"Truly beautiful...."

After the airplane ascended, Xiaozhao sat in the back seat, observing the scenery on the ground through the cabin.

The boundless vastness made him involuntarily feel exhilarated.

This is the territory of the Great Song!

"Your Highness."

Seeing Xiaozhao somewhat excited, Xu Yun maintained his focus on controlling the airplane and said:

"There is no one else around now, if you feel like it, you can shout out loud towards the distance."

"Don't ask me how I know, everyone has this urge the first time they fly."

"We're flying at a low altitude and a slow speed, there won't be any issue at all."

Upon hearing this, Xiaozhao was taken aback and was about to refuse when Xu Yun said:

"If you don't shout this time, after you ascend to the Imperial Throne, you might never have the chance in your lifetime."

Xiaozhao opened his mouth but eventually said nothing.

Indeed.

Just like Xu Yun said.

I'm still King Jian now, but after the plane lands, I will become Emperor Song.

With all the pressures and halos of succession, there might really be no room for indulgence then.

Besides, compared to others, Xu Yun knows almost all of my secrets, even my ascension was propelled by him.

Indulging once in front of him doesn't really matter.

Thinking of this.

Xiaozhao couldn't help but lift his helmet, expanded his chest, and shouted towards the distance:

"Hey——————!"

At the same time.

In the cockpit, Xu Yun also turned his head and shouted in a falsetto voice:

"Wuhu—————!"

A moment later.

Xu Yun gave a thumbs-up towards the rearview mirror, and both of them burst into laughter.

Then, the airplane flew on for a while longer.

As they passed over a mountain, Xu Yun suddenly said:

"Your Highness, ahead is Bianjing City."

"I... I see it."

Xu Yun was silent for a moment, then said:

"Your Highness, this humble one has a low status, but there are some words that I must boldly say, please grant your permission."

"Speak freely, no need to hold back."

"The Elder is aged and has limited energy, it might be difficult for him to assist in governance."

"In my humble opinion, Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye could assist in civil affairs, Wang Bing and Liu Fa could handle military duties, internal strife should be swiftly cut through..."

"If necessary, you can even use the words of Guo Jing, claiming that it has heavenly wings..."

Xu Yun rambled on for a while, and after Xiaozhao listened quietly, he suddenly said:

"Mr. Wang, are you planning on leaving?"

Xu Yun was taken aback for a moment, then sighed:

"Your Highness, there are rules within the Sect, I hope Your Highness can forgive me."

In the co-pilot seat behind him, Xiaozhao also sighed.

He was not a fool, he had already been speculating ever since Xu Yun entrusted a book to Xiaoli to hand over.

A wise man who opened the door of science for him, a dark hand that propelled him to the throne, a treasure trove that held countless wondrous skills...

If it were another emperor, perhaps they would rather kill him than let him go.

But Xiaozhao was different.

He was someone who had been through hardships, having suffered under Zhao Ji's persecution, he fully understood one's yearning for freedom.

At least for now, his heart wasn't that cold.

.......

And so.

The biplane slowly headed east, finally reaching the outskirts of Bianjing City.

According to ceremonial requirements.

When a Northern Song emperor ascends the throne, only the people near Vermilion Bird Gate need to kneel long-term.

Apart from this, most people only need to stand in line, serving as something akin to extras.

At this moment.

East of the city, Red Hair Lane.

Zhang San, along with his family, keeps looking towards the original point in the crowd.

Perhaps because they've been standing too long, Zhang San's younger brother gently tugged at his sleeve:

"Big brother, I'm hungry."

Hearing his brother's whisper, Zhang San first hushed him and cautiously glanced around.

After ensuring that the patrolling officers weren't looking their way, he quickly dug out a few broken pieces of biscuit from the inside pocket on his chest:

"Eat quickly, and keep quiet!"

Zhang San's brother stuffed the biscuit pieces into his mouth, swallowing with several muffled hums, then asked:

"Big brother, when will the auspicious things the lords mentioned arrive?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang San hesitantly shook his head.

He only knew that the auspicious event seemed to be related to their lord, but knew nothing of the specifics.

By the way.

Speaking of the lord, it's been quite some time since he saw Brother Wang, only recently receiving a book he sent...

Just as Zhang San's thoughts drifted,

he suddenly felt his previously soft and weak brother straighten up abruptly and start swaying vigorously in broad daylight:

"Big brother, look over there!"

Zhang San instinctively turned his head.

In the distant sky, there suddenly appeared a massive object, even eagles and falcons paled in comparison to its majesty.

Upon seeing this,

the young man, who had seen some grand events before, couldn't help but gasp, a realization flashing through his mind as he pointed to the sky:

"Look quickly, the auspicious sign, the auspicious sign has come!!"

In reality.

At this moment, Zhang San was not the only one overwhelmed with excitement.

As the slowly approaching Wave 2 entered their sight.

The entire populace in the east of the city had virtually gone mad within a few seconds!

After all, before this, the patrolling soldiers had already given them a heads-up, informing them that an auspicious sign would surely appear in the sky today, and they were instructed not to fear upon seeing it.

Under such circumstances.

The people's first reaction to seeing the airplane was naturally not fear, but a mix of joyous surprise and awe at witnessing the shattering of their understanding.

In their experience, there was only one man-made object capable of flight, and that was the kite flown in early spring.

But compared to the incoming auspicious sign, even a fool could discern that there was no comparison:
