Chapter 191 Hanshan Heroes' Gathering
The Hanshan Heroes' Tournament officially begins tomorrow, and today is the registration deadline. However, many people are still registering.
Dao Meishan squeezed through the crowd and shouted, "I'm signing up!"
Dao Meishan was the assassin found in prison a few days ago after Wang Wenzhou was assassinated, and he was made to implicate the Four Great Talents and others as the masterminds.
Later, Dao Meishan was imprisoned in a labor camp. He had no other skills, but he was an excellent fighter. The reason he was locked up was because, during Wang Wenzhou's wedding, he broke the ribs of four people and the legs of two others...
Dao Meishan had long heard about the Heroes' Gathering in Hanshan, but he was imprisoned in a labor camp and couldn't register. So recently, he studied very hard and was finally recognized as an outstanding student, earning the opportunity to have dinner with Mr. Liu Rushi.
After the riot, Wang Wenzhou rarely went to the labor camp to eat with the outstanding inmates. However, this rule has been passed down, and now the outstanding inmates all dine with Liu Rushi.
Dao Meishan then asked Liu Rushi for leave, wanting to attend the Heroes' Gathering in Hanshan.
Liu Rushi agreed to Dao Meishan's request, which allowed Dao Meishan to come and register.
"What's your name? Do you have a certificate of good conduct in Hanshan?" the staff member asked.
Dao Meishan quickly took out his good citizen certificate, handed it to him, and said, "My name is Dao Meishan."
After checking the good citizen certificate and confirming that it was correct, the staff member said, "First of all, you must understand. Participants in this Hanshan Heroes Tournament will be in mortal danger. Therefore, you must sign a statement that if you die on the field, it is because you are not skilled enough. Your relatives and friends cannot use this as an excuse to seek compensation from your opponents."
"Yes, yes! Don't worry, I know!" Dao Meichan quickly replied.
"I will now read the contents of the statement..."
At this moment, a person whose body was completely covered up walked up to another staff member and said, "I want to register."
The staff member paused for a moment, looked the person registering the dough figurine up and down, and asked, "Are you a woman?"
"What? Women can't participate?" Zhang Jiao asked irritably.
The man quickly shook his head and said, "You can participate. There's no rule against women participating in this competition. But I'm just giving you a friendly reminder, young lady, fighting and killing aren't suitable for women. You should go home."
Zhang Jiao said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and register me."
The man saw that he couldn't persuade her and there was nothing he could do. Although he couldn't see the girl's face, she had a good figure, and it was a real pity that she died on the field.
"Please show your good citizen certificate."
"Huh?" Zhang Jiao was stunned for a moment. They needed a certificate of good conduct? Wouldn't that give them away? What if her husband found out and got angry?
The staff member advised again, "Girl, go home. This kind of competition is a battlefield for men, it's too cruel for women."
"Hmph!" Zhang Jiao snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Zhang Jiao practiced martial arts from a young age and dreamed of joining the army. However, she later discovered that women were not allowed to serve in the military. When Wang Wenzhou established a female police force, she immediately signed up to fulfill her childhood dream.
Zhang Jiao really wanted to participate in this Heroes' Gathering.
"Good citizen certificate, good citizen certificate!" Zhang Jiao muttered to herself as she walked. Husband, why do we need a good citizen certificate to register? How annoying! My identity will be exposed as soon as I pull out my good citizen certificate!
"But I want to participate!" Zhang Jiao pouted, unsure of what to do.
"How stupid of me!" Zhang Jiao suddenly had an idea. Why not just ask Li Hechen to make me a real fake good citizen certificate? If Li Hechen dares not to make it for me, I'll beat him to death!
……
The competition rules set by Wang Wenzhou were similar to those of later unrestricted combat, except that competitors could use their own equipment. Even those wearing armor could participate. The only weapon prohibited was the bow and crossbow.
Although Wang Wenzhou had also implemented some protective measures, he was certain that not every match would result in death, but serious injuries, missing limbs, or even death were likely the fate of the losers.
If Wang Wenzhou knew that Zhang Jiaobao was participating in the competition, he would definitely pull down her pants and spank her.
But that could only be a hypothetical, because Wang Wenzhou was developing a hot air balloon. Because Liu Rushi had said that if he could fly, she would let him touch it as he pleased.
This was an irresistible temptation for Wang Wenzhou. With the technology of the Ming Dynasty, they couldn't build airplanes, but hot air balloons were still quite easy to make.
"Ruru, Ruru, wait for me, I will definitely come to touch you on a colorful cloud." Wang Wenzhou kept shouting in his heart.
"Oh no! It's on fire again!" Wang Qiang shouted.
"Sigh..." Wang Wenzhou sighed, having failed once again.
"Xiaoqiang, you little brat, what are you yelling about? Put out the fire right now!" Wang Wenzhou scolded irritably.
"What are you standing there for? Put out the fire!" Wang Qiang ordered the sedan chair carriers to put out the fire.
Wang Qiang was in a bad mood because he thought Wang Wenzhou had gone mad.
Young Master actually wanted to fly just to touch Liu Rushi! My young master! Where has your wisdom and courage gone? How can a person fly?
What hot air balloon? It's just a Kongming lantern! Young master, you're so heavy, even the biggest Kongming lantern can't carry you away!
Wang Wenzhou pointed to the silk used to make the hot air balloon and said, "This time, make it bigger, and leave enough space at the entrance. That way, the balloon won't be easily ignited by the flames."
"Young Master, forget it! How can a person fly in the sky? Unless you can turn into a bird!" Wang Qiang advised.
"You little brat, what do you know about science! This is science! Humans can not only fly into the sky, but also fly out of the Earth!" Wang Wenzhou said disdainfully.
Wang Qiang shook his head slightly. "Young Master is really obsessed with touching women! Should I go and talk to Liu Rushi and ask her to persuade him? What if he falls and dies if this continues?"
Thinking of this, Wang Qiang became a little scared. What if he told Liu Rushi and the young master went berserk and beat him again? Oh well, let the young master do what he wants. Anyway, he's already been working on it for two days and hasn't even made a single hot air balloon that can fly.
Soon, another hot air balloon was ready.
Wang Wenzhou commanded, "Ignite it!"
Sheng Liang took a torch and lit the oil spray nozzle at the entrance of the hot air balloon.
Wang Wenzhou's hot air balloon uses vegetable oil as fuel. Inside the balloon's basket, there is a large barrel, more than a meter thick, filled with vegetable oil.
There is a pedal at the bottom of the barrel. Stepping on it will compress the oil inside the barrel and spray it out from the injection hole.
"Whoosh..." The flames quickly ignited.
Five sedan chair carriers, each holding a piece of balloon cloth, scattered and ran behind the hanging basket.
As the flames burned, the balloon inflated, gradually expanding, and the soldier quickly released his hands. The balloon slowly floated into the air.
Wang Wenzhou nodded and ordered, "Xiao Liang, keep going and make the fire bigger."
"Okay!" Sheng Liang nodded and increased the frequency of pressing the pedal.
"Whoosh..." The flames grew larger instantly.
The hot air balloon was already filled with air, and as the air temperature rose, it gradually floated up.
"It's flying! It's really flying!" Sheng Liang exclaimed excitedly.
Wang Wenzhou quickly said, "Keep an eye on the tether, don't break it, let the balloon fly away."
Wang Qiang was dumbfounded. This actually worked? The hot air balloon really took off, the tow ropes attached to the basket now fully taut. Without the tow ropes, the balloon, in its current state, could have flown even higher.
