The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 660 Secret Army
"The people from that village who caused trouble have all been moved away. The village should be sealed off now. Since we found traces of military gathering there, those people may have been living in seclusion there for several years. We must not act rashly."

While Qin Huai was accompanying A Yu in her search for truffles, his men suddenly came to report that a large army was gathering on the other side of the mountain.

Whether Qin Huai has revealed his identity as a prince or his identity as A Yu's fiancé, he must address this potential threat.

Today, Hujia Village is thriving, not only radiating its influence to the surrounding villages, but also giving the entire Wangbei County a hint of becoming a major county.

Ordinary people would only feel envious when they see the current state of Hujia Village and want to come and learn from their experience or join them. But if the army were there, they would definitely investigate the surrounding area.

Especially now that Hujia Village is so lively, hundreds or even thousands of people come to Hujia Village from all over the world every day, including migrant workers from the surrounding areas, peddlers, merchants, and so on. It can be said to be a mixed bag, and it is not so difficult for a few people to sneak in.

Although Qin Huai left manpower behind, and there were also Master Wan, Master Luo, Xue Shisan and others to help keep watch, and many young and strong men in the village patrolled, they could deal with ordinary people, but dealing with soldiers would be a big problem.

It is unknown who leads that secret army, but the fact that they were able to conduct drills there so quietly, without the Empress Qin informing him, suggests that they are an unregistered entity and must have ill intentions.

“Young Master, you are about to return to the capital. We must resolve this matter as soon as possible, otherwise we will be late for our return. Old Madam Wang will surely notice, and others will likely find out as well, which may cause panic,” Chi Jia said. “Why don’t we leave this matter to me and inform Madam? Once she sends someone else, it should be much easier to resolve.”

Although his young master has grown up, he is still a boy, and Chi Jia secretly does not want him to get involved to avoid any danger.

Qin Huai glanced at him and said, "Chi Jia, you've overstepped your bounds."

"I know my mistake."

"Don't worry, by the time we go to check, her people will have already reported back to her." Qin Huai thought of A Yu again, and she was more worried about A Yu and the Wang family. "Bring people from Nanhe Town over to protect the Wang family first."

"Yes."

"I'm not leaving tonight; I'll wait here for your news."

"Yes."

After Chi Jia left, Qin Huai did not go out immediately. Although his martial arts had greatly improved, he would not be able to win against a large group of people.

He's made of flesh and blood, not a god. He'd have a hard time even fighting ten people, let alone a hundred or a thousand.

Just then, Ayu's voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Brother Ayou, are you asleep?"

Qin Huai quickly took off his night clothes and then immediately put on his undergarments.

"Brother Ayou?"

"Yes." Qin Huai hurriedly put on his coat, opened the door, and saw A Yu dressed in night clothes, staring intently at him.

Ayu glanced at Qin Huai's unbuttoned shirt and whispered, "Are you asleep? Then go to sleep." "Wait a minute," Qin Huai stepped forward, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I noticed something strange behind the mountain today, and Little Sheep wanted to take me to check it out. I was thinking if you weren't asleep, we could go together, but since you're asleep, I'll go by myself. It'll be more convenient for Little Sheep to take me."

"Everyone in the family is already asleep; they won't find out."

Qin Huai immediately ripped open his coat, picked up his still-unpacked night clothes from the side, and put them on neatly: "Let's go."

Ayu: "..."

The two remaining guards: "..." Young master, do you remember what you said to Chief Chi?

Ayu didn't want to hide it from Qin Huai, after all, among the people she knew, only Qin Huai would follow her unconditionally.

The little lamb followed, and its other lambs wanted to join in too. But the little lamb tilted its head, and the lambs were so frightened that they retreated back into the sheepfold.

The two people and the sheep did not follow the road in Shanyang Village, but instead entered from the back mountain and went around another mountain.

Although there was still a moon in the sky, there was almost no light around them as they traversed mountains and valleys. The two of them took out a luminous pearl at the same time, which barely illuminated the road ahead.

Ayu originally wanted to take the light, but Tuanzi said she was afraid of scaring Qin Huai and told her to be careful, so she could only take a luminous pearl the size of an ostrich egg instead.

Qin Huai glanced at the luminous pearl several times, but ultimately refrained from asking. Even the Great Chang royal family probably didn't have such a large luminous pearl.

Moreover, it was obvious that Ayu's pockets were too big to hold everything.

傻。

"It's too heavy, I'll carry it." Qin Huai swapped the egg-sized luminous pearl in his hand with A Yu's.

As they crossed the mountain, the two moved in perfect unison, throwing the luminous pearls they held into a pit and covering them with leaves.

Two little heads were perched behind a rock, and the little lamb followed suit, placing its fluffy head on it as well.

"So many people are practicing with torches at night, what are they trying to do?"

Qin Huai said calmly, "Let's rebel."
