Among the wild grass, there are mottled blood. The old man of Persia looked at the young man of the Tang dynasty who was carrying a horizontal knife, and then at the two broken legs in the grass, and his gaze became extremely complicated.

"You...... Is that really that Ma Lan? ”

"If it is fake, no one in the west of the quicksand dares to take the name of a certain family," the Tang youth nodded, and said with a gentle smile, "I am Ma Lan, the protector of the Anxi Dadu and the Pingzhang Shi of the Tongzhong Shumen, who are you and what position you occupy in the Persian Temple, let's talk about it." ”

The old man of Persia sighed, wrinkled his brows and said with a wry smile: "If I knew that you were Ma Lu, why should I fight you!" - Since you are Ma Lu, then I probably don't have to die today - Ma Lu, I don't know how much you know about the Persian Temple, and I don't know how you came to appear in Tingzhou so quickly and will do something to our Persian Temple, originally we should have cooperated well. I am the master of the Persian temple, the great shaman of the Persian temple. ”

Ma Lan looked at this guy and nodded with a smile: "It turned out to be a big shaman, but it's really a big fish." ”

The great shaman looked at the cavalry slowly approaching at the foot of the mountain, and said in a low voice: "Ma Lu, I don't know what you know about our Persian temple and how much you know about our plans, but since we have reached this point, we should talk about it." Sooner or later, we have to meet, and sooner or later we have to cooperate. You can't kill me, we'll be best buddies. ”

Ma Lan sat down with a smile: "What do you want to say, you can say it now." But I'm more interested in the riches of the Persian temple than anything else. I heard that the wealth of the Persian Temple is more than the annual income of the Tang Dynasty, and it just so happens that I am relatively short of money. If you can hand over the money. I may spare your life. ”

"What is Datang's annual income in a year. If you want, you can get the annual income of Datang every year. I mean, do you understand? The great shaman hissed, his brows furrowed in pain.

"Do you mean rebellion?" Ma Lan smiled and said, "If you rebel, you are looking for the wrong person for me." A certain family is Han, and it is not a mongrel such as An Lushan, how can it be for their own selfishness. Let the blood of the people of the world flow like a river? I will not promise you like An Lushan for my own selfishness, and after becoming the emperor, I will establish Huozheng as the state religion. ”

Looking at the big shaman with a shocked expression, Ma Lan smiled and said, "See, do I know a lot about you?" You Persian remnants don't want to destroy the Great Food and restore the country, you have been trying to overthrow my Tang Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, do you think that my Tang Dynasty is weaker than the Great Food? I don't know what you guys think. ”

The big shaman's face was ugly, and he was silent for a long time, and then he slowly spoke: "I have to admit that you do know a lot. ”

Ma Lan smiled: "It must be more than you think." Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to Shiting Prefecture so quickly and wiped you out. ”

The great shaman shook his head and said, "That's a little loss." It's nothing, it's not all in one place. You just killed me, and the Persian temple is still there. Ma Luan, after you are a eunuch, you have reached today's powerful position, and you are still unwilling to go further to become the emperor, which is actually not beyond our expectations, and our understanding of you must be beyond your imagination. ”

Ma Lan smiled faintly.

"What we didn't expect was that you would find out about our plans so quickly, but even if you don't know about these things, we will tell you sooner or later, because we are going to work with you. We did choose An Lushan once, which is why we assassinated you in Yankangfang, but later found out that you were the best choice. At that time, I was glad that you didn't die. ”

"You have no intention of rebelling, but Datang can't tolerate you. Our plan has already begun, and you have already embarked on this path, and if you don't want to, you have to do the opposite. After listening to me, you will know why you have no choice. ”

"I've heard people say that you have my handle in your hands, and I'm curious about what tricks I will have in your hands." Ma Lan squinted at the big shaman and said with a faint smile.

"Don't you believe it? I'll tell you about it in detail. After knowing this, I believe that you will not dare to kill me, you will definitely choose to cooperate with me, and you will definitely choose to rebel and become the emperor, because I know that you have no other choice. The Great Shaman said in a deep voice.

Ma Lan smiled: "You are so confident, but I don't believe it." ”

"You don't believe it because you don't know how much we know about you. I can say that you may not know yourself as well as we know you better! Listen up, Ma Luan......"

The Great Shaman endured the pain and recounted in detail. Ma Lan put his hand on the handle of the horizontal knife, sat cross-legged and listened quietly.

Time passed slowly, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Ma Lu's expression was not relaxed, and he even looked a little hideous in the sun.

When he finally finished speaking, the great shaman let out a sigh of relief.

Although the price was heavy this time and he was forced to have an early showdown, looking at this appearance, the goal was still achieved.

Things didn't go the same way as planned, but they weren't completely out of control. The next thing is just to continue to push the boat downstream.

He knew that Ma Lan must be in a bad mood at this time, and even wanted to kill him, but the final result would definitely be what he wanted.

The great shaman did not think that he was afraid of death, so he spared his life, but it was just for the ideals of the Persian temple for a hundred years. Broken legs are nothing, as long as the final result is good, as long as the Zoroastrian flame can be burned throughout the Central Plains, then in the future you can ascend to the heavenly kingdom of Ahura.

"Ma Lu, what we want is not much, we have your handle in our hands, you can only listen to us. As long as you listen to us, you don't have to pay the price. If you don't want to listen to us, then you can just- Ma Lu, what do you want to do? ”

Seeing that the Tang young man on the opposite side slowly stood up, and raised the horizontal knife in his hand, the great shaman was slightly stunned, and asked with a frown.

"What I hate most in my life is that others want to blackmail me!" The Tang youth sneered.

The great shaman panicked in his heart and hissed, "Even if you kill me, it's useless!" Our plan has been implemented, and there is no turning back for you! If you kill me, you will rebel and leave your relatives, and you will be—"

The great shaman's voice stopped abruptly, and in a flash of the sword, a huge head flew up.

The head rolled in the grass for several feet, and finally turned its back up, the great shaman's eyes full of anger, as if to ask why, why this was so, why he had shown all his cards, and was still killed by Ma Lu.

Ma Luan's eyes were full of hatred, and he stood in the deep grass for a long time with a blood-stained horizontal knife, looked up at the sky, and let out a long breath.

It may seem reckless, but it's the easiest way to break the shackles.

"You want to blackmail me, damn it!"

Lifting the head in one hand and holding a blood-stained knife in the other, he strode down the mountain.

……

Before, Duan Xiushi led a few hundred cavalry to the mountain pass, and immediately stopped, letting the war horses spread out to graze to recover their strength, while waiting for Ma Lu's return.

Since the general had already caught up, the Persian naturally couldn't escape. Not only did he think so, but everyone else did.

After waiting for more than an hour, a figure appeared on a ridge and walked quickly towards the bottom of the mountain.

The tall figure with a javelin standing tall is naturally Ma Lan. In Ma Lan's hand was a huge Persian head.

The athletes rode around, and Ma Ling let out a sigh of relief and handed the head in his hand to a personal soldier, with a reluctant smile on his face.

"Let's go, Chenggong, let's go back to Tingzhou!"

At this time, everything can only be hidden in the heart. There are some things that can only be handled by yourself, and no one can tell them.

"General, this guy is really powerful, I don't know what it is......"

"Go back to Tingzhou first, and I'll tell you some things in the future."

Seeing that Ma Lan didn't want to say more, Duan Xiushi didn't say anything, and the group left Tianshan Mountain and headed towards Tingzhou.

Outside the city of Tingzhou, no enemy has appeared since Ma Lan left, and the entire city is still blocked by the army. When Ma returned with his cavalry, he ordered the city to continue to be blockaded, and merchants were not allowed to enter or leave. The Persian temple is also hateful, if he doesn't find out all the remnants of the Persian temple in Tingzhou City, how can he give up.

Ma Lu's expression looked calm, but Duan Xiushi could feel that he was murderous at this time, Duan Junzi didn't know what was going on from beginning to end, and he was still confused at the moment, but he was secretly worried in his heart.

Ma Xuan rode his horse to the gate of the city, and a personal soldier brought Qinghai Cheng over, and after changing horses, he ordered Duan Junzi to be responsible for garrisoning the army outside the city, and he went directly into the city.

Duan Junzi was still conscientious and stayed outside the city to lead the army, and as soon as Ma Ling entered the city gate, Gu Yuanqin, the general of the Han Navy, greeted him.

Gao Linshan followed Ma Lan to walk in the secret passage of Jinman County Yaxia before, and then waited outside the city, and at this time he also followed Ma Lan into the city, Gao Linshan saw Gu Yuanqin cowering behind him, and strode forward to grab it.

That person was Cai Zhongman, the commander of Jinman County, his other hand was grabbed extremely firmly by Gu Yuanqin, and at this time he was caught by Gao Linshan, his face turned pale and he stammered: "Old Gao, what are you...... Do? Meet, meet, meet! ”

Ma Ling snorted, let the soldiers raise the head of the great shaman, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know this guy?" ”

"It's ...... This is ......" Cai Zhongman looked at the head of the great shaman, frightened and incoherent, at this time suddenly felt that the big shaman was staring at him, and his body fell crooked as soon as he became weak, but fortunately, Gao Gu and the two pulled him, but he had already fainted.

"Forget your ancestors and eat things inside and out!" Ma Xuan looked disgusted, jumped off the horse and kicked Cai Zhongman's body hard. (To be continued......)
