The old emperor, leaning on the nanmu coffin, pointed to the sky and swore: "I will surely destroy the Great Qi, wipe out Miss Su's entire family, skin her alive, and dismember her."

All the ministers shouted in unison, "Destroy the Great Qi! Destroy the Great Qi!"

On the advice of his ministers, the old emperor sent an envoy to the Prince of Huainan, deciding to join forces with him to deal with the Great Qi and avenge his son. He felt that the Emperor of Great Qi also bore some responsibility for his son's death in Great Qi, as the Emperor of Great Qi had failed to protect his son.

In less than an hour, all the brightly colored curtains in the Nanyue royal palace were removed and replaced with white cloths for mourning.

The old emperor said to the old sorcerer, "I trouble you to go and retrieve my son's head."

His son came into this world intact, so he also wanted his son to leave intact.

The Third Prince thought to himself, "In this sweltering summer, with his head hanging on the city wall in the sun, it's probably already rotten. Even if the Imperial Advisor manages to retrieve the head, it'll be useless; he certainly won't be able to revive my Seventh Brother."

"Father, I wish to go with the Imperial Preceptor."

"Okay, let's go together then."

Although the old emperor was deeply saddened by the death of the seventh prince, he did not lose his mind and had no intention of killing the third prince.

The dead are gone, and Nan Yue still needs a qualified successor for the future, so he decided to select from his remaining sons.

As for joining forces with the King of Huainan to attack the Great Qi, he did not think it was an irrational act.

Even if we are defeated, it doesn't matter. The Emperor of Qi is weak anyway. Even if Nan Yue is defeated, the Emperor of Qi won't do anything to Nan Yue.

Previously, when the Northern Barbarians attacked the Great Qi, the Great Qi even sent them a lot of grain. The Emperor of Great Qi probably thought that the Northern Barbarians were starving, which is why he attacked them.

In any case, the Great Qi is such a weak country; those who bully Great Qi, no matter how far away, will be punished.

Rongyangtang, on the outskirts of Daqi City.

Many members of the Zhang clan are renovating their houses here, divided into several groups. This business was facilitated by Su Qianqian.

One team was making mud bricks, mixing sifted soil with water, adding dry straw, filling mud brick molds, and pounding them with huge wooden hammers, one blow after another.

The group leader was Zhang Fang, who was in his thirties. The old patriarch of the Zhang family was also watching over them, sitting at a small tea table.

Zhang Fang poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down. He then whispered to the old clan chief, "Clan chief, Miss Su killed the seventh prince of Nan Yue, which not only displeased the emperor of Da Qi, but also completely offended Nan Yue. I heard that the Nan Yue national teacher is very powerful. Should our Zhang clan keep our distance from Miss Su to avoid being implicated?"

The old clan chief was furious and picked up his cane, striking Zhang Fang hard on the back.

"I have sworn many times before the ancestral tablets that the Zhang family will loyally follow Miss Su and never go back on their word. Zhang Fang, you have not taken my words to heart at all. You should leave. The Zhang family temple is too small to contain such a big Buddha as you."

Zhang Fang quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Elder Chief, I was momentarily blinded by greed and said such selfish things. Please forgive me, Elder Chief. I will never dare to speak recklessly again."

The old clan chief beckoned, and someone came over to take Zhang away.

Once unfaithful, never trusted again.

Miss Su is a great benefactor of the Zhang family, and he must keep the people's hearts in check and not let the family members betray Miss Su.

Another young man from the Zhang family ran over to deliver a message: "Elder Chief, Miss Su has sent someone to invite you to the mansion for a talk."

The old clan chief picked up his cane from the ground, stretched his clothes a couple of times to straighten them, and then got into the carriage.

After being kidnapped, Su Xiaobao injured his left knee. Instead of returning to Grand Secretary Liang's house, he stayed in the plum garden to recover and watch his sister feed the golden eagle.

The birds, much larger than him, struck him as novel.

"Sister, this bird is so big, bigger than me! Can I ride it and soar through the sky?"

"Of course you can."

Last night, Su Qianqian locked the starving golden eagle in her space for one night. After releasing the golden eagle, she chained its left claw with an iron chain, the other end of which was tied to a huge stone mill.

The golden eagle tried to struggle and escape, but it couldn't budge the heavy stone roller.

Su Qianqian noticed that the golden eagle had lost several feathers, probably because it had fought with a tiger or a brown bear while it was locked in the space last night, and had been defeated. It looked a bit dejected.

An old woman brought over a wooden basin of fresh beef and placed it on the ground. The beef had been cut into pieces the size of mahjong tiles, just right for the golden eagle to eat.

Su Qianqian gently stroked the golden eagle's feathers and said, "If you eat the beef obediently, you can continue to drink the spiritual spring water tonight."

The golden eagle, just like before, refused to eat.

But it's okay, she has a way.

Su Qianqian released the white tiger and the brown bear, and found that the white tiger was holding a golden eagle feather in its mouth.

Since the white tiger subdued the golden eagle last night, let the white tiger continue to teach the golden eagle a lesson.

"Big White, go! If you catch the golden eagle, I'll reward you with a peach."

Upon hearing that there were peaches to eat, the white tiger immediately pounced on the golden eagle.

The iron chain on the golden eagle's claws is only three meters long, so it can't fly very high. When it flies, the white tiger can just jump up and reach it.

The golden eagle was chased all over the yard by the white tiger, and soon it was exhausted and pinned down by the white tiger's claws.

Su Qianqian made the white tiger loosen its grip, broke a peach in half, fed one half to the white tiger and the other half to the golden eagle, essentially giving the golden eagle a beating followed by a treat.

"Da Jin, as long as you eat properly, I won't let the white tiger bite you."

This trick worked; the golden eagle was afraid of the white tiger, so it obediently ate some beef.

Seeing that the golden eagle had regained some strength, Su Qianqian tied two bags of sand to its body.

The combined weight of the two bags of sand is about the same as Xiaobao's weight.

Su Qianqian also extended the length of the iron chain to ten meters, enough for the golden eagle to fly at low altitude.

But the golden eagle absolutely refused to fly while carrying sandbags.

It seems we have no choice but to force the golden eagle to fly.

"Big White, go after him!"

At Su Qianqian's command, the brown bear and the white tiger both ran after the golden eagle.

The big brown bear was jealous because its owner only gave peaches to the big white bear and the golden eagle, but not to it.

The golden eagle, being chased by the two beast kings, was terrified and quickly took flight with two sandbags.

After flying for a full half hour, Su Qianqian finally called for a stop from the white tiger.

Very good, it seems that this giant golden eagle can indeed carry people through the air.

However, more training is needed.

In addition, feed the golden eagle spiritual spring water for a few more days to raise its intelligence, and then it will be able to ride the giant eagle.

In ancient times, carriages and horses were too slow. If a golden eagle could help with long journeys, the efficiency would be greatly improved.

When relatives or friends encounter danger, they can rush to their rescue in time.

Xiangming came over to report, "Miss, the old patriarch of the Zhang family has arrived."

"Let's invite the old clan chief over."
