Li Shimin rode his horse outside the camp gate, and the army also set up dots on both sides, and the army in other directions was also ready to attack. For Li Shimin, no matter whether Li Xiu could escape with his men, he would not wait any longer. After all, the Turks could go south at any time. He had to solve the internal insecurity before this, so that he could do his best to deal with the Turks!

"Your Highness, it's getting late, should you attack now?" At this moment, Cheng Yaojin suddenly came to Li Shimin and asked. When Li Shimin was not there, he was the commander of this army, and now he is the commander of the attack.

"Wait for a moment, I still want to see what Li Xiu is doing?" Li Shimin was silent for a moment and said. In fact, he was also hesitating at this time, because he knew that as long as he ordered it, it would be equivalent to completely breaking apart with his third sister, Princess Pingyang. Although he had ordered the entire army in advance, no one could hurt Princess Pingyang, but no one in the chaos could guarantee that an accident would happen.

After Li Shimin finished speaking, he seemed to suddenly think of something again. After pondering for a moment, he spoke again: "Zhijie, what is Shubao doing during this period?"

"This..." When Li Shimin asked about Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin immediately showed a hesitant expression. After a moment, he spoke, "Your Highness, Shubao has been staying in his door for a while. I have gone to find him, but he said that it is inconvenient to meet him when he was injured, so I was unable to see him in the end."

Cheng Yaojin was also observing Li Shimin's expression when he spoke, and was very worried. Last time Li Shimin ambushed Li Jiancheng's brothers at Xuanwu Gate, almost all the generals of the Tiance Mansion participated. Qin Qiong, as one of Li Shimin's most trusted generals, was naturally informed in advance, but no one expected that although Qin Qiong went there that day, he was drunk and did not exert any effort in the whole process, which made Li Shimin very angry.

"Hmph, what an old injury attack, let him stay in the mansion and recuperate!" When Li Shimin heard this, a trace of harshness flashed across his face. Qin Qiong was one of the generals he trusted the most, but this person he trusted the most stood by and watched when he needed help the most. This was a betrayal for him. Therefore, during this period, he deliberately neglected Qin Qiong and almost never let him participate in anything.

"Your Highness calms down, Shu Bao is just stubborn. Sometimes he can't turn it out when he gets into a horn, so he does something confused. Please forgive me!" Cheng Yaojin hurriedly pleaded with Li Shimin.

Qin Qiong is his best brother. He also knows that the reason why Qin Qiong did not help Li Shimin when he was in Xuanwu Gate was mainly because Qin Qiong felt that it was against human nature to fight against each other, so he did not want to be Li Shimin's accomplice. However, as a minister, he did this obviously offended Li Shimin.

"Hmph, you don't have to talk for him. I won't be stingy to attack my own people!" Li Shimin said angrily again at this time. Although he was angry with Qin Qiong, he would not have been guilty of Qin Qiong's contributions to him before. He was just very unhappy about Qin Qiong's actions.

Just as Li Shimin was talking to Cheng Yaojin, he suddenly heard someone in the army exclaiming, and then everyone looked at the sky opposite, which made Li Shimin also stunned. The soldiers behind him were all veterans who had been tempered for thousands of times. What could have surprised them?

With this question, Li Shimin also followed the eyes of everyone. As a result, when he saw the situation in the distance, he stood there suddenly. He saw a huge ball floating in the air several miles away from the opposite side, and slowly drifted towards them along the wind, looking like a very low cloud.

"What... what is this?" Li Shimin couldn't help but ask in shock when he saw the huge sphere floating slowly from the opposite side. When he saw this huge sphere, his first reaction was the Kongming lantern, but the Kongming lantern was too big, just like the legendary Kunpeng.

"Your Highness, there seems to be something under the ball!" At this moment, Cheng Yaojin next to him also shouted loudly. Following the direction he pointed, Li Shimin also looked carefully. Sure enough, he found a basket-like thing under the ball, and it seemed that some ropes were connected to the big ball, so that it could fly with the big ball. What shocked him even more was that there seemed to be people standing in the basket.

"Li Xiu!" When Li Shimin saw the person in the basket, he immediately woke up and whispered in shock and annoyance. No wonder Li Xiu was so confident that he could take people out at any time before. Unfortunately, he had no idea that Li Xiu could take people to fly.

"It's really Li Xiu. There is another person beside him, who looks like... Prince Anlu!" Cheng Yaojin's sharp-eyed eyes. At this time, he not only recognized that not only Li Xiu was standing in the basket, but also Li Chengdao was next to Li Xiu.

Compared to the shock of the people below, Li Xiu in the sky looked at the land beneath his feet with a smile. Although the hot air balloon was not flying high, it was only one or two hundred meters away from the ground. It was like standing on a tall building in later generations and looking around. Houses, farmlands, military camps, etc. were all at their feet, making people feel proud.

"First... sir, this hot air balloon won't fall, right?" But at this moment, Li Chengdao suddenly saw Li Xiu holding the rope with both hands and asking him with a pale face.

"Why, I was scared so quickly. Where did you go just now?" Li Xiu looked at Li Chengdao, who looked pale, and couldn't help but smile.

After the hot air balloon was made, it did not undergo any tests at all. Although it was theoretically feasible, even Li Xiu was not sure whether it could fly. Even if it flew, it was not necessarily safe. So he wanted to come up alone. As long as he floated outside to see Li Shimin, he would succeed. However, Li Chengdao insisted on taking this danger with him, so Li Xiu could only let him come up in the end. Fortunately, the hot air balloon was quite affordable and flew well so far.

"I... Of course I'm not afraid, it just makes me dizzy!" Li Chengdao said stubbornly. If Li Xiu was not counted, he should be the first Tangren to fly into the sky. The feeling of not being able to step on the ground can easily make people panic, just like a fish leaving the water. Especially Li Chengdao is a little afraid of heights and has never dared to look down since he flew up.

"Don't worry, the hot air balloon is actually very safe. As long as the airbag above us does not explode or catch fire, there is no need to worry about air leakage or something. It will slowly fall to the ground, and there is no need to worry about being injured!" Li Xiu comforted with a smile.

In fact, it was Li Xiu's first time riding a hot air balloon. Most of his understanding of hot air balloons comes from books or later film and television dramas. Of course, he also knows that when the hot air balloons fly in the air, they will actually encounter other dangers such as strong winds. However, in order to reassure Li Chengdao, he didn't need to explain it too clearly.

Just as they were talking, the wind power also sent their hot air balloons to Li Shimin and others. This was also what Li Xiu had calculated long ago. Of course, they were lucky, at least the wind direction did not change much.

At that moment, Li Xiu poked his head out of the hanging basket made up by bamboo, looked at Li Shimin below with a smile and said loudly: "Your Highness, King Qin, I said that I wanted to leave and no one could stop me. Do you believe it now?"

"Li Xiu!" When Li Shimin looked up and saw Li Xiu's hateful smiling face, he couldn't help but roar. After saying that, he reached out to take off his bow and arrow, bent his bow and arrow to hit Li Xiu on his head with an arrow.

Li Shimin was amazing in power, using a super powerful four stone bow. As a result, he shot out with an arrow and immediately rushed out like lightning. However, when the arrow shot up, it was easily affected by gravity. The more it went up, the weaker it became. In the end, the arrow flew hard to fly in front of Li Xiu, but it was already the last one.

What was even more unexpected was that Li Xiu reached out and grabbed the arrow, then looked at Li Shimin again and said, "Your Highness, King Qin, I think you should not waste your energy. My hot air balloon can be higher at any time, but it is not convenient to talk to you. Also, look behind me!"

Li Xiu said and pointed to the direction he had just flew over, which made Li Shimin turn his head and look again. As a result, there were six or seven hot air balloons floating in the distance, but these hot air balloons did not fly over, and it seemed that they were pulled by the rope below.

"What do you mean? Who are the people in those hot air balloons?" Seeing the hot air balloons in the distance, and looking at Li Chengdao beside Li Xiu, Li Shimin suddenly had a very bad premonition, as if everything was out of his control.

"Haha, it's not interesting. But does the King of Qin really want to discuss these things with me in front of the army?" Li Xiu said with a smile again. At this time, the hot air balloon he was riding in had already floated over Li Shimin and others' heads, and was floating towards the direction of the military camp. If he didn't fall, he might float directly across the military camp. After all, Li Xiu could not control the direction of the hot air balloon.

"Okay! Let's talk about it if you fall down!" Li Shimin turned his head and looked at the soldiers around him, and gritted his teeth and said, although these soldiers were his direct troops, some words were indeed inconvenient to say in front of these people, especially because he did not want to give up on Li Xiu in front of others.

"Okay! Chengdao turned off the fire!" Li Xiu agreed happily when he heard this. Then he saw Li Chengdao carrying a bag of sand and extinguishing the stove on it. He seemed to be not worried about Li Shimin's detriment to him after it fell down. You should know that he is one of the threats Li Shimin wants to get rid of the most? (To be continued.)
