The fire suddenly rose, and because the quality of a hot air balloon was not up to standard, the brazier on the basket tilted, causing the flame to burn off several ropes, causing the hanging basket to tilt under it to seriously tilt. The person standing inside screamed and fell to the ground with a "bang".

The height was about three or four meters, and the unlucky guy who fell to the ground made blood bloom on the ground. Yuwen Gankeng couldn't help but sweat when he saw this scene: the hot air balloon was what he was about to ride with his sister just now.

It's so dangerous! Fortunately, my sister and I didn't go up!

Yuwen Gankeng thought so, but Yu Wenhua didn't think so. At this time, there were six people squeezing in the basket, which was already overweight. This would not work!

The hot air balloons he ordered to make must be limited if they want to fly high, and the number of people must not exceed five people at most, otherwise they will not be able to reach a safe height. So what is a safe height?

It's very simple. The height of the highest gate towers in Yecheng, plus the range of bows and arrows.

Yu Wenji has to escape by relying on hot air balloons, so the hot air balloons must not only be able to float out of the palace with the wind, but also out of Yecheng. If the height is too low, the defenders on the gate tower of Yecheng only need to shoot rockets to light the hot air balloons.

Even if you don’t die by then, you will break your hands and feet, and then be caught alive and cut them into pieces. This is not the result Yu Wenhua and his desire, so what should I do now?

"Yuwenwu Knight! Why did this hot air balloon rise so slowly?" Yuwen Gankeng's voice interrupted Yu Wenhuaji's thoughts, "Yuwenwu Knight, other hot air balloons have risen, why is this hot air balloon so slow?"

The shouts were heard, and many archers rushed out from the fifth floor gate and rushed towards the Yanwu Palace. At this moment, the hot air balloons that Yuwen Gankeng and others were riding were only three or four meters high. As long as the other party approached and shot the rocket, it would be all over.

Yu Wenhe quickly took off the armor, and took off the armor with two companions and Mr. Liu, and threw the armor and some miscellaneous items into the basket to reduce the weight as much as possible.

The effect is good. The rising speed of the hot air balloon is obviously faster, but it still has not exceeded the range of the bow and arrow. When the southeast wind blows, the hot air balloon slowly floats towards the northwest direction, barely skipping the top of the Yanwu Hall.

However, there was an unlucky hot air balloon that was not high enough. The basket was touched by the top of the palace, and the brazier was tilted, igniting the rope, which soon caused the basket carrying people to fall and rolled down the roof to the ground. After a few muffled sounds, there was no movement.

The hot air balloons had just passed the Yanwu Hall not far away, and the southeast wind stopped. They rushed towards the imperial guards in front of the Yanwu Hall (south) and quickly took a detour and wanted to surround the back of the hall to shoot arrows. In this way, if they wanted to avoid arrows, the hot air balloon could only try to raise as much as possible.

Other hot air balloons rose one after another, but these hot air balloons were not "overloaded". Only the hot air balloons Yuwen Gankeng rode were rising very slowly because there were six people on them.

Seeing that the situation was critical and the people in the basket had their own thoughts, Yuwen Gankeng kept urging Yu Wenhua and burning the fire more. Mr. Liu, who was covered in wounds, became excited and wanted to jump down and fight with the imperial guards to gain time for the emperor.

"You are crazy. You jumped down at such a high place, and your leg was broken even if you didn't fall!"

Of course, Yuwen Gankeng refused to agree. Mr. Liu fought for him in blood, so he was unwilling to let such a loyal and righteous man die in vain. The king and his ministers were arguing, but Yu Wenji made a decision.

First throw Mr. Liu down, wait until he floats out of the city, and then throw the emperor and the princess of Qianjin down!

He thought it through clearly that reputation or something smells bad. Saving his life is important. The hot air balloon is overweight, and at least one person must jump down. He will not jump out, nor will his two companions do. So it can only be someone else.

If you throw the emperor, the princess of Qianjin and Mr. Liu will go crazy. If you throw the daughter of Qianjin, the princess of Qianjin, the princess of Emperor Liu will go crazy, so you can only throw the daughter of Liu.

If you throw away Mr. Liu, the hot air balloon will definitely be able to rise and avoid the bow and arrow. As long as the wind blows, it will float out of the city smoothly. But if you throw away Mr. Liu, the emperor will definitely be excited, so let's coax it first, but the emperor will inevitably be dissatisfied with him and become vigilant.

So when he left the city and threw the brothers down, there were not many witnesses, and few people knew that he killed the monarch. The hot air balloons reduced the burden and could float further, so he was safer.

Just as Yu Wenhua and his companions were about to signal their actions, the daughter-in-law who had been silent suddenly spoke: "Your Majesty."

"Hmm? What's wrong with sister?"

"Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself."

"Well, don't worry, sister."

Yuwen Gankeng felt a little confused, but he still agreed. Princess Qianjin smiled and suddenly pointed to the distance and said in surprise: "Look at over there! It's so strange!"

When the others heard this, they turned to look in the direction pointed by the Qianjin Princess. Yuwen Gankeng also turned to look, but did not see anything strange. At this moment, he felt that the basket was a little turbulent, and turned around to help his sister, but saw that her sister had climbed up to the edge of the basket.

Then jumped.

"sister!!"

Yuwen Gankeng rushed over, tried his best to grab the princess Qianjin's right hand, and then dragged her body out by her weight, and baskets were poked out from above her waist.

Mr. Liu, who was next to him, tried hard to pull the emperor, so he did not let Yuwen Gankeng be dragged out by the daughter of the princess. Yu Wenhe was a little hesitant to see this, and at that moment he even wanted to "help" Yuwen Gankeng.

After a series of fighting, Mr. Liu became less and more powerful. He pulled the emperor hard and turned to look at Yu Wenhua and said, "What are you doing while standing there! Are you scared? Come and save him!"

Yu Wenhua and the other two hurried forward to help, but they could only pull the emperor. The daughter-in-law who was hanging outside could only be held by Yuwen Gankeng himself.

The Qianjin Princess was not a big deal, but Yuwen Gankeng himself was not a strong man. He barely grabbed his sister with one hand, but could not pull her up.

As summer and autumn change, the southeast wind sometimes does not occur. Not long after, the southeast wind rises again. The hot air balloons slowly float to the northwest. The long skirt of the daughter princess flutters in the wind, and from a distance it looks like flowers swaying in the wind.

She raised her head and looked at Yuwen Gankeng's red face with great reluctance. Her younger brother's appearance made her vaguely see what her father Yuwen Zhao looked like back then.

The daughter-in-law married far away from the grassland. She thought she would never have the chance to reunite with her family again. Since she learned that her father and brother were harmed by Yang Jian, she was even more heartbroken. Fortunately, her younger brother Yuwen Gankeng was alive, but she didn't know when she would meet again.

Fortunately, God blessed her and allowed her to travel thousands of miles to return to Yecheng to reunite with her younger brother. This is enough.

It seems that only if the hot air balloon is carried no more than five people, so one person must be sacrificed. The princess of Qianjin thought it very clearly that only by sacrificing her can the hot air balloon float out of the city smoothly.

Now that I have to jump alone, who would be willing? Not to mention that after leaving the city, Ping An has to escape after landing, Yu Wen and Mr. Liu have two other guards, at least they are strong and can ride horses and shoot arrows, and what about her?

A female person who is powerless and unable to help the emperor on the way to escape will be a burden.

"Goro..."

"Sister hold on, I'll pull you up right away!"

"Golang has grown up." Princess Qianjin looked at Yuwen Gankeng with a gratified smile on her face, and tears flashed with eyes: "Promise my sister, take care of yourself."

As soon as she finished speaking, she showed determination, stretched out her other hand, and tried hard to pull Yuwen Gankeng's hand.

"No! No! Sister, don't!!"

Yuwen Gankeng shouted loudly, crying, watching his sister pull her hands away.

At that moment, the wind seemed to stop. Yuwen Gankeng looked at his sister and smiled at him, then fell to the ground like a petal. Because the weight of one person was missing, the hot air balloon rose significantly.

Countless firelights flew towards the hot air balloon like fireflies. The imperial guards on the ground shot out the rocket, trying to burn the hot air balloon, but the rocket's range was slightly lower than that of ordinary arrows. The hot air balloon where Yuwen Gankeng was raised in time, reaching a height that the rocket could not reach.

In the air, Yuwen Gankeng's heart-wrenching cry came. The southeast wind became stronger and stronger, blowing the hot air balloons out of the palace and drifting towards the Tongquetai in the northwest corner of Yecheng.

In the streets and alleys of Yecheng, countless people looked up at the hot air balloons in the sky. Many people knelt on their hands, praying to the sky for the magical powers displayed by the Buddha, and then blocked the streets.
