The dawn of dawn dispelled the darkness, and the sky and the earth were brightened. Ahead is a valley, and in the distance you can see a village, simple and quaint. An old man drove a herd of goats to this direction, and Xia Lei stopped the car and waited for the goats to pass. In the passenger seat, Tang Yuyan already has an extra pistol in her hand to deal with sudden situations at any time.

"This is the former station of the White Rock Tribe, it's too quiet here, it's not normal. Tang Yuyan said a little nervously.

Xia Lei raised his eyes into the distance, and his gaze swept over the hillsides on the left and right. Soon the armed men hidden on the hillside on the left side, those armed men were wrapped in turbans, and the weapons were mostly old AK47s, and there were also RPG bazookas, and the number was about twenty.

Although the situation had been confirmed, Xia Lei still pretended to pick up the telescope and look at it, and then handed the telescope to Tang Yuyan, "There are people on the hillside, you see, is it the armed personnel of the Baishi tribe." ”

Tang Yuyan looked at it with a telescope, and her brows suddenly furrowed, "It's the armed personnel of the Baishi tribe, there are not many of them, it should be an outpost." Damn, why hasn't that guide come yet?"

Charley glanced up the hillside, and he saw that the tribesmen were sneaking quietly in this direction. This discovery made him nervous too. If there is a firefight, it is not a problem to kill these more than 20 tribal armed personnel, after all, they are not those special forces last night, and their combat quality is much lower, but this is people's territory, once the exchange of fire is equivalent to being the enemy of thousands of armed personnel of the Baishi tribe.

The old man who drove the goats seemed to notice something, and followed him off the road, driving his goats to the right side of the hill.

Just then, a man on horseback came into view.

The man on horseback wears a turban and a black, traditional Afghan-style robe. The horse under his crotch was a big white horse, very muscular, and galloping fast. Xia Lei's gaze moved to the face of the man on horseback, and he noticed that the other party had many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and his skin was very rough. It was a weather-beaten man, almost fifty years old.

"Is he the guide?" asked Charleigh.

Tang Yuyan said: "It should be him, let's go down." Then he said into the communicator: "The rest of the people stay in the car, and if the other party is not aggressive, you can't fire." ”

Xia Lei followed Tang Yuyan out of the car, and the man on horseback also stopped the white horse and jumped off the horse.

"What are you doing?" the Afghan man asked.

Tang Yuyan said in Pashto: "We have lost a few lambs, and we want to get them back. We are here waiting for our guide. ”

The Afghan man walked over to Tang Yuyan and Share, with a smile on his face, and said in Pashto: "I am your guide, my name is Muhammad Kabud, you can just call me Kabud." ”

Tang Yuyan shook hands with Kabud, "Fortunately, you're here, if you delay a little longer, the situation may get very bad." ”

"Are you talking about my people? No, they found out about you and let me know. Kabud learned a wolf howl against the hillside on his left.

The armed tribal men who were sneaking up the hillside immediately stood up and walked towards this side with their normal gait. They also carried their guns on their backs.

Brad said: "I already know what happened last night, you are really unlucky, you actually encountered an ambush by the Americans. But your fighting power is truly terrifying, and my people admire you. ”

Tang Yuyan just smiled faintly.

The Americans are not pleasing here. Here the Americans forcibly sell their liberal values, which are the most disgusting to the tribal elders. Different lands breed different races, different cultures, and the results of promoting liberal values in a land where religion is supreme can be imagined.

Xia Lei also completely relaxed, and he also shook hands with Kabud.

"My men and I will send you through our territory, and I will personally take you to the Bamiyan Valley, but ...... What will you give me in return?"

Tang Yuyan said: "You make an offer, you know our style, and we won't treat any friends badly." ”

Kabud smiled, "You Chinese are really happy, okay, a million dollars." ”

Tang Yuyan was stunned for a moment, "One million dollars ......"

"If you don't have cash, you can transfer money," Kabud said. ”

Tang Yuyan thought for a moment and said, "Wait, I'll discuss it with my friend first." ”

Although Xia Lei was next to him, he heard every word of the conversation between Kabud and Tang Yuyan, but both of them used Pashto, and he had just come into contact with Pashto, so he learned very little and couldn't understand it at all. Just when he was curious about what the two were talking about, Tang Yuyan took his hand and brought him to the side.

"What are you talking about?" asked Xia Lei.

"I was about to discuss this with you. Tang Yuyan said: "He wants a million dollars, and I don't have that much money on me." It will be very troublesome to contact the headquarters, and so much money will also need to go through several layers of approval, and after approval, you have to go to the intelligence station to get it...... We don't have time to delay, do you have any money?"

Indeed, no one would carry a million dollars in cash to carry out the task of rescuing hostages, but Xia Lei is a mobile vault, after winning a billion yuan from Gu Dingshan and He Jiaying last time, Shentu Tianyin opened an offshore account for him, and he also has a gold card from a Swiss bank, which can pay the money at any time.

Xia Lei smiled bitterly, "I have, but I want to ask clearly, do you still have it?"

"What are you talking about?" Tang Yuyan glanced at Xia Lei, "It's not that I borrowed money from you, this is a special case, and Elder Shi will always pay you back the money after you go back." Really, childish. ”

Xia Lei looked at Tang Yuyan speechlessly. casually, borrow a million dollars when you open your mouth, is this still petty?

Tang Yuyan returned to Brad and said, "Deal, but we will pay half first, and the remaining half will be paid when we come back." ”

"No problem. Brad said, "Come with me to the village first, you can pay there, you can rest and replenish your supplies." ”

Tang Yuyan and Xia Lei got into the car, and then drove to the village in the valley. Brad remounted his white horse and followed with his men.

"Yu Yan, isn't this guy from us, why do you still give him money?" Xia Lei said puzzled.

Tang Yuyan said: "He is not our person, just an acquaintance who has made a transaction, and he is a forced backup option." Each action has several options to deal with each situation. This Brad is a very prestigious person among the White Rock Tribe, and he can guarantee our passage through the White Rock Tribe's territory, but at a high cost. ”

"Isn't this a disguised request for money to buy a road?"

"It's their way of survival, there's no way. Tang Yuyan said: "If it weren't for the fact that he had a deal with us and had a little friendship, he would probably kidnap us and then ask for a ransom." They also grow opium poppies in exchange for weapons and ammunition. In order to survive, they can do anything. ”

"I have seen their poppy fields. Xia Lei's eyes moved to the window, and it was a large poppy field, and the poppies bloomed in the sun, bright in color, but exuding an evil atmosphere.

A few of the farmers looked up, but when they saw the tribe behind the cart, they went back to work.

The car entered the village, and a group of children chased and played around the car. A teenager shouted at Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan's car, "Merica, Merica!" Then, he raised his hand and gestured to a pistol position, "Bang!

This kid obviously thinks Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan are Americans.

"Get out of here!" a tribal militant yelled from the group of children.

A group of children scattered as birds and beasts, and the girls ran away without a trace.

Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan got out of the car, and the agents of the 101st Bureau in the two cars also got out of the car. They also have guns in their hands, and they are very vigilant and ready to respond to emergencies.

"Don't be nervous, we're not enemies. Brad said, "Come with me, I'm going to get that half a million dollars." ”

Xia Lei and Tang Yuyan followed Brad into a room. Brad pulled out a computer, as well as the money transfer device. This tribe is engaged in drug trading, and collecting money is already international, so there is no need to worry about not being able to transfer money.

Xia Lei transferred 500,000 US dollars to Brad's designated account, Brad was very happy, he hugged Xia Lei, and said with a smile: "Friend, do you need a woman? I can give you both, both virgins." ”

Xia Lei couldn't understand what he said, so he asked Tang Yuyan, "What did he say?"

"He said he was going to give you two goats, do you want them?"

Xia Lei shook his head, "What do I want goats for?" ”

Tang Yuyan shrugged at Brad, "He's gay, he doesn't need women." ”

Brad then let go of Xia Lei and stayed away, "I'll take you to rest, you have two hours, you can replenish water and food, and gasoline, and you can sleep." We set off two hours later. ”

"Let's get some hot food for us. Tang Yuyan said: "We are all hungry. ”

Brad smiled, "No problem, I'll have someone roast a whole sheep for you." I'll get ready on my side, and then we'll be able to go. ”

"Okay. Tang Yuyan said.

Xia Lei still didn't understand, but he didn't ask. He was worried about the special forces who had escaped, and seventeen people had died on the other side, so it was impossible to just settle the matter. This is Afghanistan, but it is also the territory of the American military, and this is fraught with concern. There is one more thing, that is, his father Xia Changhe, where is he?

Leaving Brad's room, several village women flocked to bring food and water. Tang Yuyan reached out to take the dough cake, but Xia Lei took the dough cake first.

"Where has your demeanor gone?" Tang Yuyan said dissatisfiedly.

Xia Lei didn't pay attention to her, but quickly made a perspective on the dough cake, and after confirming that there was no situation, he handed the dough to Tang Yuyan, "Forget it, give it to you, I'll wait to eat roast mutton." ”

Tang Yuyan shook Xia Lei's eyes, but there was no hint of anger in her eyes. From teaching each other kung fu to last night's battle, after going through so many things, her feelings for Xia Lei are also subtly changing. It's just that she didn't notice it herself.
