In the banquet hall, Ning Zhiheng was chatting with a Japanese general beside him.

This person is Major General Yoichi Miura of the General Staff Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and he is also the backstage boss who supported Liang Anhong to form the Restoration Government, and he is quite influential in the army, he is also a native of Kyoto, and Fujiwara Tomohito is a fellow countryman, and the two have had contacts before, so they have a good conversation.

Yoichi Miura was obviously in high spirits, raised his glass to Ning Zhiheng and said: "Fujiwara-kun, since last year's farewell, you haven't been to Nanjing for a long time, this time if it weren't for the arrival of Vice Minister Shimizu, I'm afraid it's rare to see you, come, let's have a drink, I will go to Shanghai in the future, and I want to ask you to take care of it!" ”

Ning Zhiheng also picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Miura-kun, I have some spare time to go to Shanghai to have a look, the prosperous scene there is not comparable to Nanjing, I will definitely sweep the path and accompany you to have a good time." ”

The two of them raised their glasses and drank them all, put down the wine glass, and Miura Yang said with regret: "When I landed in Shanghai, I fought all the way to the west, until I hit Wuhan, and I didn't have the opportunity to go to Shanghai again, which is the first metropolis in the Far East. ”

Hearing this, Hiroki Kagesa on the side opened his mouth and quipped: "Miura-kun, there are a lot of white women in the ten-mile field, which is exactly what you want, let Fujiwara-kun accompany you for a good turn when the time comes, don't be so confused that you can't find your way back, haha!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, it turned out that this Major General Miura was quite lustful, especially like Caucasian women, this reputation was outside, and it was inevitable that he would be ridiculed.

But if someone else says these words, Miura Yoichi will not care, men are lustful and eat food, this is just a joke, but Miura Yoichi has never been interested in Hiroki Kagesa, all because of the Nanjing government that Hiroki Kagesa supported by him, and robbed the limelight of the Restoration government he supported.

Now hearing Hiroki Kagesa say this, although Yoichi Miura didn't show his face clearly, he didn't answer the conversation, but continued to talk to Ning Zhiheng in a low voice, which made Hiroki Kagesa a little embarrassed, but soon someone talked about other topics and cleverly covered up the past.

All this was seen by Shimizu Hidetoshi, he exchanged glances with Hashimoto Akiyu beside him, and then continued to talk and laugh with everyone, this factional relationship in the dispatch army is complicated and intertwined, and it is a good opportunity for them to take advantage of.

At this time, the banquet had entered its climax, and the atmosphere in the hall was very warm, and at this time, at a table not far away, several Japanese officers stood up, only to see their faces flushed, holding wine glasses, and came to the VIP seats together, bowed down, and toasted several high-ranking generals and parliamentarians present.

The military ranks of these officers are all Dazuo and Zhongzuo, and they are obviously also the backbone of the army, and one of the Dazuo officers stepped forward and raised the wine jug, respectfully poured the wine glasses for the high-level people present, and then took a step back.

The high-level people also gave their subordinates a lot of face, and they took it calmly, and they all raised their glasses and drank it all, and the chief of staff on the side, Suzuki Mitsuyoshi, introduced to the three parliamentarians: "These are the brigade commanders and wing commanders of the Sixth Division, and the Sixth Division has performed well in previous battles with the Chinese army, especially this Nojima Ichiro Daisa, who was the first of his troops to attack Nanjing City, clear the bandits, and have made outstanding achievements, and is also a member of the army we dispatched!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Hidetoshi Shimizu and the two parliamentarians all showed admiration on their faces, and praised and praised them repeatedly, and Nojima Ichiro immediately straightened up, and his already reddened face was even more excited.

But Ning Zhiheng, who was on the side, heard Suzuki Mitsuji's introduction, but his heart was shocked, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

It turned out that he had heard of the reputation of this Nojima Ichiro, this person killed people like numbness, his hands were stained with the blood of the Chinese people, when the Sixth Division attacked Nanjing City, Nojima Ichiro's brigade led the advanced city, so he plundered and slaughtered the unarmed Nanjing citizens, and his subordinates alone killed more than 50,000 innocent Chinese soldiers and civilians, only killing white bones, blood flowed like rivers, layer by layer of corpses piled up outside the Zhonghua Gate, it can be said that he was a complete executioner.

Later, the Sixth Division fought in Central China, slaughtered innocent people, and caused many tragedies, but after being heavily damaged in the Battle of Changsha, it has been stationed in Wuhan, and this Nojima Ichiro has never returned to Nanjing, but today I saw this bastard here!

Ning Zhiheng looked at the officers of the Sixth Division led by Nojima Ichiro in front of him, with a complacent and complacent look, and his killing intent suddenly rose, he had not wanted to kill a person so impulsively, and secretly made up his mind in his heart, during his stay in Nanjing this time, he must find a way to take the lives of these people to relieve the hatred in his heart, otherwise his thoughts would not be clear.

After the officers had toasted, they filled their glasses again for the high-ranking officers, and then bowed and retreated.

At this time, Yoichi Miura greeted him, called Nojima Ichiro over, and introduced Ning Zhiheng: "Fujiwara-kun, Nojima-kun is also from Kyoto, our fellow countryman, we have the opportunity to take care of it." ”

Nojima Ichiro couldn't help but perk up when he heard this, he and Yoichi Miura had a very good personal relationship because they were fellow villagers in the old days, and they could be regarded as a cronies of Suzuki Mitsuji's line, and now when he heard Yoichi Miura introduce Fujiwara Tomohito to himself, he hurriedly bowed deeply again, and said respectfully: "I have heard the name of President Fujiwara for a long time, and it is an honor to see you today, and I ask for your care!" ”

Ning Zhiheng felt hatred in his heart, but he still showed an amiable smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Nojima-kun, we are all fellow villagers, and when we have time in the future, we can go to Fujiwara Club to talk about it, don't see too much!" ”

When Nojima Ichiro heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed, and then turned around and left.

Miura leaned over and whispered to Ning Zhiheng: "Nojima is very good, this time when he returns to Nanjing, he will soon be promoted, and he is a capable guy among his fellow villagers in Kyoto!" ”

Ning Zhiheng looked up at Ichiro Nojima, who had returned to the banquet and sat down, and nodded meaningfully.

And at this time, Zhan Yuanliang walked into the banquet hall, looked around, and saw the VIP seats at a glance, and the high-ranking officials and dignitaries at the top of Nanjing were sitting around with the three councilors, talking and laughing, and the interest was high.

However, Zhan Yuanliang was not in a hurry to get over, he still had to look for the second target, the Japanese biochemical expert Keisuke Ueno, if he could, he could also piggyback and get rid of it together.

Fortunately, the area in the hall is clearly distinguished, the traitors of the Japanese and the Nanjing government are separated, the east is the Japanese military officers and dignitaries, and the west is the officials of the Nanjing government.

Zhan Yuanliang slowed down, walked down the east aisle, and walked towards the VIP seat, his luck was very good, when he was about to walk to the VIP seat, he finally saw Keisuke Ueno, who was worthy of the rank of the Japanese Army's Daisa, talking to the officers next to him.

Zhan Yuanliang secretly rejoiced that Shang Zhenyun's judgment was not wrong, this person really came to the banquet, and they solved it together if they had the opportunity today.

At this time, he had already come to the vicinity of the VIP seat, and the long table next to the VIP seat was filled with abundant fruits and various drinks, sake, rice wine, red wine, etc., and he only needed to put the two bottles of sake in his hand on the long table, and the rest of the things were out of his control.

But because of what he was wearing, he still attracted the attention of others, because in this banquet hall, there were either gorgeously dressed and well-dressed dignitaries, or waiters and security personnel in uniform clothes, but Zhan Yuanliang was wearing casual clothes because he was going to cook in the kitchen.

As soon as he got closer, he was noticed by the guards who had been guarding the VIP seats.

The liaison officer behind Junpei Uehara, Tetsu Araki, stepped forward a few steps, stretched out his hand to stop Zhan Yuanliang, and looked at him vigilantly.

As the supreme head of the intelligence department of the Japanese dispatch army, how can the liaison officer around Junpei Uehara be mediocre? Tetsu Araki is also an elite carefully selected by Junpei Uehara from many subordinates, not only Junpei Uehara's confidant, but also an excellent intelligence officer, who works carefully and conscientiously, and has almost never made mistakes.

At this time, Araki Tetsu looked at Zhan Yuanliang, looked up and down carefully, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhan Yuan's conscience suddenly burst out, and he secretly screamed badly, he didn't expect that the Japanese would be so careful in the defense of these high-ranking officials, even in the banquet hall, there were security personnel to escort them, and he couldn't get close.

He raised the sake bottle in his hand, his face did not show the slightest abnormality, and replied calmly: "I am a staff member of the consulate, and I am responsible for delivering wine to the guests. ”

"Chinese?" Araki Tetsu frowned suddenly, although Zhan Yuanliang's Japanese was fluent, but he had some awkward feelings, Araki Tetsu suddenly mentioned that something was wrong, the other party did not look like Japanese.

Because this banquet has extremely important VIPs attending, security work is of course the top priority, for this reason the Japanese side specially emphasized that the security work of the banquet must be the responsibility of the Japanese military, even the service personnel must also be Japanese, and now after discovering that Zhan Yuanliang is a Chinese, Araki Tetsu suddenly became alert.

At this time, the Consul General who was still in the VIP seat was also aware of the movement here, and when he saw Zhan Yuanliang here, he couldn't help but be stunned, so he got up and walked over, and asked a little strangely: "Zhan Jun, aren't you helping in the kitchen?" ”

Hearing Horiko Kazujun say this, knowing that he knew the person in front of him, Araki Tetsu's vigilance relaxed slightly, but he still asked, "Mr. Consul, is this indeed a staff member of the consulate?" ”

Gong Ichichun did not doubt him, and immediately nodded in confirmation and said, "Yes, Araki-kun, this is Zhan Yuanliang, the clerk of our consulate. ”

After speaking, Gong Yichun turned his head to look at Zhan Yuanliang again, and asked suspiciously, "Zhan Jun, aren't you helping in the kitchen?" How did you get to the ballroom? ”

Zhan Yuanliang hurriedly explained: "Just now, Xiaoshanjun and they went to get the wine, saying that there were some people in the banquet hall who were tight and too busy, and I just finished the kitchen work, so I helped them bring the wine together." ”

Zhan Yuanliang didn't dare to mention Vice Consul Uchida again, because Consul Uchida was in a seat next to him, and he pushed the cause of the matter onto the two waiters.

Sure enough, Hori Gong Yichun is not a professional agent in the end, and he did not doubt Zhan Yuanliang's words, besides, although Zhan Yuanliang is Chinese, he has worked in the consulate for many years, and he has been performing well during this period, and he has long been trusted by Hori Gong Yichun, so he nodded and ordered: "Zhan Jun, today's situation is special, you don't want to stay here, put down the wine, go back to the kitchen to prepare some desserts, when the banquet is over, the guests need to eat some desserts." ”

"I'll go!" When Zhan Yuanliang heard this, he quickly nodded and agreed, and he was going to put the two bottles of sake in his hand on the long table, as long as the wine was left, the action would be half the success, as for how many people could be poisoned, it would depend on luck.

But Araki Tetsu was still not completely relieved, for some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with Zhan Yuanliang, but because Zhan Yuanliang was a staff member of the consulate, and there was Consul General Hori Gong Yichun as proof for him, because of the face of Hori Gong Yichun, he was not good to continue to ask.

But since he had doubts, the necessary defense work still had to be done, so he stopped Zhan Yuanliang's movements again and said, "There is no shortage of drinks here, I will send someone to fetch it if necessary." ”

Zhan Yuanliang suddenly sighed in his heart, the Japanese officer on the opposite side must have been suspicious of him.
