Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi seemed careless.

He said lightly: "What's wrong with Xishan?"

Xiao Jing looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply and was silent for a moment: "Your Majesty, Fang Jifan... ran away."

“…………”

Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

This is also called news.

Where can he... run?

Xiao Jing said again: "The news here in Dongchang is that he took a convoy and rushed towards Shanhaiguan early the morning before yesterday. I am afraid that at this time, he had already arrived at Shanhaiguan."

Shanhaiguan...

Shanhaiguan is not far from the capital.

There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that the emperor guards the country's gates.

This is not unreasonable, because Beijing City is only 500 miles away from Shanhaiguan, the nearest front line, and 500 miles may be more distance to the south. After all, there are many mountains and rivers in the south, but in the north, especially the North China Plain, it is very close. Moreover, in order to provide food and wages for Shanhaiguan, the court built a special official road and arrived at Shanhaiguan almost straight. The distance of these 500 miles is closer than that of two hundred miles in the south.

After all, it is flat and there is an official road.

When Emperor Hongzhi heard that Fang Jifan had gone to Shanhaiguan, his face changed slightly.

Zhu Houzhao was holding her head aside, and when she heard it, she became excited, she whispered: "Ah, he's going? Is he going out of seclusion, right? Oh..."

Suddenly, the stuffyness that had been in trouble for several days suddenly disappeared.

"I really admire him. I have countless thoughts in my mind, all of whom are thinking about when to sneak out, but when I really want to do it, I am timid. I didn't expect this guy to be afraid of death. I admire him, and I admire him. When did Lao Fang be brave enough?"

Zhu Xiurong was so scared that she was so scared that she felt so heavy that she was busy holding her forehead.

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly arose: "Why is he so bold? If something happens again and loses his life, how can I explain to Hou Pingxi? After leaving the pass, it will be a place beyond the reach of the king's law. Don't he know?"

"Shen Ao also went with him, the son of Shen Wen, the Hanlin Grand Secretary."

Zhu Houzhao was very excited. In his opinion, if he had known that he would have been staring at Fang Jifan and went with him.

A man and a real man do something crying here, rush out of the detention and catch all the damn Tatars in one go, wouldn’t it be.

Lao Fang, Lao Fang, you secretly do such a big thing and don’t bring me with you. It’s really not a thing.

Emperor Hongzhi paced back and forth anxiously, and then he caught two more, one was the legitimate grandson of the Zhou family, one was the son of Pingxihou, and the other was the son of the Hanlin Grand Secretary. Emperor Hongzhi felt a little ache, and when he thought about his grandmother, he couldn't help but feel upset: "Even if he went there and could not mobilize his troops and horses, what could he do? Take a step back ten thousand steps. Even if I ordered him to control the officers and soldiers on the front line of Shanhaiguan, how could he save people? This matter was clearly the trap and trick of the Tatars. Fang Jifan actually went to the sheep and the tiger's mouth. If the Tatars took him again, what would the court do?"

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, I feel..."

"What do you think?"

Xiao Jing was silent for a long time and said, "I have analyzed Xinjian Bo."

"You said!" Emperor Hongzhi stared at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was a little difficult to say, but then he said boldly: "I think that this time... Fang Jifan is certainly taking risks, but I think that this is the one who really dies is Shen Ao. With Fang Jifan's character, he knows the principle of cunning rabbits with three holes best."

"Nonsense!" Emperor Hongzhi scolded: "No matter what, Fang Jifan went to rescue people, it was because he was loyal to me and was filial to the Empress Dowager. You, a slave, were talking nonsense behind the scenes when Fang Jifan tried to rescue him. What was this meaning of such unreasonable speculation?"

Xiao Jing was shocked and knew that he had made a mistake.

In fact, he is a very cautious person.

But just now, for some reason, I always have to tell my amazing discovery.

But when His Majesty roared, Xiao Jing was shocked, his face was terrible, and he hurriedly bowed to the ground, leaving his soul uneasy: "I have died."

A mistake, a mistake. At this time, no matter what the truth is, this is a heart-wrenching complaint, and I have fallen into it.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled coldly: "Get out."

Xiao Jing had never seen Emperor Hongzhi so strict, so he dared not hesitate and hurriedly surrender.

Zhu Xiurong was standing by, holding his forehead, but he was finally noticed. Someone whispered: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

Emperor Hongzhi and Zhu Houzhao were busy looking at Zhu Xiurong.

Zhu Houzhao was shocked and said, "Oh, the girl is crazy and she is called Fang Jifan. No, she is called the Imperial Doctor, quickly call the Imperial Doctor."

……………………………………………………………………

The sky is dark.

Whether it was Yang Biao or Shen Ao, of course he didn't dare to sleep.

They were in the vine basket, and the flying ball was adjusted and reached another airflow layer. It happened that the one blowing here was the north.

So, the flying ball still drove down the wind.

Yang Biao seemed particularly professional. He measured the wind speed according to the method he learned, and then roughly determined the direction of the compass under the raging fire of the turbulent oil tank. He was a little anxious to pee, so he urinated outside and couldn't help saying, "The flying flow down three thousand feet, right? Mr. Shen, I don't read many books. Have you read this poem wrong?"

Shen Ao was speechless.

He felt that this person was indeed a bride.

Shen Ao gradually got used to this height. At this time, the stars shone in the sky, but the earth under his feet was dark.

Yang Biao looked down again and began to look at the map, constantly calculating his position based on the calculated wind speed and distance.

The reason why Yang Biao was selected was that he was very brave and a little Biao, he actually had a very talent for calculation. He muttered and realized his mind. He continued: "At least two hours left, I can hurry up, and it happened to be at dawn. Mr. Shen, are you sleeping or not? If you are sleepy, just sleep for a while."

Shen Ao shook his head: "It's really a wonderful thing that people can fly up."

"What's this?" Yang Biao was happy: "If you have a benefactor, nothing is impossible. Even if you say that a person can travel eight thousand miles a day, I believe it."

"Why?" Shen Ao thought.

Yang Biao shouted: "Because he is a benefactor. I will believe whatever he says."

Shen Ao nodded, sighed, and said, "You are right, Master is an amazing person."

As Feiqiu went north, Yang Biao was a little sleepy and had a fight with his eyelids. He took out the jerky meat from his bag: "Do you eat it?"

Shen Ao was hungry, cheered up and took the jerky.

The jerky tastes good and is best for sucking slowly in your mouth: "You said, what should we do if we were taken by the Tatars?"

Yang Biao was silent for a long time: "Die."

Shen Ao nodded: "I don't know if I will have the courage to die."

Yang Biao was amused: "There is nothing to be afraid of. I slap my mouth and it's gone. My mother said, I'm the backbone of the family, so no one can have anything to do. But my mother said again, our family is still alive, and it's thanks to my benefactor. I'll do whatever my benefactor asks me to do. If you can die for my benefactor, you must not frown. Otherwise, our old Yang family is not a thing. I have already thought about it. I'm holding a dagger in my hand. When they get close, I'll scold them first. I'll give myself a happy time."

He is optimistic.

Chen Ao said nothing: "I have parents in the church, and I really want to die. I am very scared, but... I am a disciple of my master after all, so I don't want these things."

Then, he began to draw out the baggage and put the long sword on himself.

Seeing more than an hour passed and the sky was still dark, Yang Biao did not dare to neglect: "Sit down firmly, we should slowly descend.

He closed the valve of the turbid oil tank, and the balloon began to descend. When he reached a certain height, the ground could be seen vaguely. He began to take out the telescope, poke his head out, and constantly observe the situation on the ground.

After searching for a long time, the ground was almost black, which made Yang Biao a little impatient.

Chen Ao said: "What are you looking for?"

Yang Biao said: "My benefactor said that the Tatars were exposed. In order to prevent wolves, they would light bonfires outside the tent to find the fire."

Chen Ao also took a telescope, and the balloon floated aimlessly in the air. Suddenly, Yang Biao's body shook: "There is there, there is a fire."

Chen Ao looked in that direction. In the telescope, he saw dozens of bonfires emitted faint flames. The bonfire burned overnight and there was no more flames, but the remaining carbon was still emitting red light. Aside, the camp could be seen vaguely.

"Search quickly, the Tatars tease the guy named Zhou... Zhou and other people. It is said that they surrounded him and gave him food. The person surnamed Zhou must be in the middle of the camp. Please pay attention to the division of their camps.

Chen Ao held up the telescope and wished he could put his eyes into the lens barrel.

In this faint fire, he kept searching for something.

It was just that it was too dark and there was no trace of Zhou La.

However, the general direction can be confirmed. Yang Biao began to shake at a mechanism beside the vine basket. After the vine basket, a small wind wheel was installed. When Yang Biao shook it, the wind wheel began to stir up. With the rotation of the wind wheel, the balloon began to move quietly towards the bonfire.

Slowly, the sky became a little light, the sky turned white, and a ray of morning light fell.

Finally there was light, Chen Ao desperately searched every corner with his telescope.

"Finished..." Chen Ao suddenly said in surprise: "Look, there is a tree there, there is someone under the tree."

Under the telescope, two horses and two men were curled up under the tree, with their hair disheveled, as if they were not sleeping, and occasionally, they would move.

The closest to them was a ranger, almost three or four hundred steps, but the other party obviously did not realize that a huge balloon was floating in the sky that had not yet been fully lit.
