noon.
Three large ships were sailing down the Yangtze River.
The weather is very good today, the sky is clear and blue, and the sunlight shines down, forming circles of halos in the air, which is very gorgeous.
A huge black eagle came roaring from afar, its eagle eyes unblinking, as if it recognized the three large ships, then it let out a long cry and swooped down.
On the deck at the bow, a masked shadow guard seemed to have responded in advance and let out a long cry.
Suddenly, the black eagle landed on his arm, flapping its wings.
The Shadow Guard skillfully touched Black Hawk's body and took out a small bamboo tube.
It looks like it contains special information.
At this moment, the Shadow Guard gently stroked the Black Hawk's head. The Black Hawk's body slowly changed, and it continued to drill into the Shadow Guard's chest.
In just two breaths, a living black eagle was imprinted on the Shadow Guard's armor like a tattoo.
“Fuck—”
At this moment, Lin Che, who was basking in the sun not far away, caught a glimpse of this scene and couldn't help but blurt out a classic line.
The medical book in my hand suddenly lost its appeal.
"This, this Black Hawk can be... sealed?"
Lin Che couldn't believe this Shadow Guard could possess such extraordinary abilities. This was too much.
Is this a summoning technique? A sealing technique?
It seems that those who are selected into the Shadow Guard are all talented.
The Shadow Guard quickly opened the bamboo tube, took out two rolled envelopes from it, and walked over.
"Marquis Guanjun, a letter from His Majesty."
As he said this, he offered it with both hands.
OK.
His Majesty actually replied.
"Ha, thank you—By the way. What was that move you just made? You were able to retract even a Black Hawk this big. Did you fly it from Tiandu City to here?"
Lin Che took the envelope and asked casually.
The Shadow Guard was obviously not good at socializing, or rather, didn't want to say much, and simply replied:
"Possession!"
Then, he took another letter and quickly returned to the cabin to find Dao Nu.
Possessed? Could this thing fly so far?
Lin Che only knew that Confucianism had a secret method that could be exchanged between two Confucian students with righteous indignation if the distance was not far.
But once the distance is far, it is ineffective.
Unexpectedly, this possessed spirit could actually bring a letter here from Tiandu City.
If it were more powerful, could it even carry people with it?
Although Lin Che felt itchy inside, he couldn't do anything else right now. Instead, the letter in his hand was more attractive.
I don’t know what Your Majesty would write in reply to him?
He didn't hide and started to dismantle it immediately.
When the envelope was opened, the unique handwriting of Empress Jiang Li came into view.
【boring】
[The poem is not bad]
[Misusing the post station to deliver private messages will result in a one-month salary fine.]
Just these few words, that's all.
Lin Che blinked. What was going on? There wasn't even a signature?
When he wrote to Jiang Li, he talked about plum blossoms and wrote poems. Why did she only reply with these few words?
Also, what does it mean to deduct one month’s salary?
Isn’t it just that I sent you a bunch of plum blossoms via the post station?
"If it's a salary deduction, then so be it. I don't mind a month's fine."
"Besides, replying is better than not replying at all. It's a good start."
Lin Che has a very good attitude.
It is not easy to conquer such a high-ranking empress step by step.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lin Che was slightly startled. He also touched the lower left corner of the back of the letter paper and found a slight, barely noticeable wrinkle there.
This meant that Jiang Li had recognized his little secret code and responded in the same way.
Upon discovering this, Lin Che was overjoyed.
It turns out that Her Majesty the Empress also has a little girl side and likes this kind of gadgets.
There shouldn't be much to do on the rest of the journey, so I might as well write more letters to Jiang Li.
This kind of letter cannot be too serious.
Lin Che immediately went back to the cabin to start writing the letter.
It was evening.
The ship finally stopped and the entire delegation began to disembark and travel overland.
These three thousand palace soldiers had been trapped on the boat for so long, and now they were all extremely excited to be able to ride their war horses.
Dao Nu was a little surprised. She looked at the three thousand palace soldiers disembarking and couldn't help but sigh:
"Marquis Guanjun, you truly are a genius at leading troops. It's only been a short while, and your soldiers are so disciplined. Even when they disembarked, they lined up in a strict formation, making no noise at all."
"Hahaha. Maybe they saw that Master Dao Nu was supervising them, so they tried their best to show off."
Lin Che certainly knew the reason. It was because his "Military Soul" skill had reached the intermediate level.
Even if it is not activated, it is definitely several times stronger than before.
Dao Nu naturally didn't believe it and just whispered, "I received news that Lin Pojun has sent 30,000 cavalrymen under the pretext of a defense drill. If we follow the original route, we will encounter them tomorrow..."
"In order to kill me, he really disregarded military discipline? Can't you report it to His Majesty? Report it quickly and take away Lin Pojun's military power." Lin Che quickly made suggestions.
"It's not that simple. A duke only mobilized troops for training and didn't actually attack the delegation. At most, he just issued a few warnings. He's a duke. If he could be moved so easily, all the nobles would be dissatisfied..."
Dao Nu explained briefly.
In the Dagan, no matter how high the official position was, even if it was a first-rank official, as long as he committed a crime, the emperor could order him to be executed and his property would be confiscated.
But the title is different.
This is definitely the safest guarantee. Most of the titles of all kings, princes, generals, and nobles are hereditary.
This is also a true contribution to the royal family, supporting the royal family in everything. Because they know that their family can't become a high official, it doesn't matter for the time being.
But this title can be passed down from generation to generation.
But now, just because the high and mighty Duke had overstepped the boundaries in his training, he was being punished. What would the other nobles think?
If a duke can be killed, then the marquises, earls, and barons can be killed at will?
This is not just a matter of one person, it involves the entire system.
Lin Pojun had been granted the title of Duke for ten years, and he had already made friends with a group of princes and nobles.
"Let's change the route!" Dao Nu suggested.
Lin Che felt a surge of anger. "Changing the route again! We've already chosen to go south to avoid him. We chose to take a boat. And now they're still blocking our way. If we keep changing the route, he'll keep following us. Do you believe it?"
Dao Nu moved his mouth but did not deny it.
"I won't hide anymore. I really want to see if Lin Pojun dares to kill me in Dagan!"
"We'll travel in the first half of the night and rest in the second half—tomorrow we'll take the initiative to confront the renowned Zhenyuan Army!"
