On the night when most of the officers and soldiers on the dock of Jining Mansion were transferred, two figures quickly boarded the boat of Lei Ting parked on the shore under the cover of night, it was Zhu Zhanji and Zhou Feng.

Li Yuntian had successfully attracted Zhu Zhantan's attention, which gave Zhu Zhanji a chance to escape from Jining Mansion, as long as he left Jining Mansion smoothly, then the Han King's people would no longer be able to form such a big formation against him in the future.

The next day, Lei Ting came to the dock accompanied by the master of Yongtang and others, and after saying goodbye to everyone, she boarded the boat and prepared to go to the capital.

After the boat left the dock, Lei Ting immediately went to see Zhu Zhanji, and it was only then that she was surprised to know that only Zhu Zhanji and Zhou Feng were on the boat, and Li Yuntian led Li Manshan, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen as bait to lure the enemy.

Don't look at Zhu Zhanji as the crown prince, but in Lei Ting's heart, Li Yuntian is much more important than Zhu Zhanji, if it weren't for Li Yuntian's thousands of instructions in the letter to ask her to escort the prince into Beijing, she would have gotten off the boat to find Li Yuntian, and now she can only pray silently for Li Yuntian in her heart.

When Lei Ting set off by boat, in Dexian County, northwest of Jining Mansion and adjacent to Jinan Prefecture, in a remote, desolate and dilapidated mountain temple.

Li Yuntian, dressed in ordinary people's clothes, sat with Zhou Feng, Song Dashan, and Wang Zhenwei and enjoyed breakfast, which was very simple, a few flatbreads and some braised pork.

Since leaving Zhangzhuang Town, they have changed their clothes and specially picked country roads to walk, covering up along the way, leaving suspicious traces in many villages and towns along the way, which is enough to attract the people of the Han King.

For Li Yuntian, the later they are discovered, the safer Zhu Zhanji will be, and adjacent to Dexian County is Shimen County in Jinan Prefecture, which is Li Yuntian's territory, as long as the people who enter the Han King in Shimen County have no way to take him.

"My lord, they will definitely follow the clues we left behind, what should we do next?" After eating breakfast, Song Dashan asked Li Yuntian for instructions worriedly.

Yesterday afternoon, when they passed through a village, they were interrogated by the villagers, if it weren't for Li Manshan's authentic Shimen County accent, saying that he had come to Jining City to visit relatives, and those villagers saw that Li Yuntian and others were polite and polite, so they were not suspected of being deceived and let them go, they would have been arrested by those villagers and handed over to the government.

It was only at this time that Li Yuntian and others knew that the Jining Prefecture had sent people to notify all villages and towns in Dexian County, asking the villagers to strictly guard against outsiders passing by, saying that those outsiders might be the bandits who ransacked the big family.

Li Yuntian was not overjoyed when he heard the news, and although he thought that it would make their situation worse, it showed that the people of the Han King had successfully been deceived by his Li Daitao's plan.

"Find a place to settle down and take shelter from the limelight first." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and comforted in an orderly manner, "Jining Mansion is not far from the capital, as long as we can hold on until the prince enters the capital, then we will be saved." ”

Li Yuntian was sure at this time that Dexian County was now surrounded by troops sent by the Han King, so not to mention going to Shimen County, even returning to Jining City had become an extravagant hope, and the other party made it clear that he would be trapped in Dexian County.

"Now that Jining Prefecture has mobilized the entire Dexian County to search for us, I am afraid that we will be arrested by those villagers as soon as we appear." Wang Zhen's brows furrowed slightly, and he reminded Li Yuntian with concern.

Although they were lucky enough to avoid being questioned by a village yesterday afternoon, good fortune does not always accompany them, and if they encounter vigilant villagers, they are in a worrying situation.

"There seems to be a town around here, Li Baihu, you go to the town to investigate and see where the largest family in the town is, and what the surrounding terrain is." Li Yuntian knew that if it was inconvenient for them to go on the road now, otherwise they would definitely be discovered by the villagers along the way, so after thinking about it, he ordered Li Manshan in a deep voice.

"Obedience." Li Manshan arched his hand, got up and left.

He speaks the local dialect and dresses up as a local villager, so naturally he will not arouse the suspicion of the townspeople, and it is most suitable to go to that town to investigate the situation.

In the afternoon, Li Manshan rushed back from the town, he had already found out the situation in the town, this town is called Zhao Jiaji, and the largest family in the town is Zhao Zeen, the patriarch of the Zhao family in Zhao Jiaji.

Zhao Zeen is nearly sixty years old, Hongwu years in Shandong, once served as an official of the eighth grade in Jinan Mansion, a few years ago Zhishi went home, recuperating in the old age.

Zhao Mansion is the most magnificent mansion of the Zhao family, covering a vast area, pavilions and pavilions are readily available, it is a famous family in Jining Mansion, there are many people in the family who are on errands in the county government, among which there are many important departments such as the county government household room and the punishment room.

"That's it!" After understanding the situation of the Zhao Mansion, Li Yuntian made up his mind and said to Li Manshan and the others, "Wait until the evening, let's sneak into the Zhao family and take shelter in the Zhao family for the time being." ”

"My lord, this is an extraordinary time, I'm afraid Zhao Zeen won't accept us." Song Dashan couldn't help but look embarrassed when he heard this.

"Didn't the government say that we are vicious bandits, so how can we live up to their 'good intentions'?" Li Yuntian smiled slightly, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Song Dashan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, and looked at Wang Zhen, could it be that Li Yuntian wanted to pretend to be a bandit and break into Zhao Zeen's house?

The two guessed correctly, this is exactly Li Yuntian's plan, Li Yuntian is actually very easy to get out, he is from Shimen County, with a local accent, he can easily break through those checkpoints on the road and return to Shimen County.

It's just that in this way, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen will definitely fall into the hands of the Han King, and if the two of them leak the confidential affairs that Zhu Zhanji has left on Lei Ting's boat under severe torture, then the consequences will be unimaginable.

The reason why Li Yuntian set this plan for Li Dai was not really to go to Jinan Mansion for help, but to attract the attention of the people sent by the King of Han as a suspicious army until Zhu Zhanji arrived in Beijing.

As long as King Han believed that Zhu Zhanji was trapped in Dexian County, then Zhu Zhanji's journey north would become safe and he would not encounter any more trouble, who would have thought that Zhu Zhanji would be on Lei Ting's ship?

Li Yuntian's true purpose was only known to Zhu Zhanji, including Li Manshan, Song Dashan, and Wang Zhen, who all thought that Li Yuntian was going to lead them to Jinan Mansion, and the reason why Li Yuntian concealed it from them was that it was worried that it would affect their morale.

To put it bluntly, his plan this time is completely to act as Zhu Zhanji's "cannon fodder", if Li Manshan, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen knew the truth, although they didn't say it, they would definitely be depressed in their hearts, who would want to die in vain?

The so-called mourning is nothing more than the death of the heart, once the psychology of Li Manshan and the three of them fluctuates, they will definitely not be able to complete the task of luring the enemy assigned by Li Yuntian wholeheartedly, and then reveal flaws.

At midnight, four figures quietly sneaked into the quiet Zhao Jiaji, and quickly came to the back door of Zhao Zeen's house under the guidance of a figure.

Through the bright moonlight in the sky, you can see that these four sneaky people are Li Yuntian, Li Manshan, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen.

At Li Yuntian's signal, Li Manshan quietly climbed over the courtyard wall, opened the back door and let them in.

Although Li Manshan inquired about some of the situation of the Zhao family during the day, he had never been to the Zhao family, so the four of them carefully walked forward while observing the surrounding movements.

A dignified Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Ming Dynasty, a Jishi of the Hanlin Academy, a hundred households of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Weinan Town, plus two close attendants of the East Palace, the Zhao family was fortunate to encounter the patronage of "bandits" of high specifications, which is also an alternative honor.

According to Li Yuntian's plan, he is going to kidnap Zhao Zeen's grandson Zhao Yongji, Zhao Yongji is now 20 years old, the eldest son and grandson of the Zhao family, and has been admitted to the county this year, and is preparing to take the township examination in Shandong next year, and is deeply valued by Zhao Zeen.

According to the news from Li Manshan, Zhao Zeen is now preparing for the exam at home, as long as he is arrested, then Zhao Zeen will not dare to act rashly, and obediently follow Li Yuntian's orders.

"My lord, I'll go grab someone and ask to see where Zhao Yongji lives." Coming to a small forest, Li Manshan glanced at the courtyards of the Zhao family that were connected one by one, and asked Li Yuntian for instructions in a deep voice.

"Don't be so troublesome, since Zhao Yongji wants to prepare for the township test, the place where he lives must be quiet and quiet." Li Yuntian pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "I paid attention when I was outside just now, the courtyard in the southwest corner of the Zhao family is far away from the street, and Zhao Yongji lives over there. ”

Li Manshan nodded when he heard this, Li Yuntian's analysis was reasonable, if it was him, he would definitely choose the secluded courtyard in the southwest corner to prepare for the exam.

Song Dashan and Wang Zhen couldn't help but glance at each other, the two of them didn't expect this, after Li Yuntian dialed it so much, they immediately thought it was true, and secretly admired Li Yuntian's thoughtfulness.

Then, the four of them tiptoed towards the southwest of Zhao's house, dodging two night watchmen carrying lanterns and snorting in the sky, who could not have imagined that someone was hiding under their noses anyway.

After coming to the courtyard in the southwest, Li Yuntian's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, what appeared in front of him were two adjacent courtyards, the specifications and styles of the courtyards were exactly the same, the trees were shady, and they were all planted with flowers and plants, which seemed to be quiet, and he couldn't tell which courtyard Zhao Yongji lived in for a while.

"My lord, what should I do?" Li Manshan also realized this and asked in a low voice.

"Let's see how lucky we are." Li Yuntian pondered for a while, and led Li Manshan to the small courtyard on the left, where Song Dashan and Wang Zhen hid behind a big tree and probed their heads to watch.

There is a two-storey attic in the small courtyard, which is the main building, Li Manshan pulled out the dagger and slowly opened the bolt of the door, followed Li Yuntian and walked lightly to the second floor of the attic.

Halfway up, the tip of Li Yuntian's nose twitched a few times, then stopped, made a gesture to Li Manshan, and the two quietly went downstairs and left.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Outside the door, Li Manshan asked suspiciously.

"Did you smell a faint scent in the room?" Li Yuntian glanced at the second floor of the attic and replied softly.

"This is a woman's boudoir!" Li Manshan suddenly came back to his senses when he heard this, and also looked upstairs.

Li Yuntian nodded, affirming Li Manshan's statement, the fewer people they came to alarm the Zhao family this time, the better, so they couldn't rashly break into the woman's boudoir.

Li Manshan then used a dagger to turn back the door bolt little by little, and followed Li Yuntian to the courtyard on the right, and the main building of the courtyard on the right side was also a two-story attic.

When the two of them entered the building and walked up the stairs cautiously, Li Yuntian stopped again, and after sniffing a few times, his face showed a depressed look, he smelled the same fragrance as in the attic of the courtyard on the left, could it be that there are also female dependents living here?
