Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

Xiangyang City is surrounded by Xian Mountain on three sides.

According to the legend, Fuxi was buried here after his death and his body transformed into the mountains and peaks.

It is backed by the majestic Dajing Mountain, surrounded by the iron Xiangyang, and remotely controlled by the paper Fancheng. Its peaks and rocks penetrate directly into the surging Han River, dominating one side.

It is also a place that Fan Cheng Xinzuo's eyes can never reach.

At this moment, dusk is approaching... In the mountains, on a huge and flat platform, a large balloon is being inflated. This balloon is made of animal leather. Although tough leather such as shark skin is not available, leather such as cowhide coated It's lacquered, and the texture is hard enough. This lacquer... is almost equivalent to sealing the outer layer of leather again.

Liu Ye and Huang Chengyan tried it, but ordinary bows and arrows really couldn't penetrate it.

Speaking of which, after completing the task of flying crossbows worth tens of thousands at Mianshui Villa, Guan Lin sent the drawings of this hot air balloon after a few days' rest.

To be precise, it is divided into three.

First there is the Kongming Lantern;

Then there are small spheres the size of a human being;

Finally, there’s the big guy—the hot air balloon.

It was nothing more than a Kongming Lantern. Although Liu Ye and Huang Chengyan found it magical, they were far from surprised.

But when the Kongming Lantern is scaled up to a small sphere the size of an adult, this small sphere can still fly and can carry small animals into the sky.

That's a whole new story!

Liu Ye and Huang Chengyan's eyes widened. They are both great inventors of this era, so they naturally know what this means.

So...there was this hot air balloon.

It is no exaggeration to say that during this period, Liu Ye and Huang Chengyan were focused on the hot air balloon. They even dreamed of flying into the sky.

And the moment they really flew over Jiangling City, they felt that the whole world had been turned upside down.

It's like a person's vision suddenly develops from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional one...

This gave Huang Chengyan and Liu Ye countless daydreams.

At this moment, they already have a certain understanding of the hot air balloon and are nervously instructing the craftsmen to operate it step by step.

Huang Yueying heard Xia Houjuan mention that her father was here, and followed Xia Houjuan and Zhang Xingcai to Xianshan.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw that the huge ball was slowly swelling, and then rising upwards... If it weren't for a few hemp ropes tied to the towering trees, I was afraid that the ball would have already risen into the sky.

Under the hot air balloon is a fire oil jar, which contains a large amount of fish oil...

Below is a huge rattan basket that can accommodate five or six people.

The can of kerosene was burning brightly and steaming continuously. He watched the shriveled ball sac becoming more and more bulging and beginning to take flight.

Craftsmen have begun to put sandbags into the rattan baskets. In addition to the sandbags, they also include water, dried meat and other food.

After...all the things were stuffed into the rattan basket, Liu Ye, a young man, quickly turned over and got into the rattan basket, and began to reach out and pull Huang Chengyan in.

After all, Huang Chengyan is getting older, and he is still studying the Mohist mechanism skills. His legs and feet are not as good as before, and he still needs workers to support him below before he can jump into this rattan basket.

The rattan basket kept rising upwards, but was caught by the hemp rope, and the whole hemp rope was strangled straight...

Huang Yueying was shocked to realize that something was wrong. You know, there are also objects that can fly like thumb-sized machine birds in her works.

But the weight of the machine bird seems to be incomparable to this hot air balloon.

Gudong... With a sound, Huang Yueying ran over quickly as someone was about to untie the hemp rope and release the iron claws.

Dad, what are you doing?

Huang Yueying was extremely worried, with tears shining in her eyes.

Only then did Huang Chengyan notice Huang Yueying and said with a smile.

Your father, I want to go to heaven...

At this time, Zhuge Ke also turned over and entered. He said to Huang Yueying: Don't worry, mother, it was invented by Mr. Yunqi and produced by Mianshui Villa. It's unmistakable... I will go to heaven with Ah Weng!

God?

Huang Yueying felt that she had fainted and was in a trance...

She didn't care that the mountain wind blew up the black veil on her face, and she felt very complicated in her heart.

One is her father and the other is her son. If something happens to them, then...

Huang Yueying gritted her teeth and ran quickly to the front. Before the rope was disconnected, she turned over and jumped in.

You're crazy...

Huang Chengyan was shocked when he saw his daughter being so indifferent...

Huang Yueying asked back: You are crazy. God...what? You still want to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun?

After being scolded by his daughter, Huang Chengyan stroked his beard and did not get angry. He just said lightly, God, what's wrong with being shoulder to shoulder with the sun?

Huang Chengyan rarely showed a strong look.

It's all because my daughter is in front of me, so I'm pretending...

Zhuge Ke added at the right moment, Ah, it's already dusk, it's dark...

Huang Chengyan smiled as if he was flying away: That's okay, just take my daughter and my grandson to the sky to pick the stars...

Seeing that Huang Chengyan was getting more and more outrageous, Liu Ye explained: I never thought that Miss Huang would come up too, so... let's make peace with it now that we're here! However, don't listen to your father when it comes to reaching for the stars. We are here for Scouting Cao's army on the north bank, it takes off at night...it's easier to be stealthy! It's not to catch the stars.

In fact, high in the sky, the army below is just a point.

Similarly, the army below looks into the sky, and the hot air balloon is also a dot in the sky.

Although it will be discovered during the day, but...because it is elevated, who will care about an inexplicable point?

Following Liu Ye's words, the rope was broken, and the entire hot air balloon began to fly away, rising slowly.

Witness this hot air balloon rising as if it were letting itself go.

Xia Houjuan and Zhang Xingcai on the platform were almost stunned...

Zhang Xingcai couldn't help but say Wow, I'm flying into the sky, while Xia Houjuan murmured in thought.

——Is this... also invented by my would-be son-in-law? 』

In fact, for such a big event tonight, Guan Lin should have been here in Xian Mountain.

But unfortunately, in the plan... Mr. Huang's raid on the north bank will be tomorrow.

Tonight, Guan Lin, together with Lu Xun and Fu Shiren, wanted to select the cavalry for tomorrow's raid, so he did not appear here.

But...even in Xiangyang City, Guan Lin is paying close attention to the sky.

When I saw a big ball slowly rising, rising to the top of my head, and then blending into the darkness in the sky.

Guan Lin let out a long breath, couldn't help but stop, and sighed in his heart:

——Old Huang, Mr. Liu...

——Old General Huang's eyesight tomorrow will depend on you two tonight. You must work harder! 』

In fact, Guan Lin's back was also sweating, especially when he saw the hot air balloon slowly rising. He was already sweating profusely.

After all, Mianshui Villa had only been studying the hot air balloon for more than a month, and Guan Lin was afraid that it wouldn't be able to fly.

But now it seems that Guan Lin can put his heart in his stomach. After all, he can always trust this old man Huang.

If you add Liu Ye, it will be even more powerful.

As for... hot air balloons.

If this thing flies up, it won't come back down until the fuel burns out!

…

…

In the official office of Hefei City.

Gu Yong was reporting: My lord, General Xu Sheng and General Jiang Qin have been ambushing here at the foot of Bagong Mountain, just waiting for the Wei army to arrive tomorrow...

Sun Quan closed his eyes and sat on the futon to meditate.

He asked: What did Detective Mark find? Is there any action in Shouchun City?

No! Gu Yong answered firmly, Cao Zhen led a small army, and Zhuo Rong, the witch, was among them. The entire move to Bagong Mountain was very covert, without any reinforcements.

That's good. Sun Quan's eyes opened slightly, and his eyes were extremely solemn and sharp.

When the topic of Zhuo Rong was mentioned, Sun Quan added a question: Then Ling Tong should be killed?

Kill...I'll kill him, but... Gu Yong stopped talking.

how?

Following Sun Quan's question, Gu Yong quickly asked Gan Ning how to rush to the execution ground? How to plan to rob a prisoner? What did you say?

And, how Zhou Xun refused to give in, how he stopped Gan Ning, and even said the words - My father did not dare to draw his sword against General Gan, but I was obeying the order of Wu Hou, and what I was stopping was the prisoner. The evil thief! 』

as well as…

Sun Quan was quite shocked when he heard this, and simply repeated: 'If I get out of the way today, Soochow and my lord will lose another brave general.' Haha, I didn't expect Zhou Xun to say that! This guy is a bit interesting. !”

Sun Quan was shocked that Zhou Xunhui said such words...

Especially the sentence I am guarding the orders of the Marquis of Wu, and I am blocking the thieves who robbed the prisoners. These words were so domineering that Sun Quan felt relieved when he heard them. He even thought of Zhou Gongjin in the past, and also thought of...

——Gong Jin, you just took Gu's 30,000 troops and refused to return them. Gu won't mind, but you insist on marching westward to Bashu and become the emperor of the Xichuan land. How can Gu tolerate you? ? 』

Inexplicably, Sun Quan thought of the previous...

Reminiscent of the story between him and Zhou Yu.

Soon, he came back to his senses. That was the past, and everything had to be moved forward.

However, this feeling of being loyal to someone else's son despite harming someone else's father made Sun Quan feel refreshing.

Gu Yong also sighed with emotion: Indeed, I didn't expect that... Zhou Xun would be so loyal to the lord at such a young age.

Sun Quan nodded, and while stroking his purple beard, he pondered: Zhou Xun, he is just a cavalry captain, right?

Yes... my lord used to praise him for his Zhou Lang style, but... Gu Yong said something sensitive, and his next words stopped abruptly: Although he was a Cavalry Commander, Zhou Lang left behind 10,000 pieces. Now we all obey the orders of this little Cavalry Captain.

Sun Quan thought for a while and said with emotion: Nowadays, there are many veteran generals who are proud of their merits around me, but there are not many young generals who are talented and have heavy troops. I passed the order to him and made him a partial general and the prefect of Luling County...

Luling County?

Prefect?

Gu Yong thought for a while and then said: Luling borders Jiaozhou and Jingnan, it is a very important place!

The implication behind his words.

If the situation changes in the future, whether it is going south to attack Jiaozhou! Whether it is to attack Changsha westward, or even to go up the river to take Jiangling, the Luling Army is the most important place to store military supplies, baggage, and ships... it has a huge stake!

Yes! How could Sun Quan not know this, but he still showed his joy for Zhou Xun, There are not many people who can trust Gu, so I will give the order as Gu told me. In addition, I ordered Lu Meng to come to Shouchun City. , Ling Tong’s investigation into this matter was brilliant, let’s just say he deserves to be punished and has made meritorious service!”

As soon as he said this, Gu Yong cupped his hands and said, Here...

Gu Yong could feel that his lord liked Lu Meng more.

Even as the patriarch of the Gu family, the head of the four major families in Wu County, Gu Yong felt it even more deeply.

He could feel that the personalities of the lords Sun Quan and Lu Meng had great similarities!

…

…

The hot air balloon has taken off and is hovering over Xiangyang City.

Huang Yueying only felt that the world was spinning. It was night in mid-air, and the wind was blowing so hard that her eardrums hurt a little. The not-so-beautiful birthmark on her face also hurt like a needle.

It took Huang Yueying a full quarter of an hour to adapt to the wind.

When she stood up and looked out through the rattan basket, she saw that the Xian Mountain that had taken off had turned into a square. He saw that Xiangyang City was very small... a rectangle.

As for the people in the city, they couldn't see clearly at all.

Unless it's a military camp outside the city, because of the bonfire, the location, number of people, and size can be roughly determined.

As the hot air balloon rose higher and higher, everything behind it, including Xian Mountain, the city, and the Han River, became smaller and smaller. Huang Yueying also felt colder and colder, and couldn't help but shudder.

It was this chill that brought her back to her senses. She looked at Huang Chengyan in fear, Dad? I...I...am I in the sky?

Huang Chengyan looked at his daughter with concern.

Speaking of which, Huang Yueying has always been a bold girl since she was a child. She has never been so nervous, let alone afraid of anything.

Of course, Huang Chengyan can also understand.

He has witnessed too many miracles brought by Yun Qi, but for his daughter, this is the first time to experience it in person, right?

Perhaps, this is... when a person faces a new and unknown field, he can't help but be so nervous that he trembles all over, and even feels afraid, right?

Yueying, you and dad are in the sky... But don't be afraid. We will cross the Han River and reach the north bank. The enemy will not be able to find us!

Although Huang Chengyan has not flown into the sky many times, it is obvious that he is very accustomed to this feeling in the sky.

Except...cold!

It's really cold in the sky.

He did not forget to remind Liu Ye, Next time, you need to remind me to bring some bedding...\

,"Liu Ye said with a smile while operating the hot air balloon: What Mr. Huang said is that the last time we flew at noon, it was not so cold...be sure to pay attention next time.

Zhuge Ke, on the other hand, was always holding the rattan basket and looking down at the ground. Even though it was dark, the feeling of being in the clouds made his eyes widen. In addition to being incredible, he was also horrified by Young Master Yunqi... This Incredible creations and inventions.

This is the countless time he has lamented...

——In this life, the most correct move I made was...

——It is to step out of the prison of Soochow and have a glimpse of the vastness under the sky, the vastness of nature! 』

Because it was too cold, a few people didn't talk much, and everyone had different thoughts.

Finally, after adjusting the oil tank, the hot air balloon quickly crossed the Han River and arrived at the north shore.

Liu Ye skillfully closed the valve of the kerosene tank, and the hot air balloon descended a little, enough to see the bonfire on the ground clearly.

Until then, Liu Ye was surprised and said: No, the defenses along the Han River to the west of Fancheng are so tight, but why are the defenses along the Han River to the east so loose?

From the bonfires on the camp where Cao Jun was stationed at night, we can roughly determine where Cao Jun camped.

The number of bonfires and the width of the camp can tell how many soldiers and horses are stationed here!

This information, which cannot be obtained on the ground, can be easily seen from high in the air.

Zhuge Ke didn't care to talk. He quickly took out a pen and paper, looked at the bonfire and tent below, and then hid in the vine basket and drew a few strokes. It was as if he came with a mission. He wanted to draw the entire Cao Jun army. Defense map of the North Shore!

Huang Chengyan also saw some clues.

The location of the bonfires over there doesn't seem to be in Yancheng...

Huang Yueying also looked in the direction Huang Chengyan pointed, It is indeed not Yancheng. I often ran there when I was a child. It is very familiar... I can recognize it even in the air... It is still some distance away from Yancheng.

That's...the place where so many Cao troops are stationed, it will be... Huang Chengyan couldn't help but wonder. He and Huang Yueying had lived here for decades, and they were too familiar with the environment here...

I know. Huang Chengyan suddenly thought of something, Those clusters of bonfires and joint camps are the original camps of the Guan Army. In other words, a large number of Cao's troops are ambushing here!

Everyone is watching...

Liu Ye suddenly raised a new question: When I came here just now, I found that although the surrounding area of ​​Xinye City was surrounded by sieges, there were not many bonfires and there were very few tents. The same is true for Yancheng... This kind of defense is also very difficult. strangeness!

It's not surprising at all. Huang Yueying was shocked to notice something from the clues. She opened her eyes wide and explained: If we couldn't fly in the sky, how would we know... The main ambush location of Cao's army is the joint camp of Guan Jiajun Baili, and Not... not Xinye City and Yancheng! At this time, the reality is virtual and the reality is real, the reality is virtual and virtual... the enemy is using the method of virtual reality to confuse us!

this…

Following Huang Yueying's words, Zhuge Ke exclaimed: What mother means is...

Huang Yueying pursed her lips, but there seemed to be light in her eyes: Ke'er wants to record the locations of these bonfires in detail. This may...maybe it is the way that Tomorrow Yunqi...can reverse the situation and save people——

…

…

There was no one on the bank of the river in the middle of the night. Ling Tong found a farmhouse to rest on the bank of the river in Huainan and would continue on his way tomorrow morning.

He didn't dare to take off his bamboo hat, turned his back to the store, and shouted.

The waiter serves wine...

At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind, the tone was rapid and heavy.

Ling Tong suddenly felt something strange. He quickly pulled out his short sword and swung it behind him. The man who came was also agile and directly raised his halberds to block.

Ling Tong reacted faster. The blade of his left hand was blocked, so he pulled out the dagger with his right hand and swung it out.

But the newcomer's martial arts skills were even more extraordinary. He actually threw away his halberds, pulled out a short sword from his waist, and once again blocked Ling Tong's attack.

I even found another meteor hammer out of nowhere...

There is an iron chain wrapped around his waist, as if the iron chain is also his weapon.

only…

After two rounds of confrontation, Ling Tong had turned from the back to the front.

When he saw the visitor's face clearly, he exclaimed.

why you?

I guess you're not dead - the person's voice was deep and thick.

This person is a well-known general in Soochow...

Immediately used broadswords and spears;

Short halberds, daggers, bows and arrows were used in water battles;

He also used meteor hammers in infantry sieges... he could be called the weapons master of Soochow.

…
