Zuo Cun first bandaged several wounds on his face and arms, and then helped Izo to bandage them too.
"The most important thing now is not to violate Mr. Takeichi's instructions, Mr. Okada." Zuo Cun looked into Izo's eyes, "You have to survive."
Zuocun tied a wound on Yizang's leg with a cloth bandage, but the force used was a bit too strong, and Yizang screamed in pain.
"Then what should I do now?" Okada Izo's eyes were numb, "Mr. Takeichi was arrested, and the Qinwang Party is gone."
Zuomura sighed, patted his head, and kicked Okada Izo hard.
"Ouch!" Okada Izo stood up, covering his butt and looking at Zuomura angrily, "What are you doing?"
"Kick you awake." Zuo Cun said expressionlessly, "We can't stay in Kyoto for the time being. We need to leave now."
"...Where to go?" Okada Izo looked at Zuo Cun with a little doubt.
"First go to Tosa and bring another letter to Mr. Takeichi's wife Takeichi Tomiko, and then..." Zuomura walked out of the room, "Let's go to Satsuma and find Sakamoto."
...
Genzaburo Inoue opened his eyes a little.
"Uh-ah..." He covered his head and sat up.
After looking around, I found that it was outside the Qin Wang Party's headquarters, in the middle of a forest.
Suddenly remembering what happened yesterday, Gensaburo Inoue hammered the ground hard.
"Damn it...have you been let off?"
He sighed.
"It's really...the same swordsmanship as a monster..."
Standing up and stuffing the two broken swords into the scabbard, Inoue Genzaburo rubbed his stomach and looked for his squad members.
"We have to go back quickly. Director Kondo and Director Serizawa are probably very anxious now..."
He found his team members and breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, these team members were not killed by Izo or Zuomura.
After waking up the team members, Genzaburo Inoue limped back to Kyoto with his team members.
In Kyoto, where the Shinsengumi is based.
"You are kidding!" Kondo Isamu stared angrily, "If we execute these prisoners without any notification from above, it would be a complete atrocity! This is absolutely undesirable!"
"What's wrong with that?"
Bang——
Serizawa slammed the table and said angrily: "Now that the prison is full, and these people have already been convicted of capital crimes before they were arrested, what difference does it make if they are executed one day earlier and one day later?"
"Kondo, you have to remember that we are a violent organization, and the shogunate has also given us the right to 'kill first and later if necessary'. These people must be executed!"
"You can't be executed! I said so!"
"you!"
Outside the director's office, several other leaders of the new group gathered together.
"This is the first time the two of us have quarreled..." Saito held a branch and squatted on the ground to draw circles, looking very casual.
Souji Okita sighed: "This is the seventeenth time this month. Yesterday we had three quarrels."
Shannan Keisuke covered his head and said nothing, Hijikata Toizan's eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Captain——" A team member ran over.
"My lords, Captain Inoue is back." The team member reported, "And he was seriously injured. The team members brought by Captain Inoue were also seriously injured."
Several people looked at each other and ran towards the infirmary.
"Inoue!"
Gensaburo Inoue and several injured team members were lying on the bed, and a doctor was bandaging Inoue Gensaburo.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you injured so badly?" Souji Okita asked with a frown.
Inoue Genzaburo smiled to himself: "...I met Zuo Cun."
Everyone froze.
"Samura? Are you sure?" Souji Okita asked seriously.
Inoue nodded: "I'm sure, except Zuomura... not many people would beat me like this without a gun."
"It should be said that you are already very strong for coming back alive." Saitoichi said suddenly from beside him.
Inoue Genzaburo was silent for a few seconds and shook his head: "I was spared my life by Zuomura..."
"He said that he was just fulfilling the agreement and next time... he would kill me."
Everyone was silent.
Okita Souji looked disappointed and did not stay here any longer. He turned around and walked out of the infirmary.
Several other people looked at each other, not knowing what they were thinking.
As soon as Okita Souji walked out of the infirmary, he saw Serizawa Kamo slamming the door angrily and leaving.
Kondo stood at the door of the office and sighed.
...
Zuo Cun took Yi Zang to the hut in Rensheng Village.
Knocking on the door, Souna opened the door a crack. When she saw it was Samura, she happily opened the door: "Mr. Samura, welcome back."
Samura touched Souna's head.
"Souna, we may have to leave here for a while."
Zuocun helped Yizang into the house and let him lie down.
"If we leave here, where should we go?" Sumina handed Zuocun a glass of water, a little confused.
"Go to Satsuma, go to Sakamoto."
"Where are Mr. Sakamoto and Miss Aaron?" Enshina thought for a moment about those two people who were very gentle to her.
Maybe it’s because they are both women, but Souna likes Miss Aaron very much.
Zuo Cun nodded: "We will set off after Mr. Okada's injury is healed."
"I understand, then Zhenna should pack her things first." Zhenna smiled and went out to pack her things.
Yi Zang looked at Zhenna's back: "Zhenna is not young anymore."
"Well, he's not young anymore, he's old enough to get married." Zuocun smiled slightly and treated Yizang's wounds again.
"She's already so old... She was obviously still a little girl when you first adopted her." Okada Izo chatted with Samura without saying a word.
Zuocun took a can of white wine and poured some on Izo's wound.
"Uh-"
Zuo Cun took a sip himself and then continued to help Izo treat his wounds.
"There is no liquor at home... I'll go out and buy some. You have a fever, so take a little sleep." Zuo Cun threw a wet towel on Izo's head and rubbed his wrist.
"You guys can actually take care of people...how rare." Okada Izo lay obediently and muttered in his mouth.
"I just learned it from others, just some very simple processing methods." Zuo Cun didn't say much, put on a black and white feather fabric and walked out.
Zuo Cun came to the izakaya, opened the curtain, and saw a strong man lying on the wine table grumbling.
"Really, violent organizations are meant to be feared." Serizawa Kamo was drunk and burped.
"...Serizawa? Why are you here?" Zuo Cun frowned and looked at Serizawa lying on the wine table, "Wow, the smell of alcohol is so strong."
"Huh? Samura? Are you here to drink too?" Serizawa's consciousness was a little blurred after drinking, and he raised his head and glanced at Samura.
"It's me." Zuomura sighed and sat next to Serizawa, "Aren't you supposed to be maintaining order in Kyoto now?"
