"You want to save your friend? What do you mean?" Liang Muzhou became interested: "Tell me about it. Maybe I can help you with this. Then your friend can be rescued, and I can get the eagle I want."

"You?" Ning Ning looked at him suspiciously, a little unconvinced.

"How dare you! Do you know who my young master is? It is really inconsiderate of you to doubt his ability like this."

The servant was cursing.

Ning Ning secretly complained in her heart, why don’t you tell me, she was also very curious about who this person was. If he could really help her, it would not be a loss to exchange him for a Saker Falcon.

But in the end, the servant was just venting his anger and ended up not revealing any news about his young master.

Ning Ning weighed the pros and cons and decided to confess. There was nothing to hide anyway, and having one more person might open up another way.

"I am the dance instructor of the Xingyuan Prefecture's Xiao Zhizhou family. I was ordered by the Zhizhou to go to the capital to do business. However, the dance troupe that went north with us was detained as soon as we entered Qizhou. The yamen runners said that they were in danger of killing an official of the court. However, I ate and lived with the dance troupe day and night, and I could prove their innocence, but the Qizhou prefect did not believe it.

I have no choice but to seek help from our master."

"So you bought a Saker Falcon with the intention of sending it to Xingyuan Prefecture?"

Ning Ning didn't hide anything and nodded honestly.

"But have you ever thought that this Saker Falcon has never been to that place, so how can it recognize the place?"

Ning Ning sighed helplessly. Isn’t she trying to find a solution?

To put it simply, in ancient times, carrier pigeons were used to send messages from point A to point B. The route was fixed. They could not fly to point C without having been to point C. Therefore, the so-called carrier pigeons were not as omnipotent as later generations imagined.

The same is true for the Saker Falcon, but it is not completely impossible. Her idea now is to let the Saker Falcon smell something, and then let it use this smell to find Xiao Zhizhou.

But I'm not sure if I can succeed.

"Actually, it's not that troublesome to be a guarantor for the dance troupe. I can consider being your guarantor." After a long time, Liang Muzhou spoke.

"Really?" Ning Ning was overjoyed, her eyes full of hope.

"Well, I do have the ability to vouch for a dance troupe, but the premise is, what can I trust you with?"

Ning Ning immediately took out her documents and said, "I am really the tutor of Xiao Zhizhou's family. If you don't believe me, you can send this servant to check. Besides, how can ordinary people like us dare to kill an official of the imperial court? Even if we did it, we should flee immediately instead of blatantly running to the capital."

"Then would you be willing to tell me how to train a falcon?"

"Yes, as long as Master Liang is willing to help rescue the dance troupe, I can teach you how to train eagles, and even give you this Saker Falcon."

"Okay, then give me the secret book first." Liang Muzhou stretched out his hand happily.

Ning Ning was stunned, and smiled awkwardly: "Sir, it's not that I don't trust you, but the world is dangerous, and I dare not be arrogant... How about this, I will give you the Saker Falcon first, and when the people from the dance troupe come out, I will hand over the secret book with both hands, how about it?

Don't worry, there is no benefit in lying to you. After all, you have the ability to guarantee the dance troupe, so you naturally have the ability to put the dance troupe and even me in jail, right?"

Liang Muzhou looked quietly at the girl in front of him. To be honest, the girl was indeed very pretty, but what was more attractive than her appearance was her eyes. They were beautiful, clear, wise, and inexplicably cunning.

Liang Muzhou nodded with interest: "Okay, deal."

Ning Ning was happy and blew the whistle at the Saker Falcon again. Then the Saker Falcon obediently returned to the cage after eating the last fish.

Ning Ning quickly closed the door and handed the cage to Liang Muzhou.

She called the bird back, locked it, and handed it the cage, all in one go without taking a breath. It felt like she was raising a parrot instead of a Saker Falcon.

Even though these two people had seen the world before, they were still shocked by this series of operations.

"Take it. Don't worry. It's full and won't be aggressive for now. But you have to pay attention to feeding it in the future. Don't let it go hungry. If conditions permit, feed it more raw meat, chicken, duck, goose, pig, cattle, mutton, or even seafood."

Ning Ning was very loyal and provided a bird-raising plan.

Liang Muzhou took the birdcage solemnly. As expected, the Saker Falcon did not flutter and was more obedient than any other bird he had ever raised.

He nodded with interest: "Okay. Wait for my good news. The dance troupe will be released tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, sir." Ning Ning expressed her gratitude without hesitation.

Liang Muzhou finished his work and was about to leave. He took another look at the whistle in Ning Ning's hand and said, "By the way, what is this?"

Ning Ning glanced at the silent whistle in her hand, smiled and put it into her sleeve: "Wait until the dance troupe comes out, and you will know."

Liang Muzhou tilted his head and looked at her again, with a smile in his eyes: "Okay, then I look forward to it."

"Then I'll wait for good news from you, young master." Ning Ning said as she made a gesture to see him off respectfully.

Liang Muzhou said nothing and walked away slowly with the servant.

Only after the two men disappeared from sight did Ning Ning turn around and walk back to the inn.

It was not until they arrived at the inn that Shang Wenqi, who had disappeared, reappeared.

Ning Ning looked at him calmly: "You were nearby just now, right?"

Shang Wenqi didn't say anything, just sat down and poured tea.

"Who is that young master?"

"You don't know his identity, yet you dare to ask him for help?"

"It's just that we each get what we need. As long as he can accomplish what I want, I don't care who he is."

"In that case, why ask?"

"..." Ning Ning choked. This guy really knows the art of making people angry!

"It would be fine if you didn't help, but you're adding insult to injury. It seems like you really don't understand the principle of the lips and teeth being cold. Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to go to Beijing with the dance troupe as a smokescreen? Without the dance troupe, you can just wait for waves of assassins to come to your door."

Hearing Ning Ning's threat, Shang Wenqi smiled rarely.

I can only say that this person is really lucky. She managed to meet the most elusive person in Daliang. I can only say that the dance troupe is really saved this time.

"Speaking of which, you were clearly following me, but you didn't show up. Is it because you know this person and he knows you, right?"

Just when Shang Wenqi was secretly thinking that Ning Ning was lucky, Ning Ning suddenly came up to him with cunning in her eyes.

Shang Wenqi was stunned, stepped back slightly, and distanced himself from Ning Ning, then cleared his throat: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe, I was right, wasn't I? You didn't show up because you didn't want to meet him. Although I don't know the reason, I tell you, you'd better make a second plan. If that person can't rescue the dance troupe, you must take action, otherwise... I don't mind letting you meet an old friend in a foreign land."
