Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Shen Lian smiled and nodded: "Then I won't be too polite to you. Master Chu, Dali Temple depends on you."

He got up and went to the window.

Looking at the fallen leaves outside the window, he said softly: "It's late autumn, if you go here and come back again, maybe it will be the New Year."

Chu Suiliang said: "Commander Shen is a little emotional. Could it be that... is Commander Shen also worried about this?"

Chu Suiliang was a little worried.

Shen Lian smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing to worry about. It's just that young people don't know what it feels like to be sad, so they just talk about it to compose new lyrics."

He laughed and walked out directly.

He waved his right hand high: "Mr. Chu, the Japanese officials will not come here in the next few days. The Dali Temple will be handed over to you. Remember, don't let the innocent real people who believe in us be disappointed!"

Time passed day by day.

As expected, Shen Lian has never been to Dali Temple again in the past few days.

Don't use people with suspicion, don't use people who are suspicious.

This has always been Shen Lian's philosophy.

Since he and Bai Yanguan both chose to believe in Chu Suiliang, and since he chose to hand over Dali Temple to Chu Suiliang, then he would completely trust Chu Suiliang.

Therefore, he never asked about Dali Temple again.

Instead, they have been shuttling through the government offices of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households.

I will check their progress at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry in a while.

After a while, I will go to the household department to inquire about the mobilization of grain and grass.

This time the alliance army is dispatched, and the food and grass are each responsible.

That is to say, each country has to provide a part of grain and grass, and then the commander-in-chief Xue Rengui will allocate it uniformly.

If Nanzhao is not captured within the planned time, then all the follow-up food and grass will be provided by the leader Datang.

In doing so, countries can rest assured that they don't have to worry that this expedition will be a bottomless pit, and their national strength will be difficult to support.

On the other hand, it also demonstrates Datang's leadership spirit.

Let the image of Datang be more brilliant, and make the member states more convinced.

Datang has done so well in all aspects that people can't find any problems, even if they find faults, they can't find any problems.

of course……

Shen Lian didn't want Datang to pay too much.

The reason why he worked so hard to establish the alliance was for the sake of Datang's wool, and for the benefit of Datang.

It wasn't for Datang to simply pay.

Therefore, he will do his best to allow the alliance army to destroy Nanzhao within the planned time.

With the advantage of the alliance army and his own assistance, he believed that this would definitely not be a difficult task.

And once Nanzhao is conquered, all Nanzhao's things will be theirs.

When the time comes to snatch Nanzhao's things, it can completely supplement Datang's contribution this time.

In short, this time, Datang definitely made a profit.

And it's a huge profit!
Just like that, time passed day by day.

Finally, it was the night before departure.

On this day, as soon as the sun set, Cen Wenwen, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hurried to Shen Lian's small yard.

He knocked on Shen Lian's door.

Shen Lian opened the door and saw Cen Wenwen. He smiled and said, "Master Cen is here. I just cooked a bowl of noodles. Let's eat together."

Just as Cen Wenwen was about to resign, he suddenly smelled the delicious smell.

His eyes lit up and he said, "Commander Shen actually opened his mouth, so I would be disrespectful."

Shen Lian laughed: "It is better to rush early than to rush well. Lord Cen, please invite me."

Then walked into the kitchen.

Cen Wenwen entered the house.

This was his first time coming to Shen Lian's residence.

Looking at the very ordinary decoration in the house, as well as the ordinary cabinets and tables, it is really different from the layout of the bustling Shen Mansion outside.

He couldn't help but say: "The place where Commander Shen eats is a bit plain."

Shen Lian knew that Cen Wenwen was being very polite and was saying that your family was too shabby.

He smiled and said, "I left this on purpose. This place is full of memories."

Cen Wenwen really didn't know about this matter, knowing that he didn't understand the situation just now, it was very wrong to draw conclusions casually.

He quickly said: "I'm sorry, Commander Shen, I don't know about this!"

Shen Lian was still a little resentful in his heart, but when he heard what Cen Wenwen said, his anger suddenly dissipated.

He smiled and replied, "Thank you, Mr. Cen, for your appreciation."

Soon, Shen Lian picked out a bowl of noodles for Cen Wenwen, poured him two spoons of braised noodles, and said, "Master Cen, try my braised noodles."

Cen Wenwen took a bite, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Delicious!" He couldn't help but say.

When Shen Lian saw this, he smiled and picked up his chopsticks to eat.

While eating, he said: "Master Cen, you must be looking for me so late, there must be something wrong?"

Only then did Cen Wenwen remember the business, and he hurriedly said: "Commander Shen, good news!"

"Good thing?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Have you made what I need?"

Cen Wenwen gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Commander Shen. Yes, after the Ministry of Industry's almost continuous efforts these days, what Commander Shen wants has been completely built."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the deadline I gave you, and if you come here at this time to tell me that there is good news, it would be weird if I couldn't guess what it is."

He took a bite of the noodles and asked, "Have you tested it? How powerful is it?"

Mentioning this, Cen Wenwen was surprised.

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen doesn't know. When we tested it, we never thought it would be so powerful."

"As a result, we almost killed all of us."

"Fortunately, we reacted quickly, and ran if we felt something was wrong, or we would really be finished."

Shen Lian looked surprised: "Don't tell me, you didn't expect the power beforehand?"

Cen Wenwen was a little ashamed, and said: "We, we didn't think about this, after all... After all, this is something that has never been seen before, and after it was built, everyone was very excited and excited, so they forgot about it."

"As a result of the experiment, we were all frightened."

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly and said, "You are lucky. God bless you. Otherwise, you would all be ashes now."

Cen Wenwen scratched his head, and he was indeed terrified.

Looking back on the situation at that time now, some legs are still weak.

Shen Lian put down his chopsticks and asked, "What do you think of the power?"

"powerful!"

Cen Wenwen didn't even think about it, and said: "It's so powerful that it's terrifying, and it makes people frightened when they see it. It's really extremely powerful."

"I believe that if an enemy sees it, they will definitely be scared to death."

"With this artifact, gods can block and kill gods, and Buddhas can block and kill Buddhas!"

Shen Lian listened to Cen Wenwen's compliment and said with a smile: "It's not as scary as you said, but when the enemy doesn't know anything about us, it will indeed have miraculous effects."

He clapped his hands and said, "Put those things secretly in the household department's grain delivery truck tonight, and tomorrow I will take the person in charge to take them away."

Cen Wenwen naturally had no objections.

Seeing that Cen Wenwen had eaten cleanly, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Cen, want another bowl?" Cen Wenwen said, "How embarrassing."

"It doesn't matter, I always do more."

Shen Lian stood up and helped Cen Wenwen pick another bowl of noodles.

dong dong.

At this time, the door was knocked suddenly.

A voice came from outside: "Commander Shen, I just got off duty and I'm so hungry. I'm here to get some food. Do you still have food at home?"

When Shen Lian heard this voice, he shrugged like Cen Wenwen and said, "Look, here comes a freeloader."

He walked over to open the door, and saw Wei Zheng standing outside the door with a normal expression.

When Wei Zheng saw Shen Lian, he raised the bacon he was carrying and said, "Commander Shen, I didn't come here empty-handed this time. I've brought some food and drinks. Let's have a drink. I'm doing it for you." OK."

Shen Lian clapped his tongue and said, "It's rare, Mr. Wei, to come here and take the initiative to bring something."

Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Haha, today is special. Commander Shen will leave tomorrow. I don't know how long it will take for the next meeting."

After speaking, Wei Zheng walked into the house very familiarly.

But when he entered the room and saw Cen Wenwen, he was slightly taken aback: "Master Cen? Are you here for dinner too?"

Cen Wenwen blushed when he was told.

Shen Lian smiled and scolded: "Master Wei, Master Cen just came to tell me the good news. I happened to be eating, so I invited Master Cen to stay and eat together. Do you think everyone likes to eat as much as you do?"

Wei Zheng directly took the three bowls, opened the wine pot, poured the wine and said with a smile: "I'm just eating here with Commander Shen, and I won't even go when other people invite me."

"Well, Commander Shen, I've told you the news, so I'll take my leave." Cen Wenwen felt that it was time for him to leave.

Wei Zheng said: "Why are we leaving? Since you are here, let's drink together. Since Commander Shen asked you to stay for dinner, it means that you are all one of our own, so don't be polite. Let's drink together and practice for Commander Shen." .”

But seeing Qin Wenyuan's determined face, he had no choice but to give up.

"Ahem, what, drink and drink."

Cen Wenwen felt that after all, his relationship with Shen Lian was not that good yet. They were two good brothers drinking and practicing, so it was inappropriate for him to stay here.

So he was very hesitant, thinking that he should go, but Wei Zheng, a guy with low EQ, dragged himself and refused to let him go.

Seeing that Cen Wenwen was very confused, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Cen, please stay."

"Wine is a thing, the more people there are, the more lively it is."

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, Mr. Cen, please don't be polite."

Seeing that Shen Lian had spoken, Cen Wenwen calmed down and said, "Okay, I won't be disrespectful."

Shen Lian laughed, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go on an expedition with the army. I feel very happy to see you off tonight."

"This shows that I am doing well, and there are still people who remember to practice for me."

Wei Zheng laughed, picked up the wine bowl, and said: "Commander Shen is the lucky star of our Tang Dynasty. Without you, the Tang Dynasty still doesn't know what Quyuuli is, so I will never treat Commander Shen." Will let go."

"Master Wei, you are so thick-skinned, I don't know why you have the nerve to stick to me." Shen Lian scolded with a smile.

Wei Zheng chuckled: "It has to be said that my eyes are like a torch, and I can tell that it is Lord Qin at a glance, which is unusual."

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly.

When Cen Wenwen saw this scene and saw how close Shen Lian and Wei Zheng were, he felt envious in his heart.

In the officialdom, there are quite a few people who call themselves brothers.

But how many people can be like Shen Lian and Wei Zheng?

At least there is no Cen text.

That's why he was so envious.

The trust between Shen Lian and Wei Zheng was something even he could feel.

"Come on, what are you doing in a daze, drink."

Shen Lian held up the wine bowl and said.

Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng raised their wine bowls and touched each other.

Then he drank the wine in the bowl with a big gulp.

Putting down the wine bowl, Wei Zheng picked up the wine pot again and poured wine again.

"Commander Shen, just drink as much as you can tonight. If you have to rush to Nanzhao tomorrow, you won't have a chance to drink."

"Nanzhao is not as dangerous as Tang Dynasty. Therefore, Mr. Qin, even if you are greedy for alcohol, don't drink alcohol. If something goes wrong with drinking, it will be bad."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Master Wei, do you think I am you and you are still craving for wine? When have you ever seen me craving for anything?"

"Haha."

Wei Zheng put down the jug, and said with a smile, "My lord, I'm not worried. I'm going to Nanzhao, the road ahead is steep, so I'm afraid that something will happen to Mr. Qin."

"Do not worry."

Shen Lian picked up a piece of bacon and said, "If anything happens to anyone, I will be fine."

"I went to Nanzhao to destroy Nanzhao, not to be destroyed."

"Besides, we are the active party. No matter in all aspects, we have the advantage. I am also aware of the possible problems, so nothing will happen."

Shen Lian is really confident.

He never does anything unprepared.

If he is not sure, he will definitely not take risks easily.

His own life is so precious, he will not put himself in the danger of losing his life at any time like this.

Wei Zheng heard Shen Lian's words and said, "I'll be relieved then."

Wei Zheng knew Shen Lian, and if Shen Lian said he was sure, then he must be sure.

So he directly raised the wine bowl and said: "Commander Shen, come here, I respect you, I wish you victory and return victorious!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I accept your good advice."

…………

night and day.

The first ray of morning sunlight shone through the window lattice, waking Shen Lian from his deep sleep.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and felt a slight pain in his forehead.

"This Wei Zheng, knowing that I'm going to fight, still pours me so much alcohol."

Shen Lian stood up helplessly and washed his face with cold water. They drank very late last night, and Shen Lian didn't even know Wei Zheng was so good at talking.

Shen Lian couldn't keep his eyes open as he insisted, and Wei Zheng was helped away by Cen Wenwen.

And Shen Lian rarely drank too much.

However, although he drank a lot, he was really happy.

I am about to travel far and have friends to practice for myself. This is something to be happy about.

After washing up, he picked up the horizontal knife and tied it directly to his waist.

Then he pushed the door out.

At this time, there was already a group of people standing outside the door.

Xugou, Sishe and Xue Rengui are all waiting for him.

"Master/Commander Shen."

Seeing Shen Lian, they all bowed to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian nodded slightly, strode out and said, "Let's go, it's time to set off!"

Shen Lian was wearing a green shirt this time. He was not wearing an official robe or armor.

The whole person gives people a very chic and comfortable feeling.
