The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 661 Being Taught a Lesson

Ayu and Qin Huai had a great understanding; they could know what the other wanted to do without saying much.

For example, right now, Ayu quietly bent down and tiptoed around a few bushes, and Qin Huai had already taken out his dagger and pried open the vines next to her.

They can see each other's actions at this moment, but they are not actually close. If they want to get any closer, they will have to risk being discovered.

Ayu wanted to get closer, so she took advantage of her small size and weaved through the bushes. Qin Huai followed closely behind, clearing a path for her.

They didn't even ask her why.

As for the remaining guards, they could only work hard and help clean up the mess, covering up their tracks as much as possible so that no one would find out that they were two children.

just in case.

"Elf, I've noticed that this place is so big, but there aren't any quests?"

Yes, but it's not important. Just be careful and don't worry about anything else.

Tuanzi glanced at the words "Main Quest - Destroy the Rebel Organization" and ignored them.

Just kidding, how old is the kid?
Such a huge mission, even if we found hundreds of elite agents, they might not be able to complete it. Sending a kid to do it? Of course not.

Even though it protects its cubs and won't let them get hurt, what if they get a scrape? Or get scared?

It only told the cub because it saw that Qin Huai's people had discovered the situation there and was afraid that the cub would be tricked if it didn't know anything. But that doesn't mean it was willing to let the cub risk its life.

Just try it out, treat it as a fun trip.

As for what happens next, the Empress will definitely not ignore this matter. She is such a dedicated and responsible person that she will protect the safety of her people both publicly and privately.

"No?" Ayu was puzzled for a moment, then put the matter aside, and then poked Qin Huai and made a gesture to him.

It means to make him stay where he is and wait for me.

Qin Huai shook his head, held up two fingers, and gestured for them to walk together.

Ayu mouthed, "Okay, then stick close to me."

It was a dark and windy night, and Qin Huai couldn't see clearly, but he guessed what A Yu was going to say, so he nodded and followed.

Qin Huai's lightness skill was excellent, ranking him in the middle among the Red Guards.

If he had focused on martial arts and trained for another four or five years, he might have been able to rank among the top-tier (A, B, C, D).

After passing through the bushes, the two went around to a place where there was no moonlight. Ayu then let the lamb lead the way. She tied a rope to the lamb, held the rope in one hand, and took Qin Huai's hand with the other, and continued walking forward.

The two climbed over the small hill in front of them and stopped there. The lamb also stopped where it was and shook its head.

About forty or fifty paces away from them, two men were on guard duty. Because they were still some distance from the main camp, they were not particularly vigilant while on guard duty.

Ayu patted the lamb's back, and the lamb walked forward while grazing.

Soon, the two lookouts heard a commotion, which grew louder and louder.

"who?!"

They raised their weapons and reached for torches from the side.

One of them shouted, "Stop!"

The commotion didn't stop; instead, it surged forward even faster.

"Quickly notify the boss, there's an enemy attack—" the man on the left shouted, then charged forward with his spear.

The person on the right was just about to run when he suddenly felt himself being lifted into the air and plummeting rapidly down the mountain.

"what!"

Those not far away also heard it and immediately shouted in panic, "Enemy attack!"

The news spread quickly, and soon people rushed over with torches. However, they were extremely cautious, and most people simply adopted a defensive stance without moving.

The person who was first knocked down the mountain was already unconscious, while another person, seeing his companion injured, was just about to fight back when he also felt himself being hit hard and was sent flying down as well.

More people ran over, but because it was a small hill, it was difficult for them to run, so even more people were hit and thrown into the ravine, their fate unknown.

More and more people arrived, so Ayu and Qin Huai moved to a more secluded tree to stay under, and even squeezed out the spot that was originally occupied by a bodyguard.

When Ayu turned around, she found a furry thing next to her. Turning her head, she saw that it was a lamb.

The little lamb, as if seeking praise, buried its head in Ayu's arms.

Ayu was startled. The lamb was here, but what was that running amok?
She originally intended for the lamb to distract those people so they could get closer amidst the chaos, but the effect has exceeded her expectations.

Not long after, a wolf howl rang out, and everyone in the base camp gasped: "How could there be wolves?!"

They are numerous and naturally not afraid of wolves, but when the wolf pack comes, some people will definitely be attacked, and no one wants to be the unlucky one.

More torches were lit at headquarters, and more people were sent out to fight the mysterious attackers.

In less than fifteen minutes, a pack of wolves arrived, numbering forty or fifty in total. Without hesitation, they charged toward the main camp.

"The boy is crying wolf!"

"Get back to defense quickly!"

While fighting off the wolf pack, the group returned to defend their base camp.

This base camp was recently established by them. Previously, it was hidden underground, but due to the large number of training needs, they had to move it to the surface.

Unexpectedly, the wolves went straight for their underground fortifications.

Screams could be heard from below every now and then.

Because there were so many torches, Ayu could see everything clearly below, and her mouth never stopped agape.

"Can this still happen?"

Qin Huai: "..." It's time to consider raising wolves.

An hour later, the entire base camp was in a mess, with about twenty wolf corpses lying on the ground and a group of people howling in pain.

Fearing further trouble, they dared not even utter a loud wail.

Besides the wolf carcasses, there were also two enormous wild boars, each weighing nearly four or five hundred pounds. Being hit by such a behemoth would likely have shattered their internal organs.

"Well-trained soldiers, intimidated by two wild boars and a pack of wolves?!" A furious voice came from a tent set up in the main camp.

"You still have the nerve to call it an enemy attack?! If I saw a goat, would I have to scream for help?!"

Someone said in a trembling voice, "Boss, at first it was just two wild boars causing trouble, but those wolves were really ferocious, it was like they were deliberately coming this way to us."

Someone else, clutching their severed arm, said, "Boss, we didn't get a good result with them last time. Do you think it might be because of them..."

"You mean those bastards from the Youlong Clan?" the leader sneered. "They've even lost their Holy Dragon, and who knows which deity they've offended. Their lair was turned upside down by a woman in black, and now they're nothing. Even if they had a hundred lives, they wouldn't dare to mess with us!"

Someone else said, "Could it be that Hu Family Village? I heard they raise all sorts of wild animals, maybe even a wild boar—"

"Can't you use your brain? Huh?" The eldest brother was even more furious and kicked the person who spoke a long way away. "The people of Hu Family Village have a grudge against wild boars. They even kill any baby boars they see. How could they possibly control wild boars? I told you to hang around in the village more often and learn how to be clever. But instead, you came back with a stupid attitude!"

"In Hu Family Village, people either farm, raise silkworms, or make sugar. The only one who seems to have some skill is that Mr. Blood who teaches how to catch wild boars, but he's too dull and there's really nothing to learn from him." The subordinate said aggrievedly, "Boss, I was just making a reasonable guess."

The eldest brother rubbed his forehead: "Alright, hurry up and go out and tidy up. The lord will be here in two days. Do you want me to tell the lord that we don't have any enemies here, but we've been ruined by wild boars?!"

"Yes……"

At this moment, Ayu and Qin Huai, who had already secretly climbed up the big tree outside the tent, exchanged a glance.

Ayu mouthed, "Are you sure this is a bad guy?"

Or is he a bad guy who's been lying low for years? This doesn't seem like the kind of person he is.

Qin Huai remained silent.

Taking advantage of the chaos, they knocked out two men and stole their clothes. They originally intended to change into them, but Ayu was too small, and the clothes looked like a theatrical costume on her. So they gave them to the two guards surnamed Chi to wear, so that they could provide cover along the way. That's how they managed to sneak up to the tent.

One of the guards even took the time to check out the underground fortifications and found that they had almost hollowed out the entire mountain. Inside, there were many weapons, and even a weapons manufacturing workshop, which looked to have been there for at least three or four years.

Besides these two, they also encountered Chi Jia and Chi Tu in disguise. When they met, both sides were stunned for a moment.

Red Armor immediately rearranged things, leaving two people behind to cover for the two of them.

One of the people who were in the tent just now was Red Hare in disguise, and he is still in the tent.

After arriving here, Ayu pretended to be a spectator and got Tuanzi to help her gather a lot of information, including the number of people currently stationed here and the information that people let slip. By putting these together, she roughly knew what this place was like.

After all that work, it was almost dawn, so Qin Huai quickly led Ayu to retreat.

After daybreak, many traces could no longer be concealed, making it impossible to hide at close range.

Moreover, the Wang family members are about to wake up.

Just as they were about to leave, someone suddenly shouted, "Assassin!"

Someone inside the tent immediately shouted, "Seal off all the roads! Don't let them out!"

"Yes!"

Unlike the wolf attack, everyone was serious this time, drawing their weapons and immediately going to fight.

Sure enough, a group of men in black descended from the sky and engaged the group in battle.

Amidst the flashing swords, Ayu suddenly felt a tightness in her wrist as she was violently pulled away from Qin Huai, her mouth covered.

"Ah—" In his anxiety, Qin Huai almost called out A Yu's name, and he immediately took off after her.

Red Armor and Red Hare followed closely behind, completely disregarding the battle, and all withdrew from the scene.

Only then did he realize that his lightness skill was still somewhat inferior to that of Chi Jia and the others, but he still chased after the man in black ahead with sheer determination.

The man in black was skilled in light-footed martial arts, but for some reason, he always had to stop and rest. When he saw that the man in red armor was about to catch up, he would immediately gather his energy and escape.

After chasing each other for a while, they arrived at the waterfall on the back mountain.

The man in black leaned against a tree, panting heavily with one hand on his waist, while Ayu patted his back to help him catch his breath.

Red Armor and Red Hare had already drawn their weapons, but upon seeing this scene, they almost stopped themselves from wielding them.

Chi Jia: "?"

"Miss Ayu?"

Ayu quickly replied, "I'll tell you later."

After a while, Qin Huai finally arrived. He forced himself to catch up, and his legs were trembling. But he still managed to say, "Ayu, don't be afraid, I'm coming to save you."

"Hmph!" The man in black sneered, pulled off his mask, and looked at Qin Huai's drastically changed expression, his tone mocking, "Who are you going to save?"

Qin Huai's legs finally gave way, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Grandma."

"Brother Ayou!" Ayu was worried about Qin Huai and wanted to go see him, but was stopped by Old Mrs. Wang.

"Don't move unless you want to kneel down with him."

Ayu dared not move and stood obediently beside Old Mrs. Wang.

Grandma Wang finally caught her breath and pulled Ayu to sit down on a nearby rock. She stared at Qin Huai and said, "Qin Huai, I thought you were a sensible person, which is why I felt comfortable letting Ayu marry you. But what you did today has disappointed me greatly!"

Qin Huai kept his head down and remained silent.

"Madam, actually—"

"Hmm?" Old Mrs. Wang glanced over, and Chi Jia immediately dared not say a word.

The old lady was clearly angry at this moment.

“That’s fine. It’s one thing for you to be playful and mischievous on a daily basis, but even if the sky falls, I can cover for you and it won’t matter. But what about now?” Old Mrs. Wang looked at Ayu beside her, wanting to say something harsh, but she couldn’t bring herself to say it. She could only say, “Do you know that if you lose your lives, even if I turn this mountain upside down and grind those people to dust, what good will it do?!”

Moreover, she is old, and just tonight, upon hearing the news, she rushed over to save people, which almost cost her her life, not to mention anything else.

She didn't even want to think about what would happen to Ayu right under her nose!
Ayu whispered, "Grandma, we'll be alright, we're planning to go home..."

"Naive," sighed Old Mrs. Wang. "Do you even know who the other party is?"
