Tianji was sitting at the table drinking tea. When she saw Shen Lian coming back, she said in a rather sinister tone: "How can the daring Commander Shen still be cautious? I thought you were not afraid of anything."
Shen Lian was not angry when he heard this.
He looked at Tianji with a smile and said with a smile: "I have some great news, do you want to hear it?"
Tianji's eyes flashed and he looked straight at Shen Lian.
Then I heard Shen Lian say with a smile: "Apologise."
Tianji: "..."
"Can't your belly be bigger?"
"Hey, I really can't."
Shen Lian smiled and said: "What I believe in is that today's affairs will be completed today, and today's revenge will be avenged today."
"Come on, if you want to hear it, apologize quickly."
"Otherwise, don't listen."
Tianji: "..."
She was very upset.
You clearly know that Shen Lian doesn't want to suffer any loss, so why would you offend Shen Lian when you have nothing to do?
Now it’s good, and you’ll get the bitter pill right away.
Tianji really wanted to be tough, so she waved her sleeves and said that the old man wouldn't listen!
But she can't.
The news that Shen Lian could describe as "big news" is definitely not a trivial matter.
And she also wanted to know what Shen Lian had discovered during his trip.
Therefore, after Tianji's face turned green and red for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
Shen Lian took out his ears and said with a smile: "The voice was too low, I couldn't hear it clearly."
Tianji was so angry that her hair stood on end.
Sishe quickly walked to Shen Lian's side to prevent Tianji from doing anything irrational due to impulse.
Tianji took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, Shen Lian, I was wrong."
Shen Lian nodded with satisfaction.
He said with a gentle smile on his face: "Look at you, would a person with such a big belly like me care about such a trivial matter? You are so serious, but in fact I really don't care."
"But since you apologized so sincerely, I have no choice but to accept it. Don't do this again in the future. I don't like you doing this. It makes me look like a chicken."
Tianji: "...Shen Lian, you've had enough!"
Shen Lian laughed and said, "Just a joke, Tianji, you are so humorless."
Tianji rolled his eyes, you are not humorous, your whole family is not humorous.
"alright."
After Shen Lian smiled, he said, "I am in a good mood. If that's the case, let's talk about it."
When Tianji and Sishe heard this, they both looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian, on the other hand, calmly sat on the chair, picked up the kettle, and slowly poured himself a glass of water.
Afterwards, he picked up the water glass and said, "This time I visited the Beidou Tower at night and discovered a few things."
"First, I discovered that everything in the Beidou Tower in Taihe City has been moved to the Beidou Tower in Dali City."
"At least, everything on the second, third and fourth floors has been moved."
Sishe was startled: "They were all moved here?"
"But this Dali City is not the closest place to Taihe City, right?"
"Why did you move here?"
Tianji also frowned, but her focus was different from Si She's. She looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Why isn't there the fifth floor?"
"good question."
Shen Lian laughed and said, "I arrived at the fifth floor. The fifth floor has a door just like the fifth floor of the Beidou Tower in Taihe City."
"It's just that there is someone behind this door!"
"Is there someone!?"
Tianji's eyes flashed. She looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and asked, "Who is it?"
Shen Lian shook his head: "I don't know."
"have no idea?"
"Because I didn't go in."
Shen Lian said calmly: "I suspect that behind this door is a trap set by Beichen. Once I enter, I may fall into an ambush. At that time, we will all be in danger."
"So for the sake of safety, and to avoid alerting others, I did not enter, but withdrew early."
Tianji frowned, but didn't say much.
There is no doubt that there is no problem with Shen Lian's choice.
When you don't know what's going on behind the fifth-floor door, it's obviously more sensible to wait for an opportunity to investigate again later than to rush in hastily.
However, she was still a little disappointed.
"You should take mine," she said.
Shen Lian smiled and said, "I wanted to investigate before, but you still objected, didn't you?"
"That's different."
Tianji said: "At that time, it was different from now."
"If I had known that everything in the Beidou Tower in Taihe City had been moved here, I would have gone with you."
Shen Lian said meaningfully: "Tianji, it seems that you care about the fifth floor very much?"
Tianji's eyes flashed, and she hummed: "It's like you don't care."
Shen Lian thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true."
He did not dwell on this matter with Tianji.
He continued: "In addition to this reason, I did not enter the fifth floor. There is another more important reason."
"what reason?"
Tianji is puzzled.
Apart from reason and danger, what other reasons could block Shen Lian's actions.
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and said slowly: "Xin Yuheng's obstruction!"
"What!?"
"New Yuheng!?"
This time, even Sishe couldn't help but scream in surprise.
He looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and asked, "Master, have you met Xin Yuheng?"
Tianji also looked directly at him.
Shen Lian said: "To tell you the truth, when I first arrived in front of the fifth floor door, someone followed me."
"Because there is no place to hide there, I am ready to take action to deal with the people who come up."
"But the man seemed to sense the danger and stopped at the corner."
"Then she started introducing herself."
"She said she was Xin Yuheng. She also told me that there was an ambush on the fifth floor and asked me not to go in."
"Then she said she wanted to work with me!"
"cooperate!?"
Tianji and Sishe were both startled.
They never thought it would develop like this.
He never thought that Xin Yuheng would propose cooperation.
You know, the people in the Beidou Society are not very good.
At least Shen Lian and the others met no one who said they wanted to cooperate, except for Tianji who could cooperate for a while.
And Tianji... was forced to cooperate with Shen Lian.
But what about the new Yuheng?
But he took the initiative to send an invitation to Shen Lian to cooperate with Shen Lian.
This really surprised and surprised them.
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and said, "It seems that you are also surprised, so..."
He said: "Tianji, do you think this matter... is to a certain extent true or false?"
"Xin Yuheng, do you really want to cooperate with me?"
Tianji heard Shen Lian's words and stopped arguing with Shen Lian.
She frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "It's hard to say."
"It stands to reason that this new Yuheng was promoted by Beichen and should be from Beichen."
"But the people in the Beidou Club are all very independent and capable people."
"With such a person, anything is possible."
"So, if there is any reason why this new Yuheng must go against Beichen, then it is possible that she will take the initiative to seek cooperation with you."
"but……"
Tianji paused and said: "What I said is possible, but it is a certain possibility, not certain~"
"After all, Beichen is so cunning. He may have deliberately let Xin Beichen lure you into the trap."
When Sishe heard this, she felt that what Tianji said was completely different from what she didn't say.
Still not sure?
But Shen Lian heard something special from Tianji's words.
He looked at Tianji, picked it lightly with his finger, and said, "So, are you leaning towards the direction where Xin Yuheng is really likely to... find me to cooperate?"
Tianji was not surprised that Shen Lian heard his thoughts. If a monster like Shen Lian didn't hear his thoughts, then something was wrong.
She nodded and said: "Yes, I think there is a certain probability that this new Yuheng really wants to cooperate with you."
"First of all, you also said that in the situation at that time, there was a door behind you, and there was an ambush behind the door."
"So, if Xin Yuheng really wants to deal with you, really wants to harm you, then if she shouts a few times at that time, the people behind the door may be able to hear her and come out."
"In that case, you will definitely be in danger!"
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "It is indeed possible!"
Tianji continued: "Secondly, it's not like Beichen would do something so obvious that would make you suspicious."
"If you let Xin Yuheng pretend to cooperate with you, you will definitely be suspicious of Xin Yuheng. When the time comes, if you try to trick him, he will be in danger."
"Not to mention, Xin Yuheng can find you, so Beichen will definitely be able to find you. He is not a person who likes to beat around the bush, so he can attack you directly, so there is no need to rely on Xin Yuheng."
"So, based on what I know about him, it doesn't seem like Beichen would do such a crooked thing... Of course, if he has other conspiracies, that's another story."
Shen Lian glanced at Tianji, tapped his fingers on the table, and nodded: "What you said makes sense."
"That's it, I'll think about it again."
He stopped continuing the topic and asked: "During my absence, has anyone come to see us?"
Sishe shook his head: "No."
Shen Lian nodded: "That'll be fine."
He glanced outside. It was very dark outside and no sound could be heard. It seemed that Xin Yuheng really didn't do anything.
He said: "It's getting late, let's all go to bed. Tomorrow is the day of pilgrimage. It is expected to be very lively. For us, there may be some unexpected gains."
After saying that, he lay down directly.
Sishe and Tianji looked at each other and lay down one after another without any further delay.
Soon, there was no sound in the room.
Shen Lian was lying flat on his back with his eyes open, looking aimlessly at the beam above his head.
He was thinking about Xin Yuheng.
To be honest, Qin Wenyuan was really surprised by Xin Yuheng's sudden request for cooperation.
This was the first person from the Beidou Society who took the initiative to seek cooperation with him.
…………
If he can really cooperate with Xin Yuheng, there is no doubt that it will be of great benefit to him.
This is equivalent to having an internal response directly in the Beidou Club.
This temptation for Shen Lian was huge.
Shen Lian also wanted to cooperate with Xin Yuheng.
But he was worried that Xin Yuheng's motives were impure, or in other words, it was simply a trap.
Therefore, he came back to ask Tianji. Based on Tianji's understanding of the Beidou Society, he might give him some constructive suggestions.
Sure enough, Tianji gave him advice.
But Tianji's opinion is too obvious.
She had never met Xin Yuheng, nor had she personally experienced her situation at that time, so she tended to believe that Xin Yuheng sincerely wanted to cooperate with her.
This point... made Shen Lian a little concerned.
He always had a feeling.
Tianji, it seems... really wants to promote cooperation between himself and Xin Yuheng.
Is this... an illusion?
Or, what role did Tianji play in it?
One night passed by without incident.
The next day, early in the morning, there was a loud noise outside.
At the same time, the drumming sound also sounded.
Shen Lian was in a daze, feeling the thunder of war drums, which almost caused him to fight with the enemy in his dream.
Then, under Si She's soft call, he slowly opened his eyes.
"what sound?"
Shen Lian yawned. He glanced outside and saw that it was just getting dark, but it was not particularly bright.
There is only a ray of sunshine coming from the east.
This is really not a good time to get up.
Si She said: "It seems that there is some kind of ceremony outside to welcome Empress Beidou and to welcome Empress Beidou's consciousness into the statue."
Shen Lian curled his lips and said, "If I were Empress Beidou, if they woke me up so early in the morning and didn't let me have a good night's sleep, they still expect me to bless them. Just dream."
Complaints are complaints.
Shen Lian still stretched and stood up.
He put on his clothes, washed briefly, and then said, "Let's go, it's so lively outside, let's go take a look."
"Welcome to the gods? I am really curious about how they welcome the gods."
As he spoke, Shen Lian walked to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened, the thumping sound became more obvious.
The sound echoed in my ears, causing my eardrums to hurt.
"Disturbing people, this is a crime!"
He muttered and walked out of the room.
Without the guidance of people in Beidou Temple, you can find the place where the ceremony is being held just by listening to the sound.
After passing through the corridor, we came to the square below the Beidou Tower.
At this time, the square was full of people.
Many believers are praying devoutly here.
In front of the believers, there is a large altar.
On the altar, there is a statue of Beidou Empress.
The statue is covered with gold paint and looks magnificent.
Shen Lian took a look and found that this statue should be a statue on the third floor of the Beidou Tower.
And this statue has a gentle and kind smile on its face, which is very healing at first glance.
"The statue of Taihe City?"
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows slightly.
"The Beidou Temple in Dali City holds pilgrimage activities. Why don't you use your own statues instead of Taihe City's statues?"
"Do you think the statues here look sad and look ugly?"
Shen Lian was a little puzzled.
Sishe and Tianji obviously recognized it. This statue looked like the one they had seen in Taihe City before.
Both of them were also a little surprised.
