In the evening, when he finally arrived at the agreed intersection, Ye Qing frowned and looked at the muddy path in front of him.
The road was a dirt road, full of mud, and even the four-wheel-drive Land Rover was moving crookedly on this kind of road.
Fortunately, preparations were made before arriving. Except for this Land Rover, the rest were all Warrior pickup trucks without heavy machine guns, and nearly half of the wheels were stuck in the mud.
In northern Myanmar, any important town in the area occupied by ethnic armed forces almost always looks like this.
If roads are not built and a war breaks out, government troops will not be able to advance forward.
Ye Qing called and asked Wang Xue to turn off the car lights, but the engine did not turn off.
Raindrops fell on the roof of the car, making a plopping sound.
"This is Mogok, the origin of the world's top rubies." Song Youqing looked at the mountains in the distance through the car window, her tone full of disappointment.
Princess Jinsha said calmly: "In the 19th century, Mogok was considered inaccessible. Not only were the roads rugged and difficult to navigate, but the surrounding dense jungle was also a natural barrier. There were disease-carrying insects, blood-sucking insects and various poisonous plants.
But such a cruel environment still did not stop the colonists. They rode horses and ships into Mogok, enslaved the Benglong people, and mined for them the most beautiful gems in the world. "
Ye Qing, Song Youqing, Du Yu and even Wang Xue pretended not to hear.
All the businessmen who come to northern Myanmar with dreams of getting rich are not good people.
Even the young man from the Ye family next to me was cheating, kidnapping, and robbing openly and covertly, wasn't he?
Half an hour later, we saw U Thant.
They did not take the main road, but led their horses down from the dense forest on the ridge.
Seeing Princess Jinsha stepping out of the car, Wu Thanh threw away the reins in his hands, wiped his hands on the ragged military uniform, and then bent down and bowed: "Dan pays homage to Your Highness the Princess."
Ye Qing and the others were sweating. Why the hell are you bowing and wiping your hands?
Princess Jinsha nodded reservedly, frowning and looking at the mountain road in the distance: "How do we get in?"
"Horse riding!" Wu Dan said with a smile: "In order to welcome the princess and the legendary Ye family master, I specially prepared a horse team."
As he spoke, he turned around and looked around. Ye Qing stepped forward, cupped his fists and said, "Wu Dan, I am Ye Qing."
"Welcome to my hometown Mogok." Wu Dan stepped forward, hugged him, and then laughed and said: "Dear Princess Jinsha, young master of the Ye family, to be honest, you should not come during the rainy season. In Mogok, the main road is impassable during this time.”
"Then we can only take the small road." Ye Qing looked up at the dark ridge, and heard the roars of wild beasts: "We didn't bring assault rifles, only pistols and daggers..."
Wu Dan's skinny cheek twitched: "Actually, Mogok is very safe, and the Ye family doesn't need to carry weapons at all."
"Ye Qing is my most distinguished guest and my junior brother. His safety is very important to the Kachin people." Princess Jinsha's voice was light, reserved and arrogant: "Moreover, we are here to find A murderer who assassinated me in Rayleigh was extremely cunning and cruel."
Wu Dan's face suddenly turned dark, and his eyes flashed fiercely.
Princess Jinsha's face also turned grim: "U Thant, don't forget the eternal covenant between the Kachin and Benglong people. We are relatives and brothers, and the enemy of our brothers is our common enemy."
Wu Than gritted his teeth: "Your Highness Princess Jinsha, although I don't know who the enemy is who assassinated you, but those who can enter Mogok are all friends of the Benglong people."
"Friends also come from near and far, don't they?" Princess Jinsha sneered.
Ye Qing smiled slightly and waved his hand behind him. Judge Lu took out a heavy suitcase from the trunk: "There are 10 million yuan in this, which is my gift to Wu Dan."
Wu Dan's expression suddenly changed. Ten million yuan was also a huge sum of money for him: "Young Master Ye, I'm really not a businessman who can get a special pass to enter Mogok to buy gems for money. They are all our most trusted friends, and only by ensuring their safety can the Benglong Army bring endless wealth to the tribe."
Ye Qing's face darkened. This was shameless: "The Kachin and the Benglong people are the closest comrades in arms, and Princess Jinsha is also the princess of the Benglong people. Your noble princess was assassinated, but you don't think about it. Revenge, but to protect the enemy for profit, such a friend is really heartbreaking.
Originally, I planned to discuss the arms business with U Thant, but now it seems that this is not necessary. "
He waved his hand, and Lu Fan quickly picked up the suitcase, turned around and left... If you don't want the money, then you won't give it.
Wu Dan did not look at the suitcase he took away, but looked at Ye Qing fiercely: "To be honest, I have always been cautious about cooperating with the Ye family."
"To be honest, the supply of commodities like arms exceeds demand in northern Myanmar." Ye Qing also lost his smile: "Not only did Lao Sanchi and I order a large amount of arms, but even Duqin Maidan... Entrust Muse Baihu to order arms from me.
Because of old Sangji, I have been hesitant. Now it seems that they are also quality partners. "
"Young Master Ye, you are threatening me."
"This is not a threat, but a warning." Ye Qing's eyes burst out with wisps of cold light: "Because of my friendship with Wu An and the respect of old Sanji, I traded arms and supplies with the Benglong people.
But now, Wu Dan doesn't take old Sangji's face to heart, and is wary of brother Wu An, and I don't need to do business with the Benglong people anymore. "
He turned to look at Princess Jinsha: "Senior sister, let's go back!"
Princess Jinsha glanced at Wu Dan coldly, turned around and walked towards Land Rover.
"Jinsha, wait!" A loud voice suddenly came from the mountain forest, and a middle-aged man who was over fifty but extremely strong strode out.
Princess Jinsha stopped when she heard the sound and said in surprise: "Uncle Wu Song, why are you here?"
Wu Songzhi laughed and said: "After receiving the call from Wu An, I rushed back to Mogok day and night. If I was not here, how dare Wu Dan make such a joke with you and the Ye family."
Princess Jinsha asked seriously: "Uncle Wu Song, is this really just a joke?"
Wu Songzhi chuckled and said: "Little Jinsha, my uncle is not afraid of your jokes. My uncle has dealt with all kinds of Chinese businessmen. However, as young as the Ye family, he can manipulate such a big deal to get businessmen. It's the only time I've seen it in my life.
In particular, China's arms business has always been controlled by the government and has never been handed over to private operations. "
Ye Qing clasped his hands and performed an ancient Chinese ritual: "So, the army commander returned to Mogok only after confirming that old Sanji had obtained this batch of arms."
