Chapter 374: Final farewell! About to leave!

Shen Lian smiled and nodded: "Then I won't be too polite to you. Master Chu, Dali Temple depends on you."

He got up and walked to the window.

Looking at the fallen leaves outside the window, he said softly: "It's late autumn. When I go and come back, it may be the New Year."

Chu Suiliang said: "Commander Shen is a little emotional. Could it be that... is Commander Shen also worried about this?"

Chu Suiliang was a little worried.

Shen Lian smiled and shook his head: "There's nothing to worry about. It's just that young people don't know what it feels like to be sad, so they just talk about it to compose new lyrics."

He laughed and walked directly outside.

He raised his right hand high: "Mr. Chu, the Japanese officials will not come here in the next few days. Dali Temple is left to you. Remember, don't let down the innocent people who believe in us!"

Time passes day by day.

As expected, Shen Lian has never been to Dali Temple again in the past few days.

Don't be suspicious when you employ people, don't use people when you are suspicious.

This has always been Shen Lian's philosophy.

Since he and Bai Yanguan jointly chose to believe in Chu Suiliang, since he chose to hand over Dali Temple to Chu Suiliang, then he would completely trust Chu Suiliang.

Therefore, he never asked about the affairs of Dali Temple again.

Instead, he has been shuttling between the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

I will check their progress at the Ministry of Industry Yamen later.

I will go to the Ministry of Finance later to inquire about the mobilization of grain and grass.

This time when the alliance forces are dispatched, each of them is responsible for the food and fodder.

In other words, each country had to provide a portion of its grain and grass, which was then uniformly distributed by the commander-in-chief Xue Rengui.

If Nanzhao is not captured within the planned time, all subsequent provisions will come from the alliance leader Datang.

Doing so can reassure all countries that this expedition will be a bottomless pit that their national strength will be unable to support.

On the other hand, it also demonstrates the spirit of the leader of the Tang Dynasty.

Let the image of Datang be more glorious and make all member countries more convinced.

Datang has done so well in every aspect that no one can find any problems, even if they are looking for faults.

certainly……

Shen Lian didn't want Datang to pay too much.

The reason why he worked hard to establish the alliance was to gain advantage from Datang and benefit from it.

It was not something that Datang simply paid for.

Therefore, he will do his best to allow the alliance army to destroy Nanzhao within the planned time.

With the advantage of the alliance's army and his own assistance, he believed that this would definitely not be a difficult task.

And once Nanzhao is captured, everything in Nanzhao will be theirs.

When the time comes, robbing Nanzhao of things can completely supplement Datang's contribution this time.

In short, Datang definitely made a profit this time.

And it’s a huge profit!

In this way, time passed day by day.

Finally, it was the night before departure.

On this day, as soon as the sun set, Cen Wenwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, hurried to Shen Lian's small yard.

He knocked on Shen Lian's door.

Shen Lian opened the door and saw Cen Wenwen. He smiled and said, "Master Cen is here. I just cooked a bowl of noodles. Let's eat together."

Cen Wenwen was about to refuse when he suddenly smelled that delicious smell.

His eyes lit up and he said, "Commander Shen actually opened his mouth, so I would be disrespectful."

Shen Lian laughed: "It's better to rush early than to rush well. Lord Cen, please invite me."

Then walked into the kitchen.

Cen Wenwen entered the house.

This was his first time coming to Shen Lian's residence.

Looking at the very ordinary decoration in the house, as well as the ordinary cabinets and tables, it is really very different from the layout of the bustling Shen Mansion outside.

He couldn't help but say: "The place where Commander Shen eats is a bit plain."

Shen Lian knew that Cen Wenwen was being very polite and was saying that your home was too shabby.

He smiled and said, "I left this on purpose. This place is full of memories."

Cen Wenwen really didn't know about this. Knowing that he didn't understand the situation just now, he just jumped to conclusions. It was a very wrong behavior.

He quickly said: "I'm sorry, Commander Shen, I don't know about this!"

Shen Lian was still a little resentful in his heart, but when he heard what Cen Wenwen said, his anger suddenly dissipated.

He smiled and replied: "Thank you, Master Cen, for your compliment."

Soon, Shen Lian picked out a bowl of noodles for Cen Wenwen, poured him two spoonfuls of braised noodles, and said, "Master Cen, try my braised noodles."

Cen Wenwen took a bite and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"It's delicious!" he couldn't help but say.

When Shen Lian saw this, he smiled, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

While eating, he said: "Master Cen, you must have something to do when you come to me so late, right?"

Only then did Cen Wenwen remember the business, and he hurriedly said: "Commander Shen, good news!"

"Good thing?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Have you made what I need?"

Cen Wenwen gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from Commander Shen. Yes, after the Ministry of Industry's almost continuous efforts these days, what Commander Shen wants has been completely built."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Tomorrow is the deadline I gave you, and you come here at this time to tell me that there is good news. It would be weird if I couldn't guess what it is."

He took a bite of the noodles and asked, "Has it been tested? How powerful is it?"

Mentioning this, Cen Wenwen looked surprised.

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Commander Shen doesn't know. When we tested it, we never thought it would be so powerful."

"As a result, we almost killed all of our own people."

"Thanks to our quick reaction, if you feel something is wrong, run away quickly, otherwise it will really be over."

Shen Lian looked surprised: "Don't tell me, you didn't expect the power beforehand?"

Cen Wenwen felt a little ashamed and said: "We, we never thought about this, after all...after all, this is something that has never been seen before, and after it was built, everyone was very excited and excited, so they forgot about it."

"As a result of the test, we were all frightened."

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly and said: "You are lucky, God bless you, otherwise, you would all be ashes now."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Cen Wenwen scratched his head, and he was indeed frightened.

Now that I think back to the situation at that time, I still feel a little weak in my legs.

Shen Lian put down his chopsticks and asked, "What do you think of the power?"

"powerful!"

Cen Wenwen didn't even think about it and said: "It's so powerful that it makes people tremble with fear just by looking at it. It's really extremely powerful."

"I believe that if an enemy sees it, he will definitely scare them silly."

"With this magical weapon, if God blocks it, it will kill God, and if Buddha blocks it, it will kill Buddha!"

Shen Lian listened to Cen Wenwen's praise and said with a smile: "It's not as scary as you said, but when the enemy doesn't know anything about us, it will indeed have miraculous effects."

He clapped his hands and said: "Sneak those things into the grain truck of the Ministry of Revenue tonight, and I will take them away tomorrow."

Cen Wenwen would naturally have no objections.

Seeing that Cen Wenwen had eaten cleanly, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Cen, want another bowl?"

Cen Wenwen said: "I'm so sorry."

"It doesn't matter, I always do more."

Shen Lian stood up and helped Cen Wenwen pick another bowl of noodles.

Dong Dong.

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked.

A voice came from outside: "Commander Shen, I just got off duty and I'm very hungry. I'm here to get some food. Do you still have food at home?"

When Shen Lian heard this voice, he shrugged his shoulders like Cen Wenwen and said, "Look, here comes a freeloader."

He walked over and opened the door, and saw Wei Zheng standing outside the door with a accustomed look on his face.

When Wei Zheng saw Shen Lian, he raised the bacon he was carrying and said, "Commander Shen, I didn't come here empty-handed this time. I brought some food and drinks. Let's have a drink. I'm doing it for you." OK."

Shen Lian clapped his tongue and said, "It's rare, Mr. Wei, to come here and take the initiative to bring something."

Wei Zheng smiled and said: "Haha, today is special. Commander Shen will leave tomorrow. I don't know how long it will take for the next meeting."

With that said, Wei Zheng walked towards the house very familiarly.

But when he entered the room and saw Cen Wenwen, he was slightly startled: "Master Cen? Are you here to eat too?"

Cen Wenwen blushed when he was told this.

Shen Lian smiled and scolded: "Master Wei, Master Cen just came to tell me the good news. I happened to be eating, so I invited Master Cen to stay and eat together. Do you think everyone likes to eat as much as you do?"

Wei Zheng directly took the three bowls, opened the wine pot, poured the wine and said with a smile: "I'm just having dinner here with Commander Shen, and I won't even go when other people invite me."

"Well, Commander Shen, I've told you the news, so I'll take my leave." Cen Wenwen felt that it was time for him to leave.

Wei Zheng said: "What are you going to do? Since you are here, let's drink together. Since Commander Shen asked you to stay for dinner, it means that you are all one of our own, so don't be polite. Let's drink together and practice for Commander Shen." .”

But seeing the determination on Qin Wenyuan's face, he had no choice but to give up.

"Ahem, what, drink, drink."

Cen Wenwen felt that after all, his relationship with Shen Lian was not that good yet. They were two good brothers drinking and practicing, so it was inappropriate for him to stay here.

So I was very hesitant and felt that I should leave, but Wei Zheng, a guy with low emotional intelligence, held me back and refused to let me go.

Seeing that Cen Wenwen was very confused, Shen Lian smiled and said, "Master Cen, please stay."

"As for wine, the more people there are, the more lively it becomes."

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "That's right, Master Cen, please don't be polite."

Seeing that Shen Lian had spoken, Cen Wenwen calmed down and said, "Okay, I won't be disrespectful."

Shen Lian laughed, picked up the wine bowl, and said, "Tomorrow, I will go on an expedition with the army. I feel very happy to see you off tonight."

"This shows that I am doing well and there are still people who remember to practice for me."

Wei Zheng laughed, picked up the wine bowl, and said: "Commander Shen is the lucky star of our Tang Dynasty. Without you, the Tang Dynasty still doesn't know what Quyuuli is, so I will never treat Commander Shen." He will let go."

"Master Wei, you are so thick-skinned, I don't know why you have the nerve to stick to me." Shen Lian scolded with a smile.

Wei Zheng chuckled: "It must be said that I have a sharp gaze. I can tell at a glance that it is from Mr. Qin, and that he is extraordinary."

Shen Lian shook his head helplessly.

When Cen Wenwen saw this scene and saw how close Shen Lian and Wei Zheng were, he felt envious in his heart.

In the officialdom, there are many people who call themselves brothers and brothers.

But how many people can be like Shen Lian and Wei Zheng?

At least there is no such thing as Cen Wenwen.

That's why he felt so envious.

The trust between Shen Lian and Wei Zheng was something even he could feel.

"Come on, why are you standing there, drinking."

Shen Lian held up the wine bowl and said.

Cen Wenwen and Wei Zheng raised their wine bowls and touched each other.

Then he drank all the wine in the bowl in a big gulp.

After putting down the wine bowl, Wei Zheng picked up the wine jug and poured wine again.

"Commander Shen, just drink enough tonight. I will rush to Nanzhao tomorrow, so I won't have a chance to drink."

"Nanzhao is not as dangerous as the Tang Dynasty, so Mr. Qin, even if you are greedy for wine, you must not drink. If you drink and miss something, it will be bad."

Shen Lian smiled and said: "Master Wei, do you think I am you and you are still craving for wine? When have you ever seen me craving for anything?"

"Ha ha."

Wei Zheng put down the wine bottle and said with a smile: "My officer, aren't you worried? We are going to Nanzhao and the road ahead is steep. Naturally, we are afraid that something might happen to Mr. Qin."

"Do not worry."

Shen Lian picked up a piece of bacon and said, "If anything happens to anyone, I will be fine."

"I am going to Nanzhao to destroy Nanzhao, not to be destroyed."

"And we are the ones taking the initiative. We have the advantage in all aspects. I am also aware of any problems that may exist, so nothing will happen."

Shen Lian is really confident.

He never did anything unprepared.

If he is not sure, he will never take risks easily.

His life was so precious, and he would not put himself in danger of losing it at any time.

Wei Zheng heard Shen Lian's words and said, "I'll be relieved then."

Wei Zheng knew Shen Lian, and if Shen Lian said he was sure, then he must be sure.

So he directly raised the wine bowl and said: "Commander Shen, come here, I respect you and wish you victory and return victorious!"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "I accept your good advice."

…………

The night ends and the day dawns.

The first ray of morning sunlight shone through the window lattice, waking Shen Lian from his deep sleep.

Shen Lian opened his eyes and felt a slight pain in his forehead.

"This Wei Zheng knew that I was going to go on an expedition, yet he still poured so much wine on me."

Shen Lian stood up helplessly and washed his face with cold water. They drank very late last night, and Shen Lian didn't even know Wei Zheng was so good at talking.

Shen Lian couldn't keep his eyes open as he insisted, and Wei Zheng was helped away by Cen Wenwen.

And Shen Lian rarely drank too much.

However, although I drank a lot, I was really happy.

I am about to travel far, and it is a joyful thing to have friends to practice for me.

After he finished washing, he picked up the horizontal knife and tied it directly to his waist.

Then he pushed open the door and walked out.

At this time, a group of people was already standing outside the door.

Xu Gou, Si Snake, and Xue Rengui are all waiting for me.

"Young Master/Commander Shen."

Seeing Shen Lian, they all bowed to Shen Lian.

Shen Lian nodded slightly, strode out and said, "Let's go, it's time to set off!"

Shen Lian was wearing a green shirt this time. He was not wearing an official robe or armor.

The whole person gives people a very free and comfortable feeling.
