Iizuka and Kenshin sat in the room opposite each other, their faces solemn, and the news he brought was not good. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter the Great Fire of Kyoto, the conservatives in the Choshu domain gained the upper hand, and they began to purge the radicals in the domain in order to curry favor with the shogunate. All of a sudden, the so-called reformers of the Choshu Domain changed from a pioneer who worried about the country and the people to a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten.

"Purge...... Hushin?" Kenshin lowered his head.

"Well, people are arrested every day, and every day people commit suicide by cutting their abdomen under persecution, it's miserable!"

"Mr. Gui, is there still no news?" Kenshin asked again.

Iizuka shook his head: "After last time, I lost my voice completely. Many people in Fannai ridiculed him and called him 'Runaway Kogoro'. ”

"Haha. With laughter, Eiro walked in, "Shouldn't it be 'Sleeping Kogoro'?"

Iizuka was startled when he saw Eiroku, his face changed greatly, he took a few steps back to the corner, and said with a frightened face: "You, why are you here?"

Yingluo snorted: "I live in my brother's house, do I still need your consent?"

"No, no!" Iizuka hurriedly waved his hand, and said to Kenshin again: "Scarlet Village, you can live here in peace during this time, the money is in my salute, and it was given to you by Mr. Katabei." By the way, you can use the contents to make some herbs and sell them, and it is better to hide your identity if you have a serious career. That's all, goodbye!"

He finished speaking in a hurry, and without waiting for an answer, he almost ran away.

Kenshin shouted a few times, but the other party turned a deaf ear.

"Gee, it looks like he's scared of me. Yingluo gloated and said: "It just so happens that I don't like him either, with a villain's face." ”

Ba nodded silently, and Kenshin smiled bitterly.

Women may be more sensitive to malice.

After dinner, Kenshin began his routine cultivation, but he didn't make much progress, and he could still only cut out five swords, and he was a little discouraged.

"Don't worry, all you need now is precipitation. Yingluo comforted: "Swordsmanship is just like people, sometimes it is too intimate, but it will cause estrangement. It may be better to pause for a while and think of yourself as an ordinary farmer. ”

Kenshin looked a little helpless: "It's so much need for strength at the moment, but I can't even swing the sword well, I'm really ashamed." ”

"A sword can't change the world. The reason why the world is changing is because most people want to change, and it is not something that a swordsman like you and me can decide, nor can a politician like the Choshu domain or the shogunate change. ”

After Yingluo finished speaking, she stopped talking about this topic, and she patted Kenshin's shoulder: "If you can't master the nine-headed dragon flash all the time, just think about bullets." ”

"Bullets?" Kenshin asked strangely.

"Not bad. Yingluo replied: "The nine-headed dragon flash is the same as a bullet, except for the speed, it is a worthless second-rate move, the offensive track is single, and there is no room for change." But the reason why bullets can be feared is because of their innate desire to die. ”

"To the death?"

"Well, from the moment the bullet is fired, its fate has been decided, whether it hits the enemy or not, it will never return. When you have such momentum, the nine-headed dragon flash will naturally learn. ”

Kenshin was thoughtful.

Yingluo smiled: "Don't worry, with your qualifications, you will be able to understand one day!"

When she woke up the next day, Yingluo was gone, as abruptly as she had come.

"Could it be that it's in the mountains?" asked Ba.

"No, she's gone. Kenshin pointed to the door, where Kikuichi's text had been placed, but now it was gone.

Xiao Kaoru cried, Ba held her in his arms, shaking and coaxing, but Xiao Kaoru, who was obedient in the past, is extremely abnormal today, and she can't stop no matter what.

Kenshin's face was solemn.

Leave the sword technique and Kaoru Konobu, but take away the Kikuichi text.

Orphans?

He sighed, worried.

Sister Yingluo, what are you going to do?

……

……

Fukuhara Echigo returned to his residence with his tired body, and the beautiful concubine served fragrant tea, and then sat aside and played elegant music, and the flute fluttered, with a bit of calm, which also made him relax.

He took a sip of tea and rubbed his swollen brow.

Now that the conservatives in the Changzhou domain are in power, he is not having a good time as a radical boss. Even if he is an elder of the family, he is a man of men, and he will inevitably make concessions.

Damn it, he even blamed him for the Kyoto fire, saying that it caused the death of innocent people and had a bad impact.

Are you kidding? Those untouchables are dead, what is there to care about? The conservative guys say that they don't kill the untouchables at every turn, and who cares about such a trivial matter.

It's a pity that the timing is not right, and this has become an excuse for the other party to attack him.

Hmph, a bunch of mediocre guys!

This era is over, and a new era must be established. Bloodshed is a must, and those who die can be the cornerstone of a new era, which can be considered a little valuable.

No one understands me, how much effort I have put into this country, why does no one understand?

They even want to curry favor with the shogunate, what is there to remember about that rotten government, the future must be a new world!

A new world built by me!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing a few times, immersed in pride and longing.

At the same time, the song of the beautiful concubine ended, and the flute stopped.

The music is beautiful, but no one appreciates it. Whether it's the beautiful concubine herself, or Fukuhara Echigo, she doesn't care.

For the beautiful concubine, this is a begging job.

For Fukuhara Echigo, this is just a sign.

He is different, a sign of superiority!

But unexpectedly, as the song ended, there was a sound of applause.

"That's good!"

Both of them were startled, and turned their heads to look, and found that at some point, there was a long-haired woman sitting in the corner, wearing a samurai uniform, with a sword pinned to her waist, and beautiful petals carved on the hilt.

Yingluo and Kikuichi appear here at the same time.

The beautiful concubine wanted to scream, but when she saw the other party's eyes sweeping, her whole body seemed to fall into an ice cave, not only could she not make a sound, but she couldn't even move.

What a pure sword aura!

Fukuhara Echigo narrowed his eyes, he has been in a high position for a long time, he has seen many capable people, and there are many swordsmen, but he has never seen such a pure sword qi.

Although this woman is still three steps away from herself, it only takes a short moment to kill herself.

He quickly made a judgment, and instead of calling for protection, he said with an appreciative look: "Your Excellency, being an assassin in the shadows is really useless. If you come and be my retainer, I will be honored."

Yingluo came to Fukuhara Echigo and sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea: "In the end, it is the eldest lord of the upper position, not only is he not afraid, but he also wants to recruit me." But apart from knowing a little swordsmanship, I don't know anything about governing the country and people's livelihood, is this okay?"

Fukuhara Echigo chuckled: "Hehe, Your Excellency doesn't need to worry. Someone else does these things, you just need to keep me safe. ”

"It's obviously an official, but you can easily appoint him with a word, and you don't even know anything about political affairs. In other words, is it useful to you, is it the standard for officials?" Yingluo sneered: "I probably understand why this country has become like this." ”

Fukuhara Echigo's face changed: "Then Your Excellency refused? It doesn't matter, the master always has a backbone! What about the money? How much money your employer paid, I will triple it for you!"

"It's a big deal, it's tripled without asking. Yingluo took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and then said: "It's a pity, what I want is my life!"

"Hmph, isn't the price wrong?" Fukuhara Echigo was a little anxious, but he said calmly on his face: "Then even if you open your mouth, as long as you can let me go, I can give you anything!"

Ying Luo rolled his eyes and pointed at the beautiful concubine: "Then let her leave, I want to let her leave as usual." ”

Fukuhara Echigo was stunned: "Why? aren't you afraid that she will go out and call the guards?"

"If she was there when I took you, she would be suspicious, so let her go, and we can have two more cups of tea so that no one will suspect her. After Yingluo finished speaking, he said confidently: "As for the guards, if they come, they will all be killed!"

Fukuhara Echigo swallowed and spitted, he felt that the female swordsman in front of him was not talking big.

To stay alive, he nodded.

Yingluo also canceled the sword qi exerted on the beautiful concubine.

"Stand down, I want to be alone, don't let anyone disturb me. Although Fukuhara Echigo said this, the meaning in his eyes was all "You quickly call someone to save me!"

The beautiful concubine trembled, obviously frightened.

She looked at her master, who was glaring at her with fiery eyes.

Looking at the female swordsman again, the other party smiled and asked with concern: "What, is it because of the numbness of the legs?" Don't worry, take your time. ”

She quickly shook her head and struggled to her feet.

In this way, the concubine retired. ”

She bowed, glanced at Fukuhara Echigo, stepped back, and closed the paper door.

Fukuhara Echigo was much more relaxed, and it seemed that the victory was in his hands, and he took the initiative to raise the teacup to Yingluo: "Let's have another drink, maybe next, you will never be able to drink again." ”

"Really?" Ying Luo smiled, not caring at all, "Then I really want to drink more." ”

The beautiful concubine walked back to her room, and there were several women with the same status as her, and it was a little strange to see her come back.

One of them stepped forward and asked, "Why is it so early today?"

She didn't answer, closed the door, bolted it, blew out the candles, and then said solemnly to the women: "Stay in the house, don't go anywhere, don't care if you hear anything!"

"Why?"

The beautiful concubine froze, and then showed a smile: "Probably, it's to help a good person." ”

To be able to even attract guards to protect himself, such a person should not die here.

She is inferior to her status, not her character, she can sell her body, but not her conscience!

Yingluo drank the tea with a smug expression, while Fukuhara Echigo was a little irritable.

It's been more than half an hour, but there's still no movement outside.

"It seems that the girl made a choice. Yingluo stood up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "Then we should also go on the road, Fukuhara Echigo-sama!"
