Chapter 321: Cooperation! This plan is about to be successful!
Abao: “….…”
Is this gap a bit too big?
He couldn't help but said: "Sir, will this... make Chu Suiliang angry?"
Shen Lian smiled and said: "Ah Bao, you underestimate the broad-mindedness of a man like Chu Suiliang who has a great ambition, and you also underestimate his ambition. If he is really so narrow-minded, he will not respond to me."
"You go and tell him for now, just say, I am walking in Chang'an with good news about him."
Seeing Shen Lian's calm and composed face, Ah Bao thought about it and nodded directly.
Then he took the letter and left quickly.
Shen Lian leaned back and looked at the blue sky outside through the window. The corners of his mouth raised slightly at this moment.
"Chu Suiliang came at the right time. Originally, I was worried that I would not be able to find a suitable person to go to Dali Temple to act as the eyes of the Prince of Chu's Palace. Now it's better..."
He narrowed his eyes slightly: "The last two chess pieces of Wanbang's coming to court are also in place."
…………
Time flew by and three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
In the past three days, it can be said that the Council of Nations has made no progress at all.
Although the Council of Nations convened as usual, most people remained silent. Even if they put forward some suggestions, they ended up with no response.
In Abao's opinion, these three days were simply a waste of time.
But my master had a calm and indifferent face, as if he didn't care at all about the wasted three days.
This made Ah Bao feel a little annoyed.
This day, afternoon.
Today's Council of Nations once again ended without any gains.
Abao saw that Shen Lian didn't care at all, and couldn't help but said: "Sir, please forgive me for talking, why don't you speak? The Council of All Nations has obviously been messing around in the past few days, wasting time! If you have this time, what can you do?"
Abao really felt sorry for Shen Lian's time being wasted like this.
Shen Lian glanced at Ah Bao and said with a smile: "What? Can't help it?"
Abao nodded dully.
Shen Lian suddenly laughed and said, "That's almost it."
"What?" Abao was startled.
Shen Lian said: "Even you, the organizer, can't bear it anymore, so these envoys who have traveled thousands of miles to come to our Tang Dynasty must also be able to endure it to the limit."
"They came to Datang with such trouble, not to waste their time. Do you think that my time is precious, and their time is not?"
Abao was thoughtful.
Shen Lian glanced at Ah Bao and said calmly: "Those who can serve as envoys are not ordinary people in this country. You can tell by looking at their identities. Qi Hela is the prince of Tubo and the future successor of the Tubo Khan. , I have the same status as the Prince of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Aguda, the eldest prince of Tiele, it is said that Tiele Khan is ready to appoint him as his successor! Anthony, the prime minister of the Dashi Kingdom, has the same status as Lord Fang and Lord Changsun!"
"So you think their time is not valuable? Do you think they will feel better if they have made no progress in these three days? After all, they single-handedly promoted this Council of Nations."
"As a result, so many days have passed and nothing has been harvested. If we say they are anxious, it is only because they are more anxious than us."
When Ah Bao heard Shen Lian's words, his mind suddenly became much clearer.
He was moved in his heart and said: "If that's the case, then why are they still..."
"Are you still wasting your time here?
Shen Lian continued with a smile.
Abao nodded quickly.
Shen Lian chuckled, raised his head and looked at the fiery sunset in the west, and said calmly: "Because they haven't made a decision yet, have you forgotten the two paths I told you before? Which path to choose is important to them. , the difference is huge.”
"The impact could be huge!"
"So, they have to take time to think about it?"
"but….…"
Shen Lian withdrew his gaze, looked at Abao, and said, "Now that you can't sit still, they should be reaching their limit as well. If what I expected is true, they should make a decision in just one or two days." Already."
"Commander Shen..."
At this moment, as soon as Shen Lian finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
When Abao heard this voice, he suddenly turned his head and looked.
Shen Lian's eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Then Shen Lian and the others saw an envoy standing behind them. This envoy was none other than Anthony, the Prime Minister of the Dashi Kingdom.
When Anthony saw Shen Lian looking at him, he smiled and said, "Commander Shen, let's talk?"
Abao seemed to understand something and couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Shen Lian in surprise.
I was really told by my own adults!
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here!
Shen Lian's expression did not change at all. He nodded slightly: "Of course, it is my duty to have friendly exchanges with the envoy."
"please!"
Anthony invited Shen Lian to his courtyard, Tiangang No. 2 Courtyard!
The previous battle with Tubo for No. 1 Courtyard failed, and now I am temporarily living here.
After entering the hall, Shen Lian found that there was already someone waiting in the hall.
And this person was none other than the Tubo Prince Chihe La.
Abao's expression was slightly strange when he saw Qihela. Aren't Qihela and Anthony inseparable?
How can we be together at this time?
Seemingly seeing Abao's confusion, Anthony smiled and said: "On some small matters, His Highness Tubo and I do have some conflicts, but on major issues of right and wrong, we still stand together."
This seems to be an explanation.
But Shen Lian knew that this was specifically to remind him that Tubo and the Dashi Kingdom were now united.
For the union of two very powerful empires in the world, you, Datang, had better give it some face.
However, Shen Lian really didn't feel the threat posed by the two pieces on his chessboard combined.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't care and said: "You two come to me, tell me what your purpose is."
"I have important matters to attend to and cannot stay for long."
Seeing Shen Lian coming to the point, Qihela and Anthony looked at each other, and then Anthony smiled and said: "We have a great thing that we want to give to Datang."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "What good thing?" Shen Lian asked.
Anthony stared into Shen Lian's dark eyes and spoke slowly: "How about squeezing small countries, extracting benefits from small countries, and strengthening our country... Let the strong be stronger and the weak weaker, and lay the foundation for our strong country?"
…………
Two quarters of an hour later.
Anthony enthusiastically sent Shen Lian out of Tiangang No. 2 Courtyard.
After Shen Lian left, his smile suddenly faded and he returned to the hall.
Qihela looked sternly and said, "Can he fall into the trap?"
A sinister look flashed through Anthony's eyes, and he said: "Are you not tempted by such a benefit?"
Qi Hela thought for a while, then nodded, and said sincerely: "My heart is moved! It devours the interests of a small country, and it doesn't have to pay anything, and it doesn't have to be fought with real swords and guns. Don't let this benefit go to waste..."
Anthony smiled and said: "Yes, you can be moved, so how can Shen Lian not be moved?"
"And as long as his heart moves, our plan will come true."
He said: "Shen Lian will definitely be sure that we don't dare to bully those small countries casually. We are worried that the small countries will follow the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he is confident but also arrogant."
"And we took advantage of his mentality to get rid of the well-intentioned envoys of the Tang Dynasty. The help of the Tang Dynasty will definitely make the envoys of small countries extremely disappointed."
"When the time comes, don't they still have to listen to us? After Datang has destroyed those trusts, we will find a scapegoat, and then everything will be back on track. When we deal with Datang, Shen Lian is the only one... You Do you think he can still make a difference?"
"He has to listen to the opinions of more than a hundred countries, whether he wants to or not..."
He slapped the table: "You have to listen too!"
Heila listened to Anthony's words with a proud smile on his face.
He said: "You are so insidious. It will be unlucky for Shen Lian to meet you."
Anthony smiled and said: "Jiang is still old, he is too young after all."
…………
Outside the inn.
Abao followed Shen Lian as he walked on the street.
He looked at Shen Lian and hesitated many times.
"Okay, don't hold it in, talk if you have something to say."
Shen Lian seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and he could directly see through A Bao's thoughts.
Abao couldn't help but said: "Sir, do you really want to join forces with them?"
"Join forces?"
Shen Lian sneered: "What you see is a joint effort, what I see is endless murderous intentions and well-planned traps."
"Ah?" Abao was stunned.
Shen Lian said calmly: "If it were you, you have spent so much energy and price scheming against someone, and in the end you have two choices, one is to continue scheming against that person, and the other is to share the benefits equally with that person. If it's you... .…What would you choose?”
"of course."
Abao said: "Of course I will continue to plot against him! How can we share the benefits equally with him!"
Shen Lian shrugged and said, "That's it."
"That……."
Abao couldn't help but look at Shen Lian and said, "Sir, why did you agree so happily just now?"
"If you don't agree, how can you take advantage of the situation?"
Shen Lian squinted his eyes, and his smile was a little scary.
He said: "It seems that I, Shen Lian, have such a good image these days that they dare to plot against me."
"So, how can I not help them recognize some cruel facts?"
Shen Lian raised his eyes, looked at the last ray of light in the sky, and said meaningfully: "Ah Bao, it's getting dark, and when the night is dark and windy and murderous, the time... has come."
…………
The next day.
Autumn is crisp.
Late autumn has arrived, and the leaves are falling.
The farmers' crops are almost finished harvesting, the weather is getting colder day by day, and winter is coming soon.
An autumn rain and a cold. It rained a little last night.
When she woke up this morning, the weather was a bit colder, so Shen Lian had to change into an autumn gown.
"Sir." Abao and Ali both bowed to Shen Lian.
"Um."
Qin Wenyuan nodded and walked in front.
After walking for a while, I turned back and spoke.
"Hurry up. Starting today, the show will really start. Don't let me get in trouble."
At this time, Shen Lian's voice came from the front.
Abao and Ali looked at each other, nodded quickly, and then ran after them.
…………
After Shen Lian and others arrived at the inn.
Envoys from various countries have already gathered in the hall.
Compared with the previous few days, when Shen Lian stepped into the hall this time, he felt a different atmosphere than before.
Some envoys from small countries looked at him with angry expressions.
But when Qihe La and Anthony saw Shen Lian, they smiled and took the initiative to nod to Shen Lian.
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
Did he deliberately leak the news of his alliance to the envoys of a small country that favored the Tang Dynasty?
Oh, I really can’t wait!
It’s just how much they underestimate themselves!
If Shen Lian did this, he would definitely cover it up.
Because once it is leaked in advance, it is likely to be noticed by the other party.
So... What makes Anthony and the others feel that they are completely unaware of what they have done?
Are you so insensitive to them?
Can't even tell the hostility of others?
When Shen Lian saw Qila and Anthony looking at him with a smile, he couldn't help but laugh.
He was laughed out of anger!
These two idiots.
Don’t you know what’s waiting for them?
Shen Lian felt that he really needed to tell them about the cases he had handled in the past few months.
Let them know how many people have called the person they are plotting against a devil!
Let them know what is waiting for them.
Not even Beichen or Tianquan dared to look at him with such a smile.
But they dare...
Shen Lian couldn't help but rub his forehead. It's true that the ignorant are fearless!
In this case, let's give them some color for a while.
Shen Lian returned the same smile.
And his smile was even brighter.
Shen Lian walked to the main seat and sat down directly.
Then, as usual, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. As if he was not aware of the special atmosphere in the hall, he smiled and said: "It has been four days since the Parliament of All Nations was convened, but something happened on the first day. Unexpectedly, there was nothing gained in the next three days. This kind of efficiency is really low."
"So I hope that on the fifth day, there can be some improvement, at least some real progress can be made. Otherwise, everyone's time is very precious, and it is wasted like this. It is really not good. What do you think?"
The Tubo prince Chehela laughed, nodded and said, "Yes, I also believe that we must make some progress today, otherwise I will feel aggrieved."
Anthony, the envoy of the Great Food Kingdom, also nodded and pointedly said: "It's time for some changes."
"After all, everything has been settled, and Shen Lian, it seems, has indeed fallen into the trap."
"Our plan must succeed."
Both of them smiled brightly at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian responded with an even brighter smile.
This gave others the feeling that these three people were very familiar with each other.
Those envoys from small countries looked even more ugly.
Some of the envoys who had already favored Shen Lian looked much colder at this moment.
