Chapter 1691 Sugar-Coated Bullet
Three girls with different styles went to help Lu Mingfei and Caesar carry their luggage. Although Lu Mingfei and his friends saw these three delicate beauties helping them personally, they kept saying that they didn't need to do so, but they still couldn't resist the enthusiasm. Even the Murasame in Chu Zihang's hand was taken over by the female secretary.
Caesar was quite satisfied with the meticulous spirit of the Japanese branch, which had traditional Yamato Nadeshiko girls providing personal service as soon as they got off the plane. He had heard that Japan's service industry was the best in the world, and now it seemed that it was well-deserved. He took out the obsidian Athena statue from the suitcase and gave it to the three ladies, and gave a thumbs up to express his gratitude and praise for their service spirit in slightly broken Japanese.
In comparison, Lu Mingfei seemed to cheat a lot. The girl named Aoi, who was wearing a school uniform and youthful, leaned over and chatted with him with a smile while carrying his suitcase in both hands. He used "Eclipse" to temporarily master the Japanese language and started a daily routine with the girl.
"Hello, hello, I'm Lu Mingfei, what's your name?"
When Lu Mingfei spoke in Japanese without an accent, Kui immediately opened her eyes wide, slightly covered her mouth and exclaimed that Lu Mingfei's Japanese was really good, just like a local! This undisguised surprise and praise made Lu Mingfei feel a little ecstatic, and felt that exchanging the ability of Eclipse with the little devil was the most correct choice in his life.
During the communication with Kui, Lu Mingfei also knew that Kui's full name was "Ryoma Kui", and her background was the child of the Ryoma family, one of the five families outside the Eight Families of Sheqi. Since the Ryoma family was involved in the arms industry, Kui was proficient in hot weapons and firearms since he was a child. He never put down his gun since he was seven years old. He was also known as a sharpshooter in the Ryoma family. This time, he was included in the envoy group by the Eight Families of Sheqi.
Longma Kui, on the one hand, not only helped Lu Mingfei and his friends to carry their luggage, but also was Lu Mingfei's personal bodyguard, the kind who would risk his life to help Lu Mingfei block bullets when necessary. He would stay within Lu Mingfei's side during the entire trip to Japan and provide services for Lu Mingfei throughout the trip. Basically, he could be regarded as a warm-hearted character that combines bodyguard, private butler, and tour guide.
By the way, she volunteered to join the envoys because she had long admired the dragon-slaying hero of the headquarters. For this reason, she specially asked for a month-long vacation from the girls' high school to serve Lu Mingfei and his friends. In disguise, it was considered a part-time job. This made Lu Mingfei feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Where do you hide your weapons?" Lu Mingfei suddenly looked at Kui's outfit curiously. This school uniform really didn't look like she could hide anything, but Kui said that she never left her gun.
But Kui didn't answer Lu Mingfei's question. She just playfully twisted the hem of her skirt with her fingers and lifted it up, causing Lu Mingfei to blush and look away. Then he found Kui covering her mouth and looking down with a look of laughter, and then he realized that she was teasing him.
"Can I see your knife?" Chu Zihang looked at the slightly taciturn cold and beautiful female secretary beside him, who was holding two knives in one hand and dragging the luggage with the other hand, and asked in English.
English is the second official language of Japan. Because it is a major tourist country, the locals basically know a few words of English.
The female secretary also understood Chu Zihang's words. After looking at him, she nodded slightly and handed over the knife in her hand.
Chu Zihang took the blue-patterned scabbard, and a bracelet was wrapped around the handle. He placed his right hand on the handle, and pushed out an inch of the blade with his thumb. Under the light, the blade was as bright as the sun, but the refracted luster revealed a sinister and vicious aura, as if it would penetrate people's bones and blood through the light.
"Shuzhumaru Tsunetsugu, with the two characters "Tsunetsugu" inscribed under the watch, and the 颢目刀, made in the Heian period. The replica is placed in the museum of Honkoji Temple as a treasure, and the original is collected by the Fuma family in the family sword museum. This time, the protection of Yitu is a major event, and the head of the Fuma family has given the sword to protect everyone's safety." The woman, whose real name is the upright figure, explained to Chu Zihang in a calm tone.
It is worth mentioning that she used standard Chinese, which means that Chu Zihang does not need to communicate with her in English in the future.
"Do you know Chinese?" Chu Zihang looked at the serious female secretary and asked.
"When I was studying the history of swords and knives in the world, I learned some Chinese by myself in order to study the sword-making materials in Chinese history. I may not be able to express my meaning in some places. Please forgive me." Feng Mo Meidu said with lowered eyes.
"Chu Zihang."
"Feng Mo Meidu."
The two hands were clasped together, both were particularly powerful, and both felt the calluses on the other's knuckles, which were the marks left by holding the knife for a long time. Chu Zihang aside, this woman with the surname Feng Mo must have had a past of swords and knives, and the surname Feng Mo itself represents many things.
Due to the same interest in cold weapons and the other party's love for the history of his country, Chu Zihang's eyes when looking at this woman also eased a little.
It seems that the Japanese branch did not just push some beautiful women to their side to show their goodwill, but really selected people with the right "compatibility" to receive them.
It's just that why they are all women, probably because the opposite sex can let down their guard more when they get along with each other.
"Suzumaru Tsuneji, it's a very powerful sword. I've heard the legend about it. The Qinglian monk used Buddhist beads to wrap a circle around the sword to eliminate its evil nature because it was too violent." Chu. Zihang closed the knife and gave it back to the energetic woman, "I hope you can control it."
"Does your guest like knives very much?" Feng Momeidu took the knife and looked at Chu Zihang, staring into his eyes and asked.
"My sword is a Japanese sword, so I am very interested in swords of the same type." Chu Zihang looked at Murasame, who was holding it for him in Feng Mo Meidu's hand and replied.
"Is that so?" Feng Mo Meidu looked away and nodded lightly, "I hope that we can have the opportunity to visit our sword museum together in the future. There are many famous swords that have been lost for a long time in history. I think our distinguished guests will be very interested. ”
"good."
Chu Zihang nodded, and then he heard the gentle and restrained laughter of a woman from the side. He turned around and found that it was Caesar chatting with Yamato Nadeshiko who was wearing a kimono. Yamato Nadeshiko was actually proficient in Italian. English, Caesar's native language, allowed the two to communicate without any hindrance.
"Is your mother also Italian? I really can't tell. The traces of Italian blood on your body are very shallow. This kimono looks like the most imaginable 'Yamato Nadeshiko'!" Caesar looked at the woman next to him who satisfied all foreigners' imaginations about Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko and praised her.
"Mr. Gattuso joked, Yamato Nadeshiko is just a kind of spirit, which means that under the weak appearance, there is an unconventional temperament. For me, the Italian blood is the foundation of that unconventional style. Just talk about it. "Nadeshiko's" training, compared with that benchmark Shizugozen, I'm still far behind!" Inuyama Aiko covered her mouth and said with a chuckle.
It was obvious that Caesar was confused about what "Shizuomee" was, and Inuyama Aiko softly explained to him the origin of this historical figure.
Shizugozen was a figure in Japan at the end of the Heian period. She was the daughter of Zen master Iso. She was not of noble birth, but was talented and intelligent. Not only was she a beautiful dancer, she was famous as a peerless dancer. She was also persecuted by the shogunate and killed her lover, rebelliously in front of her lover's enemies. She danced to commemorate her, but was later hunted by the shogunate, and fled until she died of illness. Later generations called her the woman who best fit the definition of Yamato Nadeshiko.
"Quiet, reserved, gentle and considerate are the definitions of Yamato Nadeshiko by most contemporary people, but they have never understood that in the "Man'yoshu", Nadeshiko is also often called Dianthus or Qumai. She has a delicate shape, but in fact she is not Delicate, able to grow in a variety of environments, with a long-lasting sweet fragrance that can make people feel comfortable and relaxed, gentle, rebellious but never yielding to power is the true soul of Yamato Nadeshiko." Inuyama Aiko leaned forward slightly. Be beside Caesar and explain to him softly.
"I see." Caesar felt that his understanding of Japanese culture had deepened, and he felt like his experience value was +1. The chat with Inuyama Aiko became more enthusiastic and harmonious, and the words of both parties were full of you. The temptations and friendships I went to, the romance of the Italian men, and the cultivation of Yamato Nadeshiko, all contained the pleasure of meeting an opponent.
"Is this reception the idea of the Sakurai family head?"
In front of the Mercedes, looking at the people behind him who had become familiar with each other, Lin Nian subconsciously thought of the strong young woman in the Sheqi family who was always wrapped in a charming body.
The Sakurai family, who are often active in the business world, do know how to receive guests. It can be said that the hobbies and personalities of Lu Mingfei, Caesar and Chu Zihang have probably been fully understood by them before they can work in the business. This welcoming team is arranged with roles that suit the situation.
Sakurai Hideharu smiled and said nothing, and finally said, "As long as the distinguished guests are satisfied."
It may also be because the Sheqi family knows Lin Nian too well, so there is no role for Lin Nian in Yingying Yanyan's team, and directly let Sakurai Hideharu, a capable character, receive Lin Nian. This is naturally Lin Nian's. The most desired channel for obtaining information quickly.
"The Sakurai family is indeed good at receiving guests." Lin Nian saw that his three colleagues had been treated obediently, and looked sideways at Hideharu Sakurai, "I am beginning to wonder about snakes and their beauty. What kind of bad situation is the Qihachi family in now that they can agree to such a reception arranged by Sakurai Nanami? "
"Is it possible that the courtesy we receive in this department is all because of your favor?" Sakurai Hideharu lowered his posture, his head and eyesight were basically not even with Lin Nian. He lowered his head and said gently, "What do you think about this? The importance of our family, the elders, and all the family heads see it in their eyes and understand it in their hearts. As long as you can respond to our request for help, no matter how grand the welcome ceremony is, I will give it to you before your plane lands! I am worried that you will be dissatisfied with this occasion and get angry! I am not afraid of your laughter. I have already prepared a set of kimono and samurai sword in the trunk of the car. If I fail to live up to the expectations of the Sakurai family head and other elders of the family, This coastline will become the place of disembowelment.”
Lin Nian looked at Hideharu Sakurai up and down. His demeanor was as low as it could be. He couldn't imagine that the attitude of his family to entertain him this time could be so low. It would be an understatement to say that he was greeted as a savior. .
This also reflects that the current situation of the eight Sheqi families is probably extremely bad. Even the pride and dignity that they were unwilling to let go of in the past have now become a bright and exaggerated red carpet under their feet, illuminated by spotlights.
"Please move to your car. I will personally drive you to the Hoshinoya Hotel in Karuizawa Town. There, we have prepared a sumptuous breakfast and a private hot spring to welcome you." Sakurai Hideharu opened the door of the extended Mercedes-Benz, bowed 90 degrees and invited Lin Nian and others to get in the car.
Just as Lin Nian and others were about to walk towards the Mercedes, a light suddenly lit up in the dark wilderness in the distance. It was not sunrise, but the fire of an explosion. Then a dull roar came from afar along with the sea breeze. Not only was there an explosion, but there was also the sound of intensive hot weapons exchanges!
The next moment, Sakurai Hideharu's cell phone rang. He picked up the phone. After a few seconds, his expression changed and he said in a low voice, "How did they get the information? Stop them! They must be stopped! At all costs! I just received a distinguished guest here, and I can't let those bastards mess it up!"
