"Cooking beans and burning bean stalks, the beans weep in the pot. Born from the same root, there's no need to be in such a hurry. " Xu Yun smiled and brought up Cao Zhi's famous seven-step poem. When it came to Chinese, it was already very good to be able to use a few idioms. The two men were dumbfounded. They really did not understand the ancient classical sentence at all, but it was probably only the Hua Xia people who could rhyme so well.
When it came to language skills in the world, there was really no country better than the Hua Xia people. English only had a few letters, and learning English was as easy as learning pinyin in Hua Xia kindergarten.
Chinese, on the other hand, was much more complicated. There were pinyin, simplified, traditional, classical, network … There were all kinds of forms. Not only could the foreigners not understand them, even the Hua Xia people could not understand them.
The new words that came out every year were simply overwhelming. Now, even "I'll treat you to spicy hotpot" had become "I'll f * ck you thirteen times". The foreigners wanted to show off their Chinese skills in front of Xu Yun, but they were just showing off in front of an expert. They were just asking to be humiliated.
"Yeah, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Jutakin also did not understand the meaning of Xu Yun's seven-step poem, so he could only go along with it. He just did not want to embarrass himself in front of Biggar.
Biggar also did not know what "there's no need to be in such a hurry" meant. When he heard Jutakin's words, he also went along with it. "Okay, okay, there's no need to be in such a hurry … Jutakin, I don't mean anything against you. Before the mission is completed, let's shake hands and make peace. Captain Yan Long has been so cooperative with us, let's not make a fool of ourselves in front of him."
Eutakin had indeed shaken hands with Beagle, but Eutakin's ability to speak was a little low. What he said could easily be misunderstood. Perhaps he did not mean it that way, but Eutakin deliberately left the words "before the mission is completed" in the listener's mind. What he meant was that after the mission was completed, there would still be a debt between them.
This would definitely make Eutakin feel a strong sense of crisis because he had gone too far. Only Eutakin had seen him kill Yani. If he told this to the general and the general believed him, what kind of punishment would he face? The general was not a soft-hearted person.
Since Arnie was adopted by the general at such a young age, there must have been a certain degree of affection between the two of them. After all, affection did not only exist between a man and a woman, but also between any person. Even if the general was made of iron and had a heart of steel, after watching Arnie grow up from a child to an adult, there must have been some basic affection between them.
This was not a good thing for Eutakin. It had only been five and a half years since he pledged his allegiance to the general. Although it was not the shortest time among these people, it was not the longest either.
Eutakin knew that Beagle dared to say those words to him just now because Eutakin had caught on to his weakness. Now, he was only cooperating with Eutakin to find a way to bring the person the general wanted back, then expose him and let the general punish him! By then, all the credit would go to Beagle alone, and Eutakin would not get any recognition or reward for what he had worked so hard for.
Of course, Eutakin, who had figured all this out, would never let Beagle's evil plan succeed. He would never give Eutakin a chance to defame him. There was only one way, and that was to make this person disappear before he returned to see the general …
They had not yet left Yanjing and Hua Xia, and he needed help. No matter how cooperative Xu Yun was, he was still an enemy, and no matter how scheming Beagle was with him, he was still one of them. They had the same goal and purpose, at least for now. Eutakin was not flustered by the scheming of his own people. His mind was still very clear.
However, only one of them was clear, and that would not solve their current problem. Beagle was not as clear-headed as Eutakin. He could not sleep the whole night. Eutakin was too sinister and too cunning. He did not know when Eutakin would deal with him, so he could not sleep peacefully. He was really worried that he would not be able to open his eyes again if he fell asleep.
It was another sleepless night. Exhaustion made it difficult for Beagle to open his eyes. He just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. Both he and Eutakin focused their attention on Xu Yun.
"Let go of my hands first." Xu Yun said, "How long has it been? If I don't move, I'm afraid my arms will be crippled. The general doesn't want you to bring a crippled person back, right? Haha … If the general knows that you did this when he asked you to take good care of me, I'm afraid you'll end up making a fool of yourself. Your original contribution will be ruined. "
Xu Yun's words made sense, but they did not dare to let him go. There was no trust between them that could be loosened. Eutakin and Beagle shook their heads at the same time. On this matter, the two of them were surprisingly united. There was no contradiction at all.
"After you let go, tie me up in front. Is that okay?" Xu Yun said. "You can't be so inhumane. My arms are really going to die. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made this request. If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself. "
Eutakin looked at Xu Yun's arms cautiously. Indeed, they were quite stiff and numb. Perhaps he really could not hold on. "Beagle, you're in charge of keeping an eye on him. I'll loosen Captain Yan Long's arms."
Without another word, Beagle took out a dagger and held it against Xu Yun's throat. If Xu Yun made any strange movements, he would …
Wait a minute! Even if Xu Yun struggled, what could he do?!
Beagle realized that he had fallen into Eutakin's trap again. If Xu Yun struggled, he would kill Xu Yun. That way, the general would blame him! And if he did not do anything and let Xu Yun escape, the general would also blame him!
Eutakin, Eutakin, I really can't be careless when working with you! But now, Beagle had nowhere to run. Xu Yun's arms had been loosened. He did not know why, but he was so nervous that his forehead was sweating!
Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Xu Yun did not resist and let Eutakin restrain his arms. "Captain Yan Long is indeed a trustworthy person."
Xu Yun smiled disdainfully. "I'm alone. I can't escape from the two of you even if I wanted to. Your worries are completely unnecessary. "
"Can you tell us the safest way to leave Yanjing now?" Beagle did not want to stay in Yanjing for another minute. The people searching for them had not made any moves for the entire day. If they waited any longer, they would be worrying for nothing.
"You can indeed leave today. If you listen to me, you will leave the reservoir where the incident happened." Xu Yun: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one will think that you would dare to go back. Also, if you leave Yanjing from there, you can go directly to the autonomous region of the ethnic minorities. It's safer. You only need to spend one more day to go around Yanjing. If I'm not wrong, you will have to go out to sea at Koto Island, right? "
Eutakin and Beagle looked at each other for a while, but in the end, they chose to believe in Xu Yun! They would do as Xu Yun said.
After all, they had always trusted him. This last tremble would not make a difference! They would trust him to the end!
