    "Mr. Rick, what assistance do you need?" Kent looked at them and asked.

    "We need vehicles, and we may also need some gifts." Lin Rui shrugged.

    "A gift?" Kent frowned.

    Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Because we need to visit a local elder. Originally, we were ready to bring him over. Unfortunately, your security procedures are too strict. We can't bring you anything, even the weapons can only be used by you."  Provided. So I can only ask you to prepare it for me."

    "Okay, what do you need?" Kent frowned.

    "Anything is fine. What the locals want is respect, not gifts. If you can understand this, the situation in this area may not be so bad." Lin Rui shrugged, "No matter where you go, bring  Visiting a neighbor with a gift is always more popular than going with a gun."

    "Okay, we will prepare. I know what the locals like." Larsen nodded.

    "Okay, we'll leave in two hours. You'd better hurry up." Lin Rui made a gesture to Larsen.

    Kent hesitated and said, "Can I ask where you are going?"

    "Jalalabad City." Lin Rui said, "We were originally going to visit Elder Ambrava in the southern Helmand Province. But he informed us to meet in Jalalabad. Is there any problem?"

    "It's not peaceful there." Larson shook his head. "In April this year, a suicide attack there killed at least 12 people and injured 38 others. And the local armed forces were very unfriendly to us."

    "It's normal for the locals to be hostile to you American troops, Larson. Even in many states in the United States, you may be shot to death by the owner if you break into a house without permission. Many people even think, 'Don't call the police, we have  The sign "gun for self-defense" is hung at the door. What's more, most of the time, you break into the homes of these Afghans armed. If it were you, you probably wouldn't like this." Lin Rui shrugged.

    "Well, I wish you good luck." Larson shook his head, "But I think the possibility of you getting information from the locals is not high."

    "You have to give it a try." Lin Rui smiled slightly.

    In the afternoon, Lin Rui and others took these two trucks and rushed all the way to Jalal-Abad.  At the home of a local tribal elder, they met their old friend Elder Ambrava and his two nephews.

    "Welcome, my friend." The elder still hugged him warmly.

    Lin Rui saluted him to show respect, and then they returned to the room together.  The children in that family also liked some of the gifts Lin Rui brought.

    Elder Anbrava nodded and said, "I heard about you, so I made a special trip from the south. The elder here is an old friend of mine, and I learned some things from him. I think you should be interested in knowing.  "

    "Yes, elder, we need your help." Lin Rui nodded, "We need to rescue two hostages kidnapped by the Haqqani network."

    "I understand, and I also know who planned this incident. It was Haaisa. The news I got is that he not only planned it personally, but also personally participated in it." Elder Ambrava had deep wrinkles on his face  , he sighed slowly.  "This is a very dangerous man."

    "Do you know where the hostages are being held?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "My people have been sent out to investigate. As long as they are still active nearby, we will find them and solve the matter." The elder's nephew, the strong man with a beard, nodded.

    "No, no, you may not understand what I mean. What I mean is, try not to get involved. We just need to get the relevant information." Lin Rui shook his head and said, "This group of people is quite dangerous, and I don't want you to get into trouble.  .¡±

    "I understand, so we will exercise restraint and hope to resolve the matter through negotiations." The elder nodded, "In Afghanistan, they have to give me some face."

    Lin Rui was silent for a moment, he understood what the old man meant.  He is old and has seen too many wars in his life, and now he doesn't want to see too much killing.  I just hope this matter can be resolved peacefully.  But I'm afraid things may backfire this time.

    While they were talking, an Afghan whispered a few words in the ear of the elder's nephew.  Bearded was suddenly startled and strode out. Two cars drove in from outside. Most of the people in the cars were injured, and a few were dead.

    An Afghan whispered, "They refused to accept negotiations and attacked us. Two of our people died."

    The bearded man asked in surprise, "Where are the others? Where are the others?"

      ¡°They were scattered, we don¡¯t know yet.¡± The Afghan was also injured and his forehead was covered with sweat.

    Lin Rui felt helpless for a while, turned to look at Elder Anbrava and said, "Elder, look"

    The elder sighed, "Okay, I've tried my best. It's up to you, Asin, to give them the information they need."

    "Elder, should we just let it go?" the bearded man gritted his teeth.

    "Asin, my nephew. You should know what they will face, so we don't have to do anything." The elder shook his head and said, "Go take care of the injured. Go ahead." The bearded man stamped his foot, turned around and left  .  Lin Rui knew that the Afghan people were fierce and valued family honor very much.  Being able to make such a concession is entirely because of them.

    Because the other party holds hostages, if Asin and others take revenge, it will definitely affect Lin Rui's mission.  Therefore, the old man still asked his nephew to exercise restraint.  Lin Rui nodded and said, "Thank you, elder." He turned around and went to find Asin.

    Asin whispered, "They have two camps in the Khyber Pass. We know one of them and this is the location coordinates." He was the leader of the tribal armed forces. His own people were injured and died, which made him feel very bad.  Lin Rui also understood this, patted his shoulder and whispered, "We will get them punished, I promise you."

    The largest and most important mountain pass in the Hindu Kush.  Between Pakistan and Afghanistan, passing through the Khyber Mountains, the east entrance is 16 kilometers away from Peshawar, Pakistan.  Historically, it has been the most important passage connecting South Asia with West Asia and Central Asia.

    The pass consists of the valleys of two small rivers originating from the Khyber Mountains.  The mountain pass runs from northwest to southeast, with a total length of 53 kilometers. The narrowest point is no more than 600 meters, and the height of the mountains on both sides is 60-90 meters.  Landikotal Fort, the highest point of the pass, is 1,067 meters above sea level.  The mountain is not closed in winter and can be accessed all year round.

    The road from Peshawar to Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, passes here.  Therefore, whether you are hiding in the mountains or evacuating from the mountains to Pakistan, it is the most ideal camp location.
