Chapter 083: Boarding the ship
Lunch was indeed very rich, Xia Kejun sat on the side and kept picking up vegetables for Muyang, watching Muyang eat the dishes he had sandwiched over, with a satisfied smile on his face.
"Okay, okay, don't be in the clip, I've eaten a lot, you eat too?" Muyang said.
Xia Kejun smiled and said, "I like to watch Brother Mu eat." ”
"Shall we eat together?"
"Hmm," Xia Kejun nodded, and then he started eating, and his eyes still looked at Muyang from time to time.
In the afternoon, when Muyang left, Xia Kejun stood outside the gate, watching Muyang's figure disappear at the mouth of the alley, and then reluctantly returned to the room.
took out the barge gun from the drawer, which was not beautiful on the surface, and slowly wiped it with a white hand towel, "Brother Mu, if someone wants to bully Ke Jun, Ke Jun will resist directly, and if there is a crisis, I will also leave a bullet for myself." ”
Muyang left the French Concession and walked around the Bund again before returning to the International Hotel.
Just as Muyang was about to open the door, the door of the room on the other side was opened, and Seiichiro Kikuta walked out of it.
"Your Excellency Kurita, there is something I need to report to you."
"Okay, come in with me." Mu Yang could also guess what he wanted to say.
Walking into the room, Mu Yang asked, "Staff Kikuta, what is there to say?" ”
"Your Excellency, the Kikunomaru from Southeast Asia will arrive at the Shanghai dock in the early hours of tomorrow morning, and it is expected to leave Shanghai at noon tomorrow and return directly to Tokyo. Chief of Staff Tsukada: Let me ask you if you want to take this ship to Japan. Seiichiro Kikuta asked respectfully.
"Yes, it's time to leave, the current Shanghai, it's really not peaceful, even the Imperial General Kotaro Nakamura, has fallen here, I really don't know how the Imperial Army manages this place, it's really disappointing." Mu Yang said in a very helpless tone.
Seiichiro Kikuta lowered his head by Muyang's words, he was also a member of the Shanghai War Department, although it was not his responsibility, but Muyang said this, Kikuta also felt gloomy.
"Okay, I know, you'll pick me up tomorrow. By the way, did the staff officer of Etojima also take this boat back to Tokyo? "Muyang wants to reconfirm the situation of that batch of antiques.
"Yes, Staff Officer Eto will escort a batch of supplies to Tokyo, so I will take this ship back." Kikuta replied.
Muyang nodded, didn't say anything more, and Jutian said goodbye and left very sensibly.
Walking to the window and looking at the street scene outside the window, the houses and trees illuminated by the sunset are dyed gold, but in this era, how many people will enjoy these scenery with peace of mind.
At 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Staff Officer Kikuta knocked on Muyang's door again. Muyang took out a suitcase and got into the car driven by Kikuta. To be honest, this is Muyang's first sedan in this era, and it's really a shame to say.
"Your Excellency, what about the things you bought, don't you need to ship them back?" Kikuta asked in the car.
Mu Yang looked at the careful and troublesome staff officer Kikuta, and said nonchalantly: "I have asked Jiang Tengjun to transport it to the ship, and you don't need to care about these." ”
"Yes, I see." Kikuta replied.
Kikuta guessed in his heart that it was estimated that the things that needed to be transported were not only those purchased tea, silk and other items, but also the items of His Excellency Kurita's mission this time, it seemed that he had talked a lot. Kikuta secretly blamed himself, and then stopped talking.
The car soon came to the pier, and Muyang saw a big ship parked by the pier, and many passengers were boarding the ship one after another. Muyang did not see the loading and unloading of materials, it is estimated that the Japanese have already loaded the materials overnight, after all, this kind of plundering of other countries' treasures is not easy to publicize, in this regard, the Japanese are still very hidden.
Kikuta carried Muyang's suitcase and sent him all the way to the guest room on the ship, Muyang looked at this room, a standard double room, a soft bed, and a small bathroom. Such a standard is naturally not comparable with the rooms of international hotels, but it is already the standard room of this cruise ship.
"Your Excellency Kurita, if there is nothing to do, I will take my leave, and I wish you a smooth journey." Seiichiro Kikuta said after bowing.
"I want to ask, which room is Eto-kun, you also know that the journey is boring, I want to talk to him if it's okay." Muyang said.
"Your Excellency, I don't know the room number of Staff Officer Eto, and I guess he is busy now, but before he came, he said that he knew the room number of His Excellency Kurita, and he will come to visit you when the ship starts." Kikuta said.
Muyang nodded, "That's good, then we can have a drink and chat on the boat, okay, Kikuta-kun, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Your Excellency Kurita, don't be polite, it's my honor to serve the royal family, this is what I should do, then I will leave." After saying that, Kikuta bowed again and left.
In the afternoon, after a loud whistle, the cruise ship slowly left the Shanghai wharf, many people on the wharf were waving goodbye, Muyang stood on the deck at this time, and also picked up his hat and waved, he had no relatives to see him off, but he still waved his hat, as if saying goodbye to the city.
At dinner time, there was a knock on the door, Muyang opened the door, and found Jiang Tengdao standing outside the door with a smile.
"Eto-kun, please come in." Mu Yang smiled kindly.
Etojima bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency Kurita, it's really rude to come to visit now, mainly because there are many materials that need to be counted and sorted, so it has been delayed for some time." ”
"It's all busy with the affairs of the empire, and Jiang Teng-kun has worked hard."
"Don't dare to let Your Excellency Kurita compliment, by the way, it's already dinner time, Your Excellency Kurita hasn't eaten dinner yet, how about we go to the restaurant to eat something." Etojima said.
"Okay, I'm so hungry that I forgot the time just now when I read a book."
The two of them came to the restaurant, which was not very crowded and was basically a meal for high-ranking Japanese officers. As soon as he sat down, a large Zuo walked over, and Eto quickly stood up to salute.
"Eto-kun, long time no see." This Osa is about 40 years old and about 180 cm tall, which is already considered tall among Japanese. The facial features are upright, and there is also a ferocity, it seems that he is a person who has seen life and death.
"Mr. Ishida, it's been a long time, we haven't seen each other for about 10 years." Etojima said.
"Don't call me Mr. Ishida, just call me Senior Ishida, how can we say that we are also classmates." This Ishida said heartily.
"Okay, Senior Ishida, you haven't eaten yet, how about coming with us." Eto suggested.
"Okay, I just wanted to have a good chat with you." As he spoke, he sat down directly next to Eto Island.
Etoshima looked at Muyang, suddenly came to his senses, and then hurriedly said: "Senior Ishida, let me introduce to you, this is Kurita Akitsune, the Imperial Army Headquarters. ”
"Your Excellency Kurita, this is my senior at the Army School, Takeo Ishida, who previously served in the Army stationed in Malaya."
Mu Yang had been watching the two talk coldly, and now that Etojima was introducing himself to this guy named Ishida, he naturally nodded.
