Chapter 571 Bloody Battle in Gion (5)

"Don't cut it, it's me!"

A voice said in Zhang Heng's ear in the night.

With the help of the fire that had gradually ignited in the firewood room, Zhang Heng could indeed see clearly the young face that belonged to Mr. Okita. The latter coughed twice, slashed at an enemy in front of him, and stood with Zhang Heng on his back. He comforted, "Don't worry, our people will be here soon."

"Don't lie." Zhang Heng heard the words but said indifferently, "You yelled so loudly in front of the door, I'm afraid there are still people who don't know that Isamu Kondo is behind, do you think they will believe it?"

Souji Okita scratched his head, "Will they believe it?"

"If they really believed it, they wouldn't let you come in so easily," Zhang Heng patiently analyzed the guy beside him, "Now, they obviously want to encircle us here together."

"Ah, I'm sorry, deceiving people has never been my strong point," Okita said with an apologetic face, "I received a secret report that there are sneaky guys meeting here secretly, and it turned out that you were in there before, so I'm worried about your safety. Rushing in, rescue soldiers or something, it is true that there is no time to notify."

While the two were chatting, Zhang Heng saw something in the hands of the proprietress not far away, his expression changed slightly, and he said to Mr. Okita, "Run!"

"ah?"

Although Director Chong Tian didn't understand why the good Zhang Heng continued to flee, now that the two of them joined forces, although they might not be able to beat the group in front of them, the pressure was much lower than when they were fighting alone, and there was no reason to spread out , but seeing that Zhang Heng had already rolled on the spot regardless of the sword added to his body, Mr. Okita, as the number one expert in the Shinsengumi, saved his own life with his keen perception of danger, and he leaned over to avoid the next attack. A black gun from the proprietress.

Just as the latter began to continue filling gunpowder and projectiles, Zhang Heng also turned up from the ground and killed in that direction.

However, it could be seen that the proprietress' status in the tea house was not low, at least she was not a dead man who could be given up at will, so seeing Zhang Heng rushing over, many geisha and waiters immediately stood in front of her.

Zhang Heng knew that it was a critical moment of life and death. He didn't want the proprietress to complete the reloading and have another chance to fire a second shot, so he completely abandoned defense and attacked with all his strength, using the most powerful Wu Nian Wu Wanting to slash, the knife in his hand pointed straight ahead, leaving no retreat.

Meet on a narrow road! At this time, it is each other's courage and determination to fight.

He cut off the necks of the two geisha along the way as soon as they rushed over. They tilted and fell down among the flowers, but then others took their places, refusing to give up an inch. Every step Zhang Heng took Under the tremendous pressure, the blood flowed in front of his eyes, and the firewood house behind him was already burning at this time.

The intersecting fire and blood made this small courtyard look like hell.

What remained unchanged during this period was Zhang Heng's pace, like the drumbeat of the god of death on everyone's heart.

In the end, it was the tea house that wavered first. The dead man had no emotion and didn't know what fear was, but the lady boss, an ordinary person, still knew to be afraid. Zhang Heng's pressing every step of the way made her a little confused, and the gunpowder in her hand spilled a lot. Little, but what really made her want to retreat was Okita Souji who was also rushing towards her on the other side.

The proprietress finally made up her mind to move to a safe place before completing the reloading, but her retreat caused a loophole in the originally perfect defensive formation, although it was only a negligible and fleeting opportunity.

But in the eyes of masters like Zhang Heng and Okita Souji, they are enough to decide the winner of this battle.

Without any prior discussion, Zhang Heng suddenly threw the ribs in his hand and nailed a servant next to the proprietress to the ground. Decided to change the direction of escape, but after a short delay, Zhang Heng had already killed him.

Although those dead soldiers worked hard to protect their lords and were not afraid of death, they could do little in the face of the huge gap in strength. Zhang Heng didn't care about the two knives that were slashed at his chest, because their masters had already slashed. One step fell under his continuous slash, the blade didn't penetrate deep into the flesh under the effect of inertia, it just looked bloody, but it made him look like a madman.

The next moment Zhang Heng finally stood in front of the proprietress.

Probably because the spirit was too frightened, the proprietress had even forgotten that she hadn't filled the gunpowder and put the projectile in. She raised the Tanegashima iron cannon in her hand, as if grabbing the last straw, Desperately pulled the trigger on Zhang Heng, but only a little white smoke came out of the gun.

Immediately afterwards, her head flew up, and no amount of foundation could conceal the fear on her face.

"Great! Let's fight out together!!!" Okita Souji cheered up.

Although there are still a lot of dead soldiers left in the tea house, with the death of the proprietress, no one can command them anymore, and their combat power has been greatly reduced, which is a good time to break out.

However, Zhang Heng's gaze was looking to the other side. He probably heard the names of Shinsengumi and Isamu Kondo.

They walked through the side door, and the most important of them were Shinsaku Takasugi and the French businessman Gabriel. There were also some samurai who did not leave, and raised their knives to kill Zhang Heng and Souji Okita.

Zhang Heng knew in his heart that tonight was the best chance to get Tsuzumaru Tsuneji. Shinsaku Takasugi and Hanjiro Nakamura were hidden away and rarely showed up. Especially if the incident tonight was revealed, Shinsaku Takasugi might not stay in the dangerous place of Kyoto. If Hanjiro Nakamura protects him and returns to the Changzhou Domain, it will be difficult for Zhang Heng to get this famous sword.

But Zhang Heng was not reckless, he quickly evaluated his current physical condition in his mind, and weighed the success rate and risk of taking the knife.

Director Okita wiped the blood from his face, and followed Zhang Heng's gaze, with a strange expression on his face, "Is there any grudge between Brother Abe and the Changzhou clansman?"

"No grievances, I just want to count the beads." Zhang Hengshun said without hiding anything.

Surprise flashed in Okita's eyes. He didn't say the whole thing before. When he rushed in to rescue Zhang Heng, he didn't doubt the relationship between Zhang Heng and the Banbai faction. After all, the two actually only had Kiyomizu Temple's side. Tufang often said that knowing people knows faces but not hearts, let alone two people who are relatively strangers.

However, this problem was solved when he rushed in and saw Zhang Heng fighting fiercely with those dead soldiers. However, Mr. Okita never thought that the reason why Zhang Heng appeared here tonight was just for a knife? !
