The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 791 Let’s start again

Qin Huai took Ayu to have a meal, and Prefect Cheng also met Cheng Yuhe.

Facing her father, Cheng Yuhe didn't show much emotion. She simply bowed and prepared to leave.

Prefect Cheng hurriedly called out to her, "Stop! Why are you in such a disheveled state?"

Cheng Yuhe said calmly, "My daughter is fine. Go and wash up first."

Magistrate Cheng frowned, about to say something more, but Cheng Yuhe had already left.

Watching her leave, Prefect Cheng shook his head and said to a servant beside him, "Go and inform the Madam and Second Concubine that Yuhe has arrived home safely, and tell them to bring everyone back."

"Yes."

When Cheng Yuhe went missing, Prefect Cheng didn't dare to make a big fuss about finding her. Instead, his wife and concubine were extremely anxious.

Send out all the people who can be sent out.

He assumed his daughter had met with some misfortune.

Fortunately, the person is still alive.

She's clearly encountered something, but she doesn't intend to tell him now, and it's hard to say whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Prefect Cheng sighed.

Oh well, I've been a muddle-headed official for half my life, so what's wrong with being muddle-headed for a while longer?
Meanwhile, Ayu dismissed everyone and dined with Qin Huai in a side hall.

Qin Huai didn't eat much at all; he spent most of his time serving food to A Yu.

"Eat it yourself, don't worry about me."

After Ayu finished eating, she watched Qin Huai eat until he finished two bowls of rice before she had the food removed.

After everyone had left, Ayu took out a seal about three fingers wide from her sleeve and handed it to Qin Huai.

She briefly recounted the events of the underground city, then added, "This seal is one I brought out from there. The governor's daughter deciphered the key on the altar, and this was the only seal inside, as it was the key to the treasure vault."

With the key in hand, all that's missing is the treasure map. Once you combine the two, you can obtain the treasure.

Qin Huai took it, glanced at it a few times, and then handed it to Ayu.

"Do you want it?" Ayu wasn't very interested in the treasure.

Not to mention that Tuanzi could give her an endless amount of money, even the money that her grandmother and mother had earned and stored in her own space was already quite a lot.

Any more than that, and it's not money, it's a disaster.

"Take it," Qin Huai said, showing even less interest.

He lacks everything except wealth.

So when the weary General Hua finally found the two of them, he was given a seal.

There's even a treasure map that Tuanzi kindly included as a bonus.

General Hua: "? What is this?"

Ayu: "Oh, this is the money that the rebels of the previous dynasty amassed to start their rebellion. This is the key."

General Hua: "..."

Fortunately, he was a military officer with a steady hand; otherwise, the seal would have fallen to the ground.

General Hua's eyes held a complex expression. He didn't love money, but he was a military general.

A military general's wealth came half from the imperial court and half from spoils of war.

General Hua looked at Qin Huai and A Yu, wanting to talk about something serious, but seeing their youthful faces, he couldn't bring himself to continue.

Sigh, they're still just two kids.

It's all because they are too outstanding and efficient in their work that he always forgets they are still young people who should be having fun.

General Hua: "If you give it to me, aren't you afraid I'll pocket it?"

"It's nothing important, General. If you like it, you can take it." Ayu smiled sweetly. "It's just that the location of the treasure is a bit dangerous and will take some trouble. If you don't mind the trouble, that's fine too."

General Hua simply stuffed the seal into his pocket: "I'm too lazy to go."

Go back and hand it over to the Emperor. He's already made enough money; if it's not enough, he'll ask the Emperor for more.

He was just a military officer, not someone who was truly brainless. He could keep some money for himself, but he had to hand over some money.

Seeing this, Ayu and Qin Huai didn't say anything more.

Putting the matter of the seal aside for the time being, we then went on to talk about what had happened in the past two days.

The trip was originally intended to give the two children some exercise, and no one took the Third Prince seriously.

As for the remnants of the previous dynasty, after all these years, only scattered soldiers remain, no longer posing a threat.

"You've just returned, you should rest well. You're at the age where you need to grow." General Hua wouldn't let Ayu get involved in anything else, and nudged her away with his sword. "If you really get tired out there, my daughter will definitely nag you when you get back."

Thinking of Hua Rou, A Yu smiled too.

"it is good."

After she left, Qin Huai did not leave, and then discussed the next steps with General Hua.

Anyway, once the rebels are all taken down, we need to act swiftly and decisively to wipe out their tails.

To avoid them constantly popping up and annoying people.

This time, Ayu was almost hurt, so Qin Huai had no intention of letting it go peacefully.

He only regretted that he was still too young. If he had two more years, he would have more manpower at his disposal and could have slaughtered that group of people alive! Qin Huai concealed the cold light in his eyes and said to General Hua, "There is a lot of chaos in Fengming City. Let's take this opportunity to resolve it all at once, so as to share the burden for His Majesty."

I just wanted to vent my anger.

General Hua, without suspicion, nodded: "Alright."

Instead of going back to rest, Ayu went to find Prefect Cheng, who was filled with anxiety.

"Lord Yuxiang." When Prefect Cheng saw Ayu, he addressed her not by her current status, but by her noble status.

They harbored the intention of getting closer to him.

"Prefect Cheng, are you really completely unaware of all the things that have happened in Fengming City?" Ayu was seated in the main seat, picked up her hot tea, took a small sip, and then asked.

Prefect Cheng thought to himself that the person in front of him was not easy to deal with, but he smiled apologetically and said, "It's all my fault for being incompetent."

He would have said anything else he needed to say before; now, it's wise to be pragmatic.

We can't possibly survive the treacherous officials and then fall now.

But demotion is inevitable.

“Prefect Cheng, although you are incompetent, I see that you still have a heart of loyalty to the emperor and love for the country. I have a good plan here. Would you like to hear it?” Ayu said.

Prefect Cheng hurriedly stood up and bowed, not feeling at all that there was anything wrong with him groveling before a young girl.

"I hope you can give me some guidance, Mr. Yuxiang."

[Baby, Magistrate Cheng's favorability towards you has increased.]

[Since some students are still trapped in the ancient city, the mission to rescue them was only considered partially successful. Fortunately, the reward buff for increasing student trust has already taken effect.]

I've compiled a relationship chart of the major and minor factions in Phoenix Cry City; you can take a look.

While listening to Tuanzi's words, Ayu also watched Prefect Cheng's reaction.

She glanced at the relationship diagram a few times, memorized all the contents, and quickly came up with an idea.

“Prefect Cheng, more than half of the students in Fengming City have been harmed by underhanded means, and some are no longer worthy of their positions.”

Ayu took out a list from her bosom. Of course, she didn't have time to write it herself; it was Tuanzi who copied her handwriting.

She handed the list to Prefect Cheng and said sincerely, "You have been in Fengming City for many years, so you must know better how to deal with these people. In addition, I have discovered an ancient city this time, and some things inside may not be suitable for public display. I will also trouble Prefect Cheng to have someone handle them."

Prefect Cheng was startled: "What ancient city?"

Ayu briefly explained where to go in the ancient city.

"How can we possibly go there?" Prefect Cheng was already in a headache when he heard that it was in Fengming Mountain.

Fengming Mountain is very high and wide, with a very complex terrain. The rocks in the mountain are also exceptionally hard, and ordinary stonemasons have to put in a lot of effort to carve out even a small hole.

Their quarries in Fengming City source their quarries from other places.

If there's an ancient city inside, then it's quite possible.

But how do we get there?

"Don't worry about that. I can provide the powerful remedy to blast a path through the ancient city. No problem."

Prefect Cheng felt like his jaw was about to drop to the ground.

Ten days later, a sound as loud as thunder suddenly came from Fengming Mountain, which is adjacent to Fengming City, and even the ground of the entire Fengming City shook.

The people had been notified in advance that something was going to happen, but they were still panicked. Many people shouted "The earth is turning over!" and ran away.

But they were quickly appeased by the people sent by Prefect Cheng.

A huge hole was blown open in the underground ancient city of Fengming City, and an ancient city that had been sleeping for an unknown period of time was finally revealed to the world once again.

During these ten days, Prefect Cheng led the investigation and confiscation of many officials' and merchants' homes, and also uncovered a large number of hidden spies by following the clues of the students of Fengming Academy.

Because Ayu had a "buff" that made the students trust her, the students not only didn't cause trouble, but also took the lead in cooperating.

Many of these acts of filial piety, where sons sacrificed their own families for the greater good, left the people of Fengming City with mixed feelings.

It is worth mentioning that when Prefect Cheng's daughter, Cheng Yuhe, was exposed as a woman disguised as a man, surprisingly, there were no major setbacks.

With Ayu's support, starting from Fengming City, female students began to enter various academies, schools, and private schools in the city, causing a trend of girls enrolling in schools.

Because no students raised any objections, the few dissenting voices were all suppressed by the filial sons.

The matter of enrolling the girl in school was thus initiated with great ease.

However, what will happen next remains to be seen.

"Yu Xiangjun, rest assured, I will carry on your aspirations and never let any ambitious woman be forced back home again!" Cheng Yuhe, now dressed as a female student, visited A Yu many times to express her admiration.

When Cheng Yuhe learned that Ayu had always wanted to open a girls' academy, she took it as her life's ambition.

He is currently studying at Fengming Academy, and when he has the ability in the future, he will open a girls' academy.

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye. General Hua has thoroughly quelled the chaos in Fengming City and several surrounding cities. With the rebellion over and the area gradually returning to its former harmony, the region is no longer plagued by rebel forces.

The army regrouped and prepared to return to the capital, but Ayu and Qin Huai's group were not in the procession.

At this moment, Ayu and Qin Huai, along with Red Hare, Red Dog, and hundreds of attendants and guards, were heading in the opposite direction.

Seven days later.

On her horse, Ayu gazed at the nearby mountains and sea, her eyes reflecting the clear blue sky and white clouds.

“Brother Ayou, I have a feeling that I should be able to see her this time.”
