On the same day, in a secret room in Chang'an City, Liquanfang, and the Persian Temple, the great elder of the Persian government-in-exile in Chang'an, Saruman, with two junior elders, was sitting opposite several snake-tooth leaders in Chang'an, looking at each other for a long time.

Grand Elder Saruman was already a very old man, with gray hair and beard, his face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were cloudy, half-open and half-closed, and he couldn't see what was going on in his heart at all.

The two elders next to him, who looked to be forty or fifty years old, looked at the four people opposite with burning eyes, and their faces seemed to be smiling, which was intriguing.

Among the four snake-toothed people who looked at them, one of the chestnut-haired Sogdians was An Lushan's godson, Kang Heinu, the head of Chang'an Snaketooth, a red-haired Sogdian beside him, and two black-haired Khitan and Xi people were the three who had a drinking meeting in Huayue Building in Xishi that day.

After a long time, Kang Heinu asked, "Elder Saruman invited us here today, why didn't you say a word?" ”

Saruman still had his eyes half-closed, his eyelids not raised, and he said quietly: "Is it because you are not sincere, this Sun Sancao comes to the Persian temple every day to worship and pray, thinking that I don't know your thoughts?" I asked him to call your princes, and he didn't do it, what can I say? ”

Kang Heinu smiled and asked, "How do you know that I am not their leader?" ”

Saruman's eyes widened a small slit, and he looked at Kang Heinu with a very pitying and contemptuous look, as if to say that of course you are not, do you think you are worthy?

Kang Heinu was disillusioned by him and changed the topic: "Then tell me what we are thinking?" ”

Saruman's eyes were half-closed again, and he didn't speak, and the little elder with golden hair next to him smiled: "What else could it be?" Isn't it just for the treasure of our temple, the Holy Flame Flame Stand. ”

Zoroastrianism, also known as Zoroastrianism, worships fire the most, the Zoroastrian holy relic holy flame platform, is the beginning of the establishment of Sassanid Persia, invited hundreds of skilled craftsmen, took a year, with a meteorite to build. Not only is it extremely hard, but no matter how the flame burns, the flame platform will not be red or hot, and it is a unique holy relic among all Zoroastrians.

Kang Heinu laughed, "Then I don't know what Elder Saruman means?" Give us the flame of the Holy Flame, and we can pay whatever price you want. ”

Most of the Hu people in Hebei believed in Zoroastrianism, and his father-in-law, An Lushan, claimed to be the embodiment of the God of Light, and often personally presided over Zoroastrian sacrifices in the Sogdian settlements, and hundreds of thousands of followers followed him in Hebei.

But the fly in the ointment is that An Lushan is a poor child who lost his father at an early age (and later became a part-time sheep thief in the market), although he claims to be the incarnation of the god of light, but his Zoroastrian inheritance has natural flaws, and many Zoroastrian priests do not agree with him very much.

If there is this Zoroastrian holy relic, which has been passed down for more than 500 years and is known to everyone among Zoroastrians, coupled with the support of Zoroastrian orthodoxy, I am afraid that those who do not agree with the righteous father can also be convinced.

Therefore, in addition to spying on intelligence, bribing and training outlaws, etc., these Chang'an snake teeth also have a special task assigned by An Lushan, which is to contact the Zoroastrian elders of the Persian Hu Temple in Liquanfang and try to get their support.

An Lushan also confessed that if the former is unsuccessful, he can retreat to the second, and if necessary, he can steal or rob the flame platform.

The golden-haired elder sneered, "I'd love to know what price you can pay for what we want?" ”

Kang Heinu looked at the other three regional leaders for a few moments, and said in a deep voice: "Whatever you want, as long as we can do it, we will do it." ”

"Is that true?" It was the Great Elder Saruman who spoke, he suddenly opened his eyes, his originally cloudy eyes were shining brightly at the moment, and the other two Little Elders also showed very excited and impatient expressions on their faces.

"Seriously." Kang Heinu was stabbed by Saruman's eyes, a little puzzled, and thought to himself, what the hell do they want, what can we make them so eager, so excited?

Saruman stood up and said with a smile: "We want the head of An Lushan!" ”

Kang Heinu and the other snake tooth leaders were stunned for a moment, and the next moment, they saw that the three elders suddenly had a few long black objects in their hands, and rushed towards them like three leopards.

The four of them subconsciously wanted to draw their swords to fight, but suddenly remembered that the horizontal swords were placed outside when they came in. There was a dagger stuck upside down in his boot, but it seemed that it was too late......

When the elders of the Persian Hu Temple unexpectedly suddenly turned their faces and took people, on the Danfeng Tower at the main gate of Daming Palace, the actions of Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty, were also beyond everyone's expectations.

"Anxi Jiedu envoy Gao Xianzhi, hard work, pure character, was named the protector of Anxi, and also led the Beiting Jiedu envoy, Longyou interview envoy, Yushi doctor, hope Gao Qing guard against arrogance and rashness, dedication to the king's affairs, do not bow down; Longyou Jiedu made Ge Shuhan, loyal and brave, entered the title of An Guogong, added the hussar general, sealed five hundred households, the imperial history of the Cheng, the opening of the palace with the three divisions. ”

The ministers and envoys of various countries were stunned, what is the situation, how did they read a letter of Gao Xianzhi's secret fold, and they added officials to Gao Xianzhi again, not only gave him the Beiting Festival, but also gave him the Anxi Metropolitan Protector, who has always been the prince or the minister of the court, and also gave him the important personnel supervision right of Longyou's interview.

Many officials involuntarily looked at Li Linfu, the prime minister of the current dynasty, for no other reason, because before this, the protector of the Anxi capital was led by Li Linfu.

Li Linfu was also shocked, Your Majesty, what's wrong? Why didn't you even say hello, and gave my position to Gao Xianzhi, and you couldn't have been more kind to him?

Although this position is of no use to oneself, it is an attitude, indicating that the imperial court is a constraint on the envoys of the border towns.

Now most of the capital guards and the Beiting Festival envoys, plus the Longyou interview envoys, all of them are given to Gao Xianzhi, that is to say, the entire west of Mohe Yanmo, it is Gao Xianzhi who has the final say! It's the same as An Lushan in the Northeast!

More officials and envoys looked at Gao Xianzhi in unison, but they didn't expect Gao Xianzhi to be stunned, the reason why he was stunned was not that His Majesty the Emperor rewarded him and Ge Shuhan, but why did Xiao Quai, the only reason for the reward was missing?

Doesn't His Majesty the Emperor know that the death of Tubo Zampu is the greatest credit for his brother-in-law Xiao Qu? Moreover, most of the plans to deal with Tubo in the secret compromise came from Xiao Quai's hands, why did even Ge Shuhan be rewarded, but he deliberately omitted Xiao Quai's illness? What else do you say about the king's deeds, don't bow down?

Don't...... Could it be that His Majesty is on guard against Xiao Qu's illness? If so, what should I do?

Also shocked was An Lushan, a big fat man, who had a sense of superiority over Gao Xianzhi before, but now he is gone, but he is also an extremely sensitive person, and he immediately saw some ways from Li Longji's words, and he was puzzled and happy in his heart.
