Because the Xiaoshan Dojo is now different from what it used to be, there are many more disciples, and many people who are inspired by Zhang Heng come to the dojo early in the morning to practice, and Zhang Heng, who is separated by a wall, is now forced to develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early.

When Akane Koyama found him, he had already washed up and was about to go out for a morning run, when he unexpectedly learned of the visit of Soji Okita.

Considering that Okita is terminally ill, Zhang Heng has long stopped reporting any hope for the competition, and Zhang Heng is also very skeptical that Okita's physical condition is enough to support a battle, although he is now stuck on the threshold of lv3 to lv4 and can't find a way to improve, but he doesn't want to use Okita's life as a sacrifice.

However, when Zhang Heng saw the general secretary of Okita, he knew that no matter how much he persuaded the other party, he would not give up this battle.

Therefore, the two finally stood in Zhang Heng's small courtyard, which was also requested by Zhang Heng, no matter what the final victory or defeat was, he didn't want to announce the results of this battle to the public.

Soji Okita took over the wooden knife from Akane Koyama's hand, but he didn't rush to untie the knife from his waist.

Instead, he looked into Zhang Heng's eyes, "I still have a few questions I want to ask Mr. Abe before I start." ”

"Excuse me." Zhang Hengdao.

"Are you now with those guys from Satsuma and Choshu Domain?" No one expected that the first question from Soji Okita would make the atmosphere solemn.

Xiao Shanqian on the side showed a look of anxiety on her face, and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Heng, who nodded generously and admitted, "That's right." ”

"Sure enough." The expression on Okita's face was a little strange, and instead of anger and disappointment, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "I've heard similar rumors before, and I heard that the deputy director of the Hui Group died at your hands. ”

"Oh, that's what happened." Zhang Heng said, "So you came today to avenge them?" ”

"No, although we and the Mikai group have done similar things, but the relationship is average, and I'm not a person who can't rub sand in his eyes like the director," Okita shook his head and said, "Times are different, the general has returned the great government to the emperor, but the other side is still aggressive, no one knows what the future will be, during this time, everyone is panicking, and many people have begun to think about the way back, but because of the harsh regulations set by the director, no one has dared to raise it head-on, but in private, many people have other ideas." ”

Mr. Okita paused, "I also want to find someone to talk to who has contact with the Imperial Sect, and it would be great if Mr. Abe is familiar with those people, because I know that Mr. Abe can be trusted." ”

"Tell me if you need help, do you want to get out of the Shinsengumi?" Zhang Heng asked.

Okita smiled, "My current situation, is there any difference where I am?" Although I don't really care about the above things, I have been wearing this dress for so long, and I am used to it, so why bother to take it off at the last moment. ”

Zhang Heng didn't speak, waiting for Okita to continue.

“…… There are two people I can't worry about in this world, one is my sister Ako, fortunately, she is married, and the other is Director Kondo, I was brought to Kyoto by the director, and he and Hijikata have always taken care of me, but I know very well that the director is the person, his temper is very stubborn, and the things he believes will not change, if ...... If the new government is really formed, he probably won't bow down to those rebellious ministers and thieves, so what I want to plead with you is not easy to do. ”

Soji Okita sighed, "If the situation really deteriorates to a certain extent in the future, I hope that if conditions permit, you can help Director Kondo, and use your connections over there to at least allow Director Kondo to return to his hometown alive and become a farmer." ”

Soji Okita is probably the least concerned about politics in the entire Shinsengumi, but he is probably also the most thoughtful person in the Shinsengumi, and his worries are not unreasonable, and they can be said to be in a word.

For Zhang Heng, who knows history, he is well aware of the fate of the director of the Shinsengumi, Isamu Kondo, although Isamu Kondo was not able to participate in the Battle of Toba Fushimi for some reason, but then he returned to Edo after being loyal to the shogunate, and was defeated by the new government in the subsequent Battle of Katsunuma in Koshu, and there was a split within the Shinsengumi, and Isamu Kondo continued to resist the new regime with the rest of the people, and was surrounded and captured in the Narushan area, and was beheaded not long after.

Zhang Heng thought about it, and decided to tell the truth to Mr. Okita, "I can only do my best in this matter, but I can't give you any guarantees." ”

In fact, Kondo died in April of the following year, when Zhang Heng had already left the dungeon, and Zhang Heng had been very busy recently, and he didn't have time to use his opportunity to use the extra round of the game to return to the previous dungeon, and he didn't even know what would happen to this dungeon after he left.

However, he can find a way to dredge up the relationship above in advance to see if he can save Isamu Kondo, but even if the latter's character escapes death, it is estimated that he will not go home and be an honest farmer as Okita Soji said, and there will be the Battle of Ezo and the Southwest War and so on.

But Zhang Heng can be regarded as fulfilling his promise and saving Kondo Yong once, as for how he will die in the future, it is his own business.

Okita Soji seemed to be relieved when he heard this, "That's enough, I didn't need you to swear or anything, I just hope that I can be less worried when I leave, and finally, there is one more thing I want to ask you." ”

As he spoke, he finally untied the knife on his waist, stroked the blade, and his eyes became gentle, "This knife is called Juyi Writing Zezong, which is cast by Bizen Guoyi Writing School Swordsmith Yiwen Zezong, it is already seven hundred years old, and it is my old partner, but unfortunately I can't cut it now, the fate between us is over, I want to find a home for it, you are the most suitable person, I believe it will be able to bloom more dazzling in your hands." ”

Zhang Heng was a little surprised, Juyi text Zezong, although it is not among the five knives in the world, but its name in later generations is not smaller than the five knives in the world, and it is also the top famous knife in Japan, speaking of which, it seems that there are rumors on the Internet that the owner of this knife is Okita Soji, but there are not many people who support this statement, but now, Zhang Heng really got this famous knife from the hands of Okita Soji.

And Okita Soji came to the small mountain dojo to find Zhang Heng today, obviously there is also a hint of arranging the aftermath, he seems to be able to clearly feel that he has little time left, so he wants to burn again, that is, to repay Zhang Heng's entrusted grace, but also to say goodbye to this world as a samurai.
