It took more than half an hour for Qiangzi to deliver the cigars. Since they were the cigars requested by Ye Fara, they were certainly not ordinary items. Xu Yun could tell that the cigar box was worth a lot of money as soon as he saw it.
This is an exquisite small box of three pieces. The patterns and carvings on it are full of nobility at first sight.
"Gorkha Black Dragon Cigar." Ye Fara said: "Of course, this is definitely not an ordinary Gurkha cigar, and it is definitely enough for you."
Xu Yun smiled slightly: "I really didn't know that Gurkha produced cigars. I only knew about Gurkha mercenaries before."
"The Gurkha mercenaries are said to be very awesome!" Qiangzi said with a tone of awe: "I heard from them that they are said to be the most ferocious and powerful mercenaries in the world."
Xu Yun nodded, there is no doubt about the ferocity of the Gurkha mercenaries.
This nation that lives in a mountainous country and is famous for its bravery and fierce fighting is indeed not simple. Because they are a mountain nation, the Gorkha people have walked on the rugged mountain roads since childhood, and have developed a pair of iron feet and good health.
Although the Gurkhas are not tall, they are very strong and able to endure hardships and stand hard work, which is why they have a reputation for being brave and good at fighting.
The Gurkhas hired strong characters and strong bodies, and were particularly good at mountain warfare and close combat. Ever since England ruled the South Asian subcontinent, Gurkhas began to serve in the British army in large numbers and began to serve as mercenaries.
When England invaded that year, the Gurkhas made the British army suffer a lot because after that war, the treaty signed by England specifically stated that England enjoyed the privilege of recruiting Gurkha soldiers here. From then on, the Gurkhas
Kazakh mercenaries have civilized the world.
"The Gurkha mercenaries are one of the world-famous foreign mercenary corps." Xu Yun said with a smile: "The mysterious Gurkha mercenaries have always been famous for their strict discipline and bravery, and they are very loyal to their employers.
loyalty."
"It is said that they are very good at playing with knives." Qiangzi looked envious.
Xu Yun nodded: "Yes, the most dazzling weapon of the Langka mercenaries is the world-famous Langka scimitar. This saber is the national sword of their country and also the symbol of honor of the Langka mercenaries.
Erkha mercenaries are also known as scimitar warriors."
Xu Yun had seen the Langka scimitar. It looked very scary at first glance. It looked a bit like a dog's hind legs, so it was also called a dog-leg knife.
The Ronkha scimitar has a broad back, but the blade is extremely sharp and protrudes forward. It is very suitable for chopping. It can cut off the hind legs of large animals with one knife. It is definitely a weapon for hand-to-hand combat.
During World War II, the Gurkhas used cold weapons to carry out bayonet charges many times on the battlefields of North Africa and Asia, and the fascists were frightened by the news.
Xu Yun had fought with the Langka mercenaries, so he knew the power of this knife. However, no matter how powerful they were publicized, Xu Yun would not take them seriously, and the Langka mercenaries saw the Chinese
Soldiers will show some timidity that they don't have when dealing with soldiers from other countries.
Xu Yun didn't know the reason at first.
But later Xu Yun heard Wan Kuangxiao tell them a story about the border between China and India. India also liked to hire Langka people. When there was a conflict, India sent Kuo, who was best at hand-to-hand combat.
Erkha mercenaries and Sikh troops.
These two troops were once boasted by Western armies as being invincible in hand-to-hand combat. They were fierce and good at fighting alone and sought defeat alone, making the enemy frightened!
However, the Chinese army directly cut off the road from Xishan Pass to Bomdila, causing a brigade of Indian troops fleeing south to fall into an ambush. Gurkha mercenaries and Sikh troops eager to escape engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese army.
The brave and skilled Gurkha mercenaries are naturally the main vitality of the Indian army. However, in hand-to-hand combat, these fierce and skilled Gurkha mercenaries were killed by the Chinese soldiers' three-edged bayonets. They threw away their armor and fled away!
This may be something that has left a shadow on the Gurkha mercenaries to this day.
"The Gurkha mercenaries are powerful, but they always walk with their heads down in front of us Chinese soldiers." Xu Yun smiled slightly: "If you want to know why, just read the history books. I'm going to the cigar bar now.
, I don’t have time to talk to you.”
After Xu Yun went to the cigar bar, Qiangzi also left. He was put in a good mood by Xu Yun and rushed directly to Xinhua Bookstore. He wanted to see what history books told these stories.
Ye Fara stayed in the holiday villa and poured herself a glass of champagne to drink alone, because she knew Xu Yun and Xu Yun would not like her to interfere in this matter.
If Xu Yun needs her help, he will definitely tell her. If he doesn't tell her what he needs her to do, her staying here is the best help to Xu Yun.
After all, it is impossible for a Totong to hurt Xu Yun. The threat of Totong now is whether this guy will hurt the people around him. This may be the only thing Ye Fara needs to worry about, but considering Ye Fara's character
, she probably won’t worry about those guys at all.
Anyway, although there are all friends in this circle, there may not be any true friends.
At least Ye Fara never thought that anyone would treat her as a sincere friend. When she hit the lowest point in her life, none of these friends showed up. The only one who was willing to help her at that time was Xu Yun.
So Ye Fara will not consider anyone in this circle as a friend.
…
Xu Yun came to the cigar bar, and there were already many cigar drinkers starting to drink and chat. For such a high-end place, this kind of place that serves high-end people will never lack popularity.
Soon, Xu Yun saw Totong and Ji Jinhuang chatting on a sofa.
Of course, even if Xu Yun saw it, he had to pretend not to see it. He walked to the opposite position of the two, but he would use his own way to attract Ji Jinhuang's attention.
Many cigar novices usually pretend to be familiar with it and order cocktails and cigars they have planned in advance as soon as they sit down, thinking that they will look more sophisticated.
But in fact, the names of cigars and cocktails you see in magazines may not suit everyone.
Cocktails can only be paired with very light cigars, and the combination of wine and cigars will make the tongue extremely dry. Drinking beer and smoking cigars already looks weird, and the smell of beer will make the cigar smoker very uncomfortable.
Crisp cigars may seem to go well with rum, but no liquor is as naturally paired with cigars as whiskey.
Real wealthy and classy cigar smokers will often bring their own cigars and come to a cigar bar to open a bottle of whiskey that matches the cigars in their hands, instead of ordering a cocktail and smoking a cigar to show off.
Xu Yun snapped his fingers, and the waiter came over immediately.
"Give me a bottle of Macallan Brilliant." Xu Yun wrote lightly.
The waiter nodded immediately.
Xu Yun's ordering of wine did catch Ji Jinhuang's attention. Rich people would like to order the 62-gun Royal Salute worth around 20,000 yuan, which is famous and has a strong reputation. However, if there is no business and they go out for a drink alone, most of them may
I would choose Johnnie Walker Premium which only costs a few thousand dollars.
And Xu Yun ordered a bottle of Macallan Brilliant, which is a very expensive one in the Macallan 1824 Master Series. One bottle can buy two bottles of Royal Salute 62 at the market price. This kind of place is estimated to cost 50,000 yuan.
About a block.
Ordering a bottle of Macallan Brilliant by yourself, just to drink it alone with the cigar in your hand, can really be said to be quite luxurious.
Ji Huanghuang will naturally notice it, not just Ji Huanghuang, but all the people in the cigar bar will notice it. After all, everyone wants to see what kind of cigar it is, and a bottle of whiskey worth tens of thousands of dollars is needed!
Ji Jinhuang immediately became excited when he saw Xu Yun. He stood up directly, even forgetting "Huang Renhua" beside him, and strode towards Xu Yun: "Mr. Xu! You also like cigars? What a coincidence! We meet again!"
When the wine was served, Ji Jinhuang said unceremoniously: "This bottle of wine is mine!"
If Ji Jinhuang were alone, he would definitely not drink such expensive wine, and he would not waste money on it. But facing Xu Yun, even if he was drinking twice as expensive wine, he would never blink an eye and not care!
Xu Yun had long known that Ji Huanghuang was this kind of person, so he dared to order such an expensive bottle of wine without any courtesy. Why didn't he try to rip him off since someone was paying the bill? Ji Huanghuang must have been willing to pay anyway.
"Mr. Ji is too polite." After Xu Yun finished speaking, he took out a rare and limited edition Black Dragon cigar and slowly lit it.
Ji Huanghuang was stunned when he saw this cigar. Looking at Xu Yun's cigar and smelling the smell, I'm afraid his Louixs cigar is nothing in Xu Yun's eyes, right?
