The Assasin emissary was named Nassin Jabalitaem, one of the five imams under Jalal-Din Hassan. Amin only learned his basic information from the intelligence of the National Security Division. Specifically, I have to ask Tuwugedi.

"This man is very good at disguise. The disciples he taught were also known for their camouflage skills. Tuwugedi stood behind Amin, bending over and pressing against Amin's ear.

That's another benefit of Tuugdi!

Born in the Assasin sect, he knows a lot more about it than others. Now with his reminder, Amin also knows how to maximize the benefits at the negotiation table.

After listening to Da Yuan's conditions, Nasin Jabalitaem frowned and said, "Since the day our sect was founded, it has been self-contained as the Assasin sect. Now Dayuan wants us to abandon the sect we believe in and convert to Puritanism, which is really difficult for strong people! ”。

In addition, Naxing also had disagreements over the rule of the Great Yuan over the Assasin territory.

Because the Great Yuan wanted complete rule, once the Assasin faction submitted, then the land of Alamut would be included in the administrative division of Thorn County and Shilcania County. The current Grand Imam of the Assasin sect, Jalaral-uddin Hassan, moved to Maru. All the patriarchs and followers who originally belonged to the Assasin sect were also registered and became the people of Dayuan.

Of course, those who are excellent can enter the Department of Affairs and the Department of National Security, and become Dayuan's intelligence officers.

In this way, the entire lineage of the Assasin sect was wiped out.

Jalaldin Hassan was reluctant to accept this.

After all, surrendering to Dayuan is just a last resort. The real purpose is to preserve the legacy of the Assasins. Thus, Naxing, on behalf of Jalal-Din Hassan, proposed that Alam could accept the Great Yuan's eunuchs to collect taxes in their domains. But for the rule of the cultists, Dayuan cannot interfere.

Such a surrender, Amin could not agree.

So the first day of negotiations ended unhappily.

"Amin, how are you talking?" As soon as Amin returned to his residence, the commander of the local garrison, Slimali, came over and asked.

Although the military rank and the official position are not one, the Great Yuan is still martial, and the generals are generally admirable. Although Amin was a high-ranking official in the former dynasty, he was only a temporary envoy errand at the moment. In the face of Slimali, his posture is also extraordinarily modest.

"Alam still wants to be the king of the mountains!" , Amin smiled sarcastically.

"I'll just say that they are a group of anti-bone cubs, how can they really surrender?" , Slimali prefers to use force to level Alamte. This was not only for military merit, but also to speed up the progress of the Western Expedition.

"But peace talks have just begun, and it's normal for them to be tougher. Let's talk about it further down to know if they are sincere or false! ", Amin reassured.

Slimali also knows that peace talks will not be achieved in a short period of time. After a few polite words, he went back to the barracks.

And in a mountain valley in the Alborz Mountains, a tall stone town stands majestically.

This is the Alamt, the stronghold of the Assasins.

Except for the valley, which is relatively open and flat, the rest of the place is mostly rugged. There is a north-south path leading to the bottom of the mountain, but it is also difficult to walk. If you want to start a large-scale war here, you can't do it at all.

The great imams of the Assasin sect also ruled Alamut for a hundred years by virtue of this dangerous terrain.

But now this impregnable fortress is in shambles.

Because the surrounding mountains are all gray and black. It was the ashes of the fire, and the walls of the city of Alamut were covered with a layer of ash. Even worse than that, the nearby water source was also contaminated.

But Dayuan deliberately put feces at the source of the river every day!

Because the terrain of the canyon is relatively gentle, feces accumulate here. Even if Alamut mobilized the entire city to clean up, it would not be able to stop the steady stream of feces upstream. The whole river is getting more and more smelly.

Now the city is fed by a few mountain springs. It's not enough to drink every day, let alone do anything else. So the whole city was short of water, and Alamut was cornered.

"Imam, drink your saliva!" In the palace of Alamut, the waiter brought a glass of water and invited Hassan, whose lips were dry, to drink.

"Take it! I'm not thirsty yet! Hassan swallowed his saliva, still resisting the temptation of clear water.

"But Imam, you haven't even drunk a sip of water today!" In order to encourage his followers to save water, Hassan led by example, not drinking if he can. It wasn't until I couldn't bear it anymore that I took a sip.

"Let's leave it alone! By the way, does Nassin have a message back? Hasan deliberately asked out loud without looking at the clear water.

The peace talks held by Deputy Na Xing are a matter of life and death for Alamut, and he cannot be left unconcerned.

When the waiter heard this, he immediately said, "Elder Naxing sent a message yesterday that the envoy of the Great Yuan has arrived in Shilcania. ”。

When Hassan heard this, he felt a little irritable in his heart. After all, there are no advantages to Alamut in this peace talks. It's not easy to keep the power in your hands. It's hard to get used to the feeling of putting life and death in the hands of someone else.

The waiter, too, saw Hassan's uneasiness, and spoke up; "Do you want to let Maru's people do it?"

Assasin ambushed his men in Malu and assassinated Lee Seung-ji when the situation was extremely dangerous. Of course, this goal will not be easy to achieve. But in the absence of any way, the net can only be broken.

But for now, it's better to use this method with caution.

He shook his head and refused: "You must not do it unless you have to." ”。

The waiter could only retreat unwillingly.

The people I met on the road all had chapped lips. Some of them are vain, but they are hungry. Ever since the closure of the Great Yuan, Alamut has been in isolation from the rest of the world. Especially as the Great Yuan gained more control over the land of West Persia, it was even more difficult for Alamut to obtain sufficient supplies from the outside world.

This also makes the whole city run out of food after the long winter.

And this blockade began with the end of the Persian War, and slowly, more and more intensified. It's not that Hassan didn't think about fighting back, but it was difficult for the killers sent out to get down the mountain.

Because Da Yuan issued a military order!

In the territory of Alamut, not a single person is allowed to descend the mountain. Even flies can't be spared. That's why the Assasin faction was forced to have no choice but to make peace.

The next day, Amin continued to negotiate peace talks with Naxing. Faced with the other party's refusal to let go of the ruling power, Amin also began to doubt the other party's sincerity.

After discussing with Slimali, he narrowed the encirclement of Alamut. As for Na Xing, he will ignore it for the time being.

Three days later, outside a fortress called Kantz in Alamut.

The Great Yuan army surrounded it and neither attacked nor retreated.
