At this moment, a young woman suddenly walked out of the door, wearing a floral kimono, with a fair complexion and a very beautiful appearance. She glanced outside, bent over, walked over to the tall ronin, and said something.

"Nakaoka-kun, Mr. Sakamoto said, please let the guests in,......" Xu Silin whispered for Guan Zhuofan.

Sure enough, it was Nakaoka, Guan Zhuofan smiled in his heart and nodded secretly.

The tall ronin known as "Nakaoka-kun" glared at Thurin angrily, put his knife back into its sheath, first waved his hand to the others to get out of the way, and then said in extremely stiff Chinese: "You, Master Hou, come with me." ”

Nagasaki has been trading with China and the Netherlands for hundreds of years, and Sinology and "Lanxue" are extremely prosperous, so Nakaoka suddenly spoke Chinese, and Tulin and others were of course greatly surprised, but Guan Zhuofan and Xu Silin both knew the root and knew the whole thing, and they were not surprised at all.

"Master Hou, the son of a daughter, can't sit down." Xu Silin saw Guan Zhuofan get off the horse, hurriedly followed, and reminded in a low voice, "These people are all carrying knives, I don't know if there are any strange things in the house!" ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled, pointed to Tu Lin and Zhang Chenglin at the door, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I also have a knife." ”

The guards at the door have been replaced by the soldiers of the Xuan Army, and the group of ronins have been squeezed aside, although they are still trying to make a confrontational appearance, they no longer have the previous majesty. Guan Zhuofan took his hand, took Xu Silin, Shi Shiran followed Zhonggang in, Tulin took a step behind him, and then Zhang Chenglin took four personal soldiers, armed with guns.

The layout inside the crane hall is not as twisty as imagined. Pass by a bright Japanese-style cloister. Then he came to the inner door. Two servants knelt on the ground. The guests who waited for the guests to come in took off their shoes, then opened the inner door to both sides, bowed down, and invited the guests to enter.

Inside is a small hall, the floor is paved with tatami mats, and the inside is a small stage. There are three women performing on the stage, dressed in white powder, and their costumes are complicated and gorgeous. The posture is extremely enchanting. The most peculiar thing is that the three people are motionless, as if frozen, and the hall does not hear the sound of silk and bamboo.

On the tatami mats, along the east and west sides, seven or eight steps apart, there are several small cases placed in each place, just like the pattern of the princes holding wine during the Warring States period, and it is obvious that it is a place for guests to use wine. However, on the huge tatami mat, it is now only behind a case in the west head. There were two middle-aged people, one dressed in white. One person in a green shirt, all of them combed their hair in a bun on the top of their heads, dressed as a samurai. And the young woman I saw just now was like a docile cat, prostrating herself in the arms of the man in white.

There is not only one Sakamoto Ryoma in the hall, which is beyond Guan Zhuofan's expectations. I saw Nakaoka walk over and sit beside the man in white by himself.

As soon as he sat down, he naturally revealed the identity of the man in white in the middle - who is it not Sakamoto Ryoma?

"I heard that it is the Hou Ye from the Great Qing Kingdom," the master spoke, his tone was gentle and elegant, and he let his hand go, "Don't be surprised when you are slow." Please sit down and have a drink together. ”

Not surprisingly, it is a pure Chinese dialect, but between the ups and downs, it is a little stiff. Guan Zhuofan knew that Sakamoto Ryoma was not only highly accomplished in Sinology and Orchidology, but was also a believer in Wang Yangming, who lectured on reason.

He smiled and nodded, and sat cross-legged behind Dong Shou's first case, with Túrin and Zhang Chenglin, like two Dharma protectors, standing behind him. Then a servant woman came in and put food and wine on the table before him.

Guan Zhuofan looked at the three people opposite. Nakaoka, who is dressed in black, is what he has just learned, Sakamoto Ryoma in white, with a upright and soft appearance, which is also consistent with the records of the history books, but the man in green clothes on his left is the one in green clothes, with a strong body, a mighty appearance, two thick eyebrows tightly locked, and a deep face, I don't know which one?

But I saw Sakamoto Ryoma clapping his hands, and after the sound of "pop", the sound of silk and bamboo stood up, and the three women who stood still on the stage suddenly moved. Guan Zhuofan realized that it was because of the change of Fang Cai that the performance was stopped. I can't help but sigh in my heart, it seems that Sakamoto's shili in Nagasaki is really not small.

"This play is called 'Narugami'." Sakamoto smiled and raised his wine glass to pay tribute to Guan Zhuofanyao, "It tells the story of the monk Narukami of the Beishan Cave, who was tempted by the beautiful Yunzhong Jemahime and fell and lost his body, which is the most beautiful." ”

Is it good-looking? Guan Zhuofan looked at the exaggerated and peculiar dancing on the stage, and muttered in his heart, it seems that the famous "obscene drama" in Japan in this era is nothing more than that, compared to the industry that will be the best in the world in your later generations, it is really nothing.

"I can't thank you enough for your hospitality." He also raised the cup in return, which can be regarded as a return gift.

"My name is Sakamoto, this is Nakaoka-kun, this is Saigo-kun, they are all good friends of mine." Sakamoto Ryoma smiled, "Don't dare to ask for the name of the Hou Ye." ”

Nakaoka-kun doesn't need to say it, as for Saigo-kun...... Guan Zhuofan glanced at the mighty man in Tsing Yi, weighed it in his heart, and snorted.

"My surname is Guan, and the grass word Yixuan."

With a snap, Ryoma Sakamoto slapped his hands again, stopped the dance music again, and looked at Guan Zhuofan with a little shock.

"You are the governor of Jiangsu of the Great Qing Kingdom, the third-class marquis Guan Yixuan Guan?"

Sakamoto has been to China twice in the 8th year of Xianfeng and 10th year in Xianfeng. Although I am in Nagasaki now, Nagasaki and Shanghai are only a four-day sea, and there are many trade exchanges and news. The story of Guan Zhuofan's capture of Sushun, Kebao Shanghai, and the draw in Jiangsu, is close to legend, how can someone like Sakamoto Ryoma who cares about current affairs not know? It's just that he never imagined that the Qing Dynasty official sitting in front of him turned out to be him.

"It turned out that Master Guan arrived, and it was rude." Sakamoto Ryoma looked at Guan Zhuofan, patted the woman next to him, and made a gesture with a smile, "I'll let Hanako give me a glass of Lord Guan for me!" ”

The woman, sure enough, lifted the wine jug softly, came to Guan Zhuofan's desk, knelt on the ground, and filled the wine glass for Guan Zhuofan first, then raised her wine glass, bowed, and drank it first.

"Okay, good," Guan Zhuofan didn't drink, smiled and looked Huazi up and down, and suddenly stretched out his hand. Pulled her into his arms. Sniff at her snow-white neck. "Sure enough, it smells like flowers! Sakamoto-san, it's really good for you to choose a woman's vision. ”

Hanako was softly held in his arms, her face became a little pale, but she didn't struggle, but Tulin behind her was dumbfounded-this master of his own family has a romantic nature. However, how could he have done such a heart-wrenching thing and dared to rob other people's women in person?

On that side, the faces of the three Japanese changed color together, and Nakaoka was even more gestured to stand up, and the knife on his waist "choked", and it was half unsheathed.

"Hahahaha," Guan Zhuofan suddenly daxiao, "Sakamoto-san, you are all people who plan to do great things, can't you even give up a woman now?" ”

Sakamoto shrugged his eyebrows. He glanced at Saigo and made a gesture. Signaling Zhonggang to be calm for a while, he said in a deep voice: "I don't understand this sentence of Guan Houye. We are all businessmen who do our duty, plotting big things or something, I don't know where to start? ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," Guan Zhuofan sneered, "Nakaoka-san's long knife, connected to the small knife on the waist of the two of you, if there is no word Muramasa on the inscription, I Guan Mou will give you these eyes myself!" ”

"Muramasa" is a group of famous swordsmiths living in Ise, and the actual combat knives they make are all gorgeously decorated with patterns, and they are all extremely sharp, and they are called "Muramasa Demon Sword".

The reason why Muramasa is called a demon sword is, of course, on the one hand, that it is too sharp, and many people die under Muramasa's sword, but its biggest background is that the first shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu was afraid of it.

Ieyasu's grandfather was assassinated by his retainer Yashiro at Mt. Owari Kuni, who was using the Muramasa knife at that time.

Ieyasu's father was assassinated by his close minister Iwamatsu Yaya, and Yayasu's knife at that time was also a Muramasa knife.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's sister-in-law was forced to commit suicide by Oda Nobunaga, and he still used the Muramasa knife when he was disemboweled.

And Ieyasu himself was wounded in the finger by Muramasa. All this led Ieyasu to conclude that "the Muramasa sword is a monster specially designed to haunt the Tokugawa family", and ordered the destruction of all Muramasa knives.

Therefore, in the Edo period, although the swordsmiths of Seshu Muramasa were still making Japanese swords, under the pressure of the shogunate, no one dared to openly carry Muramasa swords, and the inscriptions of Muramasa swords became uninscribed or disguised as other sword inscriptions.

And in this era, the saying of "the demon knife that haunted the Tokugawa family" was used by the anti-shogunists, who carved the sword inscription of "Muramasa" on their own matching knives, and the three people in front of them were naturally no exception.

In other words, the person who wears the Muramasa knife is tantamount to rebellion. Now that Guan Zhuofan was drunk by a word, his face was naturally pale, and he looked at this marquis from the Qing Dynasty in disbelief.

"Your lord has been covered with dust for a long time, how can you not be heartbroken as a minister? And starting from the recklessness, with one's own strength, eradicating the ministers, spinning the world, and maintaining orthodoxy is an immortal feat! Guan Zhuofan gently pushed the flower in his arms away, and said solemnly, "The names of the three, Guan has admired them for a long time. ”

This sentence was like a shock, and the three of them were stunned when they heard it - when they said, "Your lord has been covered in dust for a long time," he was naturally talking about the emperor! And the latter sentence "eradicate the ministers" is not talking about the shogun, which one? The three of them looked at each other, and it was only after a while that Ryoma Sakamoto opened his mouth.

"Master Guan, you said that you have admired it for a long time...... Could it be that if you are in Shanghai, you can know the three of us? ”

"How can you not know that you live next to each other with a cloth of water and water?" Guan Zhuofan saw that he still didn't believe it, and said with a smile, "Needless to say, Sakamoto Sang, a famous person. This one is called Shintaro Nakaoka, and Sakamoto Sanjiao is inseparable from Meng, Meng is not out of focus, and he is the most haode brother! As for this Saigo Sang, ......"

At this point, he paused for a moment and suddenly read a poem.

"Even if you don't return to the sun, if you don't have luck, you will be sincere!" Guan Zhuofan stared at Xixiang's face, "Lord Xixiang Takamori, really did a good job of poetry." ”

Poetry is average, but the people of Saigo Takamori are not ordinary! He was a master of Confucianism among the Japanese, and he was also the later Meiji Sanjie, the commander-in-chief of the Shogunate Army. Fushimi Toba fought a battle, defeated the shogunate army, and determined the overall situation of the world, so he and Sakamoto Ryoma were bright for a while, and they were all famous figures in Japanese history. Guan Zhuofan didn't expect to meet him here today. That line of poetry, which is considered a famous sentence of Saigo Takamori, said it casually at this moment, and sure enough, he was so shocked that he couldn't make a sound.

Sakamoto and Saigo are both outstanding people, but in front of this Guan Houye, who is cheating in a history book, he can't help but be angry. After admiring the five bodies, he invariably thought of a question: since he is so clear, it is impossible to talk about concealment, but why did he say these words?
