"Ahh - Shiki Kayama screamed and woke up.

"Damn it!" Thinking that he had another nightmare that he had been ashamed of in his life, Shiki Kayama was furious.

For the last crucial naval battle of the Battle of Moswan, the "Battle of the Ryukyu Sea," Shikinori Kayama was a first-hand witness, and many Japanese "patriots" complained about the fact that the ironclad ship "Ryuchamp" "surrendered with all the bullets" in the final naval battle, believing that the "Ryuchamp" should not surrender, and people rarely knew that the surrender of the officers and men of the "Ryuchamp" had a great deal to do with Shiki Kayama.

It was the Kayama Shikini who had ordered the interception of the Qianguo merchant ships and the shelling of the Qianguo port (which ended up hitting the foreign embassy area) and wasted a large amount of shells, so that the "Longxiang" ran out of ammunition soon after the fierce battle in the face of the Qianguo Ship Administration and Naval Division, and the officers and men on the ship had no choice but to surrender.

And at such a moment, as the supreme governor, Shikiri Kayama asked them, who were already equivalent to their bare hands, to "be loyal to the country"! And scolded them for being "greedy for life and afraid of death", and for being "dry agents"! It's a "traitor"!

It is understandable that Shikinori Kayama was thus tied up by angry Japanese sailors and stuffed with stinky socks in his mouth.

He got up in hatred, suspecting that it might be a nightmare from this "damn warship", and he put on his clothes again, and left the cabin and went to the deck.

After completing the exercise, the "Fuso" approached the berth, and as soon as the trestle was lowered, Shiki Kayama could not wait to rush down and came to the shore.

It was only when his feet touched the land that his heart felt at peace.

Just then, an explosion was heard in the distance. Mixed with the sound of gunfire. Shiki Kayama didn't expect such a sound to appear in the city of Tokyo. My heart was pounding.

Many people on the dock also heard the explosion (Chiyoko also heard this one), and they all looked in the direction where the explosion and gunfire came from, only to see billowing black smoke rising from there.

"Yes...... Did the rebel thieves wreak havoc? Someone asked uneasily.

"Won't you...... We've stepped up our guard now......" someone replied.

Due to the rapid progress of the rebels, the current situation in Tokyo is terrifying, and many people are worried that the next target of the rebels will be Tokyo.

Shiki Kayama felt distraught when he heard the crowd talking, and he didn't pay any attention to the gunshot, but left quickly.

What he is looking forward to now. It was to take the "Fuso" and those warships purchased from the United States to fight against the Satsuma Army as soon as possible.

He returned to his lodgings, opened the wine cabinet, found a bottle of English rum, pulled the cork with a "bang" with a cork, and poured himself a glass, while his mind still had the unhappiness of the nightmare, and the disgusting taste in his mouth seemed to be removed with wine.

Shiki Kayama picked up his glass, craned his neck and poured all the liquor into his mouth. Maybe he was in a hurry to drink, and he choked all of a sudden. He began to cough loudly.

At this moment, a soft footstep came.

Shiki Kayama thought it was his entourage, but he didn't care, he took a towel and wiped the corners of his mouth, and poured another glass of wine, just then, he heard a sound behind him that was similar to the one he had just made when he pulled the cork of the wine bottle.

It was as if something had penetrated his body from behind, and Shiki Kayama felt as if someone had hit him hard with a hammer, and his whole body lost strength in an instant.

Shiki Kayama felt that he couldn't support his body anymore, and slammed down on the table, his hand couldn't hold the wine glass, and the wine glass fell over on the table, and the wine filled the mahogany table, as bright red as blood.

That sound rang out twice, and Shiki Kayama felt two more blows to his body, and a salty thing poured out of his mouth and fell onto the table, mixing with the blood-like liquor, making the table even more red.

Seeing the blood spurting out of his mouth, Shiki Kayama finally understood what was happening, his eyes widened in horror, and he turned his head to look, and saw an officer in a navy uniform, slowly walking in front of him.

This is a young man with a strangely shaped revolver in his hand.

To say that it is weird refers to its barrel, the overall appearance of this gun is the same as that of an ordinary revolver, there is no difference, except that its barrel is covered with a thick black and shiny cylinder, and at this time, the mouth of the cylinder is still emitting light smoke.

The bullet that had just hit Shikiri's body was shot from the muzzle of the gun in the cylinder.

"Birch Mountain thief, I can't imagine that there will be today, right?" The young officer sneered.

"You traitors, you can't die well...... Kayama Shikiki noticed that there were two people in sailor uniforms behind the young man, and they were also holding the kind of pistols with thick barrels in their hands, knowing that they were assassins who had come to assassinate him, he couldn't help but want to scold, but at this time, he could only make a very weak sound.

"The real traitor is you! If it weren't for you, my brother wouldn't have died in vain......" The young man looked at Shiki Kayama with a look of resentment in his eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense with him! Hurry up and take his head! We're in the middle of an enemy base, and we're in trouble if we find out! One of the people in the back urged.

The young man nodded, put the gun away, pulled out a short knife sharply, stepped forward and pressed Shiki's head on the table, swinging the knife and slashing at Shiki's neck.

The last thing Shiki Kayama saw was the red color of the table.

After a while, the head of Kayama Shiki was cut off for the young man, and the other person took out a cowhide bag and stepped forward, opening the pocket, and the young man carefully put the head of Kayama Shiki into the pocket to prevent blood from getting it, and then took the wine bottle, cleaned the bloodstained hands and knife with wine, wiped it with Kayama Shiki's towel, and then took off the military uniform on his body, turned it over and put the bloodstained side inside.

This military uniform of his was specially made, the front and back were the same, and after wearing it, he became a normal naval officer again.

The young man glanced at the corpse of Shikiri Kayama, who was already headless, and spat it fiercely on the ground, turning around with his companion and walking out quickly.

The carriage stopped, and Okubo Ritsu sat in the carriage, looking at the window with some anxiety, just now he also heard the explosion and gunshots, but he did not dare to open the window door and look out.

Since the last "head incident", he has known what kind of methods the samurai under Saigo Takamori will use against him.

In order to prevent a possible assassination, Okubo has not only strengthened the security of Tokyo City, but also equipped itself with a large number of guards, which are almost as large as the Meiji Emperor.

Despite such precautions, he was still worried that one day he would encounter an accident and would not be able to complete the great cause of the Restoration.

"My lord, do you want to change your course?" The captain of the guard asked outside the carriage.

"No need, this may be a suspicious tactic of the People's Party, keep going!" Okubo Ritsu thought for a moment and replied.

As the carriage continued to move forward, Okubo noticed that the gunfire had stopped at this point, and knew that it might be that the assassins of the Civil Rights Party had messed things up, and had now been suppressed by the military police who had arrived.

As an armed uprising emerged within the civil rights faction after the Kagoshima samurai uprising, and Saigo Takamori was asserted, Okubo Toshitsu arrested many civil rights leaders, including Hayashi Youzao, Kataoka Kenkichi, Takashi Oe, and Tsunade Takeuchi, on charges of planned rebellion, and imprisoned them, and the liberal civil rights faction was forced to go underground under Okubo Toshimitsu's severe suppression. Many civil rights activists hated Okubo and had assassinated Okubo several times, but they were unsuccessful, and many strong men were shot and killed by Okubo Ritsu's guards during the assassination.

Thinking that it might be another mess by the civil rights faction, Okubo didn't bother with it, but took out the document and read it in the carriage.

"Okubo traitor is cunning, will he pass through here?"

"In a little while, everything will be clear."

The two members of the Odd Soldier walked unhurriedly to a building. They came to the predetermined reserve position, looked out the window, and saw only a few passers-by hurrying down the street.

On the corner of the street, about 200 meters away from the building, there is a small park. They saw a man and a woman sitting down on a bench, with the man placing a hand on the woman's shoulder. In the eyes of others, they should be a couple.

"Kiyokawa-kun is really blessed to be able to work with the teacher's woman." One said with a smile.

He had already recognized the couple of people, the male was Shinji Kiyokawa, a member of the Odd Army, and the female was Kaori Kiratsuki.

"The teacher is determined to win this time, and the Okubo traitor will not escape his life."

"Yes! We can see everything clearly from here. We will confirm with our own eyes that the Okubo traitor will no longer be a threat to His Excellency the Great Shogun. ”

The breeze blows overhead, the leaves rustle, and the rich aroma of cherry blossoms in the vicinity gives one an intoxicating smell.

"It's a beautiful and quiet place." One person looked at the "couple" and the quiet alley, and said with a smile, "I don't know where the teacher is looking at ......"

"I think the teacher will be there." Another pointed to a quiet, tall building not far away.

"It's a good place to control the street, but it seems a bit far away......"

While the two were talking, a group of horsemen appeared escorting a four-wheeled carriage.

"Attention! The goal has appeared! ”

"See, prepare!"

The two quickly raised their scoped Glass rifles and aimed them at the cavalry. (To be continued......)
