========

All the evidence found proved that the thin and tall man caught was Wang Shan, the head of Wujin County, Zhao Kai slapped the table heavily, glared at him angrily and said: "Since you are a public man, why do you want to monitor this king, do you also want to rebel?" ā€

Wang Shan trembled with fright and said: "I don't know that His Royal Highness is coming, because there have been two murders in Changzhou in the past two days, two caravans have been looted, and five merchants have been killed. ā€

"So you suspect that this king is a murderer?"

"I don't dare to be lowly, because the murderer is also a group of thieves, there are about fifty or sixty people, very murderous, it is rumored that it is Fang La's subordinates, and the lowly office received a tip-off that a group of horseback riders came to the post station, so they ......."

At this time, Li Yanqing next to him said: "This group of murderers should have only appeared in the past two days!" ā€

"That's true, although there are thieves in Changzhou, but at most seven or eight people are in a gang, and there have never been thieves like this fifty or sixty people, and the news has spread very quickly, and the past two days have made people all over Changzhou panic, and everyone thinks that Fang La is going to be killed."

Li Yanqing smiled at Zhao Kai again: "Does Your Highness understand?" ā€

Zhao Kai nodded, if he died in Changzhou, it would be done by Changzhou thieves or Fang La, and it had nothing to do with Zhu Mian, if Zhu Mian wanted to kill them, he would definitely not be in Suzhou, the Yangtze River or Changzhou are the most ideal places.

Li Yanqing asked Dutou Wang Shandao again: "How far is it from Wujin County?" ā€

"About thirty miles away!"

Li Yanqing asked Wang Shan to take him down, and then he suggested to Zhao Kai: "Dozens of people are just an illusion, Zhu Mian wants to deal with us, at least hundreds of people must be dispatched, they should be nearby, I suggest that you immediately go to the county seat for temporary shelter, and at the same time send people to Jiangning to mobilize the army south." ā€

Zhao Kai bowed his head and was silent, the reason why he was reluctant to mobilize the army was that once the army was used, it would inevitably break out into a fierce battle with Zhu Mian's 3,000 dead soldiers, which would bring great disasters to the people of Suzhou, which Zhao Kai did not want to see.

Li Yanqing understood his psychology, so he persuaded: "Since Zhu Mian sent someone to deal with His Highness, it means that he is ready to break the net, and it is impossible to end peacefully, although I also said that the army can not be used as much as possible, but at this time, His Highness can no longer be indecisive, if the army is not used, we will not be able to deal with Zhu Mian's 3,000 dead soldiers at all." ā€

Zhao Kai was finally persuaded by Li Yanqing, he nodded and said to Li Yanqing: "It's not safe at night now, and I will send people to Hangzhou and Xiuzhou to transfer troops after dawn." ā€

Zhao Kai immediately summoned the guards and prepared to go to Wujin County for temporary refuge, but at this moment, the guards on guard on the periphery noticed an abnormal situation, and hundreds of people were surrounding the post station from three directions.

The situation suddenly became tense, and Tang Qianzhi, the leader of the guards, ran over to Zhao Kai and said: "The situation outside is unclear, and I am considering using the defensive advantage of the post station to confront the other party, as long as we drag it until dawn, there will be people in the county to support." ā€

"No way!"

Li Yanqing categorically objected: "There are hundreds of people on the other side, and we only have thirty people, how can we resist?" It's only one shift now, and we can't delay the dawn at all! ā€

He said to Zhao Kai again: "Our advantage is to ride a horse, and we should break out while the other party is not together." ā€

Zhao Kai pondered for a moment and said to Tang Qianzhi: "From now on, everything will be arranged by Li Shaojun!" ā€

Although Tang Qianzhi was not convinced, the little prince had already given an order, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he had to reluctantly say: "Obey the order!" ā€

He asked Li Yanqing with a straight face: "Please Li Shaojun instruct!" ā€

Li Yanqing ignored his face and ordered him directly: "Call all the guards to break through immediately, only bring the necessary items, and don't bring other luggage." ā€

Tang Qianzhi hesitated and said: "It's just that the situation outside is unclear, do you want to wait for the situation to be clarified before leaving!" ā€

Li Yanqing sighed in his heart, why don't these guards have a sense of crisis?

"General Tang still doesn't understand what I mean? Our opportunity is now, when the other party surrounds us, even if we break out, we will lose a lot, don't hesitate any longer, execute it immediately! ā€

Tang Qianzhi was finally helpless, so he had to turn around and run out, "Everyone immediately get on the horse and prepare to break through!" ā€

........

In a moment, all thirty guards were assembled, Zhao Kai also turned over and got on the horse, and the eight guards protected him closely, Li Yanqing said to Qing'er behind him: "You follow me closely, you must not be reckless, remember?" ā€

Qing'er nodded, "Little official, I understand it in my heart!" ā€

Li Yanqing looked back and saw that Wang Shan, the head of the capital, was also riding a horse to break through with them, Zhao Kai put on a piece of armor and put on an eagle helmet, Tang Qianzhi stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Li Shaojun, everyone is already together!" ā€

Li Yanqing immediately shouted to the guards: "Tonight, you will either be killed, or you will break through to survive, you can't fall in love with the battle, and rush out in one go." ā€

Everyone agreed, and Li Yanqing picked ten more sturdy guards as the vanguard, and shouted, "Let's go!" ā€

The courtyard door opened, more than 30 knights rushed out, although there were only more than 30 people, but the momentum was very terrifying, everyone galloped along the official road, Li Yanqing did not use a copper bow, but an ordinary bow and arrow, and his eyes were sharply watching the situation on both sides of the official road.

Li Yanqing suddenly saw a group of black shadows on the left, he did not hesitate to open his bow and release the arrows, and the ten consecutive arrows shot without stopping.

At this time, arrows came from both sides of the guards, and instead of shooting people, they shot at the guards' horses, and the horses neighed, and the three horses were shot and rolled to the ground, overturning the guards out.

Li Yanqing shouted: "Don't throw them away, bring people with you!" ā€

Two fallen guards were rescued by their companions, and another guard was pressed under the horse, unable to get up and run, several men in black swung their knives at him, Li Yanqing shot several arrows in a row, shot the four men in black over, he rushed forward, dragged out the guard who was pressed by the horse, the guard was injured in the foot, he endured the pain, turned over Li Yanqing's horse, Li Yanqing whipped the horse violently, and galloped forward.

When the guards saw that their companions were saved, their morale was greatly boosted, and they shouted loudly, hacking to death a dozen interceptors who rushed to the official road, and everyone rushed out of the encirclement with all their might, and rushed to Wujin County, thirty miles away.

Half an hour later, everyone arrived at the gate of Wujin County, at this time, the city gate was closed, and the guards of the city had already discovered the galloping cavalry, and they rushed to the city wall.

Dutou Wang Shan stepped forward and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Jia has arrived, open the city quickly!" ā€

The guards at the head of the city did not dare to slack off, and urgently ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, at this time, Li Yanqing said to Zhao Kai: "Your Highness, please enter the city for a while, I will take a few guards to Suzhou to see the situation first." ā€

"I'm afraid it's not safe to go to Suzhou now."

"Your Highness, I'm worried that Zhu Mian will abscond with his family after discovering that the situation is not good, and we had better monitor his whereabouts."

Zhao Kai also felt that Li Yanqing was reasonable, once Zhu Mian absconded, he would not be able to explain to his father. He agreed to Li Yanqing's proposal.

The two immediately divided into two routes, Zhao Kai stayed in Wujin County for temporary refuge, and at the same time sent his henchmen to bring gold medals to ask for help from the garrisons in Hangzhou and Xiuzhou, while Li Yanqing took ten guards to continue south to Suzhou to monitor Zhu Mian's movements.

.........

The news of the failure of the robbery and killing of King Jia made Zhu Mian furious, and he sent 300 dead soldiers to surround and intercept him, but he was still escaped by the other party.

This is Zhu Mian's adventure, once successful, he can use King Jia as a hostage to bargain with Zhao Ji, he can go to the south with his wealth and escape, but now the interception failed, and Zhu Mian was pushed to the cliff all of a sudden.

Zhu Mian was pacing back and forth in the room like an ant on a hot pot, his only way out now was to escape with his family to the sea, but it was not easy to make this decision, if he did not have to do so, he would never take this road.

At this time, his father Zhu Chong walked to the door with a cane and said, "Now that the matter has happened, has my son thought of any way out?" ā€

Zhu Mian sighed, "I think about it again, it seems that there is no other way except to go to sea and flee for my life, I have had some intersections with some Nanyang businessmen in recent years, and I heard them say that there are many islands over there, we can buy an island and settle down." ā€

"In that case, what are you waiting for?"

"Just leaving his hometown like this, the child is really a little reluctant."

Zhu Chong sneered, "You can't bear the wealth you can't take away!" If you don't run away at this time, do you really expect Zhao Ji to spare your life? ā€

Since his father can let go, what else is he reluctant to do, Zhu Mian finally made up his mind to lead the whole family to the sea, and the closest place to go to sea from Suzhou is Xiuzhou Huating Port.

Huating Port is the north of today's Hangzhou Bay, three years ago Zhu Mian personally built a wharf there, and used sea ships to transport huge Taihu Lake stones to the Yellow River into Beijing by sea, but Huating Port is mainly a salt port, there are no ocean-going sea ships, if you want to go to Nanyang by boat, either go to Mingzhou, or go to Quanzhou.

Zhu Mian pondered for a long time, and finally decided to divide the army into two routes, he asked his eldest son and brother Zhu Wang to lead 2,000 dead soldiers to Mingzhou Dinghai Port to seize the sea ships, and he himself and his father and two nephews took hundreds of thousands of gold and silver to Huating Port by boat, from there they transferred ships to Mingzhou on the south shore of Hangzhou Bay to rendezvous.

That night, a fleet of more than 100 small boats, loaded with wealthy beauties and Zhu Mian's family, fled overnight in the direction of Huating County, Xiuzhou, escorted by hundreds of dead henchmen.
