How to become stronger without krypton gold

Watching Feicun Jianxin leave under the moonlight, Gu Hexuan didn't intend to follow, he pondered for a while, turned his head to look at Hiko Kiyojuro behind him, and asked softly: "Your Excellency will go tomorrow Can Aoiya in Kyoto help?"

Aoi House is the home of a kind girl, Makimachi, who Kenshin Himura met on the way to Kyoto to find a master. The little girl’s house used to be the Imperial Court Ban, that is, the royal ninja of the general’s family. Kaesong is a good thing for the residents of Edo, avoiding the outbreak of bloody conflicts, but for ninjas like them who take killing as their job, being useless means being abandoned.

Especially among these ninjas, many of them were different from ordinary people in order to complete the work of ninjas. Some of them even had their own skin removed. Under the leadership of Cang Zi, he left Kyoto as a mercenary.

In order to survive, the remaining ninjas who were forced to retire opened a hotel called Aoi House in Kyoto.

Fei Cun Jianxin received a lot of care from the people of Aoi House along the way, but he also knew that the existence of Aoi House might have fallen into the eyes of Shi Zhixiong Zhenzhen, and Shi Zhixiong Zhen would definitely send his men to attack the Aoi House in the future. Not to mention that the girl he misses in his heart is still in the sunflower house, so before leaving, he asks his master to protect the people in the sunflower house after dawn.

If Gu Hexuan hadn't asked for the address of the sunflower house, I am afraid that the idiot master and apprentice would not have remembered the location and hadn't mentioned it.

"Tomorrow, you will definitely go to the Sunflower House to protect the people there, right?" Gu Hexuan asked with a smile, not so much a question, but a definite statement.

"Who knows, maybe I will go." Bigu Qingjuro said insincerely, he looked up at the sky, and when he turned his gaze back, he deliberately avoided the Asakura Leaf King who made him feel a little scary, looking at Gu Hexuan Asked a little curiously, "What are your plans for the future?"

Of course Ma Cangye Wang also noticed his movements, but he didn't care, and still stood beside Gu Hexuan with his hands in his sleeves.

Gu Hexuan smiled and said, "I'm going to Edo to see the current emperor and the current cabinet members."

"Cabinet?" Hiko Seijuro is actually not very sure what the so-called cabinet is. As a traditional Japanese, he has not received any Western-style education, but even so he can probably understand the current system. From this point He said that he was much more advanced than many progressives, "You mean the group of people who are in charge of the government now? But what do you want them to do?"

"Actually, you are not very sure, even if you are sure that your disciple will be able to defeat that Zhi Zhixiong, you are still not sure what kind of influence he has brought to this government." Gu Hexuan turned his head Looking into the distance, "Whether it's good or bad, if I can't see it with my own eyes, I can't rest assured."

"...You're right." Kiyojuro Bigu sighed, raised the jug and took a sip and said, "This kind of thing is indeed much more serious than the problem of a mere executioner."

He paused, took a sip of his wine and asked again: "What if things don't go as expected?"

"Development in this world is almost always unsatisfactory." Gu Hexuan smiled, his expression was very flat, "So if things get out of hand, I can only use the last resort, what a pity ..."

A last… resort?

Hiko Seijuro's back shivered for a while, he subconsciously didn't ask what the last resort was, he just watched the other party say goodbye to him and then left.

After a while, he drank all the wine in the flagon in a bit of depression, turned around and locked the door, and walked towards the direction of Kyoto. Since he couldn't find someone here who could make him angry, Then he will go to Kyoto to find the trouble with those guys.

Coming out of Kyoto, the situation in Edo seems to be much better than in Kyoto. Compared with the air in Kyoto, which seems to be filled with a breath of explosiveness, the situation in Edo is much calmer. It is obvious that the situation between the top floors The confrontation did not affect the lives of the people below. No, what must be said has had an impact. Not long ago, Okubo Toshimichi was killed, and now you can see all kinds of security personnel walking around in the streets of Edo , The pedestrians on the street also looked panicked while walking.

Gu Hexuan didn't pay attention to what happened to the people over there, he walked straight towards the place where the National Assembly Hall will be built in the future, and the people around along the way seemed like they had never seen him, like ghosts.

Although the National Assembly Hall has not yet been built, the current cabinet already has clues to get together for meetings, but the location of Gu Hexuan is still uncertain, so he came here specially to take advantage of the connection between this place and the Japanese cabinet It's good to find them out.

In the past, Gu Hexuan probably could only ask Ye Wang for divination, but now, he can use correlation, which sounds unreasonable, to find people from strange places .

Gu Hexuan stood at the place where they had a meeting, folded his arms and listened to their discussion, and the topic, as he had expected at first, went in the direction of militarism forever.

When it was completely dark, Gu Hexuan shook his head helplessly and came out. Ye Wang didn't go in from the beginning, I'm afraid he already knew what the people inside were thinking from the very beginning, "Really? ...very regrettable..."

Gu Hexuan turned his head and looked at the house behind his eyes, as if he was talking to King Ma Cang Ye or just talking to himself, "Why do people like to make such mistakes? Obviously, they are still using morality to make mistakes. In the name of asking that child from Fei Village to hunt down an executioner, but here I am making a plan that is completely unethical..."

"Because this is human beings." Ye Wang, who was standing aside, said calmly, "There is nothing strange about such things, right? For them, only interests are the most real, morality, that is what!"

Gu Hexuan shook his head helplessly, "In this way, there is only one thing I can do."

He turned around and looked at the mansion that suddenly burst into flames, "I remember Mr. Feicun said that when they collapsed, what they did was exactly the action of Tianzhu, so let them do it now." Well, Heavenly Execution..."

After a long time, people outside discovered that a mansion here had been engulfed in raging flames. Earlier, the exclamations, screams, and screams here seemed to be blocked outside, and no one noticed it at all. .They hurriedly ran to call the firefighters, but the firefighters came too late. The flames burning here were extremely terrible. Everything was swallowed up by the flames, not only the countless lives, but also Even houses, buildings, and everything else, as long as they were built on this land, were all swallowed up by the flames, leaving nothing behind, and everything turned into ashes, making people even go It is impossible to confirm the identity of the deceased here.

"How could this be..." Just when everyone was shocked, another thing that made them feel deeply afraid happened, "Hey, look over there, Edo Castle!"

Everyone looked in that direction in shock, and saw the former residence of the general, and now the Emperor's Palace, Edo Castle, started to burn from the location of the castle tower!

"Hurry up and put out the fire!!!"

A group of people made a panicked sound, and stumbled towards the location of the castle tower. Unlike the place where the cabinet met before, the fire of the castle tower was so dazzling that everyone in Edo could clearly see it.

The firefighters from all over Edo gathered immediately, but it didn't help. When water was poured on the flames, it didn't stop the flames at all. What made outsiders even more fearful was that, This place has been burnt down like this, but there seems to be no one in the city, no sound of calling for help is heard, and no one can be seen. People seem to be asleep inside, regardless of the calls from outside the city. How loud it is.

What's even more frightening is that after the flames burned for most of the day, two large characters formed by flames appeared above the burning Edo Castle - Tianzhu.

This kind of thing is unheard of. Although there are many insightful people asking whether it is a special trick, something that even challenges their world view has appeared. The fire in Edo Castle has been burning for three full days without any sign of extinguishing.

"Are you kidding me..." Everyone can see that the blazing flame is real, but why...why the flame won't go out! ?

This unbelievable incident spread across most of Japan at the fastest speed, and Kenshin, who was far away in Kyoto and had just finished fighting with Comrade Shio, heard about it as soon as he woke up.

"How could such a thing happen?" Several partners in the capital said they couldn't understand it at all, but when Himura Kenshin saw his master tilting his head unnaturally, he suddenly felt that he knew something ...

"Master... isn't this true?" When only Kenshin and Hiko Seijuro were in the room, Kenshin lowered his voice in disbelief and asked the elders around him.

"I don't know." Bigu Qingjuro shook his head sincerely, "But if there is anyone in this world who can do such a thing... probably only those two people."

"Why? Why did they do such a thing?!" Jian Xin asked in a very puzzled manner.

"Even if you ask me such a question..." Hiko Seijuro scratched his head vigorously, his face also had a depressed expression.

"That's the emperor! What are those two people thinking! Why did they attack the emperor's residence!" Kenshin was going crazy, he was scratching his head, he couldn't believe that such a thing would happen, " Those two people are not the third generation..."

Jian Xin stopped halfway through his speech, and said with a bewildered expression on his face, "Ah yes...those two people...are old acquaintances of the third generation..."

Now there is really no need to ask why. People who lived more than 200 years ago are still human?If they are not human anymore, is there any point in judging each other by human standards?

"But why..." Kenshin felt that the incomprehensible thing was here, "Why did you attack Edo Castle? Killing the emperor is a serious crime! And... Tianzhu..."

His hands were trembling, and the words "Tianzhu" almost ran through his career as an executioner. The appearance of these two words in this place and on this occasion seemed to be satirizing the efforts of reformers like them in the past few years.

"I think those two words should not be what you think." Bigu Qingjuro shook his head when he heard this, and then showed a suspicious look, "Could those two words be just literal meaning?"

"Huh?" Jian Xin was stunned, "Master, what do you mean?"

"I can't tell. Anyway, get well soon, and then we'll go to Edo together." Kiyojuro Hiko also wanted to know what they were doing, so he had to say this.

"I know!" Jian Xin punched the ground forcefully, "Damn it!"

Unlike Kenshin, who is still recovering here, on the other side, Saitoichi, who is still not in good health after a great battle, hastily rushed to the hospital after receiving the secret order from Edo. Busily rushed towards Edo.

"So, what does the fire have to do with a policeman like me...and it's such an unnatural fire..." Saito said this, but he ran fast, "Anyway, let's go and see if it's Zhi It was caused by the black oil that Zhixiong discovered."

When Saito arrived in Edo, what shocked him was not only the fire in Edo Castle, but also a more troublesome thing for him than the emperor being burned to death.

Both his immediate boss and his immediate boss's boss were burned to death not long ago, in a fire that didn't know what happened. The flames burned almost all the members of the cabinet to ashes, not even a single bone The rest, "This is good, the police system is completely paralyzed..."

Saitoichi felt that he really needed to thank the archives system re-established after the Meiji Restoration, otherwise it would be very difficult for him, a former member of the Shinsengumi, and a post-secret policeman to prove his identity after his boss's boss was wiped out.

"What's the matter with the flame over there?" Saito asked a trustworthy colleague, and when the opposite colleague mentioned this matter, his face was very ugly, "It's very weird, I recommend you to go and see for yourself, and... ...Go and see, don't touch that fire casually... I saw a person burnt to nothing in the flames, and there was nothing left..."

"By the flame..." The adjective made Saitoichi easily recall that his boss was also burned to ashes by the flame, "I know, I will be careful."

He first went to look at the place where his boss was burned to death, and sure enough, it was completely burned, and he couldn't even collect any ashes. If it wasn't for the fact that there was a fence around the outside that prohibits entry, I'm afraid he would never have thought of it. It used to be a luxurious mansion.

As soon as Saito left here, he went straight to Edo Castle. The fire in Edo Castle was still burning. The two big characters of Tianzhu formed by the huge flames in the sky had already made the people of Edo panic. People even I began to worry about whether I offended God because of the reform.

Saitoichi, as a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, has little interest in this argument, but the weird fire in front of him really makes him feel that something is wrong. Across the huge firebreak, Saitoichi can feel the rushing fire. There was a huge heat wave, but the flame seemed to be imprisoned in Edo City, and it didn't mean to spread out at all.

"Tsk, that's why I hate this abnormal and unnatural phenomenon!" Saito cursed, and after confirming that it was indeed a real flame and not something else, he turned and walked away.

Gu Hexuan stood on the top of the castle tower. This is the place where the flames burned the most. The air was distorted due to the flames. People outside could not see the real appearance of this place at all.

"Your Excellency, what exactly do you want to do!?" The man who was not imprisoned in any way, and even had been provided with food and drink for the past two days, saw Gu Hexuan walking towards him, and suddenly cried out in panic Get up, "Who the hell are you?"

"Based on your understanding, it can be regarded as a god or a monster." Gu Hexuan didn't take it seriously. In front of this person, he didn't mean that he was just an onmyoji. Xuan all have different attitudes, especially such a man.

"Don't you claim that the bloodline is passed down to the Great God of Amaterasu?" Gu Hexuan turned his head and looked at the other people in the room. They were all as unscathed as this man and looked panic-stricken. Then Gu Hexuan continued with satisfaction , "Since it is the bloodline passed down to the gods, then even if you pass through such a flame, it will be fine, right?"

His words reminded everyone present of how their father, the emperor, was burned to ashes by flames in front of them, and they trembled with fear.

"Please don't get me wrong, I didn't intend to do anything to you, or rather..." Gu Hexuan glanced at them, "You don't need me to do anything. And if I can, I don't want to touch them at all. Anything to do with politics."

What Gu Hexuan said was all the truth, but it was obvious that none of the people present believed what he meant, and as if they had made an appointment, Qiqi took a step back, and only one child in the crowd did not step back. In the eyes of others, I'm afraid he was frightened stupid, his mother quickly dragged him behind after finding out.Gu Hexuan was originally suspended at a slightly higher position, and did not completely fall to the ground. He was condescending and saw this scene very clearly.

Gu Hexuan fell to the ground and walked towards the boy who didn't back down. The place he passed was like Moses divided the sea, and everyone around him avoided Gu Hexuan. , his mother had been holding him all the way and wanted to retreat to the back. The poor woman's face was full of tears but she didn't dare to cry too loudly.

Gu Hexuan wasn't surprised by her reaction, after all, in their eyes, he was probably the most terrifying demon in the world, even though he didn't actually do anything to these people, just killing the emperor and imprisoning them Members of the emperor's family are sinful enough, not to mention that he can use completely incredible tricks to attract flames that can burn everything. Only monsters or gods can do such things.

Gu Hexuan squatted down and looked at the young man. When the young man saw himself walking towards him, his expression was also very panicked, but he was not as panicked as his mother was, as if he was going to faint at any moment. Gu Hexuan, who came over, reached out and shook off his mother's hands, and walked towards her, "What do you want to do?"

His expression was very calm, not at all like what a child of this age should look like now, "You locked us here, but didn't kill us, it must be because we are still useful to you, do you think What to do? What do you want us to do for you?"

Gu Hexuan nodded, "What a clever boy, but before answering your question, I have a question to ask you."

"What do you think should be done to govern the country?"

The fire in Edo Castle was ignited without warning, and then extinguished without warning. Just when the people in Edo didn't know what to do about the inexplicably ignited fire, the fire suddenly went out.

Kenshin and Hiko Kiyojuro who ran back quickly encountered the situation where the fire suddenly went out, which made the two swordsmen a little unbearable, and what shocked the whole Edo was that after such a fire, Suddenly, the gate of Edo Castle was opened just like that. The gate that everyone thought had been burnt to ashes was pushed open by a few waiters.

So those who have been working hard to rescue people outside were surprised to find that in the entire Edo Castle, except for the current emperor, other people were unscathed and there were no problems, except that most of the castle was burned down.

Recently, the upper echelons of Japan are in complete chaos. The emperor and cabinet members were all burned to ashes by the fire from the sky. Even with the centralization of power during the Meiji Restoration, people with real power in various places continued to emerge like weeds after the rain. Come on, seeing that the country seems to be returning to the previous situation, the new emperor, the 13-year-old Taisho Emperor, came to the throne, and immediately formed a new cabinet and suppressed the emerging signs of instability everywhere.

The outstanding performance of Emperor Taisho immediately stabilized the unstable country. People around him praised him wildly, his brothers and relatives were afraid of him, and even his mother who loved him deeply did not dare to approach him easily. Only he himself knew what he got from the man who could draw fire from the sky, but the price he had to pay for it was negligible-let Japan develop peacefully and not follow his father's old way of arms.

Emperor Taisho didn't understand until he was about to die why there was such a person in this world who came out of nowhere just to let his country take a peaceful path.

And the person he was curious about was currently teaching some people on the vast continent separated by a sea.
