It took Qiang more than half an hour to deliver the cigars. Since it was Yefala's request, it was naturally not an ordinary cigar. Xu Yun could tell that the cigar box was worth a lot just by looking at it.
It was an exquisite small box with three sticks. The patterns and carvings on it were full of aristocracy.
"Gurkha Black Dragon Cigar." Yefala said, "Of course, this is definitely not an ordinary Gurkha cigar. It's definitely enough for you."
Xu Yun smiled slightly. "I didn't know that Gurkhas produced cigars. I only knew that they were mercenaries."
"The Gurkha mercenaries are said to be very awesome!" Qiang said with some reverence. "I heard them say that they are the fiercest and most valiant mercenaries in the world."
Xu Yun nodded. There was no doubt about the fierceness of the Gurkha mercenaries.
This tribe that lived in the mountain country and was world-famous for their bravery and ruthlessness was indeed not simple. Because they were a mountain tribe, the Gurkhas had to walk on bumpy mountain roads since childhood and had trained a pair of iron feet and a good body.
Although the Gurkhas were not tall, their physique was very strong and they were able to endure hardships. That was why they had the reputation of being brave and good at fighting.
The Gurkha mercenaries were tough, strong, and especially good at mountain warfare and close combat. Since England ruled the South Asian subcontinent, the Gurkhas began to serve the English army in large numbers and began to serve as mercenaries.
When England invaded, the Gurkhas made the English army suffer a lot. After that war, the treaty signed by England specifically stated that England had the privilege of recruiting Gurkha mercenaries here. Since then, the Gurkha mercenaries had been civilized in the world.
"The Gurkha mercenaries are one of the world's famous foreign mercenary corps." Xu Yun said with a smile. "The mysterious Gurkha mercenaries have always been known for their strict discipline and bravery in battle. They are also very loyal to their employers."
"It is said that they are very good at playing with knives." Qiang looked envious.
Xu Yun nodded. "That's right. The most dazzling weapon of the Langka mercenaries is the famous Langka scimitar. This kind of military knife is the national sword of their country, and also the symbol of honor of the Langka mercenaries. Because of this, the Langka mercenaries are known as the Scimitar Warriors."
Xu Yun had seen the Danerka scimitar before, and it looked terrifying at first glance. It was shaped like a dog's hind leg, so it was also called a dog's leg knife.
The back of the Danerka scimitar was broad and thick, but the blade was unusually sharp and protruded forward. It was very suitable for slashing and chopping. It could cut off the hind leg of a large animal with a single slash. It was definitely a sharp weapon for hand-to-hand combat.
During World War II, the Gurkhas used cold weapons on many occasions on the battlefields of North Africa and Asia, and the Japanese were terror-stricken.
Xu Yun had fought with the Langka mercenaries before, so he knew the power of the scimitar. However, no matter how powerful they were, Xu Yun did not take them seriously. Moreover, when the Langka mercenaries saw soldiers from Hua Xia, they would show some timidity that they did not have when facing soldiers from other countries.
At first, Xu Yun did not know the reason.
However, later on, Xu Yun heard Wan Kuangxiao tell them a story about the border between Hua Xia and India. India also liked to hire Langka mercenaries. When there was a conflict, India sent the Gurkha mercenaries and the Sikh troops, who were best at hand-to-hand combat.
These two troops were once boasted by the western army as being invincible in hand-to-hand combat. They were fierce and good at fighting, and their enemies trembled in fear at the sound of their names.
However, the Chinese army cut off the road from the West Pass to Bandira, causing an Indian brigade to fall into an ambush. The Gurkha mercenaries and the Sikh troops, who were eager to escape, engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand combat with the Chinese army.
The valiant and skilled Gurkha mercenaries were naturally the main force of the Indian army. But in the hand-to-hand combat, these valiant and skilled Gurkha mercenaries were easily slaughtered by the tri-edged bayonets of the Chinese soldiers and fled like rats!
This was perhaps the trauma of the Gurkha mercenaries to this day.
"The Gurkha mercenaries are strong, but in front of our Hua Xia soldiers, they always have to walk with their heads down." Xu Yun smiled. "If you want to know why, go and read the history books. I'm going to the cigar bar now, so I don't have time to tell you."
After Xu Yun went to the cigar bar, Qiang also left. He was in a good mood because of Xu Yun and went straight to Xinhua Bookstore. He wanted to see if there were any history books that told this story.
Ye Fala stayed in the holiday villa and poured herself a glass of champagne. She knew Xu Yun well, and Xu Yun would not like her to interfere in this matter.
If Xu Yun needed her help, he would definitely tell her. If he did not say what he needed her to do, she would be the best help to Xu Yun by staying here.
After all, it was impossible for Tuo Tong to hurt Xu Yun. The only threat Tuo Tong posed now was whether this guy would hurt the people around him. This might be the only thing Ye Fala had to worry about. However, with Ye Fala's personality, she probably would not worry about those guys at all.
Anyway, although they were all friends in this circle, there was probably not a single one of them who were sincere friends.
At the very least, Ye Fala had never felt that anyone would treat her sincerely as a friend. When she fell to the lowest point of her life, none of these friends appeared. At that time, the only one who was willing to help her was Xu Yun.
Therefore, Ye Fala would not treat anyone in this circle as a friend.
…
Xu Yun came to the cigar bar. There were already many cigar customers who had started drinking and chatting. For such a high-end place, this kind of place that served high-end people would never lack popularity.
Soon, Xu Yun saw Tuo Tong and Ji Huanghuang chatting on a sofa.
Of course, even if Xu Yun saw them, he would pretend not to see them. He walked in the opposite direction of the two, but he would use his own way to attract Ji Huanghuang's attention.
Many cigar novices would usually pretend to be familiar with it. As soon as they sat down, they would directly order the cocktail and cigar that they had thought of beforehand, thinking that this would make them look more experienced.
But in fact, the names of cigars and cocktails that they saw in magazines might not necessarily be suitable for everyone.
Cocktails could only be paired with very light cigars, and wine and cigars together would make the tongue unusually dry. Drinking beer and smoking cigars already looked strange, and the smell of beer would make cigar smokers very uncomfortable. Cigars with a clear taste seemed to be able to go well with rum, but there was no wine like whiskey that was a match made in heaven for cigars.
True cigar smokers who were both rich and classy would often bring their own cigars and come to the cigar bar to open a bottle of whiskey that matched the cigar in their hand, instead of ordering a cocktail and smoking a cigar to show off.
Xu Yun snapped his fingers, and the waiter immediately came over.
"Give me a bottle of McAllen Resplendent," Xu Yun said casually.
The waiter immediately nodded.
Xu Yun's order had indeed attracted Ji Huangjin's attention. Rich people would like to order famous and classy drinks like the Royal Salute, which cost about 20,000 yuan. However, if they didn't have any business and wanted to drink alone, most of them would probably choose the Zuni Zuni, which cost only a few thousand yuan.
Xu Yun ordered a bottle of McAllen Resplendent, which was one of the most expensive bottles in the McAllen 1824 Master series. The market price for a bottle was equivalent to two bottles of Royal Salute 62. It would probably sell for around 50,000 yuan in a place like this.
Ordering a bottle of McAllen Resplendent alone just to drink alone with the cigar in his hand could really be said to be quite extravagant.
Ji Huangjin naturally noticed. Not only Ji Huangjin, but everyone in the cigar bar also noticed. After all, everyone wanted to see what kind of cigar was paired with a bottle of whiskey that cost tens of thousands of yuan!
Ji Huangjin immediately became excited when he saw Xu Yun. He directly stood up and even forgot about "Huang Renhua" beside him. He strode towards Xu Yun and said, "Director Xu! You also like cigars? What a coincidence! We meet again! "
At this time, the wine was served. Ji Huangjin generously said, "This bottle of wine is on me!"
If Ji Huangjin was alone, he would definitely not drink such expensive wine. Money was not to be wasted. But in front of Xu Yun, even if the wine was twice as expensive, he would definitely not blink and not care!
Xu Yun already knew that Ji Huangjin was this kind of person. That was why he dared to order such an expensive bottle of wine without any hesitation. Since someone was paying the bill, why not take advantage of it? Ji Huangjin would definitely be willing to pay the bill anyway.
"Director Ji is too polite." Xu Yun finished speaking and took out a rare limited edition Black Dragon Cigar and slowly lit it.
Ji Huangjin was stunned when he saw the cigar. Looking at Xu Yun's cigar and smelling it, even his Louixs cigar was nothing in Xu Yun's eyes.
