Chapter 32: The Deal in the City
Ikoma was stunned by Lin Yuedong and went back, his mind was full of "Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds", "Brave boy, go and create miracles". Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, this is indeed the great task entrusted to him by history - you are the protagonist, if you don't save the world, who will?
It's just that in the original work, his salvation is probably only in the form of a wave of indecisiveness, and under Lin Yuedong's indoctrination, he has begun to gradually learn to think more deeply.
The brainless recklessness in the animation may really save the world, but this is already a real world, and the brainless recklessness must be the worst choice. If you want to save the world, you can only rely on intelligence, emotional intelligence and the right mind. Lin Yuedong firmly believes in this.
Towards the end of the battle, Enohisa, the veteran of the Kakata who was rescued from Yatsushiro Post by Castlevania, really launched an assassination of Mima just like in the plot: he had actually been bought by the shogunate, but he was trapped in Yatsushiro Post by accident, and it was originally expected that he should have arrived at Wabun Station a long time ago.
It's a pity that although he was lucky enough to catch up, this veteran is not only an ordinary person, but also has a crippled leg, and he was cut in half without walking in front of the stronger Tentori Misa who is stronger than the original - Tentori Misa who was forced to kill the fire was not in a good mood, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him at all.
Ikoma didn't witness this. When this happened, he was still thinking about the right way. By the time he knew, he was already on his way back to the city.
Killing the person who assassinated him, this kind of thing is not even overly defensive, and Ikoma naturally didn't feel anything wrong. It is even more unlikely that he would have known that in another period of history, he had a small conflict with Meima and earned himself the title of "Holy Mother" in a wide audience.
When Kecheng returned to Wuwenyi, Calamus and Laiqi took the lead in welcoming him.
"Congratulations on the victory, what a good fight. Mima-sama's martial arts are even better than rumored. Calamus said with a smile.
"It's overrated. This battle is still thanks to the two fighters of the Exorcist Alliance, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be the first defeat in the history of the Hunters. Amachi said modestly.
"The strength of the hunters is strong, and the two of us are just icing on the cake." Guns N' Rose also said modestly. The sedan chair carries people, and finally won a battle, so it is natural to say good things to each other and create a harmonious atmosphere.
"The tight formation and subtle coordination of the hunters against Kabane was a real eye-opener for me. Mima-sama is not only brave in martial arts, but also has the ability to fight the art of war, which is comparable to the tiger of Kai or the dragon of Echigo. Jiuzhi Laiqi said admiringly.
"Don't dare to be, this is really too much. How dare I call those two geniuses together. Tentori Mima smiled, "Calamus-sama, I heard that the Iron City is preparing to leave for Kongoguo today?" ”
Calamus didn't expect Amari to suddenly say this, and was slightly stunned before replying: "Yes, it's scheduled to leave today." ”
Mima proposed, "Then, if you can, we will escort Jiatiecheng to Vajra Guo." ”
"Huh?" Calamus was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that Meima would make such a proposal. Because Kecheng had just entered the city today, and had experienced such a big battle, she thought that the hunters would also have to rest in the city anyway.
In all fairness, though, she didn't think much of the proposal. Although the Hunters are powerful, it should be a good thing to have their bodyguards, but what she saw with her own eyes is that the black smoke today is also the result of the Hunters......
With the danger of black smoke appearing at any time, Calamus felt that it was really not very safe.
"Mima-sama, you have just arrived today, and you have experienced a battle, so it is better to rest for a few days at the Wuwen Station." Calamus declined.
Meima's eyes widened slightly in surprise, and after thinking about it, she guessed the reason why Calamus said this, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, there will be no such thing as extinguishing fires again." The hunters are well-trained, accustomed to fighting all year round, and do not need to rest. ”
"That's a bit ......," Iris was still unwilling.
"What's so bad? Since Tentori-sama is kind to help, then accept it. Lin Yuedong said in a relaxed tone.
"But......" Calamus didn't know what to say. Do you want to say that you are afraid that the hunters will turn into black smoke?
"It's not a suggestion, it's an opinion." Lin Yuedong's eyes condensed slightly, "You, have you forgotten what you promised me when you came out of Xianjinyi?" That's what I'm asking for, you know how to do it. ”
Calamus was startled. When she was in Xianjinyi, she had promised Lin Yuedong, but whenever Lin Yuedong asked for something, she would mobilize all the forces of Jia Tiecheng to help. But she really didn't expect that Lin Yuedong would make such a request at this time.
Although I don't know what Lin Yuedong is calculating, he can't go back on what he promised. Besides, even if he wants to regret it, once Lin Yuedong turns his face, Jia Tiecheng is afraid that he will have no power to fight back.
After thinking about it, Calamus had to say, "Okay, then it's going to be troublesome for Mima-sama." ”
"That's right." Lin Yuedong said with satisfaction. Only when Jia Tiecheng and Kecheng set off together, and their own plans and plots can they ensure smooth progress. "So, what to do, what to do. Tentori-sama, there are some things I want to discuss with you. ”
Tentori Mima said with some surprise: "Something to discuss?" …… Then let's go to the city and talk about it. ”
Kecheng returned to the depot, and the hunters began to supply and repair the vehicles in a close and orderly manner, while Lin Yuedong and Tentori Mima entered a slightly cramped room with a long table in the middle and a circle of seats around it, which was obviously used to meet passengers.
This place Lin Yuedong is a little familiar, I remember that it was the place where Amari negotiated with Calamus after Tianniao Mima kidnapped Kecheng in the plot.
"So, what do you want to discuss with me?" Tianniao Mima motioned for Lin Yuedong to sit down, poured two glasses of water for the two of them, and asked.
"Lord Tentori's men have probably already captured the city lord of the Ubunyi at this time." Lin Yuedong said casually.
"What?" Tentori Mima's pupils shrank, "Why did Mr. Lin say this?" ”
"Haha, don't be so surprised." Lin Yuedong said with a smile, "Enoku's assassination was not a spur of the moment, the enemy of Lord Tentori is the shogunate except for Kabane, Kabane will not play this, the command behind it must be from the shogunate, and it is impossible for the lord of this place to say that he does not know." Since Tentori-sama has been assassinated, it's natural that he wants to find someone to ask for clarification, isn't it? ”
"So that's what you think...... "Mima Ama Tentori smiled a little with a sigh of relief, "No matter who you are, you won't let someone assassinate you without reacting, will you?" ”
"Don't be in such a hurry to relax, I'm not done yet." Lin Yuedong said playfully, "Ten years ago, the shogunate suddenly cut off the logistical support of the Kyushu Raiding Army, resulting in the defeat of the 400,000 army. Hirotsuka, the lord of the city in this place, was the logistics officer in charge of grain and grass at the time, and he must know the cause and effect of this incident, and Lord Tentori wants to ask about this matter by the way, so I naturally understand. ”
This time, Mima Tentori was really shocked: "How do you know this?" ”
Lin Yuedong said with a smile: "I also know, in fact, you already know in your heart who was behind the biggest defeat back then." Hehe, who benefits, who masterminds, isn't this a very simple truth? Isn't it the one who purged the opposition with a defeat, consolidated his power, and implemented his ideas throughout the day? ”
Mima Tentori took a deep breath: "It seems that you know quite a bit. ”
Lin Yuedong said for a long time: "Of course there are a lot, but you don't have to panic, to some extent, you and I are still allies." Although I don't have any blood hatred against the shogunate, I am also quite dissatisfied with its attitude of not wanting to make progress and treating Hangzhou as Bianzhou. In the matter of the downfall, we may be able to join forces a little. ”
Down!
Mima Tentori's heart jumped. This is the biggest wish in his heart at the moment, but it was said so lightly by Lin Yuedong.
He froze and asked, "Are you......?" Why do you think I want to fall too? ”
"It all stemmed from the defeat of Kyushu." Lin Yuedong said eloquently, "When you were in Kyushu, you had almost established a defense line to keep Kabane out of the country, but for the sake of its own power, the shogunate disregarded the people's livelihood and brazenly cut off the backup, resulting in a failure. Anyone who has returned from Kyushu is afraid that there is no one who does not grit his teeth and hate the shogunate, such as your subordinate, Sha Liang. ”
Sha Liang is the one who drove a train into a foal in the twelfth episode of the original work. In the ninth episode, when Iwado Station was destroyed, he once said, "This is retribution, the shogunate has been greedy for the past ten years." This is obviously one of the surviving soldiers in Kyushu, who hated the betrayal of the shogunate at a critical moment to the core, so much so that he did not hesitate to follow Mima and retaliate by slaughtering the castle in Kabane.
Of course, hatred of the shogunate was only one of the causes. For people like Sha Liang, maybe this is the whole meaning of life, but Lord Tianniao, you see it even higher. From this defeat, you recognize the cowardice of the general. Tianniao Xingkuang may not be very afraid of Kabane, but he is afraid of you, afraid that you will take his place with the power of Kyushu's great victory. ”
Tenniao Mima has shown a genius far beyond his father since he was a child, and Tenniao Xingkuang is quite afraid of this, after all, there are many cases in history where sons seize power from their fathers. Because of this fear, he even stabbed Mima and told him that "it was fear that made me do it". This incident has become a long-term wound in the heart of Mima Tentori.
"Of course, you are also very dissatisfied with the shogunate's policy of building walls to protect itself. After all, you're a radical, and fighting Kabane is what people should do, so what's the point of hiding and stealing your life? It's just waiting for death. The cowardice of these upper-class people makes you realize that identity does not mean anything, princes will have no seeds, and the reckless rise is the future of the day. ”
Yoshida Shoin turned to the theory of reckless rise because of the incompetence of the feudal officials and ministers, and Tentori Mima was no exception.
"Of course, it seems to you that it makes no sense that these cowards can rule the day of the day. Only the strong can and are qualified to live in this last days. If you can't be strong, you should die. So, I think you're going to fall the curtain. Lin Yuedong finally said.
Hearing Lin Yuedong's analysis, Tianniao Meima only felt like being struck by lightning, and her mind was in chaos. He never thought that there would be such a person, who could analyze his psychology clearly in less than half a day!
Who the hell is this? Why are you so proficient?
What he didn't know was that there were actually two points that Lin Yuedong had not pointed out. One is the immaturity of Tentori Mima's own thinking - or the second disease - and the other is the extreme nature of Tentori Misa. When he was a child, he was stabbed by his father and the defeat of Kyushu, the two major traumas, the radical thoughts, his own middle two and extremism, together led to the current way of thinking of Mima Amatori, and his decision to fall the curtain.
It's just that Lin Yuedong naturally won't say these two points. He also wants to cooperate with Mima Tentori, so why bother saying such annoying things.
Tentori Mima settled down, and then said suspiciously: "Oh my God, what the hell are you...... I wonder now, did you plant spies around me ten years ago and keep an eye on me to this day...... How do you know me so well? ”
Lin Yuedong focused on portraying you in the animation, and I asked your subordinates to verify it again, if you don't understand it anymore, you should commit suicide.
"The mystery in this is not enough for outsiders." He chuckled, "The point is, you plan to fall the curtain, and it just so happens that I don't like the shogunate, and I have another enemy in Kongokaku." So, we can join forces a little bit, can't we? ”
Mima Tentori said in a deep voice, "How are you going to join forces?" ”
"It's very simple, I can help you take out the shogunate, and you have to help me stop the people of the Exorcist Alliance after entering Kongokaku!"
