After pondering for a moment, Hassan finally spoke:

"Stephen, since you know the history of the Ilkhanate so well and know the history of the Middle Ages so well, you should know the relationship between the Assassins and the Ilkhanate. We will never stop fighting.

In the mid-13th century, during the Mongols' Western Expedition, we received an assassination mission. The target was Meng Ge, who had not yet become the Great Khan of Mongolia. However, the mission failed and we paid a heavy price.

After Meng Ge became the Great Khan, he sent Hulagu to lead the army to the west again. One of the purposes was to eliminate our Assassins. Hulagu established the Ilkhanate in Iran and Iraq in 1256. .

After the establishment of the Khanate, Hulagu once proposed that as long as the Assassin faction surrendered, the safety of its members could be guaranteed. Under huge military pressure, the old man in the mountains at that time led his troops to surrender and all laid down their weapons.

Under the leadership of the old man in the mountain, more than a hundred large and small castles of the Assassin faction surrendered one after another. After the Mongols disarmed them, they destroyed more than a hundred castles and left no one behind. .

The headquarters of our Assassin faction, Alamut, was razed to the ground by the Mongols, and all property was looted. Hulagu then ordered that all surrendered members of the Assassin faction be killed. .

All the old people in the mountains were killed, leaving no one alive! Hulagu also used the excuse of recruiting militiamen to kill all the Ismailis in Kushistan. The believers in other places did not escape the fate of being massacred crazily.

After Hulagu captured Baghdad in 1258, he ordered a massacre of the city. All 800,000 soldiers and civilians in Baghdad were massacred. The water of the Tigris River was dyed red. Our members who fled to Baghdad were massacred again.

After this series of tragic and **** crazy massacres, the Assassins, which had been established for more than 200 years, almost completely collapsed. The territory they had built for more than 200 years and the huge wealth they had accumulated all fell into the hands of the Mongols.

Coupled with the blows from other regimes and enemies, the Assassins have never recovered for hundreds of years. To this day, we cannot reproduce our former glory and can only hide in the background. in the dark! ”

Hearing this, Ye Tian nodded slightly and said:

"I know quite a bit about this period of history. Needless to say, the Assassins who were crazily massacred must regard the Ilkhanate as their life and death enemy"

Hassan nodded vigorously, then gritted his molars and said:

"Yes, after experiencing a series of **** massacres, our Assassin faction became unrelenting enemies with the Ilkhanate. After a period of recuperation, we launched retaliatory actions, **** for tat.

We not only assassinated the princes, nobles, ministers, and local officials of the Ilkhanate, but also attacked various caravans of all sizes in the Ilkhanate. As long as we can avenge ourselves, the Assassin assassins will do anything. Extremely.

It is a pity that after the massacre, the strength of the Assassin faction has been greatly reduced and cannot be compared with before. The threat to the Ilkhanate is also quite limited, so that many people think that we have completely collapsed.

Although we were unable to severely damage the Ilkhanate, we still achieved some results. Most of the Chinese antiques and artworks you just saw were obtained by robbing caravans during that period, especially the porcelain.

As one of the four major khanates of the Mongol Empire, the Ilkhanate has always maintained close contact with the Central Empire in the East. There are constant caravan exchanges, and various exquisite items from China are also continuously transported to the Ilkhanate.

Those caravans were the targets of our looting and massacre. In the process, we grabbed a lot of gold and silver treasures, fine porcelain, and other items from the East, and hid them secretly.

In addition, in the process of assassinating the princes, nobles, ministers, and local officials of Ilhan, we also gained something and grabbed a lot of valuable things, some of which were also hidden.

The history of the Ilkhanate is not long, less than a hundred years. After that, it split into many countries and attacked each other. The square seal you just mentioned was the one we used when the Ilkhanate fell. owned.

When we first grabbed those exquisite porcelain and other items, because they were difficult to cash in, and to avoid drawing attention to themselves and attracting the Mongolians’ mad pursuit, we scattered and hid those items.

As time goes by, many of the hidden porcelain and other items have disappeared, and the rest have slowly become antique relics, but we are not professionals and do not understand their value."

"Wow! Those top antiques and artworks from China turned out to be snatched from the Ilkhanate by you, and they have been hidden by you all this time. No wonder I haven't seen them before!"

Ye Tian exclaimed and secretly rejoiced at his good luck.

After the words fell, Hassan immediately continued:

"When I was in Berlin, when I heard the trading conditions you proposed, I thought of these hidden Chinese antiques and used them to trade in exchange for Assassin tokens.

After we went back, we consulted a lot of information and found some hidden Chinese antiques and art, and asked professionals to evaluate them, which are the ones you just saw.

Stephen, you can choose some Chinese antique artworks to trade for the pair of hidden swords of our Assassin sect. Of course, I hope this is a fair transaction of equal value."

Ye Tian nodded slightly, then said with a smile:

"You can rest assured, Hassan, that this antique art transaction between us must be a fair transaction between you and me. Didn't you also say that you have professionals evaluate the Chinese antique art.

You are well aware of the value of these two hidden swords. In this way, there will be no problems with the transaction. Later I will select my favorite Chinese antique artworks from the video materials. ”

"That would be great, Steven, how do you plan to conduct the transaction? In Portugal or another place? Should we bring those Chinese antiques? Or will you bring these two hidden swords?

If possible, we would like to take away these two hidden swords today, and then transport the Chinese antique artworks you selected, or transport them to the place you designated, to complete the transaction."

Hassan continued, his eyes filled with anticipation, and his whole body suddenly became more excited.

Ye Tian shook his head gently, then said with a smile:

"I'm very sorry, Hassan, you can't take away these two hidden swords before the transaction is completed. In the next period of time, I will tie them to my arms, and no one can even think about it. Take it away.

The exploration of the treasures of the Knights Templar has not been completed yet. I cannot leave Portugal for the time being, so I can only choose another transaction method. You take out those Chinese antiques and art and give them to me.

The transaction location can be in Tehran, Iran, or Hong Kong, China. Iran is your territory. It should not be difficult for you to complete this antique art transaction at Tehran Airport.

Hong Kong is a free port and the territory of us Chinese. With the energy of your Assassin faction, there should be no big problem in transporting a batch of Chinese antiques and art to Hong Kong, and our people will try their best to cooperate.

I hope the transaction location is Hong Kong. As long as you successfully transport those Chinese antiques and artworks to Hong Kong, I will send my people to contact you and send the top antique artwork appraisal experts to conduct appraisals.

As long as the Chinese antiques and artworks are authentic and authenticated, they can be traded. Next, our people will transport all the Chinese antiques and artworks directly to Beijing as soon as possible.

When all the Chinese antiques and artworks are shipped to Beijing and put in the vault, you can come to Portugal to find me, take these tokens of the Assassin sect, and complete this antique transaction between us.

Of course, to complete a heavyweight antique transaction in this way, the premise is that both parties to the transaction must trust each other. Hassan, I believe you also know something about me. I have never done anything that breaks my promise.

Because of the special nature of your Assassin sect, even I don’t want to provoke enemies like you, so you can rest assured that I will never make you an enemy just for the sake of these hidden swords."

After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.

Hassan was lost in thought and did not respond immediately. The middle-aged Arab was a little anxious, but did not refute.

After pondering for a moment, Hassan nodded and said:

"Okay, Steven, let's make the deal according to the method you said. I believe you won't break your promise. In that case, we will only become enemies.

The transaction location can be chosen in Hong Kong. We will find a way to transport those Chinese antiques and artworks to Hong Kong on a chartered flight as soon as possible and complete the antique transaction in Hong Kong.

After you complete the appraisal and transport those Chinese antiques and artworks to Beijing, I will come to this hotel again and take away these two hidden swords that belong to us.

Stephen, now you can choose your favorite Chinese antique artwork from the video, and then I will notify my staff to get them ready."

“Don’t worry, Hassan. To be honest, I like all these top-notch Chinese antiques in the video and want to add them all to my own collection.

Especially those Yuan blue and white porcelains. I am planning to build a private museum, and I just need these valuable and exquisite Yuan blue and white porcelains. Now that I have come across them, I certainly don’t want to miss them.

When I discovered the pair of hidden swords of your Assassin sect today, I also discovered many Arab-style medieval antique artifacts, each of which is a top-notch antique artifact of great value.

There are antiques from the Abbasid dynasty, various antiques from the Fatimid dynasty, the Ayyubid dynasty, and the Seljuq Empire and many other Arab dynasties.

Most of these antique cultural relics come from the palaces of major dynasties, and most of them are exquisite gold products. They are not only of high market value, but also of great historical research value.

I have a proposal to exchange the medieval Arabic antiques in my hands for the Chinese antiques you own. Of course, this is also a fair trade.

The scope of activities of your Assassins is mainly in the Arab region of the Middle East. Those medieval Arab antiques are obviously easier to cash in your hands.

To me, those Chinese antiques are more meaningful. It can be said that this is an art transaction that has the best of both worlds and is beneficial to both of us.

If you agree to this transaction method, to show your sincerity, you can take away some medieval Arab antiques today without leaving any pledge."

Hearing this, Hassan and his men rolled their eyes angrily.

No need to pledge, what a beautiful statement! Since you are so generous, why don't you give us the two hidden swords of the Assassin faction? That is the greatest sincerity!

While secretly complaining, Hassan and the others also had a look of excitement flashing in their eyes.

After a moment of pause, Hassan nodded and said:

"Steven, the transaction method you mentioned is very interesting. Yes, it is beneficial to both of us, but it is best for us to take a look at those medieval Arab antiques first, and then talk about the transaction."

"Okay, Hassan, you will soon see the antique artifacts from the major Arab dynasties in the Middle Ages"

Ye Tian nodded in agreement, and then ordered Jason and the others to move the boxes that were dug out of the ground four mornings ago.

More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The deal has been negotiated. Hassan and the others stood up and prepared to leave. They left the hotel and went back to prepare for the next transaction.

When shaking hands and saying goodbye, Ye Tian smiled and said to Hassan:

"Hassan, I have something to remind you. During this period of time, please restrain your people and not start operations in Portugal. I have invited some top collectors to come to Tomar, many of whom are from the Arab region. .

These top collectors are all my old friends and financial backers of our company. They are here to attend my private auction. I don’t want anything to happen to them during this trip to Portugal, which will affect me. Business.

When they leave Tomar and return to their respective countries and territories, what you do has nothing to do with me. No matter how hard you fight, I will turn a blind eye. I hope you can understand and cooperate with this matter. I don’t want to start a war with you."

Hassan took a deep look at Ye Tian, ​​then nodded with a smile and said:

"Okay, Steven, I promise you, no matter what business we receive, we will not start operations in Portugal in the near future, and I will restrain my people"

After the two sides chatted for a few more words, Hassan and the others said goodbye and walked out of the luxurious suite.
