"... After our collapse, Feng Jian Yima wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

He restarted the conversation, but his voice became hoarse.

"Fortunately, at the critical moment, one of Mr. Oshio's disciples shot him in the right abdomen with a homemade rocket, causing him to temporarily lose his combat effectiveness."

"I saw it clearly... after the rocket hit his right abdomen, the blazing flames burned hideous scars on his skin that would never recover."

"In terms of military exploits, Kazami Kazuma undoubtedly made a huge contribution to the shogunate."

"Haha, he probably never thought that after making great achievements, he would end up like 'the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked'!"

"Although Mr. Oshio's uprising failed, it successfully aroused the resentment and dissatisfaction of the people of Osaka against the shogunate."

"Even though the shogunate announced that 'Oshio Heihachiro has been consecrated,' there are still many people who firmly believe that Mr. Oshio is still alive."

"There are many people who are unconvinced by this uprising that is quickly failing."

"Such things are likely to rekindle the flames of war and break out a second round of uprising."

"In order to calm people's hearts, the shogunate had no other option but to make compromises."

"While mobilizing supplies, we strive to eliminate the impact of the 'Tianbao Great Famine' so that the people of Osaka will no longer be hungry."

"While minimizing the publicity of this "big victory" as much as possible to avoid irritating the people of Osaka."

"In this way, Kazumi Kazuma is a war hero, but he has not received any commendation."

"Even official government documents rarely mention him."

"He worked tirelessly for the shogunate, only to be ruthlessly abandoned in the end... Hahahaha! He deserves it! He deserves it!!"

"After the war, he mysteriously disappeared."

"He is no longer seen in public, and nothing has been heard from him."

"It is said that he was hurt by the ruthlessness and injustice of the shogunate, so he lived in seclusion and never took part in worldly affairs from then on."

"It is also said that he went to the shogunate to ask for an explanation, but was silenced by the shogunate."

"It was also said that the wound on his abdomen worsened and he died in pain on the bed."

"No matter what the facts are, he has indeed disappeared."

"As time goes by, he is gradually forgotten by the world, and no one can remember this talented gunner who once attracted much attention."

"He carries the famous name of 'The Kiriner of Langhua'...Countless people, including me, admire him, respect him, and regard him as the pride of Osaka..."

"But he raised the butcher's knife and swung it at his compatriots..."

"I won't forgive him..."

"I will never forgive him...!"

"Although many people say he is dead, I will not give up until I see his body with my own eyes!"

"I must kill him!"

"I will plunge the knife into his chest with my own hands! Pierce his heart...cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!"

His eyes bulged, he coughed violently, and his chest rose and fell rapidly, like a bellows in a blacksmith shop.

Upon seeing this, Qingdeng immediately reached out his hand to steady his body.

"Are you okay?"

Kinoshita Mai followed closely:

"Wait a moment! I'll get you a bowl of water again!"

Kinoshita Mai was about to turn around to look for water, but Togoro waved his hand:

"No, it's not necessary... I just couldn't catch my breath just now. I'm much better now..."

He caressed his chest, turned his back to the sky, and made a harsh sound like coughing up from his throat, swallowing the air greedily.

"Haha... I seem to have accidentally talked too much..."

"I haven't talked so much in a while."

"For more than 20 years, everyone has been avoiding me and calling me crazy for fear of avoiding me."

"I know that everyone secretly calls me the 'remnant of the Great Salt Party'."

"Haha...this title really compliments me..."

“To this day, the heroes of the Great Salt Party are still running around and fighting bravely to realize Mr. Great Salt’s ideal of ‘a world of great harmony’.”

"I'm just a coward who's scared to the point of weakness in his legs when fighting, but moves like a rabbit when he's running away... How can I be compared with the heroes of the Great Salt Party?"

"Instead of calling me the 'dead man of the Great Salt Party', it would be more accurate to say that I am the 'dead man of the Great Salt Army'."

"I died on the battlefield 26 years ago..."

Togoro finished speaking.

I don't know whether it was because he had vented his anger by roaring just now, or something else, but his complexion became much better and his eyes became clear again.

"Thank you... for being willing to listen to the ramblings of this old madman like me."

As he spoke, he held on to the earth wall behind him and stood up unsteadily.

"I'm leaving."

"On the occasion of parting, I have a heartfelt request."

"If you meet someone who seems to be Kazami Kazuma in the future, please be sure to come to Osaka and notify me."

"I've been wandering the streets of Osaka and it's easy to find me."

"I have no other expectations in this life. I only hope to kill Kazuma Kazuma with my own hands before I die...!"

"If this wish cannot be realized, I will not die in peace..."

After that, he staggered away without waiting for a response from Qingto and Kinoshita Mai, heading straight to the dim street corner in the distance.

Qingto and Kinoshita Mai stood there, silently watching his back.

After a while, silence returned to the surroundings - the figure of the old monk had disappeared from their sight.

However, the two of them were still standing there in a daze, you looked at me, I looked at you... About 10 seconds later, the person who spoke the first sentence was Kinoshita Mai.

"What a heavy story..."

Qingden nodded in agreement.

Unexpectedly, tonight’s “night outing” would bring an unexpected surprise—accidentally knowing such a tragic and heavy story...

Togoro's inner world is actually not difficult to understand.

The hero I once admired suddenly transformed into a ruthless executioner who massacred the Osaka rebels...

Such a huge contrast and blow can cause a huge and irreversible impact on people's original outlook on life.

In fact, from a certain perspective, Kazami Kazuma is similar to the "dark version of Tachibana Aoden".

Also incredibly talented.

He also made great contributions to the shogunate.

He is also a young man in his prime.

But in the end, the two of them got very different endings due to different choices and different opportunities.

A hero who became highly respected by the people and famous all over the world.

The other one became a poor person who was covered up by the shogunate and couldn't even pass down his name...

——Feng Jian Yima...

Qingdeng silently remembered this name.
