Tokyo: My Super Powers are updated every week

Chapter 851 The Shinsengumi with different styles of painting
Tokugawa Iemo wanted to maintain the status quo and did not want to take risks.

But he is not the kind of cowardly, incompetent and short-sighted General Zhengyi. He knows very well that his desire to maintain the status quo is just wishful thinking and weakness.

From the inside out, how many of you have this idea?
Everyone wants to change.

Their thoughts will eventually force him to make a choice.

But at that point, does his choice still make sense?
Tokugawa Iemo didn't want to end up in a situation where he didn't even have the power to choose. He wanted to take advantage of the power in his hands to try and give it a try.

Just severing the emperor's lineage would be too politically risky if exposed, and Tokugawa Iemo couldn't help but worry while waiting for his cronies.

He thought about it.

If there is peace in the world, the general who conquers the barbarians will see everything he sees as meek and submissive, and he should be gentle in his actions.

The world is unstable right now, and loyalty and betrayal are often just a matter of thoughts.

If he cannot betray others first, he will surely be betrayed by others.

The emperor is now willing to support the integration of public and military affairs, but what about the future?

Under the persuasion of the people below, the emperor may not change his mind.

Therefore, he must find a way out for himself before Emperor Xiaoming changes his mind.

If the combination of public and military forces cannot be pushed forward, then the shogunate's dominance will continue.

Tokugawa Iemo secretly clenched his fists and thought that the method proposed by Qingze was very good.

Although he didn't have that much trust in this person of unknown origin.

But again, he said it verbally and let his confidants accompany him, without leaving any actual physical evidence to prove himself.

You don’t have to worry about yourself being involved if things fail or betrayal happen in the future.

His confidants quickly arrived here.

The man also had Tsukiyo hair, wore a light blue kimono, and had a samurai sword at his waist.

He is not as tall as Tokugawa Iemo, only 1.65 meters tall.

The neck is thick and the legs are bowed, but it doesn't look funny.

Looking forward, he revealed the ferocious temperament of a beast that eats people.

"This is Toshi Ono. His family has served the Tokugawa family for a long time. He is absolutely loyal."

Tokugawa Iemo gave a brief introduction, and then said with a straight face: "This is Aosawa, you will go with him to Kyoto, meet with Matsudaira Yoshiho, and tell that person."

Before he finished speaking, Qingze interrupted: "I heard that there is a rural samurai organization in Kyoto called the Shinsengumi. I can use it to make them cooperate with me."

"it is good."

Tokugawa Iemo had no impression of the Shinsengumi. Before the Ikedaya incident, the Shinsengumi was just a small security force under the shogunate.

Even the name Shinsengumi was given by the shogunate.

But Tokugawa Iemo still didn't remember that there were not only 1000 but also 800 people he commended below.

If he could remember them all, Tokugawa Iemo would not be so free.

Ono Toshichi's face changed drastically, his eyes revealed murderous intent, "You disrespectful person!"

Holding the handle of the knife, he wanted to punish this madman for interrupting General Zhengyi's speech.

The so-called master humiliates his ministers to death!
As a warrior, how could he sit back and watch his master be insulted in front of him.

"presumptuous!"

Tokugawa Iemo shouted angrily and said with a straight face: "Mr. Aosawa is my distinguished guest, you must treat him with the same respect as you treat me.

After arriving in Kyoto, follow his instructions on everything, never slack off, and don't ask for any reason. "

In his opinion, the matter of assassinating the emperor should be the highest level of top secret, and the fewer people know about it, the better.

"Hi."

Ohno Toshihi took his right hand away from the handle of the knife, and his expression became respectful again.

The contrast between before and after seems very big, but in fact it is not big at all. It fully reflects the perverted loyalty of the samurai to his master, which is the so-called bushido.

Qingze looked down on such foolish loyalty, and the shadows under his feet suddenly spread, dragging Ohno Toshiji and him into the shadow world, sinking slowly.

Mainly because he wanted to comfort Tokugawa Iemo and said: "You can wait for the news from Ikedaya with peace of mind, and then the time for us to actually take action will be next month."

"Thank you sir."

Tokugawa Iemo's face was full of respect, and he watched Qingze sink into the ground, his shadow quickly retracted, and then disappeared.

The ground shows traces of light.

Tokugawa Iemo took a deep breath, turned to the window, opened it, and was greeted by a night breeze from outside. He looked at the silent night and the rising lights of Edo Castle.

This is his kingdom!

Tokugawa Iemo squeezed the window frame tightly, and his heart was beating for this big gamble.

Sometimes I think that Qingze cannot be trusted, and sometimes I think that everyone is dead on both sides, why can't we give it a try?
If Qingze really wanted to harm him, he could kill him and no one could stop him.

Take a gamble!
Tokugawa Iemo breathed out a heavy breath and looked up at the sky. It was not a good weather tonight and the moon could not be seen. It did not seem to be a good sign.

It made him feel even more irritable.

……

Ohno Toshiji fell into the shadow world.

He couldn't see left or right, and even with the cold nature of a samurai, he couldn't help but become a little panicked, so he could only hold the sword at his waist.

He had heard about the abilities of demon warriors for a long time, but he didn't expect that there were such demon warriors.

After a brief moment of vigilance, he heard Qingze's voice, "We're here, let's go up."

"what?!"

Ono Toshi's face couldn't help showing surprise. The nearest road from Edo to Kyoto required more than 400 kilometers.

And he fell into the shadows. Until now, it feels like he has already traveled from Edo to Kyoto in less than a cup of tea? !
When did the demon warrior become so powerful?
Ohno Toshiji was stunned, his body was controlled by Qingze and a shadow emerged upwards.

He looked around for the first time and saw that there were no lights on.

The room was covered with dim gauze, but he had just emerged from the absolute darkness. In his eyes, such dimness was already relatively bright, and he could tell that this was a bedroom.

The area is not small.

There are warriors guarding the outside.

The light projected from the colonnade reflects on the Aizu samurai and turns into a silhouette in the window.

But at this moment, no one spoke either inside or outside the house.

A deeper shadow spread from Qingze's feet, restraining Matsudaira Yongho and his concubine on the bed, as well as the samurai waiting outside.

"Don't be so scared."

Qingze sat casually on the bedside, glanced at Ohno Toshishi and said, "Come and announce the general's order."

Ono Junzhi wanted to angrily scold the General Zhengyi for his attitude, but considering the opponent's shocking strength, he still endured it and chose to obey the orders of the General Zhengyi.

His death is a small matter, but the important thing is not to delay the master's important affairs.

"Matsudaira, the guardian of Kyoto, has an order from General Zheng Yi, asking you to transfer the Shinsengumi to this lord for his dispatch. Don't ask what he does."

Matsudaira Rongho, who had eyes wide at first, breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most afraid of was that the other party was someone with patriotism against the foreigners.

When I heard that it was someone from the shogunate, my anxious heart instantly relaxed.

The shogunate ruled Japan for a long time.

There were people who opposed the shogunate in various places, and there were also people who supported the shogunate.

The Aizu Domain where Matsudaira Yōho is located supports the survival of the shogunate.

He nodded to show that he understood.

Qingze took back the shadow. In an instant, the warriors outside were furious and rushed in one by one. Some of them shouted: "There is an assassin!"

"This is a misunderstanding!"

Matsudaira Yongho shouted, and the swords drawn by the samurai froze in mid-air.

They looked at their master.

Matsudaira Yongho sat up. If he didn't look at Tsukiyo's head, his appearance would be rated 99 points.

It seems, at most fifty points.

This shows his level of appearance.

With a straight face, he waved his hands and said, "You all go down and ask Taro to come over and see me."

After saying that, Matsudaira Yongho turned to Aozawa and said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask Taro to send a message to the Shinsengumi."

"it is good."

Qingze nodded.

Matsudaira Yongbao wanted to ask, what did General Zhengyi want to do?
I just thought of the order not to bother me and chose to swallow it silently.

Hey, Songping Rongbao sighed slightly in his heart. He thought he was deeply trusted by General Zhengyi.

Now it seems that it may be the appreciation of Emperor Xiaomei that prevents him from gaining the complete trust of General Zhengyi.

This fact made him depressed and a little relieved.

As a superior, how can you let the people below guess everything?

The general who conquered the barbarians became more and more like a king.

Only such people can find a way out of the stormy situation and allow the shogunate to continue to exist.

……

Kyoto, Shinsengumi headquarters.

It was late at night, but the senior leaders of the Shinsengumi were still awake and chose to talk by candlelight.

The spies they planted sent word that Yuya Kiemon had indeed colluded with people from the Choshu Domain and probably wanted to set fire to Kyoto.

Just when to act? how many people? Place?
These Shinsengumi have not yet been identified.

Shinsengumi Director Isamu Kondo knelt down on the stage, looked around, and said solemnly: "The recent situation is not optimistic. In Kyoto, there are more and more anti-barbarian patriots who are doing whatever they want under the name of Tenchu.

There are even demon warriors mixed in among them.

But that's not a bad thing.

Without prey, hawks and dogs can only serve as delicacies on the table. "

Having said this, a fierce look flashed across Isamu Kondo's face, and he raised the corners of his mouth as he said, "Some people in Kyoto look down on us, thinking that we are a group of rural samurai who are not worth mentioning.

This incident of Yuya Kiemon colluding with the Choshu Domain is a key battle for us to build our name, and there is no room for failure! "

The Shinsengumi samurai were attentive.

They knew that after the director finished his words of encouragement, the next step would be for Hijikata Toizo, the deputy director of the ghost, to arrange related tasks.

The Shinsengumi has always been like this, because Kondo Isamu is not good at such small details, and is only responsible for the general policy, and the remaining details are added by Hijikata Toshizo.

"At daybreak, we will set off immediately, arrest Yuya Kiemon, and then interrogate the Choshu Domain's anti-barbarian patriots about their whereabouts."

When Toshizo Hijikata said this, there were thumping footsteps outside the door, and a slender figure was reflected on the sliding door, "Director, Matsudaira Kyoto Guardian sent someone over and said that the Shinsengumi will be under the jurisdiction of a big shot in the shogunate.

He also said that it was the order of the general who conquered the barbarians and could not be violated. "

The Shinsengumi warriors present, including Hijikata Toshizo, frowned slightly, not that they had any objections to the shogunate.

But the timing was not chosen well.

Kondo Isamu sighed: "Let's go meet the big shot."

……

Leaving the meeting hall and walking along the corridor with hanging paper lanterns, the group came to the front yard.

The night in Kyoto tonight is not very beautiful.

The stars are hidden behind the dark clouds, and the bright moon only shows its curved corners. The little moonlight is not enough to illuminate the earth.

The front yard naturally seemed dark as well.

Kondo Isamu saw Qingze dressed strangely.

The clothing looked like a worker working at the dock, but the fabric on his body could be seen to be anything but rough linen.

He is very young. He seems to be the child of a high-ranking official in the shogunate?

If that's the case, that's trouble.

Isamu Kondo wanted to be a wolf under the shogunate, ruthlessly biting his prey, rather than a dog that only played with children.

With that in mind, he didn't show any contempt on his face as he strode forward and said, "Shinsengumi Director Isamu Kondo pays homage to you, sir. I wonder how I should address you?"

Aozawa looked at the Shinsengumi with great interest, feeling that these people were not in the same style as the other samurai in the shogunate!

Perhaps because there was no Ruzuki Daitou, the Shinsengumi samurai had thick hair.

It seems that all the good looks of this era are gathered in the Shinsengumi.

What surprised him even more was that among the members of the Shinsengumi, there was actually a beautiful girl.

Although the other party was dressed like a man and wore a haori like other Shinsengumi samurai, Aozawa could still recognize her as a woman between her eyebrows.

"I've heard about the Shinsengumi for a long time, but I didn't expect that you actually have female members?"

Isamu Kondo said respectfully: "Sir, Yukimura, she is a demon warrior."

"What's your name?"

After hearing Qingze's question, Xuecun didn't dare to entrust him without permission.

Even though she didn't have a good impression of this kind of gilded second-generation shogunate, she didn't want to implicate the Shinsengumi who kindly took her in. She stepped forward and said, "The little girl's name is Yukimura Tsuruko."

"Good name."

Qingze boasted casually, and then said: "I have received news that people from the Choshu clan are planning to set fire to Kyoto, kidnap the emperor and flee to Choshu. Have you received the information?"

"Hi, we have initially identified the relevant suspects and are preparing to arrest them!"

Isamu Kondo replied respectfully.

Among the people present, only his identity could answer Qingze's question, and the others chose to serve as backdrops.

The Shinsengumi were planning to catch people at dawn.

Because they already knew that the other party wanted to take action on June 5th.

If they can deal with those in the Choshu Domain on that day, they can show their superior ability to deal with emergencies.

If it is resolved in advance, there won't be that sense of urgent crisis.

However, after learning the relevant news from above, they could not choose to do that. They could only change their strategy and attack tonight to defeat the enemy.

Lest the higher-ups think that the Shinsengumi is incompetent.

"Do not worry."

Qingze waved his hand and said with a smile: "We will start arresting people after dawn.

I'm tired, so I'll find a place to sleep first. "

He planned to leave this parallel world when he returned to his room, and then come back during the day.

Although Qingze is in this parallel world, time cannot jump around.

But after he leaves, time can jump back without being restricted by the normal flow of time.
