Chapter 450: Not realistic! Get to the bottom of it!
How could the white-haired Taoist not see that Shen Lian was deliberately changing the topic, but he did not dwell on the matter, as if what he just said was really just said casually.
He made another move and said, "Then let's talk about it."
"There are too many things about your father. If we keep talking about it, we won't be able to finish it in three days, so I will give you a chance to ask a few questions. You ask and I will answer."
"I promise, I won't hide anything, how about that?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Why did my father come to Nanzhao?"
The white-haired Taoist said: "I came here for a beauty."
"Beauty?"
Shen Lian's eyes widened.
He was already two years old at the time.
His dad came here just for the beauty. Damn it, he’s such an old scumbag!
The white-haired Taoist looked at Shen Lian's unexpected expression and smiled: "What? You don't believe it?"
"Then it seems that you don't know your father very well. Your father is very handsome and has good luck with women. What does it mean to have a few beauties?"
"Now your father has many beauties waiting for you. If you go to them, maybe they will be willing to be your mother."
Shen Lian: "..."
Shen Lian didn't know if the white-haired Taoist was deliberately disgusting him, or if his father was really that scumbag.
Xin Yuheng suddenly spoke at this time and said: "My benefactor... is not like that anymore. In fact, my benefactor is still very emotional."
have to!
It's okay for Xin Yuheng not to explain to his father.
After she explained it like this, Shen Lian believed 80% of it.
What an old scumbag!
How did you give birth to such a dedicated son?
"Who is that beauty?" Shen Lian spoke again.
He was very curious about which beauty his father, as a shadow guard, dared to come to Nanzhao alone for.
The white-haired Taoist shook his head this time and said, "I can't talk about this. Let's change the question."
Shen Lian glared at him: "You are cheating!"
The white-haired Taoist smiled and said, "I only said you would ask questions and I would answer them, but I didn't promise that I would definitely answer them."
"Keep asking. The initiative is not in your hands. It is in my hands. You have no choice."
For the first time, Shen Lian felt bullied.
He looked at the white-haired Taoist with squinted eyes, and suddenly his eyes flashed, and he said: "Could the beauty my father is looking for... be the Beidou Empress?"
As soon as Shen Lian's words came out, he stared directly at the white-haired Taoist.
He wanted to find some flaws in the white-haired Taoist's eyes that could prove his guess.
Shen Lian's guess was quite bold.
After all, he had previously speculated that the Beidou Empress might be husband and wife or related to Beichen as an elder or junior.
But now, his thoughts suddenly changed.
He suddenly felt that his father was such a scumbag, yet he was so popular with girls, and he even traveled thousands of miles to Nanzhao, and even personally saved the fragile Beidou Society... all these behaviors seemed to be the only one he could think of. This can only be explained by the reason why Dad came here for Empress Beidou herself.
Otherwise, all other reasons will be untenable.
But this guess was really too bold, and it also overturned some of his previous speculations.
So he needs some evidence.
However... the white-haired Taoist in front of him was like an old monk with no waves in the ancient well, with no fluctuation in his expression.
He just picked up the chess piece, gently placed it on the chessboard, and then said: "Don't guess. Since I said I won't tell you, I won't tell you. No matter if you guess right or wrong, I won't tell you." I won't give you any answer."
"So, stop doing useless work."
The white-haired Taoists are a steady group who don't get too much oil and salt.
This made Shen Lian feel troubled for the first time.
But precisely because of this, the combative mood in Shen Lian's heart was also aroused.
It's been a long time since he met such a well-matched opponent. Tianji, who used to be an opponent, has been subdued by him recently and can no longer challenge him.
And Beichen, the only one who could become his opponent, also often faced each other from a distance, so it was difficult for him to fight against each other face to face like now.
Therefore, Shen Lian did not feel beaten at this moment, but was full of high fighting spirit.
He looked at the white-haired Taoist and said, "Haven't you heard a sentence?"
"What are you talking about?" the white-haired Taoist asked curiously.
Shen Lian: "Not answering means acquiescence."
"So, my father did come here for Lady Beidou, and you also said that Lady Beidou is my father's beauty, so she is my aunt? It seems that I can still be a son of a god. , after all, we are really related."
Xin Yuheng and the white-haired Taoist were speechless for a while.
How did your relative get a job?
Hard climb?
People say you don’t answer whether you guess right or wrong. How come it’s the default?
The two of them realized Shen Lian's shamelessness for the first time.
Xin Yuheng couldn't help but said: "Is it appropriate for you to arrange your father to find a wife for him like this?"
"What's inappropriate?"
Shen Lian said nonchalantly: "What man doesn't like having more wives? As a son, I don't object at all. On the contrary, I support it. My father must be very happy."
Xin Yuheng suddenly looked at Shen Lian with a faint look: "So, do you also like more wives? How many is more? Seven or eight? Or dozens?"
Shen Lian: "..."
Looking at Xin Yuheng's faint eyes, Shen Lian suddenly had the illusion that he was looking for a mistress and was discovered by his wife.
He coughed and said righteously: "My father and I are different. He is a scumbag, but I am not a scumbag."
Xin Yuheng: "..."
This time it was the white-haired Taoist's turn to be unable to bear it anymore: "You talk about your father, aren't you afraid that your father will beat you?"
Shen Lian smiled: "Don't be afraid, my father loves me. I am so well-behaved, smart and motivated, how could he let me go?"
have to!
You can still be eloquent without being shameless.
Both of them were quite speechless.
"okay!"
The white-haired Taoist took a deep breath and stopped the urge to hit him.
He found that his many years of cultivation skills were destroyed by Shen Lian with just one move.
He said: "Let's get down to business. What else do you want to know about your father?"
Shen Lian's eyes suddenly flashed.
The white-haired Taoist took the initiative to end the topic.
What does it mean?
Do you think you can't speak for yourself?
Or……
In Shen Lian's heart, suddenly, vaguely, he seemed to have caught something.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He squinted his eyes, looked at the white-haired Taoist, pondered for a moment, and said: "Next question, you said that my father may not be dead. How to say?"
The white-haired Taoist held the flag in his hand, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Do you know how your father died?"
Shen Lian said: "I died protecting His Majesty."
"How to protect it? Why did he die when others didn't?"
he asked again.
Shen Lian was silent for a moment, then said: "Because you want to be the companion of Beidou Empress Huangquan, and live a carefree and unrestrained life? Riding a horse galloping, sharing the prosperity of the world?"
Xin Yuheng: "..."
White-haired Taoist: "..."
Xin Yuheng has a unique ability. He can always talk about a topic to death in a serious manner.
At this moment, Xin Yuheng and the white-haired Taoist really didn't know what to say when facing Shen Lian.
They also had no idea what kind of brain circuit Shen Lian had that would come up with such an answer.
The white-haired Taoist took a deep breath and reminded himself again to be careful.
He said: "Is it useful to make jokes and make mistakes?"
Shen Lian chuckled: "What do you think?"
He picked up a white piece, pondered for a moment, and dropped it on the chessboard. At the same time, he said: "You know that I can't answer the question you asked, but you still asked it, so what you said is different from what I just said. If so, is there any essential difference?"
"It's all useless nonsense."
"The only difference is that when you asked the question, you saw that I couldn't answer it, and you felt happy. But when I said it, I saw that you were speechless, and I felt happy. It's that simple."
Shen Lian doesn't have any idol baggage, he just says whatever he has.
The other party knew that he could not answer.
After all, how could he know how his father died and why his father died?
From the moment he can remember, the memory of his father dying for Li Er has been deeply rooted in his bones.
And everyone says so.
Even Si She, who worked with his father, said so.
Shen Lian would naturally have no doubts about this past incident that had been ingrained in his mind.
After all, who is okay and would doubt for no reason something that has happened in the past and cannot be investigated?
No matter how smart Shen Lian is, when he handles a case, he still needs some clues, at least some clues that can lead to his investigation.
But regarding his father, he had never found any trace of a problem since he was a child, so why would he go to investigate for no reason?
If he hadn't come here, Shen Lian wouldn't have known that his father still had a relationship with the Beidou Society.
Therefore, the white-haired Taoist in front of me just had no good intentions and wanted to see him in embarrassment.
How could Shen Lian let him have his way?
The white-haired Taoist did not expect Shen Lian to be so straightforward, but he was not angry or disappointed because of Shen Lian's words.
He dropped a sunspot and said, "In that case, let me talk to you."
Shen Lian raised his eyebrows: "I'm all ears."
A trace of reminiscence flashed in the white-haired Taoist's eyes, and he said: "On an autumn night thirteen years ago, something happened in Chang'an City."
"That night, some Qianniu guards in the palace suddenly went crazy. They were originally guarding Li Shimin, but that night, they suddenly held weapons and went crazy to kill Li Er's palace."
"They would kill anyone they met on the road without hesitation, even if those people were once their brothers, but they did not hesitate at all, as if they were beasts without humanity and memory, only killing. desire."
"Because their attack was too sudden, and it was still at night, they were originally on duty, so for a while, it was difficult for others to come to the rescue in time."
"Finally, they reached Li Er's palace, and at that time, there were only a few shadow guards in front of Li Er."
"It can be said that those shadow guards are Li Er's only hope in the end. Once those shadow guards are finished, Li Er will also be finished."
Shen Lian listened quietly to the white-haired Taoist's words.
He would not believe everything this person said, but he would listen carefully, and at the same time simulate the scene in his mind, relying on logical relationships to smooth out the matter and confirm its authenticity.
The white-haired Taoist continued without pausing: "At that time, there were a large number of crazy Qianniu Guards, dozens of times more than the Shadow Guards, and Li Er and the others were trapped in the palace. It can be said that there was no chance at all. , able to kill out!"
"I just said that at that time, it was late at night, and there was another disturbance inside the palace. The guards outside didn't even know about it, and they couldn't arrive quickly. It can be said... At that time, I think it should be Li Er The most desperate time!"
"And at that critical moment, your father..."
The white-haired Taoist looked at Shen Lian and said, "Stand up."
When Shen Lian heard this, his eyes flickered.
He knew that his father had appeared.
Then, will the next moment be the moment when my father dies in your stead in a magnificent way?
He looked at the white-haired Taoist with bright eyes.
The white-haired Taoist glanced at Shen Lian and said, "Your father stood up when Li Er was most desperate."
"At that time, your father was also injured, but while fighting these crazy Qianniu Guards, your father suddenly discovered something."
"That is where Li Er goes, those crazy Qianniu Guards will rush in that direction."
"But he clearly determined that those Qianniu Guards were irrational, so how could they only recognize Li Er~?"
"And your father is as smart as you, so he came to a conclusion after a few special tests."
The white-haired Taoist looked at Shen Lian and asked, "Do you know what the conclusion is?"
Xin Yuheng also looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian pondered for a moment and then said: "Clothes."
"Only the emperor can wear golden clothes, but others are not allowed."
"And at night, the golden clothes are more obvious than the shadow guards' dark clothes, just like a moving lighthouse."
"If those crazy Qianniu Guards are irrational and don't know anyone, but they know His Majesty... I think there is a high probability that they recognize the golden clothes His Majesty is wearing. It may be a yellow robe or a yellow mantle. some type of."
"So, their target is not a specific person, but the person wearing that dress!"
A ripple of approval flashed across Xin Yuheng's beautiful blue eyes.
The white-haired Taoist also nodded with emotion and said: "You are really smart, you discovered the problem so quickly."
The white-haired Taoist said: "Yes, just a yellow mantle."
"Li Er was wearing a yellow mantle at that time, and your father, like you, quickly realized what the goal of those crazy Qianniu Guards was."
"So in order to protect Li Er, he went directly to Li Er, explained the matter, and changed clothes with Li Er."
"Then, he directly killed him alone, and because he was wearing that yellow mantle, those crazy Qianniu Guards also chased him out, so Li Er was safe."
"And your father..."
The white-haired Taoist said calmly: "Later, someone found the body in the pond in the imperial garden."
"But at that time, your father was about to be chopped into pieces by those crazy Qian Niuwei, and his appearance was completely destroyed. If it weren't for the yellow mantle he was wearing, he might not even be able to recognize his identity."
"This... is the whole process of your father dying for Li Er."
After listening to the white-haired Taoist's words, Shen Lian fell into deep thought.
He felt that even if the white-haired Taoist lied to him, he would focus on the details instead of making up the entire incident.
