"I admire it very much," Sakamoto Ryoma replied and asked tentatively, "I don't know if you have any advice?" ”

"I've all the long hairs in Jiangsu." Guan Zhuofan seemed to say to himself, "But there are still a lot of unused arms piled up in Shanghai, which are tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon them!" After thinking about it, I went back to find two boats and loaded them, and threw them into the sea. ”

When the three Japanese heard this, they were all shocked--whether it was Sakamoto's Kameyama team, or the Choshu Domain's Strange Soldiers, or the Satsuma Domain's land support team, what was most lacking was guns and ammunition. At this time, he was "struggling" and cut off the deal with foreigners. Listening to Guan Zhuofan's tone, could it be that he intended to give away these two ships of arms?

The three of them all thought that he was the imperial guard of the Qing Kingdom, and they heard that in the coup d'état three years ago, he made a great effort, so he was naturally a royalist faction. The so-called "spinning the world and maintaining orthodoxy without falling", aren't we in the same vein? If you catch this line and have China's material resources to help, then great things will be done!

I can't help but be overjoyed at this thought, but this Marquis Guan has tried his best to come here, and there is no reason to send it away in vain, there must be a major request. So the three of them looked at each other, and Sakamoto asked, "It's a pity to throw these things away...... I don't know what it takes to see these two ships? ”

"I sailed all the way to Nagasaki this time, and I saw a few small islands in between," Guan Zhuofan still replied, "It looks really good." ”

How many islands? The three of them turned their minds, and Saigo Takamori asked, "May I ask which islands are the ones that Marquis Guan has a crush on?" ”

"Huh? I've been drinking too much today, and I don't know what I'm talking about. Guan Zhuofan was asked by him. It seems to have come to an abrupt realization. Looked around. sighed, "There are a lot of people here, it's really lively." Now that I've watched the play and drunk the wine, it's better to go back to my Pujiang. It's just a long night, and it's quite difficult. ”

"Why don't you ask Miss Hanako to accompany Guan Hou Ye back?" Sakamoto Ryoma's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "There are beauties with you." Or you can talk about the comfort pillow mat. ”

"What a beauty!" Guan Zhuofan shook his head and smiled, "I, Guan Mou, only respect heroes in my life, and unfortunately there is no one to talk about the night!" Why don't you go back! Why don't you go back! ”

After that, he got up and walked out like this.

Xu Silin said in his heart, Lord Qincha really came and went in a hurry, and after sitting for less than half a point, he was about to leave, and hurriedly joined a few people in Tulin. Follow out the door. The pro-soldiers who surrounded the Crane Pavilion, with Túrin's orders. In an instant, the whole team was completed, surrounded by Guan Zhuofan, and returned to the dock all the way.

After having dinner on the ship, Thurin took people and sorted out the large dining room on the ship, modeled after the pattern in the crane pavilion, set up cases on both sides, and arranged a personal soldier to be on duty at each of the four corners of the dining room.

Guan Zhuofan came in, looked around, nodded, and said to Wan'er behind him: "I want to entertain guests at night, and the tea will be served by you." After saying this, he didn't care about Thurin and Wan'er, he went to sit behind the case on one side, holding his forehead and pondering.

It was already dark, and there was silence except for the sound of the waves crashing against the hull. However, this quiet atmosphere did not last long, and soon Túrin came in to report.

"Master, those three Japanese are here." Túrin whispered, "It's a dinghy." ”

"Please," this was expected, Guan Zhuofan nodded quietly, "Let the boatman tie the boat, and beckon him to come up for a cup of tea." ”

After a while, I heard a crowd of footsteps, and as soon as the door of the dining room opened, Túrin led Ryoma Sakamoto, Takamori Saigo, and Shintaro Nakaoka in.

"The minister does not lose his body, and the king does not lose his country." Guan Zhuofan changed his wild style during the day, bowed his hand, and said solemnly, "If you want to talk about big things, I can't help but make such an arrangement, since the three of you have a good heart, you won't blame me." ”

In this way, it is more and more sincere. Sakamoto Ryoma bowed as a return salute and said, "This is the matter entrusted by the Hou Ye with his confidants, no matter how strict it is, it should be." The three of us are here, and no one knows, please rest assured! ”

Sakamoto's words, Guan Zhuofan can trust, because for them, this is a big thing, and the less one person knows, the less risk there is.

"I don't have any wine here," Guan Zhuofan invited the three of them to sit down and beckoned, "Wan'er, pour tea for the three adults." ”

When the three Japanese saw Wan'er, their eyes lit up, and Sakamoto smiled even more: "No wonder Marquis Guan doesn't want Miss Hanako to accompany him, it turns out that there is already such a stunning concubine to serve him." ”

When Wan'er saw these three people in strange costumes, she knew that they were not Chinese, but she didn't expect to be able to speak Chinese. Although they felt that they were quite rude in saying this, since they were the lord's guests, they didn't dare to say anything, so they poured tea for them in a proper manner, and then retreated to the side with a red face. But I don't know that in the eyes of the Japanese, women have no status at all, just like an object, so they have no scruples when they speak.

"Sakamoto-san teased," Guan Zhuofan said, "this is one of my maids." ”

"Oh." Sakamoto Ryoma didn't care, took a sip of tea, and was anxious to get down to business, "Guan Hou Ye, if you can really give away the weapons of Shanghai, after the matter is completed, Emperor Bixia will never let Hou Ye fall through - I just don't know if this is the meaning of your imperial court, or ......"

"It's my own meaning." Guan Zhuofan said calmly, "Guan Mou admires the loyal ministers and righteous people the most, and he will never hesitate to help wherever he can." As for the fact that after the matter is completed, if the emperor Bixia has a gift, Guan naturally does not dare to refuse. ”

Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori have already discussed, and if they say that they will cut the island and give it away, they will never want to. But for now, you might as well promise him first, and when it comes to the day when it happens, you can just think of another way to prevaricate, anyway, there is no evidence, what can he say? At most, it's two parties emotional intelligence, and it's good to give more money.

In that case, it is even more important to talk about it now.

"Guan Hou Ye, I don't know which small islands have fallen into Hou Ye's eyes?" Saigo Takamori asked, "Please open a list and come down as a proof in the future." ”

"Not busy, not busy," Guan Zhuofan shook his head and said, "We have an old Chinese saying - before the matter is finished, the first credit, the gentleman does not do it." I'd like to hear what the plans are for a few of them. ”

So I listened to these two famous Japanese in history, sitting in front of them, and talking about how Japan was backward, how the shogunate was incompetent, how the island nation was self-reliant, and how the old law became a new law.

"It's really talented, Guan has been taught a lot." Guan Zhuofan looked at Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, I wonder if there are such clear-minded but hard-working talents in China now?

"Don't dare to be." Sakamoto said with a smile, "Compared with Guan Houye, we are nothing." ”

"By the way," Guan Zhuofan remembered one thing and asked with great interest, "The name of the Muramasa Demon Knife, I've heard it for a long time, but I haven't really seen it, I don't know if I can borrow it to take a look?" ”

Although this request is a little abrupt, how can it be refused in this situation? Sakamoto Ryoma and Saigo Takamori both untied the small sword they were wearing, but after all, they didn't want to hand it over to Guan Zhuofan's personal soldiers, looked left and right, looked at Wan'er and smiled: "Just ask this girl to present it to Master Hou." ”

Only Nakaoka shook his head and said hesitantly: "Master Guan, we warriors, no, the sword is off...... The knife is in the people, and the knife is dead. ”

"That's as it should be." Guan Zhuofan nodded, pointed to Túrin and a few of his own soldiers, and said with a smile, "Although I don't have a knife, a few of them are my knives." If you want them to go away, don't say whether I am willing or not, but I am afraid that they will refuse first. ”

After making this joke, he took the two knives that Wan'er carefully held, put them on the case in front of him, waved his hand gently, and asked Wan'er to retreat first, and then pulled out the knife.

As soon as the knife came out of the sheath, the cold light was cold, and it was extremely sharp. The knife body is decorated with gorgeous patterns, and the inscription of the knife is indeed the word "Muramasa".

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, my knife is engraved with the words "Guan San Zhuofan".

"The Muramasa Demon Knife is really a sharp weapon in the world!" Guan Zhuofan looked at the blade of the knife carefully and said slowly, "But Sakamoto-san, I heard that this knife is hindering the master, are you afraid that it will be ominous?" ”

"If you want to interfere, it's just a matter of harming the Tokugawa family." Ryoma Sakamoto replied, "What's more, if our brother does such a thing, life and death have long been put aside, and if we can seek benevolence, it will also be a happy thing!" ”

"I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day and month of the same year!" Guan Zhuofan said admiringly, "This is the story of Taoyuan's three knots!" Mr. Sakamoto is naturally Uncle Liu Huang, Xixiang-san is naturally Guan Yunchang, Nakaoka-san is naturally Zhang Yide, Kuang Fu Han Room, Yi Bo Yuntian, and the three of them are exactly the same thing as what they want to do now. ”

"Marquis Guan has won the award," Guan Zhuofan compared them to Liu Guanzhang, which was extremely high praise, Sakamoto Ryoma's eyes lit up, but his mouth couldn't help but be inferior, "How dare we compare with Liu Guanzhang and the three adults." ”

"In short, it is a kind of love, and we have to die together." Guan Zhuofan said with embarrassment, "I don't know now, which of you plans to die first?" ”
