Chapter 440 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 16
The memorial stated that there had been several cases of pirates robbing people, killing civilians, and destroying public property along the coast of Qingzhou Prefecture recently.

The local forces of Qingzhou Prefecture launched several attacks, all of which ended in failure.

They requested the Emperor to send troops to reinforce Qingzhou Prefecture and, together with the local forces, annihilate the pirates in one fell swoop.

In recent years, piracy, looting, and murder have become frequent occurrences in coastal areas.

Most of these pirates came from an island nation not far from Fenghuan Kingdom. This island nation is not large and is currently in the midst of war.

Many people were displaced and lost their homes in the war, so they crossed the ocean to plunder the wealthy Kingdom of Phoenix.

When the coastal residents first saw these pirates, they thought they were seeing ghosts, so they called them "devils".

Over time, this group of pirates also became known as the "Ghost Bandits".

Yao Zhan attended court with Luo Zhonghua today. He stepped forward and volunteered to go to Qingzhou Prefecture.

"This humble general is willing to lead troops to annihilate the evil bandits, drive out the pirates, and restore peace to the people of Qingzhou Prefecture."

The emperor approved.

He ordered Yao Zhan to wipe out the pirates along the coast within three months.

Qingzhou Prefecture is neither too close nor too far from the capital. Traveling there alone at full speed would take about a day.

If we were to lead an army, with cavalry and infantry together, it would probably take three to five days.

Yao Zhan led 5,000 troops of Xiuwu Army to set off.

This operation was not large in scale and did not attract much attention.

In essence, this is not much different from the previous operation to eliminate bandits.

The night before their departure, Guo Wanying came to see Yao Zhan.

At this point, Yu Muhuai no longer concealed his presence but instead stayed by Yao Zhan's side to protect him.

The people Qi Muxing sent to monitor and test them were all killed one after another, so he simply gave up for the time being and did not send anyone else.

This was the first time Yu Muhuai had met Guo Wanying.

Ah Jiu had only met him once before.

That was when I had just arrived and was secretly lying in wait. I saw Yao Zhan helping Guo Wanying on the street.

Since successfully getting close to Qi Muxing, Guo Wanying has had very little contact with Yao Zhan.

However, when Guo Wanying first arrived in the capital after changing her appearance, she received help from Yao Zhan. If they suddenly stop contacting each other, it would arouse suspicion.

So the two of them continued to interact as ordinary friends.

This time, Guo Wanying couldn't wait to find Yao Zhan because she knew his destination was Qingzhou Prefecture.

That was her home, the place where all her relatives were murdered.

There, the fire consumed everything and plunged her into hell, changing her life forever.

Yao Zhan and Guo Wanying were talking quietly on a stone bench in the courtyard, using coded language that only they understood.

Yu Muhuai stood on the roof with his arms crossed, seemingly trying to avoid the situation.

She keenly sensed that there were many people lurking outside Yao Zhan's courtyard.

These were all Qi Muxing's subordinates.

He certainly didn't want Guo Wanying to have any contact with Yao Zhan, but he had to show his magnanimity.

Liking is unrestrained, love is restraint.

Aside from the struggle for the throne, he could only be so restrained when facing Guo Wanying.

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but inwardly exclaim in admiration.

If this isn't love...
"Brother Yao, it's been several years since I've been back. I wonder if things have changed there."

“Miss Guo, one day you will be able to return home openly and honestly.”

"."

After Guo Wanying said goodbye, Yu Muhuai came down from the roof. It was not advisable for her to have too much contact with Guo Wanying at the moment, to avoid Qi Muxing noticing anything unusual.

Yao Zhan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon and sparse stars in the night sky. At this moment, he was filled with many thoughts, and a sorrowful expression appeared on his face.

After Yu Muhuai patrolled the surrounding area and made sure no one was watching him, he returned to find this scene before him.

She walked slowly to Yao Zhan's side, murmuring to herself.

"Winter and spring pass swiftly, and the seasons change in an instant. My beloved has returned to the netherworld, forever separated by the earth."

Yao Zhan turned around, suppressing the worries caused by Guo Wanying's arrival, and wiped his face.

"Ah Jiu, what a talent! I never knew you were so skilled in martial arts, and your poetry is so outstanding!"

Yu Muhuai shook his head helplessly and explained, "I didn't make it; I saw it before."

Yao Zhan was puzzled. "Which master wrote this? Such excellent writing, how come I've never heard of it before?"

"forget."

Hearing this perfunctory answer, Yao Zhan was not annoyed.

He continued to look up at the night sky, murmuring, "My dear teacher, I will be able to come and see you in a few days."

Five thousand soldiers marched swiftly, enduring wind and rain, and arrived in Qingzhou Prefecture in just three days.

Qingzhou Prefecture is located in a coastal area, and as soon as you enter the territory, you can smell the fishy smell of the sea.

Nestled between mountains and the sea, this place boasts a beautiful environment.

However, due to its coastal location, it experiences severe weather such as typhoons every year.

Most of the people in Qingzhou Prefecture are fishermen who make a living by fishing at sea.

If the environment changes abruptly or the sea conditions change, the boats will be in great danger, and the lives of the fishermen will be greatly threatened.

In addition, they also had to be wary of pirates who would appear from time to time.

Therefore, on the surface, the people of Qingzhou Prefecture seem to live a prosperous life with no worries about food and drink, but in reality, they have paid a heavy price for it.

Yao Zhan led his troops directly to the garrison in Qingzhou Prefecture.

The garrison commander was named Liang Xiaorong, and the garrison was called the Liang Family Army, which was basically composed of people from several nearby cities.

Liang Xiaorong led his troops to greet them at the entrance of the army camp. When he saw Yao Zhan, who was in charge, he walked over from a distance.

"Oh my! Brother Yao, you're a lifesaver!"

As soon as Yao Zhan dismounted, Liang Xiaorong rushed over and grabbed him, patting his back several times with his large hand.

Fortunately, Yao Zhan was also trained; otherwise, most people wouldn't have been able to withstand such a slap.

Although his military rank was higher than the other party's, Yao Zhan did not mind such a move.

Liang Xiaorong grew up by the sea, his skin was tanned dark, his fingers were rough, and his voice was loud with a strong accent.

He was a typical social butterfly, and he was especially enthusiastic when he saw Yao Zhan, calling him "brother" repeatedly and pulling him towards the camp.

Those who were allowed to enter the camp were all generals from the two armies.

Seeing a thin, small person follow Yao Zhan in, Liang Xiaorong's large face was full of confusion.

"Brother Yao, is this also your deputy general? He looks rather short."

Yu Muhuai had made some modifications at this time. His hair was tied up in a men's bun, his face was painted black, and he was wearing the uniform of the Xiuwu Army.

She glanced at Liang Xiaorong sideways, without saying a word.

Yao Zhan quickly said, "General Liang, this is my attendant. Although he does not hold a military rank, he is actually my strategist, and his ability in marching and fighting should not be underestimated."

"A little tune? What little tune? You guys sing little tunes during battles?"

Yu Muhuai squinted at the other person, his eyes saying, "Is this person mentally challenged?"
