Zhao Celadon received news at the ball at Russell Castle that the renegade would appear in Iraq.

Zhao Qingci told Ye Feiyang the news and made an appointment to meet in Iraq.

This is not the first time Zhao Qingci has been to Iraq, in this world, as long as the United States says who is evil, then, who is evil, because in the eyes of the White House, the United States is the king of the world, the United States means everything, and whatever the United States says, it is what it is. In fact, Iraq was once one of the cores of human civilization, and as one of the cradles of human civilization, the history of a leaf in Iraq far exceeds the history of the United States.

The plane flew flat in the sky at an altitude of 8,000 meters, flying above the sun, the sea of clouds under the sky, Zhao Celadon retold all the information about Iraq in her mind, Zhao Celadon genius's memory began in childhood, at the age of four she memorized and recited "Thousand Poems" and "Three Hundred Tang Poems", at the age of nine after reading the four classical Chinese classics, her mother spoke French, she could speak French, her father spoke Italian, she could speak Italian.

We always think that people are the same, but in fact, people are indeed very different, because of her natural ability, she has become the research object of the China Institute of Life Sciences, and has become a child student of the China University of Technology, so her reading experience is completely different from other children. As she grows older, her memory talent becomes more and more obvious, even to the point of unforgettable, which is not a miracle, what is even more incredible is that she can identify the content of the paper ball contained in the bottle, and it is incredible that Zhao Celadon can move the sand in one bottle to another, this power is beyond our human thoughts, it is really incredible, people attribute this power to superpowers, because we can't explain and demonstrate it with scientific methods, However, the experts and scholars of the China Institute of Life Sciences have seen it with their own eyes, and it cannot be classified as superstition, but at least people believe that there is indeed a force in human consciousness that is beyond human cognition.

Zhao Qingci thought about it, and the information about Iraq flashed in her mind like a movie: Baghdad is the capital of Iraq and a famous historical and cultural city in the Islamic world. The name Baghdad comes from the Persian word meaning "gift from God." The old translation is "Baoda" and "Bahata". Baghdad straddles both sides of the Tigris River, only more than 30 kilometers away from the Euphrates River, and is located in the east-west transportation artery, with railways, highways and aviation constituting three-dimensional transportation by land and air, and the traffic is very convenient. The railway runs north to Syria and Turkey and south to the Persian Gulf, and is also a must for the international Orient Express.

Baghdad. The sky is clear.

Baghdad Airport is located in Baghdad, the capital of Iraq.

The plane landed at Baghdad airport, and Zhao Qingci came to the exit with his luggage.

Baghdad International Airport is located about 10 miles west of the outskirts of the city and can take off and land aircraft of all sizes. The passenger terminal consists of three gate areas, named Babylon, Samarra and Nineveh after the imperial cities that existed in present-day Iraq. The lounge, meeting rooms and bedrooms are lavishly decorated and are an important airport for welcoming foreign heads of state and other dignitaries.

At the exit of the airport, Zhao Qingci saw a pair of deep eyes, this Baghdad woman's graceful figure was all shrouded in a black robe, except for her eyes, everything about her was hidden in the black robe, she stopped Zhao Qingci and said in Arabic: Are you from China?

Zhao Qingci said: No, the United States.

Deep eyes say: I hate America, Baghdad hates America. I thought you were from the Oriental, and I liked the blue and white of Oriental China, which is the best porcelain in the world. Unlike the United States, they have nothing but guns. Go, I'll send you to Baghdad, just 100 dilars.

Zhao Celadon said: Oh, that's really fate, although I am an American, my hometown is Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, China, I have always been dealing in porcelain, if you like, I can give you a piece of blue and white porcelain.

The deep eyes said, "Okay, then I won't take your Tilar." As he spoke, he took over Zhao Celadon 's travel compartment. When I got to the parking lot and got into the car, it was an American-style jeep, and the jeep drove up the road to Baghdad.

Zhao Celadon said: Ye Feiyang, are you still pretending?

Ye Feiyang said: Welcome to Baghdad, it seems that my disguise technique is still not good, and I am recognized by you.

Ye Feiyang no longer used a woman's shrill voice and said: But it's the first time I've been recognized.

Zhao Qingci said: It should be okay to lie to others, but it is a little difficult to lie to me.

The jeep drove into the city of Baghdad and turned into a monastery.

Ye Feiyang said: This place is the stronghold of the Iraqi Resistance Organization (an anti-American organization), and it is very safe.

Zhao Qingci and Ye Feiyang ate some Baghdad fried rice and roast mutton at noon, Ye Feiyang handed Zhao Qingci a glass of milk and asked, have you ever killed someone?

Zhao Qingci asked rhetorically, what do you mean by this?

Ye Feiyang said: It's not interesting.

Ye Feiyang repeatedly fiddled with the sniper rifle in his hand.

Zhao Qingci asked, It's just on the market, I haven't seen this gun yet.

Ye Feiyang said: Yes, I also used it for the first time. There are many different sniper rifles in the world, and this L115A3 long-range sniper rifle produced by British Precision International has an effective range of more than 1,500 meters, claiming to be the best sniper rifle in the world. Each gun costs 23,000 pounds (about 230,000 yuan). No one knows why the target appeared in Iraq. One hit kills, I only have one shot. You waited for me downstairs in the hotel and took me to the airport, and we left Baghdad back and forth, walking alone, to reduce the damage in case of danger.

Zhao Qingci said: I was left alone, and I was alone.

Ye Feiyang said: People like us are destined to be a lone wolf in the desert. Oh, while we're all alive, look at each other more, leave no regrets, no regrets, you're so beautiful.

Zhao Celadon said: Is it just beautiful?

Ye Feiyang said: Well, how do you say it? I was a Ph.D. in mechanics, a science student, so I didn't know how to use words, and then I came to the Ordnance Research Institute, and then I studied these guns, and then I used these guns.

Zhao Qingci said: You can't make any mistakes, right? You should be a scientist.

Ye Feiyang said: What mistakes can I make? I don't want that either. The organization insisted that I do this kind of work, and they also said that many liberal arts students could not understand military intelligence at all, and also said that I had an academic specialty.

Zhao Qingci listened to Ye Feiyang's helplessness, laughed, and said: Do you think it's a bit condescending?

Ye Feiyang said: We haven't met in that village in our hometown for decades, and there is a doctor like me, which is a matter of glory to the ancestors, no one would think that I am studying this kind of thing, and there is no such thing as bending and unyielding talent in all work, only suitable and inappropriate.

Zhao Qingci looked at Ye Feiyang, how could he associate the elegant scholar in front of him with the deadly weapon in his hand, but thinking that a person who can study machinery to the extreme is a person who can operate a gun to the extreme, who said that this is not a perfect?

Zhao Qingci laughed again after thinking about this.

Ye Feiyang said: Do I look ridiculous?

Zhao Celadon said: I think the so-called life is completely opposite to your thoughts, this is life, and the so-called fate is what you want to do but can't do, this is fate. My ambition is to be a teacher and live a quiet life. But what I got was a life of running around the world. I came to the United States at the age of seventeen, where I received my Ph.D., and now I speak fluent American and stutter Chinese. From the day we are born, our lives are handed over to fate. However, you do belong to the kind of face that looks like a girl's heart.

Ye Feiyang said: The sad thing is that a person who doesn't know tomorrow has never been loved.

Zhao Celadon said: How come? There are many kinds of love, do you mean love? So, let's play a game where you write in the palm of your hand, and then I'll guess what you write.

Ye Feiyang said: How is it possible? But I can cooperate with you once to see how your magic trick goes. Ye Feiyang turned around and wrote three words "I love you" in the palm of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to Zhao Celadon.

Zhao Qingci said: You can't just confess and rewrite.

Ye Feiyang was a little panicked, and the words that were clearly in the palm of his hand had been known by the other party.

Ye Feiyang turned around and wrote Zhao Celadon's name on the palm of his hand, and then stretched out his hand to Zhao Celadon.

Zhao Qingci said: Isn't that my name?

Ye Feiyang looked at Zhao Qingci blankly and said: You really know magic?

Zhao Qingci laughed again and said: It's just a little trick to make you happy. In this way, their nervous hearts were soothed.

By this time, dusk was approaching. They drove out of the monastery.

Ye Feiyang arrived at the predetermined position on the roof of the Vientiane Hotel and adjusted the sniper rifle. Then it's just a matter of waiting for the target to appear.

The dusk in Baghdad is so beautiful that it makes people cry. The sun slowly sets in the sky of Baghdad, and the twilight of dusk turns Baghdad into a twilight city, there is the Tower of Babel, there are hanging gardens, there is the legend of "One Thousand and One Nights", some people say that this is the origin of civilization, some people say that this is the center of the universe, some people say that this is the center of the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures, and all the beautiful words of the world can be used here, but all the suffering of the world is also here, because the history of Baghdad is the history of the Iraq War, The history of Baghdad is a history of the suffering of the Iraqi people. Building, plundering, destroying, rebuilding, plundering, and destroying has been a constant cycle in this land. So there is no better word for dusk in Baghdad than poignant.

The target finally appeared in Tuancheng Square.

Ye Feiyang pulled his finger on the trigger, and the bullet of the sniper rifle flew towards the target like lightning.

The target seemed to sense an impending danger, and was about to pounce when the bullet flew into his brow.

Ye Feiyang calmly took out a lighter and lit the gloves he took off as he walked, and Ji'er sat in the car waiting for Zhao Celadon at the door of the hotel.

Half an hour later, they appeared at the Baghdad airport as a couple and holding hands.

Ye Feiyang said to Zhao Qingci: I hope we will meet again.

Zhao Qingci said to Ye Feiyang: It will definitely be.

Ye Feiyang whispered to Zhao Qingci: I want to hug you, if I don't have it tomorrow, then even if I love it in this life. Ye Feiyang said this until he let go of his hand to go to the security check, and he didn't dare to hug Zhao Celadon, but just stood in front of Zhao Celadon and said: Goodbye.

Zhao Qingci had tears in his eyes, stepped forward to hug Ye Feiyang, and whispered in his ear: I will always wait for you, and I am not allowed to say goodbye in the future, but I want to say goodbye. Goodbye may be never seen again, and goodbye will always be seen.

Ye Feiyang left Zhao Qingci's embrace and walked firmly into the security entrance, without looking back.

ZHAO CELADON RETURNED TO THE UNITED STATES FROM IRAQ, SITTING IN HER BLUE AND WHITE GHING DRINKING COFFEE, LISTENING TO MADONNA'S MUSIC, SHE WAS WAITING FOR SOMEONE, SHE WAS THINKING, WHO WOULD THIS PERSON SHE WAS WAITING FOR? She hoped it was Ye Feiyang. But this probability is almost equal to zero. After every cooperation, there will only be two results, one is death, and the other is life. What is dead is goodbye, and those who are alive will hardly meet again. She and Ye Feiyang actually met twice in such a short period of time, which was beyond the norm.

The water in the coffee machine boiled and diffused, and the whole room was filled with the peculiar aroma of coffee. They are the kind of people who live on the tip of the knife, and to live is to dance on the tip of the knife. Each action is done either independently or cooperatively. More often than not, it is an independent action of a person. Because, whether it is success or failure, it is a person's personal behavior, which has nothing to do with the organization and has nothing to do with other people. That's how life they live. Their basic course and main lesson is life and death. Even if it is cooperation, it is a brief reunion, and then separation, never to see each other. Never seeing each other is also the best outcome, and more often than not, it is goodbye. There is no such thing as a perfect action. Every action, if not a failure, does not inevitably pay a price. Because of this cruelty, every second of life is precious. Every time we join forces, we are fighting with each other's lives, and the lives that survive seem to be no longer the lives of one person, but a continuation of the victims, a continuation of the fate, and a continuation of the task. It's like meeting Ye Feiyang, I can't even remember what he looks like, and I don't even know anything about him, except for the unique aura of a man that I can feel when I hug each other, as if all acquaintances are nothing, as if nothing had happened between them.

Zhao Qingci heard someone say: What about being stunned? Belle? Do you need repairs in your bathroom?

Zhao Qingci answered: I just repaired it, how? He raised his head and looked at the person in front of him and said, "Why are you again?"

Ye Feiyang said: Aren't you welcome? If the first and second encounters were chance encounters, then the third time is fate.

Zhao Celadon said: Drink coffee?

Ye Feiyang said: Of course. We have to work together again, maybe the last time.

Zhao Qingci said: Why don't you have any confidence at all?

Ye Feiyang said: What is the use of just having faith? I still want to be president of the United States, is it possible? Maybe we'll see each other for the last time.

In fact, Zhao Qingci also understands that sometimes confidence is meaningless, and their opponent is a country.

Ye Feiyang said: Let's go, take the maintenance cleaner to see your United States.

Stepping out of the glitzy Fifth Avenue department store in New York City and strolling through the bustling Chinatown is truly a unique experience. Standing in the bustling downtown and looking north, you can see the Empire State Building standing in front of you. But looking around, there are Chinese monolingual signs everywhere. The Chinese plaques in Chinatown give people a sense of being in China, but it is really not China, but someone else's territory. Looking at the Chinese language makes me feel homesick, and I really want to return to my homeland like the wind. Zhao Qingci took Ye Feiyang into a restaurant called Han Tang, familiar with the door, like a regular customer. They found a quiet private room, sat down, and Ye Feiyang said to Zhao Qingci: It seems to be your home.

Zhao Qingci said: When I am homesick, I will come here to sit and find a little bit of home. This man has no home, and no matter where he goes, he is a passerby.

Ye Feiyang said: How can I feel the vicissitudes of life at a young age.

Zhao Qingci said: This person doesn't feel old when he is old.

Ye Feiyang stopped talking, because these casual words that Zhao Qingci said were his sore spots.

Zhao Qingci said: I don't know your taste, so you should order.

Ye Feiyang said: I will be very selfish, so let's order one by one, and we will not suffer from each other. As he spoke, he ordered Sichuan-style spicy chicken, boiled fish, Yunnan-style ham, and Guizhou-style bacon, and said to Zhao Qingci: I ordered a Peking duck for you.

Zhao Qingci smiled and said: You are not selfish, and then ordered Tianjin's Goubuli buns, palace rice cakes, Hunan chopped pepper fish head, Sichuan mapo tofu, Nanjing braised lion head, Fujian seafood, Guangdong Chaozhou swallow wings, and then said to Ye Feiyang: I ordered a Sichuan mapo tofu for you.

The waitress of the restaurant was a girl with an oriental face and blue eyes, who could be seen to be a hybrid girl, and said to them in blunt Chinese: Two people eat "you"? "Didn't arrive" and there were still people?

Ye Feiyang listened to the girl's funny American Chinese and said: Of course it's just the two of us, is there a problem?

The girl said: The problem is that there is no problem, can you finish eating?

Zhao Qingci said: If there is no problem, serve the food.

The girl looked at them like aliens and said, "Ah, that's good."

Zhao Qingci said: In fact, no matter how hard they try, it is difficult to make the taste of China, and the water quality, air, and condiments are different.

Ye Feiyang said: You have been away for too long, but I am different, the memory of the tongue has long been fixed on the hometown channel, and this memory is difficult to change, so as long as I leave China, I have a feeling of hunger, as if I have never eaten enough, which will make you feel funny.

Zhao Qingci said: No, childhood memories cannot be changed, the diet of Chinese is taste, and the diet of Americans is compound feed. Actually, there is no Chinese food in Chinatown at all, just deceive yourself and find a little bit of home.

Ye Feiyang said: Let's have a bottle of Moutai?

Zhao Qingci said: Do you treat me as a local tyrant? Let's sacrifice my life today.

Ye Feiyang said: What you eat is your own.

Zhao Celadon said: Are you very nervous?

Ye Feiyang said: The wind is dashing and the water is cold, if you are not nervous, you are not a person, I regard every day as the last day, just like I see you as beautiful as blue and white today, I think today is worth it.

Zhao Qingci said: Your mouth is simply not shocking, in fact, her heart also thinks like Ye Feiyang.

Ye Feiyang said: Actually, I haven't spoken for a long time, except for talking to myself, who am I talking to? I'm a stupid person, and if I had the chance to sit together again, you'd find that I wouldn't have spoken at all, with the exception of today.

The dishes are all served, Zhao Celadon said: Let's have a cup first, there is wine today and drunk today. Zhao Qingci also wanted to vent, feeling that his strings were too tight, as if they were about to break.

Zhao Qingci said: But what we celebrate today is not success but failure, and the target is a substitute, which is a trap for the CIA to test us.

Ye Feiyang said: If it weren't for the celebration of this failure, I wouldn't have appeared in front of you, so thank you for this failure for letting me meet you again.

Zhao Qingci didn't know what to say, but felt that sitting in front of this man had a kind of spring warmth.

Leaving Chinatown, Ye Feiyang separated from Zhao Qingci, and did not say to go there, Zhao Qingci was inconvenient to ask him to go there, Ye Feiyang pretended to be a maintenance worker for the second time today, because Qinghua CHING has been in a state of forbidden contact, Ye Feiyang left a phone call for Zhao Qingci and walked away, and the lonely figure disappeared into the night of Manhattan
