Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 44: A small test of skills, Wu Zetian was stunned!
In fact, the reason why flying pigeons pass messages is very simple, it is to take advantage of the pigeons' ability to return home and their good memory.

In other words, no matter how far you go, as long as you tie the letter to the pigeon's leg and let it go, the pigeon will fly home. As long as you guard the pigeon's home, you can get the letter.

Everyone followed Shangguan Wan'er to the back and found many pigeon nests in the trees.

Taking advantage of one of the pigeons being unprepared, Shangguan Wan'er jumped up and grabbed it in her hand.

"Yang Yushi, is this okay?" Shangguan Wa'er handed it to Yang Yanzhang.

"Well, this one is fine." Seeing the pigeon's panicked look, Yang Yanzhang was very satisfied.

However, this pigeon has not been trained and cannot deliver messages over long distances. If the distance is long, the pigeon will stop when it sees something delicious and can easily be killed and eaten.

Of course, it is enough to perform a basic function for Wu Zetian today.

"Yang Yanzhang, you don't make excuses anymore?" Wu Zetian was quite surprised and felt something bad in her heart.

"The Queen Mother underestimates Wei Chen too much. Will Wei Chen boast about something that he is not sure about?" Yang Yanzhang became proud.

"In this way, I will paint the feathers of this pigeon black, and ask Sir Shangguan to wait here. If you see it coming back, catch it! Queen Mother, please move it to the lower official residence, and the lower official will personally perform for the Queen Mother to ensure that the Queen Mother is satisfied!"

Wu Zetian was unwilling to admit defeat, and her curiosity was aroused, so she gritted her teeth and followed.

After arriving at his house, Yang Yanzhang immediately pulled down a note and wrote a few words on it: The carrier pigeon is here!
Then he tied the note to the pigeon's leg with a thread.

"Your Majesty, if I let it go now, it will send the letter to Lord Shangguan. Do you believe it?"

"I don't believe it!" Wu Zetian shook his head decisively.

Yang Yanzhang smiled, then let go and threw the carrier pigeon out.

The homing pigeon had been caught for a long time and had already been scared to death. Now it was finally released. It immediately wanted to go back to find its mother, so it quickly returned to the bird's nest.

Shangguan Wan'er was worried about Yang Yanzhang's failure, so she kept staring at the sky. Not long after, she saw the pigeon painted black flying back, and she immediately caught it in a flash.

Suddenly seeing a note on her lap, Shangguan Wan'er couldn't restrain her curiosity, so she took off the jumper, looked at Yang Yanzhang's handwriting on it, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Oh my God! Pigeons can really deliver letters! He How can you make a bird so obedient?"

While he was stunned, Wu Zetian also came back.

Wu Zetian, who originally looked disdainful, was stunned when he suddenly saw the carrier pigeon in Shangguan Wan'er's hand.

"Wan'er, where did the carrier pigeon you have come from?"

"It? Caught it..."

"No, I mean, is it the one just now? Hey, no! It doesn't have that little note!"

Wu Zetian suddenly saw that there was no note on the carrier pigeon's leg, and she immediately covered her mouth and laughed. At the same time, she turned to stare at Yang Yanzhang: "Yang Yanzhang, Yang Yushi, do you have nothing to say now? You will go to bed tonight and get ready." , I am waiting for you in my bedroom!"

Yang Yanzhang's eyes were straight, and the way he looked at the carrier pigeon was the same as the one he had painted black, but why was there no note?
Fortunately, Shangguan Wan'er quickly came to her senses at this time, and quickly opened her palms to reveal the note: "Queen Mother, is this the note you are talking about?" Wu Zetian's face froze, and when she turned around, she was shocked to find that Shangguan Wan'er The note in his hand was clearly the one that Yang Yanzhang tied to the pigeon's leg!
"Is there a carrier pigeon? Yes, it's really it! What's going on, pigeons can really carry messages? Is this palace just dreaming?"

Wu Zetian was so shocked that she doubted her life.

Yang Yanzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that there were many palace maids standing around, he whispered: "The Queen Mother retreated from everyone. I can briefly explain the reason behind this."

Wu Zetian was extremely curious about this, so she immediately asked everyone to retreat far away. Only she and Shangguan Wan'er were here.

"In fact, people who often deal with pigeons will find that pigeons love their nests."

"This is the basis for my flying pigeon to pass the message!"

Wu Zetian was confused when she heard this: "Just, it's that simple? Are you lying to me?"

"Really, more real than real gold! The basic principle is that simple!"

"So, in the future, as long as we catch a pigeon from the pigeon nest here and have it taken to the border or other states or counties, wouldn't it be possible to release the pigeon at any time to send a message?"

Yang Yanzhang waved his hand: "That's the truth, but if the journey is long, it will naturally be much more complicated, and there are other points."

Wu Zetian felt that this thing worked well, so she became anxious: "What other questions are there? Just tell me!"

"First of all, if it really wants to be put into military use, the Queen Mother must order the formation of a special team to tame pigeons. Secondly, it is necessary to master the method of taming pigeons. Finally, it must be kept confidential and the technology and skills of taming pigeons must not be leaked to the outside world. Place."

Wu Zetian looked confused again when he heard this: "It sounds very complicated, but didn't you just send the letter easily? Why do you have to make it so complicated?"

"The Queen Mother, think about it carefully. If there is not a dedicated team to domesticate pigeons, then once someone does something and deliberately detains urgent military information, won't the transmission of military information fail? In addition, if there is no dedicated person to raise the pigeons, then the pigeons are outside If you die, won't you be blind in vain? And just like those fat pigeons just now, they may not be able to fly ten or eight miles. If they stop, they will be slaughtered and eaten. If they are not trained well, how can they be sent? Is it useful?"

Wu Zetian couldn't help but nod her head. Although she couldn't train pigeons, she could understand the truth.

"I didn't expect that pigeons not only have such wonderful uses, but also have so many ways to train pigeons! Yang Yanzhang, I really learned a lesson today!"

"The Queen Mother made a serious statement. It is an honor for me to be able to contribute to the Queen Mother! I just don't know how valuable the Queen Mother thinks this secret skill of training pigeons is? Is it enough to control the country?"

Wu Zetian thought about it carefully and then nodded solemnly: "Even if the border emergency report is delivered one day in advance, it will give the court more time to prepare! As you said before, this technique is indeed related to the safety of the border officers and the safety of the country! The cannon is an artifact of the country because of its unparalleled power, but this technique can be called the country's power from another aspect! Yang Yanzhang, you have made a meritorious service again! Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yang Yanzhang was overjoyed: "I have nothing else to ask for but that the Queen Mother fulfills her promise."

"Oh? What promise do I have to you?"

Yang Yanzhang was angry at that time: "Queen Mother, are you kidding me?"

Seeing him fuming, Wu Zetian snorted: "Of course I'm joking. Looking at you like this, aren't you just a Shangguan Yuqing? As for being so anxious? That's all. This time I miscalculated and underestimated you. It's all about it! Go ahead, I don't care about the matter between you and Shangguan Yuqing!"
