My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 148
Zhu Zhanhe scolded all Jin Yiwei, including Liu Mian, bloody.

The gang of two hundred and five didn't even know the most basic gunpowder safety, so they just put the bird full of gunpowder not far from the brazier.

There are thousands of catties of gunpowder in such a huge flying bird. If it explodes, not to mention blowing up the prison, anyway, Zhu Zhanhe and the others who are the closest will definitely die.

Liu Mian also broke out in a cold sweat after reacting afterwards. It's not that he didn't know the danger of gunpowder, but he was careless for a while. He didn't expect his subordinates to be so unreliable.

The last huge flying bird was sent back to the Weapons Bureau by Jin Yiwei to disassemble it. After all, this thing is too dangerous and it is not safe to put it anywhere.

As for Tao Qiong, he was brought to Dongchang by Zhu Zhanhe.

"My lord, the bird has been dismantled, how can I fly to the sky?"

Tao Qiong asked with a distressed face at this time, he had spent countless efforts on that flying bird, even at the expense of self-stealing, to finally create it, but in the end he could only watch helplessly as it was sent to be dismantled.

"Don't even think about your flying bird. If you really fly into the sky with it, unless you have nine lives like a cat, you will definitely die!"

Zhu Zhanhe said very affirmatively.

"Then...then what can you do?"

Tao Qiong didn't dare to talk back to Zhu Zhanhe, so he could only ask bitterly.

"Come on, I have someone prepare something, you will know it when you see it!"

After Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, he took Tao Qiong to the backyard of the East Factory, where a yard was cleaned up, and Tao Qiong lived here temporarily during this time.

Zhu Zhanhe also brought over the things that Zhu Zhanhe had prepared, and when Tao Qiong saw such things, he was also surprised and said, "Kongming Lantern?"

"That's right, it's the Kongming Lantern!"

As Zhu Zhanhe said, he asked someone to light the Kongming Lantern.

As the hot air filled the lampshade of the Kongming lantern, the Kongming lantern also flew up slowly, and finally flew higher and higher.

Zhu Zhanhe watched the Kongming Lantern disappear into the sky, and then asked Tao Qiong with a pretentious face: "You understand..."

Before Zhu Zhanhe could finish speaking, Tao Qiong closed his eyes, put his hands together and muttered something, with a devout look on his face.

"what are you doing?"

Zhu Zhanhe asked puzzledly.

"Make a wish!"

Tao Qiong opened his eyes, and answered with a natural expression.

His biggest wish now is to fly to the sky, and to keep his family safe. After all, his crime of guarding and stealing has also affected his family.

Zhu Zhanhe clenched his fists angrily, and kept silently saying in his heart: Don't abuse the prisoners!Don't abuse prisoners!
After finally suppressing the anger in his heart, Zhu Zhanhe said persuasively: "I let you see the Kongming Lantern, not for you to make a wish. Don't you think that the Kongming Lantern has inspired you?"

"Inspiration?"

Tao Qiong finally revealed a pensive look when he heard the words, and after a long time, he suddenly slapped his head and said excitedly: "I remembered!"

"Understood, tell me what you think!"

Zhu Zhanhe said with a smile, this kid finally understood his painstaking efforts.

"My lord, the Kongming Lantern was flying too slowly just now. If you can replace the candles below with gunpowder and keep burning the gunpowder to generate upward heat, the Kongming Lantern will definitely be able to fly higher and farther!"

Tao Qiong slapped his thigh excitedly and said.

"Don't you think of anything but gunpowder?"

Zhu Zhanhe slapped the table angrily and said angrily, what he wanted was a hot air balloon, not a Kongming lantern propelled by gunpowder.

"My son, calm down. The Xiaguan family has developed firearms for generations. Apart from firearms, Xiaguan really doesn't know anything."

Tao Qiong was startled, and hastily bowed to explain.

In fact, Tao Qiong is not stupid, but has gotten into a dead end. Since his grandfather's generation, the Tao family has been proficient in the development of firearms, and pinned their dream of flying on firearms, so they never thought about other ways of flying.

"Okay, the flying tool I'm going to use is called a hot air balloon. To put it bluntly, it's a magnified Kongming lantern..."

Zhu Zhanhe admitted defeat, and honestly explained the principle of the hot air balloon in detail.

"This... can it work?"

After Tao Qiong listened to Zhu Zhanhe's explanation, he still asked suspiciously.

Just relying on a huge Kongming lantern to take people to the sky is beyond Tao Qiong's cognition.

"I said that if it can be done, I will do it. You were in charge of the Military Weapons Supervision before, and we only have half a month. Are you sure you can make a hot air balloon?"

Zhu Zhanhe stopped talking nonsense and asked directly in a strong tone.

"According to what you said, son, the difficulty of making this hot air balloon is not high, as long as I need the craftsmen, half a month is enough!"

Tao Qiong patted his chest and promised at the end.

"Okay, you make a list of the craftsmen and materials you need, and I will send you the people and materials tomorrow!"

Zhu Zhanhe immediately decided that after half a month, he must give Zhu Di and others a big surprise!

In addition, Zhu Zhanhe is also thinking about whether to spread the bet and let as many people know the better, so that it will be impossible for Zhu Di to go back on his word.

At the same time, Zhu Di, who returned to the Hall of Martial Arts, was also thinking about the bet with Zhu Zhanhe.

"What kind of medicine did you say this kid is selling? How could he make a losing bet with me?"

Zhu Di frowned at this moment, and asked Zhu Gaochi next to him.

"Father, I think you were careless. Zhan He has a lot of ghost ideas, maybe he can really help that Tao Qiong fly up?"

Zhu Gaochi reminded him.

"Impossible. Throughout the ages, only the legendary gods can fly to the sky. If Zhanhe flies to the sky, isn't he a god?"

Zhu Di shook his head stubbornly.

In fact, I don’t blame Zhu Di, after all, since the beginning of human beings, Feitian has always existed only in people’s dreams. Tao Chengdao, the only one who dared to pursue this dream, was also blown to pieces by gunpowder, so Zhu Di didn’t believe in Feitian at all. nonsense.

"It seems reasonable to say so."

Zhu Gaochi was also a little shaken, and then his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Could it be that Zhan He didn't intend to marry that woman from the Chang family at all, so he deliberately made a losing bet with you, so that he can have a step down?"

"It's possible. Young people are thin-skinned. Even if they don't want to say something, they don't dare to say it. That's why they use this method to refuse!"

Zhu Di slapped his hands and nodded.

Then I saw Zhu Di chuckled and said again: "If that's the case, then I will help Zhanhe again!"

"Father, how do you want to help?"

Zhu Gaochi asked puzzledly.

"Order people to spread the news to the whole city. When Zhanhe loses, he can't marry that woman from the Chang family, and no one will say anything about him!"

Zhu Di explained with a smile.

"Then if our guess is wrong, does Zhan He really want to marry a woman from the Chang family?"

Zhu Gaochi suddenly thought of another possibility.

"That would be even better. When he loses the bet, that is, he won't be able to marry a woman from the Chang family, and it will teach him a lesson, so that young people don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

At the end of Zhu Di's speech, he laughed triumphantly.
