There is no moon in the night sky today, but the stars are constantly flashing.

Zuocun sat on a big tree in Rensheng Temple, holding a bowl of sake in his hand.

A figure appeared in the courtyard.

"Here, Mr. Shannan." Zuocun noticed the figure and said to Keisuke Shannan with a slightly drunk smile.

"Is there anything wrong with Zuocun-kun-kun-kun?" Shannan Keisuke sat under the tree and asked in confusion.

Everyone in the test hall went to bed, and Zuocun suddenly called him out, and he was a little confused.

The two of them have never had any interaction in the past, but Shannan has heard of Zuocun Yu Guishou's name.

The drunk Zuocun is different from his usual indifference and seems a bit casual.

After drinking the wine in the bowl, Zuocun wiped the corner of his mouth, threw the wine bowl into the air, and then jumped off the tree.

Bang.

The wine bowl reappeared in Zuocun's hands, and Zuocun was already sitting next to Yamanan Keisuke.

"I want to ask you about Beichen's first sword." Zuomura always smiled a little, "Does Mr. Shannan know a man named Ryuma Sakamoto?"

"Junior Brother Sakamoto?" Yamanan Keisuke touched the back of his head, "I used to spend some time with Junior Brother Sakamoto when he was in the gym. What's wrong?"

"I want to ask about the whereabouts of that guy Sakamoto. When Shinoo fared that day, he said he wanted to meet in Edo, but I haven't returned to Edo for a long time, so I want to ask, Mr. Yamanan, who is also a Kitchen-like sword, do you know where he is now?"

"I'm not very clear either." Yamanan Keisuke shook his head, "I don't have much interaction with Junior Brother Sakamoto."

Yamanan Keisuke is twenty-six years old this year, three years older than Ryuma Sakamoto.

"Is that true?" Zuocun stood up.

It was originally what I remembered when I heard Yamanan Keisuke say that Beichen's sword flowing during the day, but it was expected that I could not find out. After all, Beichen's sword flowing with Qianye Zhouzuo had so many disciples, and some of them didn't even know each other.

"It's okay, please trouble you Mr. Shannan. By the way, are you drinking?" Zuocun shook his head and handed his wine bowl to Shannan for help.

"Oh? No need..." Shannanjing helped push Zuocun's wine bowl.

"Since I don't drink, I'll go back to sleep first. What a dream, Mr. Shannan." Zuocun stood up casually and walked towards the temple.

Rensheng Temple is a relatively large temple with many rooms inside. Zuocun can fall asleep by choosing one of them.

The years of wind and dining and outdoor sleeping have made Zuocun fully adapt to this ascetic life.

Yamanan Keisuke looked at Zuocun who was leaving and was stunned for a while.

Then he smiled suddenly.

"I'm still very easy-going, why am I so panicked?" Shannan Keisuke also stood up and walked towards the temple.

......

the next day.

Everyone in the Test Guard Hall and Zuocun planned to go to the river to catch fish.

Turtle noticed that Yamanan Keisuke looked a little lonely, so he also invited Yamanan Keisuke to go with him.

Since you are here to relax, it is good to meet some new friends.

Zuomura and Okita were just catching fish in a fancy way. The fish said that you were very happy but I was not happy.

After a while, several people became familiar with each other.

"How long has Mr. Yamanan been here?" Miss Okita looked at the young man with a weak temperament curiously.

"Ah, I didn't stay here for a long time." Yamanan Keisuke just smiled when asked the girl. Although the group of people in the Trial Guard seemed to be very difficult to get along with, they were actually very good people. "It just happened to meet this village when I was going out to practice. In addition, I like children more, so I stayed here for two more days."

Yamanan Keisuke looked at Zuocun, who was still jumping on the water, and then looked at Miss Okita, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"What does Mr. Shannan want to ask?"

"That, I want to ask, the one you two yesterday..."

He refers to the super jumping force that was obviously wrong with Zuocun and the one that Miss Okita disappeared and appeared again.

But Okina didn't understand.

“Which?”

"That's it, that, uh Zuocun-kun jumped so high, and the one you caught Takaji..." Shannan Keisuke gestured.

Takaji was the little boy who broke free from Zuocun's arms yesterday and was saved by Okita.

"Ah, are you talking about Mr. Zuocun's stagnation and my shrinking ground?" Miss Okina understood what Shannan was talking about.

"Is it called stagnation of the air and shrinking the ground? It's such a magical means..."

"It's not a magical method." Toshikazu Yoshizo walked over from behind, "Our owner, Kondo Shusuke, said that if we work harder, it's possible to use it."

"Yes, it's just a sword skill." Okita nodded.

Shannan Keisuke:...Don't scare me.

"Tiyao, Shimazaki." Inoue walked over from the direction of the village.

His eyes were a little serious.

"What's wrong with Inoue? Why is it so serious?" Shimazaki came over.

"When I was chatting with the villagers just now, the people in the village mentioned something."

Seeing that Inoue Genzaburo was so serious, Tuoka and Shimazaki also left the pleasure of the holiday and came over.

"What the hell happened?" Tu Fang was puzzled.

"Although it is not directly related to us, I think it should be said." Inoue sighed, "The chief of the old master, Abe Masahiro, was assassinated in his own home."

Standing on the shore, Zuo Village heard the name Abe Masahiro and turned his head to look.

Both Yushimazaki and Yuzumi Toshiba fell into silence.

"Master said that as samurai, we should care about some national affairs, and this matter... I feel that it may be related to some of our future, so I rushed over." Inoue looked at the two tall young men and asked, "I remember you talked about this."

"Tuka?" Shimazaki Yuu looked at Toshiba Yoshimi, "What do you think?"

"......Abe Masahiro was assassinated. Is there any other information?" Toshiba Suizo frowned.

In this decadent shogunate, he is most optimistic about it, Masahiro Abe, but now...

"No, it's just a few words, no persuasion at all." Inoue shook his head.

"So..." Tuyasu sighed.

He and Yu Shimazaki had talked a lot, but the two of them had a very consistent thought.

The shogunate is undoubtedly corrupt.

However, since it is decay, then find a way to treat it.

Tuoba and Shimazaki just want to be this good medicine.

Yamanan Keisuke and Okita Headmaster were both pondering.

Zuocun looked at the sudden silent people, and wanted to speak but stopped.
