Night fell, and the convoy traveled through a dark valley. The headlights dispersed the darkness, but that was only part of it. The peaks on both sides of the mountain road stand like giants, with all kinds of strange things, giving people an extremely ancient and majestic feeling. They are like warriors guarding some secret, and they may trample tiny humans to pieces at any time.
The road in the canyon became worse and worse, and became narrower and narrower. In the end, there was only a narrow path left. The convoy was forced to stop.
"Mr. Brad, are you taking the wrong route?" Tang Yuyan got out of the car and asked Brad.
Brad shook his head, "I am familiar with every inch of Afghanistan. The place you are going to is the Bamiyan Grand Canyon, which is this place. We are now in the deepest part of the canyon, and my work is done. Can you give me the rest of the money?"
Tang Yuyan frowned, "Our deal is to pay the remaining $500,000 after we safely return to the White Rock Tribe, but we don't want to pay your balance now."
"Half of the people I brought are dead, shouldn't I get the money in advance?" Brad's face turned cold.
Several armed men from the White Stone Tribe raised the muzzle of their guns intentionally or unintentionally, and two of them even opened the safety, as if they were ready to shoot at any time.
Behind Tang Yuyan, the five surviving agents from Bureau 101 also stood apart, with the rifles in their hands slightly raised.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this time, Xia Lei opened the car door and walked out, holding the modified sniper rifle and a pistol suitable for close combat in his hands. He walked slowly to Tang Yuyan's side, just standing and doing nothing.
As soon as Xia Lei appeared, several armed men of the White Stone Tribe and Brad suddenly became nervous. They don't have to be afraid of Tang Yuyan and the agents of Bureau 101, but after fighting all the way, Xia Lei is like a god of war in their minds. With him here, no one dares to make a mistake!
Tang Yuyan's face lost the friendly atmosphere, and her voice became cold, "Mr. Brad, I regard you as a friend. We also have the best reputation in this land. I will rely on you for five hundred thousand." U.S. dollar account? Why do you have to do this?"
Brad turned around, slapped one of the men in the face who raised the muzzle of the gun the highest, and yelled angrily: "Asshole! Are your brains sick? Put away the guns!"
Several armed men from the White Rock tribe followed and put away their guns.
Brad smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Yang, it's my people who are ignorant. We are not enemies, we are friends."
Tang Yuyan's expression softened a little, "That's good." She unfolded the map in her hand and handed it to Brad, "You can collect the money in advance and take us to the place marked on the map."
Brad took a serious look, and his expression suddenly became serious, "Why don't you tell me where you are going?"
"I know there is a very ancient tribe there, take us there, and then you can get the money in advance." Tang Yuyan said.
"No." Brad shook his head quickly, "That's the tribe of the White Huns. I won't go to that place, and I advise you not to go."
Xia Lei watched the two people talking. He had been exposed to Pashto for two days and could understand it a little now, but he still couldn't fully understand what the two people said. However, he could guess from the map in Tang Yuyan's hand that Tang Yuyan wanted Brad to take her to the place marked on the map.
Xia Lei secretly said in his heart: "The place marked on the map is probably the tribe of the White Huns that my father mentioned, right? Judging from Brad's reaction, he seems to be very afraid of that place."
At this time, Tang Yuyan said again: "Take us there. In addition to the five hundred thousand US dollars, I will give you another half a million US dollars."
Brad's face was full of hesitation. One million US dollars was a huge amount of money for the entire White Rock tribe. If they get this money, the White Rock tribe can arm more people. More importantly, if he gets this money, his status in the tribe will be greatly improved!
However, when he thought of that ancient tribe and the legends about that tribe, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart, and he was still unable to make a decision.
Tang Yuyan said: "With my husband here, what are you afraid of? Have you seen the weapons we brought? As long as we leave that tribe alive, I will give them to you as gifts."
The corner of Brad's mouth moved slightly, "Including that shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile?"
Tang Yuyan nodded, "Of course, I will give you not only the launcher, but also a few missiles."
"Deal." The chips were raised again and again, and Brad was finally tempted.
Man dies for wealth and bird dies for food, this saying is true everywhere.
Ten minutes later, the team set off again. Brad left two of his men to guard the vehicle while he personally led the team forward along the trail along the mountainside.
The road became narrower and narrower, winding around the mountains, and finally turned into a dangerous road embedded in the cliffs.
Brad walked in the front, Tang Yuyan followed behind him, and Xia Lei followed closely behind Tang Yuyan. Behind him were five agents from the 101st Bureau and four armed personnel from the White Rock Tribe. Twelve people, one foot deep and one foot shallow, groped their way between the cliffs. Stones kept falling from their feet onto the cliff, making a hair-raising collision sound.
Xia Lei looked up at the dark night sky from time to time. He couldn't help but wonder, could there be a satellite locking on this area at this moment, peeking at everything here
"Mrs. Young, can you tell me why you went to the White Huns' tribe?" Brad said something aloud for a while.
"We have several experts trapped in that area, and we want to bring them back home." Tang Yuyan said, "This is just a normal mission."
"How much do you know there?"
"I don't understand at all." Tang Yuyan said, "I am a soldier, and it is my bounden duty to perform tasks."
Brad smiled bitterly, "You should really know more about that place. If you knew enough, you wouldn't be so brave to go to the White Huns' tribe."
Xia Lei understood a little bit of this sentence. He touched Tang Yuyan's waist quietly, then leaned into Tang Yuyan's ear and whispered: "Ask him, we need more information about the White Huns tribe."
"I know it without you reminding me." Tang Yuyan rolled her eyes at Xia Lei. Her ears were itching when Xia Lei spoke to her like this.
Xia Lei shrugged and stopped talking. In fact, Brad and Tang Yuyan talked in Pashto, which was also helpful for him to learn this language. The more the two of them talked, the faster he learned.
The AE capsule gave his left eye magical abilities. Until now, he had only thought that the AE capsule had only changed his left eye. But as he learned and mastered more and more skills, he had begun to face a new challenge. The problem is that the ae capsule may have changed his brain and made him smarter than ordinary people imagine.
It seems that there is also his body. Before the left eye's ability was awakened, his body did not have the super coordination and sharp reactions it has now. It's just that it's very difficult to prove these. It's not like the ability of the left eye that can be felt and used at any time.
Just when Xia Lei's thoughts were wandering, Tang Yuyan brought the topic to the White Huns tribe again, "Mr. Brad, you said that you are familiar with every inch of Afghanistan, so you must know a lot about the White Huns tribe. , please tell me.”
Brad nodded, "The White Huns are an ancient nomadic people. They once invaded Persia and India and established the Kingdom of Gida. They believe in Zoroastrianism. The tribe we are going to is also called the Zoroastrian tribe. It has at least A history of more than a thousand years, very mysterious... "
Tang Yuyan whispered Brad's words to Xia Lei without affecting Brad's description.
Brad continued: "That tribe is isolated in the mountains and still maintains ancient traditions and beliefs. In that tribe, women dominate everything. A woman usually marries several men, and men have no status. It can be said that the warriors guarding that tribe are all female warriors."
Tang Yuyan translated this passage for Xia Lei, and Xia Lei couldn't help but say, "Is the legendary Daughter's Kingdom that tribe? It is described in "Journey to the West" that Tang Monk visited the Daughter's Kingdom."
Tang Yuyan translated Xia Lei's words to Brad. Brad laughed and said, "I have heard of your "Journey to the West". It is a great mythological novel. I have not read that book. I don’t know about Tang Monk, but if there is a Tang Dynasty monk who has been to the Daughter Kingdom, it was probably there.”
"Huh?" At this time, Tang Yuyan didn't even bother to translate, she was even shocked.
A picture appeared in Xia Lei's mind inexplicably, Tang Monk riding a white horse, a group of coquettish female fairies, they danced around Tang Monk, doing sexy belly dances, and then touched him all over his body... And his The question I want to understand is, what do Ning Jing and the elite experts from China go to study in that place
"Haha, I don't want to talk about fairy tales." Brad's expression became serious. "What I want to tell you is, don't underestimate the women of that tribe. Their fighting power is amazing. Every female warrior is fierce." Not afraid of death, once they are regarded as intruders, it will be difficult to escape from that land alive."
Tang Yuyan frowned slightly, "What weapons did they use? How many people are there?"
"Maybe it's a gun, or maybe it's a cold weapon like a bow, arrow, or knife." Brad said, "As for how many people there are, I don't know."
Tang Yuyan said: "They are just some tribal female warriors, what should they be afraid of?"
Brad smiled bitterly, "Do you know why I am so afraid of going to the White Huns' tribe? During the Soviet invasion, a battalion of Soviet soldiers went to the White Huns' tribe, but only one came back. That person was my brother, Not long after he escaped, he went crazy and died."
Tang Yuyan translated Brad's words to Xia Lei, and Xia Lei's heart moved, "Mr. Brad, did your brother tell you what those Soviet soldiers went to the tribe of the White Huns?"
After Tang Yuyan translated, Brad shook his head, "They forced my brother to lead the way at gunpoint. Do you think those Soviet soldiers would tell my brother any important secrets?"
Tang Yuyan translated Brad's words to Xia Lei, and then looked at him.
Like Tang Yuyan, Xia Lei also had a solemn expression.
This is a mystery, but what is certain is that there must be something that attracted those Soviet soldiers, and perhaps, also attracted the experts from Tranquility and China...
