Chapter 499 Going home with the wind?(1/2)
Li Mu "argued" but had to agree reluctantly. He accompanied Bai Qiaoqiao for a while before coming out of the house. There were endless people congratulating him, and some of them had high status, so he also needed to answer correctly.
Time passed by, and at dusk, the guests had almost gone. Today is the Lantern Festival, and there were many activities at night. Guessing riddles in the streets and alleys, Emperor Chengtianmen and the people were having fun, and Pingkangfang chose courtesans. There was no curfew, so they could go all night long, and no one wanted to miss this excitement.
The courtyard became quiet, and Li Mu's students consciously helped to clean up. Sun and Tang Jian also rushed back, and they had to leave. Today, on the Lantern Festival, Li Shimin also received entertainment. Tang Jian was one of the six ministers of the ministers, so he was naturally invited. Empress Changsun of the harem also invited the first-class wife of the imperial decree, and Sun was also invited. These were all matters and could not be shirked, so she had to live today and come back tomorrow.
Until this moment, Li Mu didn't go to meet Li Zhien. Li Zhien hid in his room, lay next to the window and looked outside for many times. He felt more and more uncomfortable and more disappointed.
She couldn't help but wonder, were the sweet words that Li Mu had said were all lies? Didn't he say that he would be a wife if he didn't act like a concubine? Why did the wife put her aside when she was pregnant?
"Isn't it just a child? I can give birth to it too?" Li Zhien murmured, looking at the wedding dress on the bed, his nose felt sore, and he almost burst into tears.
She didn't leave the house for a day, didn't eat lunch or dinner. But until now, no one has asked her if she is hungry. Everyone called her window and walked past Bai Qiaoqiao's room, as if she didn't exist.
Today is obviously her big day, but everyone ignores her!
While Li Zhien told herself desperately that Bai Qiaoqiao was pregnant, she should be more sensible. However, the complaints in her heart could not be suppressed and kept popping up. She was now like a two-dimensional figure who was desperately resisting and did not want to turn herself into black, but the majesty of the God of Destiny could not resist. The negative energy in her heart gradually accumulated, and her eyes became resentful.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Lee Ji-eun sniffed, wiped the tears dry, and said angrily: "Who? I'm asleep!"
"It's me." Bai Qiaoqiao's voice came from outside the door. Li Zhien quickly got off the bed and came to the door to open the door. Seeing that it was Bai Qiaoqiao and Wang Ou, he immediately blushed and said, "Madam, why don't you rest well, I..."
She blushed because she felt that she was not generous enough. Since Liu Shenwei took Bai Qiaoqiao's pulse and confirmed that she was pregnant, Li Zhien quietly hid out and never showed up. She seemed a little stingy.
"Madam" Lee Ji-en wanted to explain, but didn't know what to say, and her face turned purple.
Bai Qiaoqiao took her hand and smiled and said, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
"No," Li Zhien said, but his tone was not that true. He was still young. Even if he was smart, he could not bear it even if he understood it in his heart.
Wang Ou took the words as if to resolve the embarrassment and said, "Let's not mention these, today is the day of the Lantern Festival and the day of watching lanterns. My husband just said that we didn't have time to go to the city to see the lanterns, he prepared it himself. Zhirong, let's go and see how well our husband's lanterns are prepared?"
"I won't go." Li Zhien was having a quarrel with Li Mu in his heart, how could he go? But he couldn't bear Wang Ou's repeated soft talk and discussed, so he had to put on his clothes and follow him out. Bai Qiaoqiao and Wang Ou winked. Wang Ou fell behind half a step and folded the wedding dress on the bed and picked it up. Li Zhien was thinking about how to act coquettishly and complained when he saw Li Mu. He didn't notice it at all.
After coming out of the courtyard, the three girls came to the door. They saw a big fire rising not far away. Li Mu was busy with something next to the fire. It was already dark and I couldn't see clearly, and it seemed as if there was something.
"Husband, Zhien is here, where is your surprise? Let me and Sister Ou also open your eyes?"
"Shocked, surprised?" Li Zhien was a little confused, looked at Bai Qiaoqiao, and then at Li Mu. Suddenly, he thought of something, and his heartbeat increased rapidly.
Li Mu held a torch in his hand and said, "I don't know if he wants to marry me?" I saw this and ignored me. It seemed that he was angry. I probably refused to marry me."
"No!" Li Zhien said anxiously: "I'm willing, I..."
Only after this sound of the words did she realize that Li Mu was teasing her, she blushed and hid in Bai Qiaoqiao's arms.
Wang Ou smiled and said, "Husband, don't let her be anxious. You didn't see it just now and they were crying."
"Yes!" Li Mu laughed, walked over with a torch, and said, "All of crying? Since I'm in such a bad mood today, I'd better talk about it tomorrow."
"No!" Li Zhien didn't care about being embarrassed, raised his head from Bai Qiaoqiao's arms, grabbed Li Mu's sleeve and refused to let go, and said, "It's time, master, you'll marry me, please."
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Li Mu couldn't bear to tease her anymore. He handed the torch to her and said, "Then let's start, take this torch and go to the rope."
Lee Ji-eun was unclear so: "What are you doing?"
"That's it."
"Oh." Li Zhien took the torch and walked over to light the rope head. With a thunder, the flames rose. It turned out that the rope head was soaked in oil and was covered with fire.
A line of fire stretched up along the rope, and the surroundings became brighter and brighter. Only then did Li Zhien realize that the shadowy thing was a shelf, with a huge piece of spliced leather covering the head of the shelf. The leather was painted black and could not be seen clearly in the dark night.
The fuse burned up and entered the large iron basin inside the shelf. I don’t know what was inside, but after a while, a bigger flame rose. I don’t know what happened, but the piece of leather floated up.
The leather was bulged into a spherical shape and left the shelf. Then I saw what was inside the shelf. It turned out to be the carriage of the carriage that Li Mu dismantled in the morning!
There were lanterns in the carriage, which looked like a lantern.
That's it?
The three women had similar expressions, and they were thinking in their hearts, is this a surprise? That was indeed quite shocking, because Li Mu had never done such a non-shock thing before, which in turn was also a surprise.
Li Mu took their expressions in his eyes, smiled slightly, and said, "Zhien, are you brave?"
"Huh?" Lee Ji-eun looked at him, stunned for a moment, and said, "Beside the master, you will be brave."
"Okay!" Li Mu took the wedding dress from Wang Ou, took Li Zhien's hand, and said, "I'll take you flying!"
"ah?"
Before Li Zhien could react to what was going on, Li Mu pulled into the car. When he came in, Li Zhien saw that the car had been transformed by Li Mu. There were several complicated mechanisms on the roof of the car, and on the top of the car was the large iron basin that had just been lit.
And on the bed in the carriage, there are several boxes of good beast charcoal.
What is this for? Li Zhien can't understand it at all.
However, Wang Ou saw a little eyebrows and his eyes widened instantly, and murmured: "Kongming Lantern?"
Bai Qiaoqiao was beside him, and when he heard this, he said strangely: "Sister Ou, what are you talking about? What is Kongming lantern?"
"Kongming Lantern is" Wang Ou was about to explain, when suddenly Bai Qiaoqiao shouted: "Oh, it's really flying! What should I do? Will my husband fall down?"
Wang Ou looked up and saw that the huge "Kongming Lantern" had already flew up. Because the leather was not transparent and was painted black, it was impossible to see clearly when it was far away. All you could see was the carriage, and the light from the lanterns inside reflected it, as if it was flying out of thin air in the sky.
Wang Ou was also worried about Li Mu's safety and shouted: "Husband! Why are you coming down?"
"ah?"
Li Mu was stunned and his face suddenly changed a little.
Oops, I just thought about how to fly, and I forgot how to go down!
Li Mu looked at Li Zhien, who was full of excitement, lifted the curtain and shouted, "Don't worry, there is a way! You guys go back to sleep first and take good care of Qiaoqiao!"
The further and further, the sound became smaller and smaller, and it was too small to hear. But Wang Ou felt relieved. In his opinion, this was Li Mu. All kinds of magical things were incredible, but he could do it.
Wang Ou helped Bai Qiaoqiao back to the yard, then explained: "This Kongming lantern is said to be during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of Shu Kingdom..."
"Zhuge Liang, I know that he is in his husband's Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Is he the same person?"
"Yeah, it's one..."
...
The moon on fifteen is so round!
Li Mu looked at the moon outside the carriage and swallowed. He didn't know if he and Li Zhien could see the sun tomorrow.
However, seeing Li Zhien's happy now, Li Mu really couldn't bear to tell her the truth.
Too stupid!
If you die like this, it will be a shame for a time traveler!
"Master, why are you unhappy?" Li Zhien couldn't help asking when he saw Li Mu's face was very bad.
"Ah?" Li Mu grabbed Li Zhien's hand and pressed it on his chest, saying, "Zhien, I love you! I'm not unhappy. Look at my heartbeat, I'm nervous. To be honest, it's the first time I'm flying. I don't have much experience and I'm a little scared!"
"It's really jumping fast." Li Zhien smiled, bit his lip, held Li Mu's hand and pressed it on his chest, and said, "Master, my heart is beating fast too."
Li Mu pinched, grinned and admired himself in his heart. In this case, he could still have evil thoughts, which was really terrifying.
Li Zhien approached Li Mu's arms, leaned on his shoulder, and said, "Master, I like the surprise you prepared for me very much. If I hadn't sat here, I wouldn't have dared to think about it in my life, and one day I could fly to the sky. Isn't this something that only gods can do?"
As she said that, she looked up at Li Mu and said, "Master, in my heart, you are a god descending to earth."
Li Mu laughed dryly and said, "Okay, it's not that powerful either."
As he was talking, suddenly the carriage paused, and Li Zhien screamed in fear. Li Mu quickly pulled off the cover, put it together and handed it to Li Zhien, and said, "If it falls down later, please hurry up and don't let go!
Li Zhien was so scared that his face turned pale. Li Mu looked up at the large iron basin on his head, and grabbed a box of charcoal in his armpits, and climbed to the top of the carriage.
He was afraid, too!
This place is not high from the ground, only about thirty meters, but there is no doubt that if you fall down, you will die!
He tried hard to maintain balance, checked every knot, and found no signs of looseness, and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the large iron basin on his head, grabbed a piece of animal charcoal, and bumped it into his hands, using the "basketball shooting" technique that he had learned in junior high school, threw out a parabola, and accurately threw the animal charcoal into the large iron basin.
With a sound of sugar bean curd, the fire became stronger. Li Mu felt a little relieved and jumped back into the carriage.
Lee Ji-eun hurried over and grabbed his arm and said, "Master, no, is it okay?"
"It's okay!"
In order to prevent Li Zhien from being afraid, he had to say that it was okay if he had something to do. Li Mu looked calm and calm and said, "A little problem is harmless. Zhien, remember, it is normal to shake a little, just don't be afraid."
"Yeah!" Li Zhien nodded and asked, "Will you still be caught in the cover?"
"Well," Li Mu thought about it, pulled the quilt into a strip of cloth, then braided it into a rope, tied him and Li Zhien together. Then he braided the rope and tied his feet and the carriage together.
Although this cannot ensure safety, it can ensure that it will live and die with this carriage, at least not fall.
As long as it doesn't fall down, the hot air balloon is still very safe. At most, it will float away and the fuel will come down. Don't worry about your life.
"Master, where are we going to fly?"
Li Mu thought to himself, how could I know that the airflow doesn't listen to me.
But when he said this, Li Zhien would definitely be afraid. Li Mu lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery outside. Suddenly he found that the air current today was quite painful. As he flew, he actually came to Chang'an City.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Look, isn't this going to the city?"
Li Zhien looked out with courage and saw Chang'an City under his feet.
