The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 632 Seeking Help from General Hua

[The mission location is twenty li from the South Gate. You haven't been there yet, so I can't sense it very clearly for now.]

[You don't need to go and rescue them yourself, you can't anyway. There's a branch office of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War in the south of the city; go there and ask for reinforcements.]

The Prefect of Wanning has already set off, but he likely has insufficient manpower. He has also sent a portion of his men to the palace to deliver a message, making it even more difficult for him to arrive in time.

While keeping an eye on Ayu's surroundings to prevent her from bumping into or getting hurt, Tuanzi quickly relayed the information she had gathered to Ayu.

The lamb has grown quite strong, and Ayu feels very secure sitting on its back, which gives her a lot of time to think.

Her first thought was to go find the Prefect, since it would be faster to find the person in charge of such matters.

But after hearing what Tuanzi said, she immediately had the little sheep turn around and go to the branches of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War in the south of the city.

It was a matter of life and death; any delay could result in the loss of innocent lives. Ayu didn't have time to discuss it with anyone.

Ultimately, the person she trusted most was Tuanzi.

If the information that Tuanzi provides is unusable, then the rest of the family can't offer much help either.

The main problem is that they don't have time to stop and discuss things slowly.

Fortunately, Tuanzi had already unlocked the map of the entire Wanning City, so they didn't take any detours along the way and even avoided several streets that were inconvenient for sheep to roam.

The lamb's four legs truly left afterimages as it ran. Those around it suddenly felt a gust of wind, followed by the sound of hooves pounding the ground. Looking again, they could only barely see the figure of a person quickly leaving.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "Whose newly purchased BMW is this? It's so fast!"

"None of the second-class horses I've ever seen are this fast; it must be a first-class warhorse!"

"Nonsense, how could warhorses be used in Wanning City?"

Moreover, although they couldn't see it clearly, they could still make out that the horse was probably a white horse.

White horses are extremely rare on the battlefield. The legendary Akhal-Teke horses are blood red, while white horses are more suitable for noble young men to ride and play with.

A little boy licking a candied hawthorn said, "It's not a horse, it's a sheep, a very big sheep."

Upon hearing this, everyone else burst into laughter.

Sheep? That's the most ridiculous thing ever.

Now, let's talk about Ayu. Even though the little lamb runs so fast, it still took him almost an hour to reach the Zhennan Camp where the Ministry of War was stationed.

At this time, the one guarding Zhennan Camp was General Hua, a first-class general. He had now completely retired from the battlefield and became a military officer under the emperor's nose, while also taking on the title of instructor.

When Ayu went there, she had already figured out how to talk to General Hua.

Sure enough, she was stopped before she even reached the camp entrance.

"Halt! Who goes there?" The two men crossed their silver spears and blocked Ayu's path.

The one on the left has a favorability rating of 55, while the one on the right has a favorability rating of 40.

Ayu hurriedly said to the man on the left, "I am a good friend of General Hua's son-in-law, named Wang Ruyu. General Hua should know me. Please inform him quickly that it is a matter of great importance concerning the lives of many people!"

The man on the left looked troubled. He felt the young girl didn't seem to be lying; she must have something urgent to discuss with the Ministry of War. But before he could say anything, the man on the right spoke up.

The man on the right frowned upon hearing this: "Words are no proof; we cannot pass on this message to you. Little girl, this is a key location for the Ministry of War; leave quickly!"

"Baby, General Hua is only thirty steps away from you."

Ayu immediately lightly touched the ground with her toes and, amidst the guards' screams, flew up to the gate of Zhennan Camp.

Just before they were about to fire their arrows, she jumped down from the gate and said to General Hua, whose eyes were sharp and who was about to make his move, "General Hua, I am a good friend of Brother Murong. I have a special request for you. Please send troops to our aid immediately. If we are even a moment late, something terrible may happen!"

Murong Run of Baihua County got engaged to Hua Rou of General Hua's family the year before last, and the two got married last year.

Ayu didn't receive a wedding invitation, but her family wrote to her to let her know.

Upon hearing his son-in-law's name, General Hua raised his hand, signaling not to resort to violence.

"Who are you, and why have you come to my Zhennan Camp? Do you know that this is the Ministry of War's garrison, not a military camp?"

Although the Ministry of War is in charge of military affairs, they themselves do not send troops out; they are all trusted confidants under the emperor's nose. General Hua's Zhennan Camp is mainly responsible for guarding the southern part of the city and preventing riots and other incidents. Ayu nodded: "General Hua, there is no time to explain too much. I know you are a fair person and would not disregard the lives of the people."

Under General Hua's questioning gaze, Ayu continued, "As for who I am, please allow me to explain later. Now, there is a quarry twenty miles south of the city, where more than three hundred people are buried. General Hua, please send troops to rescue them immediately. By the way, if you could bring along the skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Works, perhaps you could reduce the casualties."

"Young lady, do you know the consequences of lying to me!" General Hua narrowed his eyes, and after saying this, he didn't ask any more questions, but immediately gave the order, "All soldiers, listen to my command! Gather three hundred soldiers and immediately head to the quarry twenty miles to the south to rescue the people!"

"Yes!"

Then, General Hua went next door and, in front of all the officials of the Ministry of Works, took away all the shovels, hoes, winnowing baskets, and other items there. A group of soldiers carried the items and ran away as fast as they could.

The people from the Ministry of Works were dumbfounded: "General Hua, what do you mean by this?"

General Hua glanced at them and then ordered, "Take them away too!"

Ministry of Works official: "!!!"

Are they here to ransack the place?!

General Hua was swift and decisive; in no time, everything was arranged, and the first batch of soldiers had already set off.

He then looked at Ayu: "Little girl, come with me."

Without saying a word, Ayu jumped onto the lamb's back and quickly ran in front of General Hua's warhorse.

General Hua was taken aback, then quickly spurred his horse and followed.

Half an hour later, the panting Prefect of Wanning arrived with his entourage, only to learn that General Hua had already left.

"The general has already marched away and is probably already at the mine," the guard said.

The prefect was shocked: "Who delivered the message to General Hua?"

He initially went to the palace, but halfway there he heard that the ministers were discussing important matters with the emperor and were probably too busy to summon him.

By the time they are summoned, it will be too late.

He made up his mind that General Hua, who wouldn't budge without a royal decree, was difficult to persuade, so he could only resort to tantrums and shamelessness.

The guard on the left replied, "It was a little girl who rushed here to deliver the message."

He didn't mention that the girl claimed to be a good friend of the general's son-in-law, so as not to cause trouble for the two of them.

The prefect went to the Ministry of Works next door, intending to borrow some tools, but found them looking as if they had been robbed.

Upon seeing the prefect, they said irritably, "What's wrong, Prefect? ​​What else do you want to steal? You might as well take our Ministry of Works' plaque too!"

The Prefect: "..." Sorry to bother you.

Meanwhile, Lu Yu ran into Qin Huai on the way. Suppressing his embarrassment, Lu Yu quickly told Qin Huai what had happened, adding, "I've heard that the retainers of the Duke of Yong's mansion are quite skilled, especially adept at rescuing people—"

Lu Yu hadn't held out much hope, after all, there was still some awkwardness between him and Qin Huai.

He was planning to become the other party's page, but before he even became a page, he was already asking for favors.

Unexpectedly, Qin Huai breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and said, "Alright."

If Ayu left because of this, at least her safety is guaranteed.

Coincidentally, there was a guard surnamed Chi in that quarry.

Her name was Akago, and she was his only female bodyguard.

Because after the death of the previous Red Dog, the other guards either felt that the title was unlucky or were not very proactive in vying for it.

After she arrived, she defeated a host of competitors and became the new Akainu.

Chi Jia was afraid that she would rise to power too easily and lack the necessary skills, so he sent her to the mine to hone her abilities.

All the guards of the Chi clan had secretly met Ayu, and they did so once a year, so as not to forget what she looked like and not recognize her.

Qin Huai said to the stunned Lu Yu, "Let's go together."
