Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Abao: "..."

Is this gap too big?
He couldn't help but said, "My lord, will this...will make Chu Suiliang angry?"

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Abao, you underestimate the heart of a man like Chu Suiliang who has a big heart, and you also underestimate his ambition. If he is really so narrow-minded, he won't respond to me."

"Go and tell him for now, just say, I'm walking in Chang'an with good news about him."

Seeing Shen Lian's calm expression, Ah Bao thought about it and nodded directly.

Naxin then left quickly.

Shen Lian leaned back, looked out at the blue sky through the window, and at this moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Chu Suiliang came at the right time. I was worried that I couldn't find a suitable person to go to Dali Temple to act as the eyes of the Chu Palace. Now it's all right..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly: "The last two chess pieces that Wanbang came to court are also in place."

…………

Time flies, and three days pass by in the blink of an eye.

In the past three days, the Council of Nations has not made any progress.

Although the Council of Nations was held as usual, most people remained silent. Even if they made some suggestions, they all ended up with no one responding.

This made these three days, in Ah Bao's view, a waste of time.

But my lord has a calm and indifferent face, as if he doesn't care about the wasted three days,

This made Ah Bao feel a little annoyed.

Today, this afternoon.

Today's Council of Nations has once again come to an end without any gains.

Seeing Shen Lian's complete indifference, Abao couldn't help but said, "My lord, forgive me for being redundant, why don't you speak up? This Council of Nations has obviously been fooling around these past few days, wasting time! With this time, what is wrong with adults."

Ah Bao really felt distressed that Shen Lian's time was wasted like this.

Shen Lian glanced at A Bao, and said with a smile: "What? Can't help it?"

Abao nodded sullenly.

Shen Lian suddenly laughed, and said, "That's almost it."

"What?" Abao was taken aback.

Shen Lian said: "Even you, the organizer, can't bear it anymore, so these envoys who have traveled thousands of miles to come to our Tang Dynasty must have endured to the limit."

"They came to my Datang with so much effort, not to waste time. Do you think that my time is precious, and their time is not precious?"

A Bao thought about it.

Shen Lian glanced at Abao, and said lightly: "Those who can be envoys are not simple people in this country. You can tell by their identities. Qihela is the Tubo prince and the future successor of Tubo Khan. , I have the same status as the Great Tang Prince!"

"A Guda, Prince Tie Le, it is said that Tie Le Khan is ready to appoint him as his successor! Anthony, the Prime Minister of the Great Food Kingdom, has the same status as Mr. Fang and Mr. Changsun!"

"So do you think their time is not valuable? Do you think that they will feel better if there is no progress in these three days? After all, this time the Council of Nations was promoted by them alone."

"As a result, so many days have passed, and there is no harvest. If we talk about anxiety, it can only be that they are more anxious than us."

When Ah Bao heard Shen Lian's words, his mind became much clearer.

His heart moved, and he said, "If that's the case, then why do they still..."

"Still wasting time here?
Shen Lian smiled and continued.

Abao nodded quickly.

Shen Lian chuckled, raised his head to look at the fiery red sunset in the west, and said calmly: "Because they haven't made a decision yet, have you forgotten the two paths I told you before? Which path to choose is for them , the difference is too great.”

"The impact can also be huge!"

"So, they have to take time to think about it?"

"but….…"

Shen Lian withdrew his gaze, looked at A Bao, and said, "Now you can't sit still, and they should also be reaching their limit. If I expect it to be true, they will have to make a decision in just a day or two." gone."

"Commander Shen..."

At this moment, just as Shen Lian finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.

Hearing this voice, Ah Bao suddenly turned his head to look.

Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

Then Shen Lian and the two saw an envoy standing behind them. This envoy was none other than the Great Minister Anthony of the Great Food Kingdom.

Seeing Shen Lian looking at him, Anthony smiled and said, "Commander Shen, shall we talk?"

Ah Bao seemed to understand something, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, and looked at Shen Lian in surprise.

It was really hit by my adults!
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

Shen Lian's expression did not change at all, he nodded slightly: "Of course, it is my duty to communicate with envoys in a friendly manner."

"Please!"

Anthony invited Shen Lian to his yard, Tiangang No. [-] yard!
I failed to compete with Tubo for the No. [-] courtyard before, and now I live here temporarily.

After entering the hall, Shen Lian found that there was already a person waiting in the hall.

And this person is none other than the Tubo prince Chihela.

Seeing Qihela, Abao's expression was slightly strange. Isn't Qihela and Anthony inseparable?
At this moment, how can we be together?
As if seeing Ah Bao's puzzlement, Anthony smiled and said, "It is true that His Highness Tubo and I have some conflicts over some small matters, but we still stand together when it comes to major issues."

This seems to be an explanation.

But Shen Lian knew that this was a special reminder to himself that Tubo and the Great Food Kingdom had now united.

The union of two very powerful empires in this world, you Datang, you'd better show some face.

However, Shen Lian really didn't feel the threat of the combination of the two pieces on his chessboard.

There was a sneering smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care, and said, "You two came to see me, what's your purpose, just tell me."

"I still have important things to do, so I can't stay for long."

Seeing that Shen Lian got straight to the point, Qihela and Anthony looked at each other, and then Anthony said with a smile: "We have a great deal that we want to give to Datang."

"What good thing?" Shen Lian asked.

Anthony stared at Shen Lian's dark eyes, and slowly said: "Squeeze the small country, get benefits from the small country, strengthen our strong country... Let the strong be stronger and the weak weaker, and lay the foundation of our strong country, how about it?"

…………

Two quarters later.

With enthusiasm, Anthony sent Shen Lian out of Tiangang No. [-] Courtyard.

After Shen Lian left, his smile immediately subsided, and he returned to the hall.

Qihela looked stern, and said, "Can he fall for it?"

A sinister look flashed across Anthony's eyes, and he said, "Aren't you tempted by such benefits?"

Qihela thought for a while, then nodded, and said sincerely: "Heartbeat! Devouring the interests of a small country, and you don't have to pay anything, you don't need to fight with real swords and guns, this kind of benefit is not for nothing..."

Anthony smiled and said, "That's right, you can be tempted, so how can Shen Lian not be tempted?"

"And as long as he is moved, our calculation will be completed."

He said: "Shen Lian will definitely be sure that we dare not oppress those small countries casually, and worry that the small countries will follow the Tang Dynasty, so he is self-confident but also conceited."

"And we will use his mind to get rid of those envoys with good intentions from the Tang Dynasty, and the help of the Tang Dynasty will definitely make those envoys from small countries feel extremely chilling."

"At that time, won't they still listen to us? After Datang has ruined those trusts, we will find a scapegoat, and then everything will be back on track. When we deal with Datang again, we will only rely on Shen Lian...you Do you think he can turn the world upside down?"

"He has to listen to the opinions of more than 100 countries, and he doesn't listen..."

He slapped the table: "I have to listen too!"

Qihela listened to Anthony's words, and there was a smug smile on his face.

He said: "You are really insidious. It is unlucky for Shen Lian to meet you."

Anthony said with a smile again: "Jiang is still hot, he is too young after all."

…………

Outside the station.

Ah Bao followed Shen Lian on the street.

He looked at Shen Lian, hesitant to speak many times.

"Okay, don't hold back, have something to say."

Shen Lian seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he could directly see through A Bao's mind.

Abao couldn't help but said: "My lord, do you really want to join forces with them?"

"Join us?"

Shen Lian sneered and said, "What you see is cooperation, what I see is endless murderous intentions and well-calculated traps."

"Ah?" Ah Bao was taken aback.

Shen Lian said indifferently: "If it was you, you had spent so much energy and price in scheming someone, and in the end you had two choices, one is to continue scheming against that person, and the other is to share the benefits with that person equally. If it's you... . . . what would you choose?"

"of course."

Abao said: "Of course we continue to plot against him! How can we share the benefits with him equally!"

Shen Lian shrugged and said, "That's it."

"That……."

Ah Bao couldn't help looking at Shen Lian, and said, "Then, my lord, why did you agree so happily just now!"

"If you don't agree, how can you follow the plan?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, and that smile was a little creepy.

He said: "It seems that I, Shen Lian, have such a good image these days that they dare to plot against me."

"So, how can I not help them see some hard truths?"

Shen Lian raised his eyes, looked at the last ray of light in the sky, and said meaningfully: "Ah Bao, it's getting dark, when the night is dark and the wind is high to kill people, the time... has come."

…………

The next day.

Autumn is high and fresh.

Late autumn has arrived, and the leaves are falling.

The farmers' crops are almost finished harvesting, the weather is getting colder day by day, and winter is coming soon.

One autumn rain and one cold, it rained a little last night.

Waking up this morning, the weather was a little bit colder, so Shen Lian had to change into an autumn gown.

"My lord." Ah Bao and Ali bowed to Shen Lian together.

"Ah."

Qin Wenyuan nodded and walked ahead.

After walking for a while, he turned around and spoke.

"Hurry up, start today, the real show will be staged, don't let me lose the chain."

At this moment, Shen Lian's voice came from the front.

Ah Bao and Ali looked at each other, nodded quickly, and then ran to catch up.

…………

After Shen Lian and the others arrived at the station.

Envoys from various countries have gathered in the hall.

Compared with the previous few days, after Shen Lian stepped into the hall this time, he felt a different atmosphere from before.

The envoys of some small countries looked at themselves at this moment, a little angry.

When Chihela and Anthony saw Shen Lian, they smiled and nodded to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.

Is this intentional disclosure of the news of the alliance between himself and others to the envoys of the small country who are biased towards the Tang Dynasty?

Oh, I really can't wait!

It's just how much they underestimated themselves!

If Shen Lian did this, he would definitely cover it to death.

Because once it is leaked in advance, it is very likely that the other party will notice it.

So... what made Anthony and the others feel that they were completely unaware of what they had done?
Is I so insensitive in their hearts?
Can't even tell the hostility of others?

Seeing that Qihela and Anthony were still looking at him with a smile, Shen Lian couldn't help laughing.

I was laughed out of anger!
These two idiots.

Don't know what awaits them?

Shen Lian felt that it was really necessary for him to tell them about the cases he had handled in the past few months.

Let them know how many people called the person they plotted against is the devil!
Also let them know what is waiting for them.

Even Beichen and Tianquan didn't dare to look at him with a smile like this.

They dared to...
Shen Lian couldn't help but rubbed his forehead, really ignorant and fearless!

That being the case, let's give them some color and see for a while.

Shen Lian returned the same smile.

And his smile is even brighter.

Shen Lian walked to the main seat and sat down directly.

Then, as usual, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea. As if he hadn't noticed the special atmosphere in the hall, he smiled and said, "It's been four days since the Parliament of Nations was held, but something happened on the first day. Unexpectedly, the next three days did not yield much, and this kind of efficiency is really low."

"So I hope that on the fifth day, there will be some improvement, at least some real progress. Otherwise, everyone's time is very precious, and it's really not good to just waste it like this. What do you think?"

The Tubo prince chihela laughed, nodded and said, "That's right, I also think that we must make some progress today, otherwise I will feel aggrieved."

Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, also nodded, pointing out: "There should be some changes."

"After all, things have already been done, and Shen Lian, it seems, has indeed been tricked."

"Our plan is about to succeed."

Both of them smiled brightly at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian responded with an even brighter smile.

This gave other people a feeling, as if these three people were so familiar.

The faces of the envoys of those small countries became even uglier.

Some of the envoys who had already favored Shen Lian had their eyes much colder now.
