The noisy footsteps...the clanging sound of weapons colliding...

Iwakura Hitoshi's ears were very sharp.

Amid these strange noises, he heard a hoarse roar:

"Run! Run!"

"The thief is at Xuanqiu Gate!"

"Damn it! Call reinforcements here!"

"Notify the new selection group! Block the 'Seventh Guard of Kyoto'! Never let the thieves escape from Kyoto."

The seventh gates of Kyoto-Seventh gates that isolate "Luozhong" and "Luowai" - Nagasakakou, Anmakou, Oharakou, Sudakou, Fushimikou, Birdsongkou, Tanbakou.

The imperial hall is located in "Luozhong".

If you want to go from "Luozhong" to the outside world, you must pass through "Seventh Guard of Beijing".

The essence of "Luowai" is the city town developed around "Luozhong", and there is no city wall on its periphery.

In other words, the "Kyono Seventh Guard" of "Luozhong" is the last line of defense to prevent Iwakura Koshi and others from escaping!

Once Iwakura Hitoshi and others leave "Luozhong" and escape to "Luowai", it will be like the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish are leaping!

Iwakura Koshi gritted his teeth and his expression sank:

"Damn it...had you been discovered...!"

Before the "Three Magical Artifacts" arrived, the enemy soldiers arrived first... The current situation suddenly became nervous.

Fortunately, at this moment, he heard a confidant shouting:

"Sir! Sir! They are here!"

Iwakura turned his head quickly and looked in the sound, and saw that the team he was thinking about was finally running towards them.

Without even having to say hello, he asked impatiently:

"Where is the 'Three Artifacts'? Have you got the 'Three Artifacts'?"

The leader pulled down the corner of his mouth and squeezed out an embarrassing expression:

"Your Excellency! Something happened!"

"On the way to the treasury, we encountered enemy soldiers!"

"In the midst of the chaos, we only had time to grab... to recycle the 'Baoqiong Gouyu' and 'Baota Mirror'!"

Iwakura Kou immediately frowned his eyebrows when he heard this.

The "three magical tools" are only two... This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the "sacredness" of the royal family.

However, now that things have come to this point, it is impossible to turn back and get the "Tiancongyun Sword".

Iwakura Koshi quickly suppressed the negative emotions in his heart and said in a deep voice:

"Well!"

"As long as you successfully take away the Emperor and the Crown Prince, it will be considered a victory!"

"Let's withdraw!"

The group stopped staying for a long time, turned around and fled, leaving Xuanqiu Gate along the road he came.

By the way, the guards of Xuanqiu Gate are also in this queue.

He could no longer stay in Aizu after doing such a tragic incident, so he could only follow Iwakura Koshi and others to fly away.

Although he has a family and a family, his parents, wife and children are in Aizu, so what?

He has an amazing wealth that he can't spend in ten lives, so he can build a new family after arriving in the Western Kingdom.

...

...

The tranquility of the night was torn to pieces.

Teams of sergeants drove up the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

Torches lit up inside and outside Kyoto.

The sound of footsteps and shouts sounded in one circle.

Such a huge movement seemed like a thunderclap, awakening the people of the town.

The enthusiastic people pushed open the door to see the situation.

However, after seeing countless fully armed sergeants, they consciously retreated back to the house and locked the doors and windows.

Although you don’t know what happened, you will definitely not make any mistakes away from places with many troops!

In this way, all the scholars and citizens in Kyoto were closed at home and dared to sneak into the outside world through the cracks in the window.

In order to recover Iwakura Koshi and others, all the Aizu soldiers stationed in Kyoto took action.

I saw that one of them counted the other, and they were all panicked.

There are many people who are sweating prone and shaking their legs.

It is not difficult to understand their fear when putting their hearts in mind.

The only task of the "Entertainment Army in Beijing" is to protect the imperial headquarters and protect the emperor.

But in the end, they didn't even do the only task well!

Although the time is still short, they have roughly figured out how the imperial court was lost.

Without any strange plots or tricks, the guard of Xuanqiu Gate was bribed, and then the thieves rushed into the imperial station with great swagger!

Such a big mistake and such a serious mistake... There is no doubt that even if I finally successfully recovered Iwakura Koshi and others, I would not be able to escape punishment.

What's more, Matsuhei Haruka's respect for the Emperor is well-known.

If we cannot try to remedy it... the soldiers of the "China Army" dare not imagine how angry the lord would be!

You can't think about it carefully... Otherwise, you will tremble all over and you will not even be able to walk well.

Such a serious accident naturally caused even the "New Selection Group in Beijing" to be alarmed.

The current captain in charge of guarding Kyoto is Shinjijin, the captain of the fifth team.

In general - unless a general mobilization is initiated, all captains will go to the front line - otherwise, at least one captain will always guard Kyoto.

When Iwakura Goshi and others forced their way into the imperial office, Xinjian Jin was sleeping in the Xinxuan Group Shop in Rensheng Township.

After learning the important news that "the emperor and the prince were robbed and the 'three magical weapons' were lost", he suddenly felt sleepy and stood up, unable to recover his peace for a long time.

Although this is a chaos caused by the "China Army" and they will bear the main responsibility, if the thieves escape from Kyoto, the newly selected group will be blamed.

Therefore, the new brocade cannot be viewed on the wall.

He personally directed the soldiers to block the "Seventh Entrance of the Capital" and divided his troops to guard all the important roads leaving Beijing - especially the road to the Western Kingdom.

"Anyone who can breathe, no matter whether he is a human, a dog, a cow or a bird, is not allowed to leave Kyoto!" - Shinjianjin ordered him like this.

It is true that the Emperor is a "mascot". As far as material is concerned, there is no need to win over the Emperor.

However, on the spiritual level, the Emperor has extraordinary value for utilization!

As long as you control the Emperor, you can use the Emperor to command the princes! In the name of the Emperor, you can create excuses for war and then occupy the highest point of morality.

Therefore, the Emperor is just like Emperor Xian of Han in the late Han Dynasty - he can be without him, but it is best not to lose him!

In short, no matter who it is, he cannot bear the blame for "losing the Emperor"!

The "New Selection Group in Beijing" and the "Commission Army in Beijing" work together to carry out a "carpet-style search" to search every inch of the inside and outside of Kyoto, hoping to turn the entire Kyoto over.

However... although they have shown up 120,000 yuan in enthusiasm,... they have achieved nothing.

Time passes by bit by bit... No matter how ugly their expressions become, no matter how much anxiety on their faces aggravate, they can never change the result of "get nothing".

Iwakura Koshi and others seemed to have evaporated from the world, and they didn't even leave any traces...

...

...

Kyoto, Luozhong, the mansion of a minister, backyard—

Iwakura Yuen led everyone and walked quickly to the depths of the yard.

Suddenly, a squirming silence appeared in the shadows in front of them - a middle-aged man walked out slowly.

He and Iwakura looked at each other and nodded to each other.

The middle-aged man is named "Tatsushita". He is 35 years old this year. He is a Tosa native and is the confidant of Iwakura Koshi.

Because he is careful, decisive and ruthless, he is highly valued by Iwakura Hito.

In many cases, he assisted Iwakura Hitoshi as a "military advisor".

The middle-aged man...Yu Songcao said in a deep voice:
