"Go back." Mu Jing entered the car and ordered Dongzi.
"How about we go directly to Mu's? If we go back directly now, I will definitely be asked." Dongzi was slightly embarrassed, as her eldest young master was starting to hide his whereabouts.
If I was asked by Butler Liu and let the news slip, I guess the young master would never take me out on errands again.
"Okay, I'll go to Mu's to read the documents." Mu Jing closed her eyes and gradually fell asleep.
My head has been tense these past few days, and I am really tired.
There was still a tough battle to be fought, and he could not express his worries to Liu Limao and his younger sister because their spirits were even more tense.
For me now, I am originally a burden to them.
Although Amao didn't clearly explain his other matters, he could roughly guess it.
After disappearing for a month, several bullet holes appeared on his body. The news that day happened to be that "Literary News" was found to be a red-funded group.
One person was shot several times but escaped in the end. Judging from the wounds at the time, he is now definitely Liu Limao.
For them, escaping the enemy's plot and pursuit should be commonplace.
Even if Mu Fu follows him to fight on the front line, he will probably feel at ease.
At the same time, Liu Limao learned the latest news that the Japanese had launched an attack in Northeast China first.
Judging from this, Shencheng will relax for a short period of time, and in the next few days, there should be signs of troops on the port side moving to the northeast.
The 300,000 troops in the Northeast can hold off for some time as long as they resist seriously.
Thinking of this, Liu Limao thought of Tan Jun's current embarrassing situation.
The Jiankang government is still urging troops to be mobilized to Sanxiang. At this time, it would be easy to find an excuse not to use Shencheng to make trouble.
Liu Limao entered the study and made a call directly to the commander's office in the Military and Political Office.
"What's going on? Why did you call here?"
"I just got the news that early this morning, the Japanese have taken action in Northeast China."
"What? The Northeast is said to have an army of three hundred thousand, and they actually went to gnaw on that bone?" Commander Tan stood up in surprise when he heard the news.
"The origins of the Manchu Qing government are over there. It's not impossible for them to chew on that bone."
"How many years have passed since the Republic of China, can there be a restoration?" Commander Tan laughed: "With Marshal Zhang's strength, it is impossible for them to swallow up a land area that is larger than theirs."
"What if the Jiankang government wants to give up resistance?"
"Did you get any other news?" Commander Tan was suspicious. If the Jiankang government gave up resistance, I'm afraid the people would not agree.
These places have been China's territory since ancient times. How can we allow others to invade them?
"It's just a guess. Oh, by the way, has your telegram been sent?"
"It has been sent by Marshal Zhang from the Northeast, and there has been no reply." Commander Tan was speechless in his heart: It is a pity that he does not serve in a government agency with his intelligence capabilities.
He had conducted his own private investigation, and Wu Yaxing only occasionally bought some information from him, and all of it was beyond their reach within the Central Government.
"Shencheng should pay more attention to precautions. I believe the war is not far away." Liu Limao heard that the other party wanted to hang up, so he continued: "Brother said you can come to discuss the wedding date at some time.
Build things into your itinerary.”
He hung up immediately before Commander Tan could react.
It's better for the man to take the initiative in this kind of thing, although we all understand that this kind of acting is an essential process at critical moments.
Tan Yue'an originally wanted to ask Mu Fu if he had woken up, but the other party had already hung up the phone.
When he called again, he just heard a beeping sound.
I'm afraid the phone he has is not a public phone booth, nor is it a phone he trusts.
So, he had no choice but to call Adjutant Guo, send a note to the Tan family, and ask several concubines to visit him.
The Mu Mansion is next door, and she will soon be my wife.
At this time, after hearing about the attack in the Northeast and the attitude of the Jiankang government, he couldn't be happy when he thought about it.
When Shencheng is attacked, will they have no choice but to resist on their own like the Northeastern Allied Forces without external aid?
The situation that Marshal Zhang is in a better position than me is that that man has befriended Mr. Jiang from Jiankang. When the time comes, it will be Tan Jun's turn to be helpless and fight on his own.
He always had a bad premonition and was afraid that Fuli would be left a widow by then.
This marriage really cannot be brought forward in advance. If a war breaks out then, wouldn't it be harmful to others?
After Liu Limao notified the matter in place, he went to the Iwai Mansion to start his daily work.
On this day, Mr. Asano left him to have a heart-to-heart talk.
"What's wrong? Is it because I don't care about my work?"
"You are very attentive to your work. You are a local snake in Shanghai. The people above just want to know about the situation." Asano took him to a sushi restaurant.
"I see you rarely come to this store."
"We have been classmates for four years. You don't know that I only like to eat cooked food."
"Yeah, four years in Japan haven't changed your taste." Mr. Asano pouted: "All these stores have rice balls, so it's good for you to eat them occasionally."
"Okay, you have to treat me to more food in the future, otherwise you won't get used to eating. People's habits can only be changed by another person."
"Now that our country is at war with the Northeastern Army, do you think there is anything we need to pay attention to in Shencheng?"
"Can I ask about the reason for the war?" Liu Limao still had a professional smile.
Even though Asano was physically disgusted with what he said, his job was to rely on these people to obtain information, and to get entangled with them.
"Japan has always had friendly exchanges with you. When the time comes to establish friendly and peaceful relations, you can also recommend outstanding young people you know."
"Oh." Sure enough, I am not the same person as my Japanese classmate. I never have been.
Bullshit friendliness is, to put it bluntly, aggression in another name.
There are countless truly friendly exchanges in history. If this could be considered friendly, God would bring disaster upon us.
"What do you want to know from me?" He calmly put on a professional smile. After all, he was still regarded as one of their own in their eyes.
"Is Tan Jun too nervous? Recently, the police have been strengthened visibly throughout the city." Asano handed him a glass of wine, pursed his lips and observed the other person's expression: "This is Japanese plum wine. Drink it and see how it compares to China."
How does the liquor taste?"
"It's useless for you to tell me this kind of thing, I'm just your lackey. How can I have such great ability to make the commander-in-chief of the army listen to me about Tan Jun's matter?"
Liu Limao spread his hands and said that he had no knowledge of this matter.
"Then we hope that there will be no demonstrations in Shanghai that are detrimental to the Empire of Japan."
"You have to deal with the government about this. I am just a businessman working hard in Shanghai. I happen to be able to help you." Liu Limao continued to smooth things over: "I really don't understand what you are talking about."
"In that case, you can eat slowly and we can chat later." Mr. Asano returned disappointed.
Could it be that the marriage between the Mu and Tan families gave them the illusion that they could do business with Commander Tan?
I have to go to the Iwai Mansion tomorrow to explain this matter.
It seems that I can't go to places like the Dragon Tiger Gang and the Ax Gang these days, and I'm mostly working on my own business.
If any clues are found, it will really not be good.
After drinking alone, he shook off his tail and returned to Mu's house. Mu Jing had already returned by car.
He was reading the newspaper and drinking coffee in the living room.
Mu Fu and Mu Cai were staying in the room, and they were the only ones left in the living room.
"Have you done what I arranged for you today?" Mu Jing looked at the man's confused eyes and asked, "Is there anyone who wants to invite you for a drink today?"
"My classmate had a drink and wanted to make me a lackey of the invaders, but I didn't agree."
"You did the right thing. You really can't do it." The eldest young master closed the newspaper and said, "You can't have contact with those classmates in Japan."
"I know, I won't take any other path." Liu Limao smiled broadly. Every day when he came home, someone would tell him that he couldn't do this or that. He was so happy when he couldn't do that.
"We cannot take the initiative to discuss the date. I will directly ask Commander Tan to prepare an appointment with you."
"Are you talking about Miss's marriage?" Uncle De came in from the outside with a smile and holding the name card: "Adjutant Guo already took the name card to talk about it just now. In a few days, several concubines and Commander Tan will
Come to discuss it in person."
"This guy Tan Yue'an came here to see Fu'er," Liu Limao joked.
"They are about to get married, so it's okay to come to visit them." Uncle De ignored his joke: "Why don't you prepare something first?"
"What should we prepare?" Mu Jing, Liu Limao and both of them were inexperienced, not to mention that they had never held a wedding at home.
Uncle De smiled: No matter how much he pretends to be an adult on weekdays, he is still a child in private.
"This time I'll watch the preparations first, and if anything is inappropriate, I'll add more when the time comes. The young master also has to prepare the young lady's dowry, so as not to make others laugh later."
"Everyone in Shencheng knows that the Mu family is a merchant family, and it is nothing more than marrying off some shops or shares." Mu Jing didn't take it seriously: It was just a fake wedding. Why are you planning it so seriously?
"Speaking of this young master, you don't understand. When I married my wife, I put a lot of thought into her dowry."
"Okay, let Uncle De take care of everything, don't worry." Liu Limao stood up, holding Uncle De's arm and acting coquettishly, while taking Uncle De to his room: "How can we not have experienced as many things as you?
I will still have to rely on you more when the time comes."
"Okay, I can only take care of these things." Uncle De was stunned by his praise, and his heart was filled with joy.
When Liu Limao came out again, Mu Jing had already gone to the study.
"I have such a headache. Where is the time to consider such a thing now?"
"Uncle De is right. If we don't manage it well, people may think that we don't care about this marriage." Liu Limao comforted him: "From tomorrow onwards, you will go out to help her buy and buy. Although we both know in our hearts that this is a marriage.
It’s a fake wedding, but we have to make the outside world believe it, especially the Tang family, so that we can force them to cause chaos."
"I understand. We will put these things on the agenda tomorrow." Mu Jing nodded helplessly.
