Chapter 435: I’ll take you to pretend x and take you flying
"Brother, how's it going? Is anyone following us?"
On a small road in the north of the capital, a carriage was swaying. Young Master Liu, Song Qing, and Wuming were riding on the horse as if they were sightseeing, chatting while walking.
Song Qing looked back and took out his telescope, then dismounted his horse and placed his ears on the ground to listen quietly.
Young Master Liu had long heard about this ability of the ancients, and always thought it was just a rumor. After seeing it more often, he didn't make a fuss.
But it still feels amazing. The horses' steps are so chaotic when galloping, and how many people and horses can be heard from the vibrations on the ground is really incredible.
It is so accurate that people are speechless, and generally the judgment will not be wrong by about two horses.
In Song Qing's words, his skills are nothing more than a rudimentary skill for an old man in the army. A truly capable person can accurately judge the number of enemies from several miles away.
If there are ten horses, there will never be one more or one less. This is the skill.
There are no skills at all, it all depends on experience, and it has to be amazing and hard to accept.
"No one was following us. Maybe the Jin people thought we didn't need to escape and didn't send anyone to follow us."
"That's good, that's good. It's very uncomfortable to be under other people's eyes and feel like a ray of light on your back."
Lu Wuming looked at the desolate wilderness around him: "Master Liu, what are we doing here? The Turkic war horses seem to be locked up at the horse farm to the west of the capital. Wouldn't it be completely different for us to go north?"
Young Master Liu shook his head helplessly, wondering how Lu Wuming could learn so many languages with his IQ: "The intention of rushing directly to the west is too obvious, and the transaction of tens of thousands of war horses must have countless spies, and there are countless spies who can meet on the road. The passers-by are the spies planted by the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, so we can only take a detour from another place."
"Third brother, it may not be appropriate to take a roundabout way through this road. According to the map, there is a natural barrier to the northwest of the capital of the Jin Kingdom, a stretch of swampland for more than ten miles. The Jin Kingdom is too cold, and there are still some thin layers of sediment. The snow has not melted yet, if we accidentally enter the swamp, we will have to explain it today."
Liu Mingzhi took out his telescope and looked at it: "Mr. Lu, brother, take a closer look. The area a few miles away is deserted. There is not even a single footprint of a wild beast. It is most likely a swamp. There are no traces of wild beasts." They are much smarter than us."
Song and Qing also looked in the direction that Young Master Liu was pointing, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Third brother, no wonder the west gate of the Jin Kingdom's capital is so empty of guards at the north gate. With this swamp, tens of thousands of troops are not enough to fill it. If we take a roundabout way, we will be discovered by Jin Kingdom's scouts, and we can immediately establish a defense line. The guy who built the city back then was a character.”
"That's right, you two adults, you see, the swamp is in the shape of a crescent, protecting half of the west and north of the capital of the Jin Kingdom. When there is an enemy attack, you can concentrate your troops on the east and south to defend and attack. The enemy does not dare to attack. Set up camp outside the city, otherwise you will have no way out."
"Otherwise! "Sun Tzu's Art of War" says to risk your life and survive. If I were the leader of the attack, I would definitely place a surprise army here. If I don't fight, I will perish. If the retreat is cut off, I can only fight to the death, but I will receive It’s an unexpected effect, but you can’t do it unless it’s absolutely necessary. It’s just filling the city with human lives.”
"Third brother, stop talking about these useless things. How can we detour to the racecourse in the west of the city and find out more about it, or try to destroy this transaction as much as possible."
"Why go around, just fly over."
"Third brother, are you confused by the fever? Even I can only take ten breaths in the air without landing. Wouldn't it be nonsense to fly over there?"
Lu Wuming also looked at Young Master Liu hesitantly, obviously not believing what Young Master Liu said.
Flying over, since ancient times, many people have longed to soar in the sky like a bird, but looking at ancient and modern times, how many people have been able to get their wish.
"Hiss, ouch."
"Third brother, why are you pulling my hair?" Song Qing covered the back of his head and looked at Young Master Liu resentfully.
"It hurts so much to pull yourself. Don't worry. I'll lend you some of your hair so you can see it in heaven. It's a good deal."
Young Master Liu ignored Song Qing, who kept rolling his eyes, holding up a strand of hair to test the direction of the wind, and then felt the strength of the wind with his hands.
"God help me, the southeast wind is of moderate strength, suitable for liftoff. Brother, Mr. Lu, please move the boxes off the carriage."
"What are you doing moving boxes?"
"You can move it as soon as you are asked. Whether you can go to heaven or not depends on these things."
"I'm crazy. I'm really crazy. Lin Zida is really a bird of all kinds."
Although Song Qing's tone was dissatisfied, he still cooperated with Liu Mingzhi and Lu Wuming to move several large boxes from the carriage.
Young Master Liu began to direct the two of them to tinker in a deserted place, saying that it was most appropriate to use a telescope in the sky to observe the conditions of the racecourse in a hot air balloon.
Young Master Liu began to use bottles and cans to add various things to a special container on the basket.
"Third brother, why does it smell like wine?"
"Look more, ask less, and you will know in a while."
When everything was ready, Mr. Liu checked again and again. Although he had already tested it once, he still had to be cautious. It would be embarrassing if he lost his life.
"Brother, Mr. Lu, hide the mount in a place where it is not easy to find. We are ready to go to heaven."
After the three people were busy, they stood in the basket below. Young Master Li took out the container and pointed it at it: "Brother, Mr. Lu, I will ask you to throw sandbags in a moment, so you can throw sandbags."
"I know, I know, it's long-winded."
Song Qing yawned and suppressed his mouth, his expression became listless. He still did not believe that Young Master Liu could really make him go to heaven. He could do Qinggong on his own, and going to heaven was just a book of heaven.
A thick fire burned from the container, gradually rising, and the air in the sphere gradually became lighter.
"Throw the sandbag, hurry up."
Song Qing raised his hands, several sandbags were thrown out of the basket, and the hot air balloon slowly flew up.
Mr. Liu tightly grasped the edge of the basket: "Brother, Mr. Lu, you must tie the rope around your waist, otherwise you will be smashed into a pulp if you fall."
However, Young Master Liu didn't hear the two people's response. He turned around and saw the two men shaking the rope like chaff, looking at the gradually shrinking city with horrified expressions.
After the hot air balloon stabilized, Mr. Liu stood up and looked down, shaking his head helplessly: "The burning value is still not enough. We can only fly so high. It's enough to escape."
"Brother, Mr. Lu, how are you? Doesn't it feel good to see the mountains and small mountains at a glance?"
"Third brother!"
"Master Liu!"
"Are we really in heaven?"
"Not a dream?"
"I'll take you flying when I say I'll take you. Can I still lie to you? I'll let you control the rope to fly to the racecourse in the west later. Be sure to use the telescope to observe the situation at the racecourse. This thing won't last long, and the fuel is still there. Big problem."
After a brief period of absence and comfort from Young Master Liu, the two gradually calmed down and looked towards the racecourse with their telescopes, silently remembering what they saw in their hearts.
About half an hour later, Young Master Liu saw the gradually weakening flames: "Brother, the rope on the left is pulled down, it won't last long."
"good."
