Zuocun sat under the cherry tree and looked at the tombstone in front of him.
"When you were alive, we never had a good drink. It was basically all the two guys, Tuoba Kondo."
He poured himself a glass of wine, another glass of wine, and placed it in front of the tombstone.
"I may not have the right to say this, but..." Zuocun took a sip of wine and looked at the tombstone seriously.
"When the matter is over, I will dig you out from under that guy Tokugawa Ishimaki's coffin."
Mainji Okina stood not far away and stared at Zuocun's back.
Zuocun continued without any notice, "I won't ask for forgiveness."
Sprinkle the glass of wine that belonged to Inoue Genzaburo on the tombstone, Zuomura poured the wine again.
"I still remember when we were in the trial hall, we met for the first time."
"You are the one with the least talk... but also the purest one."
"Tiya and Kondo have a lot of thoughts about the world, while Okita is relatively simple. Only you... are truly pursuing the strongest heart." Zuomura said while drinking all the wine.
He showed his bowl bottom toward the tombstone in the Inoue.
"I still have to continue on this path of my own, so... goodbye."
"Although I know I may not deserve this title anymore,..." Zuocun stood up and sighed, "If you have time, I will come back to accompany you, brother."
call out--
After saying this, Zuocun jumped and left.
Miss Okina stood not far behind Zuocun.
She watched Zuocun's jumping figure disappear from her vision and walked slowly to the tombstone of Genzaburo Inoue.
She looked complicated and picked up the bowl of wine that belonged to Genzaburo Inoue.
"Zuomura...Inoue..."
The purest man has been buried underground, while the walking walkers continue their own path.
So...what about me?
The moment I saw Zuocun, Okita wanted to pull out the California Kiyoshi.
But when he climbed up to the hilt of the knife of Kaikuang in California with his right hand, Okita realized that he could no longer hold the knife.
Looking at his face reflected in the drinks, Okita closed his eyes.
He drank the wine in the bowl and Kotota did not choke this time.
"What the hell should I do?"
The cherry blossoms are not blooming because it is summer now.
......
Zuocun and Ryuma have many ways to retreat in this strategy.
The order Zuomura asked Meiji to attack the shogunate would cause the war to break out, but a complete outbreak of war was the only way to go.
Now Japan is being watched by many countries, just waiting to take advantage of the opportunity. A complete war will definitely not prevent the infiltration of foreign forces.
The "Eight Strategy on the Ship" presented by Ryuma to Tokugawa Ishima is a suggestion and a warning.
The four-strong southwestern vassal states are an issue that the shogunate cannot ignore, and the things that Ryuma Sakamoto, the center of the four-strong southwestern vassal states, submitted to the Tokugawa Shogunate, in a sense, are an ultimatum.
The Tokugawa shogunate would not completely give up its rights, which was determined by the powerful vassals when negating the parliamentary system.
Longma's "Eight Strategies in the Ship" is the final forced.
Tokugawa Kiyoshi was brought down by himself and returned the power to Emperor Meiji, while Tokugawa Kiyoshi himself became a minister.
In this way, large-scale wars can be avoided, foreigners can be cut off, and at the same time, it can also follow the will of the powerful vassal in the southwest, and the shogunate will retain the last trace of face.
Now, it depends on how Tokugawa Keiki chose.
If Tokugawa Keiki returns power as Ryuma wishes and is demoted to minister, then everyone will naturally be happy.
If Tokugawa Keiki is unwilling to return the rights to the Emperor, then... it is time for Zuomura to take effect.
But life always happens unexpectedly.
......
After Takasugi Shinzuo died, he could no longer control the situation by relying solely on Junichiro Kido.
Zuocun stayed in Kyoto and had not returned for a long time, which eventually made these people feel resentful.
The Changzhou Phantava, at any time, was filled with an impulse that could not be ignored.
The sound of the collapse of force intensified.
There was a group of people who quietly avoided Junichiro Kido who was trying to control the situation and plotted against something... that could really provoke conflicts.
November.
The sound of the downward movement of force has shown an explosive growth, and Longma is extremely anxious.
Because Tokugawa Keiki was reluctant to answer, Zuocun chose to return to the southwest one step ahead of Ryuma and be prepared to start a real war at any time.
Fifteen days.
The north wind was howling because the windows were not closed when I was sleeping a few days ago, and Longma was very anxious.
Longma is sick.
Miss Aaron put Longma's head on her legs and helped Longma massage his head.
"Rongma, you have a little fever."
Miss Aaron looked at Longma worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, it'll be fine in a few days."
Longma comforted Miss Along, who was a little impatient with a wry smile.
"Ah, by the way, Miss Along, please hand me the letter Zuocun wrote to me, and I'll take a look."
Longma suggested carefully.
"It is not allowed to work now, so take good care of your illness! Longma is a good boy, be obedient!" Miss Ah Long rubbed Longma's face angrily.
"Ahhhh, OK, OK, then it won't work." Longma was a little helpless and warm.
Miss Aaron suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, Longma, you humans should have medicine."
"Hmm? Yes, what's wrong?" Longma's face turned red and his voice answered weakly.
"Because you are very sick, Miss Aaron wants you to get better and recover quickly, stupid!"
"Ahhh...even if Miss Along said that..." Longma felt Miss Along's slightly cold hands and didn't know how to answer.
"I remember that guy named Nakaoka, it seems that he was cured by eating a frog disease!"
"Uh..." Ryuma smiled awkwardly, "Nakaoka eats chicken."
The Nakaoka mentioned by Miss Aaron is a friend of Ryuma, named Shintaro Nakaoka. He also got sick a while ago.
"Then Miss Along will buy a chicken for Longma. After drinking the chicken soup, you must get better soon!"
"Well, I'm looking forward to Miss Aaron's cooking."
Miss Aaron's face turned slightly red. She touched Longma's head and gently placed Longma's head on the pillow.
"Then Longma just wait at home. Don't work secretly while Miss Ah Long is not there."
So Miss Aaron went out with great enthusiasm.
Longma listened to Miss Aaron's footsteps gradually moving away until he couldn't hear them, and quickly sat up.
"So that's the case, then work!"
He smiled, and with the light shining in the window, he picked up his pen and read Zuocun's letters.
But the windows did not shine in.
