Chapter 26: Coercion

Du Huan was in good spirits and immediately retired to Ma Lan, saying that he was going to draw up a method for the distribution of pensions for Anxi soldiers who died in battle. Looking at this guy's excited appearance, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight.

When you have an idea, you have to rely on concrete things one by one to realize it.

If you want to succeed Gao Xianzhi and dominate Anxi, it is not easy to talk about. There are many generals in the west, and Feng Changqing, Cheng Qianli, and Li Siye are all outstanding people. Even if he takes the credit of leading thousands of Han family sons and daughters to return to the east safely this time, he may not be able to ascend to the sky in one step and get such an opportunity.

The four towns of Anxi are extremely important to the Tang Dynasty, and the protection of the capital of Anxi has always been led by the prince, which is the manifestation of today's attention to this place. With such a heavy land, the Son of Heaven would never easily grant power to anyone.

In the original history, after Gao Xianzhi, Wang Zhengjian briefly presided over Anxi, and died of illness soon after, and then Feng Changqing was the main side. Feng Changqing went around to solicit things, which can also be said to be a great achievement, but he never let the Tang Iron Cavalry cross the west of the Green Mountain.

Feng Changqing was extremely cautious about the Anxi army's involvement in the river, apparently affected by the defeat in the Battle of Talas. If this monarch is allowed to Bian Anxi, the seeds planted in the river today will never have a chance to take root and sprout.

Without the support of the Anxi Army, it would have been absolutely impossible for the Sogdians to fight against the Great Eclipse alone. Even if he can gain momentum for a while, when the big cannibal recovers, he will still become the master of the land in the river after all.

Such a thing, Ma Lan naturally can't accept it.

Right now, it can be said that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so although it is extremely difficult for Anthy to be the main side, he still has to try.

……

Pushing the door open, he came in, and bowed to Ma Lan with a little girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain.

This is the youngest daughter of the Aggressive, whose Chinese name is Kang Qingqing.

Du Yi said very bluntly, if General Ma Lan likes her, please take her with her as a concubine, if General Ma Lan doesn't like her, when she is sent to the Chang'an Palace, she must let people know her identity as Princess Kangguo.

Ma Lan glanced at him and agreed with a smile.

He said that he was willing to let Kang Qingqing be his concubine, but it was just a polite word. This guy's real meaning is to let Kang Qingqing enter the Chang'an Palace.

Ma Luan said that he would not return Kang Qingqing to him, this is the way to maximize the benefits that he can think of. What he was worried about was that Kang Qingqing was violated on the way and was not qualified to enter the palace, so he took Kang Qingqing to meet Ma Lan.

His mind can be seen through at a glance, but it's nothing. For such little girls, he really has no interest, and he has never provoked their ideas.

At the beginning, I had a spring breeze with Kang Lin'er, but I had nowhere to solve my boredom. These girls caught from the ancestral hall are even smaller than Kang Lin'er.

Ma Lan suddenly felt like a courtier, for the sake of fame and fortune to please the Son of Heaven, not only to give treasures, but also to women.

"King Qinhua, I have heard for a long time that all the women in Kangju are good at Hu Xuan, I don't know how this girl Hu Xuan dances?" Ma Lan pointed at Kang Qingqing, and said a little unreasonably.

"Qingqing, jump a little and show it to the general." Aggressively said.

Kang Qingqing is a very beautiful little girl, like a porcelain doll, but her eyebrows and eyes have not yet grown, and she looks a little timid. These days, she is indeed frightened.

After listening to the aggressive words, the little girl stood up timidly, lifted her skirt and began to spin.

The little girl's speed is getting faster and faster, her hands let go of her skirt and slowly raise it high, and her petite and delicate body rotates at full speed, looking extremely beautiful.

"The general should have seen Hu Xuan, how does Qingqing's dance compare to others?" There was a look of pride on his face.

"Not bad, not bad!" Ma Lan smiled and nodded.

On a whim, he confessed his guilt to Ma Lan, and even jumped up in front of Ma Lan. The fat body flickered and moved, and it was actually extremely fast.

"I heard that there is a fat man dancing in Chang'an, weighing more than 300 pounds, his stomach is almost hanging to the ground, and he can walk like a fly, I didn't believe it at first, but today I have seen it." Ma Lan exclaimed.

"General, although the little slave is a little fatter, it does not weigh more than three hundred pounds. The little slave doesn't believe what you say. He panted.

Ma Lan smiled and nodded, and a trace of inexplicability suddenly appeared in her eyes: "The young girl dances like a celestial, and the son of heaven will definitely like it when she enters the palace." If you dance in front of the king, there is a sharp blade hidden in your sleeve, and I am afraid that no one can stop you within five steps. ”

He was suddenly stunned, and quickly stopped, with a look of shock on his face: "General Ma Xuan, what do you mean by this, this is a big rebellion." The general didn't say it, and the slave didn't hear it. ”

"Hehe, just talking." Ma Lan smiled, squinted at him and said, "King Qinhua, Ming people don't do dark things. I heard that the Kangju woman has done a lot of great things in Chang'an, since you have returned to the Tang Dynasty with all your heart, don't do such things in the future. ”

"General, the little slave doesn't understand your words." He looked extremely confused.

"King Qinhua, do you have to make me more clear?"

Ma Luan's face sank, "Someone told me that most of the Huxuan dancing girls in Chang'an City are assassination masters!" They are secretly related to the Kang royal family, which is a means for the Kang royal family to accumulate wealth. Assassinate the secretary of state in order to obtain money, and the price can be clearly marked for those below the third grade. In this matter, does King Qinhua dare to say that it has nothing to do with him? ”

"Wronged, General!" He knelt on the ground with a pout, and said repeatedly, "General, you have wrongfully killed the little slave!" I have always been wealthy, and the little slave is not short of money, how could I do such an assassination! General, the little slave can't afford such a crime. ”

"Really?"

"General, the little slave can swear in front of the God of Light, the little slave has nothing to do with the Huxuan dancing girls in Chang'an City you said! What the general said, the little slave heard for the first time! He slammed his head on the ground and shouted.

Ma Lan glanced at Kang Qingqing.

The little girl had stopped dancing and stood there at a loss. Looking at her, she doesn't seem to understand the Central Plains official dialect spoken by Ma Lan and Duai.

"Little girl, you're beautiful." Ma Lan smiled lightly.

Kang Qingqing's little face blushed and did not speak.

Aggressive's face changed.

Ma Lan snorted, pulled Kang Qingqing over, and stretched out his big hand from the sleeve of Kang Qingqing's shirt. Kang Qingqing screamed, wanting to break free but couldn't.

"General! If you like Qingqing, the little slave is willing to give Qingqing, why do you humiliate the little slave so much! "Duh Hao looked extremely sad and indignant.

Ma Ling ignored the aggressiveness, grabbed the little girl's little hand like an iron tong with one hand, and searched intently in Kang Qingqing's arms with the other hand.

It looks like a light shirt, but it has three layers.

He once untied the shirt of another Sogdian girl with his own hands, and this outfit was exactly the same as Kang Lin'er's.

On the innermost layer, Ma Lu touched a slightly cool thing.

Stretching out two fingers and twisting them, Ma Lu's big hand was withdrawn. A tiny two-inch-long spike appeared between his fingers.

"Qingqing, what's going on? What are you doing with a knife? Aggressively shouted.

"King Qinhua, don't pretend. You and I are allies, some things are good to talk about, why be so nervous. Ma Lan slowly put the iron thorn on the table and smiled.

He turned pale and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

"In the past, you rode the wall between Da Shi and Da Tang, and it was okay to do such a thing. But if you are doing such a thing in the future, if you let the bigwigs in the DPRK and China know, you will not get any support from Datang! To be a famous king in the river, what army can you get, do you still want to stare at this little profit? Ma Lan looked at Duhao, with a smile on his face.

He was silent for a long time and nodded awkwardly.

"General, the little slave knows that he is wrong. Please don't tell those important ministers of the DPRK about this matter. Their anger cannot be borne by the little slaves. If the general can keep the secret for the slave, the slave is willing to pay any price! ”

"Well, that's right!" Ma Lan smiled and said, "Everyone is an ally, how can you do such a thing in an ally's house?" But I can't fully believe your words. So, you can leave the command of those dancers in my hands for the time being. And this time, these dozen or so, including Kang Qingqing, have all been handed over to me, and I will temporarily take charge of this force on your behalf, what do you think? ”

"So the best, so the best!" The light flashed in his eyes, his face showed joy, and he nodded again and again, "If the general does this, the little slave has lost a big burden." ”

Ma Lan nodded: "Then shouldn't you thank me well!" ”

"It's nature! Thank you, general, thank you, general! ”

Ma Lin laughed.

……

Undoubtedly, he was a clever man, and he wittily handed over the command of this mysterious Sogdian killer to Ma Lu.

In fact, it is a crude token, and no one can see that it is a precious item that can command a mysterious power.

Now that the words have been spoken, he will no longer hide it. It turned out that the Zoroastrian shrine was the place where Sogdian women were trained. Those who have good training results will be sent to Chang'an to become a Huxuan dancer and wander among the ministers and nobles.

Kang Qingqing's group has not completed the training, and their abilities are average. But if someone really wants to violate them, they can easily take each other's lives between the beds.

Hearing this, Ma Lan secretly shouted in his heart that it was dangerous.

Du Huan has been beating these little girls' ideas, but fortunately he insisted, otherwise Du Huan would already be a dead man. It would be a pity for such a talent to die on the belly of a Sogdian girl.

This secret power in his own hands is also of great help to his own lord Anxi's plan.

"General Ma Xuan, no one should know Hu Xuannu's secret at all, how did you know about this?"

Ma Lan smiled and did not answer.

Although Kang Lin'er's father and daughter are mysterious, Kang Lin'er is honest enough with him, and he naturally will not betray her and cause her trouble.

"You'll know that in the future. Now Ben Jiang is very curious, who taught those Hu Xuan Dancing Girls? Between these rooms, even the generals may not be their opponents. ”

"It's a slave." Said aggressively, with a look of pride on his face.
