The orderly then whispered: "That Japanese Yama Takashi, she brought a beautiful girl with her. I'm afraid it's for our brigadier. " Fa Ming asked in shock, "Is this the Japanese girl that Yama Takashi brought?"
The orderly smiled and said, "Master, you don't know about this. The Japanese are indistinguishable from the Chinese. If you wear the same clothes and say the same words, no one can tell whether you are Japanese or Chinese. The girls that Yama Takashi sent over all wore Chinese clothes and spoke Chinese. Some of them could even sing Beijing opera. "It's not easy to tell the difference between a westerner and a westerner."
Fa Ming asked again: "Are you allowed to bring women into the army camp as you please?" The orderly said, "No. The discipline was reserved for junior officers and soldiers. The superior officer did not observe this discipline. The officers always brought in women in the name of singing and dancing. " Fa Ming asked again: What is Yama Takashi doing here?
The orderly thought about it and said, "If you want to know what he does, he has his own business to do. He has his own business to do. He also has his own business to do. Yama Takashi is most likely here to do business with our brigade commander, to cooperate with him, etc. He's always trying to please our brigadier. He didn't come this time for the past. He asked our brigade commander to help him get someone out. This man was also a prisoner in custody. The original chief of the guard, Xu Shuzheng, was sent back to War Department to be promoted. The new head of the hall was Cao Rui, a person who was difficult to deal with. He has a good relationship with our brigadier. Yama Takashi didn't know how he found out, so he came over from Beijing to find our captain to help him. I heard it in their words. "
The two of them were talking non-stop when Xi Que returned. Xi Que said to the soldier: "Pang Hai, why haven't you cooked a proper meal for master yet? I thought you did it neatly. " Pang Hai panicked. "I was too focused on talking that I forgot about the food." You set up the table, and I'll get the food. " After which, he ran out.
Xi Que sat down and said: "I was wondering what Yama Takashi had lost, and thought that it had something to do with Guo Chengliang. They wanted to find out from Guo Chengliang what it was that had lost."
Hearing that, Fa Ming immediately thought that Yama Takashi was looking for the "international purple-white plate". Fa Ming thought: "Why does the Japanese say that the treasure is related to Guo Chengliang?" He began to worry as he pondered. Fa Ming asked again: "Did your leader agree to help him?"
Xi Que asked: "Where is the Commander Guo being locked up? How does he help him? I heard the brigade commander say to him, "Guo Chengliang was originally a member of Shen Yang's Grand Commander'S Estate. Now, Zhang Zuolin was involved in this matter. I can't interfere as I please. ' Hearing that, Yama Takashi kept on pestering her, telling her that he had to personally appear. "
Fa Ming was very worried, afraid that Guo Chengliang would fall into the hands of the Japanese. He was not at ease, and said to Xi Que: "Guo Chengliang is a good person, we cannot let him fall into the hands of the Japanese. The thing that Yama Takashi wanted to investigate was important. This Yama Takashi is not a simple businessman, he must be a special agent. "
Xi Que sighed: "So what if Guo Chengliang is a good person. We are not helpless to help. This place is far away from Beijing, and we have no power, no power, and no way to interfere with it. "
At this moment, the soldier Pang Hai brought the banquet over. Xi Que quickly helped to arrange the tables and chairs. Pang Hai replied, "The brigadier also has a guest. He will definitely not return." Let's accompany Master for a meal. " After arranging the noodles, the two of them carried Fa Ming to sit, and the three of them sat down to talk about their hometown.
Pang Hai poured some wine for Fa Ming, and said: "This is the good wine that I've just provided to the officers, there's a case full of it. The wine was sweet and delicious. Tomorrow, I will go to the Bai Family to buy chickens for Master to eat. " Xi Que laughed: "You are making a monk eat meat, don't you think Master can eat meat?"
Pang Hai said, "This is not a temple. What's the point of eating a chicken! We still have to borrow some light. "
Fa Ming said: "If that's the case, then you can buy it. I don't want to eat while you two eat. Actually, I'd better. With rice and vegetables. "Drinking today is already a broken ring."
Pang Hai replied, "It's not that." It should have been the meat and wine that passed through his intestines. I often see families in restaurants, eating meat and drinking wine. "
Xi Que also said: "Actually, all martial arts are set by humans. Why can't you eat meat? The rules should be changed. " Pang Hai said, "Not today. Tomorrow, I will definitely buy ten chickens, ten ducks, and ten geese for Master to eat to his heart's content."
The three of them were chatting happily when the staff officer came over in a hurry, "Someone from War Department has arrived. "All of you, go and find the Brigade Commander." He then said to Fa Ming, "Master, I'm sorry to disturb your meal. I'm going to accompany the officer and we'll talk another day. " The staff officer hurried off again.
Xi Que said: "The captain must have gone back to his room to accompany the guests. Go look for him at the back." Pang Hai suddenly said, "Those concubines are all annoyed with me for being ugly. If I go, they'll still have to hide. "You're so handsome, why don't you go." Xi Que laughed: "Hiding what? That's called evasion. It's not that you're ugly. None of them avoided me. Accompany your Master, I'll go find the Brigade Commander. " Xi Que got up and left.
The moment Xi Que walked out of the door, Pang Hai said with a teary smile, "I said that on purpose. Let him go find it. We, the brigadier, are most afraid of being disturbed. If anything went wrong, he would either scold or scold. I expected the brigade leader to be having a drink with Yama Takashi at this time. Let him be cursed at. " After that, he poured some wine for Fa Ming and the two continued their conversation.
Xi Que came to the back of the house and saw Wu Peifu and Yama Takashi drinking wine together. That beautiful lady was full of affection as she courteously poured wine for the two of them. Xi Que did not dare to disturb her as he stood there. Wu Peifu drank with Yama Takashi while looking at the beautiful young miss.
Seeing that, Yama Takashi laughed out loud: "Old friend, if you like, I, this young miss, can stay by your side." Wu Peifu also laughed: "You really are my close friend! Recently, I took a walk, is suffering no one to accompany me. Every night was boring. I can be accompanied by this beautiful young lady, so I don't think about that anymore. Thank you, sir! "Let me toast you again!" The two of them joyously raised their wine glasses and began to drink.
After drinking a few cups, Yama Takashi thought that Wu Peifu would be drunk and thus stopped drinking. "Old friend: Do you want to reconsider the matter that I asked of you?" Hearing that, Wu Peifu immediately smiled.
Yama Takashi continued: "I believe that with your relationship with Cao Rui, you will definitely be able to accomplish this. Actually, I only beg you to bring him out and give him to me for a day or two. Then, if you return him without anyone knowing, wouldn't that be the end of it? Doing this sort of thing would be a simple task for you. "
Wu Peifu said: "This matter is extremely important, I cannot agree to it. Firstly, he was the leader of the President, and secondly, he was Zhang Zuolin's man. I can't afford to offend either of them. Once things go wrong and the news goes away, I'll lose my position and be executed. Furthermore, they said that they were not being held in the Guardian Office. How do you want me to help you? "
Yama Takashi laughed sinisterly: "I naturally know where people are locked up. It'll depend on whether you can sincerely help me or not. "
Wu Peifu continued, "It's not that I'm not friends enough, but I know of our friendship. I can't help you. Now that I'm in Zhuozhou and Cao Kun is in Langfang, he can't even stand on his feet. We are the old marshal Feng Guozhang's people in Nanjing, and we are very disappointed in the government. Now that the national government is in the hands of Duan Qirui and the others, they view us as thorn in their side, as they try to find an excuse to kick us out. "I can't let them find out for my own benefit."
After Wu Peifu finished speaking, Yama Takashi was still not giving up. Yama Takashi continued: "The two of you Cao Wu are influential people. Who didn't know? The War Department values you, and the President views you in a different light. How can you be ostracized? What a joke! "
Wu Peifu helplessly continued, "Don't praise me anymore, I know my own abilities. I'm in town on business now, and I can't get anything done. With the War Department in Duan Qirui's hands, they had come to us a few times in all sorts of names. It is only now that the Elder Feng of Nanjing intervened from the center that we can settle down here. Who knows when Xu Shuzheng will come and chase us away. I don't have the energy to meddle in other matters. " Yama Takashi was greatly disappointed upon hearing this.
Wu Peifu continued: Aren't you Japanese supposed to be close to Duan Qirui? "Why not ask them for help?"
Yama Takashi said: "Who said we were keeping secrets from them? Rumors! We're just ordinary relations. The Japanese come to do business in China, and if they want to gain a foothold, they have to rely on you Chinese officials. We have no intention of making friends with you. We have also looked for Duan Qirui and the others. "None of them are as good as you in handling matters with Cao Rui."
After Yama Takashi finished speaking, he pretended to be honest and waited for Wu Peifu's reply.
Wu Peifu's eyes turned, wanting to get rid of him. He asked Xi Que: "What are you here for? "Go ahead." Xi Que immediately stood at attention and reported: "Sir, someone from War Department has arrived. The staff officer is looking for you. " Wu Peifu left his seat and scolded: "These pampered servants, they must be here to chase me away again." He turned around and said goodbye to Yama Takashi, then left while cursing.
Wu Peifu came to the living room, and saw that it was the second elder of War Department, Xu Shuzheng. Wu Peifu calmed his anger and said: "I've made my officer wait for a long time! "Sin, sin!"
Xu Shuzheng said: "Brother Wu is busy with military matters, little brother understands. Actually, I just got here. Please do not be so polite, brother. " Just as the two of them sat down, because Wu Peifu had drank enough, he became a little irrational and asked: "Captain Xu, what new instructions do you have for us?"
Xu Shuzheng immediately stood up from his seat and said, "This little brother just came over from General Cao Kun's place. I came to you on the orders of both the President and the War Department. The President ordered the two of you to lead this division to the Xuzhou and Zhengzhou to set up defenses. I have come to an agreement with General Cao. He has decided to immediately move his teacher and set off. It will be up to you, General. "
