Tokugawa Chenghiko did not expect An Qing to negotiate for such a long time.
He also planned to finish the conversation in one day and then quickly go to Tokugawa Momo to avoid anything unpleasant happening with Xu Tianhu.
However, he did not dare to leave until the negotiations here were over.
He could not safely leave Takeda Yoshitomo and An Qing to negotiate alone.
He is not particularly worried about the joint maritime cruise.
Because Yan Qi was not on Ryukyu Rock Island, but went on a cruise to the islands surrounding Ryukyu.
Without the presence of Yan Qi, a lot of trouble would be saved.
Huh?
Isn’t that right?
Tokugawa Chenghiko thought of Yan Qi, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to his mind.
Yan Qi went on a tour to the surrounding islands, and Dahua and the Japanese jointly went on a tour in the surrounding areas.
Will they run into each other?
If they collide, will anything happen?
Thinking of this, Tokugawa Chenghiko was so nervous that he was covered in cold sweat.
For a long time, he shuddered.
If I think too much, I must be thinking too much.
How could it be possible to touch the vast sea?
Just that coincidental?
Nonsense!
I was so frightened by Yan Qi that I had a mental problem.
Tokugawa Chengyan shook his head vigorously, controlling himself not to think wildly, and to concentrate on meeting the challenge from An Qing.
…
The joint maritime search and rescue patrol has officially begun.
Sendokai divided the 200,000-strong army into three groups.
Tokugawa Hyakui, Tokugawa Shijing, and Tokugawa Kuichi each lead a team.
Sendokai directs from the center.
The Dahua navy and the Japanese navy set off one after another, sailing hundreds of miles away.
Xu Tianhu sent a flying pigeon message to Xian Daobei, saying that he saw pirates appearing and inviting Japanese generals to the command room of the Dahua warship to discuss the suppression of bandits.
Sendobei received the letter and summoned Tokugawa Hyakui, Tokugawa Shijing, and Tokugawa Jiuyi: "Xu Tianhu sent someone to invite us to the Dahua warship command room to discuss the suppression of bandits. Which of you will go with me?"
Tokugawa Momoe sneered: "Xu Tianhu invites us, and we go? Who is he? In my eyes, he is nothing."
Tokugawa Shijing said: "If it hadn't been for the British Lord's repeated instructions not to cause trouble, I would have taken advantage of this opportunity to kill Xu Tianhu."
Tokugawa Jiuyi looked at Sendobei with disdain: "You just give Xu Tianhu face? Are you so afraid of him? Are you a coward? Look at our three brothers, who treats Xu Tianhu as a pickle? It's just you. , using Xu Tianhu’s chicken feathers as a command arrow.”
Sendogai was very angry, with a scowl on his face: "The hero asked us to jointly patrol with Dahua, and also told us to maintain harmony and harmony."
"Now, Xu Tianhu politely invites us and lowers his profile, but we ignore him. How can we do this? Isn't that just looking for trouble? With your arrogant attitude, there is still a possibility of conflict between Dahua and Japan. Is it harmonious?"
Tokugawa Hyakui laughed strangely: "Who wants to really be in harmony with the Dahua Navy? I tell you, I even want to kill Xu Tianhu."
Tokugawa Shijing drew out his knife: "The British Lord said that harmony is all fake and just a matter of muddling through. Once the South China Sea issue is resolved, we will find a way to defeat the Dahua Navy."
Tokugawa Jiuyi sneered: "Whoever participates will be the lapdog of the Dahua navy."
"you……"
After hearing the words of Tokugawa Hyakui, Tokugawa Ishizuru, and Tokugawa Kuichi, Sendobei was very disappointed and sighed heavily: "Even for the sake of superficial harmony, we have to go for a while. Others are in favor, but we Bao Li, in this way, doesn’t it follow the British Lord’s instructions and maintain superficial harmony?”
"Bah, whoever wants to go can go, anyway, I won't go."
"I won't give Xu Tianhu face. I don't want any peaches!"
"Xian Daobei, you can go alone. Are you so active, do you want to flatter Xu Tianhu, haha."
…
The three of them looked sarcastic.
Xian Daobei angrily rebuked: "I go by myself. Firstly, it shows that we do not respect Xu Tianhu. Secondly, it is not in line with the Japanese rules. I order you to go with me. At least one of the three of you must go."
Tokugawa Momoe looked disdainful: "Sendokai, you ordered us? That's right? We are the backbone of the Tokugawa family, how can you order us?"
Tokugawa Shijing said: "We don't listen to you, what can you do?"
Tokugawa Jiuyi laughed strangely: "Do you really think you are a big-tailed wolf, and you still order us? You should order us with a knife."
…
The three of them laughed wildly.
"you……"
Sendobei was angry and angry: "Okay, okay, if you don't go, then I will go by myself. It's really...it's really mud that can't hold up the wall."
…
Xian Daobei took his personal guards and boarded Xu Tianhu's warship.
"General Sendokai, we are waiting from afar."
Xu Tianhu came out to greet him generously, with a smile on his face.
Sendobei hurriedly returned the courtesy: "General Xu, please welcome me."
Xu Tianhu looked around: "Is General Xian Daobei the only one here?"
"Well……"
Sendogei was a little embarrassed: "Tokugawa Hyakui, Tokugawa Shijing, and Tokugawa Kuichi have other tasks and are not free, so I have to come alone to discuss the suppression of bandits with General Xu."
Xu Tianhu laughed loudly: "General Xian Daobei, there is no need to be embarrassed. It is just right for you to come alone. I am even happier."
"ah?"
Sendobei looked confused.
He thought Xu Tianhu was speaking sarcastically, but when he saw Xu Tianhu's proud smile, there was no trace of anger on his face.
He was blinded.
Xu Tianhu is actually quite happy?
Why?
Instead of giving him face, he was very happy?
Puzzled!
Xu Tianhu put his arms around Xiandaobei cordially and entered the cabin.
This made Sendogei very uncomfortable.
Why is Xu Tianhu so enthusiastic?
It seems...there seems to be something abnormal.
Yesterday, in the conference room, Xu Tianhu still had a cold face towards him?
Why have you become so easy-going today?
Xu Tianhu put his arm around Xiandaobei's shoulders and said with a smile: "General Xiandaobei, there is an old acquaintance of yours here. He is waiting for you to drink together."
"oh?"
Sendao Beimei said: "Old acquaintance? Who?"
"You'll find out when you go in."
Xu Tianhu pulled Xiandaobei in.
Sendokai entered the cabin and saw an old acquaintance for the first time.
"Master Mitsui! Why are you here?"
Sendokai's eyes widened and he was shocked.
Unexpectedly, Mitsui Luo would appear on Dahua's warship.
Mitsui Raku laughed and went up to them: "General Sendokai came alone? Okay, great. Others are here, and I don't welcome them yet. General Sendokai came alone. I'm happy, quite happy."
Sendobei couldn't help but become more confused when he heard what Mitsui Rakuya said.
I came alone and am I so popular?
I do not know.
Xian Daobei asked Xu Tianhu: "General Xu, how do you want to suppress the bandits? I will definitely cooperate."
Xu Tianhu laughed loudly: "Let's put aside the matter of suppressing bandits for now. Let's drink and have fun first."
Sendokai wants to give in again.
Xu Tianhu pulled Xiandaobei to sit down.
Xian Daobei, Xu Tianhu, and Mitsui Luo were polite and sat down together.
As soon as Sendobei sat down, he noticed something strange.
There were three of them, but there were four sets of cutlery on the table.
Could it be that... there is another person?
