Chapter 516: Strength without Desire

"Huh?"

Nan Yan looked at the pigeon fluttering in the snow in surprise and looked around curiously.

Where did the pigeon come from?

In this weather, there are still pigeons flying around?

She hurried over and caught the pigeon, and helped it brush off the snow on its wings. The gray pigeon flapped twice in her palm, then calmed down and made a cooing sound.

It's a well-raised pigeon.

Nan Yan stroked it twice and immediately discovered that the pigeon was wearing an exquisite gold-plated anklet with something on it.

It's a messenger pigeon.

She took off the thing on the anklet out of curiosity. It was a small piece of paper. When she unfolded it, her eyes widened in surprise.

There were only four words written on the note——

Those who have no desires are strong.

However, these four words are written backwards.

What's the meaning?

On such a snowy day, a pigeon was sent to deliver a message, but the message it delivered was these four seemingly ordinary words.

Moreover, it is written backwards.

That's so weird.

Nan Yan frowned and carried the pigeon into the room. The pigeon was very docile and cooed in her hands. Nan Yan grabbed something to eat for it, and it pecked at the rice quietly on the table.

Nan Yan turned around and looked at the note again.

Was this message delivered by someone in the city?

However, although the city of Beiping is big, it is not necessary to use pigeons to transmit messages within the city, right?

If it came from outside the city——

Thinking of this, Nan Yan suddenly took a deep breath.

You know, if it came from somewhere else, it would be fine, but if it came from the north, the north of Beiping City is already the territory of the Neng Kingdom.

Could this be some news conveyed by the people of the Dian Kingdom?

Now, the two countries are at war. Could this be a spy passing on information?

However, there were only four simple yet strange words on this piece of paper, and no other clues.

And this pigeon couldn't tell me where it came from or which force it belonged to.

When Nan Yan was feeling worried, she suddenly saw the delicate anklet on the pigeon's foot.

"ah!"

She suddenly let out a quick, low cry and hurriedly picked up the pigeon. The pigeon fluttered twice in her arms and cooed non-stop. Nan Yan turned and walked to the other side of the room and took out a book from the bed.

It was the local history book of the Kingdom of Dian that Zhu Feng tricked her into bringing back yesterday.

After I found out that he had cheated me yesterday, I was so angry that I kept holding the book and forgot to put it back. I brought it back to the room and then threw it on the bed and ignored it.

At this time, she was holding the pigeon in one hand and flipping through the pages of the book quickly with the other.

It records some of the customs and habits of the State of Neng, including the land and weather.

And clothing, architecture.

Turning to the end, there are some records about the items used by the royal family of the Neng State.

She held her breath nervously and flipped through the pages one by one until she finally turned to a page.

There are some patterns painted on it, which are things that can be carved and engraved only on items used by the royal family within the country of Dian.

One of them is——

While watching, Nan Yan grabbed the pigeon's feet and slowly moved the ankle ring closer for comparison.

Exactly the same!

The pattern on the pigeon's leg ring is a pattern that can only be used by the royal family of the Neng Kingdom.

In other words, this pigeon was released by someone from the Kingdom of Dian, or even by a member of the royal family of Dian!

And the message above -
