Chapter 573 Your Opponent Tonight Is Me

When Zhang Heng was observing Shinsaku Takasugi's whereabouts on the roof of the machiya, the general manager Okita below actually couldn't rest for a long time, because the remnants of the tea house followed closely behind him.

Souji Okita's back leaned against the wall, and he only had time to take a breath before turning over and throwing himself into the battle again. The Taidao in his hand whistled softly, ushering in a new wave of blood baptism.

Zhang Heng jumped down from the roof, stabbed left and right, chopped down two people in one breath, helped Chong Tian out of the siege, and at the same time told him what he saw from above.

"Then what should we do, shall we chase separately?" Okita Souji asked.

"No, I already know which team Shinsaku Takasugi is in." Zhang Heng said.

Although the current distance makes it difficult to see the faces of the two teams at night, no matter what happens, Nakamura Hanjiro, the bodyguard, will definitely not leave Takasugi Shinsaku's side, and he is taller than ordinary people, so it is still very good That's why Zhang Heng can quickly determine the location of Shinsaku Takasugi.

"Great, let's rush over!" Okita Souji's eyes were hot, he knew that sweat was flowing in, and besides that, he felt that his throat was blocked by something, which made him uncomfortable, so He coughed loudly twice.

On this night full of blood and fire, Souji Okita did not notice the smell of blood in his mouth.

…………

Shinsaku Takasugi has to admit that this time he underestimated the guys from the Shinsengumi again, not just the opponent's amazing combat power, but the most important thing is that he misunderstood Zhang Heng's identity, thinking that the latter is also a spy of the Shinsengumi, otherwise It's hard to explain where his martial arts skills come from, and why the people in the tea house killed the newly selected members of the group when he did it.

The French businessman was also in the escaping team. He also changed clothes with a samurai from the Changzhou domain, but the feathered pattern worn by the other party looked a little funny on his body, especially the size difference between the two. The French businessman At best, he could only be regarded as wearing that dress, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead while running with a helpless expression on his face.

The person was brought by him. The translator who had been working with him before had a sudden illness and was unable to come here after staying in Osaka. What's more, with Gabriel's prudence, he also observed Zhang Heng for a while before hiring Zhang Heng. He saw that Zhang Heng had also talked about work with other Western businessmen before choosing him. Originally, he just wanted to use Zhang Heng as a one-time use tool. , I never thought that it would bring about such disastrous consequences.

In short, whether it is Takasugi Shinsaku or Gabriel, both of them basically believe that Zhang Heng is a member of the Shinsengumi, or at least a member of the shogunate, even if their imagination is 10,000 times richer. It was impossible to guess that Zhang Heng came tonight just for a knife.

Shinsaku Takasugi was the first to run because of his special status. When Director Okita signed up outside, no matter whether the follow-up reinforcements from the Shinsengumi really came back, he was ready to evacuate, but his body did It was a big problem. I walked into the house and chatted with Gabriel Al before, and it seemed that there was no serious problem, but now I couldn't hide it when I ran, but I started to pant after a few steps.

However, Takasugi Shinsaku then rejected the proposal of others to help him, and he gritted his teeth and insisted on running for a certain distance. He staggered, but fell directly to the ground, his arms and palms were scratched, blood was flowing, he looked a little embarrassed, No one would have thought that a generation of heroes who had been talking and laughing in front of the spears and cannons of the shogunate fleet a year ago would be reduced to the current situation.

The words "the end of a hero" could not help but emerge in the hearts of everyone who witnessed this scene.

Hanjiro Nakamura showed a rare look of worry on his national character face, and said to a Bushido from the Changzhou Domain next to him, "I have to find a sedan chair."

Gion is a famous place of wind and moon in Kyoto. It is very lively every night, and there are many dignitaries coming and going. It is not difficult to find a sedan chair. However, in order to confuse the other party, the group of the Banbai faction decided to divide into two groups. Therefore, Shinsaku Takasugi did not choose to leave in a sedan chair.

But now his physical strength has obviously reached its limit, and it is meaningless to be obsessed with exposing or not. Otherwise, at their current speed, the opponent may even kill another team first and then turn back to find them.

But at this time, some people were lucky and asked, "Will those two guys have been killed by our people?"

Hanjiro Nakamura glanced back in Ukichi's direction, shook his head and said, "If those two are dead, someone should put out the fire."

But the reality is that the fire in the tea house is getting bigger and bigger, even alarming the neighbors.

The two samurai drew their knives and forced a man who came to drink on the road to roll off the sedan chair, and then together they put up Takasugi Shinsaku who seemed to be in a bad situation.

"Get out of here quickly!" Nakamura Hanjiro told the bearer.

His unusually tall figure and aura made the porters dare not resist at all. They obediently lifted up the sedan chair and ran towards the direction he ordered. Nakamura Hanjiro was about to follow, but The next moment, he suddenly stopped, turned around, and saw the boy appearing on the other side of the street.

The latter looked very bad, with several cuts on his arms and legs, and the haori on his body was almost soaked in blood, sticking to his chest, but his eyes were bright as if they were about to burn look the same.

"Follow up with your lord, let me take care of it here." Nakamura Hanjiro said in a deep voice to the remaining people around him.

Several samurai of the Banbai faction, including Takeuchi, glanced at each other, without saying anything, they immediately turned to chase Takasugi Shinsaku's sedan chair.

Hanjiro Nakamura was standing alone in the middle of the street, but he was like a tiger dominating a dragon, with thousands of troops.

He raised his head to the person rushing, his tone remained unchanged, "Director Chong Tian?"

"Heh." Okita responded, and pulled out the Taidao from his waist, because too many people were killed tonight, even the scabbard was covered with blood, and the blood dripped down the tip of the knife to the ground, for his handsome His face was also stained with killing intent, and he said every word, "No matter who you are, anyone who stands in my way tonight will die!"

"That depends on whether you have the life to take it or not." Nakamura Hanjiro said indifferently when he heard the words, and finally moved the palm of his right hand to Suzumaru Tsuneji on his waist.

But at this moment, a voice came from the roof in front of him, "Your opponent tonight is me."

Then Zhang Heng turned his head to Okita and said, "Go after Shinsaku Takasugi and hand him over to me. The cooperation we discussed before will be considered complete."
