The appearance of this difficult choice made the car silent, and Shangguan Zilan couldn't draw a conclusion after thinking about it, so he could only ask for help: "Li Qi, what do you see?" ”

"It's the kind of decision you have to make yourself." Li Qi said: "No matter what decision you make, I support you." But you have to make a decision. ”

Ouyang Jianlan couldn't bear to say: "Li Qi, you are the most familiar with the Middle East here." Personally, I think if you are good for Shangguan Zilan, you should say what you think. Your opinion matters. ”

Li Qi thinks about it, what he said makes sense. So he said, "Okay, I personally suggest contacting the tribesmen and asking for compensation. Because if you go to the United States for political asylum, you will lack freedom, and you will have to be incognito, and even then, it will not guarantee your safety, and even if you can't find you, your parents may be in trouble. It's better to make an agreement with the tribesmen, and it's a hundred. Nothing in this world has the best of both worlds. It's also about what you care more about. ”

"I don't want to beat the child out." Shangguan Zilan was gloomy.

Xun Xuan said: "I have a solution. Make an agreement with the tribesmen. You stay there and give birth to a baby. Give the child to them. This agreement is a bit difficult, and the difficulty is that the other party has a hard time believing that you won't change your mind at the moment. Now the CIA has been alarmed, and once you have the heart to keep the child yourself, the CIA will settle everything. ”

"I won't believe it." Li Qi denied: "This agreement cannot be negotiated. The tribesmen do not trust outsiders in their core interests, especially the involvement of the United States. The pagan conspiracy says. ”

Xun preached: "Unless we represent the United States, the Middle Easterners' oath to the Koran is valid. ”

Li Qi looked at Xun Xuan, and Xun Xuan smiled. Li Qi thought about it for a long time: "You can try!" ”

Li Qi contacted a friend, about an hour later. An unfamiliar number called Li Qi's mobile phone. Li Qi answered the phone: "Identity." I don't waste time with people who don't have the power to decide. ”

To explain here, the word tribal is inaccurate, and even the word tribal is inaccurate. This tribe is a bit similar to the distinction between our Hakka people and Jiangsu and Zhejiang people in China. The difference is that they live in a concentrated manner, the chiefs have the highest prestige, and some clans will have several families to run for election. Most of the tribes, such as Shangguan Zilanja, have a relatively primitive culture, or hereditary and inheritance systems. However, it is a peculiarity of all clans that their clan heads and any clan positions cannot be appointed by the political axe.

The other party replied: "I am the great elder of the xx tribe. "The Great Elder is a tribal position second only to the chief, and this position has no real power, but it has great spiritual influence. For example, the Christian pope in the United States. Sometimes he also makes cameo appearances in diplomacy. For example, in Libya, the elders of more than 100 tribes united to form a council of elders to discuss self-reliance. And the existence of elders is also the biggest reason why the fetus cannot be killed directly, because although the elders have no real power, they are responsible for maintaining traditions and teachings. In the event of the death of the fetus, the Council of Elders will determine the next successor according to religious justice. They can't just cover the sky with their hands, and that's the power of religion.

"I'm a CIA agent." Li Qi looked at his passport and said, "My name is Cardin Zhang." As far as you know, Ms. Shangguan is not willing to follow us to the United States to seek asylum. But we must also ensure the safety of Ms. Shangguan. So I want to make a deal with your clan. ”

"Location."

"XX Town, I hope you don't play tricks in secret. Our Kuwaiti team is in place, and two Egyptian teams have arrived. There are unmanned reconnaissance aircraft overhead. The U.S. Air Force at the Kuwaiti military station is on standby. If you hurt Ms. Shangguan, we will get her authorization. I believe this is not what you want to see. Li hung up the phone.

The three women began to change into black robes and arrived in xx town an hour later. A child at the entrance of the town held up a sign that read, "Miss Shangguan." ”

Li Qi stopped and held out his thumb. The child put the sign away and got into a car. The car leads the way in front and drives into the town. Country S is rich and the town is very beautiful. The eight-meter-wide road is very neat, and if you don't know, you think you're in a European and American town. The main road is mainly petrol stations, hotels, bars, supermarkets. There are very few pedestrians. There are four branch lines on the road, each straight line leading to a settlement in the town. In this way, residents will not be disturbed by the noise of rushing cars, and the setting is quite humanized.

The settlements are still clean and tidy, with few buildings above four floors. Entering the settlement, you can see a football field with a group of teenagers playing football. The turf is beautiful, and this is the town of S country with the highest happiness index in the desert. There are a lot of foreigners in the town, mostly East Asian. Led by the car in front, Li Qi drove to a villa. The water represents luxury, and this villa is strictly a small castle with a moat on the outside. Of course, the main building has only two floors. In the moat, there are quite a few children playing in the water. On the shore stood a dozen black-robed girls.

Parking at the door of the villa, a Middle Eastern man came out, Li Qi got out of the car and helped Shangguan Zilan open the car door. Three ladies got out of the car. Xun Xuan got out of the car again. The Middle Easterners saluted politely: "My elder told me to receive a few distinguished guests, please inside." ”

Inside, two Arab women led three women to wash, and Li Qi and Xun Xuan sat down. Middle Easterners ask, "Coffee?" Tea? Cigar or cigarette? ”

"Coffee and cigarettes." Li nodded his head.

The Middle East asked a young girl to go down to prepare, and the Middle East said: "You are Chinese? ”

Li Qi laughed: "It all depends on whether you are more friendly to the United States or to China." ”

"Haha, it's not friendly, it's all friendly." The Middle East laughed and said, "I have a stake in an oil company in Iraq. When the Iraq War broke out, many people, including your largest TV station in China, propagandized that the Americans were fighting Iraq for oil. But as soon as the war ended, the largest order for Iraqi oil was taken by you, the Chinese oil company. Later I understood that I was just a businessman, so I was friendly to both American and Chinese oil companies. I don't like them though. ”

Li Qi was a little embarrassed and asked, "When will the Great Elder arrive?" ”

"Tomorrow, so today you will live here temporarily, rest assured, it is safe here." Middle Eastern humanitarian: "I am not an anti-American, to be precise, country S is pro-American." You ladies don't have to wear black robes either. ”

"Advisor!" Mi Wu appeared with tears in her eyes, she had already taken off her black robe and was dressed in civilian clothes.

"What's wrong? Speak English and be polite. ”

Team Leader Ouyang praised in English, this carpet is very beautiful. His daughter asked someone to roll up the carpet and give it to Ouyang. ”

Li Qi explained: "The people of S are generous and hospitable, and they are all friends who can invite you in. As long as it's within their power, as long as you like it, they will give it to you. It's good to send a rug. ”

The Middle East man laughed: "Yes, this is how it should be, if you don't accept it, it will appear rude, and I will be very angry." ”

Mi Wu said: "But I praised it: this toilet is very comfortable." ”

"Haha!" Middle Easterners and Li Qi and Xun Xuan are happy. The Middle East man smiled: "Little girl, I won't send you the toilet, don't worry." Like that knife? The Middle East pointed to a short knife in the Arabic style, only sixty centimeters long, hanging on the wall with one finger, but it could be seen to be very valuable.

Mi Wu hurriedly shook his head: "No...... I don't need to. Can I sit down together? "That thing is a controlled knife, so it's hard to carry.

Xun Xuan said: "Generally, women and women are active together. ”

"It's okay, you're VIPs, just treat this place as your home." Middle Eastern humanitarians: "Say what you need, don't worry about customs and traditions." I once went to listen to the sea talk about business. My business partner asked me to go to his house for dinner. In order to take care of me, they changed all the pots and pans. I was happy and embarrassed. Allah says that as long as your heart is holy, you do not need to be too shy about it. And Allah warned us not to eat pork, not mainly because of pigs, but because of the circumstances. Pigs eat everything, including people. It carries a lot of germs, and it is easy to get sick when we eat pork, so Allah warned us not to eat pork. ”

Drinking Arabic coffee and chatting, Middle Easterners are very talkative, and under the integration of East and West, they are very open-minded and optimistic. Middle Easterners have little prejudice against infidels. He systematically analyzed the Bible and the Koran. I also know China very well. As for Ouyang Jianlan and Shangguan Zilan, they were received by the wives and daughters of the Middle Easterners in a separate room.

Middle Easterners let Li Qi cars fill up with gas and go to the town to buy some Chinese food for Chinese. He was a well-known man in the town, and he was also one of the more influential people in the clan. However, according to his own words, because he is used to being more European, he is often criticized by the elders.

The guests of honor were suitable, and the day was very happy. Li Qi's first love, the black hand of the god of fire sent a message that the CIA has not yet entered the country of S for the time being. Obviously, Li Qi and their interview with the elders caused a change, and they could only wait for instructions from above. They are better at this point, if Shangguan Zilan is personally unwilling, they will not forcibly kidnap them. Otherwise, it would lead to a political catastrophe.

The next morning, Li Qi explained some etiquette to everyone. At around nine o'clock, the convoy arrived, and an elderly man entered the villa surrounded by everyone. The two sides had a very tedious etiquette. Including the etiquette between the Middle Easterners to the Great Elder, Li Qi and the Great Elder. The meeting was played by Li Qijia and Xun Xuan against a group of people, Shangguan Zilan and others rested on the side, and as female surnames, they could not show up on such a serious occasion. Shangguan Zilan recovered well after a day of rest. She also believes that Li Qi will fight for her best interests.

At the beginning of the talks, the first step was to determine the treatment of babies with female surnames. The elder said that if it is a female surname, the clan will provide Shangguan Zilan with a surname of 500,000 US dollars, and Shangguan Zilan will raise the child, and will no longer have anything to do with the tribe in the future.
