[Gintama] Silent

Chapter 23 The melody of the soul will reveal the heart

Their communication was limited to this, and they never spoke again after that.

When the two were talking before, Wan Qi just tilted his head slightly, as if he was listening carefully, but also as if he was simply letting go.

Ren Jian's mood is quite mixed when the past events that have not been recalled for many years are easily mentioned by the other party.

Simply leaning against the tree trunk, recalling the original scene carefully, I felt a bit of sadness in my heart.

The breeze rubs against the leaves, occasionally making a "rustling" sound, which is infinitely amplified in this quiet space.

Suddenly there was the sound of chaotic footsteps in the distance.

She looked to the side in amazement, but the man beside her was as calm as ever.

"The man we've been waiting for has finally arrived."

After finishing speaking, the man quickly dodges to be stopped by someone in the future.

Hasumi quickly followed out, but the moment he saw the black uniform clearly, he felt that the situation was not good.

That was a member of the Shinsengumi, who seemed to be being hunted down by the people behind him.

In the next second, Wan Qi's knife pierced through the opponent's body so fast that he couldn't make any reaction.

He could only watch helplessly as he pulled out his weapon indifferently, letting the bright red blood splash on his body.

The man knelt down slowly, and after falling to the ground, he said with difficulty: "You are... a member of the Ghost Soldier... Wanqi Heshang?"

She was dazed for a moment, not knowing what expression to make, and then silently breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

I have never seen the man in front of me before, so I will not face the danger of revealing my identity for the time being.

But how can we save him without leaving a trace?

This is a real headache.

Suddenly there was the sound of neat footsteps not far away, Hasumi looked up, only to see a group of people in black uniforms walking slowly.

The bloody sunset makes every face look extremely ferocious, and only when the night is late will the sharp fangs be exposed.

She continued to stand there calmly, listening to the conversation between the two without saying a word.

"Ito, you bastard... have you teamed up with the enemy?"

"Yamazaki-kun, if everyone is an idiot like you who can only wield a sword, the world will never change."

The leading man stretched out his hand to adjust his rimmed glasses, and his tone was full of superiority and confidence.

"No matter how much you swing your sword, crime won't go extinct. If there were no criminals, there would be no need for the police. As partners in order to maintain the best interests of both parties, we should communicate better with each other."

"The Shinsengumi can't become stronger like your boss did. Just let it be reborn in my hands, so that my talents can also become the ark that guides the world."

Once in power, he will hunt down and kill dissidents.

Is it this man named Ito who is the inner thief of the Shinsengumi?The tone is really arrogant to the point of making people uncomfortable.

Thanks to his full confidence in his talents, he almost didn't get the title of "genius".

Saying something like "police and criminals should interact better" is nothing more than self-interest.

Even the most basic sense of justice in my heart was lost without hesitation.

If he is allowed to occupy the Shinsengumi and then guide the overall situation, the world will probably become a mess.

The reason why Takasugi is willing to cooperate with this kind of character is just to push the boat along the way.

"You can do what you want. But there is one thing to be clear about. I really don't know how much talent you have, if you are uneducated."

Yamazaki crawled forward with difficulty, his five fingers were so hard that they almost dug into the ground, leaving a trail of blood stains behind him.

"If you have a talent that doesn't contain bushido and integrity, then no one will follow you. I will follow the deputy commander until the end..."

"Before you die, you still want to inform that person. Is this the Bushido you have as a supervisor?"

After hearing this, Ito just let out a sneer, then turned and left slowly.

"Master Wan Qi, I will leave it to you."

The man who had been silent all this time finally made a move this time.

He stepped forward slowly, drew out the weapon in the shamisen, and held it high.

Under the shining of the setting sun, the sharp blade reflected a dazzling light, which was directly reflected in Hasumi's eyes.

She stared at their every move, not daring to relax.Then he walked step by step, faster and faster, and gradually caught up with Wan Qi who was in front.

The right hand has touched the sword hidden in the sleeve, and the palm is already wet.The heart also began to beat violently, with the tendency to jump out of the chest cavity.

The opponent suddenly swung the samurai/sword in his hand, and she quickly took out the weapon, ready to resist the fatal blow for Yamazaki.

But the blade was deflected elsewhere, stably inserted into the ground.

Renjian was stunned by the sudden scene in front of him, changed his movements abruptly, and quickly retracted the sword into his sleeve.

Afterwards, he looked at Wan Qi in surprise, not caring for a moment whether the other party had noticed his small movements before.

However, it seems that she is not the only one who feels strange.

Yamazaki fell to the ground, his pupils suddenly dilated the moment he was cut with a sharp knife, and then he kept staring at the eyes in a daze.

While lamenting that he survived a catastrophe, he should also be wondering why he was easily let go by the enemy.

Only the instigator completely disregarded the feelings of the person involved, showing an expression that could almost be called a "smile".

"My mood has changed, and I want to listen to your song for a while."

He pulled out the samurai/sword stuck in the ground and put it into the shamisen on his back.

"Live on, I am looking forward to the day when I hear the continuation of the song."

After finishing speaking, I stopped talking, turned around and left slowly, the shadow reflected on the ground was stretched slender by the setting sun.

Hasumi glanced at Yamazaki's wound in a complicated mood. The knife just now looked fierce, but it didn't hurt the vitals.

The man in front of him should be fine for the time being. If he can find the local party to report the situation, this turmoil may turn around.

She finally withdrew her gaze, turned around and followed her departing companions.

"Just letting go of the Shinsengumi enemies so easily, if the Governor-General knows about this, won't he blame you?"

Hasumi thought for a long time, and finally decided to ask out the doubts in his heart.

However, Wan Qi only smiled slightly, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all.

"I always pay attention to harmony in dealing with people, even if the other party is an enemy, I don't mind at all."

She silently pondered the answer, and for the first time felt that the man beside her was so unexpected.

As long as you can get the inner approval, don't you care about that person's identity?

What a freewheeling guy, but surprisingly not obnoxious.

-------------------------

The blood-like setting sun illuminated one side red.

Gao Shan stood quietly on the boat with a pipe in his mouth, letting his thin clothes be blown up and down by the strong wind.

It has been a few days since the two left, but they still haven't received any news about Hasumi.

Even if he is as smart as him, he can't think of the reason for it for a while.

Wan Qi is a loyal and reliable subordinate, so he will never betray him easily.

Could it be... There is nothing wrong with her identity?All speculation is just because he is too suspicious?

But all the signs vaguely indicated that things didn't seem to be that simple.

He couldn't describe how he felt at this moment.

It seems to be inexplicably secretly rejoicing, but also mixed with vague anxiety.

It's not at all like the previous Shinsuke Takasugi who planned and acted vigorously.

If Renjian is really a spy sent by the shogunate, how should he deal with him?

If there is no accident, I am afraid that killing Wushe is the only feasible way.

He took a deep breath, let the nicotine filter in his mouth, and then sprayed it all out of his nasal cavity.

For some reason, his fingers suddenly felt a little weak, and even an insignificant object like a cigarette pipe became heavy in an instant.

"Master Jinzhu, it's very windy here, it's not good if you catch a cold. Why don't you add some clothes?"

A sudden voice interrupted his thoughts suddenly.

Takasugi turned his head, only to realize that it was Yuko who spoke.

At this time, she was holding the haori, looking at herself nervously, her eyes full of worry.

He put on the clothes handed by the other party, and then asked in a low voice: "Is there anything unusual in the shogunate?"

The girl's expression became a little serious in an instant, and she carefully told the news she had heard when she went out to inquire.

The process of describing it took some time.

Gao Shan just listened quietly, and occasionally took a few puffs of the pipe in his hand, but the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually deepened.

It turns out that when the Ghost Soldiers teamed up with Ito, the shogunate was also sparing no effort to create turmoil.

The war faction and the peace faction have been in dispute for many years, and it is not surprising that the contradictions have now risen to the surface.

But it should never have been done, trying to direct all the troubles to the people with lofty ideals.

Do you really think they are just ignorant idiots who rely on force to save the country?

He won't let this group of trash have a day of trickery.

After all these years, nothing seems to have changed.

How the shogunate treated them, warriors who defended their homes and the country in the past, is now all returned to their courtiers intact.

Even if he is loyal and dedicated, he will be forced to be involved in fierce political struggles because of the monarch's unavoidable difficulties, and he will end up in the tragic situation of killing all his families.

All the meritorious achievements in the past will also be wiped out, and no trace will even be left in the trend of history.

Hasumi, it turns out that this is the shogunate that you have worked so hard to serve loyally.

It's an extremely real yet extremely ironic reality.

He was looking forward to the perfect ending of this farce.

The author has something to say:

The girl is a member of the imperial family, and most of her contacts are high-level people of the Shinsengumi.She had been in ambush in Yoshihara for a long time, so she didn't know the existence of the character Ito.

The original book did not explain how the governor and Ito hooked up (?), I feel that it should be the ghost army that the latter actively contacted, and then the governor followed suit and made a plan.
