Chapter 648 Capture and kill Ogata Yasushi and Heavenly Punishment, Human Punishment, Legal Punishment [5200]
Zhizhou nagged for a long time before finally "letting go" Isshikihua.
After leaving the utility room with a secret passage together with Isshiki Ka, Naoshu seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly turned his head and said to Isshiki Ka:
"Xiaohua, I almost forgot to tell you."
"Tonight evening, I am going to attend a 'talk' with your father. Do you want to come with me?"
"'Talk'..." Isshikika frowned slightly, "Will Danjiro participate in tonight's 'Talk'?"
"Well, Lord Danjiro will also participate in tonight's 'talk'."
"Then I won't go." Isshikihua replied without hesitation.
"Xiaohua..." Naoshu looked helpless, "Why do you hate Lord Danjiro so much?"
"I should have told you, grandpa, right? I hate men like Danjiro who want to soak in Yukaku every day." Isshikika's brows furrowed even more tightly at this time.
"Danjiro-sama is indeed a bit lustful, but this is not an intolerable shortcoming. Many important people are lustful."
"Except for the small flaw of being a bit lecherous, Danjiro-sama is an extremely outstanding man in every aspect."
"Although he is just a commoner who doesn't even have a last name, he has a magnanimity that even I can't help but admire..."
Before Zhizhou finished speaking, Isshikihua interrupted Zhizhou's words:
"Okay, grandpa. No matter how outstanding Danjiro-sama is in other aspects, in short, I just hate this kind of frequent traveler."
"You and your father can attend tonight's 'talk'. I won't go."
"Okay..." Zhi Zhou scratched the hair on the back of his head, "If you don't want to participate, then forget it."
"You might as well stay home tonight."
"Since you plan to stay home tonight, let me give you a task."
"Xiaohua, you should concentrate on learning calligraphy from your mother tonight."
"Shu Dao?" Xiaohua frowned again, "Why?"
"There is no special reason, I just want you to be more like a child of the Wu family." Zhi Zhouyi glanced at Sehua with a somewhat dissatisfied look, "You should also know how bad your calligraphy is.
Bar?"
The expression on Isshikihua's face froze with embarrassment.
"As a child of the Wu family, you must at least have the ability to write well." Zhizhou continued, "Otherwise, when you get married, your ugly handwriting will most likely attract the attention of your husband's family.
laugh."
"I was too indulgent towards you before, I have to be stricter with you now."
After hearing Naoshu mention the words "get married", the corners of Isshikika's eyes twitched.
"...Grandpa, you really have never forgotten my marriage."
"Of course, after all, I don't want to watch my granddaughter turn into an old woman that no one wants."
Zhizhou said calmly.
"You should also know, right? There are already many families that I have seen very much, but just because you are 21 years old this year, they just wave their hands and don't want a girl of such an age to be their daughter-in-law."
"...I think it doesn't matter even if I can't get married for the rest of my life." Isshikihua flattened her red lips, "I love swordsmanship. Even if I am alone, as long as I have swordsmanship by my side, I can live a happy life.
happy."
"Hmph!" As soon as Isseyka finished speaking, Naozhou snorted heavily, with a look of displeasure on his face, "Stop saying such stupid things."
After saying that, Zhizhou paused.
After a moment of silence, he continued:
"...I originally wanted to wait a few days before mentioning this to you."
"But I'd better tell you this now."
"Half a month ago, through the introduction of a friend, I found a very good hero, the eldest son of the Nara White Elephant Hall: Arima Soun."
"I have already had contact with this Arima Soun. He is indeed an outstanding hero."
"He has a good family background, good conversational skills, good looks, and the right age. He is exactly 20 years old this year, and his parents don't mind that their son marries a 21-year-old wife."
"I intend for you to meet him in the summer at the latest."
"I think you will like Arima Soun. After all, he is your type. I have seen his swordsmanship with my own eyes."
"He is worthy of being the eldest son of the famous Nara family Hakushokan. His swordsmanship is impeccable and he is definitely outstanding among his peers. Give him another 1 or 2 years and he will probably be able to reach the level of Hakushuden."
Naoshu was chatting there and did not notice Isshiki Hana walking behind him, whose expression showed obvious impatience and boredom from just now.
"Are you going behind my back again to find such a so-called outstanding hero..." Isshikika muttered in a volume that only she could hear clearly.
Naoshu continued to introduce the excellence of this "Arima Soun" to Isshikika.
He didn't know that his words would sound like the hum of a mosquito to Yi Sehua's ears.
The look of impatience and boredom on Isshikihua's face became increasingly intense.
Then... Isshikihua's lips and tongue seemed to suddenly have a consciousness of their own, and started to move on their own:
"...No matter how good he is, can he still be better than Ittousai?"
Just after saying this, Issekika raised her hand to cover her mouth, lowered her eyes, and looked at her lips that had just subconsciously moved in surprise.
Naoshu, who was walking in front of Isshiki Hana, also stopped at this time, turned around, and looked at Isshiki Hana in disbelief.
"...Xiaohua." Zhizhou's face slowly darkened at this time, "I...should have reminded you that I will not let my daughter be someone else's concubine. Let alone Ittosai, even if it is
Neither can the Emperor."
Before Naoshu finished speaking, Isshikihua, who had a complicated look on her face, pursed her lips hard, then turned around and ran towards the stairs not far away without saying a word.
"Xiaohua! Xiaohua!" Naoshu shouted as he chased Isshikika's back.
No matter how he shouted, Isshikihua had no intention of stopping.
Seeing Isshiki Hana's figure disappearing from his eyes as she climbed to the second floor, Naoshu sighed heavily:
"What a worrying child..."

Osaka, Shinmachi, Nanakaya
Ding~rang~
The current number one artist in Osaka: Hatsumi, is sitting in her practice room with her eyes half closed and playing the piano with both hands.
Suddenly there was a strange noise from the ceiling above Chu Guang's head.
Then, with a soft "click" sound, a panel on the ceiling above Chu Guang's head was moved away, and a black shadow plummeted down from the ceiling, landing steadily in front of Chu Guang.
"...Shibata, what's the matter?" Chu Guang stopped playing the piano with both hands.
The person who suddenly appeared in front of Hatsumi was none other than Hatsumi's bodyguard: Shibata.
"Miss Hatsumi." Shibata put his hand into his arms and fumbled for something, "There are new orders."
After that, Shibata took out a piece of paper folded as wide as two thumbs from his arms and presented it to Hatsumi with both hands.
Chu Guang took the letter and unfolded it, looking at the ten lines at a glance.
There wasn't much written in this letter, and Chu Guang read it all in one go.
After finishing reading, Hatsumi handed the letter paper back to Shibata.
"...Shibata. Burn it. Then go down and get ready. There are important tasks to be carried out tonight."
Hatsumi put aside the shamisen in her arms, and then stretched hard with a tired look on her face.
"Tonight... we will make a formal plan to capture Shura."
"Capture...Shura...?" Shibata, with a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, swallowed hard, "...Miss Hatsumi, I don't understand a bit."
"After Shura conquered Nijo Castle in Kyoto, didn't Toyotomi-sama always want to take him as his own?"
"In order to find Ogata Ittosai, we did not hesitate to mobilize most of the Iga ninja's combat power to search for him."
"Why do you suddenly want to kill Shura now?"
"Who knows." Chu Guang curled his lips, "That guy... is a pervert with a brain problem. It would be strange if you could understand the pervert's thoughts."
"We... can we capture Shura..." Shibata muttered, "That is a monster that can defeat even ten thousand shogunate troops..."
"If you play with swords and knives, it will naturally be extremely difficult to compete with that Shura."
"But that pervert Toyotomi Nobuhide... what he lacks the most is this."
Chu Guang made a shooting motion.
"and this."
Then, use your mouth to make onomatopoeia of a cannon being fired.

…
this evening
After a hasty dinner, Zhizhou hurriedly left home with Ru Shui.
The father and son walked through the complicated streets and alleys of Osaka and finally stopped in front of a store.
The door plaque of this shop is very upright.
Written directly on it are the three huge Chinese characters for "Steamed Bun House".
Inside this medium-sized steamed bun shop, the sweet smell of steamed buns is constantly coming out. Inside the shop, two women, one older and one younger, are steaming steamed buns with skillful techniques.
Zhizhou and Rushui took off the knife from their left waists, held it with their right hands, and then strode into the steamed bun house.
The two women, one large and one small, who were working in the steamed bun house looked unsurprised when they saw Zhi Zhou and Ru Shui.
After glancing at the two of them, he continued to do his own thing.
The father and son entered the back room of the steamed bun house with ease, and then climbed up the stairs to the second floor.
There were only 4 rooms on the second floor of this steamed bun house. Zhizhou and Rushui went straight to the one in the corner.
Opening the door, there were more than ten people sitting behind the door.
These more than ten people almost filled up the tatami in this room. There were only two oil lamps in the room. The lack of light made the room extremely dim.
"Sorry, we're late." Zhizhou apologized to everyone in the room while leading Ru Shui into the room.
"It doesn't matter."
As soon as Zhizhou apologized, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes in the room smiled.
"I'm actually late too, I just arrived not long ago."
"The members of the Isshiki family are here. Everyone has arrived. Let's stop talking nonsense and start tonight's 'talk'."
This is one of the slang words of Naoshu and others who secretly gathered together and determined to overthrow the Edo shogunate.
They refer to "meetings" collectively as "talks."
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes spoke softly.
"Tonight's conversation will still be hosted by me, Danjiro. Please give me your advice."
The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, namely Danjiro, bent down to the people in front of him and bowed.
Zhizhou and others quickly bowed and returned the courtesy.
"First of all, I want to announce the good news to everyone. The comrades from the Satsuma Domain have successfully established a line with several senior officials of the Satsuma Domain."
As soon as Danjiro finished speaking, cheers burst into the room.
"Great, great!"
"Finally, we have taken a solid step forward on the road to collapse..."
"It's not easy, it's not easy!"
…
Everyone in the room was cheering. Although Zhizhou and Rushui didn't shout out like the others, they looked excited and excited.
Danjiro pressed his palms forward to signal everyone to be quiet, and the noisy cheers gradually subsided.
"Everyone, I can understand your excitement." Danjiro said slowly, "But it's too early to be happy now."
"'Mobilize Satsuma, Choshu and other powerful vassals and attack the shogunate by force'. Our current small achievements are just a small step in our overall strategy of overthrowing the shogunate. We still have a long way to go."
"Of course we can be happy about today's achievements, but we must not get carried away."
Danjiro's words made the excitement on the faces of everyone in the room subside slightly, and their eyes became calm again.
"We have just successfully established a line with senior officials in Satsuma." Danjiro continued, "We will have to spend an unknown amount of time and energy to convince them and make them understand the overthrow of the Edo shogunate and the restoration of the emperor and the court.
The righteousness of glory.”
"I hope that all comrades will continue to unite as one, work together as one, and never forget the original intention!"
"Even if it takes 10, 20, or 100 years, we must complete our ambition to overthrow the emperor!"
As soon as Danjiro finished speaking, the cheers that had just subsided erupted again.
Even Naoshu is shouting "Oh oh oh!" and waving his fist vigorously.
Danjiro pressed his palm forward again.
After letting the room become quiet again, Danjiro slowly stood up.
"Everyone, I have something important to discuss with you now."
"It is precisely for this reason that I called everyone here for a 'clear talk'."
"As our organization grows stronger, it becomes more and more urgent to give our organization a formal name."
"Before, we also held a 'clear talk' on the matter of naming."
Danjiro turned his attention to Naoshu.
"Mr. Naoshu suggested that we name our organization the 'Tenchu-gumi' on the grounds that we are a righteous organization that obeys God's will and is determined to punish the Edo shogunate who rebelled against justice."
In order to make it easier to distinguish Zhizhou, Ru Shui's family, Duanjiro and others all call Zhizhou and others by their first names.
"Mr. Naito thought that the name should be 'Human Killing Group'."
Danjiro turned his attention to a sturdy middle-aged man.
"The reason is that we should use 'human power' to fight against the Edo shogunate, instead of relying on illusory things like 'God's will'. Therefore, it should be named the 'Human Execution Group'."
“This discussion of what to call ‘clear talk’ never came to a conclusion, and in the end it just ended.”
"Afterwards, I thought a lot about naming it."
"Finally, I came up with a name that is better than the Heavenly Punishment Team and the Human Punishment Team."
Danjiro's words immediately aroused the interest of everyone in the room, and everyone involuntarily stretched their necks towards where Danjiro was standing.
"What kind of country are we trying to build?"
Danjiro looked around at the people around him, then asked and answered himself:
"What we want to build is a country like Nara and the Heian period, with His Majesty the Emperor as the absolute center."
"His Majesty the Emperor should be the center of our Kingdom of Japan, not the shogun."
“As for ‘His Majesty the Emperor should be the center of this country’, this is a truth that can be followed by ‘law’.”
"Our actions to bring down the curtain are righteous actions that can be followed by 'law'!"
"We will never fail because we have a rightful name and the support of the law!"
"Since ancient times, there has never been a person or organization that tried its best to achieve great righteousness but ultimately failed!"
"Overthrowing the shogunate is not something that can be accomplished overnight."
"But no matter how long it takes, no matter how many setbacks we encounter, we will eventually and will achieve comprehensive victory!"
"This is the power of righteousness, this is the power of 'law'!"
"With the power of 'Dharma', we will be invincible."
"So, I propose to name our organization "
Danjiro took out a neatly folded large piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it.
On the white paper, two huge Chinese characters were written:
Punishment by law.
These two Chinese characters are vigorous and powerful, like a swimming dragon.
Looking at the two Chinese characters "Fa Zhu" on the paper, the room became noisy again.
"Fa Zhu... Fa Zhu..."
"Fa Zhu Group... a good name."
"Indeed, this name is more suitable for us than the Tenchu Team or the Human Kill Team. The weapon we rely on to defeat the Edo Shogunate is not God's will or human power, but the invincible 'method'
.”
…
Most of the people in the room looked satisfied, including Zhizhou, Ru Shui and his son.
"Fa Zhu Group...Fa Zhu Group..." Zhizhou kept "chewing" on the title "Fa Zhu Group".
Every time he "chews", his eyes will become brighter.
…
…
at this moment
Osaka, a certain izakaya
"Kitahara..." Miura looked at Kitahara, whose face was red from drinking, with a somewhat worried look in front of him, "Did you drink a little too much?"
The table Miura was sitting at was a bit strange.
Because the two people sitting at his table had been deeply hurt by Ogata.
The person sitting opposite Miura at this time was Kitahara.
Miura had been in Shinmachi before and watched the famous Yukimura bow respectfully to Ogata, which made him, who had previously proudly showed off his small achievements in front of Ogata, become like a clown.
As for Beiyuan, let alone him.
Kitahara turned a deaf ear to Miura's advice.
He continued to hold the liquor in his hand high and poured tons and tons of wine into his mouth.
After drinking down another bottle of strong liquor, Beihara put down the bottle in his hand.
"Damn it... Damn it... Miss Isshiki... Miss Isshiki... I have always been sincere to you... Why do you only smile at that guy... Just because that guy has great swordsmanship and a lot of skills..."
Background?”
Kitahara, whose eyes were cloudy from drinking too much, muttered.
His eyes gleamed with anger and jealousy.
