brush!brush!
At this time, two figures quickly rushed in front of Shen Lian.
They all wore the uniform black uniforms of the Dali Temple Intelligence Department and bowed to Shen Lian in unison: "Sir."
Shen Lian nodded and asked them directly: "Are you sure the person is here?"
The three Jinyiwei all nodded quickly.
"Is there anyone coming in and out?" Shen Lian asked again.
Two people shook their heads, and one said, "We monitored the front and back doors. After one brother left, no one came in or out until the adults arrived."
A Jinyiwei also looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir, the people who secretly monitor the palace are the ones who pass on information to this mansion. According to your instructions, we did not alert anyone. After discovering this mansion, we immediately asked Ali to go back and inform you that they must be here."
Shen Lian believed that if Beichen wanted to deal with him and the Prince Chu's Mansion, he would definitely not do it himself so as not to be discovered by him.
But we will certainly monitor everything and make sure we are aware of all developments so we can respond in a timely manner.
Therefore, before going to the palace, he instructed Ali to secretly look for surveillance spies around the palace, and then follow the clues, maybe he could find Beichen's hiding place.
As a result, he was not disappointed.
Ali and his friends actually found it.
but…….
Shen Lian narrowed his eyes, suddenly waved his hand, and said, "Get in!"
Ali was stunned and couldn't help but say, "Just charge in? So brutal?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "Ali, you want to treat Beichen as another Young Master Qin, so do you think that if you bring so many people to capture Young Master Qin, he will really not notice anything and will stay here to be captured by you?"
Ali was startled and asked quickly, "What do you mean, sir?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "Go in and take a look, and you will know."
"Go ahead. If he is really hiding here, he will escape if he is late!"
Upon hearing this, Ali did not hesitate at all. He kicked the door open and led his men to rush in.
Shen Lian stood quietly outside the door and did not enter. A Bao wanted to protect Shen Lian, so he did not enter either.
The three of them waited quietly, and soon someone ran out.
Ali looked unhappy. He said to Shen Lian, "Sir... no one... no one."
"Someone escaped?" Abao was shocked and asked hurriedly.
Ali shook his head: "I don't know, but we searched every room, the cellar and the well, and there was no one there."
"Is there any authenticity in that?" A Bao asked.
Ali frowned, looking unhappy, and said, "We are investigating..."
"No need to check!"
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Shen Lian.
The three of them hurriedly looked at Shen Lian.
Then Shen Lian's face looked normal, as if he was not disappointed or surprised by the news at all.
"What does your Excellency mean?" Ali asked puzzled.
Shen Lian said calmly: "Actually, I felt something was wrong from the beginning."
Ah Bao subconsciously asked: "What's the problem?"
"It went so well."
"Is it going too smoothly?" they both asked.
Shen Lian nodded slightly: "Beichen suffered a loss at my hands once. He is the kind of person who will never suffer a loss a second time."
"So last time, I asked our brothers to track the spy and find his puppet, causing him to lose the entire line of Wang Wenru."
"Of course... Beichen said he was willing to accept the loss, which was what he promised me before, but in my opinion, he simply knew that I had discovered the Taoist Wuyazi, and the clue to Wang Wenru could not be kept at all, so he pretended to be honest and gave me clues."
"So, this is definitely not what he wants. After all, Wang Wenru has been hiding it for so many years. Now that it's gone, the loss to him is definitely not small!"
"He suffered such a big loss, so how could he suffer a second loss? In fact, I had other deeper plans for tracking the spies besides you guys, but they didn't have a chance to use them, and you found them so easily..."
"certainly….…"
Shen Lian said, "I'm not saying you're incapable, but you're really a little behind Beichen. You were originally just a fog bomb I gave Beichen, but you found him directly... This is unreasonable in itself."
Only then did Ali realize.
He looked at Shen Lian and said, "So, sir, I was actually deceived?"
Shen Lian nodded, but soon shook his head again...
"Yes and no!"
"Indeed, you were deceived. You said they were hiding in this mansion, but you didn't find them..."
Shen Lian walked to the door, raised his hand, and rubbed it lightly. His fingers were covered with dust.
He said, "You can take a closer look. Apart from the marks left by Ali's kick just now, the door is completely covered with dust. What does this mean?"
Ali thought for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes and said, "This means that this door has not been opened for a long time. This mansion is abandoned!"
Shen Lian finally smiled and nodded, "That's right! This door hasn't been opened for a long time, so how could it have been pushed open and entered not long ago?"
Ali was completely stunned: "Impossible, impossible, I clearly saw them enter this mansion with my own eyes, and they opened the door!"
"Sir, I have seen it too!" Another Jinyiwei responded.
He couldn't understand it at all.
Abao also felt a little dizzy.
Shen Lian glanced at Ali, who had an ugly expression on his face, and said calmly, "Ali, you and Abao will be in charge of the Intelligence Department of the Dali Temple in the future. To control intelligence, you must have the ability to judge whether some intelligence is true or false!"
“Remember…”
Shen Lian's voice became serious.
Ali was shocked and quickly stood up to look at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian said calmly: "What you hear is never as good as what you see with your own eyes, and what you see with your own eyes is never as good as what you experience in person... and what you experience in person is often false."
"Just as you said, you saw them enter this mansion with your own eyes. But in fact, I knew this door and had never seen it before. Why did I let you in? I wanted you to experience it for yourself... Sometimes, your eyes can deceive you as their master."
"They didn't even enter this mansion!!"
Ali's eyes widened, and he felt that Shen Lian's words were like Sanskrit sounds, washing his mind and heart.
He swallowed, and suddenly broke out in sweat. He said, "Then, why, why did it happen like this? Where did they go?" Shen Lian looked at Ali calmly, his pair of black eyes showing a convincing calmness.
He said, "Forget what I just said? It's better to experience it yourself than to see it with your own eyes. You have been following me for quite some time. Use your brain. Since I followed you here, I must have my reasons."
"So, think carefully about what to do next."
At this moment, Shen Lian was stern like a teacher: "I am not your babysitter. I will not be on call to help you 24 hours a day, so...think about it yourself and find it yourself. I will be here, waiting for your result!"
Ali's forehead was soaked with sweat, his mind was in a mess, but Shen Lian's words made him grit his teeth and turn his head to think.
After all, he did not ask Shen Lian everything as usual.
Ah Bao looked at Si She's pale face and couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you being too harsh on Ali?"
"Harsh?"
Shen Lian said calmly: "It seems that because you follow me, everything goes smoothly, which makes you think that our opponents are too gentle and they are not dangerous."
"But have you forgotten that any one of these people would kill without blinking an eye?"
"For example, tonight, what if they didn't enter this mansion, but instead set up an ambush in this mansion, buried countless explosives, and just waited for you to enter?"
"Until then..."
Shen Lian looked at Ah Bao and said expressionlessly: "All of you will be shattered to pieces. Many of us in Wangyun Inn died at Beichen's hands, and this... As long as you follow me, as long as you have perseverance in your hearts, you will always encounter this kind of danger. You got away with it this time, but what about next time?"
Abao's expression also changed.
He subconsciously clenched his fists.
Shen Lian said indifferently: "So, with myself being crushed to pieces, and because of myself making my comrades-in-arms die, am I, Shen Lian... harsh?"
After hearing Shen Lian's words, Abao fell silent.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered...how insidious and vicious their enemy was.
They also remembered that the reason why they thought the enemy was easy to deal with was not because of their ability, nor was it because the enemy was weak.
It’s because the person they are following is their own adult.
Our master always makes everything seem easy. No matter how dangerous the situation or how powerful the enemy is, they all seem weak in front of him.
But this... is entirely due to the adults' own strength.
It has nothing to do with them!
What if they face those enemies alone?
Abao couldn't help but feel palpitations when he thought of those guys' sinister and cunning plots and the ambushes that followed one after another.
He knew that if he faced those enemies, he might die without knowing how.
It is even possible that because of one's own mistakes or weakness, one may cause harm to others...
Thinking of this, Abao's heart couldn't help but tighten. He subconsciously clenched his hands into fists and his face turned slightly pale.
At the same time, he also completely understood why his master was so strict with Ali.
I am still following the adults, and my future development lies on the battlefield, so what I need most is my own strength and progress in military strategy and tactics.
But Ali is different.
Ali is proficient in disguise, which is of great importance. Now he has become the head of the Dali Temple's Intelligence Department and can handle things on his own.
The Intelligence Department is not only in charge of the Dali Temple, but also includes people sent by His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. It has great power and can supervise officials. It is a very unique existence in the entire court.
Countless officials are very afraid of him, so I don’t know how many people are staring at Ali and want to deal with him...
Therefore, Ali must grow up, otherwise, sooner or later something will happen to Ali.
Just as his master said, it was impossible for him to be on call to help Ali all day long. On the surface, he was Ali's superior, not Ali's worm. Ali had to rely on himself.
Thinking of this, Abao said nothing more.
He knew that this was the good intention of his master, and Ali knew the same.
He just hoped that Ali would not disappoint the adults. After all, his own adults could say this to Ali, which meant that they had confidence in Ali. Otherwise, it would be like Changsun Shunde before… Did the adults ever even look at him? Not to mention saying these harsh words.
Ah Bao took a deep breath and said, "Master, Ali... can he... do it?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Lian just said calmly: "This is not a difficult problem, it's just some tricks to deceive people's vision. Ali and I have experienced it before."
"So, if Ali reflects and thinks about everything he has experienced with me, and reviews every case, then it will definitely not be difficult for him."
"But if he stops moving forward and doesn't make any progress..."
Shen Lian's tone was still very calm, even a little frightening: "That only means that he is temporarily unable to bear the burden of the Intelligence Department. I will also report this to His Majesty and replace him with a capable person. This will be a good thing for him, the Intelligence Department, and His Majesty's appreciation."
"Otherwise, you are unworthy of your position and it will only lead to disaster."
When Abao heard Shen Lian's words, his heart skipped a beat.
I suddenly felt nervous and worried.
He could tell that the adults were not joking.
The adults always remain absolutely rational at all times. If Ali's performance this time really disappoints the adults, then the adults will really replace Ali.
It's not that you are unreasonable, but this is the best choice for Ali and the Intelligence Department.
There are too many lessons in history about people not being qualified for their positions.
Abao took a deep breath. He now only prayed that his good brother Ali would not let him down. He could feel the hope that his parents had placed on Ali, so he must not let them down!
After all, sir, he helped us eliminate many of Beidou Society’s enemies!
…………
At this time, Ali closed his eyes for a while and calmed his restless heart.
What Abao could think of, he could naturally think of.
He also knew that this was a test given to him by his parents.
He took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and suddenly opened his eyes.
Then, he said, "Someone come!"
"grown ups."
Soon, someone from the Intelligence Department came to pay him a respect.
After thinking about what Shen Lian had done in a similar situation before, Ali said, "Immediately block the entrances and exits of the alley. Block all the entrances and exits in the alley and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving!"
"At the same time, guard the front and back doors of all the mansions in this alley, and prohibit anyone from entering or leaving." (End of this chapter)
At this time, two figures quickly rushed in front of Shen Lian.
They all wore the uniform black uniforms of the Dali Temple Intelligence Department and bowed to Shen Lian in unison: "Sir."
