"Don't you know?" Gintoki, who switched seamlessly, raised his eyebrows and said, "The general works in three shifts, you idiot~"
"That's not what I meant when I attended the duty report! Idiot!"
Hearing the sound, Gintoki's face darkened, he casually pulled out the sword in his hand, and looked at Fourteen coldly: "Hey, if you don't use honorifics next time, I'll really chop you off."
In an instant, veins popped up on Fourteen's face: "Just right! Come on! See if I don't assassinate an idiot like you, Your Highness!"
"Everyone~" Gintoki stuck his head out and shouted exaggeratedly, "Did you hear that-?"
In just a moment, countless kunai shot straight from behind Fourteen. At the same time, the people surrounding the sedan drew their swords at the same time.
Sitting on the ground with their backs to the sedan chair after barely dodging the kunai, Shizuo and Kondo looked at the guards surrounding them with sweat on their faces.
"I'll ask again," Xiao Yuan adjusted his glasses and asked in a voice with no emotion, "Assassination General..."
"How could you do it!" Kondo, who had a constipated expression, was sweating profusely and his voice was hoarse.
"It's just a joke! It's just black humor!" Fourteen with the same expression quickly took over.
Hearing the sound, the little ape smiled softly, "You'd better be careful. The Yuting fans are always in a state of preparation for war. Even if the person sitting in the sedan is a shadow warrior, if anyone dares to take action easily, his whole body will become Hornet's nest."
"Understood?" Gintoki opened the sedan door and said while pulling out the kunai that was accidentally stuck on his body, "From now on, you must pay attention to your words and deeds, slaves."
Fourteen complained crazily: "You have to pay attention! Shadow Warriors have turned into a hornet's nest!"
"I don't care if you are the director of the real selection team or the deputy director, you are all my elders today, so change your mood and work hard." Gintoki continued unhurriedly, and then motioned to the person carrying the sedan with his eyes, "Anyway , you two carry the sedan for me first, consider it a punishment for being disrespectful just now. If you dare to move even a little bit, I will behead you."
[You...you bastard! ] Fourteen gritted his teeth and used all his strength to lift the sedan, [I didn’t expect it to be like this. It would be great if I brought all the Shinsengumi with me... ]
On the other side, Edo, inside Edo Castle.
A group of members of the True Selection Team are still performing the task of protecting the "general". By the way, these people don't know that the "general" they are protecting who is sitting in the room reviewing political affairs is a fake.
"Secret mission?" A certain member of the True Selection Team looked puzzled.
Yamazaki on the side replied casually: "It's like, "The Shinsengumi can't take large-scale action, so you just go and protect the general."
"Hey, hey, how can you be so rude?" The member of the real selection team complained, "Since we have to protect the general, is there any more important task than this? Now because of the poisoning incident, the situation in the entire city has changed. I'm very nervous. Who knows when the assassin will target him."
"Who knows," Yamazaki shrugged, "I don't know if it's out of trust in us or what. Well, since Captain Okita is here, the ship will naturally be straight when it reaches the bridge."
Just after he finished speaking, Yamazaki suddenly noticed something again and was stunned: "Ah? Speaking of which, where is Captain Okita?"
In the room, although the voices of the Shinsengumi team members in the courtyard continued to be heard, the "general"'s expression did not change at all. He was still sitting at the low table and looking through the documents on the table.
But at this moment, a faint blue smoke appeared, and the unresponsive "general" unconsciously inhaled the green smoke, which was much lighter than incense, into his nasal cavity.
[not good!]The shadow warrior reacted instantly, but it was too late. He couldn't even call for help... or make a sound.
Consciousness... is gone.
Two minutes later, Yamazaki opened the door to the room, looked at the "general" who was still sitting at the low table with his head down while grading, saluted, then withdrew again and gently closed the door.
It wasn't until the door was closed that the "general" who was leaning on the desk finally stopped what he was doing, with a hint of impatience on his face.
Like saying...what a hassle.
…
In Yoshiwara at dusk, as there were more customers, the lights began to increase little by little, and the wandering girls and mommies in various shops began to shout.
Similar to this situation, Jiang Cheng's room was also very "lively".
Looking at Yue Yong, who was crowded on his right side and just kept smoking without saying a word, and Xinnu, who was crowded on his left side and was just eating donuts without saying a word, Jiang Cheng looked ugly. Make complaints.
"Hey, what are you two doing? One of you keeps making second-hand smoke there, and the other keeps chewing there. It's so annoying. Even playing a game makes me tired. So can you go out?"
"Jiang Chengsama is right!"×n
After hearing such a neat sound, Jiang Cheng looked back expressionlessly, and became even more speechless after seeing the crowd of Baihua ladies kneeling neatly on the floor behind him.
"Hey, when did you come here again? Where are you working? Don't you have to work anymore? Get out of here too!"
Well... that's it, very "lively".
…
On board the shogunate cargo spaceship flying to Kyoto.
In the huge cab or control room, a group of guards were nervously staring at the big screen on the console in front of them.
"The radar is normal!"
"There are no abnormalities in the surrounding frigates at the moment!"
"It seems that our worries are unfounded."
"The troops everywhere are not lagging behind. Of course, that is a matter of course. It is impossible for anyone to see through this complete strategy."
"No, even if they see through it, the enemy can't take the head of the shogun. There is that man beside the shogun. The strongest man in the public debate on the imperial court - Mori Shiten, Hattori Zenzo."
…
On the bow of the house-shaped boat that did not stop at all, at the railing, Maomao looked at the sunset in the distance with his hands behind his back. Next to him was Rokuten Maizo.
Not far behind him was Quanzang kneeling on one knee.
"Long time no see, Your Excellency Quan Zang." Liuzuan Wu Zang was the first to speak, and his words were full of emotion: "How long has it been since you and Master Mao Mao saw each other?"
"I don't remember..." Quan Zang responded casually, "But I met someone who looked like him in the Ugly Girls Club before, but the General probably wouldn't go to that kind of place, so it was probably someone else. You say Right? Mr. Wu Zang."
"Ah hahaha, I see you haven't changed at all, and your preference for women has not changed at all." Rokuten Maizo laughed.
"Ah, some things... will never change no matter how long it takes. Of course, I will also remember your great kindness." With that, Quan Zang stood up and looked at Mao Mao's back, "This time I'm here to repay the favor, General."
Looking at Quanzang who was walking forward slowly, Rokuten Maizo continued with some emotion: "There is nothing more reassuring than having someone as powerful as you by my side."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the index and middle fingers of Quan Zang's right hand, who had just passed by Liuzuan Wu Zang, had already landed on his chest.
At this moment, Liuten Maizo immediately knelt down, and at the same time, his consciousness began to fade away a little bit.
Quanzang, who came behind Maomao, stopped and spoke again: "You said that at that time, right? The mission of the Yutingfan is not to protect the general, but to protect the general. And the general's responsibility is … Risk your life to protect the country and its citizens.”
A few seconds later, Maomaocai responded without looking back: "Ah, yes, Quan Zang. The rest will be left to you."
Looking at Maomao who looked back with a gentle expression, Quanzang drew his dagger without any hesitation.
Liuten Maizo, who was lying on the ground and holding himself up, saw at the last moment before losing consciousness, the frightened crows flying in the sky and... the head that was instantly chopped off by Quanzou...
…
"I can't stop anymore."
Someone in the distance looked at the west and sighed softly.
…
According to legend, during the Honnoji Incident, Oda Nobunaga died in the fire due to Akechi Mitsuhide's rebellion. The subsequent lord, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was isolated in the Kinai and fell into the most embarrassing situation in his life.
It was Iga's ninjas who assisted Lord Ieyasu in protecting him and successfully arrived at Mikawa, and they played a decisive role in the unification of the world by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
These words were spoken in class by the previous generation leader of the Imperial Court Fans, Quanzang's father, and the teacher of all ninjas of this generation.
Kozaru, who was resting in place with the large army, raised his face and sighed softly: "The ninjas who once protected the general when he traveled eastward are now trying to protect the general who is being hunted by the Edo forces when he returns to the west."
On the side, Xiao Yuan's contemporary, Xun, who is also a member of the imperial court, complained with his hands on his hips: "It's just to protect the general, but we are protecting those guys."
As he said that, Xun looked in a certain direction.
"Hey! What are you still dawdling about! Didn't I tell you to bring all the captains of this store to me?!"
Sitting outside a small dumpling shop in the wilderness, Gintoki's attitude was as arrogant and domineering as he could be.
"Don't piss off the general!" Xin Bajiu followed suit.
Kagura, who was still pulling at the rice, was the same, scolding inarticulately: "If you dare to despise us, be careful to behead all of you! You wretched slaves!"
"It's true," Gintoki complained as he ate the dumplings. "It turns out that it's not so easy to be a master. Hey! Serve tea, serve tea! You have to pay him 360 yuan for such a useless boss. Salary~"
With his head lowered and his face darkened, he suppressed his anger and walked slowly towards Shi Shi with tea in hand. He was even more angry: "My salary is more than this..."
After picking up the tea cup and taking a sip, Gintoki frowned and complained: "I'm so annoyed, I'm so annoyed, the three-shift system is really making me more and more annoyed."
