Chapter 42: A Day Trip

Maybe he was really tired, Chen Xu slept until noon without being alert, and when he woke up suddenly, the wall clock on the wall was already more than one o'clock in the afternoon.

When he walked out of the room barefoot, he saw Zhong Siyang sitting on the fabric carpet in the living room, breathing evenly like a sculpture. The earthy walls are covered with tapestries, and the dark brown cabinets are placed against the roots of the walls, forming a cozy portrait, except for the white gauze curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows, which hover in the breeze.

"Have you delivered your clothes?" Seeing that the big man had already put on a gray suit, his huge body and uniform looked majestic and imposing.

Zhong Siyang obviously hasn't forgiven the joke on the plane before, he just glanced at Chen Xu, who yawned and pulled out his crotch with a big mouth, turned his head and whispered: "Your suit is hanging on the doorknob, it's better to put it on quickly, it's time for us to leave for the arms market." ”

"There's no urgency, the arms black market is just a small warm-up in the afternoon, and the big deals won't really start until the evening."

Chen Xu glanced back at the white casual suit hanging on his door, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "You meditate here and didn't sleep in the morning?" ”

"Meditation is also rest, and in such an unfamiliar place, it is better to have someone awake." Zhong Siyang responded without being salty or light, he is a person who practices martial arts, and his acquired vigilance is no worse than that of ordinary veterans. Although he sulked stubbornly, he did not dare to relax his safety.

Then Chen Xu took another bath, arms dealers are not easy to deal with, he must be more energetic. Putting on a white suit, leather shoes, a watch, and a hairpaste to fix his hairstyle, he stuck the pistol he had captured the previous night at his waist and walked out of the room.

Chen Xu spread out his two palms, on which were the other two pistols, and handed them to Zhong Siyang: "Choose a gun to defend yourself!" No matter how high the martial arts are, they are afraid of kitchen knives, not to mention that this is the era of guns. ”

"I've got this enough!" Zhong Siyang opened his shirt, revealing the Damascus scimitar on his waist, when Chen Xu was sleeping, this guy didn't know where to get a piece of hard canvas, and sewed a canvas scabbard by himself, the Uzi steel scimitar was inserted in it at this time and fixed with a curved iron buckle, as long as the lock was unfastened, it could be pulled out at any time.

"You don't know the benefits until you use the gun, especially when you hit a distant target." Chen Xu tried hard to recommend that big men learn to use guns, and people like him who practiced martial arts were so confident in their skills that they disdained to use such gunpowder weapons.

"I haven't used a gun, and I won't use it." The big man shook his head and spread out his fan-sized palm to show helplessness.

"These are all minor problems, I'll teach you now, there's no reason why you don't understand the working principle of a gun if you're engaged in machining." After speaking, Chen Xu disassembled the pistol into parts on the coffee table in front of Zhong Siyang, and then reassembled the pistol, and finally explained how to open the insurance, aim, pull the trigger and a series of actions.

Zhong Siyang's big hand grabbed this kind of small pistol for self-defense, shook his head and said: "This kind of gun is too small to use, it is not as good as a submachine gun." ”

Chen Xu also felt that this kind of gun was not suitable for a giant of his physique, so he put the two guns back and said: "There are all guns in the arms trading market, I will pick one later, and I will take what I like." ”

The two dressed up and had lunch in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, and when they checked out, Chen Xu handed over all the money on his body, as well as the three seized watches and two guns to the front desk. The cost of staying and eating is not much, the key is that the suits on the two of them cost a lot, the hotel and the tailor shop are just a cooperative relationship, and the front desk can't give Chen Xu too high a discount, fortunately, the three watches are quite valuable, barely worth the price of the suit.

Chen Xu has valuable things on his body, he likes to collect famous watches the most, and the Breguet on his wrist is worth a lot of money at this time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to find it if he sells other people's hotels to offset the bill. But he was reluctant to take his watch, which he bought for $60,000 with a gun to a collector's head in France when he returned home from a trip around the world last year.

Because the collector's price was 300,000 francs, how could Chen Xu afford this kind of sky-high watch, but he liked this watch very much, and it would be a lifelong regret to miss it.

Fortunately, Chen Xu is a noble person, he neither steals nor impulsively snatches, but earnestly asks the other party to discount something cheaper, and finally the collector was moved by Chen Xu's "sincerity", crying and selling the watch to him at a price of two discounts, and issued an invoice......

Chen Xu wears a collectible-level watch, and no one may know the goods in a place like Peshawar.

Leaving the hotel, the two first went back to the airport to check their munitions, and the middle-aged officer came out again to receive him warmly, and his pistol sent by Chen Xu was already hung on his waist, and his spirit was vivid.

More than 60 boxes of munitions have been moved out of the plane and stored neatly in the warehouse, which is guarded by the airport army and is safe.

As for the propeller plane, it was towed into the hangar for maintenance, and the airport always provides various free services to newcomers who come to trade arms for the first time, not to mention that Chen Xu is a Chinese and is treated better.

Leaving the airport, the two walked to the arms trading area in Peshawar, which cannot be said to be a trading area, but a whole street where guns and ammunition are bought and sold. Many of the inside are handmade guns, the store is a simple adobe house, there is a plaque hanging outside, there is no decoration inside, the ground is pitted, long guns and short guns are just stacked on the ground for you to choose. The guns here vary in performance, are cheap, and are mostly bought by locals.

Of course, there are also professional gun shops, just look at the appearance of the shop, those exquisite small buildings are bright inside, the floor is paved with bricks, and the good guns are displayed in the glass counter, and the price is expensive.

The two of them are just shopping on the street to see what is new, and there is no hurry to buy guns, and it is only serious to sell the arms and planes in the airport first.

The real place where the big arms trade took place was not on the street where guns were sold, but in the tavern next to the Rose Hotel, where the two had stayed last night.

At this time, it was only three o'clock, and the tavern had just opened and there were no customers, so the two of them came out after a circle in the tavern, and decided to come back in the evening.

After all, the two had no money, so they had to wander the streets of Peshawar, where the buildings were old and the narrow streets were lined with shops. The city is an important trading center in Central Asia, so most of the shops along the street sell daily necessities such as clothes, shoes, and washbasins, and roast chicken, beef, and mutton can be bought everywhere on the street, and there is an abundance of food and materials.

Walking on the street, the two will become the focus of attention of the crowd wherever they go, even if they stop to take a breath, they will be surrounded by a crowd watching the excitement for some reason, and most people greet the two with a smile and ask if you are Chinese.

In fact, whether or not you bring money is not the same thing as the Chinese being unpopular on the streets of Pakistan. For example, when two people are tired of walking, they just stand at the door of a kebab shop and look at other people's kebabs, and the shopkeeper inside suddenly sticks out his head: "Ah...... You are Chinese! ”

"Haha...... Yes! Yes! Before Chen Xu could finish speaking, he was pulled into the store and pressed on his seat and was not allowed to move.

Then the shopkeeper cut five or six catties of beef and chopped it, skewered it on the spot with an iron skewer, and roasted it and served it. The pancake shop opposite also delivered five white scones that resembled sacs, and the restaurant next to them brought a plate of lamb stir-fried with tomatoes.

Chen Xu repeatedly explained that he had no money, and the boss shook his hand vigorously: "Chinese friends, don't want money!" ”

Although I have eaten a lot at noon, it is rude not to eat because people are so enthusiastic. Fortunately, there is a big man's rice bucket, and Chen Xu supported eating a string of beef and half a bag, and the food that was already supported was about to be squeezed out of his throat. The rice bucket opposite picked up half a catty of beef skewers, swallowed them in a few bites, and finally ate all the things on the table in front of a room of people watching the excitement.

In the end, the two picked their teeth and left with gratitude in the farewell of everyone.

After that, the two of them no longer dared to stand next to the snack bar of the restaurant, maybe they would be dragged in, and then the store would serve the best food they thought was the best, and it would be okay not to eat it, otherwise it would hurt people's hearts.

Finally, when the sun went down, it was just dark, and the two of them just finished eating and walked back to the tavern!

Pushing the door open again, the tavern was full of people, smoking, drinking, and playing cards, and every table was crowded with guests.

Most of the arms are traded by acquaintances, and it is difficult for newcomers to squeeze into the circle, which is a matter of trust on the one hand, and security on the other. The smuggling of arms is not visible, and there are not a few people who suffer losses when they encounter fishing and law enforcement.

The faces of Chen Xu and Zhong Siyang, two Orientals, are very eye-catching among a group of fierce arms dealers, especially Chen Xu is still wearing a white suit, Zhong Siyang's huge figure, it is difficult not to attract attention.

As soon as the two of them entered the tavern, the whole room fell silent, and the air froze for a few breaths before the atmosphere came alive again.

There were basically people at every table in the tavern, and although there were many vacant seats, it was not for the two of them to join, so Chen Xu had to take the big man to the round stool at the bar and sit down.

"Two glasses of whiskey, no ice." Chen Xu stretched out two fingers and gestured to the bartender.

"Director, I think something is wrong, everyone in this room seems to know us, you see the people at those tables have been staring at us since we entered the room." Zhong Siyang put his arms on the bar, leaned his head over and whispered.

"I also found out, let's sit here for now, and we'll find out why in a while." Chen Xu is also just here, and he is not very familiar with the situation here, so it is best to wait and see what happens when the situation is unclear, and not to act rashly.

"Director, watch to the left! A few old hairy men came towards us! Zhong Siyang's fingers kept tapping on the bar and reminded.

"I think I can probably guess why we are so welcome, I am afraid that the news of the looting of the Soviet arsenal in Kabul last night has already reached this side, and such an earth-shattering thing has happened, no wonder these people are curious about us. There are not many people in this world who dare to rob the Soviet army, and the two of us made a case last night, and in the morning they swaggered to Peshawar, which is indeed a bit of a swagger. Chen Xu happily drank the wine that the bartender had placed on the bar.

After drinking, Chen Xu wiped his mouth with the palm of his hand, burped and said coldly: "These old Maozi may not have anything to do with the Soviet army in Kabul, but what we did must have made them unhappy, since they took the initiative to come to us for bad luck!" You just beat these old hairy people out for me, be careful not to break the tables and chairs here, and don't hurt the innocent guests! ”

"Cut! It's not a good thing to break this thing! ”

As he spoke, the big man had already taken off his suit and carefully folded it on the round stool. Zhong Siyang wore such a good new dress for the first time, he was very precious, and he couldn't get dirty after wearing it for a day!
