Chapter 277 Secretly Summoning a Carrier Pigeon to Report Safety

Li Yaoguang listened obediently to Ji Mo's serious advice. After all, these things were not his. They were temporarily stored by his father and brother. He could use them, but he could not use his father and brother's things to give to others.

It took half an incense stick of time to collect all the things in the cave.

Ji Mo witnessed Li Yaoguang's abilities once again. While he was impressed by her outstanding abilities, he began to worry at the same time. If her secret was exposed, it would cause a bloody storm. If he wanted to protect her, it seemed that he had to continue working hard.

Sighing, Ji Mo took Li Yaoguang back the same way. When they reached the ground and sealed the entrance, it was already completely dark outside.

Li Yaoguang was still worried that he wouldn't be able to summon the carrier pigeons before dark, but Ji Mo said it was nothing.

Asking Li Yaoguang and the two pets to stay aside and not cause trouble, Ji Mo searched for some firewood in the valley, and lit two huge bonfires on the left and right of the open space. While the fire was burning, he threw some special leaves and grass stems that he had picked up when he was looking for firewood into the fire.

Just when Li Yaoguang was wondering, Ji Mo took out a silver-white whistle-like object from his narrow sleeve pocket and put it into his mouth to blew. The pitch was very low, and the eardrums were a little swollen. The frequency of the whistle was also very strange. He blew one wave and stopped for three quarters of an hour, then continued with the next wave, repeating this three times.

Just when Li Yaoguang was looking at the dark sky and thinking that there was not even a ghost, suddenly, the unique flapping sound of wings came from the air one after another. There were not many at first, but gradually they became denser.

When she saw the fluttering figures in the sky above her head, she wondered how the pigeons trained by her father and brother Qijitang could be night owls and not sleep. Where were these little guys hiding in such a dry day? How come they didn't starve to death without anyone feeding them? Her father and brother shouted at her from the fire.

"Yaoguang, spread the food, spread more."

Li Yaoguang suddenly woke up and stopped thinking about anything else. He quickly took out the wooden barrel that his father and brother had just opened, opened the lid, grabbed the food inside and threw it towards the middle of the fire where his father and brother were. Then, black shadows from the sky fluttered down, folded their wings, nodded their little heads and poked the food on the ground.

Ji Mo put away his whistle, took a quick look, and decisively grabbed two homing pigeons that were strong and not much thinner due to lack of food due to the drought, and returned.

Li Yaoguang hurried over and asked, "Is it done now?"

Ji Mo nodded, "Okay, it's done. You go write the letter first, remember to be brief and concise. I'll go check on these two pigeons and give them some treatment in case they can't fly."

"Okay, okay, go, go, go."

Li Yaoguang agreed hurriedly without disturbing the remaining pigeons that were eating. She took out paper and pen from the space and quickly wrote a concise letter of safety in the light of the fire. In order to save space, she used the fountain pen she brought from her previous life. There was no other way. She could write calligraphy, but traditional Chinese characters were difficult to write, and she was clumsy, so the characters she wrote were super big.

After the letter was ready, it was handed over to Ji Mo, who had already checked the carrier pigeons and even prepared two new mailboxes.

Ji Mo took the letter without even looking at it. He took out a seal smaller than his little finger from his sleeve and stamped it on a corner of the letter. He rolled it up and stuffed it into a letter bucket, while reaching out to Li Yaoguang.

"Be good, lend me the paper and pen."

Li Yaoguang...

The black fountain pen was not easy to take out, so what she gave was naturally the brush, inkstone and ink stick, and she did not forget to give water at the end. Shen Yue glanced at the things Li Yaoguang handed over and raised his eyebrows. Without saying much, he spread out paper and ground ink, and buried his head in writing a letter by hand.

When his brother was writing with ink, Li Yaoguang even stood on tiptoe to take a look. The content was secondary. He had to say that his brother's calligraphy was really good. He could even write regular script with a brush, and it was so elegant. No matter how many strokes he made, it didn't look like a smudge like himself. He was a master!
Ji Mo didn't know what Li Yaoguang was thinking. After he finished writing and dried his letter, he told Li Yaoguang to put the things away. He also stamped the letter he wrote on his own letter with a small seal, rolled it up and stuffed it into the letter tube tied to the pigeon's foot. In the dark night, they released the two well-fed pigeons. After watching the two pigeons disappear into the sky, Li Yaoguang asked, "Brother, are pigeons safe? Are they fast? How long will it take to deliver?"

Ji Mo retracted his gaze and said, "Don't worry, it will be quick."

Wasn't it fast? When they left the valley with their two pets and turned southward, arriving at the Zhuo River and preparing to cross the river to Fengzhou on the opposite side, the manager of the Qijitang branch in Pengcheng, which had not closed even when Hu Di invaded from the south, was startled when he saw the sudden arrival of a carrier pigeon.

Seeing that there was a letter tube tied to the pigeon's leg, he did not dare to delay and personally took a handful of millet and sprinkled it on it. He caught the pigeons while they were eating, took out the letters from their feet and let them go to continue eating. The manager opened the letter and was stunned.

The little boy next to him saw that the steward was unusually busy and concerned. The steward shook his head, hurriedly arranged things in the hall and went into the study. When he saw that the seal on the upper half of the letter matched the small seal in his hand 100%, the steward breathed a sigh of relief. When he put away the seal and came out again, he caught another trained pigeon in the hall, put one of the letters back in, released the pigeon, then grabbed the other one and hurried out of the pharmacy, going straight to the general's mansion.

Half an hour later, in the solemn study of the general's mansion, Shen Yue, whose whole body was filled with fatigue, was frowning as he flipped through the battle report in his hand.

Suddenly, a messenger came from outside to report that the manager of Qijitang in the city wanted to see him. Thinking that the owner of Qijitang had some connection with himself and they were also partners of Xinhai Pavilion, and that this hall had also contributed a lot during the Battle of Pengcheng, Shen Yue nodded.

"Bring the man in."

The messenger nodded and left. Shen Yue put down the official letter in his hand, pinched his tired brows, and was still wondering where the other party came from. Unexpectedly, when the person was brought in, he held a small roll of letter paper in both hands and said that he was delivering a message for someone else.

Shen Yue raised his eyebrows and signaled the guards around him to present the things. After taking them and opening them, Shen Yue's expression changed drastically and he hurriedly asked the person below him.

"Excuse me, sir, where did this letter come from?"

The steward reported honestly: "This was delivered by a pigeon from Qijitang. I just received it today. Because it has the seal of my master, it cannot be forged. In order to avoid delaying important matters, I came here to deliver the message."

After listening to it, Shen Yue pinched the seal on the corner of the small piece of letter and took a look at it, finally settling on the content on it and suddenly smiled.

Shen Yue changed his tired attitude and thanked the manager. After the manager left, Shen Yue could no longer hold back and gave instructions directly to his confidant.

"Quick, send a team of soldiers to search for Yingyi along the north bank of the Zhuo River. Use whistling arrows to attract people if necessary. When you see Yingyi, notify him. When you are done searching, bring all the soldiers back quickly, especially Cheng Su, and tell him that there is an urgent message from the commander's tent."

"Here."

Then, the steward who had just left the mansion saw a line of twenty horsemen quickly leaving the general's mansion and going out of the city.

Three days later, Yingyi, who was searching for someone along the Zhuo River, suddenly discovered that their unique cloud-piercing arrows exploded in the sky. Yingyi gathered people without saying a word, and despite Cheng Su's resistance from paranoia and madness, he simply knocked him out, and controlled Desheng, who was staring at him with a ferocious look in his eyes, to rush to the place.

After discovering the person coming and getting the secret code and knowing that it was the general who sent the message, Ying Yi did not dare to delay and hurried back with the unconscious man and the ferocious wolf who had been forcibly subdued.
