Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

The more a person's emotions fluctuate, the easier it is to win him over.

He nodded directly and said, "I understand. I will ask the restaurant to start cooking right away."

"Sir Shen, would you like to show up as well? Let them know who is protecting them?"

Shen Lian shook his head.

He said: "I will not show up. My identity is different from yours. If I show up, they may feel the seriousness of the matter."

"After all, it's okay for me to take action, but once I take action, things will never be small."

“So I just didn’t show up.”

"Besides, I have some other plans to make. If I show up, it might arouse the vigilance of some guys."

"Therefore, for more important plans, I cannot show up either."

Wu Shiqi didn't know what other plans Shen Lian had, but Shen Lian didn't reveal them to him, so he tactfully didn't ask any further questions.

He said, "Well, since Lord Shen cannot show up, I will shamelessly accept the credit given by Lord Shen this time."

Shen Lian left the restaurant and walked on the quiet street.

The drama was over, so there was nothing left for Shen Lian to stay for.

He had already done what he was supposed to do, and Shen Lian no longer cared about the rest.

With Han Min and Wu Shiqi here, one of them is in charge of fate and the other is good at making friends, they can naturally solve the rest of the problems easily.

Shen Lian walked on the street, reviewing tonight's actions in his mind.

The overall operation tonight can be said to be very smooth.

All the plans were progressing as he expected.

Overall, no problems.

"I believe that the news about the restaurant will be known to the people of Beidou Society in no time."

Shen Lian talked to himself as he walked.

"And when the people of the Beidou Society heard that the Japanese and Khitan thieves attacked together and nothing happened, they would definitely call them stupid and incompetent."

"They should be worried that if all the thieves who want to destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce are dealt with, there will be no one to cause trouble in the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce for them, thus diverting other people's attention for them."

"So... they will now have two choices."

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, his mind working rapidly.

"Or, they continue to wait. Once they find that other forces have taken action, they will not hesitate and act at the fastest speed to avoid losing the opportunity."

"Or, they can take action themselves and create chaos in the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

"but……"

Shen Lian said slowly: "If they could do it themselves, they would have done it long ago, instead of just inciting some hot-headed young people."

"They would do this, which only proves that they don't want to do it themselves, so as not to leave clues and let me find them."

"So, in the next few days, they should consider the first option first. They believe that not all enemy forces have been discovered, and there are still thieves hiding in the dark, waiting for them to take action."

"But if no enemy forces take action within the next three days, then they will be forced to take action themselves on the last day of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

"After all, once the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is over, their best chance to deal with Jingzhao Yin will also be over."

"So they can't wait, and they can't afford to delay."

At this time, Shen Lian stopped.

Before he knew it, he had returned to his doorstep.

Shen Lian raised his head and looked at the moon above his head.

I saw a half-moon hanging in the sky, and the moonlight was as bright as a flower, hanging above my home.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "If we let Beidou Society do it themselves, who knows what trouble they will cause."

"So, we can't give them the opportunity to do it themselves."

“I have to create opportunities and make them feel that the opportunity has come so that they will take the bait.”

Shen Lian smiled, his mouth corners raised: "People of Kucha, you should feel very lucky now because you have not been discovered."

"But you don't know that the only reason I kept you here is to let you give Beidouhui a chance."

"So, the time has come for you to perform."

"Let everything be over tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow!"

Shen Lian was not going to wait until the third day.

Because on the fourth day, Beidou will definitely take action.

On the third day, if pressure is put on Beidou, it is very likely that Beidou will not want to wait any longer.

Therefore, the day after tomorrow is the last day within the controllable range.

.

Shen Lian thought all the way as he walked.

And when he returned home, all his plans and arrangements came to the most thorough moment.

He smiled, stopped thinking about it, pushed open the gate, and returned home lightly.

As the time of my wedding gets closer, the time I spend living in this small courtyard is getting less and less.

Shen Lian cherishes this last period of time very much.

After all, this place carries all the warm and lonely memories I have had so far.

After crossing the courtyard and arriving at the door, Shen Lian was about to take out the key to open the door when suddenly, his eyes narrowed.

Shen Lian looked at the crack in the door.

I saw a paper tip here.

He thought about it, unlocked the door and pushed open the door.

As the door was pushed open, the paper stuck in the gap fell directly down.

Shen Lian was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and instantly caught the falling paper.

Then, he looked at the paper, and his eyes suddenly flashed.

There was only one line of heroic words on the paper.

"We'll meet at Broken Bridge at Chou time tonight."

And below this line of words, there is a signature.

The signature is only one word.
-
曦！
Who is Xi?
Among all the people Shen Lian knew, there was only one person with the single name "Xi".

That is--Yuheng!

Yuheng, who was engaged to me as a child!

Is this letter written by Yuheng to himself?

Does she want to see herself?
Shen Lian's eyes flashed.

Could it be that Yuheng is the star person sent by Beidou this time?
wrong!

Shen Lian felt that it shouldn't be Yuheng.

In other words, even if there is Yuheng, there are definitely others!
Otherwise, if it was just Yuheng, Yuheng would have come to see me long ago.

Won't wait until today.

And since Yuheng had waited until today to see me, there was no doubt that he had never had the chance to get away.

Tonight should be a rare opportunity.

Shen Lian glanced at the sky.

It was already past midnight and not long before the hour of Chou.

Without further delay, he locked the door again, turned around and left his home.

Yuheng said that they should meet at the Broken Bridge at Chou hour.

But there was no bridge called Broken Bridge in Chang'an City.

So, this is specifically designed to bluff people.

If this letter was seen by someone other than Shen Lian, they would definitely not be able to find the meeting place.

Because there is no such thing as a broken bridge.

To break means to disconnect in the middle.

Broken Bridge means the word "bridge" is broken in the middle.

Therefore, the Broken Bridge should be understood as the meeting of Mu and Qiao.

Mu Qiao, in the entire Chang'an city, there are only a few families with these two words in their names.

There was only one inn left that was open at Chou time and could be entered openly without being noticed. Muzi Qiaoji Inn in Changxiangfang.

The reason why it is called Muzi Qiaoji Inn is because the founder of the inn is named Li Qiao.

And Li separated, that is Muzi.

So it was given such a strange name.

But precisely because of the strange name, it was easier to attract some people to come there, and over time, the name has been passed down.

Shen Lian dodged and entered an alley.

When he came out of another alley, he looked completely different.

Shen Lian changed his appearance.

In Chang'an City, unlike other places, in Nanzhao, and even in the Jiangnan region, Shen Lian can walk around with his original appearance.

But in Chang'an City, he was too famous.

It's easy to be recognized.

Therefore, if you want to meet Yuheng secretly, you can only disguise yourself.

Soon, Shen Lian arrived at Haochangxiangfang, which was one of the few markets that had no curfew at night, so even at the early hours of the morning, it was still very lively.

And there was a huge crowd of people inside Muziqiao Inn.

When Shen Lian arrived here, the lobby on the first floor was still very lively.

Some businessmen discussing business and brothers of loyalty all come here to drink and chat.

"Objective, are you going to stay overnight or stay in a hotel?"

As soon as Shen Lian entered the inn, a waiter came to greet him.

Shen Lian said: "Someone has made an appointment."

The waiter asked, "May I ask your name?"

Shen Lian said: "Lu, de Lu de Lu."

"It turns out to be Master Lu. Please follow me."

As he said that, the waiter led Shen Lian to the second floor.

Seeing this, Shen Lian smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

As he walked, he laughed in his heart.

It seems that the tacit understanding between me and Yuheng is pretty good.

.

He and Yuheng never agreed on a name to meet under.

But Yuheng obviously guessed what he would use.

The surname Lu was the pseudonym that Shen Lian used after he went to Nanzhao.

Similarly, when he first met Yuheng, he deceived Yuheng's name.

Shen Lian still remembers the first time he met Yuheng and the scene when he made Yuheng cry.

Now it seems that Yuheng really has a very deep memory of that meeting!

Yuheng guessed that he would use the surname Lu.

Shen Lian also guessed that Yuheng would leave his surname Lu.

As it turned out, Shen Lian was right.

"Mr. Lu, this is it."

The waiter stopped in front of a door.

He said, "Your friend is inside."

Shen Lian nodded: "Thank you."

After saying that, Shen Lian knocked on the door gently and said, "I'm here."

As Shen Lian knocked on the door, a voice soon came from the private room: "Come in."

The voice sounded like the gentle and soft voice of a gentleman.

It was clearly a man's voice.

Hearing this voice, Shen Lian raised his eyebrows slightly.

I was a little surprised.

However, he did not delay and directly pushed the door open and walked in.

After entering the private room, I saw a man sitting behind the table.

This man has a handsome appearance and elegant temperament.

He has a pair of peach blossom eyes, and when he sits there, he gives people a very warm feeling.

It seemed as if the elegant gentleman, gentle as jade, described in the book was written for him!
Seeing the person in front of him, Shen Lian took a closer look at him. At this moment, even Shen Lian was a little unsure and asked, "Xi?"

At this moment, the man in front of me suddenly laughed.

As soon as he smiled, all the gentle and jade-like temperament he had just had disappeared instantly.

Instead, there is a kind of wisdom and agility.

A pleasant voice laughed and said, "This is the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't recognize my disguise?"

This time, the voice was a familiar female voice.

It is confirmed that the elegant young man in front of me is Yuheng.

Shen Lian nodded truthfully and said, "I really don't dare to recognize it."

"Whether it's your disguise or the temperament you just pretended to be, it's perfect. No one can find any fault with it."

Yuheng listened to Shen Lian's words, and joy appeared in his bright eyes.

He waved his hand, slowly opened the folding fan, and said in a very casual manner: "Brother, thank you for the compliment."

Shen Lian burst out laughing at Yu Heng's cunning.

He looked at Yuheng and said, "You are quite good at disguising yourself. You even changed your gender."

Yuheng smiled and said, "There are some annoying guys who always follow us around. If we don't disguise ourselves thoroughly, it's easy for them to catch up with us."

"But don't blame me. Look at you. I can't recognize you in your disguise."

"Who would have thought that beneath this ordinary face, there is an extremely handsome face that can charm thousands of girls?"

Shen Lian is not thin-skinned, so he is naturally not afraid of Yu Heng's teasing.

He smiled and said, “You can imagine that, can’t you?”

Yuheng was stunned for a moment.

Then he suddenly burst into laughter.

She said, "You are getting married soon, so have you become more shameless?"

Shen Lian said righteously: "I'm not bragging, I'm just acknowledging what you said. After all, you're the one who's praising me, aren't you?"

Yu Heng laughed and said, "I won't argue with you. Everyone knows that you, Shen Lian, are smart. If I argue with you, sooner or later you will make me cry again."

Yuheng still remembers how Shen Lian made her cry when she first met him.

Now when he thought back to what happened, his gums felt itchy and he wanted to bite Shen Lian hard.

Shen Lian smiled, then asked seriously: "Have you been in Chang'an for a long time?"

Upon hearing this, Yuheng also stopped smiling.

She nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, I have been here for a few days."

"I originally left Chang'an after we parted in the underground palace to report to Beichen."

"Later, Beichen heard that you were getting married, so he sent Tianxuan to celebrate with you. Then he heard that the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce was going to be held, so he asked me to come here as well, and asked me to work together with Tianxuan to destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows: "At first, only Tianxuan came, and the purpose of Tianxuan's coming was to celebrate my wedding?"

Yu Heng smiled and said, "Do you feel honored? Beichen personally sent a star person to celebrate for you?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "The celebration is fake, but the destruction is real, right?"

Yuheng smiled and said, "I don't need to say more, right?"

………………

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "The celebration is fake, but the destruction is real, right?"

Yuheng smiled and said, "I don't need to say more, right?"
