Chapter 48: Bad News

In the next half hour, Harita and Gintoki had a pleasant and relaxed interview. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Well, although it doesn't make any sense at all, it's a familiar face.

That's right, it's just familiar.

Friendship between people is naturally not something that can be established by a few words.

Maybe these goods will forget about themselves the next time they meet. Silver, well, this guy is very dark sometimes. Wigs, pretending to be cute all day long. Dwarf cedar with an elusive personality.

In short, this is a team that will be a headache for both the Celestial and the Shogunate in the future!

After the conversation, Gintoki and they didn't keep Haruma for lunch or something, and Haruta also consciously put away his shuriken, and then, back to the city!

In fact, he rushed back as soon as the ninja troops returned to Goteban.

Eh, I'm a little hungry. Haruta touched her belly, took out a chocolate from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, and sped up!

Shouldn't I buy a car?, Haruma, who was running rapidly on the trail, felt a stir.

........

Edo.

People come and go, traffic is busy, a prosperous scene. The outside of the city was scorched, but the inside of the city was full of singing and dancing. Who knows what is right and who knows?

Haruta sighed, turned around, and blended into the crowd. As for the eye-catching night clothes, they naturally took them off a long time ago.

The crowd is crowded, and Harita's figure is gone.

Half an hour later, Haruta returned to Sarutobi's house.

There is no one at home, and although the little ape's studies at the ninja school are not heavy, he still has to go to play soy sauce occasionally. As a member of the ninja family, her starting point is much better than Haruhida's, and the people above are more trusting, at least, she can enter and leave the Imperial Court at will before graduation.

Haru was too lazy to cook, so she ran outside and found an old restaurant and ordered a big bowl of noodles.

Modern restaurants, Edo naturally exist, because of various celestial beings, the development of the earth's science and technology is like a rocket accelerator. I've heard that there are powerful mechanics who even make robots.

I don't know how the group of mechanics whose IQ is still stuck in the Iron Age are studying alien technology.

From the down-and-out samurai of the Middle Ages to the popular creations of modern times, Edo is such a complex, contradictory and harmonious place!

Compared with modern hotels, Harita still prefers those time-honored brands.

The portion is full, the taste is strong, there are not many guests, and the owner looks kind.

After eating a large bowl of noodles beautifully, Harita returns to Sarutobi's house. After practicing the sword for a while, the little ape finally returned.

"Brother Qingtai, I'll go cook first. The little ape looked at the main room, but Ape Fei still didn't come back, his face darkened for a moment, and then he laughed.

"Good. I went out on a mission this morning, but I nibbled on chocolate for a long time, and I still have a mouthful of cocoa. Harita smiled as she went to cook, her eyes full of doting.

The little ape looks like he will like the natural curl of Yinshi in the future, right? Damn, if this bastard of Yinshi is not good to my little ape, see if I don't cut you to death!

In short, the happiness of the little ape is guarded by me!

Renmu Village.

"Ahh

"Gintoki, you have a cold?!no, Takasugi go get some medicine!" the wig screamed, as if the whole village would know about it.

Takasugi grimaced, silently picked up the collar of his wig, and threw him directly into the firewood room, who was still screaming.

"You're going to sleep with the dog tonight!"

Gintoki didn't say a word, staring at the dead fish's eyes, looking out the window into the deep darkness.

......

Imperial court, house.

As usual, Harita climbed over the low wall and came to the front yard. Hattori Hanzo was still wearing a gray robe and sitting under the eaves with a cigarette pouch in his mouth.

Well, this old man may have Alzheimer's, and it is absolutely impossible for Harinta to maintain this posture all day. He prefers movement, not stillness.

"Harita. Hanzo squinted and spoke with an indescribable expression.

Qing Tai was stunned for a moment and leaned over slightly.

"Chief. ā€

In fact, the relationship between the aspirants and the shogunate was very complicated, the revolutionaries and the revolutionaries were not innocent, and in order to accomplish the great cause or ideals, their hands must have been stained with a lot of innocent blood!

The Imperial Court also had no way out of the political whirlpool, with some supporting the old system, that is, the restoration of the samurai era, and some supporting reform. Hattori Hanzo, as the head of the Shogun's ninja organization, was a conservative, or royalist. However, he has a good attitude towards radicals and does not deliberately suppress them.

Because of this, Hattori Hanzo's status in the Imperial Court is very high. Even if Raida is already stronger than him, he can't shake his position!

For the shogunate, Hattori Hanzo is a capable subordinate, and Raida is just a mad dog that can bite!

"The ape flew dead. Hattori Hanzo softly spat out the words with a hint of sadness on his face.

Ape Fei, although he is only a ninja in name, but that's because he is not proficient in weapons, with merit and his fighting methods, Shangnin may not be able to compare with him.

This is a trusted and relied on subordinate who has been friends for many years, however, he is still dead now. Therefore, Hanzo, who is accustomed to seeing life and death, can't help but sigh.

"Uncle Ape Fei..... Dead?!" Haruma was stunned, her mouth slightly open, her eyes hollow, and her tone filled with disbelief.

He still remembers that when he was injured, it was Uncle Ape Fei who helped him bandage his wounds, although the bandages were messy. He still remembered that Ape Fei and himself grabbed food together, and the little ape sat on the side and chuckled. He still remembers that in his free time, the three of them went fishing and boating together in the suburbs. He still remembered the scene where Ape Fei carried him home after he finished his mission, it was obviously not his mission, it was obviously so dangerous, but he still went.

If it weren't for Sarutobi, maybe he would have been killed by the ninjas at the beginning, or maybe he would have wandered to Edo and become a ronin.

It was Ape Fei and the little ape that gave him a sense of home again!

And now, Uncle Ape Fei, who looks like an orangutan and always shows a mouthful of big white teeth when he laughs, is dead!

Death, what a simple word.

Death, something so easy to say.

But what does it feel like when this happens to a loved one?

The pain, the unspeakable pain, the heart is burning, the blood in the whole body is clotting, and the relief at the corners of the mouth is no longer there. Harita looked at Hanzo who sighed with a blank look in his eyes.

"Chief, Uncle Ape Fei, he, how... Dead?!"

Hanzo was stunned, "Harita, you should know the rules of the Imperial Garden, right? ā€

Haruma gritted her teeth, her tone resolute and cold, "I have to know about this!"

"Well, I knew you kid. Hanzo puffed on the smoke, as if sighing, and slowly explained the origin.

"Yesterday, someone sent a commission, hoping that the Imperial Court would send someone to Takeda's house to listen to a piece of information, and the mission was very smooth, and the information was obtained.

However, when he was spotted by the guards as he left the castle, Ape Fei immediately jumped onto the wall, skillfully avoiding his pursuers, but when he jumped into the garden, he stepped on a hidden bear trap and clamped his leg tightly. At this time, the guards under General Takeda surrounded him, and when Sarufei saw this, he cut off the leg that was clamped with a knife, and escaped with one foot for a long distance. Eventually, it is difficult to support due to excessive blood loss. Seeing that the guards were getting closer and closer, and knowing that there was no hope of escape, Ape Fei simply stood still, shouted insults at the guards who pursued him, destroyed his face with his sword so that it was unrecognizable, and then swung his sword and cut his own neck. ā€

"What about Uncle Sarufei's corpse?" Haruma asked in a hoarse voice.

"Hanging on the castle of the Takeda family, our ninjas have been to investigate, and the defense is very tight, and the Takeda family wants to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys. ā€

"This information was discovered by us later, and I know that you are eager for revenge, but the Takeda family is a famous family, and it is also a local prince, and the military force is strong, and even the shogunate cannot be easily provoked. You.... It's better to be patient!" Hanzo persuaded bitterly.

Qing Tai was stunned, didn't speak, just nodded silently, and then left in despair.

He didn't know how to tell the little ape about it.

Under the eaves, Hanzo continued to puff out the smoke, his expression was gloomy, as if he was talking to himself, "Am I too soft-hearted? Alas, I'm getting old." In a few years, it will be time to leave the matter to the young people. ā€
