Chapter 325 Bai Xiaomen
Facing Jiang Tangtang's coquettish behavior, Lu Shiyan had no choice but to sit back down obediently. "Let's take a carriage when we return to Cangwu, so we don't get uncomfortable again."
That won't work.
Riding an eagle is much more interesting than riding in a carriage.
Jiang Tangtang suddenly felt that pretending to be sick was a bad idea.
She blinked and said, "That's not necessary. When we go back, I'll ask Gugu to fly lower."
Speaking of the golden eagle again, Jiang Tangtang finally realized what she had forgotten.
She suddenly sat up from Lu Shiyan's arms and said in surprise, "Oh no, I forgot Gugu outside."
"Don't worry, it's so powerful, it won't be dangerous outside."
"No, I have to go check it out." Jiang Tangtang said as she was about to leave the space. Lu Shiyan reminded her to change her clothes.
Looking at the wrinkled clothes, Jiang Tangtang glared at him unhappily. It was all his fault for touching her.
Lu Shiyan touched his nose innocently.
Jiang Tangtang went to the closet to look for clothes and casually asked him, "Do you want to go out with me?"
Lu Shiyan said: "Get out!"
There are still a few official tasks that have not been completed. In addition, since it has been decided to harvest the rice early, the official documents should be sent out as soon as possible.
"Then you go out first, I'll change my clothes." Jiang Tangtang threw Lu Shiyan out of the space without any hesitation, then took the disc to the book bar on the top floor, picked up a disc at random, and replaced the discs inside.
In fact, in addition to his parents' collection of books, the book bar also has many old discs. However, these discs have not been watched for many years, and he just couldn't bear to throw them away because he thought they had commemorative significance.
Jiang Tangtang was worried about whether the golden eagle would cause trouble, so she didn't have time to watch it any longer. After changing the disc, she hurried out of the space.
In fact, the golden eagle that she had forgotten did cause quite a stir outside.
After Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan entered the space, the golden eagle began to wander around the city bored.
This place was unlike the world it had lived in before. There was not a single trace of spiritual energy here. Not only was there no spiritual energy, but there was also turbid air everywhere.
Being surrounded by such turbid energy, one cannot practice cultivation at all.
The golden eagle didn't like it very much.
It's also boring.
Sometimes it spreads its wings and flies high, and sometimes it stops to feel the breath in the space and see if its owner has come out of the space.
It was big and golden, and it quickly attracted people's attention.
"What kind of bird is this? Why is it so big?"
"It must be a divine bird."
"Its feathers are so beautiful, like gold."
…
Listening to the people's praise, the golden eagle proudly raised its neck. No matter where it is, it is a unique and beautiful bird.
But soon, discordant voices began to emerge amid the praise.
When a few men saw the huge size of the golden eagle, they discussed how to catch it and eat it.
This made the golden eagle very angry.
Foolish human, actually wanted to eat it. He immediately flew over without any hesitation, flapping his wings.
It is fast, agile and ferocious.
It only took a few seconds to knock the man over.
By the time people reacted, the golden eagle had already knocked two people unconscious with one wing. The other man was grabbed by its claws and lifted into the air.
In the night sky, there were shrill screams.
"Help! Help! The strange bird is killing people."
…
Jiang Tangtang heard the scream as soon as she came out of the space. She became anxious and summoned Lili to go find the golden eagle. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the golden eagle had caught the man and returned to the government office.
Jiang Tangtang now has a telepathic connection with the golden eagle. Just by looking at the golden eagle, she knows why it hurts people.
Although Gugu who wanted to eat her deserved to be beaten, according to the law, they were at most guilty of attempted crime. Jiang Tangtang felt that if people knew that the golden eagle killed someone for this, it would be bad for the golden eagle's reputation.
Just as I was thinking about how to deal with it, I heard Lu Shiyan say, "There's something wrong with this person's identity."
Jiang Tangtang blinked.
Lu Shiyan called over a few guards and said, "This man is a Xirong spy. Arrest him and interrogate him. Also, send someone to investigate his accomplices."
The guards' eyes suddenly turned into awe when they looked at the golden eagle.
It is truly worthy of being the Madam’s divine bird, as it was able to catch the Western Rong spy in one go.
As soon as the news spread, those who were frightened by the golden eagle's ferocity began to praise the golden eagle.
When they were alone, Jiang Tangtang asked quietly, "Is there really something wrong with that person's identity?"
Lu Shiyan looked at her with a smile, "What do you think?"
Jiang Tangtang asked, "Isn't it for Gugu's reputation?"
"No need." Lu Shiyan explained: "That man has a tattoo on his chest, and that tattoo is the unique symbol of Bai Xiaomen.
Bai Xiao Men is a special underworld organization in Xirong, specializing in collecting all kinds of intelligence. What they do most is to go to Da Zhou to gather intelligence and then send it back to Xirong.
In order to attack Bai Xiaomen, he once went to Xirong to investigate for several months in secret. Before he could destroy it, something happened to the Lu family.
Jiang Tangtang laughed and said, "Gugu, this can be considered a lucky coincidence."
"Go and rest first. I can't accompany you tonight."
Lu Shiyan was a little reluctant, but still said: "I will send you back to Cangwu tomorrow."
"Go and do your thing! I don't need you to send me off. Gugu is good at giving me a ride." Jiang Tangtang leaned forward to show him herself, "Look, I'm fine now."
Lu Shiyan pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her restrainedly, then released her and said, "Well, I checked it out, and it's all good."
Jiang Tangtang: “…”
Who checks like this?
She returned to her space and took out the steamed fish to make fermented fish. After it was done, she kept a small jar for herself and packed the rest, intending to give it to Lu Shiyan.
Thinking of the bruise under his eye, I felt a little distressed.
With the Xirong spies captured tonight, I don't know when I can finally get some sleep. I'm afraid this happens often when she's not around.
Although I didn't sleep much, the space was full of spiritual energy. One hour of sleep inside was equivalent to two or three hours outside.
Since she wasn't around, there was no way for him to rest in the space. But she could prepare some more spiritual food for him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Tangtang took the basket and went to the orchard again.
She didn't pick strawberries and grapes, but picked some fruits like tangerines and peaches.
After picking several baskets of various fruits, Jiang Tangtang went to catch several more. After washing the crabs, he poured salt, soy sauce, vinegar, fruit wine, onions, ginger, garlic, and other spices into the marinade. Like the fermented fish, he sealed them in a clay pot.
After all the fruits and snacks were prepared, Jiang Tangtang lay back on the soft big bed.
When I woke up, it was already four in the morning.
Jiang Tangtang washed up and left the space.
Sure enough, Lu Shiyan was still busy under the oil lamp.
Jiang Tangtang saw that he was so focused that he didn't notice her at all, so she didn't bother him. She just quietly went back to her space and cooked a bowl of egg noodles and put it on his table.
Smelling the unique aroma of food, Lu Shiyan came back to his senses from his official duties and looked at Jiang Tangtang and said, "Are you awake?"
"Do you know what time it is?" Jiang Tangtang said with a hint of blame in her tone, "Eat and go to bed."
Lu Shiyan put down his pen and pushed the documents aside. He straightened his sleeves and said, "I'm feeling a little hungry. Thank you, my lady." He picked up a handful of noodles and came over to feed Jiang Tangtang first.
Jiang Tangtang shook her head and said, "I just woke up and don't have much appetite. I can't eat now. You can eat by yourself."
As she spoke, she grabbed the document on the table and looked at it.
"Are you ready to send troops?"
Lu Shiyan nodded. "The spy Gugu caught has confessed. What other identity do you think Qi Hongshen has?"
Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes, "Is Bai Xiaomen related to him?"
Lu Shiyan nodded, "He is the young master of Bai Xiaomen."
Jiang Tangtang asked, "Did he establish Bai Xiao Men?"
Lu Shiyan swallowed the noodles in his mouth and said, "To be precise, it was founded by the old emperor of Xirong who recruited a group of people from the underworld. Xirong has long coveted the Great Zhou."
"Besides them, are there any other people from Bai Xiaomen in Lingnan?" Jiang Tangtang asked.
"There are others, especially concubines from aristocratic families."
Lu Shiyan said: "The Bai Xiao Sect has many ways to gather information, but the one they are best at is to gather beautiful women from all over the place and send them to the sect, training them from a young age, and then using various means to send them to the beds of noble families and officials, so as to gather more confidential information.
What is most detestable is that many of these women are from poor families in the Great Zhou. Some were sold by their families, while others were abducted.
Jiang Tangtang didn't feel angry when she heard that the Western Rong coveted the Great Zhou, but now she is really angry.
"Are we going to attack Xirong all at once?" She wanted to destroy Xirong. It was abominable that the emperor had created such a sect and did not treat women as human beings at all.
But thinking of the plague, she added, "I'm afraid there's a plague in Xirong right now."
Qi Hongshen wanted the refugees from Xirong to spread the plague to Lingnan, but those who wanted to use the plague to start a war and gain an advantage would eventually suffer the consequences.
Lu Shiyan said, "For the time being, we won't attack the Western Rong. But we must first seize the Western Rong and take them back to the capital, and drive out all the Western Rong soldiers."
As for attacking the Western Rong, we need to wait and see. It is only a matter of time.
Although he didn't say the rest of the words, Jiang Tangtang could see his thoughts from his eyes.
She felt full of energy and stood up and said, "I'll go prepare medicine and food for the soldiers."
"Thank you for your hard work!" Lu Shiyan knew that all the medicinal herbs and food supplies were inseparable from her hard work.
He was silent for a while, then suddenly had an idea, "From now on, ask Gugu to pick me up at night, and let me do all the work in the fields."
Jiang Tangtang thought about it and thought his idea was a good one. Gugu flew fast anyway, and with her watching over him, he could rest every day.
She tilted her head and looked at him, "Will you listen to me from now on? If you listen to me, I promise you."
Lu Shiyan said helplessly: "Didn't I listen to you before?"
"Okay, from now on I'll let Gugu pick you up to help me with work. Now go to sleep."
Seeing that he had finished his noodles, Jiang Tangtang went over to hold his hand and was about to send him into the space when suddenly a carrier pigeon squeezed in through the window.
