Tianji took a sip of tea and rolled his eyes again.
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and said, "Let's not talk about Beichen."
"I want to ask you, do you know who the people or forces are in the two strongholds besides the Beidou Society?"
Tianji narrowed his eyes and said, "You can't even find out for such a smart person. Do you think I can find out?"
Shen Lian said: "I thought he was your traveler, or at least someone you knew."
Tianji shook his head: "I really don't know."
"Actually, I'm also confused."
Tianji said: "Who in Chang'an City is so capable that he can find the Beidou Society's stronghold earlier than you and I, and can kill it easily?"
"I thought about everyone I know or heard of, but no one has such ability."
"unless……"
She looked at Shen Lian and said, "It's Tianquan."
"My dad?"
Shen Lian shook his head: "It can't be him."
"Now that he has been exposed, there is no need to continue pretending to be dead, so if he comes to Chang'an, he will definitely see me."
"It's been so many days and no one has looked for me, so it definitely can't be him."
Tianji said: "Then I don't know who it is."
"As far as I know, only Tianquan has this ability and ability. Others are a little behind."
Shen Lian leaned back, raised his head, looked at the dancing shadows of the trees, looked through the leaves at the mottled sky, and said, "This man is really mysterious!"
"There are not many people in this world who can hide things from you and me at the same time."
Tianji glanced at Shen Lian and said, "You haven't told me yet what Beichen's goal is."
Shen Lian smiled: "I thought I changed the topic very successfully."
Tianji laughed and said, "Although I'm not as smart as you, I won't be led astray by you so easily, right?"
Shen Lian nodded slightly.
He held the tea cup and said: "Officials meeting."
"Officials meeting?"
Tianji thought for a while and said: "An official meeting of the Ministry of Personnel?"
Shen Lian looked at him: "You know?"
Tianji nodded: "Don't forget, I fought with you for a long time before the Beidou Society was exposed."
"So I know a lot about your court."
"The Officials Conference is a conference held by the Ministry of Civil Affairs for officials from all over the country to brainwash... and learn. Hundreds of officials participate in this conference every time."
"If Beichen takes action against him, once successful, it will be enough to make you lose control of the Tang Dynasty."
"It seems that the official meeting is in line with Beichen's goals."
Shen Lian said: "Furthermore, it is difficult for Beichen to control the officials of the Officials Conference because it is difficult to supervise them at the local level. Therefore, it is easy for Beichen to control a few. Therefore, this is in line with what you said about having internal responses."
"In addition, these officials in the official meeting are all powerless civil servants. If they are trapped by Beichen, they will have no power to resist. It will not be difficult for Beichen to use them as hostages."
Tianji nodded in agreement.
"And this official meeting has been held many times, and the officials are all used to it. The power of protection will not be as strong as when it was held for the first time. In addition, the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce will be held at the same time, and the power of Chang'an City will be even more If it is tilted towards the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce, the official assembly will have even less guarding power."
She looked at Shen Lian and said, "The official meeting almost perfectly meets all the conditions I mentioned."
Shen Lian nodded: "Not bad."
Tianji said: "Did you have other considerations before?"
Shen Lian said: "Your Majesty's sacrifice to heaven."
"Festival to God..."
Tianji said: "Although it is said that sacrifices to the heavens are held every month, after all, it is the emperor himself who takes action, and the guard strength will not decrease just because it happens frequently. Therefore, it is too difficult and the risk is too high. It is difficult for Beichen to do it under His Majesty's control." Place men in the Imperial Guard."
"If there are only sacrifices to heaven and officials' meetings, then it must be the officials' meeting."
Shen Lian said: "I asked Mr. Fang and Mr. Changsun successively, and the suggestions they gave were to hold an official meeting and worship the heaven. No other large-scale things will happen in a short period of time."
"That's the officials meeting!"
Tianji looked at Shen Lian and said, "I fully support your judgment."
Shen Lian smiled.
"If you don't support it, that's what I think."
Tianji ignored Shen Lian's words and asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"Does this need to be said?"
Shen Lian raised the corner of his mouth, took a slow sip of tea, and said, "Of course, prepare everything, and then wait for you to enter the urn!"
"I just don't know if Beichen will take action himself this time, or if he will be a puppet again."
……………………
Tianji said: "Unless he uses up all his puppets, he will not show up in person."
"This guy is extremely cautious."
"I fought with him many times when I was at the Beidou Club, but I still never saw his true face."
"This person, I doubt he could be someone I know."
"It's really too mysterious."
"So if you hope that he will take action personally, the probability is not high."
Shen Lian nodded in agreement.
…
He and Beichen have also fought against each other many times.
But until now, he didn't know anything about Beichen.
However, he did know some clues about Beichen.
He said: "I know Beichen must be quite old. I once found a few gray hairs in his hiding place."
"At the same time, I also know that he has six fingers."
"Six fingers?"
Tianji frowned: "Are you really sure he has six fingers?"
Shen Lian nodded.
Tianji said: "But when I was at the Beidou meeting, he obviously only had five fingers. Why didn't I notice that he had six fingers?"
"Five fingers?"
Shen Lian and Tianji looked at each other.
Both of them saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.
Tianji said: "Did I see a puppet, or did you see a puppet?"
"Or maybe, what we see are just puppets!"
"The real Beichen has never shown his face from the beginning to the end!"
The leaders among the smartest people in the world now looked at each other.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tianji looked at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian was also looking at Tianji.
At this moment, their understanding of Beichen was completely refreshed.
And, I somewhat doubt my own judgment.
Shen Lian looked at Tianji and said, "Don't rush to a conclusion yet, let's wait and see."
Tianji is also a smart person, so he naturally knows that he needs to maintain absolute rationality and calmness at this time.
She said: "Sweep it."
Shen Lian said: "How many times have you seen Beichen?"
Tianji said: "After Tianquan left the Beidou Society, he used his power to push me into Tianji's position."
"After becoming Tianji, Beichen and I have met more often. We can see each other more than a dozen times every year, which is quite a lot."
Shen Lian nodded.
He continued to ask: "In the past ten years, every time you saw Beichen, did Beichen match the knowledge in your memory?"
Tianji understood what Shen Lian meant.
Shen Lian asked this mainly because he wanted to know whether the Beichen he saw every time in Tianji's memory was the same Beichen.
Was there any situation where other people were replaced in the process?
Tianji frowned and thought.
But after a while, she shook her head and said, "I can't remember clearly."
"It's been a long time ago. I can't remember things that happened more than ten years ago very clearly."
"However, I think even if there is a change, it shouldn't be big...at least I can't tell it."
Shen Lian said in disappointment: "I can't remember the memory of only ten years?"
"Tianji, your memory is too bad."
Tianji: "...can you remember?"
"Why can't you remember?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "As long as it is something I have experienced or done, it will be completely stored in my brain. How can I forget it?"
Tianji didn’t believe it.
She said: "What was the first thing you said to me when we first met?"
"Tianshu, I'm really not lazy!"
Shen Lian said calmly.
"At that time, the Beidou Society still existed. The Tianshu you replaced became the Tianshu of the Beidou Society, and then I also replaced someone else."
"You met me in private. I imitated that person's tone and spoke to you."
Tianji was shocked.
She looked at Shen Lian with wide eyes and said, "You actually remember? I even forgot!"
Shen Lian shrugged and said, "I told you, I remember it clearly, it's nothing at all."
"Tell me, are you getting older and your memory is declining?"
Tianji rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think everyone is a monster like you?"
"Just because you can remember it, doesn't mean others can do it."
Shen Lian thought for a while, then nodded.
"That's true, if such geniuses are still in the minority."
Tianji didn't want to talk to Shen Lian anymore, this guy was so shameless.
Shen Lian smiled, relaxed the atmosphere, and then said: "You didn't find something wrong with Beichen. Did you really not find it? Or maybe you never thought that the Beichen you saw might not be the real body, so you didn't observe carefully. Yes, ignored?"
Tianji thought for a while and then said: "I haven't observed it carefully..."
"After all, at that time, I never thought that Beichen would use puppets when he met the Star Masters of the Beidou Society."
"So, I'm not sure whether Beichen is the original body."
Shen Lian nodded.
Tianji looked at Shen Lian again and asked, "How are you sure Beichen has six fingers?"
Shen Lian said: "I once discovered a courtyard inside the Beidou Tower of Beidou Temple in Nanzhao."
"The courtyard retains its original appearance."
"Then, in the woodshed in the yard, I found a pair of gloves with six fingers on them."
"I suspect that the courtyard is where Beichen once lived. It was moved to the Beidou Tower because it was too commemorative."
"Later, when I returned to Chang'an, I went to look for clues about a Yuchundang in Nanzhao, and I found a peripheral member of the Beidou Society."
"That member doesn't know who his master is, but he has seen that his master has six fingers."
"I suspect that his allegiance to his master is Beichen, because only Beichen can be so mysterious, not even telling the people who are loyal to him any information."
"So, taking all this into account, I think Beichen has six fingers."
Tianji frowned.
She said: "Your inference actually has some basis."
"So, which one is true? Which one is false? How many secrets does Beichen hide?"
Shen Lian and Tianji fell into deep thought again.
The intelligence of the two of them is not much different from the ceiling level in this world.
But at this time, these two extremely smart people were suddenly caught in a difficult situation.
Shen Lian picked up the teacup, looked at the rustling leaves above his head, and said, "We are a little passive!"
Tianji also nodded: "Beichen's caution and cunning, coupled with his good puppet control method, make him really hard to guard against."
"What I suspect now is that maybe no one in this world has seen Beichen's true appearance. Maybe all of us have seen Beichen's puppet."
"The real Beichen cannot be said to be happy and free anywhere."
Shen Lian tapped his tea cup gently with his fingers and said: "Now we can be sure of one thing, that is, if Beichen wants to control the puppet, it must be within a radius of ten kilometers."
"wrong."
Shen Lian suddenly shook his head and said: "I have met Xin Yin Yuan before, and Xin Yin Yuan has become Beichen's puppet. Beichen was not in Cuihua Mountain at that time. I can be sure of this."
"In other words, Beichen now has a new method of controlling puppets."
"Distance restrictions may be useless."
Tianji frowned and said, "When did it happen?"
Shen Lian then told Tianji what he encountered in Cuihua Mountain.
After hearing this, Tianji thought for a while and said: "You said that Xinyin Yuan still has some consciousness of his own... This was completely absent in Beichen's previous puppets. Beichen's previous puppets could only be controlled by Beichen himself. If Beichen's attention was diverted, so the puppet really didn't take any action."
"So, this is indeed Beichen's new puppet control method, but..."
Tianji said: "I feel that this new method cannot be used by all puppets. At least so far, I have only heard of Xinyin Yuan."
"Perhaps, using this brand-new method of controlling puppets, the requirements will be very strict, and ordinary people cannot achieve it at all. Therefore, you can be prepared, but don't worry too much."
Shen Lian nodded: "Then, if you meet Beichen in the future, you can first determine whether Beichen is using a new puppet or an old puppet."
"If it's the old puppet, then Beichen is within a radius of ten kilometers."
"And if it's a new puppet... Actually, you don't have to worry about what Beichen will find, because I have tested it. When the distance is too far, although Beichen can remotely control it, Beichen doesn't know what happened to this puppet. As long as we can solve this puppet , Beichen is just a blind man."
Tianji's eyes lit up: "So, in other words, although his new puppet is far away, the problem is also very obvious?"
