"How's Heisuke's injury? Has it stabilized? ”

In Mibu Village, where the Shinsengumi are stationed, Isamu Kondo, who looks like a gorilla with a kokuji face and a gorilla, sat at his desk, and asked Shinhachi Nagakura, who was standing not far in front of him, with a calm face.

"He was still in danger, he was too badly injured, and the doctor said that it was already a miracle that he would still be alive when he was sent over."

Nagakura Shinpachi's mood was a little low, and he felt that he was fully responsible for the failure of this arrest.

"Fujitang is a man with a big fate, I believe he will be fine, Xinba, don't blame yourself, no one would have thought that person would have such a strong strength."

Standing next to Isamu Kondo is a man with a very mature male charm and a very handsome appearance, he is the vice head of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toyozo.

This man's handsomeness is as delicate as a full-time actor, and he is a beautiful man who is unmatched among the samurai at the end of the Bakudo except for Ita Hachiro.

Hijikata Suizo is a skilled swordsman and a scheming man, and he has always played the role of a military advisor in the Shinsengumi, and many of the accurate and effective strategies of the Shinsengumi are due to his planning.

Although the director of the Shinsengumi is Isamu Kondo, it is no exaggeration to say that the soul of the Shinsengumi is Toyozo Hijikata.

If Isamu Kondo is the leader of the Shinsengumi, then Toshizo Hijikata is the man behind the actual dominance of the organization.

Although Hijikata Suizo gives people the impression of "unscrupulous means to achieve the goal", but when dealing with the team members, he also acts as the glue that binds everyone, and for the loss of Nagakura Shinhachi, Hijikata Suizo sees it in his eyes, and naturally does not sit idly by.

"Yes, don't blame yourself, Shinhachi, you can't be blamed for that."

After Isamu Kondo reacted, he also comforted Shiba Nagakura.

"Let's talk about the "blind young swordsman Zatoichi", you said he also had a powerful firearm that could be easily carried? Do you see what kind of weapon it is? ”

As a master of war, Hijikata Suizo was very keenly aware of this point reported by Nagakura Shinhachi before, and he was not interested in how superb the swordsmanship of that "Zatoichi" was, but he had some ideas about the special weapons exposed by that person.

"I didn't see it clearly, that weapon was very hidden, but the power was huge, his hit rate was also very high, basically there was no bullet, none of the soldiers who were shot survived, and the physical condition was very miserable when he died."

Nagakura Shinpachi's face was ugly, obviously thinking of the terrifying scene again, they hadn't seen firearms, but firearms with such terrifying power were unimaginable.

“......”

Isamu Kondo and Toshizo Hijikata were silent, and they both had a very bad idea slowly emerging in their hearts, if that "Zatoichi" was from the Choshu Domain, did that mean that the Choshu Domain had mastered that terrifying firearm?

If that's the case, it will definitely be a devastating blow to the shogunate, because the firearms and cannons that the shogunate bought from the "Yiren" obviously don't have that kind of power.

"It can't be! The relationship between the Choshu domain and the Yi people was not good, and if the shogunate couldn't buy that kind of firearm, it was even more impossible for them to get it, it must be something else. ”

Isamu Kondo categorically denied that speculation, and his statement was very reasonable, because the Choshu Domain, which was the "Emperor of the Emperor's faction", was now the real "Emperor of the Emperor's faction", and their relationship with those "Emperors" was hostile.

Firearms are not widely used in Japan, and even the real army is only equipped with very few, and it is still the era of the samurai, but it is conceivable that with the influx of more firearms, the samurai class will gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

Hijikata was very aware of this, but he still didn't want to believe that there was already that kind of firearm now, and he felt that it belonged to the era of the samurai, and it should be a little longer.

"Give pensions to the seven soldiers who died in battle, don't let everyone chill."

Although Hijikata was still emotional, he had not forgotten what he should do.

"Yes."

Nagakura Shinpachi answered, of course he wouldn't forget this kind of thing.

"Give an order, go all out to search for the whereabouts of that blind Zatoichi in Kyoto, I will go and report to Matsudaira Yoho-sama, and ask him to list that blind Zatoichi as a wanted criminal in the whole country, and we must catch him and cut off his head!"

Seeing that Shinhachi Nagakura was leaving, Isamu Kondo said suddenly, which made Shinpachi Nagakura look suspicious, but then he nodded with ecstatic face, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Yes!"

Nagakura Shinhachi replied loudly, and then he walked out quickly, obviously eager to start tracking down the whereabouts of Zatoichi in order to avenge the death of his brothers.

Hijikata looked at Isamu Kondo, in fact, he felt that this approach was not particularly necessary, after all, the strength of that "blind Zatochi" was so unfathomable, they should try to avoid being enemies of the other party.

"Recently, there has been an increase in the number of samurai with suspicious identities in Kyoto, and it seems that the Choshu Domain and the "King Tsubi" faction of the various domains want to make a big move, and we will intensify our search efforts to catch a few large fish. ”

After Nagakura Shinpachi walked out, Isamu Kondo said this to Hijikata Suizo, which made Hijikata Suizo breathe a sigh of relief, because this was their original plan, and what "blind Zatochi" was not in their plan.

"It seems that those words just now are just words, and Kondo is starting to get a little smarter."

Hijikata Suizo was relieved in his heart, and it must be a good thing for him that Jin Tengyong could be smarter, which could save him a lot of effort.

Zatoichi, who almost changed the Shinsengumi plan and made the Ikedaya incident impossible to happen, had silently escaped from Kyoto.

In this era, people were forbidden to leave their respective feudal domains without an official order from the shogunate, even if you were not a feudal lord, but just ordinary people, or it was even more impossible.

Therefore, in the case of a very small floating population, it is not easy to get out of the urban area, but after mixing out, it is a high sky for birds to fly and the sea to leap.

After all, in this wilderness, there are no serious people except for mobs, bandits, bandits, and the like who can't get along and wander around.

Ling Ze was wearing a red and white samurai suit, a hat on his head, a black cloth belt was tied around his eyes, a katana and a rib gap were stuck in his waist, and a red cane was in his hand, looking like a blind wanderer.

The red and white samurai uniforms were previously obtained from Kenshin Kimmura, the hat and the new blindfold were bought at the bazaar, and the katana and ribs around the waist were captured from a scum samurai who did not have long eyes.

Ling Ze was ready, he was going to meet the strongest person in this world, "Kiyojuro Higu".
