The Chapter of Bo Yinggui Autumn - "Malicious" Tampering

The next day's competition went very smoothly, and it was the first time for Lingzi to see each of them's swordsmanship in such a complete way. She was a little bit of an introduction, and could see the characteristics and strength of each of them.Harada has nothing to do, and has been accompanying her to explain to her: "Actually, you have good aptitude, but you always feel that you don't study hard, especially after you have completely entered the Langshi group, and you don't train well. Otherwise, you can do it now." Let's compete with them."

"Zuo Zhi, you must be making fun of me, right! How could I possibly compete with them..." She was a little confident in saying that there was no weapon competition, but she did not dare to compete with them in sword competition.

In the evening, Kondo-san was obviously very happy: "Thanks to you, Lieutenant General Aizu gave us a very good evaluation. You are welcome tonight, everyone, drink as much as you want!"

The men were all very happy, and Lingzi was sitting by the side, listening to their noise.

"Oh! The food tonight is really good~" As expected, Xinpachi is most concerned about the food besides the wine.

"Yes, I always feel that it tastes better. Is it because of my mood?" Harada also felt strange.

"Ling Azusa, don't you drink?" Hirasuke found it inconceivable that Ling Azusa was so quiet.

She shook her head and smiled quietly.

"It's okay not to drink! This is not okay for people with lofty ideals who talk about the world at the banquet!" Hirasuke's eyes were very artificial, obviously imitating the appearance of Serizawa and Xinjianjin before.Made Shinpachi laugh out loud.

"If this goes on like this, we won't be able to clean it up in the morning." Shannan's slightly helpless but conniving tone made Lingzi feel that it was really necessary to have someone like him in this group.

"It's okay, Shannan-san. I will take care of them." Lingzi let Shannan sit next to her.

"Is that why you didn't drink on purpose? Thank you so much. It's hard enough to ask you to cook dinner all of a sudden. But I didn't expect that you still have such good cooking skills."

"I knew that you would be appreciated, so I bought the dishes and prepared them. Actually, I don't like cooking very much, but everyone is very tired today, and I have nothing to do, so let's do my best. However, You can't count on me in the future, as expected, cooking is too tiring...I'm a natural enemy for girls to maintain their appearance!"

"At first, I thought you were the eldest lady, so you definitely didn't know how to do housework. But you have suffered so much while staying with us, and I have never heard you complain. In fact, I still don't understand why you made such a choice. .”

Lingzi understands that although Shannan-sang is not hostile to her, but as wise as he is, he still has some doubts.Indeed, when I couldn't confess to them, all kinds of things really made them incomprehensible. "The country is not stable, how can the people live well? So, even if my strength is insignificant, I want to contribute a little bit. Fate made me meet you, I trust you, so I want to work hard for the country with you. However, said Really, there is no need for any reason..." Her answer was false, but it sounded more real, and Shannan-san showed an imperceptible smile.

Sure enough, this group of people drank too happily, Lingzi just stayed with them like that, and finally couldn't help falling asleep against the wall when it was almost dawn. When she woke up at dawn, she found herself wearing Harada's clothes. Outer shirt, and he himself had already fallen asleep lying crookedly on the floor of the assembly hall with the other men. "Really... relying on your physical strength, you can do it like this!" She was about to hit him hard on the chest, but she withdrew her strength at the last moment, but it was enough for both him and Shinpachi Heisuke who was sleeping next to him Woke up.

"Hey? What's the matter!" Harada touched the place on his chest where she had hit him, but it didn't hurt.

"You guys are too worrying. Go back to the house and rest. In the morning, Dokata-san and I told you to take a vacation. Put on your clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold." Lingzi yelled at them aggressively. .

"Then there's no need to be so violent, it hurts!" Shinpachi cried.Must be a bad hangover.

"Don't pretend to be pitiful, I hit Zuo Zhi, not you!"

"His body hurts my heart..."

"cut……"

After a burst of laughter, Lingzi sent them back.Then she started picking up the wreckage of last night.As the eldest lady, she must have never done these things, but she is an independent woman from the 21st century, and these tasks are not difficult for her at all.Not long after, Saito and Shannan, who didn't drink too much last night, came to help her, and the work was quickly finished.

What made everyone even more excited was that their uniforms had arrived.Serizawa generously provided everyone with team uniforms, and Ayazusa Zanguang also got a set, but she was so happy, this is a dream gift!Therefore, even if she knew that Serizawa didn't give enough money to the boss who made the team uniforms, and she didn't know where the money they collected was spent, she forgave it.

"Zuo Zhisan, what do you think of this dress?" Okita asked Harada blankly.

"Is it a little too conspicuous? Hey, Saito?" Harada stared at the clothes, and finally asked Saito's opinion.

"Makes sense."

"How beautiful! I like it~haha! After this, the ronshi group will be famous in Kyoto! People will be able to tell from a long distance that we are here~" Azusa danced gracefully in a blue-green haori .

"Ling Azusa is right. And when patrolling, if you wear a uniform, you won't be mistaken for a homeless rogue, and you can avoid killing your own people." Hijikata explained to them.

At this time, Kondo and Shannan made a request to Serizawa to recruit team members while it was still hot, and Xinjian Nishiki's words aroused Ling Azusa's vigilance: "We have expected that kind of thing and prepared countermeasures." It's just Serizawa After giving him a look, he didn't continue.But she understood what was going on. Sure enough, would that thing still appear here?It seems that she has more things to worry about in the future.It's just that she doesn't know when Serizawa is going to have a showdown with Kondo and the others...

In the next few days, she was busy with her original plan every day, and it seemed that there was no news in the Langshi group, so she was relieved for the time being.Until this night, when she returned to the village a little earlier, she found that everyone was gathered in the house. "What are you doing?"

"Waiting for Kondo-san and Hijikata-san. They have been talking with Serizawa-san for a long time..." Hirasuke responded.

"What's the matter?" Ling Zi didn't think much about it yet.

"Is it an order from the shogunate... something tricky." Shinpachi guessed.

"Leave it to Hijikata-san and the others." Saito was still calm, and he believed in Hijikata.

Just then, they heard a scream.Lingzi's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.Yes, it must be that thing.Everyone else ran to where the sound was, and she moved the slowest, but she didn't rush over because she knew she couldn't do anything if she went. "Damn it, did you show up before I was ready... If I knew it, I shouldn't have given all the silver to Serizawa..." She searched around the house and there was no silverware, so she had to hurry and tell them That thing is dangerous.When she chased after her, everyone except Zuo rushed into the house.

"Lingzi, don't go in, it's too dangerous. Follow me, don't leave!" Harada pulled her towards the back door.Although she wanted her to go back, she definitely wouldn't listen, she might as well be by her side and be safer.When they got to the back door, Harada stood guard and said to her, "Pull your sword, and cut it off if you are in danger."

Before Ling Azusa could respond to him, the back door was knocked open, and Shinpachi fell out of the door.So many people can't stop something, it's really scary.Although Lingzi already knew the ferocity of Luo Sha, she still felt a little scared at the moment.It's not that he's afraid of killing people, but that he's not an opponent.At this time, Saito ran out from one side, "Be careful, Zuozhi!" On the other side, Okita also came panting: "That guy is not an ordinary person."

Harada blocked Raksha's blow with a gun, Lingzi shouted loudly: "Zuo Zhi! Stabbing him in the heart or head, it's useless elsewhere!"

This sound attracted Raksha's attention to her, and Harada stabbed the white-haired monster with all his strength, but because of Raksha's quick dodge, he only got stabbed in the arm.The guy couldn't feel any pain, and his strength was astonishingly strong. He lifted Harada up with the help of a cock, and then threw him out.What's even more unbelievable is that everyone watched the monster pull out the dagger that stabbed the arm, and the wound healed in a blink of an eye.

"Cut... what should I do? Can I stab?" Now she can only rely on Lingzi, she has no confidence in her sword skills.But there was no time for her to think too much, Luo Sha had already rushed towards her.When Okita and Saito saw this, although they immediately wanted to rush over to protect her, they had no time to instinctively. She put down her sword, leaned slightly to dodge Rakshasa's knife, and threw a flying kick.If it was an ordinary person, he should have been kicked down long ago, but the strength of this thing is astonishing, and it was Lingzi who was knocked to the ground instead.Seeing that Rakshasa was about to approach her, she was powerless to fight back at this moment.At the very moment, Tufang appeared from nowhere, and the sword in his hand pierced Rakshasa's heart, and the thing stopped.Lingzi's strings, which had been tense all the time, were relaxed, and her whole body softened, and she collapsed to the ground.Hijikata put away the knife, knelt down and supported Lingzi with his arms, "Are you all right?"

"I'm fine... This thing, is it troublesome?" She asked him softly.

Hijikata didn't answer her, he heard what she told Harada, how did she know this? "Let's gather in the hall, I have something to say." At this moment, three people came out of the house, except for Serizawa and Xin Jianjin, and a bald head.Ling Azusa has been staring at him, that should be the person behind everything: Tsunamichi Yukimura.

Serizawa took out a glass bottle in the hall, which contained a blood-red liquid. "This is a medicine called Bian Ruo Shui, which the shogunate obtained from transactions with foreign countries." Yukimura Tsunamichi introduced it to everyone. "If you drink this, your combat power will be greatly improved..." He continued to introduce, and everyone listened quietly, obviously they were full of curiosity and fear about this kind of thing.Lingzi didn't want to hear his nonsense, it was obviously for her own purpose.But she said that now, who would believe her.

"I remembered!" Harada interrupted suddenly, "That guy is from home. I said why does he look so familiar..."

"At home? Didn't he come to Beijing from Edo with us?" Hirasuke looked confused.

Shinpachi's voice was obviously raised: "That means you used your companions to experiment with this unknown medicine?" His words made Kondo and Hijikata's faces darken.

Xin Jianjin is confident: "That guy violated the team rules, and he should have been cut into his stomach according to the rules. Now this punishment is the same as that of seppuku."

Serizawa also chimed in: "It's just that the way of punishment is not seppuku."

Ling Zi just wanted to come out to choke, when Hijikata expressed his opinion: "Serizawa-san, I oppose the research of this medicine. The family who has become a Raksha can no longer distinguish between the enemy and the enemy."

"I also have the same opinion." Kondo looked at Serizawa.Hope he thinks about it.

"However, Mr. Yukimura said that there is still a lot of room for improvement."

"In order to test the efficacy of the medicine..." the earth side wanted to argue.

"This is an order from the shogunate!"

"We don't have to obey such ridiculous orders!"

When Serizawa spoke suddenly, Azusa felt it was very dangerous, and Serizawa was going to use his heresy and tough attitude to convince everyone again. "Originally, a samurai is morally based on obeying orders, even if they are ridiculous orders. Perhaps people who are not from the samurai family will not be able to understand it."

The atmosphere was extremely suppressed, Lingzi couldn't bear it anymore.She jumped up: "Then Serizawa-san, I think it's okay to discard this kind of bushido. Or do you think that it is also a glorious spirit to obey the ridiculous order of letting the samurai hurt the people? One person Whether you have true Bushido is not judged by such a simple standard, let alone judge a hero based on your background. According to what you said, you came from a warrior family, so why did you end up in the same end as us? Moreover, such Bushido It is even more impossible to become the realm that everyone yearns for. Also, you said before that this is just a different form of punishment. I totally disagree! Seppuku is harakiri, and it is the price that people who make mistakes have to pay. What is it to live like a ghost? It is obviously an insult to people."

"Natsume, calm down. Indeed, for us now, we cannot ignore the order of the shogunate." Sannan-san said in a steady voice.

"Sannan-san!" Lingzi and Hijikata wanted to argue together.But after hearing what he said next, he didn't say anything more.

"Since there is still room for improvement, then please step down from the post of Director Shinmi and concentrate on researching this potion." Indeed, since it is impossible to disobey the order of the shogunate, then at least check and balance the relationship between Serizawa and Niimenjin Power is also the only benefit.Although Xin Jianjin was very reluctant, Serizawa agreed.

"You guys just compromised like this?!" Ling Zi felt angry no matter what she thought.Let her stay in the same room with someone like Yukimura Tsunamichi, and she couldn't guarantee whether she would kill him. In a fit of anger, she got up and rushed out the door.
