Chapter 1733: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1733: Feisty and Unreasonable Shu Yu
General Huang had a hunch that something was up, so he said to the soldier, "Let her in."
As Shu Yu entered, she glanced around before fixing her gaze on General Huang. Without waiting for him to speak, she ran up to him and urgently said, "You must be General Huang, right? I heard that you're here to suppress the bandits. You absolutely have to help me."
Everyone present was taken aback. the County Magistrate quickly stood up and approached, wearing a forced smile as he tried to persuade her, "Village lord Lu, I am the county magistrate here. Please take your time to speak. If you need help, feel free to ask. I will do my best to assist you."
Shu Yu waved her hand dismissively without even looking at him. "You can't do it."
the County Magistrate's smile wavered.
Shu Yu continued, "General Huang, here's the situation. My fiancé's uncle, who happens to be a scholar in Chenggu County, was captured by bandits a few days ago. You have no idea how lawless these bandits are. They dare to break into people's homes in broad daylight to abduct them. You have to help me rescue him."
the County Magistrate's mouth twitched, but he tried to interject, "Miss Lu Xiangjun, we are aware of the situation involving Meng's family's guards. We have been searching for them diligently. You can rest assured, we will find them soon."
Shu Yu rolled her eyes. "You've been searching for days and still haven't found them. The few people you have are simply inadequate." She then turned to General Huang and said, "Otherwise, General Huang, can you lend me some men? I know you're a skilled warrior, and your soldiers are strong. I've heard that your scouts and reconnaissance are excellent. How about lending me two scouts? Once they find the person, I'll return them immediately."
"Nonsense!" Before General Huang could respond, someone beside him shouted angrily. Clearly irritated, he continued, "Do you even know the purpose of scouts? You're talking as if it's a trivial matter, and you want to borrow two? Let me tell you, we are here for important matters, not to help you find someone. You're being utterly unreasonable."
Shu Yu glared at the man. Perfect, this was the insider who helped General Huang with his horse, just as Yuan Gui had mentioned.
She clenched her teeth, approached him menacingly, and pushed him aside with a single shove. "I'm talking to General Huang. What business do you have here? Who do you think you are? Get lost."
With that person pushed away, Shu Yu positioned herself next to General Huang, gripping his arm with a slightly excited expression. She shook him urgently and said, "General Huang, you absolutely must help me. Don't worry, once we find the person, we won't treat you unfairly. Meng Yunzheng is currently a top scholar; he will surely become the top scholar in the future. And, and, I know Prime Minister Qi, he's been very kind to me."
In the instant she grabbed his hand, General Huang felt a piece of paper being slipped into his palm.
Surprised, he looked up and discreetly pocketed the note.
He stood up shortly afterward and reassured Shu Yu, "I understand what miss Lu Xiangjun is saying. However, I can't lend scouts to you. Rest assured, I will head out of the city to deal with the bandits immediately. Once we capture these bandits, regardless of who they took, they will be released."
