"You...... How do you know who I am? The Persian merchant jumped up as if he had seen a ghost.

Ma Ling said coldly: "If Uncle Abdullah really wants to do business in Anxi, then he must be honest. This is my Tang Ansi, not a big food, let alone his territory Syria! You guys are crazy to want to cut off the supply of iron weapons to my Anxi army! I don't care what you think, take out the contract, I can spare your life and let you go back to your master. ”

"I just want to know, how did you know my identity? It's simply impossible! The Persian merchant slowly sat back in his chair and watched as Ma Xuan said with difficulty.

Ma Lan pointed to the corpse on the ground: "They are not guards, they are the most elite soldiers." General Ben has fought a hundred battles on the battlefield, can't he see this difference? ”

The Persian merchant said, "Even if you see that they are soldiers, how can you be sure of the identity of my master?" There are so many heroes and heroes in the whole big food that are guarded by soldiers, why do you think that I am the master! ”

Ma Lan laughed, pointed to the emblem on the Persian merchant's chest, and said, "Because I know this." This is a special emblem of the forces loyal to Abdullah, the black-clad general. Abbas may not have known the emblem, but one family knew it well. ”

The Persian merchant shuddered and hissed, "This is impossible! It's simply not possible! This emblem was just confirmed by the master when I left, how could you, a Tang man, know! ”

Ma Lan smiled faintly.

How will you know? Shall I tell you this little thing that I have come from a thousand years from now?

"Your master is a black-clothed general, and his bloodline is no less noble than Abu. Abbas, second only to the dead Persian Possilin in battle. It is natural to have high merit and different ambitions. It is also human nature to secretly cultivate forces, one is to protect oneself, and the other is to prepare for the seizure of power. General Ben guards Anxi, and Dashi is only separated by a green mountain, if this is not clear at all, how can I be the lord of Anxi! ”

Seeing that the Persian merchant's face was even paler, Ma Lan smiled and continued: "You should have heard the last words of Persian Nupo Sirin, he said it very well, Abbas is just a man who made things happen, and his brother is just a despicable hyena, where can he be considered a hero!" Po Silin has the greatest military exploits, but unfortunately his blood is lowly and he deserves to die early. Looking at the entire Great Eclipse, the only person with great military achievements and noble blood is the emperor's uncle Abdullah. Among the famous generals, you are the only one who is the master of your family, and in my eyes he can be regarded as a hero. The one who is most qualified to ascend to the position of caliph in the whole Great Eclipse is the master of your house. ”

The Persian merchant turned pale and said loudly: "My master is loyal to the caliph and will not betray him. ”

Ma Lan looked directly at the Persian merchant and smiled coldly.

"If he had been loyal to the Caliph, he would have ended up with the same fate as the Posnu! Your master is not an idiot, but don't take everyone else for an idiot. If he didn't have a different heart, he would honestly be his governor of Syria, why did he send you over the green mountains and set foot on the land of my Tang Dynasty? You are not merchants, but meticulous workers! ”

The Persian merchant clenched his fists and stared at Ma Lu, his face unusually pale.

"I don't need you to say it, but I'll tell you why Abdullah sent you to my Ansi."

Abbas's last words ignited a fire under Abbas's throne, and in order to keep his position, Abbas could only forbid the Persians to cross the Wuhu water and forbid the Persians to fight the Sogdians in the river. Your master was not mentioned in Posilin's last words, so your master has no taboos and wants to increase his prestige in the Great Food Nation by seizing the land in the river! You also know that the Sogdian king was unscrupulous in the river with the support of the Tang Dynasty, and the key to the success of your master is not to see how the Sogdians are, but to see how I am in the Tang Dynasty, so Abdullah sent you to my Anxi to inquire about the news! ”

"He actually bought all the iron ore in Qiuzi as soon as he came, it seems that Abdullah's capital is not small, but it's a pity that he miscalculated and sent you as a fool. Do you think that with the wealth that Abdullah gave you, you can monopolize the Anxi Iron Company and restrain my Anxi army? I'll tell you, the Anxi army only talks about the rules with those who talk about the rules, and for those who don't, we talk with knives! ”

"Abdullah wants to take the river? Save it! The river is already the meat of my Anxi army, and no one wants to take it away. Go back and tell your master that he can dispel this thought as soon as possible. ”

Seeing that the Persian merchant's face was getting whiter and paler, Ma Lan smiled, paused slightly, and continued: "Don't think about it from your master in the middle of the river, as for being a caliph, it's not impossible. To be a caliph, it is not necessary to take the land in the river. I can help him with this. ”

The Persian merchant sat there in a daze, and every word of Ma Lu was like thunder to him. He didn't expect that the most secret things of his master would be revealed little by little by this Tang general.

It wasn't possible, but it was happening right before his eyes.

After a long silence, the Persian merchant took a breath and said with difficulty: "Your Excellency the Governor of the Tang Dynasty, how can you help my master?" ”

Ma Lan smiled and said: "I have a strange art in the Tang Dynasty, and I can watch the fate of people." Abbas is a man of cannibalism, and it is not for your master to compete with him, but only to endure it for a while. But I see that Abbas is a short-lived man who will die in three years! After Abbas's death, he will be his brother, and if you endure until then, your master's chance will come. At that time, if your master has a big heart, my Datang military horse can help in this matter, and you will be able to succeed if you have a left and right attack with your master! ”

The Persian merchant looked at the severed limbs and corpses all over the ground, his eyes flickering. Gao Qianqian didn't know what the two of them were talking about, and her eyes were full of curiosity.

"Your Excellency the Governor of the Tang Dynasty, do you mean that in three years, the army of the Great Tang Dynasty has occupied the land in the river?" The Persian merchant thought for a long time and said in a low voice.

"Abdullah wants to take the land of the river, not for this place, but for the throne of the caliph. But I am bound to get the land in the river, so don't think about it, your master. Within three years, I, Datang, will definitely open a military town in the river. At that time, my Tang Dynasty military horse can become a great help to your master. If he is obsessed with it, he will rob me of this land in the river, hum! Your master's plot to rebel will be known to the Abbas brothers at once. ”

"Datang sent troops to help my master, it must cost us, what is this price?" The Persian merchant asked.

"First, after your master became a caliph, the Tang Dynasty and the Great Food were bounded by the Wuhu Water, and they were about brothers with each other, and they could never violate each other. Second, I, Datang and you, will share the land after the fact! Ma Lan replied in a deep voice.

"The stakes are so high that I can't make the decision, so I have to ask my master what he means."

"You can't do such a thing, go back and tell Abdullah. You tell him and. Posilin died at my hands, and if he tried to take my land in the river, he would end up with a second one. Posilin. If you want to cooperate, you can go there to find me after the establishment of the military town in the Tang River. I have already made my Datang's purpose very clear, so that he doesn't have to send someone to investigate. ”

The Persian merchant was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Now, hand over the contract you have in your hand. Your men are dead, and it's useless for you to keep them. And the wealth you have brought with you will also be left behind. Since Abdullah dares to come and spy on my Datang, how can he do it without paying a price. Also, in order for you to remember my words, you have to pay a small price. ”

As he spoke, Ma Lu went up, and the sword flashed in his hand, and the Persian merchant only felt a chill at the root of his ears, and when he reached out and touched his hands full of blood, he saw that two ears had fallen into the dust on the ground.

The Persian merchant stared at Ma Lu, his eyes full of resentment, but he did not shout, and took out a stack of contracts from his bosom and placed them on the table.

Gao Qianqian walked over and picked it up, looked at them one by one, made sure that it was exactly what she wanted, and nodded slightly.

"You can go. With your ability, if you can make it here alive, you should be able to go back alive. Tell Abdullah all my words, and when he needs help, he can go to the Tang Military Town in the river to find me. Ma Lan waved his hand.

The Persian merchant nodded, covered his ears with his hands, and strode away. He is obviously also a ruthless character, he didn't say a word, and judging from his steady steps, he was also a good player in the army.

Ma Ling took Gao Qianqian into the backyard and easily found boxes of gold coins. Obviously, Abdullah also spent a lot of money in order to install these fine works.

The food is rich, the Hu merchants are especially rich in gold and silver, although the Tang Dynasty is powerful, it is extremely scarce in gold and silver. Although gold and silver are not used as currency in the Datang market, the price of gold and silver is actually very high. Gao Qianqian's eyes were crooked with a smile when she saw so many Umayyad gold dinars.

"It's worth at least half a million dollars, and I don't know how these guys got here."

Ma Lan smiled: "How did it come here, it was ours when it was shipped." ”

These coins are worth more than half a million dollars, and these guys spend only a lot more on iron ore. At this moment, Abdullah, the governor of Syria, lost more than a million copper coins worth of wealth.

But for the Syrian governor, I'm afraid it's all small money.

Crossing the shop again into the street, a patrol of Anthy sergeants had already arrived. They had been here for a while, and they didn't dare to go in knowing that it was the general.

Ma Lan ordered them to enter the shop, carry out all the corpses of the Persian warriors, find a craftsman to sew the corpses together, and put the signs of "black clothes and fine work" on their bodies one by one, and hang them all on the gate of Qiuzi City for public display. In addition, he sent people to find Feng Changqing and Duan Xiushi to deal with the aftermath.
