I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 426 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 2
Yu Muhuai arrived just as Ajiu was saving Yao Zhan for the second time.

The first time was about a week ago, at Yao Zhan's home.

While he was asleep, someone came to attack him, but Ah Jiu discovered it in time and saved Yao Zhan.

Yao Zhan asked Ajiu's name.

Ah Jiu ignored the other person and left after rescuing them.

Her job is to provide protection, not to gossip.

From a young age, these bodyguards underwent extremely rigorous training, and only one or two out of a hundred could survive.

Those who survive to the end are undoubtedly the elite at the very top, but also the most ruthless beasts.

I never engage in any social interaction outside of my assigned duties.

The subsequent "Heartbreak Pill" further severed most of the emotional ties.

Almost all that remained was loyalty to their master, Qi Muxing, with only a few still harboring any affection for their companions.

After saving Yao Zhan for the first time, Ajiu remained silent and lurked around him to protect him.

But for some reason, although she hid it very well, Yao Zhan still discovered her several times.

Faced with Yao Zhan's persistent questioning, Ajiu could not resist and had no choice but to tell him her name.

"Ajiu? Don't you have a surname?"

Ajiu shook her head, puzzled. Surnames? Why do we need surnames?
Her mistress was a member of the royal family, so she couldn't take her mistress's surname and therefore never had one.

Later, Ah Jiu learned that it was because Qi Muxing's people secretly guided Yao Zhan to find her that the secret that the Guanhai Pavilion Master had always been so proud of was so easily discovered.

This time, Yao Zhan was ordered to suppress bandits and came to Jiaxu Mountain.

Jiaxu Mountain is located about a hundred miles south of the imperial city. The light cavalry force of five hundred men could march very quickly.

It will take a little over an hour to get there.

Mount Kasuga is not just a single mountain, but a continuous range of towering peaks. Some people choose to take the Mount Kasuga mountain range when traveling from the southern city to the imperial city and wanting to take a shortcut.

Therefore, there are often some bandits and hooligans roaming around here.

They were few in number, they would rob and leave immediately, their whereabouts were uncertain, and they had no fixed abode.

Every time a group is killed or captured, a new group will appear within a few months.

There will always be criminals in the world. The imperial court has no way to eradicate them and can only send troops when it receives relevant reports.

The reason Yao Zhan was sent this time was due to the mediation of Qi Muxing's associates in the court.

Yao Zhan's 500 men were all light cavalry, riding horses to travel, but the horses were not suitable for going up mountains.

Therefore, Yao Zhan divided his men into several groups. Some of them watched over the horses on the flat ground, while others guarded the entrance and exit to prevent the bandits from escaping.

Some people followed him up the mountain.

This disperses the number of people, making it easier for the enemy to defeat them one by one.

This time, the enemy was not a group of crude mountain bandits who only knew how to shout and fight but had no strategy whatsoever, but rather people sent by Qi Muxing.

These people were all elite troops under Qi Muxing.

Therefore, although these people were few in number, they were very efficient and quickly defeated the 500-man team.

Their plan was meticulous. First, they poisoned the water source, rendering the group incapable of fighting. Then, they divided them up and defeated them one by one.

The first to be attacked were the group of over a hundred people with horses at the foot of the mountain.

All of the more than one hundred people were killed. The horses were out of control and frightened, and most of them ran away.

This cut off Yao Zhan and the others' escape route.

Then came the group heading up the mountain.

Yao Zhan divided the soldiers who went up the mountain into two groups and sent them to search in two different directions.

The masked man left that group at the back and attacked Yao Zhan first. In his previous life's memories, everyone in Yao Zhan's group except for him was killed, while a few members of the other group escaped.

Ajiu was only responsible for Yao Zhan's safety and didn't care about the lives of the others. In her view, it didn't matter whether those unimportant people lived or died.

The group of masked men relentlessly pursued Ajiu and Yao Zhan, and Ajiu was injured while protecting Yao Zhan.

After that, the masked men gradually slowed down their pursuit and disappeared without anyone noticing.

Ajiu didn't think much at the time; she just wanted to get Yao Zhan to a safe place as quickly as possible.

Not far after that, there was an abandoned, dilapidated temple on the mountain.

They entered the dilapidated temple, where one recuperated and the other detoxified, spending two or three days together.

The remaining dozens of soldiers arrived a few days later, all looking disheveled. After resting for a while, the group descended the mountain and returned to the imperial city.

Qi Muxing went through all this trouble and effort, only to create an opportunity for Ajiu and Yao Zhan to be alone together.

Yu Muhuai's eye twitched.

As expected of a psychologically twisted schemer, even his tricks are so unique.

Qi Muxing's birth mother was just a palace maid. The emperor had a one-night stand and the maid became pregnant.

This palace maid was extremely beautiful, but her status was too low, and she was also being suppressed by the master she used to serve.

So, after being favored by the emperor, she, who should have been promoted to the rank of lady, remained a palace maid.

Not long after, the palace maid discovered she was pregnant, but she dared not tell anyone, fearing she would lose the baby.

Fortunately, the concubine she served disliked her and banished her to the laundry department.

The laundry department was responsible for washing the clothes of everyone in the palace, which was a very tiring job.

Because many concubines had to change their clothes every day. Their palaces housed anywhere from a dozen to dozens or even hundreds of people.

There are tens of thousands of people in the entire palace, including the emperor and princes.

The number of clothes washed in this way is simply countless.

But the palace maid was very happy because she hid there very well until she gave birth to the child.

But the truth couldn't be hidden forever, and when the child was five years old, it was discovered.

The emperor couldn't remember when he had favored that palace maid. At this time, the palace maid had aged considerably due to long-term hard work and was no longer as pretty as before.

However, since the child was his own flesh and blood, the emperor took the child away and entrusted him to a concubine to raise.

Not long after, the palace maid died, and outsiders said she committed suicide.

The truth remains unknown.

At this point, the child finally received his own name – Qi Muxing.

Having grown up in such a repressive environment, Qi Muxing learned to be patient and restrained at a very young age.

And, resistance.

He first tried to find the medication, but after taking it, he developed a serious condition.

The imperial physicians could not cure him, so the emperor sent him to a villa in the suburbs.

Once he left the palace, Qi Muxing was able to act freely.

He began recruiting talent to serve him. He was just a child, yet he had already started recruiting soldiers and establishing his own secret guard.

It was at this time that Ah Jiu was recruited by him.

When Ajiu was a child, her family was poor and they couldn't get enough to eat. Her parents sold her, but Qi Muxing bought her from the slave market and sent her to a base for training secret guards.
