Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

…………

at the same time.

Beidou Temple in Dali City, the fifth floor of Beidou Tower.

Xin Yuheng is eating and drinking here.

She still didn't take off the ferocious mask, but she also lifted the mask up, exposing her mouth.

Red lips.

Soft and bright.

The only exposed chin is white and crystal clear.

Just from this half of her face, you can tell that she must be a peerless beauty.

But the way she eats has somewhat affected her beauty...

I saw her sitting cross-legged with her legs wide open and closed, not looking like a lady at all.

She took the dagger, stabbed a piece of mutton directly, and ate it with big mouthfuls.

The proper eating posture of a Liangshan hero.

The whole person looked very rough and bold.

At this time, Xin Yuheng's ears twitched, and she suddenly raised her head, pressed down her mask at the same time, and said, "Who?"

"Don't be nervous, it's me."

At this time, an elegant and easy-going voice sounded.

Hearing this voice, Xin Yuheng immediately relaxed.

She raised her eyes and saw the white-haired Taoist entering the fifth floor at some point.

And she didn't notice the white-haired Taoist until he got closer.

But Xin Yuheng doesn't mean that, in her opinion, this is the most normal.

The white-haired Taoist looked at her, smiled, and said in a gentle voice: "Keep eating your food."

Xin Yuheng was not polite and didn't care about his own image, so he continued to eat meat.

She looked at the white-haired Taoist and said, "Shen Lian, this guy should have left this time."

The white-haired Taoist nodded and said, "I know, I watched him leave with my own eyes."

He took a liking to Xin Yuheng and said, "Shen Lian must have caused you a lot of trouble."

Xin Yuheng shook his head hurriedly: "No, he is very considerate. He is worried that I will be suspected and won't let me do anything."

The white-haired Taoist nodded slightly: "It can be said that he is compassionate and cherishes the jade. In this regard, he has the same style as I did back then."

Xin Yuheng didn't know what to say, so he stayed silent.

The white-haired Taoist smiled and said, "I'm here to tell you something. I'm leaving."

"Walk?"

Xin Yuheng asked hurriedly: "Where to go?"

The white-haired Taoist priest's white hair moved in the wind. He looked out the window at the blue sky and said: "Longkou City."

"Longkou City!?"

Xin Yuheng couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard the white-haired Taoist's words.

She said: "It's so dangerous out there!"

"You have to know, there is..."

The white-haired Taoist nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know it's dangerous there. After all, that's their real home base."

Xin Yuheng said: "If that's the case, then why do you still want it?"

The white-haired Taoist stood at the window, overlooking the entire Dali City.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, making his sleeves flutter.

He looked down at Dali City with calm eyes and said, "The time I agreed with him has arrived."

"Now, it's time for me to get what's mine."

Xin Yuheng asked doubtfully: "He?"

"Beichen."

The white-haired Taoist said calmly: "Back then, he plotted something against me. Although he is not a human being, I still have to fulfill my promise."

"Now, the time has come."

"So, it's time for me to get my stuff back."

Xin Yuheng's eyes widened and he said, "This... this is too dangerous."

"Now Beichen is not sure whether you are dead or not."

"So, even if you haven't appeared in these years, with Beichen's temperament, he will definitely be very cautious."

"At that time, if you really go as promised, you will definitely be ambushed from all sides."

"Not to mention, if you go, all your years of hiding will be in vain."

Xin Yuheng was very worried.

But the white-haired Taoist remained calm and indifferent.

"It's been ten years, that's my thing, I have to get it back," he said.

"Besides, since I chose to appear, it shows that I am not afraid of him discovering my fake death."

"I have not wasted my time as a dead man for ten years. I have made perfect preparations... Now, it is time to end everything."

Xin Yuheng's pupils trembled slightly.

She put down the mutton stuck on the dagger and looked at the white-haired Taoist with a solemn expression: "Is it time to end everything?"

The white-haired Taoist put his hands behind his back, and his white hair fluttered wildly in the wind. He said: "It's almost over. At the latest, it should be over within the next year."

“It’s time to determine the winner of this nearly twenty-year rivalry.”

Xin Yuheng slowly closed her eyes. She took a few deep breaths and seemed to suppress the fluctuations in her heart.

After that, she opened her eyes again and said, "Do you need me to do anything?"

The white-haired Taoist shook his head and said, "No need."

"I'm going to Longkou City just to retrieve my things and tell everyone... my return!"

"It's not time for the real decisive battle, so don't expose yourself yet."

"and……"

He smiled, turned to look at Xin Yuheng, and said, "Shen Lian, that guy is reluctant to let you take risks. If I let you be exposed because of me, wouldn't Shen Lian be able to fight me?"

Xin Yuheng: "..."

She said helplessly: "Stop making fun of me."

The white-haired Taoist smiled heartily.

He rolled up his sleeves and said: "If nothing else happens, Beichen should return to Longkou City immediately. He will not forget his agreement with me, so... you may also want to go to Longkou City together."

"I came to see you, and I have one more thing to ask of you."

Xin Yuheng said: "You say."

The white-haired Taoist has a distant gaze and a long expression.

He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although we didn't reveal any clues to Qin Wenyuan, Qin Wenyuan is as smart as I am. I think he might also go to Longkou City."

"But the dangers in Longkou City are far beyond what Dali City and Taihe City can compare with."

"So, if this kid comes to find you, or if you find him, I hope you can persuade him not to do anything."

"Longkou City can't compete with his strength alone. If he really wants to do something, then wait for the alliance army to arrive and use the army to push it directly. Otherwise...he will escape death."

Xin Yuheng pursed his lips and said, "If you are in danger and he wants to save you? Should I stop him too?"

The white-haired Taoist smiled freely and said, "How could I be in danger?"

"Remember, if I really encounter danger, it is only a danger I deliberately put myself into for you to see. In short..."

He turned around and walked out. As he walked, he said, "Even if you see me being killed with your own eyes, don't take action."

"You have only seen the surface of this deep pool. The waves inside are beyond your imagination."

"certainly……"

He walked to the door and suddenly raised his hand and waved: "I am very good at water. No matter how deep the pool is, you can't drown me, so listen to me and persuade him..."

......... The fifth floor of Beidou Tower.

The figure of the white-haired Taoist has disappeared.

That sound also dissipated in the air.

Xin Yuheng stared blankly in the direction of the door, recalling what the white-haired Taoist said when he left. He was silent for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You think too highly of me."

"Shen Lian, can I persuade him?"

"He is so good at deceiving, I'm afraid that in the end it wasn't me who persuaded him, but he deceived me into acting with him."

"but……"

After a pause, Xin Yuheng suddenly showed a smile: "I am very willing to be fooled by him."

"If you are really in danger and you ask me to do nothing...how is this possible? How can I not do anything?"

"If I really don't do anything, when Shen Lian knows the truth...will he regret me to death?"

Xin Yuheng frowned, his thoughts drifting far, far away.

At this time, a burst of footsteps sounded.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Xin Yuheng's eyes instantly returned to their original sharpness and coldness.

She picked up the dagger again and ate the meat.

Soon, a soul envoy walked in.

The soul envoy did not dare to look directly at Xin Yuheng and said hurriedly: "Master Yuheng, Beichen has an order to deal with the affairs here immediately and leave Dali City with Beichen in the afternoon."

Xin Yuheng's eyes flashed.

This is indeed the way of mind.

She asked: "Where to go?"

"It seems that we are going to Longkou City."

Xin Yuheng sighed again in his heart, he had expected everything.

So...will Shen Lian really go to Longkou City?

She was thinking in her mind, but her face didn't show any abnormality.

She nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I understand."

"The little one resigns."

The soul envoy bowed and left quickly.

After the soul envoy left, Xin Yuheng stood up.

She walked to the broken statue, took out some incense sticks, and lit it.

Then she bowed to the statue and said: "Shen Lian has already met you. I don't know if you feel it. He is very good, kind and smart. You should be late."

"I believe that with Shen Lian's ability, he will one day find out all the truth, and one day he will help you."

"Please believe in him, please wait for him. When he comes, that day will not be far away."

Xin Yuheng took a long breath and then put the incense into the incense burner.

She bowed to the statue again, then without further delay, she put on her mask, put the dagger in her sleeve, and strode away.

…………

Longkou City, outside the city gate.

Shen Lian and his party arrived here.

Looking at the city wall of Longkou City, I saw that the wall was very patchy.

It is stained with traces of time.

At first glance, one will know that this must be an ancient city with a long history.

Shen Lian looked at the city wall and asked, "Tianji, what do you know about Longkou City?"

Tianji pondered for a moment and said: "Longkou City, it is said that this was originally the habitat of a real dragon. Later, the real dragon was made a god by God and left here."

"But it has lived here for ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine years, and has feelings for this place, so before leaving, it breathed its spiritual energy to come here and blessed it, making it the most fertile place nearby. The land, therefore... this place was named Longkou City."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "This story is good, more reliable than the story about Beidou meeting Beidou Empress."

Tianji rolled his eyes.

More reliable?

You mean it's all unreliable, right?

Shen Lian didn't care about Tianji's eyes. He said, "This should be the largest and richest city in Nanzhao besides the imperial city, right?"

Tianji nodded: "It is even richer than the Imperial City, but the geographical location here is not very good, so the Imperial City is not located here."

"But this place, also known as the capital, is considered the second imperial city."

Shen Lian looked at the people coming in and out, looked at the clothes on these people, and the smiles on their faces, and nodded slightly: "The spirit of the people is indeed better than that of Dali City and Taihe City."

"It seems that this second imperial city is worthy of its name."

"Let's go then."

Shen Lian took a step forward and walked directly to the city gate: "Let's take a good look at how this so-called second imperial city compares to Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty!"

In this way, Shen Lian entered Longkou City in a swaggering manner.

He found that security in Longkou City seemed simpler than in Taihe City and Dali City.

No cross-examination.

There is no city fee income.

Even when he passed by the gatekeepers, the soldiers were unwilling to give him another look.

Shen Lian thought this was interesting.

So many things had just happened in Taihe City and Dali City. Shen Lian did not believe that Longkou City, which was not far away, would not notice anything.

But even so, Longkou City is still so lax.

This is somewhat abnormal.

And as the saying goes, when something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Be careful."

"There may be something wrong with this Longkou City."

Sishe and Tianji were slightly shocked when they heard this.

However, Tianji was still stubborn and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that this is the Beidou Club's home base? And there is something wrong with the home, so what? Looking at your expression now, are you not sure whether this is the Beidou Club's home base?"

Shen Lian glanced at Tianji and chuckled: "Yes, didn't I tell you that I was just blind? What? Are my ears broken or my head broken? I can't even remember this."

"And broken things should be thrown away to ensure that other places will not become diseased. So as a good brother, do you want me to cut it off for you? Do you think it is better to cut off your ears, or How is your head?"

Tianji: "..."

Tianji immediately stopped talking.

She was afraid that her head was really gone.

When Shen Lian saw this, he raised his chin high, as proud as a victorious rooster.

Sishe looked at the young master and then at Tianji, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Tianji, you have never won a single argument with the young master. Why don’t you have a long memory?

I still owe you a lot, are you okay now?

"Let's go."

Shen Lian said: "This time, let's go directly to an inn."

Tianji frowned and couldn't help but said, "How do I get to the inn?"

"Didn't you say when you were in Dali City that the inn was no longer safe? When we went to the inn, it was obvious that we were outsiders and could easily attract attention."

Sishe also looked at Shen Lian with some surprise.

Indeed, these words were spoken by the young master before.

When Shen Lian heard Tianji's words, he kept walking. He seemed to be a very comfortable traveling businessman. As he walked, he said lightly: "Didn't you notice?"

"What did you find?"

Both of them were startled. (End of chapter)
