Chapter 17: Protecting You

The death of Miyabe brought the battle to an end, and only a small trash fish remained in the Ikeda House to resist stubbornly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Do you still need my help?" asked Yingluo kindly as he jumped off the roof.

"No!" Isamu Kondo bowed slightly: "Thank you for your help, but the corpse is too fragmented to judge the identity, please leave the rest to us." ”

The guys who died under Yingluo's hands are basically gone, scattered, and not very easy to fight, which greatly increases the workload.

Yingluo pouted: "Well, I will accept your praise with great mercy." Then, despite Isamu Kondo's constipated expression, he came to the side of the director.

The latter, who had undergone emergency treatment, was lying on a stretcher and was being taken to the medical center.

The bullet broke two of her ribs, but fortunately did not hurt vital organs, which means that although the injury was severe, it was not life-threatening.

She also has the body of a swordsman.

"Then, the knife will be returned to you!" Yingluo put Ju Yiwen beside the general director, and cleaned up the messy hair on her forehead for her: "You owe me a supper, and you will have to make up for it after the injury is healed." ”

The Director-General did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "You...... Why come? I remember you said you wouldn't join the Shinsengumi. ”

"I haven't joined the Shinsengumi yet!" Yingluo spread his hands: "I didn't carry the Chengzi flag, nor did I wear a mountain pattern feather, how do you think I'm just a kind passerby, right?" ”

"If I really want to say it, I guess as I said before, I want to protect the happiness I see. If Kyoto is destroyed in flames, won't the next year's prayer garden festival be ruined?"

Is that so? Sure enough, Yingluo can only have the answer. The general secretary smiled, but his heart was inexplicably empty.

"And ......"

And?

"And I want to protect you more than Kyoto. If you can't even protect your own happiness, how can you protect the happiness of others?" Yingluo smiled and stroked the face of the general director: "So, don't cry, I will protect you!"

Okita Soji's face was filled with tears at some point, this was the first time she had cried since she was a child, and it was also the first time she had become a protected person.

"Recuperate with peace of mind and get better soon!"

"Hmm!"

The general secretary was sent away, Yingluo looked at it for a while, and then snorted: "It's time to get down to business." Bai Meixiang, that little ghost is only fifteen years old, early love is not good, Kenshin!"

……

Kenshin, who was hidden on the side, shrank into the darkness, and he trembled all over, cold sweat covering his forehead. Xue Daiba had never seen him so panicked, so he took his cold hand and said, "Since we know that Mr. Gui is not here, let's leave quickly." ”

Yes, Katsura Kogoro didn't come to the rally, which was a blessing in misfortune, so Kenshin had no reason to clash head-on with the Shinsengumi.

"Well, let's go, let's go back to Ogiya first. ”

The two ran all the way, and Kenshin never let go of Xuedaiba's hand.

"Boss, have you seen Mr. Gui?"

"No, but I've heard that something happened to Ikedaya. The proprietress handed Kenshin a package: "It's also dangerous here, so leave through the back door!"

Kenshin didn't refuse, bowing slightly.

The proprietress said to Xuedaiba again: "This is your share, and your diary is also in it, don't worry, I didn't peek." ”

Xuedaiba took it: "Thank you very much!"

"Ba-chan, you know what?"

"What?"

"Calamus is the most fragrant flower in the rain. The proprietress smiled and said, "Even in the midst of the bloody storm." ”

Xuedaiba was stunned for a moment, bowed solemnly: "Yes, I remember!" and ran out of the door with Kenshin.

"In this way, his eyes can be gentle......" The proprietress looked at the empty little Ogiya and smiled bitterly: "People, they always know how to cherish after losing." ”

Kenshin and Xuedaiba came to the alley at the back door, and a person walked out of the shadows: "Scarlet Village!"

"Mr. Katsura, it's great to see you're okay!" Kenshin said happily.

"But I'd rather die. Katsura Kogoro said with a wry smile: "All the forces of the Choshu Domain in Kyoto have been severely attacked, and I have nothing left now!"

"Mr. Gui......"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to fall until a new era is built. Katsura Kogoro said, "Now it's imperative to escape from Kyoto." I have prepared a house in Otsu, and you can live there as husband and wife. ”

"Husband and wife?" Kenshin and Xuedaiba are both the same.

Katsura Kogoro nodded: "Well, to hide your identity, pretending to be a husband and wife is the best." Iizuka will contact you, and you are there for the time being, waiting for news, don't act rashly. Then I'll go first, take care, Scarlet Village!"

"If I work for you, will I still divide the house and the woman? The benefits are really good, I am a little moved!" a female voice suddenly sounded.

"Who is it?" Katsura snorted softly, drew his sword, and in front of him was a young woman in a samurai uniform, her long hair fluttering in the night wind, blocking the exit of the alley.

It's Yingluo who came to find Kenshin.

"I was just looking for my stupid brother, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. You're a big man, and I'm worried that I don't have a gift for visiting the sick, so if I can catch you, the head office should be very happy. Yingluo said happily.

"Brother?" Katsura Kogoro glanced at Kenshin: "You are the sister of Scarlet Village?

"I'm not going to take refuge with anyone, do you think I'm as stupid as Kenshin?"

"Scarlet Village is not stupid, he really wants to open a new era before joining us!"

"New era, burned out of the fire, Kyoto tonight, Edo tomorrow, Osaka the day after tomorrow...... A new era full of ashes?" Yingluo's tone became cold: "Are you joking?"

Katsura Kogoro felt as if he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders, and the invisible pressure made his calves tremble uncontrollably: "No, that's not what I meant! I tried my best to oppose it, but my opinion was not adopted!"

"Is this what you call the Restoration?" Ying Luo said with a sneer, "Even you are at odds with each other, and you want to create a new era where everyone is happy?"

Her words are as sharp as knives, and every sentence is right to the point, is she really a peasant girl hidden in the mountains and forests?

"It's useless to talk more!" Gui Xiaogoro didn't dare to say more, but put up his knife: "Get out of the way, don't force me to make a move!"

"Hmph, if you can't say it, you have to use force, either obey or kill. That's what you asked Kenshin to do, right?"

Katsura Kogoro was shocked, and this time he didn't even answer, and rushed forward with a loud shout.

"Don't, be merciful!" Kenshin finally came to his senses from his stupor, and hurriedly shouted.

But not against Katsura Kogoro, who launched the attack, but against the defenseless Yingluo.

Katsura Kogoro was also a famous swordsman, and although he was in a high position, he never let go of his swordsmanship. This sword far surpasses that of ordinary samurai, and it also has a unique coercion of a high-ranking person, which is really a thunderous blow.

But unfortunately, what he met was Yingluo, a ghost.
