And this is also the reason why Shen Lian did not directly reject Tianquan just now.
Even though both parties know that the other party's goal in this cooperation may be to include themselves in it, but because Shen Lian and Tian Quan are both bold people, they are not afraid, but are looking forward to what happens next. things.
Zhang He looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Master Shen really wants to join forces with Tianquan?"
Shen Lian chuckled: "He has already launched a challenge, so I naturally want to accept it."
"War letter?"
Zhang He was stunned.
Didn't Tianquan find Lord Shen to join forces?
Why is Master Shen talking about a letter of war?
Isn't what they heard different?
Seeing Zhang He's confused look, Shen Lian smiled and shook his head without explaining.
After all, Zhang He's understanding of Tianquan is still limited, and he doesn't know the tacit understanding between Tianquan and himself.
Join forces, it's true.
Because they all have to deal with Beichen and Beidou Society!
But the letter of challenge is even more true.
Because they still want to compete, they want to include each other.
Therefore, this kind of cooperation between enemies and friends is even more interesting!
This is far more exciting for Shen Lian than simply scheming against each other.
Shen Lian raised his head and glanced at the sky, only to see stars twinkling in the dark sky.
The Ziwei star shines brightly, and the surrounding stars are also competing for their glory...
"It's almost here, the time is coming."
Shen Lian whispered to himself, then looked back and said: "Okay, you go and do your work. Keep an eye on the Japanese envoy. Maybe in the future, he will become the key to breaking everything. At most, half a month, everything will be over, so this paragraph Time, work harder."
Zhang He nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, sir, the Japanese envoy will be handed over to my subordinates. I promise that within this half month, the Japanese envoy will never leave my sight for a moment."
Shen Lian smiled: "Go ahead."
With a flick of the brush, Zhang He disappeared instantly.
Zhang He has become more proficient in the stealth methods and light skills of thieves.
Looking at the direction in which Zhang He disappeared, Shen Lian nodded slightly.
Everyone has his own strengths.
Zhang He's fighting ability is not as good as that of Ah Bao and the others, but his ability to monitor and track others is a few steps ahead of Ah Bao and the others.
They can almost be compared with those who are the strongest in Jinyiwei.
It is the responsibility of a qualified leader to maximize their strengths and use them in the most appropriate place.
Shen Lian shook his head, took a deep breath, and suddenly said, "Aren't you going to show up yet? If you don't show up, I'll leave."
There was silence for a few seconds on the empty and quiet street. Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded: "Master Shen, you are really alert. You have discovered all this."
At the same time as the sound sounded, a figure appeared in the mist.
It was the image of an old man, with a hunched back and a cane in his hand. He looked no different from an ordinary old man.
But his eyes were not cloudy, but filled with sharp light.
As he stood there, it was as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Which country's secret guard?"
The old man seemed a little surprised: "Do you know my identity?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "In Chang'an, there will be no one who dares to follow me, spy on me, or even block my way, except for the secret guards who just come out and don't know a thing, even those terrifying mysterious organizations. After receiving lessons from me several times, he no longer dares to be so arrogant."
The old man smiled arrogantly: "Master Shen is too conceited... Moreover, I am not the guys that Master Shen saw before. They are far behind."
"For example, the person you just met, what's his name? Tianquan, right? Haha, he didn't even notice my existence, so what qualifications do they have to compare with me?"
Shen Lian was really surprised this time.
He raised his eyes to look at the old man and said, "Do you think Tianquan didn't notice you?"
The old man chuckled and looked very calm: "That's natural. My concealment method is the best in the world."
"Tsk!"
Shen Lian really couldn't stand listening anymore, and he said strangely: "Who are you, the idiot who was released by this guy? You are so arrogant, and you dare to come to me to cause trouble."
"Are you the best in the world in secretive methods?"
He shook his head and sighed: "This is what Tianquan, who has no trace of Beichen and I, dares to say. This is also what Zhang He, the new generation of thieves' saint son who has been passed down by the thieves for thousands of years, dare not say."
"I really don't know how big your face is, how dare you say such things."
Being looked down upon by Shen Lian, the old man's face suddenly turned cold.
The surrounding temperature seems to be lower.
Shen Lian could feel that the old man was exuding strong murderous intent.
"What qualifications do they have to compare with me? I have been in the world for decades, and no one has dared to speak so brazenly in front of me!"
"Conquer the world?"
Shen Lian smiled half-heartedly and said, "The world you call is your small, narrow country, right? If you dominate your small country, you will feel that you have really dominated the world. That would be really ridiculous."
"To claim to be No. 1 in the world before being recognized by the Tang Dynasty is the biggest insult to being No. 1 in the world! A frog in a well is nothing more than that!"
….….….….
"you……."
The old man was furious, as if he had been greatly insulted.
He gritted his teeth and suddenly shouted: "Shen Lian, you are asking for death!"
After saying that, he drew his sword and rushed towards Shen Lian.
When Shen Lian saw this, his expression did not change at all. He did not dodge or dodge, and said calmly: "Three!"
"What?"
"two!"
"What are you doing?"
Shen Lian raised his eyes: "One!"
puff--
A mouthful of blood suddenly spit out from the old man's mouth.
The old man who was rushing towards Shen Lian stumbled and fell to the ground because of this mouthful of blood.
The sword in his hand flew several meters away in an instant.
The old man's eyes widened as he fell to the ground.
He looked at Shen Lian with a horrified look on his face: "You...you...what did you do?"
Shen Lian shrugged and said, "I have been standing here all the time. What do you think I, Shen Lian, can do?"
"You didn't do anything, then why... why was I poisoned?" The old man was extremely shocked.
Shen Lian laughed and said: "I did not do anything, but the two people who just left gave you some information when they left, so...why do you think they dare to let you hear us?" conversation? Just because..."
Under the extremely horrified gaze of the old man, Shen Lian said calmly: "They... won't let you take three steps alive!"
"What!?"
The old man's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
Shen Lian said with an indifferent expression: "Do you understand now? How ridiculous it is to claim to be the best in the world without the permission of the Tang Dynasty.
When the old man heard Shen Lian's words, his whole body felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his face turned frighteningly pale.
He looked like his worldview was shattered.
It seemed that he couldn't accept it at all, that someone actually surpassed him in concealment ability.
Moreover, there were not only one person, but two people who surpassed him and poisoned him without his knowledge!
this…….
He just felt as if something in his mind was suddenly broken.
Shen Lian looked at the old man's collapsed look and shook his head slightly.
This is what a frog in a well looks like when he sees the real sky.
Although there are Arab and Roman empires in this world that are as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, the inheritance of the Central Plains lasts for thousands of years.
Thousands of years of accumulation and thousands of years of inheritance have made Datang a well-deserved leader in all aspects!
Therefore, it is really a big joke to dare to claim to be the best in the world without being certified by the Tang Dynasty.
Not to mention, Tianquan and Zhang He are also among the best at hiding. What is the difference between this guy who sits in a well and watches the sky and dares to show off his hiding ability in front of them, and shows off his sword in front of Guan Gong?
Therefore, Shen Lian had no sympathy for him at all when he ended up like this.
This is really deserved!
"You should feel lucky."
At this time, Shen Lian suddenly spoke.
The old man subconsciously raised his head and looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said calmly: "Some people sit in a well and look at the sky. Because they have been in the well all their lives, they don't know how ridiculous they are until they die."
"And you, before you died, personally experienced the blow and lesson of sitting in a well and looking at the sky. When you die, you are lucky to know how ridiculous and insignificant you are."
puff--
"You...you...you are so vicious..."
The old man pointed at Shen Lian, his fingers trembling, and he trembled for a moment. Then he suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and he died on the spot.
Shen Lian touched his nose, his face full of confusion.
I let him know how insignificant he was before he died, so that he wouldn't be in a daze after death. How could he be vicious?
He thought for a while and suddenly said: "Here comes someone."
With a few clicks, two royal guards quickly appeared beside Shen Lian.
Shen Lian pointed to the old man's body and asked, "Am I not considerate? Why did he say that I, Shen Lian, was vicious? Do you think what he said was unreasonable?"
Two Jin Yiwei: "..."
Even if they were on the same side as Shen Lian, they still felt sad for the old man at this moment.
He has thought that he is the best in the world all his life, but only then did he realize how rubbish he was, and then someone told him that he was lucky.
This is tantamount to spreading sulfuric acid on a wound!
Much better than spreading salt.
"Commander Shen, what should we do with this... this person?"
A Jin Yiwei was embarrassed to answer Shen Lian's words and hurriedly asked.
Shen Lian glanced at the Jin Yiwei with a faint look in his eyes.
With his intelligence, how could he not understand what this Jin Yiwei was thinking.
He sighed: "You are still young, you don't understand."
Jin Yiwei said in his heart: "...I am almost twenty years older than you, thank you."
Shen Lian stopped joking, looked at the old man's body, and said calmly: "This must be a secret guard of a certain country. It seems that one of the envoys was dissatisfied with me, so he sent him to find trouble for me."
"The people who have had direct discussions with me in the past two days are none other than those six kingdoms. I don't know whether they are Tubo, Dashi Kingdom, Nanzhao, or Japanese Kingdom."
"But no matter which country it is, the impact is not big. We only need to let other envoys know that the envoys of these countries are petty. Just because I show some evidence, they will attack me. It's so senseless. In a country with bottom lines and principles, whoever dares to cooperate with them will have the consciousness of being betrayed."
"I want to see who dares to cooperate with them after all this."
He waved his hand and said: "Just throw the corpse to the inn, and then tell all the envoys that I, Shen Lian, encountered an assassin, and after investigation, it was found that the assassin was a secret guard of a certain country, who specifically... ...Because I don’t want to delay the progress of the Council of Nations, I will not express it for the time being, and press it briefly! I hope that country can restrain itself, otherwise if this happens again, I will never give up."
Jin Yiwei heard Shen Lian's words and blinked: "Commander Shen, do you already know which country he is from?"
Shen Lian chuckled: "Of course I don't know, but... As the saying goes, a person's name is like a tree's shadow. If I say I don't know, maybe those guys won't believe it."
"So why not just let them think I know, and then let them scare themselves and expose their own flaws, isn't it better?"
The two Jin Yiwei looked at each other.
I couldn't help but nod my head repeatedly.
Forget about those envoys.
Even they felt that Shen Lian was deceiving them...
With Commander Shen's ability, how could there be anything that Commander Shen didn't know about.
So, even they think so, and others even more so!
In this case, the envoy who sent this Jin Yiwei would definitely be frightened and might not even be able to sleep well. After all, he was not sure when Shen Lian would take revenge on him!
In this way... maybe he will really show off his flaws!
Shen Lian laughed: "Okay, it's getting late by then. It's estimated that the envoys will have to rest. Go quickly, in time, before they fall asleep, so that the envoys can be frightened, and say goodbye to sleep from now on." Bar."
The Jin Yiwei: "...ruthless, Commander Shen is still ruthless!"
However, the two Jin Yiwei were filled with emotion and took action quickly.
Soon, he left with the body.
At this time, Shen Lian stretched slightly.
In fact, he could probably guess which country's envoy sent the secret guard.
After all, sending secret guards to deal with him at this time is tantamount to a fool's errand.
Neither the Dashi Kingdom nor the Tubo prince is so stupid.
Therefore, it is definitely not something a big country can do to make such a decision and send out such stupid and arrogant envoys as secret guards.
Therefore, the scope has been reduced to a lot.
There are only one or two goals.
However, Shen Lian's purpose was not to find out the person behind the scenes, but to consider the bigger picture.
And even without this secret guard, Shen Lian was ready to direct and act in the assassination scene.
But I didn't expect that someone would be so cooperative with me.
This really surprised Shen Lian!
After all, it is more realistic and has smaller loopholes.
As of now, all the preliminary preparations are officially completed.
The preparations on the eve of the Council of Nations have ended.
Next, is the real battlefield of this coming of all nations - the Council of Nations!
A parliament that can completely change the world!
The real show is finally about to officially begin!
