[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

"This..." Isamu Kondo, who was sitting opposite, seemed to have something hard to say about this and this, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit subtle.

Looking back, after Feiqi kicked Nagakura Shinpachi, Isamu Kondo spotted me in the crowd and called me here, along with Toshizo Hijikata.But so far, apart from my constant questioning and Isamu Kondo's "this and that...", Hijikata Toshizo closed his eyes and rested his mind as if nothing to do with him, and didn't say anything.

"Is there anything embarrassing for you to say?" I asked.

"That's okay..." Isamu Kondo smiled awkwardly, his eyes erratically turned to Toshizo Hijikata, full of signals for help.I also stared at Toshizo Hijikata, and the room fell into a dull silence.

After a long time, Hijikata Toshisan frowned. He opened his eyes and looked at Isamu Kondo and me impatiently, and said angrily, "Why are you staring at me?"

"Oh? Azui, can you see it?" Isamu Kondo's tone was very surprised, and he jumped in front of Toshizo Hijikata like a big boy, stretched out his hand and pinched his chin, looked left and right, "how do you see it?" of?"

"Brain!" Hijikata Toshizo pushed Isamu Kondo's hand away helplessly, then pushed Isamu Kondo away who was almost stuck to his body, looked at me, and said, "Let me tell the story, Yuu no fit to be a bad guy.”

When he said this, he glanced at Isamu Kondo, helpless but seemed very happy, he was really a strange person, like a complex of contradictions.I raised my chin slightly and looked at him with a tilted face. My purple eyes were beautiful, like a fairy.To be honest, although I don't like this man's character, but for his appearance, I will not be stingy to use those beautiful words to describe him. If I want to sum it up, it is really shocking.

"You have to go to Beijing with us."

Hijikata Toshisan's words interrupted my train of thought, and I said "Oh?", but didn't make any meaningful sounds other than that.

"Not clear enough?" Hijikata Toshisan narrowed his eyes a little, and a faint smile could be seen at the corner of his mouth, but maybe I misread it, after all, that guy tended to be serious, "You go to Beijing with us."

He slowed down his speech, and I finally came to my senses.

"Me?" I pointed at myself in disbelief, "What does Shangjing mean? I have to go with you to participate in the rogue group, and go to Kyoto together? Is that what you mean?"

"Very accurate." Hijikata Toshizo replied.

"..."

It's weird, it's weird.My eyes moved back and forth between Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu's faces, Kondo Isamu turned his head away from me, and Hijikata Toshizo folded his arms with interest and seemed satisfied with my reaction.

"Don't be kidding me," I said after a moment of silence.

"No kidding."

"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just staying here."

"No, you must come with us."

"Why!" I stared angrily at Hijikata Toshizo who kept putting pressure on me, feeling a little wronged in my heart, Ryoma just kept me here for a while, and would pick me up when he came back, if I followed the test guard If the people from the museum go to Beijing, Ryoma will definitely stagger with me.

"Okay, okay, don't get angry." Isamu Kondo came over, "Tong, this is what happened. Do you remember that when we first met, there was a big man making trouble, and you took action."

I nodded.

"After that incident, rumors about you spread on the streets, and then your relationship with Ryoma and Katsu Kaishu was also exposed. Some radical rogues threatened to kill you, you should have an impression, right? Ambush you and Ryoma in front of the house."

Isamu Kondo spoke a little anxiously, I don't know why my mind is very clear and I seem to be extremely calm. I did encounter it before in an ambush, but I don't remember it for a long time after that time. I just thought it was a local hooligan looking for trouble. Follow people.

"Is that why Ryoma entrusted me to you?" I asked, "Is that so?"

"Yes." Isamu Kondo nodded, "It's not safe on the road to Ryoma, I kept you here to keep you safe, but now there are special circumstances, and Ah Sui and I made such a decision, I'm really sorry gone."

"Wait..." I stretched out my hand and pondered for a while, "Wouldn't it be cumbersome to bring me along? I'm a woman and don't know how to use swords, so it's very inconvenient."

"In this case..." Isamu Kondo looked down and became embarrassed.

"Leaving you here is a hidden danger, and it will bring trouble to those who stay in the test hall." Hijikata Toshisan's voice came from the front, "Women and children here, you don't want them to be affected."

My heart sank, seeing Hijikata Toshizo speechless, it was Isamu Kondo who patted me on the shoulder and said sorry.

"I should be sorry, I have caused you a lot of trouble." I got up and opened the door.

"Is this a tacit consent?" Hijikata Toshisan was still unrelenting, his voice sounded very noisy in my ears, I paused at the door, shook my head, closed the door and left along the corridor.

The moment I looked directly into Hijikata Toshizo's eyes, I made up my mind that I would not leave Edo.I will wait around for Ryoma to come back, how long can it be, a month, two months or half a year, I can always wait.

Standing at the main entrance of the test hall, I looked back at the slightly bleak vegetation around me, and pulled up the front of my clothes. The temperature in November was already very low, and the breath I exhaled could be clearly seen.

"Where are you going?"

I stopped, turned around and saw Toshizo Hijikata, he was still frowning, as if someone owed him tens of millions.I frowned, but thought that I might not be able to see each other in the future, and it would be better for everyone to get together and relax, so I smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

"Want to escape?"

I shook my head and said, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time, send hello to everyone for me, I may not see you for a while."

"Sure enough, I want to escape."

"You can say whatever you want." I bowed to him, and then stepped out the door. I have a plan, go back to the uncle's house, pretend to be a man, and hope to hide the truth. Although it is a very crude way, I temporarily I can only think of this as a way to get the best of both worlds.

The arm was pulled suddenly, and a force pulled me back to the door. I saw Hijikata Toshisan's unstretched brows and sullen eyes. I lowered my head, and his hand wrapped around my wrist, pulling it tightly. , I even felt a slight pain.

"Let go." I said softly.

Hijikata Toshisan was so obedient that he listened to my words and let go of his hand obediently. After letting go, he leaned sideways on the door frame with his arms folded, blocking my way.

"Ryoma is in Kyoto," he said.

I looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Kyoto? Uncle and Ryoma haven't mentioned it to me."

"The fewer people who know about their itinerary, the better." Hijikata Toshizo continued, "When we arrive in Kyoto, I will personally hand you over to Ryoma."

"..." I didn't know whether to believe him or not. When I hesitated, the sky darkened a lot, and suddenly it became more gloomy. A few seconds later, it rained heavily.The cold rain hit my face, which hurt a little, but it made me awake.The clothes on my body were gradually drenched, and it felt really uncomfortable to be drenched in cold water in winter.

"Agree?" Hijikata Toshizo's long black hair was drenched, and it looked awkward on his fair face. There was a big gap between him and him who paid special attention to his appearance.

"Let's hide from the rain first." I still need time to think about it, and I don't plan to give a reply first.

"Wait!" Hijikata Toshizo stopped me, the rain was dripping down the line of his jaw, he couldn't tell whether it was the rain falling from the clouds or the rain dripping from his face.

"Be clear, now."

I'm already terribly cold now, and my whole body is almost shaking. After hearing Toshizo Hijikata's answer behind the rain curtain, I was very annoyed, "You are sick! It's raining so much!"

"Then agree."

His attitude was really as cold as the rain.The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting my cheeks so that I couldn't keep my eyes open.

"Absolutely, definitely let me find Ryoma." I confirmed again.

"must."

"That's good. Let's go." I said and grinned, the rain dripped into my mouth, very sweet, "Go to Kyoto."
