Chapter 1283: Interesting Intelligence
It seems the mice in Huaxia City are not afraid of cats at all; perhaps it is because they have never seen this natural predator, so they still assume that in this room, there are only humans who can do nothing about them.
But Xiaobao is a natural hunter; the instinct to hunt is carved into his bones. It is just that without the company and education of parents from a young age, his ability is a bit lacking, and it will only be honed through actual hunting in the future.
However, these animals raised by humans have an incomparable advantage: they can receive the protection of humans. When they have not found food, humans can provide it for them, ensuring they will not starve to death.
Baifeng saw the standard posture of a cat before hunting; its butt was already stuck up, and then it rushed toward a corner Baifeng could not see. Only a squeak was heard; that must have been Xiaobao succeeding in his hunt, and then came the crunching sound of Xiaobao chewing.
Baifeng is currently in no mood to work; watching a kitten eat a mouse actually seems quite interesting. He has not even given himself a holiday, so he will just treat this as taking a break. Baifeng does not have that habit of liking to go to work just to enjoy power.
After Xiaobao finished eating, he stayed crouching in the same spot and did not come over. Baifeng guessed that there were more mice coming there. Sure enough, before Baifeng felt sleepy, Xiaobao had already successfully caught another one.
This time Xiaobao did not eat it, because his stomach was not that big; one mouse had already made him full. As for the one he caught this time, he also very cleverly grasped the force, not biting it to death, but instead batting it around with his paws to play, treating it as a toy to exercise his hunting skills.
Baifeng's servant also watched the whole process. He did not expect that a tiny cat could catch a mouse so quickly, and he also did not expect that his King would have such leisure and elegance to watch a kitten catch a mouse; it is truly too rare.
"Woo!!"
A falcon, not particularly large in size, flew onto Baifeng's windowsill. Xiaobao was also startled by this bird that appeared suddenly, but his first reaction was actually to put down the mouse and tentatively try to catch the falcon.
The servant hurriedly walked over with small steps, gently untied the letter tube on the falcon's leg, and then stroked the falcon; the falcon then flew away with a flutter.
Seeing the prey fly away, Xiaobao, who had been crouching, stood up again, feeling a bit bored. When he turned back to look at his toy, it was actually no longer in its original spot. It turned out that the mouse had not died and had been feigning death; only when it was sure that Xiaobao was not paying attention to it did it drag its broken leg and run away.
However, Xiaobao was clearly faster. After discovering the escaping mouse, he rushed over at high speed and then carried it back in his mouth. He still did not bite it to death and continued to throw it on the ground to play. Who knows how long this mouse will be tormented; anyway, Baifeng will not have any pity. If these mice hollowed out the ground under his house, then when the time comes, Baifeng might even lose his own life in it.
The servant respectfully handed the letter tube to Baifeng. After Baifeng unscrewed it, he poured out a small slip of paper. Generally, such news would not be anything that interests Baifeng too much. Unless there is something relatively major, his intelligence system will not take the initiative to send him messages. Basically, it is Baifeng who delegates tasks through various means, and only after they complete the tasks will they provide feedback to their superiors, and then the superiors provide feedback layer by layer until it reaches Baifeng. If anyone could contact Baifeng directly, the messages Baifeng would need to receive would be a bit too many. Likewise, not all messages from all places are in the form of falcons.
There are a few positions on the walls of Baifeng's office that have holes specifically left for messages to be inserted from the outside, but one must have a practiced method to be able to open the hole.
The position of the hole inside is a small cabinet. Once the cabinet is opened, one can see all kinds of messages. In relatively urgent situations, everyone can use this method to send messages to Baifeng directly. After all, if some messages were uploaded level by level, the efficiency would be too low, and for the sake of secrecy, there must be sufficiently reasonable excuses, which makes it even more troublesome.
However, there is a corridor outside the outer wall of Baifeng's office, and it is designed with a turn. As long as one can observe carefully before acting, there is completely enough time to send the letter in, quickly restore the wall, and leave before anyone comes.
Although this piece of news is not important, it is very novel. For Huaxia, it is still the first time. It can be considered related to Chengqie, but it should not have any direct relationship with him.
Those Leaders of the Suiren clan have not returned yet; they are still guests in Huaxia, but they are much better behaved now. Baifeng is still planning to send Changle and Ayuduo over to talk.
Changle has a silver tongue and can resolve the worries of those Suiren people from every aspect, while Ayuduo is a Princess of the Jiuli; she can let these people pass a message on behalf of her to Baoxi to resolve the trouble between the Jiuli and the Suiren, and at the same time pass the news to the entire Suiren clan as quickly as possible to ensure that the trade between the Jiuli and Huaxia can proceed smoothly through the path of the Suiren.
However, what was unexpected was that Chengqie did not have a problem, and those Leaders did not have a problem, but Chengqie's servant actually had a problem. Yet, this servant was one that Huaxia had issued to Chengqie.
It is not that this servant of his wants to rebel or harm his master, but rather that he is literate. From the very beginning, someone had already noticed him. Later, after various tests and observations, it was completely confirmed. It is just that the servant named Huang clearly did not know that he had already been targeted, and he was excited because his knowledge was becoming more and more abundant and his status in Chengqie's heart was becoming higher and higher, because this meant that his chance to leave his slave status in the future was becoming greater and greater, and he could also use the fastest and shortest time to strive to become an official and achieve a huge leap in status.
"Qiufeng, go find a servant named Huang. He is Chengqie's servant. Call him over; I have questions to ask him."
"Yes." Qiufeng's tone had gradually become devoid of emotion, almost completely turning into a robot. He did not ask too much about Baifeng's arrangements and just did it directly.
But as long as he left Baifeng's side, he would reveal his smile, smiling gently and brightly, because he was doing things for Baifeng and to a certain extent represented Baifeng's orders, so he needed to contact many different people to find the things he needed or to seek convenience for his work.
Although just bringing up the name of what Baifeng needs to do is completely enough, these servants still practiced such kind smiles that make people feel like they are bathed in a spring breeze, which makes it much easier for others to get things done.
