Rebirth of the Viking King

Chapter 569 87 The Truth (3)

When the investigation has reached this level, the Legalist mentors have basically locked in the fact that the initiator of this conspiracy is most likely the Illuminati who was brought to light by the Viking lord "Loki Starrag"!

First of all, among all the outer gods in the world, only the lizardmen from the Illuminati can wear human skin and disguise themselves as humans to mix among the crowd.

In this way, it can be explained that An Lushan is still the same skin after entering and leaving Luoyang, but his personality has undergone tremendous changes.

You know, it is not easy to get involved in the political fame and fortune market.

This is not like poetry, poetry, math addition and subtraction, which can be solved by memorization.

This requires staying in the officialdom for a long time, suffering a lot of losses, paying a lot of tuition fees, and even a lot of talent and luck to be able to be thick-faced but evil-hearted, and to be kind to others.

Ordinary mortals hang out in the officialdom, and there are many people who have failed to achieve their goals for more than ten or twenty years. After being around for 30 to 50 years, there were many people who made one wrong move and ended up being executed.

An Lushan, on the other hand, was a foreigner from the Western Regions who made his fortune by stealing sheep.

Officials of the Tang Dynasty still needed to pass the imperial examination to obtain titles and titles. What the mixed-blood scoundrel can best use is the Hu Xuan dance inherited from his biological mother and a few skills of Western witchcraft.

He couldn't even read a few Chinese characters, let alone the poems and songs popular among the Confucian scholars of the Tang Dynasty, and all kinds of unspoken rules of officialdom that could not be discussed openly.

The Legalist teacher believed that the Hu general who was about to be beheaded before entering Luoyang was his true identity.

After sitting on death row for several days, the real An Lushan was dead.

A lizard man who had survived for an unknown length of time put on his human skin and returned to the Western Regions in his name.

After figuring this out, he continued to take out gold and silver from his pocket, and naturally he had the answer.

Regarding the officials in the Eastern Land, what An Lushan said when offering bribes was: "This is ill-gotten wealth from the demonic people of the Western Regions."

The vast majority of civil servants who had not experienced a real war took it for granted that what they said to the honest and honest Hu generals was true. The white silver ingots are placed in front of you, and no one will choose to refuse.

Most of the officials put the money into their pockets and never asked about it again.

But all this cannot escape the eyes of the Legalist teacher.

Sixty years later, when we re-examine all this, the most puzzling thing is the large amount of gold and silver that appeared out of thin air in An Lushan's pocket after returning from Luoyang.

He did accumulate some wealth by waging wars, but all the gold and silver was used to build the army or reward his subordinates.

An Lushan's army was invincible in the Western Regions, first of all because it was well-equipped.

All his men were equipped with Damascus steel swords from the Arab Empire and fine steel chainmails made in the "Mojia Agency Camp". All officers and soldiers, regardless of their official position or origin, are first issued a set of equipment when entering the camp.

He holds a strong soldier and wears thick armor.

Not to mention combat skills, the simple equipment of this Hu army is not inferior to the regular army of the Tang Dynasty.

Secondly, his army is the only one among all the foreign mercenaries of the Hu people to have magicians from the Tang Dynasty.

It is true that An Lushan cannot hire a powerful sword cultivator. However, it is still possible to find a few registered disciples of the "Zongheng School" and "Taoist School" to train a few enemy formations for your troops.

All of this requires a large amount of funds to support.

The poor countries in the Western Regions that he defeated simply could not afford the expenses of this army, not to mention that he never exploited the soldiers' pay.

Every time a battle is won, the entire army will be rewarded heavily.

Even if the extra knowledge in his mind can be explained by the occasional "soul travel" on this continent, the large amount of gold and silver conjured from the air cannot be explained anyway.

According to the precise calculations of the Legalist tutor, from the time An Lushan returned to the Western Regions from Luoyang in AD 738 to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion in AD 755, in these short 17 years, he dispersed at least five million taels of silver.

This is equivalent to the expenditure of the Youzhou Protectorate for 5 years.

And his salary from the third-grade military rank is only 61 taels of silver per year.

Even if he was a secret agent of the Abbas family, the Arab Empire would never have the courage to make such a high-level gamble. Such a large amount of gold and silver is enough to build a new city of three to five or more, or to arm an army of 100,000 people.

The Abbas family does not have the courage to put this kind of capital on an ordinary general.

The only one who can accomplish all this is the Illuminati, who regard money as dirt.

After determining the direction of the investigation, new doubts arise.

The Illuminati Lizardmen wear human skin and hide in human civilization. Their main purpose is to secretly control the kingdom, collect gang members, accumulate wealth for the gang, and also conduct some explorations of ancient gods and foreign lands along the way.

According to their normal formal logic, subverting the regime and causing killings is obviously not in their own interests.

Living in An Lushan's body, he secretly bribed several royal officials and important court officials. When the power of the dynasty changes, support your own puppet emperor, kill him at the appropriate time, and replace him with human skin.

This was what the Illuminati Sect Masters considered doing.

The Anshi Rebellion was launched in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, causing tens of millions of casualties among people and troops. What was the purpose of all this?

The Legalist tutor continues to search for answers, but the ensuing investigation does not go well.

On the one hand, it is extremely difficult to detect the whereabouts of the Illuminati leader. Most peripheral members can only meet the leader once within a few years, and the location of the meeting is ever-changing.

On the other hand, the peripheral believers of the Illuminati each have their own tasks. The vast majority of them are completely indifferent to the history of this secret society and have no idea what kind of work other members are doing.

Even if there are Legalist mentors who successfully sneak into the Illuminati and lurk as hidden stubs, most of them perform tasks that are exclusive to peripheral members of the Illuminati.

The information obtained by the Legalist teachers is still very limited.

Changes occurred 5 years ago.

This year, the Legalist mentors welcomed a crucial member—Sophie Starrag, who walked out of the Black Desert for the first time.

At this point, they finally knew what was happening in the underworld on the other side of the Temple of Anubis.

The Legalist mentor finally got the answer they had been looking for for a long time.

It turns out that all of this is because the Illuminati needs to resist the invasion of the Aesir in the underworld.

Create a grand war disaster in the East Continent and send 30 million East Continent undead to the underworld to start a war with the Asa Protoss.

In this way, the pressure on the Egyptian Pluto "Osiris" can be greatly reduced.

The person who planned all of this is called "Lord of Twilight" Sardin.

Based on all these reasons, this operation of Xue Fei's team was carried out.

They obviously want to join the Illuminati.

The real intention behind the scenes is to assassinate the culprit of the Anshi Rebellion, the 'Lord of Twilight' Sardin who is hidden in the underworld.
