Chapter 316: The Bloody Battle of Gion (5)

"Don't cut it, it's me!"

There was a voice in the night that said in Zhang Heng's ears.

With the help of the fire that had gradually ignited in the firewood room, Zhang Heng did see clearly the young face that belonged to the general secretary of Okita, who coughed twice, slashed an enemy in front of him, stood against Zhang Heng, and comforted, "Don't worry, our people will be here soon." ”

"Don't lie." Zhang Heng said lightly when he heard this, "You shouted so loudly in front of the door before, I'm afraid that there are still people who don't know that Isamu Kondo is behind, do you think they will believe it?" ”

Soji Okita scratched his head, "Will they believe it?" ”

"If they really believed it, they wouldn't have let you in so easily," Zhang Heng patiently analyzed the guy beside him, "Now, they obviously want to encircle and annihilate us here." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, deception has never been my forte," Okita looked apologetic, "I received a secret report that there was a sneaky guy who had a secret meeting here, but I saw that you were also in there before, and I was worried about your safety, so I rushed in first, and I didn't have time to notify the rescuers or something." ”

Just when the two were chatting, Zhang Heng saw the thing in the hand of the proprietress not far away, his expression changed slightly, and he said to the general secretary of Okita, "Run!" ”

"Huh?"

Although Okita Soji didn't understand why Zhang Heng, who was good, wanted to continue to escape, now that the two of them have joined forces, although they may not be able to beat the big group in front of them, the pressure is much less than when they were fighting separately, and there is no reason to disperse again, but seeing that Zhang Heng has already rolled on the spot regardless of the sword on his body, Okita Soji, as the first master of the Shinsengumi, has a keen perception of danger and saved his own life, and leaned over to dodge a black shot from the boss lady next.

Just as the latter began to continue to fill the gunpowder and projectiles, Zhang Heng also turned over from the ground and killed in that direction.

However, it can be seen that the status of the proprietress in the teahouse is not low, at least it is not a dead man who can be given up at will, so seeing Zhang Heng rushing over, many geisha and waiters immediately stood in front of her.

Zhang Heng knew that it was now a life-and-death crisis, and he didn't want the boss lady to finish the reload and have a chance to fire a second shot, so he simply completely abandoned the defense and attacked with all his might, using the most powerful thoughtless and thoughtless slash in the first class of the two days, and pointed straight ahead with the knife in his hand, leaving no longer any way back.

Face the music! At this time, it is each other's courage and determination to fight.

The two geisha along the way were cut off by him as soon as they rushed over, their bodies were crooked, and they fell into the flowers, but then someone else filled their positions, not giving an inch, Zhang Heng had to withstand huge pressure every step he took, and there was already a river of blood in front of him, and the firewood house behind him was already burning at this time.

The light of the fire intersects with the blood, making this small courtyard feel like hell.

What remained unchanged during this period was Zhang Heng's pace, like the drumbeat of death stepping on everyone's hearts.

In the end, it was the teahouse side that shook first, the dead man had no feelings, and he didn't know what he was afraid of, but the ordinary person of the proprietress still knew what to be afraid of, Zhang Heng's step-by-step pressing made her a little confused, and the gunpowder in her hand spilled a lot, and what really made her retreat was the Okita General Division who was also rushing towards her on the other side.

The proprietress finally made up her mind to move to a safe place before completing the reloading, but her retreat caused a hole in the originally perfect defensive formation, although it was only a small and fleeting opportunity.

But in the eyes of masters like Zhang Heng and Okita Soji, they are enough to decide the winner of this battle.

Without any prior discussion, Zhang Heng suddenly threw out the ribs in his hand, nailing a small waiter beside the proprietress to the ground, and at the same time, Okita also burst out, even slashing the first two people, and the proprietress who felt the threat decided to change the direction of escape, but after delaying this moment, Zhang Heng followed closely and had already killed.

Although those dead soldiers are very hard to protect the master, and they are not afraid of death, but in the face of the huge difference in strength, they can not do much, Zhang Heng didn't care about the two slashes in his chest, because their owners had already fallen under his slash in the next step, and the blade did not penetrate deep into the flesh under the action of inertia, but it looked bloody, but it made his whole person look like a madman.

The next moment, Zhang Heng finally stood in front of the proprietress.

Probably because the spirit was too frightened, the proprietress had even forgotten that her gunpowder had not been filled and the projectile had not been put in, and she raised the Tanegashima iron cannon in her hand, as if she had grasped the last straw, and desperately pulled the trigger on Zhang Heng, but there was only a little white smoke coming out of the muzzle.

Then her head flew up, and no amount of foundation could hide the fear on her face.

"Yay! Let's get out together!! Okita was in good spirits.

Although there are still a lot of dead soldiers left in the tea house, with the death of the proprietress, no one can command them anymore, so that their combat power is greatly reduced, and it is a good time to break through.

However, Zhang Heng's eyes were looking to the other side, probably hearing the daimyo of Shinsengumi and Isamu Kondo, and the Fallen Shogunate clan members who gathered here tonight had begun to evacuate in an orderly manner.

They walked through the side door, the most important of which were naturally Takasugi Shinsaku and the French merchant Gabriel, and there were also some samurai who did not go, raising their swords to kill Zhang Heng and Okita Soji.

Zhang Heng knew that tonight was the best chance to get Shuzhu Maru Hengji, Takasugi Jinsaku and Nakamura Hanjiro were secretive, and it was rare to show up, especially if tonight's incident broke out, Takasugi Jinsaku might not stay in the dangerous place of Kyoto, if Nakamura Hanjiro escorted him back to the Choshu Domain when he fell, then Zhang Heng estimated that it would be difficult to get this famous knife.

However, Zhang Heng was not reckless, he quickly assessed his current physical state in his heart, weighing the success rate and risk of snatching the knife.

Okita wiped the blood from his face, and also looked at Zhang Heng's gaze, with a strange look on his face, "Is there any grudge between Brother Abe and Takasugi Shinsaku?" ”

"There's no grudge, I just want to count the beads and pills." Zhang Heng said smoothly and did not hide it.

Okita Soji's eyes flashed with surprise, he didn't say everything before, and when he rushed in to save Zhang Heng, he didn't doubt the relationship between Zhang Heng and the Fallen Curtain faction, after all, the two actually only have a relationship with Kiyomizu Temple, and Hijikata often says that he knows people and knows his face, not to mention the two who are relatively strangers.

However, this problem had already been solved when he rushed in and saw Zhang Heng fighting fiercely with those dead soldiers, but how could Okita never expect that the reason why Zhang Heng appeared here tonight was just for a knife?!
