Chapter 37: Wine Fighting (1)

New Dragon Inn is the largest restaurant in Pyongyang.

Shi Lang did not rush to the Xinlong Inn with Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu and Xie Yuan. According to the division of labor during the day, Shi Lang left the city alone from the West Gate of Pyongyang City and rushed to the Golden Light Temple.

After seeing Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang briefly reported the progress of the reconnaissance in the city, and agreed with Luo Shiyin: Once the reconnaissance mission is completed, the personnel entering the city will leave the city from the Qixing Gate; Luo Shiyin will lead the rest of the squad to answer outside the Seven Star Gate.

Before dark, Shi Lang returned to the home of Zheng Zai, the city of Pyongyang.

The reason why the Seven Star Gate was chosen as the location to leave the city is because this place is the closest to the mountain. Insiders can quickly hide into the mountains after leaving the city.

Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu, and Xie Yuan rushed to Fengyue Pavilion first, and after meeting Liu Yingying, they rushed to the Xinlong Inn together.

Ye Ruliu and Liu Yingying hit it off at first sight, and they called each other sisters.

"Yingying, in our operation, my sister is the wife of Brother Zheng Zai, who wants to pretend to be a mute. You have to keep that in mind, don't goof it when the time comes. Xie Yuan told Liu Yingying.

"Don't worry, remember. I will cooperate well with Sister Ru Liu then. Liu Yingying said briskly.

"Brother, don't be such a mother-in-law. With Liu Yingying's cleverness, there will definitely be no problems. Ye Ruliu said.

"Why am I a little nervous!" Zheng Zai, who was traveling with him, attended such an occasion for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Brother Zheng, what are you afraid of? There we have it! If you see these Japanese people as a bunch of fools and stupid people, you won't be nervous. Xie Yuan appeased Zheng Zai.

"A bunch of fools, a bunch of fools; A bunch of fools, a bunch of fools! Zheng took a deep breath and said something in his mouth.

"How do you feel?" Xie Yuan waited for Zheng to finish talking again and asked.

"Hey, don't say it yet. It works. Feels so much better! Zheng Zai said happily.

While the four of them were laughing, they had already seen the tall roof of the New Dragon Inn in front of them.

When Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan, and Liu Yingying arrived at the door of the Xinlong Inn, it was already bustling inside and outside the inn.

Distinguished officials and business representatives from Pyongyang who have been invited have arrived one after another, and most of these people, with the exception of a few who tend to be inflammatory, were forced to attend the inaugural meeting of the so-called Pyongyang Federation of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs because of the coercion of the Japanese people.

Liu Yingying's arrival was entirely because of Xie Yuandi's invitation. She received an invitation from President Konishi and Xie Yuandi at the same time, if it was only President Konishi who invited her, Liu Yingying would not come, but Xie Yuan invited her, and she readily agreed.

Liu Yingying knew that Xie Yuan's mission was about to be completed, and she cherished every opportunity to meet Xie Yuan very much.

The two large pillars in front of the door of the Xinlong Inn are full of huge red lanterns, and on the outside of the lanterns are two columns of blue flags of the Japanese army with strip patterns. The night breeze blew, and the flags were displayed in front of the inn, adding a little majesty to this lively conference.

"Welcome to President Zheng!" Governor Konishi had already led a group of high-ranking generals of the Japanese army to wait at the door of the Xinlong Inn.

Jing Zhe Xuansu followed closely behind Konishi Yukicho and was in charge of translation.

"The general greeted him personally, Zheng is really honored!" Zheng Zai hurriedly stepped forward to return the salute.

"President Zheng is polite, tonight's grand event is specially held for you, and you are the most precious guest of the party!" Governor Konishi seemed to be in a good mood, and he held Zheng Zai's hand and said loudly.

"If that's the case, Zheng is really a little flattered!" Zheng Zai greeted.

"Yingying, I'm very happy that you can accept my invitation and come to the banquet!" President Konishi thought that Liu Yingying had accepted his invitation to come, and held Liu Yingying's hand, and his joy was beyond words.

Liu Yingying didn't say anything, and smiled reluctantly.

"Everyone applauds and welcomes!" Standing behind Governor Konishi, Ichiro Sugitani, the president of the Koga Kinkai Association, shouted loudly.

There was a round of applause.

"Everyone, please come inside!" Governor Konishi beckoned everyone to go inside.

"Mrs. Zheng is really shining today!" In order to liven up the atmosphere, President Konishi joked with Zheng Zai as he walked.

In order not to make herself too eye-catching, Ye Ruliu just dressed up briefly before leaving, but she still looked very eye-catching.

"Who is that beautiful woman next to Zheng Zai?"

"I don't know. Hey, whatever, it's good to be alive and well these days. Why do you care so much! It's only right to eat more food later. ”

Among the people invited to the conference were Zheng Zai's acquaintances, who looked at Ye Ruliu and whispered.

"The general has won the prize." Hearing the words of President Konishi praising Ye Ruliu translated by Jing Zhe Xuansu, Zheng Zai hurriedly said.

Ye Ruliu politely raised her head and smiled at Governor Konishi.

At the moment when Ye Ruliu raised her head, she found that among the group of Japanese people in the hall, a pair of vicious eyes were staring at her, and this hostile look was not from anyone else, it was from the first killer of the "Koga Concentric Society", "Flower Butterfly" Izumo Kumi!

After smiling at Governor Konishi, Ye Ruliu calmed herself down quickly, and at this time, there was no panic on her face at all.

In a very short period of time, Ye Ruliu made a very correct judgment on the current dangerous situation: Izumo Kumi did not dare to attack immediately. This is because today's occasion is a conference carefully planned and organized by Governor Konishi with the theme of Japan-DPRK cooperation. Izumo Kumi is just a small Japanese ninja, and without being completely sure, she would not dare to risk ruining the celebration of President Konishi and act rashly. Thinking of this, Ye Ruliu didn't look directly at Izumo Kumi, she calmly took Zheng Zaidi's arm and walked towards the hall.

Just as Ye Ruliu judged, Izumo Kumi recognized Ye Ruliu at a glance. When she heard Governor Konishi call Ye Ruliu Mrs. Zheng, she was a little unsure for a while, she was not completely sure that the beautiful woman in traditional Korean clothes in front of her was Ye Ruliu.

Kumi Izumo knew in her heart that tonight's event was carefully planned by Commander-in-Chief Konishi to promote friendship between Japan and North Korea. In this case, if you rush to attack, once you recognize the wrong person, it is very likely that this celebration will be disrupted.

Izumo Kumi thought about it again and again, and decided to hold on to it first, and then act at the opportunity.

In Izumo Kumi's opinion, if the woman in front of her was really Ye Ruliu, then she would definitely not act alone, and there must be other members of the Daming Jinyi Guard in the city. Only by secretly keeping an eye on Ye Ruliu first can it be possible to catch them all.

The celebration was held in a peaceful atmosphere. First of all, President Konishi, on behalf of all the Japanese troops stationed in Pyongyang, delivered a congratulatory speech on the establishment of the Pyongyang Federation of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs. Next is Zheng Zai's speech as the first president.

Zheng Zai was not good at talking on such occasions, he just read the manuscript that Shi Lang and Xie Yuan had prepared for him last night.

After Zheng read it again, the applause from the audience was mixed with some boos.

Zheng Zai's face was embarrassed, and he walked off the stage in a bit of embarrassment.

"Congratulations, Chairman Zheng!" President Konishi shook hands with Zheng Zai and congratulated him.

"Good! Well said! I didn't expect President Zheng to have such good eloquence. After Zheng finished speaking, President Konishi stepped forward to congratulate him.

"The general has won the prize!" Zheng wiped the beads of sweat from his face again and held the outstretched hands of Konishi Yukicho.

"In the future, I hope that Chairman Chung will take a lot of effort to promote economic exchanges between the two countries."

"Definitely, definitely."

"Okay, let's have a toast to the future of close cooperation!"

After Konishi finished speaking, the waiter next to him brought a tray with two glasses of Japanese sake on it.

Konishi picked up one cup first, then gestured that he was picking up another. The two looked at each other and smiled, clinking glasses and drinking them all.

Next, President Konishi led Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu, and Xie Yuan into a room in the back.

"Your Excellency General, look at the signing between us......" Zheng did not forget about the signing again, and as soon as he entered the room, he was ready to mention the matter.

"President Cheng seems to be a man of impatience. You don't have to worry about that, the next step is our signing ceremony. However, more than a dozen Pyongyang businessmen signed up to participate this time. The processing volume of cotton clothes this time is large, and if only Mr. Zheng's family undertakes it, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete it on schedule before the winter comes. I think it is not Mr. Zheng that you take the lead and unite these dozen companies to jointly complete it, and we will discuss the specific amount of each company's commitment. I don't know what you think? Konishi said.

"This ......, otherwise, I will sign a processing agreement with His Excellency the General on behalf of more than a dozen of our participants, and then I will organize them to complete it together. I will talk to them about the specific division of labor, so as to save your Excellency the commander-in-chief. Do you think it's okay? ”

Governor Konishi thought for a while, readily agreed, and said, "You see, I forgot that Mr. Chung is now the president of the Pyongyang Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and he should exercise the right to be the president. Ha ha! ”

"Your Excellency the General is such a cheerful person!" Xie Yuan, who was standing on the side, said.

"Young man, it's all because I'm so happy today!" As he spoke, Governor Konishi patted Xie Yuan affectionately with his hand, and at the same time, glanced at Liu Yingying beside Xie Yuan with loving eyes.

"Excuse me, does each soldier make one set of cotton clothes or more than one? If it is more than one set, we have several sets of styles. Xie Yuan asked.

"You don't need more than one set, one set per person, you can solve the urgent need. I think it won't be long before the follow-up supplies from our Wa Kingdom will be delivered. Yukicho Konishi said without thinking.

This was followed by the signing ceremony between the two parties. When Zheng Zai signed, Xie Yuan, who was standing behind Zheng Zai, clearly saw that there was such a line on the agreement: "A total of 18,600 sets of cotton clothes are needed...... and he was overjoyed, it seemed that there were less than 20,000 Japanese troops in Pyongyang.

At this point, all the rituals have been carried out.

Everyone present took their seats and drank and talked.

Yukinaga Konishi, Gensu Keizaki, Ichiro Sugitani, Kumi Izumo, Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan, and Liu Yingying sat on the chair of the private room on the second floor. Jing Zhe Xuansu was in charge of the translation.

The position where Izumo Kumi was sitting was exactly opposite to Ye Ruliu. Looking at each other so closely, Izumo Kumi firmed up her judgment: this person is Ye Ruliu, a member of the Daming team. A vicious thought rose in her heart: Today, she must find an opportunity to show the Ming woman in front of her in her original form!

Ye Ruliu had already read her evil heart from Izumo Kumi's eyes, and it seemed that this woman was going to attack herself.

Sure enough, after several people more important than herself at the scene finished the drinking order, Izumo Kumi saw the opportunity and began to make a move to Ye Ruliu.

"Mrs. Zheng's clothes are so beautiful, I wonder if you can introduce this style to Jiumi?" Izumo Kumi predicts that a leader of the Salt Gang, who has been roaming the rivers and lakes since childhood and has no formal education, will definitely not be proficient in the Korean language. As soon as Ye Ruliu opened her mouth, her fake identity would be revealed.

"I'm sorry, my wife is mute." Zheng Zai didn't know the true identity of Izumo Kumi, he just saw from the clothes that this was a Japanese woman, and when he saw Izumo Kumi asking Ye Ruliu, he hurriedly said.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman can't speak!" Izumo Kumi's face was full of yin and yang weirdness.

Although Ye Ruliu couldn't understand what Yun Jiumei had just said, from the sinister eyes of the woman on the other side, she could tell that this woman had begun to attack herself. She looked at Kumi Izumo calmly, waiting for the other party to continue to make moves.

"Shall I give Mrs. Zheng a drink?" Izumo Kumi said, picking up the wine glass and looking at Ye Ruliu with a provocative gaze.

Ye Ruliu slowly picked up the wine glass, and there was a trace of contempt in her eyes.

The two women tacitly understood each other and drank the wine in their glasses at the same time.

"Ouch, I didn't expect Mrs. Zheng to drink so refreshingly! How about three more toasts between you and me? "Izumo Kumi couldn't make a plan, and he made a new move. She wanted to get Ye Ruliu drunk and let Ye Ruliu reveal her prototype.

Of course, Ye Ruliu saw Izumo Kumi's wishful thinking, and she decided to plan and teach the woman in front of her a good lesson.
