Riding and Slashing

The sound of weapons rubbing against leather scabbards could be heard in the room.

"Go away! There's no fire here!"

There were shouts and curses from inside through the door.

"Open the door! Otherwise, there will be a fire here..."

After Li Ang finished speaking, he took a step back, and Klose raised his gauntlet sensiblely and stepped forward to replace his previous position, standing in front of the door.

The door opened, and a large puff of white smoke gushed out—the house was so smoky that it was almost impossible to see people.

There are more than a dozen smoking guns inside...

"Who the hell are you guys?"

The Dexia who opened the door stared vigilantly at a group of tall and strong men outside.

"Emil Xerxes, I plan to negotiate a big deal with you..."

"If that's the case...then you have to return at least half of the money to me, Lord Li Ang..."

"Bahad Khan? As far as I know, there should be only one title..."

Emile Xerxes stared into Li Ang's eyes for a long time, and finally held Li Ang's hand: "Deal!"

Li Ang smiled: "It's still the same sentence, I only want things with a total amount of no less than 200 million dinars—that is, I will take away materials worth 400 million dinars in total."

"Let me introduce to you... This is Miss Alina, the envoy of Emperor Marius. This is Emir Xerxes, one of the Bahad Khans of D'Shar..."

Li Ang held the hand of Emir Xerxes, and lowered his voice a little: "Emir Xerxes Khan, I know that the title of 'Bahad Khan' needs to be recognized by the herdsmen of the Holy Mountain and the leaders of various tribes—if If you don't really get this title, then even if you occupy Toba City, you will only be regarded as a rebel army, just like the rebel army like Saravan Sheikh!"

Li Ang smiled and said to Emile Xerxes: "You can think about it slowly, as long as the total value is not less than 200 million dinars - after all, Toba City is the capital, and it can't be compared to the price of Eichkoman anyway. Low."

Li Ang spread his hands and gestured to both sides: "I think this is good for everyone, isn't it? I can also get your support because of this, so I won't be a lone army."

Afterwards, Ikram turned his head and leaned down to Li Ang: "Master Li Ang, Luha represents the legal right of rule of Aishikeman, and I should not express any opinions on it. But I still hope that you will bring her Li Dexia territory, so that she can choose her future life according to her own wishes."

Li Ang turned to look at Ikram.

To be precise, it was Li Ang who got Julia in touch with Siyuan City, and then Emperor Marius sent Alina—by the way, he also canceled the crime of murdering Julia's family. The heresy of the Snake Worship Cult is not considered a crime, but meritorious.

Alina squeezed Li Ang's fingertips, but shook her head to deny this so-called favor: "Your business is getting bigger and bigger..."

"Then let Ikram swear allegiance to the Bacchus Empire and make him the lord of Ashcomman. As for Luha...Ikram, what do you think should be done? By the way, Miss Alina is Mario The emperor's daughter is the true heir to the empire."

Emil Xerxes looked a little unconvinced.

Alina was sitting in Li Ang's 001 room at this time, and there were two guards standing beside her, a man and a woman.

Bridget seemed to recognize it. Although he and Li Ang only met once in Toba City, and the two sides hadn't even spoken to each other, Bridget's memory was obviously very good.

Li Ang directly broke the plan of the Bacchus Empire.

In fact, Arina was recruited by Li Ang.

Li Ang spread his hand towards Alina.

Alina smiled as a joke.

Li Ang glanced at Alina with a smile.

Alina was stunned, and then put on a smile again: "Stop joking... let's get down to business, Miss Luha, what do you think I should do?"

"It's me...you two, come upstairs with me, I'll take you to find Alina...and, I can let you get Toba City!"

This is the oath of allegiance to the Bacchus Empire for the past 20 years. Emperor Marius has always had only one requirement for the lord - to let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

"No, no, from today, there are two Bahad Khans, one is Kadan, and the other is Emir Xerxes Khan—they will divide Desha equally from now on."

"Gold and silver, horses, medicines, minerals, and even population can be used as prices... As I said, I am a kind businessman, as long as the conditions are right and I can bring them back to my territory, then anything is fine."

"Leon? It's you!"

Aristocratic maids usually marry off with the hostess, which is indeed a reasonable solution.

Alina raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face.

The expression on Alina's face became a little weird.

After Li Ang finished speaking, he backed away again, the thick smoke was too choking...

Seeing Li Ang open the door and come in, Alina stood up: "Earl Li Ang, we meet again..."

Alina's support is quite professional, this clever girl has fully understood Li Ang's intentions.

The woman was a short-haired girl, Julia, a friend Lisa Dilan had made when she rescued Anson before.

"What are you going to do?"

Afterwards, she saw two strangers behind Li Ang who were being watched by a group of tough men.

Li Ang stretched out his hand to introduce.

That's true, if Li Ang took Luha away, then Alina's auction result would be less.

"Everyone is a sensible person, so I'll just make a long story short...there is actually no conflict between the three of us—I'm not interested in De'xia's territory, but I've worked hard to send tens of thousands of troops, so I definitely can't go back empty-handed ;Miss Alina got Eichkoman, but she is alone and needs support; and Emil Xerxes, if you want to fight against Cardan, you also need help..."

"Or you can take Luha to Boshi City, I have no objection..."

Brigitte nodded, of course he knew, after all, he managed to escape from Toba City...

And the man is a one-eyed man, that is Ikram, his injured left eye has been removed by Ansen, and it is wrapped with thick gauze obliquely at this time, people who are not particularly familiar may not recognize him.

The territory formed by the connection of Toba City and Aishikman is actually the best place in the center of Desha, and the holy mountain Ghazi is also in this area.

"Of course it has something to do with it—the Emir Khan needs the support of the Bacchus Empire. If the city of Toba is only transferred, then an isolated city may be difficult to deal with Kadan's army... I am a kind businessman, and I always do business. If I want to provide some after-sales service, I must at least ensure that my customers have no worries..."

"That's my business, anyway, I can do it—and I can arrange it after the matter is settled... You just say whether you want the real Bahad Khan position?"

Alina pulled out the sword at her waist and placed it on Ikram's shoulder: "On behalf of His Majesty Marius, in the name of the Emperor of the Bacchus Empire, I accept Ikram's allegiance! From now on, you will become the lord of the Bacchus Empire , I hope you can let the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"Don't try to fool me, Alina. I know that the [-] mu of land will return to the Bacchus Empire in less than half a year. Emperor Marius has taken a lot of horses from the territory of Desia. Presumably, the newly formed cavalry army now has a lot of horses. Have you started training? Will we attack Sava River Castle in summer?"

……

That sword is still Marius' sword—the sword of the orator.

"You sold the city of Toba to His Excellency Emil Xerxes...what does this matter have to do with me?"

After finishing speaking, Li Ang smiled and stretched out his hand to Emile Xerxes: "Is it a deal?"

Li Ang paused, giving them a little time to think, and then said: "So, I plan to give up the city of Toba to Amir Xerxes Khan - of course, you have to give me enough compensation, I Guarantee that Toba City is intact at this time, and I will not even commit any crimes to the people in the city. Brigitte should know that Toba City is now completely under the control of my army."

"Yes, come with me."

Emile Xerxes thought for a while, gritted his teeth: "No problem!"

Li Ang smiled, took off his mask, and walked straight to the corridor.

"So, what are you going to make me pay? I mean... Toba City."

"Then the deal is settled. I have another thing I want to sell..."

Alina sighed: "Fortunately, the Sava River Fort is not your territory... Lord Li Ang, to be honest, you should really join the Bacchus Empire, and you will definitely become the next emperor."

"Forget it...you can get me some horses, just express it..."

Brigitte was a little skeptical, but he was interrupted by Emile Xerxes before he finished speaking: "You are Marshal Leon of the Sarleon Kingdom? You just said that you know Alina... and that you can get me the city of Toba? "

"Oh? Looks like I was being rude..."

"Your Majesty paid for it this time, Mr. Li Ang, one hundred thousand acres of land."

Alina spoke half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Both His Majesty and my father did intend to do so...but the problem is that my brother doesn't think so. He doesn't want his marriage to become a political transaction."

A smile appeared on Ikram's face: "Thank you, my lord, I know you will keep your promise. After all... I am the most suitable hostage."

Li Ang spoke frankly, as if he was selling carrots.

It is true that the Bacchus Empire got Eichcomman, but it is also an isolated city, and as an outsider, it will take a long time to really implement the rule. The existence of the Emir as an ally can also guarantee the safety of Eichcomman .

Only Bridget was frowning and thinking. He probably felt that Li Ang had some conspiracy, but he couldn't tell.

Amir Xerxes is obviously willing to reach a cooperation, and he has already started to ask the price.

Alina smiled wryly, then turned her head to look at the one-eyed man next to her: "Ikram doesn't want his sister to be a political victim either... To be honest, I don't want to either. Women are always treated as barter, it's not fair... ..."

After sending Emile Xerxes back to the fourth floor, Li Ang stretched out his hand to Alina: "Remember to tell Emperor Marius that he owes me another favor."

In fact, this is probably the result that Amir Xerxes wanted most - without becoming a vassal or puppet of any country, and without losing his own dignity and status, he could get the title of Bahad Khan and the capital of Toba City .

So Amir Xerxes nodded: "As long as I don't make me a vassal of other countries, I can talk about anything."

A goddaughter is also a daughter. Mario indeed regarded Alina as his heir, and it was very obvious that he made Alina his representative over and over again.

Li Ang looked at Ekram, nodded and promised: "In fact, Luha is just a name, and no one will take the dowry seriously—let Luha claim to be Arina's maid, and just pass the dowry to Alina. Yes. I will take Luha to Changhe Town and keep her away from politics, maybe she will find a better life there. Don’t worry, I’m not taking her as a hostage.”

"I am willing to give up everything I have ever done, to serve the Bacchus Empire from now on, and swear to protect Miss Alina for the rest of my life, and to offer my sword and blood to the Bacchus Empire and Miss Alina! If I break this oath, the gods will punish me! "

The price Li Ang proposed was not outrageous, and this deal was indeed kind.

This is not an after-sales service, this is a pre-sales service - how could Emile Xerxes buy Toba City if he could not guarantee his safety?
Let Eichcomman be the reinforcement of Amir Xerxes so that he can hold the city of Toba and become the 'Bahad Khan' in the name of the ruler of the capital - so that the Desha is really divided into two parts up.

"very good……"

Li Ang raised the value of the goods in his hands again: "I can make you a real Bahad Khan! Of course, this requires a lot of expenses..."

"So... what do I get out of it?"

Even though Cardan is still stronger than Emil Xerxes, but Cardan lost these fertile lands and lost control of the holy mountain, Emil Xerxes is completely able to fight against it.

"I will share part of the proceeds with you. In addition, you will also get the support of Amir Xerxes the Great Khan, Alina——only in this way can the Bacchus Empire truly rule Eichcoman, and you will help each other , to make Kadan helpless."

Li Ang stood at the door, fanning away the thick smoke with a wave of his hand: "Ahem...but your room doesn't seem suitable for business talks at all..."

"Didn't you come here on behalf of your brother Ales? Wouldn't it be enough to let him marry Luha? They are a good match, and they are a good match."

Ikram thought for a few seconds, then fell to his knees, his forehead heavily touching the ground at Alina's feet.

"What's so good about being an emperor, it's so tiring. I just want to be an unfettered lord... the dictatorial kind."

Li Ang smiled approvingly at Alina and explained seriously.

"You want to harm us? This is Singal..."

This is true, this matter has not been negotiated yet, of course the implementation method will not be revealed.

Li Ang winked at Alina, and then put on a serious expression.

Li Ang shook his head: "I think you should become the Queen of the Bacchus Empire——I guess His Majesty Marius thinks so too."

Of course Alina can't take Luha away, otherwise she won't be able to explain to her brother Ales, and this will cause Ikram to worry - if Luha goes to the territory of Bacchus, then this is really a Control Ikram with Luha as a hostage.

If Ikram will become the acting lord of Eichkoman, then Luha will definitely face many dangers, and Alina herself is a woman, so she obviously doesn't want to do such a thing.

On the contrary, let Li Ang take Luha away, which can not only guarantee Ikram's loyalty, but also avoid the trouble of those who covet Ashkoman to find Luha.

"Okay, I'll give you all the horses I got from Emile Xerxes...Emperor Marius once said that I'm richer than him now, so I should try to bring people a better life—" —The people of Bacchus need horses to vaccinate against the Red Death, and I do offer to help with that."

Li Ang looked into Alina's eyes seriously and said.
