A few days later.
Yi Lin had gathered almost all the information.
It was said that an emissary from distant Qingdu, sent by the Empress Dowager, would personally visit Jing Nan City, ostensibly for inspection, but secretly to discuss important matters with the Southern King.
This was a secret.
The citizens only knew that an important figure was coming, so they prepared in advance, saying they wanted to showcase the unique style of Jing Nan City.
The ordinary soldiers also knew an important figure from Qingdu was coming, but they were unclear about who it was exactly.
The higher-ranking officers were generally aware of the matter; they were almost all confidants of the Southern King and kept their mouths shut about it.
"There's truly no wall in the world that doesn't let the wind through."
Yi Lin, in his boredom, toyed with the "Soul-swallowing Flame" on his fingertip, contemplating how to navigate the whirlpool of this chaotic world.
