[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

*** Keisuke Shannan's Choice ***

At the dinner party that day, Hijikata Toshizo's attitude towards Kokotaro Ito was obvious, but Kokotaro Ito just pretended not to see it, and was a little too enthusiastic towards everyone in the group.

In November, the Shinsengumi compiled the "March Record" in order to prepare for the recent particularly popular "conquest of Changzhou".

However, following the "three veterans' seppuku, the beheading of the four staff officers, and the release of the five ministers", the Changzhou Fan made a great sacrifice in exchange for the temporary trust and mercy of the court, and the topic of conquering the Changzhou Fan stopped.

In February of the second year of Yuanzhi, due to the continuous increase of team members, there is an extremely shortage of housing in the current village.Therefore, the team proposed a plan to transfer the settlement.

"The most suitable place is Nishi Honganji Temple."

Hijikata Toshizo said so, and he also cited the reasons for choosing Nishi Honganji Temple: first, Nishi Honganji Temple is large enough; second, Nishi Honganji Temple protects Changzhou, and can monitor monks while holding all the soldiers.

Everyone agreed, but Shannan Jingsuke was obviously embarrassed, "No, it will disturb the quiet life of the monks."

He was right. The Shinsengumi are basically composed of ronin, and noise is inevitable in daily life. It is indeed very different from the cleanliness required by monks.

Ito Kokotaro, who sat between Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu, smiled slightly: "Mr. Hijikata's move is very good, please do it."

Hearing Kokotarou Ito's words, Keisuke Yamanan frowned, stood up and left the room without saying a word.

"Mr. Shannan!" Shinpachi chased him out.

The meeting broke up unhappy, I packed the tea set and found that Hijikata Toshizo was still in the house.

"Mr. Shannan also has his own considerations," I said.Keisuke Yamanan is not an easy guy to get along with, at least for me, but for Toshizo Hijikata and Shinsengumi, he has always done his best without reservation.

"I know." Hijikata Toshizo replied, "His principle really makes me a little dumbfounded."

A prophecy.

That night, under the commotion, I hurriedly put on my clothes and rushed out, and met Kokotaro Ito who had rushed there.

"What's wrong?" he asked me.

I shook my head, looking at the direction that was extremely noisy in the quiet night, my heart skipped a beat.That place is a research office that has changed like water, presumably the riot tonight has something to do with Rakshasa.

Just as he was thinking, senior Ishikawa trotted over there, and stopped when he saw us and said that there was some small problem over there, so let us go back and rest.

"Can you tell me what's going on?" Ito Kokotaro said softly.

Senior Ishikawa smiled heartily: "Mr. Ito will be informed of this, please don't worry, let's sort out the incident, and we will be able to investigate clearly tomorrow."

Kokotaro Ito didn't ask any more questions, he covered his mouth and yawned a little, "In that case, I'll understand it during the day, thank you for your hard work."

After he left, Senior Ishikawa pulled me and took me outside Keisuke Shannan's room. There was a circle of people around the room with anxious expressions.

"what happened?"

"You'll know when you go in."

I was pushed into Keisuke Yamanan's room. He was lying on the futon, and Okita Souji and Hijikata Toshizo next to him were strenuously clamping his hands.

It's just that his eyes were glowing red, and his originally black hair was now dyed pure white like snow.

"Change like water?!" I exclaimed.

"Ah, Ah Tong, you're finally here." The chief executive squinted his eyes, with beads of sweat on his forehead, "I really don't know how to deal with people who drink like water."

Gritting my teeth, I suppressed my surprise.I rushed over and fell beside Keisuke Shannan, took the medicine powder handed over by Senior Ishikawa, bit my finger and mixed some blood into it, and then poured the sticky mixture into Keisuke Shannan's mouth.

Shannan Keisuke's almost bruised face calmed down, his hair faded, and his blood-red eyes returned to their normal gentleness. He was sweating profusely, looked up at the people around him, and finally fell asleep.

The next day, Saitoichi was ordered by Hijikata Toshizo to fabricate the story of Shannan Keisuke's escape from seppuku.In this regard, Kokotaro Ito was convinced, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

In the near future, the whole team of the Shinsengumi moved to Nishi Honganji Temple, which also provided the possibility for the Rakshasa in the team to hide their eyes and ears.

In April, the year name was changed to Qingying.

In April of the first year of Qingying, in order to prepare for the second conquest of Changzhou, Hijikata Toshizo and Saito Yidong went to Edo to recruit soldiers, and after many days, they successfully recruited a group of strong and strong soldiers to return. Kei and Fujido Heisuke returned to the team together.

The first to welcome out was Yukimura Chizuru, who didn't care about Todo Heisuke's greetings, which made everyone ridicule.

In May, General Tokugawa Iemo went to Luo, and the Shinsengumi came out to meet him.A few people in the team stayed because of physical discomfort, and I, Ishikawa-senpai, and Shannan Keisuke naturally also stayed in this strange village.

Because of the inconvenience caused by the relocation, the number of times Xiaosui visited everyone became very limited, but the general manager did not express any opinion on this.

The general manager's health has not been getting better, I took the responsibility of taking care of him to drink some tonics for his body on time, and forced him to drink one meal a day.

"Ah, really."

"What, drink it obediently."

The general manager held the medicine, pinched his nose and thought for a long time but refused to drink it, "Xiaosui really is."

I put my hands on my hips and ordered him to drink: "If this continues, I won't be able to go to the affairs of the team in person in the future, Captain Yiyi!"

This sentence is particularly ingenious, and the chief executive will snort and drink it in one gulp, and rush to find the prepared sugar water to drink.

But to be honest, this tonic is not the right medicine after all, the general's condition has not improved, but it has become more and more serious day by day.

After Hijikata Suizan came back, I told him about this worry, and he was very concerned about it, so he asked me to ask a doctor to have a look.When he was about to go out, Senior Ishikawa said that he would go out to buy some things, so he went together.

"Look over there."

I looked in the direction Ishikawa-senpai was pointing at, where Yukimura Chizuru was standing in front of a woman and a child. After a confrontation, Saito knocked down the troublesome ronin with two or three strikes.

"With Mr. Saito here, you don't have to worry." I smiled, but Ishikawa-senpai stayed where I was, as if he didn't hear me, "Senior?"

He shook his head, looked at me in panic, said "nothing." He raised his legs and walked forward.

Following him, I found the nearest clinic.It's a good point, but when it is said that the patient waiting for treatment is a member of the Shinsengumi, the doctor will make excuses such as being busy.

"Damn it." I cursed and left the hospital.I thought about going to another doctor, but I tried several in a row, but they were all rejected.

Is the Shinsengumi really like a devil in everyone's heart?Unexplainable emotions, unexplainable emotions, walking on the street with an umbrella, even I feel a little out of place with my surroundings.
