Jiang Yimian and her companion looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-tailed eagle flying towards them.
The white-tailed eagle circled in the air for a long time, frightening the surrounding birds so much that they trembled and hid in the forest, not daring to show their faces.
Seeing that there were no more birds in the sky, it swooped down and landed steadily in Lu Cijian's hand.
The white-tailed eagle, which was significantly larger than before, now perched obediently on Lu Cijian's hand, a far cry from the imposing figure that had previously circled overhead and scared away a flock of birds.
Jiang Yimian found it amusing, reached out and rubbed the white-tailed eagle before carefully pulling the letter from the letterbox.
Lu Cijian also came over, and after seeing the contents of the letter, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "Being a Khan really makes a difference; you're much more well-informed now."
Even Mo Ge is unaware of this news, which is currently located in the middle of the ocean, and it's unclear how Aguzan found out.
Jiang Yimian ignored the teasing around her and asked curiously, "What is Xiliang planning to do? It's really strange that they intend to secretly receive goods from the sea at this time."
The people of Xiliang should already know about the Tuyuhun affair.
She had originally thought that those people were probably plotting how to deal with Tuyuhun, but to her surprise, there had been no movement from Xiliang for the past month, and it was unusually quiet.
Even the Xiliang people who were originally hiding in Tuyuhun did not make any move.
She had assumed that Xiliang was still recovering from the disruption of their plans in Weizhou, but she never expected to receive such an unbelievable message.
Lu Cijian stared at the contents of the letter for a while before saying, "In short, it won't be anything good. The letter says that the ship might pass by somewhere in the sea near Weizhou."
"In that case, let's go take a look."
Jiang Yimian nodded and said nothing more.
But he was extremely curious about what it was that would make the people of Xiliang take such a great risk, risking being discovered by the Weizhou sea patrol team, just to secretly transport it to Xiliang.
Judging by the time, those ships should be arriving soon.

At this moment, in the middle of the sea, two cargo ships were floating on the surface, slowly heading towards their destination.
The people on the boat did not look well; they were pale and listless, clearly suffering from seasickness due to prolonged exposure to the elements and lack of fresh food.
A young man was standing on the deck, vomiting violently as he leaned over the side of the ship.
Seeing this, the young woman beside him said worriedly, "Husband, are you alright? We don't know how much longer we'll be at sea. Is your old customer some kind of swindler?"
Zhou Yiwen simply waved his hand, took the tea handed to him by the servant, rinsed his mouth, and said, "No, no, that old customer has been doing business with us for a long time. He has a very good reputation and is a good person. He wouldn't cheat us."
However, this is the first time we've ordered so many goods, and it's strange that you insist on bringing me along.
"Forget it, let's not think about it too much. Anyway, we're already here, and we're probably almost at our destination. That person said they would send someone to pick us up."
As they were talking, they saw flashes of red light in the distance. Soon, those lights gathered together and formed a line, moving up and down rhythmically.
Zhou Yiwen said excitedly, "Wife, we're here, that's it! Quick, tell them to hurry over there."
Seeing this, Shen Sui quickly ordered his servants to pull the sails, hoping to take advantage of the sea breeze to reach their destination as soon as possible.
On the dark, deserted island, Lin Yan'an held up a torch and muttered to the people beside him, "Will those people really come? What if the Xiliang people have already joined up with them? Wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to ambush them here?"
He didn't think Aguzan's news was very reliable. That guy was capable of kidnapping Jiang Meimei, so he didn't seem trustworthy.
Wang San glanced at him and said irritably, "Shut up."
Lin Yan'an felt a little aggrieved and was about to complain to Liu'er when he heard Jiang Yimian's voice, "A boat has docked."
Lu Cijian then gestured for Wang San to go and check on the situation of those people.
However, before Wang San and his companions could emerge from the woods, a man's voice suddenly came from a boat with lanterns hanging not far away, "Young Master Xie, is that you? I am Zhou Yiwen. The goods have been delivered, please come out quickly!"
A young man was standing in Class A at that moment. Because of the strong wind, he was holding tightly to his cloak, covering himself up completely, with only his big eyes showing. He was looking curiously at the island, jumping around, and seemed quite excited.
If it weren't for the railing, that person might have fallen right off the boat.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.
Isn't this person incredibly audacious?
Putting aside the potential dangers on the island, they dared to approach the shore just by seeing that string of firelight, and even shouted so openly towards the deserted island, showing no fear of being ambushed.
She was somewhat dazed, unsure whether the person was doing this on purpose to lower their guard, or if they were truly that naive.
She hadn't seen such an unguarded person in a long time.
But the people on deck weren't going to shut up yet, still shouting, "Young Master Xie, I saw the signal, come out quickly!"
Lu Cijian remained silent for a long time before tentatively saying to the people on the deck, "I want to inspect the goods first."
Zhou Yiwen suddenly realized what was going on and quickly said, "Oh, okay, wife, quickly have Xiao Yun and the others carry a box of goods downstairs."
Shen Sui hesitated for a moment, staring at the dark island for a long time before saying, "Young Master Xie, what is the meaning of this?"
Since we agreed to meet, isn't it a bit disingenuous of you not to even show your face?
This person is really strange. He inexplicably wanted to see them, but now that they are face to face, he is unwilling to show himself. His evasive behavior makes him seem insincere.
Upon hearing this, Lu Cijian and Jiang Yimian walked straight out of the darkness, stopping only when they were still ten meters away from the boat.
Zhou Yiwen glanced at the two of them curiously for a few moments before staring at Lu Cijian with dissatisfaction and saying, "Why did you insist on having my wife and I come together this time?"
"Wasn't it just a matter of sending goods directly to those old locations before?"
He felt terrible that they had been adrift on the boat for so long.
Lu Cijian simply said, "There were some problems in those places."
Zhou Yiwen nodded in understanding and pointed to the ship behind him, saying, "The cargo you requested is all on that ship, a full one hundred tons. This is my latest gunpowder, with a power far greater than before."
"You'll be able to dig even deeper into your mine."
Lu Cijian frowned. "Gunpowder?"
