Space-time SWAT

Kanako Kagawa brought Shimizu Ryuhyo to a huge mansion, which reminded Shimizu Ryuhyo of the mansion she used to do the mission for the first time—An Guogong Mansion.

Entering the antique and heavily guarded gate, the inside is like a small grand view garden. There are mountains, waters and gardens among the simple and beautiful houses, and the pavilions are dotted among them, which is very beautiful.

This is the first time that Shimizu Ryuhyo has come to the main house of the Asano family, and it is quite an eye-opener.

According to his understanding, the current Chinese Federation also retains many ancient buildings, unlike the original world, most of which have been destroyed by war.Especially the imperial palaces in Beijing and Nanjing, as well as the ancestral residences of the major royal families and noble families, are all well preserved.Although some of them were damaged during the war, famous craftsmen with five elements and eight works were hired to rebuild them after the war. Basically, they were restored as they were. The royal family and aristocratic families also paid great attention to protection when they lived in them, and they were never damaged.Now, these ancient buildings all over the land of China have become scenic spots and cultural heritage, attracting countless experts from all over the world to study, and many tourists to visit the periphery.

When the car was parked in the parking lot next to the door, the light rain that had been raining for most of the day had stopped.Shimizu Liubing got off the car and followed Kanako Kagawa along the patterned stone road.

Hiroshi Asano welcomed the arrival of Qingshui Liubing very much. As soon as he heard the report from the security guard at the gate, he came out and met them on a small carved arch bridge.He wears a toga with large sleeves from the Wei and Jin Dynasties of China, a high crown on his head, and wooden clogs with movable teeth, the legendary "Xie Gong Clogs".

He smiled gently and said: "It's rare for Mr. Qingshui to come, so hurry up and change your clothes. Today is the birthday of my good friend Xiangchuan. We invited some friends over to imitate the ancient literati in Huaguo. It is very interesting. Qingshui Jun is an expert in this area, and you just happened to come to Fukuoka, so you must have this kind of elegance."

Shimizu Liuhyo showed some interest, "Of course. I have only heard of such gatherings before, and I haven't participated in them yet. Today, I borrowed the light of Asano-kun and Kagawa-kun, and let me learn a lot and open my eyes. ,It's my pleasure."

"You're welcome." Hiroshi Asano led the two of them to the front of a row of Japanese bungalows, made a gesture of invitation, and left gracefully.

There are male and female servants serving in the room, as well as stylists, make-up artists, costumers and so on.Seeing them coming in, the servant stepped forward politely and led the two to the men's and women's areas respectively.Stylists, makeup artists, and costume artists will quickly select clothes according to the image and temperament of the guests and help them dress up.

Qingshui Liubing's predecessor had been to the Wei-Jin style world to perform missions more than once, and each time he was born in a high-class noble family, so in his memory, he has the original Wei-Jin style.The so-called "mostly the southern dynasties are broad-minded, but the poor eastern Jin Dynasty is the most romantic", if there is no deep experience and understanding, modern people can only get the shape, but not the spirit.

Looking at the robes brought by the costumer and the accessories matched by the stylist, he didn't accept all of them. Instead, he only kept the clothes and trousers, and changed all of them, such as crowns, shoes, socks, accessories, wigs, etc.He didn't need their help, he went to the locker room alone, and put on all the clothes skillfully, without any mistakes in his body.

He performed a few standard etiquettes of the Wei and Jin Dynasties in front of the full-length mirror, and his demeanor completely changed, as if he was a high-class gentry of that period.As soon as he flicked his long sleeves, he walked out slowly, and the skeptical stylists, costumers and makeup artists outside were stunned for a while.He smiled slightly, raised his hand as a peer salute to them, and then walked out, turning a deaf ear to the sudden sound of praise behind him.

A male servant took him to the meeting place. It was like walking through a garden along the way, passing through one moon gate after another, passing one beautiful scene after another, and finally arrived at the place where the water features converge.

There are rockeries, ponds, flowers and trees, and a winding and clear river flows through it, which is very like a peach blossom garden. More than 20 men dressed in Wei and Jin costumes are scattered on both sides of the river, sitting or standing, leaning on rockery or leaning against willow trees, leisurely.At first glance, it seems to have traveled to the Wei and Jin Dynasties in ancient China, making people wonder where it is today.

With a smile on his face, Qingshui Liubing walked over at a leisurely pace as he divided the flowers and brushed the willows, his clothes fluttering.

Everyone looked at him, but most of them didn't know him, they asked in admiration, "Who is that?"

Hiroshi Asano turned his head to look, quickly got up to greet them, and then introduced them one by one.There were people from all walks of life present, underground associations and Interpol, business tycoons and military and political officials, famous family heads, aristocratic sons, civilian elites, and so on.These people's family backgrounds, growth experiences, and occupations are very different. The only thing they have in common is that they are all excellent, and they all like Chinese and Japanese traditional cultures, so they share a common language. At this moment, they are all together and look very harmonious.

Although Qingshui Liubing is just the owner of a small gallery, and an orphan, from a grassroots background, he does not show timidity at all, greets the guests one by one, and behaves smoothly and smoothly, which is pleasing to the eye.

Hiroshi Asano then arranged for him to sit next to Yusuke Kagawa.He is the elder brother of Kanako Kagawa, who looks about 30 years old, with a handsome appearance, a strong figure, piercing eyes, and a firm and upright temperament.

Qing Shui Liubing agreed, and sat cross-legged on the straw mat in front of the antique tables, then casually lifted the hem of the robe and flicked it forward to cover her legs.His back is not straight, he looks a little lazy, but he is not decadent, and he has a very romantic style of Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Kagawa Yusuke looked at him appreciatively, smiled and said: "Although it's the first time we met, I've admired you for a long time. Shimizu-kun is really gentle, and then a gentleman, you have a different demeanor."

"Kagawa-kun has won the award." Shimizu Liubing bowed to him humbly, "I have also heard a little about Kagawa-kun's deeds. Now that I see it, it is really better to see it than to hear it. Meeting is better than being famous. I am just a corner, Living a mediocre life is not worth mentioning. Mr. Xiangchuan also helps the world and benefits the people, which is admirable."

"Don't dare." Kagawa Yusuke raised his glass to him, "Kanako has caused you trouble, I would like to offer you a toast, please bear with me."

Shimizu Liubing raised his glass with both hands, met with him, then slowly drank the wine in the glass, put the glass on the table, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiangchuan is a kind-hearted person, it is really rare, and she didn't cause me any trouble , Kagawa-kun is serious."

The two have been being polite to each other, and Hiroshi Asano couldn't stand it any longer, "The people who come here are all friends, you two, don't be too polite, so as not to spoil everyone's interest."

The two looked at each other and smiled, then looked at Hiroshi Asano together, and said at the same time: "Yes."

The rest of the time is easy.All the people who gather here are men, and women set up another place in the garden next to it, and there are also curved water cups.Occasionally, you can vaguely hear the movement on the other side, but you can't see anyone.The servants also wore the costumes of ancient maids and attendants, shuttled back and forth between the banquets, and served the guests.

The partygoers are very casual.If a wine glass floats in front of anyone and stops spinning, he will take it himself, or a maid or attendant will fish it out and offer it. After drinking, that person must compose poems, play the piano, blow the flute, or write and draw. Three glasses of fine.There will be no coercion and no repudiation.

It was Qingshui Liubing's turn three times.After drinking from the cup, he first wrote Su Shi's "Evening View of the Spring River in Hui Chong" in Yan style. The calligraphy works approaching the master level won applause from all the halls, and aroused some guests' appetite for fugu, which made Hiroshi Asano embarrassed.The second time, he wanted to come to Guqin and played a song "Mountain Drifting Ice", which also attracted praise from everyone.For the third time, he drew a piece of "A Picture of Leisurely Traveling in Spring" in the freehand style of Chinese traditional Chinese painting. He wrote down this scene, and even attracted competition. Everyone wanted to collect it. birthday gift.

Whether writing or painting in clear water or flowing ice, or playing the piano and drinking wine, every move is as beautiful as poetry and picturesque.Kagawa Yusuke, like everyone else, often looked at him with admiring eyes, especially secretly paying attention to his hands.

Qingshui Liubing's hands are slender and graceful, with delicate skin. There is not a gun callus visible, but there are thin calluses left by long-term string picking and calligraphy practice on the fingertips.These are the hands of a pair of scholars, not the hands of a top sniper ace.

Thinking of his little sister's whimsy, Kagawa Yusuke couldn't help but smile.Young people always have a lot of ideas, dare to think and do, and will persist even if it is unimaginable. This is not a bad thing, and he will not hit the little girl too much.In the past, Kagawa Kanako's detective agency repeatedly solved cases, recovered stolen money for the parties involved, rescued kidnapped people, and did a lot of good deeds, relying on her intuition many times.Kagawa Yusuke admires the little girl very much, and thinks she has talent in this area, so he often considers her opinions, even if it turns out that she is wrong, he never criticizes, only encourages.

Now he thinks that Qingshui Liubing is not suspected of committing the crime, so he appreciates his knowledge and character, and gets closer to him, basically treating him as a friend.Qingshui Liubing was naturally keenly aware of the subtle changes in his attitude, so he reciprocated and was very kind to him, conveying in words and deeds that he didn't mind the rude attitude his little sister had once had.

In a cheerful atmosphere, everyone had dinner together before they parted ways.

Shimizu Ryuhyo changed back to her clothes, said goodbye to Hiroshi Asano and Yusuke Kagawa, and walked to the parking lot.

It was dusk now, garden lights were lit up everywhere, Shimizu Liubing was a little surprised to see Kanako Kagawa standing next to his car.He paused for a moment, then walked over generously, and said with a smile, "Miss Xiangchuan is going back too? I'll see you off."

There was a blush on Kagawa Kanako's cheeks, which set off her delicate skin, her eyes were rolling, and her feminine temperament was weakened a lot, making her look charming and charming.She leaned lazily against the car and spoke slowly, "I drank too much alcohol and can't ride. My brother has something to say to Asano-kun and won't go back for now. I have to ask Shimizu-kun to send me off. Thank you very much." .”

"You're welcome, it's a great honor." Qing Shui Liubing opened the car door and politely made a gesture of invitation.

Kagawa Kanako almost fell into the back seat of the car, half lying on the seat and not moving.The carriage was soon filled with a faint smell of alcohol and perfume, creating a charming atmosphere.

With a calm demeanor, Qingshui Liubing started the car and drove out of the gate before asking, "Where is Miss Xiangchuan going?"

Kanako Kagawa reported the address in a daze, and Shimizu Ryuhyo turned around and drove in another direction of the city.
