After driving for a long time, the pickup truck finally stopped at the door of a large compound similar to a manor, and before the elf and Hou Rui got out of the car, there were already 7-8 armed men wearing military uniforms and jackets and carrying AK47s. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They were yelling something out of their mouths, and they kept banging on the windows of the pickup trucks with the muzzles of their AKs.

"Don't resist, put your weapons in the car. Seeing Hou Rui's somewhat guarded posture, the elf hurriedly instructed, and he took off all the weapons he was wearing and threw them into the pickup car. Hou Rui hurriedly did the same, and after the two of them disarmed, a black-bearded little leader searched his body strictly, and then motioned for Hou Rui and the two to go in with him.

As soon as he entered the manor compound, Hou Rui was taken aback, this was not a well-trained army, but a large area of tents, and in and out were some old, weak, women and children non-combatants.

"What is this?" asked Hou Rui as he walked.

"A human shield against American aircraft. Blackbeard, who led the way, actually understood English, but his answer startled Hou Rui.

The elf glanced at Hou Rui viciously, so that Hou Rui instantly understood that he had talked too much, so Hou Rui tightly controlled his mouth in the following journey.

Walking through the manor compound and entering a two-story house in the center, Hou Rui immediately felt that he had come to another world, with exquisite cashmere carpets under his feet, large oil paintings hanging on the walls, and crystal chandeliers above his head.

"Come this way. Blackbeard continued to lead the way, and he led Hou Rui and the others straight to the basement, and then drilled a tunnel dozens of meters long, which brought the two to their final destination, a dimly lit basement covered in sheepskin, at the end of the room, in front of a large tapestry printed with Arabic, an old man with a white beard was enjoying a hookah.

Out of habit, of course, it is also the cruel training of Island Zero, Hou Rui first looks for a possible exit, but unfortunately, in this basement, in addition to the road when he came in, there are only two vents that are less than the size of a human head, and it is estimated that if you don't agree with each other, you definitely don't have to think about escaping, the only way is to kill all the way out!

Then Hou Rui went to quietly observe the level of armament in the room. The first thing he saw was the two big men with guns behind the white-bearded old man, then the black-bearded little leader who had retreated behind the two, and of course the AK rifle that the old man lay flat on his knees.

Unlike the nervous Hou Rui, the elf seemed very relaxed after entering the basement, she first saluted the old man, and then retreated behind Hou Rui, looking well-behaved, and quietly motioned for Hou Rui to sit down on the sheepskin.

As soon as Hou Rui's buttocks touched the sheepskin, the old man opposite put down the hookah in his hand: "You can call me Elder Abu Abik." ”

“#￥￥%…… &......*" The same sentence was heard in Hou Rui's ears, but the elf who was sitting in the back and only half a body away from Hou Rui immediately translated it, which was to help Hou Rui not make him make a fool of him.

"Hmm...... Greetings, Dear Elder Abu Abik. Hou Rui stiffened his head and began to prepare for flickering. The elf acted as a translator again, but then neither of them expected that the dead old man would say a word and be silent, but a middle-aged man in a suit came out of the curtain on the side and sat next to the old man.

"I'm Ram Abic, I heard you need help?" said the middle-aged man by name in fluent English.

Before Hou Rui answered, he first took a closer look at this guy, he was wearing a hand-cut light gray three-piece suit, the shirt must be custom-made from the neckline, and the tie was also a very classic black and white diamond pattern. Looking at this guy's face, the medium-length curly hair is meticulously combed back, the chin position only has a light beard instead of a beard, and finally a pair of bright brown eyes, at this moment, the eyes of the owner looking at Hou Rui are full of vigilance and contempt.

What particularly caught Hou Rui's attention was that this guy didn't look at the old man again since he sat down, and the old man sitting in the back didn't show any dissatisfaction, but continued to smoke the hookah, looking leisurely. All these signs together indicate that this is a man with modern education, full of self-confidence, and a high status in the clan and a lot of trust by the clan elders.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Ram. That's right, we're here to ask for help. After quickly analyzing and positioning the middle-aged people, Hou Rui began to introduce the conversation to the main topic.

"Tell me your name first. ”

"My name is Douglas. Hou Rui casually made up a pseudonym. Since the nickname is Wild Dog, it makes sense to add a Russ after Doug.

"Mr. Douglas, who are you sitting here representing? Americans, British, Russians, contractors, or governments?"

"We only represent ourselves. Probably afraid that there would be a problem with Hou Rui's response, the elf answered the question before Hou Rui this time.

Ram glanced at the elf lightly, then turned his gaze back to Hou Rui, as if waiting for Hou Rui to confirm the answer.

"We only represent ourselves. Seeing this, Hou Rui could only repeat helplessly.

"And what are you going to trade for the help of the Great Elder Abu?"

"Dollars, weapons, and if needed, we can provide specialized military advisers to train your militia. Hou Rui thought for a while, and began to run the train with his mouth full, at this time Hou Rui missed the dead beard very much, if he hadn't died, it was estimated that the negotiation process would have been much smoother.

"Hahaha, Mr. Douglas, you're really generous, but I can't believe you. Ram laughed and shook his head.

"In the land of Elder Abu, I don't make any promises, but I value my life very much. In the face of the other party's suspicion, Hou Rui racked his brains to persuade.

"I'm willing to believe you on this, tell me, what specific help do you need?" Hou Rui's words finally touched Ram and made him put away the smile on his face.

"We need Elder Abu's warriors to carry out a plan. ”

"How many people are needed, and who are they targeted?"

"Mei ......" Hou Rui was just about to tell the truth, but the elf sitting in the back snatched the conversation again: "It is a government army trained by American advisers, and the number is about 20." ”

"A woman should not interrupt a man's conversation, and if it is not polite in this way, I will cut out your tongue with my own hands. Ram's face changed, as if he had been insulted by some great insult, and he stared at the elf viciously, it seemed that the concept of male superiority and inferiority had been completely integrated into Ram's soul, and the elf's interjection made him doubly angry.

"Forgive my companion's ignorance, Mr. Ram, and I can promise she won't be interjecting. Hou Rui hurriedly made peace, although the elf was sprayed by Ram, Hou Rui's heart was still very dark, but in case everyone really got into trouble, it was not a situation that Hou Rui wanted to see.

Besides, from another point of view, Hou Rui also understood her intention from what the elf just said, to put it simply, she wanted to hide some information in the negotiation, in order to make Ram underestimate the strength of the escort team, in short, to pull Ram's gang into the big pit of the mission first.

In order to match Hou Rui's words, the elf also made a well-behaved gesture with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and also moved his position back, as if he was afraid of angering Ram.

In the middle of the ring, Ram finally lost his temper, and he re-introduced the conversation to the topic: "It's not a problem to deal with more than 20 government soldiers, but I need to know, what is your ultimate goal?"

"It's to get something. ”

"What is it? gold, high-tech weapons, or a lot of drugs?" Ram, who was very strong, did not wait for Rui's reply, and announced directly, "But whatever it is, after it is done, half of it will be owned by Elder Abu." ”

Hou Rui understands very well that the other party's request is impossible, the entire group, whether it is an elf or anyone, will not trade their own lives, two truckloads of cultural relics will be given to the local tribe, then it is estimated that the organization will directly activate everyone's chips, and then send others to take over the task.

"I'm afraid this won't work, but we can compensate Elder Abu in other ways. Hou Rui said stiffly.

"This is an insult, and you still want to get Elder Abu's help like this?" Ram was angry, but Hou Rui knew that this was just a gesture to continue to ask for a high price.

"We can provide 500 AK rifles, 100 rocket launchers to the clan. ”

"No, you have to divide half of the goods. ”

"We can take your commanders overseas for specialized training. ”

"No, it has to be half. ”

"We send you two armored vehicles. Hou Rui gritted his teeth and shouted out the price, he also knew that he had no choice in this negotiation, so he began to run the train with his mouth full, anyway, after completing the task, Hou Rui planned to pat his ass and disappear, armored car or something, Ram, you can dream of it!

"This kind of bargaining is like a stupid woman in the market, I'm saying it again, we want, one, half!" Damn Ram just wouldn't let go, looking like he was going to wait for them.

For a while, the talks reached an impasse, and when the triumphant Ram looked down at Hou Rui, waiting for him to finally give in, Hou Rui's mind was spinning rapidly, and he kept recalling in his mind about the current political situation in Afghanistan, about the distribution of forces in the Azabad region, and about the Tajik tribe, trying to find a breakthrough.
