Counting from the day Sa Mojian was launched, Li Juan has followed Ma Lan for four full years. His life was saved by Ma Lan in the river, so he was naturally loyal to Ma Lan.

Although he has been fighting for Ma Lan's hearts in Chang'an City, he has not followed Ma Lan's side, but he has won Ma Lan's trust. He did too many secret things in Chang'an City for Ma Lan, such as bribing Princess Yuzhen with 100,000 yuan.

If it were a different lord, I was afraid that he would not be able to tolerate him a long time ago, but Li Juan knew that such a thing as a rabbit dying and a dog cooking would never happen to him. Because his lord is Ma Lan, he knows what kind of person his general is.

The death of a rabbit and a dog will not happen to him, and it may not happen to his own general. Li Juan looked at the beautiful Xinghu woman, and her heart was already full of waves.

His own generals have made too many meritorious contributions, and they have been promoted too quickly, and they are definitely high-ranking masters, and now they are still continuously conquering cities for the Tang Dynasty, but their official titles have long reached the limit of their ministers.

After there is no reward, there is only killing, and the royal families of all dynasties have dealt with meritorious ministers in this way.

In the past, Taizong killed Hou Junji, and when he was about to be executed, General Hou said, "How can Junji be a rebel!" "How miserable, my own general is now sharp, subverting Tubo and opening up the river, the credit is no less than that of General Hou back then, what will happen in the future, I don't know.

This Xinghu woman can obviously understand this, I don't know how many people in the Anxi army can understand this, but she is like an ostrich in Chang'an City, burying her head and pretending not to know anything.

The question is, is it such a simple thing, do you really not understand it in your heart?

The general is a lonely and loyal person, so naturally he will not have such an idea of disobedience, the question is how many people in the Anxi army now have such thoughts as Mi Xue?

After thinking about it for a while, Li Juan shuddered. Those Long March athletes who followed the general from Sa Mojian to Anxi like him now have a certain position in the Anxi army, how could these people allow such a thing as a rabbit and a dog to happen to their own general?

Li Juan didn't dare to think about it anymore, his face became extremely solemn, and he looked at the beautiful Xinghu woman who was silent for a long time, only a wry smile.

If that day is coming sooner or later, I need to do more for the general. It's not enough to just work so hard to raise the general's reputation.

……

As the largest city in the world, Chang'an City has a large number of Hu people from all over the world, each with their own beliefs. The Heavenly Khan was extremely merciful and allowed them to establish their own places of worship in the city of Chang'an.

There are several Persian temples in Chang'an City, but the most famous Persian temple is naturally the Persian temple in Liquanfang. This Persian temple was built by the Persian king Balus.

During the Gaozong Dynasty, it was the time when the Arab Empire was greatly expanded, the Persian Sassanid Dynasty was destroyed by the Great Eclipse, the last emperor Yi Siai was killed, the prince Balus fled, and asked the Tang Dynasty for support, and the Tang Dynasty then set up the Persian Governorate, which was subordinate to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, with Balus as the governor, and the city of Jiling in the Sistan Basin, which was Zabol in Iran in later generations.

Later, Gaozong canonized Balus as the king of Persia, but due to the long distance, the Anxi army did not really send troops to provide support for Balus, and the rapid expansion of the Great Food Empire made Balus unable to support it, so he couldn't stay in the city of Jiling for two years and fled to the mountains of Tocharo.

The cannibal forces continued to expand to Tocharo, forcing Balus to be unable to gain a foothold, a few years later, Balus fled to Chang'an, Gaozong named him the general of Zuo Weiwei (a said right Weiwei general), Zoroastrianism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, so Balus invited Gaozong, built a Zoroastrian temple in Liquanfang in Chang'an City, this Zoroastrian temple was called the Persian Temple by the people of Chang'an.

There is also a Zoroastrian temple in Chang'an Chonghuafang, which is also called the Persian Temple, this temple was built in Zhenguan for five years, and the time is earlier than the Persian temple in Liquanfang, but because of the identity of the royal family of the Balus Sassanid Empire, the Persian temple in Liquanfang was established, and it immediately became the most prosperous Zoroastrian temple in Chang'an City.

Other famous Persian temples in Chang'an City are the most famous Persian temples in Yining Fang. This is the twelfth year of Zhenguan Taizong edict to build, but this Persian temple is not a Zoroastrian temple, but belongs to Nestorian religion.

Nestorianism is the name of the Christian Nestorian sect in China, because it was also introduced to the Central Plains from the Persian homeland, so the people of Chang'an called the Nestorian temple and the Zoroastrian temple collectively called the Persian temple. Later, it was learned that Nestorianism did not originate from Persia, but came from the greater west of Daqin (that is, the Roman Empire), so Li Longji, the son of the Tang Dynasty in the fourth year of Tianbao, specially issued an edict for this, and the Nestorian temples in Chang'an City and the capitals of Gyeonggi Prefecture were all changed to Daqin Temple to distinguish them from Zoroastrian temples.

Nowadays in Chang'an City, the Persian Temple is already a temple that specifically refers to Zoroastrianism, and the Persian Temple in Liquanfang is the largest of them.

During the day, due to the death of Prime Minister Chen Xilie's family, Chang'an City was full of chickens and dogs, and Liquanfang was not spared. At night, the door closes, and Liquanfang becomes quiet.

The Persian Temple is located at the intersection of the center of Liquanfang, covering a huge area, and there are no dwellings around, but it is a small square. The door was closed in the night, and there was no light from the outside.

In the past few months, the Persian Temple has always been dying one after another, so it is secretly heavily guarded, and today there was a killing of Chen Xilie, the left minister, so the people inside are even more vigilant, and I don't know how many good hands are hiding in the dark in the night.

From the dwelling in the corner of Liquanfang, more than a dozen figures walked out and walked quickly to the cross street in the center of Liquanfang. Looking at the Persian Temple in the night, a sneer appeared in Mi Xue's eyes, and she walked straight to the gate of the Persian Temple.

The reason why it is forbidden to travel at night in Chang'an City is because there is no one else on the street, and there is a slight commotion in the corner above the wall.

An extremely thin short knife appeared in Mi Xue's hand, and the blade was so dim that it could not be seen at all in the night. With a flick of the dagger, it slashed through the gap in the gate and landed exactly on the beam behind it.

The knife was extremely fast, and the crosswood broke in two with a slight click, and the incision was extremely smooth. Michelle kicked open the door, and two figures flashed behind the door, blocking the road with heavy swords in hand.

"It's getting late, no visitors today!" One of them lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.

Mi Xue smiled indifferently, and the short knife in her hand swung out like lightning, which had already pierced into the ribs of this person, and then pulled it out with great speed and stabbed at another person.

The two fell silently, convulsing violently on the ground. Several figures jumped down on the wall, looking at Michelle with great anger.

In the past few months, too many people have died in the Persian temple, and the injuries are the same as these two. Since the government did not know about their existence, they could not report the dead to the government. They have been looking for the enemy, and now, the murderer has actually come to the door.

More than a dozen Anxi agents rushed in, gently closed the door behind them, and forced a few people in the courtyard with horizontal knives in their hands. At this time, more Persians jumped down from the roof, and one by one they held heavy swords and looked at Michelle and his party coldly.

Michelle waved her hand lightly, and suddenly a dozen cold stars burst out from the sleeves of the secret agents, and the Persians let out a low snort of pain one by one, and fell down one after another.

More Persians poured out from the Persian temple, and greeted Michelle and them, Michelle strode forward, the short knife stabbed out like lightning again, and the Persians on the opposite side roared and slashed out with a heavy sword, Michelle twisted her waist and dodged it very strangely, and at the same time the short knife had accurately pierced into the opponent's ribs.

The Persian fell to the ground, and at the same time the Anthy agents strode forward, and the three of them leaned together to form a small arrow formation, and killed the Persian.

More than a dozen Anxi spies faced nearly a hundred Persian warriors, and a bloody battle broke out in the dark night. One by one, the Persian warriors were cut down by the Anxi agents, and some died directly, and the wounded rolled on the ground in pain, but they gritted their teeth and did not say a word.

Anthy's secret agent also quickly had casualties on his side, and the injured also did not shout.

Behind the closed temple gates, it was as if a pantomime was being staged. The two sides fought desperately in the compound, only the sound of weapons clashing and the sound of sharp blades entering flesh, but no one let out a shout.

Anxi agents are the strongest group of people in the Anxi army, and their physical fitness is higher than that of the Modao knights, these are the elites of the battlefield after a hundred battles, although there are few people, they are much stronger than these Persian warriors. However, the Persian warriors were better than the large number of people, and they did not fall behind for a while.

One by one, the Persian warriors fell, without making a sound, Michelle's eyes flashed with cold light under the veil, and every time he swung out, he could stab a Persian warrior, but he was unharmed.

She is the commander of Anthy's secret agents, and her abilities are vividly displayed at this moment.

None of the other Anthy agents would lose to a woman, even if this woman was their boss, and one by one they strode forward with their faces strained, swinging their swords like snow, forcing the Persian warriors to retreat step by step.

The pantomime was played out in the night, and there were people watching the scene from the top of the building, but there was no movement.

Soon after, the compound fell silent as Michelle stabbed one of the tallest Persian warriors to death.

At Michelle's side, there were only eight Anthy agents left alive, and the rest had fallen under the heavy sword of the Persians. These eight living people are also wounded.

They didn't know what tonight's mission was for, but for Anthy agents, obedience was their first rule.

No one rushed out of the building again, and Michelle let out a long breath and looked up at the top of the Persian temple.

The figure at the top smiled silently, retreated into the shadows, and vanished.
