Since there was no way to leave his hand, Han Du looked at Tao Chengdao who was still unconscious at the bottom of the hanging basket and had no choice but to wrap his robe around him with his feet.
Perhaps under the light of the flames, Tao Chengdao's body felt a little warm. Tao Chengdao, who was imprinted in Han Du's pupils, seemed to have fewer water drops on his face, but there was still no sign of waking up.
"Just to take a look at the scene in the sky, you won't flinch even if your life is on the line. Why bother?" Han Du murmured to himself, shaking his head slightly. Maybe he was lamenting Tao Chengdao's stupidity? I still feel worthless for him.
But now Han Du has no time to care about Tao Chengdao, and all his energy is focused on the hot air balloon. Handu not only had to control the falling speed of the hot air balloon, but also took into account how much fuel was left.
As for where the hot air balloon was blown by the wind, Han Du couldn't care less. Now the top priority is to be able to return to the ground safely, and everything else doesn't matter.
Jiang Wei led a group of cavalry out of the campus and chased the hot air balloon in the direction it flew. Obviously he was not looking at the hot air balloon very fast, but what he couldn't understand was that no matter how fast he tried, he could not catch up with the hot air balloon. Instead, he was getting further and further away from the hot air balloon.
Later, the hot air balloon even flew directly into the clouds and disappeared.
"Sir, I'm gone, what should we do?"
The subordinate's words made Jiang Wei very angry, but now was not the time to have a fight with him.
He had no choice but to hit the horse on the butt with the riding crop and shouted: "Chase, keep chasing!"
But without a goal, it is easiest for those chasing you to become slack. After chasing for a while, he still found nothing. Jiang Wei himself involuntarily slowed down until he stopped on the spot, looking blankly at the sky around him, hoping to find some trace.
But no matter how painful his eyes were, he still didn't see anything.
Just when Jiang Wei lowered his head and gave up, the subordinate suddenly shouted: "Look, sir, over there!"
Jiang Wei looked in the direction of his subordinate's fingers, and sure enough he saw the hot air balloon slowly falling. Suddenly he laughed happily and said: "You are really our lucky general, hurry up, chase after you."
The group of people whipped their horses and continued to chase the hot air balloon.
Han Du finally breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the ground that was getting closer and closer and that there was still a lot of fuel left.
People on the ground didn't notice what was happening in the sky at first, but when someone looked up and saw the huge hot air balloon, they immediately screamed.
In an instant, countless people put down their work and looked up to see a huge thing falling towards their heads like a mountain.
"Ah..." The people at the landing point of the hot air balloon were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Who is so bold as to dare to break in here?"
Han Du finally added some firepower and made the hot air balloon rush in the opposite direction, completely eliminating the falling speed before falling smoothly to the ground.
As soon as the hanging basket touched the ground, Han Du immediately shut down and extinguished the flame completely. Facing the loud shouts from outsiders, Han Du didn't care at all.
With difficulty, he stretched out his frozen hands, grabbed the edge of the hanging basket, and struggled to move himself out.
The people on the ground watched the behemoth fall quietly, and none of them dared to rush up. Even the person who shouted just now was holding a long knife against the hanging basket, but did not dare to rush up.
A pale, bloodless hand suddenly appeared at the edge of the hanging basket, startling everyone and taking a big step back.
After Handu Handu struggled and rolled out of the hanging basket, the person who had just shouted suddenly opened his eyes in surprise, and the long knife in his hand quietly fell to the ground.
"Master Hou!"
This man was as strong as a man, with sinews all over his body. He rushed forward with a few quick steps and quickly helped Han Du up from the ground. Han Du was all wet, as if he had fallen into the water. As soon as he made contact, the strong man felt as if he was holding a piece of ice, which was biting to the bone.
Han Du trembled and tried to open his eyes. He didn't recognize the person in front of him. However, Han Du didn't care too much, stretched out his finger, pointed into the hanging basket, and said two words with difficulty, "Save, save..."
The strong man suddenly glanced inside the hanging basket, only to realize that there was another person inside who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He quickly shouted to the others, "Come here quickly to save people. Go find Lao Tan quickly."
Han Du's mind was still clear and he uttered another word, "Fire..."
The strong man had a clever mind. Hearing this, he immediately shouted: "Fire, fire, fire, quickly carry the Marquis and this man over and let them warm themselves by the fire."
Under the command of the strong man, everyone carried Han Du and Tao Chengdao to the stove. Since all coal stoves are used here, there is no way for the two of them to warm themselves up like this.
The strong man took out the burning briquettes from the coal stove and placed them all on the ground. He also placed some pebbles next to the briquettes.
A gust of hot air enveloped him, and Han Du suddenly felt that his life was revitalized again. He was now able to squat on the ground without anyone's support.
"Uh... uh..." Han Du Leng's teeth chattered up and down uncontrollably.
Seeing that Han Du was getting better, the strong man smiled and asked softly: "What happened to Mr. Marquis? Why did he come out of that thing and still be so cold?"
Although it is not the scorching summer season now, the weather is still a bit hot. In such weather, the strong man didn't know how the Marquis could be so cold. "Thank you...for saving...my life. May I ask...who are you?" Han Du was extremely clear-headed, but he couldn't control his words and fights, and could only do two things. The words jumped out.
The strong man quickly bowed his hands and replied: "The little man Hou Bing does not deserve the Marquis's gift. This is a coal mine. When the little man was guarding here, I was lucky enough to meet the Marquis."
Han Du turned around and glanced around, only to realize that he had landed in the coal mine. It's a good thing he landed here. If he landed in the wilderness, Han Du himself wouldn't be sure he could survive.
At this moment, Lao Tan, the doctor Hou Bing mentioned, finally arrived.
I saw a wooden box hanging on Lao Tan's shoulder. He walked over and saw Tao Chengdao's critical situation. He quickly ordered the people around him: "Quickly, take off all his clothes, dry him with a dry cloth, and bring over a few more quilts."
Han Du breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. This doctor is a capable doctor, not a quack.
Everyone was obviously very familiar with the doctor and obeyed his orders. Immediately, someone went to get a dry cloth, someone went to get a quilt, and someone took off all the wet clothes on Tao Chengdao.
The quilt was spread on the ground, and everyone lifted Tao Chengdao, who had dried himself, onto the quilt, heated the quilt and covered him.
Han Du took off all his clothes, dried them with Hou Bing's help, and put on dry clothes again. I suddenly felt better again, but I still felt cold, but I no longer shivered. He tried his best to walk to Tao Chengdao and asked the doctor, "How is he doing?"
The doctor was certainly annoyed that someone was interrupting him while he was treating illnesses and saving lives, but he was not blind. Just by taking off the robe from Tao Chengdao, he could see that it was not an ordinary brocade robe at all, but the robe of a marquis.
A marquis was on the verge of life and death, and he was actually frozen in this weather. Such a strange scene couldn't help but arouse his curiosity.
"Back to the noble man, if he were in his prime like the noble man, he could almost be saved. But after all, he is too old, and his condition is much more serious than the noble man. Whether he can be saved, the villain is not sure. .”
Han Du nodded when he heard this, and did not blame the doctor, but said, "Treat him with all your strength, do your best, I don't blame you."
"Thank you for your understanding, Lord Marquis. Don't worry, Lord Marquis. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I will do my best." Lao Tan, the doctor, quickly returned his hand.
"Go quickly." Han Du nodded and urged.
The doctor immediately turned around and began to direct everyone to treat Tao Chengdao as if no one else was around. Medicine stones are almost useless for people who are frozen. The most important thing now is to restore the temperature of Tao Chengdao's body as quickly as possible.
At this moment, a sound of horseshoes clattering came over.
Jiang Wei ran all the way and finally found this place.
When people in the mine see someone rushing in without politeness, they immediately stand up and stop him.
Jiang Wei had a ferocious look on his face, brandished his knife and shouted: "The Yiluan Division is doing its work, and anyone who blocks it will die!"
Yiluansi!
The people in the mine were so frightened that they quickly dispersed to both sides, allowing Jiang Wei and others to drive straight in. Ordinary people may not know what Yiluansi is about, but this mine is the property of the royal family, and the managers are all people from the imperial village. Naturally, they know Yiluansi's prestigious reputation in the palace.
Han Du stood up and heard the sound and saw Jiang Yu riding directly in front of him.
Jiang Wei turned over and quickly went up to Han Du and asked with concern: "Master Marquis, are you okay?"
Han Du shook his head and said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for your concern. I am fine. However, Wanhu has something to do."
With that said, he gestured towards Tao Chengdao.
Jiang Wei glanced in the direction indicated by Han Du and suddenly said in shock: "What's going on with Wanhu?"
Han Du tightened his tight clothes and said: "I was frozen and passed out. I still haven't woken up yet, and I don't know if I can wake up."
"So serious? Where did Mr. Hou and Wan Hu go? How could they be frozen?" Jiang Yingming knew that Han Du had flown into the sky, but he still asked curiously. In fact, he also wanted to know whether Han Du and Wan Hu had encountered something in the sky when they were frozen.
Han Du didn't have the intention to explain this to Jiang Yu now. He just said, "The higher you go, the colder it gets. How come you won't freeze to death?" and sent him away.
Seeing that Han Du had no intention of elaborating, Jiang Wei did not dare to ask more questions, so he said: "In that case, I will report to the emperor now, hoping that the emperor can send an imperial doctor to treat Wanhu."
Han Du nodded and ignored Jiang Yu. He walked to Tao Chengdao again and looked at him with worried eyes.
Jiang Wei quickly got on his horse and rode away.
After the doctor Lao Tan continued to direct everyone to keep Tao Chengdao warm, with the efforts of more than a dozen people, although Tao Chengdao had not yet woken up, his face lost its paleness and regained its color. His pulse and breathing also became much more stable.
When it was getting dark, Jiang Yu finally came with three imperial doctors. Along with them were Zhu Biao and An Qing, who looked worried.
But Lao Zhu didn't come. First of all, Lao Zhu himself was too old and couldn't withstand the torment of the horse. Even if he wants to come, he can only sit on the imperial court. With such a long distance, it would be dark by the time he arrived. Rather than delaying the imperial doctor's arrival to treat Tao Chengdao, it would be better for him to go back to the palace and wait.
Secondly, today, in full public view, someone in the Ming Dynasty successfully achieved flying to the sky. This was the time when the people were inexplicably excited. In this situation, it was chaotic and complicated, and anything could happen. It would be better for him to stay in the palace.
As soon as Zhu Biao got off his horse, he rushed up and asked, "How are you? How is Wanhu?"
Han Du raised his head and gave An Qing a reassuring look, and said: "I'm fine, but Wanhu is fine. Although he's much better now than at the beginning, he hasn't woken up yet. How it is will be determined after the imperial doctor has seen it. Know."
Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Han Du was fine. Hearing that Tao Chengdao had fallen into a coma and had not yet woken up, he immediately said to the three imperial doctors: "Quick, try your best to treat Wanhu."
Three imperial doctors quickly stepped forward to feel Tao Chengdao's pulse and examine his injuries.
At this time, Han Du took a step forward, took An Qing's hand and said, "Why are you still allowed to come?"
An Qing immediately waved his hand, wanting to hit Han Du, but suddenly thought that he had not recovered yet, so he put his hand down again. Hyun looked at Han Du with tears in her eyes and said, "Why do you act so recklessly? You scared me to death, do you know that?"
Zhu Biao glanced at the three imperial doctors who were busy, and after listening to An Qing's words, he turned around and said to Han Du with a stern face: "Why are you so careless about what you do? Now that things are like this, if something happens to ten thousand households, How can I explain to my father?"
Zhu Biao, the brother-in-law, was quite good. Although he spoke, he was reprimanding Han Du on the surface. But he was actually taking the responsibility. When Tao Cheng revealed the matter, he explained it to his father, but did not let Han Du explain it. This is proof.
Upon hearing this, Han Du glanced at Zhu Biao and An Qing in disbelief, and asked in surprise: "Do you think it's me who wants to fly so high?"
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Han Du had no choice but to explain with a wry smile: "I originally just wanted to fly a little higher and stay in the air longer, but I never thought about flying into the sky."
"What on earth is going on?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but asked in surprise.
Han Du helplessly pointed at Tao Chengdao, who was still unconscious, and said, "Wanhu wanted to see what was in the sky, so he insisted on flying to the sky."
Zhu Biao suddenly thought of something, frowned and said: "Wanhu wants to go up, and you just let him go up? Don't you know how to stop him?"
"I wanted to stop him. But he said that if I stopped him, he would jump down from above. How could I stop him?" Han Du was also depressed, looking at Zhu Biao helplessly with his hands spread out.
When Zhu Biao heard this, he sighed heavily and said nothing. He believed that Han Du would not lie to him about such a thing, and it was even more impossible for Han Du to put the blame on Tao Chengdao. Based on Zhu Biao's understanding of Han Du, Han Du was not such a person at all.
On the contrary, Tao Chengdao was completely able to do such a thing. After all, his obsession with Feitian is well known. In order to fly into the sky, he can even come up with the idea of riding a rocket car. What else can't he do?
As for such a trivial matter as threatening Han Du with his life, it was even more trivial to Tao Chengdao.
After several imperial doctors carefully examined Tao Chengdao, they discussed it for a while, and then the leading imperial doctor reported to Zhu Biao: "Your Highness, although Wanhu was severely frozen, he was treated in time and handled very well. Okay, now his life is not serious. He just needs some good care and he should wake up."
Zhu Biao immediately felt relieved after hearing this. What he was most worried about before coming was Han Du and Tao Chengdao. After arriving, he found that Han Du was fine, which relieved Zhu Biao's worries. Now that he heard such good news, Zhu Biao was finally relieved.
He looked up and asked seriously: "Is it the Wanhu who treated you?"
When Hou Bing, who had been following Han Du, heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he whispered in Han Du's ear: "Master Hou, is that Wan Hu?"
"Yeah, why, you know?" Han Du looked back at Hou Bing curiously, a little surprised that he was so well-informed. You know, Tao Chengdao has always lived in seclusion. Let alone an ordinary person, even Han Du had never heard of his name.
But how could Hou Bing, a young man, know?
Hou Bing nodded and whispered: "I heard it from my father. I heard that Wanhu was a master craftsman in making firearms in the Ming Dynasty. He made countless firearms for the Ming Dynasty. When my father was in the Ming army, he was a firearms soldier. , I am most respectful to Wanhu. Every time my father mentions Wanhu, his face is full of respect."
"Oh? Your father has met Wanhu?" Han Du asked curiously.
Hou Bing shook his head and said, "We also asked this question, but my father didn't say anything and even beat me up."
When Han Du heard this, he burst into laughter and said meaningfully: "Don't be too curious, otherwise you won't know how you will suffer."
The doctor Lao Tan saw Zhu Biao wearing a bright yellow python robe, how could he not know that this was His Highness the Crown Prince? Facing the prince's inquiry, he instinctively wanted to hide behind him, but was pushed out by the person behind him.
Zhu Biao's eyes immediately fell on Lao Tan. Seeing that he was carrying a wooden box that doctors often carry, he asked: "Don't be afraid. Haosheng answered Gu, was it you who saved ten thousand households?"
"The common people pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince." Old Tan knelt down and bowed to Zhu Biao.
When the others heard that it was His Highness the Crown Prince, they immediately knelt down and worshiped.
Zhu Biao had long been accustomed to such scenes. He accepted everyone's kneeling and bowed generously, and then said: "Everyone, get up."
Then he looked at Lao Tan and continued to ask: "Did you save Wanhu?"
