Chapter 121: Hu Weiyong Rebels 1

This ambush attack is very likely a conspiracy by Hu Weiyong.

But Zhu Gaoxu believes that given Hu Weiyong's methods, if he has endured for so long, he certainly would not stop here if he were to make a move.

Hu Weiyong's retaliation must be a chain reaction; he would not act unless he intended to, but once he does, he intends to put Zhu Gaoxu to death.

With the situation arising so suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu has no good plan in mind and can only react as events unfold.

But above all else, he must first have strength in his own hands.

Right now, these soldiers outside the city are the top priority.

Zhu Gaoxu understands this principle, and Hu Weiyong surely would have thought of it too.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu can only hope Hu Weiyong has not yet had time to strike.

Along the way, Zhu Gaoxu galloped toward the Military Camp.

When he arrived at the Military Camp, the sky was already somewhat dim, and a group of soldiers had just finished their training for the day and were preparing to eat according to their squads and platoons.

Seeing the soldiers still full of vigor, Zhu Gaoxu breathed a sigh of relief.

Having someone call Mao Xiang to his side, Zhu Gaoxu told him to find a few soldiers to go and meet Ada and the others.

Ada and the others were injured and had difficulty moving, so in order to return quickly, he had let them walk slowly.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do for the moment, Zhu Gaoxu intended to eat a meal with the soldiers first.

As the head of the Military Camp, Zhu Gaoxu naturally did not need to wait in line; walking into the mess hall, he smelled the fragrance of food.

"What good food is being made today?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, today it is stewed meat and mixed vegetables."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, and his stomach could not help but growl.

Upon hearing this, the cook immediately ladled a large bowl of meat from the pot for Zhu Gaoxu.

Zhu Gaoxu took the bowl and chopsticks and was just about to take a bite when he suddenly thought of something; he immediately threw the bowl down, and the meat mixed with broth fell directly onto the ground.

The crowd clearly did not expect Zhu Gaoxu to suddenly throw the bowl and were too scared to speak; the cook from just before even thought he had done something wrong and was so frightened he knelt directly on the ground.

"This lowly one deserves to die, this lowly one deserves to die, Your Highness, please calm your anger."

Zhu Gaoxu had no time to explain further; he pulled up the kneeling cook and asked: "Is the meat in the Military Camp sent by Hu Weiyong?"

The cook was stunned by Zhu Gaoxu's question, then replied: "It has always been this way; the meat in the army is all sent by people dispatched by Prime Minister Hu."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu immediately ordered: "Have everyone stop, and remove everything sent by Hu Weiyong!"

"Tell the brothers outside that tonight's dinner will be simple!"

The cook was confused upon hearing this, but he still nodded and went out to carry out Zhu Gaoxu's orders.

Zhu Gaoxu did not know if there was a problem with the meat, but he had to be on guard.

Waving his hand, Zhu Gaoxu had someone bring over a dog.

Zhu Gaoxu had previously instructed Mao Xiang to bring some wolfhounds from the North.

Mao Xiang was very efficient; these wolfhounds had already been brought back for about a week, totaling around one hundred.

Before long, a Brocade Guard came over leading a wolfhound.

And at this time, Mao Xiang also rushed over.

He had just gone to instruct people to find Ada, not expecting that in such a short time, such a big incident would occur in the mess hall.

Seeing Mao Xiang arrive, Zhu Gaoxu felt a bit more confident; he waved his hand, letting the wolfhound eat the meat that had just been spilled on the ground.

In this day and age, a dog getting a bone to eat is considered a feast, so seeing meat to eat, it could not hold back.

Once the Brocade Guard released the rope in his hand, the wolfhound immediately ran forward and began to eat.

Seeing this scene, everyone understood that there might be a problem with the meat.

Among them, one cook saw this scene and his expression changed immediately, cold sweat constantly breaking out on his forehead.

Zhu Gaoxu clearly saw the other person's strange expression and immediately asked: "What is wrong with you?"

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu speak to him, the cook was startled and then ran to Zhu Gaoxu, knelt down, and said: "Your Highness, save me, I stole and ate quite a bit of the meat."

While speaking, he kept slapping his own face.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu frowned and was just about to speak when the cook suddenly froze, then collapsed to the ground and began to convulse.

White foam was constantly coming out of his mouth.

Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked, and not long after, two more cooks fell to the ground and began to convulse.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu did not panic; the old saying was indeed correct.

There is no cook who does not steal food.

Zhu Gaoxu originally could not be bothered to care about such things, but he did not expect that one day someone would lose their life because of stealing food.

I am afraid these people did not expect it either.

Mao Xiang, who was by his side, stepped forward to check, but soon he shook his head at Zhu Gaoxu.

Clearly, these people were beyond saving.

As if to prove what Mao Xiang said, the few people soon stopped moving.

And at this time, the wolfhound also fell to the ground, and before long, it also stopped moving.

Perhaps the constitutions of humans and dogs are different; the onset time for the few cooks was clearly very long, while the dog's onset time was only a short while.

After a moment of thought, Zhu Gaoxu understood Hu Weiyong's intention.

This was to poison all the soldiers to death!

How ruthless!

It is obvious that Hu Weiyong used a slow-acting poison, so that the first batch of people who consumed the poison would not notice, and only after the second batch finished eating would the first batch show symptoms.

If it were not for Zhu Gaoxu discovering it in advance, I am afraid there would not be many survivors left in the entire Military Camp by now!
