Chapter 76 76. The Last Trouble

Ding Shaomei just arrived home at noon, and was immediately invited by Tokugawa Nobuo on the phone.It was at this time that the flood flooded the city. "Please go upstairs." Tokugawa Nobuo led the way and led Ding Shaomei up to the second floor.The flood did not rise too fast, but it had already submerged two or three steps of the stairs. The room at the east end of the second floor is a Buddhist hall, surrounded by cigarettes, dedicated to the Japanese god Amaterasu. Nobuo Tokugawa knelt on a futon, saw Ding Shaomei sitting down opposite him, and said, "I guess, you're going to leave this place today."The old man then sighed: "If you leave, maybe we will never meet again in this life. I said earlier that I invited you to Japan to watch the ceremony. It was a joke and impossible. So, before you leave, I would like to fulfill my promise. The promise you made."

Ding Shaomei restrained her mind and stared at him, thinking about what kind of tricks this old guy was playing. "A real man must not break his promise and become fat. I live to be more than eighty years old, how can I be old and lose my integrity? Right here, right now, please help me to get things done." play tricks. At dawn in the morning, Kenji Miyaguchi called. He sounded like a filial student. He was very worried about him, and at the same time resented that the teacher was misunderstood by the military. In the end, he Finally, he read the order signed by the chief of staff to the teacher verbatim.

"For so many years, you really want me to die, right?" Tokugawa Nobuo couldn't help teasing. "It must be very difficult to have a teacher who has been pressing on your head for decades." Kenji Miyaguchi didn't make a sound on the other end of the phone, nor did he hang up the phone. "You must be very afraid that I will return to Tokyo alive, right? You were responsible for these little conspiracies. You are afraid that if I don't die, you will be the one who will be unlucky in the end." In fact, I There is nothing wrong with the students. Our Dahe nation's understanding of family and friendship is by no means as rigid and ridiculous as the Chinese. "I am very grateful that you notified me of this situation in advance, instead of bringing someone directly to arrest me. I think, shouldn't you give me a chance to escape? Haha, I will never escape. At this point, You finally know something real about your teacher."

Miyaguchi Kenji said at the other end: "I don't want you to be humiliated." "Good boy, you got it right." Nobuo Tokugawa cheered up.The result of the discussion between the two was that Miyaguchi Kenji waited until two o'clock in the afternoon to bring someone back—to collect his body. Tokugawa Nobuo took down the long and short Japanese swords from the sword stand and laid them flat in front of the futon, and went to the bedroom to fetch two white sheets and put them at hand.He took off the coat embroidered with the family crest, arranged it neatly on the hanger, and then knelt down on the futon again.

Ding Shaomei sat opposite him, watching his performance quietly, with a calm expression, but her breathing was a little heavy. Nobuo Tokugawa took off his shirt, exposing his flabby, patchy chest, tore the sheet in two, and wrapped it around his stomach. "If it's a formal ceremony, there should be a younger generation to help me with these trivial things. I'm old and lack strength, so I can't wrap it tightly. If the cloth isn't tightly wrapped, the internal organs will flow out after seppuku. That's not true. The decency a samurai deserves." "How lucky you are." Ding Shaomei watched Tokugawa Nobuo struggling to tighten the white sheet on his stomach, and suddenly realized that he was in a mood that was almost a joke at this time. Everything in front of him was like a funny show. Because, he did not complete the agreement reached with Tokugawa Nobuo, neither defeated the Union Bank Securities, nor was he elected as the chairman of the Intelligence Committee.

"You must find it strange?" Tokugawa Nobuo saw the confusion in Ding Shaomei's heart. "I'm afraid that you won't fulfill your part of the promise. I will do what I should do first. You have been in debt to me all your life. So, if you are a real hero and a man, you This debt should be paid after my death." Ding Shaomei didn't doubt that the old spy was really going to commit suicide, but he had doubts about his motives.People like them have to turn three blocks to buy a box of matches, and none of their goals are straightforward. "Please rest assured, I will definitely drive Japanese imperialism out of China." He also formally saluted.

"Then the interest you add to yourself is too great." Tokugawa Nobuo shook his head in disbelief. "Let's get down to business, I don't have much time." He drew out the long sword, threw the shirt into the air, and the shirt floated onto the blade, breaking in two smoothly. "This pair of swords is a treasure handed down from our family. It is the proud work of the most famous swordsmith in Japan. My ancestor, General Tokugawa Ieyasu, wore this pair of swords and defeated Toyotomi Hideyoshi for 300 years. shogunate system." It must be very convenient to wipe the neck with this thing.Ding Shaomei quietly waited for the old man to stretch his neck.

"Child," Nobuo Tokugawa seemed to have tears in his eyes. "In a moment, you hold this long sword and stand a little behind me on the left side, pay attention to my belly-cutting movements, and when I stab the short sword into my belly and cut from left to right, you will swing your sword and cut off my belly." Head group." "How?" Ding Shaomei didn't quite understand, but it was true that the old man wanted to die. Tokugawa Nobuo clasped the hilt of the sword with both hands one after the other, and demonstrated to Ding Shaomei: "Close your hands tightly, raise your arms above your head, and lean slightly to the right, so that you won't touch my shoulder when beheading. I Please, be careful, don't hurt other places, especially the face, my dead wife won't recognize me if I lose my face." Seeing Ding Shaomei's nervous expression, he joked again: "You have to promise to cut off your head with a sword, but It can’t be endless like chopping minced meat.”

"Please don't worry." Even though he killed his father and enemy, Ding Shaomei also had some respect for this ritual. Nobuo Tokugawa picked a clean piece from the remaining bed sheet, cut out a cloth towel with a dagger, and wrapped it tightly around the blade of the dagger, leaving only a foot or so of the edge exposed below. "Sigh, it doesn't fit my status to act hastily like this. It's sad that a real samurai didn't have a white cloth towel, a specialty of Sendai, when he committed suicide." Suddenly he discovered a problem. His stomach was too big and his arms were too short. Even if he held his hands on the cloth wrapping around the blade, the foot-long blade that was exposed still couldn't be aimed straight at his abdomen.It is certainly possible to shorten the blade, but if the blade is too short, what is the difference from a woman committing suicide with scissors?Not to mention cutting the abdomen from left to right, I am afraid that it will only cut the belly.If such a result is really the case, if the news spreads back to the country, his first life's fame will be ruined by this fat belly.

He looked up at Ding Shaomei helplessly, this clever kid might have a solution.What a disgrace to a warrior that he should fail in his most honorable duty!The old man was so anxious that he wanted to cry. Someone was knocking on the window, as anxious as a drum.Ding Shaomei opened the window and saw that it was Yu Nong. The flood outside was about to submerge the roof of the first floor. "Hurry up and go back. The Japanese soldiers are coming to arrest you soon, so follow me." Yunong reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling it out forcefully. Ding Shaomei broke free with her hands, and shouted: "I still have things to settle, and when my enemy is dead, I will naturally go back."

Yunong cried out in anxiety, "Even if you are not afraid of death, Wu Niu is already going to die!" "Ah?" Ding Shaomei was shocked, threw the long sword in front of Tokugawa Nobuo, and said, "I'm sorry you are old, you can take care of yourself." She jumped up and swam back. God!God Amaterasu!Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!Do you really have the heart to let me die in such a humiliating way?Suicide like a woman, I'm afraid it will be turned into a beast in the future.Tokugawa Nobuo cried a few times, then leaned on the hilt of the sword on the floor, pointed the blade at his heart, and threw his fat body forward... Wu Niu's complexion was dull, her eye sockets had sunken, and her lips were chapped. Ding Shaomei asked: "What's the matter? It was fine yesterday." "I just called my family's personal doctor, and he said that this symptom is probably poisoning." Fan Xiaoqing said. "You took her to Tokugawa Nobuo's house for dinner two days ago, have you forgotten? That old man is your father-killing enemy." Will it be so?Ding Shaomei felt dizzy for a moment, and his eyes were burning.If the old guy really poisoned, then it wouldn't be Wu Niu who he wanted to kill, but Ding Shaomei.He suddenly recalled the two cups of cocoa that Zhenzi made that night, and he let Wu Niu drink his own cup. "I'm going to kill him." Ding Shaomei cried out in pain.I thought that this old guy had some status and knew some self-respect. I was wrong. I was a big fool. I thought that this group of invaders had a gentlemanly demeanor and would act according to the rules. He desperately broke free from Yunong and Fan Xiaoqing holding his hand, and wanted to swim back to find Tokugawa Nobuo to settle the score.He cried out, "I must go now, or the old bastard will kill himself first." Yunong was freed from his arm, so he threw himself on the window sill and hugged his thigh, shouting, "It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies, the Japanese soldiers are coming soon, it's important for us to protect Wu Niu." Just before Yunong rowed the tub to find Ding Shaomei, she just received a call.Being the chairman of the intelligence committee is really good, at least she has credibility, and someone is willing to provide her with information first, and then collect money later.The content of the call was the news about the military order to kidnap Ding Shaomei.There is no impenetrable wall in the world. The guy who provided the information was the communications staff officer of the Japanese North China Command. He had all the telecommunication information of the headquarters, and from time to time he exchanged a few pieces of information that he thought were not important. Ding Shaomei knew that no matter how bastard she was, she couldn't ignore the lives of the three ladies, especially after Yunong explained the situation.Seeing that he was finally willing to come down from the window sill, Yu Nong hurriedly said: "You need to calm down now, we need your wit and even more your protection." Yu Nong doesn't talk much, it's all about the joints.He pondered for a while, gradually regaining his sanity, and said, "The first thing to do now is to find a boat." "There is a boat." Fan Xiaoqing said. "This was originally a secret between Wu Niu and I. I wanted to give you a surprise. We agreed that her father would send a boat over as soon as the flood entered the city." She looked at her watch, "It's two o'clock now, maybe It should be here, too." Before she finished speaking, Zuo Yinglong's loud voice rang out from the window, "Girl, girl, don't be afraid, daddy is here to pick you up."
