Chapter 4: The Bronze Samurai
"Stop", a Japanese man in a light-colored suit, came slowly, with a kind face, a thin mustache, and a well-proportioned body, looking elegant and confident.
Seeing everyone's nervous looks, this guy smiled dumbly, "A little language entanglement, how big a deal can it be, China and Japan are very friendly, all brothers in the four seas, where is the turmoil on the ship."
"Contemptible, Yuki Matsushima, Xiangli of Matsushima Industrial Co., Ltd."
Liu Yun suddenly noticed that the man in gray in his hand trembled inadvertently, and thought that this guy was scared, and he secretly expected that most of them would not be able to fight, so he let go of his hand without leaving a trace.
"Matsushima-sama", the man in the gray kimono immediately nodded his head, he couldn't straighten up in front of Matsushima, his face was gray, "The villain is Otosuke Okazaki, I'm causing you trouble."
Seeing the decay of Boss Okazaki, several other people also noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly hid the forked ribs in the kimono, a little at a loss, just nodded to Matsushima blankly.
"You know me", Matsushima looked smiling, and an invisible chill came out, forcing Okazaki to kneel down quickly, and even the audience not far away felt that the temperature was dropping.
"My lord, please don't get me wrong", Okazaki was not cold, but hot, the sweat on his head came out at once, and he hurriedly whispered, "I am a follower of Tada-sama, and I have met adults in Wakayama".
"It turned out to be a person from Shinzo Tada", Matsushima suddenly realized, and asked indifferently, "Why don't you go to China with that kid from Tada to farm in the countryside of Shikoku?" ”
"My lord-", the four Japanese were a little embarrassed, and they didn't know what to say.
"Forget it, it's not difficult for you", Matsushima looked like a spring breeze, but his tone was unquestionable, "but you have to remember one thing, you must learn to keep a low profile when you go out, understand, and retreat."
"Hey", Okazaki took the other three people and hunched over like an amnesty, and the onlookers also knew that there was nothing wrong, so they gradually dispersed, leaving only Liu Yun and others.
Looking at the returnees who were obviously relieved, Matsushima Yuki did not despise them, but smiled before speaking, "Although we don't know each other, according to contemptible observations, several of you should be great intellectuals and university scholars, and it is not worth fighting with a few vulgar peasants."
Although Yu Yaowen and the others returned from overseas, they were also knowledgeable at this time, and they no longer dared to say what happened to China and Japan, so they had to get off the donkey down the slope, bow their heads and say thank you.
"Since you take our Japanese mail ship, you are our Japanese friend," Matsushima said, "I admire your knowledge, and if you are in Japan, you are definitely a candidate for the Golden Samurai, so if you want to make me a friend, please go to Hongkou Matsushima Industrial Co., Ltd."
Yu Yaowen was a little moved, Zhang Boyu and others hurriedly grabbed him, Matsushima Yuki didn't say anything, just said goodbye with a smile, and strolled away very chicly.
Zhang Boyu and other returnees thanked Liu Yun again, but after a while of greetings, they found that the sky was a little dark, so they went back to the cabin to rest, or went to the restaurant to wait for dinner.
When Liu Yun was about to arrive at the cabin, he found that Shimahara Kiyoichi was waiting for him at the door, but his face was a little ugly, and after entering, Shimahara immediately closed the cabin door, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Liu Yunjun, you are too reckless, you almost died today."
Liu Yun was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know what he was talking about.
"You met the Bronze Samurai today," Shimahara's voice was low and heavy.
"Bronze Samurai", Liu Yun quickly reacted, "Are you talking about Okazaki?" ”
"Okazaki, it's just a dog", Shimahara looks like you're stupid, "I'm talking about Yuki Matsushima, and Shinzo Tada hiding in the shadows".
"Bronze samurai, is it really powerful", Liu Yun suddenly thought of what Matsushima said before leaving, so he asked, "Is there any silver samurai?" ”
"You actually know the Silver Samurai", Shimahara felt a little incredible.
Liu Yun concisely said the Golden Saint Seiya in the comics in the 21st century, and described the protagonists in it, Seiya and Athena, etc.
"Who made this up", Shimahara was a little crying and laughing, "12 Golden Samurai, Japan's Golden Samurai, has already exceeded 800 people", speaking of which, it seems that something came to mind, "If you refer to the beginning of the establishment of the Golden Samurai, 12 is still possible."
"Golden Warrior, it's really so powerful", Liu Yun didn't expect the Golden Saint Seiya, well, the Golden Warrior really exists, "There really are Pegasus Meteor Fist, Light Speed Fist, Golden Holy Clothes".
"It's good to be able to reach the speed of sound", Shimahara suddenly laughed, "If it's about fighting, you, Liu Yunjun, can kill more than a dozen of them alone."
"What's wrong", Liu Yun smirked and rubbed his hands embarrassedly.
"Seeing that you want to know so much, well, it's better to call Mr. Shimahara to listen", Shimahara squinted coquettishly, Liu Yun found that his face was hot and his heart was beating fast, so he hurriedly turned around, and thought straight to Amitabha Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva in his heart, God, I'm not a foundation.
"Japan has three national treasures", Shimahara got back to business and didn't make fun of Liu Yun anymore.
"I know this, the Sword of the Grass Pheasant, the Eight Mirrors, and the Qiong Goyu."
Sure enough, he was a good student, well, Shimahara said he was very satisfied and decided to start the official explanation.
"The Grass Pheasant Sword, also known as the Heavenly Cloud Sword, is said to be made of the bones of the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, which was first worn by the emperor's brothers, and was named Wuzun because of its outstanding martial arts, so it is also called the Sword of Wuzun, and it is a symbol of the emperors and samurai of the Guard", speaking of this, Shimahara gritted his teeth.
"After the Meiji Restoration, the Konoe samurai were changed to bronze samurai, with the contemporary samurai as the core, swore allegiance to the emperor to the death, and became the blade of the emperors of all dynasties to eliminate dissidents and assassinate domestic and foreign dignitaries, and since the Manchurian Incident, the scale of the bronze samurai has continued to expand, and the number of bronze samurai has now exceeded 200."
Liu Yun understood that this Shimahara Qingichi was most likely a descendant of a persecuted dignitary.
"These bronze samurai, most of whom were born in the Chinese ethnic group, grew up in the Shinto Society, received the most brutal training to kill, in addition to being loyal to the emperor, they are constantly killing or committing suicide, and they are killing their own lives and other people's lives quickly, the more elegant and amiable, the more they like to kill people in different ways", Shimahara looked indifferent, as if he was also one of them.
Liu Yun was a little shocked in his heart, no wonder when Japan invaded China and Southeast Asia, there were always massacres, it turned out to be an upward and downward effect, and the emperor himself was the biggest murderer.
"Liu Yunjun, you must pay attention to the fact that when the bronze warriors kill people, they never reason, there are no signs, and they don't talk about the spirit of bushido, so it's best not to have conflicts with them, otherwise you have to kill them immediately, otherwise you will be the one who dies."
Afraid that Liu Yun would lose his fighting spirit, Shimahara smiled slightly and hurriedly reassured him, "Fortunately, they are very arrogant, and they are used to wearing calamus grass that symbolizes the grass pheasant sword, which is easy to identify."
Liu Yun also remembered that there was a piece of calamus grass in the pocket of Matsushima's jacket, which was indeed in the shape of a bronze sword, and at that time he thought that Matsushima Yuki was attaching elegance.
"Okay", Kiyoichi Shimahara stood up, "it's not too early."
"Well, that, isn't it", Liu Yun also wanted to hear about the Golden Samurai and the Silver Samurai.
"We will arrive in Shanghai tomorrow, our flight will rest there for half a month, we have time", Shimahara seemed to see through Liu Yun's thoughts, "Liu Yunjun, good night." ”
Although Shimahara drifted away, Liu Yun turned sideways repeatedly, thinking about it, and couldn't sleep for a long time, maybe when he arrived at Ningbo Port, he fell asleep in a daze.
When Liu Yun woke up, the mail boat was about to enter the Huangpu River, and there was already a commotion on the boat, but fortunately, his luggage was simple, so he washed his face and combed his hair, sorted out his clothes, brightened his leather shoes, and then took out some biscuits, chewed on the deck, and watched the scenery of the Huangpu River.
The water of the Huangpu River is very turbid, slightly yellow and dark, there are some messy garbage floating on the river surface, it is not easy to find out if you don't pay attention to it, the speed of the cruise ship has dropped to 12 knots, compared with the surrounding sailboats and small wooden boats, it is still a lot faster, and the road is quite stable.
Occasionally, one or two warships, or large cargo ships, came from opposite sides, and they all sounded their horns or flags to each other, and the speed of the mail ships dropped sharply.
With the deepening of the boats, the trees on both sides of the river are still dense, there are more and more pedestrians, the trucks are gradually decreasing, rickshaws, buses and cars are also occasionally seen, the prosperity is not seen, the shantytowns are endless, this is the most developed Shanghai in the 30s.
Although he has not seen the style of the Bund, the Bund is a concession area, which is not the norm in China at all, and what can truly reflect the truth is the urban-rural belt close to the Bund, only to see poverty and backwardness.
The mail ship finally landed, and as soon as the long ladder of disembarkation was put down, whether it was the Chinese, the Germans, the Americans, and the Japanese, they all poured out like a tide.
The crowd of people who went ashore, some carried their bags and walked directly to the city, some got on the rickshaw, some waited for the bus across the street, some were directly picked up by their families, and many people seemed to be waiting for someone.
Accustomed to the Spring Festival in the 21st century, Liu Yun didn't care about the floating life in front of him at all, and slowly moved to the vicinity of the long ladder along the gradually thinning flow of people.
Liu Yun was a little unbearable, but fortunately, his body had been strengthened by alien technology, and it was quite easy to carry dozens of kilograms, so he didn't think too much about it for a while, and hurriedly said "I'll help you", regardless of the abruptness, he carried the box with his hand, and the female student glanced at him, lowered her head and silently followed him off the boat.
glanced at the female student, who was quite beautiful, with long hair, white and delicate skin, and a French pleated skirt, it seemed that she had seen it somewhere, Liu Yungang wanted to say, "You are very much like someone I know."
"Daddy", the schoolgirl suddenly shouted in surprise.
I saw two middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, Liu Yun looked at it, and immediately became stupid, the one who called the female student her father was easy to say, wearing a homespun gown, with a pair of gold-wire glasses, elegant and low-key, and the appearance was seven or eight points like the female student, and at first glance, he knew that it was a father and daughter, and he had indeed never seen it.
Another Liu Yun knows him very well, his skin is dark, his cheekbones are slightly protruding, he is dressed in a navy blue suit, his eyes are bright, and his demeanor is hidden in the demeanor of a soldier, named Liu Yuangeng, who is also a descendant of the Liu family in Sichuan.
