Chapter 37 Fighting Wine (1)

Xinlong Inn is the largest restaurant in Pyongyang City.

Shi Lang did not follow Zheng Zai, and Ye Ruliu and Xie Yuan rushed to Xinlong Inn. According to the daytime division of labor, Shi Lang left the city alone from the Qixingmen, the west gate of Pyongyang City and rushed to Jinguang Temple.

After seeing Luo Shiyin, Shi Lang briefly reported on the progress of the investigation in the city and agreed with Luo Shiyin that once the reconnaissance mission is completed, the people entering the city will leave the city from Qixingmen; Luo Shiyin will lead other teams to respond outside Qixingmen.

Before dark, Shi Lang returned to Zheng Zai's home in Pyongyang City.

The reason why Seven Star Gate was chosen as the location for leaving the city is because this place is closest to the mountain. People entering the city can quickly hide into the mountains after leaving the city.

Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu and Xie Yuan rushed to Fengyue Pavilion first and met with Liu Yingying before rushing to Xinlong Inn together.

Ye Ruliu and Liu Yingying fell in love with each other as soon as they saw each other, and they called each other sisters.

"Yingying, in this operation, my sister is the wife of Brother Zheng Zai, who plays the role of Brother Zheng. She wants to pretend that she is a mute. You have to remember this and don't let it go." Xie Yuan reminded Liu Yingying.

"Don't worry, remember. I will cooperate well with Sister Ru Liu at that time." Liu Yingying said readily.

"Brother, don't be like this mother-in-law. Just because of Liu Yingying's cleverness, there will be no problem." Ye Ruliu said.

"Why am I a little nervous?" Zheng Zai, who was traveling with him, felt a little upset when he attended such an occasion for the first time.

"Brother Zheng, what are you afraid of? We are there! If you regard these Japanese people as a group of fools, you won't be nervous." Xie Yuan comforted Zheng Zai.

"A group of fools, a group of fools; a group of fools, a group of fools!" Zheng took a deep breath and muttered something.

"How do you feel?" Xie Yuan asked after Zheng Zai finished muttering.

"Oh, don't say it. This method really works. It feels much better!" Zheng Zai said happily.

As the four people were chatting and laughing, they had already seen the tall roof of Xinlong Inn in front of them.

When Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan and Liu Yingying arrived in front of Xinlong Inn, the inside and outside of the inn were already bustling.

The invited dignitaries and industrial and commercial representatives in Pyongyang City have arrived one after another. Except for a few of them who are tempted by the Japanese, most of them have to attend the so-called founding meeting of the Pyongyang Federation of Industry and Commerce.

Liu Yingying's arrival was entirely due to Xie Yuandi's invitation. She also received invitations from President Xiaoxi and Xie Yuandi. If President Xiaoxi only invited her, Liu Yingying would not have come. However, when Xie Yuan invited her, she happily agreed.

Liu Yingying knew that Xie Yuan’s mission was about to be completed, and she cherished every opportunity to meet Xie Yuan very much.

The two large pillars in front of the gate of Xinlong Inn are hung with huge red lanterns. On the outside of the lantern are two rows of blue Japanese military flags with striped patterns. The night wind blows, and the flags are waving in front of the gate of the inn, adding a little majesty to this lively conference.

"Welcome to President Zheng!" President Xiaoxi had already led a group of senior Japanese generals to wait at the door of Xinlong Inn.

Jing Zhe Xuansu followed closely behind President Xiaoxi and was responsible for the translation.

"The general is so honored to welcome him in person!" Zheng Zai hurried forward to return the gift.

"President Zheng, you are welcome. This grand event tonight is specially held for you. You are the most precious guest of the evening!" President Xiaoxi seemed to be in a good mood. He held Zheng Zai's hand and said loudly.

"If this is the case, Zheng is really flattered!" Zheng Zai said with a greeting.

"Yingying, I'm very happy that you can accept my invitation and come to the banquet!" President Xiaoxi thought that Liu Yingying came after accepting her invitation. He held Liu Yingying's hand and was filled with joy.

Liu Yingying said nothing and forced a smile.

"Everyone applauds and welcomes you!" President of the "Koga Congxin Association" standing behind President Konishi, shouting loudly.

A burst of warm applause rang out.

"Everyone, please come inside!" President Xiaoxi called everyone to walk inside.

"Mrs. Zheng is so glorious today!" President Xiaoxi joked about Zheng Zai while walking.

In order not to make herself too eye-catching, Ye Ruliu just dressed up before leaving, but she still looked particularly eye-catching.

"Who is that beautiful woman next to Zheng Zai?"

"I don't know. Hi, don't care about him. Nowadays, it's good to be able to live well. Why do you care about so much other things? It's just right to eat more food later."

Among the people invited to attend the conference were Zheng Zai’s acquaintances. They looked at Ye Ruliu and whispered.

"The general is too rewarded." Zheng Zai said quickly when he heard the words of President Xiaoxi, translated by Jing Zhe Xuansu, praised Ye Ruliu.

Ye Ruliu politely looked up and smiled at President Xiaoxi.

Just as Ye Ruliu raised her head, she found that among the group of Japanese in the hall, a pair of vicious eyes were staring at her. This hostile look was not from others, but from the first killer of the "Koga Tongxinhui" "Butterfly" Izumo Kumi!

After smiling at President Xiaoxi, Ye Ruliu calmed herself down quickly. At this time, there was no sign of panic on her face.

Ye Ruliu made a very correct judgment on the current dangerous situation in a very short time: Kumi Izumo dared not attack immediately. Because today's occasion was carefully planned and organized by President Konishi, with the theme of Japan-DPRK cooperation. Kumi Izumo was just a small Japanese ninja. Without being sure, she did not dare to take the risk of distorting President Konishi's celebration meeting and took action rashly. Thinking of this, Ye Ruliu did not look at Kumi Izumo directly. She calmly held Zheng Zaidi's arm and walked into the hall.

As Ye Ruliu judged, Kumi Izumo recognized Ye Ruliu at a glance. When she heard President Xiaoxi call Ye Ruliu Madam Zheng, she was a little unsure. She was not sure of the beautiful woman in traditional Korean costumes in front of her was Ye Ruliu.

Kumi Izumo knew in her heart that tonight's event was carefully planned by Commander-in-Chief Konishi to promote friendship between Japan and North Korea. In this case, if she attacked rashly, she would likely disrupt the celebration if she recognized the wrong person.

After thinking about it over and over again, Izumo decided to hold on and then act according to the opportunity.

In Kumi Izumo's opinion, if the woman in front of her was really Ye Ruliu, she would definitely not act alone. There must be other members of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei in the city. Only by secretly staring at Ye Ruliu can they be caught in one fell swoop.

The celebration was smoothly carried out in a peaceful atmosphere. First, President Xiaoxi delivered a congratulations to the establishment of the Pyongyang Federation of Industry and Commerce on behalf of all the Japanese troops stationed in Pyongyang. Next, Zheng Zai's speech as the first president.

Zheng is not good at talking big on such occasions. He just read the manuscript prepared by Shi Lang and Xie Yuan last night.

After Zheng Zai finished reading, there were some boos mixed in the applause from the audience.

Zheng Zai's face had an awkward expression, and he walked off the stage in a little embarrassed manner.

"Congratulations, President Zheng!" President Xiaoxi shook hands with Zheng Zai to express his congratulations.

"Okay! Very well said! I didn't expect President Zheng to have such a good eloquence." After Zheng finished speaking, President Xiaoxi walked up to express his congratulations.

"The general is too rewarded!" Zheng wiped the sweat beads on his face and held Xiao Xichang's hands that were stretching out.

"I hope President Zheng will be able to worry more about promoting economic exchanges between the two countries in the future."

"It must be certain."

"Okay, okay, let's have a drink for the close cooperation in the future!"

After President Xiaoxi finished speaking, the waiter next to him brought a tray with two glasses of Japanese sake on it.

Leader Xiaoxi picked up a cup first, then signaled to pick up another cup. The two looked at each other and smiled, clinked and drank all the glasses.

Next, President Xiaoxi led Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu and Xie Yuan into a room behind.

"God General, look at the signing of the contract between us..." Zheng did not forget about the signing of the contract anymore. As soon as he entered the room, he was about to mention the matter.

"President Zheng seems to be an impatient person. You don't have to worry about this matter. Next is our signing ceremony. However, there are more than ten Pyongyang merchants who signed up for this time. The processing volume of cotton coats is relatively large this time. If only Mr. Zheng and his family bear it, it would be difficult to complete the construction on schedule before winter comes. I think it is Mr. Zheng who will take the lead and join hands with these dozen companies to complete it together. We will discuss the specific amount of each company's burden later. I wonder what you think?" said President Xiaoxi.

"This..., otherwise, I will sign a processing agreement with Your Excellency General on behalf of more than a dozen of our participants, and then I will organize them to complete the specific division of labor. I will talk to them about the specific division of labor, so as to avoid any trouble. Do you think it's okay?"

President Xiaoxi thought for a while, agreed readily, and said, "Look, I forgot that Mr. Zheng is now the president of the Pyongyang Federation of Industry and Commerce and should exercise the president's rights. Haha!"

"Your Excellency General is such a cheerful person!" Xie Yuan, who was standing aside, said.

"Young man, this is because I am so happy today!" President Xiaoxi said, patting Xie Yuan with his hands affectionately. At the same time, he looked at Liu Yingying beside Xie Yuan with a loving look.

"May I ask, do each soldier make a set of cotton coats or multiple sets? If it is multiple sets, we will prepare a few more sets of styles." Xie Yuan asked.

"No need to set more, each person has one set, just solve the urgent problem. I don't think it will take long to get the subsequent supplies from our Japan." Governor Xiaoxi said without thinking.

Next was the signing ceremony between the two parties. When Zheng Zai signed, Xie Yuan, who was standing behind Zheng Zai, clearly saw a line of words on the agreement: "A total of 18,600 sets of cotton coats are needed..." He was delighted. It seemed that there were less than 20,000 Japanese troops in Pyongyang City.

At this point, all the rituals are completed.

Everyone present took the seat and drank and said happily.

The president of Xiaoxi, Jingzhe, Sugitani Izumi, Izumo, Zheng Zai, Ye Ruliu, Xie Yuan, and Liu Yingying sat on the chairman of the second floor of the private room. Jingzhe, Xuansu was responsible for the translation.

The position where Izumo Kumi was sitting was exactly opposite Ye Ruliu. Looking at him at such a close distance, Izumo Kumi strengthened her judgment: this person is Ye Ruliu, a member of the Ming Dynasty team. A vicious thought arose in her heart: Today we must find an opportunity to let the Ming Dynasty woman in front of us show her true form!

Ye Ruliu had already understood her evil heart from Izumo Kumi's eyes. It seemed that this woman was about to attack her.

Sure enough, after several people who were more important than him on the scene finished drinking, Izumo Kumi took the opportunity and began to make a move to Ye Ruliu.

"Mrs. Zheng's clothes are so beautiful. I wonder if I can introduce what style to Kumi?" Izumo Kumi confirmed that a leader of the Salt Gang who has been in the world since childhood and has not received any formal education will definitely not be proficient in Korean language. As soon as Ye Ruliu spoke, her fake identity will be revealed.

"I'm sorry, my wife is a mute." Zheng Zai didn't know the true identity of Izumo Kumi. He just saw from his clothes that this was a Japanese woman. Seeing Izumo Kumi ask Ye Ruliu, he quickly said.

"It's a pity that such a beautiful woman can't speak!" Izumo Kura's face was full of sarcastic spirit.

Although Ye Ruliu could not understand what Yun Jiumi had just said, she judged from the sinister look of the Japanese woman opposite that this woman had already begun to attack her. She looked at Izumo Kumi calmly and waited for the other party to continue to make moves.

"I'll give Mrs. Zheng a glass?" Kumi Izumo said, picking up the wine glass and looking at Ye Ruliu with a provocative look.

Ye Ruliu slowly picked up the wine glass, and a hint of contempt appeared in her eyes.

The two women were tacit in each other and drank the wine in the glass at the same time.

"Oh, I didn't expect Mrs. Zheng to drink so well! How about you and I have another three drinks?" Izumo Kumi failed to make a plan and came up with a new trick. She wanted to get Ye Ruliu drunk and let Ye Ruliu reveal her prototype.

Ye Ruliu of course saw Izumo Kumi's wishful thinking, and she decided to use the trick and teach the Japanese woman in front of her a lesson.
