On the second day, Wang Zhi sent people to guard the pass. When Guan Yu came to the pass, Wang Zhi led people out of the pass to greet him with a smile.

Guan Yu prepared to complain about finding his brother.

Wang Zhi heard this:

"The general and the two ladies rest assured, the prime minister has told me to let the general and the two wives pass the customs. Come to think of it, the general has a tiring journey, and first enters the city to rest in the pavilion for a while, and it is not too late to arrive tomorrow. ”

Guan Yu listened to what Wang Zhi said, and his heart was much more stable. But he has been plotted against repeatedly, but now he has an extra heart. Seeing this Wang Zhi's scholarly face, he secretly probed his cultivation at the moment, and saw that he was far below him, so he put his mind at ease and invited the two sisters-in-law to enter the city to rest.

As soon as he settled down, Wang Zhi came to invite a banquet, Guan Yu didn't want to go, but since he was in the gate, he couldn't refute this face, so he had to go to the banquet.

On the banquet, Wang Zhi's generals all came to salute Guan Yu with a glass of wine, Guan Yu was injured, and he couldn't explain it to everyone, let alone thin everyone's face, so he had to suffer by himself, and everyone who came did not refuse.

Fortunately, Guan Yu's drinking power is quite good, and he drank dozens of bottles with the generals, but Guan Yu has not changed, thinking that Guan Yu is a red-faced man, and it is okay to drink a few more glasses, but if he drinks too much, he will be sleepy, but he will not get drunk, Guan Yu is already a little overwhelmed at this time. Raising his glass, he said:

"Thank you for your hospitality, Guan Mou's journey is hard, and he is really tired. After this cup, I will take my leave, and you will continue. ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, this is the third time Guan Yu is leaving. This time Guan Yu insisted on leaving, Wang Zhi couldn't persuade him, so he made a look, and the generals no longer stayed.

After Guan Yu invited the two sisters-in-law to finish dinner, he arranged for the two sisters-in-law to rest in the main room, and ordered the servants to feed the horses and rest in peace. Guan Yu was strong at this time, and he also relieved his armor to rest.

Wang Zhi was outside the pavilion at this time, and saw that the lights in Guan Yu's room were extinguished, and he secretly called Hu Bandao:

"Guan Yu fled behind the prime minister's back, and killed Taishou and guarded the general on the road, which is a great sin! But this man is invincible and invincible. Today, Guan Yu drank a lot of wine, and he was already drunk when he thought about it, so Rao should not be underestimated. Tonight, you order a thousand sergeants to surround the pavilion, one torch per person. At the time of the third watch, set fire together; No matter who it is, they will all be burned to death! I will personally lead the army to meet me when the time comes. ”

Hu Ban took the order and left, ordered a thousand sergeants, and secretly moved the dry firewood to the fire, and moved it outside the door of the pavilion, ready to move.

However, it was said that Hu Ban led people to ambush outside the pavilion, and only waited for the third watch to catch fire together. Hu Ban thought darkly, Guan Yu was very brave, and he slashed Huaxiong with warm wine in front of the Tiger Prison, and became famous in a battle. Later, he punished Yan Liang, killed Wen Ugly, became famous all over the world, and was a world-famous hero. wanted to see the heroic posture, Hu Ban secretly thought:

"I've heard Guan Yunchang's reputation for a long time, and I don't know what this guy looks like. If you start a revolution later, don't mistake it again? ”

Hu Ban thought of this, ordered his subordinates to prepare, sneaked to the pavilion by himself, and came to Guan Yu's room lightly. At this time, Guan Yu was sleeping on the desk with his hands on the desk, with a long beard hanging down his chest, red eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and he was very heroic.

When Hu Ban saw it, he felt that this person looked like a hero, and he couldn't help but look at it twice. is even more amazed, and lost his voice:

"What a god!"

Guan Yu was drunk, and the dream between the fugue and the void was on the front edge. Suddenly disturbed by the sound of the outside world, his previous dream was shattered, his eyes suddenly opened, and he saw Hu Ban standing in front of him, and asked:

"Who are you? Why are you here late at night? Do you have to be evil? ”

Hu Ban heard the words and worshipped:

"Engaged in Hu Ban under the Taishou subordinates of Xingyang."

Guan Yu only felt that the name was a little familiar, and after thinking for a long time, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Guan Yu suddenly remembered Hu Yuanwai outside the city of Xudu, so he asked tentatively:

"Aren't you the son of Hu Hua outside the city of Xudu?"

Hu Ban was shocked when he heard this:

"General Guan actually knows his father?"

Guan Yu smiled indifferently and said:

"We met on the way, and by the way, your father entrusted me with a letter."

So he got up and went to get the letter, but just after the strength of the wine had passed, his feet were a little unstable, and he almost fell to the ground. Hu Ban sighed in his heart when he saw it, but saw Guan Yu take out a letter from his luggage and hand it to Hu Ban.

After reading it, Hu Banzhan sighed:

"Almost killed Zhongliang by mistake! The general is angry! ”

After saying that, kneeling on the ground, Guan Yu knew that there was something inside, and he stroked Hu Bandao with both hands:

"Strong man, please get up."

Hu Ban secretly said:

"General, that Wang Zhi has an unkind heart and wants to harm the general. Tonight, he secretly ordered the sergeants to surround the pavilion on all sides, and agreed to set fire to the pavilion on the third watch. The general will go quickly, and he will go to open the city gate first, and the general will quickly take the two ladies out of the city. ”

Guan Yu was shocked when he heard this, hurriedly put on a knife and ran out of the door, called open the door of the two sisters-in-law, asked the second lady to get in the car, and hurriedly escaped from the pavilion. Fang Xing went to the outside of the pavilion, and saw that the sergeants were hiding outside the pavilion with torches. Knowing that what Hu Ban said was true, he hurriedly led the two people to the city gate, only to see that the city gate was already wide open. Guan Yu urged the car to hurry out of the city.

Hu Ban still went back to set fires, and he had already covered people's eyes, but such a group of people went out of the city, how could Wang Zhi not know? Guan Yu didn't travel more than a few miles, the torches behind him were bright, and it was as bright as day, it was Wang Zhi who led the troops to come.

Wang Zhi raised his gun and shouted:

"The thief is gone!"

Guan Yu turned around and scolded:

"Piff! I have no grudge against you, and you dare to plot against me. ”

Wang Zhi said angrily when he heard this:

"If you pass the test and kill the generals, you will openly commit treason to the enemy, and everyone will be punished. How can I keep you if I am loyal and good? ”

Guan Yu took the knife to kill Wang Zhi, but he only felt that his left arm was in great pain, and his hands were a little weak, so he couldn't swing the knife. Wang Zhi didn't know how Guan Yu was in this state and said with a smile:

"Traitor, not yet dead?"

It turned out that when he was drinking the banquet, Guan Yu's wine was softened by Wang Zhi. But Guan Yu didn't find out that the amount of medicine was not much, and this dose was just colorless and tasteless, if it was more than half a minute, it might be discovered.

Wang Zhi obviously knew about this poison, but the dose was not much, the effect of the drug was naturally not large, and the reaction was slow. Wang Zhi made people start at the third watch, when the medicine was the most effective, even if he couldn't burn Guan Yu, he could kill him.

At this time, it was obviously a little early, but the effect of the medicine also played a little, and Guan Yu's left arm was injured and he couldn't lift the knife, so Wang Zhi was overjoyed and stabbed with a gun.

Guan Yu couldn't lift the Qinglong knife at this time, only to see that the spear had already stabbed, and a hint of light blue light flashed at the tip of the spear. He wanted to dodge, but he couldn't use any strength, and he was about to meet the tip of the gun and die on the spot.

Suddenly, a big black iron rod flashed out from behind Wang Zhi and hit Wang Zhi directly on the head, Wang Zhi's brain burst into pieces, and he screamed miserably, fell down the horse, and in the blink of an eye, he was not even angry at all.

Guan Yu exhaled and secretly exclaimed, and only after looking at it did he see it clearly. It turned out that Hu Ban took an iron rod and killed Wang Zhi with a stick, and sighed secretly in his heart, such a strong force, such a thick iron rod, looking at it, he knew that the weight was no less than the Qinglong knife in his hand, and secretly sighed that fortunately, Hu Ban was a friend and not an enemy.

But it was said that Hu Ban beat Wang Zhi to death, picked up the iron rod and shouted:

"Wang Zhi framed Zhongliang and has now been killed by me. If you want to live, run for your life. ”

When the soldiers saw that they had lost their main general, and that Hu Ban had defected to the enemy, they had no fighting spirit and fled to the city one after another. Seeing that the soldiers dispersed, Guan Yu said:

"Thank you for your help."

Hu Banhaha smiled and said:

"It's a lot of effort, why worry about it, General Guan seems to be injured a lot."

Guan Yu smiled bitterly:

"I just hate that I shouldn't have drunk so much wine, but I have some strength."

Hu Ban knew that Guan Yu had been poisoned, and it was already the end of the crossbow at this time, so he reached into his arms and said:

"I have a pill here, but it is the only medicine in my own family, which can relieve knife wounds."

After that, he took out a pill and handed it to Guan Yu, Guan Yu saw that it was a yellow pill, so he didn't hesitate at the moment, and swallowed it directly into his stomach.

But when the pill enters the abdomen, there is a trace of coolness into the body. Dengshi's body was light and refreshed, and the wounds on his body were slowly healing, and he couldn't help but exclaim:

"True elixir too."

Seeing that Guan Yu's injuries were healed, Hu Ban couldn't help but laugh and said:

"The general has an overreputation, and out of this place is the boundary of Huazhou, and I don't think anyone will intercept the general anymore."

After that, Hu Ban clasped his fists with both hands and said:

"The general is careful all the way."

Guan Yu thanked Hu Ban again, Hu Ban turned around and said goodbye to Guan Yu, and disappeared into the vast night in the blink of an eye.
