116, Assassination (Second Update, Please Subscribe First)
If it weren't for Fujino Haheiji's family letter, when he met Brother Xun, he would probably have let the two masters and apprentices meet again to make up for the regrets. Google search reading
Before Brother Xun died, he was also looking for Fujino Yankuro, but unfortunately he found nothing.
There is also a photo of Mr. Fujino hanging above the bed.
"You have Mr. Fujino, and I also have Mr. Fujino. He also takes good care of me..."
Brother Xun felt a little complicated.
He probably knew that Mr. Fujino mentioned by Bai Gui might be a brother to his Mr. Fujino. It's just that he doesn't intend to admit it proactively. Although he has been taken care of by Mr. Fujino, but... he has now abandoned school, has a difficult life, and has no face. He is too embarrassed to see Fujino Yankuro again.
It is human nature to be timid when close to home!
"In some time, after the mid-term exam, I am going to go to Kyoto. If Brother Yucai doesn't mind, can you go with me?"
Bai Gui said.
He remembered the matter entrusted by Fujino Hachihei, but he was not in a hurry for a month or two. Fujino Haheiji also asked him to arrange his own affairs first and go to Fukui Prefecture to look for it when he had time.
Moreover, the midterm exam for the first grade of high school will be coming soon, so I don’t have time to spare.
"this……"
Brother Xun was hesitant and wanted to refuse, but he didn't know where to start. He just made a friend and took the initiative to invite him. If he refused, it would be too blunt.
Not to mention, Bai Gui treated him so politely.
"It's the end. If Brother Yucai is not available, forget it."
"If you have time, come together!"
Bai Gui saw the reluctance on Brother Xun's face and guessed something in his heart, so he stepped down for him.
"Well, okay."
Brother Xun nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I'll just excuse myself from going because I have something to do! Even if I kill you, I won’t go!
"This is the manuscript translated by Brother Yucai. If you don't mind, could you let me take a look at it?"
"I am the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, and I am also responsible for collecting some manuscripts..."
Bai Gui pointed to the books that Brother Xun placed on the dining table.
He knew Brother Xun's predicament at this time.
The translation "Collection of Foreign Novels" just published this year, in two volumes, is sold to the Shanghai stock market. One volume is worth three cents of a small silver dollar. For bulk sales, there is a 10% discount for ten volumes and a 20% discount for fifty volumes. However, the first volume sold twenty-one copies, and the second volume sold twenty copies.
I didn’t even make back the advertising fees!
As for why it is so clear?
In fact, after arriving in Tokyo, Bai Gui also inquired about some things about Brother Xun intentionally or unintentionally.
It's just that I have never taken the time to meet him, and there is no reason to go there.
This news was told to him by the editor-in-chief Nagano a few days ago.
Brother Xun sells his and his younger brother's translation works in an advertisement in the "China Daily". The "China Daily" is a newspaper owned by Liu Xueyu, and has a deep relationship with the Minjin Daily.
But Brother Xun is just living in embarrassment, not to the point where he can't open the pot.
He wasn't in a hurry either.
Now that I have encountered it, if I can help, please help.
"Then...thank you Miwa-nii."
Brother Xun felt a little grateful and handed over the manuscript.
After flipping through a few pages, Bai Gui took a deep breath and couldn't help but frown secretly as he looked at these manuscripts. The translations were both classical Chinese and foreign classics. They were really too cumbersome to read...
"Brother Yucai, the Democratic Progressive Newspaper still lacks an editor in charge. With your talent, you should be able to take up the position."
Bai Gui closed the manuscript and couldn't bear to look at it.
The future great writer is still a fledgling boy.
Although Brother Xun is talented, he does not have a diploma and is a dropout from Sendai Medical College. In the domestic imperial examination, he only passed the county examination, and he had no fame. So it is really difficult to apply for a suitable job.
Brother Xun: "..."
He seemed to realize something and blushed a little.
"Thank you, Brother Meihe, for your appreciation."
Brother Xun quickly took back the manuscript and thanked him at the same time.
He would not be surprised by this kind of help. It is normal for us to support and help each other as strangers in a foreign land. Bai Meihe helped him today, and at worst, he could just go back in the future. He still has this confidence.
While the two were talking, suddenly bursts of gunfire came from outside the window.
Everyone in the ballroom was immediately frightened.
They hid one after another.
"Don't be anxious! Don't be anxious, they won't break into the embassy without permission yet!"
Minister Wu's face darkened, he walked to the door and looked outside the ballroom.
It was dark at this time, under the street lights on both sides of the road.
I saw groups of Japanese soldiers passing back and forth on the road.
Gunfire could be heard from all directions.
As he said, the Japanese army would not break into the embassy without asking for instructions.
Not long after, a Japanese man dressed as a clerk and wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
"Sorry to disturb the mood of all gentlemen, we are arresting the assassin now, please bear with me..."
He said politely.
"Excuse me, what big thing happened that caused your country to mobilize so many troops?"
Minister Wu took the opportunity to ask.
Ambassador Hu is still in Shanghai, and he is fully responsible for the embassy.
"It's not convenient to inform you about this matter. Please also ask the guests of your embassy not to go out without permission, otherwise... if something happens, it will be difficult to handle."
The clerk glanced at the ballroom and said calmly.
"Thanks for letting me know."
Minister Wu frowned slightly, thinking that something big might have happened.
Outside the embassy, the gunshots went from dense to sparse.
With the clerk's assurance, everyone in the ballroom breathed a sigh of relief, relieved, and no longer hid.
But everyone did not dare to leave the embassy without permission, and at the same time they had no interest in continuing to dance and talk. They all stared at the door nervously, fearing that something big would happen again.
"I guess this is Bai Meihe?"
"He is really a good man!"
Bai Xiongqi was also startled and hid behind the bar in the ballroom. When he came out, he saw Bai Guishi, who was still fearless on the sofa, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
He had also seen the blurred photos of Bai Gui's kick in the newspaper, and he immediately made a judgment in his heart.
Who doesn't love heroes in the world?
Compared with others, Bai Gui at this moment is indeed a bit conspicuous.
However, from beginning to end, there are still more than a dozen people who are also calm and calm in the face of danger.
But Bai Xiongqi had made friends with those people before, so he came to Bai Gui.
"Where, where..."
Bai Gui bowed his hands and explained casually: "This is an embassy of a country. The Japanese will not trespass. If they do, it will be useless even if you hide! Instead of doing that, it is better to stay calm and not let them underestimate you!"
"Didn't Su Laoquan also say: Taishan collapses in front of you and your face does not change, and a deer rises on your left and your eyes do not blink, then you can know the benefits and harms and deal with the enemy."
Everyone naturally knew this truth, but... bullets have no eyes, and they still want to seek benefits and avoid harm, so most people scattered like birds and beasts and hid.
