Chapter 26: A Visit to Hirai's House (2)

The Hirai family has many mansions in the local area, but the mansion is not the largest embodiment of the wealth of the Hirai family, the Hirai family has a total of three cities, these three cities are the most valuable and the largest embodiment of the status of the entire Hirai family, these three cities are called the Heavenly City, Doutian City and Silver Sky City.

Of course, the city here does not mean the city, but the castle or a special local building that has been used since ancient times, the castle is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the outer city wall is high and surprisingly thick, there are no windows but there are small holes, this small hole is to put out the musket in the hand and make a bunker, and the inner city and the outer city are often separated by several gates, if you want to enter the inner city, you must pass through the gate and various traps, and fall into the layers of street battles arranged by the other party.

The most famous buildings of this type are the two castle towers, and the three castles of the Hirai family are actually not very old, and they are all built in modern times, just because the heads of the Hirai family liked and admired this architectural style, and thought that the overlords of the world should live in similar buildings.

At present, the main family of the Hirai family is in Doutian City among the three cities, and the address is not far from Tang Yao's city, and it is about two hours away by car, Shangguan Fumeng takes the lead, and everyone takes the luxury car prepared by Shangguan to form a convoy to Doutian City.

Strictly speaking, there is no need for so many people, a total of four cars in front and back of the convoy are all more than one million level, black in the water, but in fact, except for the middle car, most of the other vehicles are bodyguards, bodyguards are umbrellas for some people, and for Shangguan Fumeng and others, it is more pomp and circumstance, if the people who come to attack can even Shangguan Fumeng and even Tang Yao can easily handle it, then these bodyguards may not play a role.

The four sedans set off in the afternoon and arrived outside Doutian City at six o'clock in the evening, the bodyguards opened the door for Shangguan Fumeng, and Tang Yao saw a row of people standing outside the car through the window, looking like they were waiting to welcome their arrival, to be precise, to welcome the arrival of Shangguan Fumeng.

Tang Yao followed and got out of the car, and saw that there were about dozens of greeting personnel arranged by the Hirai family, all of them standing at the gate, and immediately bowed deeply after seeing Shangguan Fumeng get out of the car, and then shouted in Chinese that no matter whether it was standard or not, but could understand: "Greetings Miss Shangguan." ”

Shangguan Fumeng nodded, and walked into Doutian City with the mighty crowd with his head held high.

Tang Yao walked in the crowd, today he is not the protagonist just followed to see for a long time, of course, what is more important is to confirm whether Gong Yuling's kidnapping has anything to do with the Pingjing family, if it is really the Hirai family who kidnapped Gong Yuling, then salute first and then soldier, if the other party sends Gong Yuling back safely, it is okay to say, if you insist on not letting go, then don't say that Tang Yao will not give up even if he is Shangguan Fumeng, so the purpose of this visit today is very clear, that is, to test the other party, and then exert pressure.

Although the construction time of Doutian City is not long, it can be done very well in terms of antiquity and distress, and the moment Tang Yao passes through the porch, it is like passing through a time tunnel, and he instantly returns to the Warring States era of this country.

"The style of the entire Doutian City is modeled after the Warring States Period, and many of the items on display are also very old." At this time, a man sent by the Hirai family to receive him said with a smile on his face, he spoke fluent Chinese, although he was not young, but when he stood next to Shangguan Fumeng, the entire aura was suppressed by Shangguan Fumeng.

Shangguan Fumeng nodded and said, "I know, you don't need to introduce me, I'm not interested in what style or history this is, I want to see Kazuo Hirai's predecessor lead the way." ”

"Good...... Okay, please, Hirai-sama is ready for a dinner party to entertain you and your friends. ”

Tang Yao no longer has much hope for the country's "sumptuous" dinner, not that the dishes are not delicious or not exquisite enough, but too delicate to look like a work of art, and the amount is really not large, it is too difficult for a big stomach like Tang Yao to eat enough, and the price is several times that of China.

In contrast, after Tang Yao came for a few days, he began to miss the food stalls and barbecue stalls in China.

Passing through the long corridor and crossing the open-air wooden bridge, Tang Yao saw that the sky outside had completely darkened, I don't know if it was because the air was very good, the bright stars could be seen in the sky, he followed everyone into the inner city, the inner city was smaller than expected, after walking through the gate, you could see a Japanese-style garden, and then at the end of the garden was the banquet hall, which was surrounded by townhouses similar to guest rooms.

The banquet hall is quite large, brightly lit, from the door of the banquet hall to the gate where Tang Yao and others passed, the whole tunnel is full of beautiful women wearing kimonos, each woman has a lantern on her wrist, although Tang Yao does not think the Japanese geisha is full of white makeup, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him, the stars in the sky, the exquisite garden on the ground, the lights reflect the slender figure, as if coming to the land of wind and snow.

Where Shangguan Fumeng walked by, the geisha dispersed, and then retreated to the back of the crowd and followed silently, Tang Yao saw that several people in the team couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and wanted to take pictures, but in the end they didn't do so.

Shangguan Fumeng walked to the door of the banquet hall, and at this time, a middle-aged man who was not tall but very burly came out of the banquet hall, this person was the current head of the Hirai family, Kazuo Hirai, and behind him stood a subordinate known as a retainer.

Hirai Kazuo is also a ruthless person in the country's illusionist circle, his strength is not bad, and his means are ruthless, it is said that he was able to succeed in the throne and become the head of the Hirai family, because he became the only heir after killing his three brothers, it is said that the old head of the previous generation of the Hirai family began to test his three sons after suffering from an incurable disease, and wanted to choose a person who had enough strength to inherit the Hirai family, and in various tests, Hirai Kazuo was not the best, seeing that he had no hope of inheriting the family, Unexpectedly, for his ambition, he actually found an opportunity to ask his three brothers out for a drink, and then killed his three brothers at the banquet.

This move would have been seen as a big rebellion, but he didn't expect to get the approval of the old family owner, that is, his father, who thought that only a ruthless person like him could lead the Hirai family to glory, so he finally passed the Hirai family to him, and it turned out that he did a good job, and the Hirai family created a lot of brilliance in his hands, from the family that was originally in the middle of the Yin and Yang Liao after decades to get the right to speak, the status of the family.

"Welcome, welcome." In order to show goodwill, Kazuo Hirai, who obviously couldn't speak Chinese, still insisted on learning and selling two sentences of Chinese, and Shangguan Fumeng stepped forward to perform a ceremony to him as a junior to meet his senior.

"No need to be polite, please take a seat." The translator went into battle and began to translate what was said on both sides.

Everyone took their seats, Tang Yao glanced at the so-called sumptuous banquet in front of him, and there was no "surprise", it was still exquisite but very small amount of food, and he had already begun to think that he would have to go out for a supper to fill his stomach after he went back.

After the banquet began, the geisha sang and danced on the stage, and Kazuo Hirai and Shangguan Fumeng exchanged a few words of greeting, and then suddenly turned to the topic and said: "I heard that your only son also participated in this team battle of the Ten Thousand Nations Competition, I don't know if you are here today, if you do, can you introduce me?" ”

Hirai Kazuo's face changed, he glanced at the empty seat behind him, originally he asked Hirai Ryota to come, but Hirai Ryota actually hasn't shown up until now, he was annoyed that he thought that he would have to teach this kid a good lesson if he was so rude and turned around, if Shangguan Fumeng didn't mention it, he would have beaten him sloppily and passed it, but he didn't expect Shangguan Fumeng to mention it.

"The dog seems to be a little unwell, so he may not be able to attend the banquet, so I am here to give Miss Shangguan a glass on behalf of the dog to compensate for it." As he spoke, Kazuo Hirai raised his glass, but before he could drink the wine, he suddenly saw Ryota Hirai appear at the door of the banquet hall with a few followers, and this guy came here, wearing a standard samurai armor, and even equipped with a sword, because the surrounding retainers and servants did not dare to stop him, so he walked all the way to the center of the banquet hall.
