"Kid!" Ma Luan's expression changed drastically, staring at the purple-haired fat man, "You say it again?" What kids! Whose children! ”

"Ma Xiang, Lin'er's child is more than two years old and doesn't have a name yet, you, as a father, should also give your child a name." Kang Million said with a smile.

"Where's Lin'er? I'm going to see her! Ma Lan looked excited and said in a low voice.

The appearance of the Sogdian girl with clear and clean eyes instantly appeared in front of his eyes.

That warm whirlwind, that night's gentleness...... All kinds of the past are floating in my mind.

Had it not been for the beautiful Sogdian girl, he would have died in a prisoner of war camp. She saved his life and gave her own to him, although he left the recipe of Chengxintang paper as a price, but how could a recipe repay her affection?

He went to Kufa City without any effort to come to Kufa City, and he didn't have the heart to see her, and he didn't look for her for almost ten days when he came here, but it was because of his hometown timidity.

He never thought that she would actually give birth to a child for him! The spring breeze in the construction of the city once left the seeds of life in her body!

It is the first time that he has had a child of his own. At this time, Ma Lan's heart was also extremely excited.

"Lin'er is in the manor, and the virtuous son-in-law wants to see Lin'er and the child, at any time." Kang Wanwan smiled and said.

Unconsciously, he changed his title from Ma Xiang back to Virtuous Son-in-law.

Ma Lan didn't care, and said in a deep voice: "Fatty, take me now!" ”

"What about all this wealth?" Fat Kang pointed to the camel caravan not far away.

"Let them follow! Take me now! ”

……

The army of 5,000 left the small city of Anbar, escorting hundreds of camels laden with wealth, but did not return to the barracks outside Kufa, but to a huge manor outside the city.

This manor house is only a dozen miles from the city, on the edge of a tributary of the Euphrates River, and is extremely large. Looking at this, Kang Million's business here is doing very well.

The Sogdians and Persians were at odds in the river, and the Sogdian merchants were not affected by the Great Eater. There were thousands of Sogdian warriors in Kang Million's estate, and there were continuous workshops in it, and tens of thousands of acres of land were bought around. Even here, this guy mixes extremely well.

In the garden deep in the manor, a beautiful Sogdian maiden took a child's hand and walked slowly along the path. When Ma Lan saw the two of them, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Three years have passed, and Kang Lin'er should be eighteen years old, her eyes are still clear, but her posture is even more beautiful.

Compared with three years ago, Kang Lin'er has grown half a head taller, and her figure is even more moving. The child she was holding in her hand also had a pair of beautiful eyes, but her hair was as black as ink, and the lines between her eyebrows were quite hard.

His eyes fell on the child, and he could no longer take his eyes off it. A feeling of blood connection instantly enveloped Ma Lu's whole body.

The child's eyebrows were seven or eight points similar to his. That beautiful half-breed little guy is his child!

At this moment, Ma Lan felt that his soul was also trembling.

In his previous life, he jumped high from the cliff, and he didn't want to live anymore, and he was a human in two lives, and he originally thought that his heart was dead, but at this time, Ma Lan suddenly felt that his heart, which was as cold as iron, was warming.

Ma Lan strode through the sparse forest, and was almost in front of the two. The Sogdian girl exclaimed in surprise and covered her mouth in disbelief.

"General Ma Lan, is that you?"

Ma Lan nodded, squatted down slightly, and looked at the beautiful little man.

"Who are you?" The little boy was not timid at all, his clear eyes looked at Ma Luan, and he said coquettishly.

Ma Lan stretched out his hand and patted the little boy's head, his gaze unprecedentedly gentle.

"Me, my name is Ma Lu, have you heard of me?"

"Ma Lan? How is your name the same as my father's? "The pretty little man has a milky voice.

"He's your father!" The Sogdian girl said in a trembling voice, her beautiful eyes already filled with tears.

"Are you my father?" The little guy blinked, "Mother said, my father is a big hero, a very powerful person, are you really a big hero?" ”

Ma Lan gently picked up the little guy, looking at the little guy's delicate appearance, his heart was extremely excited.

It was his child, and he knew it at a glance.

There are some things hidden in the blood, and no one can get rid of them. Seeing this beautiful little man, Ma Lu suddenly felt that his life was alive like never before, and he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.

……

"Husband, why are you here? When did you come? This is Kufa, I don't know how far it is from Kangju, and even farther from Anxi. The Sogdian girl looked at Ma Lu affectionately and said softly.

"I'm here with a large army. Lin'er, don't you know what's going on outside? ”

Kang Lin'er shook her head lightly: "After I arrived here, my father asked me to concentrate on raising this child, and I didn't tell me anything about the outside world, and after I had this child, I didn't care about that." ”

She didn't ask Ma Lan why she came here with a large army, obviously she really didn't care about these, and looked at Ma Lan with clear and clean eyes, and there was too much tenderness in her eyes.

"Your father said the boy didn't have a name yet." Ma Lan kissed the little guy and said softly.

Kang Lin'er nodded lightly: "You are Han, I am just a Hu girl, Han people have many rules, this child is not born to his wife, and he cannot inherit the family business." I will raise this child myself, and I don't need you to give him a piece of inheritance, but you have to give him a name. ”

Ma Lan smiled and said, "Who said that if you are not born to your wife, you can't inherit the family business?" My Ma Lan's children, no matter how many there are, are treated equally, and I don't care if they are bearded or not. After speaking, he stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of the child's head, and said in a deep voice: "This is my first child, let's call you Ma Chen!" ”

"Ma Chen? Why is it called Ma Chen! The little guy said coquettishly.

Ma Lu said softly: "I am your father, my surname is Ma, and you naturally have the surname Ma." Tatsu means dragon. Little one, your name is this, and I hope that you will be able to ride the wind and soar above the nine heavens in the future. ”

The little guy seemed to understand it, tilted his little head and said, "If you call this name, will you be able to become a big hero?" ”

When Ma Lan heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Definitely." Didn't your mother say that? Your father was a big hero, and you will be a big hero in the future! ”

……

He and Kang Lin'er had a spring breeze, it was three years ago. Ma Chen was born in this manor and was already more than two years old.

Seeing this child, Ma Lu temporarily left everything behind, and spent all his time with the mother and son.

After all, they are connected by blood, and the little guy quickly became acquainted with Ma Lan, and when he heard Ma Chen's milky voice calling his father, Ma Lan was in a very happy mood.

Seeing the man she liked again, Kang Lin'er was also extremely happy in her heart.

In Kang Million's manor, Ma Ling lived for three days, and the 5,000-strong army was stationed outside the manor for three days.

For three days, there were only Ma Lan and the mother and son, and no one was allowed to disturb them. Three days later, Ma Lan said goodbye to Ma Chen's mother and son, and temporarily returned to the military camp outside Kufa City with the army.

Caliph Abdullah had been waiting for a few days, and he had come to the barracks with the head of "al-Mansur" to meet Ma Lu, with a look of shame on his face.

"General, Mansur has been killed by me, and the city of Kufa has been taken over by me, but the wealth in the treasury is much less than I expected, only more than 700,000 dinars, and I have raided all those who are loyal to Mansur, and I have only collected a total of 1.5 million dinars. I don't know where Mansur has hidden all his other wealth. “

Ma Lan smiled faintly: "Abdullah, with such a little money, can Mansur build a new royal capital?" Are you going to give this money as a thank you to my army? If I had known this, I should have entered Kufa City by myself, instead of waiting for you to bring it to me. ”

Abdullah said in a loud voice: "General, I can swear to Allah that I have only found so much money." Abdullah is your most loyal friend and will never lie to you. ”

Ma Lan nodded and said, "Forget it." One and a half million dinars will do, send it to me early, and I'll be ready to go back." In addition, prepare 20,000 of the best war horses for me, and ask for the best. ”

Abdullah nodded hurriedly, a relieved look on his face.

It is true that he did not find Mansour's treasure house, and he was afraid of angering Ma Lu, but this time he was also a cross to enter the Tang camp alone, but the result was so smooth.

"Abdullah, you have become a caliph, what are you going to do next?" Ma Lan asked.

"Naturally, it is to rectify the government and find out those who have bad intentions and eliminate them." Abdullah said.

"Mansur wants to move the capital, don't you want to move the capital? Are you really planning to make Kufa your capital? Ma Lan asked with a smile.

"Move the capital?" Abdullah was stunned.

Ma Lan nodded: "Kufa City is the sphere of influence of the descendants of Haojie Ali, you should know this very well. Jafar. Sadiq refused to be the caliph, and the position of caliph fell into the hands of your family, but the other sons of Ali are very dissatisfied with you. ”

"Speaking of blood, Tyje Ali was the son-in-law of the Prophet Muhammad, and his descendants had the blood of the Prophet in their bodies. Al-Mansur wanted to move the capital in order to leave the sphere of influence of Ali's descendants. You are from the same family as al-Mansur, would you really like to make the city of Kufa your capital and be your caliph here? ”

Abdullah pondered for a moment and asked, "What the general said is very true. So where should I move the capital? Is it the island in the river that Mansour chose, or Basra? ”

Ma Lan shook his head: "Neither." Abdullah, you are the governor of Syria, and the Umayyad dynasty has long used Damascus as its capital, and Damascus is the best choice for you. Your most trusted warriors are from there, and I think the knights of the Syrian Legion would like their homeland to be the capital of the empire! (To be continued.) )
