Spy Shadow

Chapter 512 Yuan Chu shakes hands

Jun Shuicheng is very low-key in front of Ishihara Hiroshi, but when facing other people, he looks aloof.

He found a Japanese publishing house and the president personally met with him.

After Shuicheng Jun came up with enough money, the publisher immediately agreed to publish these two books immediately. The task was completed, and Shuicheng Jun went to check the bookstore without stopping.

Especially bookstores near literary societies must be thoroughly investigated.

Ishihara Hiroshi has strict requirements. All bookstores must carry their books, and enough people must be found to snap up these books.

These two Japanese books are definitely not suitable for Chinese people. They can’t even understand Japanese. It’s too fake for them to grab such books.

Those who grab books must be Japanese.

Fortunately, there are many Japanese ronin in Shanghai now, and it is not difficult to find such people.

If that doesn't work, he can ask students from the school to pretend to be book buyers.

Shun Shui Cheng admired Ishihara Toru very much, and even thought of such a trick as snatching books to please Hosokawa Tomotaka and General Matsumoto.

He had to admit that this move was very unique and even more wonderful.

I don’t know how Ishihara Hiroshi’s brain was able to come up with such a good idea.

They were a literary club. When the literary club was established, the two presidents’ new books were released simultaneously.

Coupled with the rush to buy, the two presidents will definitely be happy, and their recognition of the literary society will also increase.

Jun Shuicheng took this matter very seriously and personally recruited all the actors he needed.

They were even asked to read the contents of the book in advance. If the two presidents took the initiative to ask, they would at least be able to tell the contents of the book so as not to cheat.

Three days later, Shanghai Station.

Wang Jialiang, Yao Jiancai stood in the office with his head lowered, while Wang Yuemin's face was ashen.

Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen helped Shanghai Station execute five traitors. After the two returned, Wang Yuemin handed over the remaining five people to Wang Jialiang and the others.

Yesterday's action was to impose sanctions on two people at the same time, but only one was killed.

It was good to kill one of them, but it was a pity that they lost five of their men. One of the five-man team failed to kill the target and was ambushed by the Japanese. Now his life or death is unknown.

It would be fine if they all died in battle, but if he were caught surrendering and becoming a traitor, he would definitely be scolded by his superiors.

"waste."

Wang Yuemin cursed fiercely, this time it was Wang Jialiang who took the initiative to request the mission, and the action team followed suit.

They were the leaders of the intelligence team and the action team of the Shanghai station, but the previous mission leaders were all left to Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen. The two of them really disagreed.

This time, the competition for performance failed.

Fortunately, the five-person team lurked separately and did not know this place. If they knew it and surrendered quickly, even they would be in danger.

"Stationmaster, who would have thought that the Japanese were secretly protecting us. We didn't check for a while, and they took advantage of us."

Wang Jialiang whispered that one of the two sanctioned traitors had a Japanese team hidden around him.

The complete Japanese team consisted of thirteen people, and their combat effectiveness was very strong. The two teams failed to punish the target, and only half of the ten people escaped.

The losses this time were not small. Although they were members of the action team, they were the strength of their Shanghai station.

It was okay if he didn't say it. When he said that Wang Yuemin became even more angry: "You didn't expect it? Then what did you expect, that the enemy would stand there and let you assassinate you in vain? You are a waste. If you don't find the reason from yourself, you will shirk responsibility. Get out and give up." I'll get out."

If Wang Jialiang hadn't been his cousin, Wang Yuemin would have really wanted to get rid of him.

The two left in despair. This mission was indeed messed up, and it was normal to be scolded.

If they hadn't successfully sanctioned one person, I'm afraid they would have been scolded even worse.

The more Wang Yuemin thought about it, the angrier he became. He shouldn't have given this task to them. They were far less capable than Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen.

If it were Loach, he would definitely conduct the most detailed investigation on the target, and maybe discover the trap. Unfortunately, both of them have returned to the combat team now, and they have missions, so they can't come over.

In the special high school class, Hoshino Kozo is interrogating.

His position in the Special High School Course was a bit awkward. He was originally an investigator from the headquarters, but with an order from the chief section chief, he became the intelligence team leader of the Shanghai Special High School Course.

He has no one and no power here, and he is suppressed by Mitsui, so his life is not good.

It's really frustrating for a dignified intelligence team leader who can't control his own men but has to control a few Chinese people.

But the Chinese named Li Zhiqun was a good and capable man. He speculated that the Chinese would continue to punish those traitors, selected a few key points, and sent people to ambush around these traitors.

As the Chinese say, the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole follows behind.

His oriole finally had something to gain.

Of the five Chinese agents, two were shot dead on the spot and three were captured and are being tortured.

"Mr. Hoshino, we have recruited them all. Their base is in the French Concession. This is the address."

Not long after, Li Zhiqun ran out. Hoshino did not participate in the interrogation. He did not like scenes that were too bloody.

Just leave this kind of thing to the Chinese themselves.

After these Chinese surrendered to the empire, they treated their compatriots more cruelly than anyone else, desperately trying to get others to rebel like them.

Hoshino doesn't quite understand, but he likes their style, which can save him a lot of energy.

"Very good. Let's set off immediately and prepare to arrest people."

Hoshino is very happy. The Chinese have confessed, and he hopes to expand his results and catch more Chinese agents.

Under Mitsui's pressure, it was even more difficult for him to make meritorious deeds.

He didn't use his intelligence team members. In fact, he didn't have many team members under his command. He just talked about a few people who didn't know the situation and took refuge in him.

He still needs to borrow soldiers, who can also arrest people.

With two teams of twenty-six people, all in plain clothes, as well as some surrendered agents such as himself and Li Zhiqun, Hoshino quickly arrived at the stronghold of the French Concession.

"no one?"

After entering the stronghold, Hoshino quickly frowned. The stronghold was empty of people, there were ashes of burned documents on the ground, and not a single note was left for them.

"Mr. Hoshino, they ran away."

Li Zhiqun felt very sorry, but the result was within their expectations.

They didn't catch all the people at the scene, but a few ran away. These people would definitely move when they knew their companions were arrested, and would not just wait for them to catch them.

"It's okay. You stay here and continue to investigate. Who rented this house and who lived there before. I'll go back and report to the section chief."

Hoshino Kozo comforted him and led the people back to the extra-high school class.

"Caught three agents from the Shanghai Station of Military Intelligence? Why didn't you report it in advance?"

After hearing what Hoshino said, Mitsui Amu's first thought was not about meritorious service, but because Hoshino didn't say hello in advance.

Mitsui has a strong desire for control, and he doesn't like his subordinates to make decisions without authorization.

Jiang Tengkong did this very well. No matter what he did, he would tell him in advance.

"I didn't know before whether the Chinese would attack these people, so I didn't report it."

Hoshino explained, Mitsui's expression was expressionless. Hoshino had caught someone and made a meritorious service. He wanted to encourage, not blame.

But he hated this approach of killing first and telling later.

"If there is any situation in the future, we must report it first. We did a good job this time. Although the people in the stronghold ran away, these three people provided a lot of important information, allowing us to learn more about the Shanghai Station of the Military Intelligence Department."

Mitsui said slowly that the Military Intelligence Service has two intelligence departments in Shanghai.

Shanghai Station and Wartime Intelligence Group.

The leader of the war team is their personal enemy Chu Lingyun.

The previous webmaster of Shanghai Station was Chen Shu. Chen Shu and Chu Lingyun actually had a conflict. Moreover, Chu Lingyun had beaten Chen Shu. The extra-high-level class was unable to get the information in time. No one knew about it until they were arrested today.

If we get information in advance, we might be able to make some use of this.

It's a pity that the opportunity is gone. Now the webmaster of Shanghai Station is Wang Yuemin. He has an unusual relationship with Chu Lingyun. He is not only Chu Lingyun's boss, but also Chu Lingyun's teacher.

Chu Lingyun respects this teacher very much. Today, the Shanghai Station and the War Team are like one family.

The two intelligence agencies can play a stronger role when they are united. This is very detrimental to the special high school, but it is not without its advantages. They are as close as a family. Starting from the Shanghai station, they can find the war situation team and Chu Lingyun. .

Chu Lingyun's protection was very strict. Mitsui had never been able to find an opportunity. Now he can use Shanghai Station as a breakthrough.

These three people are very crucial. They are familiar with the situation at Shanghai Station. If they are left alone, they will have a chance to find the people at Shanghai Station.

But it was Hoshino who caught the three of them, which made Mitsui very uncomfortable.

He couldn't force the person Hoshino captured, otherwise the appearance would be too ugly, so he could only continue to let him investigate, and when there was progress, he would find a way to get Ishida Koyama to intervene.

Hoshino left the office and shook his head outside.

Mitsui has a strong desire for power, and he is very clear about his dissatisfaction with him. It really makes him feel a little chilled that he still treats him like this after he has made a meritorious service.

If you have the chance, you must be transferred away from Shanghai or the Special Higher Education Course, otherwise if you stay here, you will be killed by Mitsui sooner or later.

Time passed slowly, and Shimakura came to see Chu Lingyun every once in a while, and the worry on his face increased a lot.

In the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese army did not perform as smoothly as they expected.

Especially in Taierzhuang, they were unable to attack for a long time, which caused them great losses.

Chu Lingyun had already reported the actions of the Japanese army to the leader, and the leader reported to the old man. The old man took it very seriously and personally arrived in Xuzhou to supervise the battle.

The two divisions dispatched by the Japanese army in Taierzhuang have both suffered considerable losses so far. As the army is fighting very hard, the Japanese army is also suffering.

"Ishihara-kun, you are right. I think you should join the army. If you were to command this battle, you would definitely not be like this."

Ishihara Trading Company, Shimakura sighed. He had discussed it with Ishihara Hiroshi before. Although the results of their deduction were very good, Ishihara Hiroshi was not so optimistic.

Facts have proved that Ishihara Hiroshi was right. The empire was greedy for power and advanced rashly, and was in a dilemma in Taierzhuang.

"I'm talking about it on paper. It's okay to talk about it, but it definitely won't work in practice. Besides, I like to do business and don't like to join the army."

Chu Lingyun smiled. He knew the outcome in advance, so he could naturally speak well.

"It is the empire's loss that you did not join the army."

Shimakura complimented him, but he had no idea that a lot of important information was leaked by him in such a casual conversation.

"The literary club is scheduled to be officially established in a week. Are you free on that day?"

The time for the establishment of the literary society was set, and a celebration was held a week later. Chu Lingyun visited General Matsumoto as Hosokawa Tomotaka.

Matsumoto learned that his book would be on sale on the opening day and readily agreed.

It’s not that he has never published a book, but the meaning of publishing this time is different. His book is together with Hosokawa Tomotaka’s collected works. The two of them will definitely form a good story in the Japanese literary world.

"If I have time, I will definitely go that day."

Shimakura hurriedly replied that he knew the importance of the literary club very well. As a member of the literary club, no matter how important the matter was that day, he must be present in person.

He wanted to continue to improve himself, and he could not do without the support of Toru Ishihara and the literary society. No matter how important other things were, they could not compare to the establishment celebration of the literary society.

"Very good, I also hope that all members of the Literature Club will be there that day, ahem."

After saying that, Chu Lingyun coughed twice. Shi Yuanheng must be sick on the day of the celebration, so he must be prepared at this time.

"Ishihara-kun, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"I have a little cold, nothing serious."

Chu Lingyun shook his head and said, a cold can lead to pneumonia, and a fever can cause serious illness, which is a perfect reason to leave at that time.

Chu Yuan had received training a long time ago. For this reason, he even wanted to get really sick, but was ultimately rejected by Chu Lingyun.

If pneumonia is really caused in this era, even if he has enough sulfonamides, he will still be in great danger. Chu Yuan cannot suffer such a big crime just because of a mission.

He can pretend to be seriously ill.

As for body temperature, he also has a way to ensure that no one will notice anything abnormal.

The trouble is Shuicheng Jun. Once Ishihara Hiroshi gets sick, Shuicheng Jun will definitely accompany him, and he will need to be taken away when the time comes.

"Looking at the severity of your cough, have you been to the hospital?" Shimakura asked with concern.

"There is no need to go to the hospital for this kind of minor illness."

Chu Lingyun smiled. The Japanese army wanted to increase its troops on the Xuzhou battlefield and mobilized eight divisions for encirclement and suppression. The Fourth Division also received an order to mobilize two regiments for reinforcements.

After learning this information, Chu Lingyun couldn't help but smile.

The battle for fame of the Osaka Division is coming soon.

Chu Lingyun wrote down all the information and went to Virgo's desk in the evening.

"Eight divisions plus two regiments, more than 200,000 people, the Japanese are really determined to kill us."

After reading the intelligence, Virgo snorted coldly. Taierzhuang was in a state of anxiety. Japan could not attack it for a long time. It was urgent and more troops had to be mobilized for encirclement and suppression.

The Military Intelligence Department does not direct operations, they are only responsible for intelligence. This intelligence was quickly sent to the old man.

The Military Intelligence Department has recently received important information one after another. The old man is very satisfied. The Rangers that Virgo has been thinking about can finally be officially renamed. The new name is the Loyalty and National Salvation Army.

The old man promised Virgo that he would adapt it next month.

The reorganized Loyalty and National Salvation Army will be completely commanded by the Military Intelligence Division. It will no longer have complex factions and include everyone as before.

In order to fight for power and gain, Virgo often fights with these people.

Continuous meritorious service and provided so much important information. Finally in exchange for his exclusive command of the Rangers.

On April 6, the fruit army in Taierzhuang began a full-scale counterattack. The Japanese army's plan to quickly capture Taierzhuang and then conquer Xuzhou was completely ruined.

Early in the morning, Chu Lingyun disguised himself as Hosokawa Tomotaka, picked up General Matsumoto, and went to the literary club together.

Next to the literary club, in the larger courtyard.

Iwai Ryuichi and Yuan Yida walked out of the office and looked at the gongs and drums next door.

"Is this the literary club of Tomataka Hosokawa?"

"Yes, today is the day they were established. They have been preparing for it a few days ago."

Yuan Yida is an intelligence officer and has already collected all the information about his neighbors. They have also finished cleaning up the Iwai Mansion and are preparing to list it in the next few days.

On the surface it is a mansion, but in fact it is Iwai Ryuichi's exclusive intelligence agency.

In addition to intelligence, Iwai Mansion also has three major areas: politics, culture and armed forces. Iwai Ryuichi had high hopes here and invested a lot of money.

There are four buildings in the yard, and each department occupies one.

In terms of politics, the main purpose is to promote "goodwill" and reduce the Chinese people's hatred of Japan. Iwai Ryuichi attaches great importance to propaganda work and lets Yuan Yida personally preside over this aspect of work.

Yuan Shu is also responsible for intelligence, mainly collecting various useful intelligence for Iwai Ryuichi and helping Iwai Ryuichi improve his political capital.

The main cultural aspect is the Shanghai Translation and Translation Office, which publishes newspapers promoting Japan. There are also separate educational activities to recruit young people who have lost the opportunity to study due to the war, so as to brainwash and transform them into supporters of Japan.

The director of the Compilation and Compilation Institute is Teacher Yun, and activities in this area are also in the hands of the organization.

As for the armed forces, they are dozens of carefully trained agents who are good at action, blasting and assassination. They are still under the direct command of Yuan Yida.

All key departments are under the control of Yuan Yida, which shows Ryuichi Iwai's trust in him.

"Didn't Youzhai Literary Society send out an invitation letter?"

Iwai Ryuichi asked, and Yuan Yida shook his head: "No, I sent someone to ask. They were established internally. They only held celebrations internally and did not invite any outsiders."

The purpose of the literary club is to keep a low profile, so naturally it won’t invite so many people when it is established.

If we really want to invite, there will be too many people coming.

Iwai Ryuichi said nothing and still looked to the next door.

"Sir, Hosokawa Tomotaka and General Matsumoto are here."

Several cars came outside, and 'Ishihara Hiroshi', who had just arrived at the door, immediately led people to greet them.

Chu Yuan pretended to be 'Ishihara Hiroshi', his face turned yellow, he kept coughing, and he couldn't speak at all, which made Shun Shuisheng, Shimakura and others worried.

On such an important day today, Ishihara Hiroshi is seriously ill, and no one can replace Ishihara Hiroshi's position.

"Ishihara-kun, you are so sick, so you don't need to come."

Chu Lingyun took the initiative to walk up to 'Ishihara Hiroshi' and pretended to blame him.

Chu Yuan wanted to open his mouth, but coughed violently again.

"Send your boss to the hospital immediately."

Chu Lingyun pointed to a few people from the literary club, and the two immediately stepped forward. Shi Yuanheng's forehead was very hot and he was already crumbling. There was no choice but to take him away.

Shuicheng Jun was about to follow when Chu Lingyun suddenly said: "You are Shuicheng Jun, right? Ishihara-kun has mentioned you to me many times. The literary club was built under your supervision. Take me and General Matsumoto in to have a look."

"Yes, President, President Matsumoto, please come in."

Shuisheng Jun was overjoyed and ignored Ishihara Hiroshi. Being able to directly serve Hosokawa Tomotaka and General Matsumoto was his dream.

"Prepare a gift and let's go over and say hello."

On the other side, Iwai Ryuichi noticed Hosokawa Tomotaka and General Matsumoto getting out of the car and immediately gave instructions to Yuan Yida.

If there was only General Matsumoto, there was no need for him to go. Matsumoto's rank was high, but the Consulate General didn't have many interactions with the military police.

The focus is Tomotaka Hosokawa.

Master Hosokawa attaches great importance to this younger son. If he has a good relationship with the Hosokawa family, he will get more help.

The literary club is very luxuriously decorated. Ikegami, Shimakura, Takemoto, Yamaguchi and others have arrived long ago. They all greeted Ishihara Hiroshi just now. Unfortunately, Ishihara Hiroshi was too sick to speak.

After Tomotaka Hosokawa arrived, the first thing he did was to have Hiroshi Ishihara taken to the hospital.

The relationship between Hosokawa and Ishihara is indeed very good, and Hosokawa showed great concern before.

Chu Lingyun's acting skills were very good and he deceived everyone.

"President, President Matsumoto, there are currently ten people in our literary club. This is the public gathering area, this is the rest area, and this is the exhibition hall. By the way, your two manuscripts have been released by the publishing house today. It’s the day of sale, but your works are already in the exhibition hall.”

"Really, let's go to the exhibition hall and have a look."

Matsumoto took the initiative and said that the exhibition hall is very luxuriously decorated, with a glass counter inside, and the counter displays the works of many literary masters in Japan from ancient times to the present.

Many of the works are ancient books. In order to find these ancient books, Shuicheng Toshiko spent a lot of effort.

Seeing his own works placed together with those of his favorite literary masters, Matsumoto beamed and nodded.

Chu Lingyun also took the opportunity to praise a few words, which made Shuicheng Jun excited.

"Are there any guests?"

Shuicheng Junzheng took the two presidents on a tour. Before they reached their offices, the staff of the literary agency suddenly came to report.

They didn't invite anyone. Only people from the literary club were present today.

However, the one who came was Consul General Iwai Ryuichi. He was no small figure, and Shun Mizuki couldn't make the decision.

"President, there is a guest coming over to congratulate you. He says he is Mr. Iwai, the Consul General."

Shuicheng Jun reported in a low voice, while Chu Lingyun looked at Matsumoto.

"Why is he here?"

Matsumoto frowned. He knew Iwai, but he didn't have much contact with him. Iwai was keen on politics, while he was a pure soldier. The two of them couldn't urinate in the same pot.

"General, there is a place called Iwai Mansion next to our literary club. It is said that it was founded by Mr. Iwai. The place is not small. I guess he knew that you and the president were there, so he came here to congratulate you."

Shuicheng Jun hurriedly explained that he had been in the literary club and had already investigated the surrounding units.

But he didn't know that Iwai Mansion was an intelligence agency.

"Is the Iwai Mansion here?"

He didn't know, but Matsumoto knew it very well, but he only knew that this was a place built by Iwai Ryuichi with a huge investment to serve the consulate. It contained several departments, but the specifics were unclear.

"General, if you don't like it, I'll send them away."

Chu Lingyun said lightly, while Matsumoto shook his head: "The visitors are guests, please invite them in."

Tomotaka Hosokawa was willing to send Ryuichi Iwai away for him, and Matsumoto was very satisfied.

But in this way, Tomotaka Hosokawa has offended Ryuichi Iwai. There is no need at all. People come to congratulate and just invite them in.

"Master Hosokawa, General Matsumoto, congratulations on the establishment of Yuzhai Literary Society."

Shuisheng Shun quickly brought the two of them in. The one walking in front was Iwai Ryuichi, while Yuan Yida looked carefully at all the people around him.

He learned about the situation of this literary society through the organization.

A place where many mid-level officers gathered, led by Japanese nobles and the commander-in-chief of the gendarmerie, could provide them with a lot of important information.

It's a pity that this literary agency is quite closed. He tried to send someone to break in before, but failed.

"Thank you Mr. Iwai."

Chu Lingyun replied, Matsumoto nodded casually, Iwai Ryuichi pointed to the people around him and introduced: "We will be neighbors from now on, and we can interact more. Next to it is my Iwai Mansion. This is the person in charge of my mansion, Yuan Yida .”

"Hello, President Hosokawa, and I, Yuan Yida, please take good care of me in the future."

Yuan Yida took the initiative to extend his hand. After Iwai Ryuichi and his people came over, Chu Lingyun was thinking about this person's identity.

Ryuichi Iwai's introduction made him understand that, just as he had guessed, he was really that awesome boss.

Later short videos introduced him a lot. He was a true legend, a red agent with a fifth-level identity.

His life experience is more like a legendary drama.

One person has multiple identities, turning Japan's intelligence agency into a stronghold for our party. For this alone, no one can compare with him.

"If Mr. Yuan is appreciated by Mr. Iwai, he must be a good friend of the empire. As neighbors, we should take care of each other."

Chu Lingyun stretched out his hand. He knew the other party, but the other party did not know his identity.

The hands of the two ace agents were held together like this.

"I won't disturb you anymore. This is a gift for congratulations. I hope you two like it."

Iwai Ryuichi came over just to say hello. No outsiders were invited, so it was inconvenient for him to stay here.

If the other party is willing to let him in, it has given him face.

"Mr. Iwai is too kind."

Chu Lingyun took the initiative to see him off, and after a few polite words from both parties, Iwai Ryuichi took Yuan Yida and left.

"President Matsumoto, this is your office."

Mizuki Toshi first took them to Matsumoto's office. General Matsumoto would probably not come once a month, but his separate office must be prepared.

The decoration of the office is very luxurious, and it is decorated based on the samurai spirit. There are many samurai swords hanging on the wall.

On the other side is a bookcase, densely packed with various books.

Matsumoto's book is also among them, and it is in the most conspicuous position.

"Not bad, Jihyo, I like it here very much."

Matsumoto is very satisfied with his office. Hosokawa left him such an office, which shows that he values ​​him.

"As long as you like it, Ishihara is very stable in his work. I told him your preferences, and he decorated such an office that is both civil and military."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded, while Matsumoto laughed.

Yes, this Ishihara Hiroshi is very eye-catching and lovable, but it is a pity that he is ill today, otherwise Ishihara Hiroshi would be the one to introduce him, and he would definitely be better than this Mizujo Toshi.

"President, this is your office."

Tomotaka Hosokawa's office is a bit low-key. There is no samurai sword, but there is a special large tea table.

Tomotaka Hosokawa likes to drink tea, and Matsumoto knows this.

Seeing the layout of the office, Matsumoto nodded silently. Ishihara Toru was very thoughtful. The decoration was so good that they couldn't find any faults.

"Shui Cheng, you just said that my and General Matsumoto's books are on sale today. Can you take us to see them?"

Chu Lingyun asked proactively, and Matsumoto was also moved.

When his book is on sale, he naturally wants to know whether readers like it or how the sales are.

Although he does not value the money earned from selling books, as people who love literature, their biggest wish is for their works to be recognized by more people.

"No problem, I'll take you there right away."

Shuicheng Jun had already made preparations. The few of them did not drive. There was a large bookstore not far away, so they walked directly there.

Before reaching the door of the bookstore, I saw dozens of people standing there and queuing.

These are all people arranged by Shuicheng Jun. He specially arranged for people to wait at the door of the literary club. As soon as he saw them coming out, he immediately made the bookstore look like they were panic buying.

"The business of the bookstore is so good, do you have to queue up to buy books?"

Matsumoto asked in confusion, and Shuisheng Shun immediately replied: "There are usually not so many people, but today there are probably a lot more people because of the release of the two presidents' new books."

This flattery went well, and Matsumoto was very happy, but he never thought that his work would be so popular.

"General, someone will buy your book again."

Takemoto had sharp eyes, and he saw a man paying for a book, and the one he got was the one written by Matsumoto.

"Really? Quick, ask that person to come over and ask."

Matsumoto's eyes suddenly lit up and he said happily. Shuisheng Jun immediately stepped forward and called the person who just bought the book over.

"Remember how to say it?"

"Remember, I was asked, can I add more money?"

"Add, ten yuan, if you perform well, you can double it."

Shuicheng Bureau didn't have time to say anything more, so after whispering instructions, he immediately led people to Matsumoto.

"Did you like this book?"

Seeing him holding the book he had written tightly, Matsumoto asked with a smile.

"I like it. General Matsumoto is my most admired idol. His books are full of atmosphere. I especially like the ancient wars he wrote. They are so well written..."

The visitor immediately replied that these were all things Shuicheng Jun had explained before.

After hearing him say what he had written, Matsumoto's eyes immediately widened and he was even more excited.

The other party bought his book and was talking about the content in his book. Naturally, he had no doubts. He never thought that his works would be so popular.

"Is there a signed book? I want a signed book."

Before Matsumoto could reply, someone suddenly shouted at the door of the bookstore that there were no photos of them in the book. Matsumoto understood that the people in front of him did not know that he was one of the authors.

"There are no signed books, but our bookstore can help convey your wishes. Which authors do you want signed?"

The bookstore belongs to Japanese people, and the people who buy books are also Japanese and speak Japanese.

"I like this collected works of Hosokawa very much, and I want Hosokawa Tomotaka's autograph."

"I still prefer General Matsumoto. I want his autograph."

Several people kept shouting, and when he heard many people mentioning his name, Matsumoto couldn't stop smiling, and his heart became even more happy.

"General, how about we help them fulfill their wishes and sign their autographs?"

Chu Lingyun whispered, and Matsumoto nodded immediately. The two revealed their identities, and received cheers from the crowd. They quickly signed books for many people. These people took the signed books and left happily.

They were really happy to get an extra two yen for getting the signed book, and they really wanted to sign it.

It's not a deliberate act.

Matsumoto was not stupid. He observed them carefully and asked another person. He could also tell the contents of his book, which made him even more satisfied.

Thanks to Snowflakes and Stars Flying in the Sky for the 1,500 starting coin reward, and to 777 Fog Wind 777 for the 100 starting coin reward. Eight thousand words combined into one chapter.
