Chapter 892: Asking the Qingmu Twins for an Explanation
As the saying goes, there is nothing wrong without going to the Three Treasures Palace.
Wang Manxue wanted to laugh in her heart, and said bluntly:
"Xiang Ying! Why are you asking me about Chu Xi?"
Xiang Ying smiled and said, "Chu Xi is Xiang Chu. You, Song Xi, Kong Ling, and Ning Caiwei always played mahjong with him in the Political Department, right? You must have some information about him."
Wang Manxue shook her head and said, "I don't know. You have a good relationship with Song Xi and the others. Go ask them."
Xiang Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Miss! Can I go back to Chongqing now? But I came here to tell you something."
After she finished speaking, she looked around, as if she was worried that someone was watching her.
Wang Manxue said unhappily, "Don't look, there are no outsiders here."
Xiang Ying lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the Military Control Commission will send people to sabotage the 'Return to the Capital Ceremony'. You should not attend the ceremony then."
Wang Manling shook her head and said, "This is not a secret. Even a three-year-old child knows that the Military Control Commission has been causing trouble. My son is going to sleep, so excuse me!"
Xiang Ying glanced at Nan Feng and said with a smile:
"This child looks exactly like Xiang Chu!"
Having said that, she turned and left in a hurry.
Wang Manxue stared at her back and thought to herself:
"It seems that she is an undercover sent by the Military Control Commission. Nanjing is a place full of good and bad people. If Nanfeng and I stay here, we will be killed sooner or later. I want Brother Chu to come quickly and take my son and me away."
No. 88 Sinan Road, Shanghai.
Xiang Chu followed Xu Lai and moved into her home.
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Brother Chu! By comparison, it's still the safest here in Alai."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Of course! Anywhere is safer than Chuyue Hotel anyway."
Xu Lai said worriedly, "Brother Chu! There are so many traitors in Nanjing who know you, and there is also Aoki Nobuhide who wants to harm you all the time, as well as people from the Military Control Commission, the Central Control Commission, and No. 76. It's really a dangerous place."
Xiang Chu comforted him, "Don't worry! I can bring Gan Rong and other spies with me and escape safely."
At this time, a newsboy outside shouted, "Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! The 'Fusang Qingmu Duo' announced the details of the massacre of Chinese martial arts masters 20 years ago. They will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow and set up a ring in Yu Garden, vowing to destroy the Chinese martial arts world."
Xiang Chu walked to the window and looked at the newsboy and the surroundings.
Xu Lai smiled and said, "Brother Chu! Can I go out and buy you a newspaper?"
Xiang Chu shook his head and said, "No need! The newspaper boy has told you all the details, why buy a newspaper?"
Xu Lai smiled slyly and said, "You are afraid that this newsboy will have problems just like Long Wei did that time, right?"
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! This newsboy should be a spy. He is looking around. He should be helping someone find someone. Maybe he is looking for me."
At this moment, the phone in the living room rang.
Xu Lai stepped forward to answer the phone, and after listening to a sentence, he handed it to Xiang Chu and said with a wry smile:
"It's from Yamashita Jixia."
Xiang Chu picked up the phone and asked with a smile: "Ji Xia! Are you okay?"
Yamashita Jixia said excitedly: "First generation! Jixia heard that you were back and immediately ran to Chuyue Hotel to visit you, but I didn't expect you to leave early."
Xiang Chu smiled bitterly and said, "The Chuyue Hotel is crowded with people and eyes. The first generation is now a general of the empire. It would be inconvenient for him to live there. Tell me! What's the matter?"
Yamashita Yoshika smiled and said, "First generation! The new commander of the Shanghai Garrison Army, Lieutenant General Oda Yu, would like to invite you to the Garrison Army meeting room at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning to attend the welcome party for the 'Fuso Aoki Twins'."
Xiang Chu asked with a smile: "Ji Xia! Why didn't Lieutenant General Oda Yu come to me himself?"
Yamashita Yoshixia smiled bitterly and said, "He knows he can't invite you, so he forced me to make this call. If you can come, it will be a great support to him, and your business in Shanghai will be more successful than before."
Xiang Chu said helplessly: "Okay! For your sake, I will go there tomorrow morning."
Yamashita Yoshixia said excitedly: "Thank you, Daigen! The new commander will look up to you if you come forward."
"It's time for you to get promoted, kid."
Xiang Chu cursed with a smile and hung up the phone.
The Japanese garrison headquarters in Shanghai, the commander's office.
Commander Oda Yu held a telegram in his hand and frowned.
The Japanese intelligence officer smiled and said, "Commander! Aoki Nobuhide is the supervisor of the Nanjing government of China. His orders should be carried out."
Oda Yu shook his head and said, "He has a feud with the head of the Kage Agency, why did he involve this commander? Takeda Fu! Are you related to the Aoki family?"
Takeda nodded and said, "I am a student of Aoki Jinjun."
Oda Yu thought for a moment and ordered, "Takeda Fu! You must immediately reply to Supervisor Aoki and tell him that the commander can provide convenience for his subordinates to act. Nothing else will be discussed."
Mr. Takeda smiled and said, "I understand! It's quite good that you can provide convenience. I will send a message to Master Aoki immediately."
After saying this, he turned and ran out.
Oda Yu looked at his back and murmured to himself: "Why does this guy call Aoki Nobuhide 'Young Master Aoki'? Is he also from the Aoki family?"
Yamashita Jixia arrived at the door and reported loudly:
"Commander! Our first generation has agreed to come to the welcome party of the 'Aoki Twins' at 10 a.m. tomorrow."
Oda Yu was surprised and said, "Yamashita-kun! General Fujiwara no Daisuke is the Yamashita leader of your Yamashita Group?"
Yamashita Jixia had no idea of his inner shock and nodded, "Yes! He is the person Jixia respects the most."
Oda Yu said with a wry smile, "Really? It's a good opportunity to meet this famous man tomorrow."
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning.
Accompanied by Gan Rong and other shadow spies, Xiang Chu drove to the garrison army headquarters.
Oda Yu, Yamashita Yoshika, intelligence officer Takeda Fu and others were waiting at the gate.
When Xiang Chu got off the car, the Japanese were stunned because he was wearing a general's uniform and looked too young.
Oda Yu stepped forward, saluted him, and reported loudly: "Your Excellency General Fujiwara! Commander of the Imperial Garrison Army in Shanghai, Oda Yu, thanks you for coming."
Xiang Chu returned the greeting and said with a smile: "Commander Oda! To be honest, I came here for the sake of my brother Yamashita Yoshika. Where are the Aoki Twins? Haven't they come yet?"
Oda Yu smiled bitterly and said, "General! The Aoki Twins have been famous for decades and are well-known throughout East Asia. They are too impressive. I have set the time for 10 o'clock. I guess we will have to wait a while."
Takeda reminded, "Commander! The Aoki Twins only said they might arrive at ten o'clock, but they didn't say they would definitely arrive at ten o'clock."
At this time, a Japanese lieutenant ran over and reported loudly:
"Commander! The Qingmu Twins went directly to the Yu Garden Arena and have killed three Chinese martial arts masters."
Oda Xiong said in astonishment: "Aoki Shuangsha are not planning to come here to attend the welcome party?"
The Japanese lieutenant nodded and said, "The Qingmu Twins said they would not come to the welcome party until they had killed a hundred Chinese martial arts masters."
"what?!"
Oda Yu exclaimed, his face turning very ugly.
He and everyone present felt like they were being made a fool of.
Xiang Chu was filled with righteous indignation and sneered, "Commander Oda! I hate being teased the most. I will go to the Yu Garden Arena and ask for an explanation from the Qingmu Twins."
