"It is impossible for one to walk into the same river twice. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"What?" Wang Zhen turned his head and looked at his partner strangely, what he just said made him incomprehensible, "What did you just say?" What does it mean that 'it is impossible for a person to walk into the same river twice'? ”

"Nothing, a famous quote once uttered by a Greek philosopher." Easter•Hartman shrugged, then shook his head again. He also didn't understand why he suddenly thought of Heraclitus's famous quote and said it...... It's so weird.

Wang Zhen couldn't understand his confusion, he just felt that the guy who said that must be in his right mind. "I think that guy must be a psychopath. It is impossible for a person to walk into the same river twice? Just kidding, I walked back and forth in the same river seven or eight times a day when I was a kid......"

"These are two different things, king. There is a difference between the two...... "Hartmann also did not know how to explain an esoteric philosophical question to Wang Zhen, he did not know what philosophy was, and he did not know who Heraclitus was. So he thought about it for a while, and finally gave up trying.

He shifted the conversation in other directions. "Look at the Japanese around you, they look at you very unfriendly."

"That's right. So I told you a long time ago that I wanted to stay in the hotel. Wang Zhen sighed. He felt that he had made two mistakes: first, he should not have accepted Hartman's lure to go to Shimonoseki for vacation, and second, he should not have accepted Hartman's lure to wander the streets.

The hostile gaze from the Japanese around him made him uncomfortable and uneasy—especially the ronin. Although the Japanese government has long issued a "sword abolition order", who knows if these guys will hide a short knife under their kimonos?

Wang Zhen felt that his location was not a noisy street, but a dense deep mountain forest, and he was already surrounded by a group of terrible beasts.

It's a really bad feeling. The only thing that made Wang Zhen a little relieved was that he and Hartman were surrounded by twenty special service members of the company's internal affairs department, and these carefully selected white strong men successfully eliminated the Japanese attempt to attack him, otherwise ......

Wang Zhen hardly dared to imagine what the result would be.

"Japanese people are crazy." He grunted.

"It looks like so." Hartman couldn't agree more. The Japanese gaze made Wang Zhen feel uneasy and uncomfortable - because they were together, some hostile gazes also fell on him. "It's a dangerous country." He said.

"So I think we should get out of here right away." Wang Zhen would love to go back to San Diego, where he is having a great time.

What's more, now they should also go back, Rachel gave them the task of following the two warships to Shanghai and handing them over to the Minister of Nanyang, now that the mission has been completed, why are they running around outside?

But Hartman didn't want to go back yet. "I'd like to wait a little bit and get some news. Wang, your minister of Beiyang is negotiating with the Japanese here, don't you want to know the outcome of the peace talks? ”

Wang Zhen shook his head. "I'm just a businessman, and national affairs have nothing to do with me."

"Obviously, you made two mistakes." Hartman looked at him seriously and admonished: "As a Chinese, if you are patriotic enough, you should care about major political events in China; As a businessman, if you want to make money, you should be more concerned about major political events around the world. ”

"But the tradition of our Chinese is not to talk about state affairs...... Uh, that is, don't talk about politics......"

A sudden uproar interrupted Wang Zhen's explanation. He and Hartmann looked around strangely, and the Japanese on the street were rushing in one direction, as if they were scrambling to see something. They looked in the direction where the Japanese had gathered, and it seemed to lead to ...... The road leading to the temple?

Hartmann knew that the place where Li Hongzhang stayed was the Yinjie Temple. He smiled at Wang Zhen. "These Japanese seem to be interested in your Beiyang minister."

"I don't think that's a good thing." Wang Zhen thought of the Japanese looking at him, and his body trembled slightly.

"Don't worry so much, King. No matter how crazy the Japanese are, I don't think they are stupid enough to assassinate a foreign minister who came to negotiate. Hartman reassured, "This is a serious, very serious political event. ”

Still, he underestimated the stupidity of the Japanese.

As soon as his words fell, two gunshots rang out from the crowd.

Someone assassinated Li Hongzhang! Wang Zhen was frightened by what had just happened, and shouted at Hartman: "East, what were you talking about just now? The Japanese would not be stupid enough to assassinate a foreign minister who came to negotiate? God, they've done that! ”

Hartman's face also became unusually ugly. It's not because my predictions were wrong, but because I ...... His Excellency the Minister of Beiyang is an important client of the company and the only high-ranking Chinese official he knows, if he is dead now...... Is it time for your sales pitch in China to start again? It's not much fun.

Damn Japanese pigs! He cursed the assassin loudly in his stomach and shouted to Wang Zhen and the nervous-looking special service members, "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Hearing his shouts, a group of people began to run in the direction where the gunshots came. At first, Hartmann thought it might be a bit difficult because there were many Japanese people standing in their way. Soon, however, the Japanese began to retreat to either side, as if to escape something—the answer was soon revealed, and when the crowd had completely dispersed, Hartman saw a Japanese man with a pistol rushing towards him.

It is impossible to walk into the same river twice.

Just as the negotiations that began on March 20 were different from the negotiations that Qin Lang knew -- in the history he knew, Japan did not have an armistice at the beginning of the negotiations, and it was Li Hongzhang who proposed the armistice, and because the conditions could not satisfy Japan's appetite, they were rejected by Ito Hirobumi and Mutsu Munemitsu; Of course, there were many other differences—in the new 1895, Toyotaro Koyama, who assassinated Li Hongzhang, also chose a different escape route.

Instead of running to the grocery store, he ran in the other direction, where Hartman, Wang Zhen, and twenty armed agents were rushing to the scene of the accident.

They met as a matter of course...... Almost met.

When the distance between the two sides was almost ten meters, Toyotaro Koyama had raised his hand and pointed his gun at the white man who was blocking his path. "Get out of the way! Get out of the way! He shouted. The Japanese police protecting Li Hongzhang were in the back, if he was blocked by these whites...... Even if he only blocked it for a short time, he would lose the chance to escape.

Absolutely not to be blocked! Toyotaro Koyama shouted again: "Let's hurry! Get out of the way! ”

But neither Hartman, Wang Zhen, nor the secret service members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs could understand Japanese; The Japanese translator they hired was completely frightened when they heard the gunshot, and now they are still in place, not following at all.

So they didn't get out of the way, they just stopped. At the same time, due to the habit developed over the years, the special service members invariably put their hands into their coats.

Toyotaro Koyama didn't understand the meaning of their movements, but he was now at the most dangerous moment, and after a brief hesitation, he pulled the trigger.

At such close range—not even five meters—no matter how bad his marksmanship was, Toyotaro Koyama could always hit some of the less fortunate operatives. As a result, at the same time as the gunshots rang out, the Secret Service members who were walking at the back found themselves hit by a bullet in their left hand.

"Hell, I got hit!" He cried out.

His shouts were accompanied by another, louder gunshot. The special service member who walked at the front had already pulled out his "anaconda" pistol and sent a bullet to Toyotaro Koyama's head.

A .44 Magnum caliber hollow-tipped warhead drilling into someone's head will produce only one result. It burrowed into Toyotaro Koyama's forehead, deformed, shattered, tumbled, and finally pierced through the back of the Japanese head, erupting violently along with the blood and brain tissue in the brain.

It was a spectacular sight that the vast majority of Japanese people had never seen, and even the Japanese policemen who caught up were frightened. So after a short silence, the screams soon rang out in the street.

"Oh my god, this is horrible, Hartman." Wang Zhen looked at some bold Japanese and Japanese policemen who were slowly surrounding him, and then looked at the corpses on the ground. He was a little surprised that he hadn't vomited, but now, it seemed that there was more serious trouble.

He had a headache. "We just killed one man."

"A killer who assassinated a Chinese negotiator...... A dangerous element. Hartman seemed calm, but still flustered. In the United States, it's easy to deal with this kind of thing, but here is Japan...... Wait a minute. He turned his head to look at the Secret Service Operative, who was shouting with his arms folded, and laughed. "Don't worry, King, we're defending ourselves. And ......"

He changed his angry face and walked menacingly towards a Japanese policeman who was frowning and examining the body, and roared loudly in English: "I protest! I would like to lodge a serious protest with you! ”

Looking at Hartman's back, Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then began to shake his head. "I finally understand what it means for the wicked to sue first."

He then set his sights on the location of the assassination. "I hope Master Li is safe and sound." Wang Zhen muttered, "Otherwise, the company's business ......"
