"I'm sorry, I can't."

Ling Ze rejected Gui Xiaogoro very cleanly, he didn't plan to get involved in the whirlpool of politics and become a bargaining chip for others to seek political interests.

In "Chop! Crimson Pupil" is unwilling, and naturally he will not change his mind in "Rogue Kenshin".

Besides, the fate of the next "Shadow Killer" and "Drawing Sword Zhai II", Ling Ze is very clear.

When the new government is established, the "Drawing the Knife Zhai" will naturally lose its meaning of existence, and it will even become a problem that needs to be dealt with.

Although the flame knife seems to be very cool, Ling Ze doesn't want to become the real miserable appearance of the "second-generation knife puller" Zhi Zhixiong.

“......”

Faced with Ling Ze's very firm answer, Gui Xiaogoro was silent for a moment, and he realized that this child didn't seem to be so easy to fool.

This child has a strong enough sense of self that he does not trust the words of others and is driven by the words of others.

"Sacrifice is always inevitable, if you want to bring about change in society, you must have the consciousness of bloodshed, the old order can no longer allow this country to sail in the new era, we must establish a new order and elect a new person at the helm."

As a political leader, Katsura Kogoro was much more determined than Kenshin Shikmura, and his persistence in underground operations in dangerous Kyoto after the expulsion of the Choshu Domain from Kyoto is a testament to his strong belief in innovation.

"Is that why you let your child take up arms and kill people?"

Scarlet Village Kenshin should have been around fourteen years old, following Katsura Kogoro to start his actions, and in more than a year, he killed countless people, leaving behind the legend of "the executioner draws the sword".

Despite his strength, this still can't change the fact that Kenshin Kazumura is still a child, including now that Katsura Kogoro wants to recruit him, doesn't he also have any scruples about his age?

“......”

This time, Katsura Kogoro was silent, because this was a fact that he couldn't refute, no matter what era it was, it couldn't be said to be a glorious thing to let a child go to the battlefield and become a killing machine.

"There will always be people who have to sacrifice and give up something for the sake of the arrival of a new era......"

Katsura Kogoro glanced at Kagemura Kenshin, who was silent with his head down, in fact, he was really sorry for Kagemura Kenshin, because it was he who brought Kinkmura Kenshin into this Shura path and ruined this child's life.

If Kenshin Kazumura can show even the slightest desire to read with him, Katsura Kogoro will be able to make himself feel no guilt about him.

But the child Kenshin of Scarlet Village is too pure, and he only has the idea of "changing this world and welcoming a new era" in his heart.

This makes adults like Gui Kogoro look very worldly and ugly, and makes them adults who are struggling for something else seem more and more unbearable.

Therefore, for Kagemura Kenshin, Katsura Kogoro didn't want him to just exist as an executioner, he felt that people like Kinkmura Kenshin should have a higher status, reputation and prestige.

Katsura Kogoro wants to bring Kenshin Shinamura into the political circle of the Choshu Domain, so that he can come to the fore and become a true Restorationist, rather than a killer who exists in the shadows.

This time, Katsura Kogoro came to find Kenshin in the Scarlet Village, and he actually came with this purpose.

Two days later, there will be a secret meeting between their Choshu Domain and the "Emperor Tsuyi faction" of each domain, and he wants to bring Kimmura Kenshin with him, not as a guard or anything, but as a politician with his own political rights.

If Ling Ze can be recruited this time, Gui Xiaogoro plans to let Ling Zelai gradually take over the responsibility of "shadow killer" from the hands of Scarlet Village Kenshin, and completely liberate Scarlet Village Kenshin.

Of course, Ling Ze was 10,000 unwilling to do this idea of Gui Xiaogolang, if he really did it, wouldn't he really become the second-generation "executioner pulling out the sword"?

"I respect and admire those of you who have worked hard to change the times and society, but please forgive me, I still have my own things to do."

Ling Ze agreed with Gui Xiaogoro's statement, he felt that Gui Xiaogoro was right, the transformation of a society does require the sacrifice of many people, and those people are worthy of respect.

But as an outsider, Ling Ze does not have that sense of social responsibility, nor does he have the sense of urgency to catch up with the times, so it is completely impossible for Ling Ze to fight for their new era.

Included in Chop! It's the same in the world of Crimson Pupils, Ling Ze doesn't have any feelings and sense of responsibility for the empire he lives in, of course he won't die for the glory of any empire, and he won't feel how righteous the revolutionary army is.

"Since that's the case, then I won't force it anymore, but please keep it a secret for our Changzhou Domain, and don't go out and reveal that our stronghold is here."

Seeing that he couldn't convince Ling Ze, Gui Xiaogoro directly gave up his plan to continue, he could see Ling Ze's resoluteness in this matter, and knew that no matter how much he said, it would be just a vain speech.

"Don't worry, I'll be leaving Kyoto soon, because I still have to take on my next goal."

Ling Ze agreed, he would not help the Changzhou Domain expose the identity of Iizuka's spies, and naturally he would not be idle to reveal the old background of the Changzhou Domain everywhere, although their old background is estimated to have been sold out by Iizuka.

"Kenshin Kagemura, I want to visit your master Kiyojuro Hiko, can you tell me how to find him?"

Ling Ze turned his head to face the direction where Scarlet Village Kenshin was standing, and asked such a sentence, which made Scarlet Village Kenshin stunned for a moment.

"Are you going to challenge my master?"

Scarlet Village Kenshin immediately thought of this, and the way he looked at Ling Ze began to become a little sympathetic.

"Yes, I'm going to challenge your master, I want to see the Flying Heavenly Sword Stream's Mystery Heavenly Soaring Dragon Flash."

Although he said so, whether or not to challenge Bigu Qingjuro mainly depends on whether it will trigger any tasks at that time, if he can, in fact, Ling Ze still wants to follow Bigu Qingjuro to learn the "Flying Rejuvenation Technique".

"I advise you to give up this plan, Master's strength is beyond your imagination, although you have that kind of strong defense, but I can't break through your defense, it doesn't mean that my master can't, my Flying Sword Flow and Master are not comparable at all."

Scarlet Village Kenshin obviously didn't think that Ling Ze's ability to challenge his master Bigu Qingjuro was qualified to challenge his master, Bigu Qingjuro, after all, in addition to that strong defensive power, Ling Ze's speed and strength were only similar to him.

And when he faced his master Bigu Qing Shilang, he had no power to fight back at all, and Scarlet Village Kenshin felt that Ling Ze would not be much stronger than him, at most he would just be more resistant to beating than him, so he opened his mouth to persuade Ling Ze to give up this idea.
