I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 18 Fierce fight!Yagyu VS Izo
At night, the streets of Marutamachi were silent. Inaba Masakuni, who stayed up late into the night, finally mustered up the courage to leave Kyoto Sashiro with his twenty samurai retainers.

Yagyu and the others had dressed up as feudal lords of the Yodo clan and were hiding among the team.

In the darkness, Takeshi Zuishan looked at Inaba Masakuni's team and said with a smile: "We actually waited until the team of Inaba Masakuni, the lord of Yodo Domain, were killed. If we kill him, the shogunate will definitely know our determination to fight against the invaders!"

"Yizang, it's up to you, kill him!"

"Tanaka, please help me too, please!"

Okada Izo and Tanaka Shinbei nodded, and immediately took action with more than [-] other patriots who fought against the foreigners.

This group of people assassinated the four ministers of Kyoto Town, Kinsaburo Watanabe, Shigezo Ohgawara, Roku Mori and Sukeno Ueda in Ezhou Ishibejuku.

There are ten other people, including Kusaka Genrui and others, who have returned to Changzhou Xiaguan.

Takeichi Zuishan assassinated the shogunate in Kyoto in order to cooperate with Kusaka Genzui's plan to expel the barbarians.

"Swish..."

More than 20 people walked out of the alley and blocked the team's path.

The two samurai holding lanterns at the front were one of the Yodo feudal lords and the other was Okita Souji.

The feudal lord drew his sword with one hand and shouted: "Who is this!"

Tanaka Shinbei shouted: "We, the patriots who fight against the barbarians, will do justice for heaven, and the traitors shall be punished!"

"on!"

Okada Izo immediately charged, holding the sheath in one hand and the handle of the knife in the other. Souji Okada immediately threw away the lantern and stepped forward to hold the handle of the knife.

Okada Izo rushed forward in an instant, and immediately drew his sword and cut his belly. Okita Souji did not miss a beat. The two drew their swords at the same time, and the blades collided, sparks bursting out.

The two men quickly drew their knives, taking advantage of the situation and going against the cassock, slashing left and right, regardless of the outcome.

Okada Izo immediately slashed the Dantō with one hand and defeated Okita Souji.

Chief Okita said excitedly: "It is well-deserved to kill people to hide them."

"who are you?"

Okada Izo couldn't help but ask.

Okita Souji smiled and said: "Okita Souji, captain of the Shinsengumi [-]st Team."

"New Selection Group!"

Tanaka Shinbei who was behind was very surprised when he heard this. He thought that the people in Kyoto would not ask the Shinsengumi for help.

Okada Izo also heard about the name of the Shinsengumi, and he immediately asked: "Is our chief Yagyu Jubei here?"

Yagyu took off the battle hat on his head, walked in front of everyone, and said with a straight face: "Tenchu ​​No. 1 Tanaka Shinbei, who killed Okada Izo, has long been admired."

Okada Izo looked at Yagyu and said: "The director of the Shinsengumi, Yagyu Jubei, is indeed very strong."

Tanaka Shinbei also felt pressure when he saw Yagyu.

Yagyu asked: "If someone kills Yizang, how about a fight between the two of us?"

"Okay, I wish I could!"

After everyone heard this, they immediately vacated the battlefield, leaving Yagyu and Okada Izo to fight alone.

Okada Izo didn't wait for Yagyu to draw his sword, and immediately rushed forward and connected with the horizontal one moji. Yagyu slid sideways, drew his sword and slashed horizontally with the flick of the sword. Then he slashed with the reverse cassock, and volleyed with the horizontal one moji, but Yagyu retreated.

Yagyu reacted in a neutral position, Okada Izo relaxed his whole body, held the knife in one hand, and then stabbed with one hand. Yagyu slashed, slid forward and stabbed, Izo tilted his head and slid away, and followed the trend with a right slash with one hand. Yagyu volleyed with a single word, flicked his knife, and then reversed the cassock. Yizang counterattacked with a backhand, and was cut back again.

Okada Izo was defeated twice at a disadvantage, which made Tanaka Shinbei very worried.

Okada Izo was very excited and wanted to fight again. Yagyu took the initiative to attack and rushed towards Izo quickly. Izo shouted and slashed with Tangzhu. Yagyu immediately turned around, slashed horizontally with his sword, and used Tornado Flash.Okada Izo dodged sideways to the limit, blocking the knife with one hand, and a wound was made on his face by Yagyu, and blood oozed out after a while.

Tanaka Shinbei was horrified and immediately shouted: "Izo, retreat, everyone retreat!"

Hijikata Toshizo immediately shouted: "Kill, we can't let them escape!"

Takeichi Zuishan was the first to escape. Tanaka Shinbei and Okada Izo also fled to the Tosa domain under the cover of other anti-barbarian patriots. As for the remaining more than 20 reform patriots, five were killed, eight were captured, and the others fled in all directions. .

Although Okada Izo and Tanaka Shinbei escaped, everyone also saw that Yagyu's swordsmanship was still superior to that of his opponent.

However, Inaba Masakuni was a little dissatisfied and said: "Director Yagyu, now that Izo has escaped, what should I do next?"

Yagyu reassured: "Don't worry, Lord Nagato, I will let the inspection team investigate them. Now there is an extra scar on Renzhan Yizou's face, which is easier to find."

Inaba Masakuni breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll leave it to Director Yagyu."

Yagyu sent Inaba Masakuni back to his residence and took the others back to the camp. Takeda Kanryusai and others who were still waiting were relieved to see Yagyu and the others returning intact.

Genzaburo Inoue smiled and said, "How about it? Is Izou dead?"

Okita Souji immediately said excitedly: "Gen-san, Izo is really good at killing people. I had a spar with him and we couldn't decide the winner, but Mr. Yagyu slashed his face."

Hijikata Toshizo said with some regret: "It's a pity that he ran away."

Genzaburo Inoue quickly comforted him: "It doesn't matter. Since Izo Renzan is no match, just defeat him next time."

Okita Souji nodded and said, "Then I will train harder."

Yagyu said: "Everyone has worked hard, go and have a rest early. The matter of killing Izo will be handed over to the inspection team for investigation. Hijikata, Shannan, Souji, Saito, and Sanosuke are all on standby at any time."

"Hi!"

The next day, Yagyu took Takeda Kanryusai and Shannan Keisuke to the betting house. The decoration in the room was being carried out according to Yagyu's design drawings.

Yagyu looked around, and then led the two of them back to the small courtyard next to the camp, where the female employees of the gaming house lived.

When a group of beauties saw Yagyu coming, they quickly greeted him sweetly.

Yagyu sat down and said: "Everyone will be the croupier of the gambling house from now on. In these days, everyone should learn the gambling equipment that they are responsible for.

In addition to the traditional dice, Hanafuda, and shogi, our gambling house has also added new gambling equipment such as mahjong and playing cards.

Today I will teach you how to play these new gambling equipment. "

The first set of gambling equipment that Yagyu took out was a sparrow. Sparrows have a long history in neighboring China and can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.

In modern times, sparrows gradually matured until they became popular in modern times.

And sparrow is the Japanese name. In Japan, there are countless people who love sparrows. There are even Japanese dramas dedicated to sparrows.

Yagyu took out the sparrow and explained the most basic gameplay. Even Shannan Keisuke, who was not interested, couldn't help but look at the sparrow.

After Yagyu explained the basic gameplay, he asked three beauties to play mahjong with him. Yagyu explained while playing, and continued to deepen his impression.

Especially when he touched himself at the end, he said: "Everyone, remember, the most basic thing about Sparrow is to remember the cards. Seeing the cards on the table and the cards taken back by the opponent, guessing the opponent's card type, these are all the things we play. The key to winning over the other side.”

Shannan Keisuke clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "I didn't expect that this little sparrow has so much knowledge. I'm really impressed."

Takeda Kanryusai was convinced.
