Until he was finally captured, Mizuno did not suffer any further damage.

The battle was over, because he could speak Qian's Chinese, and Mizuno was brought to Lin Yizhe by the Qianjun soldiers.

"It turned out to be Mizuno-kun......" Lin Yizhe sighed when he saw Mizuno Jun who staggered in front of him, "You will be here too......"

Hearing Lin Yizhe's voice full of regret and pain, Mizuno Zun's heart was uncomfortable, "Yes! I didn't expect to meet again on such an occasion. ”

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Lin Yizhe asked in a deep voice.

"Each for his own master, I don't want to explain my behavior, Lin Jun, I am looking for you, I have something important to hand over to you." Mizuno looked at Lin Yizhe and pointed to the inside of his clothes with his already bound hands as he spoke.

Lin Yizhe didn't move, just glanced at the shipmaster sailor beside Mizuno Zun, the sailor was very clever, and immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand and took out the object hidden in Mizuno Zun's arms, and presented it to Lin Yizhe with both hands.

Lin Yizhe saw the object in the hand of the sailor, and the blood all over his body seemed to be filled with his eyeballs at this moment, and he stood there in a daze, staring at it for a long time before letting out a painful sigh.

It was a small knife with a beautifully carved wooden sheath, which was once the belongings of Lin Yizhe's little lady, Aya Lin.

Lin Yizhe gently picked up the knife, and tears fell at this moment.

"This is what I found on that cliff......" Mizuno looked at Lin Yizhe and suddenly bowed deeply, "Lin Jun!" I'm so sorry! ”

Lin Yizhe took a deep breath and put the knife into his sleeve, he looked at Mizuno Zun, nodded, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Thank you, Mizuno-kun." ”

When Mizuno heard Lin Yizhe's words, his body trembled slightly, he straightened up, looked at Lin Yizhe, and his eyes became red.

"Untie Mr. Mizuno," Lin Yizhe instructed the two sailors, "Mr. Mizuno is a non-combatant, and he is not to be held with prisoners and must not be abused." ”

A shipmaster and sailor were ordered to step forward and cut the rope on Mizuno's wrist with a dagger, and Mizuno rubbed his wrist, tears flowed again.

Bursts of thunder were heard in the sky, and Mizuno looked up and saw a faint electric light between the black clouds. But at this moment, a ray of golden sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the clouds, making the gray sky instantly brighter.

Mizuno felt the warmth on his face, and suddenly, the sound of thunder and lightning came, and the surrounding scenery gradually disappeared at this moment, and he suddenly realized that it was a dream, and immediately opened his eyes.

The same black clouds and lightning, the same sunlight shining through the cracks in the clouds, but everything around me is different.

Everything is a thing of the past, and now all that remains is a young beggar in rags.

Mizuno silently put his hand into his arms and took out a revolver.

This is a very beautifully made French-style revolver, the barrel and body are delicately carved with patterns, and the handle is a beautiful colored porcelain, on which is written the words "made by the guns of the Fujian shipbuilding administration of Daqian".

This revolver was given to him by Mizuno when he went to Fuzhou with Yanagihara Maemitsu to visit Hayashi Yoshizhe, who was guarding his aunt's deceased aunt.

The gun has been with him ever since. When he entered Taiwan with the Taiwan army, he only brought this weapon with him. But he didn't use it.

After he was captured, because of Lin Yizhe's relationship, he was given preferential treatment and was not held with the fighters, and the pistol was confiscated by the cadres at that time, but when the prisoners were repatriated at the end of the war, according to Lin Yizhe's order, the gun was removed from the bullet and returned to him.

After returning to China, Mizuno became a "dry agent" (that is, a traitor) who everyone spat on, not only lost all his positions, but even his livelihood became a problem.

Of course, Mizuno understands that the reason why he ended up like this is not entirely because he was familiar with Lin Yizhe earlier, and he was treated favorably by Lin Yizhe after being defeated and captured.

In order to get out of the predicament, the Japanese Government had no choice but to declare Saigo and the officers and men of the Saigo Conquest Army to be "thieves" who were "below the Emperor's order" and tried the surviving generals of the Conquest Army, and in order to shirk responsibility for the defeat, the Japanese Government deliberately said that some people in the Conscription Army had colluded with the Qianguo side. As a result, Mizuno and other non-combatants who participated in the conquest were also detained and interrogated, and although they were later acquitted and released, the name of "dry detective" could no longer be cleared.

He received preferential treatment in Qianguo, but in his own motherland, he was completely spurned.

He had done everything he could for the country, but the end result was something he never expected.

There is no greater mourning than death.

Mizuno can't remember exactly how he got to where he is now.

He also thought about whether to go to Qianguo and defect to Lin Yizhe.

But he eventually gave up.

After all, he is still a Japanese, and in his heart, he still loves Japan deeply.

Although the current Japan, do not love him.

It wasn't until one day that he learned of Lin Yizhe's death, and he found that his last path in this world had also been cut off.

At that moment, Mizuno even thought of death.

It is only when people lose that they experience the preciousness of what they have.

But Mizuno Zun somehow, there is always a feeling that he will see Lin Yizhe again one day.

It was because he lost everything, but he kept this gun, and no matter how difficult the moment, he never thought of selling it.

"You! …… Who? A loud shout interrupted Mizuno's thoughts.

Mizuno looked up and saw two policemen pointing long knives at him, their faces full of horror.

Mizuno didn't speak, but put the gun back in his arms, then stood up, intending to leave.

When the two policemen saw him put away his gun, their eyes widened and their faces looked surprised.

When the two of them saw Mizuno just now, they vaguely felt that this person seemed to be a little unusual, and soon after leaving, they felt uneasy, so they turned back.

At the end of the Edo period, Japan had many ronin samurai in various places, and there were many thieves who robbed homes and houses, and after the Meiji Restoration, Japan quickly established a police system all over the country (in which Takashi Saigo played an important role), and one of the duties of the Japanese police was to catch thieves and maintain local law and order.
