The flames in the fire pit burned quietly, reflecting on the sweaty bodies of Yukidaiba and Kenshin, giving them a layer of gorgeous pink.
The two of them were half-covered with quilts and cuddled together, feeling each other's skin and body temperature, as if they were still immersed in the supreme happiness just now.
Xuedaba never thought that such a day would come, and it would come so suddenly. Since the death of her fiancé, the only motivation that kept her alive was to kill Battousai for revenge, but now she was lying in the arms of her enemy... She was also delighted.
Tortured by guilt and guilt, I don’t know how to continue my life in the future.
I heard Kenshin sigh: "Tomoe, I remember you once said, 'There is no happiness in the world by killing people.' What you said is right. But... I think I will continue to kill people in the future.
Until the new era comes, if one day I really do it, I will look for a way to protect others without killing people, a way to protect the happiness of everyone I see, and a way to make up for my sins.
With you by my side, I will definitely be able to put down the sword, Ba... your happiness will be protected by me!"
"Hi!" Xuedaba opened his eyes wide and leaned closely against Jian Xin. The balance in his heart slowly tilted towards joy...
It was not yet bright, Yukidaiba packed up his belongings, looked at Kenshin's sleeping face, and wanted to touch him, but he still controlled his hand by force, gritted his teeth, and turned around to leave.
With the morning sun shining on his face, Kenshin felt a little reluctant to open his eyes as he felt the faint fragrance of white plums hanging around him. But suddenly, Kenshin felt something was wrong and sat up suddenly, "Ba...ba!" He said
Ignoring getting dressed, I looked around eagerly, and found a blue scarf on the floor beside me - it was Xuedaiba's, and a letter.
He hurriedly opened it, and a scent of Xuedaba's unique white plum body fragrance came to his face. He saw that it read: "You are the person who once took away my happiness, but... you are also the person who made me happy again. I long for it."
I live a plain and happy life with you, but I still can't forgive myself, and I can't face you. Maybe I am really a woman who always brings misfortune... If you successfully create a new era and find the
I still haven’t forgotten that path of protecting others without killing people. Then maybe we can really... Goodbye, my second beloved, goodbye... husband."
"Ba..." He hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed out of the house. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Iizuka's familiar face appearing in front of him, saying words that surprised him but did not panic: "We found out who the traitor is.
It’s Ba.”
Iizuka looked puzzled at Kenshin's slightly changed expression, but continued: "His accomplices are in the temple on the nearby mountain, and Tomoe will probably be there too... Deal with them!"
Jian Xin remained indifferent.
Iizuka frowned, the situation seemed to be out of control. While thinking about what went wrong, he continued: "I have evidence! Diary, her diary records a lot, the man who hurt your left cheek
…”
"It's her fiancé." Kenshin said calmly.
"This... you, how do you know!" Iizuka couldn't help but take a step back and said in surprise, but his eyes were secretly looking around, as if looking for traces of Yukidaiba, and as if planning an escape route.
"Last night, she told me personally." Kenshin said coldly as he entered the room.
Seeing that Kenshin did not suspect that he was an accomplice, Iizuka was greatly relieved. There was a serious accident in the plan. He wanted to rush to inform the ninjas on the mountain as soon as possible, but if he turned around and left now, his exposure would be almost inevitable. He wasn't sure if he could escape Kenshin's pursuit.
He bravely followed Kenshin into the house, lit a pot of dry smoke and asked calmly: "What are you going to do now?"
Kenshin Wuxin talks to Iizuka. What he wants to do now is to catch up with his lover! But before that, there is one thing that needs to be done - if they do not kill all the ninjas on the mountain, they will definitely not let go of betrayal in the future. Their Xuedaba siblings.
Iizuka silently watched Kenshin carefully inserting the long sword Wakashi into his waist. Battosai, the executioner who terrified the shogunate, came back to the world! The difference is that before Kenshin killed people, he forcibly suppressed himself for the mission. In my heart, this killing was for protection!
The same murderous intent, but Iizuka, who has worked with Kenshin for a long time, can clearly feel the difference in Kenshin. In addition to being stronger, there seems to be more determination?!
Finally, he put on the scarf Yukiyoba left for him. Kenshin ignored Iizuka who was sitting on the floor and opened the door. His petite figure faced the wind and snow, which actually gave people an indestructible feeling.
"It takes a year of planning, but it's not as good as a woman confiding in one night... It seems that it has completely failed." Iizuka said to himself: "It's not a good place to stay here for a long time. It seems that I have to make plans early." At that time, Iizuka left in a hurry with no intention of reminding him. In his eyes, those ninjas were already dead. In broad daylight, he was caught off guard and faced a swordsman who was more terrifying than before. The outcome was already doomed!
A tall and thin ninja pulled back his face mask and chewed snow to prevent the heat of his breath from being sensed. In such a cold situation, even the best ninja at hiding had to move his hands and feet from time to time, otherwise he would not be able to use them. How long does it take before you are frozen to death? Once you find a target, you need to completely integrate your whole body into the environment before attacking, even if your face and stomach are cramped by the ice and snow!
Kenshin could already faintly see the temple hidden behind the woods, but he still moved forward steadily without any impatience. Although he did not see the enemy, countless killing experiences and superb swordsmanship skills told him that There is a crisis waiting for you in this seemingly quiet forest.
He stopped and observed the environment carefully. Although he didn't have much experience fighting against ninjas, the teachings of his master, Hiko Seijuro, were deeply imprinted in his mind.
"You have to remember that ninjas are best at taking advantage of the environment. It can be said that more than half of their combat effectiveness lies in layout and ambush. It is best not to rashly enter the environment they have arranged in advance when fighting against ninjas. If you have to choose to fight, then your You must observe carefully with your eyes, observe anything that makes you feel discordant, and then believe in your heart and believe that your sword can cut through everything!"
Although I don't know where you are hiding specifically, Tomoe said that in addition to the chain knife ninja who was killed by me in Kyoto, she also saw four people, a leader and three subordinates. If the leader is waiting for her in the temple , then there are at least three people ambushed in this small forest...
Ninjas are also human beings, so they cannot lie down on the ground and freeze. Do they dig up rocks and hide them in caves? No, no matter how well hidden they are, they will generate heat once they breathe, which will inevitably destroy their concealment. In this case,
, in addition to making fixed traps, should they hide behind trees, or on trees... I see...
Kenshin walked into the woods, and the distance between his steps began to become smaller and smaller. At this moment, a subtle sound of breaking through the air came from behind!
"Have you started to test the attack?" Kenshin turned sideways and easily dodged the slender sleeve arrows fired. The attack was not over but just the beginning. He felt the skin on his back tighten slightly, although he did not hear the sound of footsteps.
But this is the body's natural reaction to the sharp blade.
Kenshin drew his sword and turned around, using the back of the sword to deflect the opponent's blade. At the same time, he shook the sword enough to stab the masked ninja in the throat! When a swordsman of Kenshin's level was wary, he would have not launched a fatal attack at the first opportunity.
But if it is a temptation, the result is already determined.
The agile ninja drew his sword and retreated, but he was a little confused when he saw that Kenshin had turned away. It was not until a wave of heat came from his neck that was numb from the ice and snow that he had swallowed alive that he realized that his throat had been pierced by that slight piercing!
All the arrangements didn't even have time to start. The ninja knelt down unwillingly, but could no longer move even that much.
There was a sound of a body hitting the ground behind him. Kenshin ignored it and continued to walk forward. This ninja's swordsmanship was not worth mentioning, not to mention compared to Okita Souji, even if any leader of the Shinsengumi could do this again.
He can easily kill him countless times. No wonder he has to go to great lengths to use Yukitoba to deal with him. If they are all of this kind, he may still have a chance to catch her...
