The Seven Realities of the Rogue

Da da da.

The footsteps of the two people staggered, one was gentle and the other was hurried, which seemed to indicate the mood of the two at this time.

"So Miss Ba, what are you doing?"

Jian Xin felt the veins throbbing in his head, whether his mood swings were too big this morning.

"Can't you see?" Holding the food and tableware, Ba did not look back at Kenshin, and asked softly.

"Helping in the kitchen..." Of course he could see that.

"That's not asking knowingly."

So, why did you help the kitchen so nonchalantly?This is the crux of the problem.Resisting the urge to cover his face again, he felt as if he had awakened some strange attribute.

"Anyway, I have something to ask you."

"In a while, I'm busy now." Already at the Pine Hall, Bara opened the door.

"Excuse me, breakfast is here."

The moment the door was pushed open, the "righteous men" who had been sitting comfortably stepped forward one after another, and surrounded Xuedaiba as if they had seen some rare treasure.

"Oh! Is this the person who is dating Himura!"

"Beauty!"

"It seems to be older than Feicun."

"But it looks as cold as Feicun."

Then a very heated discussion started. Everyone who is not a talkative person on weekdays is also active today because of the arrival of Ba.

"My name is Ba, please give me your advice." Surrounded by everyone, he didn't panic at all, introduced himself generously and calmly, and then distributed breakfast in front of everyone, without losing etiquette, with a beautiful and dignified posture, now everyone The eyes of people looking at Jianxin seem to be conveying words like "Why are you so lucky, you little brat!"

"Hey." Jian Xin's stomach hurts. "you……"

"What are you still shy about?" Iizuka teased Kenshin, "You little brat!"

Where is my knife?

Jian Xin fumbled for the knife on his body, thinking that beheading the group of people in front of him now would be nothing.That feeling of being broken.

"Well, don't make trouble, after all, it's drawing swords."

Iizuka shrugged and took the lead in returning to seriousness.

"Mr. Gui is staying in the capital now. What about the mansion of the Tibetan family? Who will protect Mr. Gui when you come here?" Jian Xin couldn't really draw his sword. Compared to these, the first thing he thought of was Gui Xiaowulang's safety. He was ambushed last night, and he was not sure how much the shogunate knew about Changzhou Fan in Kyoto.

"You can rest assured about this." Everyone returned to their seats, and Iizuka pointed to an inconspicuous corner, where Katsura Kogoro was drinking tea calmly.

"Mr. Gui decided to live with us recently."

……

……

After the chaotic breakfast time was over, Jian Xin approached Shang Gui and said that he had something to report to him, and the two walked to the backyard alone, and Jian Xin carefully told him what happened last night.

"really?"

Gui looked serious.

"The assassin set up an ambush in advance, and waited for the opportunity on the path I went back to." Jian Xin replied.

"The news about Changzhou Fan has been leaked. I don't know how much has been leaked, but at least it includes the part of "Bao Dao Zhai"."

"Among us, there are traitors." Jian Xin judged.

"Yesterday... the Shinsengumi brigade came out in full force." Gui neither affirmed nor denied Jianshin's words.

"Mr. Gu Gao, who was scheduled to participate in the Secret Meeting of the Prayer Garden, was taken away by them."

The more Gui Xiaowulang said, the darker his expression became, so that it can be judged that the existence of the traitor is a certainty, and if he is caught, he must be eradicated immediately.

"Aren't you strengthening the defense around you?" Jian Xin asked.

"I have plans, you have to be careful yourself." Gui said and left first.

It was almost self-evident what the next group of Mibu wolves were going to attack.They must really want to get this leader of the Changzhou fan reformers.

Therefore, if the traitor cannot be found out as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable, and that one step may change the direction of history.

"...First of all, let's settle the trouble at hand first." The woman named Ba had to be sent away as soon as possible.

Jian Xin returned to her room, and Ba was sitting at the small table eating breakfast, it seemed that she started eating after everyone had used it up.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, because he didn't want to disturb Ba, Jian Xin sat on the window sill of the room window holding the sword, ready to persuade Ba to leave.

"?"

"So, I hope you forget everything about last night and leave quickly."

"Is there any inconvenience if I stay here? The proprietress likes me very much." Ba seemed a little puzzled.

"Your family members will be worried." Kenshin looked down at the floor and didn't look at Ba.

"call……"

She shook her head slightly, closed her eyes as if she was remembering something, and when she opened her mouth again, she was filled with sorrow and pain.

"If there is a home to go back to, will a daughter's family get drunk in the middle of the night?" The tone is clearly the same as before, but Jianxin can feel her real pain. I couldn't help but want to look up to see what Ba's demeanor was like.

Ah, it's still the same.

It hasn't changed from the beginning to now, and this woman is still expressionless.

"I don't care about your business, I don't have that spare time right now." Hardened his mind, Jian Xin murmured in his mind that he couldn't do it, and wanted to calm himself down as usual.

"That is, are you going to deal with me? Like the black warrior last night."

"I kill people only for the success of the Restoration and for the creation of a new era. I will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, but will only deal with those enemies of the shogunate who wield knives. Of course, there are also common people who are against us, but I am unarmed. will kill."

"Will you kill people just because you hold a knife or not?" Ba asked again, "If I had a weapon last night, would you kill me too?"

"This..." Jian Xin fell silent, unable to answer her question.

"Anyway, if you think of an answer, please tell me." Ba packed the tableware, opened the door and left.

"Wait a minute!!! That means you still want to stay?!"

Balen didn't leave his back to Jianxin, he was the only one left in the room.

Once again, she was out of order. If her attitude was more determined, she should be driven away even if she was forced to do so.

"Damn."

In other words, I was out of order before, but now I am just returning to normal.Who can tell the difference between them?
