Chapter 12: The Direction the Sword Pointed (8)

In the afternoon, they had arrived in Baghdad (the capital of Iraq), and Yi Ziyun was a cute little girl with a delicate baby face on the surface, but she was even more violent than Xiao Baiyu when she drove the car, although not enough to enter the corner at 200 yards, but she would definitely step on the gas pedal on the straight.

"Really, the performance of your car is not good enough, that is, because the global limited edition of 20 makes it very famous, the only remarkable thing is that this is moved from the dashboard of the fighter jet, less than three years after the release of this car there is Aventator, not only the performance is better than reventon, the engine is more sophisticated, and the price is more than half cheaper, 100 kilometers per hour only needs to speed up by 2.8 seconds, although the seat material is only leather, not as good as reventon's leather, but in terms of cost performance, Aventator is several grades higher. Seeing Xiao Baiyu stretching his waist, Yi Ziyun immediately opened the conversation, like the water of the Yellow River gushing endlessly.

"I can't say that, I can afford to drive a Lamborghini, who can talk about the cost performance? And the leather seats are more collectible, and this car is also a kind of collector's item. Xiao Baiyu said with a lazy yawn.

"It's ......," Yi Ziyun thought about and nodded.

"In fact, the most important thing is that I grabbed this car from Han Luanshou, this car is simply a terrible thing to give him, you must know that the guy has been driving a small broken Santana in China in the past few years, I don't know which scrap car factory to pick up, it is estimated that it is a product of the 80s of the last century, I was doubting whether the car could be driven, the guy transformed it from the inside out, I once thought that the cost could even buy a new car, I really don't know where he got this hobby......"

"Really? Santana in the '80s! I haven't seen it yet, I've only seen Rolls-Royce and Maybach or anything like that, so when will you take me to see it." Yi Ziyun smiled like an elf, her eyes curved into crescents.

Xiao Baiyu was embarrassed, and said that the Rolls-Royce and Maybach in the 80s of the last century were collectibles, and the Santana in the 80s in the world was a pile of scrap iron......

In recent years, Syria and Iraq have been unstable, terrorism is rampant, and religion has brought faith and light to many people, but it has also taken away the reason and benevolence of some people.

The Middle East, a land sprinkled with the light of Allah, has long endured the test of war and gunsmoke, and there is a clash of barbarism and civilization, and at the same time a collision of fantasy and reality. It is true that Hosseini's work is only fiction, but the impossible friendship and indestructible love shown in the text are all the more human because of these pains and disasters.

Perhaps, this is why Nietzsche said, "Of all literature, I love only those who write in blood." "The faint light in the darkness is even more precious.

Yi Ziyun didn't stay on this road for too long, and Xiao Baiyu changed into the driver's seat in the evening. It would be too time-consuming to drive directly to Kabul, and they will take a direct flight to Kabul in Iran, and the round-trip tickets have already been purchased by Yi Ziyun to inform the Iranian Council.

Due to the rampant terrorist organizations and the unrest in Syria and Iraq in recent years, they did not take a flight in Syria or Iraq, and there was no direct flight from Jerusalem to Afghanistan, so they did not want to get into trouble, so they simply parked their cars in Iran.

When they arrived in Tehran, it was already late at night, and the two had already booked a hotel next to the airport, and the flight was scheduled for the next morning.

The hotel next to the airport has a consistent luxury, the girl can't wait to run into the bathroom, after taking a bath, she feels that her sticky body is suddenly refreshed after driving in the sun for a day, wearing a white bathrobe, and stretching her body lazily. Although she was exhausted, she still did not forget the daily compulsory class - to do a few yoga poses seriously.

At this time, the underwear that had been thrown into the washing machine was also washed, and she put them in the dryer, which meant that she was wrapped in only a bathrobe.

Just as he was about to go to bed, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Xiaobai?" the girl asked tentatively.

"It's me. ”

Yi Ziyun stepped on slippers and walked to the door to open the door for Xiao Baiyu, Xiao Baiyu was still wearing the dirty clothes of the day, and his appearance had not changed at all, but there was more purple coffin wrapped in white cloth on his back.

"Why are you going, it's going to be early tomorrow!" Yi Ziyun asked angrily with her hands on her waist.

"......" Xiao Baiyu looked at Yi Ziyun like a hibiscus out of the water, and was stunned for a while, perhaps because she stayed in the bathroom for too long and lacked oxygen, her cheeks had a faint red glow, and her hair was stained with water droplets.

As if aware of Xiao Baiyu's gaze, Yi Ziyun's whole body suddenly turned red, like a shrimp thrown into boiling water.

"Take care of this for me. Xiao Baiyu put the purple box behind him into Yi Ziyun's room, "I have something to deal with." ”

"What did you find?" Yi Ziyun stared at Xiao Baiyu and asked, obviously, Yi Ziyun discovered Xiao Baiyu's abnormality, "Didn't you put this thing in a Lamborghini a long time ago?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this kind of trivial matter, go to bed early, I wish you a good dream. Xiao Baiyu smiled and patted Yi Ziyun's head.

Walking to the door of his room, Xiao Baiyu stood for a while, continued to walk forward, and went upstairs.

......

A middle-aged man sat on the edge of the bed, wiping his knife, a well-polished Japanese samurai sword, the blade of which reflected the dim light to every corner of the room, under the dim lamp, and then he put it away and placed it in the knife holder on the coffee table next to him.

The man lay down on the bed, turned off the lamp and prepared to rest, but the moment he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of a knife drawn, and then he suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could turn around, he heard the voice of talking.

"The knife is a good knife, but I've seen the demon knife Muramasa with my own eyes, so your knife with no metal activity at all can only be said to be pretty good among cold metal weapons. ”

The man jumped out of bed almost instantly, he didn't turn on the light, just stared fixedly at the man with his back to him, no, it should be a boy.

"Hehe, your reaction really surprised me, don't ask me who I am, or do you mean you can't understand English?" Xiao Baiyu smiled faintly, "Or do you know who I am." ”

"Your instincts are as sharp as Kamimine said. The man said.

"Yes, then that Shangfeng of yours really knows me," Xiao Baiyu smiled, "Does Sir want to sit down and talk to me? If so, turn on the light, after all, negotiation is not a shady thing, if not, then I will be a sir is hinting that I am going to do something shady, but even if we people disappear, we should be silent, if we lie in the hotel and have a problem, it will be bad! But I didn't expect Sir to be so considerate, even the knife was ready for me." ”

Listening to Xiao Baiyu's extremely flat tone, fine beads of sweat appeared on the man's forehead, and he turned on the lamp with trembling hands.

"It seems that the gentleman is not sincere," Xiao Baiyu turned around and pointed the knife at the man's chest, "I don't think that a table lamp can bring us enough light, you are an insult to our friendly negotiations." ”

"Wait a minute!" Looking at the blade that was getting closer and closer to him, the man finally relented and turned on the lights in the room, his face exposed to the light and the intruder's face clearly visible, younger than he had imagined.

"I hate to do things that are tongue-in-cheek," Xiao Baiyu said lightly, "Especially for marionettes like you, of course, if you have a lot of confidence in the guys behind you, I can't do anything." ”

"I didn't expect us to be so cautious all the time, but you still found out, I always felt that Shangfeng overestimated you, but I didn't expect to underestimate you. ”

"Ha! A guy like you is still in the mood to talk to me about such a non-nutritious topic like this?" Xiao Baiyu smiled slightly, "Guy who wanders on the edge, you don't know what kind of existence I am and want to be my opponent? Where did you get the confidence to talk to me on an equal footing?"

The man swallowed a mouthful of saliva a little nervously, not daring to take his eyes off the boy opposite, he had a feeling that he had never experienced before, as if he was being seen through everything.

"What kind of chips are you waiting for!" Xiao Baiyu put the katana into the scabbard, "This knife is very well made, the pattern on the body of the knife has both the style of classical Japanese culture, and the religious atmosphere of medieval Europe, it seems that you are full of longing for some mysterious power, this longing is good, but you don't think how wonderful this world is, not long ago there was a guy who thought that, but it has been wiped out, fortunately you know us well enough, not to be as stupid as that guy." ”

"Didn't Your Excellency want to negotiate, why are you telling me this now?" Although the man said this, he hoped that Xiao Baiyu would continue to say this.

"You don't need to say these things hard, I know that you want to delay more time than negotiations, after all, both sides of the negotiation have their own bargaining chips, don't they?" Xiao Baiyu slowly poured himself a cup of tea that had cooled on the coffee table, "I'm also waiting for my chips, after all, as a hunter, what I like most is when the prey gives up all hope." ”

Time slipped by minute by second, the man was dripping with cold sweat, this guy actually knew that we were waiting for chips? But why was he not in such a hurry, as if everything was under his control, and he who should have been calm felt the torment at this time.

In a frighteningly silent atmosphere, the man sat on pins and needles, while the boy relaxed and sipped tea with a magazine in his arms.

Suddenly, the boy stood up, and the man was in a state of agitation.

"Okay, the game is about to start, and our negotiations will continue, right?" Xiao Baiyu smiled faintly, but the man's gaze instantly became sluggish, and the whole person was stunned, Xiao Baiyu held the katana in his hand and drank the tea.

"Forbidden, the abyss of contemplation. ”

"Thor. ”

"Bang!", the light of the room instantly brightened the room, Yi Ziyun suddenly opened her eyes, and before her eyes could adjust to the light, she heard a familiar voice.

"Turning on the lights is not to tell you that you are exposed, but to let you see what is in front of you before you make a judgment. ”

When Yi Ziyun saw the situation in front of her, she was not too surprised.

"I'll just say that something must have happened when you come to my room to put something, hurry up and fix it, and turn off the lights when you leave. Yi Ziyun rubbed her confused eyes, yawned, and glanced indifferently at the man who was held hostage by Xiao Baiyu, "Didn't anyone tell you that it was very impolite and ungentlemanly to casually enter the girl's room?"

Xiao Baiyu did come to Yi Ziyun's room, and on the white cloth of the evil coffin of the Sphinx, he left the technique, but at this time, the knife in his hand was on a person's neck.

"Yes, sir," Xiao Baiyu saluted and smiled with one hand, and then said to the man in front of him, "Actually, I came to save you, after all, if you really provoke that little aunt, I can't save you." Of course, now you'd better cooperate, you know this knife!"

Of course the man knew, it was his chief's sword!

With that, Xiao Baiyu took the man out of the room, and turned off the light by the way when he left.
