"Throughout the past and present, no one has ever done such a crazy thing!"

"We must not burn down Kyoto, let alone kidnap the emperor!"

"If we do such ridiculous things, how will the world view us?"

"If you lose your territory, you can get it back again."

"If you lose your money and food, you can still make it back."

"But if the people's support is gone, we will be unable to do anything!"

"We will live in infamy! We will be looked down upon by future generations!"

His words were as fierce as thunder.

His attitude is as firm as a rock.

His eyebrows were raised upright, his eyes were protruding, and his body seemed to be filled with vigorous energy that could erupt at any time.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately jumped out to refute:

"Mr. Gui, we understand your concerns very well."

The speaker's name is "Kitajima", he has superb swordsmanship and radical ideas, and is a fan of Kusaka Genrui.

"This plan is risky, but this is a clever move for us to reverse the current situation in one fell swoop!"

"If we can successfully welcome the emperor to Choshu, the morale of the feudal kingdom will be greatly boosted!"

"At that time, we can use the power of the emperor to overthrow the shogunate in one fell swoop! Then drive the barbarians back to the sea!"

"Indeed, Zhu Rong's power cannot be underestimated."

"When the city is burned down by fire, thousands of people will be buried in the sea of ​​flames and become homeless."

"But these are necessary sacrifices!"

"Mr. Gui, is there any struggle in this world without bloodshed?"

"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, looking forward and backward, being so indecisive, can you still succeed if you have the kindness of a woman in your heart?"

"As long as we can achieve the great cause of respecting each other, what is this small sacrifice?"

"In the future, when we clarify the inner world and get rid of the smell, I believe that the people who are suffering will also feel relieved under Jiuquan."

After Beitian Jimo finished speaking, many people immediately echoed his words.

"That's right!"

"Beitian-kun is right!"

"Mr. Gui, if you keep cutting off, you will suffer chaos!"

Although Katsura Kogoro was fully prepared mentally, after hearing this fallacy from Kitagi Mo, he still felt dizzy and his teeth were cold!

Whenever he comes into contact with radical people, Katsura Kogoro will feel extremely tired - he always feels like he is not communicating with normal people, but more like talking to people from other worlds!

I can't make any sense here.

As for the "reasons" on the other side's side, calling them fallacies is an understatement!

Katsura Kogoro has finally seen through the radicals - their political level and military level are very naive! Horribly naive! They are still at the level of "as long as the emperor is on my side, we will have a huge advantage."

They thought that as long as they took the emperor to Changshu, they could turn the tide, punch Qin, Hui, Sa, and kick the shogunate.

Katsura Kogoro took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

After he calmed down a bit, he gritted his teeth and said word by word:

"What a beautiful thought you have!"

"Do you think that as long as the emperor is escorted to Changzhou, everything will be fine?"

"I'm telling you, if this comes true, it will only be true! Give others a handle!"

"When the time comes, the shogunate will be eager to declare us as traitors and traitors who kidnapped the emperor."

"The shogunate, which holds indisputable righteousness, will be supported by all parties! But we are alone!"

"As a district chief, I can defend two countries and fight against the soldiers of the world. What are the chances of winning?!"

[Note: Chang, Fang Two Kingdoms: namely the territory of Choshu Domain, Nagato Kingdom and Zhou Fang Kingdom]

At the end, Katsura Kogoro finally couldn't suppress his excitement.

At this moment, he showed the style of "Swordsman Kogoro"!

He straightened his upper body and glared at the audience, with a lion-like majesty between his brows.

Even though the blade has not been drawn and the cold light has not appeared, it still makes the rats tremble with fear!

Everyone at the scene was oppressed by his aura, and they all lowered their bodies and heads, not daring to look at him.

Of course, how could the stubbornness of the radicals be shattered by Katsura Kogoro's few words?

Soon, they calmed down and began to argue:

"Mr. Gui, why do you want to enhance other people's ambition and destroy our prestige?"

"What are the soldiers of the world? As long as we show the courage of the men of Changzhou, we will make them abandon their armor!"

"That's right! We are not afraid of the shogunate! Let the lackeys of the shogunate come over as they please!"

The room, which had been quiet for a short while, became chaotic and noisy again.

At this moment, Miyabe Kanae suddenly spoke:

"Guijun, everyone, please be patient and don't be impatient!"

"I almost thought I was in Jin Market just now."

[Note: Nishiki Market: The most famous fish, meat and poultry market in Kyoto, known as the "Kyoto Kitchen"]

"Isn't the reason why we are gathered here tonight just to sit down and have a good discussion and jointly explore a result that is acceptable to both parties?"

"What's the point of arguing until your face is red and your neck is thick? Even if you argue until dawn, you won't be able to find a reason."

"Sit down now. Don't be so excited. If you have something to say, talk it over."

At this moment, Miyabe Daizo's lofty prestige came into play again.

Under his mediation, the scolding stopped.

The radicals are no longer aggressive.

Katsura Kogoro sat down again - but his expression was still ugly.

"Guijun, I understand how you feel."

As Miyabe Daizo spoke, he personally poured a glass of wine for Katsura Kogoro.

"Irritability, anxiety, panic...these emotions will only intensify the conflict."

"Tonight is still long, let's talk slowly."

Katsura Kogoro said softly "Hmm", then raised the wine that Miyabe Daizo poured for him and drank it all in one gulp.

Because he was concentrating on the wine glass in his hand, he didn't notice that when Miyabe Daizo said the words "Let's talk slowly", a meaningful look flashed in his eyes...

…

…

Kyoto, Nawate Street (east of Kamogawa), somewhere——

Looking at Saitoichi and Nakazawa Saduki who came back to life, Aoto asked:

"Ah Yi, how are you doing there?"

Saitoichi shook his head silently.

Then, Aoden saw Serizawa Kamo and Niimi Nishiki who had also come back to life.

"Serizawa, did you find anything?"

Serizawa Duck snorted coldly:

"I didn't find any people with lofty ideals, but I found a pair of adulterers and adulterers who went out to have an affair."

"An adulterer and a slut who went out to have an affair?!"

Harada Sanosuke on the side made an excited voice.

In normal times, he might have asked about the specific details with great interest.

But as slow as he was, he also knew that now was not the time to ask about such things, so he suppressed the curiosity in his heart and retreated silently.

After a while, the generals sent by Qingdeng returned in twos and threes - without exception, they all returned without success.

A group of people stood in the middle of the street, staring at each other.

The search area east of Kamogawa is large.

In order to improve the efficiency of the search, Qingdeng had to split his manpower into groups of two or three to act separately.
To be continued...
