bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 266 Loyalty

How much power does the emperor of Simeng have?
The answer is no.

If Han Dongwen was alone, he might have no choice but to command Xiao Hongdou, or take a knife and threaten Li Zai with suicide and the Tongque Seal.

But for Simeng, Han Dongwen is the one who should have the most say. The back and forth struggle between the three divisions is not something that can be put on the bright side.

Just like the case of An Haijin back then, even if Tantai Fu prepared the Yin Country Judiciary, His Royal Highness Han Dongwen was needed as the mouthpiece to issue orders and speak out.

His right to speak, Han Dongwen, depends on what he is saying now and who is standing behind him.

Taking a mission to rescue Tilda, Fabu Wei to support the border, and Wenshu of the National Finance Department wanted the winner to take all. It can be said that he is very greedy and very dangerous.

Based on this, Han Dongwen judged that these few incidents could not be good news for either the Department of National Law or the Department of Military Affairs.

Right now, behind him, there should be Tantai father and son and the Jiang sisters for him to pretend to be powerful.

Coupled with the title of Prince Gao, Han Dongwen's waist is probably the toughest in history. If he doesn't clamp Guojinsi at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wen Shutong, an old fox, to give him another chance.

"But really let the mission leave like this?"

The group had already left from Dingfa Pavilion. Before the palace gate, Jiang Ningyun looked at Han Dongwen and asked.

Li Zai stood aside with his arms folded, as if he didn't care what they were talking about, but Han Dongwen knew very well that as many words as he heard, it was basically equivalent to Tan Taifu hearing them too.

"No, if the mission runs away, it's basically all betting on the awakening of the Grand Duke of West Asia, and the widow will continue to look at Wen Shutong's face."

Han Dongwen's face is still very ugly, the reason is because of the embroidered pouch held in the hand of a guard from the Ministry of Xiu behind him-it contains the dead Yunpo sword in it.

This thing was originally one of Han Dongwen's few reliances, but now it's broken like this, it's really...

Han Dongwen let out a long sigh, and waved his hand towards Jiang Ningyun: "It's okay, I have other arrangements for the mission, I can't let them go, and it won't be so simple to follow the wishes of the National Finance Division."

"How about His Highness..."

"Wait for Concubine Yin to tell you."

Han Dongwen didn't say any more, so Jiang Ningyun nodded.

Escorted to the front of the palace gate, the next step is the scope of the escort of the Ministry of Xiu.

She waited for Han Dongwen to lower the side curtain of the carriage, and bowed towards the carriage gradually entering the palace gate, and did not stand up again until His Highness could no longer be seen.

------

"You have meritorious escort."

During the palace car driving, Han Dongwen leaned against the side of the car and looked at Li Zai who was standing in front of him.

He still had the same lazy expression, and lowered his head slightly: "Your Highness is serious, today's accident is not an assassination, it can't be regarded as an escort, and besides, there are two chief ministers present, what the humble staff did is just useless work."

"yes……"

Han Dongwen sighed, paused for a moment, put his hand on the embroidered pouch containing the pieces of the Yunpo sword, and suddenly said:
"How much do you plan to report to Tantai about today's matter?"

Li Zai smiled: "As a humble lieutenant of the Ministry of Xiu, I am only responsible for the safety of His Royal Highness."

Han Dongwen also rarely smiled: "If you bully the king, you will be executed."

"Your Highness is joking... Well, as a lieutenant, Jun reports to the Chief Division within a day, and the Military Division has always been this rule."

Han Dongwen's face did not change, he just repeated:
"If you bully the king, you will be executed."

Li Zai paused for a moment, then slightly opened his eyes and looked at Han Dongwen: "I don't understand the humble job."

"Ok."

Han Dongwen sighed, and said eloquently: "I once had a long dream, and I couldn't understand it. How about listening to it with you?"

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The widow dreamed that the world was in turmoil, Simeng was not a country, and the rebellious people broke into the palace. The widow ran around in the dream, but they didn't see the five departments of the State Finance Department. They were all alone. Why?"

Li Zai smiled: "His Royal Highness, when people in humble positions hear about dream interpretations, they often take the opposite view. Isn't this the auspicious meaning of the dream world's peace and prosperity?"

Han Dongwen waved his hand: "Whether it's safe or not, no one can tell. As long as you think about it, why don't you see the fifth department of the State Finance Department?"

Li Zai pondered for a moment and said: "The five departments of the National Finance Department are not in charge of the palace guards. If Simeng is no longer in your highness's dream, I am afraid that the five departments of the National Finance Department have fled and dispersed."

"good."

Han Dongwen nodded: "It seems that they are indeed fleeing and dispersing, but they haven't seen the Eighth Division of the National Army Division. Why?"

Li Zai smiled wryly: "The Military Division of the State has always been loyal to the emperor and served the country. If I haven't seen it, the eight departments must have died for the country."

He answered greasy, Han Dongwen shrugged his shoulders: "In short, the unreasonable people rebelled against internal and external troubles, but there is only one person left in the palace. I will take a closer look and see that it is you, the captain of Xiubu, who is so loyal and responsible, even in a dream. , the widow is also very moved!"

Li Jae blinked, not understanding what Han Dongwen meant.

Beat yourself up or something?
"If that's the case, the humble position will definitely live up to His Highness's entrustment." Li Zai replied perfunctorily.

"You will definitely live up to it."

Han Dongwen patted Li Zai on the shoulder: "After all, as a lieutenant of Xiubu, you have the body of the Bronze Sparrow Inca, so you can rest assured."

Li Zai pondered for a long time, but did not make a sound. Han Dongwen looked at the silent and puzzled bodyguard, showing an intriguing expression of relief.

Just when the ice burst and Li Zai escorted him, Han Dongwen realized a strange thing.

Indeed, today is not considered an assassination, nor is there any danger. Li Zai's actions could not be more normal.

But what is not normal?

The original game is not normal!

If according to the original timeline of the game, the National Military Division has abandoned the mouthpiece of Lord Wen, the National Law Division Yongmin has also given up Han Dongwen, and the National Finance Division has fled...

Then why did Li Jae keep Han Dongwen in the palace?
Such a bullshit and foolish king, who doesn't have any friendship between the monarch and his ministers, why would Li Zai stand guard for the plague king when this kind of building is about to collapse, and even stand as the bottom boss?

Han Dongwen didn't want to understand it at first, but today he suddenly figured it out.

The moment the solid ice shattered, Han Dongwen thought consciously for a moment, whether someone would assassinate him, and who would do it.

He didn't rule out that Manjushri was going to assassinate, so he subconsciously didn't get close to Manjushri.

He also thought for a while before he thought it would not be Jiang Ningyun's hands, because the judicial department still needs himself.

But only Lee Jae was Han Dongwen who directly ruled out the suspicion without any hesitation.

Because of the Tongque Seal, killing Han Dongwen is equivalent to killing Li Zai.

He will not assassinate, on the contrary, he has to risk his life to protect His Highness.

The moment such thoughts were projected into Han Dongwen's mind, he suddenly remembered the timeline of the original game.

Li Zai stayed in the palace because he had to protect Han Dongwen because of the bronze sparrow seal tied?
No!

If it hadn't been for this "variable" of himself, if he hadn't violated the script of the game when he visited West Asia, the bronze bird seal should be on Zhong Lilin and has nothing to do with Li Zai.

Li Zai stayed in the palace and did not join the military commander of the country. It was definitely not to protect the plague lord Han Dongwen.

What he protected was the person who shared his life with Han Dongwen in the original timeline.

What he protected was the son of the lieutenant who hanged himself without fighting against Tantai and his son in the National Military Division, and it was his original superior and senior.

That being the case, the National Military Division may not be monolithic.
