I thought it was be but it turned out to be he

Qianhe sat on his knees with two letters in his hand, anxious.

Seeing Hijikata coming in, he quickly got up to greet him, "Mr. Hijikata, you are finally here! Do you know where Mr. Chang went? Can you let her come back right away?"

"what happened?"

Qianhe briefly explained the ins and outs of the matter, "The thing is like this. A few days ago, a person named Junior General sent a letter to Mr. Chang. I wanted to wait for Mr. Chang to come back before handing it over to her. I care, but this person sent another letter early this morning."

As she spoke, she handed both letters to him to read.

Hijikata Toshizo didn't want to open it to see the contents, after all, it was someone else's privacy, but found that the seal on the back of the second letter was the Tokugawa family crest known to everyone in the world.

He opened it with a dignified face, and there was only one meaning mixed in the greeting: I want to see you.

"I know the matter, I will send someone to inform her, you go back first."

Although Qianhe was still worried, he could only go back and wait for the news.

Tufang hurried back to the room. Future was feeling bored and helped him wipe the two sabers. He checked the letter before taking it out, "Do you know a man named Xiaojiang?"

Future was very surprised why he suddenly asked this, but nodded honestly.

"Do you know who he is?"

"That idiot? It's the General."

Hearing that she knew the young general's true identity and dared to call him an idiot, Hijikata's expression darkened as the deputy head of the pro-shogunate Shinsengumi, "How did you and the general know each other?"

"I met by chance when I went to Edo to discuss business last year. I said Master Matsudaira brought him out, but I didn't see Master Matsudaira. I think he just escaped by himself."

Tu Fang closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the chill in his eyes had been subdued, "The general wants to see you, so I want you to see him."

Under his pressure, Future could only reluctantly put down the knife in his hand, and touched the knife twice before putting it back into the sheath.

Seeing her tidying herself up, Tufang suddenly asked, "How are you going? The wound hasn't healed in such a short time, can you call me a sedan chair?"

She shook her head and half-jokingly said, "No, I'll let my master take me there."

"Owner?"

"Shuten-douji, you've seen it before."

It's okay not to mention his name, but as soon as he is mentioned, the temperature in the room drops sharply, so I won't dawdle in the future, and leave quickly through the back door.

Nijo Castle is surrounded by stone walls and moats, and the eaves and cornices of each palace are inlaid with pure gold leaf, showing the wealth and luxury of the Tokugawa family.

Standing in front of one of the palace gates in the future, neither entering nor leaving.Everything was to be blamed on Jiu Tun-douji, who clearly asked him to send her to the gate of the city, but he took her directly to the gate of the general's palace, trespassing on the palace would result in beheading.

"..." Things had already happened, and after hesitating for a while in the future, he could only accept the reality, so he raised his fingers and knocked on the door.

There was a doorway in the room soon.

After getting permission, Future opened the door and went in. A young man with a curly hair was sitting at the table reading a book, and from time to time he picked up a pen to write down something in the notebook next to him.

He obviously heard the sound of the door opening, but he didn't see anyone coming to salute for a long time. He raised his head subconsciously, and the person he had been thinking about was the person he had been thinking about day and night. His eyes lit up, and he quickly put down the pen in his hand, and invited her to sit down, " Master, you are here, sit here."

I wanted to ask someone to prepare tea, but I was afraid that others would disturb their solitude, but as a general, I made tea for her myself, "Why did you arrive so soon? No one made things difficult for you when you came in, right?"

Although he had already given orders, he was still afraid of accidents.

Future just smiled, and thanks to Jiu Tun Tongzi, he didn't meet anyone along the way.

"Aren't you surprised? It's about me being the Great General Zhengyi."

"Because I knew it a long time ago." Future pointed to the family crest on his clothes, "It was exposed from the very beginning, so why are you talking about a young general? He is the general's general."

"I obviously thought I was covering it up very well. It has been almost a year since I left that day. I still remember Master's earnest teachings until now. It's just that at that time Master suddenly left without saying goodbye, and I sent someone to I searched all over Edo but couldn't find you, and then I heard that you run a knife shop in Kyoto. I originally wanted to visit, but I have been dragged by official duties until now, and now I have to ask Master to come personally."

The future has been really boring recently, and the earth party locked her in the room and didn't allow her to leave even a single step. Even going to the bathroom had to be approved by him, "No, it's better to say that your letter is a savior instead."

"Is that so? That's great, I'm not hated by Master. By the way, Master, you are so proficient in making swords, so have you ever thought about involving firearms, artillery or shipbuilding?"

"Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Ever since I witnessed Western-style artillery firing and gun array military exercises, I have deeply realized that swordsmanship is no longer suitable for the needs of today's group combat. Should I consider giving up swordsmanship...but..."

Speaking of this, Tokugawa Momo's expression darkened, with a hint of bitterness, "It's nothing, just pretend that I didn't ask anything."

Reflecting his wry smile, something flashed in Mirai's eyes, the person in front of him, like the people in the Shinsengumi, is a poor person played by this era.

Tokugawa Momohara wanted to take Mirai around the city to get to know his sister, but was rejected on the grounds of rain.

Before leaving, Tokugawa Momo stopped him, and he stopped for a long time before making up his mind to say what was in his heart, "Master, no, in the future, stay here."

The future sounded a little surprised, and she also understood the deeper meaning of this sentence, but she still pretended not to understand what he meant, and waved her hand with a smile, "Sorry, General, I have something to do, so I will step back first. "

Mirai opened the umbrella and left, and disappeared from Tokugawa Momo's vision not long after.

Looking at the end of the road where she left, Tokugawa Momo had mixed feelings in his heart. Although it was regrettable, it was only regrettable.

The author has something to say:

Regarding Jiamao and Maomao, there is no typo in the text. The heroine always thought he was Jiamao, but in fact he was Mengmeng Maomao
