Chapter 100 (1/2)

The two soldiers looked at Ye Qian and Li Wei up and down to size them up, one then asked, ”Who are you? Why do you need to see the general?” luckily, they were Chinese  descendants, so they knew how to speak a little Mandarin. Ye Qian and Li Wei didn't know how to speak the dialect in Myanmar so it would have been troublesome otherwise.

”We've come from China. I'm Ye Qian. A few years ago, your General w.a.n.g and I were connected by karma. It turns out, I have business in Myanmar today so I came here especially to pay my respects to General w.a.n.g.” Ye Qian said.

The two soldiers looked at Ye Qian in puzzlement. One of them pulled out a walkie-talkie and walked over to the side, most likely to contact w.a.n.g De Shen to ask him for his opinion. Not long after, the soldier returned and said to Ye Qian, ”According to our rules we have to search you first, I'm sorry.”

”No problem.” Ye Qian said.

The two soldiers walked over and proceeded to pat down Ye Qian and Li Wei. From Ye Qian they found the dagger, Blood Wave, and from Li Wei, they found a handgun, a Desert Eagle. ”We will keep your things for now, and will return them to you when you leave.” One of the soldiers said.

”Apologies. We will now blindfold you.” The soldier continued.

Not long after, the black cloth on Ye Qian and Li Wei's eyes was removed. What they saw were rows of wooden houses with triangular roofs, the wooden houses formed a circle, leaving a large field in the middle. In the field were parked some trucks and two T-34 military tanks manufactured in the former Soviet Union. Everywhere were armed soldiers at the ready. Ye Qian and Li Wei were accustomed to circ.u.mstances like this so they did not feel intimidated.

Presently, a middle-aged man walked out of one of the houses, his pace leisurely. His body was built tall and st.u.r.dy, he looked strong and vigorous. When he saw Ye Qian a smile formed on his face, he said as he walked over, ”Brother, it's been a while!” After he said this he had already reached Ye Qian, chuckled and gave Ye Qian a hug.

Ye Qian hugged him back politely and said, ”It's been many years, General w.a.n.g still has elegant manners as before.”

w.a.n.g De Shen chuckled and let Ye Qian go and said, ”What's up? How is Old Brother Tian?”

”Chief pa.s.sed away two years ago.” Ye Qian said.

w.a.n.g De Shen stared blankly for a moment then sighed, ”Ay, I didn't expect that that year would be our eternal parting.” After a short pause, w.a.n.g De Shen continued, ”Come, Brother Ye, we haven't seen each other in many years so don't' think about running off. Let's drink to our heart's content tonight and not go home till we're drunk.”

”I would be honored!” Ye Qian smiled, he let himself be pulled along by w.a.n.g De Shen into one of the houses. Li Wei's lip twitched as he followed, he didn't expect Ye Qian to be so familiar with that other person. It must be because that the former Wolf Fang chief, Tian Feng, had been here.

Inside the main hall of the house was a rectangular table and several bamboo chairs. There were teacups on top of the table, nothing else apart from these things, it was a neat place.
