Chapter 370

The golden eagle streaked across the sky and disappeared into the heavens at an extremely fast speed.

"Tsk tsk!"

This was the first time Chen Gong had seen the golden eagle used for messaging with his own eyes, and he could not help but click his tongue: "Such a means of communication is truly breathtaking!"

"My Lord, this golden eagle must have been a gift from the King of Zou Qian as well, right? Is this thing reliable? How is its speed and stability?"

Lu Bu immediately replied with a smile: "Don't let the fact that this golden eagle is just a bird fool you; it has been specially bred and trained. Not only is it a strange beast, but it is also extremely intelligent!"

"I have been using this golden eagle to send messages for many years, and it has never once failed!"

"Moreover, it is extremely fast!"

"From here to Xiangyang in Jingzhou, it probably takes less than a few hours to arrive."

"It's much faster than a person!"

"The key is that this thing flies in the sky, and its speed is so fast that it is basically impossible for anyone to shoot it down!"

"In terms of stability and safety, it is actually safer and more stable than using people to deliver messages."

This was also a point of Lu Bu's admiration for Su Xuan!

To be able to tame such a bird and even create a breeding method to raise it into a strange beast.

One must know, this golden eagle was not a strange beast at the beginning.

It was raised and bred step by step.

It was simply a miraculous skill.

Of course, he did not mention these things involving Su Xuan's secrets to Chen Gong.

When it came down to it, his trust in Chen Gong was only so much.

It was far from being comparable to his trust in Su Xuan.

"Hiss!"

However, this information alone made Chen Gong gasp, and he exclaimed: "So fast? So stable? It's simply a divine object! My Lord, can we purchase more golden eagles from the King of Zou Qian for communication?"

"War is often a battle of intelligence!"

"Whoever has stronger intelligence capabilities and faster means of communication can occupy an absolute advantage;"

"If we could possess more golden eagles for communication, it would surely allow our army to occupy a greater advantage and achieve better results."

Facing Chen Gong's expectant gaze, Lu Bu shook his head helplessly: "Don't even think about it! It's impossible!"

"It's not like I haven't asked before; Su Boyuan said he wouldn't sell!"

"Although my friendship with Su Boyuan is indeed very solid, it would be strange if he sold something involving such strategic significance!"

Chen Gong asked, somewhat unwillingly: "Is there really no possibility of buying one?"

"No possibility!"

Lu Bu shook his head affirmatively: "Stop thinking about these impossible things! Let's focus on other matters!"

"Alas! What a pity!"

Chen Gong sighed, then said with some relief: "But fortunately! Only the King of Zou Qian has this thing, and his relationship with you, my Lord, is quite good! Other warlords don't have it; otherwise, it would be even harder for us to deal with them."

"Since that is the case, just being able to buy grain and military equipment is quite good!"

In Xiangyang,

Su Xuan soon received the letter sent by Lu Bu.

"Hehe! Purchasing grain and military equipment, is it?"

After reading it, Su Xuan smiled slightly and handed the letter to Xi Zhicai and Su Yu, who were standing to the side: "Take a look, both of you!"

The two quickly took the letter and read it through at high speed. Then, Xi Zhicai spoke first: "My Lord! I believe this business can be done!"

"Not bad!"

Su Yu also nodded affirmatively: "Lu Bu has plundered quite a lot of wealth from Yanzhou and is very rich. Whose money isn't money?"

"Furthermore, providing him with enough grain and military equipment will allow him to hold out in Xuzhou for longer!"

"Only in this way can we drag down and weaken the strength of Tao Zou Qian, Liu Bei, and even Cao Cao;"

"For us, it is all benefit and no harm!"

As for whether selling military equipment to Lu Bu would bolster his strength and bring them trouble in the future?

That was completely worrying about nothing!

The military equipment being sold was already several generations behind what was used in Su Xuan's army!

It would not affect Su Xuan's side.

"Hehe! Zhongyu is quite right!"

Xi Zhicai nodded with a smile.

He could not help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that Young Master Zhongyu has also grown over these years! He is becoming more intelligent, and his perspective on the big picture is getting better and better! He has finally lived up to the Lord's cultivation!"

As for worrying about whether Su Yu would become a threat to Su Xuan?

Xi Zhicai had no such concerns at all.

His Lord was no ordinary person.

Even the Lord's eldest son, Su Ping, although still young, could already be seen to be extremely intelligent.

With the Lord's cultivation, this eldest son would likely not be simple in the future either.

Besides, the Lord was a divine being who would likely achieve true immortality in the future; what threat was there to worry about?

Thinking too much!

"Hahaha!"

Su Xuan laughed aloud: "Since you both say so! Then let it be done as you say!"

"Zhongyu! I will leave the coordination and contact for this matter to you!"

"In any case, you are familiar with Brother Fengxian, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"Yes!"

Su Yu immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Naturally, there is no problem! Rest assured and leave it to me!"

"But Big Brother, shouldn't you communicate with Sister-in-law spiritual energy and have her write a letter back to Brother Fengxian as well? Hehe!"

Su Yu found Lu spiritual energy's crush on Su Xuan very interesting.

He sometimes wondered how the seniority between Lu Bu and his big brother would be calculated in the future?

It was quite chaotic!

Xi Zhicai, standing to the side, lowered his head and remained silent upon hearing this.

However, one could see the corners of his mouth curling up slightly, and his ears pricked up, as if he were listening to something.

(King Zhao is fond of it) It seems that gossip is human nature, even for a wise man like Xi Zhicai.

"Shut up, you brat!"

Su Xuan glared at Su Yu with annoyance: "You only know how to tease your big brother! What can I do if spiritual energy likes me? This isn't something I can control!"

"However, I should indeed tell her to write a letter back to Brother Fengxian, so he doesn't worry!"

"I'll leave the sale of military equipment and grain to you!"

"Supply the grain with limits, but the military equipment can be unlimited. That's all!"

Saying this, Su Xuan stood up and left, finding Lu spiritual energy in the back garden, who was in the middle of a music lesson. He pulled her aside and said: "Your father has sent a letter!"

"Eh?"

Lu spiritual energy was slightly stunned, then delighted: "Really? Father hasn't written to me in almost a month! I thought something had happened to him!"

"What did he say? How is the situation now? Why hasn't he written back for so long?"

Su Xuan replied with a smile: "Rest assured! Nothing happened to him! He was just defeated by Cao Cao and retreated to Xuzhou!"

"It was clearly a tense situation before, and he didn't have time to write back!"

"...."

Then, Su Xuan detailed Lu Bu's recent situation to Lu spiritual energy.

He even included Lu Bu's plan to purchase grain and military equipment from Su Xuan this time.

"Is that so?"

Lu spiritual energy frowned slightly: "It's good that he's fine! But! Did Father really lose to that Cao Cao? Brother Su Xuan! Is Cao Cao very powerful? Even Father is no match for him?"

...... evised.
