Nagakura Shinpachi sat opposite Kondo Isamu and said with a smile: "I have contacted my two brothers. We can assemble in advance, but order and loyalty must be guaranteed."
Kondo Isamu smiled and said, "That's good."
"Do you have any idea about the gathering place?" Toshizo Hijikata looked at Isamu Kondo who was sitting in the main seat, "If you talk about the trial defense hall, I don't recommend it."
"Indeed, the trial defense hall is relatively small in area, and this place is Edo. If we really want to establish a gathering place, it would be better around Kyoto." Okita Rintaro pointed out this problem.
"I do... have an idea." Souji Okita said slowly.
"Do you still remember... the place where we and Mr. Zuomura... met?"
...
"Miss Aaron? Why are you alone?" Zuo Cun held a piece of meat in his mouth and looked at Miss Aaron at the door in surprise, "Where did Ryoma go?"
"It was Long Ma who asked me to come back. Don't worry, nothing happened to Long Ma. Miss Aaron protected Long Ma well." Miss Aaron made a gesture to show off her biceps.
"Did something happen? Ryoma actually asked you to inform me." Zuo Cun swallowed the meat, confused.
"It's like this. Ryoma has already established a foothold there, and has also found Saigo Moritaka introduced by Mr. Katsu Kaishu, so... he is ready to break away from the feudal clan."
"Is that so... He probably hasn't announced his separation from the feudal clan yet."
"Well...just these two days."
"I understand, thank you for your hard work, Miss Aaron." Zuo Cun smiled and thanked Miss Aaron.
"Well, then, do you need me to take you for a ride?" Miss Aaron has long forgotten the unpleasantness when she first met Zuo Cun, and now has a very good attitude towards Zuo Cun.
"No, I still have some things to deal with here..." Zuo Cun glanced at Souna, "I'll leave tomorrow, but please return to Ryoma as soon as possible."
"Okay, hey, Ryoma is so weak, he must need Miss Aaron's protection." Miss Aaron looked very proud, then thought of something, and took out a package from her pocket, "This is for you.
village."
"This is the address of Longma's family. Just follow this to find it. I'm leaving first." Miss Aaron waved her hand and then jumped into the air.
Ezuna stood aside: "Miss Aaron... is a very magical person."
"It's indeed amazing." Zuo Cun couldn't help laughing, "When we first met, Miss Aaron beat me seriously."
"Hmm. Huh?"
...
"Serizawa, Niimi, are you there?" Samura held Souna's hand and came to Mibuji Temple.
Serizawa Kamo and Shinami Nishiki, who were discussing some things in the temple, heard Zuo Cun's voice and responded: "Here, what's the matter?"
Two sturdy figures squeezed out of the door.
"Will you stay here for a while?" Zuo Cun asked.
After living here for several months, Sorina became familiar with Serizawa Kamisaki and was no longer so scared. After all, these two people just didn't look like good people, but they were very kind in nature.
"I won't be leaving for a long time...is something wrong?" Serizawa touched his chin and fanned himself with a fan.
"Due to some things, I may have to leave for a few days. I would like to ask you to take care of Souna for me during the two days I am away." Zuo Cun said the reason for his visit.
Souna was not surprised.
Breaking away from the feudal clan is a serious crime and will implicate the nine tribes.
Mr. Ryoma Sakamoto wanted to break away from the feudal clan, so he asked Mr. Samura in advance to protect his family. This is something that Souna can understand.
So, she is very obedient.
Besides, she is already twelve years old and can take care of herself.
"Shoina will not cause trouble to Mr. Serizawa and Mr. Niimi." Sona clenched her fists and looked very motivated.
Zuo Cun smiled: "Let Enana stay here during the day, and let her go back to the hut to sleep at night."
"No problem." Serizawa agreed immediately. Taking care of children is not a troublesome matter.
"When are you leaving?"
Zuo Cun glanced at the sun that was about to set.
"If it's okay, I'll leave now. After you take Zhenna to eat, take her back to the hut. The hut is not far from here."
"Don't worry, we two brothers are worthy of trust!" Xin Jianjin patted his chest.
Zuo Cun smiled and jumped away.
Serizawa and Nimi are both reassuring people.
He took the knife and embarked on the journey without saying a word.
...
After sending Souna back to the cabin, Serizawa and Niimi continued to discuss the things they had not finished discussing before.
"Judging from the time when the letter was sent, they will be here tonight or tomorrow, naturally." Shinmi Nishiki rubbed a piece of paper.
"The gentle policy against ronin this time is our opportunity, but there are not many people around us, so the natural flow can be regarded as putting out the fire." Serizawa Kamo knocked the fan on the palm of his hand, "That guy Shinpachi was a big help.
Already."
"But, Shinmi, I heard Shinpachi say..."
"It's natural to be in the flow of mind and heart, but... there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
"Yes, he wrote it in the letter." Shinmi Nishiki looked at the content of the letter, "In the natural flow of emotions, there are actually swordsmanships that can confront him head-on... and there are more than one."
"Let's think about the future after they arrive." Serizawa Kamo rubbed his head, "Now is a time of shared adversity. Let's meet first and then talk about the future."
"Um."
...
"Everyone has their own things... packed up." Isamu Kondo looked at all the disciples of Natural Rishin-ryu.
Natural Rishin-ryu currently has twenty disciples.
"Ready, Mr. Kondo." Genzaburo Inoue smiled at Kondo Isamu.
He is still a disciple of Natural Rishin-ryu, but he is already the eldest among the disciples.
"When we...leave the trial hall this time, it means that I recognize your strength as samurai, and that you are qualified to hold a sword and be active in this troubled world." Kondo Isamu's eyes were deep and hidden.
A flame that is difficult to extinguish.
"In this contradictory era, as a person with a knife, you have to protect something."
"If you trust me and General Okita, then come with us."
"We will find our own way to save the country in this troubled world!"
"oh!!!"
Natural Rishin-ryu is not a trial guard house, but a ronin group, starting from Edo and heading straight for Kyoto.
The goal is to save the country.
This rally was organized by Shannan Jingzhu and many people responded.
