Chapter 453 "Come on, sweetie, eat up."
(Thanks to "How About I Also Choose a Name" for casting two monthly votes.)
Everyone present stared wide-eyed at the golden eagle that was now gripping Li Shiyue's left arm with its claws.
Although there were few lights on the racetrack, everyone could see the golden eagle's sharp beak and hear its rough and deep call in the dim light.
"General, do not come any closer!"
Although Xiao Jin acknowledges me as her master, she still harbors considerable hostility towards others.
Liu Tan had no choice but to retract his foot, which he had just stepped out with. That was a golden eagle! A bird of prey!
So big one!
As the golden eagle's claws moved, the clothes on Li Shiyue's left arm were immediately torn to shreds, demonstrating the sharpness of those claws!
Li Shiyue grabbed a piece of fresh meat from the tray held up by Ma San. It was from a chicken that the farm's kitchen had just killed after she told Liu Tan about it.
"Come on, sweetie, eat up."
Li Shiyue spoke to the golden eagle, then with a flick of her right hand, she tossed the piece of fresh meat into the air.
Liu Tan and the others saw the golden eagle suddenly dart into the air from Li Shiyue's arm. Even though they couldn't see the golden eagle accurately snatch the piece of fresh meat, they still saw it land back on Li Shiyue's arm with the meat in its paws.
"Eat."
After Li Shiyue gave the command, the golden eagle moved and ate the piece of fresh meat.
After feeding him several times, Li Shiyue said to Liu Tan, "General, I'll let Xiao Jin go back to sleep. Let's go back inside and continue our conversation."
Under the astonished gazes of Liu Tan and the others, Li Shiyue reached out her right hand to touch the golden eagle's head feathers, then raised her left arm and said, "Go on, my darling."
Then the golden eagle cried out and spread its wings to fly into the night sky.
But after a short while, they couldn't see anything at all.
This golden eagle is certainly not a real biological golden eagle. It is a mechanical creation that Li Shiyue customized from Zhang Lanlan through the trading system's connection to the Future Technology World.
It simply exists in the form of a golden eagle.
Of course, this mechanical golden eagle did indeed recognize Li Shiyue as its master. If Li Shiyue hadn't come into contact with it, anyone else who tried to touch it would have only been attacked by the golden eagle.
As for Li Shiyue feeding the golden eagle meat, it was because Zhang Lanlan, the mechanic, had already set up a special channel for processing food from its head to its tail.
When no one is around, the golden eagle will excrete the fresh meat that Li Shiyue fed it by itself, and the mechanical little red horse does the same.
Like the little red horse, the golden eagle was specifically requested by Li Shiyue to use solar energy as its energy source.
They don't need to eat to maintain their energy.
After all, in this ancient world, sunlight was something that was free and readily available.
In short, Li Shiyue put on a big show in front of Liu Tan and the others.
Contented, she followed Liu Tan and General Liu and General Ma back into the house.
At this moment, Ma San came to Li Shiyue's side and asked her with a surprised look, "Hey, Shiyue, that's not very kind of you!"
Where did you get such a huge golden eagle?
It has even recognized a master!
"Fine, you're good."
Li Shiyue knew that although Ma San spoke to her with an admiring and envious tone;
But in fact, based on Ma San's words, it can be basically concluded that Liu Tan sent Ma San to inquire, or rather, to trick her into revealing information.
"Look at what you're saying, Third Brother. Where am I supposed to get that?"
I caught them myself!
That's a golden eagle! If I didn't catch it myself, how could I have raised it from a chick?
"Hey, October, tell me properly, where did you catch it? How did you catch it?"
Do you think Third Brother can go and catch him?
"Why don't you teach Third Brother?"
As they were talking, they reached the door. Li Shiyue looked up at Ma San and grinned, but didn't respond to Ma San's words. She turned and went inside.
Standing before the map again, Li Shiyue's face was no longer smiling as it had when she was facing Ma San. With a solemn expression, she cupped her hands in greeting to Liu Tan, who had sat down again at the head of the table.
"General, I found this golden eagle last year when I was on leave and led the village children here to ride horses."
The golden eagle was injured at the time, whether by another golden eagle or by itself while hunting, it was unclear, but it was unable to fly.
I mustered up my courage and took it home. I haphazardly applied some wound medicine to the wound on its wing, bandaged it up, and kept it at home for a while.
When I'm not home, my older brother feeds it.
I've only fed them two or three times in total.
Once it recovered from its injuries, it flew away directly from my house.
Later, when I returned, to my surprise, the golden eagle brought us a wild rabbit right to our doorstep.
So I thought that since golden eagles are intelligent and human-like, it would be interesting to keep them as pets, and that's how I started keeping them.
"After raising it for a while, hehe, General, it's become so attached to its master."
Li Shiyue made up a lie, not caring whether Liu Tan and the others believed it or not. Anyway, she really did "find" the golden eagle and it was true that the golden eagle's wing was injured at the time.
She really did have Stone help feed it for a few days, and the golden eagle really did fly away later, and then really brought a wild rabbit to the Li family's door during her day off.
No matter what investigation Liu Tan conducts afterward, everything Li Shiyue said is a fact that actually happened.
Liu Tan had no choice but to believe it, even if he wanted to.
“General, with Xiao Jin, we can still take this route,” Li Shiyue pointed to the route Zhou Yiran had indicated earlier.
"As long as we let Xiao Jin patrol and warn from the sky, we can immediately change course once we discover the Khan's troops."
In this way, we can reach the Turkic royal court in the shortest possible time, while avoiding being discovered by the Khan's troops along the way, which is advantageous for our future surprise attack.
Even though Liu Tan still had some doubts about Li Shiyue having a golden eagle that had recognized her as its master, the most important thing now was to complete the "internal and external cooperation" proposed by Xie Mingyue and She'er before the snow fell, and enter the Turkic territory to fight!
"In October, are you sure your golden eagle can really help us patrol and warn?"
"General, I can swear a military oath!"
"good!"
Next, everyone began to discuss how many troops to bring, how to disperse them into groups, how to join forces with the Youzhou army and She'er, and how to fight a battle to expand their own gains!
"How much of Xie Mingyue's words can we believe?"
Xie Mingyue, whom Liu Tan mentioned, is currently with She'er.
Standing at the entrance of the tent, Xie Mingyue looked at the moon in the sky and felt the wind blowing across the grassland. In her heart, she wondered if the letter she had finally managed to send through Yelü Jiujin had reached Li Shiyue's hands.
"what's on your mind?"
Xie Mingyue's thoughts were interrupted by She'er's words. After a moment of surprise, Xie Mingyue turned her head to look at She'er, then looked up at the sky again.
"Your Highness, what I'm thinking right now is not important. What's important is, what is His Majesty the Khan thinking?"
