Chapter 432 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 8
Hongren is even more like Tang Sanzang than Tang Sanzang himself!

Fortunately, his title wasn't "sophist," otherwise many people would have been driven to suicide by his words, or directly shaved their heads and became monks or Buddhists.

This time, Yu Muhuai was certain that the other party's title was something like "Influence you with love," "Thank you with a grateful heart," "Listen to my teachings," and "You'll become a good person after listening."

He's definitely that laid-back guy who committed suicide during the assessment task.

However, since the opponent was weaker than him and his title aura was also overwhelmed by him, Yu Muhuai was not affected by him.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have already laid down their weapons and joined him in chanting the Rebirth Mantra for those masked men.

After Yao Zhan and the others finished their discussion in the side room, Yu Muhuai pushed open the door and went in.

"Alright, let's deploy here. Although we're unsure if the bandits are still around, everyone needs to be careful and guard against any further attacks."

"Yes."

"As ordered."

After the meeting was adjourned, everyone left through the side room.

Including Yao Zhan.

Yu Muhuai asked, puzzled, "Are you going out again? Aren't you going to rest?"

Yao Zhan scratched his head sheepishly and smiled sheepishly, "You can have this place. We guys can go out and squeeze in with the brothers."

With that, Yao Zhan and his group of people hurriedly walked out, not daring to linger any longer.

The next day, Xiuwu's detachment, led by Yao Zhan, quickly searched the entire Jiaxu Mountain.

We've confirmed that there are really no bandits here.

That afternoon, everyone carried the dozens of mutilated, masked corpses toward the imperial city.

In the morning, Yao Zhan sent a group of people out to search for warhorses.

Warhorses are different from ordinary horses; they all undergo rigorous training.

Even if they are frightened and run away, there are still ways to find them.

They recovered more than two hundred warhorses.

There was no way to transport all the more than one hundred soldiers who were killed back immediately, so the group could only take the masked man's body back to report.

That evening, Yao Zhan returned to the military camp and reported the matter to his superior, the general of Xiuwu Army.

The next morning, General Luo Zhonghua of Xiuwu Army brought Yao Zhan to court and reported the events of the past few days truthfully.

The emperor frowned after hearing this.

"General Luo, are you saying that there are no bandits in Jiaxu Mountain and that the intelligence was wrong?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I suspect this is a meticulously planned ambush against Hidego's army."

The bodies of those masked men have all been brought back, and no information to identify them was found on their bodies.

Their uniforms were uniform and exquisitely made, and the weapons they used were not products of ordinary small workshops.

Judging from the calluses on their hands, this is a group of people who are well-trained.

Your Majesty, the sudden appearance of a group of fully armed, well-trained masked men targeting Shugo's army around the Imperial City is something that I cannot but take seriously.

We hope His Majesty will issue an order for a thorough investigation.

Qi Muxing was also in the imperial court. He had been granted the title of Prince Duan a few years ago and had his own royal residence.

On the surface, however, Qi Muxing was like a carefree prince, spending his days drinking and having fun, and not caring about state affairs.

Those who were unaware of the situation did not consider him a strong contender for the throne.

His father rarely interfered in his affairs.

In the emperor's eyes, this child he had adopted halfway through his life was nothing more than dispensable, and he did not devote much affection to him.

Naturally, it won't attract much attention.

Qi Muxing had once fantasized about his father's love and his grandmother's doting affection. But soon, at a young age, he realized that those ethereal feelings had nothing to do with him; he was just a wild child who had been temporarily taken in.

Everything you want, you have to fight for it yourself.

Therefore, Qi Muxing no longer longed for any family affection; he only believed in things that he could actually hold in his hands.

For example, power, the throne, and Guo Wanying.

Qi Muxing now stood in the crowd, looking silently at Yao Zhan, who was bowing his head.

He squinted, and an indistinct light flickered within his eyes.

The night before last, Ah San came to report that none of the more than thirty soldiers who went to Jiaxu Mountain had returned.

Guangxingjun was the name of Qi Muxing's private army.

Qi Muxing frowned. "None of them have returned?"

Ah San lowered his head slightly and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, Master."

Qi Muxing stood with his hands behind his back, pondered for a long time, and then snorted in dissatisfaction, "He deserves to die for his incompetence."

The Indian man did not answer, but remained with his hands at his sides and bowed respectfully.

"They must have alerted Yao Zhan's group by making things too obvious, which is why their operation failed. They're utterly useless."

Seeing that his master had finished scolding, Ah San tentatively asked, "Master, should we still send someone to Jiaxu Mountain?"

Qi Muxing shook his head, "No need. Since we've already alerted them, there's no need to go any further."

Ah San, remember this: there's only one optimal opportunity for everything. Once you miss it, don't dwell on it. To succeed, you must lie low and wait for the next chance.

Ah San clasped his hands in a deep fist salute, bowed deeply, and said firmly, "Thank you for your instruction, Master. Ah San understands."

"Where's Ajiu?"

Ah San knew that Ah Jiu had always been by Yao Zhan's side, and that some things were done by his subordinates after he received orders.

However, as of now, the Indians still do not know what their masters' true purpose is in doing this.

"Reporting to Master, our men have not seen any trace of Ajiu. Either she is still on a mission, or something has happened to her."

Qi Muxing hummed in agreement, his tone completely flat, "If Ajiu is alright, then we should speed up the rest of the process."

"Yes, master."

"Yes, go down. During this period, intensify the training of the Guangxing Army."

"As ordered."

Knowing in advance that the Guangxing Army mission had failed, Qi Muxing was not too alarmed when he first heard Luo Zhonghua's report.

But he was still somewhat surprised.

He didn't expect that Yao Zhan would be able to guess that the masked man was not a bandit, and that he would report the matter to the authorities.

In accordance with the usual practice of a brigade commander, he might have targeted the masked man as the objective of the operation, and then sought credit and rewards.

Because without the bandits, they wouldn't get any bounty for their actions.

The soldiers who died because of this may not receive any compensation.

However, Yao Zhan actually took such a risk, not only guessing that the masked man had a special identity, but also showing signs of making things worse.

I didn't know before that this simple-minded boy was actually a troublemaker.

Yao Zhan hadn't expected this either.

He initially thought these masked men were high-ranking, well-organized bandits.

However, Yu Muhuai's few words enlightened him, making him believe that this was not a counterattack by the mountain bandits, but an assassination attempt against their Xiuwu Army.

Yao Zhan was completely baffled.
