However, it's okay no matter what - Nishino didn't care about his apology at all anyway.

His attention at this moment was absorbed by the unfamiliar term my grandson just spit out.

"The law punishes the party...? What is this?"

"This is a good question!"

Suddenly, the Rakshasa on the side interrupted.

"Nishino-kun, I will keep the story short."

"The Fa Zhu Party is a secret society to which my grandson and I belong."

"We are determined to overthrow the Edo shogunate! Kill the Tokugawa family! Eliminate evil spirits! Clarify Uuchi!"

"I have always valued talents! I will not hesitate to praise and win over anyone who is capable and meritorious!"

"Nishino-kun, I have heard of your name and deeds a long time ago!"

"Not only are you very skilled, you are also good at breaking eucalyptus. You are exactly the talent we are lacking!"

"I appreciate you! Join us!"

After saying this, Rakshasa stretched out his hand in front of him, towards Nishino, as if seeking a handshake from his compatriots.

Rakshasa's words were like dropping bombs in Nishino's mind.

After a while, he used all his strength and roared like boiling hot water suddenly overflowing:

"Down with the Edo shogunate? Kill the Tokugawa family? What a joke!

"

Nishino's roar was so loud that it almost shook the dust on the beams.

"My grandson! I thought you were just collaborating with the thugs, but what you did was worse than I expected! You actually turned traitor and collaborated with the enemy!

"

Faced with Nishino's roar, my grandson's reaction... was very dull.

He cast a look at Nishino with a relaxed smile, rolled the tip of his tongue, and asked in a low voice:

"Treason? Collaboration with the enemy? Which country am I rebelling against? Which enemy am I collaborating with?"

"As a son of the banner, you actually turned your back on the shogunate and turned to the bandits! Isn't this treason and collaborating with the enemy?! Do you know how to write the word 'honesty'? Where is your 'loyalty'?!"

"Integrity...loyalty..."

My grandson carefully chewed on the two words Nishino just revealed.

After a while, he chuckled a few times through his nostrils, then raised his chin and looked down at Xiye.

"Is it noble and loyal to be the shogunate's dog wholeheartedly like you?"

My grandson's eyes, expression, and tone showed no trace of bitter sarcasm.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the scene changed.

There was a tense feeling everywhere that made people gasp.

"Okay, okay, you two calm down."

Rakshasa stood half a step aside, blocking between Xiye and my grandson, acting as peacemaker.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was sharply refuted by Nishino.

"Shut up! You traitor!"

Driven by unspeakable rage, Nishino cursed regardless of his appearance:

"I am a son of the imperial family, and I have been favored by you in this life! I should serve my country bravely! How can I follow the example of Mei Xue in dedicating the city and selling it to the owner for glory? How can I follow the example of Hong Jiu of Ming Dynasty, who bent his knees to become a thief, and became famous all over the world for his rebellious deeds, and his deeds were known to the government and the public!

"

[Note: Umeyuki Presents the Castle: Umeyuki, also known as Umeyuki Anayama (1541-1582), was a military commander during the Warring States Period and a retainer of the Takeda clan. In 1582, Umeyuki Anayama, who was stationed in Suruga, felt that the Takeda clan was gone, and secretly attacked Suruga.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, in exchange for Suruga's "bloodless Kaicheng" on the condition that his son Nobuharu Anayama be recognized as the successor of the Takeda clan, Tokugawa Ieyasu agreed, and Umeyuki Kaicheng surrendered.]

[Note: Hong Jiu of the Ming Dynasty: Hong Jiu, that is, Hong Chengchou (1593-1665), whose courtesy name was Yanyan and whose name was Hengjiu. At that time, the scholar-bureaucrats respectfully called him Hong Jiulao. He was defeated by the Qing army in the Battle of Songjin.

Then he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and since then he worked wholeheartedly as a dog of the Qing court. Not only the Ming Dynasty people despised him, but also the Qing Dynasty people looked down upon him. During the Qianlong period, he was included in the "Biography of Er Chen"]

Nishino's words cannot be described as unhealthy and impassioned.

He resolutely refused the olive branch offered by Rakshasa.

His decisive eyes seemed to pierce through the devil in front of him who came to tempt the world.

However... Rakshasa looked at Nishino with eyes as if he were watching a child misbehaving.

"Nishino-kun, you... are really stubborn!"

"What did you say?!"

The anger on Nishino's face was extremely intense.

"Nishino-kun, let me ask you: Justice is now at a loss and corruption is rampant. Why is this happening?"

"Is it because the Westerners came in?"

"It seems not."

"Long before the 'Black Ship Incident' occurred, the country was already in turmoil."

"In the eighth year of Tianbao (1837), Oshio Heihachiro rebelled, and Osaka, the commercial capital, fell into war, and the whole country was shocked. Can you say that the uprising of Oshio Party was because of Westerners' interference?"

"Is it because the great names of the Western Kingdom are ready to take action?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case."

"It's only in the past few years that the Daimyos of the Western Kingdom are ready to make moves. Before that, the Western Kingdom vassals, including the Choshu Domain, were more obedient than rabbits in front of the shogunate."

"So, what is the reason why we are so poor all over the world?"

"The answer is simple - it's all because of the Tokugawa family's evil deeds!"

"In these two hundred years of peace, the Edo shogunate became increasingly arrogant and extravagant."

"Between high-ranking officials and important people, bribes are given and gifts are given to each other, regardless of morality and justice."

"So, he only sought personal gain for one person and his family, and received large sums of money from the people."

"For many years, it has been extremely difficult for the people to cope with the annual tribute service. Now it is being plundered again, and the civilian supplies are increasingly depleted."

"Like this situation, from the shogunate to the various vassals, they all learned from each other, and eventually the whole world was impoverished and everyone complained."

"The grievances of the people are not reported to anyone, so they lead to chaos and the people's grievances are soaring to the sky."

"However, the Tokugawa family is still inattentive, and villains and treacherous people continue to take charge of political affairs. Japan is trying to squeeze out gold and rice, and is angry with the world!"

"The common people are hungry and trapped and have no place to stand."

"The one above is wealthy with farms and newly cultivated land, and has plenty of food and clothing, and may have delicacies from the mountains and seas, and is surrounded by wives and concubines; or he may seduce the famous retainers to a wine shop in Youkuo, where he drinks and feasts lavishly and spends a lot of money."

"In this difficult time for people's livelihood, the superiors are still well-dressed and well-fed, enjoying themselves among the prostitutes and prostitutes, just like in the past. This situation and situation are really the same as King Zhou's banquet in the wine pond and the meat forest!"

"Seeing the chaos in the country without knowing how to self-examine, ignoring the common people begging for food, and being loyal to such a family and such a shogunate are no different from helping the emperor to do evil!"

"This is the time when people with lofty ideals put their lives to good use! People with insight should be enthusiastic!"

"If you want to help the troubled times, there is no other way except for the righteous deeds of reckless people to unite!"

"Although we don't have the strength of soup, the strength of martial arts, and the virtues of Confucius and Mencius, when it comes to this, we can't bear it anymore, and we have no choice but to dare to take the world as our own responsibility! Risk the disaster of annihilation of our clan!"

"Now my lord has gathered people with lofty ideals, raised up the souls of warriors, formed brothers with different surnames, and without a trace of selfishness, has risen to kill the people and officials! We are conspiring together to help the country recover!"

"I want to wipe out the shogunate and revive the political principles of Emperor Jimmu! Rebuild the moral code and wipe out the arrogance and extravagance of the past few years!"

"What we did is different from that of the ordinary generals of this dynasty, who are wise and brilliant, and it is not due to our selfish desire to steal the world!"

In 939, he launched an army against the Kyoto court and called himself the "New Emperor". In 940, he was attacked by Taira Sadamori and died from an arrow. He was known in history as "

"Pingjiangmen Rebellion".]

"The sun, moon and stars should be a clear indicator of our purpose! Gai Wei is just imitating the sincerity of Tang, Wu, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, and Taizu Ming Dynasty to punish the people and fight against evil!"

"Why don't you try to achieve great feats, but instead act like a tiger spreading its wings? Isn't that absurd?"

Rakshasa is very eloquent and knowledgeable.

Nishino, who is eloquent, has a lotus tongue, and has a lot of witty words, is not embarrassed at all by Nishino, who has received a strict martial arts education since childhood.

However, even though he talked a lot, the feedback he received... could only be described as miserable.

"..."

Nishino said nothing.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at Rakshasa.

Then he withdrew his gaze and looked into the void ahead.
