Masahiro Abe sat very well in his main hall.
He looked in his thirties, wearing loose Wu clothes and a serious expression.
Although he is no longer the first to the old Chinese, the momentum that was once below one person and above ten thousand people remained.
Sitting opposite him was Zuocun.
The two of them looked at each other, and the air seemed to be frozen.
There was no third person on the scene, and Masahiro Abe ordered them to go somewhere else.
Abe Masahiro looked at Zuocun's overly young face and spoke.
"I didn't expect that the famous Japanese Hokage Sword, Anno Zuomura, was so young." His eyes were sharp, with scrutiny and correctness, "Should it be said... young and promising?"
Zuocun is indeed not old, he is only eighteen years old.
Zuocun looked at Masahiro Abe who was sitting opposite him expressionlessly.
Generally speaking, the sword is to be confiscated when you let the warrior enter the door.
But Abe Masahiro abnormally asked Zuomura to sit opposite him with a knife.
......Do you have absolute confidence in your own strength?
"I'm sorry, Lord Abe." Zuocun bowed slightly.
No matter what, Masahiro Abe is a very high-profile person among the current Japanese ruling class, so he still needs the respect he should give.
"Sir Abe, I'm looking for it. Is there anything wrong?"
"Or, I just want to see, a warrior who killed the monster?"
Abe Masahiro's heart is as calm as water.
Smile slightly.
"I just want to ask how the powerful samurai, the Holy Ghost Slayer, view the current situation in Japan."
He stretched out a finger, his arms were thick and there were calluses on his hands, so he probably practiced swordsmanship: "I am a person who likes to make friends very much."
"But... ordinary people won't be my friends."
"Strong people usually have more thoughts, so, Can Zuocun Annuo answer my question?"
He thought about it and added: "As for the fact that you killed the Tianyin ghost... I still know the existence of monsters."
Zuocun looked at the sturdy middle-aged man and thought.
Masahiro Abe is the most courageous person Zuomura has ever seen.
"I can answer you, but you have to tell me one thing."
"I'm very good at solving doubts, let's talk." Abe Masahiro smiled.
"That's... do you really have the attitude towards foreigners that you want to kill them all?"
Masahiro Abe was stunned and his serious face suffused: "What a sharp problem."
He coughed twice: "So, based on the truth, I will tell you what I think."
"But, rules must be there."
Masahiro Abe stretched out his finger and pointed to the ceiling of the room: "Don't take today's words out of this room."
"That's my rule."
Zuocun nodded: "I understand."
He asked this question because Masahiro Abe is an open expeller, but his actions reveal many other meanings.
Promote Western artillery and ease the ban on the construction of large ships.
Many signs indicate that this openly expelled barbarians seems to be... not so expelled barbarians?
"I'll answer you, Anno Zuomura." Abe Masahiro sighed lightly, "Although I can have many ideas, as a faction leader, I must make a gesture in order to survive smoothly in this officialdom."
"Does the position of the old and middle-aged man to a moderate person like Horita Masamu?" Zuomura suddenly asked something that seemed offensive.
But Masahiro Abe didn't care, just nodded: "What the ruler pursues is not the correct idea, but the balance."
"My thoughts, what I have to say, do not belong to the moderates, nor to the expulsion of the barbarians. The actual leader of the expulsion of the barbarians should be the guy Tokugawa Shiaki."
"As for giving up Masamu Horita... it was a helpless move."
Masahiro Abe put his hand on his knees, his expression was a little depressed: "At that time, I was forced to make a statement to the general and dismissed the two weak guys, Matsuhei Shizuki and Tadyuki, who were weak, and they were instantly in a state of chaos in the court."
"In order to stabilize the situation, the general and I chose to push Masamu Horita to the position of the first position of the old Chinese.
"But... the radical expelling faction, the moderate founding faction... haha, in my opinion, there is no absolute thought."
Masahiro Abe stood up, walked to the bed, and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"My name and I, who were demoted to the countryside a long time ago, were actually a kind of person."
"It is necessary to find a country." He lowered his head, raised his head suddenly, and clenched his fists, "But it is also necessary to expel the barbarians!"
"So, Annuo Zuocun, can you tell me your thoughts?"
"A strong person is not a decisive factor, but it is definitely an important factor. Your strength is enough to kill the big monster Tianying ghost." Masahiro Abe looked bright and turned his head to look at Zuocun. "There are no few sword techniques at this level in Japan, so... I think it is necessary to know your position."
Now Abe Masahiro gives Zuocun the feeling that he is actually very dull.
"State... Founding a country? The country has been forced to open up. Is it also called expelling the barbarians when facing foreigners?"
Zuocun laughed.
"..." Masahiro Abe didn't say anything, just looked at Zuocun.
"My position..." Zuocun's broken hair covered his eyes.
"I am only on the side of change, as for the shogunate..."
"Old Master Abe, you are a respectable person, but..." Zuomura also stood up, "The shogunate... is no longer saved."
"...I don't think so." Abe Masahiro said, "The shogunate should not be defeated."
The two looked at each other.
"I can only say that I will not be your enemy." Zuomura sighed, "or my thoughts are a bit similar to yours, but I will never stand on the side of the shogunate."
"...Is that true?" Masahiro Abe was still serious.
"Then, let me try it a little..." Abe Masahiro's shadow began to gather a little, "Can you survive in the troubled times in the future..."
"It may be a good excuse not to stand on the side of the shogunate, but as long as you stand on the land of Japan and are not used by me... you are almost destined to be my enemy."
Masahiro Abe looks a little sorry.
"Today... I had a great time chatting. I understand your thoughts, but..."
"Try to walk out of this room alive." Abe Masahiro's eyes were sharp.
Zuocun smiled casually and placed his hand on the hilt of the knife.
"Then...I'll try it."
Several figures suddenly emerged from Abe Masahiro's shadow.
