[Gintama] The Story of Me and Curly Yaksha

My Story with Curly Yaksha 53

After the vacation, weaving returned to busy work.

After a few months, Zhiyi reappeared at the meeting of the shogunate. Before being attacked to avoid the limelight, she did not show up for the time being. Now that the Hyakki is reopened, she also continues to appear at the meeting with the general as Ruo Nianji.

Under her guidance, the Qiao faction and the Guogong faction clashed, and now they are temporarily cooperating with Tokugawa to bring down the old fox.

Of course, this is also temporary. After all, Tokugawa and Hitohashi are the current general and the other is the most likely general candidate. The current cooperation is only because they have a common enemy.

Politics is a game of balance. As long as the Duke is still in power, as long as this situation continues for a while, the political situation will be temporarily stable during this period.Weaving clothes can breathe a sigh of relief for the time being, it is best to plan something else during this relatively stable time.

Now is not the time to get rid of the old fox Ding Ding, more planning is needed.

After a few days of not working, the affairs of the Hundred Ghosts have accumulated a lot. Although the general has shared some of them, some intelligence affairs are not so easy to take over, and we still have to follow up by ourselves.

Zhiyi finished reading the report submitted by the latest spies, and suddenly thought of something, and asked Kimura, "Speaking of which, I asked you to find ninjas from the former imperial family to join. How is the progress now?"

Kimura replied, "There was a female ninja named Sarutobi who came here before. You should have introduced her. I think she has pretty good abilities. Later, when she found out that the leader here is you, she was very angry and left, saying What 'how could I work under the hands of a rival! That woman dared to fool me!'”

Zhiyi shook his head dumbfounded, and Kimura went on to say: "I found other ninjas from the Imperial Court through her. Most of them are willing to continue to assist the general, but they are not willing to join Hyakki, hoping to restore the 'Royal Court'. Fanzhong' name. And they seem to have a recognized leader, saying that unless that leader comes back, they will not join."

Speaking of this, Kimura looked at Zhiyi jokingly, "It seems that they dislike you as the leader, Hayasaka."

Zhiyi didn't care either, "I expected this result a long time ago, I just value the cohesion and loyalty of their royal family, such people are more suitable to be the general's guards than us."

"Leave it for now, I can't convince them, let Tokugawa-kun go and communicate with them in person." Zhiyi continued to look down at the document, "Their leader is from the Hattori family of the three famous Iga masters." The current leader, Hattori Quanzo, is also the leader of the former imperial family, and they and the general have known each other since they were young, so they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts."

"One is the ninja leader and the other is a high-ranking general. This combination is really strange." Kimura couldn't help but said, and he glanced at Zhiyi who was reading the document.Speaking of which, this woman was once the princess of the domain, and should have been pampered, but now she is guiding the work of assassins like them. It can only be said that fate is really amazing.

"Speaking of which, Hayasaka, your boyfriend seems to be a patriot, or the famous White Yaksha, who is very powerful. Don't you plan to let him join?" Kimura said suddenly. At first he thought the other party was an ordinary person. Afterwards, I realized that my leader's curly-haired boyfriend has a lot of background, but it's true if you think about it carefully. How can ordinary people manage a woman like Hayasaka Ori? Obviously, it is not ordinary people who can make her so determined.

Former warriors with lofty ideals are not a great status, they will absorb all kinds of ghosts, whether they are down-and-out warriors or former assassins, and absorb all kinds of dangerous elements, so they are called "hundred ghosts".

When mentioning Yin, it seemed as if he had stepped on her. Zhi Yi frowned slightly, and looked up from the document, "Why are you investigating this?"

"It's just gossip." Kimura shrugged.

"Don't mention it now, I won't let him join." Zhiyi lowered his head again, his tone a bit cold.

"Why not? You haven't told him about us, have you?" Kimura looked at her and said in surprise, "I used to think that you didn't tell him because he was an ordinary person, but since he was once a patriot If you tell him about the Hyakki, you won’t scare him. I didn’t know until now that he was the White Yaksha Sakata Gintoshi, when you sneaked in because of Yoshida Shoyo. Daoist of Heaven, now that you think about it, not everything you do is for..."

"Stop it!" Zhiyi interrupted him forcefully. Her voice was not loud, but there was a boundless chill. She obviously did not possess any force, but such a tone revealed that her majesty convinced the assassins under her banner.She stood up and calmed down a little, "It's about time, send me to the shogunate for a meeting."

Kimura looked at her, he has a deeper relationship with Zhiyi than others, so he understands her better, and knows that she can carry everything she likes on her shoulders.He said calmly, "We assassins are not working by your side for any country, but just to protect you, a young lady who has no power to fight except for conspiracy and tricks. No matter what the purpose is, you are liberating to us The people who killed us killing machines. Only I know about it, all you did was the guy in the basement research room of the terminal tower, what can't you say?"

Kimura thought that it all started with that man named Yoshida Shoyo, who trained three disciples who were capable of fighting against barbarians. He was once the leader of their Amaterasu Institute, "Xu", because of him, the weaving was implicated. Come in, and it is precisely because of this that weaving will liberate them, the assassins of the Heavenly Daoists.

Whether it is the last three fighters who fought against barbarians, or Hayasaka Ori, or Kimura, or the assassin who used to be Tianzhaoyuan, or even the high-ranking shogunate who knew the existence of the void, the heavenly people who sought the power of Altana, the fate of everyone All were involved by that man named Yoshida Shoyo.

That man is like an angel and a devil, as long as anyone who sees him, the future will be changed.

Kimura looked at him, "You are planning more dangerous things, I don't want you to play with fire. You tell him everything, and he will be happy to fight for you. Hayasaka, although you are indeed planning a plan. But you You are too fragile, how many times have you been on the verge of death in the past eight years? During this period of time, we feel very at ease when you live in the house of masters, and if they come to protect you, we will feel more at ease."

He expressed his sincere thoughts, and it can be seen that Kimura not only regards Zhiyi as a leader, but also a friend, and appreciates her talent, so he cares about her so much.

Zhiyi obviously understood his concern for her. She looked at Kimura, calmed down a little, and finally sighed, "It's not that simple."

She smiled wryly, "What right do I have to get involved in this matter?"

"Yoshida Songyang is their most important teacher, but he is not someone important to me. I was not qualified to meddle in their affairs. But things are not so simple now. They were coerced by the Heavenly Daoists back then. Saving his companions personally killed Songyang, and they parted ways after that incident. It is precisely because of this that Takasugi has become the dangerous ex-barbarian he is now."

"Kimura, do you think if I tell them all the truth, I can heal their wounds?" Zhiyi looked at him with sad eyes, her temperament was weak, and when she showed such worried eyes, she would look very worried. cute

"Hayasaka..."

"Kimura, I know that you are investigating the three disciples of the Matsushita private school recently. I also know that you have no malicious intentions. You treat me as a friend and you care about me. I am very grateful."

"Even I don't know what will happen if this thing develops, whether it will really bring good changes to them, I don't know. But all I can do is move forward. He is living in Kabukicho now. Yes, this is enough, there is no need to involve him."

"I want him to be happy, that's the only thing I can do. I can do whatever it takes."

Zhiyi gave up her dream of being an ordinary woman's flower shop for this agreement, and voluntarily threw herself into the abyss of struggle, as if fighting desperately alone in the dark,

At this point, Kimura couldn't say anything more.

"Well, since you don't want to say it, I can't force you. But what are you going to do about Takasugi?" He said compromised, talking about another thing, "Recently there are reports that Takasugi has started to act. He deals with various forces in the universe, or at the top of the shogunate."

"He is also a disciple of Yoshida Shoyo. If he really plans to kill this time, what are you going to do?"

-

In the afternoon, Zhiyi had a meeting in the shogunate. This time it was not a high-level meeting, but a meeting between the armed forces within the shogunate.There is no other reason, because the general will go out to visit other planets in a few days to discuss how to arrange the guard work.

As a general, Ruo Nianzhi's weaving clothes will of course also be present. Considering the balance of forces of all parties, the general's visit will be accompanied by some people from the police station and Jianhui team on board the ship.The Zhenxuan Group will not participate. Recently, they are working on a big case about the people who fight against the barbarians.

When attending the meeting in the castle tower, Zhiyi would wear the twelve singles that only noble ladies from the public house would wear. In fact, she is indeed a genuine noble lady.Because after all, they are in the imperial court, even if the clothes are very complicated and heavy, court clothes must be worn in terms of etiquette.

The Hayasaka Ori in Twelve Singles is so beautiful that it is a bit foul, like a classical princess of national beauty and heavenly fragrance walking out of a picture scroll.Face control is the essence of human beings. Even if you know that this woman has a bad personality, it can't compare to her good looks.Even though many officials hated her deeply, seeing her standing there tall and graceful, they couldn't help but take a second look, but once they relax, they will catch the trick in their words. She is really a monster, which makes people love and hate .

"For this general's visit, the Jianhui Group, the Police Department, and the Immigration Bureau each sent a team to guard them. The list has been announced. Do you have any comments, sir?"

Zhiyi said subtly, although her tone was gentle and in a negotiating tone, in fact there was no room for her to refute.Seeing that everyone had no objections, she showed a bright smile, "Then the meeting ends here."

Everyone left the conference hall, and Zhiyi glanced at Hijikata, who represented the Shinsengumi, who came to the meeting, "Ah, Mr. Hijikata, please wait a moment."

Hijikata was stunned for a second, then walked over with vigilant eyes, "What's the matter? Ms. Hayasaka."

Zhiyi smiled, like a cunning female fox, "Do you hate me? Why did you stay so far away when you saw me? We obviously watched movies together before."

"No, how could it be."

"You can just call me Azhi at ordinary times." Zhiyi kept smiling. She treated the people in Kabukicho as friends, because Manshiya and Shinsengumi often fight and squabble, and she is also classified as friends in her heart. in the ranks.

"I didn't have time to tell you this before. I'm going to escort the general on a visit this time. You really need to pay more attention to many things." Zhiyi looked at him, although he was still smiling, but his eyes were serious, "Recently there is intelligence It shows that Takasugi is haunting Edo, you should pay more attention."

Hijikata widened his eyes, and then slowly regained his composure.It's not surprising that she knows that the Hyakki of weaving clothes is an intelligence organization, and the Shinsengumi is an armed force with different capabilities, so Hyakki must be faster in intelligence work.

"If the information is insufficient, contact my subordinate, and he will give you the information." She took out a business card from her sleeve, on which there was only one surname "Kimura" and contact information written on it.

"I'm leaving, and Kabukicho will be left to you to guard." Zhiyi patted him on the shoulder, then walked towards the door and left.
