Chapter 161 The Famous Ploy – Part 2 (2/2)

”This wine is so strong. I think I'm already drunk!”

”Yea, it tastes like normal wine, but it's damn strong!”

”HAHA! Weakling! You can't even handle 2 jars of wine!”

”HAHAHA! I think that guy used to brag he drank 10 jars without breaking a sweat. Now look at him, he's done! HAHAHA!”

The same event happened inside the government hall. Several city officials already fell asleep while Bao Xin and his men struggled to stay awake as they were looking forward to the night entertainment.

”Sir Ju, your wine is very strong. My apologies, I think I'll have to stop toasting with you for now.”

Ju Shou was also struggling to stay awake as well. His jar was not wine but water, but the drowsiness already overwhelmed him. However, because of his anger, he stayed awake to see the death of these men.

”Please don't apologize, general. I'm also at my limit, too.”

As Ju Shou spoke, he gave Jia Xu, who disguised himself as one of the officials at the back, with an angry glare. Despite the fact that they were allies, Jia Xu put his drugs in everyone's food without an exception.

'Indeed, to fool the enemies, you have to fool your allies first. But at the very least, you should have warned me or have given me an antidote beforehand!'

'Damnit! It's fortunate that it was mild sleeping pills and I replaced my wine with water! If it's wine, we all would've died here before we kill these men!'

…

…

Tong, Jia Xu, and Zhang He sat on the back row of the banquet, observing the crowd and the effect of their drugs.

In this scheme, Jia Xu pretended that Han Fu was alive to lure the enemies inside the city. The party was nothing but a rouse and an opportunity to poison these soldiers.

Once they got inside, they drugged the soldiers with Jia Xu's personal drugs mixing with the food and drink in the banquet.

At first, Jia Xu wanted to use his numb poison to paralyze them. However, Tong gave him an idea that the combination of sleeping pills or powder mixing with alcoholic wine could also kill. Furthermore, the execution would be cleaner this way. If they were to fall asleep when they were drinking, none of them would have suspected that they were poisoned.

Jia Xu was inspired by the idea and agreed with Tong's suggestion, and put sleeping powders into all food instead of more noticeable numb poison.

The plan went well. The soldiers and Bao Xin had not suspected anything after they ate and drank a lot of food and wine.

The more they ate and drank, the more severe the drug effect. It was possible for the drugged soldiers and officials to fall asleep and stop breathing, which would result in death.

For the sake of the realistic scene, Jia Xu put the drugs into all food that had been served, but he replaced the wine of the officials with tea, so they would not die from the side effect of the sleeping pills.

The food in front of the three was also contaminated with Jia Xu's drugs, yet Tong ignored the fact and ate them with glee.

Meanwhile, Jia Xu and Zhang He did not dare to touch to food. They only drank tea and watched everyone. As soon as they saw Tong's empty plate, they glanced at him to check his condition.

Seeing the satisfied face of Tong, the two looked at him as if he was a monster.

Although Tong's poison and drug immunity did not take effect as he voluntarily ate the drugged food, he still had his regen skill as a backup lifesaving skill. With this skill, Tong chowed down his food to the point that his stomach bloated.

*Burp*

'Crap, I forgot about this.'

”My lord, all food here is not safe. Are you alright after eating all that?” Zhang He was worried.

”Meh, it's alright. It's just a little drowsiness. As long as I don't drink alcohol, I'll be fine. By the way, Wenhe, when will we start? I could have killed all of them when they first entered the hall actually. But since you insist with your plan, I left them be.”

Jia Xu raised his eyebrows and gave Tong a weird stare.

”Please don't recklessly act outside of my plans. You could have killed all of them, yes. But doing so will anger the 10,000 soldiers. If we want to get rid of them, we'll have to do it thoroughly. I don't want to see any unnecessary casualty.”

The corner of Tong's mouth twitched.

'Don't want to see any unnecessary casualty your sister! If Zhang He had hadn't open the gate in time, all my soldiers would have turned into porcupines!' Tong retorted in his mind.</your></probability></your></ding>
