If today's matter cannot be clarified, it will not be a matter of not being able to go to Beijing, but it will shake Takada Haruno's trust in Miburou.
Kondo Isamu's pupils shrank, she glanced at Qinghe Banniang, and said to everyone in the hall.
"Who else supports Qinghe Banniang's idea? Let's talk about it together. We are all in the same adversity. Only by talking about it can we get together easily."
Qinghe Banniang took the opportunity to build momentum and said.
"Don't you all want to live a life of licking blood every day, with no guarantee of survival?
We have already made a lot of money. If anyone is willing to go back to the village with me and live a good life, please tell me, please!"
Qinghe Banniang walked out of the room and stood in the courtyard. Then, one after another, some people walked over and stood with her.
Isamu Kondo bowed to the Takada sisters.
"Two adults, I'm very sorry. We may need some time to discuss it first."
Takada Haruno is smiling but not smiling.
"Kondo-hime, it's so ugly."
Xueno nodded.
"I will return to Kyoto tomorrow."
After saying that, the two stood up and left, and the Rensheng wolves bowed to say goodbye.
After the Takada sisters left, Kondo Isamu glanced at Qinghe Banniang and said lightly.
"Today, everyone goes back to the house and thinks about it. We will discuss it tomorrow morning."
———
Back at the Shinsengumi station, Harano said angrily to Yukino.
"I obviously have a way to make them obey and go to Kyoto with you, but you insist on interrupting and talking nonsense.
Fortunately, now that the internal contradictions in Mibulang have been exposed, Kondo Isamu can no longer suppress the situation.
You're good, and you said you're going back to Kyoto tomorrow. What? Are you going to go back and die alone?"
No matter how harsh and sarcastic Yangno may be, she is still worried about her silly sister who makes people worry.
She paused and continued.
"If it doesn't work, give me a few days and I'll think of other ways."
Xueno shook his head and said.
"No need, twenty-four swordsmen are enough."
Yang Nai was stunned and asked.
"Where did the twenty-four masters of swordsmanship come from? Mibu Lang? There are more of them... huh?"
Yang Nai suddenly reacted, and the hair on his body stood up.
Yukino said calmly.
"Tonight, Isamu Kondo will take action."
Yang Na stared at his calm sister with wide eyes and said solemnly.
"Are you sure Kondo Isamu will kill all dissidents tonight? Maybe she will let those people leave? Maybe she will choose to stay in Sakai Port?
Yukino, you don't understand the art of trading. These ronin recognize money but not people.
What kind of righteousness are you talking to them about? It’s useless!”
Yukino looked at the somewhat panicked Yangno and said.
"Sister, you know how to do business, but you don't know how to be a swordsman.
Do you still remember? When I was in Owari, because I was young and ignorant, I came to provoke someone and was severely injured.
Do you know why the master of the kendo gym is so harsh on a half-year-old child? Because a swordsman never has a way out.
Swords are not spears, and a single swordsman cannot defeat an armored army. If you want to get ahead, you can only rely on swordsmanship competition.
Swords have no eyes, and the victory or defeat of a swordsmanship competition often depends on the life or death of a sword.
The winner will be appreciated by the superior, and his own swordsmanship will be prosperous. The loser will abandon the wilderness to feed the dogs, and the tradition will be lost.
Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo, and Okita Souji, they are all swordsmen who have killed people. You are right, they are a group of real evil wolves.
Wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, so they will not be satisfied with a few bones you throw out. I see desire in their eyes. They are eager to move up in class, but they can't find the threshold to break through.
I said, we are fighting for the Great Otai, fighting for great justice. They are willing to gamble with their lives, and risk everything for a glimmer of hope."
Haruno was a little unhappy when she heard this, but she had to admit that during the meeting just now, Yukino's aura was more in line with the three leaders of the Mibu Wolf.
Yukino spoke frankly, and the three of them asked a few simple questions, but in fact they were already determined to follow Yukino to Kyoto to seek death? These people don't take their own lives seriously, right?
Yukino looked at her sister who was turning pale and said.
"A true swordsman doesn't care about his own life, he only cares about whether his death is worthwhile. If the whole world knows about his death once, that is a great thing that can only be wished for.
Swordsmen are like cherry blossoms, they bloom and fade away suddenly.
Kondo Isamu is a real swordsman. She is in the prime of life and the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. If you don’t go now, how long will you wait?
Tianzhu, what a beautiful word, she was already moved by it. If you live, you can get the wealth and honor you want in your life. If you die, you can be like a cherry blossom, which is tragic and beautiful."
Yang Na swallowed her saliva, it seemed that she really got to know the Mibu wolves she bribed today. They were really a group of crazy desperadoes.
She said tremblingly.
"Are you sure she would kill those friends she spends day and night with instead of letting them go?
It’s easy to get together and get together, so why do you want to do this?”
Yukino's eyes were cold and he said.
"Hijikata Toshizo said that they should set rules before they come out and obey Kondo Isamu's orders.
As the leader, if Kondo Isamu cannot restrain his men to stay, Mibu Wolf will cease to exist.
She wants to follow me to Beijing to do a huge and terrible thing that involves no life or death. How can she tolerate someone in the team who is half-hearted and always thinking about the way out?
I just calculated that there were twenty-four swordsmen in total who did not stand out in the atrium with the man named Qinghe.
I said I would leave tomorrow. Isamu Kondo had no time or interest to think of any countermeasures.
She is a swordsman, and she will use the simplest and most direct method to let you and me understand her determination, so that all the concubines under her command can unify their thoughts and have the same mind."
Yangno narrowed his eyes and completely agreed with Yukino's statement.
"Would you like to vote for me? Then tonight will be a bloody night."
———
It was night, and there was only one candle lit in the room. The candlelight shivered, and three people were reflected in it.
Isamu Kondo closed his eyes and rested his mind, kneeling and sitting still.
Hijikata Toisan's eyes flashed and he said softly.
"It's almost time."
Kondo Isamu opened his eyes and asked.
"Are you all ready?"
Hijikata Tosei nodded and said.
"I sent them some wine and asked a few people who are close to Qinghe and the others to get drunk with them."
Kondo Isamu glanced at her and said.
"Will the secret be revealed?"
Hijikata Toshizo smiled brightly, showing his white teeth.
"Aren't you still worried about me doing things?"
Kondo Isamu nodded and asked General Okita.
"Where are you?"
