Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

The location for negotiations between the two parties was finalized in Edo.

The location was chosen in a private box of a teahouse.

The people responsible for the security of the negotiations are Hijikata Toshizo and Okita Souji of the Shinsengumi, as well as their subordinate team members, a total of eleven people.

Completely block off the third floor and above of the teahouse, and do not allow any unrelated persons to enter or exit.

With the Shinsengumi's credit endorsement, this negotiation can be considered safe. At least both parties dare not start a fight directly in front of the Shinsengumi.

Even if the talks fall apart, we have to slowly figure out how to deal with it after we go back.

Okita Souji was guarding the stairs on the third floor, holding wagashi in his hand and eating it, like a little hamster, talking to Hijikata Tozo.

"Mr. Hijikata, didn't you all say yesterday that the Hakuho Group was going to be doomed? Why is there still a chance for negotiation today?"

Hijikata Toshizo said calmly: "I just said that there is a high probability that the Hakuho Group will be wiped out. Who knew that Inahaya Kai's full blow failed to win with one blow."

"Didn't a swordsman take action? Could it be that the wandering swordsman has returned?"

"I don't know the specific situation. I just know that yesterday three swordsmen took action, but they were all defeated." Hijikata took out the cigarette box, tapped it with his fingers, popped out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, and said thoughtfully: "According to In the Shinsengumi’s intelligence system, it is said that a swordsman has died, and this is the direct reason that prompted Inahaya to choose to negotiate.”

"So we were called over to work overtime." Souji Okita said angrily: "A group of gangsters actually asked us to guard the gate for them."

"This time the peace talks were held under the auspices of the shogunate, and they were also held in private." Hijikata pressed the lighter and lit the cigarette: "Boss Kondo doesn't want to take on this job, but there is no way. We are civil servants after all, and we should The tasks to be performed will be performed.”

"If the negotiation breaks down, why don't we fight?" Okita licked his lips: "I haven't killed a Yakuza member for a long time."

Hijikata Toshizo breathed out white mist, and at this time a team member leaned close and whispered a few words.

The deputy director of Ghost narrowed his eyes and said, "Someone has arrived."

…

Ten minutes ago.

The top seat of the teahouse.

There were two groups of people sitting on the left and right of a table... the Inahaya group and the Bai Feng group.

At the top of the table, a curtain hung down, and behind the curtain sat a vague figure. It was not clear who it was, only that it was a big shot in the shogunate.

Outside the curtain stood a messenger in black clothes, presiding over the negotiation on his behalf.

The man was like a eunuch with a sharp voice, shouting: "Today's negotiation will be conducted under the witness of the shogunate. Both sides are invited to make presentations and put forward their respective demands."

Naomi Hakumine specially put on a black mourning dress today. She said calmly: "The Hakumine group demands that Inahaya will be responsible for all casualties and losses caused in this undeclared war and return the occupied Hakumine All strongholds of the group, compensate us for the loss of assets, and..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by an old man on the other side.

There are only three people who will come forward today.

One named Kosaburo Usui, the deceased Yoshiji Usui’s grandfather, is also the current head of the Usui family and the current president of the Inahaya Kai. The other two are both powerful figures in the Inahaya Kai. The white paper fan of Zaohui is called Shetoudi in the Jidao; the other surname is Matsushita, which is the double-flowered red stick of Dazaohui, and is called Ruotou in the Jida.

Kosaburo Usui said unceremoniously: "Compensation for losses is a joke. Inahaya won the battle but not lost. Your strongholds were all wiped out. Changletian was also burned to the ground. Ruozhong and his retainers were also burned." How many people are left? With the Bai Feng Group’s family background, we can’t support so many people without the territory.”

Kosaburo Usui pressed his withered fingers on the table, and suddenly his expression turned fierce and he said with a ferocious expression: "My grandson died in this battle, and I haven't asked you for compensation yet!"

Shiromine Naomi said coldly: "Since Chairman Inahaya knows so clearly, why do you still choose to negotiate?"

Gu Sanlang sneered: "I'm just giving you a way out, don't be disrespectful."

Naomi sighed quietly: "Since you are choosing to negotiate under the shogunate, please show your sincerity... At least it is not good to lie on key issues. The body of the purple lightning swordsman was returned yesterday. , this is the reason why Inahaya is willing to negotiate, right? Although you have won on the surface, you cannot give the Hakuho Group a fatal blow. At least I am still alive, and the foundation of the Hakuho Group still exists. In other words, give us We could have a comeback at any time for a while.”

Her voice was not loud and did not have many ups and downs, but the words she spoke contained actual fire of anger beneath the silence.

"The Inahaya Association is very powerful, but the Hakuho Group is still there. We can continue to fight this war until our side is completely dead or falls apart."

"How many swordsmen are there in the Inahaya Club?"

"I would like to ask the head of the Bojing family, do you have to have the swordsman guard you every night in order to sleep peacefully?"

Kosaburo Usui said angrily: "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm just telling the truth. This is how the Yakuza war is. It's not over until the last person dies." Naomi Shiromine said coldly: "You were the one who made the move first! Why are you still complaining to the shogunate now! "

The atmosphere was tense for a moment.

The big shot in the shogunate behind the curtain seemed to have said something, and the host listened to it, and then said in a sharp voice: "The Hakuho Group has already put forward its demands. Next, it will be Inahaya's turn to put forward his own negotiation proposals."

Kasai from the Inahaya Association took out a stack of paper and was about to give a long speech, but Shiromine Naomi glanced at it and skipped to the end: "Our appeal is very simple. Inahaya Association hopes that the Hakumine Group can disband on its own. We can follow the instructions We will provide humanitarian compensation for some losses. In the future, Daozaohui can sign an agreement with the Bai Feng family to ensure that your lives will not be disturbed..."

"Absolutely impossible." Naomi refused.

"Alternatively," Kasai continued, "Naomi Shiromine can choose the Kanto Alliance generation group for marriage, and the children of the head of the Shiromine family will lead the Shirakine group... Then we can exchange half of the Shirakine group's current industry and share the location in Jiang part of the household’s property.”

Ruotou of the Bai Feng group clenched his fists, and he indeed said exactly what his husband said.

This calculation is really loud.

Kosaburo Usui said calmly: "If you can't accept Inahaya, you can also seek refuge with other companies... This is also the only way for the Shiroho Group to continue to exist. I hope you will think about it carefully, little girl of the Shiroho family."

Naomi Shiromine asked, "Why do you think I will agree to your unreasonable request?"

"You will agree." Kozaburo Usui said: "Because you know that you can't keep what you have, and following the winner is not a bad thing in the first place."

At this time, the person behind the curtain spoke again.

After listening, the host did not raise his voice, but lowered his voice: "Your Excellency, the shogunate intends to promote the market economy, and the Baifeng group can consider restructuring and forming a company system. At that time, the shogunate can consider providing certain policy support and allowing Baifeng to The company operates some special industries."

Shiromine Naomi looked in the direction of the curtain. She knew that the shogunate would help, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so direct... After promising benefits, what's next? What does she have to pay?

"However, it is necessary to disband the Shinto Geninryu, announce the death of the wandering swordsman, and marry the person designated by the shogunate..." The host's eyes shone with light: "Master Bai Feng, are you satisfied? The shogunate is satisfied. Supporting it with your own hands, even though you are not from the Wu family, is a ticket to the new world."

I don’t care about plotting, even for the missing sister Mahiru.

Is this to completely cut off her escape route, force her to remain anonymous, or simply run away?

Do you really want to eliminate the roots?

Naomi Shiraimine's eyes were cold. If she could sacrifice herself to join Shiromine and join others, she might consider it, but without exception, these people are all lions who want both...not just her people, but also others. Include the Bai Feng Group as well.

"I don't accept it," she said. "I don't accept it either."

The host took a step forward and said in a sharp voice: "Have you thought about it carefully? This is the goodwill of the shogunate!"

Kosaburo Usui said coldly: "Do you really think you are still qualified to bargain?"

Shiromine Naomi had already stood up: "Then let the war continue."

Behind the curtain, the big shot of the shogunate said calmly: "In that case... let's list the Hakuho Group as criminals designated by the shogunate."

Shiromine Naomi was shocked and looked behind the curtain: "Is this the attitude of the shogunate? Defining hundreds of people as criminals requires the signature of the shogun!"

"I have already given you a chance, Patriarch Bai Feng. I have already arrived here. Do you still need to ask what your general's attitude will be?" The big man's voice was somewhat feminine and playful: "As long as you dare to leave this gate... ...I promise that within three days, all the heads of your Shirakine family will be hung on the execution platform of the shogunate."

Naomi stood where she was, no matter whether she left or left.

Sure enough, the most difficult thing is the hand within the shogunate.

Shiromine Naomi couldn't tell whether the other party was trying to scare her or if she really had the ability.

She didn't dare to gamble.

Once she is classified as a criminal by the shogunate, she will have no place to live in the entire Yingzhou. She will either become a bandit, abandon her family business and leave her hometown, or she will all become a dead soul under the sword!

Just thinking about the heads placed on the execution platform with no eyes open made her feel dizzy.

"Make a decision quickly." the host urged.

Kosaburo Hakui also looked stern and said inwardly: "Stop wasting time!"

Both parties exerted pressure at the same time.

A group of demons danced wildly in the room, like ghosts rushing towards her ferociously, trying to tear her into pieces.

At this time...

Squeak!

The door to the conference room was pushed open, footsteps were heard, and then he stepped in...

A white dress shines in everyone's sight.

The young man walked into the meeting room as if there was no one else around, holding a big bag in his hand and humming Gwen's ditty, looking leisurely and contented.

The host was about to yell: "You are..."

‘Who’ hasn’t had time to say it yet.

The young man raised his eyes and scanned the surrounding area, and then became quiet again.

Everyone who looks at him can feel as if he is looking directly at the sun, and his eyes feel burning pain.

"I'm a little late to deal with a little bit of debris."

The young man in white spoke calmly, then walked to the table, pulled out a chair and took a seat.

His whole body exudes a temperament that is incompatible with the local area of ​​Yingzhou. His whole body exudes a arrogant spirit that cannot be cultivated by a big country. He has a sense of dignity and self-confidence from the inside out.

Kosaburo Usui looked at the young man and thought that the real master had appeared after all, and he was so young.

At first he thought it was an old monster, but now he suddenly saw a young man, and he felt even more uneasy.

He is too young to have such strength, and to have such momentum as soon as he appears on the stage... There is a high probability that he is not from Yingzhou, but from Daxia!

The three people in Inahayahui looked at each other and exchanged glances. If they were Daxia people, they would have to leave it to the shogunate to deal with it. They would not dare to provoke this true dragon crossing the sea.

Even Shiromine Naomi couldn't recognize who the other person was because he looked very young and had a completely different temperament from her husband. It wasn't until the other person came to sit next to her that she suddenly came back to her senses and thought to herself. Sir, has he changed his identity?

She had no time to ask, and she didn't dare to ask.

After Bai Yu took his seat, he glanced around calmly and said, "The Bai Feng group is responsible for running the industry for me. This part of the industry has also been destroyed by your Dazao Society. I have suffered heavy losses, so I am qualified to participate in this meeting." of."

"is there a problem?"

He waited for questions.

But no one asked questions.

Above the scene, one is the shogunate and the other is the leader of the Inahaya Association. They are both local big shots in Yingzhou. Most people who meet them are like fish lying on the chopping board waiting to be dissected.

But after they met Bai Yu, their identities changed. After the halo around them suddenly dissipated, they became no different from ordinary people. After meeting the young man's eyes, they all began to dodge subconsciously... because Feeling in awe.

A real big shot doesn't need anyone behind him to wave flags and shout out to build momentum. Just by appearing on the stage, he should amaze the whole audience and gain a suitable height for him in everyone's field of vision. Only a fool like the Urban Dragon King would deliberately run away dressed in street stall goods to be looked down upon by others. The forbearance and pretense.

The big shot of the shogunate was hiding behind the curtain. Although he also felt the pressure, it was lighter and he regained consciousness faster. Then he felt a little angry and unhappy, as if his dignity and majesty were offended by a simple look from the other party. , but he didn't notice that he subconsciously changed his sitting posture, from a relaxed posture to clasping his fingers, like an interviewer racking his brains during the test.

Seeing that no one asked questions, Bai Yu showed a dull look in his eyes.

Then he threw out the plastic bag in his hand and threw it on the table.

"I just went out to do something. I came a little late. I also brought a gift for everyone in the Inahaya party."

The plastic bag hit the table, making a solid sound.

It seemed like some spherical object was rolling inside.

Bai Yu said: "Please open it and take a look."

Kozaburo Usui stared at the plastic bag and asked in a dry voice: "What is this."

Bai Yu said: "A small gift."

Kosaburo Usui noticed the teasing and ridicule in the other person's eyes, and immediately opened the seal of the bag unhappily: "I see what the hell are you doing - ah!"

Halfway through the last word it broke into a sharp rising pitch, like a scorpion sting.

Bo Jing suddenly let go of his hand, and the contents of the plastic bag fell on the table, rolling all the way to the front of the curtain.

The big shot of the shogunate took a look through the curtain and stood up immediately, the legs of the chair sliding on the wooden boards making a sharp squeaking sound.

It was a head.

He has a smooth head, rings on his ears, dark skin, and wide eyes.

Tianzhu monk.

Of course, Kosaburo Hakui recognized this Tianzhu monk. He disappeared after escaping yesterday. He didn't even plan to say hello. He seemed to be planning to leave overnight!

But he died!

died--!

This is the Brahmin of the fourth realm!

"You actually killed someone, you actually killed him!" Gusaburo Bojing said angrily: "You actually dare to kill the missionary monk in Tianzhu! You are going to be in disaster!"

There was also a bit of joy in the anger.

It would be a good thing if Tianzhu people were also involved!

The big shot in the shogunate behind the curtain also said in a cold voice with a straight face: "This matter really needs to be thoroughly investigated. You'd better give me an explanation, Daxia people, otherwise you will face permanent deportation!"

"Don't worry Hongwen."

The young man watched the head roll back and flicked it with his finger. It was immediately surrounded by fire and burned to ashes in just a few seconds.

"Have I not introduced myself yet?"

He faced both of them, his voice calm.

Every word that followed was like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of everyone present, and every word was like thunder and thunder.

"My name is Bai Yu, and my courtesy name is Yu Jing."

"The new Daxia Jiaoyang is the current head of Shence Palace."

"The wandering swordsman Amamiya Mahiru is my fiancée, and I came here specifically for her."

After a slight pause, he added an unnecessary addition.

"correct……"

"My grandfather is called Bai Potian."
