Wishful Things

Obviously, Big Bird doesn't have a clear idea of ​​his weight.

Xiao Qi slightly moved his somewhat stiff and numb shoulders, and looked in the direction of a big tree with dense branches not far away - the appearance of him carrying a bird on his back was more or less ridiculous.

There is also a person hidden on the big tree at this time, that is He Feng, the capable confidant sent by King Yan.

He Feng pretended not to notice Xiao Qi's gaze, and stared at the movement in the courtyard without turning his eyes - he is a professionally trained secret guard, and generally he would not laugh at others.

At this time, there was a faint sound of relatively neat footsteps.

Even though those voices were still some distance away, Xiao Qi and He Feng still immediately held their breath and hid their figures more discreetly.

Those were soldiers patrolling Xiangwang Mansion, and they would pass by here every half an hour—this was undoubtedly quite frequent.

It takes half a quarter of an hour to visit the residence of King Xiang from here.

After waiting quietly for half a quarter of an hour, He Feng jumped down from the tree and sneaked along the back wall to the direction of King Xiang's residence.

The patrolling government soldiers within half an hour will not approach King Xiang's courtyard again, and this half hour is their chance to monitor and keep an eye on King Xiang.

But there are two other masters guarding Xiangwang Courtyard, so you need to be careful not to get too close.

Seeing that He Feng had gone, Xiao Qi shook the Celestial Eye on his back.

Tianmu opened his eyelids and took a look, he seemed to feel that there was nothing unusual happening, and soon closed his eyes again, and put two paws on Xiaoqi's shoulder.

"..." Xiao Qi had no choice but to follow He Feng with the big bird on his back.

In the night, it can be seen that the lights in King Xiang's bedroom have been turned off, only a few lanterns hanging under the eaves in the courtyard are still on.

After watching quietly for more than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Qi carefully counted the time, they need to leave here before the patrolling soldiers arrive.

At this time, the two suddenly saw a light in King Xiang's bedroom.

Now that it is approaching midnight, lighting the lamp at this time, if it is not for getting up at night, there must be something strange——

Both Xiaoqi cheered up.

They saw a follower standing outside the door being called in.

The attendant left after a while, but headed towards the study, took paper and pens and other things from the study, and sent them to the bedroom.

Xiao Qi's eyes flickered.

In the middle of the night, what does the king of Xiang want with pen and ink?

Although the dark night always makes people sentimental and often inspires all living beings to become poets, judging from the temperament of King Xiang, it seems that he does not seem to be a person who can write poems late at night.

If it is not poetry, then it can only be writing letters.

The lights in the room were always on, and there was no sign of going out.

Not long after, I could faintly hear the guards who were watching the night coming towards this place again——

In the darkness, Xiao Qi and He Feng looked at each other, both of them were worried about leaving at this time, they might miss the key point.

But according to their attention, these government soldiers are not a bunch of idiots, they can even be called careful and sensitive. They are undoubtedly taking risks by hiding here.

While the two were weighing, they suddenly heard the "squeak" sound of the door being pushed open in the night.

King Xiang came out in his coat.

I saw him holding a ball of white objects in both hands, descending the stone steps, and when he came to the courtyard, he raised his hands——

It's a carrier pigeon!

Xiao Qi's eyes followed the flying carrier pigeon, and he heard the sound of the door being closed, thinking that King Xiang had returned to the room, so he patted his third eye, and immediately flew into the night.

He Feng followed immediately.

At this time, the patrolling government soldiers just passed by the courtyard of King Xiang's residence. The eyes of the leader moved slightly, listening to the wind and grass around, and looked around cautiously.

"Chirp—"

The Tianmu screamed, flapped its wings and passed in front of the group of people, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The leader slowly pushed back the knife on his waist.

It turned out to be a big bird.

Although I couldn't see what kind of bird it was, it was definitely not a human being.

Xiao Qi and He Feng were as light as swallows, they stepped on the high wall along the street and chased after the carrier pigeon.

But both of them are very clear that it is not an easy task to catch up and catch this carrier pigeon, and it is necessary to try not to disturb the nearby people.

In order to conceal their figures, the two of them did not wear bows tonight.

Xiaoqi rewinds a pair of exquisite sleeve arrows, but the sleeve arrows are not suitable for long-distance use, and the carrier pigeon is always moving——

After the two exchanged glances, Xiao Qi shot an arrow first, disrupting the forward route of the carrier pigeon.

Not waiting for the two to move again, they saw a black shadow flying towards the carrier pigeon.

The big bird spread its wings, making it look bigger and bigger, and also made the white carrier pigeon look smaller and smaller, almost shrouded in black shadow.

The big bird firmly grasped the carrier pigeon with one paw——

Facing the sudden appearance of the predator, the carrier pigeon struggled violently under the claws of the big bird. Seeing the big bird stretching out its long beak to peck at it, the carrier pigeon was even more terrified—according to the rules and procedures, shouldn’t it be killed before eating it? !

However, the fearful sense of death as imagined did not appear. On the contrary, the big bird suddenly let go of it and flew away.

The carrier pigeon fell on the roof and flapped its wings twice, its small eyes were full of fear and bewilderment—what the hell was going on?

After standing on the roof to digest and calm down for a while, the professional pigeon flew up again and continued to run errands.

And Tianmu has already thrown the piece of bamboo tube in front of Xiaoqi.

Xiao Qi silently picked it up, suddenly felt a little ashamed—it turned out that Tianmu was not lazy, but was recharging his energy, and it was because he was out of shape.

He Feng couldn't help but look at Big Bird again—does this Bird have brothers and sisters at home? He was moved and wanted to raise one for their prince.

Xiaoqi quickly returned to Dingnan Palace with the bamboo tube.

Wu Chao unfolded the tightly rolled note in the bamboo tube, read it carefully, then rolled it up again and put it back into the bamboo tube engraved with the emblem of King Xiang's Mansion, and handed it to Xiaoqi——

Xiao Qi quickly walked out of Dingnan Palace.

At the back door, He Feng was still waiting there - after Wu Shisun read the note, he would take it back to show the prince.

However, Xiao Qi in front of him said apologetically: "Brother, I'm sorry, my family's grandson ordered me to send it to Zhen Guogong's mansion to show Miss Xu."

"..." After a moment of silence, He Feng nodded.

He seemed to have foreseen the position of the prince in the family in the future.

He Feng returned to Prince Yan's mansion empty-handed, and explained the general situation to his prince.

However, seeing that his prince didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong with the order, he heard that the note was in the hands of Miss Xu from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, so he didn't urge him to ask for it, instead he confessed: "Go get it during the day, don't disturb the girl's sleep."

If it was really urgent and he didn't need to pick it up, his daughter-in-law would definitely bring it to him in time.

I have to say that with his son and daughter-in-law around, he really felt a lot more relieved.

Seeing that his prince returned to the bed and lay down very relaxed, He Feng silently rolled out from the window lattice.

Good evening, everybody.
