"Damn it...! My chessboard has been disrupted again...!"

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak.

Katsura Kogoro didn't say a word, just remained silent, allowing Iwakura Tomomi to curse and vent.

After about 5 minutes, Iwakura Tomomi gradually stopped talking and his mood gradually calmed down.

After a while, he slowly raised his gaze and stared directly at Katsura Kogoro.

The violent look on his face has faded.

Instead, there was a cheerful and bright expression.

"Mr. Gui, I am now somewhat interested in your proposal of 'secret cooperation between the imperial court and Changzhou'."

"..."

Katsura Kogoro still didn't speak.

However, the slightly upturned corners of his lips had revealed his true inner emotions.

Satsuma Domain Residence——

Saigo Kinnosuke stood upright on the verandah, with his hands behind his hands, facing the bright sunshine and looking up at the courtyard scenery with great interest.

Suddenly, Komatsu appeared behind him with a knife.

"Saigo-kun, the Tosa samurai who calls himself 'Sakamoto Ryoma' is here again."

"He strongly claimed that 'Only by realizing the Satsuma Alliance and working together to overthrow the Edo shogunate can Japan have a glorious future."

Saigo Kinosuke raised his eyebrows:

"'Japan'? Ha, what a strange guy..."

As he spoke, he looked up at the boundless sky.

"...Komatsu-kun, drive him away. I have no need to see him right now."

Xiaosong narrowed his eyes with the knife and laughed dumbly:

"'Temporarily'...Okay, I understand."

After saying that, he bowed and then retreated into the far corner of the corridor in three steps and two steps at a time.

Saigo Kinosuke withdrew his gaze from the other party and looked into the distance.

After a while, he whispered softly at a volume that only he could hear clearly:

"'Sa Zhang Alliance'... It's not the best time to join forces yet..."
