Chapter 425 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 1
"Ah Jiu, don't worry about me! You go!"

Yu Muhuai turned his head and glanced at the person who spoke.

Then he turned around and looked at the group of menacing men in black in front of him.

She gripped the broadsword in her hand, and without uttering a word, charged forward.

The person who just spoke was named Yao Zhan, a lieutenant general in Xiuwu Army.

He was ordered to suppress bandits, but he was ambushed. All five hundred of his men were poisoned, and his companions suffered heavy casualties, with very few surviving.

Yao Zhan was also poisoned, and his body was weak and he could hardly keep going.

The original owner's name was Ajiu.

She ranked ninth, and everyone around her called her Ah Jiu since she was a child.

However, she really enjoyed drinking, so she later simply changed her name to Ah Jiu (阿酒).

Ah Jiu doesn't have a formal name because she's a bodyguard. Furthermore, her master is a member of the royal family, so she can't use his surname.

This country is called Fenghuan Kingdom. The emperor is very fertile and has many offspring.

The current crown prince is the second prince, named Qi Muyuan.

Ajiu's master is named Qi Muxing, the Ninth Prince.

On the surface, Qi Muxing appeared to be law-abiding, but in reality, he had long cultivated his own vast underground power.

Ah Jiu specializes in assassinations and is in charge of an assassination organization called Guanhai Pavilion.

Guanhai Pavilion is renowned in the martial arts world, and it is said that no order they cannot complete.

However, no one outsiders knew that Guanhai Pavilion was actually owned by the Ninth Prince.

Ah Jiu is the head of Guanhai Pavilion. She is highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in various assassination techniques.

But one day, she suddenly received a mission: not to kill, but to protect someone.

The person being protected is Yao Zhan.

The weapon in Ajiu's hand has always been for killing. From a young age, she has been trained entirely in the art of killing.

But now, her master is actually asking her to protect someone.

Although she had never done it before, Ah Jiu always obeyed her master's orders without question, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and do it.

After that, Ajiu secretly infiltrated Yao Zhan's side and observed him for a period of time, but she couldn't understand it.

The other party is also skilled in martial arts, and is even a military officer with many men under his command.

Why would someone like that need protection?

It wasn't long before Ah Jiu found out the reason.

Because there are always people trying to assassinate Yao Zhan.

Their plan was meticulous, their actions swift and orderly; it was clear they had all undergone professional training.

Whether it was a coincidence or Yao Zhan's good luck, he always managed to escape unscathed.

In order to protect Yao Zhan, Ajiu had no choice but to show herself.

Once was fine, but after two or three times, Yao Zhan realized something was wrong.

He wanted to know who this woman was, who always stepped forward in times of crisis, and what her purpose was in doing so.

Ah Jiu only knows assassination and is not good at socializing. She didn't know how to explain it, so she simply kept silent.

Seeing her like this, Yao Zhan found it amusing and would tease her from time to time.

Ah Jiu was not used to it at first, but she got used to it later.

As they got to know each other better, Ajiu simply went from protecting Yao Zhan from the shadows to protecting him directly by his side.

Yao Zhan likes to drink, but he can't hold his liquor. Every time he gets drunk, he acts crazy, and Ajiu, who can hold her liquor, has no choice but to take him home.

Yao Zhan is skilled in martial arts, but not as good as A Jiu.

At first, Ah Jiu showed no mercy in defeating her opponent. Later, to save Yao Zhan's face, Ah Jiu pretended to be defeated.

When Yao Zhan found out, he became so anxious that he jumped up and down, thinking that Ajiu was looking down on him.

Over time, their relationship evolved from one of protection and being protected to one of friendship.

During this time, Ajiu would occasionally see a woman named Guo Wanying at Yao Zhan's place.

Yao Zhan said that the other party was from his hometown, so he would take good care of him.

Guo Wanying is very talented, with first-rate painting skills, and makes a living by street painting.

Although she wore a veil, her slender figure and delicate features were still visible beneath it. Occasionally, some thugs would cause her trouble. After Yao Zhan appeared, he helped Guo Wanying resolve these problems.

Ajiu observed the interaction between the two without feeling a ripple in her heart.

Because she didn't like Yao Zhan.

All of Qi Muxing's secret guards had taken the Heartbreak Pill.

Throughout their lives, they will never truly fall in love with anyone. This is to avoid letting emotions hinder their actions and cause trouble for their masters.

However, in Ah Jiu's heart, she already regarded Yao Zhan as her friend, a friend she considered even more sincere than the other bodyguards.

Suddenly one day, the orders Ah Jiu received changed.

Kill Yao Zhan.

And it had to be done in front of Guo Wanying.

Ah Jiu was puzzled. Why did he suddenly want to kill Yao Zhan? And why did he do it in front of Guo Wanying?
She hesitated, and thus missed the best opportunity to assassinate him.

Just as he was about to make another move, Yao Zhan noticed him.

"Ajiu! You...you want to kill me?"

Just as the two were facing off, a hail of arrows suddenly rained down on the three of them.

At that moment, Ah Jiu actually saw her master.

Qi Muxing rushed over and saved Guo Wanying's life amidst a hail of arrows.

These arrows seemed to have eyes; not a single one flew towards Qi Muxing.

Instead, they all came towards Ajiu and Yao Zhan.

Yao Zhan stood in front of Ajiu, securing a way out for her.

"Ajiu, let's go quickly."

Before Ajiu could react, several sharp arrows shot out and pierced Yao Zhan's body.

With his last bit of strength, he pushed Ah Jiu away.

Ah Jiu escaped. She wanted to find Qi Muxing and find out what had happened.

Qi Muxing looked at this usually obedient bodyguard and casually revealed the truth.

He had taken a liking to Guo Wanying, but Guo Wanying seemed to have feelings for Yao Zhan.

So he sent Ah Jiu and caused several accidents in an attempt to bring the two together and make Guo Wanying give up.

Qi Muxing, who is usually ruthless, did not choose to take direct action because he truly loved Guo Wanying and was afraid that taking direct action would be discovered.

Moreover, only by driving away the person in her heart will she truly fall in love with herself.

However, Qi Muxing suddenly learned one day that Guo Wanying did not like Yao Zhan.

This is a misunderstanding on his part.

So he ordered Ah Jiu to kill Yao Zhan.

Ajiu hesitated, but Qi Muxing decisively ordered his guards to shoot arrows, thus saving Guo Wanying as a hero.

They didn't even notice that Ah Jiu was still standing there.

Later, Qi Muxing framed Yao Zhan, claiming that his own misconduct had attracted revenge from his enemies, which led to his death.

The enemy he mentioned was Ah Jiu.

Ah Jiu finally understood that, for Qi Muxing, the lives of the secret guards were not important.

He viewed almost everyone around him as a pawn.

Place it on the chessboard when needed, and discard it completely when not needed.

After Ah Jiu heard all this, the guards around her surrounded her.

Qi Muxing couldn't keep Ajiu around because Guo Wanying knew her.
