Chapter 141 Abnormality
When Situ Jing saw Fu Wen's actions, his eyes were full of admiration and he looked at Lu Qing.

Although he had never dealt directly with the Golden-faced Censor in the past, from the behavior of the two people he brought with him, it was not difficult to infer that this person should be of good character and strictly abide by the rules.

"Have you gone over there to ask about the condition of the poisoned people?" Lu Qing asked in a low voice.

Fu Wen nodded quickly and said, "I went back to ask before I came back.

Currently, all the people who were sent there are still in a coma. The genius doctor is trying every means to prepare the most reliable antidote. Although he is not completely sure whether to use it on those people, the toxicity in their bodies has been temporarily suppressed and has not continued to worsen.

The doctor said General Situ, please be patient and he will do his best.

Situ Jing's eyes turned slightly dim from anxious anticipation, and worry appeared between his brows, but he didn't say anything. He just nodded and thanked Fu Wen again.

The next day, Situ Jing secretly began to replace the badges in the camp. He would secretly replace any badges he found that were not right, wrap the replaced badges in several layers, and hide them in a wooden box in his tent.

In the next three to five days, although there were still people in the camp who were poisoned, the number was quietly decreasing. Seeing that his trick was effective, Situ Jing frowned slightly and seemed to feel much more at ease.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye. At night, Lu Qing and Zhu Yu were arranged to patrol with another personal soldier and two imperial guards.

Five people were responsible for patrolling the northeast side of the camp. Two imperial guards walked in the front, and the leader received the night patrol badge. For the sake of safety, Lu Qing walked in the middle to separate Zhu Yu and the two imperial guards. Finally, Situ Jing's personal soldier was the last one to leave.

There were no barracks in the northeast corner of the camp. It was mainly used to store food and fodder for the garrison, as well as stables and the like. It was dark and quiet at night. The leader and the rearguard of the five people each held a torch to illuminate and carefully patrolled everything around them.

All that could be heard were their footsteps and the occasional lowing of horses.

The two imperial guards walking in front said nothing and both looked a little nervous.

In recent days, people in the camp have been "possessed" one after another. There are rumors everywhere that those people became like that because they encountered evil spirits while on night patrol.

Now, whenever it’s everyone’s turn to do the night patrol, they feel very nervous.

At this moment, they didn't dare to say anything, but just stared at their surroundings nervously, as if they were afraid that some terrible monster would jump out of the darkness.

Zhu Yu was originally following behind Lu Qing, feeling a little sleepy as she walked, and secretly yawning from time to time. She didn't know how long she had been patrolling or how far she had walked, but she began to vaguely feel that something was not right.

The light from the torch behind her began to waver.

Zhu Yu continued to walk forward calmly, while lowering his eyes to look at the shadow of the fire on the ground behind him.

Suddenly, she saw the firelight flicker violently, and there seemed to be footsteps behind her, which made her feel a chill on her back. She hurriedly wanted to turn around to see what was happening behind her.

Just as she turned around, she saw a flash of cold light before her. Suddenly, Lu Qing grabbed her from behind and pulled her aside. At the same time, a sharp knife, gleaming with cold light, slashed through Zhu Yu's robes. The tip of the knife scratched the gold-threaded soft armor she wore underneath, nearly sending sparks flying.

Zhu Yu managed to steady himself and saw clearly that the person who suddenly attacked him was actually Situ Jing's personal soldier following behind him. At this time, Lu Qing had already started fighting with the other party.

The other two imperial guards seemed to be frightened by this sudden incident. They just stood there, watching Lu Qing fight with the personal soldier, with dazed faces and even a little at a loss.

Zhu Yu knew that the ones who suddenly took action were Situ Jing's personal guards. In the eyes of these imperial guards, he and Lu Qing were now also Situ Jing's men.

Although they are all soldiers under Situ Jing, the relationship between them is naturally different, as they are the imperial guards who have only been dealing with him for more than two months, and the personal soldiers who have always followed him around the country.

This situation inevitably leads to some concerns.

"What are you still standing there for?!" Zhu Yu saw this and could only remind them, "Hurry up and report to the general!"

The two imperial guards finally came to their senses and ran off to report the news to Situ Jing.

Zhu Yu knew that he had no martial arts skills, so he could not help Lu Qing at this time. If he forced himself to get close, he would cause trouble for him. So he stared at the two people not far away from him.

Unlike the last time when he helped Situ Jing subdue Captain Pang, Lu Qing had obviously learned a lesson from that experience. This time, instead of holding back, he attacked very fiercely. Even if he didn't want to kill the opponent, every move clearly showed that he had no intention of showing any mercy.

The situation of that personal soldier was somewhat similar to that of Captain Pang. Now his eyes were red and his gaze was distracted. His teeth were clenched and he swung his sword and stabbed without any reason.

Lu Qing exchanged a few moves with him, and when the time was right, he struck the soldier's elbow with a heavy punch. The soldier felt an indescribable numbness in his forearm, and his hand loosened uncontrollably, and the knife fell to the ground.

Lu Qing stepped forward and kicked the knife on the ground more than ten feet away. His attack became more and more fierce. Every move was aimed at the arms of the personal soldier. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent rushed towards him, he jumped up, flipped over the shoulder of the personal soldier, and went around behind him. With both hands, he quickly and accurately grabbed the base of the opponent's upper arm. With a pull, the personal soldier's arms were disconnected and hung uncontrollably at his sides.

The personal soldier's body lost balance and fell headfirst. Lu Qing did not give him a chance to struggle to get up. He flew over, twisted the personal soldier's hands, and pressed him face down on the ground.

The personal soldier's arms could not move, but his resistance was extremely fierce. Even though Lu Qing used all his strength, he could only barely hold him down. After a while, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Zhu Yu wanted to go over and help him hold it down, but Lu Qing just looked up at her robe that was torn by the knife, and then gestured for her to stay where she was and not move.

Soon, hurried footsteps were heard in the distance. After hearing the report from the two imperial guards, Situ Jing didn't care about anything else and immediately ran over here, followed by several personal soldiers.

"Hurry up and help!" After seeing the situation in front clearly, Situ Jing waved to the personal soldiers beside him.

Those people rushed over and helped Lu Qing hold down his companion on the ground.
