Okada Izo heard that all the clans were taking action, and Ryoma seemed to have returned, so he followed the rumors and returned to Tosa to see if he could find Ryoma.
Then he found it.
The two have been good friends since childhood, and both have very humble status. One inherited his father's ashigaru status, and the other is an ordinary country scholar, although this country scholar is very rich.
"I really don't know how well that soft-footed shrimp is now, and I don't know if that strange woman continues to follow Ryoma to protect him." Izo walked towards Ryoma's residence, muttering to himself as he walked.
.
In the past two years, Okada has gone out to practice swordsmanship, and he has developed a lot of strength.
There is no master swordsmanship, but rather a combination of the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.
To put it simply, Okada knows a little bit of each swordsmanship, but is not proficient in it.
But these are nothing to Okada Izo.
After all - he just needs to be able to kill people.
His sword was only trained to kill people.
"Ah, the lights are still on." From outside the door, you can see that there are still lights on in the private residence where Ryoma lives. Someone should be at home.
"I haven't seen you for a while." Yi Zang smiled and knocked on the door of Ryoma's house.
"Is there anyone? Hey! Ryoma, it's me."
A rustling sound came, and Ryoma couldn't help but smile when he heard the familiar voice: "It looks like someone familiar is here."
"Who is it?" Zuo Cun felt that the voice was a little strange and couldn't help but ask.
He has been in Tosa for a while, and he knows basically everyone who is slightly famous.
It can be said that Ryoma's acquaintances are his acquaintances.
"That's one of the people on the list we made two days ago." Ryoma stood up and stretched his neck, "Let me bring him here first."
"Yeah." Zuo Cun nodded and continued to write something with his head down.
He and Ryoma have been discussing the following matters. The purpose of establishing the Qinwang Party is very clear, which is to pass on the idea of "repelling the foreigners" to the shogunate.
After discussion, Zuocun and Ryoma also realized that blindly denying "rejection of foreigners" is as incorrect as "rejection of foreigners" itself. This is the trend of the times.
The two came to the conclusion together: Repelling the foreigners was not the result, but the process, and the ultimate goal was to achieve the national revolution of Japan.
To put it simply, the power of two people cannot do much. What needs to be done at the moment is to control Tosa's loyalists and make a decision before taking action.
To this end, Zuocun and Ryoma made a plan.
"When King Jin of the feudal dynasty ascends to the throne of Zuishan in the military city to promote the fight against the barbarians, the imperial court and shogunate will definitely respond. However, the public and military combined faction will firmly oppose it. At that time, they will promote support for the barbarians in Tosa and summon people with lofty ideals."
There is also a supplementary clause, which was added by Wu Shi Ruishan himself.
"If King Qin's party leader Wu Shi becomes disloyal, he must supervise Wu Shi and if necessary... order him to commit suicide."
The King Qin Party is undoubtedly a radical force, and those conservative old guys from the public-military integration faction will definitely look for opportunities to kill the King Qin Party.
So... the Qinwang Party, from beginning to end, was just a pawn, a pawn to confuse the public and cover up Tosa's true thoughts, except for the addition of Takeichi Mizuzan, a person who was willing to become a pawn.
This is the road chosen by Takeshi Ruishan to save the country, and Zuocun and Ryoma naturally have no reason to stop it.
While Zuo Cun was still thinking, Ryoma had already returned with Okada Izo.
Okada is not very tall because of his stature. He has a black haircut and looks not very energetic.
Zuo Cun looked up and the two of them looked at each other.
"Ryoma, is there anyone else? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Izo looked at the stranger Zuo Cun, feeling a little awkward.
Miss Aaron, who was lying on one side, was woken up and found Yi Zang.
"Oh! It's Yizang!" Miss Aaron was happy to see someone familiar, and she jumped up to Ryoma's side.
"What? This woman is still here." Okada Izo couldn't help but shrink his neck. He was often beaten by Miss Aaron in the past. Although he had already practiced swordsmanship, he was still frightened when he saw Miss Aaron.
But you still need to be tough-talking.
"Why don't you introduce me, Sakamoto?" Zuomura forced a smile on his lips and asked Ryoma.
"Ryoma needs no introduction. I am Okada Izo. Who are you?" Okada Izo curled his lips.
Ryoma couldn't help but laugh and took a step back.
He is now looking forward to what Okada Izo will do next.
"Ryoma has bad intentions." Miss Aaron stared at Ryoma.
"Shh, don't talk." Ryoma put his finger in front of his mouth to signal Miss Aaron to keep quiet.
"You are the Okada Izo. I heard about you from Ryoma's mouth." Zuomura stood up and stretched out his hand to Okada Izo.
But Okada Izo did not hold it, but looked at Zuomura with provocative eyes.
"Before we shake hands, shouldn't we introduce ourselves?"
"This is Zuocun Annuo." Zuocun didn't pay attention.
Okada Izo nodded, took Zuomura's hand and shook it.
"So, who are you? Why do you appear at Ryoma's house?"
Zuo Cun looked a little surprised.
Over the past few years, every samurai in Japan can recognize him by looking at his sword, let alone him saying his name.
I don’t know the samurai from Zuocun, this is the first time I met him.
Zuo Cun was also a little happy to see him.
"As you can see, Sakamoto and I are friends, and we are also partners in struggle together." Zuomura showed a rare smile and introduced himself in a formal manner.
"That's it." Okada Izo looked at Zuo Cun's harmless smiling face and felt a little unhappy.
Okada Izo was neglected and looked a little decadent.
Zuo Cun, on the other hand, has a straight face and neat hair, and looks much more attractive than him.
"You guys are a samurai, right?" Okada Izo said without knowing what was going on.
Zuo Cun smiled and nodded.
"Hey Ryoma, do you have any objection?" Okada Izo became excited when he heard that Samura was also a samurai.
He is now very confident in his own strength, so confident that he is a little inflated.
"No problem." Ryoma also smiled, "Be careful with your actions. After all, you are my important friend."
