"Are you going to kill Ii Naoki?" Hiko Seijuro asked in surprise.
"I feel uneasy if he doesn't die. I suspect that everything from the first time I was assassinated by a ninja to the later forcing me to compete with Chiba Shu was all his conspiracy." Kazuyo Sorayama has no evidence to prove that Naomi Ii is the mastermind behind the scenes.
, but based on his experiences over the past few years and Sanai's analysis of the top officials of the shogunate, they all vaguely point to this guy.
Even regardless of the past grievances, as long as Arii Naoki exists for one day, Sorayama Kazuha will always be on tenterhooks, worried about assassins from all sides. After all, the resources that the shogunate boss can mobilize with the backing of a country are too huge. With the current strength of the two of them,
The struggle will not end until one side of the conflict dies completely.
Katsura Kogoro was excited when he heard Sorayama Kazuha's plan. Ii Naoki can be said to be the biggest executioner of the patriots in Japan who strive to respect the king and fight the barbarians. Although the Ansei Prison in history will still be a few years later, due to the influence of Sorayama Kazuha
, the activities of overthrowing the feudal clans were much larger and more intense than the normal historical scale. Ii Naomi was also merciless in killing people. Many famous figures were killed or imprisoned, and no less than a thousand people with lofty ideals died directly or indirectly in his hands.
, no one wants to kill him quickly!
"Teacher, let's go together! I know Edo much better than you and Hiko-sama, and he can't escape with me!" Sorayama Kazuha hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Let's go back first. We have rescued you and killed him.
Then there is no need to rush."
The three of them hurried back in a very relaxed mood, but the appearance of groups of government officials interrupted their return journey. At this time, not all the corpses on the ground had been removed, and the smell of blood on the street was still pungent, and the three of them melted into each other.
He entered the crowd of onlookers and looked at the scene carefully. "The people who killed them were good at martial arts. The wounds on the bodies were smooth, and there were no other wounds except fatal wounds. They were all cut off with one knife. It seems that there are no less than ten dead, and there should be more than this number of injured."
."
Katsura Kogoro looked a little solemn: "Teacher, the clothes on these corpses are the family crests of Ii's retainers. A fight of this scale... It seems that Ii Naomi was sent by him..." "What did you say? Ii?!"
Ichiyo Sorayama had a cold war in his heart. Higu who was standing beside him seemed to have remembered something, and stared at Katsura Kogoro with a changed expression.
"That's right! They are all descendants of Jingyi's family tree. I have dealt with some of them before, and their martial arts are not weak."
Kazuyo Sorayama and Hiko looked at each other, their expressions changed greatly, they quickly turned around and pushed through the crowd, running towards the dormitory. Upon seeing this, Katsura Kogoro hurriedly followed, and he suddenly remembered that this was where the teacher and the others were originally hiding.
The reason? Ms. Nasana and Lord Hiko’s apprentice...
With his explosive speed, Ichiha Sorayama no longer cares about the problem of exposing his whereabouts. The closer he is to his destination, the heavier his heart becomes.
Ever since I met Naomi Ii, I seemed to be in a good position, but in fact I was walking on thin ice and did not dare to be careless. When the other party just said a casual word while sitting in Edo, I had to hide in all directions; I sent out a few retainers at will, and I was seriously injured.
, almost being plotted. Faced with endless means, he could only run for his life again and again, which shows how cunning and ruthless the opponent is. This kind of opponent cannot give him any opportunity to take advantage of. Just like this time, he was immediately killed by Ii Naobi if he was careless.
Seizing the loophole, wouldn't it be a big joke if one was rescued and three were trapped?
The most important thing is that if he really can't save Kogoro, he can give up and avenge him in the future. But no matter who gets into trouble with Sana or Kiriko, he will not be able to bear the pain. Unknowingly, he has already
These two women regarded them as their own family. As for Kenshin, although he didn't care about the child's life or death, Hiko's attitude towards Kenshin was even greater than his attitude towards the two girls. Hiko almost gave up everything to come and help him.
, once his disciple dies, how should he face his only friend? Naomi Ii, I, Kazuha Sorayama, swear that if anything happens to any of the three of them, I will not leave the Ii family without killing the Ii family!
The more confused his heart became, the colder his face became. Murderous aura erupted almost uncontrollably, as if time and space were frozen. Even the flying cherry blossoms were briefly frozen in the air, making Bi Guan, who was worried about his apprentice, palpitating. It turned out that this was the moment.
Is this the true strength of being an Shura? A normal swordsman would stop breathing when faced with this level of murderous intent. How does Kongshan suppress this guy on a daily basis? It seems that his swordsmanship is far beyond what he usually shows.
So simple!
"Korayama!" A tired cry made the two of them stop. Kiriko appeared from a shadow with Kenshin on her back. Her face, which was always expressionless, looked particularly excited.
Her condition was not very good. Although she successfully escaped from the siege, several wounds on her body were too late to be treated. She had to hide with her sword and her physical strength was almost exhausted. However, she still chose to hide nearby and wait for Sorayama Kazuha for the third time.
Pass the information on at once.
Seeing that even though Kenshin was unconscious, his breathing was steady and there was no damage on his body, Hiko breathed a sigh of relief, took Kenshin from Kiriko's back, supported the shaky girl and said: "Your injury is not serious, you need..."
Wuzi waved her hand, indicating that she should finish her sentence first: "Zonai held off more than fifty samurai alone in order to escape for us, and was finally captured after exhaustion. Kongshan, go and save her!"
Kazuyo Sorayama, who had not heard the worst outcome, felt relieved and immediately asked: "What was her condition at that time?" "I couldn't see clearly from the distance. I only saw that she had been stabbed several times and fell to the ground, but she was caught.
I can still struggle sometimes.”
"It seems that the news has been leaked for a long time. Ii Naobi has no confidence in attacking this place, so this bastard should have sent people to arrest the family members while the teacher saved me. It is too despicable and shameless!" Katsura Kogoro analyzed the cause of the incident in an instant, even if he himself
After being rescued, he can still threaten Teacher Kongshan with another hostage. This old thief is really good at calculating.
Katsura Kogoro's guess was not wrong. Ii Naomi had indeed known the whereabouts of Sorayama Kazuha and the others for a long time. However, judging from Sorayama Kazuha's past performance, he should have sensed the dispatch of a large force for encirclement and suppression, and then calmly escaped, and then
Change to a more secluded hiding place; and if the number of people dispatched is small, the sword skills of Sorayama Kazuha and Hiko Seijuro are not enough to kill them, so they have been holding back and only sent people to monitor this place. Once Sorayama Kazuha
As soon as he left, he immediately sent someone to arrest him.
But what he didn't expect was that fifty samurai were dispatched, more than thirty people were killed or injured, and only one was captured in the end. Seeing Sana covered in blood, Ii Naomi pushed her hair aside and smiled: "Miss Chiba family
, it’s been a long time, I didn’t expect that the beauty who was famous in Edo in the past would elope with a ronin like this, and she wouldn’t be afraid of bringing shame on her family?”
Sanai stared coldly at Ii Naobi without the slightest fear, and sneered weakly: "The dignified shogunate actually hijacked the family of his opponent and did such a thing with your status. Who in the world will laugh at you?"
"Let them laugh all they want. I, Naobi Ii, have been in power for thirty years and have already been slandered all over the world. How can I care about this?"
"I want to know how you found us?"
"You idiots, where do you think Edo is? Ever since Hiko Seijuro showed up at Sensoji Temple, I knew you must be nearby. I sent someone to investigate, and sure enough I learned that there was a person with crimson hair in the temple the night before.
The young child was taken away by Miss Chiba and a man. On the same day, I sent people to search nearby hotels, restaurants, and commercial houses, and soon found your traces."
"Then you were afraid of my husband and Higu-san's martial arts, so you kept silent until your husband showed up to rescue you. Only then did you dare to send people to arrest us women and children. A shameless person like you is not worthy of being my husband's opponent!"
Ii Naobiki was furious, grabbed the girl's hair, forced Sanai to raise her head, and roared: "Opponent?! How can a mere Sorayama Kazuha be my opponent? He can kidnap Katsura Kogoro in prison because of the guards in the prison
No, this time I will see how he kidnaps his beloved woman from my Jing Yi family!"
He ordered the attendants: "Give her some treatment. Don't let her die so quickly. I want you to see the decapitation of Ichiyo Sora with your own eyes, and then I will send you to reunite underground."
