Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

So, has Beichen dealt with those people?

Or are you still using them and want to use them as cannon fodder?

Or, the most unbelievable but definitely shocking situation - Beichen and Tianji are simply together.

So Beichen helped Tianji arrange those people?
There are not enough clues to fully infer.

But one thing can be known, that is, Tianji must have a secret in Nanzhao, and she must want to do something.

Maybe this time I came to Nanzhao with myself, on the surface, I was forced to bring it here, but this is also probably in Tianji's plan.

She just wanted to use herself to come to Nanzhao.

Because of Chang'an, there is no place for Tianji to live.

In Chang'an, she couldn't escape her palm at all.

But in the case of Nanzhao, maybe not necessarily.

Shen Lian thought for a while, was he influenced by anyone when he made the decision to bring Tianji to Nanzhao?

The result is no, no one can influence him without him noticing it, so that he can make a wrong decision.

So no one affects yourself.

But... Shen Lian thought about it again. He brought Tianji to Nanzhao. In fact, he didn't need anyone to influence him at all. He was just guessing that there was a high probability of doing so.

After all, it is a hidden danger for Tianji to stay in Chang'an, and she is also a member of the Beidou Society, so she knows a lot of secrets, which are useful to her.

In this case, even if no one influences her, Tianji can still guess that she will do this.

"call……"

Shen Lian let out a breath, but he didn't expect it to be connected with some previous inferences.

After several people, he added an arrow, which was connected with the inference on the other side of the vertical line.

This can also be regarded as indirect evidence, proving that all this is part of Tianji's calculation.

"So……"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes: "Tianji, can you figure out that I already know these secrets?"

"Can you figure out when you can escape from my palm?"

Shen Lian is not afraid of Tianji's calculations.

Tianji has schemes, so why doesn't he?

How could Shen Lian be unprepared to fight against smart people like Beichen Tianji?
However, until the end, when all the hole cards are revealed, no one knows who has more hole cards.

No one knows whose calculations are more far-reaching and who see more clearly.

It's like a game of chess.

Until the end, who will know who is the winner?
"Perhaps, we can give Tianji a chance...to test him."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and had a plan in mind.

When the army was marching, with Xue Rengui and Xugou around, he didn't have to worry at all.

The big deal is to stop moving forward, after all, it will not be defeated quickly.

So there is no need for him to act in sync with the army all the time.

What a waste of time.

He prepared to leave the army and go deep into Nanzhao to have a look.

He wanted to see what Nanzhao, which had not been affected by the flames of war, was like.

Then what is the real situation of Beidou Society in Nanzhao?

Thinking of this, Shen Lian breathed out gently: "It's time to take action."

He turned his head again and glanced at the things on the paper.

I don't know if Xin Tianji is still hiding something, or if Tianji is too cautious, Xin Tianji only knows these two things.

However, these are enough for now.

It can completely make him sure of some things.

Before his eyes, Tianji was finally no longer a black mist.

The thick fog that shrouded Tianji's body was gradually dissipating.

And he has a direction, and then he can search deliberately.

Finding clues and seeking the truth is as simple as instinct for Shen Lian.

Shen Lian took a deep breath and put the paper directly on the flame to burn. Soon, the paper turned into ashes.

He smiled softly: "Next, is the really interesting time."

Time went from day to night.

As night fell, every torch was lit in Xin'an City.

The jumping flame drives the darkness away.

After a day of fighting, the battle is completely over.

In the end, there was no accident in Xin'an City, it was captured by the alliance army, and the defenders of Xin'an City died, fled, and surrendered, and finally did not cause any waves.

Perhaps they didn't even think that, as the defenders of the city, they didn't have any advantage at all.

But no matter what, if you lose, you lose.

From now on, Xin'an City has changed hands.

As night fell, Xue Rengui took advantage of this big victory to directly reward the three armies, so as to boost morale and inspire people's hearts.

Therefore, the entire Xin'an city is shrouded in an atmosphere of excitement and excitement.

At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion.

In the hall, Xue Rengui, Shen Lian, Si She, Xu Gou and others were eating here, enjoying the joy of victory.

After eating, Shen Lian looked at Xue Rengui and asked, "How do you feel after this battle?"

Xue Rengui thought for a while and said, "The state is good. Although there are still big problems in coordinating the alliance army, fortunately, my lord had predicted it before and let those envoys come along."

"Because these envoys have all received the favor of the general, they are very convinced of the general, so they can be used as intermediaries to mobilize the army with the greatest efficiency. This also makes up for the fact that these troops are not familiar with each other and do not cooperate with each other tacitly."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said: "After this battle, they will be able to get along better, and their morale will be greatly improved."

"So the next battle will only be more proficient than this time."

"My officer has already investigated, and the next few cities are not too difficult to attack. As long as it is not too coincidental to meet the base of the Beidou Society or the main force of Nanzhao, it should not be a big problem."

"And these cities should be enough for you to train and integrate your army."

"In the early stage, you don't need to be too anxious to attack the city. It is most important to use these opportunities to train troops. The subsequent battles are tough battles. If you don't use the previous battles to improve the strength of the army, it will only become more and more difficult."

"So, don't let these opportunities go to waste."

Only Shen Lian would regard these siege battles as opportunities for experience.

However, neither Xue Rengui nor Xu Gou thought there was anything wrong with Shen Lian's words.

After all, in their eyes, Master Shen is omnipotent.

Being treated as a training target by Lord Shen is already considered a high standard.

Xue Rengui nodded and said: "The general understands, and I will consciously train them next time."

Shen Lian nodded slightly.

He put down his chopsticks, and immediately announced: "Your place, as I said before, everything is handed over to you."

"Next, I will leave the army for a while."

Xue Rengui and others were shocked.

Xu Gou hurriedly asked, "Master is leaving?"

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "First of all, as long as you are here, there is no point in me being here. You can easily solve these small cities, so it is a waste of my time here."

"Secondly, I want to go deeper into Nanzhao. Before the flames of war spread, I want to learn about Nanzhao's situation, and indirectly lament the situation of Beidouhui. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. I need to have a deeper understanding of them."

"Of course, I won't be away for too long. I will come back when you encounter difficulties, and when I come back...maybe it's time for us to face the Beidou Society."...

Xue Rengui and others knew much about Shen Lian's character.

Once Shen Lian makes a decision, no one can change it.

So none of them objected.

Xugou said: "I will follow the young master."

Shen Lian shook his head: "As the deputy commander of the alliance army, you can't leave, and you need to cooperate with Rengui. As a heir of a military strategist, this is your home court."

"I know you are worried about me and want to protect me."

He looked at Si Snake and said, "Si Snake will follow me with some shadow guards, so you don't have to worry about your safety."

"You just need to take care of yourself. I don't want to hear the news of your defeat before going far, and have to turn around to help you immediately."

"Therefore, the better you are here, the more assured I am. At the same time, you are as powerful as a bamboo, and can also attract the attention of Nanzhao and Beidouhui, thus creating opportunities for me."

No one present had any doubts about Shen Lian's wisdom.

They are Shen Lian's most trusted supporters, and they are also the people who have been following Shen Lian.

Therefore, they would naturally not have any objection to Shen Lian's words.

They believed whatever Shen Lian said.

There is no reason to trust, this is the relationship between them and Shen Lian.

Therefore, after hearing Shen Lian's words, even though Xue Rengui and Xu Gou were still a little worried, they nodded heavily.

"it is good!"

Xue Rengui said: "Master Shen, don't worry. I am here. I will do my best to attract the attention of Nanzhao and Beidou Society. I will never rush in or delay Master Shen's affairs."

Xugou nodded in the same way: "I will also assist General Xue and never let the young master down."

Shen Lian looked at the two of them, smiled and nodded.

"You are all people I choose, and I have always believed in my vision."

"Because I believed in you, I left without any worries. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to leave."

Shen Lian's words were a great encouragement to Xue Rengui and Xu Gou.

In their hearts, Shen Lian's status was really too high.

Therefore, other people's compliments, they will only take it as a compliment.

But only Shen Lian's praise was regarded as an honor by them.

Si Snake also said: "Don't worry, with me following the young master, even if I risk my life, nothing will happen to the young master."

Si She was the first to follow Shen Lian. Later, Xu Gou and Xue Rengui also became friends with Si She, knowing that Si She had a very high status in Shen Lian's heart.

Therefore, they naturally would not doubt it.

Having Si Snake following them really reassures them.

"so be it."

Shen Lian stood up and said with a smile: "After you have eaten and drank enough, go back and rest. I will leave early tomorrow morning."

"You don't need to send it away. I will definitely come back in a short time."

Xue Rengui and Xugou looked at each other, then nodded immediately: "I would like to obey the order of your lord."

The night is darker.

The dark clouds covered the bright moon, so that the whole land of Nanzhao seemed to be shrouded in darkness.

But this darkness will eventually be broken by light.

The next day, the scorching sun came as promised.

The fiery red light dispelled the darkness of the sky, and also woke up Tianji from her dream.

Tianji lives next to Shen Lian's room. She heard Shen Lian go out last night, but never heard Shen Lian go back. She was always worried that Shen Lian was doing something behind her back.

So she persisted until Shen Lian returned to the room and Tianji fell asleep.

This made her sleep late, and she is still a little sleepy.

"You don't sleep at night, what did you do?"

Tianji muttered, complaining a little.

But she didn't dare to really complain to Shen Lian. Without her, Shen Lian was putting more and more pressure on her.

Tianji stretched her waist, felt that she was still very sleepy, so she prepared to go back to sleep, since there was nothing wrong with her, she could wake up whenever she slept...

Bang bang bang!
But at this moment, just as she was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the originally closed door.

"Who is it?"

Tianji shouted angrily.

People who are interrupted to return to the cage will not be in a good mood.

"Open the door!"

Shen Lian's voice sounded outside.

Tianji frowned, didn't Shen Lian need to sleep?

I came back so late last night, and I called my soul so early this morning.

What does he want to do?
Tianji complained in her heart, but she really didn't dare to turn a blind eye to Shen Lian.

I could only put on my clothes and walk to the door. While opening the door, I yawned: "Shen Lian, what are you doing?"

Shen Lian glanced at the sleepy Tianji and said with a half-smile, "You slept very late last night? I saw that the candles in your room were extinguished very early. Why did you sleep so late?"

"Shouldn't you sneak out behind my official's back and do something shameful?"

It should be you if you want to say that you can't see anyone, right?

Tianji cursed in her heart.

If you had come back earlier, I would have gone to bed already.

She looked at Shen Lian and said impatiently: "Why do you want to see me so early?"

"Take you on a trip."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "It's rare to come to Nanzhao, why not take a stroll and appreciate the exotic customs?"

"So, I will give you half a stick of incense time to wash, dress and eat, and we will set off after half a stick of incense."

"If you are slow, I will tie you up and throw you somewhere, and let the horse drag you away."

Tianji was stunned for a moment when he heard Shen Lian's words.

The next moment, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and said unexpectedly: "You want to leave the army?"

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How clever. You guessed it before I even said it."

Tianji didn't care that Shen Lian rarely praised her for her cleverness. She frowned and said, "Why do you want to leave the army? Don't you know that it will be in danger for you to leave the army now?"

"The Nanzhao court wants to put you to death, and the Beidou Association also wants to kill you. The only thing you can rely on is the army. Now that you have left the army, are you not afraid of danger?"

Shen Lian smiled and asked, "Are you concerned about me?"

Tianji frowned, but did not answer.

Shen Lian was too lazy to explain that. He was not that interested in telling a prisoner the reason.

"I'll see you in the yard in a quarter of an hour, or I'll tie you up and take you away!"

After speaking, he turned and left directly.

Tianji looked at Shen Lian's back, frowning tightly.

She didn't know what Shen Lian wanted to do.
