Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

In a flash, the whole person turned into a shadow and rushed directly towards the Qianniu Guards.

Because Shen Lian's speed was too fast, and these Qianniu Guards did not expect Shen Lian to dare to rush towards them, so they were all stunned for a moment.

And at the moment when they were stunned, Shen Lian clenched his fists and hit the two Qianniu Guards directly in the stomach!
boom!boom!
Two figures flew backwards with shouts.

The other Qianniu Guards were immediately shocked.

However, Shen Lian did not stop and continued to rush forward. Two Qianniu Guards slashed at him with swords, but Shen Lian did not even raise his eyelids. He slightly tilted his body and narrowly avoided the two swords.

At the same time, put your arms forward, press your hands on their heads, and use force——
boom!
There was a loud bang, and the two Qianniu Guards were hit head-on by him.

The next moment, he let go, and the two Qianniu Guards fell directly to the ground, unconscious.

Shen Lian continued to move forward.

He was very fast but moved calmly, and in the blink of an eye, the four Qianniu Guards were easily dealt with by him, without even a speck of dust getting on him.

This made these Qianniu Guards suddenly nervous.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

"Quick! Stop him!"

More Qianniu Guards stood in front of Li Shimin and rushed towards Shen Lian.

Seeing this, Shen Lian frowned slightly, as if there were too many people blocking the way.

He glanced around and suddenly saw a tree on one side.

Shen Lian's eyes moved, and he hugged the tree with both hands, and then exerted force.

Suddenly, Shen Lian, whose strength was several times greater than that of an ordinary person, gritted his teeth and pulled his arm upwards -
The ground actually began to move.

The big tree was immediately pulled upside down by Shen Lian!

This scene was truly shocking. It was a tree that was more than ten years old, and no one knew how long and deep its roots were.

Just like that, Shen Lian pulled it up very easily.

They didn't even see any beads of sweat appearing on Shen Lian's face!

What kind of power is this?

When Shen Lian pulled up this big tree, he was a little surprised.

How come it's so easy?
Was Lu Zhishen as relaxed as I was when he uprooted the weeping willow tree?

Lu Zhishen pulled out a weeping willow tree and after finishing he was as tired as a grandson.

As for Shen Lian, he didn't shed a single drop of sweat, which showed how good he was!

Shen Lian just felt relieved and didn't think much about it. After he got the tree out, he hugged the tree and rushed towards the direction where Li Shimin was.

The Qianniu Guards were shocked and rushed to stop them.

But when Shen Lian swung the tree, all the Qianniu Guards who were touched by the tree felt as if they were hit by a galloping wild bull. In an instant, they were like a sword shot from a bow and flew backwards.

Shen Lian rushed forward while swinging the big tree, and a fan-shaped gap appeared in front of him.

Those Qianniu Guards tried to stop Qin Zu by relying on their numbers, but they couldn't even touch the corner of Shen Lian's clothes and were directly blown away.

Just like that, hundreds of thousands of Niu Wei couldn't stop Shen Lian even half a step!
"Your Majesty, this thief... is too terrifying. We cannot stay here for long. Please leave quickly!"

The Qianniu Guards finally realized that Shen Lian was unstoppable, and they hurriedly spoke to Li Shimin nervously.

Li Shimin stared at Shen Lian intently, his teeth almost broken: "Hundreds of people, can't even stop a small thief, what use do I have to you!"

The Qianniu Guards all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to refute, nor could they refute, after all, the facts were right in front of them.

Li Shimin gave Shen Lian a cold look, then flicked his sleeves and left in shame and anger.

Even though he was angry, he did not lose his composure, knowing that he could not stay here for long.

"Walk?"

When Shen Lian saw Li Shimin was about to leave, he smiled inexplicably.

Suddenly, he threw the tree forward with both hands.

Under Shen Lian's terrifying power, the entire tree suddenly flew directly towards Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Qianniuwei in front subconsciously dodged.

Shen Lian stomped his feet on the ground and jumped directly onto the big tree. He flew forward with the tree and quickly approached Li Shimin.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

A Qianniu Guard noticed Dashu's arrival and shouted hurriedly.

Li Shimin was startled when he heard the voice and stopped subconsciously.

boom!
A tree fell to the ground directly in front of him.

At the same time, a sharp blade rushed out from the dust and stopped steadily on Li Shimin's neck.

When the dust cleared, Li Shimin discovered that the person who held him hostage was the thief who had just been stopped outside by hundreds of Qianniu guards!
His face was livid, and there was an unresolved annoyance in his eyes: "Thief, if you dare to touch a hair of mine, I will kill all your clans!"

Listening to Li Shimin's threat, Shen Lian sighed helplessly.

He put away his sword, spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, are you calm now? You have been plotted against, do you know that? Someone wants to use you to get rid of me, Shen Lian! I am not a fake, I am the real Shen Lian, the Shen Lian of the Chu Palace!"

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated behind Shen Lian, and the silver moonlight fell on Shen Lian, as if he had been coated with a layer of silver light.

At this time, Shen Lian put away his sword, his face was calm, but his tone was a little helpless. He looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, don't you understand yet?"

Li Shimin looked at Shen Lian in front of him in a daze, listening to the familiar voice and looking at the familiar deep eyes. At this moment, his heart suddenly moved: "You...are you really Shen Lian?"

Shen Lian shrugged and said, "If I were a thief, then Your Majesty, you would have been in trouble just now."

When Li Shimin heard this, his eyes moved.

Thinking back to what happened just now when Shen Lian pointed a knife at him, it was true... If Shen Lian in front of him wanted to kill him, he would have no way to hide and would definitely die.

So...
Li Shimin frowned slightly and stared at Shen Lian, "Are you serious?"

Shen Lian said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the Ten Thousand Nations have come to the country. This matter... My son asked me to preside over it. Have you forgotten?"

Brush it!
When Li Shimin heard Shen Lian's words, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

This was something that Li Shimin and Shen Lian discussed privately. It can be said that only Li Shimin, Shen Lian and Qin Changye knew about it.

No fourth person will know about this.

so…….
Li Shimin was completely relieved and walked straight towards Shen Lian.

"Your Majesty, be careful—"

Qianniu Guard hurriedly reminded him.

Li Shimin raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, this is the real Shen Lian, not a thief in disguise."

Qianniu Guard was still worried and stared at Shen Lian with vigilance.

Seeing this, Shen Lian chuckled and said, "It seems that if I were fake, you could defend yourself against me."

Qianniu Guards: “…….” It hurts, my Commander Shen!
The Qianniu guards were heartbroken, but they were powerless to refute.

After all, the slapping scene happened just now.

Li Shimin saw his guards turned pale by Shen Lian's words. He said angrily: "Stop bullying. Are you all arrogant because you are with Master Qin?"

Shen Lian cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, I dare not."

Then he walked towards Li Shimin.

Li Shimin walked up to Shen Lian, looked him up and down carefully, then nodded heavily and said, "It's really you! You almost killed me just now, you know that?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

At this time, because Li Shimin and Shen Lian recognized each other, the Qianniu Guards stopped fighting, and Ali and others finally breathed a sigh of relief and ran over.

Seeing the harmonious appearance of Shen Lian and Li Shimin, Xu Gou couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Sir, Your Majesty...is it...really?"

Ali's face is now full of confusion, as if he can't understand it at all.

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty is real."

"Everything you see now is real... because we have completely left the Illusion Palace."

"What? Leaving the Illusion House?"

Ali was shocked.

He immediately looked around and saw a familiar scene. He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be... Could it be that this is?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "Yes, this is the Imperial Palace Garden. We have come to the Imperial Palace from the Illusion Palace."

"How...how is this possible?"

Ali couldn't believe it at all.

He knew very well how far the Fantasy Palace was from the Imperial Palace.

So they really never thought that they would enter from the main hall of the Fantasy Mansion and run all the way to the Imperial Palace.

Shen Lian saw through the shock in the hearts of Ali and the others, and said with emotion: "Don't mention you, even I was almost deceived. Fortunately, after I saw the moon, I was mentally prepared in advance, so I didn't fall for their trick."

"Otherwise, there will be no end to this night."

"Trick, what trick?" Abao asked hurriedly.

Ali and others also looked at Shen Lian.

Including Li Shimin, they also looked at Shen Lian.

Li Shimin is now also very confused, how did Shen Lian get to the Imperial Garden?

He has no idea.

So now, except for Shen Lian, no one else has any idea what is going on.

Seeing this, Shen Lian sighed softly and said, "All of us... have been used as pawns today!"

"It's just that our chess pieces were on two non-intersecting chessboards. Just when we stepped out of the rockery, the two chessboards suddenly came together... So, before that, none of us knew the other's situation."

"Because we were not on the same chessboard, even I was almost fooled. Fortunately, I noticed everything in time at the critical moment, which prevented the person behind the scenes from succeeding."

What two chessboards?
My Lord, what is he talking about?

Abao and others looked confused.

They clearly know every word the adults say, but why can’t they understand anything when they put them together?
Shen Lian glanced at them, and seeing their confused looks, he shook his head helplessly.

He said, "Don't you understand yet? Everything we experienced in the Fantasy Palace was actually... all for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Abao asked.

Shen Lian's eyes flashed, and he said, "Let us not believe everything we see, the scenery we see, and the people we see!"

"In the Fantasy Mansion, in the Prison of Time, all the fake hills and trees are fake. This is to give us a hint in our minds so that we don't believe in all the visible scenery!"

"And in the stone chamber, the appearance of the fake Qin Ziyi will make us feel terrified and full of suspicion. We will not trust any familiar faces and will only think that they are pretending to hurt us!"

"So... we came out from behind the rockery."

Shen Lian's eyes swept across the faces of A Bao and the others, and he said calmly: "When we see this Imperial Garden, even if we are somewhat familiar with it, we dare not believe that this is the Imperial Garden, because the experience in the Illusion Mansion has already given us the hint that we should not believe in the scenery."

"Similarly, after seeing His Majesty, just as Ali said just now, because of the previous example of the fake Qin Ziyi, we will not easily believe whether His Majesty is real or not. Instead, we will preconceived that His Majesty is fake..."

"And this is the real purpose of the person behind the scenes. After we enter the palace, we don't believe that we are in the palace, and we don't believe that the Majesty we see is the real Majesty. Instead, we think that the Majesty is fake, so they want to deal with the Majesty!"

When Ali and others heard Shen Lian's words, their hands and feet suddenly became cold.

Because they found that what Shen Lian said was exactly what they had just thought in their minds.

If they had the chance, they would definitely get rid of Li Shimin as soon as possible.

Because they think...Li Shimin is fake!
And if they really killed Li Shimin...

Aliru felt like he had fallen into an icy cave, and he dared not imagine the consequences.

Even the carefree Abao was trembling at this moment.

"And this is on our chessboard...We were deceived, but if Your Majesty had not been deceived, then Your Majesty might have let us calm down."

Shen Lian continued, "So, in order for this trick to succeed, something also happened on your majesty's chessboard."

Shen Lian looked at Li Shimin, and his eyes swept over the Qianniu Guards whose knives were stained with blood. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, if I am right, tonight... Your Majesty should have been assassinated, right?"

"what?"

Abao and others were shocked.

The Qianniu Guards also looked at Shen Lian in shock.

Li Shimin's expression flashed for a moment, but he was not surprised. After all, he knew very well how terrifying Shen Lian was from what the King of Chu had said.

He nodded slightly.

Shen Lian added: "Moreover... the person who assassinated your majesty should be..."

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Shen Lian said coldly: "Wear my appearance?"

Ali and the others were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.

Senniyuu was even more shocked.

They now believe that Shen Lian has nothing to do with the assassination, and Shen Lian has never experienced that incident, so...how did he do it? It's as if he saw everything with his own eyes.

This...isn’t it horrible?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Guessed it?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and said calmly: "From the performance of the Qianniu Guards just now, it is not difficult to guess that... Your Majesty was assassinated by someone wearing my appearance, and Your Majesty must have been injured. The Qianniu Guards came here to chase those assassins, and it just so happened that..."
