Naruichi Kamiya volunteered to come to Kyoto with the Shinsengumi.

This is the headquarters of the Shinsengumi. When Director Kondo asked about it, he said: "I have a hunch that something big may happen in Kyoto."

Toshizo Hijikata, deputy director of the Shinsengumi who found him disliked, sneered at the side: "Anyway, he must be planning something in his heart again."

Hijikata Toshizo is the person who most opposes the idea of ​​becoming a Rakshasa proposed by the adviser, and he is also the only person in the team who insists on not becoming a Rakshasa.

The unsmiling deputy director didn't like the smiling person like the counselor at all, and he didn't know why, the deputy director insisted on the plan proposed by the counselor.

"He is neither for this country nor for the shogunate." Hijikata Toshizo once said to Isamu Kondo.

In his heart, what the counselor does is only for better enjoyment.

If you use this point to question the counselor himself, you will only get a calm answer from the other party: "Is there anything wrong with liking pleasure?"

Tufang Suisan stared dumbfounded at the counselor's righteous face, and was so angry that he almost drew his knife and cut him off.

Regarding Hijikata Toshizo's question, Isamu Kondo just said calmly: "If the Shinsengumi is not willing, no one can force us. Just watch, this is everyone's choice."

At first Hijikata Toshizo didn't know what Director Kondo meant, but gradually he began to understand.

At first, not everyone had unreserved trust in the counselor, and more people were skeptical, but one day, Hijikata Toshisan discovered that those who insisted on not using Prajna water became Rakshasas.

Before he knew it, he was the only one left.

When asked, someone would tell him: "The situation was very critical at that time. If I didn't become a Rakshasa, I would have died at that time, so I don't regret it. You see, I can still lift the knife and continue to fight. .”

Hijikata Toshizo recalled in a daze that in the Shinsengumi, colleagues who had met the day before would never be seen again the day after, and the loss of personnel was high all the year round.

From the moment of entering the Shinsengumi, it means an unpredictable death that may come at any time.

But since not long ago, people in the Shinsengumi have even suffered fewer injuries, and everyone's footsteps have become lighter and lighter, making the Shinsengumi, a place favored by death, permeated with a happy atmosphere.

These changes that Hijikata Toshisan felt relieved and gratified were brought about by the people he hated and guarded the most.

Director Kondo probably already knew.

These murderers are already living a precarious life. When facing desperation, instead of dying like that, even if they become evil ghosts, they still want to live and continue to fight.

At that time, it doesn't matter at all to become something inhuman.

Hijikata Toshizo asked himself, at that time, he would make the same choice.

He knew that other people didn't choose to live out of selfishness, and they might die anytime after becoming a Rakshasa. He just bought a little more time, a little more, for everyone, for the Shinsengumi.

So he thought of that meaningful look in Yishen Xiuyue's eyes when she left that day.

No wonder he didn't use the power he gained from the general to force the Shinsengumi, Yi Shenxiuyue had expected this result long ago.

This is not even a conspiracy, he just put the choice in front of the warriors, no matter what his ultimate goal is, no one can refuse such a temptation.

Knowing that this result was the Shinsengumi's own choice, Hijikata Toshizo was even more wary of Yigami Hidezuki in his heart.

Everyone knows that he is smart and insidious, but when facing him, it is difficult to develop more defenses.

Humans are creatures that can be deceived by their senses.

What Hijikata Toshisan has to do is to stay sober when everyone is bewitched by him.

......

Knowing that Hijikata Toshizo hated him, Kamiya Naruto would not approach him, consciously stay away from him, and only talk to other people.

I don't know if it's out of an attitude of watching a good show, or a pure coincidence. After arriving at the garrison in Kyoto, after a little rest for a day, the Shinsengumi began to patrol in Kyoto. It was more convenient to carry, so I asked Isamu Kondo to put him in the patrol form, two groups, on the first day of patrol, his partner was the Hijikata Toshizo who hated him so much.

Naruichi Kamiya and Toshida Hijikata who received the form stared at each other, and finally Naruto Kamiya couldn't stand it and suggested to Isamu Kondo: "I think Mr. Hijikata's company with me is too wasteful, it's better to be with other people." If you want to carry out the mission, anyone can do as I say."

Hijikata Toshizo: "I'm afraid I'll beat him if I'm with him."

Beating is not allowed, so I have to endure it even if I think about it. If Shinsengumi ever had the opportunity to say "I have someone above me", this person above must be referring to the most trusted staff member of the shogun, Hideyue Yigami.

In other words, the status of the opponent is higher than that of the Shinsengumi.

Kondo Isamu: "Anyone can do it, can't it just be Hijikata?"

Shen Guming fell silent.

Isamu Kondo has always given people the impression that he is serious and serious, a reliable adult man, even if he senses that he is watching the excitement, Naruichi Kamiya will wonder if he feels wrong.

"Since you said that you will temporarily treat you as an ordinary member of the Shinsengumi, I will do so, and I hope you can obey the arrangement of the Shinsengumi," Isamu Kondo said seriously, and turned to Toshizo Hijikata, "Hijikata, work Time, I hope you can let go of personal grievances."

Hijikata Toshisan lowered his head in shame.

He is a Kondo Fuki, and that sentence just now exhausted all his courage.

"I know, I will do my job well."

Naruto Kamiya looked at Toshizo Hijikata, then at Isamu Kondo, and suddenly felt that he understood something.

Director Kondo was really trying to trick the two of them.

Spotting his gaze, the serious Director Kondo took advantage of the moment Hijikata Toshizo lowered his head, and smiled slightly at Kamiya Narukazu.

——Don't tell him.

Shen Guming nodded calmly, silently moved his eyes away, pretending that he didn't notice anything.

When I left Director Kondo's office and looked at Toshizo Hijikata, I felt a little pitiful.

What kind of tricks have been made by the chief of the bureau.

Hijikata Toshizo still had a stiff expression on Kamiya Naruichi, but he was still trying to calm himself down.

Hijikata Toshizo, who left the director's office, returned to his appearance as Takano Hana, and said coldly to Kamiya Naruichi, "You follow me, you don't have to do anything."

Kamiya Mingichi, who hadn't planned to do a patrol mission, still asked curiously: "The mission?"

Hijikata Toshisan said coldly, "I can do it myself."

Knowing what he meant, Shen Guming quickly took two steps to keep up.

......

As the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, Hijikata Toshizo always had a cold face, and Kamiya Naruichi followed him and enjoyed the treatment that was shunned by others.

When they walked to a restaurant, there was a quarrel inside, and I don't know where the boss got the courage to drag Hijikata Toshizo to ask for a comment.

A samurai in ragged clothes stood there with a flushed face and a fierce look on his face, and the boss looked sad, but implied contempt.

The thing is like this, a ronin from Changzhou ran to this restaurant to eat, and found that one of his rice balls was smaller than the other two, so he went to the store to make a theory.

Shopkeepers think that samurai are fussy, and merchants mostly look down on samurai.

He thought he was superior, but in fact he was too poor to eat, so he laughed at the samurai, and the samurai pulled out his knife and chopped off the table in a fit of anger. This time, the shop owner was also angry.

Hijikata Toshizo had just raised his foot, when he remembered something, he frowned and looked back at Kamiya Naruto.

Kamiya Ming raised his hand, expressing that he would definitely do nothing and just stand here waiting for him, Hijikata Toshizo followed the shopkeeper into the store.

Even without Hijikata Toshizo's warning, Kamiya Naruto was not interested in known events.

In order to write the script of the Edo period, he also made up a lot of history about this period.

"Fujioka House Diary" wrote in detail how discord between merchants and samurai during the end of the Tokugawa period.

After all, one holds a money bag but has no right to speak, and the other has a reputation but is almost unable to eat. No matter how you think about it, they look at each other and hate each other.

But it is not absolute.

Shen Guming took a look inside the restaurant, showing a thoughtful expression.

The businessmen who seem to have no sense of existence are not as focused on making money as they seem.

Cheung Chau... is in favor of the fall of the curtain.

Hijikata Toshisan quickly checked the situation at the scene and made a judgment immediately.

"You need an explanation," he told the shopkeeper.

Then he said to the warrior: "You have to pay for the tables and chairs."

The samurai immediately grimaced. He came from Changzhou, and it was not easy for him to have a meal. How could he have money to pay for the tables and chairs.

Knowing the hardships of the samurai, Hijikata Toshisan was silent for a while, handed over his wallet, and threw it to the shopkeeper coolly, "I helped him accompany him."

It can be seen that he has a higher base favor for fellow warriors.

Kamiya Mingichi even wondered if he liked the strange samurai whom he met for the first time more than him.

Hijikata Toshizo came out amidst the samurai's thanks, and said calmly, "Let's go."

Kamiya Mingichi: "It's almost noon, are you hungry? You should be hungry."

Hijikata Toshisan looked at him brightly and said - what are you going to do again.

Shen Guming smiled nonchalantly, "Wait for me, I'll go and have a look, it would be great if there are rice cakes."

After finishing speaking, he ran into the store without looking at the downcast face of the deputy head of the Shinsengumi.

He asked the shopkeeper kindly: "Is there any rice cake here?"

Obviously, the shop owner was not satisfied with Hijikata Toshizo's handling, so he didn't want to talk to Kamiya Naruichi who came with Hijikata Toshizo.

"No, you can look elsewhere."

The shopkeeper turned his head and wanted to leave, but found that the customer who was looking for trouble leaned slightly, closed his eyes and sniffed.

The shopkeeper frowned, "What are you doing?"

The person who made this strange move didn't move, just opened his eyes in this posture, and raised the corners of his lips: "Actually, you're not that angry."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"The smell of gunpowder."

The shop owner was impatient and wanted to push him out, "Hurry up, hurry up, I told you there is no rice cake!"

Shen Guming stroked his neckline very quickly, twirled the powder with his fingers, and showed it to the shopkeeper.

The store owner froze, and then slowly felt a chill seeping in from the soles of his feet. His body was as stiff as a puppet, and the blood all over his body was coagulated.

He clearly knew that he should say something to deal with it, but he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.

Has it been discovered?

It must have been discovered, this is a member of the Shinsengumi.

"Don't be so nervous," Shen Guming patted him on the shoulder, "I have no other meaning, just to remind you to be careful."

Then, he bent down again, and said in the ear of the shop owner, "Is Mr. Gui Xiaotaro all right?"

The store owner looked at him in surprise, "You..."

"I have admired this gentleman for a long time, and I heard that this time...he will come too," Shen Guming smiled knowingly, and pointed outside, "That guy's nose is very sensitive, be careful , okay?"

As soon as Gui Xiaotaro's name came out, the shop owner's trust in him immediately increased a lot.

own people.

Otherwise, they would not have known that they had taken action recently, they happened to be in Kyoto, and Katsura Kotaro was also coming.

What's more, since he found out that he has ammunition here, he doesn't have to go forward and tell him, just pretend that he doesn't know anything, and then bring someone to collect it.

"That gentleman is very nice. He has something to do and he will be here later." The shopkeeper thought he wanted to see Mr. Gui Xiaotaro.

"That's great news to hear."

The shop owner responded, "Yes."

Shengu Mingyi was chatting with him, then changed the topic, and asked again: "I don't know if you still have rice cakes, other things are fine, the one outside has been taking me around, I'm so hungry."

Ask again at this time, the boss's attitude changed 180 degrees, he nodded immediately, ran to the counter and took out a box of rice cakes that looked very expensive for him: "This is specially reserved for my daughter before, You take it away to fill your stomach first."

"Your daughter?"

"Ham, I'm only four and a half years old this year." Thinking he was embarrassed to accept it, the boss hurriedly explained, "It's okay, she's still young, so I'll forget about it after a while, and I'll buy her another box tomorrow."

The smile on Shen Guming's face became much more real, "Then thank you very much."
