When Lu Chengzhou returned home in the afternoon, Zeng Zilian and Ma Yuzhen had already moved out.
With two people missing from the house, it suddenly became quieter.
However, Aunt Ma seemed a little disappointed, after all, she couldn't see her daughter every day.
"Aunt Ma, why are you cooking so many dishes today? Let's eat together?" Lu Chengzhou saw the usual four dishes and one soup and knew that Aunt Ma had forgotten that Zeng Zilian and Ma Yuzhen would not be eating at home tonight.
"I've already eaten in the kitchen." Aunt Ma abided by her duties. She was here to help Lu Chengzhou, not as a guest.
"You are always so outspoken." Lu Chengzhou said dissatisfied.
Just as he was preparing to eat, he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door outside.
Lu Chengzhou was very surprised. Could it be that Zeng Zilian and Ma Yuzhen came back in a hurry?
When he opened the door, he saw Ryoichi Nakayama, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Zhongshan Jun, when did you come back?" Lu Chengzhou immediately showed a "sincere" smile. Zhongshan Liangyi joined the field force and went to Jidong to encircle and suppress the anti-Japanese coalition forces.
Before Zhongshan Liangyi left, Lu Chengzhou was the one who saw him off.
"I have been back for a few days and have been busy with military affairs. I only have time to see you today." Nakayama Ryoichi said with a smile.
He was assigned to the General Affairs Section of the Military Police because of his involvement in the No. 1 team.
At that time, only Lu Chengzhou visited him, invited him to drink and gave him tea.
Before going to Jidong, Lu Chengzhou specially practiced it for him.
"Please come in quickly. It's a great honor for Mr. Zhongshan to come." Lu Chengzhou quickly stepped aside and invited Mr. Zhongshan to come in.
Looking at Zhongshan Liangyi's back, Lu Chengzhou then closed the door.
"It's really early, why not come by chance." Nakayama Ryoichi walked in, saw the food on the table, and said with a smile.
"Zhongshan Jun hasn't eaten yet? The house is too shabby, let's go out to eat." Lu Chengzhou said hurriedly.
Although he likes to eat the food cooked by Aunt Ma, who knows if Nakayama Ryoichi will like it too?
Japanese people are moody, and if they offend Nakayama Ryoichi over a meal, it would be too bad.
"No, I just like to eat home-cooked meals." Nakayama Ryoichi is an authentic China connoisseur. Not only can he speak Chinese fluently, but he also has extensive research on Chinese culture and food.
"Okay, Aunt Ma, bring me some more bowls and chopsticks." Lu Chengzhou didn't persuade her again.
He had been thinking in his mind what Nakayama Ryoichi's intention was when he came to see him.
As a lurker, Lu Chengzhou is thinking about the mission all the time.
Nakayama Ryoichi was originally the captain of the British Concession Military Police Unit. Although he worked in the field for a period of time, he believed that Nakayama Ryoichi would return to his old job.
Intelligence work is a job that requires professional skills, and the Japanese will not really throw talents like Nakayama Ryoichi into the field troops.
"These dishes are so delicious." After trying the dishes, Nakayama Liangyi was full of praise for Aunt Ma's cooking.
"Have a drink to celebrate Lord Zhongshan's triumphant return." Lu Chengzhou brought a bottle of Japanese sake.
Although he doesn't think these sakes are delicious, those narrow-minded Japanese people stubbornly believe that Japanese sake is the best in the world.
In order to cope with possible scenes, Lu Chengzhou prepared some sake at home, which finally came in use today.
"Okay." After Nakayama Ryoichi came back, he had no special tasks and seemed very relaxed.
"Zhongshan Jun, can you tell me about your heroic actions on the battlefield?" Lu Chengzhou asked with admiration.
Although he was very disgusted with what he said.
However, Japanese people like to listen.
Flattery can shorten the distance between people.
As long as it was beneficial to the mission, Lu Chengzhou didn't mind saying anything disgusting.
"I am operating with the headquarters as a combat staff officer. I really have nothing to say." Nakayama Ryoichi shook his head.
During his expedition, the Japanese army continued to win, which was naturally a very proud thing.
But Nakayama Ryoichi kept in mind the discipline of the Japanese army. Lu Chengzhou was Chinese, how could he reveal to him what happened to the Japanese army on the battlefield?
The reason why Nakayama Liangyi came to Lu Chengzhou's family was purely a courtesy visit.
Lu Chengzhou gave him enough respect when he was lost, which made him very touched at the time.
Nakayama Ryoichi took the initiative to join the field army because he wanted to punish himself.
However, after he arrived in the army, he felt good and gave full play to his role as an intelligence officer.
Nakayama Ryoichi also wanted to experience the feeling of fighting on the battlefield. However, after he entered the army, he was quickly transferred to the combat section.
"Zhongshan Jun is an all-rounder. He can use his talents no matter where he is." Lu Chengzhou said flatteringly.
He knew that Nakayama Ryoichi was very tight-lipped, but he still heard some news when he had a drink with Nakayama Ryoichi last time.
"Really?" Nakayama Ryoichi smiled proudly. He was indeed very proud of being given such a "fair" evaluation by others.
"I hope that Mr. Nakayama can still return to the military police detachment. Only when you are here can we truly attack the military command and the underground party. Nozaki-kun, no." Lu Chengzhou poured a glass of wine for Mr. Nakayama and sighed.
Lu Chengzhou was right, the military control of North China was taken away by Zhongshan Liangyi.
After Nozaki took office, neither the military nor the underground party made any progress.
"Do you want me to return to the military police?" Nakayama Ryoichi asked.
"Of course, we have cooperated for so many years. In terms of ability, you are the one." Lu Chengzhou gave Zhongshan Ryoichi a thumbs up and said sincerely.
"In the future, we will have opportunities to cooperate." Nakayama Ryoichi said slowly.
His words moved Lu Chengzhou's heart.
Nakayama Ryoichi was in a happy mood, and the two of them had already drank almost a bottle of sake.
At this time, it is still possible for Nakayama Ryoichi to say something intimate.
"I'm looking forward to this moment." Lu Chengzhou stood up, raised his glass, and drank it in one sip.
"Wait a minute, do you still want to go to work?" Nakayama Ryoichi suddenly asked.
"Since Mr. Zhongshan is here, I won't go. I'll ask for leave first." Lu Chengzhou shook his head, picked up the phone next to him, and asked for leave from the military police unit.
"I specially came to visit today to thank Mr. Lu for his previous visits. I would like to offer you this glass of wine." Nakayama Liangyi raised his glass and said sincerely.
After he was demoted to the General Affairs Section, no one from the military police detachment except Lu Chengzhou visited him.
Lu Chengzhou's actions moved him very much.
"Don't dare." Lu Chengzhou quickly stood up.
"To tell you the truth, although I will not return to the military police unit, my job is to cooperate with your actions." Nakayama Ryoichi said suddenly.
After returning to Haigu, he was given a new task by his superiors.
This mission will be announced soon. Telling Lu Chengzhou now does not count as leaking the secret.
"How can you be the one cooperating with our actions? No matter when, I am the one cooperating with Mr. Zhongshan's actions." Lu Chengzhou said humbly.
