In the evening, the door of a large hotel near Wangfujing was heavily guarded, the banquet hall was brightly lit and crowded, and some Japanese civil and military officials gathered together with the so-called celebrities from all walks of life in Peiping who had been involved with the Japanese. In the years when Peking was occupied by the Japanese, there were few such large-scale social dinners, and the men present were busy greeting each other and chatting with each other. The ladies are competing to see who is dressed beautifully, who behaves elegantly, and who can attract everyone's attention more.

Before the banquet began, the band played a cheerful dance music, and the couple walked to the dance floor in the middle of the banquet hall and danced shoulder to shoulder. Dressed in a curvy tight black cheongsam with a high slit in her ears and temples, she twisted her waist and walked around, and wherever people went, there were bursts of laughter like silver bells, which was very eye-catching.

Yizhihua first danced a waltz with Shi Shuli, and then was hugged by Ono and danced blues. Ono, who is usually rude, wears a crisp dark suit today, and he tries his best to pretend to be an elegant gentleman when dancing. Kazuka leaned her head on Ono's shoulder, and she squinted as if she was intoxicated by the gentleness of the country. Shuzhen, who was dancing with Ma Liangchen, glanced at the flower with disdain when she passed by them, and she whispered to Ma Liangchen: "This sassy fox earns scenery by sleeping with the Japanese, and his skin is really thick!" Old Shi doesn't care. ”

Ma Liangchen reproached and said: "You talk a lot of nonsense! It was Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. Who do you women sleep with, you can also bring me a green hat if you have the ability, I'm afraid that people don't want you yet! ”

Shuzhen was anxious when she heard this, "Stinky and shameless!" You took refuge with the Japanese yourself, and you still have to give your wife away? After she finished speaking, she shook off Ma Liangchen and ran to the side to sulk, and Ma Liangchen casually hugged a woman and continued to dance.

"General Yamamoto has arrived!" With a shout coming from the door of the banquet hall, the enthusiastic dance music came to an abrupt end. The people on the dance floor immediately dispersed to the sides. Yamamoto Ichiro appeared at the door of the banquet hall wearing a tweed military uniform full of medals, and behind him was his wife Michiko and other people, at this time, Yamamoto's powerful aura suddenly condensed the air in the banquet hall, and everyone stood respectfully, and the banquet hall was silent.

Yamamoto smiled and waved to the crowd, then strode to the middle of the field. He straightened his body and looked around with blazing eyes, and then said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, when I walked into the banquet hall just now, I was very happy to see the scene of singing and dancing. It reflects that Peiping has shown a peaceful and prosperous scene under the strong governance of our Imperial Japanese Army! ”

As soon as Yamamoto's words fell, the banquet hall burst into warm applause. Seeing the scene of the stars holding the moon, Yamamoto shrugged his beard proudly and continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, I hold this grand dinner today for two purposes: one is to thank the civil and military generals of the Great Japanese Empire who have done their best for the Great East Asian Holy War in the past few years, and to thank the Chinese elites who have sincerely cooperated with the Great Japanese Empire; The second is to introduce to you an old friend of mine, who is Mr. Wang Yunqing, a former minister of Beiyang who was once famous in Beiping. After Yamamoto finished speaking, he invited Wang Yunqing, who was standing behind him with his head bowed, to his side. At first, people didn't notice Wang Yunqing, but as soon as he appeared, it immediately caused a lot of commotion in the crowd. Anyone who knows Wang Yunqing in Beiping knows that Wang Yunqing, who is arrogant and high-minded, has never gotten involved with the Japanese, nor has he ever been involved with those who are pro-Japanese and flattering to Japan. It is really unexpected that he can attend this dinner party of the Japanese pseudo-confluence today!

Yamamoto motioned for everyone to be quiet, he cleared his throat and said, "I want to tell you that Mr. Wang Yunqing and I were classmates when we studied in Japan in the early years, and the two of us used to be best friends. A few years ago, when we Japanese came to China. He didn't understand us, and was even hostile, but with my persistent sincerity, he had decided to give up his life in the apartment. Served as a senior senator of the Beiping Municipal Government. I hope that the Chinese elites will join the ranks of Japan and China in building the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, just like Mr. Wang Yunqing! We now welcome Mr. Wang Yunqing to say a few words. Yamamoto took the lead and applauded,

Wang Yunqing lowered his body slightly in a round of applause. It's a bow. Speaking in front of many devils and traitors, he felt uncomfortable, and he didn't know how to phrase it, so he had to blush and say a word, "Thank you, I, Wang Yunqing, am only knowledgeable, and I ask you to take care of me in the future!" Although Wang Yunqing's words were perfunctory, Yamamoto didn't care, he shook hands with Wang Yunqing with a smile and took a photo, and several important members of the puppet government of Beiping City also stepped forward to shake hands with Wang Yunqing and take a group photo, and there were bursts of applause in the hall, Ma Liangchen and Shuzhen stood up excitedly and waved to Wang Yunqing.

"Let's keep dancing!" Yamamoto, who was in a good mood, waved to the band, and the band played a cheerful waltz. A plump and bejeweled Chinese woman caught Yamamoto's attention, he stepped forward to make an elegant invitation pose, the woman smiled and nodded flatteredly, Yamamoto took her hand and walked to the center of the dance floor and danced first, and then a couple of men and women walked into the dance floor one after another.

Wang Yunqing, who was not in a good mood, wanted to find a corner where no one was paying attention to him, and then Michiko walked up to him and asked, "Mr. Wang, can you invite me to dance?" Wang Yunqing didn't want to dance, but he couldn't refuse Michiko, so he bowed to Michiko and jumped with her. Michiko is wearing a well-fitting Western-style skirt today, with wavy hair draped behind her head, she leans on Wang Yunqing's arm, and walks dexterously and lightly under the guidance of Wang Yunqing. Wang Yunqing felt that Michiko, who was leaning on the crook of his arm, always looked at him with affection, so he turned his face to the side in embarrassment.

"Yun Qingjun, I am your first love, do you still have my shadow in your heart?" Michiko asked softly.

Wang Yunqing replied: "Michiko, I already have a wife and children, so don't mention the past again." ”

"Yun Qingjun, you don't dare to look into my eyes, and your expression is a little unnatural, which shows that you haven't forgotten me!"

"You married Yamamoto-kun, and I also married a wife, and now the two of us have nothing to do with each other."

"How can you talk like that? I was in love back then, and it was you who ruthlessly cut off the relationship with me, and I cried so much that I almost died for you! If it hadn't been for Yamamoto who saved me. I wouldn't be alive today. How can you easily forget those things back then! Michiko's words were full of grief.

Listening to Michiko's words, Wang Yunqing's heart was also sour, if it weren't for his father's strong opposition and even threatened to sever the relationship between father and son, the petite and beautiful Japanese woman in front of him would be his daughter-in-law. He admits in his heart that he will never forget this woman who gave him his first taste of love between men and women in a foreign country, and he feels guilty about Michiko in his heart. But now the woman who had given him so much love has become the wife of the enemy chief, and it is this enemy chief who has managed to pull himself into a pool of dirty water, and he is full of dissatisfaction and resistance to the reality in front of him.

"To tell you the truth, Michiko, I hate Yamamoto, and I feel very sorry that you became his wife."

"Yun Qingjun, I understand your feelings. I really can't get used to my husband's domineering attitude towards Chinese. I am deeply angry and guilty for the killing of Chinese by the Japanese army. I also advised him not to embarrass you, but he just wouldn't listen. In my eyes, China is a place full of suffering, and the more I stay here, the more painful it will be. How I wish I could go back to Japan! Yun Qingjun, I feel sorry for your current situation, you have to take care of your health. Michiko's eyes glistened with tears.

Wang Yunqing looked at Michiko's slightly sad appearance, and he couldn't help but say what was in his heart: "Michiko, you are a woman I will never forget in my life, and I will always remember the love you once gave me!" ”

The dance music has not stopped, and Michiko stops. "I'm sorry! I don't want to jump anymore! She bowed deeply to Wang Yunqing, turned around and ran away. Wang Yunqing stood still in amazement.

Yamamoto danced several tunes in a row, and he was so addicted to dancing that he sat down at the main table with a handkerchief to wipe the sweat beads from his head. After Yamamoto took his seat, the dance came to an abrupt end. The crowd sat down one after another.

"Old classmate, I have your seat here." Yamamoto raised his hand and called Wang Yunqing over.

Yamamoto, whose face was full of red light, and the waiter behind him poured him a full glass and stood up, "Ladies, gentlemen. On this wonderful evening, let's raise our glasses for our Emperor of Japan. Cheers to the traditional friendship between Japan and China, the friendship between Japan and China, and the early establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere! ”

"Cheers!" "Cheers!" The hall full of devils and traitors shouted excitedly, and for a while the hall was filled with the sound of "ping-pong" clinking glasses.

Just after a tour of wine, Ono came to Yamamoto's side and whispered a few words, Yamamoto squinted at Wang Yunqing, and then whispered a few words to Ono, Ono nodded and left. Ono walked up to Ma Liangchen, who was drinking, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You go and pick up someone." ”

Ma Liangchen put down his wine glass and hurriedly left the hall with Shuzhen.

Less than half an hour later, Ma Liangchen drove Yurong to the front of the hotel. Shuzhen carefully helped Yurong out of the car. When Shuzhen walked into the banquet hall with Yurong in her arms, Ono immediately led them in front of Yamamoto. Wang Yunqing couldn't help but be shocked when he saw Yurong coming here! He got up out of shape and asked loudly, "Yurong, why are you here?" Is this where you came from? ”

Yu Rong glared at him angrily and said, "Big brother, I was about to ask you, is this where you came from?" ”

As soon as the brother and sister quarreled, the other people at the table put down their dishes and chopsticks and looked at them curiously. Yamamoto saw that the brother and sister were tense as soon as they met, and hurriedly got up and pressed Wang Yunqing on the chair, "Please sit down and talk well, Mrs. Feng was invited by me, I didn't tell you in advance, don't blame her, blame me." ”

Yamamoto turned to Yurong and stretched out his hand with a smile and said, "Mrs. Feng, I am glad to meet, I am fortunate to meet." Yu Rong didn't shake hands with him with a straight face, and Yamamoto laughed quite awkwardly, "Sure enough, Mrs. Feng is indeed very individual!" ”

"General Yamamoto, who is this lady?" A pseudo-officer sitting on the other side of the table with fat eyes narrowed into a slit asked.

"You don't know her, but you've heard of her husband. Her husband is Feng Xuanxia, the commander of the Chinese army who has been fighting against us. She is my special guest today, please welcome!" Yamamoto said out loud to everyone.

At today's dinner, Yamamoto did unexpected things one after another, and as soon as his words fell, there was an uproar in the hall, followed by applause. (To be continued......)
