Howls, sobs, shouts...were all heard together.

It's like holding "The Voice of XX"...ah, no, correction. It's like holding a misfortune contest.

In order to survive, these villains who have committed crimes in the past have tried their best to survive, which is eye-opening.

Either cry for father or mother, kowtow like pounding garlic, and behave in an extremely humble manner.

Or just like Lu Bu downstairs at the White Gate, he works hard to promote himself, hoping to win the end of being surrendered.

Especially that Ayase Taichi.

I don’t know if he is a man who can bend and stretch, or if he is simply frightened - Qingdeng prefers the latter - I saw him kowtowing hard with "dong dong dong", his forehead was bruised, blood flowed out, and he kept talking.

It keeps repeating:

"Lord Tachibana, please spare my life!"

Qingdeng has seen too many people like this.

When he is in power, he is majestic and majestic, as if he is an unparalleled hero.

But when disaster strikes, especially when death is imminent, he is more timid than anyone else.

Qingdeng has always believed that adversity reveals the true nature of a hero, just like Jing Ke who assassinated Qin.

If it weren't for being tied up with hemp rope and being strictly guarded by the soldiers of the 7th and 10th divisions, unable to move at all, otherwise it is not difficult to imagine that someone would crawl to Qingden's feet regardless of dignity.

He licked Qingdeng's shoes pitifully and begged Qingdeng for forgiveness like a pug.

However, Qingdeng didn't even pay attention to them.

He silently turned his head and winked at Isamu Kondo beside him.

When Isamu Kondo saw this, he nodded lightly with understanding, then turned to his subordinates behind him and said:

"Keep them quiet."

The inspectors of the Metropolitan Police Bureau rolled up their sleeves and silently walked towards Ayase Taichi and the others - crackling, tinkling and booming - and gave them another beating.

The world returns to silence.

When Aoto announced that he would behead all Ayase Taichi and others, he looked up and saw two completely different scenes.

On the one hand, they are shouting at the sky and grabbing the earth, beating their heads and stamping their feet.

On the other hand, he fell into a sea of ​​joy.

"Yes! That's right! These beasts are inferior to pigs and dogs, and they should all be beheaded!"

"Hahaha! Great! Kusunoki Group is finally destroyed!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...A Qing! You can finally rest in peace!"

…

There are people who laugh heartily, and there are people who cry with joy.

The people at the scene all expressed their purest joy in their own ways.

It is evident how unpopular the Nanmu Group is.

It is also obvious how much contribution the Shinsengumi has made.

Qingdeng moved his eyes calmly, silently taking in the ecstatic expressions of the soldiers and the people, and a faint and calm smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"The Shinsengumi!"

He focused his gaze back to the front and shouted angrily:

"Triumph!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh -!"

So impassioned that the sky dries up!

The sergeants of the Shinsengumi embarked on their triumphant return journey with the morale of their triumphant victory.

The people on both sides of the street were frightened by this shocking scene and stepped back unconsciously. The expressions on their faces changed wonderfully.

The rich smell of blood that fills the mouth and nose, the figure covered in blood that the eyes can see, this unquestionable and powerful record...

Some people looked at him with awe.

Some people seemed to be frightened, their faces turned pale, and some even had their legs tussling with each other, almost falling to the ground.

Most people are a combination of the two - feeling both admiration and horror.

Among the crowd, a faint murmur suddenly floated out:

"Is this...Bando Warrior..."

Yes. Because time has been so long that people in Kyoto have forgotten one fact...the origin of the name "Dongyi".

That night, the people of Kyoto finally recalled the original reason why the Kanto people were called "Dongyi".

Their fighting power is so fierce! Like beasts!

The concentrated looks of awe made the sergeants of the Shinsengumi feel deeply at ease, sweeping away the haze of being slighted and slandered yesterday.

Driven by this emotion, they smiled happily, held their heads high and held their chests high, as if they were the greatest contributors to the Sekigahara War!

…

…

At this moment——

A dark alley not far from the Shinsengumi——

Two black figures stood side by side, staring straight at the triumphant Shinsengumi.

The petite black figure said:

"...The Shinsengumi's combat power is stronger than I expected."

The sweet voice like a silver bell... it was the voice of a woman, and she was still a young girl.

The plump dark figure standing next to her said:

"Is it strong? In my opinion, the Shinsengumi's combat effectiveness is just that. With their current scale and combat power, they can only bully the inferior Yakuza. If they want to fight against Satsuma, Choshu It's still far from the law that punishes the party and the New Sengumi."

It is also a woman's voice.

However, compared to the petite black shadow, the plump black shadow has a much richer voice, which shows that she is a mature woman in her twenties and thirties.

As soon as the plump black shadow finished speaking, the petite black shadow nodded and echoed:

"Miss Mei, as you said, the current Shinsengumi is indeed not effective yet. But——"

As the conversation suddenly changed, the petite black figure raised the corners of her lips.

"The chief general of the Shinsengumi is that Nioh. Mr. Ebina and Mr. Ichinose both praised Nioh and deeply regretted that Nioh was not a loyalist of our Great Salt Party. Under the command of this strange man, I think the Shinsengumi will have unimaginable potential."

"...Well, that's true."

The plump black figure called "Miss Mei" nodded slightly, then turned back.

"Xiao Tao, let's go. It's almost time to go back to Gion. Miss Sumire is still waiting for our report."

"Well, let's go."

The two women walked side by side towards the depths of the alley, and within a moment they both merged into the thick shadows of the alley.

Silence returned inside and outside the alley, as if no one had ever been here...

…

…

The next day——

Kyoto, Sanjo Kawara——

"The Shinsengumi attacked the Kusunoki-gumi's main formation at night, and the entire Kusunoki-gumi army was wiped out." This news spread like the wind through the streets of Kyoto as if it had wings.

On this day, it was as if the Gion Festival had arrived in advance throughout Kyoto. Happy smiles could be seen everywhere, loud cheers could be heard everywhere, and the only thing missing was the lanterns and festoons.

[Note·Gion Matsuri: A festival held annually in Kyoto, Japan, it is considered the largest and most famous festival in Japan. Together with the Tenjin Matsuri in Osaka and the Kanda Matsuri in Edo, it is known as the three major summer festivals in Japan. one】

After learning that Aoto was going to kill Ayase Taichi and others in public in Sanjo River, a large number of soldiers and civilians worked tirelessly to rush to Sanjo River in order to witness this heart-wrenching scene with their own eyes.

Although Kyoto is a cultural and political capital, and its business atmosphere is far inferior to that of Edo and Osaka, as long as it is a city, there will always be a shortage of businessmen who are calculating and calculating.

Many vendors set up stalls near Sanjo Kawara and started doing business.

There are people selling water, people selling snacks, people selling straw sandals... there's a dazzling array of things to see.

There are even some vendors who ingeniously made the same type of Taming Doll of Ayase Taichi overnight.

[Note: Transferred Doll: Curse Doll]

In the past, when the Kusunoki group was strong, vendors would naturally not dare to arrange Ayase Taichi like this.

But now, everyone has no scruples and mocks and abuses this dying man without restraint.
