The beloved baby has a space

Wang Wulang galloped back to Jiangsai City in no time, where the soldiers guarding the city greeted him with great enthusiasm.

Wang Wulang: "Where is Lord Yuxiang?"

The garrison commander replied, "It should be in Dongtianli."

Jiangsai is now divided into four regions: east, south, west, and north. The eastern part mainly consists of reclaimed farmland.

Wang Wulang dismounted, casually tossing the reins to his adjutant beside him, and hurried eastward. Along the way, some people recognized him and would politely call him "Young General Wang," but Wang Wulang didn't bother to respond, only nodding slightly before rushing on.

When he arrived at Dongtian, he immediately spotted Ayu—she was so conspicuous surrounded by the crowd.

The farmer, who had been transformed by the system, stood respectfully to one side, looking like an ordinary old farmer, except that he lacked the honesty in his eyes and had a wooden expression, neither sad nor happy.

Ayu was being surrounded by a real farmer asking her questions when she suddenly heard Tuanzi in the space say to her, "Your fifth brother is here."

Ayu said to the farmer, "Uncle, you should ask the farmer about these things; he knows more about them than I do."

After saying that, she slipped out of the crowd and came to Wang Wulang.

"Ayu!" Wang Wulang's eyes lit up. He looked Ayu up and down and breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness, she hasn't lost much weight or become haggard. My butt is saved."

Otherwise, if his grandmother and mother found out, he would probably get a beating.

"Fifth Brother." Ayu also looked Wang Wulang up and down, and pouted, "How come you've gotten so dark? You're almost as dark as a lump of coal."

Wang Wulang: "...Your brother is going to lead troops into battle, not to go sightseeing. This is called manhood, don't you understand?"

"Mmm-hmm." Ayu nodded perfunctorily, thinking to herself that her eldest brother had also traveled all over the country, but he still looked like a scholar and wasn't very dark-skinned, while her fifth brother had gotten darker quickly.

The brother and sister didn't really care, but after a few casual words, Wang Wulang already knew about Ayu's affairs in Yuecheng, but when he saw her, he couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Ayu was always talkative, and when she met Wang Wulang, she poured out her heart to him like beans.

Hearing that she received the "Umbrella of Ten Thousand People" before her departure, Wang Wulang gasped in surprise.

He is no longer the Wang Wulang of the past; he knows a lot of things now, including the importance of the "Umbrella of Ten Thousand People".

"I thought I was already quite remarkable to be promoted to junior general in just a few months, but I never expected that you would receive a 'Ten Thousand People's Umbrella' during your disaster relief efforts. I wonder if the disaster relief governor sent by the court will be dissatisfied." Wang Wulang used to not care about these intricacies, but now that he was determined to make a name for himself, he naturally knew quite a bit. Ayu shook her head: "The governor sent by the court is from Brother Ayou's family. He is very kind and easy to talk to. Later, on my way back, I even received a letter from him that he specially delivered to me with some instructions. He is a good official."

If the governor hadn't been truly capable, they wouldn't have been able to proceed so smoothly in Yuecheng.

Historically, it has never been an easy task for honest officials to carry out disaster relief work, as they inevitably encounter obstacles from all sides. It can be said that they were blessed by heaven and earth to be able to do so smoothly.

Ayu is young but has encountered many things, and with Tuanzi gathering information everywhere and compiling it into tutorials for her, how could she not grow?

She's just happy to be an innocent child, giving everyone room to pamper her.

The brother and sister returned to the Protectorate together and rested for a few days. Then someone came to report that the leaders of the eight tribes had sent a letter.

Before Ayu could even process what the Eight Tribes Leaders were, she saw Wang Wulang cough a few times with an unnatural expression.

Ayu: "Fifth Brother, have you caught a cold? Why are you coughing so badly?"

An insider nearby laughed and said, "Your Excellency may not know this, but the former Miss Shui Miao, with the help of General Wang, has completely taken control of the eight tribes and become their leader. The current state of Jiang Sai is inseparable from the contributions of Lord Shui Miao."

Such a thing actually happened. Before Ayu could ask for details, they heard footsteps outside. A group of people carrying large boxes had arrived at the Protectorate.

The governor was quite an eccentric. He was the one who let these people carrying the boxes in. Seeing that Ayu was already resting in the inner hall, he specially explained to her, "Your Highness, it's quite a coincidence. I just ran into Lord Shuimiao's men outside. They said they came to propose marriage to you."

Wang Wulang spat out a mouthful of tea: "What? Propose to whom? My Ayu is already engaged!"

He slammed his hand on the table, his face turning red with anger, and drew the knife from his waist with a whoosh.

The governor remained calm and continued, "General Wang, don't be anxious. It's not about proposing marriage to Lord Yuxiang. It's Lord Shuimiao who asked Lord Yuxiang to make the decision to propose marriage to you."

Now it was Ayu's turn to spit out her tea with a "pfft".

"...I'm sorry."

She simply couldn't resist.
