In the north in October, the weather has gradually cooled, and at night, the outdoor temperature is only about ten degrees, far from the south.

At four or five o'clock in the afternoon, the foreigners put on their coats to ward off the cold air and prevent themselves from getting sick.

There are about ten foreign soldiers under the city, plus more than a dozen local dog-legged men who are responsible for checking all pedestrian caravans.

When encountering ordinary people, after the body search, these people will basically not leave too much property in line with the principle of goose plucking, and most of the time they will not even leave a penny.

When encountering those caravans, the foreign soldiers will extort fiercely, otherwise they will be forbidden to enter the city, or the goods will be confiscated, and those merchants will often not end well.

Although the predatory nature of foreigners has been curtailed a lot recently, and even new disciplines have been introduced in various countries, there are times when those disciplines are not very useful.

At five o'clock, Ma Sanru looked up at the sky and felt that the time was almost up, so he waved his hand and the team set off again.

They had been resting here for half an hour, and after the coalition troops entered the city, the gates of the capital were closed about a quarter before the unitary hour, which was converted to modern time, that is, before 5:15.

Although the curfew in the city has been delayed a bit, it is not so easy to get in and out of the city after the city gates are closed.

The convoy was now about three or four miles away from the capital, and it took about half an hour to reach the city gate, and the first carriage could enter the city about half an hour before the city gate was closed.

After entering the city, wait for about an hour, and the sky will be completely dark, but if you do it, it is estimated that it will not be until after the hour.

In the distance, when they saw a large caravan heading towards the city gate, the defenders on the city wall were even more wide-eyed. It seemed to him that it was not a caravan at all, but a white stream of silver coming towards them.

And after approaching the city gate, James, the commander of the defending company of the city, suddenly smiled on his face after seeing the man walking in the front, and hurriedly went down the city tower with a few cronies, and he decided to come to meet the caravan himself.

"Hey! Boss Yang, we're meeting again! As soon as the caravan reached the city gate, James stepped forward and gave Ma Sanru a fierce bear hug, and after seeing Ma Sanru's almost breathless expression, James let go of Ma Sanru with a smile.

"James, I promise you, if you hold it a little longer, I'll die in your arms." Ma Sanru stretched out his hand again and again to stroke his chest, making a panting appearance, with a slightly dissatisfied expression in his mouth, but forcibly suppressed.

"Hey, man, you can't say that, we're such good friends, of course we have to hug when we meet, don't you?" James didn't think there was anything wrong with it, if it weren't for the white silver, he wouldn't have been so enthusiastic.

"James, it's not too early, I was supposed to enter the city at noon yesterday as planned, but I was delayed a lot on the way here. So those people in the city must be dying in a hurry, and I have to hurry to pay for it, or the gang will deduct the money. Ma Sanru pointed to the city, then took out a small bag from his bosom and quietly handed it to James.

The mouth of the bag was not tied particularly tightly, and while handing it to James, Ma Sanru also deliberately exposed some of the things inside.

And looking at this deflated bag, James was still a little unhappy in his heart.

But when he saw that the bag contained gold, not silver, the expression on his face suddenly returned to his previous enthusiasm.

You know, this small bag of gold is worth a lot of money, and when converted into US dollars, it will cost at least hundreds of dollars, not to mention that James is a company commander, even his annual salary is not worth one-third of this bag.

“OK！ But the old rule, you need to file here, and then I'm going to spot check the goods on the car. Under the cover of Ma Sanru, James quietly stuffed the bag into his pocket with a businesslike expression.

"No problem!" Ma Sanru said.

Then, James took out a notebook, and then Ma Sanru reported the name and quantity of the goods on the car, and James recorded it in the notebook.

When he heard more than a hundred carts of grain, James was also slightly stunned, you must know that there is a shortage of food in the city these days, and he didn't expect that Boss Yang's news is still quite well-informed.

Subsequently, James randomly checked a few or two wagons, and found that they were indeed filled with grain, so he had no intention of continuing the random inspection.

As for the more than 400 armed guards, James didn't have much to worry about, and after registering, he let them enter the city together.

The foreigners have made great efforts to restore order in the city, and the policy for some foreign caravans is also relatively relaxed.

Caravans are also allowed to be protected by armed forces, and they are also allowed to enter the city, but they must be registered in detail.

Because they are all old acquaintances, and Ma Sanru gave gifts very well, James was not embarrassed.

Before leaving, Ma Sanru also made an appointment with James to wait in the city tower at night, and Ma Sanru would come over with wine and food at that time.

Of course, in addition to eating and drinking, there will naturally be some other things, such as inquiring about some news in the city, some shortage of goods, or seeking protection.

At the same time, for those foreign soldiers who were approached, this was equivalent to an extra income.

The U.S. military strictly forbade anyone to steal wealth, and even forbade trespassing on people's homes. But for those who come to the door on their own initiative, this one is very laxly managed, as long as it is not discovered.

So, James had realized that he would still have a good income at night.

So, after watching Ma Sanru leave, James returned to the city tower triumphantly, silently counting the gold that Ma Sanru gave him before.

After entering the city, Ma Sanru led the team straight to a warehouse they had purchased in the city, disguised as a real caravan, piled up the grain on the wagon, and then left the soldiers to wait here.

As for Ma Sanru himself, he led a few cronies to buy a lot of good wine and food on the street, just drinks, and filled a whole cart.

Subsequently, Wang Sirui distributed the sweat medicine and thick licorice juice prepared in advance to everyone to prevent someone from falling into a coma after drinking it.

After doing this, Ma Sanru and his entourage went to Xibianmen, and when they went back, the city gate had been closed, and the foreign soldiers had already laid a cover in the city gate hole, and under the light of the fire, more than ten people were very bored playing games.

Ma Sanru left enough wine and food for these people, and the rest were all moved to the city tower, and the henchmen he brought were temporarily arranged to be waiters, who were responsible for pouring wine and the next medicine.
