In the end, Yu Tanqi gave the Saker Falcon the name given to it by the male protagonist in the original novel.

Green Eagle.

She couldn't help but laugh when she called out the name.

The original author is really a naming genius.

Green Eagle, Green Cherry.

Seeing the look in Jiang Shi's eyes, she suppressed a smile and said, "I just suddenly felt that this name sounded like a girl's name. I wonder if Qingying is male or female."

In the original work, the young eagle happens to be a female eagle, because female eagles are more majestic and stronger than male eagles.

Jiang Shi said, "Maybe it happens to be a female eagle."

"Yeah." Yu Tanqi covered her lips and laughed so hard that her shoulders trembled.

Jiang Shi looked at her and pursed his lips slightly.

His intuition told him that she couldn't help laughing not just because Qingying sounded like a girl's name.

It was very strange. She was clearly standing in front of him, but he always felt that there was an invisible barrier between them.

Like a thin mist that is difficult to dispel.

He thought he understood her better than anyone else, but in reality there was still a thin but difficult-to-dissipate mist between them.

He didn't like this feeling.

But she didn't say it, and he didn't feel comfortable asking.

The young man lowered his eyes, his long crow-feather eyelashes covering his ink-black pupils, and he looked a little lonely.

Yu Tanqi accidentally caught sight of Jiang Shi's expression, and his heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously explained, "I couldn't help laughing because it suddenly occurred to me that I once read a storybook in which the heroine's maiden name was Qingying. Qing means blue, and Ying means cherry blossom."

Jiang Shi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and the loneliness and gloom on his fair face disappeared.

"I see." He said softly, "That storybook must be very interesting, otherwise Tan Qi wouldn't be laughing so happily."

Seeing him smile, Yu Tanqi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Yeah, that's quite interesting."

But she decided not to say why it was interesting, because she couldn't explain it clearly.

In short, the name of Saker Falcon was happily determined.

Jiang Shi wrote another letter to Yuwen Xiao, politely asking him if he could send him another Saker Falcon. In return, he could promise him three things within his ability.

It's things, not conditions.

Compared to conditions, things that are within your ability are naturally easier to do.

Seeing Jiang Shi quibbling over words, Yuwen Xiao's mouth twitched.

"A Saker Falcon isn't a dog that can be found anywhere. This one Saker Falcon alone has cost me a fortune. Where can I find him another one?"

Yuwen Xiao couldn't help but complain, knowing that Jiang Shi must have wanted to give a Saker Falcon to his fiancée, and perhaps the Saker Falcon he gave him had already been given to his fiancée.

"Tsk, Prince Jiang is such a good man who dotes on his fiancée."

Yuwen Xiao wrote back to Jiang Shi.

There is no Saker Falcon for the time being, but if Jiang Shi agrees to help him, he promises to give him another Saker Falcon after the task is completed.

After receiving the letter, Jiang Shi thought about it for a while and finally agreed to talk with Yuwen Xiao alone.

It was already mid-June at this time, and Yuwen Xian had been "seriously ill" for more than a month. His guards had already written a letter to report to the Emperor of Tianqi, but Yuwen Xiao had someone secretly intercept the letter, so that the news of Yuwen Xian's insanity was not allowed to reach Tianqi.

When talking to Jiang Shi alone, Yuwen Xiao told him the news.

Yuwen Xiao said, "I know that because Yuwen Xian tried to hurt Miss Yu, Prince Jiang wants Yuwen Xian dead. I can help."

Jiang Shi chuckled: "Second Prince seems to have said it the other way around. Shouldn't it be you who wanted Yu Wenxian to die, and I just happened to help you?"

Even when the young man in green was sitting, his back was still straight, and his fair and handsome face had a faint smile, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

Without Yu Tanqi by his side, Jiang Shi is gentle yet indifferent and distant. He seems approachable, but in fact he is intimidating.

Yuwen Xiao also smiled: "As expected of you, you are the Crown Prince Jiang. I believe I have no secrets from you. In that case, I will speak frankly. I hope that you can lend me a hand and help me kill Yu Wenxian so that no one will suspect me."

His eyes flickered. "As a reward, if I succeed in ascending to that position, I will sign a treaty of peaceful coexistence with Wan Jin. What do you think, Prince Jiang?"

It goes without saying what that position is.

The second prince of Tianqi, who is unremarkable in the eyes of outsiders, seems to have no ambition to compete for the throne. However, if you are born in the royal family, you will die if you don't fight, so Yuwen Xiao has to fight.

Mediocrity and incompetence are just a protective color for him.

Jiang Shi looked at Yuwen Xiao, "How can I believe you? Words are not enough."

Yuwen Xiao said, "The Saker Falcon I gave you is a token of my love. I believe that Prince Jiang should have heard of its preciousness."

"You gave me the Saker Falcon as a gift. I'm not entirely sure I can tame it the way you did."

"Don't worry, Prince Jiang. I can have my personal guard personally teach you how to tame a Saker Falcon. It will take three months for a Saker Falcon to recognize its master. By then, you'll see that it will only recognize one master and will never listen to me again."

"You probably can't stay in Wanjin for three months."

"No, but with Prince Jiang's intelligence, I think he will be able to master the method of taming the Saker Falcon in less than a month."

"Then wait until I learn, and we'll talk about it again."

“…”

Yuwen Xiao had no choice. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

It's because he has no status in Tianqi Kingdom, otherwise he would not think of cooperating with people from the enemy country.

There is also a gambling element in his play.

But when he brought Lin Xiangru into the Wu'an Marquis Mansion again, as expected, he saw a pretty girl in green standing next to Jiang Shi.

As expected, Jiang Shi gave the Saker Falcon to Yu Tanqi.

I really am willing to do that.

Although he had expected it, Yuwen Xiao still felt distressed again.

A tamed Saker Falcon is more valuable than three warriors with great martial arts skills.

Jiang Shi gave it to his fiancée just like that.

In his eyes, is the safety of his fiancée more important than his own safety?

Yuwen Xiao doesn't understand this kind of feeling, nor does he need to have this kind of feeling.

How can a person who achieves great things have feelings for his children?

He began to regret his choice.

Can Jiang Shi really help him?

One day in mid-June, a fire broke out in the palace of the confined Fourth Princess Gao Xianyue. It burned for a whole day before being extinguished. Gao Xianyue was not rescued, but her body was burnt beyond recognition.

Everyone said that Gao Xianyue was dead because there were exactly the right number of corpses found in the palace, and the corpses were dressed in exactly the same way Gao Xianyue usually dressed.

When Jiang Shi got the news, he frowned slightly, "That may not be Gao Xianyue's body. She should not have escaped from the palace yet. Send people to capture her. If she is dead, we must see her alive or dead."

Jiang Shi's eyes were dark and deep, his expression was indifferent, without his usual gentleness.

How could he let someone who dared to try to harm his fiancée and commit treason get away so easily?
