Findings at sea

Early the next morning, Ji Xingtang sent Mo Bai to Du Wanxiang's place, and went to the Bai mansion by himself.Bai Xiaohong was still sleeping, Ji Xingtang looked at the time and didn't bother him, sat in the living room for a while, Yan Zhaoling called, he said that his subordinates heard someone whispering about Bai Xiaohong's being blown up in the teahouse this morning, and now the wind is blowing If the current situation is unstable and chaotic, it is better not to let Xiaohong go out.Ji Xingtang said: Just think that they are spreading rumors and causing trouble. If such a big incident happened, if the elder brother didn't come forward, they would hold the excuse and talk wildly.

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xingtang realized that he was too nervous, and he thought again, no matter what, there will always be risks in building the plank road and hiding in the dark, and it depends on his own luck.

After Bai Xiaohong went to wash up, Ji Xingtang handed him a set of clothes for him to change into.The black suit tightly outlined his waistline, making him tall and straight, and because of his delicate and gentle face with a bit of a serious smile, as long as he doesn't speak nonsense, no one will know that he is a fool.

After tidying up, Ji Xingtang took Bai Xiaohong out the door.At about ten o'clock, the car arrived at the French embassy in Shanghai.

Bai Xiaohong got out of the car first, and Ji Xingtang followed behind, took off the coat from his shoulders and put it on his arm, and whispered in his ear, "You must remember what I told you."

The gentleman old man with a civilized stick walked towards the two of them with a smile on his face. Before Francis could say hello, Bai Xiaohong questioned him first, "The Japanese army entered the French Concession, Mr. Consul should be more anxious than me."

Francis didn't expect him to pull so violently, and he stretched out a hand and smiled awkwardly.Last night, Ji Xingtang taught him to shake hands with foreigners first, and he forgot before entering the consulate, but fortunately, there is no need to pay attention to these details for urgent matters.

Francis is also an old fritter. Seeing that they were asking questions, he had no choice but to explain in a hurry while inviting the two inside.Bai Xiaohong suddenly remembered what he had explained earlier, and reached out to hold Francis' hand inviting them in, "Mr. Consul, good."

His move made Francis unable to guess what his intentions were, and Ji Xingtang also showed embarrassment.I saw Francis shook hands with him with a smile, and continued what he said just now, "The Japanese army is arrogant and arrogant, and suddenly thousands of well-equipped troops are lurking in the French Concession. If the authorities reject the Japanese request, I am afraid it will only anger them. Bringing war to the French Concession."

Ji Xingtang previously told him to say these two sentences to the foreigner before entering the door, but now Bai Xiaohong stopped talking and walked up the steps calmly.Facing the cowardice of the French Concession authorities, Ji Xingtang said, "Mr. Consul, to tell you the truth, the [-]th Route Army outside the concession also knew the news of the Japanese infiltration into the French Concession, and strengthened its deployment around. If the Japanese army acted rashly, the [-]th Route Army The Route Army will fight back vigorously, and there will be no eggs under the cover of the nest. Once they bombard the French Concession, this tiny place will still be finished."

Francis smiled and said, "Sir Ji is right. Since I am a consul, I will not ignore my evasive words, so I invite the consuls of various countries and the representatives of China and Japan to make a decision."

Ji Xingtang smiled back, it's useless to talk too much.

Entering the conference room, Francis sat at the judgment position at the long table, with an interpreter and a waiter standing beside him.Bai Xiaohong attended the meeting on behalf of the French Concession as a Chinese director.The Japanese representative is the newly appointed Consul General Katogawa, and the Chinese representative is the mayor and secretary-general of Shanghai.In addition, there are consuls from the United Kingdom, the United States and Russia who sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

At the meeting held in the French Concession, Francis first spoke. He first explained the purpose of the meeting in a smooth manner, and then asked the consuls of various countries to express their views-whether the Japanese army had the right to station in the concession or pass through the concession.

As soon as Francis finished speaking, Kato Chuan suddenly stood up, claiming that the Japanese army had the right to station in the concession, and uttered nonsense in a stern manner, threatening the consuls of various countries with military force and militaristic intimidation.

Bai Xiaohong was startled by this man's tiger-wolf voice, looked up at Ji Xingtang standing behind him, and asked in a low voice like a curious child, "What is he doing?"

Ji Xingtang frowned and asked him to sit down and not move around. Bai Xiaohong lowered his head obediently. Fortunately, the consuls of various countries were photographed by the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, and none of them noticed Bai Xiaohong's strange behavior.

What Katogawa said made the people present shudder. The Japanese side is notoriously cruel and cunning.Francis convened this meeting to unite the forces of all countries and deny the illegal behavior of the Japanese. Looking at the current situation, it is very likely that under the intimidation of the Japanese side, it will cause adverse consequences. The momentary silence made people despise the useless behavior of the consuls of various countries.

Bai Xiaohong rested his elbows on the table and propped his fists on his forehead as if thinking, but in fact he was a little sleepy because of the boring meeting, squinting his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

Ji Xingtang patted Bai Xiaohong's shoulder from behind, Bai Xiaohong trembled suddenly, stood up abruptly as soon as he slapped the table, and shouted more sternly than Katogawa, "If the Japanese dare to use the concession to beat the Chinese, I, someone in Bai, can guarantee it." Raze all the concessions to the ground within two hours!"

As he said this, Ji Xingtang stood behind him with his heart pounding in his throat, nervous, uneasy, fighting dangerously, and slanting his sword.

Ji Xingtang taught him these three sentences in total. If nothing else, he should win the bet.

These words were like a thunderbolt, deafening, and the people on the spot looked at each other in blank dismay and remained silent.Seeing their reaction, Ji Xingtang was [-]% sure of winning. The consuls of various countries were not blind vegetarians. The Japanese threatened them, and they were afraid. The concession will not affect other concessions either.But it was different for Bai Xiaohong to threaten them. Although Bai Xiaohong was Hua Dong representing the French Concession, he was also a Chinese, and it was only natural to protect the interests of the Chinese side. What's more, he meant that the French Concession was over, and other concessions would also be doomed.Furthermore, everyone in the world knows the power status of this gangster leader, and he has always kept his word and deeds. I am afraid that if these words are really put into action, once the killing order is issued, tens of thousands of disciples and grandchildren will not be guaranteed. It flattened all the concessions in Shanghai.

At this moment, the secretary-general spoke, and he took advantage of Bai Xiaohong's momentum to say something popular, "The war between China and Japan has nothing to do with the concession, and the security of the concession should be ensured."

When people realized the seriousness of the situation and strongly agreed with this sentence, Ji Xingtang was [-]% sure in his heart.

Immediately, some people echoed the voice, saying that the concession should be independent of the war, and the flames of war should not be burned in the concession.Ji Xingtang looked at Kato Chuan tongue-tied, and she was [-]% sure of it.

The last [-]% is not important anymore, Ji Xingtang patted Bai Xiaohong's shoulder reassuringly and asked him to sit down, and Bai Xiaohong sat down and stopped talking.

The meeting ended in disputes. Japan’s request to attack the Nineteenth Route Army through the concession was unanimously rejected by the consuls of all countries. Katogawa repeatedly weighed that it was not appropriate to conflict with all countries. give up.

Ji Xingtang wanted to take a gamble from the very beginning. The Japanese military strength in Shanghai could dominate this territory, so they were domineering and arrogant. All countries had a heart of peace of mind, but once their interests were threatened, these wolves would try their best to protect them. It is unavoidable to offend the Japanese for their own interests.

After leaving the meeting room, Ji Xingtang let out a long sigh of relief. Now Katogawa should let his army withdraw from the French Concession, so that the [-]th Route Army can fight with all its strength without any worries.

When the representatives of various countries left one after another, Ji Xingtang caught sight of Katogawa's stark and malicious eyes out of the corner of his eye. Feng Youqiao had hidden nothing about the Murai matter before, and he shot and killed several members of the gendarmerie.Ji Xingtang knew it was wrong, he was being targeted by this vicious dog, he had to hand in his resignation for Bai Xiaohong tomorrow, whoever Hua Dong wanted to be, one thing more is worse than one thing less, just take one step at a time.

Back in the car, Ji Xingtang said with a smile, "You performed very well today. I will ask Mo Bai to play with you this afternoon. He likes you very much."

Bai Xiaohong stared intently at his cheek, he was so pretty when he smiled, he moved closer, and begged in a low voice with some fear, "Then...then can you..." His lips were on his He pecked lightly on the face, "Like this."

Ji Xingtang looked around subconsciously, and saw Bai Xiaohong sitting timidly on the car seat, and warned him in a warm voice, "Don't do this, remember." Ji Xingtang stared at him for two seconds, both worried and self-comforting , It’s okay to be stupid, and it’s very obedient if you don’t poke things.Ji Xingtang's face turned cold, and Bai Xiaohong's heart also turned cold, why was he suddenly unhappy again.

He had to take care of the child and worry about fools, so Ji Xingtang took Mo Bai back to the Bai Mansion. He planned to wait for Jinniang to come back and buy a new house nearby, and then find a girl who was kind to him to accompany him to treat his illness, so that he could survive live.
