[Comprehensive Manga] The good year of making copies

Not in a hurry to chase people, Xia Chuan distributed the quilts used by Takasugi to the refugees, wondering why Takasugi left.

Xia Chuan couldn't think of a reason why Gao Shan would leave here.

Although Gao Shan didn't say anything these days, Xia Chuan assured that the other party accepted his care. The best proof is that the favorability is not negative.

Apart from Banyi, the only thing that can make Gaoshan act immediately is the news of Gui and the others.

Xia Chuan called someone over to ask what they said before Gao Shan left.

In addition to satisfying their basic needs, refugees are concerned about when they can settle down so that they can return to their hometowns and live a peaceful life before.

So gossip about the war spreads the fastest among the refugees.

And they are located in the mountains not far from Edo Castle, and the speed of getting news here must be much faster than other places.

The person in charge of going to the city to find out the news today brought back a very exciting news.

The envoys of the peace talks between Tianren and the shogunate arrived, and the reconstruction of Edo Castle, which was destroyed a lot by the war, began.The man danced and gestured at the new buildings in Edo Castle, with a look of ecstasy on his face.

They can go home!They survived the war and were able to return to the land they had lived on for generations to continue farming, have children, and enjoy family happiness.

Xia Chuan could almost imagine Gao Shan's feelings when he heard these things.

It turned out to be such a result after paying a painful price. Gao Shan did not explode and kill the refugees. Xia Chuan could only push it to the reason that Gui had a deep influence on Gao Shan.

Gui Renyi was not just to avenge their teacher, he accepted what was written in the green book very well, the people are the most important to Gui, and Gao Shan only saw the teacher in his eyes .

——Probably the one called Yoshida Matsuyo.Seeing that the blue dot was approaching the edge of the map, Xia Chuan paused, but still chased after it.

That direction is Edo Castle.

He can probably guess why Takasugi went to Edo Castle, either to assassinate the daimyo of the peace talks or to assassinate the gods.

The shogunate collapsed with heaven and man, and his goal was achieved.

Xia Chuan looked at the map and squinted his eyes. You said that this person is not young, why is he so stupid...

Gao Shan sat in the teahouse, pressed the bamboo hat on his head, put the knife within reach on the table, listened intently to the conversations of the people in the teahouse, and collected even a little bit of helpful information for him.

After losing the perspective of his left eye, it was somewhat inconvenient to move, but half a month was enough for him to adapt to a lot—at least he would not lose control of the distance, and he practiced swinging a knife and practicing his hearing every day.

There were not many people in the teahouse, most of them were ronin or samurai who wanted to join the shogunate, everyone wore swords and hats, Takasugi was not too conspicuous.

Takasugi, who was called "Sura" during the war against barbarians, as an extremely active member of the entire war, has already touched the anger of heaven and man. Portraits of Matsushita's four sons can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys of Edo. Together, it seems a bit ironic.

Standing outside Edo City, Xia Chuan looked at the four portraits pasted on the gate of the city, and then glanced at the guards guarding the gate who had begun to doze off, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The city has already started to be rebuilt, and many towns and districts have retained the traditional architectural style. In addition, a lot of them have been pushed to the suburbs, where steel and concrete buildings have been established.

Many shops have opened their doors and started to do business. The weird celestial beings and shy human beings walking proudly on the street, like the concrete buildings and traditional earthen houses, make people feel that the world seems to be upside down.

Xia Chuan looked at the map, and the blue dot was not far from his right. He didn't move for a long time. He looked to the right and met the dark green eyes of Takasugi in the teahouse.

The other party seemed to have looked at him for a long time.

Xia Chuan looked away, and wisely chose not to disturb Gao Shan's plan.

As long as people can't die, it's fine.

A group of samurai wearing black uniforms and knives approached. Xia Chuan followed the crowd and retreated to the side of the street, faithfully receiving information about these people with his ears.

Shinsengumi, a police-type team sent from above to maintain Edo law and order.

Xia Chuan looked at this group of people, his steps were steady, and his body smelled heavy. Most importantly, the light circles under their feet were the same as Gao Sugi's. Inside the white circle representing the NPC was a red and black circle of light.

Xia Chuan wondered from the very beginning whether NPCs also had such things as crime points.

If so, this group of people is likely to be ruthless characters who have experienced on the battlefield, just like Takasugi and the others.

It will be the enemy of those with lofty ideals, and it will be very difficult.

"Heaven's dog!"

I don't know who yelled this, and the originally bustling crowd fell silent for an instant.

...If you want to scold, you should scold the dog of the shogunate.Xia Chuan glanced in that direction, lacking interest.

Glancing at Takasugi who was watching this side in the teahouse, Xia Chuan was about to leave the other party's sight and follow where Takasugi couldn't see.

"Ah? Who said that just now?"

"..." Xia Chuan looked at the member of the Shinsengumi who instantly drew a knife and slashed at the person who yelled this sentence, blinked, retracted his stepping foot and looked with great interest.

He has a very special affection for vigilantes of the rogue type.

——The boss of their guild is a high-end talent who is full of foul words and has a bad temper, but can keep the guild in order.

What is a word called?

By the way, the contrast is cute.

Xia Chuan watched as the other members of the Shinsengumi finally came to their senses, shouted to the deputy chief, then rushed forward to hold down the runaway man, and rubbed his face.

Well...it's quite similar to how they get along with the guild.

"Mr. Hijikata." The boy with light brown short hair looked down at the man who had been eaten by the crowd, with a distorted smile on his face, and a gleam of joy in his scarlet eyes, and took out a gun from his clothes. Aim at the man's head, "Destroy the image of Shinsengumi, go to hell!"

"boom!"

the masses:"……"

Shinsengumi members: "..."

Xia Chuan: "..."

The teenager who pulled the trigger without hesitation blew on the muzzle of the gun pretentiously, put the gun back, and turned his head to show a pure smile to the onlookers: "From today on, I will be the deputy of the Shinsengumi... pain!"

"You really want to kill me, you bastard Sougo!" The man known as Hijikata poked the boy's head with a scabbard, and bright red crosses popped out constantly on his head.

"Well." The boy put down his hand covering his head, and put his face on his head that was shaken vigorously, "I'm scolding you, Mr. Hijikata who only eats dog food."

... It's different, no one dares to scold the boss like that, he will die, he will be punished... Xia Chuan tilted his head and couldn't bear to watch it any longer.

Could this group of people really be a threat to the patriots?Isn't there still strife?

The upper echelons of the shogunate let this group of people be swindlers because of their brains. Absolutely!

Feeling helpless, Xia Chuan moved to the front of an inn and booked a room after seeing the deputy head of the Zhenxuan group and the captain of the first team who were arguing in the street.

If Takasugi really wants to assassinate, hiding nearby is the best choice.

In such a short period of time, it is impossible to find out the situation in Edo. Although peace talks usually last a very long time, Xia Chuan can't grasp the time of Takasugi's actions, so he has to stay here now.

Gao Shan watched him enter this inn, so he probably knew his purpose.

After entering the room and opening the window, the noisy crowd and the teahouse where Takasugi is located are below. When the eyes met, they separated immediately, and it was enough for each other to know where they were.

……

Gao Shan retracted his gaze and wrote down the room where Xia Chuan was.

The comedy drama of the Shinsengumi outside has ended, and the topic in the teahouse has turned from miscellaneous things to the Shinsengumi.

Although he was blind in one eye, his vision was still correct.

The evil aura on those people was not much weaker than him, and it would definitely not be some kind of back door to be selected by the shogunate.Their strength is definitely worthy of the shogunate's trust.

Okita Sougo dared to shoot because he was sure that Toshiro Hijikata would be able to dodge. They seemed to be at odds with each other, but in fact they cooperated very well.

Those who kill their companions who have come all the way from the war are not as good as scum.

For a period of time after the war, the leadership will be extra wise.

But it's none of his business, all he needs to know is that these people are his enemies.

The night was dark.

Xia Chuan frowned as he watched the blue dot representing Takasugi hovering in Edo Castle.

There is a curfew in Edo Castle now, and if the inspectors find out, as Takasugi, it must be more than a simple fine and detention for three days.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Chuan still turned off the light and turned out the window.

Because of the curfew, the civilians went to bed early.

Except for the bright moonlight that can provide some light in Edo now, there are few lights that are lit.

Xia Chuan hung behind Gao Shan far away, ensuring the distance that the other party would not notice, looking at the map and paying attention to the movement around him.

Takasugi is heading towards the main city, where the general is.

Next to the main city is the temporary residence of the envoys of peace talks between heaven and man.

Maybe to familiarize yourself with the surrounding terrain.Xia Chuan thought about it, and looked at the main city with lanterns in the distance, and was shocked when he turned his gaze back to the map!

Takasugi was surrounded by a dozen red dots!

...How high is his hatred value?Xia Chuan stayed for two seconds, then quickly moved forward.

Pulling the bow and drawing the arrow, he took out a ninja who was sneaking up on Takasugi from behind. Xia Chuan stopped his steps to rush into the battle circle, and retreated into the shadows to take charge of taking cold shots and firing arrows from behind.

Takasugi's bamboo hat fell to nowhere. After Xia Chuan shot and killed a ninja who climbed onto the roof and tried to escape, he watched the bloody ground and silently did a mental construction.

The battle ended quickly.

Gao Shan solved the last person, Xia Chuan heaved a sigh of relief, and took a few steps forward to the hidden corner.

In the silent night, there was a sudden sound of "Zheng!", and Gao Shan turned his head to look at the top of the lit light.

Immediately afterwards, the crisp tone came out, wafting in the night wind of the silent Edo Castle.

"...Shamisen." Takasugi suddenly said, squinting his eyes.

Xia Chuan only thinks it sounds good, he has never had much appreciation for music and the like.

"Let's go." Gao Shan walked a few steps towards the building with the lights on, and looked back at Xia Chuan who didn't understand why, with an unidentified mocking smile in his eyes.

"The other party is inviting us in."

The author has something to say: =w= Guess, this is Ai Shan’s friend, is it a friend or is it a friend~
