He didn't expect that the beautiful girl in front of him would know their names.

"What name did the old man of the mountain give you?"

"'Fidai'." The coachman replied.

Hearing the driver's answer, Cha Lun's heart chuckled, but there was no show on her face.

As for the history of the "robbery and killing sect", as a war general, she has learned a lot from the spy Xizuo.

The founder of "Hasassin" (named Hassan. Al-Sabah, who was born in Qom, Persia, was familiar with the teachings and teachings of Islam since he was a child, and was proficient in mathematics, astronomy, and other studies. In the early years of Hassan's debut, he was sent by the imam to Misir (Egypt) to preach and study, but because of his involvement in the court dispute, the eldest son of the emperor supported by Hassan lost power and was expelled from the country.

However, this defeat did not hit him, and Hassan returned to Persia, where he began to propagate his teachings and gather followers, and seized the fortress of Almat in central and western Persia, using it as a base to establish his assassination kingdom, known as the "Almut Fort Sheikh Dynasty". "Almat" means "eagle's nest" in Persian, which accurately expresses the dangerous terrain of this mountain fortress, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the word "sheikh" means "elder", "senior", "teacher", which is the origin of the name "old man in the mountain".

In addition to Almat, the Old Man of the Mountain also seized several strategic points in the surrounding area, and many Persians who were under the rule of the Seljuk dynasty of the Turks at the time were dissatisfied with the rule of the authorities and turned to the Old Man of the Mountain, and his power gradually grew. At the same time, the Old Man of the Mountain also trained a terrifying army of assassins, "Fidai", meaning "people who gave their lives", that is, death squads, to assassinate political opponents and strike them hard and accurately.

Not only did the powerful Seljuk dynasty have nothing to do with this old man in the mountains, but even the mighty Mongol Iron Cavalry took a lot of effort to capture the Eagle's Nest. The reason, in addition to the geographical location of the Eagle's Nest, is the unique method of training assassins by the old man in the mountain. A Western clergyman once told Cha Lun about this in detail. The old man of the mountain had created a magical paradise for his Pheidais, and he had numbed the young men he had chosen and sent them into it: "When these young men awoke from their psychedelic state, they will feel that they are surrounded by a delightful landscape that has been described. Everyone was surrounded by lovely maidens, singing and dancing, and caressing them with the most seductive kisses and hugs; Serve them food and wine, and let them indulge in the real milk and wine stream. At this point, they believe that they are indeed in Paradise, and they do not want to abandon the joy here. ”

After four or five days of living like this, they fell into a state of anesthesia again and were sent out of the garden. When they were brought before the old man and asked where they had been, they replied, 'In Paradise at the Pole, it is due to the gift of the Great King.' So in front of the frightened whole court, they told what they had seen. ”

"Then the chief took the opportunity to say to them: 'Our prophet assures that all who uphold his master will enter Paradise, and if you sincerely obey My commands, this happy life awaits you.' All the people were inspired by these words, and when they received the command of their master, they were very happy, and they bravely served him unto death. ”

On that occasion, someone wanted to poison her father Khan Kublai Khan, and Cha Lun was in charge of secretly investigating the matter, and one of her powerful subordinates once ran to the territory of the Khasasin faction, and was also fascinated by the people, and had a similar spring dream.

Speaking of spring dreams, we have to say that the things that brought about spring dreams are the origin of the "Hasassin" robbery and killing faction. Hasassin originally meant "cannabis user", a tool used by the old man in the mountains to anesthetize and control the fidai — a strong hallucinogen, and the main ingredient in the formula was rumored to be hashish, which is why "hassasin" became synonymous with the assassination group.

According to the visits of spies disguised as businessmen, the old man of the mountain, Hassan. Sabah died more than 100 years ago, but the title of the old man of the mountain has been passed down from generation to generation in his kingdom, and the name of the old man of the mountain has also changed for generations.

It's just that no matter how brave Fei Dayi is, no matter how powerful the poison and hidden weapons are, they can't compete with the iron cavalry and artillery of the Mongol army. Hulegu's army conquered Almut Fort. The Mongols used powerful artillery, smashed their fortresses, plundered their wealth, and burned down the precious library that had been run by this terrible sect for many years.

"Don't be afraid, honored guest, not all 'Hasasin' dare to admit their identity." The wine was almost half gone, and the mercenary took the wine in his left hand and whipped it in his right hand, "We'll be there in a little while." ”

The old mercenary shook his head happily, and Cha Lun felt the carriage shake with his head, "See, it's ahead." ”

By the time he arrived in the city, the bottles were completely empty, and the old mercenary seemed to have sobered up.

Out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the old mercenary, his voice was hoarse and trembling, but his eyes were silent, and he didn't reflect the lights of the city in the slightest. I can't tell if it's fear or an unfulfilled desire.

"Here." Then there was a light whistle.

The carriage stopped, Cha Lun got up, picked up his bag, closed the door, and was about to walk towards a house surrounded by a grove of trees, when suddenly his left hand was grabbed.

"That's my name." The mercenary reached out of the window and handed out a piece of parchment, "My name is Rahman. ”

The coachman's sudden movement made Cha Lun stunned for a moment, and the mercenary's hand was so strong that the brim of his hat was so low that people couldn't see his expression.

"Okay." Cha Lun thought for a while, and was polite, "I'll meet again." ”

The mercenary looked up and smiled at him, and Cha Lun realized that his arms, neck, and cheeks were full of scars that were not mentioned in his colorful autobiography.

A gust of wind blew out of the forest, there was a little smell of earth, walked for nearly half an hour to reach the forest, Cha Lun realized that this dome building is very small from a distance, but the actual scale is far more exaggerated than imagined, the radius should be more than two miles, the forest from a distance looks just a green fence around the house, in fact, it is a very complete plantation, a path winds into the depths, both sides are dotted with pavilion lights, and there is a stone bridge with a stream in the middle. At the end of the trail was a wooden door that could no longer be unruly.
