Chapter 792: Predicting Earthquake
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
This was very important. Ah Yu immediately found King Xiaoyao. “Uncle Ah Shu, do you have a map here?”
King Xiaoyao: “Yes, I’ll send someone to get it.”
Ah Yu said, “It’s too late. Bring me there directly!”
Geographical maps were extremely important combat supplies. The more detailed the map, the higher the value. Some countries even had to pay a huge price to obtain one because of their insufficient ability.
Therefore, when they found out that Ah Yu wanted to see the map, the commanders of King Xiaoyao’s garrison were a little unhappy. “Your Highness, this is not child’s play. If we base it on the Great Chang’s laws—”
“According to the rules of Article 634 of the Great Chang Law, the general can urgently mobilize military supplies in times of crisis. Article 107 stipulates that officials above the seventh-grade can survey the map.” Ah Yu’s face was solemn as she said righteously, “General, is the rank of the commander of my Astrology Divination Bureau not high enough, or is my identity as Village Lord Yu not worthy, or is the inspector personally approved by His Majesty not qualified?”
Not to mention the generals, even King Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment.
When has Ah Yu ever been so fierce?
No one dared to speak anymore. Ah Yu had already gone to get the map she needed herself. After spreading it out, she quickly read it.
The generals looked at each other and mouthed, “This little ancestor knows how to read maps?”
The others shook their heads and curled their lips. How could that be?
This was a high-grade map of the military. It was different from the crudely made ones on the market, and the labels were also different.
Perhaps she just thought it was fun and wanted to use her identity to get something new.
“This is Woye County, more than 870 miles away, right?” Ah Yu pointed with her finger and stretched it forward. “I’ve seen the Great Chang’s map before. If I judge from this map and go a little further, there’s a natural chasm here called the Hundred Miles Valley. It just so happens to lie between Woye County and Yue City a thousand miles away.”
Without waiting for them to speak, Ah Yu continued, “It’s rumored that there’s a sect in the Hundred Miles Valley with countless people inside. On both sides of the Heavenly Chasm, there are several villages and towns with at least 100,000 people—”
“Wang… I mean, Village Lord Yu, what are you trying to say?” A yellow-haired general asked, “What has this place thousands of miles away got to do with us?”
Ah Yu ignored him and looked up at the outside. When she heard footsteps, she continued to lower her head and say, “If there’s an earthquake here, the Heavenly Chasm will probably shift. The surrounding mountains will be affected, and the people have to move as soon as possible. In addition, we have to arrange for horses and carriages to collect supplies along the way. At that time, there will definitely be a shortage.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xie Zhen running over in a hurry. The sweat on his face was as if he had been drenched in water.
It was already autumn, and everyone was wearing thick clothes, but Xie Zhen was sweating profusely.
“Commander, you’re looking for me?”
Ah Yu pointed at the map and said, “Look, if there’s an earthquake here, what else will happen in the surroundings? I’m afraid I’m missing something. In addition, in the past, when there’s a earthquake, we had to prepare some supplies. Hurry up and write it down. Make a few more copies and distribute them quickly.”
Xie Zhen was stunned by her words. Why did she suddenly talk about an earthquake?
Where was the earthquake?
“Village Lord Yu, don’t make such a joke. An earthquake is not a joke. Many people will die! There have only been a few earthquakes in the history of the Great Chang, and hundreds of thousands of people have died every time!” The yellow-haired general said, “Don’t say this outside. If it’s serious, you’ll implicate your entire family!”
However, King Xiaoyao did not question it. Instead, he asked, “How did you know?”
Ah Yu said, “Uncle All Shu, I just said it. Have you forgotten? I’m from the Astrology Divination Bureau. Our Astrology Divination Bureau specializes in this. We’re just predicting an earthquake. Why are you so surprised?”
The others subconsciously looked at Xie Zhen. Xie Zhen’s mouth was agape even wider than theirs, but based on the principle that no matter how much he cheated, he had to bear it. He nodded fiercely.
“That’s right! This is what our Astrology Divination Bureau does. Just listen and follow us.”
With that, Xie Zhen immediately made arrangements. If some people could not be called out, he would immediately change to someone who could listen to him.
Chi Tu and Chi Ding were also free now and had been captured to copy the things to take note of.
As for King Xiaoyao’s people, they also cooperated with Ah Yu.
This was because the journey was a thousand miles away. Even if they traveled day and night, it would take them three to five days to arrive. That was the fastest.
If they wanted to collect enough resources to deal with it the first time, it would take at least six to seven days to arrive. At that time, the earthquake would have long happened, and there would be countless casualties.
Coincidentally, the eagle came to deliver the letter again. Ah Yu simply rode the eagle and asked it to bring her to the Hundred Miles Valley to see the situation there first.
Wang Wulang and the others wanted to follow, but the eagle refused no matter what.
Helpless, Ah Yu could only hurriedly say, “We’ll meet outside the Hundred Miles Valley at that time. I’ll leave a signal for you!”
This matter had caused a huge commotion. Even the people in Jiangsai City had heard about it. The “new official” had actually predicted an earthquake and wanted to go out to save the people.
This shocked and moved them.
When Shi Zhou and the others heard this, they started gathering their people without a word and headed towards All Yu.
“It’s hard to say if Ah Yu is Ruan Ruan’s child, but she’s definitely of the West Wind Nation’s royal bloodline.. We’ll protect our own people!”
