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

Chapter 332 Don’t bother making assumptions!

Isn't he afraid that this one chop will burn all his previous efforts to ashes?

Zhao Hai couldn't help but look at Shen Lian. He didn't know why Shen Lian did this.

Perhaps, only Li Xiangyin and Abao can understand some of Shen Lian's practices.

Shen Lian would not allow anyone to insult the empire that his ancestors had fought for with their lives and blood.

Even if it's just one sentence.

Countless ancestors have sacrificed countless lives for the land beneath their feet and for the people living on this land to live with dignity.

The whole mountain and river is covered in blood!

The land is black, stained by countless blood!
It was this blood that gave the Tang Dynasty dignity and made everyone respect it.

But the words of Baekje envoy Park Geum-seong were tantamount to the greatest insult ever given to this land!

Shen Lian, how could I tolerate this!
This has nothing to do with interests.

This is about dignity! The dignity of the country, the dignity of the people, and the dignity of our ancestors!

Therefore, Shen Lian did not make the same choice as Zhao Hai.

He chose to tell all foreigners his attitude and the attitude of the Tang Dynasty in the most rigid and direct way!

You can covet our Tang Dynasty, but if you want to truly gain benefits, you have to fight with blood!

The sword of the Tang Dynasty is always ready!

The air was silent, and the pressure made people feel uncomfortable.

I don’t know how much time had passed, but the Tubo Prince Qihela suddenly slammed the table and spoke with a cold face.

"Shen Lian, I think you should give us all an explanation. The Baekje envoy just made a suggestion. You don't need to accept direct opposition. Why did you do such a cruel thing!"

"Just kill him! Do you still want to continue this parliament of nations?"

Anthony, the envoy of the Arab Empire, also said, "Yes, this move by the Tang Dynasty is too overbearing, isn't it? Just because the Tang Dynasty disagrees, they will arbitrarily kill the envoy!"

"What? If the Tang Dynasty is not satisfied with our suggestions, they will kill us all one by one?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the emotions of all the envoys were instantly aroused.

The death of Park Jincheng had already made these envoys nervous and worried, and when they heard Anthony's words, they were all shocked.

Yes!

Shen Lian was able to kill the Baekje envoy, so... would I also be killed?

Due to their lack of security, they quickly developed hostility towards Shen Lian!

When Zhao Hai saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat.

The worst-case scenario I imagined actually happened.

Moreover, the envoys from Tubo and Daqin knew how to take advantage of this opportunity. They directly seized the opportunity of Shen Lian's killing and, with just a few words, they were able to gather the strength of these envoys again.

As a result, the envoys who had just been dispersed could not gather together again.

For Shen Lian, wouldn't this mean that all his efforts have been in vain?
Zhao Hai was extremely nervous.

But Shen Lian still didn't open his eyes at this time. His expression didn't change, and his voice was neither hurried nor slow: "I have just said that I will give you a reasonable explanation in an hour, so please wait patiently..."

"But what if the explanation doesn't satisfy us?" Qihela asked.

Shen Lian raised his eyelids at this time, and looked at Qihela, then smiled and said lazily: "You will be satisfied."

"But what if you are not satisfied?"

"I won't be dissatisfied."

Shen Lian was very confident, so confident that it seemed as if what he said was not a prediction at all, but a fact that had already happened.

He said: "I don't bother to make assumptions about things that are impossible."

Qihela said with a gloomy face: "I am not so easy to fool, Shen Lian, if you can't satisfy me, I must--"

"Report!"

At this moment, before Qihela could finish his words, a guard suddenly rushed into the hall.

He bowed to Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen, Dali Temple's Qin Shaoqing wants to see you. Qin Shaoqing said that someone reported that some bodies that had been dead for many days were found deep in Taiji Mountain, and after investigation..."

The guard paused for a moment, then looked at Shen Lian and said, "Those corpses seem to be envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty, and... they seem to be envoys from Baekje."

"What!?"

He stood up in a flash.

His eyes widened and his face was filled with shock.

The other envoys also widened their eyes in disbelief.

“This…this is impossible!”

Qihela looked at Shen Lian fiercely: "Shen Lian, is this a trick you played?"

Shen Lian laughed, "After dealing with Pu Jincheng, I rested here. Have you ever seen me go out? On the contrary, some of you envoys went out to the toilet. Why don't you say you are playing some tricks?"

"I….…"

The fit was suddenly stagnant.

Indeed, Shen Lian had been lying there lazily, not talking to anyone, so it was impossible for him to have done it.

Moreover, the body was found deep in Mount Taiji, so it could not have been a temporary forgery.

So…….
Could it be that this Baekje envoy is really fake?
So, that's why Shen Lian killed him so easily?
wrong…….
Qihela’s eyes widened...How did Shen Lian know that the person was fake?
When did he find out?

What the hell does this happen?

He was a little bewildered.

Shen Lian raised his lips and stood up slowly: "Let's go, Qin Shaoqing is here, I guess the body has also been delivered, let's go take a look."

After saying that, he walked out slowly.

Ah Bao followed Shen Lian out first. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Sir, is this... something you prepared in advance?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I am not a god, how could I know in advance that I would kill the Baekje envoy today?"

"That….…"

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly and said meaningfully: "This is a letter of surrender, used to show sincerity. Now it seems that it not only shows his sincerity, but also allows me to see his strength."

"It seems that my cooperation with Tianquan has been officially established."

Suddenly, Ah Bao's eyes widened: "This was done by... Tian Quan?"

Shen Lian did not answer Abao because other envoys also followed him out.

He was afraid that others would hear it, so he stopped talking about it.

Abao also noticed the envoys behind him, so he stopped talking and followed Shen Lian in silence.

Although Shen Lian did not answer him, Abao knew the truth from Shen Lian's reaction.

This was definitely done by Tianquan.

Moreover, it was Tianquan who rushed here to help his master!

The reason why my master dealt with Park Jincheng so unscrupulously was because he knew that Tianquan would take the initiative to help him settle the matter.

Although he didn't know why the Lord was so sure that Tianquan would take action.

But now it seems that the crisis of this matter has passed.

This made Abao feel relieved.

Everyone came to the courtyard.

Then some runners from the Dali Temple were seen standing in the courtyard.

Qin Ziyi, who was wearing an official uniform, came forward as soon as he saw Shen Lian: "Commander Shen, I am late."

Shen Lian nodded slightly, and he got straight to the point: "Just now I heard that you found some corpses in Taiji Mountain. Could they be envoys from Baekje?"

The envoys behind him immediately looked at Qin Ziyi.

Qin Ziyi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, just last night, someone came to report that some corpses were found in Taiji Mountain, and then I immediately sent people to investigate."

"Afterwards, we transported the bodies to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen. After the coroner examined them, we found that these people had died three days ago. However, their faces had been destroyed, so it was difficult for us to recognize them."

"Later, we checked their clothes and the things they carried with them and finally determined that they might be envoys from Baekje."

The Tibetan prince Qihela asked directly: "What do you think they are Baekje's envoys? You said that their appearance was destroyed and their identities were unrecognizable. So how can you be sure that they are Baekje's envoys?"

Everyone else nodded quickly.

Qin Ziyi glanced at Qihela and when he saw that he was a Tibetan, his expression turned a little colder.

The Tang Dynasty and Tubo disliked each other.

Qin Ziyi said: "Since I dare to make such a conclusion, I must have evidence!"

"First, let's take a look..."

At this time, Qin Ziyi brought them to a corpse. He tore off the clothes on the corpse's arm, and then found an unknown fish tattoo on the arm. "

Qin Ziyi said: "Baekje lives by the sea and makes its living from the sea, so the gods of the ocean are their beliefs. Officials of Baekje would have tattoos of the gods of the ocean on their arms to pray for the gods of the ocean to protect them."

Qihela frowned: "Really?"

Shen Lian chuckled: "It is not the fault of His Highness Tubo to be ignorant, but I can suggest that Your Highness ask the envoys of Goguryeo and Silla. They are adjacent to Baekje and should know the most."

Qihela was ridiculed by Shen Lian for his ignorance and his face looked extremely ugly, but he couldn't refute it.

He snorted coldly, then looked at the envoys from Goguryeo and Silla and asked, "Is that so?"

The envoys from Goguryeo and Silla both nodded.

“Baekje has this tradition.”

Qihela snorted coldly, his face looked a little bad, and he said: "Even if what you said is right, but a tattoo can be done by other people, right? It can also be forged."

"No no no."

Shen Lian said calmly: "Tattoos can be forged, but the age of the tattoo cannot be forged."

"We can find someone familiar with tattoos to check and see how many years the tattoo has been there. If it was just done, then it's naturally suspicious. But if it's been there for a few years, then it must be a Baekje official... No one objects to this, right?"

The envoys thought about it and then shook their heads.

After all, no one knew that the Baekje envoy would be the first to attack, and no one knew that Shen Lian would chop people down without saying a word.

Therefore, if this was really forged by Shen Lian, then the tattoo could only have been made within the past few days.

If it had been a few years, no one would have known about the existence of the Parliament of Nations, so this could naturally be ruled out.

"I know a little bit about tattoos."

At this time, the Japanese envoy stood up and said, "Let me take a look."

Shen Lian looked at the Japanese envoy who had little presence, narrowed his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Of course."

"But one person's words can easily be false, so why not find a few more people so that everyone can be completely assured."

The envoys certainly agreed.

Soon, envoys from several other countries came out, all of which were from countries that had the custom of tattooing totems.

They examined it together and discussed it with each other for a while.

Then someone said: "According to our estimation, this tattoo is at least ten years old."

Qihela's eyes widened in disbelief: "Really?"

He always felt that Shen Lian killed the real envoy, and he always felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

But it’s not possible that all of these envoys are lying, right?

Not to mention, there are envoys who are inclined towards him.

So.....could it be that I was wrong?

Could it be that the envoy that Shen Lian killed before was really fake?
If that were the case, they would once again miss the opportunity to deal with Shen Lian, and also miss the rare opportunity to rally other envoys.

This made him look very ugly.

Anthony and the others also had the same expression.

But in fact, it is true.

Qin Ziyi felt happy when he saw Qihela’s unhappy expression.

He said, "Your Highness, the Tibetan Crown Prince, do you have any questions?"

"Hmph!" Qihela snorted coldly and did not respond.

Qin Ziyi sneered and continued, "In addition, we also found a letter on someone. This letter was written by the King of Baekje and had the seal of the King of Baekje on it. I think it was because the letter was kept close to the person that it was not stolen by the thieves. And this... has become the ironclad evidence to identify them."

As he said this, he took out the letter.

Everyone looked quickly and found that they didn't know much about the Baekje language.

But they were all familiar with that seal.

The Goguryeo envoy said, "It is indeed the seal of the Baekje king. I have seen it in Goguryeo before."

This sentence completely puts the final conclusion.

These people who had been dead for three days were the real Baekje envoys.

And before, the person who made such a big statement and was killed by Shen Lian was fake!
Therefore, Shen Lian not only did not make any mistakes, but instead made great contributions!

At this moment, the look on everyone's face when they looked at Shen Lian changed again.

Zhao Hai, the Minister of Honglu Temple, was already a little dumbfounded.

He really didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

Until now, he is still a little confused.

And Abao was also very shocked. He knew that these corpses were actually gifts sent by Tianquan in order to please his master.

He thought it must be fake.

The one you killed yourself should be the real one.

But now, after seeing so much evidence.

However, he began to doubt his own understanding.

Which one is true and which one is false?

He was also a little confused.

Ah Bao couldn't help but whispered, "Sir, which one is real and which one is fake?"
