Something unexpected happened suddenly, and I glared at him, and my mind was a little confused for a moment. What is he going to do? By the way, the Hijikata Suizo recorded in history seems to be a bit romantic in terms of private life, is it possible...... No way, no way, he shouldn't have much interest in me like that.

Just as I was thinking, his cold hand had slipped to my neck, and that nice voice whispered in my ear: "Although I don't know why you approached the head office, but ......" his hand increased its strength, "If you let me know that you are a spy sent by Changzhou, I guarantee that you will definitely die." ”

His light brown pupils deepened, and the smell of death clearly spread from his hand to my body, and the murderous aura alone was extremely fierce. This man really deserves the title of the devil's deputy chief. At this point, my mood calmed down, he couldn't have killed me here, he just had doubts about me, and I simply closed my eyes. It's not time to use your spells yet.

"If that's what you think, just try it again." I whispered.

Time passed little by little, and he hesitated for a moment and slowly let go of his hand. I quickly rubbed my neck and took a few deep breaths of air.

"I understand that you will have this kind of thinking in such chaotic times, and I am not surprised, it is indeed not easy to make you trust people, so I do not want to explain, and I do not expect to gain your trust, but I will not alienate the General Secretary because of your suspicions, because I want to ------see the smile of the General Director." I stood up and said unhurriedly.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, fleeting, just looking at me.

I walked to the door, stopped again, and said, "I won't tell the Director-General about what happened just now, because I think Mr. Hijikata also wanted to protect the Director-General." ”

I couldn't read his expression clearly when I turned my back to him, but I heard his slightly dull voice whisper again: "Then you ...... to the director-general"

"What kind of feelings Mr. Hijikata has for the head office, what kind of feelings I have for the head office." I looked back at him with a big smile.

Without looking at him again, he hurried out of the room. This devil's deputy chief, the farther away the better......

As soon as I walked into the courtyard, I saw the general secretary sitting in the cloister. He has changed back into a white kimono, his long black hair is not tied up, it is casually scattered, the wind blows his hair from time to time, brushing his pale cheeks, the quiet corridor, the red leaves all over the ground, the beautiful boy in white, as if a still and beautiful picture. I stood still, unwilling to disturb the harmony.

He noticed the movement, looked sideways at me, and immediately laughed, his smile transparent and warm, not stained with a trace of dust.

"Xiao Yin, is there anything wrong?"

I thought about it, walked over with a sad face, and sat down beside him.

"What's wrong?" He looked at my expression with a hint of doubt in his tone.

"It's fine." I lowered my eyes and shook my head.

"Did Mr. Hijikata say anything to you?" He became a little anxious.

"Well, Mr. Hijikata said that the general secretary ......" I paused and glanced at him, who was listening attentively, with a big question mark written on his face unabashedly.

"He said, no, I said that the chief boss was the cutest!" I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The head secretary suddenly reacted that I was playing tricks on him, and he couldn't help but be angry and funny, he pretended to be angry and said, "Okay, you actually dare to tease me Okita head office!" ”

I smiled and said, "Well, is the head secretary going to duel with me?" I'm so scared. ”

He couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, it's not too early, I'll send you back." ”

I looked up at the sky, and before I knew it, it was almost dusk, and I had been here for so long.

"No, I'll go back myself. You're still ...... Let's rest. Suddenly remembering his illness, the bloody scene just now appeared in front of my eyes again, and my heart ached slightly.

"It's okay for me, it's much better now." He stood up and smiled brightly at me, "Let's go." Seeing that it was useless to go on, I nodded and followed him.

As soon as I arrived at the door, there were several figures dangling over there, and I immediately recognized them as Shinpachi Nagakura, Saito Ichi, and Saburo Hirama. There were also two team members whose names could not be named.

"Hey, Xiao Yin, are you back?" Saburo greeted me.

I smiled and nodded, and said, "Yes, Mr. Hirama is going to come to Omiya more often, and Mr. Saito." ”

I glanced at Shinpachi, and he had an ambiguous smile on his face. I quickly pulled the sleeve of the head office, and if I didn't leave, I was afraid that this Mr. Nagakura would say something unpleasant again.

"Mr. Hirama, are you going to go out?" The Director-General didn't seem to realize this, and asked casually. I saw that except for Saito, the rest of the faces seemed to be a little weird.

"yes, we're going to ---- Shimabara Kameya." Hirama said.

"Ahh The expression of the general secretary suddenly became strange.

"What kind of place is Shimabara Kameya? Izakaya? Or is it a turtle seller? I asked, puzzled. The shops here are all so-and-so houses, and sometimes you can't figure out what they're selling. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that everyone looked strange and seemed to be holding back a smile.

"Do you want to go? However, I think it's better for you not to go as a woman. A hint of ill-will suddenly flashed on Shinpachi's face.

"Mr. Nagakura......" the general secretary coughed lightly.

"What about going, if you men can go, women can't. I just want to go and see it, Director-General, let's go too! When he said that, I was even more curious.

"Hahaha!" Xin Bayi and the others laughed loudly.

"Xiao Yin, it's time to go back." The head secretary had an embarrassment on his face, hurriedly said hello, took my hand and walked quickly to the door. The laughter behind him is getting louder and louder.

His strength was really not small, and after a while, he was pulled to a bridge.

"What's the matter, what the hell is Shimabara Kameya selling?" My curiosity continues.

"Well, that is, there's no selling there," he said, looking at me and seeming to squeeze out a few words with difficulty, "there's only one kind of woman there---- geisha." ”

"Geisha?" When I heard this word, my eyes lit up, and I immediately thought of the beautiful ukiyo-e.

"Ahh I suddenly shouted, "Isn't it, Mr. Saito, he, he ...... too" It's hard to associate the cold Saito with this.

"Mr. Saito, he doesn't seem to have much interest in women, and every time he stays outside the door to prevent those Choshu people from sneaking up." The Director-General smiled slightly.

No, Saito is still so great...... Unbelievable......

"So, has the head secretary been there?" I blinked.

His face flushed slightly, and he said, "I've been there twice, and I went with Mr. Hijikata, but it's just to watch the singing and dancing, that's all." It's true. ”

Such an honest child, I couldn't help but laugh and said, "I believe the words of the general director." Oh, I think there is a clause to be added to the military regulations, anyone who does not accompany the deputy commander to Shimabara Kameya will be seppuku! I laughed to myself.

The chief secretary also laughed out loud, and the two of us looked at each other and laughed uncontrollably.

After laughing for a while, we stopped, the general secretary still had a smile in his eyes, as if something was shining in his eyes, he stared at me, his gaze gradually moved down, and suddenly his face was slightly red, I followed his gaze, ah, it turned out that our hands were still pulled together, he suddenly let go of my hand, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

I shook my head with a smile, and was about to say something, but I saw the smile on the head of the general secretary suddenly disappear, and said in a low voice, "Don't speak." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw five or six figures rushing out like ghosts, all of them murderous, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed with coldness, the one who came was not good, I am afraid that it was the opponent of the new writing group------ Changzhou faction.

"Soji Okita, you lackeys of the shogunate! I don't know how many of our Restorationists have been killed, so let's take our lives today! "The one who is the tallest of the first son said viciously.

The head secretary suddenly laughed, and smiled so gently, "I'm so sorry, you guys are unlucky today, and the people who wave the knife at me Okita will not see the sunrise tomorrow." ”

The man roared and rushed with a knife.

"Don't be afraid, close your eyes." The Director-General said softly to me. Listening to a snort, the love knife Kaga Kiyomitsu was already out of the sheath, and he couldn't see his movements at all, only to see an arc of knife light in the air, and the two ronins fell in a pool of blood in response, and as soon as the knife came out of the sheath, they killed two people. I put my hand out of my arms, and it seemed like I didn't have to do anything.

At this time, the head secretary was completely like a different person, and a strong killing intent enveloped his whole body. His inky eyes had a dark red glow, and I felt a taste of déjà vu, bloodthirsty.

He raised his knife and fell, and the blade cut the throats of the remaining two men without mercy. Suddenly, dark red blood gushed like a spring...... In the dim light, the scattered blood beads splashed on his angelic white and flawless face, so dazzlingly red! Snow-white ...... Bright red like blood...... And his dark eyes, which glowed faintly...... At that moment, he went from being an angel to a devil.

Is this really the Director-General? Is this really the gentle teenager who is always smiling? Son of the devil, is this the other side of him?

You can laugh like fireworks in the afternoon, or you can kill in the dark alleys on a moonlit night without changing your face.

After he cut the throat of the last person, the white kimono had been stained dark red with blood, and in the setting sun, the bloodied young man stood with a knife, his disdainful gaze swept the ground, and the life that was still alive just now became a cold corpse in the blink of an eye. Looking at the scene in front of me, I still hadn't been able to react from the bloody killing, and my heart was in turmoil and chaos. For a moment, I really couldn't immediately accept that the murderous and unblinking teenager in front of me and the gentle smiling teenager were the same person......

He turned his head and looked at me. To my surprise, there was a gloomy, overwhelming look in his once pure eyes. "I don't think I can send you back today."

I nodded.

"Well, I, I'll go first." I glanced at him and turned to leave.

"Xiao Yin......" He seemed to stop talking.

I stopped.

"Nothing, be careful on the road." His voice was a little low.

I nodded again and walked forward without looking back. I think I'll need a little time to digest what happened today.

Tonight, I think I'm having insomnia. The bloody scene kept flashing in front of him, as well as the cold eyes of the chief secretary. I know in my heart that I can't blame him, in such turbulent times, if he doesn't do anything, he will die. But I came from a peaceful society, after all, I have never seen such a cruel scene with my own eyes---- not counting in TV and movies, but today it happened vividly in front of my eyes, and when I think about it, I still seem to be able to smell the disgusting smell of blood.

Alas, Ye Yin, Ye Yin, what are you here for, you are just a passer-by here, you will leave after completing the task, how can you fall into such a bunch of inexplicable emotions. Don't get down to business, don't think so much about it......
