067 Big wedding one

  "Haha, Father-in-law, don't say that. I, your son-in-law, had no choice but to resort to this." Just as Xia Yuhe and her father were talking and hadn't escaped yet, Mao San pushed the door open and came in with Zhang San.

  "Third Master, please spare our lives, ah? I'm begging you on my knees, please...please..." Xia Laozhang knelt down with a thud in front of Mao San and kept kowtowing to him.

  Mao San looked up at Xia Yuhe, who was still kneeling on the ground kowtowing. Xia Yuhe also stared back at Mao San without showing any weakness.

  "Mao San, are you still human? Letting an old man kneel down for you, aren't you afraid of shortening your lifespan?"

  "Shorten my lifespan? Do you know what my current identity is? Officially, I'm called a Special Envoy, but if you want to be unpleasant, you can call me a traitor, or even more unpleasantly, a running dog. You think I'm still afraid of shortening my lifespan?" Mao San spat out a smoke ring and looked at Xia Yuhe.

  "You..."

  Mao San pretended to help Old Man Xia up and patted the dust off his clothes, wiping his forehead. "My old Tai Shan, you can't do this, I'm your son-in-law, how could I let you kneel for me? Zhang San, hurry up and help Master sit down."

  "It's Third Master." Zhang San pulled and dragged Xia Lao to sit on the chair. "Someone, bring tea for Old Man Xia, and some pastries."

  "You and your daughter continue to chat, tomorrow you will be my formal father-in-law. I still have something to do, so I won't stay here any longer. We'll see each other at the wedding banquet tomorrow." Ma San said as he took Zhang San out, just stepping out of the door and turning his head back to say, "Oh, right. Outside, I've arranged for dozens of people to keep an eye on you, so don't think about running away. And I've also called over the best doctor in Qingyang Town to wait outside, so it's not easy to die either. Xia Jie, just be my obedient bride-to-be, haha!"

  Ma San laughed loudly and left the room.

  "Third Master, where are we going?"

  "We went to the regimental camp and asked Lieutenant-Colonel Takagi to be my best man."

  "Third Master is indeed Third Master, even the host has been invited, I admire him."

  "Stop flattering and hurry up to prepare the invitation cards and gifts."

  "Report." Mao San tidied up his clothes outside the door and also tidied up the big red wedding invitation and gift in his hand.

  "Come in."

  "Report to the battalion commander, Mao San is back."

  "Mr. Mao, where have you been these past few days?"

  "Report to the battalion commander." Mao San put the invitation and gift on the table, "I've been busy with some personal matters recently, I didn't ask for leave from you, I came to apologize."

  "First tell me what you went to do."

  The little man is getting married.

  "Oh." Takagi finally put down his brush and picked up the invitation, "Tomorrow?"

  "Yes, Commander of the United Fleet, I have an impolite request, I don't know..."

  "Say."

  "The little man wants you to be his best man tomorrow."

  "Good." Mao San didn't expect Takagi to agree so easily. "But I have a condition, and that is to marry Hanae Kaori tomorrow as well."

  "This..."

  "Is there a problem?" Takagi looked at Mao San with an eye that seemed to be sizing him up.

  "No, nothing." Mao San was stared at by Takagi and couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead.

  "That's good, I will definitely go tomorrow."

  "Thank you, Captain Renjo. I will be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and to Governor-General Takagi."

  "Go ahead." Takagi didn't say another word and sent Mōsuke away. Then he turned around and said to the screen behind him, "Miss Yamashima, you can come out now."
