Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2524: Inoue Devil’s Gratitude!

Inoue was completely fooled by Duanwu and put away Tang Bohu's painting of beauty and waited for Xiongshan to arrive.

As a major general, Xiong Shan was naturally late.

It wasn't until almost noon that it arrived.

Duanwu and Jing went downstairs to greet them. Xiongshan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, the people in the military were too enthusiastic and wouldn't let me go. They insisted on treating me to a meal. I said no, no, we had already made an appointment when we came."

Duanwu said quickly: "Mr. Xiongshan, you are so popular with friends. We are honored to have you take time out of your busy schedule to come here."

At this time, Inoue also quickly agreed: "Yes, we are honored that Mr. Xiongshan can come."

"Hahaha!"

Xiong Shan laughed loudly, and after a moment he said, "Kurosaki-kun, Inoue-kun, you are so polite. It is also a blessing for me, Xiong Shan, to be able to meet with two like-minded friends in Chuncheng."

As he said this, Xiongshan had already arrived at the private room on the third floor with Duanwu and Inoue.

At this time, Inoue could not wait to take out his own painting of beauty and presented it to Xiong Shan, saying: "Sir, look, this is Tang Bohu's painting of beauty that I have always treasured. Now I give it to you. I hope you like it! Hehe!"

Major General Xiong Shan took the scroll and slowly unfolded it. The beauty in the painting was lifelike, with classical charm between her eyebrows and eyes. It was indeed a good painting of a beauty.

It was just that Inoue's eagerness and directness in giving the gift made the gift less charming. Xiongshan just smiled politely and said, "Mr. Inoue, you are really thoughtful. Tang Bohu's paintings are really rare. Thank you for your generosity."

After saying this, Xiong Shan gently rolled up the scroll and handed it to the adjutant beside him. His reluctance to accept it was obvious.

At this time, Duanwu saw this and sighed in his heart that Jingshang really didn't know how to be an official. Although his gift was given, it might not achieve the effect of the tone.

So Duanwu said at this time: "Mr. Xiongshan, although my gift is not as good as Mr. Inoue's, I also have a small gift from you. I hope you can accept it."

In Duanwu's words, he was completely seeking Xiongshan's opinion, and it was not as strong as Inoue's.

And if it wasn't for Tang Bohu's painting of beauty, I'm afraid Xiong Shan wouldn't have accepted it.

So with just a few short sentences, Duanwu had already gained the upper hand over Inoue.

Moreover, he only mentioned the gift but didn't say what it was, which aroused Xiong Shan's interest even more.

Xiong Shan asked with a smile: "Kurosaki-kun is too modest. I think from your perspective, it must be an extraordinary gift. Can you take it out and let me see it?"

Duanwu smiled and replied, "Of course."

As he spoke, Duanwu stretched out his hand, and Sixth Brother quickly handed the exquisite wooden box in his hand to Duanwu.

At this moment, Xiong Shan's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Because there was a table in the private room, but the gift was not placed on the table, but carried by the bodyguard.

What does this mean? This means the value of this gift.

So Xiong Shan became more and more excited.

Seeing this, Inoue sighed in his heart: "My beauty painting can never compare to Lord Kurosaki's Yuchang sword."

At this time, Inoue thought that his gift was not as good as Duanwu's Yuchang sword.

But in fact, it is Duanwu's language art. At this time, I am afraid that even if Duanwu gave Xiongshan a fire stick, he would think it is a treasure.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. Duanwu has not thought about giving Xiongshan a fire stick, he will be happy.

So, Duanwu carefully opened the wooden box and took out an ancient dagger from it.

The scabbard of the dagger is intricately carved and has an antique feel.

Xiong Shan was stunned for a moment. As a soldier, who wouldn't like swords?

Xiong Shan's eyes fixed, and he looked curiously at the scabbard in Duanwu's hand, and asked: "Kurosaki-kun, what kind of sword is this?"

Duanwu smiled, then kept the secret, saying, "There is a very ancient legend about this sword. I wonder if Lord Xiongshan is interested in hearing it?"

Xiong Shan was naturally eager to hear it. He played with the dagger and said, "I'd like to hear the details!"

Duanwu chuckled, and then continued: "Mr. Xiongshan, it is said that during the Spring and Autumn Period in China, Prince Guang of Wu wanted to assassinate King Liao of Wu and usurp the throne, so he found the warrior Zhuan Zhu.

Zhuan Zhu was not only extremely strong, but also very loyal. In order to complete his mission, he practiced cooking skills and finally gained the trust of King Liao of Wu, and was able to serve a dish called "roasted fish" at the banquet.

The essence of this dish is the fish intestine sword hidden in the fish's belly.

When King Liao of Wu was indulging in the delicious food, Zhuan Zhu suddenly drew out the Yuchang sword. With a flash of sword light, King Liao of Wu fell down. A generation of overlord fell.

Since then, the Yuchang Sword has become a symbol of courage and wisdom, and has been passed down through the world!"

After hearing this, a strange light flashed in Xiong Shan's eyes. He gently drew out the Yuchang sword. The sword light was icy cold, and it could illuminate people like water waves.

Xiong Shan exclaimed: "Kurosaki-kun, this is indeed a good sword. I, Xiong Shan, accept it."

After saying that, Xiong Shan put the Yuchang sword back into its sheath and placed it in the most conspicuous position on the table, obviously cherishing it very much.

Inoue looked at Kumayama cherishing the gift and felt very depressed. The value of his gift and that of Lord Kurosaki were almost the same, but it was obvious that Kumayama liked Lord Kurosaki's gift more.

So he sat next to Duanwu and lowered his voice and said, "Master Kurosaki, Master Xiongshan doesn't seem to like the gift I gave you very much?"

Duanwu also lowered his voice and said, "There is a long way to go. Since Mr. Xiongshan has accepted your gift, he has already had a good impression of you. You can visit him more often in the future and give him some gifts that he likes. Isn't that enough?"

Inoue nodded repeatedly, but at this moment, Duanwu said to Xiongshan: "Mr. Xiongshan, I forgot to tell you one thing. I was originally the one to treat you to this meal. But Mr. Inoue insisted that he be the host, so I had no choice but to give in."

Xiong Shan nodded and said, "Inoue-kun is also a very good young man. He is just not very familiar with the officialdom, but he will get better slowly."

"Hi! Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Xiongshan."

Inoue quickly stood up, bowed, and looked at Duanwu with gratitude.

At this moment, in Inoue's heart, Duanwu was no longer a suspicious element, but his true friend.

Yes, that's right! If anyone said at this time that Duanwu was a rebel, he would definitely fight with the other party at the first opportunity.

Duanwu smiled and felt Inoue's grateful eyes, thinking: "Tomorrow, I will definitely be able to send you all to heaven."

The reason why people send gifts and flatter others during the Duanwu Festival is not to curry favor with the Japanese, but for the Japanese exchange meeting tomorrow.

The high-ranking Japanese officials from the three provinces were all there, and he didn't want to miss them! .
