(Correction: The previous Takasugi Shinsaku was changed to the Choshu clan official. At this time, Okita did not know the identity of the group)
Zhang Heng had already thought about it. While dealing with a Satsuma clan warrior who rushed up, he said to Souji Okita on the other side, "Hey, let's discuss something."
"What's the matter?" Okita Souji was busy coughing and killing people, but he still didn't forget to reply despite his busy schedule. Even in the bloody battle, his posture was still very elegant, and the sword was like a sword hanging in the sky. The half-moon exudes a faint cold light, unstoppable wherever it passes.
"It must be a pity that your Shinsengumi failed to kill Katsura Kogoro (Kido Takayun) at Ikedaya before." Zhang Heng said, "It's rare that you have a chance to make up for it now. Do you want to watch it slip away from your hands?" go."
"What do you mean?" Okita Souji raised his eyebrows.
"Takasugi Shinsaku is among that group of people." Zhang Heng said simply.
"What?" Okita Souji was stunned, "Didn't that guy... just die not long ago?"
"That's not the case... I just saw him before, and he was still very active and busy preparing for the end of the world by force."
"Ah, these people are so annoying. No wonder Kondo-sensei said it was all because of them that the world was in chaos." Souji Okita shook his head and said he was quite dissatisfied with those rebels.
But in fact, he himself didn't know what bad things Takasugi Shinsaku and others had done. Anyway, they just chopped it off as the teacher told them to. Okita was not a stupid person, but he was indeed surprisingly lazy in some things and didn't want to use his brain at all.
"If we chase him now, we might still be able to catch him." Zhang Heng reminded.
"Huh?" Okita's head was spinning fast again at this time, "You want to count Jumaru Tsuneji, and Jumaru Tsuneci is said to be in the hands of Nakamura Hanjiro. So, Nakamura Hanjiro is protecting Takasugi Shinsaku. ?”
"That's right, if we catch up with Takasugi Shinsaku, we can each get what we need." Zhang Heng finally laid out the conditions for cooperation.
Okita Souji's eyes widened, "...I think you are a bit too bold. Most people who are ambushed and assassinated will think about getting out of danger quickly. It's better for you. Not only did you not escape, but you even tried to escape again." Kill them at the door."
"If it was just me, I would have escaped by now, but with you, there is still a certain chance of success, but you have to make a decision quickly, otherwise Takasugi Shinsaku may run away." Zhang It was rare for Heng to be sincere.
"Since you don't care about the danger, then I, the captain of the Shinsengumi 1st Team, have no reason to back down!" Okita Souji has a young heart and is unwilling to be inferior to others. What's more, he saw Zhang Heng's sword skills tonight. While admiring, I was also aroused with pride in my heart.
So the two of them changed their direction, no longer running towards the door, but towards the side door instead.
Their actions immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the tea house, and really shocked many people! Especially those warriors from Choshu and Satsuma who stayed behind.
The old samurai who was leading the group no longer had the good-natured smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with blazing anger.
"Asshole! Damn it, you don't take us seriously!"
While shouting, he raised his sword and rushed towards Zhang Heng and Okita. The other warriors followed behind him, also swearing.
"Just in time!" Okita became completely excited when he saw this.
It had been a long time since the battle at Ikedaya that he had never thought of fighting so happily tonight. Although he had been fighting for a long time, the secretion of adrenaline made him completely forget about the pain and fatigue in his body. He only felt that the knife in his hand had never felt like it. Feeling so light now.
He is at his peak at this moment!
Seeing his opponent coming towards him, Okita Souji was naturally polite and used his most popular three-stage flat stabbing move "Hiraishan Eye". The tip of the knife drooped and tilted to the right. From this position, he pressed down steadily. Catching the opponent's knife, he raised his hand suddenly and slashed it down with lightning and flint force. At this time, the door in front of the opponent was wide open, as if he was sent to be chopped.
The older samurai is experienced in many battles and has encountered all kinds of opponents. Although he knows that the two people in front of him are powerful, he is also quite confident in his own martial arts. As long as he can withstand the first few attacks, then he The companions behind him can also kill him, and then his pressure will be reduced a lot. Even if it is not easy to win, at least he will not lose.
However, although his abacus was good, the reality was much crueler than he imagined. He didn't even see clearly how the young man in front of him drew the knife, and he was struck on the neck. The world began to spin in his eyes, and he The last question in my mind is why the trees in the yard grow sideways.
After killing an opponent, Okita Souji was not very happy, because Zhang Heng on the other side also killed an enemy quickly and neatly. This round, the two of them could only be considered a tie at best, not to mention the guy who died in front of him. He doesn’t even know his name, so he probably plays a small role.
"Come again!!!" Okita geared up and continued to look for the next prey.
"Don't forget about business." Zhang Heng couldn't help but remind him again after seeing the rise of Okita Kill.
"You are right. Only by getting rid of Takasugi Shinsaku can the world be at peace for a while." Souji Okita followed suit. The two of them fought for a while, defeating the samurai who stayed behind and defeated the remaining rebel forces in the tea house. The power has become less and less, until it is no longer able to stop the two people's subsequent actions.
Zhang Heng eliminated the enemy closest to him, then rushed to the side door, raised his head and looked outside, then quickly retracted his head.
Gunshots ring out!
However, this time the Satsuma warrior who was ambushing a black gun in the alley had not even had time to pull out the sword from his waist. Zhang Heng strode up and slit his throat. Okita Souji followed closely and drove away. There were two annoying flies behind him. His face was red from the violent exercise, and he couldn't help coughing loudly at the same time.
"Are you okay?" Zhang Heng did not forget that the boy next to him was suffering from tuberculosis and cough just like Takasugi Shinsaku, but Souji Okita's current condition was relatively better.
"It's okay. This is an old problem of mine. I've had it since I was a child. Just take it a step back and it'll be fine." Souji Okita looked indifferent. After saying that, he didn't forget to add, "It's okay if you don't take it a step. It’s more important to chase people.”
Zhang Heng said noncommittally, "You should take a rest for a while. I just want to confirm the current location of the group." After saying that, he climbed up to a nearby townhouse and searched for the locations of Takasugi Shinsaku and Nakamura Hanjiro from a high position. The harvest was about to come. The warriors of the two vassals who escaped from the tea house divided into two groups, one going west and one going east.
Takasugi Shinsaku should be hiding among these people.
