Making up her mind, Xue Ya'er hastened her steps. After she returned to her bedchamber, she sent an urgent message to her father, explaining everything clearly.
At the same time, Steward Han also sent an urgent letter to Lu Qianxuan. The letter was sent using an eagle and could reach him within a few hours.
In the afternoon, when the sky slowly dyed with colorful tints, an eagle soared high in the sky as it glided toward the orderly marching army.
At the front, a man riding a tall, magnificent black horse noticed the eagle and raised his left arm. The next moment, the eagle dived down and landed on his arm with practiced movement.
"Take a fifteen-minute break!" he shouted and came down from his horse.
Lu Qianxuan smoothed out the eagle's feathers before he untied the bamboo tube tied to its leg. After he took the bamboo tube, Bai Yunxiao came over and brought the eagle away to rest and fed it.
