Chapter 436 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 12
Then Yao Zhan said helplessly, "But what I want to know more about is why there are so many people trying to assassinate me lately."

Yu Muhuai crossed his arms, his smile fading, and his expression turned serious.

Then, in a low voice, she said, "Haven't you already had some suspicions about this?"

Yao Zhan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Then he feigned ignorance and gave a stiff laugh, "Haha, how would I know?"

Yu Muhuai stopped pretending to be stupid and slowly uttered three words, "Guo Wanying".

Yao Zhan's previously cheerful expression instantly turned serious.

The courtyard, which had been peaceful in the early morning, suddenly became tense.

Yao Zhan stopped smiling, lowered his chin slightly, and his eyes flashed with an extremely sharp light as he looked directly at Yu Muhuai.

At this moment, he was just like the invincible general on the battlefield, leading his soldiers into battle.

Yao Zhan's entire demeanor turned cold, his back tensed, and he became alert.

He took a slight step back with one foot, ready to assume a defensive stance and meet any attack.

He knew his skills were inferior to hers. Faced with her attacks, he could only focus on defense and remain still to counter her moves.

"Who are you anyway?"

Yu Muhuai remained as nonchalant as ever.

She raised an eyebrow and said, "Yao Zhan, my purpose is to protect you."

However, it now seems that I can also help Guo Wanying achieve her wish.

A flicker of emotion crossed Yao Zhan's eyes, but he feigned ignorance and said, "Ajiu, I don't understand what you're saying."

Yu Muhuai chuckled lightly, "Yao Zhan, you're not good at acting. I know a little about Guo Wanying's situation."

If you trust me, we can cooperate. After all, what you want to do currently seems unlikely. Don't you understand how difficult the target is?

As he spoke, Yu Muhuai slowly walked up to Yao Zhan.

Yao Zhan was very tall and had a strong physique.

When he has a serious expression, his face can look somewhat wicked and aloof.

At this moment, Yao Zhan was like a cheetah with hidden sharpness, its fangs and claws poised to strike, waiting only for Yu Muhuai's reply.

It was as if, once she was proven to be the most dangerous enemy, Yao Zhan would fight to the death even if he was no match for her.

However, Yao Zhan usually greets people with a smile, and even when reprimanding soldiers, he rarely has such a serious expression.

Looking at Yao Zhan, who seemed like a completely different person, Yu Muhuai understood that the other party had finally "revealed his true colors."

Yu Muhuai stopped in front of Yao Zhan, tilted his chin slightly to look at Yao Zhan, neither dodging nor avoiding, but looking directly into those wary and cold eyes.

"I'll say it again, if you and Guo Wanying want to take revenge on Qi Muxing, I can help."

Guo Wanying's original name was Guo Ying.

Guo Ying's father was named Guo Wei, who once served as the prefect of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Qingzhou Prefecture is not large in area and is close to the sea. It is not a military stronghold, but it is rich in sea salt, so there are many salt merchants coming and going.

The people of Qingzhou Prefecture lived a peaceful and prosperous life.

Many officials liked to be transferred here because salt merchants often made connections here, and they could make a lot of money from it.

However, since Guo Wei was transferred to the position of prefect of Qingzhou, he has been honest, upright, and selfless. He has not engaged in any private dealings with local salt merchants and has handled everything impartially.

He governed Qingzhou Prefecture well, and the people were more peaceful than before.

However, local salt merchants and other businessmen are not having as good a life as before.

Guo Ying is the youngest daughter in her family, with two older brothers.

Although Guo Wei held a high official position, he was very devoted to his wife and had only one wife. He did not take any concubines. He and his wife had a good relationship, and although they had occasional minor arguments, they did not affect their marriage.

Guo Ying's two elder brothers, one was working hard to pass the imperial examinations, and the other was not interested in studying and spent his days practicing martial arts, wanting to join the army to serve his country.

The Guo family was harmonious, with a loving father, filial sons, a joyful mother, and a loving daughter; it should have been an extremely happy family.

However, one day, Guo Wei received a report from his subordinates that a secret base had been discovered within the jurisdiction of Qingzhou Prefecture.

Qingzhou Prefecture is located by the sea and backed by mountains.

That mountain range is treacherous, with towering peaks and extremely steep slopes. Apart from hunters and herb gatherers, few people usually venture in or out.

That secret base was hidden among the mountains.

After hearing the description, Guo Wei found it very strange, as if it were a military base where someone was training a private army.

So he personally led several of his men to investigate and indeed discovered the secret base hidden in the valley.

However, when Guo Wei arrived, the place was already deserted.

However, it was clear that the other side retreated in a very hurry, leaving behind a lot of things.

This time, Guo Wei had limited manpower and could only bring back a portion of the evidence.

He then planned to bring more people over, hoping to find out from the clues who the owner of this base was and what his purpose was.

That evening, the Guo residence welcomed someone they never expected.

Qi Muxing.

He tried to bribe Guo Wei to stop investigating the secret base, and promised him many benefits.

Guo Wei, who was always outspoken and righteous, was unwilling to do it.

Not only did he disagree, but he also advised the Ninth Prince not to do such a rebellious thing.

Qi Muxing let out a cold laugh.

That night, a fire broke out at the Guo residence.

All 32 members of the Guo family, including all the servants, perished.

The fire tore through the dark night, almost burning the Guo mansion to the ground.

For some reason, almost none of the salt merchants living nearby seemed to notice, and not a single one came out to check, letting it be burned.

When the report was submitted to the court, the emperor found it suspicious, but the evidence presented seemed to suggest that there was nothing amiss.

Thus, the matter was closed as an accident.

Guo Ying was 11 years old that year.

That day, a servant brought his daughter to the Guo residence because Guo Ying wanted a playmate of the same age.

Guo Wei was very friendly to his servants, so he directly allowed one of their daughters to enter the Guo residence.

The servants were already very satisfied that their daughter could come to live in a wealthy family, even if she was only a companion to the students.

Guo Ying had a lot of fun playing with the little girl and asked to sleep together that night.

Although it was against the rules, Guo Wei had no choice but to agree.

Unexpectedly, this saved Guo Ying's life.

Qi Muxing's men suddenly attacked and began a massacre without saying a word.

In the dead of night at the Guo residence, many people died under the cruel executioner's blade before they could even react.

At the last second, the servant rushed into Guo Ying's room with him and shoved her under the bed.

Almost immediately, the assassin burst in and killed the servants and his daughter before they could react.
