"That's a fool, originally a fierce general, but since he was crippled, he has become a waste. However, he was a descendant of Balus, so after he went to Chang'an to become the general of Zuo Weiwei, people from the Persian temple contacted him and expressed their allegiance. ”

"But after hearing a lot of what he said, it seems to me that the people of the Persian temple are not sincerely loyal to him, but want to use his status to preside over the Persian temple behind his back, and he does not know who it is. He was a Persian royal family, so he nominally became the leader of those people. ”

The Xinghu woman stood in front of Ma Lan and whispered.

Ma Ling nodded silently, he naturally believed in Michelle's judgment.

"In order to reopen the Persian Governor's Mansion this time, the Persian Temple spent a lot of money, and it was only through the left minister Chen Xilie that this matter was achieved. After Mu Kun became General Zuo Weiwei, he had a close relationship with Chen Xilie, Chen Xilie wanted a lot of wealth accumulated in the Persian Temple, and he didn't know that Mu Kun was not the real owner of the Persian Temple, of course, Mu Kun, a fool, thought that he was the master of the Persian Temple, and didn't know that he was just a puppet. ”

Ma Ling frowned and asked, "Then who is the real master of the Persian Temple?" In the past, when Mu Kun did not arrive in Chang'an City, who was the leader of those Persian remnants? ”

In the battle of Shule North, Mu Kun's department was all annihilated, and the Persian women and children were annexed by the Geshu department, when Mu Kun was taken to Chang'an City by Bian Lingcheng, he was the only one, but this time he came to the river to perform his duties but brought hundreds of Persian guards, all of whom were Persians in Chang'an, and these people must have come from the Persian temple.

Michelle shook her head and said, "I don't know." Mu Kun himself didn't know, so naturally I couldn't ask, but I was sure that he was a puppet from the Persian Temple. ”

Ma Lan nodded. In the first battle of Shule North, it has been proved that Mu Kun is a brave and unscrupulous horseman, since Mi Xue judged it this way, the truth must be like this.

Mi Xue continued: "Mu Kun became a wasted man, he had a grudge against the general, and after he received the allegiance of the Persian Temple, he knew that you were going to Chang'an to meet the Son of Heaven, so he wanted to assassinate you in Chang'an City. The elders of the Persian Temple originally disagreed, but later Mu Kun and Chen Xilie reached an agreement. Chen Xilie is the left minister of the Tang Dynasty, with a high and powerful position, and after those elders heard that Chen Xilie also wanted to get rid of you, they changed their minds and agreed to deal with you. ”

"Chen Xilie!" Ma Lan's brows tightened, "Is this matter credible?" I have no grievances with him, why does he want to get rid of me? ”

Mi Xue said: "Mu Kun personally conspired with Chen Xilie many times, and I think his words are true. Chen Xilie wants to get rid of you, but the purpose is not you, but Yang Guozhong. He didn't know at that time that you would be rewarded like that by the Son of Heaven, and he was staring at Yang Guozhong's right minister. He wants to blame Yang Guozhong by getting rid of you, so as to push Yang Guozhong off the position of right prime minister and become the only prime minister himself. ”

"The Persian Temple is responsible for assassinating you, and Chen Xilie is responsible for directing the blame to Yang Guozhong. If you die in Chang'an City, the Son of Heaven will be furious, and it is impossible for Yang Guozhong to continue to stay in the position of right minister. In return, Chen Xilie will seek more benefits for the Persian royal family in front of the successor Anxi Dutu. ”

Ma Lan's face slowly sank and listened quietly.

"According to Mu Kun, after the Son of Heaven gave you the daughter of the Yang family to marry, you asked Du Huan to swagger into Chang'an City with dozens of your concubines, and openly slapped the Yang family in the face, Yang Guozhong once expressed his dissatisfaction in the court, and even the Son of Heaven knew that you did not want to be close to the Yang family, and also knew that Yang Guozhong did not like you. If that assassination was successful, and the person who shot it was the Yang family, Yang Guozhong would not be able to clear the relationship no matter what. In that case, Chen Xilie's goal will be achieved. ”

"However, that assassination was not successful, but it caused a conflict between you and the Yang family. This is also a good ending for Chen Xilie, but Mu Kun is bent on killing you, but he is not satisfied with this ending. ”

"This time I came to the river, Mu Kun's first goal was to kill you and avenge his death. Because the Son of Heaven said that the position of the right minister will be yours sooner or later, which makes Chen Xilie extremely jealous of you, so he also agreed with Mu Kun's idea. At that time, Yang Guozhong had achieved a great victory in Nanzhao, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would re-enter the court, Chen Xilie was still killing two birds with one stone, and wanted to put the responsibility of killing you on Yang Guozhong after you died, and then he could monopolize the power and become a veritable prime minister. ”

"Among this group of Persian guards, there are a large number of assassins hidden, who were originally brought by Mu Kun to deal with you. However, he died by himself today, and as a result, those good hands were wiped out by the general, but the trouble was relieved in one fell swoop. ”

Ma Ling sneered, no matter how strong the Lian family is, it can't compete with the regular army, and one-on-one assassins may have an advantage, but if the number is equal, the assassins who rely on small kung fu to win will become a joke.

"Chen Xilie! It turned out to be Chen Xilie! ”

Mu Kun's confession was completely unexpected, but it was reasonable to think about it.

If according to the original historical trajectory, Chen Xilie has been squeezed out of the political hall by Yang Guozhong at this time, and became an idle prince and prince, after the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion, Chen Xilie surrendered to the rebels and was awarded the post of prime minister.

This person's character is not very good, otherwise when Ouyang Xiu compiled the "History of the New Tang Dynasty", how could he be included in the "Biography of the Traitorous Minister"?

The two major culprits of the Anshi Rebellion were An Lushan and Yang Guozhong, so Ma Lu has always paid great attention to these two people, but he didn't expect Chen Xilie to want to be the yellow bird behind him, and wanted to step on him and Yang Guozhong to ascend to the position of first assistant.

"Chen Xilian dares to do this! Isn't he worried that I'm dying in the river and ruining the situation in the river? Ma Luan's eyes surged with murderous intent, and he slapped the back of the chair hard.

Mi Xue said: "According to Mu Kun, he once asked Chen Xilie this question, but Chen Xilie said that the famous generals of the Tang Dynasty are like clouds, there are many capable people, and the intelligence exceeds that of generals. ”

Ma Ling snorted, and said in his heart that Chen Xilie's words were not unreasonable. The Tang Dynasty did have too many talents buried, and an Anshi Rebellion brought many generals to the stage of history. Compared with characters like Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, he really has no advantage in terms of intelligence, after all, he was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and the only advantage is that he read enough books in his previous life and can know something in advance.

And now the history of the Tang Dynasty has been brought into another fork in the road, and no one can see the future trend clearly, the advantage of mastering the history books is rapidly weakening, and the only remaining advantage is nothing more than the knowledge of some gunpowder weapons.

The Tang Dynasty is definitely not short of talents, without the Anshi Rebellion, Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi are destined to be famous, but like Li Jing's first appearance, he was shining in the originally stalemate of Liaoxi, and Gongren was only slightly famous, and this time after taking the Tang army to the plateau, he also quickly showed his ability.

If he was really killed by Mu Kun, there would definitely be other generals to preside over Hezhong, and in Li Longji's selection of generals, it was unlikely that he would be a non-human, and there should be no problem with Shoucheng.

But no matter what, since he knew about this matter, Chen Xilie naturally couldn't let it go. And the families of the guards of Yang Guozhong's family who died in vain must also be compensated.

"Take me to see Mu Kun, I'm going to ask him personally." Ma Xuan said in a deep voice.

Michelle was stunned for a moment and said, "He was tortured by me, and in the end, I killed him with my own hands." General, killing him after the interrogation was an order you gave me. ”

"Already dead?"

Michelle nodded: "It's dead." The heads of the men have been hung by me on the head of the city, along with the heads of the Persian guards. ”

"So...... The details of Yankangfang's assassination, what did Mu Kun say? How was he able to command those guards? What does the suicide will be a prison and what does the young eunuch have to do with him? ”

Mi Xue shook her head and said, "He didn't say this, and I didn't ask in detail." General, did I kill a little too early? ”

Ma Lan secretly screamed in her heart that it was a pity, but she made Michelle look tired, knowing that she had worked hard to get a confession, so why could she bear to blame her. However, since Mu Kun is a puppet and the Persian Temple is the main master, there is still a chance to make up for it.

"If you're dead, you're dead, anyway, you'll know pretty much that." Ma Ling smiled and looked at Mi Xuedao, "I have to work hard for you to do two things." First, catch up with Mu Kun's messenger who sent the chapter to Chang'an, and kill on the spot to get the chapter back. Second, send a group of people to Chang'an to find out the details of the Persian temple for me. I want to know who is secretly manipulating the Persian temple and what the real purpose of these Persian descendants is. ”

Mi Xue nodded and said, "I personally went to Chang'an and handled these two things together." ”

"I'm tired."

The Xinghu woman glanced deeply at Ma Lan, walked out of the garden and disappeared quickly. Ma Lan let out a sigh, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

He already has an heir in this world, and his life becomes more important. Whoever wants to take his life must pay with his life.

Mu Kun wanted to deal with him, but he had already died at his hands, and the descendants of the Sassanid Empire in Tocharian Mountain would also be wiped out. And since Chen Xilie wants to kill him, he must also die.

He is still a ranger in nature, so he is not prepared to report to the Son of Heaven in this matter, and he is not prepared to get rid of Chen Xilie through the court dispute, because that will give Chen Xilie a chance to argue, and it may not be able to achieve the effect. The easiest way to do that is to get rid of things directly.

Regarding the assassination of Yankangfang, he still had questions in his heart, how did the people of the Persian Temple command those guards sent by the Yang family to the Fufeng Hou Mansion, so as to complete the blame for Yang Guozhong, these Mu Kun's confessions are not there, this question needs to wait until Mi Xue returns from Chang'an.

There must be a lot involved, but no matter who is involved, Ma Lan is not ready to let it go. (To be continued.) )
