The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 385 Capture 1
On the long street, Wang Baokun led a brigade of soldiers, escorting more than 100 shi of grain, and was slowly rushing to the east gate.

A total of ten carts were lined up on the long street, with Wang Baokun walking in the front.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him, which made Wang Baokun nervous for a while, fearing that the palace sent someone to arrest him.

The sound of horseshoes gradually approached and finally stopped behind him, which made Wang Baokun even more suspicious.

Is it really here to catch yourself?Wang Baokun's hand was already on the handle of the knife.

At this time, Wang Baokun heard someone behind him say: "Hehe, old Wang... why should you escort the food again, shouldn't you take a few days off?"

"Could it be that you are uncomfortable at home and want to go out of the city to have fun?"

Wang Baokun stopped, turned around and said, "Old Zhang, do you think I rest differently? Old Zheng has something to do at home, let me help him with an errand. If you are free... why don't you go for him?"

Hearing this, Qi Maer waited for "Old Zhang" to laugh twice, then waved his whip and walked away.

"I still have an errand to patrol the city, I can't help with this job!"

Seeing Zhang leaving, Wang Baokun heaved a sigh of relief and quickened his pace to catch up with the team.

They escorted the food and grass and moved forward, hoping for more points with every step forward, until they turned a corner and saw the city gate ahead.

Now the new system in Yuanyang City, the east gate is allowed to go out but not to enter, the west gate is allowed to enter but not to go out, and the north and south gates are basically closed.

So if they want to leave the city, they can only leave through the east gate.

At the east gate at this moment, except for the soldiers guarding here, basically no one else left the city.

But even if the military rations are escorted out of the city, inspections are still required, and only those who have passed this hurdle can leave the city.

There are currently two hundred households in Yuanyang City responsible for guarding the city gates, and each hundred households is responsible for guarding two city gates.

For example, the east gate and the north gate are guarded by hundreds of households who are on duty today.

The north gate is guarded by only one general banner, while the east gate is guarded by two general banners in rotation, and hundreds of households personally sit on the tower.

Wang Baokun looked forward carefully, he was looking at who the general banner on duty at the city gate was today, preferably someone he knew well.

But when he saw the face leading the team flag, he was immediately disappointed.

He does know this person, but unfortunately the two are not familiar with each other, only people say that this person is a bandit.

Grain transport trucks arrived at the city gate one after another, and then entered the urn smoothly. Wang Baokun handed in the proof of grain transport.

Huang Tianyan took the certificate, and then looked at it carefully.

Recently, the palace is investigating the case of food shortage, and the hundreds of households above have issued strict orders, and any food transportation team leaving the city must carefully check it.

Without Huang Tianyan's additional instructions, his soldiers began to check, and they worked extremely seriously. They have always come here in this way for the past few days.

"Huang Zongqi, why are you being so cautious?" Wang Baokun said with a smile.

The same as the general banner, even if they have no friendship with each other, it is no problem to know each other's name.

"Wang Zongqi, the adults above have strictly ordered you, it's not that I want to make things difficult for you!" Huang Tianyan acted like he was doing business.

Wang Baokun didn't say any more, just kept holding the handle of the knife in his hand, and he was ready to break through.

After about five or six minutes, all the checks were finally completed, and the grain was basically verified to be correct.

"Open the door..."

Following Huang Tianyan's order, the gate of the outer city gate slowly opened, and Wang Baokun had already seen the scene outside.

The hope of freedom and survival lies ahead, but at this time Wang Baokun must be steady, and he must not behave in the slightest.

"Let's go!" Wang Baokun said solemnly.

Behind them, Huang Tianyan led his soldiers and watched Wang Baokun and his party gradually walk out.

This is the first batch of grain to go out of the city today, but I don't know how much grain will go out of the city today.

In a dozen or 20 days, the busy spring plowing will be over, and then he won't have to work so hard.

At this moment, a small flag officer beside Huang Tianyan murmured, "It's strange... how could they be number 40 or more!"

"What do you mean?"

"My lord, this Wang Zongqi should take 33 of his subordinates out of the city, why are there more than ten people!"

Huang Tianyan also felt a little strange, so he said to his opponent, "Go over and ask!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the little flag officer caught up with Wang Baokun and asked, "Wang Zongqi, our Huang Zongqi said, why do you want to take more than a dozen people out of the city?"

Why take more?Because Wang Baokun has no way to reduce the original dispatched troops, and to do so needs to be reported to hundreds of households with legitimate reasons.

Wang Baokun had no legitimate reason, so he could only temporarily increase it.

"For the safety of transporting food, we brought in more people. After all, it's not peaceful now!" Wang Baokun said with a smile.

This is a relatively reasonable explanation, and now Wang Baokun only hopes that the Xiaoqi in front of him will get out of here quickly.

Fortunately, everything went as he expected, the little flag officer returned after getting the answer, and Wang Baokun was able to continue to leave the city.

Soon, their team walked out of the outer city gate, and they only needed to walk more than 20 feet to pass the moat by the suspension bridge.

Li Lin quickened his pace, and then was pulled by Wang Baokun, the more he had to hold his breath at this time.

"The surname Huang turned around and walked back, why are you in a hurry?" Wang Baokun scolded in a low voice.

Only then did Li Lin slow down. At this moment, he already admired his boss.

At this time, the harsh sound of horseshoes sounded again on the long street inside the east gate.

Huang Tianyan walked into the inner city gate, and heard the knight on horseback ask loudly: "Did someone leave the city gate just now?"

Seeing that this person is the eunuch of the royal residence, Huang Tianyan immediately replied: "There is a team of food transporters leaving the city!"

"Who leads the team?"

"General Banner Wang Baokun!"

"Okay, this guy is slippery enough to escape from the city!" Qian Zhong said viciously.

I only heard him continue to say: "Wang Baokun fled in fear of crime, you lead someone to take him down immediately!"

"This……"

Qian Zhong said sharply: "If you don't go and let Wang Baokun go, you are guilty too!"

This dead eunuch can't afford to offend himself, so first follow his words and stop Wang Baokun first.

"Did you hear that, go and tell that Wang Zongqi to stop, the father-in-law has something to ask him!"

Huang Tianyan didn't order to arrest Wang Baokun, but asked his subordinates to stop him, and then let the eunuch talk.

The little flag officer just now returned again and shouted loudly: "Wang Zongqi stop, there is a father-in-law who wants to ask you something!"

This sentence can cause trouble, as soon as he heard that a eunuch came to him, Wang Baokun knew that the matter was likely to be exposed.

At this time, it is no longer possible to play calmly.

"escape……"

After the words fell, Wang Baokun was the first to rush out, and Li Lin and ten others also rushed out quickly.

And the soldier of Zheng Zongqi was all stunned at the moment, completely unaware of what was going on.

Inside the Wengcheng, Huang Tianyan knew something had happened when he heard the word "escape" outside, and this Wang Baokun was indeed haunted.

"You idiots, don't rush to arrest people. If you let that Wang escape, Eunuch Lin will not spare you!"

At this time, Huang Tianyan yelled: "Leave ten people, and everyone else will follow me to arrest them!"
