Immediately, I heard someone shouting: "The city lord's palace was attacked. Those thieves went to attack the city lord's palace. The city lord has an order, please come back quickly!"
"What!?"
Hearing the roar, two unexpected exclamations sounded almost simultaneously.
Tianji's eyes widened and he looked at Shen Lian fiercely.
The leader of the guards in the city lord's palace was also extremely shocked.
The man hurriedly asked: "The city lord's mansion was attacked? Is it... are those thieves?"
He was really surprised. How cruel were those thieves? They even dared to attack the city lord's palace!
Are they crazy?
Or are they that strong?
At this moment, the leader felt lucky. Fortunately, he did not encounter those thieves.
Otherwise, those thieves would dare to attack the city lord's mansion. If they encountered him, wouldn't he be in trouble?
The messenger heard what he said and said directly: "The City Lord's Mansion has sent all its troops away and its rear defense is weak. It is now being attacked and is very dangerous. Have you noticed anything unusual here?"
The leader of the guards shook his head quickly: "Nothing unusual was found."
The man said: "Then leave a few people to guard here, and the rest will immediately support the City Lord's Mansion!"
"yes!"
The leader of the guards did not dare to delay, and quickly named four people to stay, guarding the front and back doors, and then left quickly with the others.
The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away.
At this time, Tianji finally couldn't help but said, "Did you let someone do it?"
Shen Lian smiled: "If I didn't let someone do it, how could it be you?"
Tianji was so beaten that she lost her temper.
She said: "Is this what you asked Sishe and the others to do?"
Shen Lian nodded and said calmly: "Is it difficult to understand?"
"Since I will infer that they will come to search the inn, I will naturally infer that they will hold on to the inn as much as possible and will not leave, thus delaying the time until dawn, making it inevitable for us to escape."
"So, in order to deal with this crisis, I asked the shadow guards lurking in the dark to attack the city lord's palace."
"I believe that after sending so many people to search the City Lord's Mansion, there will definitely not be many people guarding it, and they will never imagine that we are so bold and dare to attack the City Lord's Mansion."
"And this gives us the opportunity to divert the tiger away from the mountain and let them leave!"
Tianji was completely convinced.
What is a large silver coin?
Shen Lian is the one!
She thought she was already very calculating.
But compared with Shen Lian, the difference is really not even a little bit.
Fortunately, the two of them are now on the same team.
Otherwise, Tianji will really feel extremely headache and troublesome.
I can take one step and see five steps.
But Shen Lian... She wasn't sure how far Shen Lian saw him.
Maybe it's ten steps, maybe it's a hundred steps.
Maybe... we have seen the ending.
"Shen Lian, you are truly an unfathomable person."
Tianji couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Shen Lian chuckled: "Thank you for the compliment."
With that said, he stood up and said, "Let's go, we should return to the inn while everyone else is gone."
Tianji nodded and walked out of the shadows with Shen Lian.
At this time, there were only four guards left in the inn. These guards guarded the front and back doors, but could not guard other places.
Therefore, Shen Lian and Tianji easily jumped from the tree to the window.
When he entered the room, he saw another person who looked exactly like Shen Lian standing there.
"Master, you are finally back."
Shen Lian quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Shen Lian glanced at the person opposite who looked exactly like him, and said with a smile: "Yes, my disguise skills are getting better and better. When I look at it, it's like looking in a mirror."
Sishe smiled innocently, and he directly tore off his human skin mask, revealing his true face.
"Master, how are you?" Si She asked hurriedly.
Shen Lian said: "The new Yaoguang Immortal is also seriously injured. Next, he should not be able to continue to take action."
"So, now Beichen has taken over all rights."
Si She said: "Beichen is really here!"
Shen Lian smiled: "It's normal. It would be abnormal if he didn't come. And his coming also made me sure of one thing."
"What's up?"
Sishe asked.
Tianji also looked at Shen Lian at this time.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said: "The top floor of Beidou is definitely Beichen's residence. The Beidou Tower in Taihe City has a very special status and has special meaning to Beichen."
There are still some things that Shen Lian didn't say.
That is, the Beidou Empress who believes in Beidou Temple may... have a great relationship with Beichen!
Why did Beichen move the entire courtyard to the top of the Beidou Tower!
Beidou Tower, the first floor, the second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor... they are all belonging to the Beidou Empress.
Portraits, books, and statues of Empress Beidou.
They are all Beidou Empress’s things.
According to this logic, the topmost item should also belong to Empress Beidou.
And because it is the top layer, it should be something more important to Lady Beidou.
But the fifth floor is a courtyard.
So... Shen Lian thinks that the courtyard should be fine.
It still conforms to this logic.
That also shows that that courtyard has a great relationship with Beidou Empress!
And in that courtyard, he found the six-fingered gloves that could prove Beichen!
So...does this mean that Beichen is actually related to Empress Beidou?
In that courtyard, there are the clothes of the hostess.
so……
Shen Lian has a very bold guess!
He wondered whether Beichen and Beidou Empress... were husband and wife?
Or, mother and son?
He originally thought that this guess was a bit too mysterious.
But now, after confirming that Beichen had come to Taihe City in person, Shen Lian became more and more certain of this.
After all, the Tang Alliance army is still attacking Nanzhao.
What Beichen should do most at this time is to sit at the base and control the overall situation.
But it was definitely not at this time that he left the base and came to Taihe City.
Although... he thinks Beichen has a reason to come here to deal with him.
But in fact, this reason is still somewhat untenable to Beichen, who has great wisdom.
At least...if it were Shen Lian, Qin Wenyuan would choose the overall situation when faced with a thief suspected of being Beichen and hundreds of thousands of enemies attacking.
He will send trusted people to investigate.
Even if the city is simply sealed off, no one will be able to come out.
Then wait until the overall problem is solved before dealing with the person suspected of being Beichen.
After all, the city is sealed, and people suspected of being Beichen cannot escape!
Judging from his fight with Beichen, Beichen would not think of such a method.
Although a little bulky, it is absolutely effective and can definitely trap yourself.
But Beichen didn't do this.
But came in person.
That only shows that the Beidou Temple in Taihe City is extraordinary.
Therefore, Beichen was immediately alarmed and had to come!
And Beichen's arrival indirectly proved Qin Wenyuan's speculation!
"Could it be that... Beichen and Empress Beidou are either husband and wife, mother and son, or have some other close relationship?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes slightly...
He did not tell Tianji that his purpose of forcing Beichen to appear was actually to verify his speculation.
After all, he also had doubts about Tianji's identity.
Therefore, Shen Lian still kept his speculation secret at this time, and did not even tell Si She to prevent Si She from being tricked by Tianji.
Shen Lian said: "Did the guards of the City Lord's Mansion find anything in their search?"
Sishe shook her head hurriedly: "No, they didn't find anything abnormal."
"But they searched very carefully this time and almost turned the whole room upside down."
Shen Lian nodded: "In this case, there should be no problem, and they probably won't search it a third time."
Tianji looked at Qin Wenyuan at this time and asked, "What should we do next?"
The purpose of solving the new fluclight has been achieved.
The matter of forcing Beichen to take over can be considered accomplished.
What's next?
Sishe also looked at Shen Lian.
They knew that Shen Lian would not just wait.
Sure enough, at this moment, Shen Lian suddenly looked at Tianji.
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "Well, next time... Tianji, it's up to you!"
"I?"
Tianji couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard Shen Lian's words.
But soon,
She understood what Shen Lian meant, and she said, "You mean... you want to use my people!?"
Shen Lian nodded.
"That's right, as the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use them. Now it's time to use them."
Tianji narrowed his eyes.
After pondering for a moment, he then said, "Okay, at this point, no one of us can hide anything, just tell us what you have to say."
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
Shen Lian said, "Although Beichen has taken over the affairs of Taihe City now, we cannot confirm who is Beichen...or is Beichen's puppet."
"So, what we need to do now is to find this Beichen puppet hiding behind the scenes."
"At the same time, we must also create conditions for us to leave Taihe City."
"Beichen has arrived, and I believe you should understand Beichen's arrival... He will never lift the seal of Taihe City until he solves us."
"After all, for Beichen, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He will never give up the opportunity to deal with us."
"So, we must find a way to leave on our own, and we can no longer count on Taihe Cheng to unblock them."
Tianji nodded.
She understood that Shen Lian was right.
This is the case now.
After Beichen's arrival was confirmed, he could no longer proceed according to the original plan.
The emergence of Beichen is the biggest variable, and they must also make corresponding changes.
"What should we do?" she asked.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed with a gleam, and the corners of his mouth curled up, saying, "Let Tai Hecheng be completely chaotic, as much chaos as you want."
"How messy, how messy is it going to be?"
Tianji was thoughtful.
"How to do it?"
Shen Lian said, "It's very simple, let them commit the crime."
“Involve ordinary people.”
"In addition to not harming the lives of innocent people, you can do whatever you want."
Tianji asked, "For example?"
Shen Lian's face was stern and his voice became cold, "For example, setting fire to a house."
"For example, looting stores."
"Like stealing something precious."
"In short, I will find a way to force the people out of their homes and let them run into the streets, causing the whole of Taihe Cheng to be in chaos."
This is the first time Tianji meets Shen Lian, who wants to use ordinary people to achieve his goals.
After all, when he was in the Tang Dynasty, Shen Lian restricted many things in order to prevent the people from being affected.
But now, Shen Lian seemed to be a demon that had been released from the cage.
When Shen Lian saw Tianji not speaking but staring at him, he smiled and said, "What are you looking at?"
Tianji said truthfully, "It feels like you are a devil released from a cage."
"Being released from the cage?"
Shen Lian thought for a while, then smiled and said, "About that. When I was in the Tang Dynasty, to be honest, there were too many shackles on me."
"It's not the shackles someone deliberately put on me, but my principles and bottom line. In this way, I can't let ordinary innocent people be affected. I don't want to break their peaceful lives."
Tianji arrived, "Then why are you doing this now?"
Shen Lian laughed and said, "Nan Zhao is not the Tang Dynasty!"
"Are the people of Nanzhao the people of the Tang Dynasty?"
"If not, then as an official of the Tang Dynasty, why should I think about the people of other countries?"
"If I can restrain you from harming the lives of innocent people, that's the biggest concession."
"Otherwise, if I casually issue an order to massacre the people of Nanzhao... Do you believe it, the effect will be even better?"
"So, you think I seem to have escaped from the cage and can do anything, but in fact, I am already restricted."
He looked at Tianji and said, "When I left Datang, I said that I was very unhappy in Datang because there were too many things I couldn't do and I was too restricted."
"But now, I will no longer be burdened with those locks. I can do whatever I want. Only in this way can I truly unleash my full strength."
Tianji looked at Shen Lian.
At this moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt as if Shen Lian in front of her had torn apart the mask on the surface.
A truly lawless demon was showing its claws for the first time in front of him!
When the most intelligent man in the Tang Dynasty no longer restrains his minions, but wants to completely unblock him and use whatever means necessary, what kind of power will emerge?
At this moment, Xu Gou suddenly became a little nervous.
Because he has never seen such a young master, such a young master who has no scruples and wants to bring out all his abilities and terrifying strength!
Tianji, on the other hand, had a bad premonition.
She just felt like she was about to see a demon unsealed.
She and Shen Lian cannot always be teammates.
Now, because they are facing the same crisis, they will work closely together.
But in the future, she will eventually become a rival with Shen Lian.
And at that time, facing such a terrifying Shen Lian, facing Shen Lian in front of him, and taking off his shackles little by little, all the horror of Shen Lian will be revealed. (End of chapter)
