"Uh…General, where did this arrow come from?”
Lan Yu looked at Zhu Zhen and asked again.
"It was pulled out from this female condor. When I saw her, she had this arrow stuck in her body.”
Zhu Zhen pointed at the female eagle and said.
"Hiss, what? It was actually pulled out from this eagle?”
Lan Yu was a little surprised when she heard this.
Xu Miaoyun's face darkened.
" This eagle is not far from here, and they probably won't fly too far to hunt. If the arrow came from this eagle, then…"
" This means that there are Northern soldiers nearby."
Zhu Zhen looked at the few of them and continued to speak to Xu Miaoyun.
Everyone's expression changed.
"How is this possible? This is the Gobi Desert, and we haven't even reached the north yet. How can there be soldiers from the north here?”
Lan Yu's face turned serious, and his expression became extremely ugly. It was very obvious that he could not understand this.
Zhu Zhen glanced at Lan Yu." Since we can be here, why can't they?”
This sentence stunned Lan Yu. Indeed, they could all appear in the Gobi Desert. Why couldn't the people of Northern Yuan appear here?
"Don't be anxious. I'll know if it's true or not.”
Zhu Zhen glanced at them, then his gaze fell on the female eagle.
"Xiao Jin, tell me, where did you get injured?”
Zhu Zhen pointed at the arrow in his hand and asked the female eagle.
"Chirp chirp…"
When the golden eagle heard this, it immediately began to neigh, and its tone sounded a little angry. Zhu Zhen listened attentively, and then his expression gradually became strange.
"How was it? Did it say anything?”
At this moment, everyone was already used to Zhu Zhen being able to communicate with animals. At this moment, after hearing the Golden Condor's words, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Zhen, wanting to know what the Golden Condor had said.
Zhu Zhen's expression was a little solemn as he looked at Xu Miaoyun and Lan Yu.
"The golden eagle told me that it was injured not far from here. It's another water source. Many people are gathered there.”
"What? There are really people in this desert? Could it be those tribes in the north of the desert?”
"That's not right. This is the desert. How could they appear here? Even if they were nomads, they should be on the northern plains.”
Lan Yu's expression immediately changed when she heard this. After which, she spoke in a solemn manner.
Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Zhen were the same. Their expressions were a little strange, and it was obvious that their expressions were not very good.
"Could it be that Wang Baobao and the others have already received the news that we are going north, so they are here to ambush us?”
Xu Miaoyun suddenly said.
"It's very possible!"
Zhu Zhen nodded. Needless to say, this possibility was extremely high.
The Great Ming's three armies were attacking Northern Yuan, so it was impossible for Northern Yuan to not know about it. With such a large formation, the news had probably reached Aiyou, Shili, Dala, and Wang Baobao's ears.
Wang Baobao naturally wouldn't sit still and wait for death, so it was very likely that he had already come up with a countermeasure. It was not impossible to set up an ambush in this desert. Anything was possible.
"I think it's very possible. This arrow should be newly forged. The color looks very new, which means that they just made it. Although the tribes in the north of the desert also had this kind of arrow, the problem was that their arrows were definitely old. To be able to have such a newly forged arrow, it was very likely that it was Wang Baobao's people.”
Lan Yu nodded.
"I have to inform my father immediately.”
Xu Miaoyun immediately said. Obviously, the enemy had made a move, so they had to be careful.
"It just so happens that I'm going to report the situation of the new water source to the Great General. How about I inform the Great General of this matter as well?”
Lan Yu said.
"Alright, but it's much more convenient now. There's no need for soldiers to travel back and forth to deliver messages.”
Zhu Zhen nodded and said.
"Uh, what does the general mean?"
Lan Yu was puzzled.
"Running on the ground is not as fast as flying in the sky. Let my Big Gold send the news.”
Zhu Zhen looked at the golden eagle. There was a messenger pigeon, but no one had seen a messenger eagle before. However, Zhu Zhen planned to broaden the horizons of others this time.
"What is that? Look at the sky. It seems like something is coming towards us.”
"It's a condor, a huge condor. Be careful, it's charging over.”
"Archers, archers, quick, get ready, it's coming.”
"Stop, don't shoot. Look, there seems to be something hanging on its body. It's shining. Don't shoot.”
……………………
In the Gobi Desert, a bottle of military camp was entrenched. This was the main force of Xu Da's middle army. They had already rested here for several days.
They had no choice. The news from the front told them that there was a problem with the water source. Before they found a new water source, it was obvious that the army could not move out. Otherwise, even if there was no water source at the destination, the army would not be able to resist.
At this moment, the patrolling soldiers suddenly discovered a shocking scene. In the sky, a shadow swooped down. At first, everyone was shocked, but when they saw it clearly, they were even more shocked because it was a fierce golden eagle that swooped down.
Just as the soldiers were about to shoot the crazy golden eagle, someone with sharp eyes noticed something wrong. They clearly saw that there seemed to be something hanging on the golden eagle's body, and it was shining.
This situation made everyone realize the problem, so they did not draw their bows. The golden eagle landed on the ground and stood there. It looked at the few of them with an embarrassed gaze and an arrogant expression.
"This, why is there a metal plate hanging on his body? That monster is so bright. Did someone deliberately remind us?”
When the golden eagle landed, everyone realized that there were a few pieces of iron hanging on the golden eagle's body. The light just now came from this. If not for this light, everyone would have shot arrows.
"What's that? A package? It brought another package?”
The golden eagle released its claws. At this moment, a package appeared in front of everyone. When they saw this package, everyone was stunned again.
"It's a package from the vanguard army. My god, this eagle is actually helping the vanguard army deliver a message.”
When the few of them went forward to take a look at the package, everyone's expression changed again. There were words on it that said 'Vanguard Army'. In an instant, everyone came to a realization. Then, they looked at the golden eagle in astonishment, with a look of disbelief.
