Chapter 449 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 25
The cooks around him smacked their lips; the noise wasn't enough to wake them from their slumber.

Miao Zhilang and Ge Hong were taken to an empty small tent, where they were tied up and their mouths were gagged.

Send them only one meal a day; just keep them alive as long as they're not starving.

Two days later, at dawn, the plan to attack the Ghost Bandits proceeded as scheduled.

The other lieutenants were curious about Miao Zhilang's whereabouts, but Liang Xiaorong didn't say anything, and no one asked.

The more troublesome one is the Mandarin Duck Formation with Miao Zhilang as the captain.

The other 11 people in each group had already been assigned, but now there was a temporary shortage of a team leader, leaving the other 10 people somewhat at a loss.

Just then, Yu Muhuai, dressed in full armor and wearing a helmet, stepped forward.

Holding the flag belonging to the squad leader, she walked towards the mandarin duck formation and filled the vacancy at the head of the line.

Although she had never trained with the rest of the team, no one knew her combat skills.

However, due to their inherently obedient nature as soldiers, they did not raise any objections.

Yu Muhuai stood in the captain's position, exuding a calm demeanor and commanding presence.

Reporting to the Emperor above, saving the common people below; slaughtering all the Japanese invaders, seeking a title and honor. — Triumphant Song

The army set off for the enemy's stronghold on the shore.

This time, no one tipped them off, and the Ghost Bandits were caught completely off guard.

Moreover, the Mandarin Duck Formation is truly effective against the Ghost Bandits.

Their previously invincible swordsmanship was difficult to apply when facing such a well-rounded and versatile Mandarin Duck Formation.

Holding a banner in his left hand and a long sword in his right, Yu Muhuai directed his teammates in both offense and defense while also looking for opportunities to kill the enemy.

Invincible.

The number of enemy soldiers in the stronghold was less than 10,000. How could they possibly be a match for a well-trained and well-prepared regular army?

In this battle, the ten thousand enemy soldiers were utterly annihilated.

Xiuwu's army and Liang's army together lost only a little over two hundred men.

This is a big win.

Only a few hundred bandits, realizing they were no match for the enemy, took advantage of the chaos to board boats and sail away from the coast.

It was obvious that they went to inform the enemy on the island.

Don't pursue a desperate enemy. Besides, we've already won a great victory today, so there's no need to waste energy chasing after those few escaped mice.

The initial victory brought jubilation throughout the entire army.

That evening, an extremely excited Liang Xiaorong held a victory celebration banquet in the military camp, ordering people to bring in fine wine and meat so that the soldiers could eat and drink to their hearts' content.

To live up to the name Ah Jiu, Yu Muhuai also took a jar of wine and sat down to drink it.

Although this wine is crudely brewed, it cannot compare to the wine of Yingxuelou in terms of quality.

However, Yu Muhuai still prefers the wine here.

It has a more human touch and a more mellow aftertaste.

As Yu Muhuai slowly sipped his wine, he suddenly remembered Cang Ju's words.

Don't forget who you are.

She looked up at the starry sky.

Fortunately, I haven't forgotten.

Liang Xiaorong was very excited tonight. After being frustrated for so long, he finally won a victory and killed so many enemy bandits. He was so happy that his smile never disappeared all night.

At this moment, Liang Xiaorong, who had drunk quite a bit, saw Yu Muhuai and Yao Zhan drinking silently to the side and couldn't help but come over.

"Brother Yao, Brother Ajiu, drinking alone is no fun. Come on, drink with your brothers!"

Let's go! Let's drink! We won't leave until we're drunk!

Liang Xiaorong staggered up to Yu Muhuai and prepared to scoop her up and head towards the bustling area.

Yu Muhuai remained unmoved with a cold face, while Yao Zhan threw down the wine jar and squeezed over.

When Liang Xiaorong pulled the person close to him, he realized something was wrong. He tried to open his drunken, blurry eyes as wide as possible to look at the face so close to his.

"Wait a minute, Brother Ajiu, you look so much like General Yao! Are you two brothers?"

The other person's breath reeked of alcohol and sprayed it all over Yao Zhan's face.

Yao Zhan was helpless. He helped Liang Xiaorong walk away, saying as they went, "Go drink, go drink, don't stop!"

That night, apart from the soldiers on duty and patrolling, almost everyone else got completely drunk.

Liang Xiaorong, clutching a jar of wine, collapsed below the high platform in the training ground.

Even though he was already completely drunk, he kept muttering to himself.

"Come on! Drink! Anyone who doesn't drink is a coward!"

Meanwhile, Yao Zhan and Yu Muhuai had already left the military camp and arrived at a desolate and abandoned mansion.

This is Guo Wei's former residence.

Although it is located in a good location within Qingzhou Prefecture, no one has dared to build a residence here in the past five years.

The case has been closed, but the public still feels that something is amiss.

Later, some people even reported seeing strange things at night.

Some say the place is haunted; some say they've seen deceased members of the Guo family appear here; some say they've seen flickering lights at the Guo residence at night.
Gradually, the rumors about Guo's residence became increasingly bizarre.

Despite the various opinions, the people of Qingzhou Prefecture all agreed on one thing.

This is an ominous place.

Yu Muhuai and Yao Zhan were standing in this "ominous place" at this moment.

The Guo residence is not large; compared to some corrupt officials or wealthy businessmen, it is only large enough for them to live in.

Five years is enough time to seal away many past events, but it cannot erase the traces of those who were hurt.

Every brick, tile, beam, and piece of wood here is stained black, a testament to the devastating fire that once ravaged them.

Yao Zhan arrived at the open space in the center and knelt down facing southeast.

After kowtowing three times, Yao Zhan faced the void ahead and recounted his past with Guo Wei.

Yao Zhan was once just a poor child from a poor family who had lost both his parents.

There's even an elderly grandmother at home to support.

To fill his stomach and survive, he entered the mine at a young age through the introduction of a relative.

One day, Guo Wei, an ordinary official, came to the mine for inspection and met Yao Zhan.

The skinny little boy was shirtless, with a towel around his neck whose color was no longer discernible.

On Yao Zhan's small shoulders, he carried not only ore, but also his life and his hope.

Looking at the little boy who only reached his waist, Guo Wei stopped and asked about his condition.

Because of long-term work in the mine, his face was covered in mine dust, making it impossible to see his features.

Yao Zhan was somewhat intimidated by the other party, but still stammered as he explained.

At his age, he didn't think about stealing or robbing, nor did he beg. Instead, he worked diligently to support himself.

Looking into the other person's clear eyes, Guo Wei was moved.

He took Yao Zhan home, cleaned him up, and gave him some money.

Yao Zhan initially refused to accept the money, but Guo Wei said, "This money will accrue interest; you can pay me back when you are able to."

The little boy hesitated for a long time, but finally accepted it.

He is able to assess situations and is not stubborn; he is upright and filial to his grandmother.

Guo Wei thought highly of Yao Zhan, and would occasionally visit his small, dilapidated house to help him out.
