I started with the Shinsengumi in Bakumatsu

Chapter 45 The Trap of the Beautiful Ninja
Today, the Shinsengumi failed to find Nakayama Tadamitsu in Choshu Domain. This matter made the Choshu Domain make a fuss. The Aizu Domain was under great pressure. Hirosawa Tomijiro came to inquire about the details.

But Yagyu didn't say anything. He only asked Lord Matsudaira to wait for the good news. Seeing that Yagyu was resolute, Hirosawa Tomijiro had no choice but to return to Kurodani Guangming Temple to report.

Komori Kyutarou immediately seized the opportunity and said: "My lord, look at Yagyu Jubei's attitude. He was a little vain just now, but he doesn't take the lord seriously. He is so arrogant!"

Tanaka Tosa quickly comforted Komori Kyutaro and said: "Perhaps Chief Yagyu has his own reasons. He still has some strategies. Besides, this time we are dealing with Katsura Kogoro of the Choshu Domain, so we should be more cautious."

Komori Kyutaro said anxiously: "How can Mr. Tanaka speak for him? Because his action failed today, my lord has been criticized by the Choshu clan and the Sanjo Huangmen!"

Matsudaira Yongho opened his eyes and said: "Okay, Kutaro, since Jubei wants to act secretly, let's wait a few more days."

Komori Kyutaro was secretly anxious. He felt that Yagyu Jubei was a scourge, and the Aizu clan would be trapped deeper and deeper in this whirlpool because of Yagyu and the Shinsengumi!

Lord, how can you understand how dangerous the situation of the Aizu Domain is!

Komori Kutaro did not have the courage to say this. After all, he had learned from the past. His mother, Lao Xixiang, had been ordered by Matsudaira Yōho to live in seclusion in the domain because of her advice. He could only shut up and look for other opportunities.

In the evening, Yagyu didn't go to Flower Street to look for his friends. After all, there was a duel with Katsura Kogoro tonight, and he had to personally handle emergencies.

However, Azhu, who lives in the female workers' dormitory of the gaming house next door, dressed up and came to the camp to meet Yagyu.

The guard knew Ah Zhu and let her in.

Azhu went to Yagyu and saluted: "Mr. Yagyu, thanks to your care these days, the little girl has settled down in this huge Kyoto. Today, the little girl has free time, and I would like to treat Master Yagyu to a simple meal to express my gratitude."

Liu Sheng looked at Ah Zhu with some suspicion, why was this woman inviting guests to dinner at such a time?
He immediately cleared up his doubts. This woman didn't know that her actions tonight were within the normal range, so she chose this time.

But it's too much of a coincidence.

Liu Sheng nodded and said, "That's fine. I happen to have some time and haven't eaten yet. I'm happy to accept the invitation from a beautiful girl like you, A-Zhu."

Azhu said with a face of joy: "Okita-sama is right. Yagyu-sama may seem cold, but he is actually a very interesting person."

Liu Sheng stood up immediately and accompanied A Zhu to leave the camp.

Hijikata Toshizo and Kondo Isamu just happened to come back with a lunch box, and they happened to see Yagyu and Azumi walking away.

Hijikata Toshizo said with an unhappy tone: "Is the director so attractive? The most beautiful Azhu next door is actually with the director. How can it be repaired? I am obviously more attractive because I know haiku!"

Souji Okita added: "Maybe it's because the director is highly skilled in martial arts and can make money, which makes him more attractive to women, right?"

"Director!"

"Ah hahaha, I'm going to practice sword practice!"

Isamu Kondo laughed at the side and said, "Can't you just let Souji go?"

Hijikata Toshizo said seriously: "Tonight, there is an operation to arrest Nakayama Tadamitsu. We are going to make Katsura Kogoro and the Choshu clan suffer. The director asked us to bring food and we did not leave the camp. We just wanted to wait for Shimada and the others. information.

At this time, he actually left with a woman. According to the director's mind, it was definitely not because of lust, but maybe because there was something wrong with this woman. "

"Ah?" Isamu Kondo was a little confused. No, didn't you just say that?

"Ah Sui, you've made me very confused."

Toshizo Hijikata patted Kondo Isamu on the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You will chop whoever I ask you to chop when the time comes." Kondo Isamu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After leaving the camp, Yagyu and Azhu came to the restaurant opposite Kirigakuki's hiding place.

The owner of this restaurant is actually a member of the Akabi-gumi. This restaurant mainly sells soba noodles. After all, Shinano’s buckwheat is a specialty.

Azhu said with a smile on his face: "Director, try the soba noodles here, it's delicious!"

Liu Sheng sat down directly, glanced at the facilities in the room casually, and then frowned slightly. He felt something was wrong, with murderous intent, the feeling that someone was watching from the dark.

He immediately grasped the handle of the knife and said, "Why don't you do it yet? If I draw the knife, I will have no chance."

Azhu's face changed drastically and he said in panic: "Director, what are you talking about?"

Yagyu remained silent, slowly drawing the knife, full of killing intent.

At this moment, Ah Zhu's face changed drastically. She moved the hand that was touching her hair, took out the hairpin from her hair and threw it at Liu Sheng, but Liu Sheng easily blocked it.

Ah Zhu took advantage of the situation and quickly rolled back to escape Yagyu's attack range.

Yagyu stood up slowly, paid attention to the surrounding situation, and continued: "Actually, I am not sure yet, so I deceived you. It seems that the Choshu clan was forced by me and actually asked the ninja to perform a beauty trick."

Now he could only identify three enemies, the accounting boss behind the counter, Azhu, and the waiter who had just received them, but he felt that there were more than just these people in the house, and he had to rush out of this restaurant.

Yagyu was about to step forward when a sound of breaking through the air came from above. He immediately slashed, and after a crisp golden sound, a shuriken fell to the ground.

She looked up and saw a ninja turtle huddled in the corner of the rafter. His clothes were in perfect harmony with the surrounding environment. If he hadn't done it, Yagyu wouldn't have noticed it at all.

This ninja was short and looked like a child. Seeing that he could not hit him, the ninja immediately pulled off a piece of cloth to cover his figure.

Yagyu was a little surprised, and without hesitation, he took out his wakizashi and threw it. There was no one behind the cloth.

In just an instant, the boss behind the counter disappeared, Ah Zhu on the ground threw a smoke bomb, and the waiter not far away quickly went upstairs.

In just two seconds, three living people disappeared.

Liu Sheng felt a bit of pressure, the movement was too fast and silent, and he felt like he had no way to start.

He immediately thought that there was something strange in this house. There must be a secret passage under the floor, the partitions on the beams should be able to be opened, etc.

Although Yagyu guessed these techniques, he has no way of cracking them now.

Still have to leave the restaurant!
As long as they leave their home field, these ninjas' tricks will be greatly reduced.

Yagyu took small steps towards the door. Before he had taken a few steps, he saw the floor above opened and a pile of iron caltrops falling down, blocking Yagyu's way.

He glanced down at his feet and the straw sandals in the entrance hall. They couldn't hold up at all. Once they avoided the thorns, they would show flaws.

"Very good, this rogue trick really disgusts me." Yagyu couldn't help but admire these ninjas.
