Chapter 569 Bloody Battle in Gion (3)

At this moment, there are not only more than 20 warriors from the Satsuma and Satsuma domains of Choshu in this room, but also Hanjiro Nakamura, who is known as the beheaded man.

Zhang Heng only has one rib in his hand, no matter how good his saber technique is, he can't beat four hands with two fists.

In addition, Zhang Heng has also considered the possibility of taking hostages. Among them, the most valuable one is undoubtedly the leader of the Changzhou Fan, and an important figure of the Fallen Sect, Takasugi Shinsaku. Although he does not seem to have a few days to live, Zhang Heng can Putting a knife around his neck can make a room full of people afraid to move.

However, Nakamura Hanjiro, who was inseparable from Takasugi Shinsaku, obviously existed to deal with this situation. Nakamura Hanjiro sat there, although he was like a stone without saying a word, Zhang Heng could feel that his attention was always on. Never left his body.

This is also a very normal thing, only Zhang Heng and Gabriel in the room are not "insiders" who do not belong to the downfall faction, and compared with Zhang Heng with a knife, the French businessman looks harmless to humans and animals. Even an idiot can see a threat.

Of course, Zhang Heng's knife is fast, faster than most people think.

If Zhang Heng suddenly violently attacks Takasugi Shinsaku now, Nakamura Hanjiro may not be able to protect Takasugi Shinsaku, but Zhang Heng's goal is not to kill Takasugi Shinsaku. If he really cut Takasugi Shinsaku with a single knife, he would really stab the hornet's nest No one in this room will let him go.

One-on-one Zhang Heng is not afraid of anyone, but in such a small space, if so many people rush forward, the situation will undoubtedly become very dangerous.

Since Shinsaku Takasugi failed to threaten him, Zhang Heng could only do the next best thing and try to use the French businessman around him as a shield. Undoubtedly, the Rebels did not want Gabriel to die here. Leaving aside the diplomatic troubles, the most important thing is But after Gabriel died, no one helped them transport weapons and troops into Kyoto.

But on the other hand, they also need to consider the troubles that would be caused by the news that Shinsaku Takasugi is still alive if Zhang Heng is allowed to leave alive.

After Tokugawa Yoshiki knew the news, he would have guessed that the shogun was prepared to deal with him. No matter how stupid he was, he would never come to Kyoto again to risk his life. There is a high probability that the ronin responsible for the assassination will also be ready to move, and there is no guarantee that the Ikedaya incident will not repeat itself.

Zhang Heng has never been a person who is used to leaving his life to others to make decisions.

Zhang Heng wouldn't be very surprised if these warriors of the Falling Sect choose to keep Gabriel at the cost of his life.

After all, although it is difficult to find the person in charge of transportation, losing a partner is better than exposing the entire plan.

Therefore, Zhang Heng has already made up his mind, no matter what, he should retreat to an open place outside the house first, so that he can take the initiative no matter whether it is fighting or fleeing, so when the deal is halfway through, the two sides finalize the big framework and prepare When the details were further improved, Zhang Heng spoke up, saying that he needed to make it easier.

Takasugi Shinsaku nodded in agreement, and joked with him with a smile that it was dark outside, so he should be careful not to stumble and fall into the toilet.

Except for Nakamura Hanjiro's Chinese character face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, everyone else smiled when they heard the words. Give him a salary increase, only Takeuchi is still drinking alone in the corner, I don't know what he is thinking.

Zhang Heng got up, pushed open the shoji door, and walked outside. When the shoji door closed behind him, Zhang Heng saw the maid blocking the way again in the courtyard.

Standing in the darkness with a lantern, she looked at Zhang Heng like a ghost and said, "The latrine is on the other side."

"Thank you, but I want to go out to take a breath first." Zhang Heng said.

The maid was indifferent when she heard the words, and just repeated in a tone without any emotion, "The hut is on the other side. If you suddenly don't want to be convenient, please go back to the room. It's cold in April, so be careful not to catch a cold."

Zhang Heng smiled as if he hadn't heard her warning, and stepped on the ground in the courtyard.

The maid sighed, and after all, a complicated look flashed across her cold face, "I'm afraid you don't know the meaning of this step."

"No, this is the first time I've heard of a tea house that only allows entry and not exit." Zhang Heng walked towards the maid while talking.

"This is really... so regrettable." The maid shook her head, holding the handle of the knife with a pair of slender hands, and then looked straight into Zhang Heng's eyes and said, "It's my duty, please forgive me."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sharp knife wind hit Zhang Heng's back neck.

The person who attacked Zhang Heng was originally standing on the long tiles of the teahouse, quietly like a black cat, until Zhang Heng took the step that represented death, and then he suddenly fell from the sky, and at the same time swung this attack with the fastest speed. One cut.

This is the assassin's night sword technique, silent, like death itself, perhaps mixed with ninjutsu from Kai, making it hard to guard against.

The blade in his hand was about to touch Zhang Heng's neck, but the next moment a rib that came out of nowhere pierced his chin first, and then kept going all the way, the blade came from the top of his head. It came out with mottled blood, which also made the horror in his eyes freeze.

This Richa, presented by Chiyo's parents, is indeed a good knife, and its sharpness is not far behind even some famous knives.

Then the veil slipped off the attacker's face, and Zhang Heng recognized him, or it would be more appropriate to call her her.

It turned out to be a geisha who was dancing in the house before.

This is indeed a secret stronghold of the Banbai faction in Kyoto, and those geisha who look tender and tender, like the maid in front of them, are dead men trained by the Banbai faction.

"This is troublesome." Zhang Heng also sighed.

The area of ​​Youji tea house is not small, and there are quite a few geisha and waiters inside. If they are all dead men of the downfall sect, then Zhang Heng will have a lot of fun tonight, but it is impossible to turn around and go back now. There are also a lot of samurai inside, and there is also Nakamura Hanjiro who is a man, compared to the outside, it is open enough for him to display his body skills.

The maid holding the lantern who witnessed the tragic death of her companion was indifferent, perhaps to repay Zhang Heng for saving her from committing suicide before, she did not immediately draw a knife and rush over, but just stood there, quietly waiting for Zhang Heng Heng grabbed the knife that had been planted in the yard earlier.

"I've heard about Gion's name for a long time, and it's my first time here. I didn't expect that guests would be required to kill themselves. It's a bad review." Zhang Heng pulled out his sword while talking, "If that's the case, come here if you want to die! "
