"Well, ahem... My body... Hey, thanks to Vice Captain Omaeda, he... ahem... helps me deal with a lot of things on weekdays. Otherwise... ahem... I don't know how much business would be delayed. , I also feel... ahem... uneasy." Ukitake seemed to be struggling to speak at this time.
Anyone with a bit of discernment, seeing how he was struggling to speak, should leave.
However, Yilong seemed not to notice anything, and asked Ukitake normally: "What does Captain Ukitake think of the penalty result of Mao No. 46?"
"Indeed... ahem... it's too heavy, but considering... ahem... the laws of Soul Society have been weakened recently... ahem... Mao No. 46 probably also wants to... ahem, clarify the canon of punishments... Cough cough cough... And the head of the Kuchiki family... the head of the family... cough cough..." Ukitake coughed and shook his head as if he was out of breath.
Yilong felt uncomfortable hearing this and secretly pinched his earrings - adding a Kidō technique to block the coughing sound.
Well, this way you don’t have to listen to it and feel distressed!
Regarding Ukitake's unfinished words, Ichiryu also understood the meaning - perhaps Ukitake felt that the reason for the harsh sentence was to make Kuchiki Byakuya plead for mercy?
After all, the nobles of Soul Society have become corrupt to a certain extent...
The strict self-disciplined Kuchiki Byakuya, as the head of the noble Kuchiki family, is definitely an outlier among the "nobles".
On the one hand, Ukitake was indeed heartbroken by Kuchiki Byakuya's determination - even if his "sister" was to be executed, he would never "please". On the other hand, he also understood Kuchiki's position very well, and even... supported it!
Ukitake himself was born in the Ukitake family of lower-level nobles, so he understood this very well - it must be said that Ukitake, who was in a higher position, thought higher than others... at least he did not doubt that it was the "Sifengyuan Yilong entering the slander".
Yilong also felt that Ukitake's idea actually made sense!
The reason why Kuchiki Byakuya didn't "please" was really for this reason...
After "adopting Rukia" against the rules, Byakuya Kuchiki has sworn not to violate the "rules" again, and to do as his grandfather said - the Kuchiki family must set an example for the nobility.
Even though Byakuya Kuchiki was the one who least wanted Rukia to be executed, he still carried it and did not "please".
This is not "stubbornness", but... Soul Society really needs such nobles. Even Soul Society's nobles, under Byakuya Kuchiki's "leading by example", have become like this...
If even Kuchiki Byakuya "falls", I am afraid that the bottom line will be even more "fallen".
"Hey, I didn't expect that Master Kuchiki would actually..." Yilong said, shaking his head and following Ukitake's words.
This is actually true logically...
Unless the nobles are fighting against each other, how can the nobles be executed so easily?
Not to mention a noble of the Kuchiki family’s level!
Under normal circumstances, even if Kuchiki Byakuya is bored and kills a few innocent Shinigami to relieve his boredom, as long as he is willing to go to the "Golden Seal Noble Council" and "Mao No. 46 Room" for public relations, all the 46 Rooms will It would only be announced on the spot that the people killed were traitors, and that the Kuchiki family leader had heroically killed the enemy and should be commended.
"No, it must be because of Captain Kuchiki that...ahem, I made a mistake." Ukitake was about to sigh, but then he remembered who was in front of him and quickly stopped.
Yilong looked at Ukitake curiously - I blocked my cough, and I heard you "cough"...were those two fake coughs? You're coughing like this, and you still have fake coughs intermittently?
"Haha, it's Master Kuchiki who doesn't know how to adapt." Yilong mocked in a way that fit his position.
Apparently Ukitake Jūshirō felt at this time that the reason why "Mao No. 46" made such a fuss and sentenced Rukia harshly this time was to drag Kuchiki Byakuya into the water. After all, this "benchmark" was too unsociable.
In Jutsuro Ukitake's opinion, this was a threat from the nobles to the Kuchiki family. By taking a step back, Kuchiki Byakuya could save his sister's life, but from now on this "benchmark" would be greatly reduced!
It's a very aristocratic and very reasonable idea - Ukitake was born into a noble family, understands the nobles, and... criticizes these nobles in his heart!
If Mao Room 46 had the chance, he might actually do this.
It's just that they didn't have this chance. From the time they ordered the capture of Lucia, there were forty-six corpses in Room 46...
If Byakuya Kuchiki really goes to "beg for mercy", he will only be surprised to find that - the Kuchiki family, the oldest noble in Soul Society and one of the four major nobles now, I, the head of the family, can't ask for this favor?
At that time, we will indirectly discover the strangeness of the forty-sixth room, and it is very likely that we will be aware of Aizen's conspiracy.
It's just...there's no such "if"!
Kuchiki Byakuya had no intention of compromising.
Ichiryu even suspected that Aizen was sure that Byakuya Kuchiki would not do this.
By now, Yilong had basically seen that Ukitake didn't know anything, otherwise it would be difficult for this sick man to pretend to be so natural, but he still didn't give up and continued to ask: "What does Captain Ukitake think about the travel accident?"
"The Thirteenth Division is a purification team. The travel disaster... is a human being, so it has nothing to do with our team." Ukitake didn't seem to want to say anything more in this regard.
But Yilong pretended to be surprised at this time and asked: "Huh? But there is an acting God of Death among them!"
Ukitake's expression suddenly changed.
Even if he blocked out the coughing sound and only looked at the "image", Yilong could tell that he was coughing harder...
Seeing this, Yilong quickly stepped forward and patted Ukitake on the back with concern, and said: "The first acting Shinigami was Captain Ukitake's companion, right?
"No, no, no, Captain Ukitake, don't worry, I don't mean to doubt your collusion with him...
"I just thought you would care about other acting gods of death!
"Speaking of which, Room 46 of Zhenyang is so concerned about this travel disaster. Could it be because of the thought of that...what is it called...
"Oh, by the way, it's Ginjo Kugo, right?"
The more Yilong talked, the more excited Ukitake became and the more violent he coughed. However, Yilong blocked the coughing sound and didn't hear anything until...
"Ugh...poof! Huh..."
Yilong blocked the sound of coughing, but did not block the sound of vomiting blood. Ukitake was seen vomiting a mouthful of blood on the handkerchief, and his eyes became trance-like.
Obviously the name "Ginjo Kugo" made him very shaken.
"Captain Ukitake, you should pay more attention to rest..." Yilong looked comforting.
At this moment, Sentaro and Toraune, who heard the commotion, both rushed in. While supporting Captain Ukitake, they pushed Ichiryu away angrily and warily.
"Vice Captain Shifengyuan! How can you... say that... that guy's name in front of Captain Ukitake?" Sentaro Kotsubaki said angrily - he still heard a little of what was said later.
