Wen Xiuzhi laughed "hehe": "Yanzi, of course it's not." Japan is also one of the world's leading powers, and the policy changes of major powers are often caused by complex and comprehensive reasons, and are a systemic event, which cannot be changed for a single event.

However, we estimate that the Japanese want to communicate with you, and this desire is very urgent, and this should be the most urgent part of their needs. Yesterday, the Japanese ambassador to our country, Ichiro Iwai, and the military attaché, Hayashi Akiji, accompanied by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, visited our intelligence department and met with Minister Liu, who was also present at that time. The Japanese ambassador and military attache were very polite, expressing the hope that they would strengthen communication with our military on the intelligence system and that the two militaries could carry out close cooperation in the field of special anti-terrorism. Iwako, I noticed that during the meeting, Ambassador Iwai mentioned Iwako your name at least four times......"

"Huh?" Xu Yan said in surprise: "The Japanese ambassador mentioned my name, and what did he say?"

The Japanese ambassador stressed that now, like China, Japan is facing a serious threat of special terrorist incidents, and I heard that there is a Xu Yan Erzuo in your country's intelligence department, who is very good at handling such special incidents. In the field of special anti-terrorism, the Japanese Government and the Self-Defense Forces have many places that they hope to seek advice from their Chinese counterparts, hope to get Xu Erzuo's guidance, and hope that our intelligence department can provide assistance for the meeting. It is okay to meet at any time as long as it is convenient for us - in this case, the other side repeats it three or four times, and it seems that it is very important. ”

Xu Yan was stunned for a moment -- he did not expect that the Japanese ambassador would be so condescending and respectful and invite him to meet in the capacity of the ambassador of a country.

"So. Our Minister Liu, what did he say?"

"Huh. Minister Liu is a veteran military intelligence officer, this kind of occasion. Of course he knew what to do. He said: The Japanese Government and the Self-Defense Forces intend to strengthen information communication and exchanges with our country and our military, and this is of course a good thing, and he agrees with it in principle. However, as a department of the General Staff Department, the Intelligence Department must conform to the overall plan of the General Staff and serve the overall strategy of the state. If Ambassador Iwai wishes to communicate and exchange information with our Ministry, he can apply to our Foreign Affairs Department in accordance with the normal procedures. Then it will be submitted to the General Staff Department and the Military Commission for examination and approval -- as long as it is approved, our intelligence department will naturally obey the arrangements of the higher authorities. ”

Xu Yan was surprised: "In this case, is it possible that if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs agrees, I will have to meet the Japanese? This doesn't seem to be quite right, right?"

"Hehe, Yanzi, you are too naïve, Minister Liu just said that, that is, to fool the Japanese -- the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, how can they be our masters? Do they dare to agree to exchange and cooperate with foreign militaries without authorization? Even if the Japanese ambassador really went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to apply, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would still use this application to solicit our opinions -- uh, Iwako, actually. I'm here to ask for your opinion, do you think, can I meet the Japanese?"

Heard Wen Xiuzhi's request. Xu Yan frowned slightly: "What is the opinion of the ministry on this matter when I met with the Japanese?"

Wen Xiuzhi said calmly: "I still hope that you can meet them." The Japanese came here in good faith. The request to meet was made, after all, it was in the land of China. If we don't even have the courage to meet them, we will inevitably look too cowardly, and we will be overwhelmed by them, which will also have a negative impact on our diplomatic work. ”

Xu Yan was silent—yes, on his own land, as an officer of the Chinese army, he didn't dare to meet a few visiting Japanese, isn't it too embarrassing?

Xu Yan said hesitantly: "If I see the Japanese, what should I talk to them?"

"It's okay to talk about anything...... Anyway, as long as you agree to meet them and talk, our country will have the initiative in diplomacy with Japan, and the upper authorities will be able to ask for benefits from Japan. When you meet them, how you talk about them, how they come out, it's all up to you, and we don't ask for it -- even if you meet them, you can just talk about which restaurant in Jincheng has better food, and this is also the fulfillment of our promise to the Japanese.

Iwako, I guess the Japanese are anxious to see you, and it must have something to do with the incident in Ginza, Tokyo, and perhaps some other factor, they feel threatened and anxious to find out the truth of the matter. You can fool them around and don't reveal too much of the truth to them.

Of course, the final decision on this matter is yours. If you still feel that you are not willing to meet with the Japanese, then we will respect your decision and notify the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that they have been rejected. So, it all depends on your wishes, and the state respects your decision. ”

Xu Yan was silent - even he couldn't understand why he was so resistant to meeting with the Japanese.

Why? Are you afraid of them?

Then, Xu Yan understood: he didn't want to see the Japanese, not because of cowardice, but because of his weak heart. Because he killed four Japanese policemen, deep down, he was very resistant to meeting with the Japanese government -- the murderer did not want to see the sufferer.

Xu Yan sighed softly - the most difficult thing for people is to face their hearts. As a cultivator, firmness of heart is more important, and it is impossible for a cultivator without firm conviction to reach a high level.

Looking back on the past, Xu Yan couldn't help but ask himself: "Under the circumstances at that time, was it necessary and appropriate to kill the four Japanese policemen by himself?"

On the surface, the conflict between me and the Japanese police at that time was not to the point of life and death. The Japanese government and police only want to detain themselves, but they may not really want to kill them. In terms of means, his response did seem cruel and violent.

However, at that time, I had no choice.

"Whew!" Xu Yan exhaled deeply, he thought clearly: "Kobayashi Yasuo deliberately provoked himself, he had a way to die, under the circumstances at that time, don't say that he is a cultivator with special abilities, even if he is an ordinary Chinese ordinary person, in this case." I'm going to kill myself -- this is not killing out of will, it's the way of heaven. Justice is served. ”

Perhaps those policemen did not deserve to die, but tens of millions of soldiers and civilians were killed and injured in the war of aggression that year. They are equally innocent. If you let it happen all over again, Xu Yan feels that he will still kill people.

Thinking about this, Xu Yan only felt refreshed and had a clear mind. He happily agreed to Wen Xiu's way: "Okay, since the boss wants me to meet the Japanese, then I'll see you." Brother Wen, I'm talking ugly before, and I don't know anything about that set of things in diplomacy. When the time comes. If I say something wrong, you can't blame me. ”

Wen Xiuzhi smiled "hehe", obviously, he was still very happy that Xu Yan could agree to come down to meet the Japanese, he said: "Yanzi, you can rest assured." Of course, we can't let you do this alone. Before the meeting, we will arrange for someone to train you to understand some basic diplomatic etiquette and knowledge...... Great. I'll inform the foreign affairs side and ask them to inform the Japanese to come to you through Jincheng - this, Iwako, are you free to receive them these days?"

Listen to what Wen Xiuzhi said. Xu Yan felt his scalp tingle, and he regretted it so much that he was about to explode - he originally thought that he had seen the Japanese. It's just that everyone finds a café and sits down to talk about it, and if you can talk about it, you can talk for a long time. If you can't talk about it, you can walk separately. He didn't expect things to get so complicated. What kind of training do you still have to do!

He stubbornly said, "It's okay! If there are no special circumstances, I'll be in Jincheng for the past few days." ”

"Okay, then I'll tell them to come over as soon as possible, they should be able to get to Jincheng this week." Someone will contact you when you get there. ”

At the moment, the two of them have almost talked about their business, and the next thing is that Wen Xiuzhi repeatedly told Xu Yan not to suddenly play and suddenly disappear, otherwise many key events will be delayed.

Xu Yan was washed by Wen Xiuzhi's ears and smelled tired enough, he quickly hung up the phone while perfunctorily saying "I know, I know", and then he breathed a sigh of relief - he only now found out that Wen Xiuzhi still has the potential of Tang monks.

Xu Yan picked up the phone and sent messages back to his friends and family members who had called him in the past few days, telling everyone that he was fine, and then, there was another crackling phone call and text message, and when Xu Yan finished tossing, he found that more than two hours had passed, and it was almost noon.

He has not eaten water and rice for more than ten days, Xu Yan thinks that it is better to go out for a meal: although physiologically, he can indeed go without drinking or eating for ten days and a half, but psychologically, Xu Yan still regards himself as a normal person.

What's more, eating, how can such a good thing be given up?

Xu Yan left his neighborhood and went to a tea restaurant opposite the school, where he ordered a roast duck rice and a small stir-fry, and ate it slowly. Halfway through the meal, Xu Yan was suddenly shocked, and his head shrank unconsciously-two familiar figures walked into the restaurant, it was Gong Xueting and Situ Xiao.

Gong Xueting held Situ Xiao's arm, talking and laughing, her demeanor was very intimate, the two walked to the counter, their heads were close to each other to study the recipes there, and they exchanged opinions from time to time, with a very intimate attitude.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan's heart was shocked - although he also knew that Gong Xueting and Situ Xiao were lovers, and it was normal for boyfriends and girlfriends to have such a scene, but some things, knowing that they were to know, were not as cruel as what they saw with their own eyes.

Fortunately, Xu Yan didn't have to endure this torment for a long time. Situ Xiao and Gong Xueting did not stay in the store to eat, and after they ordered, they quickly left with a boxed lunch. But unfortunately, when he walked out, Situ Xiao seemed to feel Xu Yan's gaze, he turned his head to look over here, and happened to see Xu Yan.

For a while, the two looked at each other, Xu Yan looked a little embarrassed, as if someone who was peeping was caught by someone, and Situ Xiao also looked a little surprised, and a little unnatural - maybe he also felt that he felt that he was so affectionate with a girl in public as a teacher, and he happened to be seen by Xu Yan, an acquaintance, he felt unnatural, right?

Situ Xiao smiled at Xu Yan in a friendly manner, and whispered something to Gong Xueting, and then, Gong Xueting also raised her head and looked over here. When she saw Xu Yan, she blushed, but she still raised her head in a friendly manner and waved to Xu Yan mischievously.

Xu Yan also smiled and raised his hand and waved at them.

Situ smiled and lifted the bag containing the lunch box, he nodded at Xu Yan, and made a gesture of calling, meaning to contact more in the future, and then, he took Gong Xueting's hand in one hand and walked out of the hotel quickly.

Seeing the figures of the two disappearing at the door, Xu Yan breathed a sigh of relief - let's go, let's go, it's finally out of sight!

After this scene, Xu Yan had no appetite, he pushed the leftover lunch box forward, sat in place and looked at the backs of Gong Xueting and Situ Xiao, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

In these days, I have experienced a lot of things, going to the capital to punish demons, going to Japan to adventure, returning to Jincheng to fight the giant snake monster, and fighting after negotiating with Huang Dan...... Which of these things is not thrilling and thrilling? After experiencing so many shocking events, why still can't I let go of it, and I am reluctant to give up on the feelings I had at that time?

Xu Yan was still in a daze, and suddenly, he saw through the glass window of the restaurant that Situ Xiao and Gong Xueting had just walked out of the restaurant not far away, when suddenly a black car stopped in front of them, and three men in civilian clothes came out of the car, blocking their way head-on. One of the men in civilian clothes said two words to Situ Xiao, and Situ Xiao also answered two words, and then, the three men skillfully clamped both sides, grabbed Situ Xiao's arm on both sides, and dragged him into the car.

Dragged by these men, Situ Xiao did not comply, he struggled and resisted desperately, and shouted fiercely: "I am an American citizen, you can't do this to me...... I need to notify the consulate to be there, I need to find a lawyer......"

At this time, Gong Xueting also seemed very excited, she came up and hugged Situ Xiao, and fought fiercely with those men in civilian clothes, while shouting: "Help...... Robbery...... Someone kidnapped the teacher of Shuchuan University! Help, come quickly!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Yan was very surprised: "Could it be that in broad daylight, on this lively street, there are people robbing and kidnapping? This is too bold, right?" He involuntarily stood up and was about to go out to help, but at this time, a few people around him ran over quickly, and a young woman came over and hugged Gong Xueting, quickly subdued her, covered her mouth and dragged her to the side. Then, the others stuffed Situ Xiao into the car, and then the second car drove over, and they stuffed Gong Xueting into it as well, and as soon as the door closed, both cars drove away quickly.

This scene happened so fast that it only took a minute from the beginning to the end of the fight, but through the transparent glass window, many people in the restaurant could still see it. Curious diners ran out of the restaurant one after another, looking in the direction where the car had disappeared, and everyone was discussing: "What happened just now? Is it a triad fight?"

"It looks like a kidnapping...... Did anyone read the license plates of those two cars?"

"Hurry up and call the police, hurry up and notify the police to chase after you, maybe you can save people back!"

"It's strange and pitiful, that little girl seems to say that her boyfriend is a teacher in Shudu!"

Xu Yan mingled in the crowd of talkative spectators, he stood at the door of the restaurant, his face was a little pale, and his mind was chaotic: he recognized that the young woman who quickly subdued Gong Xueting was his assistant Huang Xi. (To be continued.) )
