Odaya is the first Japanese restaurant in Montenegro.
Inside the restaurant, Lu Ming sat upright on the tatami. On the table in front of him were sashimi of fish and shrimp. Opposite him were two beauties in kimonos kneeling.
Asaba Nagamasa's wife, Asaba Yoshiko, had a sweet smile, was very young and beautiful, and had the unique gentleness of Japanese women. But compared with the super beautiful girl next to her, she seemed to have lost her color in an instant.
Kneeling next to Asaba Yoshiko is a beautiful girl in a pink floral kimono. The color of the kimono has a soft and bright beauty, but she is even more beautiful. Her facial features are delicate as if they were carefully carved out, her eyebrows are truly picturesque, and her long black hair is tied with a beautiful pink bow. She has the kind of beauty that only she could have done countless plastic surgeries in her previous life.
Her name is Ashikaga Erika. As expected, she is somewhat similar to Erika, who was the most beautiful girl in a certain industry in her previous life, but she is much more beautiful, with a beauty that only appears in comics.
At this time, Asaba Yoshiko was sighing, "General Ren just saw Erika's photo and couldn't forget it. My husband, under the pressure of General Ren, was also ready to marry Erika to him, but I couldn't bear it. Erika is only fifteen years old, and General Ren is probably over seventy. How can this be possible? I hope Mr. Lu can help my daughter and Erika."
Lu Ming slowly touched the teacup. This was the reason why he didn't want to meet Asaba Yoshiko.
I thought that Asaba Yoshiko, with the instruction of Asaba Nagamasa, was finally going to invest real money. After all, since she came to Montenegro, she has only run such a restaurant.
I don’t know how much of what she said now was sincere and how much was false.
I don't even know what its intention is.
This Ashikaga Erika can really make all men fall in love with her, and she is obviously a tool cultivated by Asaba Nagamasa to make friends with the powerful people in the Northern Territory.
It is even possible that he has been trained as a spy.
Now that he has a connection with Ren Zhonglin, the military governor of a province and one of the four major warlords in the Northern Territory, how could Asaba Nagamasa not make things happen
It can be said that after more than ten years of investment, I have received the deserved return.
What does what Asaba Yoshiko said to me now mean
Asaba Yoshiko sighed softly, "Young Marshal, please don't worry. My husband and I do have a disagreement on this matter. I have no other intentions. I did come to seek your help and hope to be frank with you. I think Erika should follow you to have a future and happiness. I really love her as my own daughter."
You must be kidding! Lu Ming sneered in his heart, fiddling with the teacup and glancing at Ashikaga Erika. However, this beautiful girl had a blank expression on her face and seemed not to care at all about discussing her fate.
"Erika, you go first!" said Asaba Yoshiko.
"Yes!" Ashikaga Erika first bowed to Asaba Yoshiko, "Madam, I'm leaving!" Then she turned to Lu Ming, let her hair down and bowed deeply, and her beautiful bow trembled slightly, "Young Marshal, Erika is leaving!" She stood up gracefully, her snow-white socks stepping on the tatami, and left in small steps.
"Young Marshal has been rectifying military discipline and cleaning up the local area recently. I admire you very much." Asaba Yoshiko raised her wine cup and smiled faintly: "Young Marshal is tea, I will use wine instead of tea to toast you."
Lu Ming picked up the teacup, "You can also use tea."
Asaba Yoshiko smiled charmingly: "How can I express my respect without wine? I'll drink first as a sign of respect!" She raised the wine cup, covered it with her long sleeves, and drank it all in one gulp.
Lu Ming drank half a sip of the tea in the teacup. He really didn't give any face at all. If it was at a dinner table in his previous life, he would probably be scolded.
The beautiful woman toasted you with wine, and you just drank tea and took a sip.
Asaba Yoshiko didn't care. She stood up gently, walked around the square table with small steps like Ashikaga Erika, came to Lu Ming's side, knelt gently, poured tea for Lu Ming, and poured herself a full cup of sake.
"The young marshal has a prejudice against me, but time will tell!" Asaba Yoshiko said softly with a smile.
Surrounded by the fragrance, Lu Ming looked at the beautiful Japanese woman sitting next to him and said calmly, "You are just talking big but not delivering on your promises. I've been waiting for you and your wife to invest so long that I'm getting disappointed."
Asaba Yoshiko chuckled: "What does a certain amount of investment mean to the young commander? The young commander is just concerned about the people and things behind Nagamasa, but the young commander should know that Nagamasa is Nagamasa, and Yoshiko is Yoshiko..."
"Really?" Lu Ming looked at the watch on his wrist.
"I really did ask for the young commander's help. When I saw Erika, I thought of myself before I married Nagamasa."
Asaba Yoshiko sighed softly, "Erika is the daughter of a criminal, and now her whole family is still in the kiln. As for me, before I married Nagamasa, my father and brother committed a serious crime. I originally had a lover, and in order to save my father and brother, I married Nagamasa. However, my father and brother were still executed!" She picked up the wine cup and drank it in another gulp.
Lu Ming said nothing and looked at his watch again, "Five minutes left."
"Young Marshal is really heartless!" Asaba Yoshiko smiled bitterly, "I sincerely hope to marry Erika to Young Marshal. Young Marshal, don't worry, she doesn't want the title of Seventeenth Wife. Being a maid to Young Marshal is a thousand times better than being with that old man! You don't have to bother Young Marshal with anything. Just take her away tonight. I will say that you kidnapped her, and Nagamasa will have nothing to say. It's already like this, there is a flaw in the perfect jade. Even if Erika is taken back, she can't marry Governor Ren. Nagamasa will not do something that will not please both sides. With Nagamasa's character, he will immediately assess the situation and use this relationship to better establish a good relationship with Young Marshal. As for Governor Ren, he will think of other ways to perfunctorily deal with him, and will not make Young Marshal a thorn in his side."
"It's almost time..." Lu Ming thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Nanping Security Bureau, how many intelligence agents do you have inside? Oh, this is not important. What level is the highest-ranking intelligence agent among you?"
Asaba Yoshiko was startled and looked at Lu Ming.
"Director Chen Rongfu, what is your relationship with him?" Lu Ming asked again.
"Does the young marshal want to bribe him? Or..." Asaba Yoshiko stretched out her snow-white little hand and made a gesture, and when her little hand fell, it took advantage of the momentum to land on Lu Ming's folded knees.
"I want to get rid of him." Lu Ming looked at Asaba Yoshiko, "But I don't want to use my people. They have been there for a short time and are easy to be exposed. If you can use Asaba Nagamasa's intelligence network to work for me temporarily and help me do this, I will consider your proposal." He paused and said, "When I say get rid of, I don't mean assassinate him. I mean wipe him out from the Nanping military and political system." His tone was flat, but there was an indescribable coldness in it.
Asaba Yoshiko looked at Lu Ming in astonishment, and suddenly burst out laughing, "Young Marshal, Mr. Lu, you are the most handsome man I have ever seen. I want to give you a beautiful girl like Erika, but you seem to have suffered a great loss and want us to do such an embarrassing thing. You know, it is very likely that after doing this, Changzheng's network of relationships in Nanping will be destroyed." After a pause, "However, I am willing to help the young marshal, but this matter must be kept secret from Changzheng, so let me think about what to do."
Lu Ming nodded: "Then when you figure it out, we'll talk about it."
Asaba Yoshiko's snow-white little hands moved gently on Lu Ming's knees, and her soft body snuggled towards Lu Ming. She put her red lips close to Lu Ming's ear, "Marshal, you can stay tonight, we can find a solution together..." Her voice was indescribably charming.
Lu Ming had already stood up, "When you think of it, call me!"
Asaba Yoshiko chuckled: "Okay..." Her voice was drawn out and coquettish, "I'll help the young marshal with his shoes and socks!" She knelt down in front of the tatami, gently took the pair of leather shoes under Lu Ming's wooden couch, and carefully blew away the dust on them. She really wanted to help Lu Ming put on his shoes.
Lu Ming was speechless. He didn't know whether Asaba Nagamasa was too willing to do so, or whether there was some truth in Asaba Yoshiko's words. She might hate her husband very much, but she just wouldn't tell him clearly.
