Chapter 761 Predicting Earthquakes

The matter was of great importance, so Ayu immediately went to Prince Xiaoyao: "Uncle Ashu, do you have a map here?"

The Carefree King: "Yes, I will send someone to fetch it."

Ayu: "There's no time to waste, just take me to see it!"

Geographical maps are extremely important strategic materials. The more detailed the map, the higher its value. In some countries, due to insufficient resources, it is necessary to pay a great price to obtain one.

So when they learned that Ayu wanted to see the map, the garrison commanders of the Prince of Xiaoyao were somewhat displeased: "Your Highness, this is not child's play. If we rely on the laws of Dachang—"

"According to Article 634 of the Da Chang Code, in times of crisis, generals may urgently divert military supplies. Article 107 stipulates that officials of the seventh rank and above may survey geomantic maps." Ayu said solemnly, her voice righteous and stern, "General, is it that my rank as the Commander of the Astrological Bureau is insufficient, or that my status as Lord Yuxiang is unworthy, or that His Majesty's personally appointed Inspector is not qualified?"

Not to mention those generals, even the carefree prince was stunned for a moment.

When has Ayu ever been so fierce?
No one dared to speak anymore. Ayu had already gone to get the map she needed, spread it out, and quickly began to look at it.

The generals exchanged bewildered glances and mouthed, "This young master can read maps?"

The others shook their heads and scoffed, "How could that be?"

This is a high-quality military map, unlike the crudely made ones available on the market, and the markings are also different.

Maybe she just thought it would be fun and wanted to use the identity for something new.

“This is Woye County, which is more than 870 li away from here, right?” Ayu pointed with her finger and stretched it forward. “I have seen the Dachang Map. If we judge from this map, further ahead, there is a natural barrier called Baili Valley, which lies between Woye County and Yuecheng, which is a thousand li away.”

Before they could speak, Ayu continued, "Rumor has it that there's a sect in Baili Valley with countless members. And on both sides of the chasm, there are several villages and towns, with a population of at least over 100,000—"

"Lord Wang... Oh, Lord Yuxiang, what exactly are you trying to say?" a general with blond hair asked. "What does this place, hundreds of miles away, have to do with us?"

Ayu ignored him and looked up outside. When she heard footsteps, she continued, "If an earthquake occurs here, the natural barrier may shift, and the surrounding mountains will be affected. The people must evacuate as soon as possible. In addition, horses and vehicles should be arranged to collect supplies along the way, as they will definitely be in short supply."

She had just finished speaking when she saw Xie Zhen rushing over, his face covered in sweat as if he had been drenched in water.

Autumn has arrived, and everyone is dressed more warmly, but Xie Zhen is drenched in sweat.

"Commander, you wanted to see me?"

Ayu pointed to the map and said, "Look, if an earthquake happens here, what else might happen in the surrounding area? I'm afraid I've missed something. Also, in the past, we had to prepare a list of supplies after an earthquake. Quickly write it down, make several copies, and distribute them promptly." Xie Zhen was stunned. Why was an earthquake being mentioned all of a sudden?
Where was the earthquake?
“Lord Yuxiang, you mustn’t be joking like that. An earthquake is no joke; it can kill a lot of people! In the history of Dachang, there have only been a few major earthquakes, each resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people!” General Huangfa said. “Don’t tell anyone else what you’re saying, or you could be held accountable for the entire clan!”

The carefree prince did not question it, but instead asked, "How did you know that?"

Ayu: "Uncle Ashu, you've already forgotten what I just said? I'm from the Astronomical Bureau. We specialize in this kind of thing. Measuring an earthquake is nothing to be surprised about."

The others instinctively looked at Xie Zhen, whose mouth was even wider than theirs, but adhering to the principle that even if his own people were in trouble, he had to take the blame, he nodded firmly.

"Yes! That's what we in the Department of Astrology do. Just listen to us."

After speaking, Xie Zhen immediately made arrangements. For those who were difficult to manage, he immediately replaced them with those who were obedient.

Chitu and Chiding are now free and have been pulled over to copy down the instructions.

As for the carefree king, he also fully cooperated with Ayu.

Because the distance along the route is thousands of miles, even if they travel day and night, it will still take them three to five days to arrive, and that would be the fastest they could go.

If enough supplies are to be collected to cope with the initial outbreak, it will take at least six or seven days to arrive. By then, the earthquake will have already occurred, and the casualties will be unknown.

Just then, the eagle came to deliver the message again, so Ayu simply rode on the eagle and asked it to take her to Baili Valley to see what was going on there.

Wang Wulang and the others wanted to follow, but the eagle absolutely refused, kicking each one who came.

Helpless, Ayu could only hurriedly leave behind the words: "We'll meet outside Baili Valley then, and I'll give you a signal!"

This incident caused quite a stir, even reaching the people of Jiangsai City. The newly arrived "official" had actually predicted the earthquake and was going to the earthquake site to rescue the people.

This shocked and moved them.

Upon hearing this, Shi Zhou and the others immediately began to count their men and headed towards where A Yu was.

"Whether Ayu is Ruanruan's child or not is another matter, but there is absolutely no doubt that she is of royal blood from the Western Wind Kingdom. We, the people of the Western Wind Kingdom, will protect her!"
