Chapter 67: A Ruthless and Cruel Man
After doing all the things Hidemitsu had ordered, Ishimaru Shinnai cautiously returned to his own Ishimaru house in Yoshiwara Town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, the situation outside was chaotic and terrible, but it did not affect the interior of Yoshiwara Town in the slightest.
There is nothing he has to do in the future, and looking at the current situation in Edo Castle, it is enough to mess up for a while.
To be honest, he didn't expect that Xiuzhong, who was a general, would choose to send someone to suppress the crowd with an iron fist. This was a big surprise to him. But it doesn't hurt much, on the contrary, it is still a good thing for them Wind Demon Ninja and the Toyotomi family.
"This second-generation general is too immature."
That's what Ishimaru said about Hidetada.
However, now he didn't have the heart to care about the Tokugawa family and the situation outside. What Ishimaru is most worried about now is Aye's situation.
Therefore, when Ishimaru returned to Ishimaruya, he immediately looked for Aye's figure in the house.
"Aye!! Are you there? Are you back? ”
"Don't make a noise, Terumhachiro. If you make it louder, you will be heard from outside. ”
While Ishimaru was loudly searching for Ah Ye in the house, Ah Ye's impatient tired voice came from the top floor.
"Oooh! It's great to be back safe!! ”
Hearing Aye's voice, Ishimaru happily climbed to the top floor.
"How is it, Ah Ye, has the response been successful?"
"Hmph, who do you think I am? Of course it worked perfectly. ”
Ah Ye welcomed Ishimaru in.
And he managed to get rid of that Hattori Hanzo. That guy is now gone, and it's estimated that he either went to Joshita, or he saw that things were so big and ran away. ”
"It's worthy of Ah Ye! So, what about that one? It can't be that the injury is too serious and then ascends to heaven, right? ”
Ishimaru subconsciously swept towards the interior of the room.
“…… I'm here, and I'm still alive and well. ”
Following the faint sound coming from the futon on the inside, Ishimaru saw the young man whose face was pale from his injuries. Ishimaru walked quickly to the futon and sat down, teasing:
"Yo, you're still alive~"
"Thanks to you, I finally managed to escape."
"Is it~ That's good~ Haha, I think, everyone probably didn't expect that the person who secretly helped these things behind the scenes was you Heigoro~"
Ishimaru looked directly at the young man in front of him who seemed to be kind-hearted and righteous.
This man with a pale face didn't expect it to be Heigoro of the Iga Tongxin Society.
"He was only stabbed in the right chest, nothing else."
Aye explained Heigoro's injuries to Ishimaru. Heigoro didn't say anything, and then asked:
"Looks like they've managed to make things bigger, right?"
"Of course. I'm Shimaru even out of the horse, how can I not succeed~"
"Huh...... That's good......"
Heigoro curled the corners of his mouth and smiled contentedly. Ishimaru was on the side, and said with some sarcasm:
"Although the relationship of cooperation has been decided from the beginning, I didn't expect Mr. Heigoro to be so ruthless...... I really admire the fact that these former colleagues were dragged into the water without hesitation. ”
"Huh, colleague? I've never seen them as companions. ”
Heigoro laughed contemptuously twice.
This Heigoro, who belongs to the Iga Kinkokai Association, is actually the promoter of this riot. At this time, he finally took off his usual chivalrous skin and showed a contemptuous sneer.
Originally, he contacted Ishimaru for this purpose.
So far, he is the one who has provided information to Ishimaru, he is the one who has helped spread the rumors, he is the one who has made the Tongxin Society believe the rumors, and he is the one who has persuaded him to launch a fight. In other words, the person who betrayed all his colleagues and their relatives without hesitation was this Heigoro.
Now, this cold man did not show any regret or repentance when dealing with the fact that Tongxin would be suppressed, but seemed unusually breezy and calm, as if it was none of his business.
"You're a real person...... I really feel sorry for your colleagues~ Speaking of which, why did you take the initiative to join forces with us, could it be that you and Iga will have a conflict? ”
Ishimaru looked at Heigoro with some helplessness. However, after hearing this, Heigoro actually said:
"Hmph, I don't have any hatred for those people who are in the same heart. I'm just dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family. ”
Heigoro narrowed his eyes boredly.
"In general, just a few years ago, a particularly good friend of mine who was a swordsman seemed to have been killed by the shameless Tokugawa family. So I'm very unhappy, so I just play with my temperament. I won't tell you the details. ”
Looking at Heigoro's very casual and absurd cold remarks, even Ishimaru couldn't help frowning.
"Ah, you really are, for the sake of your friends, you didn't hesitate to throw out those colleagues who have worked with you for many years as outcasts. It's cruel~"
"Hmph, I don't really like these boring people anyway! If you can, use it. ”
"Hehe, if I'm not mistaken, your Miao character should be Zhugang~"
"That's my daddy's! I'm just a son who doesn't really matter, don't mention this Miao word to me! ”
Heigoro heard Ishimaru mention his Miao character and interrupted Ishimaru very unhappily.
"You say I'm cruel, you can't be much better~ Watching the granary explode, the roof burned, and the people killed, you didn't react at all. I'm embarrassed to say it. ”
Heigoro laughed,
"Although I think there should be someone behind you. That person is really ruthless, and he actually made this kind of plan, that is the real disregard for life and death. ”
Faced with Heigoro's speculation, Ishimaru shrugged his shoulders and showed that he had no comment.
"Well, it's okay to do this kind of thing~ Anyway, things are already big."
Ishimaru was calm, then turned around and asked:
"And then? What do you do next? The Harmony Society is now gone, are you going to leave Edo Castle? ”
"What's next, pick up your luggage and leave, you can go anywhere. Anyway, there is no place for me in Edo Castle now. ”
As for the next plan, Heigoro is very casual.
He stood up impatiently, and after changing his medicine and bandages, he immediately packed his bags and prepared to leave.
"Huh? Leaving so soon? ”
Ishimaru was a little puzzled.
"Hmph, now is the best time to leave this place of right and wrong. While Edo Castle is still in chaos, I don't want to waste my time and my life. Anyway, my partnership with you is broken, and I hope we won't see you again! ”
After Heigoro finished saying this, he turned around and left Ishimaruya without the slightest nostalgia and left Yoshiwara Town
Ah Ye looked at the back of Heigoro leaving with some unhappiness, and whispered:
"This Heigoro Morioka is really an arrogant and ruthless man. Fortunately, it was only a temporary relationship, and if I worked with him for a long time, I couldn't stand it. Anyway, is it really good to just let him go? If he leaks information to the Tokugawa family in the future, then we won't ......."
"Well, Ah Ye, let him go. This person seems to be a friend of someone in the main family, so it's better to leave it alone, and he probably won't throw himself into Tokugawa. Anyway, it's none of our business, we're just using each other to get benefits. ”
Ishimaru patted Ah Ye on the shoulder, indicating that it didn't matter.
"Compared to this, let's have a good rest these days~ Anyway, the goal has been achieved, and the next riot is estimated to be no less, and when it is over, it will be time for Tokugawa Ieyasu to come back. Let's rest for a few days~"
Ah Ye nodded, agreeing with Ishimaru's words.
