Riding and Slashing

Chapter 285
The man in Box No. [-] was Ikram, the son of Bahaman.

As the eldest son of Bahman, he certainly didn't want Ashcomman to be auctioned, after all, he was Bahman's first heir.

Under the threat of force from Li Ang, Bahaman decided to use Eichkoman to buy peace, and Ikram tried to attack Li Ang while leading the way for Li Ang.

But at that time, the hundreds of poorly equipped Ghazi looters were beaten to pieces by the elite guards around Li Ang.

And at that time, Ikram disappeared.

Now he appeared again, but at Ramon's auction.

"Lord Tahir, you'd better stay still! Ramon! Terminate this meaningless auction...or else..."

Ikram said sinisterly, his eyes were full of despair and madness.

Ramon frowned on the stage, but instead of staring at Ikram, he turned his head to look at the No. [-] box on the other side.

"Your Excellency Yunes, I know Ikram is your agent... Did you instigate this matter?"

Ramon asked in front of Box [-].

Yunes is the second son of Emperor Marius, but the Bacchus Empire is not a hereditary country, so there is no such thing as a 'prince'.And Yunes does not have any position in the Bacchus Empire, so he can only be called 'Your Excellency'.

"It's none of my business...he's in box five and I'm in box one. Isn't that enough to explain the problem? He's not my agent..."

A voice with a Bacchus accent came from the No. [-] box, slightly frivolous.

"Hmph... little boy, you still want to deal with me!"

Tahir was held hostage by Ikram, and he was quite calm at first, but after hearing what Younes said, the Lord of Singal suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the blade of the knife at his throat with his palm!
This is probably because Tahir felt that Ikram seemed to be a personal act. This kind of young man didn't know the severity of things, so he had to save himself.

Tahir's hand was cut by the blade, and blood dripped down, but he managed to temporarily break the blade against his throat aside, and successfully twisted his body, and began to wrestle with Ikram.

The city lord of Singal was very brave, but this kind of wrestling was obviously at a disadvantage - he turned around holding the blade, and the knife had almost smashed his palm.

Moreover, Tahir is over 50 years old after all, and his strength is inferior to that of a young man like Ikram.

"Whoosh!"

Just when Tahir was about to be crushed to the ground, a cold light flew out from the stage and flew across the venue with a clear sound of breaking wind.

"Ah... uh..."

The two who were struggling fell to the ground at the same time, but the screams came from Ikram.

Ikram had an Assassin throwing knife stuck out of his left eye—the same dagger from the Scorpion Brotherhood of Assassins that was up for auction.

This is the throwing knife shot by Ramon, and it shot accurately into Ikram's eye socket through a distance of more than 30 meters, and it was during the scuffle between two people. Such a technique is rare in the world.

Afterwards, Ramon's men in black rushed up to control the scene, and the assassin's throwing knife was sent back to the stage.

"I didn't expect you to help me..."

Tahir got up clutching his bleeding palm, took a few steps back, and turned to look at Ramon.

"I'm not helping you, Tahir, but this is my auction after all, and I must ensure everyone's safety..."

Holding a handkerchief, Ramon shook his head while wiping the blood-stained throwing knife: "Okay, the problem is solved now, and the auction continues! ... The last bidder was a distinguished guest from the second box, 120 million dinars for the first time!"

Ramon continued to shout the price as if nothing had happened. After such an episode happened and blood was seen, he still clearly remembered the previous progress...

"Wait...Ramon, what to do with that kid?"

Tahir stretched out his injured right hand, and a man in black was bandaging it.

Ramon's men had already dealt with the scene within half a minute.

Ikram is not dead, and the bleeding from his left eye is also being stopped, but he has been tied up and gagged.

"I can understand why Ikram came to make trouble at the auction, but I don't understand why he is making trouble for you, Tahir. But since he is making trouble for you, of course he is at your disposal. It's the rules..."

Ramon waved his hand and signaled his subordinates to hand Ikram to Tahir.

At this time, Ikram is a hot potato. Of course, such a smart person as Ramon will not ask for trouble.

Besides, Tahir was, at least in name, the caliph of the region and the lord of Sinjar.

Since he was attacked on his own territory, the attacker should of course be handed over to Tahir.

"Huh...Ramon, if that's the case, then I'll sell him to you as a slave...will you accept it?"

It seems that Tahir didn't want this hot potato to fall into his hands, so he sold him on the spot...

"No, no, no... Tahir, I am no longer in the slave business. Of course, if you are looking for a ransom broker, I have a lot of people! Well, the auction continues, please follow the order... Box 120 [-] million for the second time!"

Ramon obviously didn't intend to accept the move.

In order to ensure the safety of other people in the auction, Ramon could shoot Ikram with his own hands. This is a reasonable behavior, and it can be justified anywhere.

But he must not let Ikram fall into his hands as a slave-this is Bahaman's son, and Ramon is now nominally Bahaman's agent.

Tahir was attacked by Ikram on his own territory. According to Desha's revenge logic, he can indeed treat Ikram as a slave and sell it to anyone, no matter what status Ikram is.

But Ramon is different. Ramon is only a commoner of Singal in name. He naturally cannot buy the son of another caliph as a slave. Otherwise, it would be an insult to Bahaman. This insult is worse than murder. much.

He could only act as a ransom broker, letting Ikram be ransomed by Bahaman as a noble prisoner of war, and it was best not to do it himself-so he asked Tahir to find his men.

"Hmph... 120 million plus Ikram!"

Tahir didn't go back to the box either, and just stood there and shouted a new price.

The man in black who was bandaging his wound hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should hold up the sign...

Ramon curled his lips and sighed: "Okay, the guests in the third box bid 120 million dinars! 120 million for the first time!"

Seeing that his subordinates didn't know how to deal with it, Ramon simply offered Ikram a price of [-] dinars and continued to bid.

Fifty thousand dinars, this is a price that any male slave cannot reach. In fact, very few prisoners of war can reach such a high price—unless it is a nobleman above the duke.

Tahir's outcry was probably just to vent his sulking, but Ramon took advantage of the slope to get down the donkey, which made him feel uncomfortable.

So the auction continues.

Ikram was also taken to the backcourt by several men in black - he is now Tahir's asset, with a worth of [-] dinars, second only to the Noldor elf girl back then.

"130 million..."

A female voice sounded—Alina made another bid, and she was extremely calm as if nothing had happened.

At this time, a figure got out from the No. 28 box on the far side, and sneaked into the backcourt.

It was the box at the farthest corner, and there was no need to pass through any seats. No one should be able to see this person except Ramon on the stage.

Ramon did see it on stage, but he didn't say anything.

Because that figure is Li Ang.

Perhaps everyone thought that Li Ang should be outside the city of Tuoba now, but he had quietly come to Singal.

But Li Ang didn't actually come here to participate in this city lord auction. In fact, he came for another business - he wanted to sell the position of Bahad Khan.

The previous capture of Tuoba City did not bring much profit, and Li Ang was unwilling to rob the innocent people in the city, and besides, it would not be worthwhile if the city was destroyed too badly—it was not easy to sell.

Therefore, Li Ang distributed most of the gold and silver obtained from Cardan's warehouse to the soldiers in the army, so as to avoid any troubles when the army retreated.

——50 dinars, basically all of which were allocated by him as a reward, which was distributed according to the number of knights and military merits.

There were a total of three hundred knights participating in this army assembly - this refers to the number of knights under other lords, not the strength of troops.

Generally speaking, each knight brought eight to ten conscripts, and three hundred knights was almost 3000 horses.

Li Ang basically rewarded each knight with more than a thousand dinars.

One thousand dinars is actually a lot of wealth for an ordinary Sarleon knight.

Although they have been traveling long distances this month, they only fought one real battle in Tuoba City in the end, and it was an extremely easy battle. For them, Lord Li Ang's actions were indeed quite generous.

And the other proceeds, that is, Cardan's concubine and children, Li Ang gave to Lehman, or to Ulrik—that means a large ransom, which can basically be regarded as Li Ang's Using Lehman's hand to bribe Ulrik.

After all, Li Ang was the marshal, and the king must have realized that these gains actually came from Li Ang, which would allow Ulrik to remain silent about Li Ang's subsequent operations.

That is to say, this time Li Ang achieved the strategic goal of 'invading Toba City', the face of the Sarleon Kingdom must be fine, and he also took out all the proceeds of this war. none left...

Isn't this a waste of effort?

Of course not... The lord just wants more profits.

How could Mr. Li Ang do business at a loss?

Both Toba City and Bahad Khan's position are for sale, so Toba City cannot be destroyed or looted.

In addition, Li Ang can also share half of the proceeds from the auction of Eichkeman.

Ramon will get his agency share, which is [-]%.

In fact, what Ramon valued more was the fame he got because of it—he was not short of money, he wanted fame, and he wanted to use the fame gained from this auction to make some changes in his business and no longer get involved in the slave trade.

As for the remaining [-]%, it was a 'betrothal gift' to be handed over to Bahaman, in exchange for his daughter Luha and the legal right to rule.

This is a satisfactory result for all three parties. Since the fleet of Emperor Marius has already landed in Eichcoman, Bahaman could not defend Eichcomman, so at least he can get a lot of wealth in the short term and quickly Rebuild a strong army.

Where there is an army, there is everything. No matter who Aishikeman sells to, it is possible to get it back in the future-Bahman and his brother Gawan Khan both understand this truth.

Moreover, marrying his daughter to someone who can buy Eichkeman in the public auction is a good marriage for Bahaman-the Desha people would not ask their daughter if they would like to recruit a son-in-law Why, Sarah's father planned to marry her to a fat old man who had never bathed in his life.

Besides... Isn't it natural for the father-in-law to take back the territory that originally belonged to him from the son-in-law?
So for Bahaman, although he can only get [-]%, it is equivalent to the money he picked up. In fact, he is even full of gratitude to Li Ang...

It's just that his son Ikram is too young and too impulsive, and he hasn't learned to see the essence through the phenomenon.

Therefore, the lord intends to let Ikram see clearly what is the so-called 'honor'.

"Ikram, you had someone attack me before, shouldn't we settle the score?"

At this moment, Li Ang was standing in front of Ikram, looking at the one-eyed young man with bandaged eyes.

Ikram's eye sockets were still bleeding, but not much, and he was still awake.

It seems that Ramon's throwing knife didn't go deep, and it probably just destroyed Ikram's left eyeball, but didn't hurt his brain—this kind of strength made Li Ang think highly of Ramon again. .

"Hmph...Earl Leon? Kill or cut whatever you want! Do it!"

Ikram seems to be a tough guy, and he probably has a mentality of breaking the pot.

"You are Tahir's property now. Fifty thousand dinars are quite valuable. I don't intend to intentionally damage other people's property..."

Li Ang smiled, and this kind of stupefied youth is actually the best way to deal with it: "Ikram, have you ever thought about why your father Bahaman took Aishikman as Luha's dowry in the first place? Or ...Why did he give me the right to dispose of Ashcomman?"

"That's a cowardly decision! If it were me, I would definitely fight you to the death! Even if you die in battle, you must maintain the dignity of the family..."

Ikram gritted his teeth resentfully, and his attitude was quite brave.

"It's because you've always been so stupid that Bahaman was forced to make such a move... Ikram, do you still have the face to say that your father is cowardly?"

Li Ang sighed, feeling that this kid really isn't smart enough to use, so he could only speak more clearly: "Your eyes are really useless, and it doesn't matter if you're blind—you've been shot by Ramon, and you're still here! Didn't even realize the relationship between the Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood and Ramon..."

To be honest, in the auction house, as long as they are sitting in the box, most of them should be able to see that Ramon and the Scorpio Assassin Brothers are related...

Leaving aside the miraculous flying knife technique, simply auctioning off the significance of the assassin's flying knife is not something that ordinary people can do.

Tahir obviously understood, so he still followed the rules of the auction house even when his hand was injured;
Alina obviously noticed it too, so she even acted as if nothing had happened.

——No one wants to offend the Scorpio Assassins, especially those who are bidding on Eichkeman.
