Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

That's really realistic!
It’s for the five thousand silver taels that I haven’t gotten yet!
But it was precisely because of these things that Li Wencheng felt completely at peace!

He originally thought that Shen Lian and his team only took money but did not do any work, but now, not only did they do the work, but their efficiency was also improved.

And because of greed for money, it is actually very secure.

He looked at Zhang He and asked, "What was the result?"

Zhang He ignored Li Wencheng. He looked at Shen Lian and said, "After finding them, I quickly mobilized people and rushed into the mansion."

But they resisted tenaciously, and they left a secret passage. They were also very decisive and set fire to the house. In the end, we only killed a dozen assassins who were left behind, and the rest escaped. "

Li Wencheng felt a little sorry when he heard that many people had escaped.

If he killed them all, he would have fewer worries!
But even so, he was very happy and excited.

Because those killers are all elite killers trained by Tiandi Pavilion, and each of them is very strong.

But in less than a day, they first lost four people here, and then were secretly followed by the underground world, who found their lair and killed more than a dozen people...

Chang'an is just a battlefield of the Beidou Society. In Chang'an, the number of killers is definitely not unlimited, so the loss of more than a dozen people is definitely not a low loss.

Not to mention, Beichen sent assassins to kill him and silence him, but now not only did they fail to kill him, but so many assassins were killed in return...

No matter how he thought about it, it was so refreshing that he wanted to laugh heartily.

His heart finally settled down completely.

He suddenly realized that coming to the underground world to seek refuge was the right choice.

And the mysterious master of the underground world in front of him was really cruel. He originally felt sorry for letting a killer go, but now he realized... it turned out that he was just trying to use the killer.

Cruel enough, decisive enough, and with some brains...

The lord of the underground world in front of him actually gave Li Wencheng a great sense of security, and made him more confident about escaping from Chang'an this time.

Naturally, the change in Li Wencheng's expression could not be hidden from Shen Lian.

Shen Lian looked at Li Wencheng and felt so safe that he wanted to hug his arms and act like a spoiled child. The corners of his mouth rose slightly.

My image in Li Wencheng's mind became more solid, and his trust in myself grew.

Then, no matter what he asked him to do next, he believed... Li Wencheng would not have any doubts.

There are no more problems for Li Wencheng.

Then the next one... is the power of Beidou Society.

Although Shen Lian knew that Zhang He and his men could not easily eliminate the Beidou Society's personnel, they were so decisive that they burned the place directly and fled without any hesitation or fighting...

This is really similar to the Tianquan at that time.

However, Yuwen Chengdu was even more ruthless. He deliberately met him and then directly ignited the explosives, trying to blow everyone up to the sky.

In comparison, the leader of the Beidou Society who was in charge of this mission could only set fire, so it was obvious that he had never considered the possibility of being exposed...

Not enough preparation was done in advance.

Otherwise, in this underground world, except for Zhang He, perhaps everyone else would be blown to pieces.

From this we can see that not everyone in the Beidou Society is like Tianquan. At least the leader of the Beidou Society this time is not as good as the deceased Tianquan.

"It's a pity that you can't compare to Tianquan, but you are so decisive, and you have some brains. In this case... let's officially start."

Shen Lian snapped his fingers and said, "Old man Zhang."

Old man Zhang hurried over and said flatteringly, "Master."

Shen Lian said: "I asked you to prepare the personnel, are they ready?"

Old Man Zhang said quickly, "We are ready. There are 20 people in total. One of them has a similar figure to Lord Li, with dishevelled hair. Unless you look at him deliberately, you can't recognize him at all."

Shen Lian nodded slightly and said, "Then let them prepare to set off. Let them set off as soon as it gets dark."

"Yes!" Old man Zhang ran away without any hesitation.

When Li Wencheng heard that there was someone who looked very similar to him, his heart moved, as if he had figured something out. He couldn't help but look at Shen Lian and said, "Master Devil, are you deliberately leading them away on my behalf?"

"No!"

Shen Lian shook his head and said with a smile: "This is a gift to them to give them confidence. I call it - the last mock test."

"The last mock exam?"

What is this?
Not to mention Li Wencheng, Xu Gou and others were also slightly stunned and did not understand the meaning of this sentence.

And Shen Lian just smiled meaningfully.

People of this era naturally don’t understand what a mock exam is.

But in future generations, candidates who have experienced the high scores in the high school entrance examination will never forget it.

The last mock exam is the last exam before the high school entrance exam or the college entrance exam.

The difficulty of the questions in this exam will be the easiest among all the mock exams, in order to allow candidates to get high scores.

The purpose, of course, is to boost the confidence of candidates.

Candidates who have gone through this test usually score higher than usual and their confidence is built up as a result.

This is exactly what Shen Lian did this time!

He wanted the leader of the Beidou Society to build up unprecedented confidence and make that person think that he had everything under control.

A smart person is not afraid of encountering difficulties or being unable to move forward, but is afraid of having overflowing self-confidence.

Because it is difficult to move forward when encountering difficulties, he will proceed step by step and be extremely cautious.

In this situation, there may not be a breakthrough, but there will definitely be no major problems. But what if your self-confidence is overflowing?

Especially for smart people who are full of self-confidence, those who lead him will be self-righteous, proactive, and completely guided by Shen Lian, actively jumping into the trap that Qin Zulai has prepared for him.

At that time... Shen Lian believed that it would be very interesting.

"The first strategy is to take advantage of the enemy's weakness, the second strategy is to alert the enemy, and the third strategy is the last mock exam. With these three strategies, I should be seen as a smart, but arrogant and stupid person in your eyes."

"But it doesn't matter. I still want the fourth plan. The fourth plan will make you feel like an omniscient god... and the next fifth plan..."

Shen Lian's lips curled up slightly: "I'll let you know what cruel reality is..."

"Oh……"

Shen Lian glanced at the extremely excited Li Wencheng and smiled in his heart: "And you, I gave you the sixth strategy. You are very honored to have seen more strategies than that person."

Li Wencheng, who was excited, suddenly felt his whole body stiff, as if he was stared at by a poisonous snake, and he could not help but shiver.

He muttered a few words, and then felt excited that he was about to escape from the suffering.

Looking at Shen Lian, his eyes were full of emotion. He felt that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to find the master of the underground world.

I am so far-sighted!
Night falls.

Huaiyang Restaurant, on the second floor, in a private room.

The atmosphere was a bit gloomy.

A young man with a sinister look was sitting there drinking. He had a bad face, and his small eyes seemed to contain the oppressive tranquility before a storm.

This made everyone standing in the private room dare not make a sound, and even held their breath, for fear of angering this really angry master.

This time, they really hit the ditch.

They never imagined that those stinky creatures in the underground world, whom they had never taken seriously and never looked down upon, would almost cause them great harm. They almost died at the hands of those bugs.

Not to mention their arrogant master.

Even they were all feeling extremely depressed.

Think about it, they have been in the Tang Dynasty and have seen all kinds of people. Almost all the things that shook the foundation of the Tang Dynasty were planned by their organization. So how could they look down on the underground world that has no status at all?

But who knew... that such an underground world would actually destroy their hideout and almost put them in a huge crisis. This was really hard to swallow!
Someone couldn't help but speak.

The young man's wine glass suddenly fell on the table with a bang.

He said with a gloomy expression: "Do you need to say that? If I don't take revenge, the other members of the Beidou Society will laugh at me to death. Do you think the members of the Beidou Society can swallow such humiliation?"

Everyone thought about it and then shook their heads.

The young man's eyes were cold and gloomy. "So, I want to surpass them, and I will never let this humiliation go! I must destroy the underground world with my own hands, and I must avenge this vengeance!"

"but……"

He exhaled a breath of foul air and said, "Now is not the time yet. Don't forget the task Beichen gave us. Our top priority is to get rid of Li Wencheng to prevent him from leaking our information, so... put the underground world aside for the time being, get rid of Li Wencheng first, and complete the assessment Beichen gave me!"

"As long as I become a core member of the Beidou Society, I can mobilize the resources of the Beidou Society at will. By then... a small underground world can be destroyed just by saying so!"

Everyone around him nodded.

"Your Excellency is the one who thinks things through. We have been blinded by hatred!"

"Your Excellency is extremely intelligent and will definitely achieve your wish this time and become a core member of the Beidou Society!"

"Let him roam around in the underground world for a few days!"

Some people agreed, some flattered him, but this young man just narrowed his eyes and actually suppressed the anger in his eyes.

"I asked you to monitor the actions of the underground world. How is it going? Are there any results?" he said.

Someone quickly answered, "The brothers have gone, but there has been no notification yet."

"Keep a close eye on it. In order to get rid of danger, Li Wencheng will definitely ask the underground world to help him leave as soon as possible, so the underground world will definitely take action." He analyzed rationally.

"Yes!"

"besides……"

The young man's expression suddenly became serious. He said, "Also keep an eye on Shen Lian, but don't follow him too closely, lest you be discovered. Beichen has specifically reminded us to be alert to Shen Lian. If Shen Lian is involved in this, we should consider withdrawing from this mission. Shen Lian is too dangerous."

"Someone from the Dali Temple did go to look for Li Wencheng before, but Li Wencheng had disappeared by then. After that... we didn't find any special actions from the Dali Temple. As for Shen Lian..."

A confidant thought for a moment and said, "Although he is just a powerless lord, his whereabouts are hard to figure out, and there are too many people protecting him openly or secretly. We can't get close to him at all, so we don't know what he is doing now."

"But sir, I don't think Shen Lian will be faster than you. You know, the people sent by the Dali Temple were later than us! At least we tortured Li Wencheng's confidants, but the Dali Temple got nothing, no clues."

"And you, my lord... already know that Li Wencheng is in the underground world. You are extremely smart and must be much faster than Shen Lian. Even if Shen Lian is involved, he is definitely not as fast as you. Maybe you have already eliminated Li Wencheng and Shen Lian doesn't know anything."

The young man frowned slightly, his expression still solemn.

He was in Chang'an, not worried about the underground world, or even the imperial court. The only thing he was worried about was... the newly promoted Lord Shen Lian of the Tang Dynasty that Beichen had repeatedly reminded him of!

That was the person the king really threatened.

"and……"

The confidant glanced at the young man and said, "The last leg of the plans of the other deceased Beidou members all died in Shen Lian's hands, so...if you can get ahead of Shen Lian and get rid of Li Wencheng, so that Shen Lian will be defeated, wouldn't that indirectly prove that you are several times more powerful than them?"

In a flash, the young man, who was originally hesitant and worried, suddenly widened his small eyes like copper bells, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

He slammed the table and said, "That's right! The underground world is nothing but a bunch of bugs. How can I take them seriously? Only Shen Lian is qualified to compete with me!"

"You're right. As long as I can defeat Shen Lian and surpass him, and deal with Li Wencheng in advance, who among those guys would dare to say that I'm not as good as the previous members of the Beidou Club? If one of the vacant codenames is given to me, who would dare to disobey?"

He just felt that the blood in his body was boiling, and he became more and more energetic.

"Shen Lian, you are doomed to fail! With your identity, maybe you don't even know about this stinky organization in the underground world? And I already know where Li Wencheng is. This time, I will definitely get rid of Li Wencheng before you do. I will prove to everyone... I, Xiong Chenglin, am stronger than all of you dead members of the Big Dipper Club!"

The young man Xiong Chenglin's eyes flickered, his teeth gritted, and he swore secretly in his heart: "My father lost to Tianquan, which became his lifelong regret. I will avenge him! If you meet my father in the underworld one day, my father will not be inferior to you!"
