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

"Your Majesty, it's not over yet. Hold on a little longer."

As Lin Yi spoke, he helped Huangfu Qingling up.

"Everyone, I can't promise anything. If you can eliminate these traitors outside, I will give you an extra reward."

Huangfu Qingling cheered up a little, "As for the army, Lin Yi will provide you with better equipment in the future."

Having said that, Lin Yi actually does have something better.

If it weren't for Hao Zhong's mess, Lin Yi should have completed the construction of the port and started to renovate the shipyard.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. All the new soldiers are loyal to Dayong and to Your Majesty."

How could Yu Jin not know what these soldiers were thinking?

Treating shooting as a game, I wonder how happy they must be with Lin Yi’s new invention!

Moreover, Yu Jin plans to transform all soldiers into soldiers who can shoot with muskets at long range and fight with swords and spears in the future.

These aces are actually pioneers.

"Your Majesty, let's wait until we destroy the rebels!"

The soldiers were ready.

"If they don't attack, I guess they're going to use fire."

Lin Yi judged, "They are probably preparing firewood at this time."

"So, if we charge out now, we'll just be slaughtering pigs!"

Yu Jin's mouth corners slightly raised.

"But aren't you new soldiers only able to use muskets?"

Huangfu Qingling was a little confused.

She remembered that among all of Lin Yi's equipment, the most powerful one was the musket.

Without a musket, it would be hard to fight those soldiers...

"Everyone, load your guns and prepare to charge. The rear rank should not use fragmentation muskets to prevent accidental injuries."

As Lin Yi spoke, he directly handed the musket to Huangfu Qingling, and then took the musket from Yu Jin.

"Your Majesty, after this battle, the palace must be properly renovated."

After Lin Yi said this, he heard Yu Jin roar, "Open the door, kill!"

Yu Jin was the first to kick the door open and rush out.

Just as Lin Yi judged, Chen Yue's soldiers were all carrying firewood.

I guess they thought we were planning to hide in the study and defend ourselves.

The root cause was probably that Chen Yue felt that the soldiers under Lin Yi's command could only use muskets and were not good at close combat.

But he was fundamentally wrong.

"boom!"

After Yu Jin fired a shot from the short-barreled musket in his hand, the flying broken iron fragments directly killed and injured a large number of soldiers.

Although only two or three fell to the ground, all the soldiers in front of Yu Jin were injured.

Yu Jin is middle-aged, but his fighting ability is still at its peak.

With a sword and a shield, he charged into the group of soldiers.

The soldiers behind him, after quickly firing a shot from their muskets, put on their bayonets and rushed in.

Chen Yue's rebels, who were still blinded after being shot by muskets, were hit hard by the close combat of these 300 new soldiers.

In an instant, most of the troops retreated again.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Lijie immediately took advantage of the chaos to slip away.

He walked all the way to Sima Gate and met Tiemu and Mengge.

"Why are you going to lose?"

Tiemu sneered and had no intention of letting him go.

"Here's five hundred taels. Just let me go, and then you can say I'm dead!"

Zhao Lijie took out five hundred taels of silver without saying a word.

"Tsk... Actually, we Xiongnu also need some Han people. Why don't you come with us?"

"That's the best!"

When he heard Tiemu's proposal, he immediately agreed.

He immediately changed into the clothes and equipment of the Hun soldiers.

On the main battlefield, gunshots rang out everywhere, and the huge space between the study and the main hall, which looked like a square, was filled with soldiers fighting each other.

Although Lin Yi was watching the show from the back, Huangfu Qingling rushed in with a musket and fired.

After a flurry of killing, the new army wiped out all of Chen Yue's remaining fighting soldiers with an alarmingly low casualty ratio.

Chen Yue was captured alive.

Although some soldiers of the new army were injured, after the war they took out medicine from their backpacks to bandage and treat each other urgently. After a series of operations, almost no one was seriously injured and unable to walk.

Three hundred new troops wiped out more than 3,000 rebels of Chen Yue with zero casualties!

"Chen Yue, do you have anything else to say?"

Huangfu Qingling said this and slowly walked forward.

"Humph, if it weren't for Lin Yi, you would have died long ago!"

Even when death was imminent, Chen Yue was still making harsh remarks.

But these harsh words were his last.

"Chen Yue refused to repent, acted tyrannically, and plotted rebellion."

"I shall be punished according to law!"

Huangfu Qingling said this while holding a loaded musket against his head.

"boom!"

After one shot, all the rebels were killed.

After Chen Yue fell in a pool of blood, Huangfu Qingling suddenly lost all strength and collapsed.

Her heart could no longer bear it.

"General Yu, you take care of the aftermath first, then call those two Huns over."

Lin Yi said this as he helped Huangfu Qingling back to the study.

The door closed again, and Huangfu Qingling sat on the chair leaning against Lin Yi.

Her eyes were a little moist.

"Lin Yi, I'm sorry... I... It's my fault..."

She murmured to herself, hating herself for listening to Hao Zhong and letting Lin Yi return to Liangzhou City?

If Lin Yi really returned to Liangzhou City, Prince Qing left, and Yu Jin was demoted, he would be truly isolated and helpless!

"If I'm wrong, it's mine."

Lin Yi sighed slowly and looked at the body of Hao Zhong that had not yet been cleaned up. "If I hadn't failed to see clearly and condoned Hao Zhong, how could such a thing have happened?"

To be honest, Hao Zhong hid it too well, and I almost couldn't figure out his step-by-step plan.

Especially the trick of "self-destruction" with Huangfu Qingling at that time, Lin Yi couldn't think of it anyway.

However, Hao Zhong has already met me in the next life, so there won’t be any more messy things like this.

"Lin Yi, you should be my prime minister. I will agree to anything you ask!"

Huangfu Qingling cried.

"At least not yet."

Lin Yi shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, do you know a word?"

“If you are in a high position in government, you worry about the people; if you are far away in the countryside, you worry about your ruler.”

He slowly said, "As long as Dayong has not developed and reached a point where I no longer need to worry about the lives of the people, I will never be the Prime Minister."

Although this was something Lin Yi made up on the spot.

But it was obvious that these words really touched Huangfu Qingling.

Only a true prime minister would say this!

"I understand. I won't force you anymore."

Huangfu Qingling's weakness was fully revealed in front of Lin Yi.

At this moment, she temporarily put down the emperor's burden and the emperor's majesty.

Just an ordinary woman leaning against Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't say much, just stayed by his side silently.

Although Huangfu Qingling wanted to say something, she was interrupted by footsteps just as she was about to speak.

This means that she has to shoulder the burden of being the emperor again.

"There are more important things to do later."

"We have to deal with those Huns."

Lin Yi's reminder also made Huangfu Qingling serious.

"I understand. There are still 10,000 Hun soldiers surrounding the palace."

"I want to hear how you deal with them."

Huangfu Qingling just asked, and Lin Yi's suggestion was just four words: Don't leave anyone behind.
