Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 913 The person who walks the tightrope

Hawk suddenly walked quickly to Montoya's side and asked, "Mr. Montoya, do you have a car? You can't go to Vickery without a car."

"Oh, yes, I just don't know if it can meet your requirements." Montoya led a few people to the back of the house, pointed to a small truck and said to Hawke: "Do you want to see this car dealership?" ?”

Hawke looked at it, "Yes, you can drive it and take us to Mutok, and we will give you enough money."

Montoya smiled and stepped forward to start the car and drove out of his home.Since the two reporters were still in the restaurant, several people sat in two cars and drove towards the restaurant.The car stopped in front of the small restaurant, Shen Zui and others jumped out of the car and walked towards the restaurant. The scene in front of him immediately made Shen Zui feel that something was wrong. The tables and chairs in the restaurant were smashed to the ground, clearly showing traces of the fight , the restaurant owner was shivering behind an overturned table, while the two foreigners were nowhere to be seen.

Shen Zui stepped forward to help the restaurant owner who was still trembling and asked, "What's going on, where are the two reporters?"

"They were arrested." The restaurant owner seemed to be still in fear, and even his voice was trembling.

"Who kidnapped them and where did they go?"

"It's a small gang here. They came to my restaurant for dinner just now. When they saw the two reporters, they wanted to take them back and hold them for ransom. The two reporters resisted, but they were taken away because of the large number of them. They were tied up and sent to the stronghold east of the city.”

"Oh, I see." Shen Zui winked at Hawke, and Hawke walked over, Shen Zui said in Chinese: "It seems that we have to rescue those two foreign journalists first, and then rush to Mutok. "

Hawke seemed to disapprove of Shen Zui's decision, "Those two foreigners were kidnapped. It's none of our business. Our goal now is to go to Mutok to inquire about the news and then snatch the freighter back. If they are kidnapped, they will be kidnapped. We don't need to." Go get yourself into trouble."

Shen Zui shook his head, "No, the identities of these two foreign journalists are very helpful for us to find out the news. Besides, they already know us after all, so we can't just sit back and watch."

Hawk thought for a while, and felt that the other party's words made sense, "Okay, what should we do next?"

Shen Zui didn't answer him, but turned back to the hotel clerk and said, "Can you help us buy some of your clothes? We need to buy nine sets." Then he stuffed another 50 dollars into the clerk's hand.

"Okay, sir, I'll be right back." The guy said and ran out of the restaurant.

Shen Zui turned around and said to Hawke who was beside him: "Later, let's disguise ourselves as locals and investigate around the robbers' dens, and then rescue the two reporters at night."

Hawke nodded in agreement, Shen Zui turned around and began to help the restaurant owner clean up the tables and chairs.

About half an hour later, the hotel clerk came back with a big bag in his hand. He opened the bag and stuffed it with clothes and pants. Shen Zui took out a few coats and pants. Shen Zui was wondering why there were so many things. , it looks like this bag is stuffed to the brim?The hotel clerk has already taken out a large bundle of banknotes from the bottom of the bag, Colombian pesos, one dollar can be exchanged for 5000 pesos, looking at the large bundle of money that the clerk took out.Shen Zui smiled helplessly and said to him: "Take this money as your tip." I can't go out with such a large bundle of money on my back.The guy didn't refuse this time, "Thank you, sir."

Shen Zui said to the clerk again: "Go back to the hotel first, tell my friends that we have something to do here and we won't be able to go back until tomorrow, and ask them to wait for us at the hotel." Shen Zui picked out two sets of clothes from the bag and returned the bag. Gave it to the buddy, "Take these clothes back and ask them to change."

"Okay, sir." The man said and left.

Shen Zui and Hawke went to the restroom of the restaurant and changed their clothes, put a pistol in their waists, and tied a turban on their heads with only two eyes exposed. Local Colombians often dress like this.The two went to the restaurant and asked the boss for some dry food and water. Shen Zui said to the guide Montoya, "Mr. Montoya, please send us to that bandit den."

Montoya didn't say anything. Now that he is a guide, he is paid to work for others. Of course, he must obey the requirements of his employer. So he, Shen Zui, and Hawke got into his car and prepared to go to the robber's den. .The car stopped on the outskirts of Mutok, and got out of the car drunk. Except for a few scattered buildings, there were no landmarks in sight.The guide pointed to a warehouse-like building ahead, and said to Shen Zui and Hawke, "That's their den."

Shen Zui asked the guide to drive the car to the side of the road and wait there, while he and Hawk walked slowly towards the warehouse separately.Shen Zui stopped at a place about 50 meters away from the warehouse. The warehouse has two floors, and there is no door on the front. Looking inside, there are two sentries with guns walking back and forth. The machine gun looked like a Gatling heavy machine gun. There was a small slope behind the warehouse with some small bushes growing on it. There were some small bungalows around the warehouse, and several Colombians were walking leisurely.It appears that this suburb is less prone to armed conflict than the urban area.

After watching for a while, Hawk came back from the back of the warehouse and said to Shen Zui: "There is a small door at the back, and there is no guard. I looked inside, and there seemed to be a lot of containers piled up inside. There were robbers' voices coming from inside. It seems quite a lot.” Hawke pointed to the right side of the warehouse and said to Shen Zui, “There is a road leading to the road we came from just now, we can ask Montoya to park the car there and rescue these people. We retreated from there after two reporters."

Shen Zui nodded and looked at his watch. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky has begun to darken. "Let's go to the car to have something to eat and then take a rest. When it gets dark, we will rescue the two reporters," he said. Then the two walked to the car.

In the car, while eating dry food, Shen Zui said to the guide Montoya who was sitting next to him, "Hoke and I will rescue those two reporters later. You drive to the warehouse 10 minutes after we get off the car." Wait for us on the highway, don't get too close to the warehouse, it might alarm them."

The guide nodded, and looked at the two suspiciously. They went to the robber's den to save people with bare hands. Are they crazy?
At this time, Shen Zui and Hawke had already pulled out the pistol from their waists, installed the muffler, and started to check.Shen Zui and Hawke fell asleep in the car for a while, but it wasn't really sleep, because the two of them kept their ears up, listening vigilantly to the movement outside the car.After resting for over an hour, Shen Zui opened his eyes and looked out the car window. The sky outside the window had completely darkened, and he couldn't see anything clearly ten meters away.

Shen Zui pushed Hawk who was aside, "Hawk, it's time to go."

Hawke opened his eyes, took out his gun and said to Shen Zui, "Okay."

Shen Zui reminded the guide next to him again, asking him to drive the car to the road behind the warehouse in 10 minutes, and then pulled out the pistol with the silencer on his waist, and got out of the car with Hawk .

The two quietly went to the back door of the warehouse. The back door was locked, and they could only enter through the front door. However, there were two guards patrolling the front door at this time. They had to kill these two guards before they could enter.

There was a clanging sound of an iron drum after being hit outside the warehouse, which was particularly obvious in the quiet night.The two sentries at the door raised their pistols and walked towards the back of the warehouse, watching their surroundings vigilantly.Suddenly, the sentinel walking behind was covered with his hand, and then there was a cracking sound of his neck being broken. The sentry walking in the front suddenly turned his head and saw his companion collapsed. In the arms of a stranger, he raised his gun and was about to shoot, when suddenly there were two puffs behind him, and Hawke's pistol equipped with a silencer fired two 9mm bullets into his body , He fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.

Shen Zui and Hawke dragged the bodies of the two sentinels on the ground to the bushes and hid them, leaning against the wall and walking towards the main entrance.

A few car tires outside the main entrance were set on fire, illuminating the warehouse brightly. Shen Zui leaned against the door and poked his head out to look into the warehouse. There were several containers piled up in the warehouse. A dozen robbers were holding guns. Sleep soundly.Shen Zui gestured to Hawk behind him, and the two quietly walked into the warehouse. They tried to keep their footsteps as light as possible so as not to wake up the robbers. The silhouette of the reporter.

Shen Zui pointed to the upstairs, signaling to search upstairs.There is only one hut on the second floor. On the right side of the warehouse, there is a pair of iron stairs leading to the second floor. When the two walked up the stairs, they stepped on the stairs and made a rattling sound. Suddenly, a robber was talking in his sleep. Shen Zui and Hawk aimed their guns at the robber almost at the same time. Seeing that he hadn't woken up, they walked towards the small room again.

The door of the room opened with a creak, and the two reporters were being tied up with ropes, lying on the ground and fell asleep. Shen Zui and Hawke stepped forward, covered their mouths with their hands, and then gently Wake them up.The two reporters wanted to shout as soon as they opened their eyes, but their mouths were covered by each other, and they could only groan. After a while, the two finally saw who it was and stopped shouting.

Shen Zui and Hawk let go of their hands and untied them.

"Follow us, don't make too much noise." Shen Zui told the two in a low voice.

The two foreigners nodded, picked up the backpacks beside them, Shen Zui and Hawke sandwiched them in front of each other, and walked out of the room.

The night on the outskirts of Mutok was exceptionally quiet, and the four of them walked downstairs on tiptoe. Shenzui held a pistol and watched the robbers vigilantly. Once anyone woke up, he would shoot them to death immediately.He had just walked to the door when suddenly there was a sound of metal crashing behind him, as if someone had kicked an iron box. He looked back and saw that reporter named John was looking at him with an apologetic face. Shen Zui ignored him, because A robber across from him had already stood up, he raised his gun and was about to shoot, when he squeezed the trigger intoxicated, there were two muffled popping sounds from the black barrel of the gun, the robber fell to the ground, and the sound of falling was simultaneous Woke up the other robbers.
