The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Reporting to Master, according to the information, Chu Xiu has quietly infiltrated the city of Yuejun County and killed Murong Zhi in the prefectural governor's mansion, which is full of experts."

"Then, Chu Xiu secretly infiltrated the demon army camp and killed Jiang Tiansheng, the patriarch of the Jiang family, and Jiang Yue, the head of the Jiang family!"

"What's even more terrifying is that after killing Jiang Tiansheng and the other man, this man, with only his sword, actually cut through the entire demon army."

"One person wiped out an army of ten thousand demons!"

A hint of apprehension flashed in Zheng Lin's eyes as he spoke with utmost seriousness.

"The prefect killed Murong Zhi amidst a sea of ​​experts, and then stealthily infiltrated the demon army camp, killing Jiang Tiansheng and another man."

"And in the end, he single-handedly slaughtered the entire demon army with his sword?"

Zheng Min said with a look of surprise on his face.

Even he, the governor of Yizhou, couldn't believe it was real at that moment.

Perhaps, with his strength, even if Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Yue were dead, he could still annihilate the leaderless demon army!

but!

Even for him, sneaking into the demon army's camp undetected would not be an easy task.

How exactly did Chu Xiu manage to do that?

Moreover, Chu Xiu was able to do that.

Does this mean that Chu Xiu wants to kill him, or that he can infiltrate his governor's mansion to assassinate him?

"Reporting to my lord, it is absolutely true, this old servant has confirmed it!"

Zheng Lin spoke respectfully and solemnly.

"Isn't this boy skilled in swordsmanship?"

"When did his swordsmanship reach such a terrifying level?"

"And how exactly did this person manage to infiltrate the prefect's residence to assassinate Murong Zhi without being discovered?"

"And how did they manage to infiltrate the demon army's camp and attack Jiang Tiansheng and his companion?"

Zheng Min frowned, but he wasn't worried about Chu Xiu assassinating him.

Even if Chu Xiu managed to sneak up to him without being discovered by the experts in the governor's mansion.

As long as Chu Xiu makes a move, he will definitely be discovered.

His strength is simply incomparable to that of the likes of Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng.

But Chu Xiu may not have that kind of strength now, so what about in the future?

If Chu Xiu's cultivation level is raised to the Human Immortal realm in the future, then is there a possibility of assassinating him?

"Your Excellency, this old servant is not entirely sure either."

"However, this old servant has already arranged for people to conduct an investigation."

"However, this old servant suspects that even if we wanted to investigate, it would be very difficult to find out."

"It is said that Chu Xiu was the one who did all of this from beginning to end."

"How he did it is probably only known to him."

Zheng Lin considered for a moment and then spoke to Zheng Min.

"check!"

"This matter must be thoroughly investigated!"

"No matter what, we must uncover this secret!"

A glint of light flashed in Zheng Min's eyes, and he spoke in a deep and powerful voice.

"Yes, this old servant obeys!"

Zheng Lin said with a solemn expression.

"No one knows about the agreement I reached with Murong Zhi, right?"

Zheng Min glanced at Zheng Lin and said.

"Please rest assured, sir, no one will know about this."

"Murong Zhi and Jiang Tiansheng, who both knew about this, have already died under Chu Xiu's sword."

"No one else will know."

"This old servant has never used letters or anything like that, so there are no future problems."

Zheng Lin said with a respectful expression.

"That's good."

Zheng Min nodded slightly, looking towards the direction of Yuejun County City, but his brows were still furrowed, filled with regret.

He could never figure out how Chu Xiu had done it.

This time, Murong Zhi was not defeated by Xie Xuan, the Gun Immortal, but by Chu Xiu.

Without this son, even the legendary gunsmith Xie Xuan might have died at the hands of Jiang Tiansheng.

Even if Xie Xuan hadn't died, the Beijing garrison would have inevitably been defeated.

At that time, the world will be a completely different place!

Pity!

Yuejun County is located outside the county seat.

"My lord, shall we return to the capital now?"

Li Jingtian looked at Chu Xiu and asked.

"Lin Huaiyu, is everything arranged?"

Chu Xiu glanced at Lin Huaiyu and said calmly.

"Reporting to Your Excellency, everything has been arranged."

"Next, our Jinyiwei spies will be infiltrated throughout Yizhou."

"Especially the prefecture where Shu Commandery is located and Hanzhong Commandery are of paramount importance!"

"Moreover, our Embroidered Uniform Guard spies will try every means to infiltrate important places such as the governor's mansion."

Upon hearing this, Lin Huaiyu spoke with utmost respect.

"Now that everything is arranged, let's head back to Beijing."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, a satisfied look on his face, and said.

He always felt that the defeat of the 100,000-strong Yizhou army was too suspicious.

How did Murong Zhi predict in advance when Cao Rong's 100,000-strong Yizhou army would arrive, allowing them to successfully ambush and catch Cao Rong off guard?

He suspected that Zheng Min, the governor of Yizhou, might have reached an agreement with Murong Zhi.

These 100,000 Yizhou troops were given to Murong Zhi by Zheng Min from the beginning to strengthen Murong Zhi's power.

Cao Rong was clearly sold out by Zheng Min.

of course.

This was just Chu Xiu's guess.

There is no evidence whatsoever.

After all, from any perspective, Zheng Min had no reason to do such a thing.

This Yizhou is his territory.

However, Chu Xiu still left a large number of Jinyiwei spies in Yizhou to see if they could find any clues.

Even if no clues are found, Zheng Min can still be monitored.

At dawn, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

"Report..."

"Commander Chu Xiu of the Embroidered Uniform Guard has executed Murong Zhi, and General Xie Xuan has decisively defeated the rebel army and captured Yuejun County..."

A loud, energetic shout rang out from outside the city gates of the capital.

Upon hearing this voice, the captain of the city guard responsible for guarding the city gates of the capital showed a look of surprise and shouted loudly, "Quickly, open the city gates!"

The city guards, who had been drowsy, instantly became alert and excited, and quickly opened the city gates.

A dragon-blooded horse swiftly passed through the city gates and entered the capital.

"The rebellion has been quelled! That's wonderful, truly wonderful..."

The captain of the Beijing garrison stared at the vanished Dragonblood Horse, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with tears, and he murmured to himself.

"General, has Murong Zhi's rebellion truly been quelled?"

"Last night, news came that Jiang Tiansheng, the patriarch of the Jiang family, led a demon army to attack Cao Rong, the undefeated general of the Yizhou army, and killed him!"

They command an army of demons!

"The demon army is nothing, and our city guards are not afraid of demons either, but Jiang Tiansheng has trained the demon army into battle formations."

Is it really that easy to quell a rebellion?

"Yes, General, do you think we might have misheard?"

"..."

The city guards hesitated for a moment before questioning the captain of the Beijing garrison.
