Wang Hui, who was eating the meat, curiously turned his head in the direction of the sound. He did not see anything, but he heard a few cries of pain. Therefore, Wang Hui put down the bowl in his hand and walked over with Ol 'Zhou.
After squeezing through the crowd, Wang Hui saw a soldier clutching his stomach and writhing on the ground. A few other soldiers squatted down beside him and looked at him anxiously. The rest of them stood around him.
"What's wrong?"
Wang Hui quickly asked.
A soldier said anxiously, "I don't know, General. Tian Sheng was fine earlier, but he suddenly clutched his stomach and said it hurts. Then, he lay down!"
With the light from the torch, Wang Hui noticed that the soldier's forehead was covered in sweat. This was clearly not normal.
Therefore, Wang Hui, who realized that something was wrong, quickly shouted, "Go get the military doctor!"
The group of soldiers quickly ran away. Not long after, someone came back to report, "The military doctor went into the mountains to pick herbs. He's not in the camp now!"
"What?"
Wang Hui was shocked. He turned around and looked at the soldier who was clutching his stomach in pain. He was at a loss for words.
At that moment, without any warning, a few more soldiers suddenly clutched their stomachs and fell to the ground, crying out in pain. Then, more soldiers fell to the ground, crying out in pain as well. The scene instantly turned chaotic.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Wang Hui looked around anxiously. His mind was blank.
At that moment, Ol 'Zhou, who was beside Wang Hui, also clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.
"Ol 'Zhou! Ol 'Zhou! What's wrong? Ol 'Zhou?! "
Wang Hui quickly squatted down and hugged Ol 'Zhou.
"Stomach … hurts … hurts …"
Ol 'Zhou pressed his stomach with all his might. The expression on his face was one of extreme pain. Then …
He vomited out a mouthful of blood.
"Ol 'Zhou!"
Wang Hui watched helplessly as Old Zhou vomited a mouthful of blood. Then, Old Zhou grabbed onto Wang Hui's shirt tightly with one hand as he let out a "Hehe" sound as his legs flailed about.
"Ol 'Zhou! Ol 'Zhou! What's wrong? Ol 'Zhou?! "
"Brother! Brother! What's wrong? "
"General! Dadan Zhou could not hold on any longer! General! "
"General, what's going on?"
"General! Li Zhuang vomited blood! "
… …
For a moment, the scene that should have been joyous became like the end of the world. Soldiers everywhere were clutching their stomachs in pain, and some were even vomiting blood. The number of soldiers who were fine decreased, and soon, most of them were lying on the ground in pain.
Wang Hui finally realized that this was not an ordinary accident. It was more like a mass poisoning incident. Otherwise, there would not be so many soldiers falling to the ground in such a short period of time.
It was either water poisoning or food poisoning.
In an instant, a scene was fixed in Wang Hui's mind.
He and Old Zhou exchanged their bowls. He ate the meat and Old Zhou drank the wine.
Now, Old Zhou was lying in his arms, twisting his body and constantly vomiting blood and screaming that his stomach hurt, but he was completely fine.
There was poison in the wine!
Wine … wine … wine was sent by the imperial court … wasn't it? The documents from the Ministry of War could not be wrong. The seal could not be wrong. The imperial carriage and the imperial seal could not be wrong. This must have been sent by the imperial court!
But why would the imperial court poison the wine?
Why?
The conversation between him and Xiao Ruxun reappeared in Wang Hui's mind.
The sound of something piercing through the air was heard.
Oh no! Oh no!
Wang Hui's hair stood on end. Almost reflexively, he hugged Old Zhou and rolled to the side. At that moment, three arrows were stuck in the place where they were standing. At the same time, there were screams.
Wang Hui looked around and found that the scene in front of him was a complete mess. Countless arrows were stuck in the ground, and some were stuck in the bodies of the soldiers who were unable to move in time to defend themselves.
Most of the soldiers were poisoned and couldn't move. Only a few could move.
The imperial court made a move?
Shen Yicheng made a move? He wanted to kill people?!
In the blink of an eye, Wang Hui roared almost instinctively, "Those who can still move, retreat into the camp! Retreat to the camp! "
At that moment, the Zhennan Army's excellent training and strong sense of danger showed its true value.
In a state of emergency, when the commander could not give an order through the war drums and horns, every soldier who heard the commander's voice had to take the initiative to convey the commander's order to the people around them.
Every order in the Southern Battlefront Army's drill manual was deeply imprinted in every soldier's mind. Almost instinctively, the soldiers who could still move immediately yelled at the top of their lungs when they heard Wang Hui's voice, and then quickly ran into the camp.
Wang Hui carried Old Zhou and ran into the camp with all his might.
He ignored the piercing sound and screams behind him. He knew it was useless.
He didn't know how many people were out there, and he didn't know how many people were left with him. However, he knew that the only chance of survival was right before his eyes. He could only retreat to the deeper part of the camp and try to organize the remaining soldiers.
Only when the Zhennan Army gathered together could they unleash their true combat power.
Besides, Wang Hui was more worried about Xiao Ruxun in the city. He only had fifty guards to protect him.
If the imperial court wanted to kill him and sent people to surround his men, didn't that mean …
No! It couldn't be! Nothing would happen to that legendary man!
Wang Hui had an almost blind faith and worship in Xiao Ruxun. He firmly believed that this ever-victorious man would not fail. Not now, not in the future.
He wanted to reorganize the army and find out which despicable people wanted to kill them.
At the same time, the West Mountain to the west of the capital was lit up by countless torches. A rain of arrows was fired in a certain direction, and screams could be heard.
After about half an hour, the screams stopped. Xiao Heng rode on his horse and looked forward with a cold expression.
Soon, an armored officer covered in blood walked over and knelt on one knee in front of Boss Xiao.
"Vice minister, the rebels have all been wiped out. Not a single one survived."
Xiao Daheng frowned.
"Not a single one survived?"
"Yes, we didn't find any survivors. The things that you said …"
Before the armored officer could finish, there was a commotion behind him.
"Found them!"
"Found them!"
… …
Such voices continued to be heard. Soon, a group of soldiers carried several corpses to Xiao Heng.
"Vice minister! We found the eunuchs in embroidered robes you mentioned! "
These soldiers threw seven or eight corpses on the ground. A dozen torches were close to them. Xiao Heng jumped off his horse and looked down.
"Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Good! Good! These are the eunuchs I want! "
Xiao Heng pointed at one of the corpses and said, "Wipe the blood off his face and bring it to me!"
As soon as Boss Xiao gave the order, the soldiers naturally went to do it. After a while, the corpse was wiped clean of blood and sent to Boss Xiao.
"Zhang Cheng! Zhang Cheng! You traitor, you deserve this! Hahahaha! "
Xiao Heng was overjoyed. "Good! Good! Good! Those damned eunuchs are finally executed! Hahahahaha! Hahahahaha! Leave some people behind to burn these corpses. The rest will follow me back to the camp of the other rebel army to see what's going on! "
"Yes!"
The army began to move. However, when Xiao Heng led his army to the vicinity of the Zhennan Army camp, he was surprised to hear a lot of shouting.
This made Xiao Daheng frown.
"Have the rebels not been wiped out yet?"
