Sake and sesame nori were put on the table.

"Young man, there is no abalone and sea urchin ramen tonight because I didn't prepare the ingredients." Uesugoshi put the noodles into the soup pot, "Remember to make a reservation in advance next time, and don't bring Anger with you. If it weren't for you, I would have already

Once the stall is closed, this old bastard will no longer be seen."

"Here's to our revolutionary friendship that has lasted for more than sixty years." Angers raised his glass.

"Fucking revolutionary friendship is a bad fate!" Master Yue said angrily, "If I had a choice, I would definitely choose not to know you, so that no one would disturb my life."

"That's so rude." Ange sighed, "Look at you, and then look at Ahe. Ahe is just a family owner, but he sent someone to pick me up at the airport, brought dozens of bodyguards, and drove a whole fleet of cars.

Mercedes-Benz has blocked the entry and exit halls."

"The reception was held at the most luxurious club in Shibuya. Dozens of girls covered in gold powder danced for me, and various idol girls poured me wine and lit cigarettes."

"And you, the underworld emperor, are unwilling to treat me to a bowl of ramen."

"It's the former underworld emperor." Uesugi frowned and said, "It was that guy Aga who told you my location, right?"

"Aga booked the place to greet me, why did you have to do it the other way around? How about, I can book your ramen stall and buy you ramen for a whole month." Ange shrugged, "Brother is rich."

"I know that you often book a room in Paris and buy drinks for everyone that night, and the bar girls are vying to sit on your lap, but there is no rule of booking a room here. Rich and wealthy guests like you will always leave when they come," Uesugoshi said

Dandan said, "And for the past 70 years, I have only relied on students to patronize my ramen noodles."

"You asked for it. You have a street worth $1.2 billion waiting to be developed, but you would rather go to the grave with it. Who will inherit this street when you die? You have

Heir?" Angers raised his eyebrows.

"I am really poor. I don't have much money in my bank account. I have to rely on the income from selling ramen to support myself every month. The only valuable thing I have is this piece of land, but after selling it

It will be developed into skyscrapers, these old houses will be demolished, and the old trees will be moved away. There will be no place for old people like me to live."

Master Yue wiped the table and said calmly,

"Old guys like us, where can we go after losing our former habitat? There is no place for us in the new world. Angers, not everyone can live as freely as you."

"Are you free and easy?" Angers scratched his head, "Let's take it as your compliment."

"It's just a compliment." Master Yue sighed, "When I see you appearing in front of me like you did back then, I feel like time is going backwards. How long have you, old guy, lived? Why won't you die?"

"I will not die before I realize my dream." Ange said with a smile.

"But I don't have such a great dream as yours, so you can't let me go?" Master Yue said with a bitter smile.

Angers lifted up the cloth cover and looked out of the van. This was a small street behind the University of Tokyo. Thanks to a certain master Yue, this street had never been developed and retained its appearance decades ago.

There are old wooden houses on both sides of the street, and there is a hint of dilapidation in the quietness. But if you walk a few dozen steps outside, you will see brightly lit high-rise buildings, Japan's city that never sleeps.

The changes in the world over the past few decades have been earth-shaking. High-rise buildings have been erected one after another like bamboo joints. Human beings have challenged the limits of building height again and again.

Whenever I see those towering buildings and countless novelty gadgets, Angers always feels like a tombstone from the old era.

"Let me tell you a story." Master Yue pushed two bowls of ramen in front of Lu Mingfei, "Two bowls of soy milk ramen. Thank you for your patronage. Eat it quickly! Young man, can you accompany you to this roadside stall to eat noodles?

Girl, you must cherish it!"

"What story?" Angers asked.

Master Yue brought over two more bottles of sake and an empty small cup.

"I also heard from a guest. He is a foreign scholar who came to Japan to investigate the local customs. Before coming to Japan, he heard that Japanese hot springs are for men and women to bathe together. He really wanted to be with a beautiful girl in the hot springs.

Being naked, drinking wine and eating hot spring eggs, this will be such an unforgettable memory."

Master Yue poured a glass of sake and drank it slowly.

The vice-principal said with great interest: "You actually still retain this bad habit? Are men and women bathing together in Tokyo?"

Master Yue narrowed his eyes: "The scholar also asked the professor who received him the same way. The professor said, alas, I only heard my fathers talk about the common bathing between men and women in the past. It no longer exists in Tokyo, but I heard

It is said that there are others in Hokkaido. I have a friend who is a writer living in seclusion in Hokkaido. We went to find him. So they went to Hokkaido, but after the writer heard their intention, he regretfully said that you were late and I didn’t even have it.

Have you ever bathed in hot springs like this? They are probably only found in extremely cold mountains now, right? In this case, I will take you to the mountains to ask. Then they hiked into the snow-capped mountains and rested in the home of a mountain man at night. They went out to visit

The writer came back at midnight and shouted, "There is plenty! There are hot springs for communal bathing here! But the women bathing there are all old ladies!"

Several people present were smiling.

This is not so much a story as a joke derived from Japanese customs?

But Master Yue didn't laugh. He poured another glass of wine and continued, "At this time, the visiting scholars and professors quickly put on their clothes and walked out of the door impatiently, shouting that we should leave as soon as possible!"

The vice-principal took a breath of the cold wind and shuddered: "Which country's scholars have such strong tastes? They can't be from the UK, right?"

Angers glared at him angrily.

He was born in England and is British-American.

Master Yue spread his hands and imitated the scholar's tone and said: "Because if we wait any longer, those old ladies who were once young girls will become even older. When they pass away, there will no longer be a bathing partner in Japan."

The hot springs.”

This time even the vice principal fell silent.

The old guys understood the joke without exception.

This joke may be just a joke to young people. After hearing it, everyone laughed and then forgot about it.

But for old guys like them who have lived for too long, there is such a heavy sadness.

This sadness comes from time, called "years", and it is so heavy that people cannot resist it.

"If young people know that the Shadow Emperor of the Jakikihachi family is giving them ramen, will they ask you for an autograph as a souvenir, or will they be so frightened that they kneel on the ground to apologize?" Anger suddenly asked.

"The former Shadow Emperor was just a ramen chef now. They paid me and I ramened for them. They don't need to apologize."

Lu Mingfei's expression gradually became strange.

The previous generation emperor of the eight Sheqi families?

Cheap uncle's ancestors?

He suddenly understood why Lu Mingze strongly recommended him to eat noodles at this roadside ramen restaurant.

"Ange, I am also an old guy." Master Yue said softly, "The new era has no place for old guys like me. I should die here quietly."

"I have been retired for more than sixty years and have been waiting for death. Why are you still hanging on to me?"

"The new world doesn't need people like you?" Angers asked.

"Yes, the new world does not need monsters like me." Master Yue said firmly.

"But the problem is, your successor has appeared again." Angers said softly.

The boss' hand holding the wine glass suddenly stopped and trembled slightly.

"You heard that right, the eight Sheqi families clenched into a fist just like they did when they found you before World War II. What do you think gave them the confidence?"

"Green Gourd Sword Fairy"

Ange put down his wine glass and said calmly, "The previous headmaster's name was Ju Zhengzong. The person was changed just a few days ago. The current headmaster's name is Yuan Zhisheng. Do you know these two people?"

"You are not mistaken, I came to you this time not only to reminisce between old friends, but also to start a war." Ange stared at Uesugoshi's eyes and said word by word, "If the Sheqi Eight Families insist on having their own way,

Then I can only finish what I didn't finish back then, and clean up the eight Sheqi families!"

"Impossible!" Uesugoshi whispered.

"You think I can't do it?" Angers sneered.

"It's impossible for a new Shadow King to appear!" Master Yue roared, "The three inner families are already dead!"

"What did you say?" Angers was surprised.

"The proof of the Shadow Emperor is blood. Since ancient times, only the Three Nei families can give birth to the Shadow Emperor. But the Three Nei families have died, and I am the last person from the Three Nei families!" Master Yue raised his finger and pointed at himself and said, "I am the last emperor.

.Do you think there will be a new super hybrid in Sheqiba's family? No chance, the super hybrid will be over with me."

Angre frowned. He glanced at the girl next to Lu Mingfei and thought, isn't there a mafia princess from the Uesugi family?

Speaking of which, both of you are named Uesugi, so I'm afraid you are somewhat related.

The girl with dark red hair sat quietly next to the carriage. She scooped up the snow-white and rich soup with a wooden spoon, rolled up the slender ramen noodles with a taiko, and carefully put it into her mouth.

She was eating so seriously, as if everyone's conversation had nothing to do with her.

Lu Mingfei was beside her helping her peel garlic.

These two little guys seemed to have their own barrier, blocking the conversations of the old guys. They seemed to really be here to eat ramen.

"Are you saying that Tachibana Masamune and Minamoto Chisei are not really descendants of the three families?"

"They can find a few children from the outer five families to adopt to the inner three families, and change their surnames to Minamoto, Tachibana, or Uesugi, but that is fake. The real inner three families are the family that inherits the royal blood. People with the outer surnames cannot change no matter how hard they try.

Become an emperor."

"What exactly is an emperor?"

"It's a monster that shouldn't exist in this world." Uesugoshi said in a low voice.

"Be clear. If you don't make it clear, we will continue to come and eat and drink for free tomorrow." The vice-principal said with a leisurely expression.

This guy brought his own packed side dishes, and now he was drinking sake with a certain priest.
