Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Xiong Chenglin thought about his father's last words.

His father is Xiong Kuohai, one of the Thirteen Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, ranking fourth among the thirteen.

Brave and invincible, rare in the world!
He took the lead in rebelling against the Sui Dynasty and fought alongside Qin Qiong and others. By chance, he learned of the existence of the Beidou Society and fought against Tianquan several times... but in the end, he was defeated by Tianquan.

Xiong Kuohai traveled all over the world throughout his life and fought against all the heroes in the world, but he failed to defeat Tian Quan even once. Even when he joined forces with other heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties, even when he joined forces with Wu Yunzhao and others, he still failed to defeat Tian Quan.

Whether in martial arts or wisdom, he is no match for him!

It can be said that Tianquan has become Xiong Kuohai's inner demon and his lifelong obsession.

But until his death, Xiong Kuohai had never defeated Tianquan.

Therefore, he passed this wish to his son, Xiong Chenglin.

If I can’t defeat Tianquan, then my son will do it!
He hoped that his son would one day prove himself to be stronger than Tianquan. Then, he would be able to rest in peace in his grave!

And Xiong Chenglin, because of his father's last wish, has been fighting with Tianquan. He has fought openly and secretly for dozens of times, but he ended in failure every time.

Now that Tianquan is dead, there is no way to fight.

The same principle applies as long as we defeat Shen Lian who killed Tian Quan!

This is a rare opportunity to prove that he is stronger than Tianquan, how can he not seize it!

Take Shen Lian one step ahead and deal with Li Wencheng!
This is the closest chance he has to defeat Tianquan!
So, he swore that he must not miss this opportunity!
Boom boom boom!
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Everyone in the room suddenly became nervous, and many people put their hands on the hilt of the knife.

"Sir, it's me!"

There was a sound outside.

Hearing this familiar voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone quickly opened the door, and then a man in ordinary clothes entered the room. He bowed to Xiong Chenglin and said, "Sir, there is movement in the underground world. Not long ago, more than 20 of them left the underground world. We have investigated carefully and found that one of them looks very similar to Li Wencheng. Although the man's face is covered, his figure and other things are very similar. If nothing unexpected happens, they are going to take Li Wencheng away from Chang'an!"

When everyone heard what this person said, their faces changed.

"Sir, Li Wencheng is about to escape. We must act quickly!"

"Yes, we can't let Li Wencheng escape."

They all looked at Xiong Chenglin, but Xiong Chenglin frowned.

The next moment, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up, and he sneered, "I didn't expect that the master of this underground world has some brains and knows how to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

"What, lure the tiger away from the mountain?"

Everyone was startled when they heard this.

Xiong Chenglin looked at this person and said, "They came out of the underground world. They are not too secretive, right? Or, they are not hiding from anyone at all? Right?"

"How does your Excellency know?" The man was very surprised.

Xiong Chenglin sneered, "It's very simple. Since the underground world knows about our existence, if they really took Li Wencheng away, how could they let you know about Li Wencheng's existence? What's the body shape that looks like Li Wencheng? This is simply told to us on purpose."

"So, how could they disguise themselves in order for us to be sure that Li Wencheng was in there?"

"You guys have fallen into the trap!"

"Li Wencheng is definitely not in there!"

He said confidently, "Is this a trick of the underground world? They are trying to lure us away. I think... if nothing unexpected happens, they will really take Li Wencheng away next!"

When everyone heard Xiong Chenglin's words, they thought for a moment, and then they couldn't help but look at Xiong Chenglin with shining eyes.

"Your Excellency's strategy is unparalleled. You solved the underworld's schemes in one fell swoop! I admire you!"

"I admire you, too. If it weren't for you, sir, we would have fallen into your trap!"

"This underground world is really full of tricks, but it is still far inferior to what adults can do!"

"Even if it's Shen Lian, he certainly can't compare to your sharp eyesight, right? After all, you can infer it without even looking, but Shen Lian definitely can't do that!"

Xiong Chenglin listened to everyone's flattery and for a moment, his confidence was overflowing!

At the same time, he was very disdainful of the lord of the underground world.

First you try to cover up something, but it only makes it more obvious. You are trying to cover up something, but you are trying to cover up something. You let yourself know that Li Wencheng is in the underground world.

Then he sent people to attack me, which alarmed me and made me prepared.

Now, they have come up with such an unskilled trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain...

It can be seen that the Lord of the Underworld is indeed clever, but that is just a little cleverness and self-righteousness.

In my wise eyes, it is simply ridiculous!

Now, it's time to show that guy what true wisdom is.

He stood up and said confidently: "Call everyone, I will personally teach the Lord of the Underworld a lesson and let him know what a real strategy is!"

at the same time.

Underground world.

Zhang He walked over and whispered in Shen Lian's ear, "I found that a spy from the Beidou Society had left. He should have told their master the news of the departure of the twenty people."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, not surprised at all.

It would be surprising if Beidou didn't monitor the underground world.

"Will they fall into our trap? What if they really go after those twenty people?" Zhang He couldn't help but ask.

Shen Lian chuckled and said calmly: "Don't worry, Beidou will not let an idiot to host the mission, and as long as he is not really stupid, he will not fall into the trap."

"They will definitely know that this is a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain."

Zhang He understood: "Then what should we do next?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, picked up a chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard on the table in front of him.
He said, "Next, you hide in the dark, jump out of this chess game, and take a look...when we and them are calculating against each other, is there anyone else behind the scenes monitoring us, or secretly guiding us, or even... secretly controlling them."

Zhang He was stunned: "Master, this is..."

Shen Lian said calmly: "Nothing, I just have a feeling that if Li Wencheng is really very important to Beidou Society, then Beidou Society may not only have more power on the surface."

"Perhaps, someone else has come in person in secret."

"Come in person? Who?"

Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said calmly: "Beichen, I suspect...he has already come to Chang'an."

After receiving Shen Lian's order, Zhang He immediately left secretly.

Shen Lian took out a chess piece from the chess box and dropped it on the chessboard, at a very unique position.

At first glance, this position seems to have nothing to do with the entire chess game. But if a skilled national player were to notice, this chess piece, which seems to have no connection at first glance, actually has a vague relationship with the entire chess game. It seems to have some meaning, but it is hard to grasp easily.

Shen Lian looked at the chess piece that had just fallen, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Beichen, if you really come, then this drama will be really exciting. With your ability to know that I am involved, will you be able to judge that the underground world is already under my control?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head slightly: "Forget it, it's useless to think too much, just try it and you will know."

Zhang He's chess piece has already been planted.

Then, he should start taking action.

"Whether you come or not, I spent so much time and effort designing a plan for your Tiandige leader, and it's time to reap the rewards, so I won't be polite."

Shen Lian stood up and walked straight out.

As he walked, he said, "Lord Li, aren't you anxious to leave? Now the time has come. You don't have to wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. We will send you away from Chang'an tonight."

…………

In the east of Chang'an City, in an ordinary mansion.

Xiong Chenglin, a Beidou Society examinee, was sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed.

Below him, dozens of killers stood there, quietly waiting for something.

"My lord, my lord."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

Then a man in night clothes suddenly rushed into the hall.

As soon as he arrived at the hall, he said directly, "Sir, everything is as you expected. Just now, more than 20 people suddenly came out of one of the three underground world exits we supervised, and one of them was wearing a mask. If nothing unexpected happens, he is most likely the owner of the basement."

"They walked out of the underground world very cautiously, and after leaving, they quickly headed towards the south of the city."

Brush it!
The moment this person finished speaking, Xiong Chenglin, who had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes for a moment.

At this time, everyone else looked at Xiong Chenglin with surprise.

Because this is the same as Xiong Chenglin’s previous inference!
Someone couldn't help but say, "Sir, this is amazing, it's really amazing, that person is just like a god!"

Soon someone echoed, "Yes! The adults said that the underground world would definitely take action, and look, they took action immediately."

"Your Excellency is as good as a god in predicting things. Even Shen Lian can't compare to you."

Some complimented, some were genuinely surprised.

As for Xiong Chenglin, a sneer appeared on his face.

He said disdainfully: "Is this difficult to guess?"

"The Lord of the Underworld is just a little clever. From the moment he showed his weakness, I knew he was just a clever person."

"He sent people to follow us and wanted to kill us all. It can be seen that he is a very decisive and ruthless person!"

"So taking all of this into account, we can understand this person's character. He is the kind of person who is a little clever, but decisive enough!"

"So this time, he used such a crude trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, thinking that he could trick us and divert us away. He definitely would not miss this rare opportunity, so he really left very soon. This matter is not surprising at all."

He pointed to his head and said, "You should also remember this. You should rely on your brain to do things in the future. Don't just think about brute force. Brain is more important! Isn't that right? Now that I know the character of the Lord of the Underground World, I don't have to do anything at all. I just need to wait."

When everyone heard Xiong Chenglin's words, they couldn't help but praise him.

Xiong Chenglin's words were well-reasoned and they all felt that they were very noble.

I admire Xiong Chenglin even more.

And because Xiong Chenglin guessed everything correctly, his self-confidence was completely overflowing.

He sneered, "Tian Quan? Shen Lian? Even if it's you, you don't have the ability like me, right? So, if you lose to me, you're doomed!"

Xiong Chenglin waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Since Li Wencheng and the others have shown up, we should really get to work. Don't you all hate the underground world? This is a good opportunity. Let's wipe them all out and leave no one alive!"

After saying that, he walked out with a swagger and a confident look on his face.

But he didn't know that his own inference of being wise and powerful was actually just Shen Lian's deliberate guidance.

He thought he knew all of Shen Lian's personality traits.

But he didn't know that Shen Lian just let him know this on purpose.

The difference in level between him and Shen Lian is really not a little bit.

If it was Tian Quan, Shen Lian knew that Tian Quan would definitely not fall into the trap so easily.

But Xiong Chenglin...is still inferior to Tianquan after all.

Controlled by Shen Lian, he was stunned. He thought everything was under his control, but he didn't know that everything he did was actually under Shen Lian's control.

Shen Lian doesn't need threats or inducements to control anyone. He uses his brain and wisdom to control everything he wants to control.

…………

It was already dark.

A crescent moon hung in the sky and stars twinkled overhead, but the moonlight was not too bright, making Chang'an city a little dark.

It was already past curfew, so there was almost no one on the road except the night watchmen and the occasional patrolling guards.

Shen Lian was still wearing a mask. He was dressed in black and was moving quickly through the empty streets with the people from the underground world.

Li Wencheng was the same, wearing a nightgown, with a black cloth covering his face, and running quickly with the crowd.

But after running for a while, Li Wencheng couldn't run anymore.

He couldn't help but breathe heavily, stretched out his hands to support the wall, and said, "I can't do it anymore. I'm too tired. Let's...rest for a while."

Li Wencheng had been "taken care of" by the Beggars' Sect before joining the sect, and had many injuries on his body. In addition, he had been frightened all day and had no appetite, so he felt weak and hungry, and he was doomed after running for a while.

Shen Lian stopped, looked at Li Wencheng with a smile, and said, "Master Li, your physical strength is not good enough. If you encounter danger, you won't even be able to escape!"

Li Wencheng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "You are joking, Lord Devil. You have lured the tiger away from the mountain. We are so safe now, how could there be any danger?"

The Devil King...

Li Wencheng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "You are joking, Lord Devil. You have lured the tiger away from the mountain. We are so safe now, how could there be any danger?"

The Devil King...
