Chapter 1222 Evidence

Upon hearing this statement, the soldiers looked at each other in dismay, not expecting that the sickness was a sham and that there was a spy poisoning them from within.

"Three..." Chu Heng's gaze slid across each person's face, "two..."

His hand had already reached for the long sword by his side, his dark eyes betraying no emotion, suggesting he was certain of something.

"One..."

His final word fell.

A Soldier suddenly knelt down with a thud, "Lord Chu, spare our lives, how could we ever poison anyone?"

"You cannot harm the innocent. This vicious disease was caused by unclean drinking water, not poison that could create the same symptoms."

Other soldiers also knelt down, begging for mercy.

With consecutive thudding sounds, in less than half an incense stick of time, nearly half of the soldiers had knelt.

Those still standing looked around in confusion and desperation, completely oblivious to what was happening.
