The cables around the perimeter were then stretched taut.
Li Kui saw Hou Jian's gesture,
He jumped into the hanging basket and laughed.
"Alright, loosen the rope now."
Hou Jian did not have the ropes loosened immediately.
Instead, they slowly loosen the rope.
Let the spaceship slowly ascend.
At first, Li Kui stood in the hanging basket, looking around excitedly.
But after the rope had been lowered several feet,
When the spaceship was taller than the top of the main hall...
Li Kui's face turned somewhat pale.
They stopped looking around.
He gripped the edge of the basket tightly with both hands.
Hou Jian saw Li Kui's appearance,
He couldn't help but burst into laughter.
When selecting spacecraft crew members,
He discovered that quite a few people were afraid of heights.
They can climb mountains thousands of feet high.
But they dared not ride in the spaceship.
Because no matter how high you climb the mountain...
They are all down-to-earth.
The spaceship's basket, however, was made of a layer of vines.
Although very sturdy,
But once you reach a high altitude...
Those in positions of authority will feel insecure.
Li Kui was undoubtedly a person with a fear of heights.
"General Li, we're going to let the ropes go."
Li Kui had actually wanted to jump down for a long time.
He had just been clamoring to play with the spaceship.
If it goes down before it even rises...
I'll definitely be laughed at.
So he gritted his teeth and persevered.
But upon hearing Hou Jian's shout,
Li Kui could no longer hold on.
The lower ropes are for pulling.
He also felt that there was something beneath his feet.
If the rope is loosened,
The spaceship flew straight into the sky.
At that time, it really won't be able to reach the sky.
It can't touch the ground anymore.
"No, no, don't pull me down."
"I'm not playing anymore."
The people on the ground listened to Li Kui's anxious voice.
They couldn't help but laugh.
Hou Jian saw that Li Kui was getting anxious.
He dared not joke around anymore.
To avoid being beaten by Li Kui, he shouted.
"Turn the firepower down a bit,"
"We'll pull you down."
When everyone pulled the spaceship down,
Li Kui's legs were already weak.
Crossed several times,
He had just stepped out of the hanging basket.
"It was terrifying to be lifted into the air in that tiny basket,"
"I've never been afraid of a thousand troops."
"Only this spaceship is truly terrifying,"
"That's fucking weird."
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Acrophobia is also a kind of illness."
"It's not a matter of courage."
"Some people can't even stand up when they see water,"
"I faint at the sight of blood."
Li Kui nodded and said,
“King Liang is right,”
"I must be sick,"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't be afraid of flying."
"You guys play,"
"I'm going to find Dr. An to treat my illness."
With that, he walked forward.
Chapter 1823 Fiery Oil
Li Kui left.
The group took turns ascending into the air to admire the scenery of the Kingdom of Annam.
Because there isn't much oil in the fire.
Everyone glanced at it briefly and then lowered their prices.
The rest of the group did not fly alone.
Instead, Hou Jian led the way and flew around.
Although the spacecraft's payload capacity is not large,
But it can still carry two people without any problem.
Although it wasn't a solo flight anymore...
But it was my first time taking a hot air balloon ride.
Everyone was still inevitably nervous.
However, his reaction wasn't as strong as Li Kui's.
Zhao Yuan felt a little guilty.
He possesses unparalleled divine power.
Even if you encounter a raging elephant on the ground...
Even if you can't defeat them, you can still dodge them.
But once he was in the air, he had no choice.
Falling from a height of tens of meters
They certainly couldn't escape it.
So he had never ridden a spaceship before.
To date, the six spacecraft have completed over a hundred takeoffs and landings.
There wasn't a single problem, Zhao
Yuan mustered up his courage to fly this time.
Hot air balloons in later generations would occasionally fall apart.
In this day and age, hand-sewn hot air balloons are even more unsettling.
Fortunately, there were no problems this time either.
After rising to a height of several tens of feet,
The winding Fulang River and the plains on both banks are all clearly visible.
...
February 25th,
Zhao Yuan led five divisions: Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Li Gong, Han Tao, and Peng Qi.
Escort 100,000 Yue slaves northward.
Huang Xin, who stayed in Sanshan,
He led the barbarian soldiers of the thirty-six villages to continue annihilating the remaining forces of the Viet Ly Dynasty.
Capture the Vietnamese.
The barbarian soldiers of the Thirty-Six Caves suffered thousands of casualties.
Although the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty's army had been annihilated
But the resistance from the mountains and forests and the Yue people...
It still caused them considerable casualties.
However, most of the barbarians captured the corresponding Yue slaves.
Or they paid enough heads.
They atone for their sins.
But wealth can be a powerful motivator.
Five strings of cash for each Vietnamese slave
One Yue man's head was worth one string of coins.
The reward issued by Zhao Yuan,
It still provokes these poor and barbaric people.
They continued to hunt down the Viet people in the southern part of Annam.
Huang Xinbu has been supervising the people of the Thirty-Six Caves.
Some soldiers were also killed or wounded while venturing deep into the Yue people's villages.
