Pang Yu's mind went blank. Gu Xiaowu, who should have gone to Tongcheng, appeared just when the work was about to be completed.
He murmured and asked, "Xiao Wu...why didn't you go to Tongcheng?"
"I haven't recovered yet, Alliance Leader Huang asked me to..."
Gu Xiaowu responded like a reflex. He didn't react for a moment, and turned his gaze back to Pang Yu's face blankly, "Brother Pang, what are you doing?"
Pang Yu was unprepared and had no words to say. He just wanted to stabilize Gu Xiaowu first and subconsciously took a step forward.
Gu Xiaowu's sleepy eyes were wandering around the hall where corpses were strewn all over the place. His expression suddenly changed and he took two steps back.
"Brother Yu, please don't come over here." Gu Xiaowu choked and pulled out a killing knife from his waist.
Pang Yu stopped quickly. At this time, he was almost exhausted. His hands and feet were trembling. It was not easy to cock the crossbow, and his movement speed was greatly reduced. Gu Xiaowu was a new force. Once he started to move, Pang Yu was not sure.
win.
Pang Yu's mind was racing, and he snorted, "Brother Gu, don't come over either, until I kill Wang Guohua, the traitor who betrayed his friends for glory."
Gu Xiaowu raised the knife cautiously, looking back and forth between the ground and Pang Yu, as if he was very confused about the situation in front of him.
Wang Guohua coughed a few times, struggled and twisted a few times, grabbed the waist knife on the ground in his hand, and raised it in the direction of Pang Yu, in case Pang Yu suddenly pounced on him.
"Gu Xiaowu, don't believe him. This dog servant poisoned us. Everyone in the palace was poisoned. He killed them one by one with a knife."
The Gu Xiaowu in front of him was Wang Guohua's only hope for survival. Although his tongue was a little numb, he still defended loudly.
Pang Yu laughed twice and suppressed Wang Guohua's labored voice, "At this time, we are still spitting blood. If the poison I administered killed all the brothers, then who is Qiu Ba who is kneeling here? Who is the Fang family lying over there?
How was Boss born?"
Pang Yu turned to look at Gu Xiaowu, "Xiao Wu has always heard of the relationship between Wang Guohua and the Fang family. The person lying down over there is Fang Zhongjia from the Fang family. Mr. Digang, who do you think brought it?
of."
Gu Xiaowu looked at Wang Guohua with suspicion, because the kneeling servant did have chain mail on him, and Gu Xiaowu had also heard about the relationship between Wang Guohua and the Fang family, and it was Wang Guohua who showed off in the past that Fang Xiangguan valued him.
One of the capitals.
Wang Guohua held the waist knife tightly and laughed twice, "Pang Gouyi, you can tell me, if I lured Qiu Ba, why are you standing alone now, while everyone else is dead or injured? It is clearly Qiu Ba that you lured."
"
"The fact that I can stand is just because the brothers fought hard to the death, which is beyond your expectation." Pang Yu said righteously, "Brother Zhu Zong died in a bloody battle, and you still have to make up for it with five swords. Brother Gu, go and see.
, Zhu Zong’s body was covered with cuts, and Wang Guohua’s waist knife was stained with Zhu Zong’s blood. He said that I killed these people, look at my knife.”
Gu Xiaowu looked at the short knife in Pang Yu's hand. There was indeed no trace of blood, but Wang Guohua's waist knife was stained with blood. Gu Xiaowu's cheeks twitched, and he gradually became sad and angry.
Wang Guohua retched twice more. There was no food in his belly and he only vomited out some liquid. Stimulated by gastric juice, tears streamed down his face. The hand lying on the knife fell to the ground again, looking exhausted. He couldn't say no for a moment.
Speak up.
Gu Xiaowu even thought that he had acquiesced, and roared at Wang Guohua, "We are all sworn brothers. Zhu Zong and you have known each other since we were children. Why did you do this murderous act?"
Pang Yu took the opportunity to answer, "Because he wants to use our heads to surrender to the Yamen, be recruited, redeem himself, and share the money equally with that Fang Zhongjia."
Gu Xiaowu turned to Pang Yu blankly, "Zhu Zong and the others are dead, Brother Yu, what should we do? Where will we go in the future?"
Seeing that Gu Xiaowu believed in him, Pang Yu felt relieved, but he did not relax his vigilance. He looked at Gu Xiaowu and said softly, "I don't know what to do, but it's nothing more than seeking refuge in the Yamen or fleeing to a foreign country. Look at you, Brother Gu."
How to say."
Gu Xiaowu did not come closer. He shook his head anxiously and said, "How can we go back to the Yamen? I will be the vanguard general. Everyone in Tongcheng knows that if a wealthy family has been offended many times, they will die at the hands of some gentry when they return to the Yamen..."
Seeing that Gu Xiaowu was at a loss, Pang Yu decided to give Gu Xiaowu a way out, and said, "There is no other way now, and the government is not reliable. Brother Gu can take as much as he wants. Go to a place where no one knows you, and don't go back to Tongcheng from now on."
"
"Brother Yu... I've never been to a foreign country. The farthest I've ever been is Huaining. How can I live out there?"
"You can live well wherever you have money."
Gu Xiaowu thought for a moment with tears in his eyes, and looked at Pang Yu intently, "Why did you only think about seeking refuge in the Yamen and going to a foreign country, and never thought of telling Alliance Leader Huang and asking him to take his brothers back to Yunji Temple?"
Pang Yu was shocked. His thoughts tonight were all in the hall, and because he knew that the squire had prepared a large number of raids tomorrow morning, it would be difficult for Huang Wending to escape unprepared. Pang Yu had already excluded Huang Wending from any consideration.
outside.
At that moment, he quickly made amends and said, "I feel that Huang Wending and Wang Guohua have colluded for a long time. Huang Wending deliberately took away the others and let Wang Guohua take the money. They will then divide the money after they meet in a foreign country. If we go to find Huang Wending, we are throwing ourselves into a trap."
"
Gu Xiaowu hesitated as expected. He buried his head in thought for a long time and suddenly raised his head and said, "Since Wang Guohua is unkind, it would be unjust for me to divide the money and then take his head to the Yamen to perform meritorious service. Then the gentry will not make it difficult for us."
Pang Yu almost agreed, but then she suppressed it, pretending to be shocked, and took a step back. At the same time, she carefully observed Gu Xiaowu's expression. The torch light flashed, making Gu Xiaowu's face bright and dark.
Gu Xiaowu's eyes flashed and he was also observing Pang Yu carefully.
Pang Yu didn't dare to confirm Gu Xiaowu's thoughts. If Gu Xiaowu tried to test him, Gu Xiaowu might turn against him and take action once he agreed. Pang Yu felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, the wound on his shoulder was getting more and more painful, and his head still felt dizzy.
I don't know if the rain is caused by blood loss or excessive physical exertion.
Inside the dim gate of the side hall was the 40,000 taels of silver. Gu Xiaowu standing at the gate was the last obstacle between Pang Yu and Yinzi.
Because of Gu Xiaowu's appearance, Pang Yu did not dare to send a signal to the three helpers at the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain why he arranged for someone to respond, and Gu Xiaowu might immediately launch an attack.
This man treated him well, and Pang Yu never thought of killing him.
If Gu Xiaowu leaves, there will be greater risks. Firstly, he may go looking for Huang Wending. Secondly, there will be an eyewitness to Pang Yu and others' interception of the money. Once the news leaks out, those big investors will definitely force Pang Yu to do it.
Wait until someone vomits it out. All the adventures tonight will be in vain. The third one may be contaminated with the serious crime of killing the servants of Diggang. How can Pang Yu be willing to do so.
Pang Yu looked at Gu Xiaowu in front of him. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He felt anxious in his heart. He quickly took two deep breaths and managed to suppress the anxiety.
After a moment of silence, Pang Yu stared at Gu Xiaowu and said, "Killing Wang Guohua is to avenge the brothers, but if you go to the Yamen, what will happen to us if Huang Wending captures the county?"
Gu Xiaowu said eagerly, "Without Wang Guohua, Alliance Leader Huang will be defeated in the blink of an eye."
"Then you come and kill Wang Guohua and take his head. This great achievement will be yours."
Gu Xiaowu took a step back, "I have never killed anyone, I can't do it."
Pang Yu continued to test, "I don't dare to kill, let alone stay in Tongcheng. After today, the Yamen will arrest us, the squire will take revenge, and Huang Wending may also want to kill us. At this time, I will go to another place,
You open the palace door, I'll go in, pack some money and leave."
"No, no, brother Yu, don't leave either. People who leave their hometowns are mean. Let's slowly think of a way. There must be a way."
Pang Yu squinted his eyes slightly. Until now, he still couldn't find out Gu Xiaowu's true thoughts. As time passed, he became extremely impatient with this circle of temptations. From the corner of his eye, he saw the crossbow at the base of the wall, and immediately inserted the short knife into it.
At his waist, he stretched out his hand towards Gu Xiaowu and said, "Brother Xiaowu, please wait a moment. I'm going to get an arrow to kill Wang Guohua. We brothers will discuss our options later."
After saying that, Pang Yu slowly went to the corner, raised the crossbow, and walked backwards towards the palace with a torch. There was a servant lying behind the pillars of the palace with a crossbow arrow on his body.
As he retreated, he paid attention to the corpses behind him, and at the same time, he also paid attention to Gu Xiaowu in front of him. As long as he had the crossbow arrows in hand, Pang Yu would no longer be afraid of Gu Xiaowu, so he could force Gu Xiaowu to put down his dagger first.
Gu Xiaowu was small and thin. Without weapons, Pang Yu could easily subdue the opponent even after being injured. Then he could call three helpers to go up the mountain, and everything would be under his control.
At this moment, Wang Guohua, who was on the ground, suddenly pushed himself up and said to Gu Xiaowu in a hoarse voice, "If he gets the arrow, you will be dead."
Gu Xiaowu breathed rapidly, looked at Wang Guohua in panic, and immediately turned back to Pang Yu.
Pang Yu retreated and said, "Brother Gu, don't listen to his instigation, I just want to kill him."
Wang Guohua supported his body with one hand and shouted, "Everyone in the palace was shot to death by him, so there is no blood on his sword. He wants to take the silver and will not leave you alive."
Gu Xiaowu screamed wildly, took two steps forward, raised the knife and pointed it at Pang Yu, "Stop, don't take that arrow!"
Pang Yu had arrived at the corpse and could reach the crossbow arrow with a stretch of his hand, but the crossbow arrow had not been cocked yet, and Gu Xiaowu was now far enough to kill him before he cocked it.
He stopped and stared at Gu Xiaowu, and said as calmly as possible, "I only dare to shoot people with crossbow arrows. If you don't want me to use arrows, go and kill Wang Guohua."
Gu Xiaowu cried and shook his head repeatedly, "No, I don't dare to kill anyone either..."
"Then I have to get the arrow. I can't stay here with you all night."
Gu Xiaowu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly put down the knife and said to Pang Yu, "Brother Pang, take the arrow, I can trust you."
Pang Yu put the torch on the ground, and put his right hand next to the short knife on his belt, in case Gu Xiaowu suddenly rushed up. He grabbed the arrow tail with his left hand and pulled it. It was a little blocked, but it was looser than the burned man in black. He used his hand hard,
The crossbow arrow was finally successfully taken out.
Pang Yu felt happy, as long as he cocked the crossbow, everything was under control. He felt a little anxious, but still stared at Gu Xiaowu.
Gu Xiaowu's expression was dull, as if he was half stunned.
Pang Yu felt relieved, stepped on the crossbow pedal with his right foot, grabbed the tail of the crossbow with both hands, and pulled hard.
At this moment, Gu Xiaowu suddenly raised his knife and pounced on him with a ferocious expression.
This was what Gu Xiaowu was waiting for, because Pang Yu had both hands on the crossbow and could not draw the knife.
Pang Yu spent all his strength on the bow string, and his body was almost frozen by the crossbow. He panicked when he saw this, and his feet lost strength. The force of the bow string struck back at him, and his chest felt like it was being held back, and his body couldn't help but fall forward.
.
The short sword reached his chest in an instant. Pang Yu was in a panic and didn't even adjust his center of gravity. Gu Xiaowu pounced and the two of them fell to the ground at the same time. Pang Yu fainted from the fall. He was weak at this time and had to rely on both hands to hold on.
Knife hand.
Gu Xiaowu had the upper hand, his left hand pressed on the right hand holding the knife, and he roared angrily, "Can you fool me? In the past, you didn't come to live in the temple, but today you came and something happened."
Pang Yu struggled to hold on and had no time to argue.
Wang Guohua's voice sounded, and he laughed hoarsely, "Haha, Gu Xiaowu said he didn't dare to kill anyone, Gouyi, you tell me who killed Yin Deng, it was Gu Xiaowu who killed Yin Deng more than thirty times, Pang Gouyi, you are today
I will die tragically at his hands later."
After Wang Guohua finished speaking, he struggled to get up. He could only move one hand, so he struggled to move towards Pang Yu on the ground with this hand. He also held a waist knife in his hand, which made a clanging sound when he slapped it on the ground.
Pang Yu could hear the movement, so he only had to wait for Wang Guohua to get closer and when he couldn't move, he could only let Wang Guohua chop and stab.
Then he remembered the tragic situation of Yin Deng's head. At that time, Wu Zuo said that he had been hacked dozens of times in the neck. Only tonight did he find out that it was Gu Xiaowu who killed Yin Deng. Gu Xiaowu's strength could not decapitate him with one knife, but his cruelty was
Not even Huang Wending can compare to him, and he cannot fall into the hands of this person under any circumstances.
Pang Yu shouted angrily, stood up on tiptoes, and straightened his crotch slightly, gaining room for movement. He moved his hands to the side, letting the short knife swipe across his arm. Pang Yu resisted the severe pain and twisted the other person's hand.
He turned over and pushed Gu Xiaowu down.
Gu Xiaowu was not a strong person, and he had never practiced kung fu. He was immediately suppressed by Pang Yu. He panicked and struggled wildly.
Pang Yu was also very panicked. He had practiced Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and had just successfully defeated the two opponents with crossbars and naked chokes in the dark. But that was a sneak attack when the opponent did not have a sharp weapon. It was a bare-handed fight. If it were at this time
Without that knife to kill a cow, he had many ways to subdue Gu Xiaowu, but Gu Xiaowu was holding a sharp weapon, especially the most dangerous short knife, so all those tricks were useless.
Pang Yu could only hold down Gu Xiaowu's knife-holding hand tightly. Any change in body position might result in being killed by his opponent. If at any other time, Pang Yu would have run away when he encountered an opponent holding a sharp weapon. Those so-called techniques of empty-handed sword-wielding,
In a head-to-head confrontation, you may not succeed even once in ten times.
The two of them were fighting on the ground. Pang Yu could use his weight at this time, which was much less laborious than before, but his physical strength was still consumed very quickly under the tension. He freed up his left hand to touch his waist, but his short knife disappeared during the scuffle.
The torch on the ground was pushed to the corner by the two people after a scuffle, and the hall entered darkness again.
There was another bang from behind, and Wang Guohua took another step closer. His speed seemed to be slower than at the beginning, but it still made Pang Yu anxious.
Pang Yu desperately suppressed the hand and shouted to Gu Xiaowu, "If you want to survive, put down the knife and do whatever I want. I will let you stay in Tongcheng. I will have enough money to last you a lifetime."
"When I killed Yin Deng, I didn't think about recruiting people. Pang Yu, you want to take advantage of the money... Don't even think about it. You killed so many of my brothers. If I can escape... just wait to die, and wait for Huang Wending to take your drug shop.
Burn...burn it all down."
"What did you say?" As Pang Yu spoke, he groped around with his feet and came across a heavy object. When he looked up, it was the small wooden stool where Wang Guohua sat while drinking.
Gu Xiaowu kept cursing to himself, "I will kill everyone in your family, kill your family..."
"How was the killing?" Pang Yu gasped, the small wooden stool already in his left hand.
Wang Guohua took another step behind him. There were dangers lurking in the dark hall. Pang Yu was breathing heavily. His brain seemed to have stopped thinking, but his body was still moving like a conditioned reflex.
"I'll kill all your chickens and dogs! I know where your home is, and I know your parents too..." Gu Xiaowu roared, taking advantage of Pang Yu's left hand not pressing his shoulder, he raised his upper body and bit Pang Yu in one bite.
on the arm.
Pang Yu screamed in pain, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat. The exhaustion and danger almost caused his spirit to collapse. At this time, a surge of anger rose in his chest.
Pang Yu roared angrily: "Leave no chickens or dogs behind!" and suddenly raised the wooden stool and smashed it at Gu Xiaowu's head.
The wooden stool hit Gu Xiaowu's forehead fiercely, and Gu Xiaowu's raised head hit the bluestone board hard. Gu Xiaowu's struggle suddenly relaxed.
"Kill! Kill!" Pang Yu roared, raising the wooden stool high like a madman and hitting Gu Xiaowu in the darkness again and again.
The mountain wind passed through the hall, making a whistling sound. The door leaves of the back door were driven by the wind, making a rattling sound as they shook.
In the hell-like hall, Pang Yu was breathing heavily, his hands were trembling, and there was a tight feeling in his hands, which was caused by blood solidifying on his skin.
Wang Guohua behind him stopped moving. He knew that it was useless to go at this time. He just lay on the ground and let out a strange laugh.
Pang Yu used his last strength to stand up, carried the torch to the outside of the courtyard, and waved it towards the bottom of the mountain.
