Tennis Shinsengumi's Blood Dance Sakura

Chapter 15 Atobe's Response

"Why did you do this? Ah? When did I give such an order!" Aizu Fan's mansion, Atobe yelled at Shinobu, clenched his fist and wanted to swing it out again, but was hugged tightly by other team members .Hearing such news, no matter what, I can no longer suppress my anger!Shinobu actually delivered such an order in his name, and deliberately caused the Ikedaya incident.

Renzu got up from the ground and wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth. He had expected such a result, but he had to do some things, "Atobe, I think you have been dazzled by love."

"What did you say?" At this time, Atobe had lost the calmness of the king, and his uncontrollable anger erupted like a volcano.

"I said that now is not the time to talk about love." Ignoring his anger, I continued, "Have you forgotten who you are now? Use all available power to solve Yukimura and the others. It is what we are going to do now. The shogunate is already in danger, but you are still immersed in your illusory love."

"Stop talking any more, Renzu." Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade them.

"Don't stop me, now is our best time, Atobu, don't you know? There are a lot of gunpowder and weapons hidden in the Ikeda house. This is the evidence that they are going to set fire to the capital. They can use this opportunity to kill the barbarians. They drove them out of the capital. But you are hesitating. The opportunity must never come again, you don’t know this sentence, right?”

"Of course I know. Do you think I haven't thought about this? Let me ask you, what happens after you drive them out of the capital? Then arouse more hatred and more intense revenge?"

Shinozu smiled coldly, "Atobe, are you afraid?"

"Afraid? What am I afraid of? I am not afraid of war, but now is not the time to fight, do you understand? Now the integration of public and military forces is being implemented smoothly, and a relatively stable environment is the most beneficial to both the shogunate and the country."

"Really? But I think eliminating them in one fell swoop and resolving their worries is the current priority. Peace or something, is that just your strategy to please Tezuka? Your gentle and gentle policy is just appeasement to the expulsion faction That's all, don't you want to wait until they grow stronger and attack the shogunate leisurely?"

The two men stared at each other tit for tat, feeling disappointed in each other in their hearts. The once like-minded people could not stand the test of wind and rain.

"Okay, stop arguing, both of you, it's just a matter of political differences, there's no need for this?" Feng said.

Atobe sneered, "It's just different political opinions? Then let me ask you, even if you want to arrest the rogues of Ikedaya, there is no need to bring Tezuka and the others into it, right?"

Shinozu pushed his glasses like a counselor, "Isn't this the best result? At least there will be no danger of the two swords of Fujimura and Yukimura. I am just adapting to the situation and acting expediently. The general will be outside and the military orders are different. Shou, not to mention that I am the guardian of the capital, and I have the right to deal with it according to my own ideas. Atobe, you have changed, the man who used to do everything for the victory of the ice emperor no longer exists."

"Yeah, it doesn't exist anymore." Atobe smiled bitterly to himself. He hoped that there would never be a second match like that. Although he defeated Tezuka, he was captured by that man's fighting spirit, and that injured arm became The eternal pain in his heart!

"Everything I do is for the sake of the shogunate, and for the future of all of us Ice Emperor!" Shinozu said, "Don't forget who you are, Atobu. Once the shogunate is destroyed, you and I will either die as loyal ministers of the shogunate, or The infamy of surrender will last forever, and it will not end well.”

Atobe locked himself in a dark room, thinking about what happened these days.It's not that he can't understand Renzu's thoughts. If it were him before, he would do that without hesitation, using a condescending perspective overlooking the common people, and wipe out all the enemies who dare to stand in front.But these days getting along with Tezuka, he was subtly influenced by that person.Tezuka is not a talkative person, but sometimes when they are tired from practicing swords, they will sit down in the arena and talk about the future and their dreams.Sometimes Tezuka would talk endlessly about his vision for the future and his views on history.He has such a compassionate heart, cherishes everyone's life so much, and he is eager to bring the nation to a new future through peaceful means.All this has changed his view, and he hopes to realize such a dream with him, without blood and killing, so that the road of dreams will be full of sunshine.

At that time, Tezuka had twinkling stars in his eyes, and his expression was peaceful and beautiful.Every time, Atobe couldn't help thinking that he must fulfill his wish, so that he could see such a peaceful smile every day.

In the darkness, he waited for Tezuka's arrival, he knew that Tezuka would break in like last time and give him a lesson.He could imagine the anger on that face.The person injured this time is the person Tezuka cares about the most!It wasn't his fault, he never gave Renzu such an order, but he didn't intend to justify it, the Ice Empress made a mistake, how could he, the king, shirk his responsibility!Tezuka, if you want to be beaten or scolded, it's up to you!Sometimes I really hope that the person I hurt is me, if I can exchange for your care and attention!

When the sky was bright, Tezuka hadn't come yet.Atobe was suddenly startled. Could it be that that person was completely disappointed in him?Don't even bother to get angry with him?Tezuka, is it too cruel for you to treat me like this?At least you should come and ask me, the truth of those things?Could it be that you sentenced me to death without asking anything? Could it be that I am so unbearable in your heart?

Atobe held his head in great pain and pondered for a moment, and finally stood up reluctantly.It was already dawn, and he could only helplessly accept this fact.My heart haggarded a lot overnight, as if I had aged ten years.

But as Shinozu said, besides being an Atobe, he is also an important member of the shogunate, and he must perform his duties.The Ikedaya incident can no longer be rewritten, so we can only let history develop in a direction that is beneficial to us.

The next day, there were rumors that the Shinsengumi slaughtered the barbarians throughout Kyoto. The Shinsengumi was considered to be the executioner of the shogunate, the cruel and vicious Mibu wolf, and the beautiful image they had established was destroyed.At this moment, the rogues from various domains regard the Shinsengumi as enemies, waiting for an opportunity to avenge the dead.And more people pointed their spearheads at the shogunate, at Matsudaira Rongbao, the guardian of the capital.

The Ministry of Atobu asked the relevant departments to announce a series of crimes committed by the Ikedaya rogues. Everyone knows.At the same time, praise the Shinsengumi, because the Shinsengumi discovered it in time to avoid a disaster.Since Yukimura wanted to use the blood of his companions to arouse resentment, he had no choice but to use his tactics to turn things around. After all, he is still the one who holds the power now.At the same time, he decisively ordered the expulsion of the barbarians, and used this to clean up the Changzhou faction in Kyoto.Seeing that the group and the shogunate soldiers began to search for the aliens in Beijing, the capital was in a state of panic for a while.In the court, he won the emperor's order, which undoubtedly found the most reasonable reason for the actions of the shogunate.As long as the emperor is on one side, that side is just.The Changzhou feudal lord was ordered to return to the Changzhou mansion, and the political power in Changzhou was completely removed from the central government. They lost the opportunity to participate in national politics, and they could only let others manipulate their situation.Atobe's series of vigorous actions re-established the prestige of the shogunate and put an end to the eagerness of all feudal clans.At the same time, for other powerful vassals, Atobe, as always, implemented a soft policy to win over various vassals, especially powerful vassals like Satsuma, to strengthen the shogunate.He met with the feudal lords in person, and with his eloquence, he persuaded the feudal lords to unanimously oppose the drastic approach of the Changzhou faction and support the emperor's decision to expel Changzhou.So Kyoto finally ushered in a quiet time.

And Atobe saw Tezuka on the evening of the sixth day after the Ikedaya incident.These days he has been at his wits end, and although Tezuka is on his mind, he can still distinguish between his children's personal affairs and state affairs.The man standing on the cusp of the storm, the man who carries the future of the shogunate, is him, the king of the Ice Emperor, Atobe, and he has never forgotten this.

These days, the Shinsengumi is still patrolling in Kyoto as usual, without any slack, as if the Ikedaya incident did not happen at all.This made Atobe feel relieved that Tezuka had not given up on him and his shogunate, and Tezuka's cold reaction still made him feel a little uneasy.

Taking advantage of the darkness that night, Atobe brought Huachi to the Shinsengumi.On the second day after the incident, he sent Ryojun Matsudaira to treat Fuji's injuries, but the news that Dr. Matsudaira brought back was not optimistic.There was no scar on Fuji's body, but his breath was disordered, his pulse was abnormal, and he was still in a coma.Dr. Matsudaira was helpless.

"The ghost race is beyond the reach of human beings." Dr. Matsudaira finally said helplessly.

"That's it!" Atobe thought to himself, "Tezuka, you must hate me even more!" For what has happened, it is useless to regret, and the top priority is to make up for the mistakes.

Atobe ran into Tezuka at the gate of the Shinsengumi, and both of them couldn't help being startled. Both of them were much emaciated. They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and their relationship suddenly became colder.For a moment, he didn't know what to say, and after a long silence, Atobe spoke first, "Tezuka, I'm here..."

"Sorry, I want to patrol." Tezuka interrupted him coldly.

"...well, I'll wait for your return." Atobe said.

Tezuka glanced at him, surprised that the high-ranking king would be so humble.But he didn't think much, and he didn't want to think too much. "Whatever you want!" He led the team to turn around and leave the village.

"Tezuka..." Atobe looked at his back and said, "Be careful!"

Tezuka neither turned his head nor responded.Atobe sighed helplessly. Since he came to apologize, he expected this level of indifference.Everyone in Qingxue regarded Atobe as a transparent person and turned a blind eye.Atobe came to Fuji's room embarrassingly, and Fuji who was in a coma could not issue an order to evict guests.He smiled self-deprecatingly.That peerless face looked peaceful and beautiful now, without any trace of pain, as if she was asleep.The faint moonlight shone in through the window paper, passing over his long eyelashes.

Atobe sat down beside him, and sighed, "I really envy you, Fuji. Sometimes I wish I was the one who was hurt, if I could get his gaze."
