"...Well, I also want to talk to you about this." Zuomura smiled and said in a casual manner, "Serizawa, Niimi, I want to understand your position first."
"What is your opinion on Samu and Kaomu?"
The atmosphere suddenly became serious, completely different from the laughter and curses before.
"What's our position?" Serizawa's smile disappeared from his face.
"I'm on Tosa's side, we're still waiting and watching," Zuomura added.
"We... Zuocun, you should know about the Anzheng Prison in the past two years."
"Have you ever heard about the vicious persecution? What happened?"
"Due to the Ansei Prison two years ago, we were arrested in Mito Domain and imprisoned. We were not released until recently." Serizawa shook his head in despair, "Because of this incident, Mito Domain and now
The shogun and the others are making a big fuss, Hitotsubashi Keiki was released a while ago, and now he is causing trouble in the shogunate."
"Now...I don't know what I want to do."
Despite saying this, Serizawa and Niimi have already made plans for their future.
They couldn't tell anyone about this plan.
Samura said that he was on Tosa's side.
In other words, Zuocun has a position.
People with a stand cannot be trusted in any communication involving zz, even if they are friends.
"Is that so?" Zuo Cun believed it and smiled, "Then, can I invite you to join me and fight against this troubled world together?"
He knew that Serizawa and Niimi definitely had their own biases, so he did not say whether he was a supporter or a faller, but said "together we will fight against this troubled world."
Serizawa thought for a while. Among the two, he was the one who made the decision. Finally he declined with a smile: "It's not necessary after all. Instead of walking on your own path, it's better for the two of us to find our own path."
Zuo Cun didn't force it: "Okay."
At this time, there was a noise outside the temple.
"It seems that those children are here again." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Zuo Cun's eyes.
"Oh! Jin, go get my drawing board!"
...
After calling Souna out, the three adults played with a group of children for a while, and then Zuomura took Souna and continued on their way.
He has often been active in Kyoto, and he still knows where there is a suitable place to be a base. And if the King Qin Party can really gain a certain status in Kyoto, maybe the main members will enter Kyoto and work with the imperial court and the shogunate.
Say hello.
Zuocun found a small abandoned village. It seemed that it had been robbed by bandits, and the houses had burnt marks.
Zuo Cun frowned. He passed by here when he left Kyoto. At that time, the village was still in good condition.
"This is really..."
Bandit.
Although there are such a group of people in every era, in this hell-like era, they are particularly numerous.
"Isn't it safe around Kyoto?" Zuo Cun touched the charred wall and frowned, "What on earth are those people in the shogunate doing?"
"Even if we are in the ambiguous period of the union between the public family and the samurai family, we should not underestimate the security issues in Kyoto and surrounding areas to this extent!" Zuocun sighed.
Ezuna stood beside Zuo Cun, her eyes a little hazy and her body trembling.
"What's wrong? Souna." Zuo Cun knelt down and looked at Souna's face.
He didn't dare to look directly into Souna's eyes, so he could only look at Souna's nose.
"I remember... our home was like this after the attack." She looked like she was about to cry.
Zuo Cun was silent.
Enchanna was struck by the situation, remembering the day that made her collapse.
After gently stroking Souna's hair, Zuomura sighed: "Let's choose another place. This place is no longer suitable as a base for operations."
Zuocun also knows that there are other villages in the surrounding area.
Ezuna nodded and followed Zuo Cun quietly.
After walking for a while, the two people walked halfway up a hill.
Zuo Cun heard something.
Several people emerged from the surrounding area.
It was obviously winter, but these people were wearing short clothes that were easy to move around but couldn't keep them warm.
Zuo Cun's eyes turned cold.
Bandits.
Moreover, these bandits all carry knives on their waists.
"You are obviously a samurai, but you choose to be a bandit." Zuo Cun said sarcastically, "Don't you know that the sword in your waist is crying?"
"Mr. Sumita, he seems to be a samurai too, should we take action?" A bandit nervously held the katana at his waist and looked at Zuomura who stood there like a sword.
"Definitely..."
Before the bandit leader finished speaking, he saw that Zuo Cun had drawn a knife. It was not a knife, but a wakizashi pheasant.
"Too bloody in front of children may scare them." Zuo Cun stood up his pheasant feathers, reflecting the faint cold light, "So please, please stand quietly."
After saying that, Zuo Cun disappeared from the spot.
"What!"
"Where!"
The bandits immediately broke into commotion.
Zuo Cun stood still in the air, observing the position of the bandits.
He wanted to clean up the bandits before they came into contact with Sumina.
"Souna! Close your eyes!" Zuomura yelled in the air.
Shivering with fear, Souna closed her eyes for an instant, and the bandits also followed the direction of the sound and discovered Samura.
But it's no use.
"New Yulun - Part Two of Wings!"
Zuo Cun spun around.
"Pheasant!"
The green child is swept by the mountain wind, and the falling dust is not stained with blood.
The bandits looked at Zuocun, who was bombarded from the sky like a hurricane, and wanted to flee in all directions.
"It's too late!"
boom----
Without even uttering a scream, about half of the bandits were killed directly.
Their bodies were chopped into several pieces by pheasant feathers, and their internal organs fell to the ground.
Zuomura didn't stop. In addition to jumping, he was also good at thrusting, but it was not as terrifying as Okita Souji's ignorant three-stage thrust.
In less than five minutes, more than a dozen bandits were dead.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Zuo Cun shook the pheasant feathers that were not stained with blood and gently sheathed them.
"Let's go, Souna, don't open your eyes." Zuomura's tone was very gentle.
"...Hmm." Souna's voice sounded like a mosquito.
Holding Souna's hand, Zuo Cun quickly left the mountain road filled with corpses of bandits.
Feeling the little hand that was still trembling slightly in his own palm, Zuocun said nothing.
Souna didn't open her eyes.
She knows what's going on.
Zuo Cun is a very powerful wild warrior. Although he has no formal status, everyone who knows Zuo Cun respects him.
When a powerful samurai meets a bandit, Souna knows exactly what will happen.
Smelling the faint smell of blood wafting in the air, Souna held back tears.
