Besides lying down, I also know a little about power struggles

Chapter 127 Look, there is someone flying in the sky...

Captain Zhou, who was standing by, was already dumbfounded.

"General, Lieutenant General Guo, what are you doing..."

"Don't you understand?" Guo Yin pushed the civil servant to the ground. "These people want to harm the general."

"Ah?" Captain Zhou was shocked. "But I checked their documents. Could it be that their identities are fake?"

"Shut up." Guo Yin glanced at him impatiently, "I will listen to the general in everything."

He was Sui Yongdao's confidant, and his words were equivalent to Sui Yongdao's words. Captain Zhou immediately shut up, still with a confused and uneasy look on his face.

Sui Yongdao ignored the two men's comments, walked up to the civil servant, looked down at him, and slowly said, "Who are you?"

"I am Zhao Heng, the Deputy Minister of Personnel."

Zhao Heng's hands were tied, and only his legs could move. He raised his head, struggled to half-kneel, and glared at Sui Yong, "General Sui, what is your intention in tying up the imperial envoy?"

"What do you mean?" Sui Yongdao laughed, then his expression withered and his eyes turned cold. "You are just a sixth-rank official, and you dare to pretend to be an imperial envoy. You are so bold!"

Zhao Heng was shocked.

"Ridiculous!" he shouted, "Your Majesty's edict is with me. If I'm not the imperial envoy, who else can be the imperial envoy?"

Sui Yongdao looked down at him, looking at him as if he were an ant on the ground.

He squatted down and patted his face: "I know the news in the capital better than you do. Tell me the truth, where is Feng Twelve?"

Zhao Heng's lips trembled: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

Sui Yongdao laughed out loud.

He stood up and stretched out his hand to Guo Yin: "Give me the knife."

Guo Yin drew out his sword and handed it to Sui Yongdao.

Sui Yongdao weighed the knife in his hand, looked at Zhao Heng coldly, and suddenly swung it downwards.

"what!"

Zhao Heng let out a scream.

"Hahahaha-"

The hearty laughter rang out again. Sui Yongdao held the knife in one hand, and the sharp blade fell on Zhao Heng's shoulder, but no blood was seen.

Zhao Heng closed his eyes tightly, his whole body was trembling, his face was pale and covered with sweat.

"Coward."

Sui Yongdao looked at him with contempt, "With this little ability, you still dare to fool me?"

Zhao Heng slowly opened his eyes, looked at the blade on his shoulder, and then fell to the ground as if he was exhausted.

He gasped for breath, his voice hoarse: "A gentleman can be killed... but not humiliated..."

Sui Yongdao narrowed his eyes and sank the blade downward.

"Ah!" Zhao Heng screamed again.

This time a bloody mark appeared on his shoulder, and as the blade slowly cut into the flesh, Zhao Heng began to twitch all over.

Sui Yongdao stared at him, his tone cold: "I have killed more people than you have eaten meat. Do you believe that if you piss me off, I will cut off pieces of your flesh and feed them to you?"

Zhao Heng's throat rolled and the flesh on his face almost wrinkled together.

"W-What do you want to know?"

"Where is Feng Twelve?" Sui Yongdao glanced at the tent behind him, "There are more than just these few of you, right? Where are the others? What do you want to do?"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a commotion in the distance.

Sui Yongdao frowned and said to Guo Yin, "Go and see what's going on?"

Guo Yin responded and walked away. After a few steps, he saw a thick smoke rising from the commotion.

"General, it seems there's a fire."

Even as he was speaking, another column of smoke rose up from another direction, and beneath the thick smoke there was a blazing fire.

"General..." Guo Yin swallowed the words on his lips, because he saw smoke billowing from several places again, all near the main camp.

"What general?" Sui Yongdao cursed, "Send the order immediately, the whole camp is on alert, the enemy is coming!"

"Pfft!"

A column of blood spurted out and a head flew up.

When Guo Yin heard the sound, he turned his head and looked. His eyes suddenly opened wide, revealing the whites of his eyes.

He stared blankly at the head flying in the air, and the blood drained from his face.

That is Sui Yongdao's head.

Guo Yin felt his hands and feet go numb and he couldn't move them for a long time. He turned his neck stiffly and looked towards Sui Yongdao's side.

Sui Yongdao's body was still standing upright, and the knife in his hand was even on Zhao Heng's shoulder.

However, above his neck, there was nothing.

Beside him, a soldier from the camp stood coldly.

Guo Yin blinked rapidly, his eyes moving back and forth between the soldier and Sui Yongdao's remains.

The soldier was wearing a leather helmet and facing the backlight, so he couldn't see clearly what he looked like, but Guo Yin knew very well that he was the one who killed Sui Yongdao, because he was holding a long knife in his right hand, and bright red thick blood was slowly flowing down the blade.

Guo Yin was stunned for a long while before finally regaining his breath.

"Captain Zhou! Why don't you arrest him?"

He almost screamed out loud, moved his feet, and ran back.

He only ran two steps when several spears shot out from the side and stabbed at him in the head and face.

Guo Yin quickly drew his sword.

When his fingers touched the empty scabbard, he remembered that he had just given the knife to Sui Yongdao.

Guo Yin crouched down and rolled on the ground in a panic. When he tried to get up, several spears were already pressing down on his head, pinning him to the ground.

Guo Yin dared not move any more and shouted hoarsely: "I surrender!"

A moment later, he was tied up.

He knelt on the ground, looked up at the person who walked up to him, his pupils constricted.

"Captain Zhou, it's you!"

Captain Zhou slightly turned sideways, revealing another figure behind him.

It was the soldier who killed Sui Yongdao.

Guo Yin shrank back unconsciously, watching the man take off the leather helmet on his head, revealing a cold and handsome face.

"Seal... seal... His Highness the Twelve?"

Although he had a premonition, he was still terrified when he actually saw the face clearly.

At what time did Feng Twelve enter the military camp?
Why did Captain Zhou help him?

Was there an early connection between the two?
He looked around and saw that the team of soldiers who had been guarding outside the tent had brought the captives out and untied the ropes on them.

The minor official named Zhao Heng had already been untied and was sitting aside having his shoulder wound bandaged.

Guo Yin felt a chill in his heart. Yes, this team of soldiers were all subordinates of Captain Zhou. If they had made arrangements in advance, then Zhao Heng and his men were clearly setting a trap for Sui Yongdao.

Poor Sui Yongdao went to so much trouble, thinking that by controlling Luozhou City he could wait for Feng Twelve to fall into his trap, but he didn't know that the real hunter had already been lying in ambush beside him.

What was even more surprising was that Feng Twelve did not give Sui Yongdao a chance to live and chopped off his head at once.

Facing such an evil star, Guo Yin did not dare to look at him any longer. He turned to look at Captain Zhou and blurted out, "Captain Zhou, General Sui treats you well, why are you..."

Captain Zhou looked at him indifferently and said, "The Beihe Army belongs to the imperial court, not Sui Yongdao. He is plotting treason and wants to drag us all to death. You are willing, but we are not."

"...How did you know General Sui's plan?" Guo Yin couldn't help asking.

Captain Zhou did not answer. He turned to Feng Twelve and said, "Your Highness, Sui Yongdao has been executed. I am willing to guarantee with my life that the soldiers of the Beihe Army have no intention of rebellion. Please report the truth to the court for the sake of my help."

After saying this, he knelt on the ground, clasped his fists solemnly, and bowed deeply.
