There are five major palaces in Seoul, and the current residence of Emperor Yi Xi is Gyeongun Palace.

Around Qingyun Palace, there are embassies everywhere.

Its scale cannot be compared with the majestic Forbidden City.

This will save Zhao Chuanxin a lot of effort.

Jin Wuzhi took Zhao Chuanxin through the Dahan Gate and said, "Xiao Han Yunhan, the Dahan Gate is named after this." However, there is an allusion among the people, saying that the Japanese spy Pei Zhenzi often wears a foreign dress and a hat to enter and exit this gate, so it is called Dahan Gate, but that is nonsense, but it is just a folk conjecture......"

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the low palace gate and city wall, which was much easier to turn than the Forbidden City.

Because there were soldiers guarding the door, they couldn't get in.

Therefore, Jin Wuzhi took Zhao Chuanxin to pass by the Dahan Gate and walked south.

While walking, he introduced the layout of Qingyun Palace to Zhao Chuanxin.

"There are three important buildings in it.

One is the stone hall in the northwest corner, which is a Western stone building, which is the emperor's office and contains many files.

Second, it is the Xianning Palace, which is the emperor's bedroom, in the northeast corner.

Third, it is Jingguanxuan, which is a leisure and entertainment place for the emperor to drink coffee, and sometimes holds banquets here, most in the north......"

Because of the low wall, Zhao Chuanxin could even see the slightly taller buildings inside, and with Jin Wuzhi's explanation, he could easily figure out the layout.

Immediately, he smiled in his chest.

The Forbidden City can make him get lost, but it is easy to get to know the small Qingyun Palace.

And Jin Wuzhi only knew that Zhao Chuanxin was here to do something, and he didn't know anything about what he was doing and how to do it.

He also thought that Zhao Chuanxin was just trying to visit the scenery of Seoul before doing business.

If he knew that Zhao Chuanxin was actually here to step on the point, I don't know how he would feel.

After going around, Zhao Chuanxin said, "It's almost, let's find a hotel to stay." ”

The largest Western-style hotel in Seoul is the Seoul Grand Hotel.

Not far from the palace and embassy district, Zhao Chuanxin and Jin Wuzhi lived here.

Although it is a Western-style hotel, the layout of the room has a lot of oriental elements, such as a painting of a Bodhisattva hanging on the wall.

After hundreds of kilometers of travel, Zhao Chuanxin was really tired, went to the hotel and locked the door, and then blocked the door with a table and fell asleep.

……

Saito Jijiro and Shinoda Jisaku have arrived in Seoul.

When you come to Seoul in spring, you have to look at the flowers on Namsan Mountain.

The tear mole in the corner of Naoko Yuka's eyes goes well with the cherry blossoms on the side of the road.

Naoko Yuka's plaid striped shirt and knee-high skirt are more beautiful than Jindalai on the slope.

Naoko Yuka's clean smile made Shinoda forget about the spring flowers that were waving in the wind.

But Shinoda didn't want to be intoxicated and appear too straightforward, so he used the topic to change the atmosphere: "Yuka, are you tired?" I see your face is a little pale, why don't you go back to the Seoul Hotel to rest? The evening banquet was held there. ”

Nanshan is not high, more than 200 meters only, the terrain is gentle, and it is not tiring to climb up.

But circling and liking are two different things, liking makes people happy and forgets tiredness, but circling is boring.

Naoko Yuka nodded: "Okay, Shinoda-kun, let's go back and rest for a while, and after the banquet, if we have time, come back and enjoy the view." ”

Shinoda Jice suffers from gains and losses in his heart, and wants to linger with his sweetheart for a while, but he is worried that Naoko Yuka will be disgusted, so he nods and can only go back with her.

On the way, Shinoda pointed to the eaves of the palace and said proudly: "Here, in the future, will belong to our Great Japanese Empire." ”

If you want to talk about this, Naoko Yuka is not sleepy.

Her face swept away tiredly: "Shinoda-kun, what do you say?" ”

Shinoda said proudly: "The last time I chatted with Ito, he revealed that he had several important things to do this year. First, if the Japan-ROK treaty is signed again this year, we will have to control the legislative power of the ROK. Li Xi is an obstacle, and we have to find a way to make him abdicate and let the more controllable Li Kun take the position. At the same time, it is necessary to disband the South Korean army, otherwise they will cause us some trouble to a greater or lesser extent. ”

Usually Shinoda Zhice chats with Naoko Yuka, if you just talk about love, Naoko Yuka gives feedback, but not much.

But Shinoda Zhice talks about current affairs, and Naoko Yuka will praise it again and again.

This unwittingly encouraged Shinoda to talk more about current affairs.

Naoko Yuka's face was full of adoration: "Shinoda-kun, you are amazing. Commander Ito, he doesn't even hide such a big thing from you, and I think he has great trust in you. ”

This is the reason why Shinoda Jikei prefers Yuka Naoko.

Japanese women are mostly housewives, well-behaved, and pitiful husbands and children all day long.

Romance and love, or firewood, rice, oil and salt after marriage, then they are good.

But Naoko Yuka can understand Shinoda Jisei in her career, and she is also very stylish in life.

Give him encouragement from time to time.

Hearing the praise, Shinoda Jice was very happy, but immediately thought of something, and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity that the damn Zhao Chuanxin has ruined my rhythm of action." This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to give Ito a perfect answer. ”

"Don't be discouraged, Shinoda Jun, Zhao Chuanxin is just a martial artist, nothing remarkable. We, the Japanese Empire, are the trend of the times, and a mere Zhao Chuanxin is just a mantis arm as a car. ”

Shinoda Zhice listened, and really lifted his spirits: "Yuka, you're right, these are small sections, and they have nothing to do with the overall situation. ”

……

In the morning, Jin Wuzhi waited left and right, and he didn't wait for Zhao Chuanxin to get up, so he couldn't help but knock on the door.

Zhao Chuanxin moved all the chairs and tables and unlocked the door.

The door creaked open.

He was wiping his wet hair with a towel and looked at Jin Wuzhi: "What are you doing?" ”

"Mr. Zhao, are you okay during the day?"

Jin Wuzhi thought that Zhao Chuanxin was going to do things during the day.

Zhao Chuanxin threw the already wet towel on the table: "It's all the moon and the dark wind that kills people and sets fires, who do you see in broad daylight?" ”

I'm Cao ...... What does it mean?

Why did they kill people and set fires?

Jin Wuzhi was full of worries about his personal safety during this trip.

"Ha, Mr. Zhao, don't be joking."

"No kidding, you can go back and rest, and recharge your batteries. It's okay to go out as little as possible, and don't splash blood on your body. ”

The more you talk about it, the more crazy it gets.

Jin Wuzhi smiled bitterly: "I've rested enough, there's no need to recuperate." ”

"Believe me, it's necessary. Go and order a meal for me to have it delivered to my room, and then we'll have a good meal in the restaurant of the hotel in the evening, and then it's time to act. ”

Jin Wuzhi saw that Zhao Chuanxin was really not joking, and his heart became more and more uncertain: "Mr. Zhao, what are we going to do?" ”

"The first task is to exchange paintings, the second is to study the military, and if possible, to visit some royal treasures and something."

Jin Wuzhi's head couldn't turn.

It all sounds normal.

With a little relief, he exited Zhao Chuanxin's room.

When he went to the front desk, he saw a lewd Japanese man and a very beautiful woman.

The woman wore a plaid shirt and an over-the-knee skirt with a pair of suede boots underneath a well-flattering sock and a pair of suede boots underneath.

The woman holds the arm of the Japanese, but it is not particularly intimate.

Jin Wuzhi is still a bachelor, and when he saw that the woman was very beautiful and moving, he couldn't help but feel sad, and took a sip: "The good cabbage has made the pig arch." ”

When he ordered food and went upstairs, he saw that the couple of men and women also followed, and they stayed in the room not far from him and Zhao Chuanxin.

I was surprised to find that this pair of dog men and women actually lived in separate rooms.

So he shook his head and went back to his room.

And Zhao Chuanxin took out the night pot of the old god and fiddled with it in the room.

Night pot night pot, it sounds dirty.

But in fact, the surface of the Old God's night pot is smooth and delicate, with no stains at all, and there is not the slightest strange taste.

Zhao Chuanxin held the old god night pot in front of him, and his face was full of doubts: since it is called the night pot, what is its function that can be related to the night pot?

He tried to tilt to the left, to the right, or to lay the night pot horizontally and then shake it from side to side.

There was no response.

So he took it in his hand and paced around the room.

When holding the Old God Night Pot, his body can't shake, and his wrist needs to be steady.

Gradually, he began to get used to this rhythm of walking.

Faintly, Zhao Chuanxin felt that this thing actually had the effect of exercising the stability of his next game.

A man is a teenager until he dies.

Zhao Chuanxin seems to have regarded the night pot of the old gods as a toy.

At this time, the food delivery attendant came.

Zhao Chuanxin put away the old god's night pot, went to wash his hands, finished eating, stayed bored for a while, and fell asleep on the bed again.

The sun is setting in the west, and the street lights are on.

Zhao Chuanxin woke up and got up to wash his face and brush his teeth for the second time that day.

Look at the watch, it's still early.

He leaned on the windowsill and looked out, and saw that the street lamps occasionally flickered because of the quality problems, and the people gradually became scarce, and the tired birds returned to their nests.

Downstairs in the Grand Hotel, horse-drawn carriages and rickshaws began to stop.

The well-dressed man and the flamboyant female companion got out of the car with their arms and walked into the hotel.

At a top-notch hotel like Seoul Hotel, there is no shortage of guests at night.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't take it seriously.

The clouds in the sky are swaying, and the evening breeze is cool.

Below, the number of people entering the hotel has also increased.

Time didn't know where it came and where it ended, and when Zhao Chuanxin felt that the time was almost up, Jin Wuzhi also came to knock on the door.

"Mr. Zhao, are you awake?"

Zhao Chuanxin changed into a local specialty of Lugang Town - a dark gray wool suit with wide lapels.

Why is it a specialty of Lugang Town?

Because the suit at this time is more elegant and luxurious, the suit should be long and usually have a swallowtail.

However, the suit design of Lugang Town's specialty abandons elegance and luxury, and chooses a simple and light style. The suit is cut shorter, visually lengthening the leg line, compressing the waist and highlighting the shoulders.

In this way, when the weather is cold, it is very stylish to wear with a woolen coat.

Of course, this was a change made under the influence of Zhao Chuanxin.

The suit then entered the market through Chen Daguang's ready-to-wear shop, where it became a huge hit.

Zhao Chuanxin opened the door, and Jin Wuzhi's eyes were almost blinded by Zhao Chuanxin's outfit.

Zhao Chuanxin used to wear civilian clothes.

Seeing that he was stunned, Zhao Chuanxin said happily: "Isn't it, I've never seen such a handsome man?" ”

People in this era are restrained in their words and deeds.

There are few thick-skinned people like Zhao Chuanxin.

Jin Wuzhi didn't know what to say, so he had to laugh awkwardly.

At the same time, inside the No. 1 restaurant of the Seoul Grand Hotel.

Saito Jijiro and Shinoda Jikei came to Ito's side.

They didn't think that Hirobumi Ito would give them a good face, but unexpectedly, the commander showed them a smile like a spring breeze.

Before they could speak, Ito said, "I heard about your work and got into trouble?" ”

As a subordinate, Shinoda has the responsibility to take the cylinder for his superiors when necessary.

He stood up and bowed, "I'm sorry, Ito, I made a mistake and caused Saito-kun's plan to go wrong. ”

Saito Kijiro was moved in his heart.

This is the reconciliation.

Ito Hirobumi smiled and nodded: "Young man, it's good to experience some setbacks. However, I am very dissatisfied with the way you have dealt with it. ”

The two of them were nervous, did they really want to be punished?

Can't always let Shinoda Jikei take the blame, Saito Kijiro bowed forward: "Please also ask Ito to make it clear." ”

Ito Hirobumi put his hands behind his back: "You are here this time to send a note to the Qing court, announcing that the backwater army is a thief, so as to find an excuse to station troops on Majima, right?" ”

I have to say that as the chief supervisor of the Korean Unified Supervision Office, Ito Hirobumi still has two brushes.

In a word, it is a breakthrough.

The two were taken aback, but they didn't expect that Ito had already seen through their tricks.

It's also a kind of beating.

Each superior beats his subordinates in a different way, and he directly gets angry and reprimands, which is the lowest level.

"Ito is wise, and that's exactly what the lower officials think."

Saito Kijiro honestly admitted.

Ito straightened his back and said, "Since the Korean reclamation farmers in the Majima region have misunderstood that we are killing their people, why don't you take advantage of their fears?" Sometimes, fear is also a weapon. ”

Shinoda Jisaku and Saito Kijiro looked at each other, not understanding what they meant.

Shinoda asked, "Inspector Ito, do you mean that we will do the calculations?" ”

"No!" Ito Hirofumi's face showed a hint of ruthlessness: "I will send a note to the Qing court, and after you go back, you will boldly garrison troops." But there is resistance, whether it is the people of the Qing Dynasty or the Korean reclamation farmers, there is no forgiveness for killing! Since they think we are cruel, then we will show them cruelty. These Koreans are cheap bones, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and they will become obedient like sheep in the future. ”

The two of them shuddered as they listened.

"This ...... It's not right. Shinoda Jike's first reaction was to object: "If you kill the people at will, it will provoke them to resist fiercely." ”

Hirobumi Ito sneered and said, "You can't grasp the trend of public opinion in the Majima area, so can't we control the newspapers in South Korea?" Push the blame for killing the people to the backwater army, and then step on the backwater army, and then there is no proof of death. In addition, because of the few things we are about to do in South Korea, even if we don't kill people, they will still resist. That's better than being ruthless. ”

On the contrary, Saito Kijiro recognized this strategy very much in his heart.

After all, he was born in the military, and there is a brutality factor in his blood.

He immediately said, "Ito, I know what to do." ”

Hirofumi Ito said to Shinoda Jike: "I heard that you are collecting evidence from Majima Island everywhere and want to prove that it is owned by Korea. It just so happened that Lee Wanyong knew about our deployment on Majima, so he took the initiative to get a few maps of the Joseon Dynasty from the Imperial Palace, maybe you can use them. ”

Hearing that Li Wanyong was using this person, Shinoda Jice laughed happily.

"Commander Ito, this person is really a good friend of my Great Japanese Empire."

The Han traitor Li has reached the point where the world knows about it.

Not far away, Naoko Yuka, who was holding a wine glass, frowned.

She had previously given Zhao Chuanxin a piece of information, saying that the "Dadongyu Map" was in the study of the stone hall of Qingyun Palace.

Listening to Ito Hirofumi, he was taken out some maps by Li Wanyong, and Naoko Youxiang's teeth itched: Korean traitor, national thief, bad for me!

In case there is a "Dadongyu Map" in the map taken out by Li Wanyong, Zhao Chuanxin is likely to run empty.

But she was helpless, because she didn't know when Zhao Chuanxin would come, and she couldn't pass on the news now.

When Shinoda Jikei and Ito Hirobumi finished talking, they came to Naoko Yuka impatiently.

I saw that Shinoda Jice looked like he wanted to get closer, but he was worried that he would be angry.

Naoko Yuka smiled sweetly, took the initiative to reach out, and held Shinoda's hand.

The sweetness should still be given.

The muscles of Shinoda Jike's palm trembled, feeling warm and soft, and suddenly said, "Yuka, earlier, I called home and told her that I would divorce her when I returned to Japan. ”

Naoko Yuka was surprised, knowing that the "she" that Shinoda Jisaku was talking about was his wife.

Naoko Yuka never mentioned that he wanted Shinoda Jisaku to divorce his wife.

After all, the two have only held hands for the first time today, and there has been no substantial development before, so he is going to divorce his wife?

Naoko Yuka was not only not moved, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

This kind of man, it can be said that he is carried away by love, or it can be said that he is cold-blooded and ruthless.

Abandoning his wife and children, will he be a good man? Apparently not.

Naoko Yuka sneered in her heart, remembering the method that Zhao Chuanxin had taught her to make a man collapse.

It seems that the net is almost closed!

However, there was a look of emotion on her face: "Shinoda-kun, you have paid too much, I, I, I don't know what to say......"

Seeing this, Shinoda Jikei forgot his guilt for his wife and children, and said firmly: "I just want you to live a happy ......"

……

The night pot of the old god was in Zhao Chuanxin's hand, unconsciously upside down.

He and Kim walked to the restaurant.

As soon as the two of them wanted to enter the restaurant, they saw a waiter stop at the door and said, "Sorry, two gentlemen, Hall 1 has been chartered today, please move to Hall 2 for dinner." ”

Jin Wuzhi muttered dissatisfiedly: "Have a meal, and go around in circles?" ”

Zhao Chuanxin smiled and said in English: "I'm the guest who was invited, won't I be allowed in?" ”

The waiter was stunned for a moment when he heard his American accent in English.

Koreans have licked the east and the west over the years, and they have licked a lot, and they don't know who to worship.

Russia, Qing Dynasty, United States, Japan.

When licking the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Datou still had a leg with the glamorous Empress Mingcheng, who was the original Concubine Min.

It can be seen how sparing no effort has been spared in this licking.

Later, South Korea wanted to be pro-American, and the Japanese were furious and killed Concubine Min.

For this reason, Yuan Datou also hated the Japanese.

Now that he heard Zhao Chuanxin's American English, the waiter was stunned, looked carefully, and determined that Zhao Chuanxin's face was an Oriental face.

Therefore, he still stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please take out the invitation card and show it to me." ”

Zhao Chuanxin had a fart invitation, he raised his hand, and nodded three points to the waiter with a smile.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to persuade him with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, suddenly the night pot of the old god in his hand emitted a very strong smell.

The waiter who bore the brunt of the attack bent over: "Vomit ......"
