In the backyard hut of Tongfu Merchant Inn, Fujita Hikaru and Kawai Ichiro were discussing something in a low voice. Suddenly, the door of the house was knocked, which startled the two of them.
"who?"
As Kawai Ichiro stood up and shouted, Fujita Hikaru and the two members of Nobunaga's special attack team who came with him pulled out their pistols and dodge to the wall next to the door, holding their breath and listening to what was going on outside.
"Boss, the security forces are here, saying they want to search the beard." The person who came was a spy under Kawai Ichiro, and it seemed that he was here to report a message to Kawai Ichiro.
Ichiro Kawai and Mitsuru Fujita looked at each other in shock. They didn't expect that as soon as Mitsuru Fujita arrived in Tieling County, security sergeant Cao Deli would conduct a big search. What a coincidence.
"The security forces are not targeting me, right?" Fujita Hikaru came on a secret mission this time, so he didn't want to reveal his identity.
Kawai Ichiro shook his head and said affirmatively, "No, this is a secret liaison station. It has never been used since its establishment. It has always been in a secret state, so the security forces will not notice it at all."
"Besides, the security forces are members of our Empire of Japan. They will not target the Japanese. I think they may have discovered the bandits, so they conducted a search." Kawai Ichiro said, grabbing his coat, and then
He opened the door and walked out, "I'll go take care of it. Captain Fujita, please wait here for a moment."
Kawai Ichiro left the hut and went to the hall, while Fujita Hikaru and the two special attack team members stayed in the hut. They always maintained a high degree of vigilance and never took their hands off the handle of the gun.
During the tense wait, time passed extremely slowly. The tea in the teacup in Fujita Hikaru's hand became cold, and he poured it out, refilled it, and then poured it out again. There were already several cups, and he didn't even take a sip.
"Captain, will Ichiro Kawai betray us?" A special attack team member couldn't hold back his anger. He asked Fujita Hikaru in a low voice, "How about we go to the front and take a look?"
Fujita Hikaru thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No need to go, I believe Kawai-kun, a person who can stick to an intelligence station that has never been used for seven or eight years, his perseverance is worthy of trust."
"What if-" the special attack team member said worriedly.
Fujita Hikaru didn't say anything, but continued to lower his head and stared at an ant on the brick floor under his feet. It was struggling to move forward dragging food that was more than ten times larger than its body.
Seeing that their captain had stopped talking, the two special attack team members also stopped saying anything. Instead, they stood beside him, paying careful attention to the movements outside.
In the front hall of Tongfu Merchant Inn, rows of shelves are filled with various products for your son. These shelves are neatly placed against the wall. In front of it is a circle of counters, with three young men in the counter.
Busy, take down the things the customers need, put them on the counter, and then take away what they paid.
However, there was not a single customer in the Tongfu Merchant Inn today. Standing in the center of the room was a group of soldiers in security army uniforms, each holding a rifle in his hand and looking askance at the Tongfu Merchant Inn.
Several people dressed in the uniforms of security force officers were standing in front of the counter, surrounded by a person, who seemed to be the boss. At this time, he was looking up at the surrounding layout.
Kawai Ichiro reached out from the side door and lifted the curtain and walked out. When he saw the person standing in the room, he was stunned because he recognized the person as Cao Deli, the captain of the security army, the local emperor of Tieling County.
"It's strange, why did Cao Deli come in person this time? Usually this guy is not so active?" Kawai Ichiro was surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly greeted him, "Hey, Captain Cao, which battle is today?
The fragrant wind has brought you to my little shop, so welcome, so welcome!"
Cao Deli glared and asked angrily, "Yang San, you don't have many people here, right? A group of bearded men have sneaked into the city recently. They are probably hiding with their accomplices and are preparing to plot evil."
Kawai Ichiro's expression did not change, he was still smiling and said, "Captain Cao, I am an honest and humble small business owner. You can see it at a glance with only a few people in the store. If you don't believe me, go and search in the back."
Cao Deli snorted, "You're a smart kid. You've been more energetic recently. If anything happens, report it as soon as possible."
Kawai Ichiro responded repeatedly, smiling and nodding.
Yao Tianhua watched the conversation between the two people from the side. He frowned slightly and a light flashed in his eyes, "This boss feels a bit strange, but I can't think of anything specific about the problem."
Thinking of this, he took a step forward and said calmly, "Boss Yang, you have a lot of Japanese and Western goods. I wonder where you got them from?"
Hearing Yao Tianhua's question, Kawai Ichiro's eyebrows skipped a beat, his face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, saying, "These are all brought from Peking with the help of some old friends, which made this military commander laugh.
." He waved his hands as he spoke.
"Captain Cao, since you're here, let's pick something for the concubines." Ichiro Kawai smiled generously, "These are just gadgets and not worth anything."
"Okay, okay, then I'll pick a few pieces!" Cao Deli didn't dare to make the decision without permission. Instead, he looked at Yao Tianhua. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping him, he felt relieved and said with a smile, "The fourth aunt who happened to be newly married
I’ve long wanted a bottle of Japanese essence.”
"Captain Cao, you're welcome. Just take some of what you like." Seeing what Cao Deli said, Kawai Ichiro felt reassured. Then he looked at Yao Tianhua and the other officers, "You guys, please pick out what you like.
Bar."
Initially, the security army officers thought that Yao Tianhua would refuse, but unexpectedly he nodded, "Okay, let's stop being disrespectful. Let's pick what we like." After saying that, he walked to the shelves nearby.
.
After looking at Yao Tianhua's back suspiciously, several security army officers dared to take a step towards the shelves.
Behind them, Ichiro Kawai showed a satisfied smile.
Ten minutes later, Cao Deli and others had finished sorting out their belongings. Everyone had a lot in their hands, especially Cao Deli, who just said he only had a bottle of essence, but now he had a big handful in his arms.
A few.
"Yang San, how much is it?" Cao Deli asked deliberately pretending even though he knew he wouldn't ask for money.
Ichiro Kawai didn't even look at the things in Cao Deli's arms, but said with a smile, "Captain Cao, these things are all given to you by me. They can be regarded as a gift to celebrate your marriage to your concubine. How much does it cost?"
When Cao Deli heard this, he smiled happily. He deliberately declined twice and handed these things to the orderly behind him. Then he rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "Yang San, your store is running well, and the security is also very good."
,Well, I’m very satisfied.”
"As long as you are satisfied, captain!" This was what Ichiro Kawai was waiting for.
