The Chapter of Bo Yinggui Autumn - "Malicious" Tampering

She sat in the sedan chair, whitewashing her truth with thick makeup.Sakamoto sat next to her. Although the battle was not particularly big, in the eyes of ordinary people, they were also dignitaries who could not afford to offend.Therefore, apart from a few children staring at it, there was no one else around.In this way, Ayazuki felt inexplicably at ease.

She remembered what Sakamoto said just now, and lowered her eyebrows. "You're not as flamboyant as before."

Before getting to know the Shinsengumi, how much she was looking forward to running in the market, even in "exotic clothes", she was not afraid of the eyes.After joining the Shinsengumi, although he is no longer so unscrupulous, he will not stand up for the Shinsengumi.But now, she has nothing to do with the Shinsengumi, but she is afraid that someone will see her, and she doesn't want to attract anyone's attention.Obviously no one would point at her and call her a traitor.If it wasn't for the fact that Sakamoto went out to meet guests, she really wished she could walk over quietly.

While thinking wildly, she felt Sakamoto next to her grab her hand.This is very abnormal. "Why? Wouldn't it be misunderstood by others?" She wanted to say that, but when the words came to her mouth, she stopped before she could pronounce the syllables.When she looked up, she saw the team coming towards her.How familiar and how much I miss the faces, but I can't call out their names, let alone make eye contact with them.

The Shinsengumi, who was on patrol, saw this battle from afar. "It seems that some rich family has gone out again." Zuo Zhi pointed at Lingzi and Sakamoto who were walking across but couldn't recognize each other, and didn't notice the abnormality of the woman on the sedan chair at all.

"That's not within the scope of our control, but they dare to be so conspicuous, which shows that they are not afraid of trouble." Although Saito said so, he also kept his eyes on their team and surroundings.It would be bad if there was a riot if there was a rogue who attacked them on the way of the Shinsengumi's inspection.

Just like that, they passed by each other like this, not looking at each other, or deliberately missing each other's eyes, each holding their own concerns.At the moment of interlacing, Sakamoto could feel Ling Azusa holding her hand tightly, with such force that her nails would be carved into the flesh, as if she was using all her strength to prevent her from doing impulsive things.Not only did he admire her "professionalism", even though there was a fierce struggle in her heart that was unknown to everyone, she always maintained a cold and arrogant look with no expression on her face, and performed her proper identity performance.However, Zuo Zhi was upset for no reason.He himself wondered, just for a moment, he felt as if he was missing something important, but there was no clue in his mind, and he couldn't figure out where this feeling came from.

"Zuo Zhisan?" Saito sensitively felt the abnormality of his teammates: his attention seemed to be distracted.

"Hey!? What's wrong?"

"Are you attracted by the beautiful lady just now? You feel weird."

"Ha, Saito, you should say you're weird. I didn't expect you to tease others! I'm fine, I just have a headache." Zuo Zhi lied a little, but he couldn't tell the reason. , It's useless to talk to him.

"Well, after today's inspection, go back and have a good rest."

"Oh, you are also very careful! In the future, use this gentle energy on girls, or they will scare people, and always look calm." He joked.

"Zuo Zhisang..." Originally Saito wanted to test Zuo Zhi with relaxed words, but he teased him.Anyone can see that since Ling Azusa left, he and Hijikata-san were the ones who suffered the most.Everyone also understands.The wonderful air current between the three people before was a secret that everyone kept silent: Hijikata-san has always been very secretive. From the outsiders' point of view, he is always angry with Lingzi, and seems not to have a close relationship with her, but he has always been troubled in his heart. Everything is for her, and she also cherishes her contribution to the Shinsengumi; Zuo Zhisang has given full play to her advantages, clearly showing her kindness to Ayazusa, and the relationship between them is also very close. He would tell him everything, although Zuo Zhi never took the initiative to express his love for some reason, but those who knew him knew that his love for Lingzi was different from the tenderness he had for other people.

After Lingzi suddenly "rebelled" and disappeared, the behavior of the two men was still subtly different: at first, like everyone else, they were unwilling to believe it.But the fact is that, the longer the time dragged on, the more it confirmed the fact that she would not come back, and they even learned from the Yagi's house that she did not appear there.Soon, Hijikata-san accepted this fact, or in other words, as the pillar of the Shinsengumi, he could only choose Ayazusa as their enemy. As one of the tasks, Azusa was passed on to all cadres except Zuo Zhi. There was no need to assign this routine task in the later stage, and everyone knew what to do.Two days after she disappeared, Zuo Zhi was extremely depressed, to the point where he didn't think about food or tea, and then suddenly he returned to his previous appearance as if nothing had happened.It's just that Lingzi's name has never been heard from him again, and he never speaks when other people discuss it.This is really abnormal for Zuo Zhi who has always expressed his emotions clearly, so others are very worried about him, but they don't know how to comfort him.

Not only for Hijikata and Zuozhi, Lingzi is a special existence for each of them.Gradually, the word Ayazusa became a taboo word in Shinsengumi.

It's not like Lingzi didn't think about these situations.But she seemed more convinced now that they were holding a grudge against her.A group of people who value their partners so much hate "betrayal" the most.If it weren't for her ability to change faces and Sakamoto's protection, she would have been hacked to death like Xin Jianjin.Or, in her heart, she wished they would see and treat her that way, because she couldn't forgive herself for what she had done either.Is it possible to wantonly hurt the other party with the reason of "for the other party's good"?

Lingzi's team gradually moved away from the market and walked up a section of mountain road.In addition to the natural sounds around, it is the footsteps of a group of people.During the rush, Azusa and Sakamoto rested in a place far away from other people.

"Aren't you curious? What do I think?" She spoke first in the silence between the two.There was no cause and effect, and she didn't say what she was curious about, so she just asked.

"If you don't want to tell me, what's the use of being curious? It will only increase your troubles. Because as long as I ask, you will worry about whether to tell me, how to tell me, and how much to tell me. So why not Don't ask anything." He knew about her and Shinsengumi, only what she told him.It seemed that the person who made her cry that night was among them.He guessed so.She can act as a person who walks with the enemy of the person he cares about the most. Her courage makes him appreciate her even more.She wants to know what she thinks about how she sees Shinsengumi's relationship with herself and her biases.But he didn't want to say it.She is just using her way to let important people live in this troubled world, but she has never done anything to embarrass herself.It's obvious who is more important to her.As for how she will go on in the future, all he needs to support is enough.

"Thank you." As expected of Ryoma Sakamoto, there was absolutely no need for extra explanations, he understood everything.

"What are you talking about, aren't we friends~" He resumed his grinning look.He didn't care if she knew the future, if she could help his career.To be honest, even if he had such an interest in the beginning, he has given up this idea now.He felt that having someone around him who was fighting for his dream was enough to inspire his courage to fight on.

"Do you know who the person you are going to meet today is?"

Ling Zi took the initiative to ask about the meeting for a while, indicating that her mood has improved. "Ha, it's hard to see that you are passionate. It's a pity, but I don't know too much information. It's been mysterious over there. Although I've heard some information, I don't know if it's related to the person I'm going to meet this time. I don’t know anymore.” In fact, he had also heard a little about what the people over there were doing, but he didn’t really believe it before meeting Lingzi, and he just took it as their trick.Now, he had nothing left to disbelieve.

"Ah, it's really rare. There are also mysterious characters you don't know~" Lingzi joked without thinking too much.

So, when they arrived at the meeting place and saw the so-called mysterious distinguished guest, her jaw almost dropped.

"Chike Kazama!?" The name blurted out as soon as he entered the room, not only because he had seen his appearance before, but also because the familiar person beside him confirmed that he would not admit his mistake.

"Oh? Ms. Sakamoto knows me? I've never met you before. It seems that there is a legend about a strange person in the Sakamoto family who knows everything about the world without leaving home!" Chikage Kazama said lazily and magnetically. The voice showed that he was very interested in Ayazusa.The expressions on everyone else's faces are also very funny, a little bit of shock, greed and jealousy.

She panicked a little, but calmed down quickly.She accidentally called out the name of someone she shouldn't have known because of an accident before, but since they have such an impression of her, maybe they can make good use of it.It seems that Yukimura Chizuru has successfully found him, and now the Shinsengumi will not face additional risks because of this. "Chikage Kazama, you should thank me for sending you such a good wife..." She thought in her heart, but she was coping with the situation in her mouth: "It's not enough to be called a strange person. It's too much."

When everyone was seated, those meaningless greetings were skipped directly, and Chikeaki Kazama said intentionally or unintentionally: "I've heard of a strange woman in Shimabara, Kyoto, who is different, singing, dancing and talking." They are far beyond what mortals can create. I even went to look for them, but I still couldn’t find them. It seems that only certain high-level guests can see them.”

Sakamoto also made a harmless expression and asked him: "What did Kazama-san suddenly mention this for? It confuses me."

"I just heard that Sakamoto-san used to always go to the store in Shimabara. It might just be a coincidence. I don't know if there is any connection between the legendary strange woman and Miss Sakamoto sitting here? After all, the one in Shimabara now The signature geisha disappeared without a trace, at this moment..." He didn't finish the sentence, but everyone understood.

"This is an era when there are many talented people. I really want to meet that legendary geisha. Besides, Kazama-san, aren't you an extraordinary person yourself?" Azusa replied before Sakamoto.She wanted to take a gamble: "Perhaps, I don't know if you adults know that there seem to be many capable people around Kazama-san, such as that cute..." Yukimura Chizuru who just turned her eyes to him who was disguised as a man In the body, she knew that she had won, and Kazama knew her purpose.

"Indeed, I'm not very human." He interrupted Ling Azusa's words that wanted to pull Qianhe out.A woman who should not be underestimated is indeed a powerful helper as a partner. If she becomes an enemy, I'm afraid...

It seems that he didn't tell other people that Qianhe is also a ghost.He is protecting her from being used by those politicians.You have done a good thing yourself, right?

The meeting was a bit tense at first, but in the process of trial and error, the atmosphere improved.After all, except for the foreign aid of the two parties, they are on the same front.Listening to their conversations where it is not clear whether it is power, tactics, strategy or conspiracy, Azusa suddenly feels very tired.In the past, she felt that her modern life was much more difficult than here. The pressure of life required her to master various abilities since she was a child. After entering the entertainment industry, the competition was also extremely fierce.And in this era, you only need to be able to fill your stomach.However, the fact is not what I thought, the problem of survival is the biggest pressure.What is she for?Playing a game that I don't like at all here, what will I get in the end?She has no ambition or awareness to save everyone, she just wants to protect the people she cherishes.

In contrast, in the days of Shinsengumi, arguing with Hijikata about how to deal with team affairs, coquetry with Saito to escape training, exchanging bad words with Okita, "taking the lead" with Heisuke, and drinking with Shinpachi , being black-bellied with Shannan, talking heart-to-heart with Kondo, and every moment with her favorite Zuozhi, now it seems that they are happiness that I have never cherished.Sakamoto belongs to this world. He is full of ambition, ability and political integrity, and has a vision. He is better at handling this kind of situation.He may not have meant it, but she can only be his tool, not his partner.This is also the case with Chikage Kazama.He was just for the ghost clan's gratitude, he was only used as a tool by Changzhou and Satsuma, and he could not become their partner.And if Chizuru has nothing to do with the Shinsengumi, they will definitely not be enemies.Tsunade Yukimura is another matter.

Just as she was falling into her own world, she heard a pleasant voice in her ears. "Well, may I ask, who is Miss Sakamoto from Ryoma-san Sakamoto?" It turned out to be Chizuru.The big shots have already formed small groups and went to talk separately.All that was left in the room was Chizuru and himself.She glanced over and saw that Sakamoto was chatting not far behind her.

"What does Chizuru-chan think? You want to ask me if I'm his sister or his wife?"

"Hey?! You even know my name? Then I..." She looked terrified.

"Don't worry, I won't tell others. Among the people here, apart from Chikage Kazama, I am the only one who knows you best."

"Ah, I'm really sorry, I was rude to ask you that kind of question just now. I just think it's boring for you to sit here by yourself. I wonder if I can talk to you..."

"What's the question?" Sakamoto interrupted their conversation suddenly. "A Miao, what did you do again, scare others! She won't be bored, don't worry, this one?" He comforted Qianhe with a smile.

"My name is Yukimura Qianzuru, and I came with Master Kazama Chikage." Qianhe replied tremblingly.

"Ha, this child asked me, am I your sister or daughter-in-law. How do you say I should answer?" Ling Zi was not to be outdone, he even dared to tease her!

"Well... what do you think it looks like?" He also threw the question to Qianhe.In fact, there is an answer that I want to hear in my heart, but it is nothing more than self-deception.

"That... that... I don't know, sorry!"

"No need to apologize, it's my fault, just answer honestly~" Sakamoto Miu used it to cover up Ling Zi's identity, and they never thought about how to answer this question, because most people would not be innocent. Ask this question face to face.The question, which was not difficult to answer originally, has been changed hands several times, but it seems suspicious.She was about to speak when someone interrupted her again.

"Miss Miao, can you come out and say a few words alone?"

"Yo, Master Kazama's request, of course it's fine. Then, I'll come as soon as I go~" She followed Kazama out and said goodbye to Sakamoto briefly.

"Okay, there's no one here, what do you want to say to me?" Lingzi guessed that he wanted to test how much he knew about the ghost clan and whether it was a threat to them.

"How much do you know about us?" He didn't mince words either.

as expected. "Is there anything about you and Qianhejiang? If you want to know, there are not many, and there are not many. So little that you don't know your stronghold, and so much that you know about Bian Ruoshui and Xuecun Tsunadao."

Hearing the second half of the sentence, his expression changed.
