Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 450 Confidentiality
Wu Huan frowned, his face full of confusion and worry. He couldn't help but pull Liang Jin to the side, as if he was afraid that others would hear their conversation.

When he walked a little further, he stopped and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Liang, you don't still think this Pig King will be able to turn things around, do you?"

"To put it bluntly, if this pig king can turn things around, it will take the sun rising from the west."

He paused slightly and continued with a firm tone:

"The Emperor has kept him locked up for so long, but he just didn't think of killing him for a while. If he ever does, the Pig King will be dead."

"What do we little guys know? If this Pig King can get out alive, why are so many high-ranking officials avoiding him?"

"Even if the sun really rises from the west and the Pig King manages to leave the palace alive, he still has to return to his fiefdom and stay there."

"For those of us serving in the capital, even if we show him the greatest favor, we can't abandon our jobs and families to seek a living in his fiefdom, right?"

Wu Huan racked his brains to figure out why Liang Jin insisted on protecting this pig king.

Seeking benefits?
The princes and the imperial guards are not in the same system. A prince like Zhao Yu who is suspected by the emperor cannot help in promotion and may even have a counterproductive effect.

Money can be obtained from the princes.

But even if you have the life to earn money, you may not have the life to spend it.

After all, everyone in the entire palace tried to avoid Huaiyang King Zhao Yu.

Liang Jin had no chance to avoid it before, but now Wu Huan has given him the opportunity, but he just doesn't understand why Liang Jin still can't get rid of this trouble.

Liang Jin could only smile at this.

He couldn't possibly tell Wu Huan that the old emperor would pass away in two months, right?
If the emperor dies without a crown prince, the entire palace, the entire capital, and even the entire world will fall into turmoil.

In this turbulent torrent, it is already extremely difficult to gain a foothold; if you also want to protect all the people you want to protect, it is even more difficult.

If Liang Jin just wanted to protect himself with his personal strength, it would not be a problem.

But the power of an individual can never compare to the power of a collective.

If he can stand on the right side at that time, he will be able to leverage the collective momentum and strength to protect the people Liang Jin wants to protect.

King Huaiyang Zhao Yu was one of the targets chosen by Liang Jin.

If the emperor really dies one day, Zhao Yu may have the opportunity to become the spokesperson for a collective group, and Liang Jin will be able to get greater help through him.

"Wu Tou, don't ask me about this. I have my own ideas."

"Just tell me, can you do what I ask?"

Liang Jin said bluntly.

After hearing this, Wu Huan snorted in disdain, as if he was dissatisfied with Liang Jin's doubt about his ability.

He patted his chest and said in a deep voice:

"Do you really think that Brother Wu has no say in anything?"

He raised his chin slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes:
"If it's a good position, I can't guarantee it."

"As for this shabby place you're guarding right now, not to mention the worry of people robbing it, even if you give it away, no one would want it."

"You can just hold the position and spend your free time wherever you want. You can leave all the matters, big or small, to the flag officer. I'll promote that little bastard Wang Quan to be your flag officer. After all, he's one of our own and you can trust him."

"You just need to attend important occasions and show your face."

Wu Huan patted Liang Jin's shoulder, as if to reassure him.

Since Wu Huan can solve Liang Jin's problem, Liang Jin will naturally not refuse again.

He immediately said:
"Okay, Wu Tou, you can handle this matter."

When Wu Huan heard Liang Jin's agreement, his face finally lit up with joy. His smile was as brilliant as a blooming flower.

He patted Liang Jin on the shoulder and said with a wicked smile:

"Don't worry, brother, after I get promoted, you will definitely benefit from it!"

"What do we soldiers need most? Women, of course!"

He squinted his eyes, with an ambiguous look on his face:

"You have a woman now, but you can only see her once a day during your shift. You're so young and energetic, you must be unable to bear it."

"But as long as I become the bank president, I'll approve any leave you ask for!"

It is not easy to ask for leave in the Imperial Guards.

If a soldier wants to ask for leave, he has to report it through various levels. First, he has to report it to the account manager. If the account manager agrees, he has to report it to the flag chief. If the flag chief agrees, he has to report it to the bank president. Only the bank president has the final say.

Liang Jin didn’t like to ask for leave in the past. Firstly, he didn’t need to, and secondly, the bank president at the time didn’t get along with him.

If Wu Huan becomes the bank president now, Liang Jin will have a lot more freedom in the future.

Especially as the situation became increasingly turbulent, Liang Jin also had a lot of things he needed to deal with outside.

Liang Jin immediately spoke:
"Speaking of taking a leave, I really want to take a leave."

"After returning to camp tomorrow morning, I want to go out of the barracks."

"I wonder if Wu Tou could help me talk to the bank president?"

Now that Liang Jin has learned how to control the Yin Bone Puppet, he has to go to the secret room under the abandoned house tomorrow.

He had to verify it himself, and the sooner the better, to avoid any more complications.

Wu Huan assured:
"Now that that bastard Fang Qianfeng is dead, as long as we keep it a secret from Xi Rong, this will be a small matter."

"Don't worry! I know you're anxious to see your lover, so I'll definitely get it done for you!"

Wu Huan said this with a laugh, then turned and left with brisk steps, as if he had already seen the glory of himself as the bank president.

Liang Jin looked at Wu Huan's back and shook his head, then returned to his post and continued to stand guard.

The night was deeper.

The thick darkness, like ink, tightly enveloped the entire palace.

The entire palace was plunged into silence, as if time had stopped at this moment.

Only when the time comes can you hear the voice of the night watchman.

Of course there were night watchmen in the palace, but they were not allowed to use gongs and drums. They could only hold lanterns and shout with their voices.

The eunuchs in the palace who were responsible for night watch not only had to tell the time, but also had to monitor fire sources to ensure safety at night.

If anyone was found using fire in the palace without permission during the night watch, the night watchman had the right to report it immediately to the chief official to prevent a fire.

It was precisely because of this rule that Liang Jin and his group of imperial guards did not dare to light a brazier to keep warm even when they were on guard late at night in the cold winter, and could only endure it.

Fortunately, winter has passed and summer is gradually approaching, and the nights are no longer cold.

at this time.

In the iron cage, Huaiyang King Zhao Yu suddenly spoke:

"Liang Jin."

The voice was full of calmness and the tone was very normal, as if it was a different person.

Although the sound was very soft, it was loud enough for the warriors to hear.

Liang Jin turned his head and saw that Zhao Yu's eyes were now clear, without any trace of stupidity from before.

There was wisdom and calmness in his eyes, as if the true soul hidden deep inside had finally been revealed.

Liang Jin immediately walked to the front of the iron cage and squatted down, looking at Zhao Yu and smiling slightly:

"Your Majesty, are you willing to trust me now?"

There was a gentle smile in his eyes, as if he had expected this moment to come.

He had guessed before that Zhao Yu was pretending to be crazy.

However, due to Zhao Yu's distrust of Liang Jin, he never showed any normal and rational appearance in front of Liang Jin.

And now, obviously because of the meat bun and the conversation between Liang Jin and Wu Huan just now, Zhao Yu finally changed his attitude towards Liang Jin.

Zhao Yu's face, which had lost weight but was still plump, couldn't help but reveal a deep bitterness:
"These days, thanks to you for providing me with food, otherwise I would have starved to death long ago." He sighed slightly, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

"If the King is ever able to escape from this predicament, I will definitely repay your kindness."

Just now, Zhao Yu had already felt a strong sense of crisis.

In the end, Liang Jin told Wu Huan that he would continue to stand guard here.

But who knows whether Liang Jin will one day in the future be unable to resist the temptation of high positions and generous salaries and completely change his mind?

So, Zhao Yu knew that he could no longer pretend.

Liang Jin said calmly:

"The prince is joking."

Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and wanted to hold Liang Jin's hand.

But when he realized his hands were covered in dirt, he gave up the idea.

He looked at Liang Jin with his small eyes and sighed:

"Liang Jin, you should actually listen to General Wu Qi's advice and completely get rid of this troublesome person of mine."

"The Emperor is determined to kill me. It's uncertain how long I can live."

"You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you. There is really no need to ruin your future for me."

Zhao Yu looked serious and sincere.

At this moment, he was more like a benevolent elder, worrying about the future of his younger generations.

Zhao Yu paused slightly and continued:

"It's fate that we met, not to mention you've already helped me so much."

"Just go and be your flag commander and don't worry about me anymore. I don't want to be a burden to you."

He shook his head lightly, his face full of helplessness:

"If one day I really can't make it, I will never forget your help. Before I die, I will definitely find a way for my family in the capital to give you enough wealth as a reward."

After Zhao Yu finished speaking, his face was full of gratitude.

He looked at Liang Jin, sighing slightly from his nose and mouth, his eyes filled with confusion and sadness about the impermanence of the world.

Coupled with his disheveled appearance, he looked even more miserable and pitiful.

Liang Jin just looked at him quietly without saying anything.

These words from Zhao Yu were not what Liang Jin wanted to hear.

The atmosphere fell into an awkward silence.

King Huaiyang Zhao Yu seemed to have understood what Liang Jin meant.

Zhao Yu's lips moved for a while, and then he said:

"To be honest, I still hope you can stay and continue to help me."

"I also know that I don't have what you want here, otherwise my family wouldn't have been unable to satisfy you until now."

There was a hint of guilt in his eyes:
"So I can't offer you enough conditions. If you don't mind, I will open my heart to you."

"I won't hide it from you. There was a note inside the meat bun you just gave me."

"The content of the note is——"

Zhao Yu hadn't finished speaking yet.

Liang Jin interrupted:

"Your Majesty, this is not something I should know."

"Your Majesty treats me with sincerity, and I will treat Your Majesty with sincerity."

As for Huaiyang King Zhao Yu, Liang Jin had no plans to cash out immediately after investing.

The harvest he wants is in the future.

Time passed slowly, and Liang Jin's class finally ended.

When the next shift of imperial guards came to take over at dawn, Zhao Yu was still in his foolish state, as if the sober and rational him just now had never appeared.

After Liang Jin completed the handover, he joined the main force.

The imperial guards then lined up and left the palace, heading towards the Southern Imperial Guards camp.

Halfway through, the sun gradually emerged, golden light sprinkled on the earth, and the sky and the earth began to brighten.

There were more and more pedestrians on the streets in the capital, and the streets became increasingly lively and bustling with the atmosphere of life.

Although there were many pedestrians, they generally took the initiative to avoid the imperial guards and did not dare to collide with them.

suddenly!

I saw a figure running out from the crowd, with quick steps, and ran to Liang Jin's side.

As soon as the figure approached, the surrounding imperial guards immediately raised their spears and pointed them at the newcomer, releasing murderous aura as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

Liang Jin hurriedly shouted:

"One of us! Don't do anything!"

"She's my friend!"

The person who came was actually Zhao Yiyi.

Her hair was a little messy, her face showed a hint of nervousness and anticipation, and her chest was heaving slightly, as if she had been running for a long time.

As Liang Jin shouted in time, the surrounding imperial guards stopped.

Wu Huan also ran over to check. After seeing the person coming, he signaled to everyone that everything was fine and asked them to continue moving forward.

Liang Jin looked at Zhao Yiyi and asked:
"What are you here for?"

"What happened?"

At this moment, Liang Jin couldn't help but wonder if there was a problem in the underground secret room of Ma Rang's mansion, so Zhao Yiyi rushed over in time to inform him.

Zhao Yiyi took out two pancakes from his arms and stuffed them into Liang Jin's hands, his movements gentle but urgent:

"Brother Liang, this is for you!"

Her eyes were filled with tenderness and concern:
"I knew you were going this way back to the camp, and I also knew you hadn't eaten anything this morning, so I bought some sesame cakes and rushed over. Luckily, I met you."

"I've asked around, and I heard the food in the military camp is terrible. This sesame cake tastes really good."

"Brother Liang, please try it!"

It turned out that Zhao Yiyi had already run across half of the capital to deliver breakfast to Liang Jin before dawn.

Liang Jin didn't expect that Zhao Yiyi came here in such a hurry just because of this matter.

He took the pancake, which was still warm and had a woman's body fragrance.

He remembered that Zhao Yi had taken out the sesame seed bun from his arms just now, so he knew how Zhao Yi had kept the sesame seed bun warm.

Liang Jin took a bite of the pancake, walked into the imperial guards, and waved at Zhao Yiyi:

"Go back quickly. You don't have to bring me breakfast anymore."

Zhao Yiyi stood still and answered loudly:
"I'm fine. I can wait for you here every morning from now on!"

"If you don't like sesame cakes, I'll bring you steamed buns tomorrow! And porridge and fried dough sticks!"

Her voice was firm and persistent, and she stood on the street until Liang Jin's team was far away.

Her eyes were filled with reluctance and anticipation, as if she was waiting for the next meeting...
