Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

"Your Majesty, you should know best what I think."

Lin Yi slowly said, "If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

He was very calm, "If you want evidence, I have evidence too."

At this time, Lin Yi seemed to have sensed Huangfu Qingling's thoughts, but he did not like being manipulated by others.

"That's enough, you can go now."

Huangfu Qingling's face was a little disappointed. "Go back to Liangzhou City. I will come to visit when I have time."

After saying that, she waved her hand slightly and let Lin Yi leave.

"Your Majesty, Prince Qing should be leaving the capital soon. Can I leave with him?"

"I'll just stay a few days near the capital. After His Royal Highness Prince Qing leaves, I'll follow him."

Lin Yi said, glancing around.

These palace maids and eunuchs seem to be different.

It is very likely that Hao Zhong has replaced him.

"I agree, you can go."

"The common people resign."

Hearing this, Lin Yi slowly retreated and just happened to meet Hao Zhong coming in.

"Your Majesty, in..."

Seeing Lin Yi, Hao Zhong still had a smile on his face. "Lord Lin, are you leaving the capital?"

"Yes, I plan to leave with His Royal Highness Prince Qing later."

"It can be considered as going home to visit and reminisce with old friends in Liangzhou City."

As he said this, Lin Yi kept looking at Hao Zhong.

He was a talented official who kept his talents secret, but it was a pity that his talent went in the wrong direction.

Facing Hao Zhong, Lin Yi naturally pretended to be stupid and ignorant, and even spoke well of Hao Zhong.

"You've done a lot of things before, and you have good abilities."

"With you in the capital, being the prime minister shouldn't be a big problem."

"You must be a good prime minister."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he left the palace without waiting for Hao Zhong to answer.

He found an inn to stay in the capital.

Because the existing architectural planning of the capital has been basically finalized, large hotels cannot be used.

Therefore, in the previous improvements, the inn was still an inn, but some facilities and decorations were completely different.

Lin Yi sat in the room, not knowing why he felt relaxed.

Even though Hao Zhong was about to threaten Huangfu Qingling and might even do something wrong, he felt relieved instead.

After this feeling of relief, at night, Lin Yi began to feel a little worried.

In this small inn room, even if he was not alert, he could feel that someone was watching him.

Immediately, a need arose in his mind: an intelligence network.

It's not just military intelligence, even making sounds requires sufficient intelligence.

It’s just because he used to do business that no one else had, so he didn’t need much intelligence.

But in the current situation, or even in the future, if we don’t have intelligence capabilities, I’m afraid... we will fail!

People are afraid of famous pigs.

When pigs grow fat and are slaughtered, when people become famous and their business grows, they will naturally attract some people's "attention".

Then he found a pen and paper and started designing.

Fortunately, he had watched many TV dramas and movies about the Imperial Guards in his previous life, so he was able to quickly organize an intelligence network.

In fact, he has one biggest advantage, which is that he owns a large number of grassroots stores.

As long as you want, you can stuff countless intelligence personnel in there!

……

A few days later, at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Hao Zhong has been living in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several days.

At this time, he was listening to the report from his subordinates.

"How many days did he stay in the room like this?"

He stared at the person who was responsible for monitoring Lin Yi.

"Yes, he had his meals brought in and never left the room."

After hearing these answers, Hao Zhong immediately asked a series of questions in return.

"Did you see what he was doing?"

"Where are the things in his room?"

"Did he really do nothing?"

Faced with these questions, the person in charge of monitoring Lin Yi shook his head repeatedly.

"He seems to be writing a book, probably recording something."

"We can't understand the works of those writers, and we don't know what they are writing about."

After hearing these words, Hao Zhong finally relaxed a little.

"Okay, just continue monitoring."

As he spoke, he waved his hand slightly and Zhao Lijie walked in.

"Is the military camp ready?"

"If you can convince the Minister of War, you won't have to do anything."

"If you can't convince them, transfer them all away."

Hao Zhong said this and looked at Zhao Lijie.

"Everything is already being prepared, but Yu Jin doesn't seem to have shown up yet. I don't know where he is."

Zhao Lijie reported, "I suggest that we directly issue a forged imperial edict to transfer him."

"Our people are all in the south, so just transfer him to the north."

Hearing these words, Hao Zhong agreed and said, "Just take care of these things. When everything is ready, we will make the final arrangements here."

After saying that, Hao Zhong asked Zhao Lijie to leave through the back door.

Sitting in the chair, he felt relaxed all over.

He didn't expect that he could actually succeed in becoming the prime minister.

I have to thank Chen Yue for everything!

……

On Lin Yi's side, King Qing had already arrived.

Prince Qing asked Yang Jian and Huang Chang to come find Lin Yi.

Of course, all of this was under Hao Zhong's surveillance.

"Lin Yi, we are here, we can leave now."

Yang Jian and Huang Chang pushed the door open and walked in.

Lin Yi also packed his luggage and seemed to be ready to leave the capital.

"Let's go."

After saying these two short words, Lin Yi left the inn and headed towards the north of the capital.

To the north of the capital, the less than 10,000 troops brought by Prince Qing, plus the new troops he was going to take with him, were all ready for action.

Prince Qing got off the Xuanwu chariot and personally took Lin Yi to his exclusive Xuanwu chariot.

"Lin Yi, I'll set up camp and rest when we get to Beihe. You can take this opportunity to leave with Yang Jian and Huang Chang."

After getting in the car, Prince Qing said, "I really have to go back."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, then he got in the car and drove away.

According to the plan, after setting up camp with his back to the water by the Nan River, Lin Yi secretly took a boat to Lianjing Ferry.

After arriving at Lianjingdu, Lin Yi quickly entered the hotel. Chen Chong and Xu Chuan were in the lobby, while Duan Xu was recuperating upstairs.

"Chen Chong, Xu Chuan, you guys have to keep the news secret. Prince Qing in the north will help spread rumors that I'm back."

Lin Yi frowned slightly as he spoke, "Since we don't know what Hao Zhong is going to do, we can only wait."

"Can't we just kill Hao Zhong directly?"

"At worst, I can go to Yan State. Without Hao Zhong, how can they still cause trouble?"

Huang Chang was actually a little angry.

"It's not Hao Zhong's problem."

"The problem lies with Chen Yue and his group. Even without Hao Zhong, they can still pull out Zhang Zhong, Li Zhong, or Zhao Zhong before they can get to these people."

Lin Yi took a deep breath and said, "You should get ready to rest."

As he said this, Lin Yi came to Duan Xu's room upstairs.

"Duan Xu, how is your injury? I need your help with something."
