After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

It is also a good way to relax when you are tired of reviewing memorials.

But today, he had just hugged his beloved concubine and before he had time to enjoy it for a moment, his interest was disturbed by something falling from the sky.

Emperor Yong's face turned pale, and Su Qi immediately shouted, "Come here, catch the assassin!"

Immediately, a team of imperial guards surrounded the place where the hot air balloon crashed. They probed the inexplicable thing again and again, and then used their swords to pry open the air bag covering it.

Then I saw two mighty and domineering burly men hugging each other and shivering. They raised their heads with dull eyes, and it took them a long time to realize that they had fallen to the ground.

He immediately let out a cry and cried out in pain.

"Who are you?" Xiao Li, the deputy commander of the Imperial Guards, asked in a cold voice. The two big men were crying so hard that they were out of breath and couldn't speak at all.

"It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding..." Zhong Ning's voice came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Princess Zhaohua quickly step forward and pay her respects to Emperor Yong.

Emperor Yong waved his hand and then said, "You just said it was a misunderstanding. What exactly happened?"

Zhong Ning looked at the chaotic scene before him and explained, "Father, do you remember that I told you earlier that I had ordered Shen Yan to research how to send people flying into the sky?"

Emperor Yong: ???

Emperor Yong pondered for a moment, and immediately recalled that it seemed to be true.

"Well, this is it. It's called a hot air balloon. It's powered by fire and heat, and it allows people to fly in the sky..."

Zhong Ning said this and quickly called Shen Yan: "Shen Yan, come here and explain the principle to the emperor..."

Shen Yan then stepped forward and introduced them step by step.

From the initial acquisition of the production method, to the subsequent step-by-step development, to the current test flight...

Emperor Yong was dazed, but he understood what was going on. He pointed at the two men still crying beside him and said speechlessly, "So, they were taken out from the Sky Prison?"

"Um...yes..." Shen Yan smiled awkwardly.

Minister of Justice Li Dong immediately stepped forward to confess his crime, and his evidence confirmed that the hot air balloon could indeed take off.

Emperor Yong finally understood and looked at Shen Yan with a much gentler look, "This is a very good thing..."

Shen Yan was very excited to receive praise from Emperor Yong.

Zhong Ning's voice sounded faintly: "Just praise..."

Emperor Yong glared at her, then said, "Come here, give Ying Jibo a hundred taels of gold..."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Just try and adjust it more, it will be of great use in the future!" Emperor Yong hadn't realized it before, but now he suddenly understood that if this thing is used well, it will be a magic weapon on the battlefield.

Not only can it jump over the city wall directly and send soldiers directly into the city, skipping the siege process, but it would also be great if it could be combined with Lu Xingzhou's black box.

If you throw gunpowder from the air, wouldn't it be accurate every time?

In this way, Dayong not only has the advantage of gunpowder, but also has air superiority, and unifying the world is just around the corner.

Thousands of years later, history books will surely record that when Murong Li was in power, he recovered the country, his virtue spread throughout the world, and he was worthy of being a wise ruler of all ages!

Thinking of this, Emperor Yong's blood instantly boiled.

He was about to praise Zhong Ning again, but he saw the two prisoners crawling to Zhong Ning, kowtowing repeatedly, saying, "Princess, please, let us die..."

"I'm sending you on a flight through the heavens. This is a blessing many people would never be able to obtain. How dare you be so timid?"

Zhong Ning sneered and said sternly, "Where's the courage you had to kill and rob people? You even dared to kill people, so what else are you afraid of?"

"No, this is different, this is different..." One of the death row prisoners shook his head frantically and cried.

They killed people on the ground.

Moreover, those they killed were weak and unable to resist, and they posed no threat to them at all. But now, they were in the air, floating around, and felt like they would fall down at any time.

He fell to death on the spot.

This constant fear of waiting has long destroyed their sanity.

Make them hate themselves so much and wonder why they felt itchy in the first place.

"Tsk tsk... You guys can't do this..." Zhong Ning sneered, then turned to the Minister of Justice, "Sir Li, please send them back and postpone their death sentences for a year. Send a few more here another day to assist Ying Jibo in testing the hot air balloon..."

Li Dong's lips twitched slightly, but he also knew that the appearance of this hot air balloon would be a milestone in Dayong's development.

He was fortunate enough to be involved, so he naturally cooperated. "Your Highness, rest assured, this old minister will not fail in his mission!"

After saying this, he bowed and took his leave, and ordered his men to drag away the two prisoners.

"Father, regarding the affairs of the Academy of Sciences, Shen Yan should occupy a certain position... The development of hot air balloons is imperative..."

"Okay, I'll do as you say..." Emperor Yong saw the results with his own eyes this time and was very generous, "Recruit the people yourselves, and report to the Ministry of Revenue if you need money..."

"Long live Father!" Zhong Ning was overjoyed and hugged Emperor Yong's arm and shouted. The Emperor Yong's lips curled up slightly and said, "If I live long, wouldn't I become an old witch?"

"Who said that? Others may become spirits, but Father must be a god!"

"Oh?" Emperor Yong's eyes lit up, and he asked casually, "Why?"

"I've heard that those who become emperors are all reincarnated gods. Your Majesty is so wise, he must be the Great Emperor Zhenwu who has defected to benefit the people!"

Zhong Ning started to talk nonsense, saying that as long as they could get more funds, they would be given more flexibility after the academy officially started operating.

No need to worry about funds.

Therefore, it is very important to please the financial sponsor!

As expected, Emperor Yong was very satisfied. He had seen the Great Emperor Zhenwu in "The Legend of White Snake". He was a true god with great power.

He was really excited that Zhong Ning could compare him to the Great Emperor Zhenwu!

Emperor Yong didn't show his emotion, he just tapped Zhong Ning's forehead and said, "You are so good at coaxing me..."

"No way, my father is so wise and powerful!"

"Okay, go back quickly..." Emperor Yong drove them away directly. He was still anxious to have fun with his concubines!

Zhong Ning followed his gaze and saw four or five young concubines cuddling together in a corner of the imperial garden. He immediately complained in a low voice: "It's really like an old cow eating young grass..."

Emperor Yong's face darkened. How dare she talk about herself?

Just as he was about to retort and teach him a lesson, he saw Zhong Ning running away...

Yes, she slipped away.

Emperor Yong smiled helplessly, but felt more relieved in his heart. He had thought that his daughter possessed superb martial arts and would from then on surpass the imperial power.

But unexpectedly, her original intention remained the same.

Not only towards her father, the Emperor, but also towards everyone else, she remained the same as before, never thinking highly of herself just because of her strength.

You know, there are many people in this world who are arrogant because of their talents. If someone possesses extraordinary power, he will definitely want to place himself above all other living beings.
