Beijing, Dongjiaomin Lane, Japanese Legation.

Suddenly there was a burst of lightning and thunder outside the window, Yanagihara looked up and saw that the sky outside the window was already covered with black clouds, and from time to time lightning cut through the darkness, making bursts of thunder, indicating that a storm was coming.

The scene in front of him suddenly made Yanagihara Maeko's thoughts go back to the past!

In a trance, Yanagihara Maemitsu returned to that unforgettable day......

The same sky, the same dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

Yanagihara Maemitsu looked at the dark clouds in the sky, got up suddenly, and walked out.

"Where are you going? Yanagihara-kun? Kido Takayo asked, looking at the back of Yanagihara Maehitsu, who was walking heavily.

"I'll go see him." Yanagihara Maemitsu paused, did not look back, but replied in a somewhat lonely voice.

"You're going to see Lin Yizhe?" Hirobumi Ito suddenly understood and asked.

"Yes......" Yanagihara Maemitsu's voice revealed unspeakable pain, "I'll beg him to let Japan ...... go"

"You're going to beg him?" Kido Takayo asked in a hoarse voice, of course he understood what Yanagihara Maemitsu's departure meant to his own personal reputation.

"Yes......"

"But...... Will he listen to you? ......" Kido asked again.

"If you don't try, how can you know?" Yanagihara hissed, "Now...... As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you should try it...... For Japan...... What do you want me to do...... I'm willing to ......."

Hearing Yanagihara Maeko's answer, the corners of Ito's eyes became moist.

Yanagihara Maemitsu couldn't bear to look at them again, he didn't speak, and walked to the door step by step, and an embassy staff member saw Yanagihara Maemitsu go out, worried that it would rain for a while, so he took an umbrella and followed out.

Yanagihara Maemitsu didn't know how he had come to the door of Kenryo Temple, and he walked forward calmly, until he saw the surprised and wary gazes of the gatekeeper and the guards, and then he came back to his senses.

"Who are you? Who are you looking for? The porter looked at Yanagihara Maeko, who was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and asked in a not very polite voice.

"Excuse me, please call Lord Lin Yizhelin, and say, the old man Yanagihara Qianguang asks to see him." Yanagihara Maemitsu said, took out a business card of his own from his pocket, handed it over, and stuffed a small door bag at the same time.

"Ouch! Lord Yanagihara, I can't do it! The porter glanced at this business card in his eyes, which was many times more shabby than the famous cards commonly used by Chinese scribes, and originally had a contempt in his heart, but the bluffing titles such as "Deputy Envoy of Japan" and "Senator" on the business card and Yanagihara Maemitsu's self-proclaimed "old friend" still played a certain role, and he accepted Yanagihara Maemitsu's business card, but rejected the door bag he handed over.

According to the rules, the door bag is not anyone's!

"You wait first, I'll go in and report to you." The porter said politely, took the business card and trotted away.

Yanagihara Maemitsu stood at the door, waited for a while, and after a while, the porter came back in a hurry.

"Mr. Yanagihara, my Lord Lin asked me to bring you a message, thank you for coming to visit, but now the peace has not been completed, and the official business is in person, so it is not appropriate to meet for the sake of avoiding suspicion. Please go back! ”

Yanagihara Maemitsu listened to the porter's words and didn't say anything, but stood there fixedly.

The porter waited for a while, and couldn't help but be surprised to see Yanagihara Maeko standing still and not leaving.

"Mr. Yanagihara, please go back!" The porter seemed to realize what Yanagihara Maemitsu was going to do, and urged him.

"If he doesn't see me, I won't leave." Yanagihara said with a blank expression, still standing in place.

Seeing his stubborn tone, the porter couldn't help frowning, and he no longer paid attention to Yanagihara Maeko, but turned back and closed the door.

Yanagihara looked at the small building inside the wall, didn't speak, just stood there.

It was late at night.

Outside the window, there was another flash of lightning, followed by bursts of thunder, and in the bursts of lightning, large dark clouds rolled and rolled, and a heavy rain was about to come.

"Lin Jun! For the sake of your old friendship, please stop persecuting Japan! ”

"Lin Jun! Qianguo and Japan should not always be enemies! Please leave a way for Japan to survive! Don't let the hatred between the two peoples go on forever for generations to come! ”

"Lin Jun! You and I are our own masters! I don't blame you for what you did! Because we are all fighting for the strength of our country! Japan has already paid a heavy price for the bandits' rampage, and I ask you to raise your hand and give this weak country a chance! ”

"Lin Jun! I understand the pain in your heart! But death cannot be resurrected! You've lost the one you love the most! But in Japan, too, thousands of families have lost their fathers, sons, and brothers! All of us suffer the same! This unfortunate event has already caused too many tragedies! It is our duty not to let such a tragedy happen again! ”

Yanagihara's voice echoed in the night sky, and for a moment it overwhelmed the sound of lightning and thunder.

"Ouch, I said Mr. Yanagihara! I beg you! Don't shout like this? The porter opened the door, and trotted to Yanagihara Qianguang, grinning ugly while bowing his hands, "You are moving, but you want to attract all the wolves on the edge of the capital!" ”

Yanagihara Maemitsu ignored the porter's words, and continued to roar loudly.

"Lin Jun! We are not enemies! Why don't you come out and meet me! ”

"Lin Jun! I beg you! Don't be so ruthless! Do you really want to make the hatred between the two countries perpetuate? ”

"Hey, hey, hey! Mr. Yanagihara! Please, don't howl like that? In the middle of the night, the people who live here are all big officials, and they all wake you up at this time! The porter was really anxious this time, and said to Yanagihara Maemitsu with a crying voice, "If this is all to blame, I won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”

Yanagihara Maemitsu was familiar with Chinese, and when he heard the porter's plea, he stopped, bowed deeply to him, and said, "Please tell Lord Lin for me!" Let me see him! ”

"Yes, Mr. Yanagihara, I've convinced you! I can't sleep because of your howl, and Lord Lin hasn't slept at this time, so I'm going to give you a shout! You wait, but don't howl anymore, won't you? The porter said to Yanagihara Maemitsu almost in a pleading voice.

Yanagihara nodded and bowed to the porter again.

Lin Yizhe's bedroom at Xianliang Temple is on the second floor of a small two-story building, and through the window, you can see the outside of the wall. At this time, Yanagihara Maemitsu clenched his fists, looked this way, and stood there straight. At the feet of Yanagihara Maemitsu, there is a wooden box.
