Pang Yu didn't stop, and immediately changed one bowl to another after finishing one bowl. He pretended to be heroic and missed a lot, but there were many people around watching, so he was forced to eat part of it.
After taking the last sip, Pang Yu deliberately coughed and choked the wine into his trachea. Pang Yu was leaning against the wall, hunched over and coughing violently. Zhu Zong finished the wine, saw Pang Yu's appearance, and came over to pat Pang Yu with concern.
Vest.
Pang Yu waited for a moment after his coughing subsided, then suddenly covered his mouth and waved his hands, "I'm going to vomit, I'm going to vomit!"
The thieves laughed loudly, and Pang Yu quickly grabbed a torch and ran out of the main hall through the back hall door.
After leaving the back hall door, Pang Yu turned west to the monk's dormitory and grabbed his throat at the corner. He remembered what his mother had said about the power of grasshoppers, and couldn't help but feel very anxious. However, the more anxious he became, the more things went wrong. He even retched several times.
Can't spit it out.
"Gotta find something disgusting."
Pang Yu looked around and suddenly remembered a place. He bypassed the layman's room and went straight to the large cesspool in the southwest corner. As soon as he reached the pit, he smelled a foul smell.
"Wow!"
Pang Yu squatted by the cesspit, being stimulated by the returning acid and bursting into tears. He vomited and gasped for a moment. Looking at the disgusting cesspit under the firelight, he suddenly became heartbroken and lowered his head to vomit on his clothes.
...
Pang Yu returned and slumped down beside the palace wall. All the thieves laughed together. Several people came over to make fun of Pang Yu. But when they saw the stains on Pang Yu's clothes, they immediately left in disgust and spent a while.
No one paid any attention to him anymore.
At this time, Pang Yu took the initiative, and everyone no longer paid attention to him. He only had to lie here and pretend to be drunk until they were all drunk before taking action. Pang Yu felt that this was the real win.
But he did not relax his vigilance yet, and squinted his eyes carefully to observe the group of thieves in the hall. He had to pay attention to those who did not drink or drank little. Those people would be the targets of his attack soon.
Wang Guohua was still drinking leisurely, and had not finished the second bowl of wine. This person was what Pang Yu was most worried about. Wang Guohua could be said to be the most difficult person to deal with in the gang of thieves. He was brave and organized, and had great abilities.
Strong organizational skills.
In Pang Yu's initial prediction, Wang Guohua would definitely go down the mountain with Huang Wending, and the two had always been inseparable, because Huang Wending relied heavily on Wang Guohua's organizational skills. For such a major operation as rescuing Zhang Ru, I wonder why Wang Guohua stayed in Yunji
temple.
Pang Yu immediately thought of the silver box in the side hall. Perhaps Wang Guohua was also worried that such a large amount of treasure would be guarded by others.
There was a burst of laughter from the other side, Pang Yu squinted and turned his gaze away, Zhu Zong was chatting with someone again as soon as the bowl was served. This person had a heavy drinking capacity and often caused trouble by drinking. He had restrained himself after being beaten and scolded by Huang Wending several times recently. Huang Wending is not here today.
Zhu Zong was as enthusiastic as a runaway wild horse, and he drank with almost everyone. In Pang Yu's mind, Zhu Zong's symptoms were regarded as an indicator of the onset of poisonous alcohol, because he was the one who drank the most in the entire hall.
According to Pang Ding, he couldn't say whether the poison would take effect immediately after being poisoned by Cao Wu, and he couldn't say exactly how long it would take. He had seen two people who accidentally took it take about half an hour to develop the poison.
Pang Yu calmed down and lay in the corner, silently waiting for the poisonous wine to take effect.
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was lively, and the onlookers were booing, watching Zhu Zong fight with everyone. The alcohol content of distilled wine at this time is usually more than ten degrees. If a person with strong alcoholic power can really drink a lot, Zhu Zong is probably the one.
Such.
Pang Yu didn't pay much attention to the group of people having a drinking party. His main attention was on Wang Guohua. Therefore, when Pang Yu returned, he lay down next to the wall behind Wang Guohua, so that he could easily monitor Wang Guohua.
Don't attract the other person's attention.
Pang Yu turned his gaze from Zhu Zong back to Wang Guohua, and suddenly saw Wang Guohua making a gesture under the table, and the three confidants beside him quietly got up and went to the side hall opposite.
Seeing this scene, Pang Yu suddenly felt something was wrong, and a huge sense of crisis suddenly came over him. Why Wang Guohua acted under the table showed that he had concealed his actions from everyone. Combined with his unusual calmness tonight, Pang Yu
Yu thought of a possibility, and her scalp felt numb.
During this gap, Wang Guohua kept looking around, and finally glanced at Pang Yu behind him. Pang Yu quickly closed his eyelids, opened his mouth wider, and a string of sticky saliva flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Wang Guohua did not doubt it and quickly looked away. After a while, the three people returned to the hall. After sitting down, the two took out something like a scabbard from their sleeves and put it silently under the table. The other person left the hall.
Front door.
Pang Yu only felt that his throat was dry. Judging from the behavior of Wang Guohua and others, they might be planning to attack their accomplices, and they would do so very soon. The person who went out must be going to deal with the two people standing guard at the top of the mountain road.
Then Wang Guohua made another gesture. He and three other confidants got up and went to the side hall again. Pang Yu knew that they were going to get weapons. When they came back, he would take action immediately. His palms couldn't help but sweat. If Wang Guohua wanted to rob
Silver will definitely leave no one alive.
In the blink of an eye, the situation changed from a very promising robbery to a possibility of losing one's life at any time. At this time, what needs to be considered is no longer money, but how to save one's life.
Pang Yu didn't even have time to despair, and his mind was racing about how to escape. There were seven or eight torches in the hall, which illuminated it quite brightly, but outside the hall was endless darkness. As long as he could leave the hall, he could rely on the cover of darkness to escape temporarily.
Pang Yu calmed down and silently analyzed his own advantages. First, everyone in the palace had drunk the poisonous wine, and sooner or later the poison would develop. As long as he could avoid the killing moment in the palace, time would be on his side. Second, everyone thought that he
If you are drunk, you will definitely not attack yourself in the corner first. Taking advantage of the chaos of the killing, you may be able to escape from the palace, and then you will have the initiative.
Wang Guohua's two men were sitting close to the main entrance. Pang Yu could only choose to escape from the back door and enter the inner courtyard. However, the inner courtyard of Yunji Temple was not big. If he did not break away from the courtyard wall, he would eventually be found by Wang Guohua. Pang Yu
I kept recalling the situation of the courtyard wall in my mind, and whether there was a suitable location for digging out.
The thieves in the main hall did not know that their misfortune was coming, and they were still shouting and pouring wine on each other. Pang Yu opened his eyes a little and observed the movement of the front and back doors. Before he could finish thinking, Wang Guohua had already appeared at the door of the side hall, on the left side of his belt.
There was a waist knife stuck in it, an arrow pot hanging on the right side, and a powerful crossbow in his hand.
Pang Yu felt as if he had been showered by a basin of ice water. He never expected that Wang Guohua would have weapons for long-range attacks. What governments in the past dynasties prohibited civilians from possessing were not weapons such as swords and guns, but armors and crossbows.
Among them, the most strictly controlled is the crossbow, because bows and arrows require long-term training, and few people can use them skillfully. Even among the archers in the army, not many can shoot accurately and thoroughly.
The crossbow is different. The strong crossbow is easy to use and more powerful than the bow and arrow. Even an untrained ordinary person can easily kill an elite soldier with the strong crossbow.
A strong crossbow eliminates the difference in force between common people and soldiers, so the court often strictly controls the craftsmanship and craftsmanship of the strong crossbow, and at the same time cracks down on the holders. These measures can effectively reduce the purchase demand in peacetime. In the long run, there is a lack of economic motivation.
The civilian crossbow-making industry gradually disappeared. Therefore, the only way to buy powerful crossbows is from the military, and the price is much higher than that of bows and arrows.
Although Pang Yu didn't know exactly how terrifying the crossbow was, he also knew that this kind of weapon was extremely powerful. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he was unlucky. Since the plan started to be implemented, almost none of the steps had been executed smoothly as he expected.
However, no matter how afraid he was, he couldn't care anymore. Pang Yu slowly pulled out the short knife from his sleeve, making his movements as light as possible. Pang Yu still appeared to be sleeping, but he was highly focused. He could even feel the blade of the knife gently rubbing against the wood.
scabbard.
The thieves in the palace were still shouting and drinking, and they did not realize that Wang Guohua and his group had arrived behind them. The two people who were sitting at the beginning also grabbed the blade of the knife under the table.
Wang Guohua was inside the door of the side hall, and Pang Yu's angle was just right to see his movements. Wang Guohua placed the crossbow against the wall, and then with a gesture, several of his accomplices slowly revealed their weapons from their sleeves.
, Pang Yu was lying at an angle where he could see several sharp blades reflecting the light of the torch. The two people who were sitting before pulled out the knives under the table, and their sitting posture changed to a half-crouched state.
Everything was silent. The group of thieves were half drunk and half awake. They were toasting collectively under the leadership of Zhu Zong. They had no idea that the danger was approaching. The light of the torch was swaying, and everything was dim and psychedelic.
Pang Yu suddenly relaxed and no longer regretted the decision to take grain from the fire, but focused on the predicament in front of him. It was not that he had no chance to escape, especially Wang Guohua only used the crossbow as a backup, which probably wouldn't be necessary to deal with these green skins.
Advanced weapons.
Pang Yu concentrated on observing Wang Guohua's movements, paying attention to the situation of the front and rear doors from the corner of his eyes. Pang Yu completely pulled out the dagger from its sheath, put his body weight on his left hand, and stood up as fast as he could.
Wang Guohua took a step forward and walked out of the side hall door, and came to the back of the group of thieves in the hall. Zhu Zong had just finished drinking a large bowl of wine, and the group of thieves were looking back to drink. It was the best moment to take action.
Wang Guohua raised his shoulders slightly, Pang Yu's whole body tensed up, and his left hand compressed slightly, waiting for them to take action before jumping up immediately.
In Pang Yu's eyes, the hall was filled with suffocating air. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and even the flames on the torches stopped beating.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" sound.
The front door of the hall suddenly opened wide, and several black figures rushed in with swords in their hands. At the same time, several more people rushed in from the back door.
Everyone in the hall, including Wang Guohua and others, figured out what happened. First, a man in black had rushed into the arms of the mob in front of him with a knife, and the other men in black couldn't help but slash with their knives.
The thieves were unprepared, and when they were too drunk and slow to react, they were almost allowed to be slaughtered. In the hall, swords flashed in the sky, and blood mist sprayed. In the blink of an eye, three or four people were chopped to the ground, including one under the table.
The rioters who were hiding knives didn't even have time to resist.
The sudden change made even Wang Guohua at a loss. He took a few steps back until he leaned against the palace wall.
"Ah!" The rioter in the lead hissed loudly.
Wang Guohua finally reacted at this time and shouted, "Kill them all!"
Several people from his group started fighting with the man in black. The man in black seemed not to have expected to encounter a counterattack so quickly, and the offensive was halted.
The drunkenness of the rioters was so frightened that they woke up. There was a chaos in the palace. The unprepared Qingpi Lahuang was frightened and ran around like headless flies. Seven or eight men in black attacked from front to back and chopped down anyone they saw. Wang Guohua
A group of people originally planned to kill the rioters, but when they were attacked, they panicked and started killing the rioters indiscriminately. Most of the more than 20 rioters suffered casualties. There were screams in the hall and blood flowed all over the ground.
Pang Yu breathed rapidly. Wang Guohua and his gang encountered the same situation as him. In the blink of an eye, they went from being robbed of wealth to losing their lives.
At this time, the fighting was fierce at the front and rear doors of the main hall, and Pang Yu could not pass through. The side hall on the opposite side was an escape route, but it had to go through the center of the main hall, which was not a suitable choice.
It is not possible to stop here. Although it is safe for the time being, once the fight is over, the winning side will definitely kill everyone, making it even more difficult to escape.
His eyes were filled with flying blood mist, and his ears were filled with shrill screams. There was no condition for Pang Yu to think calmly.
When he was at a loss, a rioter staggered to Pang Yu's position. Pang Yu stared at him blankly. The rioter's neck had been cut in half, and it was no longer possible to support the weight of his head. His head kept moving back and forth.
It swings and may break at any time.
When he walked in front of Pang Yu, he could no longer hold on. His legs were weak and he knelt down. His head suddenly tilted back, revealing a huge wound on his neck. The esophageal blood vessels in the first half of his neck were cut off. As his heart beat,
, a stream of blood spurted out rhythmically from the wound.
He mustered up his remaining strength, and with trembling hands, he straightened his head and covered the wound on his neck, but blood still poured out from the wound, staining the entire front of his clothes red.
He was facing Pang Yu, his face full of fear, he kept spitting out blood from his mouth, and stretched out his hands towards Pang Yu, as if he wanted Pang Yu to rescue him. Under the light of the flashing torch in the palace, he looked like a bloodthirsty ghost.
Pang Yu was already half-squatting, but now his legs gave way and he fell to the ground, his mind going blank.
