Everyone started to get busy.

Traveling west, he hurried to Shengyan Temple with Ashina Hebao and Lu Long.

The sand thieves in Ziyuntian and the horse thieves in the Devil City have a big debate on their choice of staying or leaving. Some miss their hometowns and are afraid of traveling far away to continue to do business with blood on their heads. Some just want to find a place in the pass to live a stable life from now on. From then on, they are no longer worried about being displaced. Only a few people are willing to continue to follow Ashina Hebao and Lu Long. They have no great wishes, but brothers are unwilling to give up.

The two thief leaders immediately divided the gold, silver and wealth. Those who were willing to leave the customs would go out, those who were willing to stay would be covered by Shengyan Temple, and those who were willing to join the Northwest Army would be equipped with some supplies, because tomorrow we would start traveling to Liaodong.

The huge caravans of Shi Penglai and Su Hexiang had already traded in Longle Army City and Dunhuang City around the New Year. Because the Su family was leaving the northwest, at the suggestion of Jialan, Su Hexiang handed over all the industries in Hexi to Shengyan Temple. In name, it was a donation, but in fact it was a sign of Shengyan Temple and continued to make profits under the protection of Shengyan Temple. The two families only shared the profits. This way of hiding property and evading taxes has long been common in Middle Earth. The real reason why the powerful and wealthy people in Middle Earth are keen on Buddhism and donating generously is this.

Although Shi Penglai and Su Hexiang had to leave the Western Regions due to the situation, they did not want to give up Hexi. If they gave up Hexi, it would actually be equivalent to giving up the interests of the Silk Road. They are both Silk Road merchants. Although they have some industries in Chang'an and even Luoyang, they have devoted all their efforts to enter the heartland of Central Earth to "conquer the world", which is not a normal way to do business. However, Galan is very pessimistic about the future of the Northwest and believes that the Silk Road will not be profitable for the future. On the contrary, although the situation in Central Earth is not optimistic, it is full of business opportunities, which is enough to make a fortune.

Jialan's persuasion is limited, and the deduction is not true after all, but behind him is the current powerful minister Pei Shiju, the current military hot commander Xue Shixiong, and he himself is the most famous secret soldier in the northwest. This makes him full of a mysterious halo, and this halo gives him an invisible secret strength. This strength is even Feng Xiaoci, Wang Wei and Changsun Hengan are afraid of this strength, let alone Silk Road giants such as Shi Penglai and Su Hexiang. Therefore, adopting Jialan's suggestions certainly has certain risks, but they also contain huge benefits.

Shi Penglai and Su Hexiang decided to work together and have a gamble.

Su Hexiang never thought that she could tie Galan's heart and his impermanent figure. It was impossible in the past and impossible in the future. People like Galan were born to kill their lives and lived with their heads all day long. They never knew if there was a tomorrow. Falling in love with such a person is actually spending their lives with loneliness and sadness.

"Will you go to Luoyang?"

In Jialan's military tent, in the empty and quiet tent after everyone left, under the gaze of Asuna Sulu, Yuchi Pianpian and Xueer, Su Hexiang, with a melancholy expression, asked slowly. Shi Penglai asked this sentence, but Su Hexiang still had to ask, she needed a promise from Jialan and she needed a hope.

"September at the latest."

Jia Lan wrote a letter at her desk, writing to Mr. Falin from the White Horse Temple in Chang'an and Mr. Minggui from the White Horse Temple in Luoyang, while saying calmly, "Don't worry, I don't think I will die on the battlefield in Liaodong. I once told Ashina Nishu that I will come back ten years later. Today I will also give you a promise, ten years later, we will go home together, return to the northwest, and return to Loulan."

Su Hexiang frowned slightly, "Ten years? Is it really OK?"

"As long as I'm still alive," Galan smiled, "Of course, even if I die, my brothers will still go home. Unless they die, no one can stop them from going home."

"I want to go with you." Asuna Suro's voice suddenly sounded, his tone was very firm and his expression was extremely firm.

Galan glanced at her, smiled and nodded, "Of course, of course you will follow me."

"Really?" Su Luo was surprised and happy, unbelievable. In her opinion, Jialan must have left her again this time and went to Liaodong alone.

Su Hexiang was also surprised, "You want to take her with you? How is this possible? How do you hide her identity?"

"There is no need to hide it." Jialan said disapprovingly, "Nijuechuluo Khan has been staying by the emperor's side. Wherever the emperor goes, he will also go. A few months later, the emperor will go to Liaodong, and Nijuechuluo Khan will also go to Liaodong. At that time, I will beg Mr. Pei Ge or the old coach to report to the emperor and hand her over to Nijuechuluo Khan."

Su Luo cheered, unable to help himself. Su Hexiang vaguely guessed something and asked in Chinese dialect in a low voice, "She is also very important?"

Galan stopped the pen in his hand and said nothing.

"Same as the third prince of Kang State?" Su Hexiang asked again.

Galan's face was dark and after a long time, she sighed, "I am very pessimistic about the future. Perhaps there will be a disaster for the creatures to suffer, so I really want to do something. Although my personal strength is too small, I am a monk disciple. I want to be compassionate and love and save all living beings. I cannot do nothing and let countless creatures die."

Su Hexiang laughed, "Are you going to become a Buddha on your own?"

"I haven't put down my butcher's knife yet." Galan smiled and said, "The Buddha said to me, God Galan, this is your mission, go and kill."

Su Hexiang curled her lips and said disdainfully, "You bloody Asura."

"Don't speak Dongtu dialect." Su Luo couldn't understand what the two of them said, but it must have something to do with him. He was anxious and shouted angrily.

Su Hexiang ignored her at all and continued to say in Chinese dialect, "Do you want to present her to the emperor as a gift?"

Jialan glared at Su Hexiang with dissatisfaction, "Am I that shameless?"

"You have done many, many more shameless things than this."

"Okay, okay." Jialan shook his hands repeatedly, not wanting to argue without any quarrel. "You don't have to worry about Su Luo's affairs. Take good care of Pianpian, and there are also the Xue family, especially the Sima Madam, don't let her suffer any harm."

"Since the emperor's imperial edict to pardon the Xue family has reached the northwest, why did the Xue family secretly return to Chang'an?" Su Hexiang asked in confusion.

Jialan thought for a while and said, "Tell me this to you. Because what happened next is very unfavorable to the Xue family, I want to threaten Xue Deyin and take him to Liaodong."

Su Hexiang was even more confused and looked puzzled, "Is there any secret here?"

"Yes." Galan said, "In autumn, this secret will be revealed to the world."

Su Hexiang was even more surprised, "Is this related to Master Pei Ge?"

Everyone linked Galan and Pei Shiju together, which is also an important reason why Galan has always worn a mysterious halo. Therefore, some people wanted to kill him, while others wanted to use him, and he survived with difficulty. Galan didn't want to explain, and there was no need to explain. The big flag of "Pei Shiju" can solve all problems. This is "the fox pretends to be a tiger's power". In the future, Pei Ge Lao knew that he had been pulling his "tiger skin" to make a big flag in the northwest, showing off his power, and didn't know what he should think.

Jialan's silence is the best answer. Su Hexiang's high-rise heart then slowly let go. With Pei Shiju as the "god-level" backer, how many things can't be done today? How dangerous can Jialan be? For example, this time, did he go through a lot of hardships to kill out of the enemy's siege?

Xue Deyin was anxious, and Mrs. Sima was even more frightened.

After returning to his tent, Mrs. Sima said his doubts.

Along the way, Galan's strength was far greater than she had imagined. This time, the emperor pardoned his guilt and restored his official position. The Weifu even ordered him to lead his army to the battlefield in Liaodong. One way, it showed that the power behind him was working hard to cultivate him, and the other way, the emperor was about to start his second Eastern Expedition. Against this background, Galan asked the Xue family to disguise themselves and follow the caravan to Luoyang, but he never mentioned Xue Deyin's whereabouts, nor mentioned the imperial edict to stay in Yuan Hongsi and pardon the Xue family, which was enough to make people guess many things.

Xue Deyin was worried about "a sheep entering the tiger's mouth". It was a huge mistake to choose to ask for help from Jialan. Mrs. Sima"> was worried, worried that the Xue family would be devastated again.

Just as the two were wandering around, Galan hurried over.

"Did Yang Xuangan, Minister of Rites, conspire to rebel?"

Jia Lan's words were shocking. Mrs. Sima"> was shocked, and Xue Deyin's face changed drastically, with a look of horror.

"Are you one of the planners of this conspiracy?" Jialan continued to ask, "You hurriedly returned to Chang'an, are you going to participate in Yang Xuangan's rebellion?"

"General, this is absolutely impossible." Mrs. Sima"> shouted in dismay, "The Xue family has been compatriots for nearly three years..."

"Madam">It can be seen that during the Western Expedition, Yang Xuangan conspired to rebel, and planned to attack the palace in Dadoubagu, kill the lord and usurp the country." Jialan raised his hand to stop Mrs. Sima">, "After the Western Expedition, Li Zixiong, the General of the Right Guard, was the first to be removed from office, followed by the husband of Xue, the Sili doctor at that time. Li Zixiong and your old man were both Yang Su's best friends, especially Li Zixiong was the old commander in the army, and Yang Su's old subordinate. Why did the emperor remove Li Zixiong, the old commander in charge of the guards? Why did he hang his husband of Xue, the master of Wenyuan who was in charge of the capital? Do you really know the secret behind it?"

Mrs. Sima was extremely shocked. This question from Galan gave her a terrible impact that she had never had before, making her mind blank and she almost lost her ability to think.

"It's impossible, it's impossible..."

"The pardon is hereby come down, why is Yuan Hongsi not sent it? Why doesn't Yuan Hongsi go through the Hexi Guard Mansion to find you and provide protection? Why does he send Li Gui, a prominent Hexi tribe, to Yangguan to secretly respond, instead of sending an army to escort?" Jialan asked a series of questions, hitting the key points, "Why didn't Louguandao and the Li family in Longxi, Chang'an Changsun family travel thousands of miles to Qiemo to find the Xue family? What do they want to get from the Xue family? Are the enemies of the Xue family Pei family or others? Who is going to kill you?"

"This is absolutely impossible." Mrs. Sima">Quickly recovered from the terrible impact, she fought back without hesitation, "Evidence? General, do you want to come up with evidence?"

"If there is evidence, can Yang Xuangan still rank as the Minister of Rites?" Jia Lan sneered.

"So, all this is your guess?"

"This is not my guess, but many people's guess." Jialan pointed to Xue Deyin with a dark face. "Madam">You can ask him, who is going to kill you, and who is looking for you to try to obtain evidence in order to get amazing benefits from this matter."

"Do you include you? Pei Shiju behind you?" Mrs. Sima"> asked coldly, "Are you lying to us all the time? Use us?"

"I told you that I'm going to Chang'an to kill someone."

"Does the people you want to kill include us?"

"It depends on Xue's husband's choice." Jialan pointed to Xue Deyin, his tone getting colder.

Mrs. Sima's face was as cold as frost, "Why should you tell us? You want to kill him?"

Jialan didn't speak. After a long time, he sighed, "Madam"> once said, "I look like a relative of yours. I still remember the first day I got the winter nest. You said you were going to take me home. This is my home. Standing in front of my mother's grave, I suddenly thought of what you said, I asked my mother, do I have a sister-in-law? If so, where is my sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Sima">Suddenly thought of something, her face turned sad, and tears suddenly surged out of her eyes.

Jialan looked at Xue Deyin, and said word by word, "Husband Xue, can you give me a choice?"

Xue Deyin sighed and asked, "Why are you in Tulunchuan?"

"If you want to know the answer, then what you think is the answer."

"Pei Shiju sent you to monitor us?"

"If I say it's a coincidence, you won't believe it anyway, so, just as you say."

"How much does Pei Shiju know?"

"What I know is what Pei Ge Lao understood." Jia Lan said, "The struggle for central power is either you die or I live. Even if there is no evidence, it is false evidence. At present, the powerful and powerful Guanlong have absolute advantages, and Yang Su has been in charge of the central government for nearly twenty years, assisting the late emperor and supporting the current emperor, with power in the sky, and his disciples and former officials spread all over the world. Think about it, after the late emperor pulled out his brothers, including Yang Liang, Gao Bing, He Ruobi and other old ministers, who would he deal with next? Of course it was Yang Su. Fortunately, Yang Su.

Su was dead, Yang Xuangan was very smart, cautious and low-key, but the towering tree of Yang was too big, and now it was like a ray of light on his back. Today, the favorite ministers of Shandong and Jiangzuo around him were even more worried and uneasy. The battle between the two sides was sooner or later. Sooner or later, the towering tree of Yang was about to overturn. Three years ago, the emperor took advantage of the power of martial arts in the Western Expedition and killed the two major forces of the military, Xue Daoheng of Wenyuan, and successively, which showed that the determination to eradicate the towering tree of Yang.

Mrs. Sima ">I had a premonition of something, my delicate body trembled, my face was extremely pale, and my eyes were filled with fear.

"The emperor is going to take action?"

"It's not that the emperor wants to take action, but Yang Xuangan forced the emperor to take action, and the Guanlong powerful people forced the emperor to take action." Jia Lan sneered, "A million army went on an expedition to Goryeo, and devoted all its national strength to the death, but returned in a crushing defeat. Nearly 300,000 erlangs buried their bones in Liaodong. May I ask, does the Goryeo small country have 300,000 troops? The emperor suffered this shame, the center suffered this heavy blow, and his prestige was gone. What will happen next? Don't say that the emperor would think of it, even a fool would think of it, so, what do you think of it next?"

"Is this the conspiracy of the center?" Xue Deyin asked in a trembling voice.

"This is your conspiracy." Galan said sternly, "It is you who ignore the great benefits of the Middle Earth and the vast people of the Middle Earth for your own selfish interests. Even if you are damn rebels, you will not be able to comfort the 300,000 unjust souls in the nine springs."

"Dalang, is this true? Is it true?" "Madam Sima"> was shocked and almost suffocated.

"Qianniang, it's impossible." Xue Deyin flatly denied, "it's impossible"

Lan looked at Xue Deyin, and a trace of smile slowly appeared on the corner of her mouth, "What I want is your words. Since you don't know anything, then go to Liaodong with me."

"Go to Liaodong?" Xue Deyin refused without hesitation, "It's impossible"

"You must go." Jialan asked, "Who helped you convince the emperor to pardon the Xue family's guilt? Who is your best friend? What are you doing when you go back to Chang'an at this time? If Yang Xuangan raises troops to rebel at the critical moment of the emperor's Second Eastern Expedition, would you participate or not?"

Xue Deyin's face changed suddenly, and her eyes widened suddenly, looking at Galan like a ghost.

Mrs. Sima ">I understood, everything was clear, her heart was so painful that it hurt like rain.

"Is this a conspiracy?" Xue Deyin pointed to Jialan and screamed as if she lost her mind. "This is the emperor's conspiracy, Pei Shiju's conspiracy, the conspiracy of Shandong and Jiangzuo people."

"This is a conspiracy of the Guanlong people." Jialan sneered, and then bowed deeply at Madam Sima, "After all the words, please make a decision."

Mrs. Sima">kneeled on the ground, thanked her with great gifts, and choked and lost her voice.

"I will go to Liaodong tomorrow morning. I hope that husband Xue can join the army as my mission and go to Liaodong with me." Jialan stood up and said calmly, "If husband Xue refuses, my previous promise will still be effective. I will help husband Xue secretly cross the Yellow River, but Mrs. "> and the elders of the Xue family must follow the caravan to Luoyang. In the future, even if husband Xue has an accident, the elders of the family will still have a chance to be safe."
