The Golden Triangle refers to a triangular area located in the border areas of Thailand, Myanmar and Laos in Southeast Asia. Because opium and other drugs have been prevalent in this area for a long time and it is the main drug producing area in the world, the "Golden Triangle" is famous all over the world.

Ye Ruixin and Qiao Jiang arrived at Yunnan Changshui International Airport by plane, then transferred overland to Thailand.The destination of this trip is in the northern part of Chiang Mai. No matter how closely the Hong Kong police keep an eye on them, as long as they are not wanted criminals, they can easily disappear without a trace when they reach the mainland.

What else can Ye Ruixin do in the Golden Triangle?But who do you trade with there?Where to trade?

The police can't figure it out.

Deals between dealers and dealers are too difficult to rely on estimates.

Ji Tian really believed in Ye Ruixin this time, because he had no choice.

When Ye Ruixin arrived in Thailand, the locals sent a car to pick him up.These people are all from Xitai, and they arrived in Chiang Rai after a bumpy journey.Before setting off again, the Thai who had been working as an interpreter came over with two black cloth strips, demanding that Ye Ruixin and Qiao Jiang wear black cloths to cover their eyes and hand over their weapons.

"Master Ji didn't explain clearly to you?"

Ye Ruixin glanced at the black cloth with displeasure, and preached.

The Thai saluted Ye Ruixin with clasped hands, and said in poor Cantonese, "It's Xitai's custom to meet you for the first time. Please don't mind Mr. Ye."

A modest smile and a polite tone are non-negotiable attitudes.

In this world, who can trust anyone?

Ye Ruixin stopped talking, took out the pistol on his body and closed his eyes.

The hot and humid weather, the not-so-cold air-conditioning, and the restlessness of being blindfolded, all the discomfort aggravated the suffering of the bumpy journey.I don't know how long it took, but the car finally stopped.

The door was opened, and Ye Ruixin heard the call of an elephant as soon as he got out of the car.

Stepping on this land, the temperature under your feet is faintly felt.Under the heat of the sun, everything seems to swear the danger and temptation of this land.

The black cloth covering her eyes was removed, and Ye Ruixin squinted her eyes to adapt to the scorching sun.

The surrounding situation at this time is quite different from before.All around are armed soldiers in camouflage uniforms and armed with rifles.

Ye Ruixin found herself standing in a crude place that could barely be called a pier.

It turned out that the cry just now was made by the elephants here and there ferrying people across the river.Yellow muddy water gurgles in this not too wide river, and the elephant is the vehicle for the entire river.

It seems that this place is not far from Xitai's residence.

"Master Ye, please."

Qiao Jiang looked at Ye Ruixin.

Under the scorching sun, his white cotton and linen shirt reflected the sunlight, looking as clean as a schoolboy.Standing among the dark-skinned locals in flowered shirts, they looked a little extra dazzling.

Ye Ruixin frowned slightly. In the canal, the not-so-clean elephants swayed in the muddy water, curled their noses, and occasionally let out a cry.

Qiao Jiang knew that he really didn't like it.

"Don't be alarmed (don't be afraid), I used to run away and lived in Thailand for a while. Elephants are so gentle, come on, I'll help you up."

With that said, Qiao Jiang stretched out his hand.Ye Ruixin hesitated for a moment and then put her hand in his.Qiao Jiang held Ye Ruixin's hand and helped him sit on the bamboo chair on the elephant's back.

Sensing someone sitting on its back, the elephant swayed slowly.Ye Ruixin subconsciously clenched Qiao Jiang's hand, seeing his occasional nervousness, Qiao Jiang's heart softened.

Ye Ruixin didn't let go until he got used to the shaking, Qiao Jiang then walked to the back with the suitcase and got on the second elephant.

Seeing that both of them were sitting firmly, the translator said in Thai: "Let's go."

The elephant moved and shook its slightly bulky figure.Walk slowly towards the creek and head to Xitai's base camp.

After walking through the waterway for nearly an hour, I finally landed.What appeared before Ye Ruixin's eyes was a large planting land.

The plants under the scorching sun are full of vitality, growing nearly half the height of an elephant, and stretching as far as the eye can see.The ones with tall stems and high-hanging capsules are poppies.

Ye Ruixin gradually got used to the wobbling of the elephant along the way.But it still doesn't compare to the sense of security after arriving on land.

Ye Ruixin began to appreciate this land that he had never seen before.

These one red and one white flowers are not surprising at first.Poppy is beautiful, but it is far less thrilling than what is described in the literature. More ghostly and mysterious descriptions are just because of people's desire for profit.

Ye Ruixin’s deepest impression on poppy was a book he read in college, which mentioned the story about poppy in ancient Greek mythology.It is said that there is a demon god in charge of death called Hypnos, and his son Mafis holds a poppy fruit in his hand, guarding his sleeping father so that he will not wake up.

This story, like all fairy tales, describes the trifles of the gods in a language that Orientals cannot empathize with.

Perhaps for these people who are busy in the poppy field, for them, poppy and corn may not be much different, they are both for survival.

Seeing a few Xiaoluzi (children) playing in the open space, Ye Ruixin took out the prepared candies and sprinkled them.It was just a few candies, and the group of little kids just sprawled on the ground to pick them up, and seemed to be calling for others to come with them in Thai.

When Ye Ruixin was studying, Liang Xiao and Liang Xiao traveled to some countries in Southeast Asia. Liang Xiao specially brought two kilograms of candy in his backpack.In Angkor Wat, he distributed sugar to the local Xiluzai, and those smiling faces were so pure and touching, just like at this moment.

At that time, Ye Ruixin knew that in some places in Southeast Asia, Xiluzai would be very happy to get candies.

Seeing Xiluzai who put his palms together to thank her, Ye Ruixin couldn't help laughing, regretting not bringing more candy.

Sometimes, doing something pleasing, really seems to be closer to happiness.

There are more and more troops on the side, and Ye Ruixin knows that he is about to reach the terminal.

Entering the camp, someone helped the two of them off the back of the elephant.After being searched again, he finally got close to the body of the local emperor Xitai.

After all, it was recommended by Ji Tian, ​​and Xi Tai greeted him very personally.

Xitai is about fifty years old and wears a khaki shirt.Like the people here, with dark skin and slightly gray hair.

The man in front of him looked more like a soldier than a drug dealer.His straight figure gives a sense of majesty.Yes, he was originally a general who controlled the armed forces.

The bankers here, without one or two private troops, could not have taken root in this land.

Ye Ruixin clasped his hands together and said in Thai: "Hello."

Xitai returned the salute, and then led the two into a side room.More precisely, a gazebo-like place.

After sitting down, Xi Tai said: "You can speak Cantonese. I have known Brother Tian for decades, and I can understand Cantonese."

The people on the side immediately brought tea, and Xitai said "drink tea".Then he said: "I can't imagine that Brother Tian will fall into the hands of the police in the end. It's really unpredictable."

After taking a sip of tea and putting down the teacup, Xi Tai looked at Ye Ruixin and said, "It's as if I didn't realize that the one sitting in front of me is you."

Ye Ruixin glanced at Qiao Jiang, who immediately opened the suitcase and turned to Xitai.Ye Ruixin said respectfully: "General Xitai, here is 1000 million US dollars, which is my deposit."

Xitai looked at the dollar, but there was no emotion on his face.

"In the drug business, I risk my life. Kunsha will fail. Money is not the most important thing, but life is the most important thing! Like Brother Tian, ​​if you have money, you don't want to spend your life? Are your words worth it?"

Ye Ruixin smiled slightly and asked, "General Xitai, don't you believe me?"

Ye Ruixin smiled, but the smile on Xitai's face disappeared.He looked directly at Ye Ruixin's delicate and beautiful eyes, and said, "If Li Jin was standing in front of me, I might be more convinced. Brother Tian is looking for a disciple, it should be Li Jin, not you."

Hearing Li Jin's name, Ye Ruixin's smile deepened.He looked at Xitai as if looking at a person who didn't know how to do it, and said with a smile: "Li Jin doesn't touch drugs, General Xitai, don't you know?

Golden Triangle, Golden March, and South America, among the three largest producing areas of poppies, the highest selling price is in Europe, and the lowest is in Asia.

This market is getting bigger and smaller, and the business of ecstasy is better than that of opium.If General Xitai doesn’t want the market in Hong Kong and the mainland, then it doesn’t matter, you wait for the next buyer.

It's just that you don't know how many years you have to wait before you can find someone you can trust. "

If Ye Ruixin increases the price, or shows weakness, it will make Xitai more suspicious.But the confidence and arrogance of the passage just now made Xitai a little more concerned.However, it is not enough.

"Young boy, I think you look like an official. Drug dealer? Are you brave enough?"

As he spoke, Xi Tai suddenly patted the table.The people around immediately pointed their guns at Ye Ruixin.Xitai stood up and said, "Now I suspect that Brother Tian has rebelled, and I suspect that you are a needle (undercover agent)!"

"I am a needle?"

Ye Ruixin looked around at the muzzles of the guns, stood up and opened his shirt to Xitai.Pointing to the gunshot wound on his chest, Ye Ruixin yelled at Xitai: "I fired this shot myself. If you miscalculate by an inch, you will die. Are you brave enough for me?!

Did I know in your heart, don't try me!

Now is do you have the guts to make big money again?If not, you might as well retire early! "

Qiao Jiang didn't expect that Ye Ruixin would fight Xi Tai at more than a dozen gunpoints. In the current environment, even if he had a gun, he was not sure that he could protect him.

Xi Tai looked at Ye Ruixin, his whole body was like a gunshot wound on his chest.Under the dignified appearance, there is a terrifying obsession that is not shocking to death.

Of course, Xitai knew that Ye Ruixin was not a needle, he asked someone to investigate when he received the news early in the morning, but he must try it to see if this handsome (boy) is brave enough and qualified enough.

Xitai waved his hand, and the surrounding soldiers all put away their guns.Xitai put on a smiling face and sat down, saying, "Drink tea!"
