Chapter 257: Treating Each Other with Politeness (Three Watches)

Sure enough, as Li Yuntian expected, when he, Zhao Xinyue and others were arrested, Zhu Zhantan ordered the entire Zhao family set to be blocked, and only allowed to enter but not leave, so as not to leak the news of his arrest. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.

However, Zhu Zhantan was a step late, and the middle-aged man who was sent by Zhao Zeen to Shimen Qianhu to report had already ridden a fast horse before Shi Hu's sergeant blocked Zhao Jiaji, and galloped towards Shimen County.

Although Zhao Xinyue "harbored the bandits", Zhu Zhantan did not attack the people of the Zhao family, because he did not take the people of the Zhao family in his eyes at all, and only wanted to know where Zhu Zhanji was from Li Yuntian's mouth.

In Zhu Zhantan's opinion, Li Yuntian must know where Zhu Zhanji is hiding, the reason is very simple, he is convinced that he has trapped Zhu Zhanji in Dexian County, and Li Yuntian is a celebrity in front of Emperor Hong Xi will definitely escort Zhu Zhanji back to Beijing, how can he be separated from Zhu Zhanji?

I'm afraid that Zhu Zhanji is hiding in one place now, and Li Yuntian wanted to ask for help, but he was blocked in Zhao Jiaji, and was accidentally discovered by Zhao Heiniu, so as long as Li Yuntian and the others pry open their mouths, then Zhu Zhantan's whereabouts will be clear.

At this time, in an elegant wing room of Zhao's house.

The table in the room was full of sumptuous dishes, Li Yuntian sat at the table and gobbled up the food in his mouth, these days in order to avoid revealing flaws, he and Li Manshan, Song Dashan, and Wang Zhen have been eating the pastries bought by Xiaoling, and they are already tired of eating, and now there is a sweet taste in their mouths, and they can't wait to eat a meat meal.

Zhao Xinyue sat beside Li Yuntian a little crampedly, and there was also a pair of dishes and chopsticks in front of her, but she didn't have the heart to eat, biting her lip and looking at Zhu Zhantan who was sitting opposite Li Yuntian.

Zhu Zhantan was sipping tea there with great interest, looking confident, Shi Hu and two guards standing behind him.

Although Zhao Xinyue didn't know Zhu Zhantan's identity, since Shi Hu didn't even have the qualifications to sit, the "third son" in Li Yuntian's mouth must not be an idle person.

"It's so pleasant, it's been a long time since I've eaten so comfortably." Finally, Li Yuntian put the chopsticks in his hand on the table, patted his stomach, and then looked up at Zhu Zhantan opposite, and smiled at him, "Thank you for the kindness of the third prince and the subordinate for giving the lower official a full meal, so as not to become a starving ghost." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xinyue couldn't help but get nervous, and looked at Li Yuntian with a concerned expression, could it be that this third prince really dared to kill Li Yuntian?

"Li Yushi, you are not only the imperial history of the Ming Dynasty, but also the son-in-law of the Duke of Zhongguo, how can this king take your life." Zhu Zhantan took a sip of tea, smiled and said to Li Yuntian, "As long as you tell the whereabouts of the prince, then it is the head of Conglong, and it is also the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty's future, and the marquis is just around the corner!" ”

Zhao Xinyue coldly heard the word "prince", and then heard "Conglong", her face turned pale in an instant, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hands, with a shocked face, it was obvious that the third prince who called himself the prince wanted to be unfavorable to the prince.

"Third son, Xia Guan has made it very clear just now, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, why are you so persistent?" Li Yuntian smiled bitterly and opened his mouth to persuade.

"This Ming Dynasty was originally beaten down by my father, the first emperor Jing was in Puzikou in front of many relatives and said that he wanted to pass the throne to my father, if it wasn't for the villain, now the dragon chair in the Taihe Hall is sitting on my father!"

Zhu Zhantan's face was cold, and he said coldly to Li Yuntian, and he became a little excited for a while, the "villain" in his mouth not only included Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, who were members of the court, but also brought Li Yuntian, who had ruined the Han Dynasty's major event last year.

"The third son, the eldest son is orderly, the foundation of the country, it is precisely because of this that the first emperor set up the emperor as the crown prince back then." Li Yuntian also knew about this, and said with a deep sigh, although Emperor Yongle had this intention at that time, his words were not so straightforward, and he only said that if King Han worked hard and Emperor Hongxi was not in good health, I am afraid that it will become a public case that cannot be full of controversy in the future.

"Orderly?" Zhu Zhantan sneered and asked Li Yuntian in a deep voice, "Could it be that Li Yushi forgot the martyrdom of the first emperor?" ”

Li Yuntian was a little speechless for a while, Emperor Yongle was neither the concubine of Ming Taizu, nor the eldest son, according to his previous statement, he could not sit on the throne at all, but later won the world.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, let alone a royal matter, how can Li Yuntian say anything?

"Li Yushi, anyway, you have been trapped and died in Dexian County now, the crown prince is gone, as long as the emperor's fasting and blessing period is over, my father will enter Beijing to take charge of the overall situation."

Zhu Zhantan saw that Li Yuntian was silent, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart, and persuaded quietly, "Li Yushi, you have been here for so many days, you are already worthy of the emperor, there is no need to suffer for the prince." ”

"Thank you for the good intentions of the prince, but the matter of eating the king, the matter of loyalty to the king, since the lower official is the emperor's official, then you must be loyal to the emperor." When Li Yuntian heard this, he got up and arched his hand at Zhu Zhantan, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, then this king will fulfill you." Zhu Zhantan saw that Li Yuntian was so "pedantic", he couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, felt quite disappointed, and got up to leave.

If Li Yuntian can be used by the King of Han, then it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the great cause of the King of Han, and Zhou Zheng's attitude will be affected accordingly.

You must know that the Jingwei guarding the capital is now in the hands of Zhou Zheng, if Zhou Zheng falls to the King of Han, then the pro-army soldiers who protect the palace are not afraid at all.

This is also an important reason why Li Yuntian is not worried that Zhu Zhantan will take his life, it's just a big deal to let him suffer some hardships, no matter what, he must leave him a life, otherwise it will not do the King of Han any good if he angers Zhou Zheng.

Moreover, not only Li Yuntian, but also Li Manshan, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen also knew the whereabouts of the prince, and Zhu Zhantan could find the prince from the mouths of the three.

It's just that in this way, he can't surrender to Li Yuntian, which will undoubtedly be a pity.

In fact, Zhu Zhantan wants to win over Li Yuntian not only for the sake of King Han, he also has a more far-reaching intention, that is, in the future, not only will Li Yuntian serve him, but he will also be able to obtain Zhou Zheng's support, and then confront his second brother Zhu Zhanqi.

If the king of Han ascends the throne, then as Li Yuntian said, the eldest son is orderly, and the eldest son Zhu Zhanqi is already dead, then it is the turn of the second son Zhu Zhanqi to be the crown prince, and the only one who can threaten Zhu Zhanqi's status is his younger brother, the third son Zhu Zhantan.

Instead of being a prince, Zhu Zhantan of course also wanted to sit on the dragon chair in the Taihe Palace, so he took precautions and planned early.

"Brother Li, what the hell is going on? Why did they harm the prince? Waiting for Zhu Zhantan and Shi Hu to leave, Zhao Xinyue asked Li Yuntian in a low voice with some surprise.

"Remember, you can only bury this matter in your heart, and you can't say it to anyone." Li Yuntian did not answer Zhao Xinyue, but solemnly told her that the less she knew about Zhao Xinyue, the safer.

"They...... Will they confess where the prince is? Zhao Xinyue saw Li Yuntian's stern expression, so she nodded nervously, and then thought of something, and couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"No!" Li Yuntian knew that Zhao Xinyue was asking Li Manshan, Song Dashan and Wang Zhen, and it was estimated that the three of them were now being tortured to extract confessions, so he said after a while, "Their lives belong to the prince, and they will never betray the prince." ”

In fact, there is a deeper meaning that Li Yuntian did not sue Zhao Xinyue, that is, Li Manshan and the three of them may not escape death whether they recruit or not: if they don't recruit, Zhu Zhantan will not let them go, and if they do, the prince will not let them go.

Now that the prince has left Jining Mansion for the capital, there is a high probability that he has arrived in the capital, so the three of them naturally want to gamble and bet that the prince will enter the capital smoothly, so that even if they die, they can leave a glory for their families.

"That's good!" Zhao Xinyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, and reached out and patted her chest, although she had never seen the prince, but the prince was orthodox in her opinion, and those who wanted to murder the prince were bad people, which was also the opinion of ordinary people.

"In this case, I'm afraid you're going to have to suffer a bit." Li Yuntian saw that Zhao Xinyue did not have the slightest premonition of the impending danger, and hesitated for a moment and said, "I hope they can carry Lu Qianhu to Shimen Qianhu and lead the troops to arrive." ”

"Why, I don't know the whereabouts of the prince?" Zhao Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and asked quite puzzled, could it be that the third prince would think that Li Yuntian would tell her such important news?

"They're coming at me." Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, Zhu Zhantan let Zhao Xinyue stay here with the idea of fighting him, wanting to use Zhao Xinyue to force him to comply, this is Zhu Zhantan's best way to deal with him now.

"This girl is not afraid, it's just a big deal!" Zhao Xinyue understood now, it turned out that the third prince's target was her, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she bit her lip and said to Li Yuntian with a resolute expression.

"Rest assured, they don't have a chance to move you." Seeing this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile slightly, glanced at several Zhu Zhantan's guards guarding the door, took out an object from his body and put it on the table in front of Zhao Xinyue.

Zhao Xinyue was stunned when she fixed her eyes, it was a pair of scissors, Li Yuntian took it when he left her bedroom just now, Zhu Zhantan was in control of the overall situation now, so he didn't search him.

"As long as they dare to push me, I will kill myself." Then, Zhao Xinyue understood what Li Yuntian meant, reached out and picked up the scissors, and said to Li Yuntian in a resolute tone.

"Even ants are still stealing life, let alone people." Li Yuntian was stunned, then laughed dumbly, understood that Zhao Xinyue had misunderstood him, and said in a low voice, "Put it away, if they want to be rough with you, you can put this pair of scissors on my neck, and we will be saved when Lu Qianhu arrives with troops." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xinyue was taken aback, and looked at Li Yuntian with a surprised expression, she didn't expect Li Yuntian to come up with such a solution.

"Their goal is me, and as long as I'm in your hands, they won't dare to act rashly." Li Yuntian saw Zhao Xinyue's stunned face, and whispered, "If they mess up, then you must show your determination to kill me, only then will they be afraid." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Xinyue nodded hurriedly when she heard this, she now figured out that Li Yuntian was going to use a bitter trick and use his life to delay time in order to wait for Lu Qianhu's rescue, which may be the best way at present. One
