The actual ruler of the Tokugawa Shogunate, the shogun, the general of the Consciousness, Tokugawa Ieshima, was assassinated in a temporary residence in Kyoto on August 3, 2008. The captain of the new selection group of the escorts was later found outside Kyoto, and everyone was seriously injured.
The assassin's identity is clear.
The hero who once killed evil ghosts - Yuguizhan, Zuocun Annuo.
A national uproar.
When a king of a country was assassinated, this incident spread rapidly throughout the world.
The most important thing is that after Tokugawa Ishimatsu was assassinated, his head was invisible and his body was only in the corpse.
Kyoto, Edo, fell into chaos in an instant.
......
"Tokugawa----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes... the vassal soldiers who are still staying in Kyoto have blocked Kyoto. Several captains of the newly selected group were found to be seriously injured and fainted outside Kyoto, with multiple knife wounds and blunt injuries on their bodies, which are suspected to be related to the battle between the assassin, Anno Sakuzuki, the Hokage Killer Zuomura."
The minister left cold sweat and reported tremblingly.
"Being assassinated?! Assassinated?!" Emperor Xiaoming was both scared and anxious, "Where is the front-line army? Does the front-line army know this news?"
“…The news is temporarily blocked.”
"What about the shogunate? What about the shogunate movements? What are they doing now? Did the assassin catch it?"
"Dear old and middle-aged people are holding an emergency meeting to discuss the candidate for the next general. As for the assassin... it was not captured."
"Waste! A bunch of waste!" Xiaoming cursed, "Even an assassin can't catch him! What's the food for!"
Many subordinates dared not speak, and the court was silent.
Xiaoming covered his chest, gasping heavily, and his face turned red.
"Go, go catch it! Go!!!"
"Yes, I understand!" The subordinate hurriedly retreated.
But as he walked, he thought to himself.
That was a powerful warrior who had rumored to kill monsters, and he sneaked into the general's residence alone. After killing people, he beat all the powerful captains of the new selection group. How to catch them?
......
New Selection Group Infirmary.
Saito Ichi was still in a coma due to his severe head injury, and Nagakura Shinhata did not wake up because of his severe injury.
The remaining three people were speechless.
Inoue Genzaburo's eyes were dark and he said something silently.
"Please put the responsibility for not protecting the general this time, please put it on me."
"Captain Inoue, you!" Harada Zuosuke was anxious, "We are all responsible for this incident, how can you take it alone!"
"Inoue..." Okina Soichi looked at Inoue Gensaburo in a daze.
Inoue Genzaburo lowered his head: "Don't you understand yet?"
"If a general is killed, if no one takes the initiative to stand up and take responsibility, we... will die."
He grabbed the quilt covered by himself.
"...I should also do it. I was commanded that day, and I should bear the responsibility." Okita Chief said loudly.
“…Okita.”
Inoue called out softly.
"...Inoue?" Okina General looked at Inoue Gensaburo in confusion.
"Tukata, Kondo and I have an agreement."
"You are our little sister. Even if the three of us are not as strong as you, we will definitely protect you as our brother."
"You can't die, so... the command that night was in my hands, do you understand?" Inoue Genzaburo looked at Okina Mainji with tears in his eyes.
"Captain Inoue, I should be the one who should-" Zuosuke Harada said anxiously.
"Harada!" Inoue interrupted Harada Zuonosuke's words loudly.
Inoue Genzaburo lifted the quilt and put it on the bed, making a seat down.
"Please agree to me!"
"This is my...a lifelong request!"
“…Please.”
"Inoue...why?"
“…because that night, I realized a fact.”
Inoue Genzaburo stood up with a sad expression.
"I...my swordsmanship has come to an end."
"No matter what, I can't do you, Captain Saito, Captain Nagakura, and... Zuomura."
"My heart was shattered."
"I have no value anymore."
"Let me, a useless man, show a little value in the end."
......
The third day after Tokugawa Ishiki was assassinated.
"Kyoto is already very nervous now. For safety reasons, we will set off for the Choshu family immediately." Yamanan Keisuke said seriously.
Now the remaining vassal soldiers looked everywhere for Annuo Zuocun. In order not to be discovered, Yamanan Keisuke made this decision.
"Zuo Village is not awake yet... I'm in trouble." Okada Izo frowned and looked at Zuo Village, who was covered in bandages.
Zuo Village cannot not take it away, but Zuo Village is still in a coma and is afraid of the wound breaking when transporting it.
"Mr. Zuomura, please ask the two gentlemen to take them to my house first. There is a place for us to hide Mr. Zuomura." Kana said from the side.
"...No need." At this moment, a weak voice came.
Everyone's eyes turned to the hospital bed.
"I'll go to Changzhou Fan with you...." Zuocun lay on the bed, his voice a little weak.
"Mr. Zuocun!" Kana rushed to Zuocun in surprise.
"Kanana...don't!" Zuomura raised his right hand and gently touched Kana's head.
"Are you serious about Zuocun?" Yamanan Keisuke frowned, "Your injury has not healed yet. If you move easily, the wound will definitely break."
"I'm fine. The most important thing now is to bring Tokugawa Ishimashiro's head back to Changzhou." Zuocun issued an order on the bed, "Yannan, you should give priority to taking Tokugawa Ishimashiro's head back."
"But you..." Shannan Keisuke was a little hesitant.
"I'm fine. You can take Tokugawa Ishimashita's head and leave now. Take Izang's Tianzhu team away, and don't let my efforts be in vain."
"Izang and I... wait and leave." Zuocun said without any doubt.
Tokugawa Ishima's head is the top priority and there is no way to avoid it.
"...I understand." Shannan Keisuke nodded, "Izang, accompany me."
"Okay."
The two walked out side by side.
Kana knelt in front of Zuocun's bed.
"Kana...sorry, I..." Zuomura looked at his daughter with a little guilt.
"Mr. Zuocun, please stop talking." Kana looked at Zuocun with a little annoyed, "If you don't want me to worry again, please pay more attention to your safety next time."
Zuocun was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"I see."
Before lunch, Yamanan Keisuke led two teams and Tokugawa Ishiki's head to set off.
Yizang stayed with Zuocun for two days. After Zuocun could move freely, the two set off again.
Chapter completed!
