About 70 soldiers got into the merchants' cars, and an armored vehicle equipped with an 80mm field gun led the way north, which was the general level of the North Vietnamese civilian army, which was very poor compared to the regular army, but it was more than enough to pack up a bandit without heavy weapons.
Zhuangzi returned to its former tranquility, because there was no one to sell in the market, there were few people on the streets, and everyone went to the fields to work. For North Vietnam, which is located in the subtropics, January is not a time to farm.
The guards at the gate of the village were still there, Su Yuan pulled him and asked a lot of questions, knowing that it was common for bandits to enter the village in this area, and bandits with a group of twenty or thirty people were everywhere on the surrounding hills, doing everything, only a big Zhuangzi like them did not dare to enter. And when the soldiers came, they would flee every time.
"The army said it would keep law and order here, but they didn't keep their promises, and they only sent one or two people to ask about it afterwards."
The guards were not very agitated when they said this, and it was clear that they had taken the army's inaction for granted.
"So, what are we supposed to do?"
Returning to the center of the village again, looking at the empty market, Su Yuan was worried.
Su Yuan heard the guards say that every time they suppress the bandits, they not only drive the bandits away, but they also have to chase until they can't chase anymore. Listening to him, it is such a forceful method that has caused the bandits in the vicinity to restrain a lot recently, and it is the first time in three months that they have invaded like today.
But that's not the problem! Su Yuan is going to Hanoi to find clues to smuggle abroad, time is very tight, who knows when they will come back? Do you want to let them stay overnight?
Su Yuan knocked on the wooden table in the hotel, surrounded by travelers who had nothing to do like him, the table next to him was Zhao Guoxing's family, and a few little hooligans were gambling in the depths of the store, and Su Yuan was too lazy to take care of it.
"Su Yuan, what's going on?"
Ellef, who turned into a curious baby, grabbed Su Yuan and asked this and that, and Su Yuan had to answer them one by one.
The matter here is really too early for Elf, Su Yuan has always felt that she is taking care of her like her father, and it is not easy to persist until now.
"Classmate, you seem to know more than us, can you tell us when they will go......
"I'm sorry, but we don't know."
"Alas......"
After this incident, Zhao Guoxing seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden. A pair of young boys and girls kept making noise, hoping to get his father's attention, and he could only smile in return.
This incident is probably the biggest blow to Zhao Guoxing is still mental, this is the first time that everyone intuitively experienced the chaos of law and order in North Vietnam, as for the two arrogant gangsters who are not deeply involved in the world, I am afraid that they will be more excited, but when they come to Zhao Guoxing, they can only feel fear and the unknown.
Ten minutes later, Su Yuan couldn't stand the hot and humid air and fell asleep on the wooden table. I don't know how long later, Su Yuan woke up in a daze, but because he heard gunshots.
Su Yuan stiffened up with a carp and found that the hotel was already in chaos at this time. Several travelers from China kept shouting "what's going on", but no one paid any attention to them.
"The bandits are coming!"
A well-meaning local explained to the crowd who didn't understand the situation, but it was just three words, but it said it all.
As soon as Su Yuan pulled Elph out of the store, he was pushed in the direction of the center of the village, and the street before Su Yuan fell asleep was still empty, as if so many people were conjured by magic.
The screams of men, the screams of women, the cries of children, the cries of old people, many kinds of voices are mixed together. As the flow of people got closer and closer to the center of the village, the terrain became higher and higher, and Su Yuan looked back and found that the road they came from had been paved with blood.
"Elph!"
Realizing that his hand was about to be separated from Elph's, Su Yuan shouted and called out to the wind elves, using the strong wind to clear the crowd around him. No one noticed this little episode, so Su Yuan pulled Elph and arrived safely at their destination, the "fortress" in the center of the village.
The aura of battle made Su Yuan's fire elves all excited, arguing over who would reduce the land to ashes first.
With a "bang", the entrance to the fortress was closed with an iron gate made of armor plates, and the people inside looked at each other, and no one recovered from this sudden disaster, when suddenly a woman's cry came from nowhere.
"Quiet !!"
An old man with white temples appeared at the top of the fortress with an interpreter, and the crowd fell silent.
There were more and more people inside the fortress, and one after another crawled out of a hole in the ground on the side of the fortress. Su Yuan guessed that this was probably an authentic tunnel left over from the war.
Outside the door, the gunfire and shouting grew louder and louder, and the bandits engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the soldiers standing on the high wall, and every few seconds the cries of the bandits and the shouts of the soldiers and the wails of the villagers who had not managed to squeeze into the fortress were heard, but the old man turned a deaf ear. After everyone was ready, the old man slowly spoke:
"The distress signal has been received in the nearby villages, and their people will be here in three hours, please calm down."
"They're here with cannons!!"
I don't know who shouted this in Chinese, but the old man didn't hear it clearly, so he asked someone to bring him up. After listening to the man's repetition, his expression changed dramatically.
"Ahem, quick, call someone to the tower to have a look......"
The old man kept coughing on his chest, and everyone hurriedly helped him.
(Xiaodian, help me take a look, please.) )
Su Yuan also sent his most trusted elf, and it didn't take long for the results to be there.
(Outside are all humans with guns, and a few humans in the easternmost part are pushing a large cannon up.) )
Su Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and that side also had the same result as him. After taking the medicine, the old man's expression was slightly soothed, and he said regretfully:
"We have confirmed that the bandits are trying to push a cannon in, and they are numerous, probably a combination of nearby bandits. It was my fault for being negligent in my defense, and I will deal with it after the matter is over. But, everyone, this time ......"
Several soldiers carried a large wooden box full of guns from the depths of the fort and confirmed them one by one. The old man's meaning is self-evident. A few men volunteered to take the guns, but no one dared to step forward except them.
At this time, Su Yuan noticed the two thugs he had met in the car before, and they were hiding far away, lest they be seen by others.
"What about the man in Zhuangzi?!"
The old man shouted loudly, and several more people received the guns, but half of the guns were still left in the huge box.
The wrinkles on the old man's face were tangled, and his right hand was half-raised in the air, and he wanted to speak. After a long time, I finally made up my mind:
"Well, today, whoever dares to come here and take the gun away will belong to whoever the gun is! No repentance! ”
"Me!"
A familiar male voice from Su Yuan sounded on the other side of the fortress, and it was actually Zhao Guoxing. He walked straight to the clearing in the center of the fortress and picked up a pistol. The man with the gun next to him knocked him on the shoulder, urging him to join the ranks, but he had no intention of leaving.
"I, Zhao Guoxing, dare to come here and pick up a gun, in order to ask the master here. Please allow me to recommend myself, in Xia Zhao Guoxing, a businessman from China, if you can, please give me the power of command! ”
"What are you to dare to talk to the owner like that!"
Immediately, some people objected loudly, and some people tried to snatch the gun that Zhao Guoxing had already grasped in his hand, but Zhao Guoxing did not flinch, and stood there straight, without even moving his waist pole.
"Stop, all of you!"
The old man scolded everyone who wanted to do something to Zhao Guoxing, walked down in person, and met Zhao Guoxing, and the crowd suddenly became noisy.
"Hmph, Chinese, can it work?"
"It works!"
"Hehe......"
The old man looked sideways and looked at the sky. The gunfire outside continues, and it tends to intensify. The previous few people who were going to do something to Zhao Guoxing had already made a good posture, as long as the old man said the word "no", they would carry Zhao Guoxing out and throw it to the bandits outside.
But the truth disappointed them, Zhao Guoxing's straight suit gave him enough points, and the old man's decision surprised everyone.
"It's up to you," said the old man in an extremely old voice, "remember to move faster, the bandits' cannons are about to be brought here, and if there are disobedient ones, they will be dealt with on the spot, alas, ......"
The old man walked back to the room on his own, leaving behind everyone who was full of malice towards Zhao Guoxing. Zhao Guoxing didn't say anything, but used the management experience he learned in business to command Zhuang Min, divided his soldiers into several teams, and asked someone to prepare a map of Zhuang Xia's tunnels for him.
"Classmate, do you want to ...... here?"
Zhao Guoxing said in a very incredible tone, and Su Yuan smiled.
"It's not what you think, it's just curious why you dare to do this, aren't you afraid?"
"There is still fear. However, the eldest husband is alive, it is inevitable, alas......"
Su Yuan understood what Zhao Guoxing meant. He wants to get ahead and that could be his biggest chance.
"Then let me do you a favor. Don't look at me as just a high school student, it's actually useful. ”
"And me!"
Zhao Guoxing frowned, he wanted to scold these two children who were also from China back, but because of the large number of people, he was afraid of leaving a handle, so he just sighed and said:
"If you want, even if it's the two of you, it's good to have one more. However, if you don't have any guns, you can do some chores here. ”
"No, we're going to follow you."
"You ......"
Zhao Guoxing had already done his best to push the two children out of the fire pit, but they still insisted on following him, and Zhao Guoxing had to nod in agreement.
"Don't worry, we're useful."
Su Yuan blinked and said mysteriously.
