Why leave the army?
Shen Lian came back so late last night. Did he make any preparations?
Shen Lian... shouldn't he specifically want to test himself?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Tianji's mind.
But she didn't have Shen Lian's terrifying reasoning ability, so after thinking for a long time, she didn't have a clue.
In the end, I had to close the door and go back to pack my luggage in frustration.
She knew Shen Lian's temperament. Now that Shen Lian had made a decision, it was not something she could change. Moreover, Shen Lian said exactly what he said. If she really didn't listen, Shen Lian would really tie her away.
She had already tried the feeling of being tied up, and she never wanted to do it again in her life.
So in the end I had to be obedient.
Outside, in the yard.
"Master, how are you?" Sishe greeted Shen Lian.
Shen Lian smiled faintly: "Tell me that leaving the army will be dangerous, and you want to persuade me not to leave."
"Ignore her. For her, leaving the army and not being watched by the army will make it easier for her to get out of our hands."
"But as a result, after hearing what I said, not only was she not happy at all, but she even resisted. This is very wrong."
"It seems that my decision is very correct. Maybe keeping Tianji here all the time may cause problems."
Si She asked: "What's the problem?"
Shen Lian shook his head and said casually: "Who knows, but what is good for Tianji is definitely not good for us, so taking Tianji away is definitely a good thing."
Si She saw that Shen Lian couldn't figure it out, so he couldn't figure it out even more, so he didn't waste any more brain cells.
He said: "Master, we are all ready. This time there will be ten brothers following us openly, and one hundred and twenty shadow guards will follow us in the dark."
"This is the largest number of shadow guards without tasks that we can mobilize at present."
"enough."
Shen Lian said: "The protection of the shadow guards is only needed from time to time. I don't want to make any big noise. This time, I only focused on searching for information."
Sishe nodded, without any doubt about Shen Lian's words.
Not long after, the closed door opened.
Tianji walked out carrying a baggage.
Seeing Shen Lian, Si She, and some guards who looked like they were highly skilled in martial arts in the yard, a light flashed deep in his eyes.
But soon, this light was hidden.
"I've packed it up."
She took the initiative to speak.
Shen Lian glanced at Tianji with a searching look in his eyes. Even though Tianji reacted quickly, Qin Wenyuan still caught the change in his expression just now.
"What's that look like?"
"Accident? No surprise? Or do you think he can handle this number of people?"
Shen Lian was thinking in his mind.
But nothing was revealed on the surface.
He immediately got on his horse and said, "Let's go then."
After that, he drove the war horses directly and left the city lord's mansion through the back gate, and also left Xin'an City through the back gate.
Soon, more than a dozen horses were kicking up dust on the road, getting further and further away from Xin'an City.
At this time, Shen Lian suddenly looked back.
He saw Chengtou Mountain, where Xue Rengui and Xu Gou were standing, watching him go away.
He didn't let them see each other off, but they came anyway.
Shen Lian raised his hand and waved it, then turned back and shouted: "Drive!"
Nanzhao is located in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, with the Erhai area as the center, and is dominated by Shibi, which is equivalent to the states of the Tang Dynasty.
Within the Ten Eyes, there are six Jiedu envoys, who are in charge of the six most important places in Erhai Lake.
In addition, there are four major towns, Yunnan and Pindan in the east, Mengqinglian in the west, and Mouhe in the north. These four major towns and the six major places jointly create the strategic location of Nanzhao!
At this time, in Taihe City, one of the six important places.
Shen Lian and others, who had passed through the disguise, had just passed the interrogation by the soldiers at the city gate and entered Taihe City.
Seeing the bustling scene in Taihe City, Shen Lian couldn't help but sigh.
Compared with Xin'an City on the border and several remote towns they passed through, Taihe City, one of the ten cities in Nanzhao, was just different.
Wealth, prosperity, prosperity.
It can be compared with some medium-sized cities in the Tang Dynasty.
Of course, it can be compared with the medium-sized cities of the Tang Dynasty.
It is incomparable to large cities such as Chang'an City, Luoyang City, and Yongzhou City in the Tang Dynasty.
Depending on the area, the degree of prosperity varies greatly.
However, Nanzhao is a medium-sized country after all, and it is not easy for Taihe City to be like this.
Shen Lian disguised himself as a twenty-three or four-year-old man with wheat-colored skin and an ordinary appearance. He was not easy to attract bees and butterflies.
Otherwise, if Yi Rongcheng were to be a handsome guy with the same appearance as him, it would be too conspicuous and there would be people turning around everywhere, which would not be in line with Shen Lian's original plan.
Beside him, Tianji has no disguise. It's not that Shen Lian doesn't want to disguise her, but no one knows what Tianji originally looked like, so Tianji's current disguised appearance guarantees that no one will Can recognize.
Tianji let out a breath and said, "You really came in. You were questioned at the city gate just now. I thought you would reveal your secret..."
Shen Lian smiled lightly: "I want to sneak into Nanzhao. How could I be unprepared?"
"Don't worry, our identity documents are all genuine, and no one can find anything wrong with them."
I don't want to worry, I hope to be found to have problems... Tianji secretly thought in her heart.
She looked at Shen Lian and said with some surprise: "You can still speak Nanzhao dialect? If you had any problem with your speech just now, we might all be detained."
"The city gate has obviously received a mission, which is to prevent infiltration by others. It is very strict now."
Shen Lian chuckled and said, "Is there anything wrong with being able to speak Nanzhao dialect?"
"When all nations came to the Tang Dynasty, I stayed with them every day. Listening to their words, no matter how stupid they are, they should learn."
Si She: "..."
It seemed like he had been shot inexplicably.
He didn't learn it. Not only didn't he learn it, he couldn't speak a word.
It was actually Nanzhao's accent, which sounded very strange, and he wouldn't be able to learn it in a short time anyway.
Fortunately, Shen Lian asked him to play the role of a mute and not let him speak, otherwise Si Snake would reveal his secrets as soon as he opened his mouth.
Tianji's expression was also very complicated.
It only lasts a few days, and there is still intrigue, and there are so many countries. You can learn from it by listening to a few words from them?
wrong……
Tianji suddenly realized the important point. She looked at Shen Lian fiercely and asked, "Apart from Nanzhao, do you know the languages of other countries..."
"That's right?"
Shen Lian nodded calmly and said, "I've learned everything."
He tilted his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Is this difficult? Listen to what they say, watch their expressions, and remember it in your brain. It will be easy to repeat it, right?"
Tianji was silent.
Si She also fell silent.
Silence is the city of Taihe tonight.
None of them wanted to talk.
At this moment, they felt firsthand the difference between ordinary people and geniuses.
No, this is no longer a simple difference.
They clearly felt that they and Shen Lian were no longer the same type.
More than a hundred countries.
More than a hundred languages.
Just for such a short time.
Shen Lian learned it all.
Shen Lian...isn't a human?
Although it has been confirmed many times that Shen Lian is not a human being, he has never been so sure this time.
Shen Lian looked at the two people as silent as wilting eggplants and felt baffled.
He looked up at the sky, it was sunset and dusk.
Said: "Okay, stop inking and find an inn quickly, otherwise we will sleep on the street tonight."
With that said, Shen Lian took Si She and others to find an inn.
Nanzhao is adjacent to the Tang Dynasty and has been greatly influenced by the culture of the Tang Dynasty, so there are many places like inns.
Moreover, as one of the ten largest cities in Nanzhao, Taihe City has a good economic development. Therefore, there are many industries such as inns and restaurants, and Qin Wenyuan does not have to worry about finding a place.
Soon, he found an inn.
This inn is located in the central area of Taihe City. The location is very good, with people coming and going, and business is prosperous.
"This is it."
Shen Lian directly chose this place.
For him who wants to find out information, the more people there are in the inn, the easier it is.
Everyone handed the horses to the waiter and entered the inn.
There were thirteen people in their group, and Shen Lian requested seven rooms.
He was alone in a single room. Sishe wanted to keep an eye on Tianji to prevent Tianji from escaping, so he shared a room with Tianji, and the other ten shadow guards also shared a room in pairs.
Under the guidance of the waiter, they entered the room, put away their luggage, and then went downstairs to order some side dishes.
Shen Lian, Si She, and Tianji sat on a small table, while the other shadow guards sat on the large table on the other side.
Soon, the food and wine were served.
Shen Lian picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of Nanzhao's special dish. He couldn't help but nodded: "It tastes good, very unique."
Tianji glanced at Shen Lian and said, "Aren't you worried about being poisoned or dying from poison?"
Shen Lian laughed and said, "Tianji, do you think everyone in the world has the same insidious thoughts as you?"
Of course, the fact is that Shen Lian has top-level poison skills, and he has already made a judgment whether it is poisonous or not.
Of course, this is his secret, there is no need to tell Tianji.
Tianji snorted coldly: "If you don't have any vigilance in the enemy's hinterland, you will regret it sooner or later!"
Shen Lian rolled his eyes.
Too lazy to care about Tianji.
He ate the delicious food leisurely, listening carefully to the conversations of the diners around him.
However, what these diners talked about were all trivial things about their parents, and there were also some naughty jokes that did not have much nutrition, and they were really of little value.
He shook his head and secretly sighed that indeed all film and television works were lies.
How is it possible to go to an inn and immediately get the information you need?
In this world, more people drink because they are bragging.
Who would be okay shouting about such secret and important things?
"Hey, why are there so few idiots in movies and TV shows in reality?"
Shen Lian was a little disappointed.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the sound of a gong outside suddenly attracted everyone's attention.
Shen Lian also looked out the window.
At this time, a man wearing black and white Taoist robes was seen beating the gong.
While beating the gong, he said loudly: "Empress Beidou is appearing. I worship Empress Beidou religiously at this moment, and all my wishes will come true!"
And behind him, there were many people.
These people were full of piety and followed step by step.
At the same time, the diners in the inn who were bragging just now were all overjoyed.
"Empress Beidou has appeared?"
"Great, let's go quickly!"
"Empress Beidou doesn't appear once a year. Every time she appears, it's very miraculous and makes many people's wishes come true. Let's go quickly!"
"Okay! Go quickly!"
As these people talked, they walked out.
Soon you will join the crowd of those common people.
Shen Lian's eyes moved and he murmured: "Ms. Beidou... What's the matter with this severe sense of déjà vu?"
He suddenly looked at Tianji and said, "Don't tell me, is this Beidou Empress still related to your Beidou Society?"
Tianji also seemed a little surprised. She said, "I really don't know this, but from the name, it seems that there is something to do with it."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
have no idea?
He never believed Tianji's words.
In his opinion, Tianji had arranged so many things here in Nanzhao. Even though he was in the Tang Dynasty, he could definitely control the trends here at all times.
Wouldn't she know?
But Shen Lian was too lazy to talk nonsense with Tianji at this time.
He stood up directly and said, "Let's go and have a look too."
"I would like to see what the so-called Empress Beidou's appearance is all about."
"Apparition?"
He laughed and said, "I am so old, but I have never seen a ghost appear before!"
Shen Lian is the kind of person who is full of curiosity about everything.
If he didn't have this kind of character that is full of curiosity about everything and wants to understand everything, he would not have the detective ability he has today.
So now that I saw something I had never experienced in my previous life, how could I not go and take a look.
Not to mention, he doubted that the so-called Beidou Empress and the Beidou Society were still related.
Therefore, without any hesitation, Qin Wenyuan took Si She and others out of the restaurant and mingled with the people.
In the queue of people, he found that these people were all chanting something devoutly as they walked.
Shen Lian listened carefully...
"With your blessing, Lady Beidou, let me give birth to a big fat son this year!"
Shen Lian glanced at her, a seventy-year-old grandma...
"Bless me, Lady Beidou, this will make me rich overnight!"
Shen Lian glanced at this man and saw that he was a beggar.
"Empress Beidou bless me and let Sister Lin and I stay together forever."
Shen Lian looked around and found that she was a pretty girl.
Shen Lian had nothing to say.
He couldn't help but look at Tianji and said with a strange expression: "Are there not any of you Beidou Society believers who are normal?"
Tianji also heard these prayers, and his expression was also weird.
But compared to Shen Lian's curiosity, she actually felt a sense of shame.
Even though she has betrayed now, she was still a member of the Beidou Club in the past.
Therefore, she felt ashamed that there would be such believers in Beidou.
But at this moment, Tianji suddenly thought of something. She opened her eyes suddenly and said, "I don't know if the Beidou Empress is related to the Beidou Society, so I don't know if Beidou Empress's followers are related to the Beidou Society." of believers.”
