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

Chapter 457 Waiting for you all night!
Upon hearing this, King Huaiyang Zhao Yu was slightly stunned and looked at Liang Jin in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement, as if he was trying to find the answer from Liang Jin's face.

These buns were obviously sent in by Liang Jin, the family outside the palace, who had painstakingly sent them in. For Zhao Yu, who was trapped in the palace like a caged beast, their importance was self-evident.

But Liang Jin asked him to think carefully, which made Zhao Yu wonder in his heart, could it be that his family members would harm him?
"What do you mean?"

Zhao Yu's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of urgency. He really couldn't understand the deep meaning of Liang Jin's words.

Liang Jin sat up straight, his back straight, and looked at Zhao Yu with a firm and burning gaze. His expression was as serious as a judge who was about to pronounce a life or death sentence. He spoke word by word:

"Because your choice will determine your fate."

Zhao Yu frowned even tighter, and the confusion on his face became more and more obvious.

But he could not ignore Liang Jin's words, even though Liang Jin was just a minor official of the imperial guards whom he would never even look at.

But now the times have changed, and his life and death all depend on this seemingly ordinary person in front of him. Zhao Yu knows very well that he should respect this person who controls his destiny.

Liang Jin gently placed the bun into Zhao Yu's palm, as gentle as if he were handling a precious treasure, and said:
"You don't have to rush to eat, you can take a look first."

Zhao Yu took the bun doubtfully, his hands trembling slightly, as if the bun weighed a thousand pounds.

He slowly broke the bun open and saw a black pill lying quietly inside the bun, with a piece of paper next to it.

Zhao Yu subconsciously glanced at Liang Jin with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Liang Jin raised his hand slightly, indicating that Zhao Yu could look freely, then he turned his back, showing an appearance of respecting Zhao Yu's privacy.

Zhao Yu immediately opened the note and saw the following words written in beautiful handwriting:

"Take the pill and you can be reborn into heaven."

In an instant, Zhao Yu felt his heart beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

Finally, the rescue operation came!
He has been waiting for this day for too long!

These days, he had to pretend to be crazy and stupid every day, starving and freezing in this cold iron cage, just to save his life from the hands of the tyrant.

Every day, he lived in fear, fearing that the tyrant emperor would suddenly remember him and issue an imperial decree ordering his execution.

That feeling of constant anxiety, like a nightmare, kept lingering in his mind.

If no one came to rescue him, he was really worried that he would be driven crazy by this endless fear!

And now, the rescue has finally begun!

After reading the contents of the note, Zhao Yu wanted to immediately swallow the black pill as the note said.

But when the pill touched his lips, he hesitated, his hand stopped in mid-air, and he did not move.

At this time, Liang Jin had also turned around. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. He stared at Zhao Yu and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, your people are ready to rescue you."

Zhao Yu's heart tightened, a hint of displeasure appeared on his face, and he asked:

"Have you secretly read the note they gave me?"

When Liang Jin heard this, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile, and said:
"If I want to watch, why should I watch secretly?"

"Your people think they are doing things in secret, but they don't know that everything they do is under my control."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, and the joints turned white from the force.

His anger was not directed at Liang Jin, but rather at his extreme disappointment with his so-called reliable subordinates.

Even a flag-master of the Imperial Guards could actually know about their plan to rescue him. This showed that those subordinates he once thought were loyal were actually just a bunch of good-for-nothings and were completely useless.

This also made Zhao Yu more skeptical about the success rate of this rescue operation.

Even Liang Jin knew about it, and God knows if there were any other people who knew about this plan.

Liang Jin continued:

"Your Highness, if you fail to escape this time, I don't need to tell you what will happen to you."

"And even if the prince does escape successfully, what will happen in the future?"

"Are we going to remain anonymous, hiding in the dark, living in constant fear of being hunted down?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu frowned tightly and a pensive expression appeared on his face.

After a while, he sighed slightly and said:

"That's better than being like a fish on a chopping block."

"If I continue to stay here, I will not survive."

Liang Jin smiled slightly, with a hint of mystery in his smile, and said:

"Your Highness has waited for so long, why not wait a little longer?"

"The world is so unpredictable right now. Maybe if I wait a little longer, I'll get a better opportunity."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he felt that Liang Jin's words were like a fairy tale and extremely absurd.

It was too absurd to say that one could get a chance by just waiting a little longer. He really couldn't believe it.

Zhao Yu immediately said in a deep voice:

"I won't hide it from you. I'm only alive today because my people bribed the factory owner."

"The factory owner took His Majesty to the new house, entertaining him day and night, making him so happy that he forgot about the existence of this king."

"But who can guarantee that His Majesty will suddenly remember me one day?"

"When the time comes, I will lose my head, and I will die without a trace of royal dignity!"

When Zhao Yu said this, an angry look appeared on his face, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.

Just because he was fat, the tyrant king called him "the Pig King" and treated him like a fat pig. He even wanted to slaughter him as the New Year pig.

As the dignified King of Huaiyang, how could he die in such a ridiculous and miserable way, only to be ridiculed by future generations?

Liang Jin still insisted:
"Persevere a little, and you will be able to turn things around."

“Even, after all the hardship comes happiness.”

Before Liang came in to see Zhao Yu, he had already thought carefully and figured out the interests involved.

He couldn't let Zhao Yu be rescued by Xue Yan and his gang!

This is of absolutely no benefit to Liang Jin.

Just as Wu Huan said at the beginning, if King Huaiyang Zhao Yu could leave the palace alive, he would return to his fiefdom.

If Liang Jin did not go to the Huaiyang King's fiefdom to seek development, then at most he would get some money from the Huaiyang King as a reward.

As for money, Liang Jin never lacked it.

Therefore, Liang Jin wants Zhao Yu to continue staying in the palace!

Only in this way, when the future emperor dies, will Zhao Yu have the opportunity to compete for the throne.

If Zhao Yu could succeed in getting the position by chance, then he would be able to bring real benefits to Liang Jin.

Liang Jin knew that it would be extremely dangerous and the chances of success would be very slim.

It's like a gamble for an entrepreneur.

The bet was won, and Zhao Yu became emperor.

If he loses the bet, Zhao Yu's entire family will die.

As for Liang Jin, he is not an entrepreneur, but an investor. What he is doing is just a high-risk, high-return investment.

In order to make this investment possible, Liang Jin did not just throw the meat bun away, but was honest with Zhao Yu enough.

Next, it depends on whether Zhao Yu is willing to be the entrepreneur and whether he is willing to accept his investment.

Zhao Yu heard this and asked:

"Liang Jin, why should I trust you?"

Liang Jin smiled and was about to speak.

at this time.

I only heard the sound of footsteps not far away. The footsteps were neat and powerful. It was obvious that a group of well-trained people were approaching.

Zhao Yu quickly returned to his silly look, drooling at the corners of his mouth and laughing.

He didn't dare let others find out that he was playing dumb.

Otherwise, this matter would definitely be reported to the tyrant emperor, making him remember him again and then slaughter him without mercy!
Liang Jin turned his head and saw a group of imperial guards coming over. They were wearing black armor, holding spears, and looked very majestic.

The leader was actually the battalion commander Xi Rong. He had a faint smile on his face, like a gentle and kind leader.

Xi Rong seemed to be passing by with a group of people. When he saw Liang Jin, he immediately waved at Liang Jin and shouted:
"Boss Liang Qi! Come here quickly!"

"Let's gather at Donghuamen. We have a mission!"

Xi Rong's voice was calm, not at all like something he was talking to a mortal enemy.

Instead, he was just a boss, giving orders in a normal tone.

Xi Rong's urging voice not only reached Liang Jin's ears, but was also heard by Zhao Yu who was standing beside him.

Liang Jin sneered in his heart.

He knew that what was coming would come.

However, he did not think of escaping. Instead, he planned to take the opportunity to settle the grudge.

Immediately, Liang Jin whispered to Zhao Yu:

"This man is Xi Rong, and he's my Shangguan Battalion Commander."

"He and I have a grudge, and tonight we will fight to the death."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he was suddenly shocked and a look of nervousness appeared in his eyes.

Of course he knew that as he was gradually forgotten by the tyrant emperor, Liang Jin, who was responsible for guarding him, had become unimportant and dispensable.

If a powerful battalion was going to kill Liang Jin, Liang Jin would have no chance to resist at all!

When Xue Yan was still alive, he told Zhao Yu about Liang Jin's background.

How can a person without any background resist the camp commander?
Now that Liang Jin is dead, who will provide Zhao Yu with food and water?
Liang Jin continued:

"It's not just him who wants to kill me tonight, but also Yi Zhouquan from Shuntian Prefecture."

"Because I killed his son Zhou Jiaze."

Having said that, Liang Jin showed a smile at the corner of his mouth, and there was a hint of ruthlessness in that smile.

He even told Zhao Yu about the crimes he had committed.

When Zhao Yu heard this, a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.

If Liang Jin was about to die as a battalion general, he would not be able to survive.

And now, there is another Shuntianfu Yi?
Zhao Yu really couldn't imagine why Liang Jin would have any reason to live?

What shocked Zhao Yu even more was that Liang Jin actually dared to kill the son of the prefect?

He was just a small soldier before today, how could he be so bold?

At this moment, Zhao Yu suddenly thought of a few days ago when Wenhua Palace was temporarily blocked, which prevented Su Lian from going to the laundry bureau.

And that day, there was suspected to be an assassin in the palace!

This gave Su Lian the opportunity to go to the laundry department.

Zhao Yu still remembers Liang Jin lying on the roof at that time...

Liang Jin's voice continued:
"Your Majesty, why don't we make a bet?"

"We're not betting on whether I can get away with it tonight."

"It's a bet. Will I die tonight, or will Xi Rong and Zhou Quan die?"

"If I don't return by dawn, I will be dead. Then, Your Highness, please leave the palace as soon as possible."

"If they die and I return alive, then please consider my suggestion carefully, Your Highness."

Now that Zhao Yu has to make a decision, Liang Jin has to show Zhao Yu some strength to let him know that he is not without investment capabilities.

After saying this, he smiled at Zhao Yu, then stood up and left with Xi Rong and other imperial guards.

He walked with ease and his back straight. He didn't look like he was going to a life-and-death battle with two powerful men. Instead, he looked like he was going to a relaxing party.

Zhao Yu looked at Liang Jin's departing back, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

He didn't think Liang Jin was lying to him.

After all, if Liang Jin won, the death of a general of the Imperial Guard and the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture would not be concealed at all.

But if Liang Jin died, Zhao Yu would undoubtedly be in a very unfavorable situation.

"He can win?!"

Zhao Yu shook his head. He really couldn't believe that Liang Jin could win this life-and-death battle.

Zhao Yu immediately took a look at the black pill in his hand, his hand trembling slightly, as if the pill had endless magic power.

He put the pill to his mouth and was about to swallow it.

however……

Even though the pill was already at his lips, he still couldn't swallow it.

His heart was conflicted and hopeful.

As Liang Jin said, if he really escaped, he would never be able to show up again and would have to live in darkness all his life, like a mouse that cannot stand the light.

But what if he didn't run away and took a gamble with Liang Jin?

"Boy, which force is standing behind you?"

Zhao Yu had already begun to suspect that there must be a powerful force behind Liang Jin supporting him.

Otherwise, he would never believe that a small soldier would dare to destroy the blockade of the imperial guards in the palace, dare to kill the son of the prefect, and even dare to fight to the death with the camp commander and the prefect.

This is not even a question of whether you dare or not, but a question of whether you can!

Finally, Zhao Yu slowly put down the pill in his hand, his eyes revealing a hint of determination, and said:

"Okay, I'll wait for you all night!"

"After one night, we'll see the results."
