As the night deepened, it seemed that there was a fog on the sea, which covered everything, and an email came, saying that it was running out of late, and Hirako and Hayakawa Naomi went back to the dormitory to rest.

Pei Ziyun finished eating, wiped his mouth, stretched his waist, yawned, seemed a little sleepy, and got up and bowed slightly: "Beigang-kun, I'm sorry, I'll go back to my room to rest." ”

But after Pei Ziyun finished speaking, he didn't answer soundly, and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, and saw the aura of the person opposite gradually changing: "So that's what you think, Yamada-kun." ”

Kitaoka Tatsuya also left the restaurant, feeling deep regret: "Yamada-kun, I thought you would be our comrade. ”

"Kitaoka-kun, one hundred and thirty years have passed since the curtain fell. Pei Ziyun was not surprised: "The shogunate could not clean up the entire house through a bloody war, and it was doomed that democracy would be born." ”

"In fact, any autocratic regime is democratic, and the power that was originally in the hands of one or a few people is extended to the cabinet of governors and governors as the system is relaxed—even if it is only the democracy of the nobles or the aristocracy. ”

"The king and the warriors share the world. ”

"Even if the shogunate had the lord of Shinkawa Keiko, it would not be able to eradicate the group of people who had taken root, and could only turn them into officials and parliamentarians in the new era. ”

And when Shinkawa Keiko died, the power of officials and parliamentarians expanded, and this system of collective deliberation naturally expanded, and when everyone could vote for the prime minister, it became a modern democracy. ”

"Under the rule of the shogunate, Japan has enjoyed a hundred years of peace for a long time after the downfall, and has returned the great government to the people, what regrets do you have?"

"Does it have to be the emperor who is in charge of the government?"

Pei Ziyun stepped on the deck and made an echo, a few people glanced at it, and went back to rest, the entire deck was empty, and the melody of violin music was faintly heard.

Kitaoka Tatsuya also stood still, as if listening, his hair cut short and of medium stature, then he took off his glasses and bowed his head in contemplation for a long time.

Gradually, Kitaokata also shook his head and said, "Yamada-kun, if you become our comrade, with your talent and talent, you may even become our leader in the future, and know all the secrets. ”

"But you refused, and I can only say that we are not madmen, and we are not even necessarily for the sake of the emperor, but have a last resort. ”

"Wrong history must be corrected. ”

Kitaoka Tatsuya's tone was a little hesitant at first, but when he said this, he became calm, determined, and decisive.

"Wrong history?" was the word that shocked Pei Ziyun's heart.

"Maybe you don't understand, in fact, it's normal not to understand, but our righteous warriors are not dead yet, and they are constantly expanding-Yamada-kun, you are a samurai, let's use samurai means to end today's conversation!"

It's a long knife.

Pei Ziyun sighed and also took out the wooden knife.

In the next moment, Kitaoka Tatsuya felt a pang in his heart, and Pei Ziyun in front of him stood like this, but he was invulnerable, and beads of sweat suddenly oozed from his forehead.

"No way, I practiced swords at the age of seven, obtained the mystery at the age of fifteen, and became a master at the age of twenty-one. ”

"The person in front of him can't even be called a teenager, how can he have such a high level of cultivation?"

Kitaoka Tatsuya's breath became turbid, and he suddenly shouted, stepped forward, jumped up, and flew around the left side of Pei Ziyun's body in an arc like a swallow, followed by a knife light.

"Yan Hui Chop!"

Kitaoka Tatsuya's figure disappeared in front of him, his amazing speed and physical strength showed the strength of the samurai, and at the moment of disappearance, Pei Ziyun's heart rate rose sharply, he retreated, turned around, and slashed back.

In an instant, the bodies of the two were staggered, and then Pei Ziyun landed safely on the ground and vibrated the wooden knife obliquely to the right, but the wooden knife did not need to vibrate obliquely, and the blood that slipped was instantly absorbed.

Kitaoka Tatsu half-knelt on the deck, supported the ground with a knife, a line oozing red, gradually expanded, and gasped twice before standing up.

A red line, not deep into the flesh, only half a point.

"Yamada-kun, are you merciful?"

"No, I'm only twelve, just a little bit, but I'm at the limit. Pei Ziyun was a little regretful, he had never been merciful, but he was bound to the body of a twelve-year-old boy to the limit.

Kitaoka Tatsuya was silent for a long time, put away the knife, had a straight posture, and bowed: "Yamada-kun, please give up the task of Bando Yuanzi!"

"Even if you don't talk about the shogunate, there is still the god of Yi. ”

"Yishen?"

"Yes, Haruka-hime. There was a faint regret in Kitaoka Tatsuya's voice: "You know why I want to invite you with the wealth of the Bandong family, and you are not the only samurai, it is for this reason." ”

"If the god grows, the Ezo people will grow. ”

"This is ridiculous, does the pure Ezo people still exist?" Pei Ziyun remained silent, the Ezo people were regarded as a backward nation in the shogunate era, and naturalization was encouraged, and the Ezo people themselves recognized this as their only way out, and now there are no Ezo people in the pure sense at all.

"You're right, but you're not fully naturalized. Kitaoka Tatsuya shook his head and said.

"It turned out to be the defense of Heyi, but the general canonized it, I don't think it's a god of Yi. Pei Ziyun said.

"Is that so? I warn you, the Bandong family is not a kind person. Kitaokata was not ready to do it again and retreated.

Pei Ziyun smiled dumbly, turned around and went back to the room.

In the middle of the night, a person appeared on the empty deck, this person was Kitaoka Tatsuya who had just fought, he took out a mobile phone, dialed the button, and after connecting it, he bowed his head respectfully and said, "Sorry, my lord, the negotiation failed!"

"Have you tested his inclinations, and what you said about the gods?" the phone asked.

"Yes, my lord, it was said, but he refused. Kitaoka Tatsuya said seriously: "Yamada Shinichi is more inclined to maintain the shogunate of peace. ”

"The god of Yi is also considered to be the shogunate, and he is not particularly excluded. ”

"Oh, is it?" On the other side of the phone, Pei Ziyun did not accept the conditions, and he was very regretful: "According to our observation, Yamada Shinichi is a very talented samurai, both civil and military, and has a bright future. ”

"The shogunate, which was more inclined to maintain peace, and the Hitianjin god, who was also considered to be the shogunate, was not particularly rejected, but it was also normal for people who lived in times of peace. ”

"It's a pity that he's a samurai, not an ordinary person. ”

"Moreover, he was involved in the war at a critical time, and stood on the opposing side, so that in this case, for the sake of setting things right in history, there is no room for variables in the plan. ”

"Kill Yamada Shin, and I will bear the pressure of Kawa Shrine. On the other side of the phone, he said in a voice full of regret but categorically, "Also, the plan for the Bandong Main Building will continue." ”

"If you want to put things right, you have to pull up the variables of Hokkaido, and I authorize you to use all the chess pieces planted in the Bandong Main Building, at any cost. ”

"Hey!" Sure enough, this order did not surprise Kitaoka Tatsuya, and in response to the order loudly, Kitaoka Tatsu stood respectfully, bowed, and waited for the phone to end, before hanging up the phone and straightening up.

"It's a pity, Yamada-kun. Kitaokada shook his head, and his eyes showed a tired look: "How much blood do I have to bear on my path?"

Time seemed to pass quickly on the cruise ship, and after waking up in the night, and having lunch, the Sunflower docked and followed the route to the harbor.

When getting off the cruise ship, a group of people cheered, especially Yuanshan Xingtai's face was pale, and there was a faint hint of cyan, and he kept muttering: "Ah, finally ashore!"

It turned out that Kota Toyama found himself seasick shortly after getting on the boat, and this fact made him very depressed!

In a state of seasickness, Kota Toyama could neither eat, drink, or have fun, but he did not expect that his trip to Hokkaido this time would start so tragically.

This naturally made Toyama Kota very unhappy, but now that he is finally on land, he can rest and play with peace of mind.

During the shogunate period, the first shogun sent people to survey Hokkaido, and they sent people to establish bases in places where there were both ports and land reclamation.

Soon, it became a direct jurisdiction of the shogunate, and the development was officially carried out, and the head of the Ezo people was either absorbed or annihilated, and naturalization can be said to be compulsory.

The Banto family was one of them, and at that time there was a small score of 800 koku and moved to Edo.

After the Shogunate War, 3,000 stone Chiyuki were given to Hokkaido due to meritorious service, and the Bando family returned to Hokkaido, and continued to expand their power in a hundred years, becoming a famous family in Hokkaido.

The Nishio Ryokan is one such property.

Although it was in the light rain, but you could still see the endless sea and sky around you, the environment was very pleasant, and the woman in the kimono received the black card, bowed to Pei Ziyun and his party, and introduced the West Tail Hotel: "Please allow me to introduce the West Tail Hotel." ”

"It has been 230 years since the establishment of the Nishio Inn, and the plan is to keep pace with the local development. ”

"Samurai and their families had to find a suitable place, so the Nishio Ryokan was created. As soon as the group entered, the woman in the kimono bent down and asked everyone to take off their shoes, and some people immediately took them for maintenance, and then asked them to put on clogs, but because it was summer, they did not prepare socks.

After changing, she was led inside, and the woman said: "The Nishio Hotel is on high ground, overlooking the port, and has an open-air hot spring!"

"Guests can feel it, it's a very nice experience in an open-air hot spring!" said the kimono woman, who had already taken Pei Ziyun and his party into the guest room.

The rooms are isolated and spacious, with floor-to-ceiling windows featuring a seating area with chairs and coffee tables, and tatami mats.

"Because of the sea, the hotel provides fresh fish and shellfish based on herring, if some of you are allergic to seafood, please bring it up, our hotel will prepare other meals for you in advance, I hope you don't mind!"

"Also, the hotel's meal time is as follows: breakfast is served between 07:30 and 08:30, dinner is served from 17:30 to 19:00, guests arriving at the restaurant after 19:00 will not be able to eat dinner, and the hot spring tax is 150 yen per person per night. ”

Hearing the kimono woman in front of her say this, Tsuneko jumped up and shouted, "Great, I can play in the hot spring again!"

And Hayakawa Naomi was a little surprised by the price and whispered, "Isn't this a bit expensive?"

Yuta Toyama nodded, feeling the same way, approached Pei Ziyun, and asked, "This hotel is very expensive, right?"

"It's expensive, but we don't pay for it. Pei Ziyun replied.

"Yes, you have a VIP card, everything is covered, please enjoy. Hearing this, Kota Toyama smiled, and the members who followed were very happy.

"Let's disperse, let's go back to our rooms, three people in a room. ”

"Hey!" the members are not dissatisfied, such a hotel, 40,000 yen a day, three people live is a rare experience.

Of course, the minister has privileges, and in a separate room, Pei Ziyun put down his backpack and searched the situation with his mobile phone.

At this time, Tsumiko, Hayakawa Naomi, Kota Toyama and others had already gone to play or check the hot springs, and Pei Ziyun said that he was a little unwell and wanted to rest, so he stayed alone in the room to check the relevant information.

Pei Ziyun looked at the information searched on his mobile phone, and muttered: "Ezo people, due to intermarriage and assimilation, pure Ezo people have basically disappeared, the official population is 25,000, and the unofficial figure is 200,000, but these 200,000 must count all the people with Ezo blood." ”

"The purebred Ezo people are short in stature, light in complexion, and have the most body hair in the world of known human species, with men with thick beards and women with traces along their mouths. ”

"Well, this kind of appearance is probably one of the reasons why the purebred Ezo people are gradually disappearing, no wonder the purebred Ezo people are almost invisible now. Pei Ziyun said silently in his heart.

"And Harukihime, this originally didn't exist in Ezo mythology, but if it was given, a new title would be given, was this the original goddess, or even a merger of several gods?"

Just thinking about it, I heard a ding, and a phone call came: "Is it Yamada-kun? We are the car of the Bandong Main Building, have you already rested?"

"I've rested for a while, and I can send a car over. Pei Ziyun said, and wrote a mass email, sent it to the members, and got up and went out.

When I arrived at the door, I was greeted by a beautiful girl, and bowed sweetly: "Is it Yamada-kun?

The interior of the stretch car is luxurious, with a Xiaoice box and a cigar box, but Pei Ziyun does not smoke, and he does not have much desire for wine until he tastes it, looking out the window sideways, and seeing the fields full.

"Hokkaido accounts for about one-quarter of the country's grain production, and in ancient times, it was about 5 million koku. ”

The car was not far from the main building, and it took ten minutes to turn to a mountain road, when the dark clouds gradually thickened and lightning struck.

Looking at the scene, Pei Ziyun frowned, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart.

The girl who accompanied her thought that Pei Ziyun was afraid of thunder and lightning, and said: "Yamada-kun, it doesn't matter if it rains on this mountain road, it will be there in a while." ”

Sure enough, after a while, we arrived at our destination, which is a very large location.

Pei Ziyun got out of the car, and at a glance, it was full of cherry trees, but the flowers had already been thanked, and the annex was standing in it, just at a glance, he asked, "This is the fortress, right?"

"You're right, the main building is a fortress. ”
