyes, Fang Xiu understood what she was thinking, without explaining, he just said casually: "No matter how safe the hot air balloon is, accidents may happen. I will not take my own life as a trifling matter."

Wu Mingkong asked curiously: "Then who will go?"

Fang Xiu didn't answer, but turned his head slowly and looked behind him.

Wu Mingkong followed his gaze, and saw a poor little boy standing there with a dazed expression, not realizing what happened.

Noticing Fang Xiu's eyes, poor little Lin Wan'er realized something, opened her mouth slightly, her eyes showed panic, waved her hands hastily, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no, this slave will know nothing!"

Fang Xiu said casually: "If you don't know it, you can learn it, and not everyone can operate a hot air balloon from birth."

Seeing Fang Xiu's serious look, Lin Wan'er didn't seem to be joking, she panicked immediately, her delicate face showed a trace of fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Your maidservant is very stupid, I'm sure you won't be able to learn anything after just a short while."

Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can do everything in the sky."

"."

Lin Wan'er was speechless for a while, her pretty eyes were covered with mist, and she said in a crying voice: "If you fall down, the servant will die."

Fang Xiu said in a deep voice: "That can be regarded as dedicating oneself to the imperial court, the truth and His Majesty will remember you."

"woooooo"

Hearing this, Lin Wan'er could no longer restrain the fear in her heart, her eyes were slightly red, tears welled up, and she cried out.

"Your Majesty's servants are afraid."

Lin Wan'er looked at the empress with tears in her eyes, and cast a look for help.

Wu Mingkong knew in his heart that it was impossible for Fang Xiu to let Lin Wan'er, a little girl, fly the hot air balloon to the sky alone. He wanted to appease the poor little girl, saying that he was trying to scare you.

However, for some reason, thinking back to the time, the little maid who was getting more and more courageous said many things, she felt flirtatious, and said solemnly: "Fang Xiu is right, I will remember you."

Even His Majesty, who was always serious, said so. At this moment, Lin Wan'er really broke her defenses, and the tears couldn't stop falling. She looked pitiful and burst into tears.

"woooooo"

Seeing Lin Wan'er's pitiful appearance, Wu Mingkong couldn't help but chuckle.

Fang Xiu on the side couldn't help laughing.

He retracted his gaze, looked at a few people not far away, and explained:

"Before the minister came, he had already taught the shadow guard how to operate the hot air balloon."

Hearing this, the crying behind him stopped abruptly.

Lin Wan'er wiped away her tears, her eyes sparkled slightly, she knew that His Majesty and Master Xiang were not willing to let her die.

now.

Wu Mingkong seemed to have noticed something, pointed to the people beside the Shadow Guard, and asked, "Who are they?"

Fang Xiudao: "The artisans selected by the Ministry of Industry."

Before the empress could ask any questions, she continued:
"Actually, today's test flight of the hot air balloon is not just to satisfy His Majesty's wish to go to heaven, but also to allow craftsmen to observe and prepare for mass production."

Mass production?

Wu Mingkong was startled, turned his head to look at Fang Xiu, and asked curiously, "What's the use of mass producing this thing?"

Fang Xiudao: "There are many uses. Firstly, it can satisfy His Majesty's wish to go to heaven. The fee is charged per session, ten taels of silver per session."

Wu Mingkong's pretty face flushed slightly, and he thought, why do you keep mentioning me? But this traitor is really full of business, a hot air balloon can play tricks.

Followed by.

Fang Xiu said again: "The second one can be used on the battlefield as a vehicle for weapons."

Wu Mingkong was startled again, looked at Fang Xiu with watery eyes, blinked lightly, and asked curiously: "This hot air balloon can only lift into the air, but can't fly. How can it be used on the battlefield?"

Fang Xiu asked back: "Who told Your Majesty that it can't fly?"

It doesn't have wings, so it can't control Fang Xiang at all, so how can it fly.

Wu Mingkong thought for a moment, then pouted and said, "You mean to use the wind to control the direction?"

"Why not?"

"However, if the wind direction changes, wouldn't the soldiers on the hanging basket be in danger?"

Hearing this, Fang Xiu sighed leisurely, and said in a deep voice, "Where is not a dangerous place on the battlefield? If one or two people's lives can be exchanged for victory in a battle, even if they know that they must die, there will be some Countless warriors have followed suit."

Yes.

In war, people will die. As the old saying goes, once a general is successful, his bones will be wiped out. In the face of victory, what are a few human lives worth?
Wu Mingkong realized this and sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say.

at this time.

Fang Xiu continued: "In fact, as long as the preparations are made in the early stage, the direction of the wind is clear, and the response is made in advance, the people on the hanging basket may not fall into the hands of the enemy.

What's more, hot air balloons must be used at the most critical time when they are put into the battlefield. When the basket hits the ground, the battle may be over. "

Wu Mingkong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he thought of something, and worried: "What if I was shot by the enemy's sharpshooter?"

Fang Xiu chuckled, and said, "Your Majesty also underestimates the height of hot air balloons. What kind of sharpshooter can shoot arrows two or three hundred steps?"

After this problem was solved, Wu Mingkong opened his mouth and wanted to ask again.

Not far away came the voice of the shadow guard.

"Ready!"

The voice fell.

Fang Xiu and Wu Mingkong looked up at the same time, and saw the hanging basket soaring into the air, less than one step away from the ground.

In the middle of the hanging basket, flames are constantly spewing out.

Below, a shadow guard and several craftsmen stood on the hanging basket, waiting quietly.

Around, several hemp ropes tied the hot air balloon tightly to the ground.

at this time.

The wind is sunny and the sky is clear, which is a good time for hot air balloons to take off.

Without hesitation, Fang Xiu issued an order decisively.

"Launch!"

"Yes!"

The shadow guard got the order, pulled out the saber at his waist, and cut off a few ropes.

In an instant.

The hot air balloon began to rise continuously.

In just a moment, I reached the position of thirty or forty feet.

Wu Mingkong raised his small face, looking at the hot air balloon floating in mid-air, his beautiful peach blossom eyes sparkled.

In just a few days, Fang Xiu once again fulfilled his promise and achieved what she thought was completely impossible - sending people to heaven.

The sky is like a tight light blue satin, clear and bright, covering the colorful hot air balloons, which has a different kind of beauty.

look at.

A picture could not help but emerge in the empress's mind.

Standing on the gondola, she looked at the rainbow in the sky and opened her arms to welcome the breeze.

Behind him, Fang Xiu put his arms around her slender waist, and whispered his love in a gentle voice.

Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely satisfied.

"It's so beautiful"

Wu Mingkong narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and let out a sigh of emotion.

at the same time.

The craftsmen on the hanging basket looked at the ant-sized crowd not far away, and a heart hung in the air like a hot air balloon, accelerating and accelerating.

"When I first selected people, I didn't say I wanted to go to heaven."

A craftsman closed his eyes tightly, his body was shaking like a sieve, his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, and he almost knelt on the ground.

When the master of the Ministry of Industry came to select candidates, he only said that they should be bold and careful, able to accept new things, and know how to innovate.

He also said that the rewards are rich, but he didn't say that he would go to heaven!

If they had known earlier that they were going to fly in the sky, they would never have accepted the job.

It's so scary!
When the craftsman next to him heard this, he wanted to cry, but suppressed the fear in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "You can observe hot air balloons without going to the sky, why do you have to go to the sky?"

They are craftsmen who make hot air balloons, but not those who will control hot air balloons in the future. What's the point of going to heaven?
The shadow guard who controlled the hot air balloon took a look at him, and said indifferently: "My lord prime minister ordered that you have to sit on the hot air balloon yourself, and experience the feeling that if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces.

Only then can you know how important what you do is!Only then will you be cautious from the bottom of your heart! "

As soon as this word comes out.

The craftsmen were all taken aback, and they agreed somewhat in their hearts!
Xindao: What the prime minister said makes sense!
