Chapter 14 Banquet

The young officer who was smiling all day long only looked a little depressed now.

Li Yunzong looked at him quietly and whispered: "My letter is tolerant to yours."

Chu Wanli stood up and smiled indifferently: "I had expected that his style was so different. He was somewhat thoughtful. We were all thrust into the head and bleeding. It would be better to try it here."

Li Yunzong remained calm: "I have promised to die for Lord Xu. I will rush wherever he points."

Chu Wanli looked at him: "You're determined?"

Li Yunzong adjusted his military cap again and turned his gaze away: "I think Lord Xu will not disappoint us. And you also know that I am not as thoughtful as you do."

He calmed down for a moment, then asked Chu Wanli: "Where are you?"

These two young men who were like-minded in Nanyang Academy looked at each other quietly. Chu Wanli smiled faintly: "Then there is no doubt. Let me look at it again. There is such a person in China. Maybe it is not necessarily the one who is really the one who serves. Whether the fundraising is successful or not is his mind, the key to our effectiveness. We all hope that he will succeed..."

After saying that, he turned around and left, and arrived at the door, but turned around and smiled: "Our adults have all made their reputations to Japan. What are you talking about with that Japanese?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the consulate signing room, only Xu Yifan and Toushanman sat quietly opposite each other.

The Japanese followed Xu Yifan all the way to the consulate. He talked and bowed, and was purely Chinese. But Xu Yifan was nervous.

This Japanese is really famous.

He was a samurai from the Satsuma clan. After the Meiji Restoration in Japan, he has been advocating Japan's destiny in East Asia. He believed that Japan was a natural choice to lead the rise of Asia. As a representative figure of this trend of thought, he combined with the huge ronin group in Japan at that time and right-wing conservative forces. He established a semi-public group such as the Qianyangshe. He has always been a pioneer of Japan's external expansion!

Over time, Xuanyang Society has already had a considerable influence in the Japanese government and opposition. The Black Dragon Society, which made East Asia talks scared, was just a branch left by Xuanyang Society!

The middle-aged Japanese man in front of him seemed to be elegant and elegant, but he didn't seem to be a samurai at all. He was not even equipped with a samurai sword. However, Xu Yifan knew about the deeds that Toyama Man had done before.

Threatening the Japanese Parliament to pass the army and naval budget, he tried to assassinate the Japanese Prime Minister who held a moderate route. He jumped up and down during the two North Korean incidents in 1882 and 1884. After the failure to disrupt the situation, he wrote letters to plan deeper and farther downward lines. He also advocated a ten-year military plan among the people, ready to fight in North Korea at any time.

In real history, he once returned with Sun Yat-sen to plan for Japan's century-old dominance in East Asia. Historical books published in the Republic of China once called him the foresighted patriot in East Asia!

Such a sinister, cunning spy chief was sitting opposite him, and no one was going to stand up.

Xu Jingyang left when Toushanman slightly signaled to talk to Xu Yifan alone. Before leaving, he just reminded Xu Yifan with his eyes.

Beware and beware of the thief!

Without Xu Jingyang's reminder, Xu Yifan's heart was also raised. He just sighed that the intelligence work of these Japanese pirates was really omnipresent. As soon as his European Games movie was released, plus the name of the Imperial Guards, these Japanese devils were afraid that they would have been nailed to themselves. Even the news that he had passed by Japan on the Zhiyuan number was clearly revealed!

Looking at Toushan's smile and silent look, he was also a little curious. What did this guy want to say to him?

Seeing Xu Yifan looking at him, Toushanman smiled and bowed to Xu Yifan.

"I'm very sorry, please consultant Xu leave. Actually, this is not a place to talk. I just want to send invitations to Mr. Xu, in Nagasaki Kushao Dojo, a countryman from the country, want to talk to Mr. Xu, a hero like Mr. Xu... If you have a fortune, you want to give it to Mr. Xu, that's all."

His smile was even more impeccable than Xu Yifan was used to. He formally took out a mud gold invitation from his arms and handed it to Xu Yifan with both hands.

Xu Yifan stood up and took it, and was a little stunned for a moment.

This Japanese acted like this and invited Xu Jingyang to the consulate. He only submitted an invitation to the meeting alone. He was a bit of a master of hard work. He also said to have a great wealth and honor to send him. What kind of wealth can Japan give him? With his current reputation, he is far from comparable to those important officials of the Qing Dynasty. With such a solemn invitation to win over a first-class person like Toushanman, what is the idea of ​​fighting?

He held the invitation and just pondered. He opened the post and read it. A Chinese book was smooth and neat. The Xuanyang Taoist temple was set up, which was the evening of that day. It seemed that these guys had already thought about it.

Toutanman just looked at him with a smile. Xu Yifan thought about it again and said with a smile: "Then I'll bother me. Mr. Toutan, thank you for your kind invitation."

Toushanman bowed again and stood up and smiled, "Sir, you will know our friendship today. Please don't leave yourself alone. I'm looking forward to your care."

After saying that, he turned around and left on his own.

Xu Yifan quietly compared his middle finger to his back, and snorted and left the signing room. Xu Jingyang bowed and left the door. He was rubbing his hands there, and seeing Xu Yifan come out, he hurriedly came over: "Mr. Xu, what did you say to you in this Toutan?"

Xu Yifan looked at him: "Why did Lord Xu leave just now? You would hear it if you don't leave? This is your consulate! Toutan didn't say anything to me, just asked me to go to Xuanyang Club to talk to you in the evening."

Xu Jingyang said to Xu Yifan with a embarrassed look: "Hehe... Lord Xu doesn't understand this diplomatic matter, and he is polite and kind, that's the first priority. But there is a saying that Lord Xu, this ronin in Xuanyang Society can make all kinds of tricks. Turning against him is a hooligan, we suffer too much... Lord Xu, I'm just a swear word."

Knowing that it was a hooligan, he asked him to go to the consulate and sat in the signing room to talk to the imperial commissioner. Xu Yifan was too lazy to pay attention to such a standard bureaucrat, so he bowed and said, "Brothers still have to settle down. I'm really tired of it, so I say goodbye."

Xu Jingyang just shook his head, watched Xu Yifan leave the second floor of the consulate, and whispered quietly behind his back: "I am really a 25-year-old imperial envoy, and I'm so embarrassed that I'm thrown away from abroad... I don't know what Zhongtang and the others think?"

When I arrived at my guest room, I saw Du Juan busy with her face flushed. The little girl was in good health. She was seasick and got angry all the way. She was helping Xu Yifan lay the bed sheets there, so busy that she was sweating on her forehead. When she heard Xu Yifan coming in, she immediately raised her face and smiled sweetly at him.

This time, Xu Yifan took her to Japan and went to Japan. The little girl from the countryside had never seen this. She also thought that Chen Luoshi was so busy that Xu Yifan had no time to take him from Beijing media, so she only took her out for this far away. Even though she had a good relationship with Chen Luoshi, she couldn't help but smile like a flower in private.

So when the master came in, he showed a girlish smile at him.

Seeing Yingying's beautiful woman smiling sweetly at her, Xu Yifan's mind was thrown away. It's only one benefit to travel to this era. Even if you are so close to each other outside, going home is definitely supreme. Of course, the premise is that you can afford it...

Seeing Du Juan wearing men's clothes and wearing green hats, busy there. Her chest was so aggrieved that she was tied tightly. She couldn't stop her youthful and energetic. Anyway, she still had some free days now. Should she take this opportunity to eat her pig?

I am in vain that I am carrying a lustful reputation, but I am still a virgin who has traveled through time...

As he thought in his heart, his eyes couldn't help but become a little evil. Du Juan looked up at the master's appearance. She was the original yellow girl, and she was young. Her heart trembled, and she took a few steps back while pinching the horns of the quilt. Her face suddenly turned red.

"You... have packed your things, the bed, and took out all the clothes you want to wear. Are you still... any more instructions?"

At this moment, the atmosphere is always fucking bad! Xu Yifan sighed helplessly, asking him to force a fifteen-year-old girl to join the chang, but he was really unable to do it. If the little girl could look charming at this time, half-lying on the bed and hook her fingers at him, he would probably have been half-pushed.

He could only sit down beside the bed and asked gently: "How do you feel when you arrive in Japan?"

Du Juan had a red face: "Just even if the warships were sitting, I wanted to vomit. The Japanese looked very poor. But in other people's territory, I always felt uneasy. It was better to be here on China Street... Today at the dock, why should the Japanese not allow us to get off the boat? You ordered those Goshha to line up and get off the boat together, and I followed behind. Our team was so neat, standing in front of them, and I was really angry!"

Xu Yifan smiled. Girls can have such thoughts. Why can't the princes in the court fight a little bit? He patted his side: "Come on, sit here... How about the master bringing you to the banquet today? Look at this Japanese scenery. Speaking of which, Luo Shi didn't catch up this time."

Du Juan had a red face, took two steps and took one step back, moving smaller than an ant. The closer he got, the redder his face became more and more like bleeding. His heart was even more pounding.

I won't be here... This is the territory of the Eastern Japanese. I will ask Luo Shi in the future, but why don't I laugh to death?

Xu Yifan looked at her extremely shy and helpless look. Her thoughts were fading, but the fire suddenly became louder. There was only one voice in her heart: "Come on, come on!"

Just when evil thoughts arise, the door is knocked. Du Juan is so shocked that she jumps far away. Xu Yifan sighs and drags his voice: "Come in!"

Is Zhang Yu, who was still full of a dying look on his face, bowed and reported: "Master, should we take down the food and food that these dozens of escorts eat every day? Or should we ask Mr. Du for it?"

It was a depressing thing to not eat the cuckoo. It was another depressing thing for dozens of members to chew and pay out of their own pockets. The two things were together, Xu Yifan's bigger sigh.

"Old Zhang, Lao Zhang, can't you choose a good time to come in?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night gradually enveloped inside and outside Nagasaki Port. Piles of boatmen and dock workers lined up to their collective dormitories. The swinging pipes and Namowen in front of each team were wearing factory uniforms, and took them through the road with great enthusiasm. The Japanese workers who had been working hard for a day were still tamely lined up in an orderly line, following one after another.

The black-soldier policemen lit the gas lampposts on the street one by one. The Japanese taverns on the roadside were brightly lit. What came from the inside was the Japanese walnuts with breath and tremolo, which the Chinese could not hear. The brothel area was lined with shoulder to shoulder on both sides of Nagasaki Street. What came from inside was the sound of the singer and the unrestrained laughter.

The Japanese rickshaw drivers wearing zithered clothes with their own names were neatly lined up on the roadside, waiting for the call of their customers. The Western-style carriages also swayed on the stone road, alarming the bells along the way. Some carriages had Chinese badges on them, and the Japanese people bowed deeply while giving way on the road. The Meiji Restoration has only been decades, and the remnants of these Chinese people were still deeply awe of these people.

Xu Yifan was wearing a long robe and a cap, and walked freely on the road with his hands behind his back. Behind him were Du Juan, Zhang Yu, Li Yunzong and Chu Wanli. He looked at the exotic scenery with interest. Two Japanese policemen followed them far away. I don’t know if they were responsible for protection or surveillance.

Looking at the shipyard workers who were working on the road, Xu Yifan turned around and smiled at Li Yunzong and Chu Wanli, "See, the people in this country have excellent obedience, and they look like an army when they pull it out. This is a great enemy, so be careful!"

Li Yunzong nodded slightly, and looked at everything in front of him with a cold look. Chu Wanli smiled and said, "Japan is a neat country, and his mind is easy to be in one place. But after all, it is small. As long as we don't have trouble, they can't waste our lives."

Xu Yifan was stunned and laughed: "What if something goes wrong?"

Chu Wanli looked around and said, "Maybe they will be bullied for a while, but unfortunately the snake swallows the giant elephant. If they know how to stop when they see it, it may be a little trouble. If they really overestimate their abilities, they will have to be beaten back to the island. But I think they are paranoid, I am afraid they don't understand these things."

Xu Yifan nodded and smiled. These two guys who worked for him. Chu Wanli was flexible in mind, had a clear mind, and was very quick to see things. Unfortunately, he was too slippery. If he wanted to return home, he would have to take some effort. Needless to say, Li Yunzong was serious and responsible, meticulous. He also decided to be aware of the truth and never looked back. However, he could use the general with confidence in the future. Only one aspect of his weapon system can be seen.

How did these two completely different people become friends?

He shook his head and waved to the rickshaw cars on the side of the road. The five cars lined up in front suddenly came as if they were flying.

Xu Yifan looked at them, and the coachmen were all standing with bows. They were wearing two zither clothes like white cloth, each with surnames such as Kishita and Nakamura. Behind them were the signatures of the Nagasaki Prefecture Police Station. They were covered with cow hoofs and rubber shoes with big thumbs and other toes separated from their toes. They were waiting respectfully for their orders.

Before Xu Yifan could speak, Chu Wanli had already spoken, and he actually used Japanese: "Go to Xuanyang Dojo!"

The five coachmen bowed at the same time and waited for them to sit on. The handbell suddenly rang and flew forward with their waists. The service attitude was absolutely first-class. Looking back, Du Juan pinched her little hand and looked around, unable to see her eyes. Looking back, the two Japanese policemen pressed their hats and followed behind with panting, doing their best.

These Japanese should not give them the opportunity to show their cruelty in other countries, but let them be cramped on this island and serve others well. In this way, it might be a blessing for this nation...

Five cars circled and walked along the street. In less than half an hour, they had already arrived in front of a great temple. In front of the thick gate, Toushanman and a few Japanese ronin who were in kimono, had already been waiting at the door. When they saw Xu Yifan's car arrive, they bowed from afar.

The five cars quickly stood firm, and the coachman jumped away and bowed. Waiting for Xu Yifan and the others to get out of the car. Xu Yifan turned around and smiled at Zhang Yu, "Reward!" Zhang Yu hurriedly handed them two silver dollars. These Mexican eagles were exchanged for two small Japanese yen. At that time, a skilled worker only earned about ten Japanese yen in a month. The five coachman looked at Ying Yang with wide eyes, and hurriedly bowed like a woodpecker. Xu Yifan had already walked towards Toushanban, and clasped his fists from afar and bowed: "Mr. Toushan, I'm here to be a villain!"

Toushanman smiled like a flower: "Mr. Xu is so on time, he will be so beautiful that he will be shining in the temple, and his true radiance will shine!"

The two of them smiled with their arms, as if they were friends for many years. Xu Yifan had already made up his mind about this inexplicable banquet. Anyway, I was just perfunctory and might be able to touch the reality of your Xuanyang Society. As for wealth, go to the ball. I am greedy for your little Japanese things?

The moment greetings, coupled with the Japanese's unique etiquette of bowing one sentence and one bow, the group entered the dojo with a smile.

The street lights were shining outside, but the temple was dark. The rockery was hidden in the dark. It had a unique stingy and exquisite pattern of the Japanese courtyard. Walking along the wooden corridor, the steps were knocking and echoing everywhere in the quiet temple. This atmosphere made the smile on the faces of the Japanese around me become gloomy. Zhang Yu, who followed Xu Yifan, quietly tensed his body and breathing became long and slow.

Another turn was brightly lit in front of me. The candlesticks in the open hall were shining brightly, and the Japanese dining table was arranged in a shape. Two white and pink geishas held Xianzi and watched them come and salute deeply.

On the table are hearty Japanese dishes, Kobe Frost Fall Beef, Tempura from Hashira, Osaka Oshi, Ryukyu tuna sashimi, Tamako, herring sushi, and on top of the vermilion tableware, they are full of place. Tooyama smiles unabashed, so he first soothed: "Please!"
