Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 663 Such an outrageous thing!
"This mansion does have a certain possibility... Of course, there really is a secret passage in front."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I don't know if there is a secret passage. If there really is one, it is Beichen's way to survive. Beichen will never reveal it easily."

Tianji asked: "What should we do then?"

"Neither your choice nor my choice is the same."

"Originally I thought that if our choices were the same, then the probability of it being that place would be very high."

"But now, I take that back."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Since we can't determine a certain location, let's deploy defenses in these four places."

"Don't forget, this is Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty, our territory!"

"We don't have much else, but we have a lot of people!"

Tianji was slightly stunned when he heard Shen Lian's words.

Immediately, she simply smiled and shook her head.

"That's true."

"I had forgotten that you are different from me."

Tianji said: "As for me, I am now considered a rat, and everyone wants to kill me, so when I encounter problems, I always have to do it myself."

"But you are the Lord of the Tang Dynasty, the soon-to-be-married Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty, the Justice of the Tang Dynasty, and the smartest person in the Tang Dynasty..."

"So, you are not alone. You have enough power and connections, which can help you accomplish what I can't do."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "You are not a rat that everyone wants to kill."

"Before the trip to Nanzhao, you were indeed like this, being beaten by Beichen and me in mixed doubles."

"But now, we have already forgotten our past grudges. You accompany me to travel around Nanzhao, and our grudges are wiped out... So, now we are friends."

"If you have any difficulties, you can come to me directly, just like I shamelessly came to you."

"So, you don't have to make yourself sound so miserable, as if I'm just a fair-weather friend who can't help you at all."

Tianji was stunned for a moment after listening to Shen Lian's words.

friend……

She had never thought about these two words.

She thought it was good enough that Shen Lian didn't cause trouble for him.

But she didn't expect that Shen Lian actually treated her as a friend.

And if you are still in trouble, you can look for friends to help you.

These two words are really too far away from Tianji.

So now that she suddenly got these two words, she was a little at a loss.

Tianji took a deep breath, she looked at Shen Lian and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will use you again? I'm lying to you?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I believe in my judgment."

"I believe more in my wisdom. I haven't missed the person I've chosen."

Tianji smiled and said, "Then should I thank you for thinking so highly of me?"

Shen Lian shrugged: "If you want to thank me, I won't refuse."

Tianji rolled his eyes.

She leaned back, tapping her fingertips on the table.

"Do you need my help in dealing with Beichen?"

"Although I am not as powerful as before, I am not completely unable to help."

Shen Lian shook his head.

He held the teacup in his hand and looked up at the sunlight shining through the gaps between the leaves.

"If it was outside of Chang'an, I would definitely not be polite to you, but in Chang'an City, forget it."

"As you said, I have too many connections and relationships in Chang'an City, and this is originally the court's business, so you don't need to take any action."

"If you don't make me feel uncomfortable, you can treat me to a few meals. I don't object."

Tianji rolled his eyes again: "You're thinking that's nice."

"I won't be sick if I don't help you."

Shen Lian laughed.

The wind moves the leaves.

Rustling.

The backyard of this pawnshop is unusually quiet.

Shen Lian said, "You chose a good place. It's noisy outside, but quiet inside. There aren't many such quiet places in the bustling city of Chang'an."

Tianji shrugged: "If you like, you can also build a secret base like this. If you rebel in the future, you will have a place to hide."

Shen Lian said unhappily: "Thank you."

Tianji suddenly felt very happy and burst into laughter.

"I was able to make you speechless. It seems I have to learn from you and talk nonsense in the future."

Shen Lian sneered: "Nonsense, do you still think you can beat me?"

"I'm talking nonsense, but this is the TEM-8 certificate."

"What?" Tianji was stunned.

Nonsense, there is still a certificate?
Shen Lian stood up immediately.

He tilted his head back and drank up the tea in the cup.

boom!
He put the teacup back.

Shen Lian said: "Look, you believe everything I say. How can you be better than me if you talk nonsense?"

"okay."

Shen Lian waved his hand and said, "No more talking, it's time to get ready."

"Four locations, focus on defense."

"Send someone to keep an eye on other places."

"I hope that this time, we can really see Beichen's true face!"

Shen Lian laughed and said, "Don't fight for several years. It's ridiculous that you don't even know what the real person looks like."

After saying that, Shen Lian walked straight out.

The back view is graceful and there is no hesitation at all.

Seeing this, Tianji smiled and shook his head: "Interesting guy."

Shen Lian left the pawnshop.

He was not in a hurry to return to the Dali Temple.

He was thinking about how to deploy his defense for the next game.

What they are sure of now is that they can take the lead and let the villains from Kucha take action to disrupt the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce.

And once the Kingdom of Kucha takes action, he believes that Tianxuan will definitely follow suit.

After all, for Tianxuan, he doesn't have to personally disrupt the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, so he can hide himself better.

Therefore, at that time, Tianxuan would take action against the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.

He would set up an ambush in advance, and as long as Tianxuan took action, Jingzhao Yin could catch the turtle in the jar.

This is not a difficult thing.

But what he is not sure about now is... whether Beichen will take this opportunity to take action.

The officials' meeting is about to be held.

Beichen will choose the time when Tian takes action. Can we do it together?
Although it is highly likely that Beichen will take advantage of the time when the court's attention is attracted by the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce and Jingzhao Yin and choose to take action.

But there is still a certain probability that no action will be taken.

After all, Beichen is a very cunning person.

Sometimes, when a storm comes, it is not actually dangerous.

After the storm, everyone thinks the danger is over, but when they start to relax their vigilance, that is when it is most dangerous.

Because a flash flood may be coming.

Therefore, Beichen might wait until everything is settled and everyone has breathed a sigh of relief before he chooses to take action.

This is also very possible.

Both possibilities now coexist.

Beichen now doesn't know that he has guessed Beichen's purpose.

Therefore, your own deployment must also be accurate.

Once he misjudged Beichen's action time and Beichen noticed it, Beichen might cancel the action directly.

Or, change the target and use the opponent's trick against you.

All of this is possible.

Therefore, what he needs to do now is to determine whether Beichen will follow Tianxuan in taking action.

This is the most important thing at the moment.

But there were too few clues at the moment, and Shen Lian couldn't make a judgment. He raised his head and looked at the sky above his head, feeling worried.

Although, Shen Lian likes opponents with high intelligence.

But sometimes, such opponents can be a headache.

"Young man, why are you so sad?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

When Shen Lian heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, then he turned his head suddenly to look.

I saw an old lady at the tea stall nearby, looking at me with kind eyes.

And Shen Lian was very familiar with this old lady!

When he was at the Beidou meeting in Nanzhao, he met this old woman three times!
Later, he suspected that there was something wrong with the old woman, but he couldn't find it.

A few days ago, he thought he saw this old woman on the street, but when he chased her out, he couldn't find her.

But I didn't expect...

At this moment.

This old woman was actually sitting not far away and she took the initiative to call me.

........................

Shen Lian's eyes flashed.

All the information about the old woman suddenly appeared in his mind.

But in the end, there is zero knowledge of this person.

He had too little information about the old woman.

The only thing he was sure of was that this old woman was probably not an enemy.

At least, he doesn't have much ill will towards himself.

Otherwise, she would not have helped me when I was in Nanzhao.

Shen Lian was thinking about something and walked over with a smile.

"Aunt, what a coincidence?"

…………

Aunt?

The old woman was stunned for a moment.

It seemed that he didn't expect Shen Lian to be called like this.

She immediately smiled, not caring about the title, and said, "Yes, what a coincidence."

"I thought I was seeing things just now. I didn't expect it was really you."

Shen Lian didn't believe a word of this.

I read it wrong?
skillful?
He felt that the old woman was waiting for him here on purpose.

Shen Lian sat casually in front of the old woman.

He called out, "Another pot of tea, fill a cup."

"okay!"

The waiter quickly brought a pot of tea and a teacup.

Shen Lian picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and then said, "Why did my aunt come to Chang'an?"

The old woman looked at Shen Lian and said, "There is war going on in Nanzhao right now, it's too uneasy, so I wanted to find a quiet place to stay."

Shen Lian said: "It's a long way from Nanzhao to Chang'an. Did you come here alone?"

The old woman smiled and said, "What do you think?"

Shen Lian listened to the old woman's words and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He immediately smiled and said, "I can't guess."

The old woman picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. She put the cup down with a bang and said, "Then don't ask."

Shen Lian raised his eyebrows.

He found that this old woman seemed to be a person with a generous personality.

She bluntly told me not to ask anymore.

Instead of telling lies to get away with it.

This is somewhat interesting.

Shen Lian picked up the teacup and shook it gently. He looked at the old woman and said, "I wonder if my aunt's daughter-in-law has given birth to a baby?"

Shen Lian still remembered that the last time he met the old woman at Beidou Club, she came to fulfill a vow.

Because his daughter-in-law is pregnant.

This has been going on for several months.

It is reasonable for Shen Lian to ask this.

Of course, Shen Lian felt that the old woman had been deceiving him before.

Maybe her daughter-in-law was not pregnant at all.

The old woman glanced at Shen Lian and suddenly sighed: "It should be soon."

"Should it be soon?"

The old woman thought for a moment and said, "If it goes fast, you can have a baby by this time next year."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "By this time next year, how many months will the pregnancy be? May I ask, is your daughter-in-law pregnant with Nezha?"

The old lady said unhappily, "How dare you ask such a question?"

Shen Lian said: "Aunt, you are so embarrassed to say it, why am I so embarrassed to ask it?"

The old woman stopped talking and just stared at Shen Lian.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have been stared at directly.

But Shen Lian is not an ordinary person.

Shen Lian looked straight at the old woman, allowing her to stare at him, and the two of them looked into each other's eyes.

After a long while, the old woman said, "Why don't you blush?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I am thick-skinned. Even if you stare at me all day, I won't blush."

The old woman waved her hand: "Boring."

She looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Can I drink?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I will sacrifice my life to accompany my aunt."

The old woman was happy: "Okay, that's what you said, don't run away later."

Then he said directly and generously: "Boss, two jars of the best daughter's red wine, and a few side dishes."

Soon, the wine and food were served.

Without waiting for the old woman to make a move, Shen Lian picked up the wine jar and filled their two cups with wine.

The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, you have good judgment."

Shen Lian smiled and said, "In our Tang Dynasty, respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue."

The old woman rolled her eyes and said, "I don't see you showing me much respect."

Shen Lian smiled: "After all, I think you are still very young, Auntie."

"really?"

The old woman was immediately happy.

Looking at the old woman's actions and her excited expression.

Shen Lian had reason to suspect that the old woman in front of him was the result of disguise.

The woman in front of me probably isn’t particularly old. If she is really old, her mentality is definitely very young.

Otherwise, it would be very difficult for a very experienced person to make so many lifelike expressions...

Shen Lian picked up the wine bowl, looked at the old woman, and said, "Aunt, we have deceived each other before for various reasons. Let's not care about it here. After drinking this bowl of wine, let's forget about those things. How about it?"

The old woman said nothing, but just touched it with her bowl.

Then he tilted his head back and drank the wine in the bowl in one breath.

Seeing this, Shen Lian also drank up the wine in the bowl.

Feeling the wine passing through his body and burning his entire body, Shen Lian just felt refreshed.

These days, I have been busy with Beichen's affairs.

Although he looked very relaxed and was even able to joke when facing Tianji just now.

But in fact, his nerves were always tense.

After all, Beichen's existence is a threat to the people of Chang'an City.

As the only person who can fight against Beichen, he naturally feels tremendous pressure.
