Ru Feng watched as the four policemen left. As he was making wild guesses in his heart, another five women came out from the courtyard. They were all young and dressed beautifully. They were all dressed in makeup and had quite a beautiful appearance. The five of them walked out and headed east along the street. These five people were precisely Lian Zi, You Zi, Qin Jiang, Fan Jing and Quan Zi from the monastery in Japan.
Ru Feng didn't recognize them, and looked at their backs, thinking: ”These people are all like prostitutes, what are they doing here? None of them seem to be a special agent of the Black Dragon Society Of Japan. ”
Just as the five of them turned a corner and disappeared, another two middle-aged men walked out of the courtyard. The two of them caught Ru Feng's attention. He saw that the two of them were tall and wore kimono with belts tied around their waists. Ru Feng recognized the kimono, and said in his heart: ”Look at these two people, they are Japanese. They might be Yama Takashi and Du Bian. must be heading back to the Guandi Temple. ” The two of them walked past Ru Feng.
Ru Feng followed the two of them slowly. Seeing that they were stopped at a corner and talking to each other in Japanese, he stopped the two carriages that were coming from the north and the two of them got on separate carriages. Ru Feng was secretly happy as he said: ”These two must be Yama Takashi and Du Bian. It was truly like stepping on broken iron shoes without any effort to find them. I want to see where you're going. ” Ru Feng immediately gave chase.
So it turned out that Ru Feng was not chasing them, but were two followers of the Japanese envoy, Inoue Shizuo. The two of them came out of the courtyard and went back to the monastery.
That night,, the priest of the Church of the British Mosque, Chalie, as well as Yuan Ming and the four little Spiritual Masters, went into the monastery to investigate. They were discovered by the people in the monastery and caused a few gang fights, wounding many people in the monastery. After this matter was over, Yama Takashi, Inoue Shizuo and the other special agents were all trembling in fear, afraid that another similar event would occur in the monastery. They thought that these people who came to investigate were with the Shorty, and felt that the midget's threat to them was extremely serious.
That night, Inoue Shizuo was so frightened that he told Yama Takashi in private, ”Looks like I won't be able to stay here any longer. The midget was powerful. He must have brought people with him to make trouble. Shorty's goal is not just to kill you for revenge. The Shorty received the news that we are signing a contract with Yuan Shikai. He wanted to know exactly what was going on. He wanted to interfere and obstruct them from doing so. He refused to give up until he had achieved his goal. Like us here, the gnats are our own eyes and ears, our own intelligence agencies. Those Western empires are all worried about the close relationship between Japan and China, worried about us monopolizing China. Therefore, they will do everything possible to obstruct and destroy our contract with China. The British came here to make trouble, and maybe the French and the Russians came here to make trouble too. In order to successfully sign a contract with Yuan Shikai and achieve our goals, I must find a safe place to stay. ”
Yama Takashi appeared to be in a difficult position, and nodded: ”What you have seen, Sir. ”Let me think.” Inoue Shizuo then continued, ”My personal safety is not at stake, I am worried that staying here would affect the signing of the contract, delaying the important matter of our Empire of Japan. I have come with the will of the Emperor. If I fail, I must be punished. Neither you nor I can afford it. This time, I can only succeed and not fail. ”
Yama Takashi also felt responsible, saying: ”These British people are like us, deeply rooted in China. It is very difficult to get rid of their surveillance. Since the opening of China, a large country, there have been powers in various empires, and they are all developing. We can get away from the elves, and it's hard to get away from the others. As soon as the news of the signing got out, we became the target of public criticism. I don't know how many eyes are watching us in the dark. It's hard to guarantee our personal safety. The two of us could be assassinated at any moment. I was already deeply worried. As far as the British are concerned, it is hard to know how many hidden forces they still have in Beijing. We pretended to be members of the Boxer League and the martial arts world. We also carried out a series of assassinations and destruction activities on them, greatly reducing their power and prestige. I never thought that they would still possess such a powerful force. ” He added thoughtfully, ”The British have been in China for a long time and have had a profound impact on China. ”The midget has a lot of followers in China, and there are all kinds of masters among them. It's really hard to deal with them, making it hard for people to guard against them.” Inoue Shizuo also shook his head and sighed, feeling extremely troubled. The two of them felt that there was no way out of this predicament, but it was dangerous.
Yama Takashi continued, ”It seems like finding an extremely safe location is truly difficult. You'll have to go to our legation. There are our Japanese armed guards there, keeping watch day and night. No matter how strong the people of the Shorty are, he would not dare to find trouble there. ”
Inoue Shizuo hated him: ”You know this, I hate Minister Hioki. The Legation is his place of power, how can I bow to him? I won't go even if I die! I decided to wait until the day Yuan Shikai and I come to an agreement and sign it officially. I then personally went to the legation to find Hioki to attend the signing ceremony, in order to embarrass him. Let him admire my loyal ability to do things for the Empire. ”
Yama Takashi could only say, ”If you don't plan to go there, then we will have to go to the Chinese people. However, their ability to deal with the people from Shorty is even lower. ” Upon mentioning the Chinese, Inoue Shizuo remembered to say in the large courtyard, ”Mr. Wo is very quiet there. My first visit to China was to live there. It's safe there. I decided to stay there. You can send some of the warriors to guard it, and it will be safe. I think that way I can get rid of the Shorty and all kinds of surveillance. ”
Yama Takashi said worriedly, ”Mr. Luo has always been close to us. Our people often go in and out of his place. It was hard to know if the midget knew. You can try it over there first. ”
