The Three Kingdoms: I asked you to save Guan Yu, not to destroy Sun Quan.

Chapter 328 Confrontation with the School Affairs Office at the Main Gate

Wang Bin guessed that someone was tailing Feng Fei's wife, so he did not act blindly. Instead, he ordered the soldiers of the two garrisons to secretly leave through the back gate and then move quietly from the left and right flanks toward the city gate, trying to surround the kidnappers who were preparing to abduct Feng Fei.

Then, a double for Feng Fei was selected from the garrison, and the double and Feng Fei's wife left the factory and headed to the county government office.

Wang Bin was worried that the two of them were inexperienced and wouldn't be able to fool the kidnappers, so he went along with them. As they ran, he instructed them, "You parents must be very anxious because your son has been kidnapped. You must wish you could sprout wings and fly to your child's side. So we can't run too slowly, or the kidnappers will become suspicious."

"But we can't run too fast. We need to buy time for the main force to flank us from both sides. Otherwise, if the kidnappers kidnap us and the main force can't catch up with us, we're doomed. So you have to appear to be running very fast, but actually run very slowly, understand?"

The stand-in and Feng Fei's wife were both cursing in their hearts at the same time. How could such a contradictory situation of being both fast and slow occur at the same time? Can you teach me?

The substitute said with difficulty, "Master Clerk, I really want to carry out your order, but I really can't do it."

As Wang Bin ran, he said, "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean my wife can't. How about I ask her to trip and fall every few steps? Think about it, my wife is worried sick about her son. It's normal for her to fall while running, right? And if she falls, it's not wrong for you, as her husband, to bend down and help her up. Wouldn't that buy us some time? It'll just make my wife suffer a little, but I think she's willing to endure that for her son, right?"

The stand-in gaped in astonishment, and couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Officials are always so cunning."

Feng Fei's wife, without thinking twice, immediately collapsed to the ground with her right leg buckling. It has to be said that women are truly born actresses.

She fell, and her stand-in immediately went to help her up. Wang Bin assisted from the side. After Feng Fei's wife regained her footing, they set off again. A while had passed.

After that, Feng Fei's wife would fall every few steps she ran, forcing Wang Bin and his stand-in to run a long way and then turn back to help her up each time. It was like taking five steps forward and two steps back. The secret agents from the school administration who were secretly watching her were extremely frustrated and couldn't help but curse, "Damn woman, she's so damn slow."

After walking for nearly half an hour, they finally entered the encirclement of the secret agents of the School Affairs Bureau. Zhang Jing led more than twenty subordinates to quickly rush out and surround the three of them.

Zhang Jing walked to the front of the formation and said excitedly, "I only wanted to capture Feng Fei, but I didn't expect to run into Deputy Factory Director Wang. What a pleasant surprise! Zhang Jing, the Registrar of the School Affairs Office, greets Registrar Wang. Registrar Wang, Prefect Wang is so worried about you that he asked me to take you home."

The "Wang Biejia" he mentioned was none other than Wang Bin's cousin, Wang Xiang, the current head of the Langya Wang clan, and the one who lay on ice to catch carp in history.

Wang Bin calmly smiled and said, "As expected of the School Affairs Office. Besides kidnapping and extortion, what else can your School Affairs Office do?"

Zhang Jing shook his head, not ashamed but proud, and said, "No, we are the imperial court's lackeys. When have you ever heard of lackeys doing human things?"

Wang Bin: "..."

You're pretty much a bachelor, aren't you?

Zhang Jing ignored him and instead looked at the double, asking, "You must be Feng Fei. I've admired you for a long time. Come with me obediently, and the King of Wei will give you a brighter future than here. What do you say?"

The stand-in, like a frightened deer, pulled Feng Fei's wife and hid behind Wang Bin.

Zhang Jing sneered, "Since you won't cooperate, don't blame me. Make your move."

After saying this, he was about to order his subordinates to forcibly capture him when Wang Bin said, "Wait, look behind you."

Zhang Jing instinctively turned around, but Wang Bin drew his sword and rushed towards Zhang Jing, shouting as he charged, "Zhang Jing, have you thought this through? You want Feng Fei alive, not a dead corpse. How will you explain yourself if Feng Fei dies?"

After saying that, he swung his sword at the secret agents from the School Affairs Office who were blocking his way, while his double, holding Feng Fei's wife with one hand and his sword with the other, followed closely behind.

The secret agents of the school administration did not expect Wang Bin to dare to fight back, and because of Wang Bin's words, they were hesitant to act. For a moment, Wang Bin broke through the encirclement. Fortunately, Zhang Jing reacted quickly and shouted, "Don't shoot arrows to capture him alive. If it's really impossible, cut off his legs. Just leave his mouth so he can talk."

Seeing that this wouldn't work, the double quickly said, "Clerk Wang, you go first and I'll cover your retreat. You surnamed Zhang, if you dare to pursue me, I'll commit suicide on the spot and make sure you get nothing."

After saying this, he charged towards the school administration office. The secret agents of the school administration office dared not harm him or force him to commit suicide, and were actually blocked for a time. Wang Bin took this opportunity to quickly leave with Feng Fei's wife.

After several rendezvous, the double was captured. Before Zhang Jing could even rejoice, Wang Bin, who had just run out of the range of the arrows, returned, this time followed by hundreds of soldiers.

"Damn it..." Zhang Jing didn't dare to linger, cursed, and turned to leave, only to be surrounded by Han troops from other directions.

Half an hour later, the officers of the School Affairs Office were surrounded by a Han army that outnumbered them tenfold. Zhang Jing looked around and said in astonishment, "Wang Bin, you fucking tricked me?"

Wang Bin sheathed his sword and calmly smiled, "Isn't it just giving you court lackeys the same treatment? I advise you not to make a move. The laws of the Han Dynasty stipulate that murderers must pay with their lives. If Feng Fei lives, you'll at most be sent to work in the mines, but if he dies, you'll be buried with him."

"If we send him to mine, Zhang Gongcao might have a chance to escape, given his abilities. But if I kill him on the spot, he won't have a chance to be reborn. I think Zhang Gongcao will make the right choice, what do you think?"

These words were both a threat and a promise. The promise was that as long as the person was released, he would be sent to the mine. Although mining was not a good job, the management of the mine was certainly not as strict as that of the steel mill. With Zhang Jing's abilities, he might actually find a chance to escape if he went to the mine.

Zhang Jing was caught in a mental struggle. After a long time, he finally steeled himself, threw down his weapon, and said, "I admit defeat."

Zhang Jing and his men were all captured. Wang Bin escorted them to the city, asking on the way, "Zhang Gongcao, where is the child?"

Zhang Jing replied, "He's in my companion's hands. He should still be at the birthday banquet right now, but he might not surrender. So how to save the child is your business. I can't help you."

Wang Bin didn't say much, patiently leading Zhang Jing on their journey.

What he didn't know was that the spy Li Sheng sent to keep an eye on Feng Fei's wife didn't meet up with Zhang Jing. Instead, he was working in the fields with a hoe, which fooled the surrounding Han army, and he witnessed the whole process of Zhang Jing's capture.

Then, not daring to linger, he threw down his hoe and ran into the city. Once back in the city, he crawled through a dog hole into the mansion and came to Li Sheng, saying, "Captain, something terrible has happened! Zhang Gongcao and the others have all been captured."

Li Sheng's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

The spy quickly recounted what had happened. After listening, Li Sheng pondered, "We can't stay in the mansion any longer. We must take the child and leave immediately. Then we can use the child to force the Han army to make way. Let's go."

After saying this, he led his men out through the dog hole, returned to the restaurant, and gathered people to take all the mules and horses away. The mules and horses were both mounts and food, so they couldn't be thrown away. As for the other supplies of the caravan, they could only reluctantly discard them.

A caravan is not something that can be handled by just three or five people. The caravan of the School Affairs Office had more than eighty people, and Li Sheng had more than fifty people gathered around him. Once everyone was there, he led the hostages and swaggered toward the city gate.

As expected, they ran into Wang Bin, who was escorting Zhang Jing into the city, just as they reached the city gate. Li Sheng, holding the child in one arm and a dagger to the child's neck with the other, shouted, "Wang, the registrar, is that right? Come out and meet me."
