Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo are extremely fast.
The moment Qingdeng finished speaking, the two of them jumped out.
The movements are smooth and fast, without any sloppiness.
One look showed that they were ready to go, waiting for Qingdeng to give orders.
It seems that what Qingteng said just now, "What a pity...if you can correct your mind, you can become a capable general" was the code for "the attack begins".
Qinghe Hachiro's reaction speed is not bad.
When Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo rushed towards him, he backed away reflexively, trying to distance themselves, and reached out to hold the knife.
However... at such a close distance, and facing two top swordsmen at the same time, unless Hachiman Daimyojin is present, his series of struggles are destined to be boiling water and making ice.
As soon as he grasped the handle of the knife with his front foot, his back foot was held down by two people.
"Kneel down!"
Genzaburo Inoue shouted sharply, stretched out his hand to restrain his shoulder, and at the same time stretched out a foot to trip his legs.
This veteran of the Imperial Examination Hall is not only proficient in swordsmanship, he is also an expert in Jiu-Jitsu.
His move directly knocked Qinghe Balang to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, he straddled him directly, twisted his hands behind his back, and used his own weight to suppress the opponent, making it difficult for him to move.
Qinghe Hachiro would not be captured just like that.
He struggled subconsciously, twisting his body like a loach, trying to shake off Genzaburo Inoue on his back.
"Be honest with me!"
Seeing this, Nagakura Shinpachi on the side took out the Banshu Sumi-Han Yamaji Shige from his waist with the sword sheathed, used the sword as a whip, and beat Kiyokawa Hachiro unceremoniously and wildly.
In the blink of an eye, Qinghe Hachiro's face turned blue and purple, swollen into a pig's head, and he was no longer as handsome as before.
"Huh! Huh! Huhhhhhhhhhh!"
After just screaming a few times, Qinghe Hachilang completely lost his will to resist and collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, panting like an ox.
He still held the knife tightly in his hand, and once Qinghe Hachiro started moving around again, he didn't mind making his face swell a little more.
"Wait, wait a minute! Wait a minute!"
Qinghe Hachiro raised his voice and said in a sharp voice.
He was suddenly summoned here, the strange atmosphere, Aomori's meaningful words, Hachiro Qinghe and Genzaburo Inoue pounced on him...all these factors were added up, and Hachiro Qinghe understood what was going on no matter how stupid he was.
This is the Hongmen Banquet!
——Am I exposed?!
——How is it possible! I am obviously so cautious?
——How much do they already know?
——Has my relationship with the Tosa Kin King Party been exposed?
Questions one after another passed through Qinghe Hachiro's mind like meteors.
Although he knew that something was wrong, he still argued hard with a sense of luck.
"Mr. Tachibana! Mr. Tachibana! What's going on?! Why are you treating me like this?!"
Snap... snap... snap... snap... snap...
Suddenly, Qinghe Balang heard slow and heavy footsteps coming from the front...
He raised his head with difficulty and raised his gaze - Aoto, Isamu Kondo and Toshizo Hijikata left their seats and walked straight towards him.
The three of them stood in a row, looking down from the perspective carved by Qinghe Hachilang, it looked like a row of majestic and daunting mountain peaks.
The light shone from behind Qingdeng and others, causing their faces to fall into relative darkness, making their facial features unclear, adding to the sense of majesty and oppression.
At the same time, Qingdeng's dark shadow was pulled out by the light and pressed squarely on Qinghe Hachiro's body.
It is obviously a formless shadow, but it seems to have become concrete when carved.
At this moment, Qinghe Hachiro felt as if there was a five-fingered mountain pressing down on him, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
His clever and flexible mind had already thought of a lot of excuses.
But... the moment he met Qingden's eyes, his mind felt as if it had been washed away by a storm. It was empty and he could not remember anything.
"... Qinghe Hachiro, to be honest, I admire your talent very much."
Qingdeng's tone was neither sad nor happy, and there was no expression on his face.
"Your literary talents, your knowledge, and your decisiveness are deeply appreciated by me."
"Once upon a time, I couldn't help but think: If you can change your ways, completely let go of your obsession with 'stealing the Shinsengumi', and work for me peacefully, I might as well give you a chance to show off your skills and become a Shinsengumi
The real adviser."
"What a pity...you are always stubborn and clinging to your unrealistic delusions."
"My good intentions were wasted."
"However, I still want to express a certain amount of gratitude to you."
"Anyway, you have indeed done a lot of practical things for the Shinsengumi and helped me a lot."
"And, thanks to your blessing, I was able to catch all the evil-minded people in the general."
Hearing this, Qinghe Hachiro opened his eyes suddenly as if he was struck by lightning, and the corners of his eyes were almost torn apart.
Catch all the evil-minded people in the general - he knows exactly what Qingdeng means by these words!
——Could it be that... not only me, but other comrades were also exposed?
——How is this possible...how is this possible!
——Why are we exposed?!
At this time when Qinghe Hachiro was shocked, Qingdeng's words were still continuing...but they were almost over.
"Qinghe Hachiro, thank you."
"Then...goodbye."
After saying that, Qingdeng didn't even look at him anymore.
He walked away, bypassing Qinghe Hachiro on the ground, and headed straight out of the room.
"Yong, I'll leave the rest to you."
Kondo Isamu nodded lightly:
"Yeah! Got it!"
The Metropolitan Police Bureau is the "gendarme" of the Shinsengumi, and it is its duty to maintain discipline within the team.
Qinghe Hachiro and his associates... let's call them the "Qinghe Party". The crime they committed was conspiring to rebel, which violated Article 5 of the Shinsengumi Code - those who betray and collaborate with the enemy will be punished on the spot!
Since it is a "civil disturbance", Kondo Isamu, the director of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, should be responsible for handling it both emotionally and logically.
Isamu Kondo raised his head and shouted:
"Come in!"
The next breath, four strong and powerful police officers rushed in through the door.
They took off the sword from Qinghe Balang's waist, then took out the hemp rope and tied it into a rice dumpling.
During this process, Qinghe Hachilang’s wailing never stopped:
"Mr. Tachibana! Wait! Wait! Mr. Tachibana! Please listen to my explanation!"
According to the provisions of the Shinsengumi Code, the most serious crimes within the Shinsengumi are "oppression of the people" and "treason and collaboration with the enemy."
If there are other crimes, such as "disobeying orders", "leaving the organization without authorization", "innocent internal fighting", the most they can do is "beheading in public".
But if you commit the two crimes mentioned above, there will be only one outcome - execution on the spot!
In other words, even the trial process is skipped, and you can directly slaughter them on the spot!
Since joining the Zunhang movement, he has had several brushes with death.
Whether he was founding the Tiger Tail Society or later planning unrest in Kyoto, he was lucky to escape in the end.
However...even if he couldn't believe it, he had to admit that he might not be able to replicate his previous luck this time...
At this moment, it was the first time in his life that he felt the oppression and fear of "imminent death".
The threat of death, the disillusionment of his ideals... under the double blow, he gradually lost his calm and seemed crazy.
The bun on his head fell off during the struggle, and his hair fell down.
Due to his emotional excitement, his cheeks glowed unnaturally red.
Also turning red were the whites of his eyes - the whites of his eyes were covered in earthworm-like red blood, which looked extremely horrifying.
"Mr. Tachibana, there must be some misunderstanding!"
"I have never done anything to feel sorry for the Shinsengumi!"
"Please give me the right to appeal!"
"Please!"
"Give me another chance!"
"I have shed blood for the Shinsengumi! I have been wounded for the Shinsengumi! I am innocent!"
His appearance at this time... to put it harshly, he looked like a puppy that had been abandoned by its owner, pitifully staring at its owner's back, hoping that the owner would change his mind.
It's a pity... Qingdeng left with great determination.
Until the moment Qingdeng's figure disappeared from his sight, Qingdeng did not look back at him.
…
…
In order to highlight the difference between Mefu and ordinary team members, the former have special costumes.
No matter when and where they are, the heads are always tied with a black forehead protector.
As a result, the Shinsengumi soldiers often used the word "black amount" to refer to their paychecks.
One of the daily tasks of the guards is to wander around the camp and check whether the soldiers' dress and behavior comply with the regulations.
Therefore, they are rarely seen moving in groups.
At the same time that Qinghe Hachilang was arrested, the inspectors of the Metropolitan Police Bureau made a rare and large-scale attack!
I saw them divided into small teams and rushing to various locations in the camp without stopping.
Training grounds, canteens, corridors, dormitories, toilets...
You can see the figures of gurus running back and forth everywhere.
The screams and shouts of the gurus can be heard everywhere.
"Koichi Tadokoro, you are under arrest!"
"Stone boat made! Let's capture him without any effort!"
"Don't run! Stop!"
"Boy, let me give you a piece of advice! Put the knife down quickly! If you persist in your persistence, we will fight back!"
…
There is no doubt that the target of the mafus is Qinghe Hachiro's accomplice!
The quick and covert actions of the mesukes caused most of the people to be knocked to the ground before they even recovered.
Although some people drew their swords to resist, their resistance was nothing more than shaking the tree, and they were quickly defeated easily by the mesuke who had a numerical advantage.
??????55.??????
Within a few moments, members of the "Qinghe Party" were escorted to jail.
Except for a very few people such as Kondo Isamu and Hijikata Toizan, the vast majority of people in the Shinsengumi did not know about the existence of the "Qinghe Party".
Therefore, today's large-scale operation by the Metropolitan Police Bureau has naturally aroused heated discussions among the majority of soldiers.
They looked at each other, whispered, and discussed what happened.
They won't discuss it for too long, because it won't take long for the truth to come out.
Under Qingdeng's instruction, Shannan Jingshu had already drafted a "Call for Clearing the River".
After Qinghe Hachiro is imprisoned, this memorandum will be announced to the entire army.
Qingden's praise of Qinghe Hachiro just now was not without purpose.
He really appreciates Qinghe Hachiro's talent.
Even though Qingdeng deliberately suppressed him, he was able to grow the "Qinghe Party" to nearly fifty people!
Whenever he thinks of this, Qingdeng can't help but feel regretful.
If Qinghe Hachiro can be loyal to him, this person has every chance to become his trusted general like Hijikata Toshizo and Shannan Keisuke.
What a pity... How can we allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed?
No matter how ambitious Qing Teng is, he will not allow a guy who is obsessed with "rebellion" to hold an important position under his command!
In less than half an hour, under the thunderous attack of the Metropolitan Police Bureau, the "Qinghe Party" was completely wiped out! No one was spared!
From now on, there will be no more "Qinghe Party" in the Shinsengumi!
…
…
Qingdeng was walking alone on the way back to his room.
Suddenly, a bright red figure suddenly appeared from behind him, quickly caught up with him, and walked side by side with him.
"Qingdeng, I'm back."
Kinoshita Mai called softly.
Seeing that Kinoshita Mai was back, Qingto gave a simple greeting and then asked directly:
"Awu, how is the situation?"
Kinoshita Mai replied:
"It went very smoothly. All the strongholds of Tosa Kinwang's party were cleared, and their members were either captured or executed, but..."
Speaking of this, Kinoshita Mai paused and changed into a solemn tone.
"We underestimated Okada Izo."
"He took the lead and fought to the death."
"In the end, he was actually allowed to take Wushi Banpingtai to break through the siege and escape to heaven."
Qingdeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Oh? They actually escaped? They are quite capable."
"It seems that Okada Izo is stronger than I expected."
"Forget it, let them survive for a while longer."
"Anyway, all roads leading to and from Kyoto have been blocked by us."
"Even if they have great abilities, they can't escape."
Kinoshita Mai duly added:
"Miss Okita's first team, Serizawa Kamo's fourth team, and Shinami Nishiki's fifth team are urgently hunting them down."
"At present, their approximate location has been locked and the encirclement is being continuously tightened."
"It probably won't take long to capture them and bring them to justice."
Qingdeng nodded lightly and said casually, "Well done."
After buying off Tori Taro Ikeda, an important confidant of Hachiro Kiyokawa, with ten thousand taels of gold, Aoto gained an irreplaceable and important source of information.
As far as the results are concerned, Tortaro Ikeda did a great job.
He knew very well that he had no way to turn back, either his identity would be revealed and he would die, or he would bite the bullet and go all the way to the dark side.
Therefore, he worked extra hard.
He continuously passed on the core information of Qinghe Party and Tosa Qinwang Party to Qingteng.
Thanks to his help, Seito was able to learn the specific list of the Qinghe Party and the specific locations of the various strongholds of the Tosa Kinou Party.
Qingden originally planned to slowly deal with these two potential major threats when the time is more mature.
As a result, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Yamauchi Church suddenly backstabbed the Tosa Kin-King Party, asking all forces to cut off assistance to the Tosa Kin-King Party, and requested all forces to assist Tosa in suppressing this rebel party.
In this way, Seito gained the great cause of annihilating Tosa Kin's faction.
In this case, there is no need to wait any longer!
Not only can the Qinghe Party and the Tosa Kinou Party be wiped out in a legitimate way, but they can also sell Yamauchi Do a favor, so why not do it.
The strength of the Tosa Domain cannot be underestimated, and it is a "swinging domain" that oscillates between "Samu" and "Zunbo".
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to win the favor of Tosa Domain and sell Yamauchido a favor.
In this way, Seito secretly summoned his cronies headed by Hijikata Toshizo last night and announced the battle plan to "annihilate the Qinghe Party and the Tosa Kinou Party".
Although it was very urgent and rushed, the operation deployment was successfully completed in the end.
In just one day, the Qinghe Party and the Tosa Kinou Party were wiped out with the force of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves!
Although Takeichi Hanheita and Okada Izo are still on the run, because Seito has sealed off the entire Kyoto in advance, they are now turtles in a urn and cannot escape. It is only a matter of time before they are caught.
At this time, Qingden seemed to have remembered something. After pondering for a moment, he abruptly asked Kinoshita Mai:
"Awu, the general secretary and the others have found the approximate location of Banping Tai and Renzhan Yizang in Takeshi, right?"
Kinoshita Mai immediately replied:
"Well, yes. The two of them acted together."
"Where are they now?"
"Near Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Nakutō."
"..."
Qingdeng pondered to himself, not knowing what he was thinking about.
…
…
Rakutō, in a forest outside Kiyomizu Temple——
"Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...! Huh...!"
Okada Izo held his hands on the tree trunk at hand, breathing heavily "hoo", "hoo", "hoo".
This heavy, rapid breathing sounds like rough gravel will be sprayed out at any time.
Hanheita Takeichi sat on the big rock next to him, his head drooped, his expression numb, and without any energy at all.
In order to cover Takeshi Hanheita's escape, Okada Izo and others all risked their lives, wielding their swords and fighting selflessly.
Okada Izo is worthy of being a swordsman who is known as "Izo who kills people".
His firm belief in "defending Teacher Wushi to the death" enabled him to unleash a fighting force that was far beyond ordinary.
Even the tried-and-tested Yuanyang Formation can hardly defeat it.
He forcibly tore a small hole in the Shinsengumi's encirclement net, allowing Takeichi Hanheita to escape from the encirclement.
Although they achieved their intended goal,... the price they paid was not unbearable.
At this moment, the only person who is still with Takeshi Hanheita is Okada Izo...
"Teacher Wu Shi, let's take a short break..."
After that, Okada Izo collapsed to the ground, lying in a "big" shape, greedily sucking in the air to restore as much energy as possible.
Takeichi Hanheita silently squinted his eyes, glanced at Okada Izo, and said coldly:
"...Yizang, please leave me alone and escape for your own life."
His words were like a surge of electricity, making Okada Izo tremble all over.
"How can that be done!"
Okada Izo sat up and said seriously with excitement:
"Teacher Wu Shi, you are my benefactor!"
"It is because of your digging and cultivation that I can be where I am today!"
"Otherwise, I would still be a puddle of mud that no one cares about to this day."
Speaking of this, Okada Izo paused for a while, and then continued with deep affection:
"I don't have much knowledge...I don't even know a few Chinese characters..."
"While other comrades were analyzing world affairs, I had nothing else to do except sit by and stare."
"Other comrades look down on me... and think I am a reckless man who is incompetent."
"Only you, teacher, are different!"
"You discovered my swordsmanship!"
"You cultivated me!"
“And it also found me the perfect job for me!”
Having said this, Okada Izo clenched his fists and his eyes gradually became determined.
"Others call me a murderer and a murderer... I don't care about other people's comments or insults!"
"I only know that swordsmanship is everything to me!"
"I only know that the teacher is my benefactor!"
"From the moment I joined the Tosa Kin-King Party, I made an oath: I will definitely become your teacher's sword! Cut off all thorns for you!"
"For this reason, I am willing to kill people! I am willing to take over all the dirty and tiring work!"
"Even if I'm called a 'human killer', I won't hesitate even if I pay for it with my life!"
"So, teacher, don't say things like 'Run away and leave me alone' anymore."
"I will never escape until you escape from Kyoto and are completely safe!"
Takeichi Hanheita stared at Okada Izo blankly - a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
He opened his mouth, as if ready to say something.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth——
"Takeichi Hanheita, Okada Izo, come out quickly, I know you are here, don't make any unnecessary struggles."
A clear male voice suddenly came from outside the woods.
Okada Izo didn't recognize this boy.
But Wu Shi Hanping Tai is too familiar.
This is Qingdeng’s voice!

In fact, I have always felt that Okada Izo is one of the character prototypes of Himura Kenshin.
Because the ending of Okada Izo...forget it, I won’t talk about it anymore, let’s read on slowly.
