"Then, Li Wencheng, who is supposed to be here, could it be... could it be..."
He said in disbelief: "Could it be that the Li Wencheng in the first group of people who was obviously called Hu Lishan is real and not... not the fake Li Wencheng I found for you?"
Old Man Zhang was trembling all over. He felt that he had guessed the truth of the matter.
And this truth made him unable to believe it no matter what.
The corners of Sishe's mouth raised slightly, looking at Old Man Zhang's extremely shocked look, he said with a smile: "Not bad, a bit smart."
"Really...really like that?"
Old Man Zhang felt as if his head was being hit with a heavy hammer. He really couldn't believe this fact. He and everyone... were actually deceived!
Could it be that at that time... Shen Lian, did Shen Lian already doubt himself?
So, I don’t know Shen Lian’s true method?
At this time, a sound of footsteps suddenly approached them.
They subconsciously looked up and saw Shen Lian, dressed in a mysterious robe, walking slowly towards them.
After experiencing so many things that night, there was not a single drop of dust or a drop of blood on Shen Lian's body. His entire body was as dusty as an immortal in the sky, making people dare not look directly at him.
When Shen Lian arrived, the fog began to lift.
It is self-evident who wins the final battle between Shen Lian and the mysterious Yin Yang family.
Old Man Zhang saw Shen Lian coming. Even though Shen Lian still had a smile on his face, his body and mind were extremely cold. His hands and feet felt cold all over his body, and his face was covered in cold sweat.
Originally, he thought that Beichen's plan was perfect. There was Xiong Chenglin who was trying to confuse Shen Lian, and people from the Yin and Yang family were secretly deceiving Shen Lian. He was hiding behind them. No matter how smart Shen Lian was, he would definitely not find out so quickly. own intentions.
But now... when he knew that Li Wencheng was disguised by Lu Shisan, and the real Li Wencheng slipped away under his nose, he felt deeply... what is a devil, and really knows... why Shen Lian is called for the devil.
Shen Lian is simply not a human being!
Facing him is as helpless and hopeless as facing the devil.
Shen Lian stopped in front of Old Man Zhang and looked at Old Man Zhang who was covered in cold sweat and pale face. He sighed and said lightly: "Old Man Zhang, you and I, Shen, have known each other for a long time, and you also understand me. Many deeds.”
"So...why do you still have the luck to think that you can deceive me?"
Old man Zhang's heart trembled as he listened to Shen Lian's plain words.
"Do you think that with my ability as Shen, I really don't know that there are people behind you who are supporting you and supporting you in ruling the underground world?"
"Do you think that with my ability, I really can't find out who is behind you?"
Old Man Zhang seemed to have lost all consciousness. He only felt it was difficult to breathe, and his whole body was as frightened as if he had fallen into hell.
Shen Lian's words, every word Shen Lian said, seemed to push him towards that hell.
"You dared to dream and try to deceive me even though you knew my abilities... So, do you think I'm stupid, or do you think the master behind you is smarter than me?"
"You know clearly that I am the one leading this plan, but you still dare to use it to plot against me..."
Shen Lian smiled meaningfully: "You are really brave!"
Old man Zhang suddenly exhaled heavily, and cold sweat broke out all over his body. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he looked into Shen Lian's calm but seemingly able to see through everything, his heart tightened. , I dare not say anything anymore...
At this time, suddenly a gust of wind blew.
Suddenly the fog dispersed.
The originally thick fog completely disappeared.
The corpses around him, as well as the corpse lying on the ground in the distance with a long knife pierced through the back, also appeared in everyone's sight.
brush!
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of Shen Lian.
He paid homage to Qin Zu and said, "Master, I have made two discoveries!"
Shen Lian waved his hand and asked Si She to take Old Man Zhang and others away and hand them over to Xu Gou and others. Then he looked at Zhang He and asked, "What did you find?"
Zhang He said: "My subordinates secretly observed the whole process, and found some places that were most suitable for observing this place from a distance. They also followed several spies who were monitoring this place midway, and finally discovered two unidentified people!"
"One of them is on the roof of the restaurant, drinking wine and looking at this place. The man is not weak, and his subordinates dare not get too close to avoid being discovered!"
"Just now, a spy suddenly found him and said something to him. He quickly left and headed to the east of the city, and there..."
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and continued: "That's where the twenty baits sent to lure the tigers away from the mountain are hiding."
Zhang He nodded quickly.
Shen Lian thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "It seems that I still underestimated Beidou Club's determination to kill Li Wencheng. They sent more than just these few people tonight!"
"But it doesn't matter. I have already prepared. There is an ambush over there. If he really goes there, he won't get any good results."
After all, this is all a trap set up by Shen Lian. With Shen Lian's ability, he will naturally take care of everything.
There will be no weak points anywhere.
"Where is the other one?" Shen Lian asked.
Zhang He said: "There is another one. It is in a Taoist temple not far from here. There was a man wearing a Taoist robe standing on the top of the building and looking here. The people of the Yin and Yang family that the adults dealt with came from there. Come."
"My subordinate was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't get too close and didn't see the man's face clearly."
Shen Lian's eyes suddenly flashed.
The corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Zhang He, you did a great job. Although you did not directly participate in the battle tonight, you made the greatest contribution!"
"Judging from the manpower distribution of the Beidou Club, Li Wencheng is... really important to them, and Li Wencheng is directly responsible for Beichen, so... as for Beichen, I previously judged that there is a high possibility that Beichen will come in person."
"And now, I, Shen, can be sure that he is really here!"
Zhang He's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "The young master means...that Taoist priest..."
Shen Lian nodded: "Yes, if nothing else, that's Beichen."
He looked directly at Zhang He and said: "Lead the way immediately. That Beichen will definitely not be able to escape Chang'an. He may still be there!"
"Maybe tonight, we can catch his biggest fish!"
"yes!"
Zhang He took Shen Lian away without any hesitation.
As for Shen Lian, he also told Si She to gather the best men and follow him immediately as he walked.
If I could really meet Beichen...
Then tonight, I am really worthy of all the hard work and arrangements I have put in!
When Shen Lian followed Zhang He on the way to the Taoist temple, they were in the east of Chang'an City.
Within a chamber of commerce.
The sudden battle happened suddenly under the silent night.
This chamber of commerce was established by merchants in the silk and tea business in the Jiangnan region. Its main responsibility was to contact goods and transactions in the Jiangnan and Chang'an regions.
On the third day of every month, some goods will be shipped from Chang'an to Jiangnan.
And tomorrow is the 3rd.
Therefore, although the purpose of Shen Lian's first group of people to lure the tiger away from the mountain was crude, they still looked for some reliable methods to prevent others from seeing problems at a glance.
Therefore, the first group of people sent by Shen Lian are hiding here, preparing to leave with the caravan early tomorrow morning.
Originally, no one paid attention to this place.
Neither Xiong Chenglin nor the deeply hidden old man Zhang considered this place.
One is arrogant and thinks he has seen through Shen Lian's little tricks, and the other is seeing Shen Lian's arrangements with his own eyes. They all know that Li Wencheng is not among the first group of people, so no one really pays attention to them or really follows them. Come here.
At this time, Zhang Mooke, after his defeat at Old Man Zhang, a battle broke out here at an extremely fast speed.
Many people wearing black clothes with a "crescent moon" pattern, led by a drunk man, rushed directly into the chamber of commerce.
There is no pretense, just like this, just come and kill directly!
After they entered the chamber of commerce, they encountered various ambushes. Only then did they know... there was an ambush here.
This is a trap!
However, when the 13 drunken men in the lead saw this scene, not only were they not angry at all, but the corners of their mouths turned up.
"That's right if there's an ambush and protection! Li Wencheng is definitely here!"
"Even if we are the last person left, we will kill Li Wencheng!"
The killer who was about to retreat heard this man's words, his eyes turned red, and he went straight in as if he was crazy.
The sounds of fighting and screams kept ringing out.
Not far away, in a second-story attic of the Chamber of Commerce.
Di Renjie stood here calmly, watching the battle on the opposite side.
After a moment, he said slowly: "Act according to the master's plan. When they come, don't let them leave."
"yes!"
Someone answered quickly, and then the thumping footsteps suddenly faded away.
Di Renjie looked at the fighting battlefield below, recalling Shen Lian's arrangements, and couldn't help but show admiration on his face.
"My mentor, you really know everything like a god, and you have calculated every step of everyone to the extreme. I am still far away..."
…………
"Master, this is the Taoist temple in front of you!"
Zhang He suddenly stopped, raised his finger and pointed at the Taoist temple in front of him and said.?
Shen Lian quickly looked forward and saw a small Taoist temple under the crescent moon.
This Taoist temple was built in the city of Chang'an, where land was scarce, which meant that its scale could never be large.
It's not even comparable to the mansions of some princes, generals, or wealthy families.
But being able to establish a Taoist temple in Chang'an City also shows that his status is special.
Under the crescent moon is the lintel of the Taoist temple. On the lintel are three simple characters - Haoyue Temple!
In front of the Bright Moon Temple, there is a big locust tree.
The branches of the locust tree swayed continuously with the wind, making a rustling sound, which was so obvious in this silent night.
The moonlight penetrated the leaves and fell under the locust tree.
Under the locust tree, there was a person sitting upright.
This man was wearing a Taoist robe, he was quite old, and his beard was gray.
There was a chessboard in front of him, and a gust of wind blew his breath and gray hair slowly, making him look like a fairy.
Shen Lian raised his eyes slightly.
Zhang He seemed to have just discovered the Taoist priest, and he hurriedly said: "Young Master, that's him... He was the one who was peeking at the street where the Young Master was just now, and he was the one who met the Yin Yang family member when he left."
Sishe suddenly became nervous when she heard Zhang He's words.
He instantly pulled out his horizontal sword and stood ready. The other guards, Xu Gou and others also took out their weapons and pointed them at the Taoist priest. Everyone's face was full of solemnity and caution.
No one looked down upon the Taoist priest in front of him.
Because they have already learned from Shen Lian that the person in front of them is most likely Beichen, the boss of the Beidou Society, and the mastermind behind all the animations in Chang'an City in recent times!
"How wonderful it is to have friends from far away!"
At this time, the Taoist opposite suddenly spoke, his voice booming, resounding in everyone's ears.
"Sir Sir Shen, Pindao has a game of chess. Sir Shen, can you play with Pindao?"
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes.
Sishe hurriedly said: "Young master, I think there is a ghost, so be careful of deceit!"
The corner of Shen Lian's mouth suddenly curled up. He raised his hand and said, "Don't be nervous. If he wanted to escape, he would have escaped long ago. He wouldn't have set up a chessboard here to wait for me, Shen."
"Just wait here and be careful."
Sishe and others were still a little worried after hearing this.
At this time, the Taoist's voice came again: "Master Shen is right. If Pindao wanted to leave, Pindao would have already left when Zhang He, the heir of the bandit family, discovered Pindao, and he would not have waited until now. "
Zhang He was surprised when he heard this: "You...you discovered me? And you also know who I am?"
Shen Lian also looked at the Taoist.
The Taoist stroked his beard and said calmly: "Pindao, like Lord Shen, is a very cautious person, but Chang'an is in danger everywhere, and Lord Shen is spying on him, so how could Pindao not be prepared?"
"So when you arrived here, Pindao already knew you! As for who you are... Sir Shen should believe that with Pindao's ability, there is no reason why he can't recognize you."
Zhang He looked at Shen Lian fiercely.
His expression was startled and uncertain.
This is the second time besides Shen Lian that he has been discovered.
Shen Lian was not surprised at all. If Beichen didn't even have this ability, then Beichen would have been caught long ago. Why would he wait until now?
He said calmly: "This is his home court. It's normal for you to be discovered. If it were elsewhere, he might not discover you, so don't doubt yourself, you are still great."
Zhang He breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Shen Lian's words.
At the same time, he looked at the Taoist angrily: "Little old man, you are uneasy and kind-hearted. This is not the young master. I have inner demons. I almost don't trust myself!"
When the Taoist heard this, he was not ashamed. He just smiled and said calmly: "If you don't even trust yourself, then who can you blame if you have inner demons?"
When the Taoist heard this, he was not ashamed. He just smiled and said calmly: "If you don't even trust yourself, then who can you blame if you have inner demons?"
