Itafenli smiled and said, "Master Zhao, my father just told me some good news. Perhaps, it's good news for me."
I looked at her spirited eyes and asked, "What good news?"
Itafenli said happily, "At the invitation of your country's leader, in a month, my father will bring a few government officials to visit China. Of course, my father also agreed to let me go with them. It's very likely that I will stay in China for a while. This way, I will be able to understand China's culture, especially … especially to learn Chinese Kung Fu from Master Zhao!"
I was stunned and smiled, "It's just that … I'm afraid …"
Itafenli asked, "Afraid of what?"
I said, "I'm afraid that I will have other missions at that time!"
Itafenli said, "Oh, you don't need to worry about that. I have my own ways. I won't let go of you as my master. For the friendship between our two countries, I think you will teach me all the Kung Fu you know, right?"
“
I laughed in my heart at Princess Itafenli's innocence and persistence, but I said perfunctorily, "Yes, yes!"
Then, we went to the gym and continued to practice the basics.
Just like that, the afternoon passed in the blink of an eye.
Princess Itafenli wanted me to stay for dinner, but I declined. A waiter took me out of the Princess' villa and walked towards the State Guesthouse.
On the way, we happened to meet the Captain of the President's Bodyguards, Lieutenant Colonel Keszew. He was keeping watch at the entrance of the President's residence, and the guards in front of the gate were being scolded by him.
When Keszew saw me, he was stunned for a moment, but then he directly walked over to greet me.
Keszew wore a well-ironed black suit and walked to my side. His layered eyelids fiercely blinked twice, and he greeted me with a slightly teasing tone, "Oh, Advisor Zhao, did you just come back from Princess Itafenli's place?"
I could see that he was not friendly. Keszew had always been prejudiced against the Chinese guards. Although it was the Chinese character, I felt uncomfortable seeing him.
I nodded perfunctorily and glanced at the State Guesthouse, "I'll go back first!"
Keszew grabbed my arm and pretended to be friendly. "Don't worry, my Chinese friend.
I think there are some things that I have to make clear to you. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep! "
I asked impatiently, "What is it?"
Keszew absent-mindedly took out two cigarettes and handed one to me. He lit it up, scratched his head, and took a puff. "You know, Marisia talked back to me just now, and I almost got into a fight with her!"
I thought to myself, what does this have to do with me?
Marisia is Keszew's subordinate. Why did you tell me about the conflict between you two?
How baffling!
But I still asked perfunctorily, "Is that so?
Why did you get into a fight with Major Marisia?
It's hard to believe! "
Keszew coldly snorted and said, "Isn't it because of you!"
"Because of me?" I was surprised.
Keszew said unyieldingly, "That's right.
Marisia wanted to learn marksmanship from you, but I didn't agree.
Just like that, we got into a fight.
Advisor Zhao, I have to tell you that although we tied yesterday, according to my analysis, you were just lucky.
I don't believe that the skills of our country's guards are inferior to the skills of your Chinese people. I don't believe it! "
I saw that Keszew's arrogant nature was exposed, and I didn't want to waste my breath on him, so I declined, "Lieutenant Colonel Keszew, I don't want to comment on the matters between your country's guards. I'll take my leave first!"
