Kiyokawa Hachiro went to Yoshiwara, which was not different from the reservation, but he was invited to go.

The person called Sasaki Sazaburo.

Kiyokawa Hachiro didn't bring too many guards, and only Nanami was followed by him.

This matter is a bit troublesome, but I believe that Okita Soji is not stupid, and he should have expected this situation, and he will definitely handle the 200-person ronin group perfectly.

If there was no trust, Qishi would not have gone undercover here.

Along the way, they all walked over, and they didn't take a carriage, Qinghe Hachiro said that it was such a short road that didn't have to be so troublesome to ride, and at the same time, he babbled a lot to Qishi.

The shogunate's behavior was so hateful that it did not take the emperor seriously on weekdays, and only put the emperor out as a shield when the truly terrible foreign invasion occurred.

He also said that when he talks about reform, he talks about what the country should look like in the future.

Black ships of steel, this country will also have.

He even talked about Confucianism to Qishi.

Confucius, Mencius or something, the topic is whimsical and difficult to fathom.

"Mr. Qinghe, you actually don't have any worries about life, and it's not a problem to have three full meals." Nanami interrupted Hachiro Kiyokawa's words.

"Then why do these things that cost you your life."

"This" The middle-aged man was asked, and it took him a long time before he spoke again.

"There are steam engines abroad, there is fuel oil, have you ever seen it? That kind of thing, I've seen it" is still talking about these and some of them, and suddenly Qinghe Hachiro lost his eyebrows at the beginning, and he was very disappointed.

This loss can plunge the person standing next to him into a kind of exhaustion for no apparent reason.

"Girl, don't you feel angry?"

Living in a world where only I have enough to eat, but others can't eat, aren't you angry?

"People who can't eat enough, they can't afford to worry, only people like me have the energy to worry about it, this is a helpless thing, no soldier wants to go to the battlefield to die, but they are more difficult to die than the people around them."

If it's hard to die, go to death, maybe you can get lucky enough to pick up a small life, survive and win the war, this is a big profit, and you will wake up with a smile when you dream.

"I see."

Nanami nodded.

After that, until I arrived in Yoshiwara, the atmosphere became oppressive, as if I was being choked by a claw.

The big store agreed to be the one that Nanami came to last time, and the business of this store is really prosperous, probably because of the popular Oiran.

Speaking of which, two days ago, Nanami was still excited to inquire about the news of the woman named Yuuka Sokai, but in the end it was just a gorgeous pounce.

"Stop!"

The guard, whom I hadn't seen last time, stopped Nanami.

"Lord Sasaki said that no one else is allowed to enter this shop tonight except Lord Kiyokawa."

Attitude, very unfriendly.

"He's my bodyguard."

"He" is a male address. If the guard is a woman, it looks a bit unbearable to outsiders.

Qishi is also considering whether to find another hat to block his face. But it seems that there is no chance.

"So, go and ask for instructions."

After a while, the guard returned and nodded, allowing Nanami to enter with Kiyokawa Hachiro.

"Let's go."

"The knife stays." But the guards made this request.

"What am I without a knife?" Qishi asked coldly.

The guard didn't say anything to Qishi and was about to grab the knife, but Qishi stabbed him in the stomach with the handle of the knife, and the guard only felt that his eyes were dazzled, and he couldn't even speak, and he fell to the ground, his body twisted into a shrimp shape.

"You!" The other man was about to draw his sword when he saw the situation.

"Seven realities!"

Kiyokawa Hachiro shouted to stop Qishi.

"Okay." The knife in Nanami's hand was handed to the remaining guard.

Cautiously, he stepped forward to pick up the knife.

"Touch" Qishi shook him unconscious the next moment, and then quickly pinned the knife back to his waist.

Although she didn't bring Chao Che now, someone actually wanted to take away her weapon.

Unforgivable.

"This is a Hongmen banquet, what kind of cooperation, you can also see it from the attitude of this guard."

Seven realities stared at Kiyokawa Hachiro.

"When I entered this store, no, I should say that since I just arrived in Yoshiwara, I don't know if I can come out alive."

She untied the knife of the fainting guard and threw it at Hachiro Kiyokawa.

"From now on, don't believe anyone, let me live on my own ability, and then realize your ambition, after all, I am also a samurai who is exempted from the sword of Beichen, and I have some ability, isn't it."

Qinghe Hachiro took the knife, and the matching knife on his body was just a decoration, not like this one.

Just the right curvature, a sharp blade, and a good Japanese sword are the best for killing.

"Thank you." He put away his knife and walked into the store side by side with Nanami.

It was impossible for no one to see the commotion outside the door just now, and everyone deliberately avoided Qishi and Qinghe Hachiro.

until you enter the private room.

There were two people in the room.

A young girl, Nanami has already seen, it is Yuka Soi, and she is still so dazzling.

She lowered her eyebrows and flicked the shamisen, and the movements between her fingers were as gentle as if she were for her lover, and beautiful notes flowed from her fingers.

The sound is like the person, they are all excellent, and they are all unforgettable after seeing and hearing them.

"Brother Qinghe!" A radiant man

"It's been a long time! Hahaha, how's it going, I found you the best woman in the whole of Edo! ”

He is Sasaki Kozaburo.

"I'm afraid I can't afford this kind of treatment, Brother Sasaki."

Hachiro Kiyokawa sat down in the only empty seat.

"This is not good, I specially bought her this night in your name, this is against the rules."

It turned out that it was all him.

Qishi understood.

The person in front of him is definitely ill-intentioned, and he wants to kill Kiyokawa Hachiro just like himself.

It's ridiculous to think about it that way.

Which side is it that involves yourself?

"Indeed, a good woman." Kiyokawa Hachiro looked at Yuuka Sokai and sighed

"When I was in Kyoto, I heard that Miss Soi had a unique demeanor, and I was able to see it at this time, thanks to the help of Brother Sasaki, so I can only thank you for it."

"However, such a good girl, you don't need to be involved, right?"

Hachiro Kiyokawa draws his sword.

"At this time, I don't believe in any cooperation, if you want to blame it, you can blame yourself for being greedy at that time, you really hurt yourself."

"Oh?! How to say this. ”

Sasaki continued to play dumb.

"Only by catching you can I escape from Yoshiwara, otherwise, I'm afraid the streets and alleys will be full of your people, the fangs of the shogunate."

"It's a bit pitiful."

Sasaki Saburo put away the mask on his face, and he pointed his finger at Hachiro Kiyokawa and shouted angrily

"Traitor!"
