Your type of online game is too fake, right?

As for the reason for the acquaintance... this is rather embarrassing.

The cause of the incident began a long time ago. At that time, the No. 14 general Tokugawa Iemo had just succeeded to the throne, and the shogunate had already seen that it was not reliable to force the emperor to command the princes. The emperor may compete for the right to speak at any time—so After thinking about it for a while, a group of courtiers came up with the idea of ​​"combining public and military forces", that is, integrating the shogunate and the royal family into one. Isn't this no problem?

In order to achieve this idea, the royal family needs to marry an imperial daughter to marry the general. In this way, the two parties have an in-law relationship and are both their own family members, and there will be no barrier between the royal family and the shogunate.

It's just unfortunate that the royal family didn't have a suitable unmarried princess at that time, but political marriage was imminent.

So after thinking about it, Prince Chiren's original fiancée was annulled and married to the fourteenth general Tokugawa Iemo.

A prince was divorced because of this kind of problem. How could Prince Chiren bear this? At that time, he vowed to let the shogunate know what it means to not bully the young and poor for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. Became a staunch supporter of the crusade against the shogunate—although the imperial family did benefit from it, it is hard to say whether there was a lot of personal grievances involved in it.

It was even rumored that this prince had deep personal relationships with many fallen rebels...

But now, as the shogunate officials, they fell into the hands of Prince Chi Ren.

It was the first time Okita Souji saw that Brother Kondo, who was always calm, had already started to sweat.

"Isamu Kondo! You are guilty!"

Sure enough, just when Kondo was frightened, Prince Chiren opened fire directly.

"It's amazing, it's amazing...you have done a great thing!"

"This... I don't know what crime I have committed."

Isamu Kondo quickly lowered his body, but he was puzzled.

He has been very cautious recently, and he has not made any mistakes. Even if he made a mistake, it should be dealt with by the shogunate, and this Prince Chiren can't control him... Then what happened to today's meeting? What's going on?Are you talking about finding a reason to kill him?

"You don't know what crime you have committed? The French consulate has already found me!"

Prince Chi Ren's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"The general invited a French instructor to help you train, right? Where is he now?"

"...Young people don't know."

Isamu Kondo was taken aback by the question.

Immediately afterwards, my heart trembled for a while.

He was also dizzy when he drove the foreigner away, but for a while he couldn't think of any better way to deal with it—if he continued to keep the foreigner, the shogunate would definitely feel that he was against him. That meant a devastating blow to the entire Shinsengumi.

But if you let that stranger go...

"You don't know where the others are? Haha, one of them doesn't know."

Prince Chiren sneered.

"Then do you know that the French envoy has come to look for me, saying that the important person they sent is missing... If we can't find the instructor they sent, they will send their own troops to find it!"

"This!"

Souji Okita and Isamu Kondo buzzed in their heads.

Let the French send their own troops into Kyoto... What is the difference between this and an armed invasion!

"No! Don't let them do that!"

Isamu Kondo called out almost instinctively.

"It's an excuse! They want to..."

"Nonsense, I also know this is an excuse!"

Prince Chiren snorted coldly.

"Then you handed over the man! Where is the man! Where is he?"

"I……"

Isamu Kondo's eyes turned black when asked.

How could he know this.

At that time, he was roasted on the fire, and it was too late to get rid of the relationship, so how could he have thought about where that foreigner would go?

And Director Okita... she was still recuperating at the time, and she didn't even know about the deportation of the foreigner, let alone know about it.

"Trash! Useless things!"

The angry Prince Chiren simply rushed out of the bamboo curtain, punching and kicking Isamu Kondo.

Lying on the ground with his head in his hands, Isamu Kondo didn't even dare to lift his head at this moment—even though he has a powerful martial arts, he couldn't even fight back at this moment.

The eldest brother was beaten, which made Okita Souji, who was lying on the ground, clenched his fists.

But it was just clenched fists, she couldn't do anything.

It wasn't because she was ill and her combat effectiveness was weakened, nor was it because their swords had been taken away the moment they entered the door.

Just because the person who was beating Isamu Kondo was a prince!

Noble blood flowed from that man's body!

"But as far as the fists and feet are concerned... they are soft, and there seems to be nothing..."

As soon as this idea came up, Director Okita quickly suppressed it from the bottom of his heart. In any case, this kind of idea is too outrageous, not to mention that the power of the royal family is not reflected in the battle - the real power of the royal family is Power and fame are the most terrifying things.Just like now, if Kondo fought back bravely, even if it was just a parry, and a charge of assassinating the royal family was charged, the two of them would be dragged to the door and beheaded on the spot.

"But... even the royal family, can they bully us wantonly?"

Seeing that Prince Chiren even wanted to spit on Isamu Kondo's head, Souji Okita couldn't help being filled with resentment.

These warriors, at any rate, are still working on the front line in person, even if their status is as high as a general, they still have the responsibility to maintain the peace of this land... But what about these ministers?What about the royals?They do nothing!And punch and kick those who work on them!

Some kind of disturbing thoughts surged in Mr. Okita's heart, like weeds, which could not be pinched no matter what.

"Three days, I'll give you three days, if your people can't find that French instructor, you can bring your own head!"

The tired Prince Chiren made another kick, but he didn't let Isamu Kondo and Souji Okita get out of the imperial palace just like that.

It's just because, on the way back to the mansion, he has to let these two people continue to be responsible for his security work.

As a prince, of course, Prince Chiren does not need additional security. He has his own guards, and no one is willing to attack him—to put it bluntly, he just wants to continue humiliating these two people, which is somewhat personal Enmity.

Yes, now he has not achieved great things, and he has no way to capture the general of the Tokugawa clan alive, but he has held back for so many years, and he vented his anger on a few small shogunate officials, can this not be said that he is too much?

What's more, the matter this time is really not small. Those French people seem to be ready to come for real. In terms of reason, he has to find a suitable scapegoat-Isamu Kondo is obviously very suitable.Since this samurai is going to be a loyal minister to the Tokugawa shogunate, he can directly say that it was Isamu Kondo who killed the foreign instructor.This will not only keep Kyoto away from military disasters, but also make the Tokugawa shogunate lose an arm, which is a win-win situation.

So no matter what, he will not let Isamu Kondo run away, whether it is because of personal grievances or to throw the other party out to take the blame, he must hold Isamu Kondo in his hands.

As for Souji Okita...

It would be a waste to let such a woman become a swordsman.Since the Tokugawa shogunate took away his fiancée, he didn't mind charging a little interest in other ways.

"In the next few days, the two of you will be responsible for protecting me. You must stay by my side and never leave."

Prince Chiren, who had returned to his mansion, sat high on the main seat, looking coldly at Isamu Kondo and Souji Okita who were kneeling in front of him.

"So in the past few days, you all have to listen to my orders, do you understand... wait, what kind of eyes are you looking at?"

Seeing that Yu Kondo, who was kneeling on the ground, dared to look directly at him, Prince Chi Ren immediately became angry again.

"Come here! Give me..."

"Stop shouting."

A voice sounded from behind Prince Chiren.

"Your little brothers have already been taken care of by me..."

"Who!"

Prince Chi Ren turned his head quickly, but what came to his face was a strong smell of alcohol.

It stinks!How much did you drink!

"...Wait? Are you?"

Looking at the drunk man in front of him who smelled of alcohol, Prince Chi Ren was suddenly a little confused.

Where did this strange drunk come from?What is going on now?

"It doesn't matter who I am."

The drunk man waved his hands casually, shaking his body.

"The important thing is, I saw it just now, you bullied the samurai, right?"

"……Any questions?"

Prince Chi Ren frowned, and subconsciously replied.

"I'm the prince, he's a courtier, he messed things up, I reprimanded him, is there something wrong?"

"Prince?"

The drunk's eyes lit up.

"For the prince, the official must be very big! Are you a high-ranking official?"

"I'm."

Although he didn't know why the drunk asked such a question, Prince Chi Ren nodded instinctively.

There is nothing to deny, he is indeed a high-ranking official, but not from the shogunate, but from the capital—even speaking, his status as a prince is far more noble than those of the ministers, and there is nothing wrong with saying that he is a high-ranking official.

"So you should think about it, breaking into a prince's mansion in the middle of the night, do you know what kind of crime it is..."

"It's you I'm looking for!"

The drunk laughed.

"Senior officials who bully warriors, it seems that you are that bad breed! Get ready to accept justice!"

"...?"

Seeing that the drunk man raised his fist and was about to hit him, Prince Chi Ren quickly dodged to dodge.

Although he still didn't know what was happening right now, he at least knew that if he was hit by the sand bowl-sized fist, he would definitely die—so almost immediately, he hid behind Isamu Kondo and Mr. Okita He wanted to throw the country warrior out to prevent disaster.

But who would have thought that Isamu Kondo, who was unarmed, was hit in the head with a punch before he even survived two moves, and passed out on the spot.

"Everyone is a warrior! How can your own people beat your own people!"

Gently put Isamu Kondo on the ground, the drunk man reeking of alcohol forced him over again.

This made Prince Chiren quickly hide behind Okita Souji in fright.
