After a slight noise, a flame jumped out. It was an alcohol lighter.
The six of them looked at each other with mockery in their eyes. They seemed to be saying that the good tools they used were sold by Li Yi.
They turned around and looked inside the reference room. There was an empty space in the middle. There was nothing by the window, the door, and one wall.
On the other side of the wall, there was a big cabinet with many drawers, like those in a pharmacy.
The six of them separated. Two of them guarded the window, two of them guarded the door, and two of them went to the cabinet.
There were words on the drawers: Improvement of the hanging basket, improvement of the rope, improvement of the surface coating of the hot air balloon …
These were not things that the two of them needed until they saw a drawer with the words: Hot air balloon manufacturing diagram.
One of them blocked the light with his body, and the other carefully opened the drawer.
There was a book in the drawer. He took it out and flipped through it. There were pictures and instructions.
The drawing was still disassembled, and in the end, it was assembled.
The two of them nodded to each other. The one who took out something looked at his hand with the help of the light. There was dust on it.
He put the drawer on the edge and pushed it in. At this time, the flame of the lighter went out.
The six of them groped their way to the window and stood there to listen.
After a few seconds, they opened the window and jumped out.
At this time, they could not go out first. Once they were discovered, they could only rush out. It was useless to hide in the house.
The next step was to follow the path they came from. They took a detour again to avoid the annoying patrol team.
When they reached the river, they took off their clothes, wrapped the diagram, and went into the water again with the hollow reed in their mouths.
They did not swim back. If they went back, they would go against the current. They continued to go down.
Every once in a while, they poked their heads out to look. After about three quarters of an hour, they went ashore at a place downstream.
They put on their clothes again and ran to the opposite side of the road. Two of them stayed behind, and the three of them moved forward quickly.
The one in the middle carried the diagram. He did not feel tired and kept moving forward.
"It's done. Now we can trick them. Not just once, but for a long time. They can't make it in Chang 'an."
When Li Yi heard the news from the people behind him, he revealed a happy smile.
Those people thought they could run away, but they did not know that someone was following them with infrared binoculars.
Now that it was dark, it was impossible for them to enter the city, which meant that there was a stronghold outside.
As for whether or not to destroy that stronghold, that would depend on the demand.
A place that was already known was much better than a place that the enemy would send people to build a new one that they didn't know about.
"Let's drink and celebrate." Li Chengqi didn't want to sleep. He was too excited just now.
Finally, a set of blueprints had been successfully given to the Tubo people. The Tubo people should be very happy.
Li Longji thought for a moment. There seemed to be nothing important tomorrow, so he said, "Yes, Brother Yi, let's drink."
"Drink!" Li Yi was also nervous and needed to drink to relax.
His follow-up plan hadn't come out yet, but he could already scam those foreigners now. He was happy.
The three of them rushed to the cafeteria and found a few cold dishes to go with the wine. Only half a catty of wine was boiled.
Li Chengqi picked up a broad bean and threw it into his mouth, chewing it.
He swallowed it and said, "I wonder what their expressions will be when they find out that there is something they want but have very little of."
"That's why we can sell it to them and use another item to sell it."
Li Yi drank a mouthful of wine and exhaled a mouthful of wine. He felt comfortable all over.
"Otherwise, Brother Yi, how will you deal with it?" Li Longji asked.
"It's a secret. I need to study it again. This thing is not only useful to them, but also to the people of the Tang dynasty."
Li Yi didn't say anything. He wanted to wait until the final confirmation. Otherwise, he would be happy for nothing.
However, he was very confident about it. It was recorded in the data.
The three of them were eating and drinking. One of the Tubo people had already run to the water and called out. The group of people followed him.
They didn't ride horses. The sound of the horses' hooves was too obvious. Now they were like birds that were startled by the twang of a bow. They felt that whoever they saw was coming to catch them.
They went around the Chang 'an city from the east to the west. Then they separated on the road and walked all the way to the ruined temple.
There was a large group of people following them about four or five miles away.
They didn't ride horses, but they had a carriage. They looked like they were going on a normal journey. The bell on the horse's neck was taken off.
At such a distance, people couldn't hear the sound of the horses' hooves at all.
The carriage was equipped with weapons to prevent the other party from being at a disadvantage when fighting.
Along the way, the people in front turned and went to Xianyang.
"Is there a stronghold in Xianyang?" Guo Ziyi asked.
Fan Fan shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"I know. There's a ruined temple before entering the county. It's said that a lot of people died there. I think that's their stronghold."
A soldier of the Winged Knights said.
Guo Ziyi nodded. "It seems that the Capital Magistrate has to ask around in all the counties to find out where the mysterious things are."
"If we keep going like this, won't we walk until dawn?" Fan Fan estimated the distance and felt depressed.
"There are horses. I see horses. They are getting on the horses." The person standing on the carriage and looking through the telescope suddenly said.
"Untie the horses. You wait here. I'll go." Guo Ziyi stretched out his hand and asked for the telescope.
He carried a bow on his back, two quivers of arrows and a broadsword. He got on the horses and rode one.
He didn't take a crossbow at all. A crossbow was of little use to him. He just needed to shoot arrows.
The others were also relieved. As long as the horses were fine, their boss wouldn't be in danger.
Three hours later, the sound of horse hooves could be heard. Guo Ziyi was riding back. He nodded. "It's that ruined temple. Let's go up. There are people in the forest on the way."
Then he touched the telescope. "It's good. We can see the enemy at night, but the enemy can't see us. What a pity!"
"Dongzhu has already made a lot of things. With the hot air balloon, who cares if they are discovered?" Fan Fan was optimistic.
"Let's go back. Then we'll send people to disguise as people from other industries and find out more about their situation."
Guo Ziyi ordered. The team returned to the city. They went to the Forbidden Garden in the north of Chang 'an City.
Then they took the horses and returned to Zhuangzi. This way, they could save some time.
They were relaxed. A large group of people in the Honglu Temple were drinking. The dishes were left untouched.
Everyone just drank from time to time. They sat and looked at each other. They didn't want to talk or sleep.
The people of Tubo were anxious and expectant. The people of the other tribes were worried that they would be caught and couldn't take the torture. They would give them up.
Of course, they also suspected that even if they succeeded, the people of Tubo would say that they failed.
The people of Tubo would make a lot of hot air balloons on their own and turn around to threaten them.
"Everyone, don't worry. Even if it doesn't work, our people should be able to come back. They are very cautious. If they can't do it, they will give up."
The people of Tubo guessed what the others were thinking. He was the first to say that if they couldn't do it, they wouldn't have the blueprints if they gave up.
"We can't get it and then say that we don't have it. Then we can make it to hit our own people." A Tujue man said.
"No, we've already agreed. Everyone listen. If that's the case, I'll be the first to object." The Tubo man promised.
