Chapter 114 Breaking through the city gate

Since they decided to take a risk, they would wait until midnight to check it out. Bao Qing and his team found an inn with many individuals and stayed secretly.

Waiting is hard, and waiting for the arrival of unknown destiny is even harder. Everyone didn't sleep or say much, just waited.

"When you leave later, you will be divided into two carriages. Safety first, don't force yourself to rush! At the same time, everyone is planning the worst." Bao Qing said.

"Don't worry, we didn't offend them. At worst, we would stay in Bazhou City and not leave." Wang Weisheng said.

"You old man, everyone has come to your house. Even if you don't offend others, they will think of destroying your mouth. It's really like a pig's head." The woman pointed at Wang Weisheng's head and cursed.

In fact, Bao Qing was not worried about this. The Plum Blossom Gang was going to silence him, but the soldiers guarding the city gate should not have any relationship with the Plum Blossom Gang.

Bao Qing was worried that once the soldiers guarding the city gate found that they were eager to escape from Bazhou, they would be afraid that they would arrest him. Then, if they had carefully checked, it would not be difficult to find out that their identity as an imperial envoy in the court. If they dig deeper, they would probably not be able to hide what they did for long. If that time came, their situation would be worrying.

...

Curfew is usually imposed at night in the border town. At night, the street is so quiet that it is scary. Occasionally, people will pass by, or a team of patrol soldiers pass by. If they encounter a night cat, a heart-catching cat moan will scare people to death.

It was dark tonight, and there was no moon hanging in the sky, and there was no starlight. In addition, the cold wind blew, it was difficult for soldiers patrolling the street to see it. Bao Qing thought of a word, the moon was dark and the wind was high and the night of murder!

Although the horse's hooves were wrapped with cotton cloth to relieve the sound of horse's hooves, the creaking sound of the car wheels could not be stopped. The sounds really caught everyone's hearts, for fear of being discovered. Finally, as agreed, we arrived at the city gate, but we did not see the city gate open.

Bao Qing secretly got off the carriage and spread his eyes and looked around. Suddenly, one hand was placed on Bao Qing's shoulder, almost scaring Bao Qing to death.

"It will scare people, it will scare people!" Bao Qing saw that it was the daytime captain, and he did not carry the lantern, as if he was waiting by the city wall.

"Don't say it for now, listen to me!" the captain said anxiously.

"Listen carefully, I'll be about to open the city gate. Two soldiers will enter the city immediately. They are messengers from Baozhou. They will arrive at this time every day, and the city gate is specially opened for them. I happened to be on duty these two days. I will lead the archers on the city gate tower away. The soldiers who opened the city gate will be alone! Other soldiers should be hiding in the house beside the city wall because they are afraid of the cold, and they will not come out." The captain said.

"What do you mean is to let us break through?" Bao Qing was shocked.

"What a tough rush, aren't you an imperial envoy? Didn't you say there were two powerful guards following you? One city guard and two letter delivery guys couldn't do it?" the captain asked.

Then wouldn’t it be a forbidden force? Also, how did this lieutenant know that he was the imperial envoy? It should be Hong Ba’s person.

"Listen, Baozhou is already the Ninth Prince, and Zhong Shan is also the Ninth Prince! General Manager Hong was fooled and regretted not to believe Zhong Shan's words. He transferred two armies to the emperor and hoped that the Thirteenth Prince would be fair. The prince did not plot against him."

Bao Qing completely understood. I guess all these words should be what Hong Ba asked the captain to say to him. Bao Qing couldn't help but admire Hong Ba a little, but he didn't expect that Hong Ba was so loyal to the Thirteenth Prince. At this time, he was still concerned about the Thirteenth Prince. I'm afraid Hong Ba thought he was afraid that the Thirteenth Prince had fallen into his hands and wanted him to owe him a favor, and indirectly plead for the Thirteenth Prince.

Hong Ba may not know that the Thirteenth Prince did not plan to rebel, but the court hoped that he would plan to rebel. Because the existence of the Thirteenth Prince always made some people in the court uneasy. It can be said that Lu Yijian put a Zhuang Lei in Bazhou, just to force the Thirteenth Prince to rebel and rebel to get an excuse. The court sent himself to Bazhou in order to fuel the fire so that the world could have a testimony.

The court probably believed that as long as everything was arranged in advance, even if the Thirteenth Prince really rebelled, it would be within a controllable range. But what the court did not expect was that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole behind him, and the one who really wanted to rebel was the Ninth Prince who had never been prepared and was known as a wise king.

Bao Qing couldn't help but be impressed by the Ninth Prince's deep thinking and pretended to be a wise king and accumulated popularity. When the throne was hopeless, he would push a relatively weak opponent to the throne so that it would be easier for him to seize the throne in the future. He also sent Zhong Shan to lurk in the power of the Thirteenth Prince, constantly luring Hong Ba to rebel, so as to gain opportunities.

The most ridiculous thing is that the court did all the things to help the Ninth Prince pave the way, from forcing the Thirteenth Prince to rebel and allowing the Ninth Prince to obtain the excuse of clearing the king's side to the tens of thousands of imperial guards sent to suppress the rebellion, they actually set up a god-like envoy for the Ninth Prince to command. These Ninth Princes are indeed not comparable to ordinary people.

Just as Bao Qing was thinking, the captain slapped Bao Qing and whispered: "Hurry up! The soldiers who sent the letter are here, go and prepare!" The captain hid in the darkness after saying that.

Bao Qing hurriedly got into the car and told Zhang Long that he would clean up the soldiers who opened the door while he was opening the door.

Sure enough, not long after, a soldier lit up the torch at the city gate and slowly opened the city gate. Two messengers who looked like soldiers entered the city.

Zhang Long slowly touched the base of the city wall and appeared behind the messenger. With a click, he twisted the necks of the two messengers with both hands. The soldier who opened the city gate just raised the torch and saw the two messengers being twisted off his neck. He looked shocked and was about to open his mouth and call someone. Zhang Long pressed his whole body up, covering the soldier's mouth with one hand and pinching the soldier's neck with the other. After a while, there was no movement.

Zhang Long waved quickly. Bao Qing led the carriage and was about to pass through the city gate. But he saw that all the torches on the city gate tower were lit and illuminated the surroundings in an instant. It turned out that there was a team of soldiers outside the city gate, holding bows and arrows at him.

"Mr. Bao, it's been a long time since I saw you!" Bao Qing looked at him, and a cold and annoying face appeared in front of Bao Qing.

"Commander Zhong, you're hiding well! It's still so far, and you're still pretending to be cool with me! Why are you still having a tight face?" Bao Qing felt a moment of sadness. Now that he was finished, it seemed that he might have to travel through time again. He just hoped that he would suffer less before he died and anger him well. It would be better to shoot himself to death by arrows so that he could travel through time again after he died instantly, and it would be best to pass through the Tang Dynasty.

No, Bao Qing suddenly thought that he was still wearing a treasure robe and could not be shot to death, so he would only be killed by being captured alive.

"Okay! Lord Bao is indeed brave. I really didn't expect that Lord Bao would have such courage to return to Bazhou City. I just happened to want to know how Lord Bao destroyed my plan again and again!" A powerful voice came from the city gate tower.
