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

"Everything they did, where they went, and who they came into contact with must be reported in great detail."

Ah Bao nodded quickly: "I understand."

"besides."

Shen Lian continued, "Let the Jinyiwei secretly watch the post station, and follow anyone who leaves."

"The soldiers in the open are a deterrent and show our attitude, but if someone really has ill intentions, the soldiers may not be able to find out, so letting the Jinyiwei follow is also an additional layer of insurance."

"This is a special period. There are too many envoys and too many concerns. Any one of them may cause diplomatic conflicts between the two countries. So at this time, no matter how cautious we are, it is not excessive."

Abao became more serious and nodded in agreement.

After making all the arrangements, Shen Lian thought about it and reviewed the deployment just now. After making sure there were no problems, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"grown ups."

At this time, Abao suddenly spoke.

"what happened?"

Abao asked, "Is the killing of the Bolor envoys really related to the six Tibetan states?"

"What do you think?" Shen Lian asked without turning his head.

Ah Bao thought about it and then shook his head: "Just now I carefully observed the expressions of the envoys from the six Turkic countries. When the adults took out the badges and said their names, I found that they were almost all surprised."

"It doesn't look like he knows about this."

"Especially the Tubo prince and the Arab envoy. Although they are arrogant, the surprise on their faces does not seem to be fake."

"The envoys from the other four countries also all looked stunned or incredulous. They didn't seem to be pretending."

Shen Lian nodded slightly: "The observation is good, but Xu Gou, you made two mistakes, do you know?"

"Two mistakes?"

He hurriedly said, "Please give me some advice, sir."

Shen Lian said slowly, "First, you underestimated the ability of the envoys. Do you think it is difficult for them to disguise their expressions when they can become envoys and represent the image of a country?"

"Think about Ali. He has disguised himself as many people as he can. How difficult do you think it is for him to pretend to be confused?"

Abao nodded suddenly.

"Second, even if the murderer is really Tubo, who was sent by Tubo to kill, who told you that the mastermind is the Tubo prince? Who told you that the Tubo prince must know about it?"

"What if the envoys who came to the Tang Dynasty are actually two, one open and one secret? The open one attracts our attention, while the secret one is secretly planning something. In this way, the open one may really know nothing."

Suddenly, Abao's eyes widened.

He suspected that some people's expressions might be fake, but he really never thought that there would be two envoys coming, and there would be a difference between light and dark!

He looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Sir, is it true... there are really envoys, are they the light and the dark ones?"

Shen Lian smiled faintly and said calmly: "Don't be so surprised, this is just the most basic operation. As the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket, not to mention that they all came with bad intentions this time."

“So, it’s normal for them to do this.”

"certainly….…"

Seeing Ah Bao's shocked expression, Shen Lian said, "Not everyone is like this. After all, not all countries have the ability to sneak people into our Tang Dynasty without being discovered by us."

"So, no more than ten people at most."

"That's not a small amount..." Abao said dryly.

Shen Lian smiled and said, "It's not much, and I have already prepared some great gifts for these secret envoys. They can't cause any trouble."

"It's just that it's not the time to deal with them yet. Besides, these secret envoys are dangerous when they are mysterious, but once we know about them, they will be useless. Instead, they will use themselves to tell us many secrets."

"Anyway..."

Shen Lian patted Ah Bao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The devil is one foot high, but the Tao is ten feet higher. Chang'an is our territory of the Tang people. It is not their turn to be arrogant."

Abao blinked his eyes. His admiration for his master was like an endless rushing river.

He has almost always followed Shen Lian.

No matter what Shen Lian does, he never leaves his side, and now Shen Lian also intends to train him, so he doesn't hide anything from him.

But even so... he had no idea when his master had prepared such great gifts for those secret envoys.

When will we know which country's envoy has someone secretly involved?

The gap was so huge that it made him despair, and also made him admire Shen Lian even more.

He took a deep breath and said, "Is the murderer really from the six countries?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, "Does it matter whether it is true or not?"

Abao was stunned.

Shen Lian waved his hand: "Okay, if you really want to know, then think about it yourself. Although we don't have a direct clue, logic is a good thing. Everything will conform to a certain logic."

"If you can figure out the logic behind this, you can also figure out who the real murderer is."

"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest."

After Shen Lian finished speaking, he left.

But the Dog stopped where he was, his eyes full of thought.

"logic?"

Ah Bao muttered to himself.

After Shen Lian gave Abao enough hints, he did not delay any longer.

He intends to train Abao, so he is deliberately whetting Abao's appetite at this moment, hoping that Xu Gou can take on some of the responsibilities soon.

Shen Lian stretched and yawned, walking on the deserted street, and suddenly said, "Go keep an eye on someone."

Brush it.

A figure appeared directly beside Shen Lian.

Zhang He, the heir of the robber family, bowed to Shen Lian and asked, "Who?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes: "Japanese envoy."

"Japanese envoy?" Zhang He was a little surprised.

He thought he was at least at the level of the Nanzhao envoy.

But Japan...isn't really a powerful country, right?

Why is there any point in keeping an eye on an envoy from a small country?

Shen Lian seemed to understand what Zhang He was thinking. He said calmly, "Don't underestimate any envoy."

"To be honest, even I almost ignored the Japanese envoy."

"He is really too low-key. He doesn't fight or compete. If he stands in a crowd, you can't find him at all."

"If I hadn't found the badge of the Japanese Ninja Village this time, I would have almost forgotten about him."

"And this... is very wrong." Zhang He looked at Shen Lian in confusion: "Why is it wrong?"

Shen Lian said: "Think about it, these envoys came to the Tang Dynasty for some benefit, so the envoys from small countries are trying their best to make their presence felt."

"Why do they grab the front yard and why are they driven away from the back? It's because they want everyone to know about them, so that when the benefits are distributed, they will be thought of and they will get enough."

"But the Japanese envoy, on the contrary, is too low-key. As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Maybe the conspiracy he has in mind is more terrible than that of Tubo and Daqin."

"So, keep an eye on him. I think he is definitely not a simple person. Many of your subordinates are not in Chang'an City. Others may not be able to keep an eye on him. Only you can make me feel at ease."

When Zhang He heard Shen Lian say that he only believed in his words, he suddenly became extremely excited.

He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Shen, leave this matter to me! I will never let the Japanese envoy escape from my sight!"

Shen Lian nodded slightly and was about to smile when he suddenly stopped.

Zhang He almost bumped into Shen Lian's back. He looked up in confusion: "Master Shen?"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and looked forward.

Zhang He subconsciously looked up.

And the next moment--
"who!?"

He suddenly shouted.

In front of them, in the mist, a hazy figure was standing there.

The figure looked at them quietly. If Shen Lian had not stopped suddenly, Zhang He would not have been able to find this person so quickly in the thick fog.

At this moment, a muffled voice was heard from the other side: "Tian Quan."

"Tianquan!?"

The moment Zhang He heard the name, he got goosebumps.

He drew out his sword in a flash, and with the blade flashing, he nervously aimed it at Yuwen Chengdu opposite him, his eyes sharp and extremely alert!
"Lord Shen, be careful!" Zhang He said nervously.

It was indeed the name Tianquan that put too much pressure on Zhang He!

In Zhang He's opinion, this guy who came back from the dead is simply a scourge that has been around for thousands of years and is still alive!
"Don't worry, Zhang Hyuk."

At this time, Shen Lian's voice rang out. He patted Zhang He on the shoulder and asked Zhang He to relax.

Shen Lian walked forward slowly and came in front of Zhang He. He squinted his eyes and looked at the figure in the mist. He said calmly: "If Tian Quan wanted to harm me, Shen Lian, he wouldn't be standing here waiting for me so openly. Wouldn't it be better to attack her in secret?"

"So since Tianquan dares to wait for me here, it means that at least for now, he has no intention of harming me."

Zhang He instinctively believed what Shen Lian said.

But I'm still a little worried.

After all, Tianquan already has a stereotype in his mind.

This person is not a good person; he is a sinister, cunning and hard to guard against evil villain!

"I feel very honored to be trusted by Shen Lian from the Chu Palace."

At this time, the voice from the other side came again.

Shen Lian chuckled and said calmly: "It's not that I trust you, but I have confidence in my own judgment. Tianquan, this is the essential difference."

"Ah."

Tian Quan chuckled but didn't argue any further.

Shen Lian looked at Tian Quan and said, "Why are you standing so far away? And your voice seems to have changed, is your appearance disfigured and you're afraid I'll see you? Or is your throat also broken and your voice has changed?"

Tianquanli still stood there, without any response to Shen Lian's words.

He is also a smart man, and he has fought with Shen Lian once.

I know how terrifying Shen Lian is.

He knew that every word Shen Lian said might be a test of him, and every one of his responses might be grasped by Shen Lian to find out the key points of his situation.

Even if he was careful enough, sometimes Tianquan was powerless because of the overwhelming IQ.

He thought that there was no flaw in his previous plan, but Shen Lian was able to find a breakthrough.

The lesson he learned that time made him always alert towards Shen Lian and he would never say anything he shouldn't say.

After all, I can come back to life this time. If there is a next time, Shen Lian will never give me such an opportunity again.

He can't gamble, and he doesn't dare to gamble.

When Shen Lian saw that Tian Quan did not respond to him, he sighed in his heart. After dying once, Tian Quan had learned a lot more.

He chuckled and didn't care.

Since probing doesn't work, just ask directly.

Shen Lian looked at Tian Quan and said, "Why don't you go back to sleep at night? Instead, you are waiting for me here. You are not simply missing me and want to see me, Shen Lian, right?"

Zhang He's heart moved and he looked at Tian Quan quickly.

Tian Quan said in a muffled voice: "Shen Lian, you are so smart, you should be able to guess why I came to you, right?"

Shen Lian smiled and said calmly: "All nations are coming to pay tribute?"

"Really smart."

Tian Quan nodded with emotion: "I really can't hide anything from you."

Shen Lian chuckled and continued, "Are you trying to tell me that Beichen is colluding with certain envoys? For example, Nanzhao?"

"Do you know Nanzhao?" Tianquan's voice changed for the first time.

Shen Lian said calmly: "I, Shen Lian, know a lot. When you died, I tricked Beichen and got a lot of confidential information about Beidou Society. I know that Nanzhao is already under the control of Beidou Society. So the envoy sent by Nanzhao this time must be related to Beichen."

Tianquan was silent for a long time.

I couldn't help but shook my head and said with emotion: "It's really something you can do!"

"The Beidou Society is extremely mysterious and powerful. Even though I have been there for so many years, I have not really mastered many secrets. However, you were able to cause Beichen to suffer such a huge loss in such a short period of time, and you were able to obtain these secrets. Shen Lian... you really didn't let me down."

Shen Lian shook his head and said, "Don't act like you and I have a very good relationship. I haven't let you down yet... What I did was for myself and for the country of the Tang Dynasty. It has nothing to do with you."

Tian Quan laughed: "Whether it has anything to do with me or not, if you can make Beichen suffer, that's a good thing for me."

He took a deep breath and said, "Okay, let's get down to business. If we meet here for too long, it will attract the attention of the Beidou Society."

"The Beidou Society has been passed down for thousands of years, and its foundation is far beyond your imagination. Your previous fight against Beichen did cause the Beidou Society to lose a lot of strength, but that was not enough to cause any serious damage to the Beidou Society."

"So there are still many spies of the Beidou Society in Chang'an City, so I will make it short."

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "I came to you because I have two things to tell you."

"First, Beichen is indeed related to the envoys coming to Tang this time. He also has his own plans. After all, the mission of the Beidou Society is to control the overall situation of the world. There is no doubt that the envoys coming to Tang this time are enough to change the overall situation of the world!"

"So the Beidou Association will definitely put in a lot of effort, and Beichen will definitely do it himself, but Beichen and Nanzhao should not have much to do with each other."
