Chapter 083: Embarkation
The lunch was indeed very rich. Xia Kejun sat aside and kept picking up food for Mu Yang. She watched Mu Yang finish the dishes he picked up with a satisfied smile on her face.
"Okay, OK, don't pick it up anymore. I've eaten a lot, so do you eat too?" Mu Yang said.
Xia Kejun smiled and said, "I like to watch Brother Mu eat."
"Will we eat together?"
"Yes," Xia Kejun nodded, then she started to eat, and her eyes looked at Mu Yang from time to time.
In the afternoon, when Mu Yang left, Xia Kejun stood outside the gate, watching Mu Yang's figure disappear at the entrance of the alley, and then reluctantly returned to the room.
The muffled shell gun with a mottled surface and not beautiful surface was slowly wiped with a white hand towel, "Brother Mu, if someone wants to bully Kejun, Kejun will resist directly. If there is a crisis, I will leave myself a bullet."
Muyang left the French Concession and walked around the Bund before returning to the International Hotel.
Just as Mu Yang was about to open the door, the door of the room on the other side was opened, and Seiichiro Kikuda walked out of it.
"His Excellency Kurita, I need to report to you."
"Okay, come in with me." Mu Yang could also guess what he wanted to say.
When he walked into the room, Mu Yang asked, "Staff Officer Jutian, please tell me if you have anything to do."
"Your Excellency, in the early morning of tomorrow, the Kikunomaru, who came from Southeast Asia, will arrive at the Shanghai Pier. It is expected to leave Shanghai at noon tomorrow and return to Tokyo directly. Chief of Staff Tsukada asked me to ask you if you want to take this boat to Japan." Seiichiro Kikuda asked respectfully.
"Yes, it's time to leave. Shanghai is really not peaceful now. Even the empire's general, Takataro Nakamura, has fallen here. I really don't know how the imperial army manages this place. It's really disappointing." Mu Yang said in a helpless tone.
Seiichiro Kikuda lowered his head when Mu Yang said that he was also a member of the Shanghai Army Department. Although it was not his responsibility, Kikuda felt a dull face when Mu Yang said this.
"Okay, I understand. Come and pick me up tomorrow. By the way, will General Efujima also take this boat back to Tokyo?" Mu Yang wanted to confirm the situation of the antiques again.
"Yes, Staff Eto will escort a batch of supplies to Tokyo, so they will take this boat back." Kikuda replied.
Mu Yang nodded and said nothing. Jutian said goodbye and left very sensible.
When I walked to the window, I looked at the street view outside the window, and the sunset was shining with golden colors. But in this era, how many people would enjoy these scenery with peace of mind.
At 10 a.m. the next day, Staff Jutian knocked on Muyang's door again. Muyang took out a suitcase and got into the car driven by Jutian. To be honest, this was the first time Muyang took a car in this era, which was really embarrassing.
"Your Excellency, don't you need to transport the things you purchased back?" Kikuta asked in the car.
Mu Yang looked at this careful and erratic Staff Kikuta and said indifferently: "I have asked Eto-kun to transport it to the ship, and you don't need your attention."
"Yes, I understand." Kikuta replied.
Kikuta guessed in his heart that the things that needed to be transported were not only those purchased tea, silk and other items, but also the items for the mission of Lord Kurita this time. It seemed that he was talking too much. Kikuta blamed himself secretly and stopped talking.
The car soon arrived at the dock. Muyang saw a large ship parked by the dock, and many passengers were boarding the ship one after another. Muyang did not see any loading and unloading supplies. It is estimated that the Japanese had loaded the batch of supplies overnight. After all, this behavior of plundering other countries' treasures is not easy to be made public. In this regard, the Japanese are still very secretive.
Jutian carried Mu Yang's suitcase and took him to the room on the boat. Mu Yang looked at this room, a standard double room, a soft bed, and a small bathroom. Such standards naturally cannot be compared with the rooms in an international hotel, but they are already considered the standard room of this cruise ship.
"Hisser Kirita, if nothing happens, I will say goodbye. I wish you a smooth journey." Seiichiro Kikuda bowed and said.
"I want to ask, which room is Etokun in? You also know that the journey is boring. I want to chat with him if it's okay." Mu Yang said.
"Your Excellency, I don't know the room number of Staff Eto, and I guess he is busy now. But before coming, he once said that he knew the room number of Lord Kurita. After the ship starts, he will come to visit you." Kikuta said.
Mu Yang nodded, "That's good. Then we can have another drink on the boat and chat. OK, Jutianjun, thank you for your hard work."
"Your Excellency Kurita, don't be polite. It is my honor to serve the royal family. This is what I should do, so I will say goodbye." After that, Kikuta bowed again, left and left.
In the afternoon, the cruise ship slowly left the Shanghai Wharf after a loud whistle. Many people on the Wharf were waving goodbye. Mu Yang was standing on the deck at this time and also picked up his hat and waved it. He had no relatives to see him off, but he still waved his hat as if he was saying goodbye to the city.
At dinner time, the door was knocked. Mu Yang opened the door and found Etudeshima standing outside the door with a smile.
"Mr. Jiang Teng, please come in." Mu Yang smiled warmly.
Efujishima bowed slightly and said, "Your Excellency Kurita, I'm really rude to come here to visit now. The main reason is that there are a lot of supplies that need to be counted and sorted out, so it took some time."
"We are all busy with the affairs of the empire, thank you for your hard work."
"I dare not let Your Excellency Ritsuta praise you. By the way, it's already dinner time. Your Excellency Ritsuta hasn't had dinner yet. How about we go to the restaurant to eat something?" Efujima said.
"Okay, I'm so hungry. I forgot the time I read the book just now."
The two of them came to the restaurant. There were no big or many people, and basically all senior Japanese officers were dining here. As soon as they sat down, a colonel came over and Eto quickly stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Eto, long time no see." The colonel was about 40 years old and was about 180 cm tall. Such a figure was already tall among Japanese people. His facial features were well-known and he had a fierce look. It seemed that he had seen life and death.
"Mr. Ishida, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. We haven't seen each other in about 10 years." Efujima said.
"Don't call me Mr. Ishida, just call me Senior Ishida. No matter how you say we are classmates, we are also classmates." Ishida said cheerfully.
"Okay, Senior Ishida, I haven't had a meal yet, how about you with us?" Eto suggested.
"Okay, I'm just about to have a good chat with you." He said that, and sat directly next to Efujima.
Efujima looked at Mu Yang, suddenly woke up, and then quickly said, "Senior Ishida, let me introduce you to you. This is Master Akito Kurita, the headquarters of the Imperial Army."
"His Excellency Kurita, this is my senior in the Army School, Colonel Takeo Ishida, who has served in the Malayan Army."
Mu Yang kept watching the two of them talking coldly. Seeing that Efujishima introduced himself to this guy named Ishida, he nodded naturally.
