Chapter 998: Chance Encounter

After the meeting ended, Zao Wou-Ki left the four army commanders alone, Lei Tingxiao and Sama as accompaniment, everyone had a meal together, and the views on the war in the casual conversation could be regarded as exchanging feelings and narrowing the distance.

After the banquet, Sama threw a look at Zao Wou-ki, Zao Wou-Ki nodded knowingly, and after personally sending off the four military commanders, he pulled Sama into his office and asked, "How is it?" ”

"The Marais have been contacted, when do you plan to go?" Sama asked.

"Oh? Have we made our intentions clear to him? Zao Wou-Ki asked.

"No, it's more appropriate for you to interview him for specific situations." Sama said.

"It's okay, if possible, I plan to go over as soon as possible, lest I have too many dreams at night and be preempted by the enemy, you see?" Zao Wou-Ki is a person who does what he wants, and the things he decides must be dealt with immediately, otherwise he will feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"It's okay, you can have dinner with him, it's more appropriate to talk about things during the meal, in this way, since you are going to see the patriarch of the Malai tribe, or come according to local customs, I will ask you to prepare a hundred camels for you to bring over, there should not be many people to go, I will accompany you, and there will be an interpreter, and it will be easier to deal with anything." Sama said quickly.

Zao Wou-Ki knew that the highest etiquette for gift-giving here was to loosen the camel, follow the local customs, and agreed, after the two discussed some details, Sama hurriedly went out to prepare, Zao Wou-Ki said hello to Lin Yu in the office, and after signing the anxious official document in his hand, he changed into a black robe with strong local characteristics, and called Cheng Gang, Panfu and Tang Li, the three of them had already been notified and had changed their clothes and were waiting.

The car was already waiting at the gate of the presidential palace, and after everyone got into the car, the guards drove in front, and the citizens saw the armed troops coming out, and they all spontaneously got out of the way, and discussed on the side, all of which was not attractive to Zao Wou-Ki at all, and he was all focused on the next state affairs.

Unconsciously came to the suburbs, Sama with a troop leading a hundred camels are waiting, everyone met after a few polite words, after the convoy returned, the troops continued to move forward on camels, towards the northwest mountains, on the way, Zao Wou-Ki asked: "What is the name of the patriarch of the Malai tribe?" What is the personality? ”

"Everyone doesn't remember the specific name, they are all used to calling the patriarch, the personality is not easy to say, I have very little contact, and no one dares to evaluate." Sama smiled wryly.

"It's kind of interesting." Zao Wou-Ki smiled and pondered noncommittally.

After about three hours of arduous trekking, I finally arrived at a canyon, the northwest of Soma is mountainous, the canyon is very deep, full of lush tall trees, I can't see the depth of the forest, the hot sun can only scorch the canopy, but I can't get under the big tree, occasionally a few unknown big birds fly out, make a strange cry, and then burrow into the forest and disappear, followed by a few wild beast calls, it sounds like a baboon.

Inside the canyon is a village, under the shade of trees, it seems that there is a bit of landscape art beauty, the village is based on stone, wood is the wall, the roof is paved with withered grass bark and stone slabs and the like, some children are grazing outside the canyon, the white sheep can not see the edge, there are some cows, are leisurely eating grass, not far away a water flows out of the village, slowly flows into the distance.

Some of the hounds saw the stranger coming, they all stood, pricked up their ears, watched vigilantly, a few couldn't help barking, the child found that someone was coming, shouting something, and then, someone in the canyon responded, one by one, as if it was passing.

"What are they shouting? As if delivering a message. Zao Wou-Ki asked curiously.

"The news of our coming has been passed in, and this method of passing it is not bad, and these children are good sentinels." Sama laughed.

"Indeed." Zao Wou-Ki saw that Sama looked indifferent, not like there was anything bad, and he didn't bother to ask, and walked forward for a while, and saw many young men rushing out of the canyon, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, including guns, knives, and people holding wooden sticks and the like, with a look of vigilance.

"Hey, didn't you say okay, this is?" Zao Wou-Ki asked curiously.

"It's a bit weird, I'll take a look." Sama was also suspicious and ran up on a camel.

Zao Wou-Ki was worried about Sama's safety, so he threw Cheng Gang a look, and Cheng Gang ran up knowingly, followed closely behind Sama, and secretly prepared for battle.

Sama went up and communicated with a young man, and then rode back on a camel, Cheng Gang didn't understand a word, and followed closely behind Sama, not daring to be careless at all.

Coming to Zao Wou-ki, Sama said angrily: "It's the patriarch's grandson, don't let us in, say that the patriarch is occasionally unwell, let's go back first, and find another time." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Wouji looked at the large number of young men in front of him, thinking that even if the patriarch was sick, he wouldn't refuse in this way, right? What's going on? I couldn't help but think about it and look around.

At this time, Cheng Gang suddenly whispered: "Door master, when I came just now, I found that there were tire prints of a car on the road, which were coming from this side, and stopped at a distance of about a kilometer behind me, I didn't care at the time, but now it seems that someone is coming, and this person's identity is a little special." ”

"What do you mean?" Zao Wou-Ki asked in a surprised whisper.

"There is a possibility, that is, someone is coming, and the patriarch didn't know that this person was coming in advance, so he agreed to meet us, but now he doesn't see us, which can only mean that the patriarch doesn't know, and someone doesn't want us to see the patriarch, so it has something to do with this person who came suddenly." Cheng Gang whispered.

"That makes sense," Zao Wou-Ki looked around and whispered, "Is there a way?" ”

"There's a way, let's sneak in and find the patriarch." Cheng Gang looked at the people blocking the mouth of the canyon.

Although there are a lot of people, after all, they are all people who have not been formally trained, and Zao Wou-Ki is confident that the dozens of members of the Reaper Army who have followed him all the way are fully capable of doing it in a few minutes, and killing people at the gate of the village of the Malai clan patriarch is not a trivial matter, so even if he falls out with the Malai clan, this kind of thing cannot be done.

Since there is no way to clash head-on, the best way is to take a detour, that is, to sneak in as proposed by Cheng Gang, and then see the patriarch first, but there is also a risk in this way, and it will be even more unclear if it is discovered, and after thinking for a while, Zao Wou-Ki decided that it would be better not to take risks, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

"Godfather, please go again, just say that I heard the news that the patriarch's grandson said that the patriarch was sick, and I was anxious, so I went back to publish the news and visited famous doctors to treat the patriarch." Zao Wou-Ki suddenly said to Sama.

Sama was stunned, he couldn't understand what Zao Wou-Ki meant by this, he looked at Zao Wou-Ki suspiciously, and suddenly thought of something, his face changed, he nodded, and ran up again on a camel with a serious expression, Cheng Gang followed closely behind, who knows what moths these people will play? Safety first.

After a while, Sama walked back again, and said angrily: "These bastards, I panicked when I heard that we were going to publish a newspaper to find a famous doctor, let's wait, let's go in and report it later, I can't see the patriarch, I wonder if this is that bastard stalling for time, why don't you just break in?" ”

"No, it's not good to spread the word." Zao Wou-Ki hurriedly dissuaded.

After waiting for a while, there was no news coming, Zao Wou-Ki thought that there was something strange in this, and decided to go back first, some things are not good if they are urgent, and they will be self-defeating, so he said to Sama: "Things are very strange, we should not force it too tightly, forget it, let's go back first, and then come back after figuring out the specific situation, it is not bad for this day or two, anyway, it is not far away." ”

"But?" Sama thought about a president and a prime minister, and they had made an appointment in advance, and there was no flaw in etiquette, so he went back like this, and he couldn't hold his face, but Zao Wou-Ki said that he was leaving, and it was not easy to insist, so he had to go back.

At this time, Zao Wou-Ki and the others suddenly found that more than a dozen people came over behind them, all dressed in black robes, with guns in their hands, all with sharp eyes, exuding a fierce momentum.

Of course, Zao Wou-Ki would not come forward in this kind of scene, and handed it over to Sama, after all, Sama is a local, Sama walked up and said politely: "Hello everyone, please let me come out, thank you." ”

The other party didn't move, and a man walked a few steps forward and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" ”

"We don't need to report to you here, do we?" Sama was already on fire, but when he heard this, he became even more angry, and he said it on the spot, and the situation suddenly became tense.

"Listening to your accent, you should be a local, running around with so many people, and guns, you are not afraid of government troops?" The other party didn't think it was a pestle, but asked curiously.

"Brother, it's a bit wide, isn't it?" Sama said politely.

What else did this person want to say, a middle-aged man behind him scolded, signaling everyone to get out of the way, Sama didn't want to make a big deal out of the matter, and arched his hand to the middle-aged man to express his gratitude, signaling that everyone could go, Zao Wou-Ki and Cheng Gang secretly exchanged a look, and everyone walked towards the front, while vigilantly guarding.

When passing by those people, Zao Wou-Ki glanced at the middle-aged man, saw that the other party was not hostile, and walked forward with confidence, but at this time, the middle-aged man suddenly flashed a trace of surprise in his eyes, and looked at Zao Wou-ki's figure with a thoughtful face, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Cheng Gang, Panfu and Tang Li, who were wrapped in black robes, also walked over, passed by the middle-aged man, also glanced at the middle-aged man, and walked towards the front, the middle-aged man saw the figures of the three people, his expression changed greatly, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Slow, please wait a minute." ”

It's a pity that Cheng Gang and the others didn't understand at all, and continued to move forward, but the shaman behind the palace understood, and couldn't help but look at the other party curiously and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"Wait a minute, I have a few words to say." The middle-aged man said with a serious face.

"Say, I'll listen." The shaman looked at each other vigilantly and said.

"It's not you, it's them, and I want to ask them a question." The middle-aged man hurriedly explained.

"Oh? You can tell me first, and I will tell them, and as for whether to answer or not, then it is not up to me to have the final say, and please bear with me. The shaman asked, more vigilant.
