Swallow Back

Probably they were originally from the "hard-liners", but because they have not been involved deeply, and the blood debt in their hands is very weak, it seems excusable.

Hijikata Shishiro initiated the suppression and purged many senior members, and Okita Sougo presided over the rectification of the chaos, and a large number of radical offenders were punished... Too many middle-level cadres have died, if we continue to pursue , the Shinsengumi is in danger of structural collapse.

Considering the future survival and development of the organization, it has to be dealt with "the law does not blame the public".

However, those who have saved a life still have strong resistance in their hearts, so they may not be grateful for this and accept the command of the "traditional school" again.

Of course, there are also a small number of people who immediately showed a gesture of repentance and vowed to bid farewell to past mistakes.But these guys make people feel that their positions are too unsteady, and they can only be classified as "grass on the wall".

"As for the next situation of the Shinsengumi, everyone should have no objection!"

Okita Sougo said this for the third time.

His voice became higher and higher, his expression became more and more serious, and his eyes directly swept over the faces of those who were still silent.

Even Okita Sougo's hand was already rubbing on the handle of the knife, and it seemed that he might pull out the sharp blade from his waist at any time.

A few who couldn't hold on anymore bent down to show their compliance.

But not all.

There are still some people who are fighting with silence.

At this time, Sougo Okita was in trouble.

He didn't want to really draw the sword, because that would only make the situation more unmanageable, without any positive effect.

But the matter has come to this point, if you don't draw your sword, how can you maintain the situation that you have finally suppressed by force?

The team leader Isao Kondo originally had a certain prestige, but now he has been poisoned by Toshiro Hijikata, and his powerless appearance cannot be respected by the samurai, so he can only move it out as a mascot.

Okita Sougo hesitated for a moment, then turned his gaze to Liuyun who was at the side.

There was a secret desire for help in his eyes.

"call--"

Liu Yun vaguely felt that Okita Sougo could actually solve today's problem by himself, but he was just testing it out on purpose.

But at this moment, you might as well go with the flow and cooperate with him in the performance without seeing it.

So Liu Yun opened his mouth slowly, let out a mouthful of turbid air, and suddenly shouted vigorously: "The words are over, who is in favor and who is against?"

The loud voice, combined with the sound waves containing supernatural powers, spread violently in an instant, like a turbulent wave crashing on the shore, and the waves are churning.

Everyone present felt that a huge force was coming.

This is a new method of displaying one's own strength that Liu Yun found out after he fought Takeda Shingen and Honganji Xianru in Kyoto last time, and gained understanding from the opponent's moves, combined with the supernatural powers in his body, and found out without a teacher.

Kondo Isao, the leader of the Shinsen group, was already in a bad situation, and it was even worse at this moment. He almost vomited blood. Fortunately, he was sitting behind Liuyun and did not receive much impact.

Okita Sougo's strength and character are both extremely strong, but he was too close, facing the sharp edge, staggered and staggered, almost fell to the ground, and his eyes and ears were dimmed for a moment.

The rest of the people present at the scene were all stunned by the shock.

Of the last four people who were stubbornly refusing to give in just now, two of them couldn't bear the invisible spiritual attack, and finally spoke soft words.The other two were forced to kneel on the ground and had to be unable to get up.

Liuyun's angry shout may be named after the "lion's roar" in martial arts novels. It combines the dual power of the physical sound wave and the illusory spirit, and it is invincible wherever it reaches.

Of course, the consumption is also a lot.

But worth it.

Now the middle-level cadres of the Shinsengumi are more and more in awe of Mr. "Kojiro Manshiya", who has just joined the organization, and regard him as a god.

Okita Sougo was stunned for a short while, and put on a look of ecstasy and admiration, half flattering and half flattering, and said: "Mr. Kojiro really deserves it! The Shinsengumi depends on you in the future..."

Kondo Isao, leaning on the cushion and leaning on the mat, also managed to concentrate and said: "I'm afraid I can no longer lead everyone. The purpose of the Shinsengumi is to bring Ichikomune back into the right path. I hope Mr. Kojiro can inherit it."

The members of the audience did not have any doubts about this remark with the intention of asking Gu Gu.

Especially Ms. Igawa's suspected fiancé, Kosuke Sawagi, stood up very excitedly, shouting loudly like a fanatic: "The Shinsengumi will definitely achieve their long-cherished wish under the leadership of Mr. Kojiro!"

Even Liu Yun felt that it was a bit hypocritical to say "I'm not being modest, I'd better hire someone else wise" at this time.

It is reasonable to read those two lines honestly.

But at this time, suddenly there was a cry of "quack - quack -" over the sea.

Following the sound, Liu Yun could see a few small black spots moving in the sky.

It seems familiar, but I don't know what it is.

Sougo Okita suddenly looked a little more serious: "Eh? Those monks of the Ichiko sect, are they loyal and willing to send Yatengu? It is estimated that the hardliners caused bloody incidents in various parts of Long Island a few days ago, which attracted the other party to get serious. ……"1

Only then did Liuyun remember, nodded and said, "I have seen Yatengu from Enryaku Temple in Mount Hiei. I heard that the holy monk Jianzhen took back this clan and tamed it as the eyes and ears of Buddhism."

"Well——" Okita Sougo explained: "Yes. The Tendai Sect of Enryaku Temple in Hiei Mountain, as the direct descendant of Jianzhen, has inherited the most inheritance, but it has long been corrupted and depraved. But it’s not the same with the Changdao Yizongzong. The things they inherited are well maintained, so it’s not so easy to deal with..."

Immediately afterwards, the swift and vigilant boatmen and water ghosts came to report that dozens of medium-sized and larger ships had appeared on the nearby sea, and it might be that Changdao Yixiangzong was searching wantonly.

It's lively now.

It seems that the civil strife in the Shinsengumi has just ended, and foreign enemies are ushering in a large-scale invasion.

Team leader Isao Kondo complained feebly: "That's why it is said that Fourteen's 'hardliners' ideas will not work at all. If they raise their swords against ordinary believers, it will not only tarnish the Shinsengumi's reputation, but also... Attracted a strong attack from Nagashima Izumomune. Now... I am afraid I have to move the base, and it will be very troublesome to face the surveillance of Aya Tengu..." 1

"Don't worry, leader of the orangutan group." Okita Sougo interrupted the leader's words not very politely: "We had this kind of experience four years ago, didn't we survive smoothly?"

"At that time, the strength of the Shinsengumi hadn't been damaged..." a cadre complained quietly.

After hearing this, Sougo Okita pointed to Liu Yun and retorted: "Although something happened in the past few days, Mr. Kojiro's joining is completely enough to make up for it!"

This statement is still undisputed.

Chapter 218 The Big Octopus of Yixiangzong

The Shinsengumi used a large Ataka ship as their base, purely for safety reasons.

After all, their opponents are very powerful and cunning, and it is difficult for them to develop rapidly because of their policy.

Normally, the sea route naturally plays the role of isolation and investigation. Occasionally, when encountering a situation of being surrounded by the enemy army, it is very convenient to sail in and turn in in time. This is a unique advantage.

Even if it is like now, there are a few Yatengu patrolling and tracking in the sky, and dozens of ships of all sizes approaching in the sea, it is not scary.

Just leave in time.

"Going south at full speed, there is no need to stop until Bird Island!"

Okita Sougo gave an order, and all the watermen rushed to work, turning the rudder, hoisting the sails, and paddling the oars.

The internal dispute just now was suppressed by force, which actually affected morale, but in the face of Long Island Yixiangzong's pursuit, everyone put aside the dispute tacitly and worked together.

Even if the principle of conflict between the enemy and ourselves and internal conflict is not spoken, most people still understand it.

The wide and heavy Ataka boat with only one mast cannot effectively use the wind, and can only rely on the power output of the oarsmen to sail in the offshore area.Although some small boats attached to the side are brisk, they have no sails at all, and they are not water vehicles that are conducive to traveling.

Therefore, the speed of the true selection group is naturally not much faster.

Not enough to get rid of the flight tracking of the sky crow tengu.

This is really annoying.

No matter which direction you move, you are completely within the opponent's field of vision, but how can it work?It's a [-]% situation where they can only be beaten passively!

but--

The dozens of ships sent by the enemy Changdao Yizongzong were similar at first glance, like snails chasing a turtle, and there was no tendency to get closer.

From this point of view, there is no need to worry too much.

Anyway, you chase after me, everyone wastes time together, it's just a trip.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes.There are only a few teams in my Zhenxuan team, just flee to the southern island; your Long Island family has always had a big business, and it is impossible to maintain a huge fleet for a long time to play hide-and-seek outside.

So, with Liu Yun's way of thinking, I don't quite understand why the people around me are so worried.

The remaining [-] or [-] cadres of the Zhenxuan Group, each with their subordinates, almost all came to the cabin, some held their swords and guns tightly, and some drew their bows and arrows. They were all ready to fight at any time.

Whether it is the team leader Isao Kondo, who has been tortured by the poison, or Okita Sougo, who is usually lazy and arrogant, they are not calm now.

The two of them, like other Shinsengumi cadres, occasionally glanced at the Yatengu in the sky and the local fleet on the sea, but most of the time, they stared at the depths of the sea.

The depths of the sea?

Liu Yun immediately realized a possibility.

Could it be...

"Mr. Kojiro, you still don't understand. When we were attacked four years ago, the real trouble was not the Yatengu or the fleet, but the monsters manipulated by the monk Ichikomune to make trouble in the deep water."

Just at this moment, Sougo Okita made an explanation, then turned his head, bowed deeply to Liu Yun and said, "That's a big monster that looks like an octopus. There were three of them at that time. It took a lot of effort for dozens of us to come up with it." Kill one and drive away the other two... If there are still three monsters today, I'm afraid I need to ask you to solve at least one alone..."

This time, he did not deliberately show excessive flattery and intimacy, but made a request very solemnly.

Yet there is a strong sense of trust and dependence in the discourse.

"Please...please Mr. Kojiro!"

Kondo Isao, who was supported by the waiter and stood on the side of the boat, also said similar words, with more unwillingness and grief on his face.

Obviously, as the team leader, he is also a powerful samurai as strong as an orangutan, but he is accidentally seduced by the hue of his subordinates (and they are of the same sex), he loses his vigilance, and loses his ability to move because of the poison in his body—— The situation is obviously too embarrassing.

"Ah, rest assured, I will do my best."

Liu Yun, who kept the pseudonym "Kojiro of Wanshiwu", thought in his heart of "running away with the two girls if it doesn't work", and made a vague promise casually.Akiyama Rinko is still in poor condition and Ms. Ikawa is taking care of them, so they all live in the guest room in the cabin.

Kondo Isao, who was supported by the waiter, felt even more painful and lonely when he saw this for some reason.

But Sougo Okita immediately showed a reassuring expression, nodded with a smile and said, "Ah, as long as you make a move, it won't be worse than last time, right?"

The voice had just landed, when suddenly the sea near the stern began to roll violently, and the shaking of the deck became significantly larger.

Then there was a crashing sound, water splashed and danced, and a huge black tentacle quickly climbed up, grabbed the oar hole of the ship's side, and tore it carelessly, breaking the wood pulp and grabbing a piece of broken wood in a few strokes.

Then the second came out and slapped hard on the deck.

The tip and thinnest part of the tentacles is as thick as the waist of an ordinary person, and the length is at least three to five feet. It must belong to a particularly huge giant octopus.The rough and dark skin was covered with salty and bitter sea water, and the muscles underneath were constantly wriggling, disgusting and terrifying.

The uninvited guest was probably lying on the side of the big boat, dragging it hard into the water.

So the hull is now rapidly tilting.

Fortunately, this big ship is very heavy, and its center of gravity is relatively low, so it will not capsize for a while.

At the same time, some things like shrimps, crabs, turtles and fishes - I don't know if they were ordinary creatures or monsters, they were thrown up and landed on the deck one after another.

It seems that this is the octopus-shaped monster that Sougo Okita mentioned.
