"Mr. Hashimoto, I've heard of the name for a long time, but I didn't expect that in addition to the president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, you are also a martial artist. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Huo Tingen, as the owner of Jingwumen, naturally couldn't be stage frightened, so after seeing Hashimoto Koichi, he also strode forward, shook hands with Hashimoto, and stepped into it together.

Unlike the Chinese's banquet on the table, the preparation of the Japanese today was actually in the martial arts arena that Qin Jihuan had visited with Huo Yuanjia before, and I saw that the huge hall, except for a weapon rack at the door, was empty.

"What do you mean, Mr. Hashimoto?"

Seeing that he was brought here by Hiroshi Hashimoto, Huo Tingen's face couldn't help but look a little unpleasant, he didn't expect that the Japanese didn't even want to do the work on the surface, so they almost did it directly.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, I can invite the Huo Pavilion Master today, so naturally I want to invite you to taste our Japanese characteristics."

With a wave of his hand, several waiters silently brought a few cases and seat cushions, and placed them next to the weapon rack in this martial arts arena.

"Please take your seats!"

Huo Tingen and the three fried ghosts glanced at each other, and they all understood in their hearts, sure enough, there was no good banquet, they couldn't say, they still had to do it, but the four of them didn't worry too much, with the ability of the three fried ghosts, as long as it was not the Baodan realm, they were not afraid of anyone.

"Hehe, I have admired the prestige of Huo Daxia of Jingwumen for a long time, it's a pity that I haven't seen it, I can invite Huo Gongzi today, it's also fate, please!"

It is said that he will not hit the smiling face with his hand, seeing that Hashimoto Koichi is so enthusiastic, no matter what tricks he has behind him, Huo Tingen can't attack, so he can only raise his wine glass and drink with him.

"Good amount of alcohol! Come on, come on! Please try the characteristics of our Great Japanese Empire! ”

Saying that, the Japanese dishes were brought out by several Japanese women in kimonos and placed in front of the four of them, but for these half-cooked Japanese dishes, Huo Tingen and the others really didn't have much appetite, so Huo Tingen said directly,

"Mr. Hashimoto, we don't talk darkly, the purpose of our few of us coming here today, you also know, if there is anything, please say it clearly, I will be the next Jingwumen."

"Eh, eat first, and then talk about what you have to say."

"Mr. Hashimoto, all the lobbyists are as they please, but these half-baked things, you Japanese like, we Chinese are not used to eating, now that the wine is also drunk, if you have anything to say, you may as well say it directly."

Seeing Huo Tingen so faceless, Hashimoto Koichi's face finally couldn't hold it, put away the smile he had been smiling, and said with a straight face,

"Since a few people are not used to eating the food of my Great Japanese Empire, then I am not reluctant, today you can come to my Hongkou Dojo as guests, you should not dance with knives and guns, but everyone is a person who practices martial arts, informal, and I won't care if I want to come, it just so happened that a few friends just came to Shanghai from Japan the day before yesterday, and they are all famous names of Jingwumen for a long time, why don't you take this opportunity to ask you for a lesson or two?"

Before Huo Tingen agreed, he saw a Japanese suddenly enter the scene, trotted all the way to Hashimoto Hiroshi, bent down and whispered a few words, and Hashimoto Hongyi's expression was also wonderful, shocked for a while, frowning for a while, until he gave a few words to his subordinates, and then asked Huo Tingen with a surprised face,

"I can't see that the Jingwu Sect of the Huo Pavilion Master has such a wide range of friends, I really can't imagine it."

And Huo Tingen and the other four all looked at each other when they heard this, they didn't know what Hashimoto Koichi meant, Qin Jihuan's plan, but they didn't tell them, but soon, with a sound of footsteps, they also heard a long laugh,

"Haha I have long heard that Hongkou Dojo and Jingwumen are the two most powerful martial arts halls in Shanghai, and today the two families are together, how can such an important thing not be watched? Mr. Hashimoto, please forgive me for coming uninvited. ”

Huo Tingen waited until he saw that it was four foreigners who entered together, and Huo Tingen was no stranger to these four people, it was his father Huo Yuanjia and Japan's Fujita Tsuyoshi who were consuls on the rostrum during the war, but I didn't expect these four to arrive together!

Huo Tingen didn't believe the reason that the German consul just said at all, you must know that Westerners have no interest in martial arts at all, let alone take the initiative to watch the battle, thinking of the statement of the consul of the four countries before, Huo Tingen suddenly realized, could it be that they are on their side?

"Hehe, what did Mr. Franz say, since a few people are interested, sit down, come on!"

After instructing his subordinates to put a few cases on the table again and inviting the consuls of the four countries to the table, Hashimoto Koichi no longer paid attention to these four uninvited and self-poured drinks, but said to Huo Tingen, who was also slightly confused, with a bad face,

"Humph! Huo Pavilion Master, I suggested before, I don't know what Huo Pavilion thinks? ”

"Oh? I don't know what to suggest? ”

Franz again, hearing Hashimoto's words, couldn't help but drink wine, and asked seemingly casually.

"We have three friends from Hongkou Dojo who have just graduated from school, and they have come to Shanghai for the first time, and they want to ask all of you from Jingwumen, I wonder what Mr. Franz thinks?"

Seeing that he couldn't bypass the consuls of these four countries, Hashimoto Koichi couldn't help but go the opposite way and threw the problem directly to Franz.

"So that's the case, we're just curious, how to decide, it's all the Huo Pavilion Master who has the final say, right?"

"That's right, Pavilion Master Huo, you can accept it if you want to, and no one will force you if you don't want to."

As soon as Franz finished speaking, the American consul on one side followed suit, and although the British and French consuls did not speak, they knew by their expressions that they also meant the same thing.

The simple statement of the consul of the four countries made Huo Tingen's heart reassured, and it also made Hashimoto Koichi's face even more ugly.

"Thank you for speaking up."

Huo Tingen hugged his fist to the consuls of the four countries from afar, and said gratefully, no matter what the reason is, at least they are now on the side of the Jingwu Sect, and that is enough.

"Hehe, don't misunderstand, my three friends have always admired the name of the Jingwu Sect, and they want to ask for advice, I think, Pavilion Master Huo won't refuse, right?"

With the consuls of the four countries pressing the formation, Huo Tingen, who was no longer nervous in his heart, smiled faintly,

"Mr. Hashimoto is too modest, who doesn't know that our Jingwumen has always loved peace, since this is a banquet, then don't fight and kill, and wait for the opportunity in the future, and then talk about the matter, how about it?"

Originally, if there were only a few of them, in the face of the aggressiveness of the Japanese, there would naturally be no way to refuse, but now that they have to rely on, Huo Tingen doesn't want to use force, after all, the sword has no eyes, since it can not be used, it is better not to do it.

When Hiroshi Hashimoto saw Huo Tingen refuse, his eyes moved, and he couldn't help but smile and said,

"Since that's the case, then forget it, but my three friends came from afar and prepared a gift for the Jingwu Sect, don't they even want to see each other?"

Saying that, Hashimoto Koichi didn't give Huo Tingen another chance to refuse, but shouted directly,

"Three! Not yet there! ”

Before Hirokazu Hashimoto could finish speaking, Mizuka, Tsuchihara and Hoshiro entered the scene together.

"Haha, is this the Huo Pavilion Master? Sure enough, it is a talent, in the lower Shura Gate Shuihe Nan, who has long admired the prestige of the Jingwu Sect, and wants to take this opportunity to give you a gift and bring it up! ”

The arrogant Mizukawa Nan didn't pay attention to the consul of the four countries on the side at all, but directly gave an order and ordered his subordinates to bring up the gifts.

The four Huo Tingen and the consuls of the four countries couldn't help but be attracted to look at this rather large thing, carried by two Japanese soldiers, and covered with red cloth.

"Hahaha! Come on, come on! Pavilion Master Huo, this is my gift to you Jingwumen, take it! ”

The things that could only be carried by two ordinary soldiers seemed to have no weight in the hands of Mizukawa Nan, and they were taken at random and thrown at Huo Tingen.

"Be careful! I got it! ”

The tailor beside Huo Tingen shouted, got up instantly, stepped forward, stretched out one hand, and took the heavy gift steadily.

As soon as the thing was started, the tailor's arm sank slightly, and it was really not light, the tailor held it with one hand, and ripped off the red cloth with one hand, it turned out that the so-called gift was actually a plaque.

"Bang!"

The tailor put the plaque on the ground before looking at the inscription.

"The sick man of East Asia!" (To be continued.) )
