Chapter 411 Connivance (one more)
Zhou Gu saw that Su Rong also agreed with his conjecture, so naturally he had no objection to her arrangement.
Immediately, he wrote a letter to the prince, while Su Rong sent a letter to Su Che.
Feng Ling brought two flying eagles, and Zhou Gu looked at them with novelty, "You even kept flying eagles? I've only heard of these things, but I've never seen anyone use them. Are they reliable?"
"Reliable, specially trained, trained for three years, tried countless times, never failed." Su Rong said.
Zhou Gu Wenyan was relieved. He rolled up the letter, imitated Su Rong, tied it to the leg of one of the flying eagles, and then patted its head, "Move quickly, do you hear me? Don't delay the matter, it's up to you."
After he finished speaking, he asked Su Rong again, "Do they have names?"
"This one is called Baiyu, this one is called Moyu. There are two more called Greentail and Dianqi." Su Rong answered him.
Zhou Gu nodded and watched Su Rong release two eagles. These two big birds soared into the sky in a blink of an eye, without a trace, very fast. He thought that if he drew a bow and set an arrow, with the speed of these two birds just now, no matter how good his archery skills were, he might not be able to catch them.
Looking at it this way, it's really amazing.
He whispered to Su Rong very excitedly, "Give me one, okay?"
Su Rong turned her head to look at him.
Zhou Gu said to her in a softer voice: "You promised me earlier that you would communicate with me by letter, but you also know that the post station is too slow to send letters. You flying eagle... I see it very well, it must be very fast."
Su Rong reminded him, "The broken bird you brought down from Phoenix Mountain, you left Jiangning County and threw it to me later. Do you have the patience to raise birds?"
Zhou Gu immediately said: "That's different, that's a pet bird, and this one is a letter bird."
He thought of Cui Yu. At the time Su Rong didn’t care for her. He looked cute and insisted on taking her down the mountain. Later, he did throw it to her when he left. He felt a little guilty, "Where is Cui Yu? Did you send it back to Phoenix Mountain?"
Su Rong shook his head, "It's used to eating pastries, it's well-clothed and well-fed, it won't go back, it won't leave."
Zhou Gu felt even more guilty, "But you came to Beijing without bringing it with you."
"Before I came to Beijing, I left it with Yuewan. Later, when Mother Zhao and Yuewan came to Beijing, I troubled Uncle Xie to take care of them."
Zhou Gu covered his lips and coughed lowly, his eyes wandered, "Well, can you give me one?"
Su Rong looked at him, "You are welcome, it will take several years to train a special flying eagle that can be used to deliver letters."
Zhou Gu stopped talking.
Su Rong looked at him a little funny, "Okay, let me give you one, you take good care of it."
Zhou Gu saw her agree, his eyes lit up, "Okay."
Feng Ling squatted in front of the stove and picked up the charcoal, listening to the two people coming and going, Zhou Gu was about to leave a flying eagle in a few words, he almost screamed in his heart, and wanted to stand up and ask Su Rong, is there any bottom line for Zhou Gu? This is too conniving. What do you really want? The specially trained flying eagles are simply priceless treasures. They have trained a total of more than a dozen of them. After several years of training, only four of them have been trained spiritually. They are not enough for themselves. As soon as Zhou Gu opened his mouth, she didn't use it. No matter how difficult it was, she gave away one without asking his opinion.
He is really angry.
Zhou Gu seemed to sense Feng Ling's resentment, and turned to look at Feng Ling, "This flying eagle was trained by Mr. Feng? If Mr. Feng has any objections, I don't want it."
Feng Ling: "..."
Even if he has an opinion, dare to say no?
Zhou Gu smiled suddenly, "Thank you, Mr. Feng."
"Just call me Feng Ling." Feng Ling put down the stove hook that was pulling the fire, washed her hands, and sat down at the table.
Zhou Gu is as good as others, "Feng Ling."
Feng Ling sat down next to Zhou Gu, "Fourth Young Master, it's not easy to raise an eagle, but with your intelligence, you will be able to raise it well. I will teach you how to raise an eagle later."
Zhou Gu thanked, "Okay."
The people in the kitchen brought breakfast, steamed buns, rice porridge, cooking cakes, custard, soup, etc., all kinds, and the table was full.
Zhou Advisor Su Rong, "How long can Feiying arrive in the capital?"
"A distance of thousands of miles can be reached in one day, and it will be slower when it is snowing." Su Rong glanced out the window, "If it is the slowest, you can reach the capital early in the morning. It will take more effort to find your third brother, but it will take three days at most."
Consultant Zhou: "To be on the safe side, should I send someone to deliver two more letters? Although it is slower, it is double insurance and more reliable."
"It's fine, after all, the matter is too big." Su Rong nodded, "Send someone to deliver two letters after dinner!"
So, after breakfast, he wrote two more letters and sent them to the capital and Zhou Che, who was going to transfer troops to the north of Hebei.
Ning Chi gave Zhou Gu enough time to meet and chat privately with Su Rong, and when he felt that it was about the same, he came to Su Rong's yard.
When he came, Zhou Gu and Su Rong were studying the topographic map of the mountain range from northern Hebei to Nanping.
Seeing him coming, Su Rong greeted him, and Zhou Gu said to Ning Chi, "The ten thousand soldiers you gave me is not enough, I will come to you to borrow the other twenty thousand soldiers and horses."
Ning Chi was stunned, "Very tricky? Will we use 30,000 troops to deal with the Eighteen Villages?"
He thought 10,000 soldiers and horses were enough.
Zhou Gu shook his head, briefly said that he was going to Shibazhai, and guessed that Zhang Mao came, and now he is in Shibazhai, and he came prepared. After hearing this, Ning Chi immediately corrected his expression.
Although Zhou Gu's speculation is based on Chen Qi's change of attitude, it is not impossible. If the guess is correct, then Nanping is indeed in danger.
"With Zhang Ping's ambition, he has been planning for more than ten years. If Nanping joins the crown prince, he will take over the Eighteen Villages..." Su Rong paused at this point, and looked at Zhou Gu, "Take the flag from Young Master Zhou from Huguo Gong's Mansion, and take the Nanping Hou's mansion by the way, and directly reverse it. Unexpectedly, attacking him unprepared, the consequences will be disastrous."
Zhou Gu puffed his cheeks and snorted, "I still want to sacrifice Zhang Mao to heaven."
Su Rongxiao said, "This is fine."
She looked at Ning Chi, "Ning Shizi, you give him the other 20,000 soldiers and horses, let him take away now, go clean up the eighteen villages, and capture Zhang Mao by the way. Don't really wait for the Northern Hebei Army to come, it will be too late."
Ning Chi nodded, "Okay."
He said to Zhou Gu, "I'll go with you."
"Okay." Zhou Gu was a little reluctant to part with Su Rong, and asked her, "Aren't you going with me?"
Su Rong shook his head, "I'm tired, I want to rest."
Zhou Gu stopped wanting to encourage her to go with her, "Okay! Then wait for me to come back."
"If Zhang Mao really brought the northern Hebei army, what else would I do in northern Hebei? Of course I have to stay in Nanping first." Su Rong waved his hand.
Zhou Gu thought about it, and without further delay, he and Ning Chi left Su Rong's yard.
