Yu Fangfei walked slowly along the riverbank, and the damp water vapor came to her face, blowing her hat veil onto her face, scratching her face and itching, making her think that she had shed tears, so she quickly raised her hand to wipe it, but only wiped it with both hands.

It turned out that there were no tears, Yu Fangfei breathed a sigh of relief, and then became uncomfortable again. She used to think that shedding tears was a sign of cowardice and incompetence, so she always gritted her teeth and forced the tears back, but now she finally got into a habit, but she felt even more sad.

She sat down on the stone steps by the river, looking at the vast river in a daze. A pair of men's leather shoes stopped beside her, and she thought it was a competition, and hurriedly looked up, but turned back in disappointment.

The man lifted his trousers and sat down beside her, "Are you waiting for someone?" ”

Yu Fangfei shook her head: "No." ”

The man asked, "Wait a minute?" ”

Yu Fangfei frowned, and her tone was cold: "You are the ...... of the competition"

"My name is Mian Gu," the man smiled, pulling out a business card and handing it over, all in Japanese and without a single Chinese character.

Yu Fangfei unexpectedly took a look at it and said, "Captain Cotton Valley?" ”

Cotton Valley nodded, pushed her glasses, stretched out her hand to Fang Fei, and spoke to her in Japanese: "Secret Service Cotton Valley Jinfu, please advise." ”

Yu Fangfei's back straightened, her depressed mood was swept away, and she took the initiative to get up, also in Japanese: "Yu Fangfei, head of the Torture Section of the Binhai Political Security Bureau, listen to the instructions." ”

Cotton Valley smiled and motioned for her to sit down: "This is not a formal meeting, Section Chief Yu, please take a seat." ”

Yu Fangfei lowered one step and sat down diagonally opposite him, so that the two could make eye contact when talking. Cotton Valley looked at her with an admiring expression: "You can almost be compared to Commander Kawashima. ”

The commander of Kawashima is Kawashima Yoshiko, the concubine of Prince Su, Aisin Jueluo Xianyu. Yu Fangfei was very happy with his compliment, and she proudly told Shino Cotton: "She is my cousin." ”

"Oh, oh, indeed, indeed," Cotton Valley nodded, "You both come from noble families, and if it weren't for that, you wouldn't be able to raise a woman like you." ”

He paused and then asked, "What's your Japanese name?" ”

Yu Fangfei shook her head: "I don't have a Japanese name. ”

Shino Cotton frowned and explained, "Don't you have a Japanese name like Commander Kawashima?" ”

"Nope." Yu Fangfei said, "No one gave me a Japanese surname. ”

"Then share my last name." Shinzaburo Cotton looked at her gently, "I gave you the surname that my father gave me, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Yu Fangfei looked at him in surprise, her voice trembling with excitement: "Is it okay?" ”

"Of course you can, it's also my honor to share my surname with the brave female generals of the empire." "You don't have to pay anything for this surname, it's a gift." I can give you another name if you want. ”

Yu Fangfei nodded excitedly, and Cotton Valley Jinfu took out a pen from his suit pocket, wrote the words "Jinyi" on a piece of paper, and showed it to Yu Fangfei.

"Cotton Valley," he said, "your name." ”

Yu Fangfei cherished the piece of paper with both hands, repeated the name aside, and saluted to Cotton Valley Jinfu: "Thank you, sir." ”

"You are now the one with the imperial surname," Shino Cotton said, helping her up, "The glory of the Emperor will always shine on you." ”

Yu Fangfei restrained her excitement and replied: "I have been blessed by the Emperor, and I have always been proud to share his worries and solve problems, if the Imperial Army is willing to give me a chance, I will do better." ”

Shino Cotton smiled and said, "You really need an opportunity like this. ”

Yu Fangfei was gloomy: "But there has never been such an opportunity." ”

Cotton Valley said: "Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. ”

Yu Fangfei said: "I have been preparing for a long time, and I have been preparing since I arrived in Japan. ”

"So what did you prepare?" Shino Cotton asked, "Are you ready to give everything for the Empire?" ”

Yu Fangfei stretched her shoulders, straightened her back, and was about to speak, when she suddenly remembered something, and her face turned pale: "Give everything...... What is everything? ”

Shino Cotton looked at her strangely: "What are you thinking?" ”

"I don't know...... Sir......" she muttered, "please make it clear." ”

Cotton Valley Jinfu was stunned for a few seconds, as if he suddenly reacted, and laughed: "Your everything, Miss, your loyalty, your blood, and even your life, as for the thing you are worried about......"

His eyes became ambiguous, but the words that came out were: "You still have control over it." ”

Yu Fangfei breathed a sigh of relief, and got up in a military posture: "I am willing to sacrifice everything for the empire, captain." ”

Shino Cotton Valley then stood up and patted her on the shoulder: "Okay, very good, Ms. Cotton Valley." ”

His slightly smiling face suddenly tensed, and his expression was serious: "Now, the empire needs you to sacrifice something. ”

Yu Fangfei looked at him with enthusiasm: "What? ”

"Love."

"What?"

"Your love," said Cotton Valley, "Tan Jing is sending someone to follow you." ”

"I don't have love." Yu Fangfei retorted first, and then said, "I know, he thought I killed his subordinates." ”

She looked at Shino Cotton Valley: "Don't you think so?" ”

Cotton Valley laughed: "Of course I don't think so, ma'am, because I killed Li Ling." ”

Yu Fangfei was taken aback: "You killed it?" You're not ......."

Shino Cotton Valley looked at her with a smile, his eyes and expressions, and even his tone were very soft, but the words he said were full of bitter coldness: "Shouldn't he be damned if he opposes the decisions of the empire and stirs up hostility among the citizens?" ”

"He's damned." Yu Fangfei nodded, "If I knew about this, I would have killed him too." ”

Cotton Valley asked again: "Tan Jing hates you because you killed him, right?" ”

Yu Fangfei didn't answer immediately, she knew that her answer would determine the life and death of Tan Jing to some extent.

"You have to give everything to the empire, including feelings." Shino Cotton gently reminded her, "If Tan Jing can't be loyal to the Empire, then he is your enemy." ”

"Secretary Midai Ono of the consulate once hinted that the director of our Political Security Bureau, Xie Liunian, investigated him, and Xie Liunian investigated something, but it was finally confirmed to be a misunderstanding. Someone stole his file to disguise his identity, that person was in Manchuria, had already been arrested. ”

"I know about this, the arrest carried out by the Manchurian secret service, that person's name is Li Du, and his real name is Tan Keji." "But have you ever thought about what if Tan Jing is his comrade-in-arms?" ”

Yu Fangfei was stunned.

"Then his death will become ironclad proof of Tan Jing's innocence and confuse us all." Shino Cotton Valley walked past her and looked at the river, "You are a loyal warrior of the Empire, your contribution is obvious to all, no one should doubt you, but Tan Jing doubts you." Li Ling criticized the empire's resolution in public, which was an act that everyone should be punished, but Tan Jing wanted to avenge his grievances. ”

He suddenly turned around: "Is he indeed loyal to His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

Yu Fangfei was speechless under his repeated questioning, she had been tortured in conversation, believing that he was an innocent person, so she felt safe and had a good impression of him.

If he really has a problem, then her favorability, her trust, and her safety will suddenly become a joke.

She weakly defended Tan Jing: "The consul general of the consulate, Qi Chuan, believes in him very much. ”

"Saints are not immune to making mistakes." "We can verify whether Consul General Sukawa's trust has been wrongly paid to others. ”

"Don't you know his details?"

Cotton Valley Jinfu smiled, and put his hand on Yu Fangfei's shoulder: "Jinyi, like you, I hope that he is innocent, and I hope that all these speculations are our hearts." If he is proven innocent, then your union will be a good story for the Empire, and even His Majesty the Emperor will bless you. ”

Yu Fangfei was silent for a moment: "He doesn't love me, and we won't be united." ”

Cotton Valley Jinfu said: "That's because he doesn't know you, just like ordinary people are scared by those rumors about you, and when he is confirmed to be safe, I can create some opportunities for you to get in touch, I promise, after he understands you, he will like you, you are a very, very, very likable young lady." ”

Yu Fangfei rolled her eyes and looked at Cotton Valley Jinfu: "Why do you suspect him?" ”

Cotton Valley Jinfu sighed, looking very regretful, but gave an answer with a donkey's lips not the horse's mouth: "Because of the Taizheng Hotel, there is no Song sister-in-law fish soup." ”
