After entering the consulate, Oda Chee's attitude was still very affectionate. He immediately ordered the consulate's kitchen to prepare wine and dishes and drink some drinks with Li Sanjie. It was obviously a deep understanding of Chinese dining table culture. Then he said to Li Sanjie: "I don't know if Mr. Li has eaten Japanese food. If I'm not used to it, I can let the kitchen cook Chinese food."

Li Sanjie smiled and said, "Let's follow the customs. I hope to eat Japanese sushi. The Consul does not know if it can satisfy my wish." In fact, Li Sanjie didn't care about what he had eaten. He had eaten sushi several times in the old time and space, but he always paid for it. He felt that the taste was just that. However, he ordered to eat the other party's hometown dishes. This was a way to win the other party's favor. After all, this time he came to discuss cooperation with the Japanese.

Sure enough, Oda Chee was a little surprised at first, but he felt good about Li Sanjie and smiled and said, "Please don't worry, Mr. Li. Our consulate has the best sushi chef in Japan, so Mr. Li will not disappoint Mr. Li, please."

As he said that, Odaki led Li Sanjie to a very exquisite Kawai room. The cushions and Japanese small tables had been arranged. In the corner of Kawai room, there were two Japanese geishas in kimonos, one of whom was holding a pipa. When they saw the two of them coming in, they immediately knelt on the ground to salute them. Looking at the pose, it was obvious that they had prepared before Li Sanjie came.

It turned out that before Li Sanjie arrived, Huo Bilan did send a telegram to the Japanese consulate, saying that overseas Chinese hoped to join forces with Japan to fight against Russia's southward advance, and hoped that Oda Chee could negotiate with the representatives of overseas Chinese. Without further ado, Oda Chee understood what was going on and was immediately ecstatic. Since the Russian army decided to go south, although it did not directly use troops to the Korean Peninsula, it still put huge pressure on Japan, because once the Russian army captured Beijing, it might force Britain to make concessions to Russia and allow Russia to expand on the Korean Peninsula. Without the support of Britain, Japan would not dare to force Russia to force Russia to fight against Russia. After all, Russia is still a giant, and Japan dares to be provoked easily. Moreover, the British consul conveyed this news to Japan, which also showed that the British did not intend to concessions to Russia; at the same time, it also found a capable ally for Japan, so it was really great news.

After the two of them sat down, two young maids in kimonos immediately brought them Japanese cuisine and sake, put the dishes on the small table, and poured them some good wine for them, but did not leave, but knelt on the side and waited.

Because he was right next to him, Li Sanjie also smelled a fresh fragrance while waiting for the women, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little bit of thought in his mind.

During the time travel, Li Sanjie had just turned 40 years old and was not too old. When he was young, it was the era when Teacher Cang was popular in the online world. Li Sanjie naturally could not be disrespectful. On his computer, there are still several artistic films starring Teacher Cang, two of which are the tempting kimono.

After traveling to this era, Li Sanjie was also full of expectations for the better life of this era, and even once had the ambition of "Rolling the Han flag on the Fuji Mountains and Drunking the concubine under the cherry blossom trees". However, Li Sanjie was a middle-aged man after all, and in the old time and space, he had been working in the system for a long time. Therefore, he quickly adjusted his mentality, gave up these unrealistic illusions, and devoted himself to the new work of this era. After all, this era provided Li Sanjie with the opportunity that he could not even think about in the old time and space. How could he not grasp it well? Moreover, as long as a man has a successful career, isn't everything else easy to get?

But at this moment, at least part of the illusion in the past seemed to be right in front of you, reaching your hand. But just now, the two maids who were serving were in plain appearance and tight kimono, not even showing their necks, and there was no trace of the kimono seductive charm of Teacher Cang. However, they were probably just ingredients, and the two geishas kneeling in the corner of the house seemed to be the main course. Although their faces were facing the ground and they couldn't see clearly, their pink neck was obviously much more open than the two maids. Maybe they would really play the temptation of kimono in a while.

Just as Li Sanjie was thinking about it, Oda Keiki raised his wine glass to Li Sanjie and said, "Mr. Li, come and compensate us for the sake of Japan."

Li Sanjie nodded, raised his wine glass, fucked it for a moment, then drank it all, and then ate another ball of kelp rice. At this time, Oda Chek gently slammed his high-high, and saw the two geishas kneeling on the corner of the house straightened up like this, and finally revealed their true face. However, when he saw it, he was almost scared to let Li Sanjie spit out the wine he had drunk.

It turned out that the two geishas had some powder on their faces, which were snow-white, but their eyes and lips were stained with bright red like blood. At first glance, they looked like zombies. In fact, such painting was the traditional makeup of Japanese geishas, ​​and they were not intended to scare Li Sanjie, because there were no electric lights in the past, but they were all candles. Only by painting such makeup for night performances can people look more beautiful. Unfortunately, there were already electric lights in this era.

Then a geisha picked up the pipa and played it "crazyly", while another geisha got up and held a folding fan, singing Japanese songs while dancing. However, the performance of the geisha completely broke the last illusion of Li Sanjie. The string rate of the music was strange. Although the sound was good, the singing style was ups and downs. But it felt strange no matter how you listened, it was somewhat similar to the drama. The dance posture was the middle rule, but the rhythm and movement were slow, and the dancing geisha had a mediocre figure, so it really couldn't arouse the excitement of Li Sanjie. I didn't expect that Teacher Cang's predecessors would have such a big gap.

However, he looked at Oda Cheung and saw that his eyes were slightly closed, and his fingers tapped on the small table with the rhythm of music, making him look drunk, so Li Sanjie had to act like he was listening carefully.

In fact, in Japan, geisha is not a prostitute, but a kind of woman engaged in performing arts. Although some geisha communicate with guests physically, they mainly rely on personal talent performances to survive. A few well-known geishas will still have a high reputation. Many of the wives of the geisha in Japan are born in geisha, such as Matsushita, the wife of Takayun Kido, one of the three restorations, and Meiko, the wife of Ito Hirofumi, which is quite similar to China.

After finally waiting for the end of the song, Li Sanjie coughed gently. Oda Cho was used to seeing the winks. When he saw Li Sanjie's expression, he knew that he was going to talk about serious matters. However, he was quite impressed by Li Sanjie's determination. It turned out that these two geishas were not staff members of the consulate. They opened a hotel in Shanghai in Japan to invite artists from Japan. They are also well-known geishas in Japan, with both sexes and arts. If the consulate hosts important guests, they will be invited to attend the performance.

Previously, Oda Kei hosted several banquets for Qing officials and invited the two to attend the performance. Many guests were fascinated by their sex skills. Many people even told Oda Kei that they hoped to have a deeper exchange with these two geishas. Of course, a few people were not moved by women, but during the entire performance, they all had a stern face, looked squinting, and couldn't get into the salt.

However, Li Sanjie looked calm and acted naturally, as if he was unaffected. He was obviously used to seeing big scenes. He had never seen such a person among the officials of the Qing Dynasty, but he didn't know what kind of beauty and spicy dance Li Sanjie had never seen in the old time and space. How could he be influenced by the performances of these two women who were wearing zombies like makeup!

So Oda Kei waved his hand, and the geishas bowed to the two of them, and then retreated. After pouring a glass of wine for the two of them, they also left the Kawai room. Oda Kei looked at Li Sanjie and waited for him to speak.

Li Sanjie said: "Consul Oda, I'll just talk straight. You should have known the news that Russia has decided to send troops south."

Oda Ke nodded and said, "Of course I know."

Li Sanjie said: "So how do you think of Russia's advance this time?"

Oda Choi said: "We in Japan are very angry at Russia's barbaric invasion of the Qing Dynasty, and appreciate your loyalty and righteous behavior. The hope of the Qing Dynasty should be on you. As the Qing's friendly neighbor in Asia, we are also very willing to provide necessary help to resist the Russian army's invasion."

Li Sanjie said: "Sir, I would like to make a little correction to what you said just now. Japan is not helping us resist the Russian army, but defending its own national interests."

Odagiri's face showed a look of surprise and said, "Mr. Li, I don't understand what you mean. Now all the land occupied by Russia is the Qing Dynasty and has not invaded Japan's territory. Therefore, we Japan do not need to defend our national interests."

Li Sanjie cursed in his heart that the little Japanese was indeed cunning. It was obvious that he had a convenient position, but he still had to take the opportunity to suffer a great loss. It seemed that he wanted to take the opportunity to speak up, slaughter a fierce time traveler and cut a large piece of meat. But of course he would not let them get what they wanted. Therefore, he said: "Mr. Consul, we are all politicians, and now we are only private talks. Everyone knows the situation of each other, so there is no need to play such tricks of striking or playing hard to get. Russia's occupation of China's three northeastern provinces has indeed posed a huge threat to China, but the pressure faced by Japan is probably not smaller than that of China. Therefore, we have the same interests as Japan in confronting Russia, and it is not a question of who helps whom."
