The sun is turning to the west, and Dawangzhuang is right in front of you.
Guan Xiyi, who worked hard, breathed a sigh of relief and finally arrived at the place.
Along the way, the unlucky donkey got hungry at first and ate weeds for less than half an hour. After it had eaten and drank enough, it got into a bad temper and refused to leave.
Guan Xiyi became angry and beat her hard. My dear, the donkey was frightened and started running wildly while pulling the cart. If Fu Yunzhao hadn't stopped the donkey, it would have overturned.
Later, Fu Yunzhao found a way. The little white snake jumped out of the bag and sat on the donkey's back. The donkey immediately calmed down. It wandered all the way and left the city before twelve o'clock at noon. It was almost three o'clock now.
The distance from Jinmen to Dawangzhuang is only five or six miles, even if it is on foot, I am afraid that everyone would have arrived long ago.
Guan Xiyi muttered angrily: "Stupid donkey! I will kill you and burn you when you turn around!"
No need to ask for directions, Ni Qiufeng had been to Dawangzhuang before and gave some directions, and the donkey cart stopped in front of a small courtyard.
Ni Qiufeng got out of the car first and called the door. After a while, a child came out of the house. The child was only three or four years old and had a tiger-like head. He blinked at Ni Qiufeng and asked in a sweet voice, "Who are you looking for?"
Ni Qiufeng said softly: "Xiaohu, is your grandma at home?"
Xiaohu nodded and shouted: "Grandma, there is a beautiful aunt looking for you!"
Before the old lady came out, a man in his twenties came out. When he saw Ni Qiufeng, he smiled and rolled his eyes: "Hey, Miss Qiufeng, you are here again? Come in quickly, come in quickly."
When the door curtain was raised, the old lady came out of the house, rolled her eyes at her son, and looked up to see Ni Qiufeng standing at the door with an unknown girl.
"Girl Qiufeng, what are you..."
At this moment, Fu Yunzhao came over and shouted: "Old lady, I'm here to see you."
When the old lady saw Fu Yunzhao, she was overjoyed and said, "Girl, you promised well. It will be the Chinese New Year in three months, and you just thought of coming to see me today. Where is Mr. Fei who is with you?"
Fu Yunzhao pursed his lips: "Old lady, brother Jingting is injured."
"Injured?" The old lady was shocked: "Mr. Fei has profound cultivation, who can hurt him?"
"It's hard to explain in a word. In short, brother Jingting was plotted by the Japanese. Now the Japanese are forcing the Jinmen Yamen to look for brother Jingting everywhere. Old lady, we are here to hide from disaster."
The old lady immediately said: "There is no disaster. If you think about the old lady when you are in trouble, it means that you, the girl, do not regard the old lady as an outsider. Where is Mr. Fei and his wife? Send them in quickly, and I will let my son clean up the room."
The old lady's courtyard is not big, but the house is not small. There are three main rooms and six side rooms. She and her son's family had lived in the main house before, and the side rooms were all used as utility rooms. It would not be a problem to clear them out to accommodate a few more people.
The old lady's son was dazzled by several beautiful women. He stood there looking at this and that without saying a word, just standing there having fun.
The old lady looked old-fashioned and slapped her: "What are you looking at? Go and clean up the wing!"
The old lady's son agreed, rubbed the back of his head with a silly smile, and then started to move to the side room.
This time without the help of the little white snake, Fu Yunzhao, who had recovered, carried Fei Jingting into the house. After settling down, the old lady looked at the unconscious Fei Jingting and asked in confusion: "This... this
...How could this be so?”
The image of Fei Jingting is much better than before. However, the skin on his body is still a little charred, his hair and eyebrows are completely gone, and his face is half white and tender, half as usual, like a yin and yang face. With his eyes closed, his chest rises and falls much more powerfully than before.
Fu Yunzhao gave a brief summary, which immediately made the old lady very angry.
"The Japanese who are suffering from the plague should not do human affairs! In the year of Gengzi, the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied Tianjin, and these Japanese were the most vicious."
Although scolding, the old lady did not say harsh words. She was a shaman, and her cultivation was limited. Even a master of Taoism like Fei Jingting was poisoned, and she would have died in vain in the past.
The old lady lowered her head and observed, and said, "I see that Mr. Fei is breathing hard, and I think it won't take long for him to wake up. Girls... you don't have to worry too much."
The old lady looked at the women, big and small, and secretly complained in her heart that Mr. Fei was good at everything, but he was too much of a womanizer. Look at this room, except for the little girl, I'm afraid the other three women are also following him.
Mr. Fei is not sure.
Fu Yunzhao introduced the rest of the people. After greetings, Fu Yunzhao went over to hug the old lady's arm and said sweetly: "Old lady, we left in such a hurry that we didn't even have lunch."
"You haven't eaten yet?" the old lady said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask my daughter-in-law to show you my skills."
The old lady went out to eat. Guan Xiyi looked at Fei Jingting with concern, and then asked: "Do you think... should you leave some money for the old lady? I think their family's life is ordinary."
Fu Yunzhao didn't understand these worldly things, so Ni Qiufeng said: "I think it's better to keep some... Don't give it directly to the old lady. When you have time, give it directly to the old lady's daughter-in-law. Her son looks like a fool, I'm afraid he's not
People who live their lives.”
"Um."
…………………………
Snapped!
"idiot!"
"Hayi!"
Snap!
"idiot!"
"Feel sorry!"
Kashii Kohei's glasses were flying off, and every time he was slapped, he bowed and apologized.
His cheeks were red and swollen, and he always kept his bow. He looked up at the furious Nanjiro and said, "Your Excellency, please give me another chance. I will definitely..."
"From June to now, how many opportunities have I given you?" Nanjiro said sharply: "You said Fei Jingting left Jinmen, okay, then wait for him to come back. Now that he is back, you promise me
, saying that they must have been destroyed without anyone noticing...did they eliminate it?"
"I'm sorry... I misestimated Fei Jingting's strength, and also overestimated the Onmyoji of the Tsuchimikado family."
"The Tsuchimikado family, and the Abe family, these onmyoji families have long since declined. Your mistake is that you should not have placed your hopes on these decadent onmyoji families."
"Hayi!"
Nanjiro walked around anxiously a few times, took off his white gloves and threw them on the table, saying: "Now that we have alerted the enemy, Fei Jingting has gone into hiding. China's bureaucrats are very cunning. They will agree to anything on the surface, but in fact they will do anything."
No. It's almost dark now, do you still expect the Chinese to send Fei Jingting over?"
"I've already started..."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a staff officer pushed the door open and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, Consul General Yoshida Shigeru is here."
Nanjiro frowned: "At this time...what are the guys from the navy doing here? Are they coming to see the excitement of our army?"
After a pause, Nanjiro waved his hand: "Invite him in."
He pointed at Kashii Kohei who bowed to admit his mistake. He didn't say anything for a long time. He put down his hand and Nanjiro sighed and said: "Kashii-kun, you should consider going to the reserve service. You must give an explanation to the military headquarters.
"
Kashii Kohei felt lost for a while. What is the difference between going to the reserves and being forced to retire? Japan's reserves are used to place officers who have made mistakes or are inactive. The pay is low and there is almost no promotion.
"Hai, I understand...please allow me to go back and write my resignation."
Nanjiro waved his hands and said nothing more. Kashii Kohei bowed and saluted, and left the office calmly.
After a while, the staff officer led Shigeru Yoshida in.
Nanjiro stood up to greet him and said, "Consul General Yoshida, why are you here to garrison troops today?"
"Your Excellency, Commander, sending troops to force Jinmen Yamen, how could you agree to such a thing?"
Nanjiro said unhurriedly: "That guy named Fei Jingting sneaked into the military camp and caused huge losses to the garrison. Three guests were killed, and seven imperial soldiers were poisoned. Yoshida-kun, please change
You are me, how should you deal with it?"
Yoshida Shigeru said: "This kind of thing requires evidence, but as far as I know, the garrison army has no evidence and seems to have forcibly determined that the infiltrator was Fei Jingting."
"Do you need evidence for this kind of thing?" Nanjiro said contemptuously.
"Commander, please remember your identity. You are the commander of the garrison army, not the commander of the dispatched army. The empire has not yet fully conquered China. If something like this happens at this time, it will only damage the empire's reputation in the international community.
damage!"
Nanjiro snorted disapprovingly.
Yoshida Shigeru continued: "The dispatch of the garrison troops has alarmed the consuls of various countries. Just an hour ago, the consuls of Britain, France, and the United States all inquired about the matter and expressed strong concern. Even the top figures in Beiyang were beaten
Call me and ask."
After a pause, he said, "Your Excellency, Commander, I understand how you feel now, but please also consider the great cause of the empire and don't do such reckless things again!"
At first, the Japanese naively thought that the Anglo-Japanese alliance would rely on the lap of the world's most powerful country. But gradually they discovered that something was wrong.
After the Russo-Japanese War, the great powers intervened and returned to Liaoning. The Paris Peace Conference finally transferred the rights and interests of Jiao'ao to Japan, but Gu Weijun of Beiyang refused to sign. The great powers, especially the British, were extremely ambiguous and did not urge Beiyang to fulfill its obligations.
The peace treaty will not continue to support Japan in the international community.
Insightful people in Japan have long figured out that the so-called Anglo-Japanese alliance is only an alliance when dealing with the Russians. At other times, the British can make as many calculations as they want.
Whenever Japan shows the slightest intention of expanding its power in China, it will be attacked mercilessly by Britain.
At this time, the local situation was not good either.
After the European War, the great powers quickly restored people's livelihood industries, and the industry that Japan had finally developed was severely hit. In order to seize the Chinese market, Japan supported agents in Beiyang, and fought against the Kuomintang and the opposition within Beiyang.
Not open to trade.
As a diplomat, Yoshida Shigeru knew very well that Japan's behavior at this time was too arrogant, which would only lead to suppression of Japan by the international community.
What is even more troublesome for Yoshida Shigeru is that according to reliable information, the trend that has lasted for several months has become more and more intense recently. The turmoil is likely to be used by the Beiyang opposition to oust the agents supported by Japan.
Yoshida Shigeru stood up and said angrily: "If this kind of thing happens in the future, please let diplomats handle it. Soldiers only need to obey orders and don't act randomly!" (To be continued)
