"A person like Wei Lingran, who can endure it, has been detained by us in Da Zhou for so long, and he must hate us Da Zhou to the core."

After a pause, Li Tianrun continued: "If he returns to Wei and becomes the crown prince, or even the emperor, he will come to deal with our Great Zhou with the hatred in his heart. ”

"It will pose a great threat to Da Zhou in the future."

"So, there's no way I'm going to let him go."

"And he is Wei Jing'an's only son, Wei Jing'an will definitely not leave him alone, and he will definitely find a way to send someone to rescue him."

"If you want to save him, you will inevitably arrange for someone to get in touch with him."

"But until now, we haven't found anyone in contact with Wei Lingran."

"It's possible that Wei Jing'an hasn't sent someone over yet."

"But there is also a possibility that Wei Jing'an not only sent someone, but also got in touch with Wei Lingran, but he was not discovered by our people."

"That's a little bit wrong."

"I came to you today just to ask you to help me keep an eye on Wei Lingran."

"With your strength, and the training you received in the Dragon Shadow Guard, it couldn't be more suitable."

"For the sake of secrecy, you act alone and do not contact anyone."

"If you find anything, you can report it to me directly."

"If you really have an emergency and you don't have time to report it, you can make your own decisions."

"Later, you will go to Gao Wancheng and get some signals for help."

"If Wei Lingran has an abnormal movement, and you can't cope with it alone, you will release the signal for help, and someone will naturally support you."

"And I will lay a net around the Proton Mansion, even if someone comes to save him, I will be caught in the net."

Speaking of this, Li Tianrun took out a map and handed it to Lu Fan, "This is the map of Proton Mansion, the personnel arrangements in the mansion, and the layout of each sentry post have detailed signs. ”

"Yes."

Lu Fan took the map and said loudly.

He knew that the reason why Li Tianrun was looking for him was just to be more at ease.

Even without him, a net had already been laid around the Proton Mansion, making it impossible for Wei Lingran to escape.

At the same time, he hoped that he could find out the person who was secretly in contact with Wei Lingran and capture him.

That's his most important task.

"Alright, without further ado, you can go."

Li Tianrun instructed: "You can arrange the time by yourself, and you can also set the specific strategy by yourself, so I won't interfere too much." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured."

Lu Fan got up and said, "Weichen will not fail in his mission!" ”

"Well, go ahead."

Li Tianrun nodded with satisfaction.

……

……

Leaving the imperial study, Lu Fan went to Gao Wancheng to get a signal for help, and then returned to his house.

After explaining a few words to the housekeeper and Zhiqing, Lu Fan changed into civilian clothes, quietly slipped out of the Lu Mansion, sneaked all the way, and found the Proton Mansion.

The Proton Mansion is also in the Imperial City, and it is not far from the Lu Mansion.

Lu Fan hid in the dark, carefully observing this proton mansion.

The terrain is flat, there are no mountains, no water, and there are no other homes around.

A lonely proton mansion, surrounded by big trees in addition to wild grass.

There's someone in the tree!

And more than one person.

Lu Fan did not appear, but hid in the shadows, trying to find out those bright posts and secret posts, and compare them with the marks on the map.

He knew that these were all people sent by the emperor to spy on Wei Lingran, but he also had to hide it so that these people could not discover his existence.

Soon he found a place to hide.

It was also a big tree, far away from the Proton Mansion, and far away from those bright posts and secret posts.

But the tree is taller, leafy, and hides in the tree, making it difficult to be spotted.

Lu Fan jumped onto the tree and came to the top of the tree, from which he could see the situation of the Proton Mansion somewhat.

It was farther away, but with his sight and hearing, it was enough.

That's it.

Lu Fan decided to stay here for a few days to observe and see the situation before making the next decision.

Don't delay his practice on the tree.

With his current senses and powerful spiritual power, even if he was cultivating, any disturbance around the Proton Mansion would not be able to hide from him.

Besides, this place is not far from the Lu Mansion, so he can go back to eat.

For him, the mission was not too arduous.

As long as you don't delay eating and practicing, you can do it.

He can endure anything else.

A few days after that.

Lu Fan had been guarding outside the Proton Mansion, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

No one has ever come to look for Wei Lingran at all, and even Wei Lingran has never gone out.

Why don't you sneak into Proton Mansion and have a look?

Lu Fan decided to change his strategy.

At present, it seems that it is of little use to stay here.

It's better to go into the house and find out.

It was just through his observation in the past few days that he had basically figured out the people inside and outside the Proton Mansion.

Coupled with that map, he knew the situation in Proton Mansion very well.

In addition to Wei Lingran, there are two little maids, an attendant and a coachman, plus three women, who are responsible for taking care of Wei Lingran's daily life.

The rest were the soldiers who were responsible for protecting Wei Lingran.

Minggang has fifty soldiers, ten in a wave, five times a day.

They all stand guard in a fixed place.

In addition, there are several secret posts in the mansion, which are responsible for monitoring Wei Lingran.

Every day at a fixed time, the guard will be changed.

Just do it!

That night, with the help of the night, Lu Fan quietly sneaked into the Proton Mansion.

He came to the roof of the room where Wei Lingran lived, hid it, and listened to the movement inside.

Wei Lingran was drinking alone.

When I got a little drunk, I went to sleep.

Nothing happened.

Didn't even say a word.

Lu Fan stayed on guard for a few days in a row, but found nothing.

Eventually, he gave up.

It doesn't work either.

What to do?

Lu Fan fell into deep thought.

He decided to think differently.

If he wanted to save Wei Lingran, what should he do in order to bring Wei Lingran back to Wei from Great Zhou?

First of all, we must find a way to contact Wei Lingran and communicate the rescue method, time, place, and so on.

If you want to hide all the eyeliner and enter the Proton Mansion, it's not that you can't do it.

But to meet Wei Lingran in the Proton Mansion and have the opportunity to conspire a few words, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Therefore, if you want to contact Wei Lingran, the best way is to wait for Wei Lingran to go shopping.

In public, there may be no way to speak.

But what about in the store?

There's still a chance.

And, perhaps, there is no need to speak, just a note to be passed on.

Write the relevant information on the note, after Wei Lingran returned to the Proton Mansion, he could easily find an opportunity to read this note.

Maybe Wei Lingran had already received the news from Wei Guo last time he went out, and determined the rescue method.

Just have to wait for time.

Lu Fan sorted out some clues and continued to think about it.

How can Wei Lingran be rescued?

It's definitely not okay to rob openly.

After all, this is the capital of the Great Zhou, no matter how many masters the Wei State sends, it is useless.

Then it can only be a trick.

Golden cicada shelling?

Through the opportunity to enter the Proton Mansion, find someone who is about the same size and appearance as Wei Lingran, and exchange Wei Lingran out?

Hard!

In the past few days, Lu Fan has been observing the Proton Mansion, and no one has come except for a carriage that will deliver vegetables every few days.

And the person who delivered the food was just a person, and he was still an old man.

Whether it is body shape or appearance, it is very far from Wei Lingran.

Every time the carriage enters and leaves the Proton Mansion, it will be strictly inspected by the soldiers guarding the door, and it is impossible to hide it from the eyes of the soldiers.

What's more, this carriage was deliberately arranged by Da Zhou, and it was difficult to be bought.

Besides, there are people who are staring at this carriage specifically.

Therefore, this method is not feasible and can almost be ruled out.

What else can be done?

Secret passages?

Lu Fan suddenly thought of a possibility, and his eyes lit up.

If you can dig a secret passage that leads directly to Proton Mansion, and then lead the secret passage to the outside of the city, it is really possible for Wei Lingran to escape.

But it will take a long time.

Wrong.

Maybe the secret passage has already been dug up?

After all, Wei Jing'an returned to Wei a few years ago, and maybe he had already started planning to rescue Wei Lingran.

Not right either.

If the secret passage had already been dug, Wei Lingran would have run away a long time ago.

That's digging?

If you're digging, there's definitely something to follow.

Lu Fan thought of this possibility and decided to start from this aspect and carefully investigate around the Proton Mansion.

For several days in a row, he probed from several directions.

The main thing is to listen.

If someone dug a secret tunnel in the nearby underground, he could still hear it with his hearing.

But nothing was gained.

He even sneaked into the Proton Mansion a few more times, and deliberately searched Wei Lingran's bedroom, but still didn't find it.

It's hard to understand if there is any other way to save Wei Lingran out?

Lu Fan fell into deep thought again.

That's right.

Will Wei Lingran find a way to escape while he is out?

It doesn't seem to work either.

With so many pairs of eyes staring at Wei Lingran, how could he run?

Where can you run?

Hey?

Lu Fan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a possibility.

What if the entrance to the secret passage was located somewhere else?

For example, Fengming Street.

It was very busy, especially during the day, and it was extremely noisy, and even if someone dug a secret passage underground, the sound would be muffled.

Moreover, compared to the layers of guards in the Proton Mansion, no one cares about Fengming Street at all.

The security is much higher.

After all, the surrounding area of Proton Mansion is all wilderness, and if you really want to dig a secret passage, it will be easy for people to find out, and then all your efforts will be wasted.

It's completely different elsewhere.

The only difficulty is how Wei Lingran entered the secret passage?

Definitely through the opportunity to go out.

Maybe the last time Wei Lingran went to Fengming Street, he was stepping on the spot, or tempting.

There may only be one chance, Wei Lingran will be extremely cautious, and only after ensuring that nothing goes wrong can he choose to escape from Da Zhou.

Before that, there should be a continuous trial, and it will be regarded as a drill.

You can identify those omissions, make improvements, and when the action begins, you can be sure that nothing goes wrong.

You can also take the opportunity of temptation to confuse your opponent.

Lu Fan finally sorted it out.

There was no way for Wei Lingran to escape from the Proton Mansion, so he could only look for opportunities by going out, and Lu Fan only had to keep an eye on Wei Lingran when he was out.

That's it.

I can finally practice with peace of mind.

……

……

Another three days passed

On the morning of the sixth day of the seventh month, Lu Fan woke up from his meditation and opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 17/1120

Power: 193.37

Dexterity: 67.41

Mental Power: 66.52

Physical strength: 209.96

Cultivation is: three products

Exercises: Vientiane Demon Suppression Skill Consummation, the Eighth Level of the Tao Sutra (3385/20000)

Martial arts: The six imperial gods are perfect, the thousands of hammers are perfect, the gods and demons are perfect, the nine turns of the golden body are perfect, the body of ten thousand is perfect, and the heart is perfect

Assignable stat points: 61.98

These days, he has not delayed his cultivation, and the Gongfa Dao Sutra is steadily improving.

Practicing the heart is even more cultivated to perfection, increasing strength by 8 points, agility by 2 points, mental power by 2 points, and physical strength by 16 points.

Now that he has become stronger, his physical body has become stronger, especially the improvement of his internal organs, which is more obvious.

Presumably, this is the effect of refining the mind.

Refining skin, refining meat, refining bones, refining tendons, refining blood, and then refining the heart.

Lu Fan has no weakness in his whole body.

One step closer to the immortal body.

And his current real strength is equivalent to a peak powerhouse.

It is still the pinnacle of invincible flesh.

In other words, in the realm of Yipin, no one can threaten him.

No one is even his opponent.

The next goal is to transcend the innate realm!

Go on!

Lu Fan closed his eyes and re-entered the cultivation state.

He was going to wait until noon before going to the palace to exchange for a new alchemy.

After recent observations, he knew that Wei Lingran would take a break after lunch.

This has been the case every day for ten days.

Since it is a law, it will not be easily broken.

Especially Wei Lingran.

Otherwise, it will definitely attract suspicion.

At this critical time, presumably Wei Lingran would not take such a big risk.

Therefore, Lu Fan can go back to lunch with peace of mind, and exchange for a new alchemy by the way.

"Whew-suck!"

Lu Fan used the Dao Sutra exercises, and as he inhaled, the spiritual energy around him was instantly absorbed into his body, and after a week of operation, it was transformed into his own spiritual power.

The turbidity is exhaled.

At the same time, the aura around him was surging wildly.

This is where the higher-order exercises come in.

Especially in the case that the aura is not as good as before, the quality of the exercises directly determines the upper limit of a person's cultivation.

"Whew-suck!"

As he breathed, the spiritual power in Lu Fan's body increased little by little.

I don't know how long it took.

Lu Fan heard a commotion below, opened his eyes, and saw a carriage parked in front of the Proton Mansion.

Wei Lingran and his entourage got into the carriage, and the two little maids stood at the door, waving to each other.

"Drive!"

The coachman waved his whip down, and the carriage galloped away.

Is this going out?

Is there action today?

Lu Fan suddenly came to his senses.

However, he did not rush to chase after him, but waited for a while, and only after a dozen men followed the carriage did he chase after it.

Fung Ming Street.

It's still buzzing.

Wei Lingran and his entourage got off the carriage on the street, seemingly wandering aimlessly.

But the two of them will enter the shops along the street from time to time, and stay in the shops for longer or shorter periods of time.

Lu Fan was vigilant in his heart.

Could it be that the authentic is hidden in one of the stores?

It's a possibility.

He followed Wei Lingran from a distance, and suddenly remembered Wu Lingzhao, why did that little girl follow Wei Lingran?

Could it be that he also wants to find someone who connects with Wei Lingran?

Isn't that right?

Wu Lingzhao doesn't do anything for the imperial court, why should he get involved?

Or is there something else between her and Wei Lingran?

Or is there another reason?

Lu Fan couldn't figure it out.

He searched around, but he didn't see Wu Lingzhao's figure, nor did he see the two teenagers who were with Wu Lingzhao.

He has been busy recently, and he hasn't met Liu Zhi, otherwise he can ask Liu Zhi.

Forget it, don't care about Wu Lingzhao for now.

Lu Fan shifted his mind back to Wei Lingran.

Watching Wei Lingran go in and out of several stores, he counted the time.

Up to half an hour.

From the street to the end of the street, Wei Lingran turned around, and it was almost noon.

Then Wei Lingran entered a restaurant, and in the lobby on the first floor, he ordered a table of dishes, and sat down to eat and drink.

And next to the window, in a very obvious position, it seems to be deliberately trying to be seen.

Lu Fan bought some food on the street and stared at Wei Lingran from afar.

Don't delay eating.

And he's going to eat well.

Kebabs, then whole roast chicken, a few meat buns, two hooves, big elbows, and a bowl of noodles.

I was half full.

Then he asked for a few catties of beef in sauce, a bowl of mutton soup, and a few biscuits.

Only then did he eat and drink to his heart's content.

Open the properties panel and see that the assignable properties have been increased by 0.6.

Not bad.

It's not as good as at home, but it's not much worse.

After Lu Fan finished eating, Wei Lingran also finished eating.

Coming out of the restaurant, Wei Lingran got into the carriage directly and returned to the Proton Mansion.

Following this, Lu Fan knew that Wei Lingran was going to take a lunch break.

He took the time to go to the palace in exchange for a new alchemy book, "King Kong Is Not Bad".

came back again, Lu Fan climbed to the tree, took out "King Kong is Not Bad", started from the beginning, and looked through it carefully.

After a while, he put the exercises away, sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and entered the cultivation state.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon.

There was movement outside the Proton Mansion again.

Looking at the carriage parked outside the mansion, Lu Fan thought to himself that Wei Lingran was going out again?

Could it be that the action is scheduled for the afternoon?

He picked himself up again and quietly followed the carriage into Fengming Street.

Different from the morning stroll, Wei Lingran went straight to the hook fence.

Lu Fan also secretly blended into the hook bar, and saw Wei Lingran sitting in the front row, looking quite enjoyable, and shouting from time to time.

After listening to the song, Wei Lingran entered a teahouse, drank a few cups of tea, and then went to the rouge shop and bought several kinds of rouge.

It took more than half an hour.

Especially in the rouge shop, Wei Lingran actually entered the inner room, and Lu Fan almost rushed in to see what was going on.

But when he thought that Wei Lingran had seen him before, he still held back.

You can't startle the snake.

He gave himself an hour.

Even if Wei Lingran entered the secret passage, within an hour, Lu Fan would have the confidence to catch up with the other party and capture him back.

After all, it's quite far from the outside of the city, and the secret passage is difficult.

Moreover, Wei Lingran's strength is average, it is said that he is only a mere five grades, and it is not so easy to escape Lu Fan's tracking.

Coming out of the rouge shop, Wei Lingran entered a green building again.

This time it took a little longer, nearly an hour before it came out.

Soon it was evening.

Wei Lingran returned to the Proton Mansion and went to bed early.

……

……

Three days later.

Morning.

Wei Lingran went out again and came to Fengming Street.

It's pretty much the same as last time.

With his retinue, he wandered the streets.

Come in from time to time to take a look, and stay longer or shorter.

Near noon, he entered another restaurant, and after eating and drinking, he returned to Proton Mansion.

In the afternoon, Wei Lingran came to Fengming Street again.

This time, he changed to a hook bar to listen to music, and the teahouse he went to was different from last time.

After drinking tea, he went to another rouge shop, which was different from the last one.

Still in the inner room.

Seeing this, Lu Fan thought to himself that this person was really cunning, and he went to a different store every time.

Even if others are suspicious, it is impossible to search every store.

Besides, even if you search, you can't find anything.

Because every time Wei Lingran went to the store, it was just to confuse others.

Until the last moment, he will not go to his real destination.

When he actually goes, it means that he is going to run.

Half an hour later.

Wei Lingran hasn't come out yet.

Lu Fan quietly slipped onto the roof, lay down, and listened to the movement inside.

There are a few female customers who are buying rouge and chattering.

The guys in the store are helping to introduce them.

There was no voice from Wei Lingran.

It can't be right here, right?

Lu Fan had a premonition in his heart.

But it was just a hunch, and from Wei Lingran's actions, there was not the slightest abnormality.

If he goes down now, if he doesn't, he will be startled.

Wei Lingran will be more cautious in the future, and his mission will be regarded as a failure.

It will even leave the other party with the truth.

After all, all surveillance is carried out covertly and cannot be put on the surface.

No matter what, Wei Lingran is also the prince of Wei State, and it is impossible for Li Tianrun to imprison the other party like a prisoner.

Especially if the other party is not at fault.

Li Tianrun wants to show his bearing as the monarch of a great country.

Wei Lingran was allowed to go out on the streets and move freely.

This requires Lu Fan to master a good degree, not to let the other party run away, but also not to appear rashly and startle the snake.

Then wait a little longer.

Lu Fan wasn't quite sure if Wei Lingran was really taking the opportunity to escape.

Time passed little by little, and Lu Fan's heart was sinking little by little.

Seeing that it had been almost an hour since Wei Lingran had entered, Lu Fan didn't want to wait any longer.

He slipped down from the roof and walked briskly into the rouge shop, his eyes glancing around.

There were three guys in the store, plus four female customers.

are all busy, and no one cares about Lu Fan.

A door opened at the counter, which was closed at this point, and there was a faint sound of talking from inside.

Lu Fan listened carefully, it was all short gossip from parents.

It wasn't Wei Lingran's voice.

Rather, it was two young men.

That's not right!

Lu Fan didn't stay any longer and walked quickly towards the counter.

"What do you want, sir?"

A fellow caught a glimpse of him and greeted him with a smile.

"I'm looking for someone."

Lu Fan pointed to the door inside the counter, "There are my acquaintances there." ”

"You're talking about Wei Gongzi, right?"

The guy smiled, "Wei Gongzi has instructed, if anyone looks for him, just wait outside for a while, he will come out soon." ”

"No need."

Lu Fan didn't stop, and went directly to the counter, "I'll just go in and find him." ”

"Childe, you can't go in!"

The three guys stood in front of Lu Fan at the same time, blocking the way.

"Get out!"

Lu Fan snorted lightly, and was about to break in.

At this moment, Lu Fan suddenly felt a chill behind him.

Several knives appeared behind him abruptly, silently.

"Huh!"

The black sword light lit up.

The Kunwu knife was already in Lu Fan's hand, and with a slight wave of it, his flesh and blood suddenly splashed.

The person who attacked him didn't let out a scream, and he fell to the ground.

It was the four women.

"Huh!"

The sword light lit up again.

The three guys raised their knives at the same time and slashed at Lu Fan.

Lu Fan swung his knife again.

"Poof!"

There was a muffled sound.

All three guys fell to the ground at the same time.

Lu Fan had completely determined that this rouge shop was an intelligence point in the Wei State.

These seven people just now were the people of Great Wei, and they were responsible for picking up Wei Lingran to leave.

If nothing else, Wei Lingran was no longer in the rouge shop, but on the way out of the city.

didn't have time to think about it, Lu Fan slashed out.

"Boom!"

He slashed the door and sawdust flying.

Lu Fan stepped into the inner room.

"Huh!"

Two cold rays flashed, one left and one right, slashing towards Lu Fan.
