[Gintama] Silent

Chapter 26 Whoever Showdown First Loses

A round of bright moon in the sky is still round, gently reflecting the light boat below.

The crisp sound of running water can be heard in the ears, and the melodious tune of the shamisen is a special mood.

Takasugi plucked the strings casually, listened carefully to the situation reported by his subordinates, and then asked questions casually.

"Ito died, but Shinsengumi survived. It's really surprising. Is the shogunate still so strong?"

He opened his eyes and looked straight at the man sitting opposite, his tone suddenly became tough.

"No, is Yidong too weak? Or Wanqi, you are too bad?"

However, the other party just continued to play calmly, without feeling flustered at all by his anger.

"The original purpose of this mission was to divert the Shinsengumi's attention. Now that Chun Yu has successfully smuggled in, and the secret treaty with the central government can be reached, it will be useless to fight."

The rhythm of the playing is getting faster and faster, which is far from the slow tempo before.

Takasugi simply stopped playing, "I remember that the order I gave should be to destroy the Shinsengumi?"

Wan Qi also stopped what he was doing, and his tone was as relaxed as ever.

"The key to anything is to look at the tempo and rhythm. As long as you can master these two, everything will be smooth sailing. If you can't get it together, you will retreat. This is my style of doing things."

After finishing speaking, he straightened up and planned to get out of the cabin.

"Wan Qi," he immediately called out to stop the other party, "is it already impossible to catch up with my song?"

Whether it's the beat of the performance or the inner thoughts, the two seem to be out of sync as before.

Wan Qi stopped suddenly, but he still didn't look back.

"Bai Yasha said that no matter before or now, what he wants to protect has never changed. Jinsuke, do you know what he is referring to?"

The man looked back slightly, and the dim light reflected the outline of his side face.

"I'm already obsessed with that guy's song, and I kind of want to hear the last thought."

Takasugi's expression became cloudy because of these words.

He knew so what, but he still couldn't understand it.

That guy in Yinshi has been virtuous since he was a child, he looks lazy and doesn't care about anything.

Now he is just curled up in a small house, living the life of ordinary people, and even doing things is timid.

The ending is just the same as the beginning.

Everything that was intended to be protected was shattered, and there was nothing left but a wasteland.

Gao Shan didn't understand why Wan Qi was so interested in such a tune.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten one more thing, about Ms. Hasumi."

The sudden male voice finally managed to pull him back from his contemplation.

"Actually, no matter what kind of answer you get, Jin Zhu must have already made up his mind, right?"

Takasugi didn't pick up the words, and he acquiesced to the other party's statement.

"At least the shogunate hasn't found out that we have teamed up with Chunyu, and I think it can explain some problems."

After Wan Qi finished speaking, he walked out of the cabin directly, as if he had no intention of listening to him.

The bright moon was blocked by a few strands of clouds, and it began to become a little dim, even in the cabin.

The alone space instantly became deserted.

He picked up the plectrum, closed his eyes and continued to play, still the previous soothing tune.

The lingering sound still lingers around Qingge and never stops.

When Takasugi opened the door and entered the room, Hasumi was kneeling on the ground, carefully handling his wound.

The sudden movement made her quickly put on the clothes she had slipped off before, and her tone of voice when she turned around was really not polite.

"Master Governor, please knock on the door before entering the house next time, thank you very much."

Does this guy know how to respect other people's privacy?Fortunately, I moved fast enough so that the other party didn't take advantage of it.

However, the person who came did not answer, just walked to her side and threw down a sharp samurai/knife.

The sound of the weapon falling to the ground was extremely loud.

Is it true that, as Wan Qi said, if he fails in a mission, he will be reduced to the point of apologizing?

She looked up blankly, only to see the man leaning against the wall, and the hostility on his body became a little bit heavier.

"Why don't the samurai of the royal family use swords?"

There was an indescribable chill in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her soul through skin and flesh and blood.

Hasumi's hands and feet gradually became cold, even with a heart.

In fact, she really wanted to refute, but suddenly found that all words seemed so pale and powerless.

I could only speak slowly, expressing the doubts in my heart: "When... did you start to doubt?"

The other party's answer surprised her—it turned out to be the time when the two joined forces to fight against the shogunate killer.

Lianjian suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and the layout he had laid out quietly was already considered watertight.It was these unplanned existences that made her show her feet too early.

Perhaps this is God's will.

However, what is even more ridiculous is that Takasugi had doubts about his identity at that time, but he still accepted her into the team as if nothing had happened.

Then sent to carry out tasks, continue to be used.On the outside, he remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

How scheming and deep is this, how can it be an object that I can easily contend with.

Hasumi still remembers that when she took the portrait of the target person, her mind suddenly went blank.

"Takasugi", this surname looks so familiar.It's a pity that when it is connected with the word "Jin Zhu", it can only give people endless darkness and fear.

After returning to the shogunate, she connected the seriously injured young boy with the dangerous leader of the radical faction countless times, and then quickly separated them.

She comforted herself not to think too much, barely ignoring the panic echoing deep in her heart.

It's a pity that the ending was a shining slap in the face after all.

Even if he really didn't intend it at the time, he still couldn't change the fact that he had saved that man—an enemy who was about to overthrow the shogunate and destroy the world.

Infiltrate the ghost army, keep an eye on the actions of the radicals, and seize every opportunity to hinder their plans.

She still took the task without hesitation.

If the initial encounter between the two is destined to kick off everything, then everything will just continue to happen step by step.

Good fortune is such a trick, so that you have no chance to resist.

Hasumi is very grateful that Qingchi never gave the order to assassinate Takasugi, because that is the real death.

After all, she wasn't even sure if she could make a move, not to mention that the other party was a man who saw things more clearly than she did.

Losing to such an opponent, she was convinced.

"If you want to kill or cut, let me listen to you."

As early as when he became a secret agent, Hasumi was ready to die at any time.

Although I didn't expect this day to come so soon, it's a pity that I haven't had time to practice good cooking skills.

Although compared to living well, this seems to be an impossible thing to accomplish.

To be more precise, in this troubled world, she had no hope of saving herself at all.

The man in front of him didn't make a move, he just stood there quietly, refusing to speak.

His eyes were hidden in the slightly longer bangs, and he seemed to be thinking about something carefully.

She felt that Takasugi was probably thinking about how to deal with herself.

Unexpectedly, when she was really facing death, her mood was unprecedentedly peaceful and peaceful.

However, in the next second, he was disturbed by the other party's question - "Why did you save me in the first place?"

At that moment, Renjian almost wanted to sneer.

what is this?After discovering her true identity, she came to the showdown, showing off her intelligence with great power.

Then dig out the old events of the year and wonder whether the savior has a special purpose.

Before she died, she had to make her so sad, so she didn't want to be such a bully.

Ren Jian looked away, but saw the shamisen bought for him at that time.

For so many years, even though she has been traveling around, she still carefully preserves it.Even after completing this mission, don't forget to bring it with you.

"Takasugi, I admit that when I first joined the ghost army, my purpose was not pure."

She raised her head and looked straight into the other's eyes.

"But in all fairness, I have never had a clear conscience about all the choices I made during that time."

His pupils dilated when he heard the answer, as if suddenly caught off guard.

The ice and snow in his eyes slowly began to melt, and even his expression became less scary.

Takasugi was silent for a while, then walked out of the room.

The wooden clogs stepped on the ground and made a "slap-tap-tap-tap" sound, which was heard in her ears and pressed against her heart at the same time.

Even if she was lucky enough to save a life just now, Lianjian still suddenly felt melancholy.

She was afraid that she would not be able to stay in the Ghost Squad anymore, but she didn't know what kind of expression she should have when she went back to face the teacher who had high hopes.

The man suddenly stopped at the door, turned his back to her and spoke slowly.

"There is something that I think you should be very interested in knowing."

He hesitated for a moment, but finally continued, "There is civil turmoil in the shogunate."

The uneasiness in Hasumi's heart gradually expanded, and the sentence "the object of purging is the Qingike faction" was finally put to the limit.

The shock in her heart grew to the edge in an instant. She wanted to get up, but she became unable to move because of sitting on her knees for a long time.

He could only stare at the man's back with his eyes wide open, but he couldn't say a word anymore.

Gao Shan turned his head and looked at himself with pity in his eyes, but also mixed with other emotions.

"Where should the tip of your knife point?"

His voice seemed to come from a very distant place, with a hint of emptiness.

"Is it me, or someone else?"

The author has something to say:

The setting in the article is like this~ The shogunate supported the barbarians in the early years, and then under the pressure of heaven and man, they began to attack the barbarians.When the girl rescued the governor, joy4 was just fighting against the barbarians and hadn't fallen, so the shogunate didn't issue arrest warrants for these people at that time (the photos in the original book were all about their adulthood).

Quanzang said that all the members of the imperial court were from the barbarian faction (that's why the girl rescued the seriously injured governor at the beginning).After she went back, the task did not involve clearing up the barbarians, so she didn't pay much attention to this matter (after all, the governor didn't even tell her his name, and the appearance and temperament have changed a bit... Yes, see here You will find that the girl knows the full name of the governor because of the task assigned to her by the teacher==), and for a while, she didn't connect the young man who was barbarian with Shinsuke Takasugi.So when the child received the task and found out that her friend had turned into an enemy, she was stunned (the reason why the teacher sent her will be explained in the next chapter).

In Chapter 9, it is written that after the two teamed up to drive away the killer, the girl leaned over to study the corpses, in fact, she wanted to see where these people were.Because the girl's original plan was to bet that the governor still felt grateful and guilty towards her, so he would accept her into the team.So these killers were not sent by her, and it is easy to be exposed if it is superfluous, although it is still exposed in the end ==

There seems to be a lot of foreshadowing, and I am tired_(:_」∠)_
