"Did you hear that? That guy in Scarlet Village last night actually brought back a blind man. ”

"Well, I did, a kid who looked like he was younger than him."

"I don't know where he picked it up, if it's a useless guy, it's a serious matter to send it away as soon as possible, and our Changzhou Domain doesn't raise idlers."

Listening to the conversation of the warriors of the Choshu Domain coming from the ground above his head, Ling Ze closed his eyes and remained unmoved.

He was doing his usual physical training at the moment, and since the room he was staying in was underground, he didn't have to worry too much about disturbing others.

And with Ling Ze's keen perception ability, he will naturally not be discovered by others.

The inn rented by the feudal lords of the Choshu Domain was called Kohagiya, and it was a small and inconspicuous place in the bustling city of Kyoto.

These people used this as a base to secretly operate in Kyoto in an attempt to restore the power of the Choshu Domain in Kyoto.

At the beginning of 1864, the situation in society was still in chaos, and various feudal factions were fighting for power in Kyoto.

Last year, in 1863, during the August 18 coup d'état led by the Aizu and Satsuma domains, the Choshu domain, which had been dominant in Kyoto, was expelled and lost its political influence in Kyoto, and the "Gongmu faction" returned to power.

And the Choshu Domain's "King Zunyi" giant Katsura Kogoro left alone, and the feudal priest of Kohagiya and Kenshin Scarlet Village were his reliance in Kyoto.

At present, the Choshu Domain is trained by Takasugi Shinsaku in Ogigi to train their "Wonder Soldiers", and Katsura Kogoro is secretly operating in Kyoto to maintain the political vitality of the Choshu Domain in Kyoto, and the division of labor is relatively clear.

It was in Takasugi Shinsaku's "Strange Soldier Team" that Kenshin Kinkura was selected by Katsura Kogoro to be brought to Kyoto and became a "shadow killer".

From this point, Ling Ze guessed that the place where Kiyojuro lived in seclusion was very likely to be near the territory of the Choshu Domain, otherwise there was no reason for Kenshin to enter Takasugi Jinsaku's "Wonder Soldier Team" as soon as he entered the WTO.

After all, the lord is the place where the Choshu domain of the Maori family is located, but in the far west of this country, it is not something that can be wandered casually.

"Kid, are you awake?"

Outside the door of Ling Ze's room, a woman's voice came, stopping the training movement, Ling Ze opened the sliding door and signaled that the person could come in.

Outside the door is the proprietress of Kohagiya, a gentle woman, she doesn't look very old, she is at most between thirty or forty years old, and her every move has her own calmness, and she is obviously a woman with a story.

Yesterday they had already said hello, and they got to know each other for a while.

The woman appeared in front of Ling Ze's house in a traditional Japanese kimono costume, which was a normal costume in this era.

The mainstream costumes of this era are still traditional costumes, and the Western set has not really been circulated here, but Ling Ze's slightly close-fitting suit, which seems a little inexplicably abrupt.

"Let's change into this dress, this is Mr. Scarlet's clothes, he said he can lend you to wear, I see that you are about the same shape, you should be able to wear it too."

The proprietress of Kohagiya was holding a samurai suit, and instead of entering the slightly cramped room, she placed the samurai suit on the floor of the doorway.

"Can you change it yourself?"

Obviously, she already had a certain degree of understanding of Ling Ze's situation, so she asked in a low voice.

"Thanks, I can, don't worry."

Ling Ze nodded, responding to the other party's kindness, and then he went directly over and picked up the samurai suit of Scarlet Village Kenshin.

Ling Ze's physical age is twelve years old, while Scarlet Village Kenshin is fifteen years old, although Scarlet Village Kenshin is three years older than Ling Ze, their height and weight are almost the same.

It's not that Ling Ze is too tall, it's that Kenshin of Scarlet Village is too short, and when that "Drawing Dao Zhai" grew up to be almost thirty years old, he was only a few centimeters taller than he is now.

But Ling Ze was completely different, in the next few years, Ling Ze felt that he would definitely continue to grow taller and stronger, after all, it was a bit too much to stop developing at the age of twelve.

"It's so good, this dress Xiaoling wears very well, what a heroic child."

Ling Ze finished changing his clothes in the house, and the proprietress of Hagiya, who came back with a simple meal, immediately began to praise after seeing it.

Ling Ze is quite confident in his appearance, but the name of the proprietress of Xiao Hagiya to him makes him a little uncomfortable, I don't know why, the title "Xiao Ling" sounds weird, like a girl's name.

"Thank you for taking care of you."

Ling Ze took the small dining table in the hands of the proprietress of Kohagiya, he sat directly on the ground and began to enjoy it.

This was Ling Ze's first meal since coming to this world, and to be honest, the taste was really average, and there was no way to compare it to the craftsmanship of the Empire's professional-level chef Neville.

But this is actually understandable, after all, this is just a small hotel, and it is not a restaurant with a serious chef.

"No thanks, after all, I have been taken over by the people of the Changzhou Domain, no matter what I do, they will pay."

In response to Ling Ze's thanks, the proprietress of Kohagiya smiled and made a joke.

"It's heart-wrenching for me to hear this, boss, I can't believe that such words came out of your mouth."

As soon as the words of the proprietress of Kohagiya fell, there was a joking voice from outside the door, and this voice was a man as soon as he heard it, and he was a very gentle and personable man.

"Mr. Gui, why do you have time to come here today?"

When the proprietress of Kohagiya heard that voice, she immediately got up to greet her.

Hearing her title and seeing her attitude, you can know that it is Gui Kogoro, the giant leader of the Choshu Domain.

Opening the imperial tool and looking at the passers, Ling Ze saw that the man who was indeed gentle and personable in appearance did not look like a reformist who upheld the concept of "crazy justice", but more like a rich boy.

However, if someone really despises the strength of the man in front of him because of his gentle appearance, then Katsura Kogoro will definitely make him pay the price.

The sword around Katsura Kogoro's waist was not an ornament, he studied under the "Shinto Munnen-ryu" swordsman Saito Yakuro, who worked as a jukuto in the training hall for a long time when he was young, and was also famous in Edo as a swordsman, and was a swordsman samurai whose strength should not be underestimated.

Although now he has decided not to wield a sword, but to rely on his mind to lead the Choshu Domain to achieve their goals.
