Chapter 441 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 17
Yao Zhan could only explain in a more colloquial way, "What I meant just now was that my follower is quite capable, General Liang should not underestimate him."

"Ah," Liang Xiaorong nodded with his mouth open, looking as if he had learned something new.

He then circled around Yu Muhuai, saying, "With that small frame, what strength could he possibly have? Brother Yao, don't try to fool me. He probably couldn't withstand a single punch from me."

Before anyone could react, Liang Xiaorong punched Yu Muhuai in the shoulder.

He just wanted to test how tough the other person was, without paying attention to how heavy his punch was.

Yao Zhan was terrified. "Watch out!"

Even the Liang family soldiers inside the tent couldn't help but cry out, "General, you mustn't!"

They wanted to stop their superior from doing something foolish, but what if they went too far and injured the men that General Yao had brought?
Yu Muhuai had just stood there motionless, arms crossed. Her gaze was slightly lowered, looking at the ground in front of her, completely unconcerned about Liang Xiaorong's scrutiny.

Before she could even lift her eyelids, she swiftly raised her hand and grabbed the other person's fist.

Liang Xiaorong looked surprised. His speed and punching power were both good, but now he felt that his fist was completely unable to move.

Then he grinned, seemingly surprised, and his empty fist came flying like a hurricane.

This time, he wasn't testing the waters; he was truly preparing to exchange blows.

Yu Muhuai turned his head to dodge the punch.

Her offset was calculated with great precision; Liang Xiaorong's fist barely grazed the stray hairs at her temple.

While dodging, Yu Muhuai twisted the hand that was holding the other's fist forward, and Liang Xiaorong immediately let out a painful "Ouch!"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Muhuai stretched out his leg and delivered a front kick that struck Liang Xiaorong squarely in the waist and abdomen.

Yu Muhuai slightly controlled his strength to avoid hitting too hard and showing too much disrespect to the general.

However, Liang Xiaorong was still kicked backward repeatedly and couldn't help but cough.

The few members of Liang's army who had just been worried that Liang Xiaorong was being too impolite now all gathered around him, concerned about his health.

Although Liang Xiaorong still felt pain, he tried to straighten his back and avoid rubbing his stomach in order to save face.

He waved his hand to indicate that he was alright.

Liang Xiaorong then put away his previous dismissive expression and clasped his hands in apology to Yu Muhuai.

"This young man is quite skilled; I, Lao Liang, admire him. It was just a small sparring match; don't take it to heart."

Yu Muhuai nodded, his expression still blank. "It's alright."

"Brother Yao, your follower is quite capable. Why did you just tell him to be careful?"

Yao Zhan chuckled dryly, "I was telling General Liang that I wanted you to be careful."

Liang Xiaorong:
All of them were military officers, so they didn't need to speak in a literary style; they were all very straightforward and introduced each other's identities in just a few words.

Now let's get to the main point.

Liang Xiaorong gave a general overview of the pirate situation over the past two years.

Although his accent was very strong, it was still possible to get a general idea of ​​what he said by referring to the relevant documents.

Piracy has a long history, but it has become particularly rampant in recent years.

The consensus was that the island nation's civil war in recent years had caused many people to flee, resulting in chaos along the coast of Qingzhou Prefecture.

The war on the island did have some impact; many people had no food and had to go out to find a way to survive.

However, Yu Muhuai knew that the surge in the number of pirates in Qingzhou Prefecture was related to Boss Wu.

In her previous life, Ajiu knew something about this.

Boss Wu is shrewd and even somewhat cunning, possessing all the qualities of a swindler and adept at exploiting loopholes.

Although the existing salt merchants were large in scale, trading only within Fenghuan was no longer enough for him. Boss Wu wanted to expand his business to the whole world.

The first country that comes to mind is the island nation that is very close by.

Although the island nation is not large in area, it has a large population and relatively backward craftsmanship, so it cannot produce salt as exquisite as that of Feng Huan Guo.

In addition, with the frequent wars in recent years, there are far fewer salt producers and salt merchants.

This was the perfect opportunity for Boss Wu to smuggle salt.

By using pirate ships, he didn't need to pay taxes and could even reduce the pirates' transport fees.

You can earn a large enough profit margin by paying very little shipping costs.

Most pirates are cunning and ruthless; the reason they choose to become pirates and plunder is simply to make money.

Now there's a door-to-door business opportunity where you can make money simply by sailing a boat to transport goods. Why not take it?

As a result, more and more pirates came to the vicinity of Qingzhou Prefecture, some with their relatives and others with their friends.

However, even with the transportation fees from the salt merchants, they were still not satisfied.

If they encounter fishermen at sea, they will still rob them.

Never satisfied, always wanting more – that's the inherent weakness of pirates.

Since venturing into the new path of salt smuggling, Boss Wu has embarked on a new chapter in his life, and things have taken off like a whirlwind.

In Ah Jiu's memory, he seemed to have also used these pirate ships to transport smuggled salt to other surrounding countries.

However, since Ah Jiu wasn't very interested in these business matters, she only knew the general outline.

Specifically, Yu Muhuai still needs to conduct a secret investigation during this period.

Currently, the Ghost Bandits mainly have two large strongholds, one in a small coastal village and the other on an island not far from the coastline.

Xiaohai Village was originally inhabited by residents of Qingzhou Prefecture, but it was invaded by ghost bandits who burned, killed, and looted, eventually slaughtering the entire village.

Because the village was some distance from the city, and there was a rugged mountain road in between, it took several days for outsiders to discover the terrible state of the village.

These bandits were extremely cunning. Xiaohai Village was just a temporary stop for them. Once someone attacked, they would flee in advance and rarely confront the enemy head-on.

There's the sea right behind us. As long as we set sail and escape in time, it will be difficult for the pursuers to catch up.

The sea and land routes are completely different, and the weather adds a lot of variables.

Liang Xiaorong once organized a fleet of soldiers to sail to the island, intending to annihilate them in one fell swoop.

However, the enemy was well-prepared and highly motivated, and they managed to defeat Liang's army in one fell swoop.

The enemy had islands to rely on, while Liang's army was adrift at sea, unsuitable for prolonged warfare, so they had no choice but to retreat.

Several more attacks followed, all of which ended in failure.

However, after learning about the recent clashes between Liang's army and the Ghost Bandits in the camp, Yu Muhuai discovered some problems.

The Ghost Bandits always retreated and attacked in an orderly manner, without any panic, and their plans were very meticulous.

It was as if they knew about Liang Jiajun's deployment in advance.

Yu Muhuai glanced at Yao Zhan and saw the same confusion in the other's eyes.

Yu Muhuai: I think there might be problems within Liang's army.
