Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

"This time, the coming of all nations may determine a completely new order, and those who have no participation will have no choice but to passively accept this order under the watchful eyes of so many countries."

"And this order is jointly formulated by all participating countries. In other words, participating countries will fight for their own interests. If they do not participate... forget fighting for their own interests. It would be great if they do not get eroded by the world."

"so……"

Qin Wenyuan looked at the envoy whose face changed slightly, and said with a smile: "Are you really going to let the Persian Empire give up such an opportunity just to be used as a pawn for others?"

"I……"

The Persian envoy hesitated for a moment.

Qin Wenyuan continued, "I know that you didn't leave on your own will. Maybe someone promised you something good, or maybe you formed an alliance..."

The Persian envoy's face suddenly changed and he looked at Qin Wenyuan fiercely.

His face was full of shock. He never expected that Qin Wenyuan would know his secret.

Qin Wenyuan, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. Was this something unbelievable?
If they can't accept this kind of small inference, then the Persian envoy will definitely doubt his life, right?
He chuckled and said, "But there is no such thing as a true alliance between countries. The benefits are limited. One less country means one less competitor! You don't really believe that your alliance will gain much practical benefits for you, do you?"

"You know, if you become stronger, it won't be a good thing for them!"

"And look at the other envoys..."

The Persian envoy was completely led by Qin Wenyuan without realizing it. He didn't even think about what Qin Wenyuan said and just looked at him subconsciously.

And he himself didn't realize at all that he shouldn't have been so obedient.

Qin Wenyuan's lips curled up slightly: "These envoys just said more powerful words than the other, and their voices were louder than the other, but look, except for you Persians, who really wants to leave?"

The Persian envoy's face changed completely at this time.

Qin Wenyuan might be fooling himself.

But the actions of so many envoys will not deceive themselves!
It's true that no one moved except myself.

"Could it be...could it be..."

His eyes flickered. "Did I really fall for it? Turkic, Turkic didn't want to cooperate with me, but simply wanted to trick us away so that they could take advantage of our interests?"

Thinking of this, he immediately turned around and went back with a cold face without even asking Qin Wenyuan to say anything.

He was proud when he left, but extremely embarrassed when he returned.

When Zhao Hai saw the Persian envoy return, his tense heart finally relaxed.

And Qin Wenyuan sneered.

He whispered to himself, "The envoys from other countries are actually about to move. If you take the lead, others will definitely follow. But... I am here, and you haven't really left, so they naturally don't have time to act."

"So, Persian envoy, you've been fooled, do you know that?"

"It seems that you are really stupid!"

Qin Wenyuan was in a good mood. He smiled and swaggered into the post station under the gaze of envoys from more than seventy countries.

Qin Wenyuan and Sishe, just the two of them, walked towards the courtyard where thousands of people were standing.

With his arrival, the guards of the envoys from various countries subconsciously retreated to the sides.

Suddenly, a road leading straight ahead appeared in front of Qin Wenyuan.

When some envoys saw this scene, they couldn't help but frown. They were very dissatisfied that their guards were so timid that they took the initiative to avoid Qin Wenyuan, as if they were afraid of Qin Wenyuan.

But before they could open their mouths, Qin Wenyuan had already walked over.

His steps were steady and his expression was calm, as if this road was supposed to be here.

This made it impossible for the envoys to say anything that was on their lips.

People have already walked in. If you speak again, wouldn’t that be hindsight?

Not to mention, if Qin Wenyuan's way was really blocked at this time, it would obviously be a provocation.

In the Tang Dynasty, provoking the young generation of Tang Dynasty leaders and challenging Qin Wenyuan, the most prestigious and smartest man in the entire Tang Dynasty, is definitely not a trivial matter, and Qin Wenyuan's notoriety has also spread.

If you provoke Qin Wenyuan, you will definitely not end up well.

As for this Qin Wenyuan, they had done their homework before coming here and knew that he was very famous within the Tang Dynasty!
Moreover, as the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Whoever sticks out first at this time may suffer... Therefore... if others don't move, they won't move either.

Even though they had made some agreements before coming to the Tang Dynasty, they were not stupid enough to be used as guns like the envoys of the Persian Empire.

After all, those who can come here are only a minority, like the fools like the envoys of the Persian Empire.

Most of them are people with deep scheming minds.

Just like that, Qin Wenyuan walked up to the envoys without any surprise.

After turning around, he bowed and said with a smile: "I was busy with official duties and was delayed for some time. I was not able to welcome the envoys of various countries in time. I hope you can forgive me."

"Busy with official business?"

The Turkic prince Qihela narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Are you sure you are not busy drinking and socializing?"

Qin Wenyuan raised his eyebrows.

This is interesting to say.

It seems that the Turks had sent a lot of spies to infiltrate Chang'an long before the envoys arrived!
Otherwise, how would the Turkic prince know what he had just done?
However, Qin Wenyuan was not surprised. Chang'an has now become a place where storms gather. The arrival of so many envoys from various countries will surely stir up the world's situation.

It would be abnormal for these countries not to send spies to collect intelligence in advance.

He smiled and said, "Some official business can be handled regardless of the occasion. As the saying goes, each has his own opinion of what is good, and each has his own opinion of what is mean. That's it~."

Qihela snorted coldly and ignored Qin Wenyuan's sophistry.

"Master Qin, we have been standing here for a long time. What we want to hear now is not your explanation that we don't know whether it is true or false."

At this moment, a clear and fluent voice of the Tang Dynasty official language was heard.

Qin Wenyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was a young man of about twenty-five or twenty-six years old who spoke to him.

There was a flag behind this person, and through the flag, Qin Wenyuan recognized this person's identity.

Envoy from Nanzhao!
And the Nanzhao Kingdom...

A gleam of light flashed in Qin Wenyuan's eyes.

The information he had obtained before included things about the Nanzhao Kingdom.

It is said that the two star coders of the Beidou Society have secretly seized the Nanzhao regime and ruled the Nanzhao Kingdom.

I don't know whether this is true or not.

But there is a high probability that it should be true.

Although it is hard to believe that such a big country was secretly taken away by the thieves of Beidou Society.

But if Beichen planned it, and Tianshu and others were strong enough, it might not be impossible. At this moment.

The Nanzhao envoy looked at Qin Wenyuan and said, "What we need is an explanation... We envoys have traveled thousands of miles to Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, but the result? There is not even a place to rest. Isn't this a bit inappropriate for the Tang Dynasty?"

"I don't know whether the Tang Dynasty looks down on us and thinks there is no need to arrange accommodation for us, or whether..."

He looked at Qin Wenyuan and said meaningfully, "Lord Qin personally looked down on us and neglected to arrange these for us?"

As soon as the Nanzhao envoy finished speaking, the expressions of the envoys from other countries when they looked at Qin Wenyuan also changed.

Some people frowned, some seemed to be thinking about something, and some just became angry.

Xu Gou and Zhao Hai both looked unhappy. It was obvious that the Nanzhao envoy did this on purpose to cause trouble for Qin Wenyuan.

However, Qin Wenyuan's expression remained unchanged.

He smiled and said, "May I ask the name of the envoy from Nanzhao?"

The Nanzhao envoy bowed and said, "I am a humble person, but I am the Prime Minister of Nanzhao, Wang Chengdao."

"Wang Chengdao?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "This name is very similar to the name of my Tang people!"

Wang Chengdao said calmly: "It's just a name, just a code name, what's the difference? Does the Tang Dynasty want to deprive me of the right to name myself?"

Qin Wenyuan said with a smile: "Of course not, I just think this name is similar to a traitor who once rebelled in the Tang Dynasty, so I am a little surprised... Oh, I am not making indirect accusations, please forgive me, Lord Wang."

Wang Chengdao: “…”

I didn't realize you were making indirect accusations.

Now I know!

You might as well not explain!
Xu Gou and Zhao Hai were very happy. You deserve to be scolded for causing trouble for Lord Qin!

Qin Wenyuan's expression remained unchanged. He glanced at the envoys and said, "Lord Wang is right. You have come from afar, and our Tang Dynasty is a country of etiquette. Normally, we should arrange accommodation for you in advance."

"In fact, I have made a lot of preparations to welcome you all."

Qin Wenyuan pointed at the exquisite-looking post stations behind him and said, "To be honest, when I knew you would arrive, I personally supervised the Ministry of Works to repair the post stations. I also integrated the unique star imagery of the Tang Dynasty and carefully built the courtyards where the envoys lived. This not only allows you to live in peace, but also allows you to feel the unique cultural atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty."

"It's just that I wanted to bring you all an excellent living experience. But after it was built, I suddenly discovered something, which made me feel troubled for a while, so I didn't directly arrange for you to live in a specific courtyard."

When the envoys heard this, one of them asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Qin Wenyuan said: "In my Tang Dynasty, there is an economic record that there are 108 stars in the Big Dipper system. These 108 stars are divided into 36 Tiangang stars and 72 Disha stars, which are the stars that consolidate the Big Dipper."

"And it just so happens that there are a total of 108 countries coming to the Tang Dynasty this time, so I ordered people to repair the post station in the manner of the 108 stars of the Big Dipper."

Although it is said that all nations will come to pay tribute, there will not really be ten thousand countries coming.

Only one hundred and eight countries came to the Tang Dynasty this time.

And this includes all the countries, big and small, around the Tang Dynasty.

There is no need to mention big countries, such as the Arab-Israeli Turks.

Small countries may have a population of only a few hundred thousand people, which cannot be compared with big countries.

But because it is located between the big countries, it has survived safely.

In this way, we gathered together the 108 countries.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, there would only be dozens of countries at most.

"One hundred and eight stars...so what?" the envoy sometimes asked in confusion.

Wang Chengdao, the envoy of Nanzhao State, seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

Qin Wenyuan sighed at this time and said: "The one hundred and eight stars are divided into the thirty-six stars of the Heavenly Gang and the seventy-two stars of the Earthly Evil!"

"As we all know, the thirty-six heavenly generals and the seventy-two earthly demons have different statuses, and even their rankings within their own systems are different."

"so……"

Qin Wenyuan sighed and said, "This is where I'm in a dilemma. Tell me, who should I assign to the Thirty-Six Celestial Beings? And who should I assign to the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends? And after the assignment, how should the ranking be set?"

"So, I am waiting for everyone to come here and listen to your opinions. Who wants to live in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Gangs and who wants to live in the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends? How about you all choose for yourselves? Or you can vote?"

Qin Wenyuan sighed and expressed his troubles.

When these envoys heard this, some of them had not yet reacted, but some of them had their expressions changed instantly.

Such as the Turkic prince, the Tiele prince, the Nanzhao envoy, the Goguryeo envoy, etc.

The faces of these people changed.

Only then did they realize that Qin Wenyuan from the Tang Dynasty was such a jerk!

No wonder they didn’t get any accommodation arranged for them. It turned out they were waiting for them here!
Thirty-six Heavenly Generals and Seventy-two Earthly Fiends!
This represents status!
The envoys' residence there indicates their country's status among these 108 countries!

So, who wouldn’t want to break their heads to live in the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars?
After all, this is the only way to demonstrate the strength and status of one's country.

But there are only so many of the Thirty-Six Celestial Beings, so who will go? Who won’t go?

Not to mention, there are also rankings within the Thirty-Six Heavenly Beings!
Who wouldn't want to live in the first one?
And this...will inevitably make them want to compete with each other.

They even fought to the point of bleeding just for a place to live.

And once that happens...

Then the so-called alliance they had before coming to the Tang Dynasty would have become a complete joke!

Don’t even mention dealing with the Tang Dynasty!
Just for one place to live, they started fighting among themselves and even became enemies.

This time, Qin Wenyuan used only a place to live to ruin their plan!
This……

The Turkic prince couldn't help but look at Qin Wenyuan.

The Nanzhao envoy also narrowed his eyes and looked at Qin Wenyuan. There was no longer any relaxation in his expression, only solemnity.

This is a sinister and ruthless person!
Inside the courtyard of the post station.

All the envoys had different expressions.

Some were domineering and confident, some were frowning and worried, some were casual, and more had thoughtful looks on their faces, with flickering expressions when they looked at other envoys.

Different identities and different thoughts were fully expressed on the faces of these envoys at this moment.

Qin Wenyuan's eyes swept across their faces one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

He suddenly turned around and walked to two notice boards covered by red cloth. Then, under the puzzled gazes of all the envoys, he grabbed the red cloth on the notice board and pulled it hard.
