Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

The hot air balloon rose slowly, and the people of Hanzhong City knelt and kowtowed in worship.

They saw the aircraft for the first time, and saw Su Yu and Li Shimin's group go up with their own eyes.

Then they flew into the sky, the first time they saw that people could really go to the sky.

"It really is a fairy."

"The gods bless me to give birth to a grandson."

"Bless me to marry a good man."

"Pray to the gods to bless my son to be successful."

The people bowed down one after another.

Sun Heng, the prefect of Hanzhong, knelt down and sent Li Shimin and Su Yu away respectfully.

Li Shimin stood on the edge, looked down at the officials at his feet, and suddenly felt better.

"It's different to watch others kneel and worship in the sky."

Li Shimin laughed.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin stood together, lying on the side and said: "Yes, they are sincerely bowing down, not like in the court hall."

Li Ke was taken aback when he heard this, and thought to himself: Cheng Yaojin is indeed a reckless man, he can't speak out of his head.

Li Shimin's expression changed, he turned his head to look at Cheng Yaojin, and asked, "Oh, when you bowed down in the court hall, you were unwilling to do so, didn't you?"

Cheng Yaojin knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, I mean. What's the matter?"

Cheng Yaojin didn't know how to explain it.

Old Chen said: "Your Majesty, you two should not stand together, the baskets are all skewed."

Cheng Yaojin was too fat, and standing in the same place as Li Shimin, the weight was too concentrated, causing the basket to tilt.

Cheng Yaojin took the opportunity to go back to his room and lie down.

Fortunately, I grew fat and had an excuse to sneak out, otherwise I couldn't explain what I said just now.

Sure enough, too much talk is bound to be lost, and it is better to be a man with less talk.

The hot air balloon flew out of Hanzhong City slowly, and the people looked up and chased the hot air balloon for more than ten miles.

The people didn't go back until there was only one small spot left.

When Sun Heng returned to the open space outside the city, the carriage and driver were still there.

These coachmen are from Sujiazhuang, and they have long been used to seeing hot air balloons.

"Everyone, please stay in the prefect's mansion, and when the son-in-law returns, we will return to Chang'an City together."

Sun Heng paid homage.

Although these coachmen have no fame, they are from Sujiazhuang.

There are seven-rank officials in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there are more than seven-rank officials from Sujiazhuang.

They followed Sun Heng back to the prefect's mansion to stay.

On the hot air balloon, Li Ke rode for the first time.

It turns out that Sujiazhuang also has paid hot air balloons, but Li Ke was the governor of Anzhou at the time and had never been in it.

Flying in the sky this time, Li Ke felt like he was stepping on cotton.

"Father, I feel like I'm floating in this hot air balloon."

Li Ke said.

Li Shimin laughed and said, "I also felt this way when I sat for the first time, just get used to it."

With that said, Li Shimin went back to the room and lay down.

Li Ke was too excited to sleep, and kept looking at the mountains, rivers, villages and towns below from the sky.

Seeing that Li Ke was too excited, Old Chen said, "His Royal Highness, I have something for you."

He took out a telescope from his arms and gave it to Li Ke.

"Yeah, just need a telescope."

Li Ke used a telescope.

Taking the binoculars, Li Ke could see with great interest.

The hot air balloon is flying slowly in the sky.

Although it is already summer temperature on the ground, it is very cool in the sky.

The sun gradually went down, and the clouds in the sky were covered with a layer of gold.

The hot air balloon has already reached above the clouds, as if it has entered the palace of heaven.

The golden clouds below are like the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

Li Ke looked at it and couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that the sky is like this.

Li Shimin woke up, came out of the room, and saw the scenery of the sea of ​​clouds, and he was also very impressed.

"I didn't expect such a view here."

Li Shimin exclaimed.

Su Yu heard it in the room and said, "The land of Bashu is full of water vapor, so there are naturally many clouds."

Cheng Yaojin also came out and looked at the clouds full of praise.

"Boy, it's worth going out with you this trip, it's so beautiful."

Su Yu stretched and came out of the room.

Chen Yuan replaced Lao Chen and controlled the direction of the hot air balloon for him.

"I thought you would sleep all the way to Yizhou."

Li Shimin said.

Su Yu moved his hands and feet, and said, "A combination of movement and stillness, I am a salted fish, not a dead fish."

The clouds are gradually thinning, and the road to Shu can be seen.

There are high mountains and deep valleys everywhere, and there is no human habitation.

Dark green forests cover the land, and silver-black rivers run through it.

"The Land of Abundance in the land of Bashu, if you guard the pass, it will really be that one man is in charge of the pass."

Li Shimin exclaimed.

Looking at the terrain from the sky, you can have a panoramic view of the dangers of Bashu.

Su Yu was too lazy to read these, he read them from geography books.

Sitting on the stool, Su Yu took out something and took it apart, then picked up the kettle and poured boiling water into it.

Li Shimin took Li Ke's binoculars and carefully looked at the rugged official road.

"The road I built seems insignificant."

Li Shimin said.

Li Ke, who was the governor of Yizhou, said: "There are often heavy rains in the middle of Sichuan, and the plank roads are often destroyed. Even if the roads are built, they will not last long."

"Mountain road landslides happen from time to time, and roads have to be repaired every year, wasting manpower and material resources."

Li Shimin nodded and said: "You are the governor, you know what's going on."

"The reason why the land of Bashu is difficult to capture is because of this."

"The same is true of the place where the Six Edicts are located."

"In terms of military strength, Liuzhao is far inferior to Turks, and even inferior to Gaochang and Tuyuhun."

"However, Gaochang and Tuyuhun are easy to destroy, but the Six Edicts are difficult to defeat."

"If the road is repaired, the Six Edicts will be destroyed in the near future."

Liuzhao is located in a place of [-] mountains, and the large army cannot fight in battle. Scattered operations are not as familiar with the terrain as the locals of Liuzhao.

Coupled with the poisonous insects and miasma, it is simply incomprehensible.

This time Su Yu personally sits in Yizhou, Li Shimin is looking forward to what Su Yu will do.

Anyway, Li Shimin himself has nothing to do.

The father and son were talking when suddenly a tangy fragrance wafted over.

"It smells so good, what is it?"

Li Shimin exclaimed.

Li Ke also smelled it, and when the fragrance entered his nose, his stomach growled.

They turn around to find Su-yu eating noodles.

"Hey, you kid, the elders haven't eaten yet, yet you steal it."

Li Shimin hurriedly sat beside Su Yu, his nose twitching non-stop, and the saliva in his throat kept swallowing.

Su Yu sighed, and sucked the noodles into his mouth, holding a deep bowl in his hand.

That's right, Su Yu is eating instant noodles.

When leaving, Su Yu found a bunch of instant noodles in the system.

That's why he asked the prefect Sun Heng to boil water to take him with him before he got on the hot air balloon.

Cheng Yaojin also smelled it, and sat on the other side of Su Yu, watching Su Yu finish eating the instant noodles.

"My son-in-law, what are you eating?"

"It smells so good, give me a bite for old Cheng."

Cheng Yaojin really wanted to eat.

Su Yu ignored the eager eyes of Cheng Yaojin and Li Shimin, and ate all the instant noodles.

Traveling to Datang, I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time.

After eating the noodles, there is still soup left.

Cheng Yao said eagerly, "My son-in-law, I don't mind, old Cheng, just give me a sip of the soup."

Li Shimin actually wanted it too, but it felt too embarrassing.

Su Yu breathed lightly, and drank the soup together in front of Cheng Yaojin.

Putting down the bucket of instant noodles, Su Yu sighed, "I haven't eaten it for a long time, but it still tastes the same."
