Chapter 86 Send the Meng family father and son to heaven!
Been stolen?
Upon hearing the news, Cui Yuan's first reaction was that he had auditory hallucinations!
Since he traveled to Daqin, he has done so many good things, and his reputation and handsome appearance have spread throughout the country.

Even when he goes out, there are countless girls staring at him like wolves and tigers. Which thief dares to steal from him without opening his eyes?
Aren't you afraid that if you are exposed, you will be beaten to death by the nearby people?

"What are they here to steal?" Cui Yuan asked blankly.

Could it be the gold that Brother Zheng and the Wang family rewarded him?It feels like they are the only ones that can attract thieves.

"I don't know! We haven't figured out their true purpose yet."

The girl shook her little head, held her chin in her hands, and continued: "After they came in, they just took a few trial newspapers from the left yard that the newspaper office sent to you a few days ago."

"Then he stood there stupidly and was discovered by Wang Daming and Uncle Huang who were patrolling."

"The coward Wang Daming was frightened and fainted on the spot. They only beat Uncle Huang unconscious."

"However, within a few seconds, Wang Daming, who was unconscious, suddenly woke up and screamed to attract the servants, and then he was frightened and fainted again."

Cui Yuan: "..."

Brother Daming, it’s worthy of you!

Such a coward character could actually have such an unexpected effect. The two thieves were probably stunned!

Seeing the young man falling into confusion and doubting his life, Mo Xue deliberately added insult to injury, covered his mouth and snickered: "Cui Yuan, tell me the truth, have you done anything untoward recently?"

"Otherwise, why would the thief care?"

Cui Yuan glared at her angrily.

The most important person to ask this question is whether you are okay!

If you could just calm down and let me worry less, Da Qin's Guo Zuo might have exceeded 200 years!
"Look at what I do?"

"I rushed over immediately to report the news to you!"

"And although they haven't been caught yet, they have been forced into the backyard without any escape route!"

"I believe it won't be long before they are escorted up."

"How is it? This girl is amazing!"

As she spoke, the girl put her hands on her waist and raised her head high, looking like she was in need of repair.

But Cui Yuan didn't get angry. Instead, his expression suddenly changed and his pupils suddenly dilated!

"backyard?"

"Are you sure they hid in the backyard!"

No!
Although the plan to conquer the Xiongnu is currently stuck in the blast furnace iron-making stage, and the Spring Festival is coming soon, he is not idle in Daqin these days.

Especially after receiving the surrender of the Mo family, many Mohist craftsmen followed Mo Xue to Liucun Fort, which further improved the scientific research strength of Liucun Fort.

The most significant achievement of this is the invention of the hot air balloon!

That's right, it's the aircraft that will take humans to space for the first time in the future - a hot air balloon!

Because the most critical material making up a hot air balloon is fireproof cloth that can withstand high temperatures, and Daqin happens to have fireproof cloth!

As the earliest fire-proof cloth in Chinese history, if any clothes made of fire-proof cloth are stained with dirt, they only need to be burned in a fire to restore them to their original appearance.

To the people of Great Qin, this was a very magical thing, and was praised as a fairy cloth by many alchemists.

But in fact, this thing is the ancient name for asbestos cloth, which is a cloth made of asbestos fibers.

It is fire-resistant, tear-resistant and strong. As long as you add a high-temperature stove, it will be a perfect hot air balloon!
And recently, due to the research on blast furnace ironmaking and mass production of coke methods, a large amount of coal has been accumulated in Liucunbao.

It can be said that the birth of the hot air balloon was due to the right time, place and people!

Originally, according to Cui Yuan's plan, he wanted to do it on the first day of October, the Spring Festival.

Taking the opportunity of giving a gift to Brother Zheng, he tricked Brother Zheng into going to the sky with him, so that he could experience the feeling of flying freely in the sky.

It can be regarded as revenge for the rules that Ying Zheng deliberately did not mention not long ago, which caused him to lose half a day of Liubo chess. At the same time, he can also prepare a special Spring Festival gift for the people of Xianyang.

Now, the completed hot air balloon is undergoing final adjustments in the backyard.

If those two thieves were careless enough to damage the hot air balloon, then his long-prepared revenge plan would be completely ruined!

"no!"

"I have to see it for myself!"

It's about your own revenge.

Cui Yuan could no longer remain calm and hurriedly walked towards the backyard, not even paying attention to Mo Xue's anxious shout for payment.

……

While Cui Yuan hurried over, in a corner of Cui Mansion's backyard, two strong men with frightened expressions were trembling and hiding in a tree.

One of them is slightly older and the other is slightly younger. Although their appearance has been disguised, most of it has been lost.

If Cui Yuan were present, he would definitely be able to identify them with his extraordinary memory!
Great Qin Shangqing Meng Yi, and his eldest son Meng An!
"Father, ugh~ I can't stand it anymore!"

Meng An tilted his head and looked down. With just one glance, the Meng family master who was afraid of heights was so frightened that his eyes turned white and he almost vomited on the spot.

If Meng Yi hadn't refused to reveal his identity even to the death, he would never have climbed such a tall tree!
It's so long!
"Why are you so useless!"

Meng Yi looked over angrily, hating the iron!

He originally brought Meng An here to take care of him at critical moments and to prepare for accidents, but he didn't expect that everything would become a burden now.

If he had known this earlier, it would be better for him to come here alone and not be so frightened!
Meng An looked anxiously: "Am I useless?"

"Father, you have to touch your conscience when you speak. Was this step included in the infiltration plan you told me at the beginning?"

Hearing this, Meng Yi was speechless.

Indeed, his plan before arriving was to sneak into Cui Mansion secretly, wait for Cui Yuan to show up, and then pretend to be a businessman who accidentally broke into the mansion, and come face to face with Cui Yuan to request accommodation for the night.

This way, Cui Yuan would not be given any chance to refuse.

Then he took the opportunity to get close to Cui Yuan over drinks and meals, and in a bragging way, tested how much Cui Yuan knew about the future of Da Qin.

Finally, the true identity was slowly revealed, giving this young man a huge shock!

Unexpectedly, just because he was addicted to a few newspapers, he was discovered by the patrolling servants.

As soon as his whole plan was carried out in the first step - sneaking into Cui Mansion, it was stillborn!

In other words, Cui Yuan couldn't hear Meng Yi's inner thoughts, otherwise he would definitely complain - this is some kind of historical showdown plot!
'It's all that damn big guy's fault, why is he so timid even though he's so strong! '

'To pass out first, then suddenly wake up, and then pass out again, is simply sick! '

Meng Yi's complaints were flying all over the place, and he wished he could catch Wang Daming immediately and give him a severe beating.

Meng An on the other side felt even more dizzy.

"Father! How about we admit our mistake to Cui Neishi!"

"As colleagues, these should be minor issues."

Meng Yi glared: "Admit your mistake?"

"You don't want to lose face, but I still want to save face!"

As one of the dignified Nine Qin Qings, it would be outrageous to mistake him for a thief.

If he were caught, I'm afraid he would laugh out loud the entire civil and military officials of the Qin Dynasty.Especially that guy Li Si, he definitely keeps bringing up old things again and will never let go of his tail for the rest of his life!

Thinking that he would have to bow his head in front of Li Si from now on, Meng Yi was not willing to admit defeat even if he died!

"But I...I really can't stand it anymore!"

Meng An was about to cry: "Even if you don't want to be exposed, father, if I vomit and the noise is so loud, you have to be exposed!"

"You are so useless!"

Meng Yi gritted his teeth, but he could only glance around quickly, trying to find a lower hiding place for Meng An.

Soon, he and Meng An were attracted by a huge wooden basket.

This wooden basket was placed in the corner on the other side of the backyard, with various ropes tied around it, and bursts of fire burning in the middle.

On the top of the basket, it seems to be holding something, straight into the sky.

But the night was too dark, and the firelight was shaking in the wind and snow, so Meng Yi couldn't see what it was.

"Is this... is this a futuristic invention created by Cui Yuan?"

"Why do you feel...a little dangerous?"

Meng Yi hesitated and guessed, frowning.

His instinct told him that he must not go near that place, but now it seemed that there was no better place to eat around.

He remembered that he had vaguely seen two Mohist disciples dressed as craftsmen holding shovels in the basket, and he didn't know what they were shoveling.

While shoveling, he said: "You can't... add it, otherwise..."

After saying that, he left without knowing where he went.

Meng Yi tried hard to remember, but he still only remembered these five words, otherwise he would not be able to hear the rest at all.

He shook his head and decided to find another hiding place.

Just a little bit close, be cautious!
As long as they survive this period of time and wait until the hunting servants go looking elsewhere, they can take advantage of the chaos and leave.

"No! I can't stand it!"

However, just when Meng Yi gave up, seeing the opportunity to get close to the ground right in front of him, Meng An could no longer bear his infinitely deepened fear of heights.

Before Meng Yi could make a decision, he grabbed the branch and slid down into the basket!

'Bad boy!What are you doing! '

Meng Yi was so angry that he vomited blood, but he had to keep up.

After all, Meng An is also his son and cannot be ignored.

Fortunately, although he is a civil servant, under the influence of his brother, Meng Tian, ​​the general of Daqin Zhenbei, Meng Yi's physical fitness is definitely among the top three among the officials!

Although it is not as good as the young Meng An, it is not much worse.

Without spending much effort, he and Meng An fell into the basket one behind the other.

When they came down, they deliberately lowered their bodies to avoid appearing.

Just as the father and son were about to breathe a sigh of relief, Meng An accidentally stepped on a scattered coal briquette with a "bang" sound under his feet, and there was a sound of confusion immediately behind him.

"Huh? It's strange, why did I hear something coming from the hot air balloon?"

"Did the thief go to the hot air balloon?"

"That shouldn't be the case. Mo Yuan and Nu were there just now at the hot air balloon. They are not blind. How could anyone dare to go there?"

"It's better to go and have a look. It's better to be careful. If you dare to go to Cui Mansion to steal, we must give him a good look."

"Ok!"

Several people were arguing, but they did not stop and kept walking towards this direction.

Meng Yi and Meng An's faces turned pale instantly and became bloodless!
'How to do? '

Meng Yi was sweating crazily on his forehead. He kept looking down and finally saw a shovel under his feet!
The two craftsmen just used it to shovel coal!
Without any time to hesitate, he immediately picked up the shovel, stood up straight, and began to replicate the work of the two craftsmen just now, shoveling coal into the stove in the middle of the basket.

Meng An was very smart and understood instantly. He picked up another shovel and did the same thing as his father, working hard to shovel the coal.

From a distance, there is no difference from before.

Not long after, the patrol team from Sobo came over.

"Go away, don't disturb our work." Meng Yi didn't turn around, just lowered his voice and yelled hoarsely.

"Haha! Sorry."

Looking at the two people who kept shoveling coal briquettes with their backs turned to him, the leader chuckled awkwardly, turned around and led everyone away.

Although the sound felt wrong, considering that the two of them had been facing the pile of coal briquettes, it was normal for them to be hoarse, so the leader didn't think much about it.

"Whoo~"

After the patrol disappeared for two or three minutes, Meng Yi breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they would not come back again.

He put down the shovel and sat slumped in the basket, with cold sweat covering his back.

After so many years in Da Qin's officialdom, this was the first time he felt so excited!

Just a little bit, just a little bit, I was exposed!

Fortunately, the patrols didn't come up to see their faces, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to pass this level.

"Father, we succeeded!"

Meng An was also relieved and full of joy for the rest of his life.

Since there has been a patrol here, there shouldn't be anyone checking here in the near future.

Just wait a little longer, and after escaping from Cui Mansion, tonight's nightmare will be over.

However, before he could completely relax, suddenly, the familiar feeling of nausea rushed into his heart again, accompanied by a "clicking" sound, and it was even stronger than before!

what happened?

Meng An was confused. It was normal for him to lie on a tree and feel like vomiting. After all, he was afraid of heights and the trees were very tall.

Why does he still want to vomit now that it has fallen to the ground?

With doubts in mind, he slowly leaned towards the edge of the basket, stretched out his head and looked at the ground. The next moment, he was completely stunned and almost suffocated on the spot!

"Father, why are we flying?!"

……

"Fly?"

When Meng Yi heard this, his first reaction was that Meng An was crazy!

They just came down from the tree and hid in the basket. Why did they suddenly fly?
Lose your mind and go crazy!
He didn't believe it at all and dismissed Meng An's words.

But soon, as he stuck his head out and looked outside the basket, looking at the trees that were gradually "descending" and the broken ropes floating in the air, he froze on the spot!
"Fuck!!!"

In an instant, both father and son were so frightened by the shocking scene that they stayed in place, as if they were completely petrified!
