Normally, an emperor would not easily go on a private visit in disguise.

But the situation was different this time. The emperor was also quite interested in the changes that had taken place in Miaojiang. However, what prompted him to finally decide to take the risk and take this trip was the fact that the Jin soldiers were marching southward. With the current strength of the country, it was impossible to resist the Jin soldiers.

If Miaojiang really had such a magical thing as his ministers said, then even the emperor would have to consider communicating with the other party. After all, face is not as important as the destruction of the country and the family.

So the emperor, along with Gu Zong, his imperial guards, and a trustworthy Taoist priest, set off for Miaojiang.

What surprised the emperor was that Gu Zong did not take them to Dali immediately, but took a boat all the way to Zhangzhou.

"Gu Qing, why are you here?"

After getting off the boat, the emperor was quite puzzled, and Gu Zong answered in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, there happens to be a flying boat connecting here to Dali. We can take the flying boat here and go to Dali."

"oh?"

The emperor was stunned when he heard Gu Zong's answer.

"Has this flying boat... reached Zhangzhou already?"

"Yes, not only Zhangzhou, but also Chengdu, Jiangling, Xiangyang and other places have been connected to the flying boat route."

"Huh, but why doesn't my capital have it?"

Hearing this, the emperor's face darkened again, and he was obviously unhappy. Then he threw his sleeves and strode forward.

"Let's go and see what's so special about that flying boat."

"Please follow me, sir."

As he spoke, Gu Zong led the emperor away from the dock and came to a strange building not far away. This building was built on the mountain and looked like a temple, but there was a long platform built on the mountainside. I don't know what it was used for. At the moment, many people were standing on the platform and watching, most of them were businessmen.

"Gu Qing? Where's the flying boat?"

The emperor turned his head and looked around for a long time, but did not see any trace of the flying boat, and Gu Zong gave a bitter smile.

"Your Majesty, it's not time yet. I've already bought the tickets. We can go directly to the VIP room later..."

"ticket?"

"Yes, sir. The method of riding this flying boat is very unique. Tickets are charged per person. Each person has one ticket. The front row is the first-class cabin, which is luxurious and gorgeous. Generally, people of noble status and wealth can sit in it. The ticket price is one hundred taels of silver. The back row is the ordinary cabin, which only has a table and chair, a pot of herbal tea, and the ticket price is ten taels of silver."

"Well... this ticket price is not that expensive."

Hearing Gu Zong's answer, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, and Gu Zong also smiled.

"That's true. Although it's a little expensive for ordinary people, it's fast, safe and convenient to travel to Miaojiang from here. It's worth spending a little more money."

"That's true."

Of course, the emperor understood what Gu Zong meant. In this era, if ordinary people wanted to go to Miaojiang, it would take a long time just to walk along the mountain roads, not to mention the ferocious beasts, monsters, bandits and robbers hidden in the mountains and forests. Ordinary people might die on the way if they were not careful.

Considering the time and energy needed for the journey, it is better to spend a little more money to take a flying boat. Except that it is slightly more expensive, it is comfortable and safe, and is naturally a good choice.

“Ding…ding…!”

While everyone was talking, a bell suddenly rang, and then the people on the platform rushed forward excitedly. Seeing this scene, the emperor was also shocked.

“This, this is…”

At this time, Gu Zong also spoke to the emperor, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.

"Sir, look, the flying boat is coming!"

At this moment, the emperor also raised his head and looked up into the sky, then his eyes widened in surprise.

Not far away, in the boundless blue sky, a small black dot slowly emerged. At first glance, it looked like an eagle or something in the sky. But as the black dot gradually grew larger, soon, a pure white strange creation slowly fell from the sky. It looked like a warship, but it was different from a warship. This white flying boat was in the shape of a shuttle, with air bags hanging above it and thrusters on both sides that could be used to rotate and change direction.

This is something Fang Zheng figured out through his own airship. Although it was the era of immortals, the use of spiritual energy was still very backward. Therefore, Fang Zheng simply referred to the hot air balloon and the German Zeppelin airship of World War I and created this airship.

The advantage of this airship is that the gas filled inside it is not helium or hydrogen, but the wind element from the wind spirit. Therefore, it has more advantages than modern airships, such as high load capacity, stability, convenience, safety and controllability. Soon, under the gaze of everyone, the flying boat slowly docked at the edge of the platform - now the emperor finally understood why this strange platform was built halfway up the mountain. At present, this flying boat is more than ten meters high. If you are at the bottom, it would be difficult to get on board.

"This thing is really interesting!"

Looking at the beautiful pure white flying boat in front of him, the emperor suddenly became interested.

"Gu Qing, how do we get on board?"

The emperor was a little anxious when he saw the crowd queuing up to enter the flying boat. On normal days, he would only need to show his name and everyone would make way for him. But now the emperor was on a private visit and naturally could not show his identity. But he was asked to queue up in such a long line... The emperor was definitely unwilling.

"Don't worry, sir. We have already bought tickets for the first-class cabin. This way."

As he spoke, Gu Zong led the emperor and others around the long line and came to the other side. The entrance here was different from the previous one. There were only a few people and a red carpet outside the door. Not only that, the attendants standing here were not like the fierce men over there, but a few beautiful girls with sweet smiles. Even if the emperor had three thousand beauties in his harem, he couldn't help but be dazzled when he saw these girls.

"Hello."

Seeing the emperor and his entourage arriving, the girls in front of them all smiled sweetly.

"Your ticket, please."

"Oh, here. Here."

As he spoke, Gu Zong smiled and handed over several wooden boards in his hand. After carefully examining the engravings on the boards, he respectfully made way and bowed slightly.

"Welcome aboard China Southern Airlines. Have a pleasant journey. Please come in."

Then, under the guidance of the girls, the group came to the cabin at the bow. As soon as they opened the door and looked at the scene in front of them, the emperor couldn't help but admire it.

“What a spectacle!”

Looking ahead, there was a large piece of transparent curved glass in the cabin in front of him. Through the glass, he could clearly see the green mountains and waters in the distance, and even the figures of people on the street below. The emperor immediately walked to the window in two steps and looked out curiously.

He even reached out and gently knocked on the glass window in front of him.

"What is this? Why can I see outside so clearly?"

It is no wonder that the emperor had such doubts. Although colored glaze already existed in this era, glass in the modern sense did not exist. Therefore, the emperor was naturally curious about the things in front of him. In fact, it was not just the glass, but everything in the room that made the emperor feel extremely novel.

Even the chair here was completely different from what the emperor knew. It looked like it was covered with leather on the outside. But when the emperor sat on it, he found that the whole chair was soft and sank directly. It was quite comfortable to sit on it.

"What is this? Why have I never seen such a chair before? It is so comfortable... Why don't you bring it to me?"

The emperor looked at them one by one. The more he looked, the more curious they became, and the more he complained. In a nutshell... I want them all!

“Ding Dong…”

Just as the emperor was looking at the things in the room curiously, suddenly, he heard a crisp bell ringing sound in his ears, followed by a sweet voice.

"Dear passengers, welcome aboard China Southern Airlines. This ship is about to take off. To avoid accidents, please take your seats immediately and fasten your seat belts."

"Hurry, hurry, sit down! Gu Qing, what is that seat belt? How do you use it?"

Although the emperor didn't know what a seat belt was, nor did he know where the voice came from, he still understood what the other party meant - that is, the flying boat was about to take off! !

I’m going to heaven!!
