Chapter 367 Yelü Fengqi's Letter
After seeing Jerry off, Steward Li brought over a letter, bowed respectfully, and presented a plate full of meat, saying it was delivered by a Flying Eagle warrior from the Liao Dynasty. Gu Mochen, seeing the Flying Eagle, gave it a tender chicken leg before opening the letter. It was from Yelü Fengqi, who wrote: "Brother Mochen, where are you now? Are you all well? I have already dealt with the rest of the main family. If it weren't for you, brother, I would probably still be in the dark. I, the number one imperial merchant of the Liao Dynasty, almost ended up with a small family, and a woman even died because of me. I will get my revenge."
These eagles are no ordinary eagles; they are Flying Eagle Warriors! Back when these eagles were first acquired, they were all unruly and wild creatures. However, Ye Qingchen possessed unique abilities and patience. He was able to tame these eagles completely, relying on his mysterious and unpredictable spatial power and astonishing endurance. Not only that, Ye Qingchen also bestowed upon these eagles spatial water, which endowed them with sentience, making them more intelligent and human-like. These eagles are diverse in species, each with its own characteristics. Among them are the agile gyrfalcon, whose flight speed is extremely fast, like lightning; the sharp-eyed golden eagle, whose excellent eyesight allows it to easily spot prey high in the sky; and the swift and agile peregrine falcon, whose attack speed is as fast as lightning, making it impossible to defend against.
These eagles are not only diverse in species, but each one is extremely ferocious. When they spread their enormous wings, they can be over ten feet long, seemingly blotting out the sky. Their talons are like gleaming, sharp blades, capable of easily tearing apart their prey's body, sending chills down one's spine.
These eagle warriors, while respectful to their respective supervisors, are not subject to their orders. They obey only Gu Mochen and Ye Qingchen's commands, like loyal guardians. Furthermore, they are remarkably intelligent, seemingly able to read their masters' minds. When Gu Mochen or Ye Qingchen issues a mission, they gaze intently, respond with clear calls, then take flight, quickly disappearing into the sky to continue their missions. It is for this reason that everyone affectionately calls them eagle warriors.
Now, Yelü Fengqi has begun to reorganize the family, which must have been achieved through numerous hardships. Gu Mochen knew his elder brother's character well; he was always clear about right and wrong, and those who had betrayed or harmed him would be severely punished. His and Ye Qingchen's trip was intended to explore the world's wonders and broaden their horizons, but they couldn't afford to let their guard down. The martial world was fraught with danger; a single misstep could lead to utter ruin.
Thinking of this, Gu Mochen looked up into the distance, pondering to himself, "Brother Yelü is making great strides in the Liao Dynasty, and I can't just stand by and do nothing. Steward Li, go find some paper money and have Flying Eagle take it back to the Liao Dynasty for me." He then looked at the letter in his hand, carefully putting it away as if it were a precious token of friendship.
Steward Li quickly found paper, ink, and brush, and then Gu Mochen personally wrote two letters, one addressed to Steward Zhao of the Liao Dynasty and the other to Yelü Fengqi. He gave Yelü Fengqi some suggestions and then asked Steward Zhao to help Yelü Fengqi organize the household.
After finishing the letter, Gu Mochen carefully placed it in an envelope and sealed it. He looked up at the sky again, silently hoping that the Flying Eagle Warriors would deliver the letter to Yelü Fengqi as soon as possible, and also looking forward to his next letter. In the courtyard, a gentle breeze rustled the leaves.
Just then, Ye Qingchen suddenly spoke up, "Do you think we should travel a little further north to see the snow and ice there? I've heard it's covered in snow year-round, and the scenery is absolutely stunning. However, even in this sweltering summer, it's still incredibly cold there. I wonder if the four of them can handle it?" Gu Mochen thought for a moment and then replied, "Hmm, it should be fine. I'm sure you've prepared enough warm clothing for us. It's just that we might have some difficulties, since we don't understand the language here at all." Ye Qingchen smiled slightly and reassured him, "It's alright, we can bring two people who are fluent in the language and highly skilled in martial arts with us. This way, we can not only solve the communication problem but also ensure our safety. Besides, I really want to see the scenery there; it would probably take several days to get there from here." Gu Mochen nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, then we'll go with your suggestion."
After hearing their words, Steward Li's initial thought was instantly dispelled. After all, further north, even summer nights were bitterly cold, and the sea was perpetually covered by thick ice sheets, with ferocious polar bears roaming the area. Such a harsh environment was hardly a suitable place for recreation. However, Steward Li couldn't help but wonder what his master was thinking. Why would he want to go to such a place to enjoy the scenery? Although he found his master's decision somewhat perplexing, as a steward, he naturally had to do his best to meet his master's needs.
Thinking this, Steward Li secretly pondered that he must find two agile and skilled individuals to accompany his master on the journey. Only in this way could he ensure his master's safety and allow him to enjoy himself to the fullest. Furthermore, Steward Li decided to prepare extra food for the trip. After all, finding enough food in that icy and snowy place wouldn't be easy. He didn't want his master to suffer from hunger and cold, or endure any hardship. However, Steward Li still felt a pang of regret. If it weren't for the need to stay here to oversee affairs, he truly wished to go with his master himself. He was genuinely worried about his master's safety and felt that no matter who accompanied him, they couldn't possibly take care of him as wholeheartedly as he could.
The two had finished their discussion and were about to tell Steward Li when he spoke up: "Master, I'll go prepare your travel supplies right away. It would be safer for you to stay here a few more days until everyone and everything is ready." Ye Qingchen nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Steward Li!" Steward Li was delighted by his master's praise and immediately went to prepare. Ye Qingchen actually did have these supplies, but it wasn't convenient to show them to others. Since that was the case, he let them prepare them.
