When mentioning the Kongming Lantern, Chengye subconsciously remembered the beautiful scenery he saw last night...
It's just that Chengye's heart is still full of doubts. Although it's really beautiful to fly all those holey lanterns together, isn't mother coming here to save the emperor? Why do you suddenly want to put up Kongming lanterns
Chengye raised his head several times and looked at Yunshang several times, but he also knew in his heart that the person who most wanted to save his father must be his mother, and she must have a reason for doing so, so he lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
Seven days passed in a flash.
"In the first few days after the master left, there were some strangers in Changyuan Town who came to inquire about the master's news. They asked very detailed questions about what the master ate, did, where he stayed, and everything he said. I went to inquire, and even the people who have been in contact with the master have been carefully checked next to each other to see if they are from Changyuan Town, and if not, when did they come to Changyuan Town."
Yun Shang nodded: "As expected, the old lady's identity is unusual. I have been in contact with them, so they naturally have to pay close attention."
"After checking everything that should be investigated, those talents have all withdrawn from Changyuan Town in the past two days, and now all those people have left."
"In addition, the letter sent by the master to the post envoy was also intercepted, and everything was as the master expected."
Yun Chang laughed: "Stop it, just stop it. It was originally a letter used to confuse those people. The letter was written to the shopkeeper Chen in Yinzhou City. They are all ordinary words."
The dark guard nodded: "This subordinate also thought so, so he didn't go after it."
Yun Chang nodded, and glanced at the boat not far from where they were: "Kongming Lantern, have they already made it?"
"It's almost there." The dark guard bowed his head and replied, "It's just that the craftsman said that it's going to carry people, so it's better to try it out, for fear of accidents."
Yun Chang shook her head: "There are eyes of Wu people everywhere around here. Kongming lanterns are going to fly into the sky. Once they are exposed, our only chance will be lost."
"And as long as you follow the drawings completely, you won't make any mistakes. The Kongming Lantern that I made with Youyue Kingdom earlier was also because I made people do some tricks, so that kind of thing happened."
"And when the time comes, choose someone with better lightness skills to go up, even if something goes wrong with the Kongming lantern, it won't be a big problem."
Yun Shang hooked the corners of her mouth: "Speaking of which, although the envoys of Youyue Kingdom made me a little displeased at that time, they still brought us some help after all. First, let us know that in that sea On the other side, there are many countries that may be more prosperous than ours, so we have a precautionary heart against them. The second is to bring the blueprint of the Kongming Lantern that can carry people. If it is not for this, I am afraid I can only Scratching your head and thinking about it here."
"Tonight is the Ghost Festival. This operation is only allowed to succeed, not to fail."
"Yes." The dark guard bowed his head in response, waiting for Yun Shang's next instruction.
"By the way, I asked you to keep staring at the yard, but what did you find?"
The dark guard shook his head: "What we have been staring at is only the old couple who live in a shallow place and rarely go out. In the past few days, they only occasionally leave the yard, but they are just getting some firewood around the yard. Picking vegetables in the field or something."
Yun Chang nodded, but laughed again: "In this way, my Yun Qi is actually pretty good. The old couple rarely go out, but they let me meet Cheng Ye, and it was still at night."
"Maybe this is called, there is God's will in the dark."
The dark guard just lowered his eyes and didn't make a sound. Yun Chang raised his hand to make him retreat. The dark guard saluted and jumped, but he jumped directly onto the boat not far away.
As soon as the hidden guards retreated, Chengye came out of the cabin: "Mother made someone to make a Kongming lantern that can carry people? Just like the ones that Dad and Mother sat in the palace before?"
Yun Shang didn't hide it either: "Yes, it's the one that your father and I fell off before."
"..." Chengye stuck out his tongue: "I have heard what you said to Uncle Anwei just now. You said that the reason why you fell off the Kongming lantern that time was because you were on the Kongming lantern. It was done on purpose."
Yun Shang raised her eyebrows: "Ah, my Bao'er is really smart."
"That's natural." After Chengye finished speaking, he looked up at Yunshang again: "Mother asked someone to make such a Kongming lantern, do you want to sit on such a Kongming lantern and go to the Wu clan to save the emperor?"
"Yes." Yunshang raised her hand and rubbed Chengye's head: "The terrain of the Wu tribe is quite special. There is a miasma forest outside, and there is a swamp behind the miasma forest. In this kind of terrain, there is no way to even dig a secret tunnel. It is not easy to break into the Wu clan to save people by surprise."
Chengye blinked: "When my father went to save me, he once threatened those members of the Wu clan with poisonous smoke. Can we also release poisonous smoke?"
Yun Chang laughed: "It is possible to release poisonous smoke, but your father has already used this trick before, and they must have been prepared for it."
"And things like smoke have too many limitations." Yun Chang pursed her lips: "The wind must be in the right direction, and as long as they hide in the house and block the wind, we have nothing to do."
Speaking of the wind direction, Yunshang couldn't help raising her head to look at the bright sun in the sky: "Although Kongming Lanterns are also affected by the wind direction, the Kongming Lanterns that can carry people made by Youyue Kingdom's blueprints can rely on artificial intelligence." It is more convenient to control the direction of the Kongming Lantern."
Chengye seemed to understand, but nodded from time to time, as if he had understood.
Yun Shang looked at him like this, her heart became softer, and the smile in her eyes became stronger.
After a while, Chengye raised his head again: "Then... tonight, will mother take me with you?"
Before Yunshang could speak, Chengye hurriedly said: "Mother, I also want to sit on the Kongming Lantern. And, I also want to go with my mother to save my father."
Go with Chengye
Yunshang naturally hopes to keep Chengye with her all the time, but it is indeed dangerous to go to the Wu Clan this time. Those of the Wu Clan are cruel and ruthless. If it is an ordinary place, it will be fine. , It is indeed an existence that she doesn't understand very well, and is not able to deal with it.
She is also afraid of...
Before Yunshang could speak, Chengye lowered his head again and said, "Forget it, I don't know martial arts, it must be inconvenient for my mother to take me with me, if it is because of me that I can't rescue the emperor, then Oh no."
Chengye had a cute face: "Mother, don't worry, you can leave a few hidden guards here to guard me, and I will wait on this boat, waiting for Mother to pick up Daddy."
