I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 443 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 19
Yu Muhuai was almost asleep when he was abruptly woken up.

She frowned, her eyes still closed, and after a while she slowly spoke, her tone languid, as if her sleep had been interrupted.

"I've seen some of Qi Muxing's private soldiers carry that kind of ghost blade."

Afterwards, Yu Muhuai briefly explained how Qijun had found the evidence of communication with Boss Wu.

When Yao Zhan heard about this for the first time, he sat up abruptly in bed and couldn't help but shout angrily.

"How could such a thing happen! He's a high-ranking official!"

Yao Zhan swallowed the rest of the words.

Just then, the voices of patrolling soldiers came from outside the tent.

"Commander, what's wrong? Are you alright?"

A short while later, Yao Zhan's soft cough could be heard from inside.

"No, it's nothing. I just had a dream. You may all leave now."

"Yes."

Soon, the sound of patrolling soldiers leaving could be heard outside the tent.

Calmness returned to the camp.

Yao Zhan's breathing was initially heavy, but he gradually calmed down and understood the implications.

He lowered his voice, "If we have evidence that Qi Muxing smuggled weapons, proving that he used them to arm his private army."

Furthermore, because he disregarded the common people and engaged in business with pirates, he fattened up those scoundrels. This led to the coastal areas being plagued by pirates, and innocent people being killed.

Then we can finally bring down Qi Muxing!

Yu Muhuai rested one hand under his head, opened his eyes and looked at the top of the tent.

The faint light from the fire outside shone in, and she could only make out indistinct outlines.

“I have the evidence of Mr. Wu’s communications with the outside world. But this alone is not enough to be considered valid evidence. They can easily argue that these letters are forged, and that handwriting analysis technology is not that professional these days.”

What kind of identification is needed for handwriting analysis?

"It's nothing. And even if we prove that salt and weapons were smuggled, it would only prove that Boss Wu was a traitor."

Although Qi Muxing couldn't live without Boss Wu, he could abandon these people when it really came down to it.

Therefore, we must not act rashly, but be patient, even more patient than Qi Muxing, and hide our true intentions even more deeply.

"We'll accumulate strength and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike a decisive blow, ensuring Qi Muxing's eternal damnation."

Yao Zhan sat on the bed, silently looking at the bedside.

These words were calm and restrained, and Yao Zhan sensed Yu Muhuai's determination to drag Qi Muxing down with him.

He could only see a dark shadow over there, and he couldn't even make out Yu Muhuai's outline.

Yao Zhan suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

He didn't know what kind of harm the other party had suffered at Qi Muxing's hands to become so stoic and repressed.

Such a strong heart must be sustained by a burning desire for revenge in order to remain steadfast.

He knew about Guo Wanying's past, but he only knew bits and pieces about the past of the woman opposite him.

What kind of harm did she suffer?

"Ajiu, if you want to cry, just cry. Sometimes you don't have to be so strong. Sometimes when I think of Lord Guo, I also want to cry."

Yu Muhuai: ? ? ?

"Why should I cry?"

Yao Zhan sighed deeply, his eyes, which often feigned a smile, now carrying a hint of sadness. "I understand you. If you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. I'll wait for the day you willingly tell me, and then I'll cry with you."

"No, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Never mind, go to sleep. It's okay, I understand."

Yu Muhuai: Ma's mental disability.

Over the next two days, Yao Zhan ordered Xiuwu Army and Liang Family Army to train together, so that these soldiers from the inland would get used to water combat and adapt to the rhythm of naval warfare as soon as possible.

He and Yu Muhuai disguised themselves and headed towards the area where the ghost bandits were most concentrated.

Qingzhou Prefecture was built on the coast, facing the sea on one side, backed by mountains on the other, and with relatively flat land routes on both sides.

But this is only relatively flat; there are reefs, ravines, shallows, canals, and small hills everywhere. You have to be careful to avoid them even when walking, let alone during a war.

Because of the annual typhoon season, this area is not suitable for building high walls around the city, so Qingzhou Prefecture does not have outer walls for protection like other cities.

The expansive terrain was more suitable for fishermen to dry their crops and do farm work, but when the bandits attacked, it made it difficult for them to find effective hiding places.

According to the information gathered by Liang Xiaorong, the pirates' side was not impregnable or a monolithic entity.

When dealing with outsiders, they are in cahoots, like snakes and rats in a den.

However, internally, it split into several small factions.

The group that most enjoyed ambushing ordinary people and taking pleasure in killing was a subordinate of a bandit named Matsujumaru.

Matsujumaru is a member of the Matsuju family in Japan.

More than a hundred years ago, the Matsuju family became famous in the island nation for its unique Matsuju sword technique passed down through generations, and they recruited many apprentices in an attempt to expand the family's influence.

Over time, the Songshou family has many branches and collateral branches, with countless inner disciples and nominal disciples outside.

Matsujumaru is a child from a collateral branch of the family. In recent years, the Matsuju family has experienced a major split.

Different people have their own allies.

As their political views diverged and their ideologies grew increasingly skeptical, their conflicts escalated from petty squabbles to armed confrontations, sometimes even resulting in a life-or-death struggle.

The vast system of the Matsuju family was thus torn apart, and former relatives and masters and disciples may now be enemies on the battlefield.

Matsujumaru's unit suffered heavy casualties in a war, with most of its members killed or wounded, and Matsujumaru himself was also seriously injured.

With the help of his confidants, he finally escaped, but had nowhere to stay, so he had to cross the ocean and arrive at the coast of Fenghuan Kingdom.

The Matsuju family's swordsmanship has been passed down for over a hundred years, so they must have something extraordinary about it.

Their swordsmanship, combined with the use of the Ghost Blade, complemented each other and formed a unique style.

In terms of individual combat ability, Matsujumaru's group of men could be considered the strongest among the pirates.

That is why they could enter Qingzhou Prefecture as if it were their own territory, going wherever they wanted.

They committed atrocities such as arson, murder, looting, rape, and vandalism, leaving no stone unturned.

Each time they leave, they leave behind only a mess.

The corpses of the common people in Fenghuan Kingdom were even more gruesome, and some women even had unspeakable signs of abuse on their bodies.

Liang Xiaorong deeply resented these bandits, but in several encounters, all ended in the defeat of Liang's army.

The island nation has a small land area, and the Matsuju family's swordsmanship is sharp and fierce, making them very suitable for urban warfare or skirmishes.

In addition, there might be an inside traitor who would tip off the deployment and plans in advance.

After suffering several defeats, the Liang family army would feel apprehensive whenever they saw the bandits of the Songshou family, their fighting spirit would be low, and they would only want to retreat and save their lives.
