"You speak...the language spoken by Americans?" Longma remembered what English was.
Zuocun nodded and put down his wine bowl: "Yes, during this period, I found an English teacher in Kyoto and kept learning English. I didn't come out until recently."
"That's how it is."
Longma suddenly became happy.
He thought about things very comprehensively and far away. He even now thought about how he would die in the future.
So Zuocun said that after he learned the language of Americans, Ryuma immediately thought of many things in the future.
If he wanted to have some naval actions in Tosa, he would inevitably contact foreigners in the future.
At this time, if there is a person who knows a foreign language around you, many things will become very simple.
At least the barriers to communication will be reduced a lot.
"It's worthy of being you, you're very thoughtful." Longma was excited to pat Zuocun on the shoulder, but found that Zuocun was already drunk.
Sighing: "Miss Aaron and I only drank a bowl of two pounds of white wine... When did you become so addicted to alcohol?"
"It's not long, it's just these two days." Zuocun burped.
Even though he was drunk, he still maintained a considerable degree of soberness.
However, Zuocun rarely drinks so much wine.
...... Maybe it's because Zuocun's mood is something wrong these days.
This was wrong after the conversation with Shimazaki Tuoka on the eve of Rensheng Village.
If it is just a disagreement, it is easy to solve, but in the final analysis...
It was Zuocun who saw the possibility of future opposition.
Yu Shimazaki and Yui Toshiba rarely go out. They lack knowledge but are full of ambitions and have no room for performance. Their goal is to serve the shogunate.
Zuocun bluntly said that he invited everyone in the Trial and Guardian Pavilion to try to walk their own paths, walk around more outside, and work hard for the change of this country.
But Shimazaki and Tuoya, whose thoughts have been solidified to a certain extent... After thinking, they rejected Zuocun's proposal.
They are not like Zuocun, without any concern, nor are they like Longma, and have some strength at home.
They are just samurai who stand out among the most ordinary people, and they should think that leaning on the government is the best way to advance.
So, the ending of the previous few days is naturally...they ended in an unhappy way.
Everyone is already adults, Zuocun can no longer influence their thoughts
When leaving, Yu Shimazaki, the heartless big brother who patted Zuocun's shoulder and said with a smile: "Even if we go on different paths in the future, we will be good friends, aren't we?"
Zuocun nodded in response to this.
But, he knew in his heart... he really embarked on a different path. Can my friend continue to do it?
Everyone knows how warriors live.
As long as you are on the battlefield and draw a knife, even the closest friends must be prepared to be hacked to death.
This is the warrior.
It looks bright and beautiful, but in fact it deviates from human nature and tramples on emotions.
Zuocun has been asking himself these days after leaving.
Have you really prepared for this country regardless of everything?
"Ryuma, I have come up with my own answer now." Zuocun lowered his head, and the broken hair on his forehead covered his eyes and the things that shouldn't have existed that were stuck to his eyes.
"I may never find my own answer, but... I will force myself to move forward as always."
"Just like... when Kurokawashima Village."
Ryuma also saw that Zuocun was in a very wrong mood.
He sighed and stood up: "Better be in a better mood, Zuocun."
Zuocun raised his head and smiled indifferently.
"Are you planning next?"
"I want to walk along the coastline and go to Shiba." Zuocun always had detailed plans for his own road. "I want to go and see what this port open to foreigners... looks like now."
"Do you want to be together?"
Longma looked at the bored Miss Along beside him, pondered for a moment, and smiled.
"Then let's go."
......
The two stayed in this small village for a night and embarked on a journey the next day.
And someone who wanted to meet Zuocun a long time ago...
Emperor Xiaoming sighed.
His mentality was very stable.
Since he succeeded to the throne, he has been like a mascot, without any real power at all, and his mentality is so stable.
However, as the nominal supreme ruler of Japan, you should say that he has no ambition in his heart... that is impossible.
And at present, he saw this hope.
However, hope is hope, Xiaoming still has his own thoughts at this moment of external and internal turmoil.
That is, he will protect the shogunate and support the shogunate on the surface. After all, the shogunate is the best shield to block him to deal with foreign enemies.
For this reason, he even publicly expressed his position.
However, all of this did not prevent him from having his own little thoughts.
That is to recruit some of your confidants and find ways to get something back from the shogunate.
For example... by using the shogunate to make the royal power grow, the common military and military unity?
However, the plan to secretly search for the strong has not been smooth. At least Xiaoming's best candidate... It seems that he has forgotten himself and has never come to see him.
Zuocun really forgot.
He is now practicing swimming by the beach.
Although Longma wants to start a sailor team first, it is still a concept, but the water nature must be mastered.
Although Zuocun can jump, there is nothing on the sea that can give you the power to jump.
However... Zuocun is a land duck.
If Miss Aaron hadn't paid any effort to get it back for him, Zuocun might have floated there.
When he was on land, he encountered rivers or something. If there were too many people, he would walk on the bridge, and if there were too few people, he would jump over directly, and he would not get any water at all.
But now...
Zuocun spit out a mouthful of sea water, his mouth full of saltiness.
He lay on the big rock by the sea, looking at the sky with no desire.
"Why can't I learn to swim?" He wanted to die when he said this.
As a top samurai, his physical coordination is excellent.
But when the whole body was immersed in the sea, it was inexplicably out of control.
In a word, I'm afraid of water.
Longma felt a little funny, but it might be impolite to laugh.
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Miss Aaron couldn't straighten his waist.
"Ming... I didn't feel anything when I caught fish two days ago." Zuocun touched his bulging belly and sighed.
Too difficult.
But Zuocun will learn to swim, and he must learn what he wants to learn.
