The blade of the sword flashed with cold light, the seat was cut in two, eyes facing each other, the warrior fought to the death without retreating.
Okita Sougo has never been so serious. He has long forgotten how long it has been since he experienced such a tense life and death fight. This is not only about himself, but also about the life of the team leader. He must not lose. Although the continuous wheel battle has consumed a lot of physical strength.
, but he tried his best to hide his weakness.
In battles between masters, especially this kind of life-and-death struggle, any detail will change the outcome of the battle.
The narrow carriage, the obstructive corpse, and the dense sword skills. Ito Kamotaro keenly felt that Okita Sougo's sword power was not as good as before. Knowing that the opponent's physical strength was huge and his mental strength was beginning to be unsustainable, he said: "You
You will die here. If you work hard enough, you won't be like this. But you insist on pretending to be lazy in front of others, and you don't know what the point is. Don't you know that you are wasting your own time?"
Okita Sougo finally said: "Uncles like you don't understand at all, because that's cool. It's like a classmate who studies very well. He is obviously playing all the time, but he studies hard in secret and always maintains excellent grades. Such a classmate
Everyone thinks he is cool and awesome."
"Haha, what a naive idea. You can only maintain your ranking among a group of mediocre people. When compared with real geniuses, this kind of pretense is just a waste of time. And I do it day and night, regardless of the people in front of me.
Everyone is working hard, and my talent is no worse than yours." "You must be thinking about continuing the conversation now so that you can recover your strength. You are thinking too much." Ito Kamotaro made a noise and raised his sword.
.
Okita Sougo felt bitter in his heart. Hijikata Jushiro was not here at this time. What on earth was that bastard doing?
Although Okita Sougo usually always sneaks up on Hijikata Jushiro and wants to replace him, but at critical times, he still hopes that Hijikata Jushiro can come to help because he is reliable. It is precisely because of his reliability that he originally hoped that his sister
Can have a fate with each other.
But Hijikata Jushiro chose to come to Edo instead of becoming the Okita family's son-in-law, and he let down his sister's feelings. That's why Okita Sougo targeted Jushiro. In fact, it was not that he disliked him, but that he was unworthy of his sister.
.
It would be good to stay in the countryside and become a live-in son-in-law. Okita Sougo's family is also a landowner, while Hijikata Jushiro is from a humble family. Marrying a daughter of the Okita family is already a high achievement for Hijikata Jushiro.
But Hijikata Jushiro didn't want to do this, and resolutely put down his feelings, came to Oedo, and followed Kondo Isao to achieve his career. However, becoming the deputy leader of the Shinsengumi is actually nothing, because the Shinsengumi only belongs to the great nobles.
Armed forces are not really state armed forces.
It can even be said that the shogunate does not have any national armed forces. The shogun's army belongs to the shogun and the nobles' army belongs to the nobles. As an armed force, the Shinsengumi does not belong to the shogun or the shogunate, but to the Matsudaira family.
This is feudalism.
If it is a marriage with the Okita family, the Okita family also has factions, but his family is not capable of cultivating its own armed forces.
In short, Hijikata Jushiro chose to go to the city instead of staying in the country to become a son-in-law.
Despite such grudges, Okita still hoped that Hijikata Jushiro could come to help at the critical moment.
Isao Kondo has been standing aside with a serious expression. It's not that he doesn't participate in the battle, but that he can't bear to attack his companions. He knows that all this is because he didn't handle it well. He can only unite one person, but cannot unite everyone.
This is because your work is not done properly, and it is your own fault.
How can you kill a rebel because of your own fault? Isao Kondo can't do that.
Clinking, clanking, sword-blade clashing, sparks flying, in this age of the universe, they are dueling with cold weapons, the arc of the sword tip is like a fairy's water sleeve, revealing the elegance and beauty of death.
Okita Sougo has wounds on his body and is really in trouble because of his lack of physical strength. Although he is already very strong, he is still a human being after all.
At this time, the ghost soldiers also began to use plan B to complete the final assassination.
Although Takasugi Shinsuke is already preparing to retreat, since plan B is ready, let's use it.
"Save our clan leader, kill!" At the critical moment, Hijikata Jushiro suddenly came out with the Shinsengumi and fought with the Ghost Soldiers to stop the Ghost Soldiers' plan.
Let the team members fight the ghost soldiers. Hijikata Jushiro drives the flying police car, catches up with the train, jumps into the carriage, and makes a beautiful appearance!
Standing in the carriage, Hijikata Jushiro did not draw his sword immediately, but elegantly lit a cigarette, as if the next step was not a hard fight, but fishing time at work.
He blew out a smoke ring deeply, looked at Ito Kamotaro with sharp eyes, and said: "Don't think you can drive me away with some conspiracy. Your conspiracy with the Ghost Soldiers has been thwarted by us. Surrender.
You can still stand trial with dignity like a samurai."
If you fail, you will definitely have to commit seppuku. You must not lose. If you lose, you will be doomed. The hope of the entire family will be destroyed. You cannot lose, you must not lose.
It's really annoying, Hijikata Jushiro is really an eyesore.
Both of them are from poor families. Ito Kamotaro thought that he was no better than the other, but it turned out that he was always inferior to the other. It can only be said that the real selection team did not recognize talents.
boom!
At this moment, the carriage suddenly broke apart, and it was the ghost soldiers who used cannons.
Ito Kamotaro was unprepared, and he flew out. His mortal body was thrown out of the carriage, and he would definitely be shattered into pieces. At this moment, he still didn’t understand why the ghost army suddenly attacked the train. Didn’t they know that he was still in the car? They
Not a companion?
Just when he felt he was going to die, Isao Kondo caught him regardless of past suspicions and saved the assassin who assassinated him.
Ito Kamotaro was stunned and completely confused. The Ghost Soldiers, whom he considered to be his companions, did not care about his own life or death. Isao Kondo, whom he considered an enemy, rescued him regardless of the danger. What was going on?
"Why did you save me?"
"Aren't we companions?" Kondo Isao said, "The people in the Shinsengumi are all companions that I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect!" Actions should be used instead of words.
There is nothing more exciting than action. At this time, Ito Kamotaro finally realized that he already had a companion, but before he thought Kondo Isao was just talking.
But now Kondo Isao's act of sacrificing his life to save others proves that he doesn't just talk, but actually implements his ideas.
This is a companion.
Dulan said he was really touched. Kondo Isao's idea of companionship led to civil strife, and because the idea of companionship can end civil strife, the problem is that this back and forth resulted in many sacrifices?
"It's like a test of loyalty between a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Although the other party's loyalty was proved in the end, a lot of harm was caused." Duran said: "It is very difficult to prove whether the other party's words and deeds are consistent. So there is still a need.
Rules and regulations ensure that anyone who violates public opinion will be punished, thus reducing sacrifices and costs."
Shinsuke Takasugi was also a little impressed: "Isao Kondo is indeed a samurai. In this era, a real man can be consistent in his words and deeds." Although they are enemies, they are all samurai, which does not prevent him from admiring Isao Kondo.
Du Lan said: "Those members of the True Selection Team who were beaten to death have something to say. Are they not companions? Are they becoming expendable?"
Takasugi Shinsuke was speechless, who cares about these dead people? Everyone is dead, no one cares.
Duran needs to criticize him carefully. If Kondo Isao really regards everyone as his partners, he should kill Ito Kamotaro to avenge his dead companions.
