"Xiao Shu, you and Daochang Chen know each other!"
Rong Duanfu, who didn't understand what happened, walked over and asked doubtfully.
"Oh, Uncle Rong, Taoist Chen and I have met several times before."
Shu Guan quickly said with a smile.
Taoist Chen next to him looked at the expressions of the two of them and realized that he might have been a bit arrogant just now. At this time, he quickly smoothed things over and said:
"Yes, yes, layman Rong, Pindao and this little friend Shu have met several times before, so we just said hello."
Rong Duanfu looked at the two of them suspiciously.
Daochang Chen and Shu Guan knew each other. Although this incident was surprising, it was still understandable.
But the problem is, looking at the expressions of the two people just now, it's not just as simple as acquaintance.
Just because they knew each other, Daozhang Chen would not pay such a big courtesy to Xiao Shu.
But at this time, he couldn't ask Shu Guan what he was talking about. Rong Duanfu suppressed the doubts in his heart and personally introduced Daozhang Chen into the banquet hall.
Taoist Chen was indeed respected by thousands of people in Jingcheng. Even the high-status guests in the hall came over to greet him after seeing Taoist Chen come in.
Rong Duanfu finally saw with his own eyes how popular Daochang Chen was among the upper class in Jingcheng.
In fact, Daochang Chen, who had only met him once before, was extremely polite to Rong Duanfu in front of everyone, and even said in public that as long as Rong Duanfu had time, he could come to Taiyi Temple to drink tea with him at any time.
You must know that being able to have tea with Taoist Chen once is a great honor in Jingcheng's upper class society.
So after Chen Taoist said these words, the guests present, especially those who did not know Rong Duanfu originally but came to the banquet because of the reputation of the Rong family, looked at Rong Duanfu in the eyes. It becomes even more different.
In addition to envy, everyone's eyes showed a look of contemplation.
Rong Duanfu, who had been given so much face by Director Chen, was both proud and flattered. He also understood the weight of what Director Chen just said.
It's just that I and Daochang Chen only met once ten years ago. Why does this living god in Jingcheng treat me so differently this time?
For Xu Pingxi's sake?
The problem is that when Xu Pingxi introduced him to the old Taoist Chen ten years ago, the old Taoist Chen did not let the two of them have tea.
Xu Pingxi himself said that it was not easy for him to visit Taoist Master Chen.
...Is it because of my prospective son-in-law?
Rong Duanfu's mind flashed again to the scene where Master Chen was saluting Shuguan outside the door just now.
But is this possible?
My prospective son-in-law is just a small policeman. Why should someone like Daochang Chen give him such face to help him?
Rong Duanfu couldn't help but think of the huge sum of money Shu Guan had deposited in his own bank.
It seems that his prospective son-in-law really has some secrets!
But today is not the right time to ask.
By dusk, the number of guests coming here was increasing, and almost everyone to whom he had sent invitations was present.
This made Rong Duanfu, who was originally a little worried that not many guests would come today, very excited and smiled brightly.
And his excitement reached its peak when several major consuls from various countries stationed in Jingcheng came together.
After all, in today's Dahua, if you want to do real big business, it is impossible to do it without the cooperation of these powerful countries in the Western Continent.
Rong Duanfu conversed with the consuls stationed in Jingcheng skillfully in various languages.
Shu Guan followed Rong Duanfu and admired his future father-in-law's language talent. However, when facing the last consul, Rong Duanfu suddenly chose to greet him in Mandarin.
Because the last person to come in was Takeo Nakata, the consul of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun in Jingcheng.
When he saw Takeo Nakata, Shu Guan frowned slightly.
...just wait two more days
, he can't escape anyway...
Shu Guan told himself in his heart that he didn't want to disturb Rong Duanfu's banquet here.
But somewhat unexpectedly, Rong Duanfu also had a very cold attitude towards Nakata Takeo, and just said hello casually in Mandarin.
When Nakata Takeo entered the hall, Eitanfu also muttered to himself in confusion:
"How did this consul from the Kingdom of the Rising Sun come back? I didn't even invite him?"
Seeing that Shu Guan's expression was a little abnormal, Rong Duanfu seemed to have misunderstood, and specially explained:
"Our Rong family has never done business with people from the Rising Sun Country, no matter how good their conditions are."
However, since people are here, they can't be driven away, so Rong Duanfu still went up to them and said calmly in Mandarin:
"Mr. Nakata, welcome."
But there was no welcome on his face.
Nakata Takeo also had a look of arrogance on his face and said in blunt Mandarin:
"Rongsang, I'm here uninvited, Rongsang, you won't mind, right?"
There was also no unsolicited apology on his face.
"We have a saying in Dahua that everyone who comes is a guest. I hope Mr. Nakata can enjoy the dance tonight and the delicious food. There are too many guests today. If there is any inconvenience in greeting me, please forgive me Mr. Nakata. .”
Rong Duanfu replied noncommittally.
The meaning of his words is also very obvious. Since you are here by yourself, you should eat and have fun, but if you want to talk about other things, don't talk about it. I am too lazy to greet you.
Takeo Nakata seemed to understand what Eitanfu meant, and said coldly:
"I heard from our empire's consul in Shencheng that our Rising Sun Kingdom wanted to cooperate with you Rongsang in running banks and factories, but you were rejected by Rongsang."
"Our Rong family's business is too small and we are not qualified to cooperate with your country."
Rong Duanfu said calmly.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Nakata Takeo's face and he said:
"Rongsang, maybe it won't be long before you ask to cooperate with our Empire of the Rising Sun..."
But at this moment, Takeo Nakata finally noticed Shu Guan standing behind Rong Duanfu.
Then his expression suddenly changed, and he stopped speaking abruptly.
But soon he seemed to remember something, and the panic and fear in his eyes quickly disappeared, and he regained his fearless arrogance. He let out a cold snort and walked directly into the hall.
...It seems that this guy knows himself and knows his true identity...
Looking at Takeo Nakata's back and thinking about the fear and panic that flashed in his eyes just now, Shu Guan felt a hint of enlightenment in his heart.
"What? Do you know the consul of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun?"
At this time, Rong Duanfu asked so curiously, because he also noticed the strange look on Nakata Takeo's face when he looked at Shu Guanshi.
Shu Guan quickly shook his head in denial.
At this time, a group of soldiers from a distance came towards the hall, and the one surrounded by them was Xu Pingxi, the governor-general of Chu Xiang.
Rong Duanfu was overjoyed and took Shu Guan's arm to greet him.
"Your Governor Xu from Jingcheng is here. Come with me to greet him."
"I will introduce you to you later. Xiao Shu, if you behave better and leave a good impression on Marshal Xu, it will be much easier for you to do whatever you do in Jingcheng in the future."
While striding away, Rong Duanfu did not forget to explain Shu Guan carefully.
Although the Rong family is the top business tycoon in Dahua, compared to Xu Pingxi, who monopolizes two continents, holds an army of 100,000, and controls the fate of tens of millions of people in the two continents, his status as Rong Duanfu The status is still slightly inferior.
In this era, those who control the military are the ones who truly have the most say.
"Shuai Xu, I haven't seen you for ten years, but you are still as charming as ever!"
Rong Duanfu laughed and stretched out his hands towards Xu Pingxi from a distance.
"This time, I really want Marshal Xu to lend you your manor so that Duanfu can have a place to entertain guests. Duanfu will be very grateful."
Xu Pingxi also strode over with a smile on his face. He even dropped the guard beside him and trotted over directly.
Rong Duanfu was immediately grateful and proud that Xu Pingxi, a famous general with great reputation in China, could welcome him so warmly. He, Rong Duanfu, could be said to have earned a lot of face today.
Rong Duanfu was already considering whether he should donate hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to Xu Pingxi's army later.
But the two finally met in the middle of the road. However, Rong Duanfu was about to shake hands with Xu Pingxi, but Xu Pingxi directly pushed his hands away, without even looking at him, and trotted past him and ran to Shu Guan's side. In front of him, he said with a polite smile:
"You're here too!"
"If I had known you were coming, Lao Xu, I would have put everything aside and come back to be with you first."
Behind Xu Pingxi, Rong Duanfu's smile froze on his face.
In fact, not only his smile froze, but his whole person froze.
Shu Guan smiled bitterly.
He had already winked at Xu Pingxi just now, but he didn't know whether Xu Pingxi didn't understand or didn't care at all.
Anyway, I still couldn’t wait to come over and say hello.
At this time, Rong Duanfu was still frozen there.
He heard Xu Pingxi's greetings to Shu Guan clearly.
you?
This great warlord, whose military strength ranks among the top three in Great China, actually used "you" to address Xiao Shu just now?
What exactly is going on?
Daochang Chen also respected Xiao Shu so much, and now Xu Pingxi also looks so deferential.
Xiao Shu, isn't he an ordinary patrolman?
Shu looked at his future father-in-law, who was motionless like a stake, and then looked at Xu Pingxi, who was standing in front of him with a flattering smile, and sighed in his heart.
He didn't know how to explain it.
Fortunately, at this time, Rong Miao, who was dressed up, finally arrived, and Shu Guan quickly said to the two of them:
"You guys chat, I'll go stay with Miaomiao first."
No matter what, I'll just use the God-forgetting Talisman left by the Patriarch later.
Shu Guan left the two old men without looking back.
After a long while, Rong Duanfu finally came to his senses.
"Brother Xu, it turns out you also know my prospective son-in-law!"
He forced a smile and asked Xu Pingxi a little tentatively.
Xu Pingxi immediately glared at him and said:
"Your son-in-law? Have Brother Shu and your daughter registered? Are they married? Lao Rong, although we are friends, you can't say this nonsense."
"Our family, Xiangxiang, has a very good relationship with Brother Shu. There is no telling who will be his father-in-law in the future."
Rong Duanfu was stunned again.
He really didn't expect that one day the Governor-General of Chu Xiang would compete with him for his son-in-law.
The question is why are small bundles so popular?
"My prospective son-in-law...what is his identity?"
Rong Duanfu finally couldn't help but cautiously asked Xu Pingxi.
"I told you, Brother Shu is not your son-in-law yet..."
Xu Pingxi waved his hand impatiently, but then he paused and suddenly reacted.
"...You still don't know the identity of Brother Shu?"
He asked Rong Duanfu strangely.
Rong Duanfu shook his head blankly.
Does Xiao Shu have any other identities?
Xu Pingxi suddenly laughed.
"Then I can't tell you."
He said to Rong Duanfu so proudly.
…
The banquet finally officially started
.
Tonight's opening dance was performed by the host of the banquet, Rong Duanfu, and his daughter Rong Miao.
In Shanghai, Rong Duanfu is a famous dance master. His elegant and superb dancing skills have fascinated countless ladies and ladies in Shanghai.
But today, Rong Duanfu's performance was a little abnormal, his movements were clumsy, his eyes were wandering, and he stepped on his daughter's feet several times. He looked very distracted.
"Miaomiao, do you know if Xiao Shu has other identities?"
Rong Duanfu hesitated again and again, but still couldn't hold it back and asked his daughter softly.
"Dad, Shu Guan is just a policeman. What other identities does he have?"
Rong Miao's eyes were full of confusion, not only because of Rong Duanfu's question, but also because of her father's steps on her.
Rong Duanfu gritted his teeth and prepared to tell his daughter about the abnormality in Shuguan that he discovered today, and then ask his daughter to ask what was going on in Shuguan.
It's just that he didn't have the chance to ask in the end, and they didn't have the chance to finish their dance, and today's banquet came to an end.
Because something big happened right after.
A very big event that will affect the fate of many people.
An officer in military uniform rushed into the banquet hall. He held a telegram in his hand. His face was pale and his expression seemed to be filled with overwhelming anger. He rushed in front of Xu Pingxi and even forgot to salute. Start reporting directly.
...Thousands of words are omitted here. The general plot is that the Kingdom of the Rising Sun launched a war, and the Republic of China government electrified the whole country. I wrote it very well, but it's a pity...
The officer's report was not very loud, but everyone around Xu Pingxi heard what he reported clearly.
Then the news spread quickly in the hall.
Then the hall quickly became quiet.
The din of people drinking and drinking stopped, the band stopped playing, and the people dancing on the dance floor stopped. Everyone stood there blankly, as if they were stunned by the news just now.
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and even supports offline reading.
Already knew it by then.
This is also the purpose of coming to this banquet tonight even without being invited.
He went deep into the enemy camp alone, subdued the enemy's troops without fighting, and used the power of the empire to make these Chinese people surrender.
This is a heroic thing worthy of being recorded in history!
At this moment, Takeo Nakata was so moved that his body was trembling slightly because of his courage and determination.
But in the hall, many people looked at him, with anger in their eyes, but also more helplessness.
...and omitted more than 300 words, describing the reasons for their helplessness...
Xu Pingxi was so angry that his chest was heaving violently. He was ready to give an order to drive this arrogant guy out immediately.
Not only to drive him out of his manor, but also to drive him out of Jingcheng.
If you choose no to resist and can't be killed, then it'll be no problem if I drive you away!
Damn it, I'm not in the central military system, so there's no need to obey the old man's orders in everything.
At this time, except for the consuls of several powerful countries on West Main Road, who were whispering among themselves and seemed not to be shocked by the news, almost everyone else in the hall remained silent.
But Shu Guan was not silent, he was talking to Rong Miao.
"I'll come back to you later and tell you something."
He smiled and said to Rong Miao:
"But I have to do something now, so don't be afraid or worry."
After saying that, he gently kissed Rong Miao's delicate cheek, and then walked forward.
There were some things that he had planned to do a few days later.
But now that something like this has happened, he can only do it now, and unlike his original plan to resolve it privately, he is now prepared to do it in public!
Anyway, I'm ready to do anything!
Shu Guan thought so.
Rong Duanfu in front of him heard the conversation between him and Rong Miao, turned his head in shock, and asked anxiously:
"Xiao Shu, what do you want to do?"
As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and hold Shu Guan's arm.
But Shu Guan obviously walked past him, but Rong Duanfu somehow missed him.
Shu Guan didn't look back and walked straight ahead.
When passing by Xu Pingxi, he stretched out his palm.
"Give me your gun to use."
He said this to Xu Pingxi.
Xu Pingxi was startled at first, then seemed to think of something, his eyes showed excitement, he pulled out his gun and put it in Shu Guan's palm.
Shu Guan took the gun and continued walking forward.
He walked towards Takeo Nakata.
At this time, Takeo Nakata also noticed Shu Guan walking over and saw the gun in Shu Guan's hand.
He knew who Shu Guan was, and Princess Yingzi had shown them secretly taken photos of Shu Guan.
Therefore, most of Takeo Nakata's heroic spirit that he thought he had just now disappeared, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
However, he immediately puffed up his chest and shouted to Shu Guan confidently:
"What do you want to do! You people are not allowed to take action against us mortals!"
Shu Guan did not speak, walked directly in front of Takeo Nakata, raised his hand and strangled Takeo Nakata's neck, pointed the muzzle of the pistol at his head, and pulled the trigger.
Takeo Nakata roared in despair.
Then crisp gunshots rang out continuously in the hall.
Shu Guan shot all the bullets in the pistol into Takeo Nakata's head in one breath.
Then he let go and allowed Takeo Nakata, whose head had turned into a rotten watermelon, to collapse on the cold ground like a pile of mud.
Shu Guan threw the pistol back at Xu Pingxi, his eyes slowly turned around in the hall, looking at the dumbfounded people, and said something seriously.
"I hope that one day,
When the enemy comes to you, you all have the courage to draw your gun and kill them! "
After saying this, Shu Guan Shi Shiran walked out of the hall.
When he went out, he touched the paper swallow on his chest that his master had given him.
