15. Encouragement from the neighborhood
"It's a pity, it's a pity." Sanosuke knocked the last person down, and Sojiro smiled and shook it as he walked to this side, "It's a shame that I didn't see the legendary Mr. Shinomura Tensai." ”
"What are you talking about...... you little ghost" Sanosuke felt uncomfortable when he saw Sojiro's smile.
"Xiangle Zuo Nosuke, it's really a good fighter, a master of the god body technique, and it's gratifying to have a common hobby to become a best friend." Information about Kenshin's group of people, when Kenshin entered Zhi Zhixiong's eyes, he had already begun to collect, Zhi Zhixiong's subordinates were all over the country, this bit of news was still easy, how could Sojiro, who was Zhi Zhixiong's right-hand man, not know who to face.
"Executioner Udo Blade Guard, Lord Shishio would like to meet you too...... And the mysterious Mr. Ghost. Sojiro looked at Bai Xiaotian with a smile, but he always wondered why all the information of everyone had nothing but the information of Ghost Shadow Xiaotian, and some of them also started when Kenshin and Kamiya Kaoru met, very mysterious and strange, a person who can subdue the real executioner......
"Scarlet Village ......" Maki Machi Cao was originally curious, but he didn't expect to make unexpected discoveries on this trip, looking at Kenshin and stunned, "Draw the sword!" ”
The Imperial Court was an intelligence organization subordinate to the Shogunate at the end of the Edo period, and with the advent of the Restoration, the Imperial Court was abandoned by the Shogunate and hid in Kyoto ever since.
Shino Mori Cangzi, the leader of the Imperial Court guarding Edo Castle at the end of the Edo Shogunate, Edo First World War in Katsukaishu (the president of the army on the eve of the collapse of the shogunate) and Saigo Takamori (one of the three heroes of the Restoration) talks to avoid World War I, Edo Castle Kaejo surrendered, it was originally a duel between the shogunate and the strongest person of the Restoration (Shogunate Shino Mori Cangzi, Restoration Scarlet Village Drawing Sword Zhai), the shogunate cleared the imperial court in order to seal the mouth, except for the strong man of Shino Mori Cangzi, but Sino Mori Cangzi refused to surrender and fight back to the shogunate to rescue his subordinates, which can be described as affectionate and righteous. As a result, the companion who wanted to protect and the hated shogunate no longer existed, and Shino Mori, who had nowhere to vent his anger and despair, set his eyes on the strongest person at the end of the shogunate, Shinomura Tensai, and wanted to pay tribute to his dead companion with the 'strongest' period, so he looked for Shinomura Tensai.
Roll town Cao, the granddaughter of the former leader of the Imperial Court, after the death of the leader, she was entrusted to the four no forest cangzi, the four no forest cangzi lost the roll town in the Kyoto stronghold, this time the roll town exercise ran out to find the four no forest cangzi, but the leader did not find but ran into the leader to find - the scarlet village pull out the sword! The accident came too suddenly.
"Lord Chi Chi O has summoned you, please come with me."
"Laughing?" Zuo Zhisuke looked at Bai Xiaotian. Bai Xiaotian looked at Jian Xin.
"As you might expect." Kenshin nodded, pushed Eiji towards Makimachi, nodded and motioned for her to take care of it, looked at the corpse that was still hanging on it, walked to the rope and waved the knife to cut it while pulling the broken rope to prevent the corpse from falling directly, and after slowly putting down the two corpses, he put the knife away, looked into the distance, and smiled and waited for everyone's Sojiro to be elected and walked over.
Bai Xiaotian looked at the people of Crescent Moon Village who were hiding and couldn't help but smile, if there were only two people, Kenshin and Makicho, these people would probably come out to stop Kenshin from putting down the corpse to prevent them from being affected......
The four of them followed behind Kenshin and attached Sojiro to meet Shishio.
☆★☆
"Are you Chi Chi Woong?" Although Kenshin already knew that Zhi Zhixiong was burned by the fire, he still needed to confirm it when he saw the person in front of him who was covered in bandages.
"The successor of Pulling Dao Zhai, Zhi Zhixiong, is real...... That's me. Zhi Zhixiong glanced at everyone as he spoke, especially Bai Xiaotian who stayed on him for a long time.
"For the sake of the hot springs, you have attacked the small village......
"My goal is the whole country, and sooner or later this small village will come into my pocket. Earn it early. ”
"Your ambition is really not small...... Zuo Zhisuke looked at it for a long time, in addition to being covered with bandages or bandages, he couldn't help but feel sick when he thought about the burns all over his body, "You want to take revenge on the Meiji government that abandoned you and turned you into this......"
"No, no, no. Revenge...... This kind of thinking has long been outdated. Zhi Zhixiong shook his hand and looked at Kenshin, "I also want to thank them well, this injury has taught me a lot, and trust will be betrayed." If you are careless, you will be killed, and the best way is to kill the other person before you are killed. 'The strong survive, the weak perish', that's how simple it is, isn't it? ”
"These are all excuses for you to find selfishness for yourself." Kenshin pulled out his back-bladed sword and pointed it at Zhi Zhixiong, "I won't let anyone shed blood for your selfishness!" ”
Bai Xiaotian looked at the two people who looked at each other, and thought in his heart: 'The strong survive, and the weak perish.' This sentence, this sentence is the same as 'the weak give in to the strong, and the strong give in to the heart.' It seems to be completely two extremes, one is full of domineering selfishness, and the other is self-conscious, looking at the Zhizhi in front of him and shaking his head in his heart, this kind of thinking is unacceptable......
"Huh? Your knife ......" Zhi Zhixiong stood up and took a closer look, "You disappointed me too much...... Zhi Zhixiong shook his head when he saw the blade of the backblade blade behind, "Sojiro, it's up to you to play with him, I'll wait for you in Kyoto." He raised his hand and threw the Nagaso Yatoru in his hand at Sojiro.
"Bastard, let's go, you asked us if we ......" Zuo Zhisuke said and wanted to walk towards Zhi Zhixiong, but was pulled by Bai Xiaotian.
"I'll explain it to you later, but I'll be quiet now." Bai Xiaotian's face was pale, and Zuo Zhisuke immediately quietly retreated to Fanshen's side and muttered.
"Come back to me when you become an executioner." Zhi Zhixiong looked at Bai Xiaotian and pulled back Zuo Zhisuke with a smile, looked at Kenshin and turned around and left.
Zuo Zhisuke was pulled back by Bai Xiaotian, knowing that he was not as good as Bai Xiaotian's Kenshin, knowing that he must have other plans, he did not stop Zhi Zhixiong from leaving.
"It's rare for Lord Zhixiong to allow it, so let's have a good time." Sojiro pulled out Nagaso Yatoru and faced Kenshin.
"Just kidding." Sanosuke, who didn't know Sojiro, glanced at it contemptuously and pursed his lips disdainfully.
Sojiro rarely put away his smile and looked at Kenshin, but he was used to smiling and slashing at Kenshin for long, Kenshin saw the move and seized the opportunity to counterattack and forced Sojiro back, Sojiro habitually smiled and jumped with one foot and pointed to the ground with one toe.
Bai Xiaotian's four people have already retreated, the four of them are not ordinary people, although the two of them are extremely fast, they will fight each other in just a few seconds.
"I didn't expect this guy to be okay since he can be compared to Kenshin." Zuo Nosuke also put away his contempt and looked at Sojiro seriously.
"What's so funny?" Kenshin felt strange and uncomfortable when he saw Sojiro smiling at him.
"Nothing funny, nothing ......" The smile has become Sojiro's instinct, and even if he dies, he will die with a smile.
"Do you want to draw a knife...... Blade Guard saw both sides leaning forward before putting their knives into their sheaths, holding the knife in his left hand and placing it in front of him, and his right hand was raised in front of him.
"I'll just say that kid ......" Zuo Zhisuke saw that Bai Xiaotian shook his head and proudly wanted to say that Sojiro would be defeated, but was interrupted by a crisp sound, he shook his head in disbelief and looked at Kenshin who was kneeling on one knee, he couldn't believe that the scene in front of him was true.
Bai Xiaotian looked at the broken back-bladed knife as Zhi Zhixiong expected, the victory or defeat will be determined by the sword drawing technique, even if the sword speed is comparable, there will be a significant gap between the knife that does not hesitate when killing and the knife that hesitates when making a move!
"Senior, I hope I can prepare a good knife next time I play." Sojiro looked at Bai Xiaotian and the others as they picked up the scabbard, nodded politely to Kenshin, and bowed before leaving the scene.
"Kenshin ......" Zuo Nosuke, who has always been wide open and close, was the first to walk towards Kenshin, but when he approached, he didn't know what to say, so he couldn't say that the knife couldn't do it, although it was true that the knife couldn't do it, but he couldn't say it for a while.
Kenshin silently picked up the broken knife, stuffed it into the scabbard, and then inserted the other half into the scabbard, got up and looked in the direction Sojiro left, then turned to look at Bai Xiaotian, and passed by him without saying a word.
"Hey...... Kenshin ......" Zuo Nosuke was stunned, "What's wrong with him?" Isn't it just a defeat once.,What's the big deal.,Just get a good knife and fight it back next time.,Hey.,Kenshin.,Wait for me.。 ”
Bai Xiaotian shrugged his shoulders and followed.
"Kenshin...... Well? What's going on over there? Zuo Nosuke caught up with Kenshin and just wanted to say something when he was attracted by a noisy voice, looking over there, it turned out that it was the people in the village who tied themselves up with the gangsters who were defeated by Fanjin, and the reason for the noise seemed to be that some people wanted to kill those gangsters with machetes and hoes, and some people blocked them.
"Kill them! Kill them! The two adults encouraged the child Eiji, who was holding a knife, to kill the gangsters who were struggling on the ground, "They killed your parents, kill them and avenge your parents!" ”
"Stop! Don't ......" Maki Machi Cao wanted to stop but was held by several women, which made her red-eyed, let a child kill someone, she didn't know what was going on in her heart, in short, she didn't want to see a child's hands stained with blood.
"Ya ......" couldn't stand the encouragement of his neighbors, and Eiji finally made up his mind to scream and raise his knife to stab him.
"You idiot!" Eiji's hand, which was about to fall, was caught with a deep angry scolding.
He ...... He's so fast! Zuo Nosuke, who was following behind Kenshin, had long known that Bai Xiaotian and the blade guard were fast, but he was still surprised to see Bai Xiaotian appear behind Eiji and grab Eiji's hand.
"What the deceased expects is the happiness of the living, do you think the deceased parent wants his child's hands to be stained with blood before they have grown up?" Bai Xiaotian looked at Rong Ci seriously, "You will grow up sooner or later, do you want to use violence to make people sallow like Zhi Zhixiong when you grow up or do you want to ...... like them" Bai Xiaotian looked at the people around him with disdain, "Afraid of violence and stand by?" Add insult to injury? Or do you want to be like your brother...... A man who protects and misses his loved ones until the end? ”
Bai Xiaotian let go of the quiet and looked at the gangster on the ground...... (To be continued......)
