“Miss Ah Yu, you want me to ride the cliff eagle to look for your Fifth Brother?” Chi Gou was shocked. She did not expect that the first mission Miss Ah Yu gave her was actually to tame the cliff eagle herself?!
Ever since Chi Gou was saved from the mine, she had worked hard and defeated the other Crimson Guards, successfully becoming a secret guard to protect Ah Yu.
However, she only protected Ah Yu outside the Imperial City. After Ah Yu went on duty every day, she had no choice but to stop outside.
It was not that she could not hide inside, but she would be easily discovered by the Inner Palace experts. Their martial strength might not be comparable to hers, but their scouting ability was extremely strong. If she was discovered, she would easily be labeled as a rebel.
Therefore, Chi Gou and the others did not know that All Yu had already tamed the Cliff Eagle.
Ah Yu: “Big Sister Chi Gou, are you afraid of heights? Then I’ll get someone else to help. That cliff eagle has a good temper. It’s a little gluttonous. As long as you give it food on time, there won’t be any problems. But if you’re afraid of heights, that won’t do. It’ll fly very high and it’s a little cold.”
When she heard that Ah Yu was going to change people, Chi Gou hurriedly said, “No, no, no, that’s not what I meant. I’m just a little shocked. I’ll accept this mission. Miss All Yu, tell me what to do.”
Chi Ding, who was also hiding, asked Chi Tu beside him, “Isn’t she most afraid of heights? Can she really complete this mission?”
“Yes.” Chi Tu looked into the distance and said faintly, “There’s a type of will that can surpa.s.s all fear.”
“What?”
“Trying to be brave in front of someone you like very much.”
That made sense.
They all knew how much Chi Gou liked Miss Ah Yu. For example, in order to fight for the position of her personal secret guard, she beat up Chi Bing, who was unwilling to give up his position, until he could not get out of bed for three days.
If not for the Young Master saying that it was better for a few more people to stay by Miss Ah Yu’s side, they might have had a few more fierce battles with Chi Gou.
In the secret guard team, no one dared to underestimate Chi Gou.
The old Chi Gou was already loyal to the death. This time, they felt that she was even more loyal.
Soon, Chi Gou set off with the Cliff Eagle. She was still wearing the thick cloak and dry food that All Yu had specially prepared for her, a small bottle of Myriad Spirit Water, and a bag of very ordinary-looking gra.s.s.
In addition, there were two letters and other things that could prove her ident.i.ty and complete the mission.
As for the items and belongings that w.a.n.g Wulang owned, she brought the bird he had raised when he was young. Because it was too noisy at home, Old Madam w.a.n.g arranged for it to go on this long journey.
The Empress Dowager also sent another group of people to be in charge of setting off from the ground to Jiangsai.
The next day, Qin Huai learned this news and asked Ah Yu, “I heard that you said that you’re going to Jiangsai to study for a year. Do you need me to resign and accompany you?”
“There’s no need. Although Jiangsai is in chaos, 1 know what I’m doing. It’ll be fine. I’ll go as the commander of the Astrology Divination Bureau. Although it’s a study tour, it’s also a nominal inspection of the local feng shui. It’s very reasonable for the Astrology Divination Bureau to go.”
Jiangsai was very chaotic, but the people there usually wouldn’t offend the officials of the Imperial Court. They were worried that they would anger the Imperial Court who will send more troops to destroy them.
The Astrology Divination Bureau was a place that stood aloof from worldly affairs. They would not become enemies with them for no reason.
Qin Huai nodded. “If you need anything, feel free to ask.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t stand on ceremony with you.” All Yu grinned at him and added, “I’ll only be able to work on the later matters in peace when the news of Fifth Brother and Second Uncle comes back.”
The so-called later matters were her women’s academy and her trip to the seaside city. This was Ah Yu’s current basic plan.
“Alright, I’ll accompany you,” Qin Huai said..
