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.
