Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!

Chapter 370: New Feature Unlock! ( 1 )

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.

Opening the bamboo tube, Lu Qianxuan read the letter, and surprise flashed in his eyes. Although the letter was short, it conveyed the most important news.

The Lei family had a divine weapon that could turn the war situation around. But the price was half of his entire wealth. They only had until tomorrow to make up their decision, or the deal would be off the table.

While he didn’t know what the divine weapon was, he trusted Lei Feng and the Nuwa Clan. With their current situation, only Lei Feng could help them.

He made up his mind and said, "Bring me paper and ink."

"Yes, General," his personal attendant said and went to fetch them.

When he returned, he held the wooden box high. Using the box as a table, Lu Qianxuan wrote the reply and put the small piece of paper into the bamboo tube.

A few minutes later, Bai Yunxiao returned with the eagle. After drinking and eating some meat, the eagle had regained its energy.

After he tied the bamboo tube to the eagle’s leg, Lu Qianxuan took out a small jade bottle from his clothes and fed two drops of diluted spiritual spring water to the eagle.

As soon as it drank the water, the eagle snuggled against his palm before it leaped from his arm and flew away. Looking at the eagle turning into a small dot in the sky, a slight smile appeared on his face.

Noticing his good mood, Bai Yunxiao asked, "General, is there good news?"

Lu Qianxuan didn’t want to discuss this important matter with so many people around, so he only gave him a glance and said, "Depart!"

Following his order, everyone carried their weapons and continued marching.

Meanwhile, in Luo City, Xue Leiting received the letter sent by his daughter. Standing in the center of the study was Ah Jun, his daughter’s personal guard.

After he read the letter, he asked, "Ah Jun, have you seen this Young Master Lei?"

Ah Jun cupped his fists and lowered his head. "Replying to the Old Master, Young Master Lei is a righteous, wise young man. I saw him when he visited the General’s Mansion."

"Is he trustworthy?" Xue Leiting asked again.

"From this subordinate’s observation, Young Master Lei is not simple. He is able to take out hundreds of thousands of jin of grains and provide a lot of rare materials easily."

"Although the Eldest Miss paid him for all those items, he indeed helped the White Tiger Army and the Xue family’s business a lot. What’s more, no one is able to investigate his background or find out where he lives at all, including the General and this subordinate."

Hearing this, Xue Leiting tapped his fingers on the sturdy desk as he lost himself in thought. After a while, he finally made up his mind.

Reaching into his sleeve, he took out a blood jade pendant and placed it on the table. Then, he wrote a letter before putting the letter and the jade pendant into the envelope.

"Go back as soon as possible," he said as he handed the envelope to him.

Ah Jun accepted the envelope and bowed. "Understood."

After he left, Xue Qing turned to his adoptive father and asked, "Father, you gave the family head’s token to my sister. How can we explain this matter to the elders later? Also, can we really trust that Lei Feng?"

Xue Leiting stood up and walked to the window. Staring at the sunset, he said, "Ah Qing, we have no other choice. If the General’s Mansion is charged with a capital crime, we won’t be able to escape either. As for the Elders, we will find a way."

Hearing this, the young man’s eyes flickered. "Father, there must be another way. Our family had a good relationship with the Chen family. I’m sure we can ask them to help."

Before he finished his words, Xue Leiting shook his head and replied, "Since your sister married the General, our family can only advance and retreat together with the White Tiger Army."

"The moment the military power in the General’s hands crumbles, that will be the day our Xue family perishes. So, no matter what, we can only support him."

"What’s more, the Luan army is not as simple as the White Tiger Army. With the Emperor’s people holding a high-ranking position there, it won’t be easy for the Chen family to help us even if they want to."

Hearing this, Xue Qing went silent and frowned deeply. His hands were clenched tightly as he blamed himself for being useless, unable to help his sister when she needed him.

Seeing his adopted son like this, Xue Leiting let out a sigh and hoped that he was making the right bet.

At the same time, in Yang Village, Yao Zhi was inside her Shared Manor. At this moment, she was in the middle of negotiating with the System.

"System, I already paid 10% of my merit points as compensation to the Heavenly Dao. Can’t you just negotiate with it and let me unlock this new feature with a discount?"
