"Stop!" Li Zicheng walked out of the tent, with Liu Zongmin and several other subordinates around him.

The swordsman's big sword fell down and stopped less than one centimeter from Li Yan's neck. Li Yan lowered his head, still neither humble nor arrogant. He could not see fear or surprise, and his expression was dull.

Li Zicheng's arrival temporarily stopped the execution. The soldiers under his command let him go, and Li Yan had to get up.

"Mr. Li, it seems that Luoshan County is not your own fault, I believe in you."

Li Yan was shocked: "King of Chuang, do you really believe me?"

Li Zicheng nodded: "I believe in you, this is not the best opportunity to attack Luoshan County. If the officers and soldiers have such a Tiger Army, we will only fail if we go there. General Liu, you said yes, not."

Liu Zongmin behind him was like a loud bell: "That's right, the Hu Ben Army is extremely powerful, we have experienced it. Li Yan, I don't like you. Just talk about the matter. It's up to you to be alone in Luoshan County that can't be captured."

Li Yan bowed with some emotion: "Thank you, General Liu, for distinguishing right from wrong."

Liu Zongmin hummed, not feeling relieved for Li Yan's gratitude.

Li Zicheng, who was standing beside him, said coldly: "I can leave you with a five-day appointment, but I can't give you this Hongniangzi. Luoshan County cannot be captured in one day, and I will never let Hongniangzi go."

Li Yan was silent. He knew that Madam Hong would never escape death. At the moment, he stopped talking. He had just walked away from the gate of hell, and then he took a look and then bet right.

Now Li Zicheng and Li Yan are already in harmony, and both sides are just using each other. Li Zicheng learned from Qin Langzhong that Li Yan was a fraudulent surrender, so he did not kill Li Yan. Instead, he was waiting for Li Yan to save Hong Niang and beat them all in one fell swoop.

Anyway, Li Zicheng had already mastered Li Yan's conspiracy. He pretended to die and asked Doctor Qin to take the death medicine to Hong Niangzi, and then transported the body out of the tent for Hong Niangzi's subordinates to take him back. As long as he set up an ambush and took the Hong Niangzi's subordinates in one fell swoop, Luoshan County would be defeated without any attack.

Next, it depends on when Li Yan will take action. Li Zicheng can afford to wait, and he knows it won’t be too long. The longer it delays, the more unfavorable it will be for Li Yan.

On the surface, Li Zicheng still trusted Li Yan very much. Even Liu Zongmin and others no longer made trouble for Li Yan. On the surface, Li Yan seemed loyal to Li Zicheng and even gave him many useful suggestions in the army, such as not being able to kill indiscriminately.

In fact, both of them know clearly. The other party has a strange intention towards them. This mutual use relationship makes the two seem very harmonious on the surface.

What made Li Yan happy was that Li Zicheng finally fell into a trap. He successfully held Li Zicheng back, hoping that the Crown Prince would be trusted. Next, it depends on Zhu Cixuan.

Gunpowder is not difficult, after all, the gunpowder technology of the Ming Dynasty has made great progress. Zhu Cilang made a little improvement and improved the ratio, and its power increased dramatically. The local explosives were made, and the effect made Zhu Cilang very satisfied.

It is difficult to deal with hot air balloons. All the wines were collected in Luoshan counties. The two salted wine shops were refined day and night, but they only extracted more than a dozen jars of alcohol. The concentration of alcohol was still unsatisfactory, but the fuel used to make hot air balloons was enough.

Cooked cowhide is still more difficult than Zhu Cilang expected. Although the skeleton made with bamboo slices is very light, the weight is still beyond Zhu Cilang's imagination after covering the cowhide. Fortunately, alcohol fuel is used. If it is ordinary firewood, the hot air balloon will not fly high.

This is a dangerous experiment. Although the hot air balloon was made, Zhu Cilang didn't want to experiment himself. He cherished his life. But if he let his men ride, these people may not know how to operate.

This requires a professor. The hot air balloon is placed in the yard of the county government backyard. The four corners of the rope are tied to the four trees in the yard. The hot air balloon is sandbag, fuel, and even a manual shaker. When the air is in the air, turn the direction and move it slowly.

Everyone was shocked. No one had seen such a round guy. What kind of object is this? Everyone was rumored that it was the large Kongming lantern of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

No one believed that it could fly, and no one believed that this thing could be launched. Apart from the secret guards brought by Zhu Cixuan, and Zhan Yunpeng and others of the Tiger Army.

Zhu Cilang refused to ride it, and there was no problem with this thing in theory. But he didn't want to bet on his life. What if something happened after he took off?

Ling Susu was the first to sign up, and Zhao Yun and Zhan Yunpeng were willing to accompany him. At most, three people, plus rescue Hongniang and Li Yan, the hot air balloon could not hold more people.

Zhu Cilang really put a lot of thought into how to achieve rapid rise and fall. The chef of the county government gave him inspiration.

The bellows are originally used to burn firewood and cook. This thing can be used to fuel by manpower, and alcohol fuel is placed in an iron bucket. A cow intestine is used as a hose, and one is the barrel of a flintlock rifle as a spray head.

When used, pulling the bellows can quickly increase the fuel fire of the nozzle. In this way, the hot air balloon will fly higher.

Zhu Cixuan repeatedly explained to them the purpose of each part. Also, the principle of the rising of the hot air balloon. Even if he explained it in detail, it was difficult for Zhao Yun and Zhan Yunpeng to understand many places, and as for Ling Susu, he looked even more confused.

"Okay, okay, please ask. I will teach you what else I don't know." Faced with these elm-headed heads, Zhu Cilang almost gave up.

It’s not that these three people are stupid, but because of the gap in knowledge.

"Your Highness, what you mean is that by letting go of the oil pipe valve and pulling the bellows can rise quickly. When it falls, reduce the fire and use the size of the fire to control it, right? There is still something unknown at the end. What is the oil pipe you are talking about?" Zhan Yunpeng asked.

Zhu Cilang slapped his forehead and pointed at the large intestine of the bull: "This cow intestine is an oil pipe. Don't ask me why it is called an oil pipe. As long as you know how to use it, you can use it."

Zhao Yun next to him wanted to ask, and when His Royal Highness said this, he swallowed it back.

After a whole afternoon of training, Zhu Cilang was very detailed, and these three people finally understood 80% or 90%. This is enough. As long as they learn how to operate, there should be no big problem.

Zhao Yun calculated that tomorrow would be a good weather and a flight. So tomorrow would be the first flight of the three. Zhu Cilang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Success or failure depends on tomorrow.

Wangcai wanted to go very much, mainly because he was curious. He whispered in Zhu Cixuan's ear: "Your Highness, do you think if you fly to the sky, will you see the gods in the sky?"

"I can see you," said Zhu Cixuan.
