The wind changed direction before dawn, blowing towards the Duo Eater's camp.
The person who reported the weather for Xiaobei and the others received a silver coin. It was a silver coin that was popular among Xiaobei and the others. If the person who received it couldn't buy the products of Xiaobei and the others, they could use the silver coin to make jewelry for their children.
With the wind, a sunny day was the best time to fly a kite. More than a hundred children ignored the dust in the desert and carefully flew the kites one by one.
"Release." Xiaobei shouted. The ropes in the hands of three young guards broke one after another. The three kites in the sky flew freely towards the Duo Eater's camp. They descended in the air and finally landed a few dozen feet away from the Duo Eater's camp.
The older brother immediately calculated the height of the kites. Under the condition that the wind speed didn't change, some of the kites' strings were retracted, while some were released.
"Second Brother, will it work?" Xiaobei asked uncertainly.
Xiaohai smacked his lips twice. "It, it should work, right? I've calculated it before. "
"I'll trust you this time. Prepare the child kites. Hang." Xiaobei selectively believed in his older brother's calculation skills and shouted to the other guards.
The young guard immediately picked up the child kite even more cautiously. Originally, the child kite would fall from the mother kite after the child kite followed the string and hit the mother kite. This time, a magnet was used. Not only would the child kite not close, but it would stick to the mother kite.
More than a hundred kite strings hung on the kites and flew upwards against the wind. When they reached the peak, Xiao Bei gave another command, and all the kite strings were cut. They floated down towards the Maneaters' camp.
The final result proved that no matter how talented a child was, it was impossible to accurately calculate the landing point of the kites. The fine structure of each kite, the changes in wind speed, the relationship between buoyancy and gravity, let alone Xiaohai, even Wang Juan, a genius student like her, wouldn't be able to calculate the final result.
More than a hundred kites fell everywhere. Some of them didn't have any reaction after landing, while some burst into flames.
Even so, Xiao Bei's plan could be considered a success. Nearly 40 kites landed on the Duo's tents. With the impact, most of them burst into flames. Coupled with the oil and cotton that the kites carried, the flames grew bigger with the help of the wind.
By the time the cannibals reacted and wanted to put out the fire, it was already too late. All the tents that were set on fire by the kites were turned into piles of fire, and dozens of people were even burned.
"Yeah! Who asked you to chop down my haloxylon shuttle tree? Without the haloxylon shuttle tree, I wouldn't have the Desert Cistanche. Without the Desert Cistanche, I would have one less dish. My next move is called Dancing Fire Phoenix. Hmph! "
When Xiao Bei saw the scene of the fire through his Thousand Mile Vision, he waved his little fists in celebration.
The shouts of the Duo Eater came from afar. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, who had just woken up and were about to eat, came out to take a look in surprise. They thought that the Duo Eater had gone crazy and wanted to attack them with only 2,000 people.
"What's going on?" Zhang Xiaobao didn't need binoculars to see that the Duo Eaters were living a prosperous life.
Someone immediately came over. "Young Master, it's Xiao Bei and the others who set fire to the Duo Eaters' tents. It's estimated that at least one-fifth of the tents have been burned. If we don't put out the fire quickly, more will be burned when the wind blows."
"Who? Xiao Bei? Who ran over with her? "Zhang Xiaobao didn't understand.
"Little Young Master, no one is going. This subordinate has already told the two of you the day before yesterday. Little Miss Xiao Bei and the others want to make kites, throw cannons, oil, and cotton. Didn't the two of you already know?"
The person who replied seemed very wronged.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other and nodded numbly.
Yes, they knew. Both of them knew, but who would have thought that Xiao Bei and the others wanted to burn the Duo Eaters' tents? Usually, they liked to make small things for fun. They always wanted something, but not a lot. Occasionally, they could make some interesting gadgets.
For example, an automatic slingshot. When a slingshot was made, the slingshot would be pulled by the rotating force of the windmill. After a certain extent, the slingshot would hit a thimble and fall. On the other side, a small stone would fall on the slingshot and be shot out by the slingshot. Sometimes, if the small stone didn't fall well, they would use many small stones to fall one after another. When they were shot out, it would be very inaccurate.
Another example was an automatic fishing rod. When the fishing rod was put into the water, it wouldn't float. Only a line was stretched on the head of the fishing rod. If a fish pulled the fishing rod and it floated a lot, the other side of the line would pull the fishing rod up. Although the accuracy rate was very low and although it wasn't practical, it was indeed a small invention.
"Compared to the things they made before, this kite is much more practical. We should give it a name. It should be called …"
"Xiao Bei said it's called the Flying Fire Phoenix," the person who replied interrupted.
"Good name. Let's go to the front and welcome the distinguished guests from afar," Wang Juan saw that there were people in front of them and praised the name. She and Zhang Xiaobao went forward to welcome them.
As for whether the trouble caused by Xiao Bei and the others was a disaster or not, that was secondary. Was it easy for children to die? Burning your camp with something that they had painstakingly invented was giving you face. You should feel honored.
The Duo Eaters came. There weren't many of them, only seven people. One of them was the leader. They probably knew that it was useless to have more people. They might even be beaten up. Only seven people came to reason with them.
The leader had learned the language of the Tang Empire. When he saw Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he knew that they were the real deal. "I am from the Duo Eaters Empire …"
He said a long name. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't remember it. They only remembered the key name, Larde. This was the name of the Duo Eaters in front of them. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't want to know about his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and so on.
"So it's Larde. Why did you destroy our haloxylon shuttle trees? Now you want to use the fire as a signal to gather people to attack our defenseless kind merchants? "
Zhang Xiaobao questioned Larde with a sullen face.
This was Larde's first time dealing with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. He had heard about them before and had even seen their faces in pictures. According to the rumors, they were very unreasonable. Now that he saw them, he knew that the rumors were not as good as meeting them in person.
The flaming kite clearly flew over from here. As soon as they touched it, they made a preemptive strike. Who would use the fire as a signal to burn his beard and clothes? Didn't they see that he was still black?
"It's you. You burned our camp. We didn't touch your haloxylon shuttle trees. You used despicable means to burn our camp."
Larde retorted loudly.
"We used despicable means to burn your camp? I don't know what you're thinking. I deny it. You are insulting us. We love peace and won't use despicable means. Even if we use kind means, we won't just burn a small part of your camp. If you don't believe me, I'll let you know tonight. "
Zhang Xiaobao resisted and threatened with an aggrieved expression.
Larde had not personally experienced Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's fear, but that didn't mean that he hadn't heard of it. When he heard that Zhang Xiaobao was going to make a move tonight, he felt uncertain and unwilling to let it end like this. He took an unlit kite from the hands of the people behind him and said, "You used this thing to burn our camp. It's called a kite, I know."
"Did someone fly a kite?" Zhang Xiaobao turned around and asked.
"In reply to the young master, Xiaobei and the ladies just did."
"Go find them."
After a while, Xiaobei, who was still excited from her victory, skipped over.
"Xiaobei, did you bully the Duo Eaters? Look at how you bullied them. Look at this Larde. How did you bully him? Larde, this is the person who flew the kite. You can ask her. "
Zhang Xiaobao carried Xiaobei in front of Larde and lectured her, then changed the subject of Larde's reasoning.
Larde was already dumbfounded. He looked at Xiaobei's appearance and listened to Zhang Xiaobao's lecture. He used his hand to measure Xiaobei's height, then squatted down helplessly and forced a smile at Xiaobei.
"Little girl, were you the one who burned our camp?"
"No, why would I burn down your campsite?" Xiao Bei blinked innocently and shook his head vigorously.
"Then were you the one who flew the kite?" Larde took the kite and asked.
"Yes, I was the one who flew the kites. I flew a lot of them. Did you see them?" Xiaobei nodded and admitted.
"That's right. The kite burned our camp. You were the one who flew the kite, so we should look for you." Larde's face turned red when he said this.
Xiaobei didn't admit it at all. "I flew the kite, but I didn't let the kite burn your camp. If the kite burned your camp, you should look for the kite. Why are you looking for me? You really can't change your mind. "
"You were the one who flew the kite."
"But I didn't burn your camp."
"The kite burned my camp."
"Then go look for the kite."
"But you were the one who flew the kite in my camp."
"Are you an idiot? I flew the kite, but I didn't burn your camp. If the kite burned your camp, it's useless for you to look for me. Oh ~! I understand. Are you saying that I'm not allowed to fly the kite? Are you not going to care if I eat or sleep? "
"I don't care if you eat or sleep. I don't care if you fly the kite, but the kite you flew burned my camp."
"I only flew the kite. I didn't burn your camp. It was the kite that burned it. It's like you picked a poisonous mushroom and threw it away. I picked it up and ate it. If I get poisoned, can I look for you and tell you that you shouldn't have picked that mushroom?"
"You can't say that. Where's my camp?"
"The kite burned it. I'm so angry. Brother, I'm not going to talk to him anymore. He's so stupid." Xiaobei looked very helpless. She looked at Larde with a look that said, "You should take medicine." Then, she turned around and said something to Zhang Xiaobao. She didn't care about Larde anymore and skipped away.
"Young Master Zhang, what do you think?"
"The kite burned it," Zhang Xiaobao admitted.
