Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Li Shimin stared at Shen Lian relentlessly, his teeth were about to be gritted: "There are hundreds of people, but even a small thief can't stop them, what use do I need you!"

The Qianniu Guards all lowered their heads in shame, not daring to refute, and also unable to refute, after all, the facts are right in front of them.

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

Even though he was angry, he didn't lose his composure, knowing that he couldn't stay here for long.

"Walk?"

Seeing that Li Shimin was about to leave, Shen Lian smiled inexplicably.

Suddenly, he threw the big tree forward with both hands.

Under Shen Lian's terrifying power, the whole big tree flew directly in the direction of Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Qianniuwei in front subconsciously dodged.

Shen Lian, on the other hand, stepped on the ground with both feet, jumped directly onto the big tree, flew forward with the big tree, and quickly approached Li Shimin.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

A Qianniuwei shouted when he noticed the big tree's arrival.

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard the sound, and subconsciously paused.

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

At the same time, a sharp blade rushed out of the dust and landed firmly on Li Shimin's neck.

After the dust disappeared, Li Shimin realized that... the person who held him hostage was the thief who had just been stopped outside by hundreds of thousands of cattle guards!
His face was ashen, and there was an inextricable annoyance in his eyes: "Thief, if you dare to touch a hair on me, I will kill your nine clans!"

Hearing Li Shimin's threat, Shen Lian sighed helplessly.

He withdrew his sharp sword, spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, are you calm now? Do you know that you have been plotted against? Someone is going to get rid of me, Shen Lian, through your hands! I am not fake, I am the real Shen Lian , Shen Lian of Chu Palace!"

The smoke and dust slowly dissipated behind Shen Lian, and the silver moonlight sprinkled on Shen Lian's body, as if coating Shen Lian with a layer of silver light.

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

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

Shen Lian shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I'm a thief, then Your Majesty, something happened to you just now."

Li Shimin's eyes moved when he heard this.

Recalling the matter of Shen Lian pointing at him just now, indeed... If Shen Lian in front of him wanted to kill him, he would have nowhere to hide, and he would definitely die.

so…….
Li Shimin frowned slightly, staring at Shen Lian, "Are you real?"

Shen Lian said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the coming of all nations, this matter... My Highness asked me to preside over it, have you forgotten?"

Brush it!
Li Shimin's eyes flashed suddenly when he heard Shen Lian's words.

This was a private discussion between Li Shimin and Shen Lian. It can be said that only Li Shimin, Shen Lian, and the king of Chu knew about it.

No fourth person will know about it.

so…….
Li Shimin was completely relieved, and he walked directly to Shen Lian.

"Your Majesty, be careful—"

Qianniuwei hastily sounded a reminder.

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

Qianniuwei was still worried, and stared at Shen Lian warily.

Seeing this, Shen Lian chuckled, and said, "It seems that if I'm a fake, you can guard against Wen Yuan."

Thousand Bull Guards: "..."

Heartbroken, my Commander Shen!
The Qianniuwei were very worried, but they were powerless to refute.

After all, the face-slapping scene happened just now.

When Li Shimin saw his guards, his face was ashen when Shen Lian said a word, he said angrily: "Stop bullying others, are you following Kuan'er, you people in Chu Palace have become arrogant."

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

Then he walked towards Li Shimin.

Li Shimin walked up to Shen Lian, took a careful look at Shen Lian up and down, then nodded heavily, and said, "It really is you! You kid, you almost killed me just now, do you know?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

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

Seeing Shen Lian and Li Shimin's peaceful appearance, Xu Gou couldn't help scratching his head, and said, "My lord, Your Majesty...is...really?"

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

Shen Lian chuckled and said, "That's right, Your Majesty is true."

"Everything you see now is real... because we have completely left the Illusory Mansion."

"What? Have you left the Illusion Mansion?"

Ali was startled.

He immediately looked around, seeing some familiar scenes, he couldn't help but say, "Could it be... Could it be this place?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "That's right, this is the Royal Garden of the Imperial Palace. We have come to the Imperial Palace from the Illusory Mansion."

"This...how is this possible?"

Ali couldn't believe it.

He knew too well how far the Huanfu was from the imperial palace.

So they really never expected that they would run all the way to the imperial palace after entering from the main hall of the Imaginary Mansion.

Shen Lian saw through the shock in the hearts of Ali and the others, and said with emotion: "Don't talk about 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 trap." trick."

"Otherwise, tonight, there is really no way to end it."

"Trick, what trick?" Ah Bao asked hastily.

Ali and the others also looked at Shen Lian.

Including Li Shimin, also looked at Shen Lian.

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

He has absolutely no idea.

So now, except for Shen Lian, no one else knew what was going on.

Seeing this, Shen Lian sighed softly, and said, "All of us, today... are treated as pawns!"

"It's just that our chess pieces are located on two disjoint chessboards. Just when we stepped out of the rockery, the two chessboards suddenly joined together... So, before that, none of us knew the situation of the other side. "

"Because I was not on the same chessboard, even I was almost deceived. 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?

Ah Bao and the others looked confused.

Obviously they know every word of the lord, but why they can't understand it at all when they are connected together?
Shen Lian glanced over them, seeing their blank little eyes, he shook his head helplessly.

He said: "Don't you understand yet? All our experiences in the Illusion Mansion are actually... all for one thing."

"What's the matter?" Panther 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 Imaginary Mansion, in the Prison of Time, the rockery and trees are all fake. This is to give us a hint in our minds, so that we don't believe all the visible scenery!"

"And in the stone room, the appearance of the fake Qin Ziyi will make us even more terrified and full of doubts, so that we don't trust any familiar faces, and only think that they are used to pretend to hurt us!"

"So... we came out of the rockery."

Shen Lian glanced over the faces of Abao and the others, and said calmly: "Seeing this imperial garden, even if it is a little familiar, I still can't believe that this is the imperial garden, because the experience of Huanfu has already given us a lot of experience. Believe what the scenery suggests."

"Similarly, after seeing His Majesty, as Ali said just now, because of the lessons learned from the fake Qin Ziyi, we will not easily believe that His Majesty is true or false. Instead, we will preconceive that His Majesty is false..."

"And this is the real purpose of the people behind the scenes. After entering 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 we want to deal with the majesty. !"

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

Because they discovered that what Shen Lian said was exactly what they had just thought in their hearts.

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

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

Ali fell into the ice cave, he dare not imagine the consequences.

Even the carefree Abao is trembling at the moment.

"And this is on our chessboard... We have been deceived, but if His Majesty has not been deceived, then His Majesty may let us calm down."

Shen Lian continued: "So, in order to make this trick succeed, something happened on His Majesty's chessboard."

Shen Lian looked at Li Shimin, and his eyes swept over the blood-stained Qianniuwei one by one. He took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, if I'm right, tonight... Your Majesty should have been assassinated." right?"

"what?"

Ah Bao and others were shocked.

The Qianniu guards also looked at Shen Lian in shock.

Li Shimin's expression flickered for a moment, but he was not surprised at all. After all, Shen Lian was so terrifying. He could not have said it more clearly through King Chu.

He nodded slightly.

Shen Lian continued: "And...the person who assassinated His Majesty should..."

A cold light flashed across his eyes, and Shen Lian said coldly, "Put on my appearance?"

Ali and the others' eyes were about to drop out of shock.

Qian Niuemon was even more shocked.

They now believed that Shen Lian had nothing to do with the assassination, and Shen Lian had never experienced that incident at all, so... How did he do it, as if he had seen everything with his own eyes.

This... is too scary, right?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said, "Guess it?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and he said calmly: "It's not difficult to guess from the performance of the Qianniu Guards just now... Your Majesty was assassinated by someone who pretended to be what I want, and His Majesty must have suffered some injuries. Ushiemon came here after chasing down those assassins, and it just so happened..."

Shen Lian paused for a moment, and said, "It just so happens that we happened to be here again, that's why the crime just happened."

"This is two chessboards put together!"

"We were psychologically hinted that His Majesty is fake! His Majesty was assassinated and thought we were fake!"

"If this is the case, it's like meeting enemies and being extremely jealous. No one will give anyone a chance to explain, and no one will explain to the thief they think...so..."

Shen Lian glanced at them, and said something that terrified Li Shimin, Ali and the others: "If I hadn't understood everything in advance, tonight... Either His Majesty died, or I really died."

In the imperial palace, in the imperial garden.

At this time, the entire imperial garden was extremely quiet.

Everyone's eyes widened and they looked at Shen Lian in shock.

After hearing Shen Lian's analysis, they were all silent.

It's just that under this silent appearance, there is the heart that sets off a stormy sea.

They really never thought that behind all the events tonight, there was such a conspiracy hidden!
Two chess games!

Two boards!

Two conspiracy calculations!

Because they were not played on the same chessboard, neither Shen Lian nor Li Shimin knew the truth behind it at first.

At last the moment they meet, the two plots merge into one.

Almost, really almost caused a catastrophe!
If Shen Lian hadn't seen through all these tricks, if Shen Lian hadn't been powerful, he could have calmed down Li Shimin directly...
Then tonight, a tragedy really happened.

Either Li Shimin died under their sword!
Either Ali and the others were killed by Qianniuwei's random knives.

Absolutely no third result!

Thinking of this, Ali and the others, and Li Shimin, couldn't help but feel lucky.

It's really too hanging.

Almost, it caused an unimaginable catastrophe!
At the same time, they also felt aggrieved, extremely aggrieved!
Especially Li Shimin.

How could he not be annoyed that, as the majestic emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the king of a country, he was being used by thieves in such a way that he almost killed Shen Lian, whom King Chu cared so much about?

He gritted his teeth and looked at Shen Lian, and said, "Shen Lian, who did this?"

Shen Lian said: "Beidouhui, Beichen."

"Beichen?"

A chill flashed across Li Shimin's eyes, and he asked, "Beichen, who is he?"

Shen Lian shook his head.

"So far, I haven't met Beichen head-on. This Beichen is more cunning and cautious than any enemy I have come into contact with before. He has a way of controlling puppets, and he almost never shows up in person."

"So... to catch him, you have to think of a perfect plan."

Li Shimin was quite surprised. The King of Chu said that Shen Lian never praised others. This is the first time he has seen Shen Lian praise an opponent so much?
Qin Wenyuan described Beichen as cunning and prudent, which in Li Shimin's view, felt like a great honor.

Li Shimin glanced at Shen Lian and said, "Do you need my help?"

Shen Lian shook his head: "Your Majesty, I don't need it for the time being. I still need to prepare for a while. For Beichen... If you want to make a move, you must catch him at once! Or, don't make a move, otherwise once he is alarmed, it will be even more difficult if you want to catch him again." Disaster."
