He said that there have recently been many cases of pirates looting property, wantonly killing civilians, and destroying public property in the coastal areas of Qingzhou Prefecture.

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

Ask the emperor to send troops to reinforce Qingzhou Mansion, cooperate with local troops, and annihilate the pirates in one fell swoop.

In recent years, there have been frequent incidents of piracy, smashing, looting and killing in coastal areas.

Most of these pirates came from an island country not far from Fenghuanguo, which is small in size and is currently in the midst of war.

Many people were displaced, lost their homes in the war, and then crossed the ocean to the rich country of Fenghui to plunder.

When the coastal dwellers first saw these pirates, they thought they had seen ghosts, so they called them devils.

Over time, this group of pirates became known as the "Oniko".

Yao Zhan went to the court with Luo Zhonghua today, and he stood up and took the initiative to ask the emperor for help, saying that he was willing to go to Qingzhou Mansion.

"The last general is willing to lead the troops to annihilate the ghosts, expel the pirates, and return peace to the people of Qingzhou Mansion."

The emperor approved it.

He demanded that Yao Zhan exterminate the pirates along the coast within three months.

Qingzhou Mansion is not close or far from the imperial city, and it will take more than a day to go alone.

If you lead an army, cavalry and infantry together, it is estimated that it will take three to five days.

Yao Zhan set off with 5,000 soldiers and horses of Xiuwu's army.

This time the operation was not on a large scale and did not attract too many people's attention.

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

.....

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

At this time, Yu Muhuai was no longer secretive, but followed Yao Zhan to protect him.

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

This is the first time Yu Muhuai has met Guo Wanying.

I've seen it once before.

That time was when I just came over and lurked in secret, and I saw Yao Zhan helping Guo Wanying on the street.

Since successfully approaching Qi Muxing, Guo Wanying has rarely had any contact with Yao Zhan.

But when Guo Wanying first came to the imperial city for a makeover, she received Yao Zhan's help. If you don't make contact with it suddenly, it will also make people suspicious.

So the two of them are interacting like ordinary friends.

This time, Guo Wanying couldn't help but come to Yao Zhan because she knew that his destination was Qingzhou Mansion.

It was her home, where all her loved ones were killed.

There, the fire consumes everything and pushes her to hell, changing her life.

Yao Zhan and Guo Wanying were on the stone benches in the courtyard, talking in a whisper, interspersed with some code words that only they understood.

Yu Muhuai stood on the roof with his arms crossed, as if to avoid it.

She was keenly aware that there were many people lurking outside Yao Zhan's courtyard now.

These are all Qi Muxing's subordinates.

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

Like is presumptuous, love is restraint.

Except for the battle for the throne, he can only be so restrained when facing Guo Wanying.

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If that's not love.....

"Brother Yao, I haven't been back for several years, I don't know if there has changed."

"Miss Guo, sooner or later, you will be able to go back openly."

“.....”

After Guo Wanying said goodbye, Yu Muhuai came down from the roof.

At present, it is not suitable for her to have too much contact with Guo Wanying, so as to avoid Qi Muxing noticing anything abnormal.

Yao Zhan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the night sky with sparse moons and stars. At this time, he was full of thoughts, and he couldn't help but show a sad look on his face.

Yu Muhuai went around to inspect the surroundings and came back after making sure that there were no stalkers, and what he saw was such a picture.

She walked slowly to Yao Zhan's side and muttered in her mouth.

"Winter and spring are gratifying, and the cold and heat are changing. The son of the poor springs will be separated forever. ”

Yao Zhan turned around, put away the sorrow caused by Guo Wanying's arrival, and wiped his face.

"Ah Jiu, what a literary style! I can't see that the kung fu is so strong, and the poetry is so outstanding! ”

Yu Muhuai shook his head helplessly and explained, "I didn't do it, it seemed before." ”

Yao Zhan was puzzled, "Which master did it?" How come I haven't heard of such a good literary style? ”

"Forget."

Hearing this perfunctory answer, Yao Zhan was not annoyed.

He continued to look up at the night sky and muttered, "Master, I will be able to see you in a few days." ”

.......

Five thousand soldiers and horses galloped all the way, slept in the open air, and came to Qingzhou Mansion in only three days.

Qingzhou Mansion is located in the coastal zone, and as soon as you enter the border, you will smell a smell of sea.

It is surrounded by mountains and seas, and the environment is beautiful.

However, because of the coast, there are bad weather such as typhoons every year.

Most of the people in Qingzhou are fishermen, and they make a living by going out to sea to fish.

If the environment changes abruptly and the sea level changes, boats will be very dangerous and the lives of fishermen will be greatly threatened.

In addition to this, they also have to watch out for pirates that appear from time to time.

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that the people of Qingzhou Mansion live a prosperous life and do not worry about eating and drinking, but in fact, they have paid a lot of costs for it.

Yao Zhan led his troops directly to the garrison troops of Qingzhou Mansion.

The general soldier of the garrison unit is named Liang Xiaorong, and the name of this garrison unit is Liang Jiajun, which is basically composed of people from several nearby cities.

Liang Xiaorong led the army to greet him at the entrance of the army, and when he saw Yao Zhan, who was the leader, he walked over from afar.

"Oops! Brother Yao, what a savior! ”

As soon as Yao Zhan got off the horse, Liang Xiaorong rushed over and grabbed him, and slapped his big palm on his back several times.

Fortunately, Yao Zhan has also practiced, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to stand this slap.

Although the military rank was higher than the other party, Yao Zhan didn't mind such a move.

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

He was a typical self-acquaintance, and when he saw Yao Zhan, he was very enthusiastic, and pulled him towards the camp one by one.

Those who were able to enter the camp were the generals of the two armies.

Seeing a thin and small person next to Yao Zhan coming in, Liang Xiaorong's big face was full of confusion.

"Brother Yao, is this also your lieutenant? This small body doesn't look like it...."

Yu Muhuai made some modifications at this time, his hair was tied into a men's bun, his face was blackened, and he was also wearing the military uniform of the Xiuwu Army.

She glanced at Liang Xiaorong and didn't say a word.

Yao Zhan hurriedly said, "Chief soldier Liang, this is my entourage, although he has no military rank, he is actually my military advisor, and his ability to march and fight cannot be underestimated. ”

"Xiaoqu? What little song? Do you usually sing songs when you fight? ”

Yu Muhuai looked at the other party with empty eyes, and his eyes were full of words, "I'm afraid it's not a mental retard." ”
