In the clear blue sky of autumn, an eagle with a wingspan of five feet is soaring high in the sky.
With the help of the airflow rising from the ground, its pair of broad and powerful wings only need to flap a few times occasionally to glide an extremely long distance.
Gradually, under the sharp gaze of the falcon, the scenery on the ground changed from green grassland to gray wasteland, then from wasteland to golden farmland, and finally, came to a place with a tall chimney. villages and towns.
Circling in the sky over this village and town, this sizable eagle spotted a spot, suddenly folded its wings, and swooped down from the sky like an arrow from a string!
The falcon is falling too fast! It was so fast that even the surrounding air fluctuated at extremely high speeds, making a whistle-like wind howl!
And just when its body was about to hit a courtyard below!
The falcon flapped its wings fiercely, and suddenly the wind started to rise! The body with it stopped momentarily in the air less than a foot above the ground, and finally landed steadily on a wooden frame in the courtyard.
"Chirp~"
Retracting its wings, the falcon screamed a few times in the dust. A pair of sharp eyes kept turning along with its neck, and its sharp talons paced back and forth on the wooden frame, as if it was dissatisfied that someone was neglecting this bird in the sky. host.
At this moment, in a room in the courtyard, Lunzi, who was taking a nap on the table, first heard the cry. He shook his groggy head and glanced into the courtyard. When he saw the big eagle clearly, his mind suddenly changed. Qing, quickly stood up and ran out quickly.
However, when he ran into the yard and was about to get close to the falcon, he suddenly remembered something! He quickly stopped and turned back.
After a while, Lunzi appeared in the courtyard again, with a plate filled with fresh meat sticks in his hand.
"Don't peck me. My meat doesn't taste good. This is fresh mutton. If you want to eat it, just eat it..."
Holding the plate, the idiot muttered to himself while cautiously approaching the huge majestic eagle, always on guard against it taking a bite from his hand.
When the eagle got up, it was not interested in the idiot's rough fingers. It just swallowed the meat on the plate one by one like noodles, very quickly.
Seeing that the eagle was eating happily, the fool was relieved. He held the plate in one hand and carefully untied a small bamboo tube from the eagle's leg with the other hand.
"Eat, just eat! I'll have a wonderful dream for you!"
After checking the bamboo pipe, he found no damage. He rolled his eyes, muttered, and put the bamboo pipe into his arms.
However, he kept mumbling, but he didn't dare to face the eagle.
You know, this is the precious pimple cultivated by the dog-headed general with great effort, and it is a communication tool specially used for communication between the Xiao family and the grassland. Moreover, because there are many falcons and ferocious beasts in the grassland, this eagle is also particularly fierce!
I've always suffered from it before. If I take one arm off, my nose and face will be bruised and swollen, but if I get another claw, my skin will be torn apart!
So now, the idiot will never dare to touch it without paying homage to it.
The scout eagle finished eating the meat and gave it another gourd of water. It wasn't until the eagle spread its wings and started combing its feathers with its barbed beak that the idiot relaxed, dropped the gourd, and ran to the back house. .
"Master Hou, Master Hou! There is news from the grassland!"
He kicked Xiao Qi away from the Moon Gate. He ignored the bared teeth and cracked mouth, chased after the vicious dog that wanted to leave some mark on his fat ass, and rushed into the back garden of the house, screaming.
In the garden at this time, Xiao Han, who had not seen him for a long time, was sitting in the pavilion, twisting a chess piece in his hand, thinking hard about how to restore the decline on the chessboard.
Xiao Han's Go skills were learned from Sun Simiao. As the saying goes, I am a hero and a bear, and he is definitely a real bad chess piece!
Not to mention Xue Shou, Sun Simiao and those who were at the national level. Even against Old Man Hua, who was not good at this, he lost more than he won. He used all kinds of underhanded tricks such as stealing and exchanging. It's rare to win a few times.
"What, there's news from the grassland?"
Outside the garden, a series of shouts and screams came. Xiao Han was delighted when he heard it. He stood up and waved his hands to mess up the chessboard, and then ran away, leaving Old Man Hua alone sitting in front of the chessboard blowing his beard and staring, cursing something. I have no chess pieces!
Just hearing the old man's curse, Xiao Han not only didn't stop, but ran faster. Xiao Qi, who was chasing behind the fool and was about to pounce, was startled. His eyes widened. He was probably thinking: This is How come people can run faster than dogs?
Xiao Han, who had avoided gambling debts, didn't care about this. He picked up the inexplicable fool and rushed to the study!
Then he pushed back three door bolts one after another until he was sure that the old man wouldn't rush in to collect gambling debts. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, slapped his butt on the chair, and gasped for air.
"Master Hou, please drink water..."
The idiot who had just served Uncle Eagle was not stupid at all. He quickly poured a cup of herbal tea and served it. He thought to himself that if this gentleman is not a good scout, it would be much more uncomfortable than Uncle Eagle. At least Uncle Eagle will not hold grudges, but this gentleman will!
"There's something here, take it out and let me take a look!" Taking the tea cup, Xiao Han drained the tea in one gulp, and then took a few more breaths. Remembering what the idiot said before, he stretched out his palm and asked for something.
When the fool saw this, how could he dare to delay? He quickly handed the bamboo tube over from his arms, and at the same time, he didn't forget to take the empty tea cup and fill it up again.
Xiao Han took the bamboo tube and did not go to drink tea again. He just took off the wax seal and poured out a small piece of tightly rolled paper on the desk.
This bamboo tube is very small, so even though the paper is tightly rolled, after unfolding it, it is still only the size of an adult's palm.
Perhaps in order to write as much content as possible, the front and back sides of the paper are filled with densely packed small characters with fine pen. A glance at it will probably make goosebumps all over the body of those with trypophobia.
Xiao Han held the paper, squinted his eyes, and read the words smaller than ants bit by bit. His tired look gradually became dignified. Even the always ambitious fool felt his change. Become cautious.
A stick of incense passed and Xiao Han finally read the last word of the letter.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly took out the lighter he brought with him, lit the letter, and watched it turn into ashes little by little. When it was almost burnt to his fingers, he threw it into the inkstone and burned it completely to ashes.
"Master Marquis, what's wrong? Something happened to our caravan?"
The fool didn't dare to read the content of the letter, but he couldn't help his curiosity and asked carefully.
"It's okay." Xiao Han rubbed his temples, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the picture of a tiger descending from the mountain on the wall of the study.
It’s finally time!
This ferocious beast of the Tang Dynasty should put away its previous docility and show its might and domineering power, swallowing up thousands of miles like a tiger!
