Spy Shadow

Chapter 495 Tian Jun’s inscription

"Without Chu Lingyun, your operations department won't be able to do its job?"

Xu Yi joked that it was good for him that Chu Lingyun was not here, at least he would not be pressured so hard by the Action Department. When Chu Lingyun was in the Action Department, he was really under great pressure.

If he hadn't relented in time and asked Chu Lingyun for help, the position of intelligence section chief would have been gone long ago.

"Even if our operations department does nothing, nothing will happen."

He Nian said unconvinced, he understood that Xu Yi was laughing at him for being unable to live without Chu Lingyun.

That was the truth, and he didn't deny it.

Xu Yi was choked. The Operations Section had made too many meritorious deeds. Nowadays, the Military Intelligence Department had only a small amount of credit. More than 80% of the credit came from the Operations Section.

The Action Department is a meritorious department. Even if it fails to achieve results, Virgo will not blame it.

But he can't do it. The Intelligence Department is mainly about intelligence, and there haven't been so many dazzling achievements in the past. If they don't do things, they will definitely be punished.

He Nian and Xu Yi have a good relationship, but their private competition has never stopped.

"Stop talking about this, you know what Virgo is thinking. If you can catch Jian Zhifang this time, Virgo will definitely be very happy."

Xu Yi said quietly, and He Nian nodded: "You are right, a group of people I sent will be back soon. I hope they can bring back good news."

Many people were sent out to celebrate the New Year and went out from various city gates to investigate.

He thought the same as Chu Lingyun. Jian Zhifang's family couldn't move so many things and had to use a car. They didn't find out that Jian Zhifang exchanged the money for foreign exchange or banknotes at the bank, and Jian Zhifang didn't dare to do so.

With so much money, a car can't pull it, so a truck must be used.

He focused his investigation on trucks.

In fact, Zhao Zaili is also pursuing in this direction, and the truck is their common target.

No truck disappears for no reason in the city. Car rental companies and freight companies are their key targets of inquiry. No matter who hires the truck, as long as they leave the city, they will definitely trace it to the end.

People who wish to celebrate the New Year are checking the whereabouts of these trucks.

However, both he and Zhao Zaili ignored one thing. Money can be hidden. This much money is a lot, but it is not difficult to hide it. You can dig a cellar in any house and put it away.

The reason why they ignore it is related to their environment.

They are in Wuhan and understand that Wuhan is heavily guarded. If it were them, with so much money, they would definitely leave with the money as soon as possible, and they would not leave it in the city.

Feng Yong is still living in the hotel, and Kang Qiang has been promised a transfer and is now full of energy.

After being transferred to Chongqing, he was still the chief of the general bureau. Chongqing was the future capital. The position of the chief there was equivalent to the position he had in Nanjing before Wang Sheng became the branch director.

In the past, he wouldn't have dared to think about that position.

Wang Sheng followed the right person, and he followed the right Wang Sheng.

With Chief Chu's backing, Wang Sheng will definitely become the director in the future. It will definitely not be a dream for him to become a branch director by then.

His biggest wish now is to be the branch chief.

…

Wolf Seven entered the city again.

He was here to purchase things. Not long after they settled down nearby, more than half of the brothers who originally numbered in the thousands were lost after fighting the Japanese.

After arriving near Wuhan and successfully settling in, only more than 200 people were left.

Fortunately, the original old brothers did not lose much. Most of the casualties were the men recruited later. In Wuhan, they captured another small bandit den and recruited the bandits inside. Now there are almost 400 people.

It's just that there are too few guns, only more than a hundred.

Their boss was very dissatisfied with this and asked him to go into the city to inquire about the situation on the black market and find a way to buy a batch of arms. Not only should everyone have a gun, but at least half of the people should have weapons in their hands. There must be no shortage of guns and ammunition.

There are also radio stations, no matter how expensive you can buy them.

If you can't buy it, try to get some accessories to assemble it yourself. In short, you must have all these things.

"Team leader, the target has appeared."

As soon as Lang Qi entered the city, he was stared at. Team leader Huang looked at Lang Qi and nodded gently: "Comrades, be careful. It's better to be lost than to wake up."

Team leader Huang is the leader of the anti-rape team in Wuhan. After Ke Gong's order came, Secretary Hao from Wuhan immediately handed over the task to their anti-rape team.

Secretary Liang is also in Wuhan, but he will not stay here forever. Secretary Liang has been ordered to evacuate to Chongqing first.

Secretary Liang's medical skills are very good and he is the backbone of the hospital. People like him will not be left behind casually.

If the top leaders of the party are more afraid of death, doctors can save lives, and good doctors will be transferred by them.

"yes."

The team members took the order, and the two team members followed each other and focused on Lang Qi.

Wolf Seven was very alert and made anti-tracking actions.

"Team leader, the target is not an ordinary person, he must be an agent."

The team members who were following him almost didn't follow him. If it weren't for his luck, he saw Wolf Seven again in front, and he would have lost track this time.

After returning, he immediately reported to Team Leader Huang.

"Agent?"

Team leader Huang was a little confused. He was the leader of the anti-rape team and knew what the mission was, but the other team members did not.

The main reason is that this task is too important. It is not to deal with the Fruit Party, but to find the corrupt official of the Fruit Party and collect the money in his hands.

The amount of money is too large to be disclosed.

Chu Lingyun's information to Ke Gong clearly stated that among the remaining two suspected targets, there was no one similar to Jian Zhifang.

Team Leader Huang knows that Jian Zhifang is from the Party Affairs Department. Will there be professional agents serving him?

It's possible, but it's too low.

Jian Zhifang had taken away so much money and would not trust an agent.

"Follow up."

No matter who the other party is, since it is an order from above, Team Leader Huang will execute it.

Lang Qi came to a hotel and checked into a room.

Lang Qi is a bandit, a genuine bandit, and he now recognizes his identity.

But he is no ordinary bandit.

He has read books, received special training, has good physical skills, good marksmanship, can drive and repair cars, can connect various wires, understands radio, and can bomb and defuse bombs.

He had been a very good agent.

Unfortunately, Mr. Xu was suspicious, nepotistic, and wronged them. Under the leadership of the team leader, they escaped from prison together and successfully settled in Hui Province.

He is Tan Wenbo's man.

When Zhan Shan was the queen, under the leadership of Tan Wenbo, they developed rapidly and grew rapidly. At their largest number, they exceeded a thousand people and had more than 600 guns. They became the largest and most powerful bandits nearby at that time.

Give Tan Wenbo time, he can continue to grow.

Finally the Japanese came.

Some bandits surrendered to the Japanese, but they did not. After all, they were once bloody people, and Tan Wenbo was even more unwilling to sacrifice his life for the Japanese.

The people sent by the Japanese to persuade them to surrender were directly killed by them.

In the end, they attracted retaliation from the Japanese. Relying on their favorable location and excellent command, they repelled several Japanese attacks, but their ammunition stocks declined rapidly.

Tan Wenbo was very decisive. He understood that he could not hold on and found an opportunity to lead his troops to break out.

During the breakout, the weaknesses of these bandits were undoubtedly exposed.

Although Tan Wenbo conducted militarized training for them, a group of bandits who just wanted to eat and the training time was short, how could they become real soldiers.

It was okay when we were on the mountain, they played defense and were very orderly.

This failed when he was escaping, but the Japanese caught him. In the end, Tan Wenbo gave up most of his troops and fled to Hubei with the remaining elite soldiers.

He doesn't want to settle near Wuhan, but there is no suitable place for the time being.

His people needed to be repaired and more supplies needed to be purchased. Fortunately, he had saved a lot of money during this period. In addition, Tan Wenbo was once the team leader and had a broader vision. He wanted to replenish the supplies near Wuhan and start again. transfer.

He has not yet made a final decision on where to go, but one thing is that he will not surrender to the Japanese and become a traitor.

Not long after they arrived near Wuhan, Lang Qi was more clever and was sent by Tan Wenbo to go into the city to make purchases.

Lang Qi doesn't have much money, but they want a large amount. After finding the right person, they can go to the outside of the city to have a detailed discussion, and then they will get the money and goods. In today's troubled times, no one dares to trust anyone.

It wasn't until evening that Lang Qi went out.

There were still anti-following actions. Team Leader Huang knew that his identity was unusual, so he didn't dare to let anyone follow him too closely. He sent additional manpower, and finally he didn't lose him.

"Goed to the black market?"

Team Leader Huang quickly received the news that Lang Qi had arrived at the black market, and he talked to the people in the black market very skillfully.

Team Leader Huang had people who had been in the black market, and they took advantage of the crowd to get close to him.

"Buying arms?"

Team Leader Huang frowned. The person who wanted to buy arms was definitely not their target. If the other party wanted to buy arms, it was unlikely that they were Japanese spies, but bandits were very likely.

In troubled times, there are many bandits.

Bandits are most in need of weapons and are also the big customers of these arms dealers.

"You guys keep watching, I'll report it."

After Team Leader Huang found out, he immediately ordered that he needed his superiors to make a decision on this matter. He could not make the decision whether this person should be beaten, killed or released.

Secretary Hao quickly received the report from Team Leader Huang.

"Suspected bandits, buying arms?"

But Secretary Hao was thinking more. Jian Zhifang was rich and had been a high-ranking official. Could it be that he wanted to form his own armed forces to protect his money?

But this idea was quickly rejected by him.

What Jian Zhifang took was not ordinary money. Not to mention that it was impossible to form a very powerful armed force with this money. Even if it could be formed, it would be completely wiped out.

In this way, this goal has nothing to do with Jian Zhifang, and it is impossible for Jian Zhifang to collude with the bandits.

That is seeking the skin of a tiger. His money will be swallowed up by the bandits, and his family will become corpses.

"Continue to keep an eye on him. No matter what his identity is, he must be verified clearly and the other person will be found as soon as possible."

Secretary Hao ordered that the target had not yet been identified and he was not suitable for reporting.

"yes."

Team Leader Huang took the order. Lang Qi didn't know that he was being targeted. He was an agent, but he was imprisoned for several months and then became a bandit for a long time.

His abilities have long since deteriorated.

However, he was very satisfied with the results of inquiries on the black market. There was a dealer who could give them two hundred guns and ten thousand rounds of ammunition, but the price was a bit high.

These are troubled times, and the price of guns has been rising. Tan Wenbo has long expected this, as long as he can buy it, it doesn't have to be ridiculously high.

Lang Qi made an agreement with the other party that he would go out of the city to negotiate tomorrow and he would return to the hotel.

"Team leader, another target has entered the city."

Early the next morning, Team Leader Huang was monitoring Lang Qi, and his subordinate's report shocked the team leader.

"Where is it, let's go there."

Team Leader Huang left four people on Lang Qi's side to continue watching, and went to another target himself.

The anti-rape team has received the most rigorous training. They are very capable of tracking and anti-tracking, and they are very skilled. Four people can target one person, even if he is a real agent.

This target is the city entered from the south gate, which is currently in the south of the city.

"Where are the people?"

Team Leader Huang hurried to the south of the city and saw only two of his men.

"Lost."

The two lowered their heads and whispered. Team Leader Huang's eyes widened. Two professional people actually lost him?

"You guys, let me say hello to you."

Team leader Huang cursed angrily, and one of them raised his head: "Team leader, we didn't dare to follow too closely. He walked left and right in an alley and got rid of us after a while, but he was definitely not an ordinary person. His anti-tracking ability is very strong.”

"Okay, I get it, no one is shocked, right?"

Team Leader Huang asked, and his subordinates immediately shook their heads: "No, I just didn't dare to scare him so I followed him."

"Keep watching to see when he leaves the city, and follow him when he leaves the city."

Team Leader Huang was very depressed. The two targets were all agents, and they were definitely not the people they were looking for.

But Secretary Hao didn't say to stop the investigation, so they couldn't stop.

This needs to be investigated carefully. Could it be that he is also a bandit?

Which bandit den is so powerful and has so many agents?

In Shanghai, Chu Lingyun remade herself into Tomotaka Hosokawa.

He rented three houses in Shanghai in the image of Hosokawa Tomotaka, which could serve as his temporary residence.

Chu Lingyun prepared gifts and went to Tian Junliu's residence.

Tian Junroku is a powerful figure in the Japanese army. Such a person has a high status and he cannot neglect him.

"Nephew Jihyo, just be okay."

Hearing that Hosokawa Tomotaka was coming, Tian Shunliu immediately received him in person.

"Uncle Tian Jun, thank you for your concern. I'm fine."

Chu Lingyun smiled and said that this was the first time he met Tian Junliu. The gift he brought was very elegant, a samurai sword used by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tian Junliu believed in the spirit of Bushido very much, so such a gift was both suitable and affordable.

"It's okay. I met Mr. Hosokawa last time when I returned to China. We had a very pleasant conversation. Mr. Hosokawa told me in front of me that he didn't take good care of you since you were a child, and he very much hopes to make up for it. If you are okay, It’s better to return home as soon as possible.”

Tian Junliu looked at the gift carefully and really liked it, but when he looked back, his expression turned serious.

The reason why Chu Lingyun came to see Tian Junliu today was because he was worried about this.

Tian Junliu and Konoe Takemo are very close, they are natural allies.

Moreover, Tian Junliu is an elder and the highest commander in Central China. If he forcibly sends her back to the country, Chu Lingyun will have no ability to resist.

Before coming here, Chu Lingyun made several plans, and finally decided that he could convince Tian Junliu, and that's why today's meeting happened.

"Uncle Tian Jun, I am willing to return to China."

Chu Lingyun replied, and Tian Junliu nodded with satisfaction. He had accomplished what Marquis Hosokawa wanted to do, and at least he could get Marquis Hosokawa's thanks.

Tian Junliu's position is not low, but he also needs more friends.

"But if I return home now, I will be a failed samurai. After I return, I will commit seppuku immediately."

Chu Lingyun lowered his head and said, and the corners of Tian Jun's eyebrows jumped immediately.

"I want to make a career in China, and I don't want to go back like this. If I don't achieve anything, what can I do after I go back? I am a member of the Hosokawa family, and I cannot bring shame to the family."

Tian Junliu advocates the spirit of Bushido, and this statement can impress him.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Tian Junliu asked: "What do you want to do?"

"I established a Youzhai Literary Society."

"Literary club?"

Tian Junliu frowned again. Many people like to be arty, but in his eyes, these are all just playthings to lose one's ambition.

The warriors of the empire should charge into battle and open up new territories for the country.

"This is no ordinary literary club."

Chu Lingyun had specially investigated him and could guess what he was thinking.

"Tell me, why is it not ordinary?" Tian Junliu asked as expected.

"The members in the literary society are all warriors of the empire. I brought them together and let them help each other. With my help, many people have made progress. When the literary society grows in the future, they will all become opponents. A useful hero of the empire, devoting all his contributions to the empire."

Chu Lingyun took out the bag he carried with him and pulled out a document.

"Including myself, Uncle Tian Jun, I have not been idle in China these years. I have gone to many places, broadened my horizons, and have a detailed understanding of China. This is a partial map of China that I drew. Now I put it Leave it to you, I believe it will be helpful to you.”

"map?"

Tian Shunliu sat up straight, immediately took the document from Hosokawa Tomotaka's hand, opened it and looked at the contents of each document carefully.

It is indeed a map, and very detailed.

There are not only graphics from Wuhan, but also graphics from nearby Wuhan, as well as parts of Hui Province and Jiangsu Province.

"Did you draw all this yourself?"

Tian Junliu was very surprised, while Chu Lingyun nodded slightly: "Yes, wherever I have been, I will observe carefully and write down useful information."

"Yes, the painting is very good. It's rare that you have such a heart for the country."

Tian Junliu praised that this hand-drawn map is indeed detailed.

"As long as it works, then what I do is not useless." Chu Lingyun smiled.

"Of course, it's useful."

Tian Shunliu smiled and nodded. Tomohashi Hosokawa, a young man, still had such a heart and went to all the trouble to draw such a detailed map.

It kind of impressed him.

In fact, these maps have no effect on him. He already has the ones drawn by Chu Lingyun, and Tongwen Academy has drawn more and more detailed ones than him.

Little did he know that the map sent by Chu Lingyun was drawn through the instructions of the captured Tongwen Academy agent.

It was impossible for him to give the Japanese real maps. Handing over these things that the Japanese already had in their hands would have no impact.

It can also help him gain a good impression on Tian Junliu.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Please tell me carefully about the literary club."

Tian Junliu asked proactively. Chu Lingyun took a sip of water and told Tian Junliu in detail the origin of the literary club, his thoughts, and the ultimate purpose.

The literary society needs Tian Junliu's support. Even if it does not support it, it cannot veto it.

Otherwise, the literary club cannot continue to operate.

"General Matsumoto is the honorary president?"

Tian Junliu was a little surprised to hear that Matsumoto from the Military Police Headquarters also joined in.

Matsumoto is not of high rank, but he has great power and is the one he needs to win over.

"Yes, General Matsumoto has great support for literary societies."

Chu Lingyun nodded immediately. Tian Junliu thought for a moment and then said: "Your idea is good. If the people in your literary club can be twisted into a ball, it will indeed have a greater effect. Zhixiao, you are very smart and know that you cannot inherit Lord Hosokawa’s title will now begin to cultivate strength for yourself, and I believe Lord Hosokawa will support you.”

Tian Junliu was very smart. As soon as Chu Lingyun said it, he understood the true purpose of the literary society.

It is said to be a literary society, but in fact it is a middle-level group.

He is not disgusted with this. After all, this phenomenon is too common in Japan.

Even he himself is a person close to Konoe and also has their group.

"Thank you Uncle Tian Jun. Once I have achieved results, I can return to China with pride. I don't have to be like now, a child who relies on my father for protection."

Chu Lingyun's words made Tian Junliu laugh, but he could understand.

As an illegitimate son, he cannot inherit the title. If he does not work hard to create a world on his own, he will only become a vassal of the family in the future.

"What about you? Have you ever thought about finding a position for yourself and better development?"

Tian Junliu asked, and Chu Lingyun immediately replied: "Yes, my goal is to first enter the House of Representatives, then obtain a title on my own, and finally enter the House of Nobles."

"Haha, okay, not bad. He has great ambitions. Maybe your Hosokawa family will also have a prime minister in the future."

Tian Junliu laughed, as long as he has ambition and goals, children from noble families have always been like this.

"As for the position, I don't need it for the time being. I just need Youzhai Literary Society. Once I expand my influence, it will not be difficult to enter the House of Representatives."

The position is not important, and Chu Lingyun doesn't have that time.

The tiger skin of the Hosokawa family is stronger than any position.

"It is indeed possible to have influence, yes, I support you."

Tian Junliu nodded with a smile and did not mention the matter of sending him back to the country.

Tian Junliu was not born into a real noble. He also had an older brother, who was his idol.

He relied on himself to achieve his current status.

He is very supportive of Hosokawa Tomotaka's grand ideals.

Whether he can do it or not is one thing, but as long as he is willing to do it, there is hope.

"Thank you, Uncle Tian Jun. I have a little something to ask you for help this time."

Chu Lingyun took the opportunity to tell about Shimakura. Shimakura was a lieutenant colonel and was too far away from Tian Shunliu. He knew a little bit about the credit-stealing case investigated by General Matsumoto.

The newly promoted major general was not one of his men, and he could not stand the idea of ​​taking credit from his subordinates, so he left it to the Military Police Headquarters to handle.

"Since he was unjustly accused, there is no problem in joining the staff."

Tian Junliu agreed, it was just the staff department. Even though Shimakura was a lieutenant colonel, he was just as inconspicuous as he entered the big office of the staff department.

"Thank you again for your support. In addition, I would like to ask you to write a subtitle for my literary club. I will hang it up properly."

"There's no need for an inscription."

Tian Junliu was stunned for a moment. Although he refused, his expression was a bit eager to try.

It is not easy for ordinary people to get his inscriptions, and he is not someone who writes for others casually. But Hosokawa Tomotaka is different. He is the most beloved and most guilty son of Lord Hosokawa.

He knew this before when he was in China.

He was still willing to write an inscription for Hosokawa Tomotaka, and he could gain the favor of Marquis Hosokawa.

"Your inscription is an encouragement to me. I will use you as my idol to improve myself."

Chu Lingyun flattered him appropriately, and Tian Junliu smiled again.

"Okay then, I will inscribe this word for you."

Tian Junliu agreed, and immediately went to the study room, spread out his pen and ink, and wrote inscriptions for Youzhai Literary Society.

"Thank you so much. I will frame this picture and put it behind my office from now on."

After getting the inscription, Chu Lingyun was also very happy and chatted with Tian Junliu about other topics.

He has a complete memory and is not afraid of cheating at all.

After chatting for a long time, Chu Lingyun stood up and said goodbye. Tian Junliu personally sent him out, but only to the door of the living room. Hosokawa Tomotaka's identity was not enough to send him to the door.

Today he only talked about Shimakura and did not mention Naoki Ishii.

The status of the cleaning class is not that high now, and Tian Junliu does not need to greet him personally. With this inscription, he can help Ishii fulfill his wish.

…

In Wuhan, Team Leader Huang and his men failed to find the target in the end.

The good news is that they did not lose the other target and have already followed it outside the city.

Wolf Qi was very happy to have completed his mission. He was anxious to go back to report the news and left the city early in the morning.

He came to Wuhan City several times and finally completed his mission.

If they take down all these two hundred guns, their strength can be doubled. In this world, only having guns in their hands can give them a sense of security.

"Really a bandit?"

By noon, Team Leader Huang received the news that the person they were following was thirty miles outside the city and went up a mountain. According to their inquiries, that mountain was a bandit den, and a group of new bandits had just arrived recently.

"Yes, it must be."

The team members nodded, and Team Leader Huang was a little disappointed. Since he was a bandit, it didn't have much to do with their goal.

"Let's keep an eye on them first and find out the origins of this group of bandits."

Team Leader Huang is not very interested in bandits, but the mission is still there and he must find out the situation so that he can go back and explain.

"Team leader, Virgo is calling."

As soon as Chu Lingyun returned to his residence, Ni Loach came to his office with a telegram in his hand.

"The special training class has opened, do you want me to go back?"

Chu Lingyun was a little surprised. The special training class was in Hunan, and the director asked him to return to Wuhan first and then go to Hunan.

When the special training class opened this time, Virgo originally wanted to host it in person, but unfortunately he couldn't get away now and could only wait until later.

It happened that Chu Lingyun was also the deputy director of the special training class, so he asked Chu Lingyun to go there in his place.

"Virgin attaches great importance to this special training class and will definitely go there in the future."

Loach whispered, everyone in the Military Intelligence Department knows that Virgo imitates the old man, and this kind of place that trains newcomers never lets go.

In Hangzhou before and now in Hunan, Virgo has always insisted on being the director himself.

"Then go back."

Chu Lingyun had to listen to the Virgo's orders. It wasn't that there was no reason to refuse, but it was just not necessary.

I just happened to bring a few more people over to keep an eye on Chen Shu.

Chen Shu is not an honest person.

"Okay, I'll get ready."

Loach grinned, and Chu Lingyun glared at him: "What are you preparing for? You have to stay, and you have to watch the transformation of the literary club. I will take Chu Yuan there this time, so you don't have to go."

Taking Chu Yuan with him, Chu Lingyun had another purpose.

Chu Yuan has the most similar body shape to him, so Chu Yuan can be given the characteristics to imitate Toru Ishihara.

When it opens, Ishihara Hiroshi and Hosokawa Tomotaka will definitely appear. Chu Lingyun cannot be separated, so someone must replace one of them.

Chu Yuan is loyal to him and is the most suitable candidate.

Before the opening, Chu Lingyun only had to make it look like Ishihara Hiroshi was sick, force himself to participate even though he was sick, and then go back to rest immediately after it was over.

This will not arouse others' suspicion.

Because I'm sick, have a sore throat, and can't speak, I can have a reason to keep silent.

"The renovation of the literary club allows Chu Yuan to go there. Wouldn't it be better for me to go back with you?"

Loach became anxious upon hearing this, and Chu Lingyun shook his head again: "No, stay well, you still have to communicate with Shanghai Station."

Chu Lingyun refused again. Seeing the team leader's firm attitude, Ni Loach knew that he couldn't follow this time.

It's not that he wanted to go out to relax, but it was always right to follow the team leader. Even if the team leader went out, he might make meritorious deeds.

During the last inspection of various stations, Loach had made a lot of achievements, leaving Shen Hanwen and Chu Yuan behind. With the help of these achievements, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel early.

"Ishihara-kun."

Shimakura Toshiaki came to Ishihara Trading Company, and Chu Lingyun called him there.

After Shimakura entered the staff department, his position would become even more important in the future. The staff department would be able to obtain a lot of important information about Japanese military movements.

If this information can be known in advance, great losses can be avoided.

His role is higher than that of Ikegami.

It can be said that he is the most important one among the connections that Chu Lingyun managed with Ishihara Hiroshi.

"Shimakura-kun, sit down."

Chu Lingyun asked him to sit down, and then said: "Zhixiao visited General Tian Jun today and talked about you."

Shimakura's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

He had been cleared of his grievances, but his position had not changed. He had no connections himself. If he wanted a better position, he had to rely on Ishihara Hiroshi.

"General Tian Jun agrees, and you will join the staff soon."

Chu Lingyun continued, Shimakura Toshiaki's eyes widened and became a little moist.

After so many years, finally things turned around and I had another opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Ishihara. If I have any errands in the future, I will never hesitate to do so."

Shimakura stood up excitedly and bowed deeply to Chu Lingyun.

"Sit down, sit down and talk."

Chu Lingyun likes people with his temper the most. He is not as smooth and selfish as Shuicheng Jun.

If it were Shuicheng Jun, even if he said that, it would be impossible to do it.

But everyone has their merits. Nowadays, the literary society also needs a panacea like Shuicheng Jun. At least with him here, many trivial matters do not need to be handled by Chu Lingyun himself.

"It's not me, it's you from Jihyo's gang."

"I know, but without you, Master Hosokawa will not help me. The only person who is really willing to help me is you. I still had a distrustful attitude towards you at the beginning, which was so inappropriate."

Shimakura immediately replied that he had never met Hosokawa Tomotaka until now, and he knew very well that he could not help him in vain.

Ishihara Hiroshi persuaded Hosokawa Tomotaka, and he became what he is today.

"I'm very happy that you can understand this. If you work hard in the future, we will have a chance even if you become a general in the future."

Chu Lingyun's words made Shimakura's heart beat faster. Is this a disguised promise to help him be promoted to general in the future?
