025 Watchmen
"Is it possible that it wouldn't be appropriate for you to follow me out of the palace?"
Han Dongwen asked with a smile.
Li Zai looked at the palace door with a helpless smile.
The maids on both sides were already standing on both sides when he came. No wonder he knocked on the door and entered.
"Your Highness, you know that a country cannot be without a king for a day. If His Highness comes in and out of the palace so frequently, how should we decide the size of the palace? These servants will inevitably blame themselves for not serving His Highness well. Besides, Your Highness
The safety of our country is a matter of great national importance and is not a joke."
To put it nicely, wouldn’t it be troublesome for you to have to protect me when I leave the palace?
Han Dongwen rolled his eyes and said, "Li Zai, tell me, take today as an example, what decision did I make?"
Li Zai's lazily squinting eyes finally opened slightly: "...I don't know, your highness. The decision your highness made must be a national secret. I am only a retired captain, so I don't dare to guess without permission."
"snort."
Han Dongwen's face pretended to be solemn: "Safe and safe, this is my palace! The world is my world, and all the people are my people. How can anyone harm me!"
He then dusted off his sleeves and said: "If this place is not safe, how can there be a safe place in Simeng? Do you want me to call the General Director of the National Army to open the way with a large army?"
Han Dongwen may not know how to govern a country, but he is always good at criticizing others. You can learn a lot about this mischievous skill from netizens.
Li Zai was not stupid, he just sighed and said: "If His Highness is determined to leave the palace today, I can only lead my troops to escort His Highness out of the palace together."
Damn it, you still need to lead a large team of people?
Han Dongwen frowned. This situation was a bad idea. He was tired of being the puppet emperor. Finally, he had a chance, but he still wanted to leave the palace as the emperor?
He cleared his throat: "Ahem, Li Zai, as a lieutenant, do you rely on your extraordinary martial arts skills, or is it just a coincidence that you are not qualified for the position?"
Li Zai was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "I naturally relied on my martial arts skills to obtain the position of captain."
This is a proposition, but why did he ask?
"In this case, with your Poria Thorn and Leng Xinxian, you can't protect my safety?"
Han Dongwen emphasized his tone. His meaning was very clear. If you can't protect me, you are not worthy of being a captain!
Very unreasonable and illogical.
But the character is not biased!
Li Zai bit his lip lightly and said helplessly: "Since His Highness has made a decision, please be sure to allow me to accompany you."
After finishing speaking, he bowed and turned around to leave the dormitory, waiting for Han Dongwen to put on the so-called "incognito clothes".
The sky is clear, the sun is good, and the clouds are big.
However, Li Zai did not squint his eyes lazily like he usually did while basking in the sun.
His hand rested on the handle of the Poria thorn, and his index finger tapped lightly and rhythmically.
"Who is it..."
There was a hint of coldness in his slightly opened eyes.
Poria Thorn is nothing more than a short sword.
But even his closest subordinates don't know about this cold-hearted mechanism.
In everyone's eyes, Li Zai used nothing more than a short sword.
"Your Highness..."
He turned around slightly and looked at the closed palace door.
Is there something I haven't seen clearly about this mediocre emperor that I've been guarding for several years?
——————
Incognito, but also very sophisticated.
This is a dark blue long gown with finely embroidered auspicious cloud patterns on it. The hands and feet are hemmed to facilitate movement. It looks neater than the ordinary long gown. The feel of the fabric is better than that of the dragons worn in the palace.
The robe is tougher and tighter, and at certain angles, you can even see a slight reflection of metallic texture.
If you could see the attribute panel of this piece of clothing like a player, I'm afraid the defense of this piece of clothing would be much higher.
Han Dongwen thought secretly.
There were leather bands at the wrists of the clothes and long boots on the feet. Even though Han Dongwen looked like he was suffering from kidney deficiency, he seemed to stand taller in these clothes.
"Does it look good?"
He looked at the bronze mirror and happily asked Xiao Hongdou standing beside him.
The bronze mirror was no longer the one in the dormitory. The three of them were already walking on the flower street. There were always some tailors and fabric shops around that used to place large mirrors at the entrance of their shops so that others could see how beautiful their new clothes were.
Xiao Hongdou pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.
"I feel like the master has changed into a different person, and he seems to be more suitable to wear casual clothes like this."
According to Han Dongwen's teachings, she could no longer call her "His Royal Highness" outside the palace.
"Hey, call me Master."
Han Dongwen swept his hair and smiled.
Li Zai was still following the two of them casually, looking at the people in the surrounding stores as if he was bored.
Since it is a job that cannot be turned away, then try to do it well to avoid any clues again.
He is about ten steps away from the two of them. This is the best distance when guarding alone. It does not expose oneself, but can also have a panoramic view of the environment around the protected object, and is not too far away to deal with unexpected situations.
While Han Dongwen and Xiao Hongdou were talking, they walked to the teahouse.
Speaking of which, although the Simeng area in "Que Yin" adopts a Chinese style, it also incorporates many fantasy elements.
After all, if everything were real, the game would be meaningless.
In addition to the products of imagination such as spells, many subtle details have been integrated into the game's own settings.
As soon as Han Dongwen stepped into the teahouse, his eyes were drawn to the rows of tea racks. A copper lamp was hung on each wooden rack, but it was not a candle, but the same fluorite as in his dormitory.
, as long as it comes into contact with an open flame, it will shine for a long time. The light is translucent but not dazzling, making him look a little fascinated.
"Sir, what kind of tea would you like?"
During the conversation, a waiter came forward politely. He could tell at a glance that Han Dongwen was dressed unusually when he was looking at the dishes. He quickly said politely with a smile on his face.
Han Dongwen waved his hand, turned his head and asked Xiao Hongdou: "Is this the person?"
Xiaohongdou looked at this guy and shook his head.
"Earlier today, my maid took a fancy to a cake of tea from your house. She accidentally broke the tea cake while taking it. She didn't have enough money, so she paid her a jade token at your house. I'll pay for the rest.
Please ask me about the money."
Han Dongwen put his hands behind his back and was not polite. He walked forward and sat on an imperial chair.
The waiter did not dare to neglect, and quickly nodded in agreement and retreated.
Seeing that he had gone away, Han Dongwen smiled and waved to Li Zai.
"Hey, come here."
Li Zaiyuan was waiting a few steps away. Seeing Han Dongwen calling him, he shrugged helplessly and stepped forward.
"Master, oh, what are your orders, Master?"
Han Dongwen laughed and winked at him: "I will pay twenty gold dollars from your bank account and report it to the National Military Department after you return to the palace."
Li Zai twisted his mouth and said, "Young master, you are quite ruthless. My annual salary is only a hundred gold dollars, and you ask for 20% of it. If the General Secretary doesn't reimburse me later, I will be in trouble."
"
Han Dongwen was not surprised by Li Zai's attitude. As a lieutenant in the Xiu Department, he must be very aware that Han Dongwen was now being manipulated by Tantai Fu, and the two were just colleagues.
No, perhaps, Han Dongwen is a monkey raised in Tantai, and Li Zai is a cage guard, which is more appropriate.
