――――――――――――――――
A few days ago, Takanomiya's visit to Katsura Kogoro was very sudden.
There was no interrogation, and Katsura didn't get any news, so the half-foreign man came over, obviously he came to Kyoto with a false identity, but he still didn't hide this woman.
"Mr. Gui, don't come unharmed."
She came to the place where Gui Kogoro received the guests with a smile, and she was not afraid of being killed, and the personal guard was just outside the door, and she was sitting in front of him very openly, looking like I was just here to be a guest.
"Eagle is the palace, why do you want to visit late at night?"
If it weren't for the fact that he had some friendship with Sakamoto Ryoma in the Eagle Palace, and he didn't mean to turn his face with Sakamoto Ryoma, I'm afraid he would have drawn his sword a long time ago.
"Obviously a man with beautiful eyebrows, but he is full of murderous energy." Beloved's tone was soft, and her gaze did not intersect with Katsura Kogoro, but fell on the table, and then said slowly.
"I haven't even prepared tea and wine, and Mr. Gui's hospitality doesn't seem to have been learned well."
"Oh? You're a real guest. ”
"If it weren't for the guests, it wouldn't be a weak woman like me." Xinai said calmly: "Mr. Gui understands things, and there are some things that I naturally don't need to say." ”
There is no beating around the bush, the beloved knows that the "high-position" people who have a serious sense of vigilance and have a wrong killing of a thousand people who do not let go of a character are in vain no matter what the pretense is, and they do not have the patience to talk much with people of uncertain nature, and the beloved feels that he is close enough to that boundary, and then he just needs to show his intentions well.
As for how true or false this intention is, it depends on the man's own judgment.
"If I wanted to kill Mr. Gui, I would have been able to do it a long time ago, so why bother talking about it."
"It doesn't convince me." Gui frowned: "I still know a thing or two about you helping the Shinsengumi." ”
"Yes."
"So what you just said, can I take it as a threat to me?"
"Whether it's a threat or not, you have your own judgment, if you have to take it as a threat to me, then I can't change Mr. Gui's mind as a woman."
Just now, Gui Kogoro was obviously moved to kill, but his beloved still didn't have the slightest fear of it, so he naturally opened his eyes and said nonsense.
"Just please see the reality."
"Realistic ......"
"I think it's time to clean up the vicious dogs in Kyoto." Beloved said, "You can understand that I'm helping the Shinsengumi, but you can also understand that I'm creating opportunities for you, but everyone thinks about it." ”
"I never want to have a verbal argument with someone."
"Huh." Beloved smiled, what she had been waiting for was this sentence.
"As long as I can come up with something convincing to you, can I continue the conversation?"
"If I can't get it, I won't let anyone who knows where I am leave today."
"The Devil's Key ......"
"What?"
What Gui said just now is the key, my heart knows it very well, this man still has a trace of expectation, he has the same desire as everyone else. That desire was the source of her destined success.
As long as you grasp the desires of the person, the beloved can realize his own plans.
"Now, Mr. Gui, do you want to know how to make an ordinary person fight against a hundred?"
What Choshu wants now is a powerful force.,Since you want it.,Why not give it to him.。
"GatlingGears" said a completely unfamiliar English word, "Maybe Mr. Gui still has trouble understanding what I'm saying, but you'll understand it right away." ”
The backward musket was completely incomparable with that machine.
……
……
"In addition to the two teams that broke into Ikedaya, the other members of the Shinsengumi were in the vicinity of Ikedaya, and based on daytime records, we were able to barely investigate their location."
Until now, it has been the same as expected by the Eagle Palace.
Isamu Kondo is not a man who falls into traps so easily.
"He will use this trap to find a breakthrough, and that man's goal is always you, and no matter how much sacrifice Kondo makes for this, it will be worth it." The words that the beloved said were still echoed in Katsura Kogoro's ears.
"He's betting you're still in Kyoto, and as long as you're here, you can't stand by and watch it."
"Isamu Kondo borrowed the eyes I gave him, even if it was blinded, but his sense of smell like that of a hungry wolf was still digging out your hiding place little by little, and the firewood merchant named Shuntaro Kotaka exposed the place where you originally gathered, which is proof that you are showing your feet."
"So, instead of hiding any longer, it's better to take this opportunity to design a destruction Shinsengumi, and if it succeeds, it can also be a good morale boost."
"With the so-called crisis comes opportunity."
You all think that way.
"And then, with the power I lent you, don't you feel that victory is within reach?"
Every word of his beloved, he inadvertently memorized it clearly.
Behind Katsura Kogoro are three killing machines that glow with metal.
"Gatling gun."
It is said that in order to reduce the number of soldiers participating in the war, overseas people made a weapon in the first two years to greatly enhance the combat ability of individual soldiers.
Just shake the crank behind it and you can get a steady stream of bullets shooting out quickly.
"This kind of thing, it is impossible to reduce the number of soldiers participating in the war, heh, the naivety of foreigners is sometimes incomprehensible."
"Out of battle!!"
The machine guns were placed on the carts that were easy to move, and the soldiers of the Emperor's faction pushed them forward, and under the order of Katsura Kogoro, his soldiers led by these three hand-cranked machine guns and carried swords, spears, and muskets, and attacked the ambush site of the Shinsengumi.
"This battle is the last battle in Kyoto."
"Don't forget what you promised me."
Just when his heart was already burning and his emotions were extremely excited, the words of his beloved words sounded in his mind again.
"Wait!"
Katsura halted the team for a moment and issued additional orders.
"If an outsider enters this area, don't hesitate whether it's a civilian, an old man, a child, or a woman......
Shoot them all.
This is the only request that Takanomiya Beloved makes after giving him the weapon, a request of unknown significance.
But as a businessman, she won't do anything that doesn't make a profit...... Probably so.
