Chapter 361 It Will End Sooner or Later
In front of the mighty cavalry formation, even those fearless and ready-to-die warriors seemed small and fragile, unable to withstand the overwhelming impact.

The cavalry only needed to make a slight move, and after a round of charge, the dead soldiers would no longer be seen on the battlefield.

"Master Hou!"

Sanhe ran over immediately and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Qiu Yue was not injured.

"See if the leader is dead." Qiu Yue waved his hand and said in a cold tone.

Sanhe walked over quickly and found that the man had already died. He pinched open his mouth and felt around for a while before coming back to report, "My Lord, this man hid poison in his teeth. He must have been afraid of being captured alive, so he bit the poison pill and committed suicide."

"Hmph! Why don't you use your courage for something else? Why do you have to do something as useless as this!" Qiu Yue said in a cold voice.

He glanced at the cavalry, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "Are all the people on patrol today here?!"

A sturdy man with a protruding forehead and narrow eyes clasped his hands and said, "To reply to your Majesty, we rushed out as soon as we saw the signal flare."

"Confused!"

Qiu Yue was furious. He jumped on his horse and galloped towards the camp.

At this time, in the camp prison, Zheng Futian was lying on a wooden bed and sleeping.

Just then, a soldier from the Beijing camp walked in, took out the key and opened the cell.

Zheng Futian was woken up, sat up, looked at the person in confusion and asked, "You guys are still trying to interrogate me so late at night?"

The soldier silently pierced his chest with a sword, then turned his ankle and drew out the sword in a perfect arc, cutting his throat and making Zheng Futian unable to make a sound.

Zheng Futian widened his eyes in disbelief. Wasn't it said that the entire Beijing camp had been controlled by Qiu Yue?

How come there is a killer who sneaked in? !

However, his life was gone and these questions could no longer be answered. Zheng Futian's vision gradually blurred and finally sank into endless darkness. All his reluctance, doubts and fears disappeared as his breathing stopped.

After completing the mission, the soldier's figure quickly dissipated like a wisp of smoke in the night, leaving no trace, as if he had never appeared.

When Qiu Yue hurried over, he saw Zheng Futian lying on the ground with his eyes open.

"call!."

Qiu Yue exhaled slowly, and said with a cold look: "Okay, okay, these bastards don't want to follow the rules, right?! Sanhe, call for troops!"

"My Lord, think twice!"

Upon hearing this, Sanhe's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly dissuaded him, "Mobilizing the army without permission will result in death!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, his chest heaving as if he was trying his best to suppress the rage surging in his chest.

He closed his eyes and thought for a moment. When his mind calmed down, he slowly opened his eyes and said, "Pass on my military order. Immediately investigate all the people who entered and left the cell today. No one should be left out! Also, find someone to take a look at Zheng Futian's body."

"Yes!" Sanhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Qiu Yue regain his composure.

After Sanhe left, Qiu Yue began to wonder whether this group of people's target was him or Zheng Futian?
But soon, Qiu Yue came to his senses and realized that the real target was him, and Zheng Futian was just a byproduct.

At this time, Taoist Wang Chengwu, who heard the news, rushed over. He had originally come here on the emperor's orders to assist the Beijing Camp in improving the Shenji Camp, but he did not expect that such a thing would happen after just one day in the military camp.

After greeting Qiu Yue, Taoist Wang Chengwu came over and checked the wound on Zheng Futian's body. He said in surprise, "This man is an expert in swordsmanship!"

"How do you know?" Qiu Yue asked curiously. "My Lord, look," Taoist Wang Chengwu pointed to the wound on his neck and said, "The sword that cut his neck is the Kunlun School's Weak Wind Blowing Willows. The sword that cut his chest is a bit like the White Rainbow Piercing the Sun in the Huashan Sword Technique."

"Master Wang, are you saying that this person is from the underworld?" Qiu Yue continued to ask.

"Yeah, pretty close."

Taoist priest Wang Chengwu nodded, then hesitated: "But Huashan Sect originally had few disciples, how could there be some who were wandering outside?"

"Thank you, Taoist Wang, for your guidance." Qiu Yue bowed to express his gratitude.

Later, the coroner arrived and found no other information. Seeing this, Qiu Yue turned around and left the prison.

At this moment in the Beijing camp, a large number of soldiers, at the request of the military officers, all came to the parade ground, lined up and were interrogated.

Qiu Yue just took a look and went straight back to his tent. He wrote a memorial to tell the emperor what he had encountered today.

So the next morning, when Ou Zanghua came out of the Weiyang Palace, his carriage was surrounded by a group of fully armed soldiers.

He got off the car in a daze, and began to wonder what he had done to disrespect the imperial authority that caused the other party to send out soldiers to encircle and suppress him.

Including but not limited to beating the emperor, implying Taizong, and making fun of the previous emperor.
hiss!
Ou Zanghua felt like a pill.

A sturdy man with a prominent forehead bone and narrow eyes came over and said, "Sir Ou, I am Sukhbaru, a captain of the Imperial Guards. I am here to protect you as you return to the capital by the order of His Majesty."

"Just to protect safety?" Ou Zanghua was stunned and asked hesitantly.

Sukhbaru looked serious, with a cold murderous intent bursting out of his narrow eyes: "If Lord Ou finds any suspicious people, I can also lead a special force to eliminate them."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious." Ou Zanghua asked calmly, "Everything is fine in Tongzhou, and I'm loved by the people. Why did you suddenly send elite troops like you to protect me?"

"Master Ou, you may not know that several major events have occurred in the capital in the past two days."

Sukhbaru said angrily, "The Marquis was assassinated, and Censor Zhang was murdered. His Majesty is worried about Lord Ou's safety, so he specially asked me to come and protect him."

"what?!"

Ou Zanghua's expression changed and he asked, "Are you talking about Lord Zhang Tai, Right Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate?"

"That's right!" Sukhbaru nodded.

"Tsk! What a waste of time." Ou Zanghua complained with a look of disgust, and then began to think about his own situation.

Zhang Tai, the whistleblower, was murdered, and Qiu Yue, who was in charge of the reform of the Beijing camp, was assassinated. Among the civil officials, only the Minister of War He Jian and him were left.

Thinking of He Jian, Ou Zanghua asked, "What about the Minister of War, Mr. He?"

Sukhbaru replied, "Lord He has been confined to his house because his servants were reported to have taken money from officers."

"All right!"

Ou Zanghua now understood why Emperor Zhengde sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard to protect him when he returned to Beijing.

Is he worried that those people will attack him too?
