"What did you say?"
Dai Hongwen's eyes widened, and his expression instantly became agitated. "What do you mean by this?"
Qin Yi smiled and said, "It means what you understand."
Dai Hongwen's gaze suddenly became dull. Obviously, he had now realized the meaning behind Qin Yi's words.
Obviously, what Qin Yi meant was that the person he was loyal to, the emperor Lv Yuanlong, was already dead.
Only with Lv Yuanlong's death would he no longer have to continue to maintain the order and peace in the palace and prevent others from invading the position he held!
"You killed him?"
Dai Hongwen's gaze quickly calmed down. He looked at Qin Yi and asked calmly.
"Yes, I did kill him."
Qin Yi did not deny it. Instead, he admitted it very generously. "So, you want to fight with me now to avenge your emperor?"
Dai Hongwen shook his head and said, "I have no such intention."
Hearing this, Qin Yi felt a little surprised.
The other party kept saying that he was loyal to his duty. In front of Qin Yi and the others, he indeed showed an image of being willing to abide by the rules.
Now that he heard the death of the person he wanted to protect, he actually said that he had no intention of revenge?
Most importantly, looking at his appearance, it seemed that he really intended to do so. Because he was not even interested in finding out the reason why Qin Yi did it.
Could it be that there was a deviation in Qin Yi's understanding of him previously?
Could it be that the principle that Dai Hongwen adhered to was not this?
At this time, Dai Hongwen continued, "Although I am indeed a little foolishly loyal, I have always been loyal to the previous emperors. As for what the previous emperor did, what he did during his reign, and what the final outcome was, it has nothing to do with me. Because it is not within the scope of my duty. "
It was also precisely because of this that when Lv Yuanlong killed the previous useless emperor, he did not make any response.
At that time, everyone thought that he still held a grudge for what happened in the past.
But in fact, the real reason was that it was not within the scope of his duty.
After Lv Yuanlong ascended the throne, he used extremely cruel methods on all those who had been loyal to the former emperor. Almost everyone who opposed him, and even those who wanted to kill him to avenge the former Emperor, was either killed or expelled!
It was also for this reason that Dai Hongwen was able to survive and continue to serve in the palace.
However, it was also because of his inflexibility that Lv Yuanlong did not allow him to be promoted. Instead, Lv Yuanlong continued to let him stay in the position of a coach that could not be used to his full potential, allowing him to continue to muddle along.
"If that's the case, why do you insist on not letting us into the palace?"
Lv Yuanxiao gazed at Dai Hongwen and said in confusion, "You don't have anyone to protect, so you don't have to worry about the matters in the palace, right?"
Logically speaking, that was indeed the case. Wasn't the purpose of protecting the imperial palace to protect the emperor?
Now that the emperor was gone, there was no need for him to protect him.
Since that was the case, why should he continue to insist on not letting them enter the palace?
"You're wrong."
Dai Hongwen still shook his head and said, "I'm not protecting the Emperor, but the Imperial Palace! The only thing I want to protect is the palace! No matter who the Emperor is, it has nothing to do with me. "
"Haha!"
Hearing this, Qin Yi suddenly laughed out loud. "If that's the case, then you have no reason to refuse to let us in!"
Dai Hongwen frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
Qin Yi answered, "What I mean is, you're not breaking your rules by letting us in. Instead, you're abiding by your principles."
Hearing this, Dai Hongwen was a little confused again.
In his eyes, since Qin Yi had killed Lv Yuanlong and now wanted to enter the palace, it was obvious that they wanted to live in the palace and become the ruler of Jade Willow Country.
Although Lv Yuanxiao was a good candidate to be the Emperor, and Qin Yi did not look like the kind of person who liked to fight for power.
However, this did not change the fact that they were trying to usurp the throne.
Obviously, the purpose could be said to be clear. Why did Qin Yi still have the confidence to say that they entered the palace, not to make trouble, not to rebel?
"Instructor Dai, it seems like you still don't understand what Qin Yi is saying."
Lv Yuanxiao quickly understood what Qin Yi meant. "If that's the case, then let me explain it to you. You should still remember what kind of scene you saw when you walked out of the palace gate, right? "
Dai Hongwen nodded and said, "Of course I remember. Isn't it just a group of people like you, people who covet the throne and want to take advantage of the situation? That's why they surrounded the palace? "
At this point, a look of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.
It was obvious that he disapproved of these people from the bottom of his heart. They were not powerful, but they were very greedy.
However, he also knew that these two people in front of him and their companions outside were fundamentally different from these people.
He had more or less heard about Qin Yi. When they defeated Silver Snow Country and ended that hellish war, Qin Yi's contributions could not go unnoticed. Obviously, in his eyes, Qin Yi was definitely a capable person.
As for Lv Yuanxiao, before Lv Yuanlong became the emperor of Jade Willow Country, Lv Yuanxiao had the best reputation among all the princes. In order to have such a reputation, one needed not only ability, but also a good character.
On this point, Lv Yuanxiao was definitely worthy of it!
If he had not been arrested and imprisoned, Dai Hongwen believed that Lv Yuanxiao would be even more terrifying now.
Therefore, compared to those stinking bugs outside, these two people in front of him were fundamentally different.
Unfortunately, in Dai Hongwen's eyes, their behavior this time was in conflict with his duty.
Even though Qin Yi said those shocking words and Lv Yuanxiao mentioned those bastards outside, Dai Hongwen had no intention of changing his mind.
"Since you still remember, you should know what kind of dilemma you will face!"
Lv Yuanxiao said lightly. His voice was calm and did not sound threatening at all, but it made Dai Hongwen frown immediately.
"That's right!"
After a pause, Lv Yuanxiao continued to answer, "They might still be patient and bide their time. But since they dare to appear here, it means that their next step is to step into the palace! "
