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

Brush it!
As soon as Park Jincheng finished speaking, everyone's eyes instantly fell on Shen Lian.

The Tibetan prince Qihela had a playful smile on his face, and the Arab envoy Anthony also looked at Shen Lian with sharp eyes.

Nanzhao envoy Wang Chengdao narrowed his eyes slightly, also waiting for Shen Lian's reaction.

Some envoys looked gloating.

Some envoys looked nervous.

They were all waiting for Shen Lian's reaction.

Because Shen Lian's subsequent reaction was tantamount to showing the attitude of the Tang Dynasty.

After all, the Tang Dynasty is strong and no one is allowed to criticize it.

Or can they really dig out a piece of meat from the Tang Dynasty?

Next, it depends on Shen Lian’s response.

Abao and Ali also looked at Shen Lian nervously at this time.

Li Xiangyin frowned, his face full of disbelief, as if he had never expected that an envoy from a country would say such a ridiculous thing and put forward such unreasonable conditions.

But when he saw the other envoys, no one spoke up to rebuke him.

What does this mean?
Maybe they knew in advance that this person would say such a thing.

Perhaps, they had the same idea.

At this moment, a surge of anger suddenly rose up in Li Xiangyin's heart.

He couldn't help but look at his mentor.

He just felt that his mentor was like standing in front of a wolf, tiger or cheetah. The people in front of him were staring at his mentor with eager eyes, as if they would swallow him up if his mentor just nodded.

So....Teacher, what would you do?

Li Xiangyin suddenly remembered what his mentor had said before.

"Don't forget how we got the land under our feet. It was not obtained by being good-tempered and asking others for charity, but by the blood of countless ancestors. So..."

"We, the later generations, must not let our ancestors down."

My dear teacher, you will definitely not let our predecessors down!

He firmly believes it!

The entire hall of the post station was eerily quiet at this moment!
Everyone held their breath, looking at Shen Lian, waiting for Shen Lian's answer.

Baekje envoy Park Jincheng looked at Shen Lian with a half-smile and continued, "Commander Shen, hasn't your Tang Dynasty always claimed to love peace? Now is the time to prove your sincerity. I think that for the sake of peace and stability in the world, and for the people to be free from the ravages of war, your Tang Dynasty should be willing to pay such a small price, right?"

There was fire in Abao's eyes.

He gripped the knife handle tightly, wishing he could chop Park Jincheng in half with one blow.

Ali's eyes also turned red.

Li Xiangyin and Zhao Hai, the Minister of Honglu Temple, were also filled with indignation.

If looks could kill, Park Jincheng would have been cut into pieces.

But no one of them could speak at this time. No one could speak.

Because Shen Lian is here.

Shen Lian is the representative of the Tang Dynasty, so they cannot speak casually. Otherwise, if they say a wrong word, it will bring trouble to Shen Lian.

Therefore, no matter how angry they were, they could only grit their teeth and wait for Shen Lian's response.

"Ah."

At this moment, a soft laugh suddenly came out of Shen Lian's mouth.

Shen Lian looked at Park Jincheng calmly. The expression on his face was the same as before, as if there was no change at all because of Park Jincheng's words.

He looked up at Park Jincheng, still with his signature smile on his face, and said, "I think what you said makes sense. If we give other countries some territory and let them expand their land area, they will not envy other countries, and this will ensure peace, right?"

Park Jincheng was stunned.

He didn't seem to expect that Shen Lian would actually agree with him, and he had already prepared many twisted reasons to refute Shen Lian.

Who knew that Shen Lian would respond like this.

This made him stunned for a moment, and then his face was filled with a smug smile. He thought that Shen Lian had surrendered to him under pressure from all the envoys!

This made him nod his head in delight: "That's right! Isn't there a saying in your Tang Dynasty that what is worrying is not the lack of land but the imbalance of land? As long as everyone's land area is about the same size, naturally no one will covet it, and peace can be guaranteed."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, smiling even more: "I agree with you."

"so……."

He suddenly turned his eyes to the other two envoys and said slowly: "Goguryeo, Silla, our Tang Dynasty feels that what the Baekje envoy said makes sense, so our Tang Dynasty is willing to help you Goguryeo and Silla, provide you with assistance, help you destroy Baekje, and then swallow up Baekje's territory, expand your own territory, and thus ensure peace in the world. What do you think?"

Brush it!
All the envoys' eyes suddenly widened and they were stunned for a moment.

The Tibetan prince Qihela looked at Shen Lian in confusion, and the Arab envoy Anthony was also a little shocked.

Wang Chengdao, the Nanzhao envoy, narrowed his eyes.

The envoys from Goguryeo and Silla were stunned for a moment, and then their faces suddenly lit up with joy.

As for the Nanzhao envoy Pu Jincheng, he was stunned for a moment and then his face turned pale.

He seemed to have never expected Shen Lian to say such a thing.

He originally thought that the Tang Dynasty would bow down under the coercion of himself and others, but he never imagined that the Tang Dynasty would actually unite with Goguryeo and Silla to destroy his own Baekje!
But when he saw the appearance of the envoys from Goguryeo and Silla, his heart suddenly sank.

He knew that Goguryeo and Silla were tempted.

After all, there were only three countries occupying that peninsula, and they were constantly fighting with each other. Everyone wanted to swallow up the other, but because each of the three countries was afraid of one of them becoming too powerful, they maintained a delicate balance.

But now, Shen Lian's words were about to break this balance in an instant.

If Goguryeo and Silla join forces, Baekje will surely perish without the help of the Tang Dynasty!
Thinking of this, the Baekje envoy trembled all over.

"You...you...you, you are blatantly violating the spirit of peace! You, the Tang Dynasty, are actually trying to provoke a war!"

Park Jincheng said hurriedly and tremblingly.

Shen Lian smiled lightly upon hearing this. He said calmly, "Didn't you come up with this idea? I just moved to a different place. We want to expand our territory anyway, so it doesn't matter where we get it from. And the Tang Dynasty is also helping us. Isn't this also showing our sincerity? After all, the Tang Dynasty didn't gain any benefit from this!"

“You…you…”

Park Jincheng opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute.

This made him look ashen.

When the other envoys saw this scene, they were all shocked.

Who could have thought that facing the aggressive situation just now, Shen Lian actually made great efforts with just a few moves and directly put Baekje on the verge of national danger of destruction!

Cruel! Really cruel!
It’s really strong!

This way of dealing with things not only shocked people, but also won over Goguryeo and Silla!

However, Baekje, which was the first to attack the Tang Dynasty, might be doomed!

This immediately frightened many envoys with ill intentions, and for a time, they did not dare to take direct action against the Tang Dynasty, for fear of becoming the next Baekje!
The atmosphere of the entire Parliament of Nations suddenly changed.

When Si She, Li Xiangyin and others saw this scene, they were extremely excited and their eyes were shining as they looked at Shen Lian.

They knew that Shen Lian would never let their ancestors down, and Shen Lian would never let the Tang Dynasty lose an inch of land!

Shen Lian will never allow others to treat the Tang Dynasty as a piece of fat meat!

Now that Baekje is in front, anyone else who wants to deal with the Tang Dynasty must consider their own abilities!
If these countries had formed an alliance before, Shen Lian would not have been able to deal with Baekje in this way. The envoys of other countries would certainly speak for Baekje. No matter how strong the Tang Dynasty was, it could not face the pressure of more than a hundred countries at the same time. But now...
Shen Lian used various means to make the alliance among the countries fall apart, and they were extremely wary of each other, so there was no basis for cooperation.

Therefore, Baekje was pushed to the forefront by Shen Lian, and no one spoke for Baekje.

Baekje is really in a dilemma now.

Shen Lian, who was pushing this incident to happen, leaned back, holding a teacup, and looked at Park Jincheng leisurely. His face was calm and composed, as if he was watching a play, as if the protagonist of the play just now was not him.

Abao and others looked at the comparison between the two and just wanted to say that there would be no harm without comparison!

Look at how calm and indifferent the adults were when they were being stared at by everyone just now.

Look at how nervous and frightened the Baekje envoys are now as they are being stared at by everyone.

Make a decision!

"Commander Shen."

at this time,

The Tibetan prince Qihela suddenly frowned and said, "You don't have to be so aggressive. The Baekje envoy is just making an opinion for the sake of peace. Since you don't accept it, just be generous and let it go. Why are you so aggressive?"

Upon hearing this, Baekje envoy Park Jincheng's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly, "That's right, you said you can speak freely, I was just talking casually. Since you don't agree, then we can talk about something else. Lord Qin, can your Tang Dynasty be so narrow-minded?"

"Ah!"

Shen Lian laughed again.

He was really pissed off and laughed.

He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone so shameless!
Shen Lian glanced at Qihela and curled his lips. It was not the time to deal with him yet.

Then Shen Lian looked at Park Jincheng again. He was smiling, but the smile did not reach his eyes. Instead, it was the coldness in his eyes that made Park Jincheng tremble all over.

At this time, he heard Shen Lian say calmly: "This is called being narrow-minded. Then I will show you what it means to be truly narrow-minded!"

"A leopard!"

Ah Bao nodded hurriedly: "I'm here."

Shen Lian didn't even raise his eyelids, and said calmly: "Take him away and chop him off."

"What!?"

All the envoys were stunned.

Park Jincheng was also shocked.

At this time, Shen Lian put the teacup on the table, making a crisp sound.

He said calmly: "Don't move. Anyone who stops us or moves at this time is showing hostility to our Tang Dynasty. I have the right to deal with them!"

"As for why I want to kill Park Jincheng, I will explain it to you in a moment!"

After saying that, he leaned back, closed his eyes, and said indifferently: "Why don't you do it?"

Hearing this, Ah Bao immediately grinned, glanced at Pu Jincheng with a gloomy gaze, and said with great joy in his heart: "Your officer obeys!"

Abao was very arrogant and rude, and he pulled the Baekje envoy Park Jincheng out of his seat.

Park Jincheng shouted, "What are you trying to do? I am an envoy of Baekje. I represent the country of Baekje. How dare you treat me like this? Do you want to go to war with Baekje?"

He was shouting and yelling.

The sound continued to echo in the hall.

But no one responded to him.

Shen Lian closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

The Tibetan Crown Prince Qihela and others had solemn expressions on their faces. They looked at Shen Lian with his eyes closed and resting, and had no idea what Shen Lian was thinking.

So for a moment, everyone was hesitant.

And Abao would never waste time talking to Park Jincheng.

Park Jincheng’s ridiculous remarks just now had already made him extremely angry, but he couldn’t take any action without the order from his superiors.

Now that the Lord has asked him to deal with Park Jincheng personally, he is so surprised that he doesn't even have time to bother with this shameless man who covets the Tang Dynasty!
"Anyone who offends the Tang Dynasty must be punished!"

Abao snorted in his heart and dragged Park Jincheng out.

Then, not long after, a scream was suddenly heard.

puff!

Soon, there was no sound outside.

All the envoys in the hall felt a chill on their backs at this moment, and their faces turned pale.

They never thought that Shen Lian would actually dare... actually dare to kill an envoy of a country in front of them!
Without any hesitation at all!

Not even a hint of hesitation!

this…….
Shen Lian's cruelty made them tremble in their hearts.

When they looked at Shen Lian again, there was a bit more awe in their eyes, instead of the blatant malice and covetousness.

There were footsteps outside.

Abao strode into the hall. His toes were stained with some red blood, but he looked refreshed.

Walking to Shen Lian's side, he bowed to him in front of everyone and said, "Sir, I have already separated his head."

Shen Lian didn't even open his eyes, just said "hmm" lightly.

The huge hall was eerily quiet at this moment.

You can hear the needle drop!

The envoys were all silent.

Some are nervous and fearful.

Some are confused and suspicious.

After all, an envoy of a country can be killed at will... This doesn't seem right no matter how you look at it. Isn't Shen Lian afraid of causing dissatisfaction among other envoys?

After all, there are envoys from more than a hundred countries here.

Isn’t Shen Lian afraid of causing trouble for the Tang Dynasty?

The envoys were all very suspicious.

In fact, let alone them, Zhao Hai and others also didn’t know why Shen Lian dared to directly chop Park Jincheng.

Of course, Park Jincheng was really hateful, and they hated him so much that their teeth itched.

But the current situation is very unfavorable for the Tang Dynasty. After all, these envoys are all here. Even if they no longer cooperate, they still have some sense of identity because of their status as envoys.

Therefore, the Tang Dynasty's treatment of Baekje envoys would inevitably make them feel grief-stricken.

Therefore, this is very likely to push those countries to the opposite side of the Tang Dynasty again.

Therefore, if it were Zhao Hai, he might have to swallow his anger for the sake of the overall situation. After all, this is the best solution.

But Shen Lian just chopped the man to death!
This...why?

Why did Shen Lian dare to do this?
