Chapter 549 Hong Jiang's Sincerity

Hongjiang could roughly guess what Isshin was worried about. At present, if the Invisible Empire had not been found, it would be a disaster for other Quincies to prepare for the war in advance.

And the first ones to bear the brunt would be Ishida Ryugen and Ishida Uryu, father and son. This could be said to be Isshin's bottom line.

Of course, others might not know, but Hongjiang knew his own business.

In the next war, unless they could ensure a preemptive strike, the safety of Ishida Ryugen and Ishida Uryu would also be crucial to the war situation.

The question is, can Hongjiang guarantee a preemptive strike?

It's ridiculous. It's difficult enough to strike first, not to mention the subsequent strike. He is not absolutely sure of either of these two.

In addition, even if Isshin pointed out, the old man Shan and the 46th Chamber would not easily believe it. It is uncertain whether they can use this to encircle and suppress the remaining Quincies again. How could Hongjiang cut off all his retreat routes?

"From the beginning, I never said that I was asking you on behalf of Seireitei, Uncle Isshin." Hongjiang said shockingly: "I just want to tell you how important this matter is and my determination to find out the power behind it!"

"You want to solve it yourself?" Isshin didn't believe his ears.

Hongjiang shook his head. Even though he had just solved Aizen, he was not arrogant enough to think that he could solve the Invisible Empire by himself.

"A force that could quickly wipe out an entire squad a hundred years ago, and has been subdued for such a long time, I don't think it will be easier to deal with than Aizen."

"What do you mean?"

"I just want to find the real culprit behind the scenes, not to know, but to pull them out of the shadows, just like Urahara let Aizen reveal his ambitions." Hongjiang said, his eyes full of determination: "Only when the Soul Society sees the existence of the enemy with their own eyes can we truly unite and face the upcoming danger together!"

Isshin understood what Hongjiang meant. If he just presented a name to the old man Shan and the Forty-Six Rooms, then in order to find the real location of this name, innocent Quincies such as Ryugen would certainly suffer unprovoked disasters.

But if the location of the enemy can be explained directly, the intermediate investigation steps will naturally be reduced, and the enemy will naturally be fixed.

If the enemy lurking in the dark can be solved without involving innocent people, it is of course the best choice from Isshin's perspective.

"What if you can't find the hidden power with all your strength?" Yixin asked, "The attitude you show is also a sign of madness in my eyes."

Yes, the beauty described by Hongjiang is all based on the premise that the other party can find that power alone. When this premise cannot be met, what will happen?

To be honest, Yixin has never seen Hongjiang so anxious about something. From the time when the other party first showed his edge, in Yixin's eyes, Hongjiang has always shown a calmness that does not match his age. After a hundred years, this calmness is even more difficult to break.

But in this matter, he saw from Hongjiang the haste and panic that seemed to have never been shown in him, which belonged to the teenager.

Maybe this junior is still calm at the moment, but in his current state, no one can guarantee that he can always stay calm.

Oath? Perhaps it is the easiest thing to break after a person goes crazy.

Hongjiang took a deep breath. He knew what Yixin was worried about, and he knew that he was eager to take the first step and was no longer like himself.

"I can promise you anything. Of course, you can doubt the authenticity of my promise at will, so I don't need to waste my breath to give you any meaningless promises."

"But you have to understand that Ishida Uryu's friendship is also extremely important to me."

Hongjiang exhaled slowly, and his speech speed gradually became faster: "Since I returned to the Soul Society, the idea of ​​the co-working bureau appeared in my mind. In my heart, this is an important beginning to change the Soul Society, and it is the future that can make up for the past regrets in my mind."

"If I were younger, I might temporarily sacrifice this future to cope with the current difficulties. But now it's different. Even if I have the idea of ​​sacrificing, the price of regret is too heavy."

"Of course, if you think it's meaningless to measure the future with the present, I can also explain my thinking based on the current situation."

Looking at Hongjiang who paused suddenly, Ye Yi seemed to be able to feel the huge pressure in this man's heart, just like a gambler who bet everything, eager but a little uneasy.

Isshin also had a similar feeling, but at this moment, Hongjiang made him feel at ease.

Although he was extremely persistent about the secret in his heart, he could also feel the determination of the future that Hongjiang wanted from his performance. There was Ichigo in it, but there was more than just Ichigo. It was a future where everyone could truly unite and simply want to protect this world.

Perhaps, this junior in front of him really began to jump out of the narrow identity of the god of death? But he was still unwilling to dispel the prejudice in his heart? Isshin thought so.

Just as Hongjiang was about to speak, Isshin suddenly stood up and looked at Hongjiang with sharp eyes: "You don't need to say anything more."

"Uncle Isshin..."

"I can tell you what I know, and I can also provide all the help I can."

I didn't expect Isshin to suddenly change his attitude, which made Hongjiang happy, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

Immediately afterwards, he realized that things would not go so smoothly and asked, "What do I need to do?"

What a smart guy, Yi Xin sighed secretly. If it weren't for the other party's uncontrollable smile and such fast reaction speed, he couldn't help but wonder if the previous events were faked by Hong Jiang.

"Two demands!" Isshin said, raising a finger: "First, you must abide by your promise. Only after you find the Quincy force can you report it to the Seireitei! If you violate your promise, I will not Room 46 will cooperate with you, even if I bear the responsibility."

Hong Jiang nodded, "Of course."

Isshin then raised a second finger: "Second, I don't ask you to show mercy to that Quincy force, but after the war, you must not attack the remaining Quincy forces like you did a hundred years ago."

This is your final test...

"Are you testing me, Uncle Isshin?"

Under Yi Xin's surprised eyes, Hong Jiang slowly said: "Of course I can promise you. After all, if according to my speculation, after that force is eliminated, all the Quincies should have lost their power, right?"

"If Seireitei wants to take action against them at that time, I will never allow it."
