"Suzuki-kun, please take me away! Take me away from this place and go anywhere!"
Liangzi shed tears as he spoke. Ma Xingkong couldn't bear to look at him. He was about to reach out to pull her, but unexpectedly Liangzi threw himself into Ma Xingkong's arms and cried even louder. What happened to Ma Xingkong
Kong was at a loss. Fortunately, it was night and there was no one around. Ma Xingkong sighed and said nothing.
The two of them hugged each other, quiet all around, quiet people. After a long time, Liangzi came out of Ma Xingkong's arms, wiped his tears, bowed to Ma Xingkong and said, "I'm sorry, Suzuki-kun.
, I’m causing you trouble! Actually, I just want to see you, and it’ll be nice to see you. Suzuki-kun is a warrior of the empire, and like Kawashima-kun, he can make great achievements for the empire!"
"Liangzi, are you okay?" Ma Xingkong actually called him by his first name.
Liangzi smiled: "I'm fine. I'll be the bride in a few days. What's the point of being unhappy? Suzuki-kun and Miss Chiyoko should live well, and I wish you the best!"
Ma Xingkong could tell that Liangzi was all pretending. Liangzi was a fragile woman on the outside but strong on the inside. Sometimes he wondered whether he should take advantage of such a woman. But then he thought about it, all of his grandma's were from Japan.
People, do you ever feel unbearable when you bully me and our compatriots? You can bear it, so what can’t I do?
Quietly left the palace and returned to the temple. Ma Xingkong told Mu Yunchen the news he had received and his plan. Mu Yunchen nodded: "It is indeed a good opportunity. As long as Hirohito leaves the palace, we will have
Chance, Mieko, bring me the map!"
A whole topographic map of Kyoto was placed on the table. This was a map made by Mu Yunchen himself. He made new annotations on the original topographic map of Kyoto, marking out some ambiguous and sensitive parts, and marking out those deliberately written
Important departments that made mistakes were corrected again, and even some secluded alleyways were connected one by one with red pens.
"Look, this is the palace!" Mu Yunchen pointed to the large garden in the center of the map, and pointed to a courtyard on the only hill on the left: "This is the Kawashima family's residence. If you come out of the palace, go to
There are three roads in the Kawashima family. The first one is the main road. The place it passes is densely populated, and of course the roads are relatively good. The second one is this road, which passes in front of the police station and continuously bypasses several major government departments.
One point, there is a government department some distance away, all with guards, this road should be the safest, so I think Hirohito should choose this road if he travels."
Monk Tongming looked at it and said: "This road is good, but it's a big detour. Hirohito likes face more than his father. Last year's Tianchang Festival was the most solemn in more than ten years. Hirohito every day
This trip is not a grand one! I don’t think he will take this secluded alley!”
"Then arrange manpower on both sides! No matter which way you go, wait for him!" Ma Xingkong said.
Mu Yunchen shook his head: "No! Just concentrate on hitting the target with one strike, and deploy manpower on both sides. That will unintentionally disperse our strength, which is not feasible!"
"Then what should we do? We can't let Hirohito follow the path we designed for him, right?" Ma Xingkong looked at Mu Yunchen.
Mu Yunchen smiled: "Yes! We just want Hirohito to follow the path we designed. Master Tongming, it's time to show your skills again. How about it? Are you sure?"
Monk Tongming clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha, this poor monk can try it!"
Everyone stared at the map and studied it for a long time, and finally decided to choose the ambush location near the police station. If you want to take the road to the police station from the palace, there is a big bend in front of the police station.
Hirohito's large royal carriage must slow down to go around that curve, and this is the best opportunity.
Ma Xingkong slapped the table: "That's it. When the time comes, I will lead people to ambush, and you can just wait for the good news!"
Mieko said: "Although we have a careful plan, don't forget that Hirohito is not stupid. Every time he goes out, there will be a substitute. If we don't attack someone other than Hirohito himself, we still can't achieve the effect. I think there should be some arrangements near Kawashima's house."
People, just in case.”
Mu Yunchen nodded: "Yes! You need double insurance to deal with cunning foxes. Brother Ma, didn't Hirohito give you an invitation to your wedding? Why don't you sneak into the wedding scene? As long as Hirohito appears, it means that our operation has failed.
, then you should act according to the opportunity and look for opportunities to continue the assassination!"
Ma Xingkong thought for a while and nodded: "It's a bit disappointing not to be able to be with you. Okay, then give me a gun. The gun will be confiscated when approaching the royal family. I need a spare one!"
"This is a matter of near death. Brother Ma must be extra careful! If it doesn't work, just give up!" Mu Yunchen warned Ma Xingkong again.
Ma Xingkong smiled: "I'm not an idiot. I understand. You guys continue to study. I want to go to Kawashima's house and step on the plate to find a way out."
The Kawashima family can be said to be the masters of Kyoto. Since the shogunate era, they have been loyal to the emperor's capital minister. Even if the shogunate like Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted to win over the Kawashima family, they were rejected. Successive emperors have been particularly loyal to the Kawashima family.
The trust has continued to strengthen the relationship. Hirohito's aunt also married into the Kawashima family and is now the wife of Naoto Kawashima, the head of the Kawashima family.
Of course, the Kawashima family also has its own advantages. Since the Meiji Restoration, a large part of the imperial officials came from the Kawashima family or were students of the Kawashima family. The current Prime Minister Tanaka Giichi is a student of Naoto Kawashima, who joined the army.
He was promoted and recommended to Hirohito.
Because of this, Hirohito attaches great importance to the marriage between Ryoko and Kawashima Ichiro. Even though Kawashima Ichiro has been dead for so many years, Hirohito still wants to marry his sister. To put it bluntly, the Kawashima family and the royal family are no longer just
The masters and servants of superiors and subordinates can be said to be partners. To put it more seriously, the Kawashima family is the driving force behind the imperial family.
Ma Xingkong climbed up a slope, untied the neck, sat on the ground and used his military cap as a fan to fan himself, and looked up at the tall courtyard on the mountain. After resting for a while, Ma Xingkong stood up again,
When he arrived at the front door of Kawashima's house, he put on his hat, tidied up his whole body, and walked over step by step.
"Stop! What are you doing!" the soldier at the door asked loudly.
"I am Colonel Shota Suzuki of Army University. I have admired Mr. Kawashima for a long time and I am here to pay my respects to Mr. Kawashima!" Ma Xingkong was polite and courteous.
"Wait!" a soldier said, and went to report before entering the door. Soon, a middle-aged man about forty years old came out under the leadership of the soldier. The man's hair was messy, and he wore loose clothes.
On her body, her sleeves were rolled up high, and her wooden clogs were tapping on the stone road.
He is not tall, but his appearance is very unusual. He has a square face with Chinese characters and no mustache that is unique to Japanese people. His hair is very short and the roots are upward. He holds his hands in his arms and looks at Ma Xingkong.
