I became a big shot in the quick transmigration world.

Chapter 454 Master, Don't Force Me to Take Action 30
Yu Muhuai completely ignored Boss Wu's pleas for mercy, walked out of the room, and went outside.

Yao Zhan stood here waiting for her.

Upon seeing her come out, Yao Zhan informed her of the progress outside, "Everything is almost ready."

"Ah."

The two looked up together at the distant, azure sky.

The war between Qingzhou Prefecture and the Ghost Bandits has temporarily come to an end, but the war between the two of them is far from over.

The real battle is yet to come.

Qingzhou Prefecture was peaceful. The people in the city were unaware that while they were busy making a living, several ships were traveling back and forth on the eastern coastline, transporting heads and soldiers.

Boss Wu's men all thought their boss was fine, since most of them didn't know that Boss Wu was actually Qi Muxing's bodyguard, so they didn't think much of it.

As a major source of income for the Ghost Bandits, they believed that the Ghost Bandits would not harm Boss Wu.

Jia Mingdao was still thinking about how much money he could make later, worried that Liang Xiaorong would take the lion's share, and was discussing it with his subordinates in the study.

In the nearby mountains, tens of thousands of people were also conducting their regular drills.

It was a calm and uneventful day, seemingly no different from any other.

The next morning, before dawn, the darkness before sunrise was filled with the deepest loneliness.

Yin Shi, which is around 4 a.m.

A sizable force moved through the woods; they had been there for some time.

The soldiers marched in an orderly and disciplined manner on the rugged mountain road where it was pitch black, yet not a single one fell behind.

They walked side by side, closely following the steps of the person in front. Even if they couldn't see the road clearly, as long as the person in front was walking correctly, the people behind wouldn't have any problems.

Qi Muxing's secret base is hidden in a deep valley in the mountains.

On either side of the canyon stand two majestic mountains.

A stream flows through the canyon. The stream is shallow, and at its deepest point it only reaches an adult's calf, so it is easy to cross.

This stream has solved the drinking water problem for so many people in the canyon.

The canyon is pocket-shaped, narrow on both sides and with a large, round belly in the middle.

People from outside would enter by following the stream and then exit by following the winding, clear water.

Such uniquely advantageous conditions make it an ideal place to train private soldiers.

So even when Guo Wei discovered him back then, Qi Muxing never thought of leaving.

Rather than leaving and choosing a new environment, it's better to kill those who stand in your way.

If someone stands in the way of a person, he will kill someone; if someone stands in the way of a Buddha, he will kill the Buddha.

Both entrances and exits of the canyon are guarded by private soldiers.

Outside the entrance, there are five more lines of defense.

The outermost layer consisted of traps, nearly ten feet deep (equivalent to about 3 meters in modern terms), with many sharpened pieces of wood stuck inside.

The second layer consists of animal traps scattered throughout the jungle.

The third layer consists of ropes hidden under the grass. If a person or animal accidentally steps into the ropes, they will be immediately hung upside down from the tree.

The fourth layer was made of wooden planks, which were covered with sharp iron nails.

If the mechanism is triggered, the ropes hanging the planks from the trees will loosen, causing the planks to tilt and riddle the target with holes.

The innermost layer consisted of thin ropes with bells tied to them.

If someone accidentally touches it while no one is paying attention, it will alert the guards outside the canyon that something is approaching.

That way they will come out to investigate.

These traps not only prevent outsiders from approaching, but also allow for hunting.

The private soldiers in the canyon supplemented their nutrition with the meat and salt they hunted, in addition to the rice and salt that were delivered regularly.

The person who provided food and weapons to the private soldiers inside was Boss Wu. Although Boss Wu had never entered the canyon, his men would regularly deliver supplies to them.

As shrewd as Boss Wu was, although he had never been in contact with private soldiers, he still inquired about the situation in the canyon among his men.

Therefore, Yu Muhuai and others were also questioned.

In the past few days, besides training the soldiers in the Mandarin Duck Formation, she and Yao Zhan also went to scout outside the secret base.

Based on the information provided by Boss Wu, they have already determined the route into the canyon.

Even so, Yu Muhuai and Yao Zhan, who were at the front, still walked very cautiously.

She and Liang Xiaorong led the Liang family army, while Yao Zhan led the Xiuwu army and reinforcements alone to the other side of the canyon.

The two groups of troops formed an encirclement, preparing to trap the turtle in a jar.

The army set off last night and has only just reached the outer edge of the canyon.

Liang Xiaorong still doesn't know what's hidden in the canyon.

Yao Zhan told him yesterday that there was another stronghold of the Ghost Bandits here.

"Huh? Aren't those bandits pirates? Naval warfare is their forte, so why are they setting up strongholds deep in the mountains and forests?"

"Uh"

Yu Muhuai quickly picked up the conversation, speaking seriously and earnestly.

"Because the Ghost Bandits are too ambitious, they not only want to cause trouble in the coastal areas, but also want to occupy Qingzhou Prefecture."

After seizing land and oppressing the people, they expand their territory and invade the Phoenix Kingdom!

Liang Xiaorong immediately widened his eyes, without a doubt, spat out a curse.

"beat!"

Yu Muhuai glanced at Liang Xiaorong, who was following behind, wondering how he would react when he saw the scene inside the canyon.

The number of guards outside the canyon was limited, and it was late at night when people were more likely to let their guard down. In addition, the outer layers of defense did not react.

The guards had no idea that a large number of troops were already lurking around.

Having silently dealt with the guards outside, Yu Muhuai and the others followed the stream into the canyon.

Upon entering the canyon, the view suddenly opens up.

On the other side, Yao Zhan and the others were making similar progress.

The hour of Yin (3-5 AM) is when people are sound asleep.

The canyon was indeed a hidden paradise; on one side of the mountain was a huge cave with a large interior space, forming a natural rest area.

They could sleep in a shed set up inside the cave; the private soldiers usually rested in the cave.

There are also many weapons on display, clothes drying in the sun, and a few stone platforms where you can cook.

The open space in the canyon is a natural training ground for martial arts.

By the dim moonlight, Yu Muhuai looked around at everything inside and couldn't help but nod in approval.

No one knows where Qi Muxing got his good fortune from, finding such a good secret base in such a remote mountain forest.

Liang Xiaorong stood there dumbfounded, like someone who had never seen the world before.

Then he couldn't help but shake his head, click his tongue, and purse his lips.

If Yu Muhuai hadn't glared at him in time, this man would probably have spoken up to express his surprise.

After a brief moment of surprise, it's time to take action.

After meeting up with Yao Zhan, who had come in from the other side, the group huddled together and briefly discussed their plan of action.

They then led their respective troops, drew their weapons, and swiftly and silently entered the cave.
