What the hell?

　　 Huaishi suspected that she was deaf, so she plucked her ears for a long time, and asked seriously: "General?"

　　 "Yes." Shengtian nodded.

　　 Huai Shi was unbelievable, and asked again: "Just that... that American?"

"Correct."

　　 Shengtian nodded and pointed to his car: "Let's go first, and talk about the rest of the road."

When the driver got out of the car, he gave the car key to Huaishi. Huaishi slipped the car key into his trouser pocket. Shengtianmu's footsteps stopped for a while, and his eyelids jumped wildly: "I told you to drive, not let you take the car! I gave you a Bentley just the second time, so are you looking at my new car?"

　　 "This is not used to it, are you used to it?"

　　 Huai Shi smiled awkwardly, and took out the car key.

　　 Sheng Tianmu stood in front of the car door, but waited for a long time, but did not wait for Huai Shi to open the door for him. Not only did he not open the door, but he stood behind and looked at him stupidly: "Hey, why don't you get in the car?"

　　 "Mr. Huaizhi..." Shengtianmu sighed.

"Ok?"

　　 Recalling the stupid idiom in the past, "I turn the table when the leader picks up vegetables, and I brake when the leader drinks water," Shengtianmu said with earnest emotion: "It is a blessing for Yingzhou that you did not become a civil servant."

　　 ignored his dazed look, Shengtian shook his head and opened the car door and sat in.

　　Don't say it, I haven't opened the door by myself for so many years, it's quite novel.

　　 "By the way, where are we going?"

　　 Huai Shi held the phone and pressed for a long time, and found that the address could not be found: "I can't find the navigation."

　　 "A ghost can only be found if you can find it."

　　 Sheng Tianmu said: "You only need to leave Kyoto from the south. I will show you how to drive on the way."

　　 "You can't go the wrong way, right?"

　　 "There is only one way, Huai Shi, there is no other choice." Sheng Tianmu closed his eyes and sighed weakly: "As long as you can get through, you won't go wrong..."

　　 just like Shengtianmu said.

　　 After leaving the city, Huai Shi found that Sheng Tianmu was right. After walking out of the city for a while, there was only one road left in front of her. There were no vehicles even on the road, only Huai Shi was moving forward alone.

　　 There is no checkpoint or any censorship, but he feels that he has been caught by countless eyes.

The roadsides on both sides of 　　 have deliberately created all the unexpected gardens and landscapes Huai Shi could have imagined, as if it had already been opened into the garden in front of the General's Court.

　　In the early morning, the gardeners began to work hard, pruning flowers, and respectfully presenting their life skills, maintaining the most perfect appearance of the work, and dare not have any flaws.

　　 Even the general didn't bother to take a look.

　　 The inexplicable pressure on Huai Shi's body made him a little nervous involuntarily. He straightened his body and drove in front, and finally asked, "Why do you want to see the general?"

　　 Sheng Tianmu still didn't open his eyes, but instead asked: "At this time, besides the general, are there anyone else who would like to take a look at us?"

　　 "……"

　　 Huaishi's hands holding the steering wheel stiffened, and finally felt the pressure he was facing these days after his tired face.

　　 The existence of Zongwu Ling is like a huge burden, and for the inner circle of Tanba, it is undoubtedly a sudden disaster.

　　 The consumption tax reform case is unresolved in the struggle between political parties. There are constant disturbances. It sounds like the tax point change is an understatement, but in fact the impact behind it has spread to the entire Yingzhou and even Southeast Asia...

Behind this is the contradiction and friction between the emerging capital controlled by the military family and the ancient chaebols behind the public. Once the Order of Nothing is officially issued, then in the secret game of all parties and the bottomless fight, the Danbo inner circle Existence will be as fragile as weed duckweed.

　　 Internal and external troubles.

　　 It is also under this huge pressure that the alliance will allow the Huaizhi group to rise like a rocket. Unite all forces and preserve yourself.

　　 does not seek to win the final victory, only hopes to survive the storm.

　　 Dongxia’s gangs can close their doors and stay away. But hybrids have no choice. If they don't seek blessing, they will only end up at the mercy of others.

　　 Even if he dies, the corpse will become the source of all evils used to carry the pot on the top of the pot and bear the sin.

　　 "If anyone can lend a helping hand at this time and pull us, only the general will be the only one."

　　Sheng Tianmu whispered: "For a long time, the inner circle of Tanba has been able to exist, and it has also relied on the acquiescence of the adult. I only hope that the general can show mercy.

　　 "Does he care?" Huai Shi puzzled.

　　 "Who knows, it depends on whether people can look down on our guy or not."

　　 Sheng Tianmu rubbed his old face and sighed silently: "For this meeting, I have exhausted all the love I have accumulated before and brought all the treasures collected by the alliance...If we fail, we will have no choice."

　　 Huai Shi asked: "What do I need to do?"

　　 "You don't need to do anything, you can't represent the alliance. Today's character is just a driver. Don't talk, don't make unnecessary actions, don't care about any humiliation from other people, if they still look at us with their straight eyes."

　　 Sheng Tianmu said: "You just need to avoid accidents and make sure that I can see the general alive."

　　 Along the way, Shengtianmu seemed to close his eyes and rest up his mind, but in fact, the body under the robe has been tight, vigilant and guarded. Huai Shi always felt that he was too sensitive, but he could understand the feeling of not wanting all accidents to happen when a glimmer of hope was ahead.

　　 The wind is calm.

　　 There was no attack and no accident.

　　 Under the **** of Huai Shi, they already felt outside the general's mansion before seven o'clock in the morning.

　　 Some receptionists waited until the door, and then led them into the lounge and served them refreshments.

　　 "Your Excellency General thought too much last night and only went to bed a few hours ago. The time to meet with you may be postponed a little bit. Please give your Tianmu your peace and rest assured and wait at ease."

　　 After saying this, the host respectfully retreated and closed the door for them.

　　 As time passed, hurried footsteps continued to sound outside the door, but no one ever pushed in. Instead, they passed through the door coldly and headed in other directions.

　　 In the beginning, Shengtianmu would hold up his body every time and make a respectful look. But when he got to the back, his expression gradually dimmed.

　　 Huai Shi once suspected that this was a trick to stray into the White Tiger Festival Hall, but she carefully scanned the surroundings, and after going to the toilet four or five times under the pretext, she found that...this is just an ordinary lounge.

　　 The entire mansion was busy, and the attendants ran around in an orderly manner to carry out daily cleaning and work.

　　 There are sometimes solemn samurai and respectful officials coming and going.

　　 Except for the servants who occasionally add tea and pour water today, no one seems to care about these two pieces of dust that do not belong here.

　　 If it weren't for the birth of Tianmu to speak first, Huai Shi couldn't help but urged, even if the urge would not be useful.

　　 In desperation, I can only wait with peace of mind.

　　 This is a whole day...

　　.

　　.

　　 At noon, the inner circle of Tanba and the wharf area are busy.

　　 This is probably the most frequent place of communication with other regions in the Tanba circle. One of Kyoto’s five ports is located in this place.

　　 Although limited by the construction of berths and unable to dock large ships, due to the geographical location and the fishing flood, a large number of fishing boats are attracted to dock.

　　Especially the summer and autumn seasons are the busiest times.

The fishing boats that have just returned to the port are busy unloading, and the wholesalers from various fresh markets are already ready. The seawater and fish scales on the ground are frequently coming in and out of the trucks, and in the pungent smell, many restaurants Buyers are also waiting for shipments from familiar merchants.

With the smell of the sea, the fisherman Takahashi, who had just been on the ground for less than an hour, wiped the sweat from his head. He awkwardly completed the calculation of the accounts. After confirming the correctness, he looked around and found that no one was there. , Shouted in the noisy market: "Sakamoto! Sakamoto! Where is the dead, come and move the goods!!"

　　 On the fishing boat behind him, there was a crisp response, but it was not the hoarse response of the middle-aged man, but the loud voice of the girl.

　　 "It's coming, please wait a moment!"

　　 Stacked in one place, four or five meters high boxes seemed to have long legs, and they staggered off the boat pedals. The dull sound of water reverberated inside, making the purchaser beside Takahashi change his face and couldn't help taking a step back.

　　 That is a water tank filled with seawater and seafood. Once it falls down, I am afraid I will lose my life...

　　 What is even more exaggerated is that this huge living thing that needs to be carried by a forklift turned out to come to him next step with the support of one hand.

　　 Finally, with a bang, it was placed on the ground.

　　 squeezed out a tender and nice face from behind, with a delicate ghost horn, smiled embarrassingly at Takahashi: "Mr. Sakamoto said he went to the bathroom, let me help."

　　 The purchaser took a breath, doubting his eyes.

　　 Is this really a human?

　　 And Takahashi’s always hard-to-see clear expression became more and more gloomy: "Go to the bathroom? I think it's a prostitute! Maki don't be fooled by that guy again."

　　 "It won't get in the way, I'm strong anyway."

　　 The girl called Maki laughed.

　　 Takahashi retracted his gaze and looked at the buyer: "I made you laugh, Mr. Ushishima...All the items you ordered are here, please count them."

　　 "It doesn't matter, we can trust the person recommended by Ms. Omi."

　　 The young man with dyed blond hair smiled politely. After checking out, he made a polite sentence and immediately turned around and directed the porter to load the truck.

　　 From beginning to end, Maki looked at the side curiously. These strange people seem to have tattoos on their bodies more or less, unsmiling, but crisp and neat, and there is no bargaining.

　　 You don’t even need to keep accounts, but pay in cash.

　　Many fishermen have pushed back orders from other places, gave them priority, and offered generous discounts on their own initiative...

　　 "Are there going to be a big mall again nearby?"

　　 Maki blinked, looking forward to it: "I can go shopping next time!"

　　 "Huh, it's all hypocrisy."

　　 Behind her, the young man on the side of the boat who was scraping fish scales snorted coldly, and cursed in a low voice: "Those guys in the paper team don't know what they are doing..."

　　 There was a huge birthmark on his face, and his keratinized skin turned up like scales. When he talked about that word, his expression was extremely disgusting.

　　 Maki froze for a while, then froze again, and turned around, feeling as if she had misheard, and didn't react.

　　 "Toshio, you just said it was... the paper group?"

"Huh? Sister Maki, don't you know this?" Junxiong sipped into the sea, and said contemptuously: "It's the new villain leader in the city, who is pregnant with papers, huh, in order to do business for yourself, take Tanba in the circle. The supply of water and vegetables are all monopolized, and I want to eat alone."

　　 "Huh?" Maki was at a loss, "Paper-friendly...people?"

　　 "Yes, the name is strange, isn't it?" Junxiong snorted coldly, "It is said that he is also very nasty. Last time I saw him **** in the street, so shameless."

　　 Maki feels that she can't turn her mind around, and feels that there is something wrong: "Uh, that's also... not necessarily a bad person?"

　　 Toshio's movements paused, his eyes drooping, it was difficult to conceal his hatred.

　　 "Big Brother Liudou was killed by him. Aunt Uchiyama is such a good person, now crying every day... He also pretends to let people come to give money, as if someone is scared of his stinky money!"

　　 Toshio's movements paused, his hand holding the knife was so hard that he turned white.

　　 He lowered his head, squeezing a hoarse voice from between his teeth:

　　 "Sooner or later, I will kill him..."

　　 Amid the low footsteps, a burly black figure appeared behind him. He was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned his head, he saw Takahashi's indifferent expression.

"Boy, I warned you for the last time: I don't care about your business. After you get off the boat, where you like to go, but if you talk about this kind of punk on my boat in the future, I will kick you from here. Go down, understand?"

　　 Toshio's movements paused, and he nodded unwillingly, bowed his head and continued to scrape.

　　 After a long time, Takahashi turned and left.

　　 lunch is seafood rice bowl, unlimited roe and salmon, working on a fishing boat is good, Maki ate half of the pot again.

　　 After eating, Takahashi called Maki into the cabin, then opened the safe inside, took out a wad of thin paper money from it, and handed it to her.

　　 "Four hundred thousand, this is your salary."

　　 "Yeah! Thank you Mr. Takahashi!"

　　 Maki lifted up the banknotes in her hand like a treasure, dancing with excitement: "This way, we can repay a lot of debts. When will we leave next time?"

　　 "At least four or five days later." Takahashi shook his head, glanced at Maki, and stopped talking.

　　 "Huh? What's the matter?" Really wondered.

　　 "...Keep an eye on it." Takahashi muttered, "I don't know why you are in such a hurry to spend money, but after you go ashore, be careful of those who talk bluff. The inner circle of Tanba is no more sinister than other places."

　　 He didn't even know how such a silly mixed girl grew up.

　　 She came to look for a job a week ago. If it weren't for her strength and ability to do four or five people's work, and as long as the ordinary salary, Takahashi would not use her.

　　 was already prepared to cry for a few days, but unexpectedly, she did so much work in a week, and she didn't even complain about it.

　　 was too silly.

　　 Had it not been for Takahashi's strict view, I would have been cheated of all the money by the lazy people on the boat.

　　 "Huh?" Really puzzled: "I think everyone is pretty good, and it doesn't taste like bad people."

　　 Are you a dog?

　　 Takahashi rolled his eyes and pointed to the hatch to let her go quickly, too lazy to bother.

　　 But before leaving, he stopped her again, with a serious expression: "Junxiong's words, don't tell them outside...that's just the silly things of the Maotou boy who don't know the height of the sky, you know?"

　　 Maki nodded blankly, seemingly understanding.

　　 A silly look made Takahashi even more annoyed.

　　 So mindless, don't be fooled into somewhere as soon as you get ashore, think about the consequences of the time...

　　 "Hey, Maki!"

　　 He chuckled, got up and chased it out, and asked, "Did you find a place to work afterwards?"

　　 "Huh?" Maki looked back.

"me……"

　　 Takahashi hesitated, and finally sighed, "Didn't you say that you used to fight in the kitchen? I have a familiar restaurant, and I am currently hiring..."

　　 "Eh! Oh! Okay!" Maki's eyes widened in excitement, and rushed over, holding his callused hands, "Please introduce them to me!"

　　 There was a crisp sound.

　　 Takahashi's face turned green.

　　 "Maki, you..."

　　 "Huh? Mr. Takahashi, why are you crying?"

　　 "You let go first, my wrist is dislocated..."

　　.

　　.

　　 "Oh, thankfully it's okay, Mr. Takahashi, sorry..."

　　 Holding the address and business card that Takahashi gave him in his hand, Maki still looked back in the direction of the port uncomfortably after disembarking, sighing in distress, "I seem to have screwed it up again."

　　 "Sister Maki, you have to be careful."

　　 Toshio next to her snorted: "That kind of middle-aged single old man, maybe he is unscrupulous. You look so good-looking, in case he is lustful one day, what will he do to you..."

　　 "Okay, okay, don't say that, Uncle Takahashi also has his own difficulties." Maki smiled and rubbed his hair: "Where are you going next?"

　　 "I... don't know." Toshio's face was lonely: "After the eldest brother is gone, Aunt Uchiyama has been very sad for these two days, I don't want to disturb her anymore."

　　 "This is when you need someone to comfort you, what are you thinking about? Family is very important!"

　　 Maki squeezed his head hard, and didn't let go until Toshio cried out repeatedly: "Okay, don't spend the money, buy a gift for Aunt Uchiyama, she must miss you too."

"Ok……"

　　 "What's the matter? Don't be sad." Maki thought for a while and suggested: "How about I invite you to eat ramen? There is no limit."

　　 "Cut, it's not a comic, anyone besides the uncle would like that kind of thing."

　　 "Eh! Ramen is very good, cheap, high in calories, and it can make you full. Sometimes you can add noodles for free..."

　　 Zhen Xixu said in a whisper: "Anyway, when you grow up, you have to eat more, and you have to leave."

　　 has been dragging Toshio to eat ramen, and then supervising him to buy a present for Aunt Uchiyama, Maki still feels uneasy, and very resolutely sent Toshio to the place.

　　 "It's so late, you don't need to send it."

　　 The more he got to the place, the more Toshio resisted and he dared not enter the door. Maki rolled up her sleeves neatly and punched the wall next to her.

　　 "I'm very strong, don't worry."

With a beep, there was a big hole in the wall.

　　 Even Junxiong who knew her strange power suddenly widened his eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ The people who poked their heads out in the dark alley swallowed and spit, and then locked back into the darkness.

　　 "Okay, hurry up, Aunt Uchiyama must be waiting for you."

　　 She patted Toshio and pushed him to the ruined door.

　　 Toshio took a deep breath, plucked up his courage, knocked on the door, no one responded, and knocked again, but no one paid any attention.

　　 In the silence, the two looked at each other, and a bad premonition emerged in their hearts, but soon the door opened.

　　 did not have the sorrow and loneliness as expected. There was a warm and harmonious atmosphere in the family. The old man on crutches sent a middle-aged woman with a smile to the door. After seeing the two, it was immediately unbelievable.

　　 "Junxiong, are you finally back?" The old man hugged the child in front of him in surprise: "I also brought my friends, please come in, please come in quickly."

　　 "Is this Toshio?" The middle-aged woman laughed: "Sure enough, she is as young and cute as Ms. Uchiyama said."

　　 "Auntie, who is she?" Junxiong looked at the woman with caution.

　　 "It's rude." The old man patted his head: "Don't be rude, this Miss Sonoda has been coming to comfort me and help me these days."

　　 "Where and where, we are both members of the mutual aid association, and they just did their own thing."

　　 Ms. Sonoda waved her hand with a smile: "I'm leaving first... If you two have time, you can also come to the mutual aid association to participate in activities. Together, we can help each other to overcome difficulties."

　　 After a few more polite words, she turned and left.

　　 Maki stood there in confusion, looking at the direction she was leaving.

　　 That big sister, she has a strange smell...
