Ma Luan's expression was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "What a certain family did was originally to dissect the traces of the heart. The prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty continues, and a certain family values it more than you. From the very beginning, I never thought about letting the west of the Tang Dynasty break away. If the west leaves the Tang Dynasty, it is a tree without roots and water without a source. The Han people in the world are one family after all, and they cannot be divided into two halves. Tanhualang, I just need time. ”

"These conditions of mine are enough to ensure that even after me, Moxi is still the territory of Datang! Tanhualang, you can call me a fool, but I just need time! ”

Zhang Xun stared at Ma Luan, trying to see something from his expression.

After saying this, Ma Luan's expression was extremely calm. What he said was the truth, it depends on how Zhang Xun chooses.

I only hope that this time, I didn't misread Zhang Xun. I only hope that this lonely minister of the Tang Empire will not make the same choice as Duan Junzi and Doctor Feng.

"Ma Renjie, I probably have no choice."

Zhang Xun, the right minister of the Tang Dynasty, stiffened his face, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"I only hope that my choice today is correct, I only hope that what you say is true, otherwise I will not let you go!"

"Your choice must be the right one, you are a good prime minister." Ma Xuan said solemnly.

"Huh!" Zhang Xun smiled bitterly, "Jiao Zhao named you king, I can't run away from this eternal infamy!" ”

"For the sake of the world, Hanmin, Tanhualang." Ma Lan said in a low voice, "Since Tanhualang has agreed, I, Ma Lan, swear here that I will never step into Chang'an again in this life!" ”

Zhang Xun's eyes flashed: "This is what you said!" ”

Ma Ling nodded solemnly: "If I step into Chang'an, I will not be able to die a good death!" ”

This sentence was said to Zhang Xun, and it was also said to himself.

By this time. The last bit of wildfire in my heart was finally completely extinguished.

……

Zhang Xun's figure has disappeared. Ma Lan stared at the rolling Yellow River in front of him. Silent.

Life! No longer step into Chang'an!

This decision is not only to quench the last bit of ambition in my heart, but perhaps there is something else......

The largest city in the world carries too many memories, and although those memories are not his, they are enough to be unforgettable.

He knew exactly who he was, but there was a figure. It's really lingering. Never go to that city again, or be better for him.

That shot on the Mobei grassland had already cut everything off. Do you regret it? He didn't know.

It was a "yes" thing, but whenever he thought of the ball of blood that was spreading on the cotton skirt, and the lonely back of the woman galloping into the distance, his soul could twitch with pain.

"It's just a woman." He muttered.

"Wait for the idle ear." He thought to himself.

In fact, I haven't thought of that stunning woman for many days, and today I finalized a big event, and my mind suddenly relaxed, and some long-lost feelings came to my heart again.

The water of the Yellow River in this era was not actually muddy, at least outside Lanzhou. Suddenly, that stunning figure appeared in the water. He was looking at him with a smile.

The scenery around the girl, everything is extremely familiar. It was Chang'an City more than ten years ago. Kang Xiaoyu more than ten years ago.

"Brother Pony, ......" The crisp and soft voice sounded softly in the depths of the soul.

Ma Luan's body trembled slightly, and he clenched his fists gently.

"I'm sorry." Looking at the figure, he thought to himself.

"After all, I can't stand you, Xiaoyu ......"

The girl in the water smiled cutely, with infinite affection in her bright eyes, Ma Lan squatted down in pain, and her body was as thin as a shrimp.

Then he slumped and fell to the top of the riverbank.

……

When Ma Lan woke up again, it was already night.

Outside Lanzhou in October, it was already quite cold, and my injured legs were soaked in the cold river water for several hours, and they were almost completely numb.

Ma Lan struggled to his feet, his brow furrowed.

Duan Junzi's assassination, although it didn't kill him, but now it seems that it left some hidden diseases in his body after all. I had been thinking about negotiating with Zhang Xun before, and my spirit had been tense, but there was no problem, but now that I got the desired result, I suddenly relaxed, and suddenly remembered Kang Xiaoyu, and suddenly fainted.

This is a big problem, and I don't know if this will happen in the future. Fortunately, Zhang Xun left after agreeing to his conditions, otherwise he would faint in front of him, and he would definitely kill himself without hesitation.

Slowly moving his body and letting the qi and blood disperse, Ma Ling shook his head slightly, found Qinghai Cheng and slowly galloped back.

By this time, both armies were already encamped, but the distance between them had widened to five miles. The Anxi army camped in the original place, and the camp was equipped with three layers of trenches and barbed wire, while the Longwu army retreated for several miles, and then hastily set up camp on the riverside, and there were still constant cries in the camp at this time.

The monarch's father is dead, and at this time, it is the time to express yourself, cry more, maybe you will be able to get benefits in the future. At this time, the main people who were still crying were the children of the clan and the princes and ministers, and most of the Long Wujun had already fallen asleep.

Ma Lan rode his horse into the camp, the handsome tent had been set up, and the soldiers led Qinghai Cheng over, Ma Lan changed his clothes and sat under the lamplight, but he couldn't sleep all the time, and his mind was full of Kang Xiaoyu's shadow.

I haven't forgotten it, but it's been a long time. In the past, I often fell into dreams, and in my dreams, I became the ranger in Chang'an City, a young man with that beautiful little girl by his side, but this time, I couldn't sleep at all.

"Maybe I'm waiting for Zhang Xun's news, I'm too anxious!" Ma Lan said in his heart.

There is something big going to happen, people are probably like this, before returning from Mobei to Beiting, they didn't sleep well all night all the way, and this time it's like this again. After all, he is just an ordinary person, so he will have such a reaction.

At that time, there was still the beautiful princess of Jianshui who was gentle and happy, and Gao Qianqian who could talk to her heart, but now there is nothing. Ma Lan thought to himself, sitting on the blanket and waiting for the dawn.

The waiting time should have been long, but thinking about the things in Chang'an City, the time seemed to pass quickly. Early in the morning, there was a sudden commotion in the camp opposite, probably something had happened.

It didn't take long for the soldiers to come in and report: "General, General Chen has passed away!" ”

"Old General Chen Xuanli?" Ma Xuan frowned, "How did you die?" ”

"I heard that it was excessive grief and was killed in front of the coffin of the former emperor, and there is a mess over there now!" The soldier replied.

Ma Xuan waved his hand, let his soldiers go out, got up and walked out of the tent and looked at the camp of the Longwu Army in the distance, and said in his heart Zhang Xun is indeed worthy of being a cannibal Zhang Xun, and the ruthlessness of his wrist is simply mad.

It didn't take long for a lonely sound of horses' hooves to be heard in the distance, and a figure was getting closer and closer, it was Zhang Xun.

Ma Lan went up to Qinghai and urged the horse to meet him.

Zhang Xun restrained the war horse, forced Ma Lan to look at him and said, "Ma Lan takes the order!" ”

Ma Lan didn't get off the horse to answer the order, stared at Zhang Xun and frowned and asked, "Tanhualang, you killed Old General Chen?" ”

Zhang Xun threw the holy decree in his hand to Ma Lan, shook his head and said, "Old General Chen was killed by himself, what does it matter to me." ”

Ma Lu took the holy decree, shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. ”

"Believe it or not." Zhang Xun said coldly, turned the horse's head and galloped towards the way he came, "The content of the holy decree will be announced to the world immediately, and I will deal with those who oppose it!" Ma Renjie, don't forget what you said yesterday! ”

Ma Lan looked at Zhang Xun's back and shook his head helplessly. Chen Xuanli must have opposed his request, which was expected, and he was also thinking about how Zhang Xun would solve this matter, but he didn't expect it to be such a drastic measure.

It is worthy of Zhang Xun!

Originally, when Zhang Xun defended Suiyang in the Anshi Rebellion, there was a saying that he could eat people, and when Suiyang City was broken, the residents in the city were basically eaten up, history has changed, and Zhang Xun's ruthlessness has not changed.

Respect for Chen Xuanli is respect, but Chen Xuanli is not his subordinate or relative or friend after all, and he will not think about avenging him. Chen Xuanli's death, I am afraid that it will be annihilated in the long river of history, just like the truth of Li Longji's death.

Unfolding the holy decree, Ma Lu's face suddenly changed again.

The things that were originally agreed upon, but Zhang Xun actually regretted it again!

Other conditions have not changed, and the agreement between the two parties has been fixed in the form of a holy decree, but the king of Moxi requested by Ma Lan has become an inexplicable governor of Moxi - when did the Tang Dynasty have such a position as a governor - and there is no hereditary replacement, although it is stipulated that the governor of Moxi has absolute authority west of the quicksand and acts on behalf of the Son of Heaven, but there is no mention of how the position of governor is inherited!

Not only that, Zhang Xun also asked to divide 1,000 Anxi New Army to go to Chang'an together with ordnance, break away from the formation of the Western Border Army and join the forbidden army, and prepare for the comprehensive change of clothes of the forbidden army!

"Your uncle!" Ma Ling stared at the holy decree for a long time, and scolded angrily.

Zhang Xun is Zhang Xun after all, he must have understood that it was impossible for him to do anything to Long Wujun, and understood that he would not choose to betray the Tang Dynasty and split the country, so he put himself together.

Zhang Xun's meaning is obvious, didn't you say that it just takes time? Well, I'll give you time! Don't even think about other things, such a good thing as hereditary repudiation is impossible!

He made such a decision because he decided that he would not really kill all these people and then go to take Chang'an.

In this situation, Zhang Xun dared to put himself together, Zhang Xun was indeed bold. It seems that he is sure that he will not rebel, the key is that he really will not rebel!

Looking at that holy decree, Ma Luan's expression was extremely strange, and after a long time, he finally let out a sigh.

"Admit it! What else could I ......?"
