Chapter 580

~7 min read 1,389 words

The golden eagle streaked across the long sky and disappeared into the clouds at an extremely high speed.

"Tsk tsk!"

This was the first time Chen Gong had seen the golden eagle's communication in person, 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 Qian, right? Is this thing reliable? How is its delivery speed? How is its 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 an exotic beast, but it is also extremely intelligent!"

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

"Moreover, its speed is extremely fast!"

"From here to Xiangyang in Southern 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 that made Lu Bu admire Su Xuan!

To be able to tame such a bird and even create a breeding method to cultivate it into an exotic beast.

One must know that this golden eagle was not an exotic beast at the beginning.

It was raised and cultivated 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.

After all, 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: "It's actually that fast? That stable? It's simply a divine object! My Lord, can we purchase more golden eagles from the King of Qian for communication?"

"In war, intelligence is often the deciding factor!"

"Whoever has stronger intelligence capabilities and faster communication means 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 them!"

"Although the friendship between me and Su Boyuan is indeed very strong, it would be strange if he sold something involving such strategic significance!"

Chen Gong asked with some unwillingness: "Is there really no possibility of buying them?"

"No possibility!"

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

"Sigh! What a pity!"

Chen Gong sighed, then felt a bit fortunate: "But fortunately! Only the King of 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's the case, just being able to buy grain and military equipment is already quite good!"

Over 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 worth earning?"

"Besides, providing him with enough grain and military equipment will allow him to hold out in Southern Jingzhou for longer!"

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

"For us, it is a hundred benefits 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 already belonged to several generations behind what was used in Su Xuan's army!

It would not affect Su Xuan's side.

"Hehe! Zhongyu is absolutely right!"

Xi Zhicai also nodded with a smile upon hearing this.

He could not help but sigh in his heart: "It seems that Young Master Zhongyu has also grown up over these years! He is becoming more and 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 own 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 figure; he would likely achieve true immortality in the future, so what threat was there to worry about?

Overthinking it!

"Hahaha!"

Su Xuan laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Since you have both said so! Then let's do as you suggested!"

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

"In any case, you are familiar with Fengxian, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

"Yes!"

Su Yu immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Naturally, there is no problem! Leave it to me, don't worry!"

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

Su Yu found it very interesting that Lu spiritual energy had fallen for Su Xuan.

Sometimes he even wondered how the seniority between Lu Bu and his own Big Brother would be calculated in the future?

It was quite chaotic!

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

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

(Zhao Wang Hao) It seems that gossip is human nature for everyone, 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 has fallen for me? This is not something I can control!"

"However, I should indeed tell her to write a letter back to Fengxian, so that 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 supplied in unlimited quantities. That's it!"

As he spoke, Su Xuan stood up and left, finding Lu spiritual energy, who was taking a music class in the back garden. 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 for 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 smiled and replied: "Rest assured! Nothing happened to him! He was just defeated by Cao Cao and retreated to Southern Jingzhou!"

"The war was clearly intense before, so he didn't have time to write back to you!"

"..."

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

He even included the fact that Lu Bu was preparing to purchase grain and military equipment from him.

"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? Is even Father not his match?"

... Revised.
