Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

In the blink of an eye, it split into two and fell to the ground.

The smell of blood suddenly permeated the night.

The battle also started suddenly.

Ah Bao has led everyone in the mansion to wait for a long time. After Shen Lian returned today, he informed Ah Bao that there would be guests coming tonight, so Ah Bao was prepared to entertain them well.

Sure enough, the guests came as they said.

Abao had already been reminded by Shen Lian and had prepared in advance. How could there be an accident at this moment?

The Jin Yiwei from the Intelligence Department constantly harassed these men in black from both sides.

Abao led everyone in the mansion to directly attack these men in black in a battle formation.

The two parties support each other and cooperate with each other.

Soon it took absolute advantage.

The men in black suffered more and more casualties.

At this time, the men in black knew that an accident had happened.

"No, they have an ambush!"

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

Someone was drinking.

When the men in black heard the words, their expressions changed, and they quickly moved closer together, ready to retreat.

Ah Bao, on the other hand, sneered: "You're here now, so don't leave."

"It's hard for you to come to see the Lord with such enthusiasm. If we let you leave peacefully like this, the Lord will blame us for not entertaining you well!"

He chopped down a man in black again with a big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Leave no one, don't let anyone go."

The killing continues.

Exclamations, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing kept ringing out.

In the only very ordinary house in the courtyard, Shen Lian was sleeping peacefully. His brows were raised and the corners of his mouth were smiling, as if he had had a good dream.

The night passed slowly like this.

When the rising sun dispels the darkness, the night ends, and a new day finally arrives.

The dark clouds dispersed at some point, and the whole land was bright.

Shen Lian slowly opened his eyes in the warm sunshine.

He stretched, and got up to get dressed contentedly.

Opening the door, he saw Abao standing outside.

At this time, Abao was the only one outside, the courtyard was as clean as ever, and everything was no different from before.

"Sir, why did you get up so early? It's still early. You can take a rest. Of course, you can also go to the east courtyard to get together with others." Abao said with a smile.

When I finished speaking, it was a really good suggestion.

However, Qin Wenyuan shook his head and said, "No, it's still early, let them rest more."

As he walked to the side to wash up, he asked, "Did any guests come to the west courtyard last night?"

Abao bared his teeth and smiled: "Yes, and there are quite a few of them, dozens of people."

"How was the reception?" Shen Lian nodded, not surprised at all. After all... that was the result he had deduced before going to bed.

Datang stole the fruits of those guys.

Let those guys lose a lot.

And as the instigator of all this, it would be strange for them not to retaliate against themselves...

Especially today, when Li Shimin personally encouraged them, it can be said that last night was their last chance.

The main reason is that I had an accident last night, so today's ceremony will definitely not be able to proceed as usual.

They also have time to think about other options.

Therefore, last night was their last chance. With Shen Lian's understanding of them, they would definitely take action.

as predicted.

Abao grinned and said: "No one left, we all stayed."

Shen Lian washed his face, took the towel, nodded and said, "Do you see what the answer is?"

Abao thought for a while and said: "They are all means of killing, and every one of them is not useless. It can be seen that they either make a living by killing people, or they are experienced soldiers."

"However, they should not be from the same force, and they don't cooperate with each other tacitly. Although there are many people, they sometimes accidentally hurt each other, which restricts their actions."

"In short, there were some troubles, but not enough to embarrass us to deal with them and there were no casualties."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

"It's not the same force, that is to say, it shouldn't be the Big Dipper Society."

"Of course...the Beidou Society may also have helped secretly, otherwise it would be difficult for them to avoid the people patrolling at night."

"But... Beidou Club probably just uses them to test me, Mr. Qin, and doesn't really want to join forces with them."

"If you look at it this way, there are only a few countries that have done it."

"Are you angry with embarrassment?"

Shen Lian smiled and didn't care.

Abao said: "Sir, is it possible that you... know who it is?"

"Then are we going to trouble them?"

Shen Lian shook his head and said lightly: "It's not necessary."

"They have already lost, and they must have paid a lot of energy and price for Wanbang to come to court, but the fruit was stolen by us, so now they can only be incompetent and furious."

"We have all benefited, why don't we allow others to be stingy?"

"and….…"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickered, and said meaningfully: "Today, there are bigger fish, so these little shrimps really can't get into my eyes."

Shen Lian and Abao left their residence and headed towards the inn.

Early mornings in late autumn are always very busy.

Hawkers have set up stalls on both sides of the street early, waiting for customers to come.

The farmers who make a living from farming are also going out of the city one after another at this time to reap the fruits of that year's hard work.

The breakfast stall passing by gave off steaming heat and fragrance, which whetted Shen Lian's appetite.

Shen Lian moved his nose slightly and said with a smile: "Ah Bao, today is not going to be peaceful. Talking for a while will consume a lot of brain cells, so I think we should have a good meal to replenish our energy. What do you think? how?"

Abao touched his belly and said with a smile: "You are still awesome as an adult. Just for a meal, you can still say such high-end words that make people feel high-end and full of profound philosophy of life."

Listening to Ah Bao's completely illogical flattery, Shen Lian laughed.

He sat down directly and said, "Boss, four naans, two bowls of mutton soup, and some side dishes."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment."

Soon there was an enthusiastic voice to respond.

Shen Lian randomly chose a clean table and sat down.Abao sat opposite Shen Lian.

Looking at the busy boss, the people sweating profusely while drinking soup, and the people coming and going with smiles on their faces, Abao couldn't help but sigh: "It's great!"

"What's good!" Shen Lian picked up a cup of tea and asked.

Xugou said, "It's such a wonderful life!"

"Peace and tranquility, people can make a better life with their own efforts and sweat, and their efforts will be rewarded. They don't have to worry about war, life and death, and live in beauty and stability. This kind of life... is really very good."

Shen Lian nodded gently, leaning back, holding the tea cup in both hands, white mist curled up, hiding Shen Lian's face.

"In fact, what the people want is nothing more than a stable life and a fair environment."

"Life is stable, don't worry about whether the war will come at any time, don't worry about the days when today is not tomorrow."

"The environment is fair, hard work will pay off, hard work will eventually pay off, and there will be hope in the future."

"This is the request of the people, and as long as the request of the people is met, the foundation of the Tang Dynasty will be extremely stable!"

"The family and the country are stable, and the family and the country are strong, and vice versa, it will make people's lives more stable."

"This is what complements each other! The people and the empire will never be separated! They will always belong to one body."

"So, what you see as a real life is actually the goal we are trying our best to achieve!"

At this time, the stall owner brought the food, and Shen Lian nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Afterwards, he picked up a naan, ate it, and continued to say, "Why do I spend so much time and energy playing games with the envoys of various countries?"

"Why is Your Majesty willing to go against all opinions on such an important matter, and the general, the eldest grandson, etc., are not used by them, but only I, Shen Lian, are used?"

"Why do Lord Fang and Lord Changsun know that this matter is of great importance, but once the success is huge, they don't fight for it, but instead cooperate wholeheartedly to support me in the Chu Palace?"

Shen Lian took a big sip of the mutton soup, sighed with satisfaction, and said, "It's because they are the same as me, and so are we in the Chu Palace. We all have a common wish."

Abao looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian put down the big bowl, and light poured down from the top of his head, filling the whole place with brilliance.

He said: "The family and the country are strong and the people are rich! In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, look down upon the ages!"

"This….…"

Shen Lian took a deep breath and raised his voice unconsciously: "This is our common wish!"

Abao's heart suddenly shook.

He subconsciously thought about what Shen Lian just said.

"The family and the country are strong and the people are rich! In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, look down upon the ages!"

These words, like the sound of thunder, exploded in his mind in an instant.

It made his whole body tremble.

It was not a trembling of fear, much less a trembling of terror.

This is excitement, it is excitement, it is blood surging, it is a kind of excitement that comes from the bones!
"Sir, for this prosperous age, I am willing to serve as a pawn!"

Abao couldn't help but said.

Shen Lian looked at Ah Bao's excited look with a smile on his face.

He said: "Pawns? All of us are pawns! This road is destined to be bumpy and difficult, but this is a major event that will bless future generations for thousands of years!"

"So we must do it! Moreover, everyone must have the awareness of being a pawn, because only if everyone does their best, but opens up for the Tang Dynasty, fights for the Tang Dynasty, and lays the ground for the people, can it be possible to realize our common goal. dreams and aspirations.”

"certainly……"

Shen Lian looked at Abao and smiled and said: "If you want to become a pawn of the Tang Dynasty, you must have enough food. If you don't have enough food, you can't even lift a knife. How can you become a pawn?"

"So, hurry up and eat, the food will be cold."

Only then did Abao realize that his master had already finished eating, and his own had not been touched.

He chuckled, feeling excited and warm in his heart. He felt that the most correct thing for him in his life was to choose to come to Chang'an City and be with Shen Lian!
If there are no adults, how can I see such a colorful life?

And how can there be a chance to be a wave in this magnificent event.

Abao raised his head and felt that there seemed to be a big wave in front of him, waving to him.

And that is a big trend!

It is the torrent of history!
After Shen Lian and Abao had breakfast, they walked directly to the inn.

When arriving at the post station, the craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry had just left.

It was confirmed yesterday that Datang's appointment ceremony as the leader of the alliance will be held today, and the Ministry of Industry sent people to build the high platform and related facilities overnight.

After a night of intensive construction by the craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, everything was completed when Shen Lian arrived.

Looking at the tall platform in the courtyard of the post station, with the huge bronze cauldron already placed on the high platform, looking at the smooth white marble steps, and looking at the high platform table paved with huge stones that seemed to be expensive to build, Shen Lian couldn't bear to look at it. I sighed with emotion, an infrastructure maniac is an infrastructure maniac!
Whether in ancient times or in later generations.

Really, as long as they want to build something, no matter how much time they have, there is nothing they can't build!
Awesome!It's really awesome!

I've always been awesome!

"Commander Shen."

Zhao Hai, the minister of Honglu Temple, came over and bowed slightly to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian nodded: "How's it going?"

Zhao Hai said: "Everything is ready, just wait for His Majesty to come over in a while, we can announce the establishment of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Nations according to the original regulations, and at the same time announce that Datang will become the master of the alliance. Now, there is no possibility of any change.”

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "In that case, just follow the procedures for a while."

Although the voting has now ended, Datang has officially become the leader of the alliance.

But that's just the voting result, and there is no official form to confirm it.

People in ancient times attached great importance to such things as form.

For example, to worship, you must worship the sky and the earth, and worship the emperor's heaven and earth.

For example, if you form an alliance, you must drink blood to form an alliance, and you must tell the heavens and the earth!
Another example is to go to war, you need to count troops on the battlefield, and kill the horse for the number!

Therefore, the formation of the alliance and the establishment of the leader of the alliance, such a big event, naturally must have a form.

Once there is a form, it is announced to the world, and everyone knows it, then it can be regarded as truly certain.

That's why Shen Lian was in such a hurry and decided on this the next day.

Of course, there was Shen Lian's plot in this, and Qin Wenyuan wanted to plot against others, but there was also a big reason why he wanted to completely establish Datang's position as the leader of the alliance in form.

Shen Lian walked to the high platform, placed his palms on the white marble steps, and said, "How did the envoys react?"

Zhao Hai said: "The envoys of the small country are very active, and they are very enthusiastic about Datang becoming the leader of the alliance... This..."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "It's all thanks to Commander Shen. Without Commander Shen, they would never be so active."

Shen Lian gently tapped the white marble with his fingers and said nothing.

"The other envoys, there are more than [-] envoys, have an indifferent attitude. They don't dislike or support Datang becoming the master of the alliance."

"And the remaining envoys..."

Zhao Hai lowered his voice and said: "The attitude is not very good, even if I see the minister, I will not give the minister a good face."
