Several more Shinsengumi members wearing light green haori jumped out of the darkness: "Captain, we are here to support you!"
"No need!" Gensaburo Inoue shouted, "...let me do it here by myself, and you go catch the other one."
"Yes!" Several team members rushed towards Okada Izo.
Zuo Cun sighed and closed his eyes.
"Inoue...I'm sorry."
When I opened my eyes again, all the nostalgia and hesitation disappeared, and all that was left... was seriousness.
He He turned around, and Zuo Cun's figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
"This speed——!" Gensaburo Inoue subconsciously looked into the air.
left!
His hair instantly stood up due to the sense of crisis, and Genzaburo Inoue subconsciously moved a small step to the right.
boom--
He He slashed at the ground, and a crack several meters long appeared on the ground.
"...You've made some progress, Inoue."
"You are not the only one who has made progress, Zuo Cun."
Inoue immediately stepped forward.
Ping——
Snapped--
A fight like a torrential rain unfolded between the two.
"I'm-!"
"always there--!"
Genzaburo Inoue roared, attacking Zuomura non-stop.
"Chasing the Chief--chasing you!"
Ping——
Genzaburo Inoue's sword was cut off directly by He He.
But Gensaburo Inoue's attack was not ineffective.
Zuo Cun wiped the wound on his face and smiled.
Bang——
After kicking Genzaburo Inoue in the abdomen, Samura did not use a knife, but directly hit Genzaburo Inoue's jaw with his fist.
"Pfft——"
Samura jumped up in an instant and kicked Inoue back to the ground.
In the air, Zuo Cun slowly took a stance.
"New Yulun, one of the other wings."
Zuo Cun looked at Inoue lying on the ground.
"Tsururu."
Zheng——! ! !
A slash like lightning struck at Gensaburo Inoue.
Genzaburo Inoue closed his eyes subconsciously.
But the expected slash did not come.
He slowly opened his eyes and saw Zuo Cun with a cold face and He He standing in front of him.
"Are you humiliating me?" Inoue asked through gritted teeth.
"...I thought you still remember." Zuo Cun's eyes were a little disappointed.
"Remember...what..." Gensaburo Inoue asked, remembering something.
Zuocun sighed, sheathed the crane, turned around, and walked towards Izo's battlefield.
"This is not pity, nor is it humiliation. It is just fulfilling the agreement."
"Inoue, next time I see you -" Zuo Cun turned around and looked at Inoue who was still lying on the ground, his eyes looked particularly cold under the moonlight, "I will kill you."
Inoue looked at Zuocun's back and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"You guy..."
Before Inoue could finish speaking, he lost consciousness.
Before he fell into coma, he thought sadly:
I'm not even qualified to be your opponent anymore...
Zuocun hurried to where Okada Izo was.
Izo was furious. Although he was besieged by several people, he did not lose at all, and even steadily suppressed the members of the Shinsengumi.
"You guys -" Yi Zang was also injured, and his eyes were dyed red with blood, "It's two hundred years too early to kill me -"
He aimed at a Shinsengumi member and slashed from the bottom up.
“This is—Tenchuahahahahahaha!!!”
Ping!
Izo slashed at the members of the Shinsengumi team but Samura stopped him.
"Zuocun? What are you doing?" Yi Zang was surprised.
"We'll talk about it later." Zuomura looked at the faces of the new members of the Shinsengumi team and silently memorized it.
"Hey, why are you here *** Captain, he...ah——!"
This team member questioned Zuo Cun with some anger and fear, and then Zuo Cun jumped up and punched him on the head.
"Your squad leader is fine, he was just knocked unconscious by me." Zuo Cun jumped up again without pausing.
Half a minute later, all five members of the Shinsengumi were knocked unconscious by Samura.
He sighed.
Okita......
"Hey, Zuocun, what happened? Mr. Takeshi and the others..." Yi Tibetan spoke incoherently, "Also, why didn't you kill them? They all..."
"Mr. Okada!" Zuo Cun interrupted Okada Izo, with a trace of dullness in his eyes, "...come with me, I will explain everything clearly to you."
"...Okay." Okada Izo looked at the expressionless Zuo Cun, feeling a little shuddering for some reason.
...
"That's what happened." Zuocun and Izo were sitting in Ruishan's room in Wu City.
Zuocun did not tell Okada Izo all the truth, but only told him that the anti-barbarian elements were being eliminated across the country. Takeshi Ruishan, as the leader of the largest anti-barbarian organization, naturally could not escape this disaster.
After listening to Zuo Cun's words, Okada Izo stood up suddenly.
"What do you want to do?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I'm going to save Mr. Takeichi!" Okada Izo put on his clothes.
"...I went to see Mr. Takeshi before I got here...I sneaked into the prison to see him."
Wow——
Izo grabbed Zuocun's collar, his eyes red: "You bastard - then why didn't you rescue Mr. Takeshi? Don't you know what the end will be for Mr. Takeshi!?"
Zuocun tilted his head slightly.
"Mr. Takeichi...won't let me rescue him."
"What-" Okada Izo froze in shock.
Zuocun broke away from Izo's hand and came to the cabinet in the corner of Ruishan's room in Takeshi.
Zheng——!
Zuocun cut open the outer shell of the cabinet, and a compartment leaked out.
Samura searched for it, took out two letters from the compartment, put the one with a red seal in his arms, and then handed the one with a black seal to Okada Izo.
"Mr. Takeichi...asked me to give it to you." He did not look at Okada Izo's face.
Yi Zang looked at Zuo Cun and took the letter from Zuo Cun's hand with some trembling.
Open the letter and read the contents.
"Okada Izo, my disciple, my subordinate."
"By the time you read this letter, I will probably be in jail with no bright future ahead."
"I'm here to warn you, don't try to rescue me. This is my last order as the leader of the Qinwang Party to kill people, Okada Izo."
"I have anticipated this day for a long time, because the goal of resisting the foreigners is simply impossible to achieve."
"You are my proud disciple. I and others will insist in prison that the Qinwang Party does not have people like you, so after the limelight is over, you can go back to Tosa. You are still young and should not die so early. .”
"Remember, Yi Zang, you must live well."
Signed: Wushi Banpingtai.
Yi Zang held the letter, his body couldn't help shaking, and tears flowed down.
"Mr. Takeichi...why did you..."
He gritted his teeth.
Bang——
Izo's head hit the ground hard and he held Takeshi Ruishan's Shinmi in his arms.
He was crying and yelling at the top of his lungs.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——”
