It is obvious that Big Bird does not have a clear understanding of his own weight.
Xiao Qi moved his stiff and numb shoulders slightly, and looked in the direction of a large tree with dense leaves not far away - the way he looked like he was carrying a bird on his back was a bit funny to think about.
There was also a person hiding in the big tree at this time, and that was He Feng, a powerful confidant sent by King Yan.
He Feng pretended not to notice Xiao Qi's gaze, and stared intently at the movements in the courtyard - he was a professionally trained secret guard, and he usually would not laugh at others.
At this time, there were faint sounds 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 bodies more secretly.
Those are the soldiers patrolling the Prince of Xiang's Mansion, and they will pass by here every half an hour - this is undoubtedly quite frequent.
It takes half an hour to patrol from here to King Xiang's residence.
After waiting quietly for half an hour, He Feng jumped down from the tree and quietly sneaked along the back wall in the direction of the residence of King Xiang.
The patrolling soldiers will not approach King Xiang's residence for half an hour. This half hour is their opportunity to keep a close eye on King Xiang.
However, there are two masters guarding the Xiangwang Courtyard, so we need to be careful not to get too close.
Seeing that He Feng had gone, Xiao Qi shook his third eye on his back.
Tianmu opened his eyelids and took a look, as if he felt that nothing unusual had happened. He quickly closed his eyes again, only to put two paws on Xiao Qi's shoulders.
"..." Xiao Qi had no choice but to carry the big bird on his back and follow He Feng.
In the darkness, it can be seen that the lights in King Xiang's bedroom have been turned off, but a few lanterns hanging under the eaves of the courtyard are still on.
After keeping watch quietly for more than a quarter of an hour, Xiao Qi carefully counted the time. They needed to leave before the patrolling soldiers arrived.
At this time, the two of them suddenly saw lights lighting up in King Xiang's bedroom.
It's almost midnight now. If you light a lamp at this time, if you don't wake up at night, there will be something strange——
Xiao Qi and both of them cheered up.
They saw an attendant guarding the door being called in.
The entourage left after a while, but headed in the direction of the study. He took paper, pens and other items from the study and sent them to the bedroom.
Xiao Qi's eyes flashed.
In the middle of the night, what does King Xiang want to do with his 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, he does not seem to be someone who can compose poetry late at night.
If you don't write poetry, then you can only write letters.
The lights in the room were always on and showed no signs of going out.
Not long after, you could faintly hear that the night patrol soldiers were heading here again——
In the darkness, Xiao Qi and He Feng looked at each other. Both of them were worried that leaving at this time might miss the key.
But according to what they noticed, these soldiers were not a bunch of idiots, they were even careful and sharp. They were undoubtedly taking risks by hiding here.
While the two were weighing things, they suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open in the night.
King Xiang came out wearing his coat.
I saw him holding a white object in both hands, walking down the stone steps, coming to the courtyard, and raising his hands——
It's a homing pigeon!
Xiao Qi's eyes followed the flying pigeon, and she heard the sound of the door being closed. Thinking that Prince Xiang had returned to the room, she patted her third eye and immediately jumped into the night.
He Feng followed immediately.
At this time, the patrolling soldiers passed by the courtyard of Prince Xiang's residence. The leader's eyes moved slightly, he listened attentively to the disturbances in the surroundings, and looked around cautiously.
"Chirp——"
Tianmu called out, flapped his wings and passed in front of the group of people, quickly disappearing into the dark night.
The leader slowly pressed back the knife on his waist.
It turned out to be a big bird.
Although I couldn't tell what kind of bird it was, it was definitely not a human.
Xiao Qi and He Feng, as light as a swallow, stepped on the high wall along the street and chased the homing pigeon.
But both of them knew that it was not an easy task to catch up with and catch this homing pigeon without disturbing the people nearby.
In order to conceal their figures, the two of them did not carry bows tonight.
Xiaoqi brought back an exquisite sleeve arrow, but the sleeve arrow is not suitable for long distances, and the homing pigeon is always moving——
After the two exchanged glances, Xiaoqi shot an arrow first, disrupting the route of the carrier pigeon.
Before the two of them could make another move, they saw a black shadow flying towards the homing pigeon.
The big bird spread its wings, making it look even bigger. It also made the white homing pigeon look smaller and smaller, almost shrouded in black shadow.
The big bird grasped the pigeon firmly with one paw——
Facing the sudden appearance of the predator, the homing pigeon struggled violently under the claws of the big bird. It was even more frightened to see the big bird stretching out its long beak to peck at it. According to the rules and procedures, it should not be killed first.
Do you want to eat after falling to death?!
However, the terrible feeling of death that he imagined did not appear. On the contrary, the big bird suddenly let go of it and flew away.
The homing pigeon landed on the roof and flapped its wings twice, its little eyes filled with fear and confusion - what on earth was going on?
After standing on the roof to digest and calm down for a while, the highly professional homing pigeon took off again and continued on its errands.
The third eye had already thrown the piece of bamboo tube in front of Xiao Qi.
Xiaoqi picked it up silently, suddenly feeling a little ashamed - it turned out that Tianmu was not lazy, but was recharging his energy, and it was because he had lost his ability.
He Feng couldn't help but take a second look at the big bird - does this bird have any brothers or sisters in the family? 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 with the emblem of the Prince of Xiang's Palace engraved on it, and handed it to Xiao Qi——
Xiao Qi quickly walked out of Dingnan Prince's Mansion.
At the back door, He Feng was still waiting there - after Wu Shisun read the note, he wanted to take it back to show the prince.
However, I heard Xiao Qi in front of me say a little apologetically: "Brother, I'm sorry, my grandson has ordered that it must be sent to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to show Miss Xu first."
"..." He Feng was silent for a moment and then nodded.
He seemed to be able to foresee the prince's future status in the family.
He Feng returned to Prince Yan's Mansion empty-handed and explained the general situation to his prince.
However, he saw that his prince didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this order. He heard that the note was in the hands of Miss Xu of the Zhenguo Palace, so he did not urge him to get it. Instead, he said: "Go and get it during the day. Don't disturb the girl."
Sleeping at home.”
If it was really urgent, his daughter-in-law would definitely send it to him in time without him having to go get it.
I have to say that with his son and daughter-in-law here, he really felt that his heart felt a lot lighter.
Seeing his prince lying back on the bed very relaxed, He Feng silently climbed out from the window lattice.
