Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

This steel knife belongs to no one else but a Tibetan guard!
At the moment when the soldier from the Arab Empire was about to fall off the ring and lose, the Tibetan guards actually threw the weapons in their hands and sent the soldier from the Arab Empire to hell!

At this moment, there was silence around the ring.

The eyes of the envoys from various countries suddenly widened, and their faces were filled with shock and disbelief.

It was obvious that they never expected that the Tibetan guards would be so vicious. They wanted to kill the Arab soldiers even though they had already lost!
This...immediately made the envoys from various countries feel frightened.

The Tibetans are too ruthless and cruel!

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, but there was not much surprise in his expression. Isn't that the character of Tibetans?

Likes to use absolute violence to show his strength.

The Tang Dynasty and Tubo had been neighbors for so many years that the Tang Dynasty had long seen through Tubo's true nature.

So when Tubo took action, Shen Lian had already guessed the result.

only…….
Normally, Tubo is so vicious and brutal, but it is no use to deal with small countries. Small countries can only endure it because they are intimidated by Tubo's strength.

But...our opponent this time is the Arab Empire!

It is a superpower spanning the three major countries of Asia, Europe and Africa!

He is an opponent that even the Tang Dynasty must take seriously!

In fact, there is still some gap between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty. It’s just that the Tibetans are ruthless, have high individual combat power, and have extremely high mobility, so they have caused a lot of trouble to the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, such a Tubo was so cruel and brutal to the Arab Empire, which was obviously stronger than it. The Arab Empire... Shen Lian did not think that it would bow its head.

as predicted.

Anthony, the Arab envoy, glared at Qihela and said sternly, "Prince of Tubo, you are going too far. Our soldiers have clearly lost, but you still want to kill them! Don't you think you are too cruel?"

Upon hearing this, Qihela sneered and said, "We Tubo men never care about winning or losing, we only care about having children. I, Tubo, despise playing house games like winning or losing! So, if you dare to compete with me, Tubo, you must be prepared to die!"

"The result is obvious now. Your country of Daqin is not strong enough, and you were killed. Who can you blame?"

"you……."

Anthony clenched his fists and the veins on his face were exposed.

In his heart, he wanted to curse Qihela to death.

This big idiot!
Why would we ever consider cooperating with you, Tubo, before?

Depend on!
We are so blind!

Anthony was furious, but Qihela ignored him. He turned his head arrogantly, came to Shen Lian, and said, "We won. Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard should be ours, right?"

Shen Lian glanced at Anthony and saw that Anthony's face was ashen and his eyes were full of hatred and anger.

He glanced at the other envoys out of the corner of his eye.

Those envoys were either afraid of, wary of, or resentful of Tubo.

He smiled slightly and said, "Of course, since Tubo won Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard with its strength, it is natural that they can move in!"

Qihela smiled complacently, without looking at any other envoys, and just walked towards Tiangang No. 1 Courtyard in a swagger.

Shen Lian watched Qihela and the others leave, then looked at Anthony and said with a smile: "Messengers from the Arab Empire, it's just a fight, it doesn't mean anything, and Courtyard No. 2 is not much different, the decoration inside is no different."

"As the saying goes, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one, so I hope the envoys from the Arab Kingdom can relax. Tiangang Courtyard No. 2 belongs to you now."

Anthony looked at the smiling Shen Lian, his eyes flickered, and said: "Shen Lian, don't think I don't know what you are up to... But Tubo is going too far. This time, even if I know your conspiracy, I will cooperate with you!"

"Tubo, I will settle this account sooner or later!"

After saying this, he also left quickly with his guards.

Looking at Anthony's departing back, Shen Lian said with a smile: "Abao, did you see that? None of these guys are stupid, they are all smart!"

"But even so, they still followed my plan obediently. Do you know why?"

Ah Bao thought about it, then asked: "Human heart?"

Shen Lian smiled and nodded: "Yes, human heart! The human heart is very mysterious, but it is nothing more than various thoughts, for fame, for profit, for power, for love..."

"As long as they are human, they can't escape these thoughts. So, as long as we can grasp this point, no matter how crude the design is, they will still join in obediently."

"For example, my plan this time, they could see at a glance that I was deliberately dividing them, making them fight each other and create grudges... They all understood, but what? They still did it obediently, even fighting each other to the death, and completely forged a mortal enemy."

"What I used was the characteristic of 'for fame', but this fame is not an individual's, but a country's! An individual can lose face, but a country's reputation must not be lost! And they are envoys, representing the reputation of a country, so... even if they know my plan, they can't do anything about it. After all, when they represent the image of a country, they have no way out."

Shen Lian continued to arrange accommodation, and said, "During this period of time, you should follow me and learn and watch how I travel between the countries and how I make alliances. In the future, you will be able to stand on your own, so it is best for you to have some skills like this."

Upon hearing this, Abao knew that the adult was going to teach him personally.

He was overjoyed and quickly bowed to Shen Lian, paying homage to him as a student pays homage to his teacher.

He will always remember the friendship between him and his teacher.

"Okay, the most interesting part has already been watched, and the rest of the part is not interesting anymore."

Shen Lian stood up and said to Zhao Hai, the Minister of Honglu Temple: "Mr. Zhao, I'll leave the rest to you. If someone fights for the same house, just like Tubo and Daqin before, let them fight on the ring. Don't take the initiative to resolve the conflict for them."

"Remember, what we do is to be absolutely objective and fair, and not to be partial to anyone. As the saying goes, what is worrying is not the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth. In this way, no one will come to trouble you."

Although Zhao Hai is the Minister of the Honglu Temple, one of the Nine Ministers, Shen Lian is the King of Chu's man. Although he does not have an official position, in terms of invisibility, he is the King of Chu's man, one level lower than Shen Lian, so he is at least one level lower than Shen Lian.

Hearing Shen Lian's words at this time, he did not dare to feel embarrassed and nodded quickly.

Shen Lian walked out slowly, when someone suddenly called his name.

Shen Lian paused slightly, turned his head and saw that the person who called him was Wang Chengdao, the envoy of Nanzhao.

He tilted his head and said, "Envoy from Nanzhao, is there something wrong?"

Wang Chengdao walked over with a smile, looked at Shen Lian, and said, "Commander Shen is very skilled. He has caused the alliance to fall apart without making any noise. I admire you!"

Shen Lian asked in bewilderment: "What alliance? Why don't I understand?"

Wang Chengdao's eyes flickered for a moment, and then he continued, "Nothing. I called Commander Shen because someone wanted me to convey a message to Commander Shen."

"Oh!"

Shen Lian nodded and said, "I won't listen!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

That speed is astonishingly fast.

Almost in the blink of an eye, we were out of the post station.

Wang Chengdao was left standing there in bewilderment, the smile on his face frozen. He looked extremely messy.

no…….
You, you, why don't you play by the rules?

Shouldn't you be curious about who is bringing you what message?
Wang Chengdao had a lot to complain about.

But Shen Lian had disappeared long ago.

He was stunned for a long time, then couldn't help but stamp his feet: "Damn!"

sunset.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the street, as if laying a red carpet for the land under Shen Lian's feet.

Shen Lian walked slowly with a calm expression, not at all showing the complacency that he had just shown for scheming against envoys from more than seventy countries.

He seemed to be just playing a game of chess, and his calmness made Xu Gou deeply moved.

Abao felt that if he were in the position of an adult, he would be extremely proud of himself for having used his conspiracy to scheme against more than seventy countries with ill intentions, and for having made the two leading countries, the Arab Empire and Tubo, become mortal enemies!
After all, these countries came to the Tang Dynasty with ulterior motives. They all coveted the Tang Dynasty and came to plot against it!

Now I have directly given them a warning and destroyed their alliance. No matter how you look at it, this is a great achievement.

This alone is enough to make him famous and gain great credit.

Therefore, if Abao could achieve all these himself, he would definitely be extremely proud, after all, this represents so many things.

But what about adults?

But he was yawning lazily, without any energy at all, let alone a smug look.

It was as if everything that had been done today was not worth the adults' attention.

This made Abao feel both emotional and admiring.

Look, this is the difference in ideological awareness, vision, and level.

Compared with adults, I am still far behind.

Shen Lian didn't know that Xu Gou had already praised him in his heart. He was really a little sleepy.

These days, he has really put a lot of thought into preparing for the upcoming tribute from all nations.

It seems like a piece of cake today, all thanks to the previous planning and preparation.

Shen Lian is not a god, he is a human being, so there are many things that cannot be done with just a thought, he has to do them personally.

As a result, he hasn't had a good rest in recent times.

Today, envoys began to arrive one after another. He had finally completed the preliminary preparations and could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh, Prime Minister Du is here to watch the show too?"

Shen Lian yawned and saw Du Ruhui climbing the wall, and teased with a smile.

Du Ruhui climbed down from the wall somewhat awkwardly and said, "Well... there are too many people in the yard. I am afraid that if I go over there it will affect your plan, so I will just take a look from here."

Shen Lian smiled lazily and didn't care.

As long as Du Ruhui doesn't fall off the wall, he can just rely on himself.

However, there is no such thing as fraud in this era, so I should be safe.

Du Ruhui had no idea that Shen Lian almost lumped him in with the bad old man who was scamming people. He walked to Shen Lian's side, looked at Shen Lian's expression full of emotion, and couldn't help but say: "The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves!"

"If it were me, I would never be able to create dissension among them and break up their alliance as soon as they arrive here!"

"Commander Shen, I really admire you."

Shen Lian smiled lightly and said lazily, "Your Highness taught me well. However, this is just the beginning. Prime Minister Du can save these compliments and praise them together in the future. I will prepare tea for Prime Minister Du to ensure that he will not be thirsty. At the same time, I will find a document to record Prime Minister Du's compliments. I will study them every day to motivate myself and pass them on as a family heirloom to future generations. Tell them, look... this is Prime Minister Du's compliments!"

Du Ruhui and Abao were both stunned.

What the hell kind of operation is this?
When Du Ruhui thought about Shen Lian's descendants reading his flattering words, he got goosebumps all over his body.

He quickly smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander Shen, please stop joking. I am old and cannot keep up with Commander Shen's thinking."

He was worried that if Shen Lian continued to talk, he would really ask him to brag about an heirloom to Shen Lian, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "When I saw Commander Shen coming out just now, he was stopped by the Nanzhao envoy. I heard Commander Shen say before that Nanzhao...seems to have some relationship with Beidou. So, does this Nanzhao envoy have any conspiracy?"

Shen Lian glanced at Du Ruhui.

Du Ruhui felt that his guilty heart was instantly seen through by Shen Lian's eyes. This made Du Ruhui feel completely insecure in front of Shen Lian. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and was so embarrassed that he could hardly laugh.

Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth and then looked away.

He said calmly, "That guy just stopped me and said someone wanted him to tell me something."

"There's someone? Who? What message?" Du Ruhui asked hurriedly.

Shen Lian shook his head and said lazily: "I don't know."

"do not know?"

Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Is it that I can't say it? I understand, Commander Shen, don't worry about it. I understand, I understand everything."

"..."

You know the shit!

You're totally missing the point.

Shen Lian said helplessly: "Prime Minister Du, I am telling the truth. I really don't know. He wanted to say it, but I told him that I didn't want to listen, and then I left, so I really don't know."

"what???"

Du Ruhui's expression at this moment was the same as Wang Chengdao's before, completely confused.

He said, “Why don’t you listen?”

Abao also looked at Du Ruhui. To be honest, he was also very curious.

Why don't adults listen? What if what they say is important?
Shen Lian said calmly: "Whether I listen or not, I know what they are going to say, so why should I waste my time listening to them?"

"What? The adults know?" Abao asked hurriedly.

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "There are only two situations."

"The first one is that Beichen asked them to bring a message to me, but Beichen is a sinister person. Eleven out of ten of his words are false. Listening to him will only interfere with my judgment, so it's better not to listen!"
