A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 190 People, Sorry, I Can't Choose

Obviously, love is good, but if it goes too far, it can indeed affect other aspects of life.

One day, Yukishiro Tomoe asked Kenshin if he would kill anyone who tried to stop the Meiji Restoration.

Kenshin's answer was certain, but then Yukishiro Tomoe asked the next question:

"What if I were holding a knife that day? Would you have killed me, Kenshin?"

Gazing at Yukishiro Tomoe's beautiful face and those gentle eyes, Kenshin's lips moved, but in the end, he remained silent.

They thought the other person would be angry, sad, or afraid.

But Kenshin didn't see any of these negative expressions.

They arrived quietly, and they left quietly.

In his own room, Kenshin leaned against the wall, head bowed, clutching his sword to his chest. After a long while, he silently said:

"If it were you, I wouldn't do that. It's only you, I absolutely wouldn't."

From that day on, Kenshin felt as if his heart had changed.

Did they go from being crazy to being normal? Or did they go from being normal to being crazy?

Why the madness? For love?

Because of whom, is it her?

Thinking about all this, Kenshin's mind was in turmoil, and he just wanted to stay quietly.

However, his actions delayed his progress in becoming stronger and even affected the progress of the mission.

Naturally, Katsura Kogoro reported these things to Mi Niang.

"What? How could this happen!"

Mi Niang frowned, her pretty face showing a hint of coldness.

"Damn it, Doma! Didn't he say love gives people motivation?"

"Now it seems that this wasn't just pure resistance!"

Then, Mi-niang suggested that the woman named Yukishiro Tomoe disappear, which caused Katsura Kogoro's expression to change drastically, and he said anxiously:

"Lord White Serpent God, you absolutely mustn't!"

"If she dies, Kenshin will definitely be affected, even impacted!"

"The death of a loved one is sometimes more painful than failure!"

Well, nothing works, and nothing works either. In a fit of anger, Mi Niang turned around and went to the building of the Eternal Bliss Cult to have a big argument with Tong Mo.

......

In the mountains and forests on the outskirts of the city.

The stream flows slowly from the mountaintop, along the jagged rocks, until it forms a clear pool at the foot of the mountain.

Taiichi sat on the shore, listening to Doma's complaints, shook his head, and remained silent.

"Hey, this was your idea! Now that White Serpent God guy is buzzing in my ear every day, you're going to have to take responsibility!"

"Hey? You seem really agitated right now. Are you angry?"

"I've been able to understand emotions for a long time!"

Doma was taken aback for a moment, then immediately rolled his eyes.

Seeing the other person's expression, Taiyi couldn't help but smile, and then comforted them:

"Don't worry, Kenshin will make his move again, because a big event will happen soon."

If the wheels of history don't turn too far off course because of my arrival, then what follows will be the path to the formal rise of the Shinsengumi.

Doma wanted to ask what it was, but Taichi refused to tell him. Seeing Doma's exasperated expression, he even burst out laughing.

The so-called Ikedaya Incident was, in essence, a secret gathering of several rebel leaders from the Choshu Domain in an izakaya called "Ikedaya".

However, this information was betrayed to the shogunate by a mole within the Choshu faction, leading to a surprise attack by the Shinsengumi on the day of the meeting.

As a result, several of these rebels, also known as the Meiji Restorationists, were killed on the spot by the Shinsengumi, and several others were captured alive.

This incident not only greatly enhanced the reputation of the Shinsengumi, but also dealt a significant blow to the Choshu faction's Meiji Restorationists.

Many of them were leaders within their respective organizations.

But for Taiichi, the Ikedaya incident was just the beginning. What concerned him most was the Kinmon Incident that happened later.

That was an armed raid launched by the Choshu Domain with more than 3000 troops.

Fortunately, the shogunate reacted quickly and mobilized about 2 people to suppress the Choshu faction's armed uprising.

"The two sides combined number 23,000 people; that's a large-scale war..."

"There are so many people!"

"Such a chaotic battlefield must be filled with the clash of swords and the shadows of gunfire anywhere."

"No rush, no rush, they're all mine."

"Hmm, even if each one only has 3 points of soul power, what would happen if they were combined?"

"The balance point of the three attributes of essence, energy, and spirit will be reached soon..."

Doma raised an eyebrow, crossed his arms and listened with curiosity as Taichi muttered to himself.

What is this guy muttering about? What 23,000 people? Where did all those people come from?

......

A few days later, at night.

Near the Choshu faction's residence, there is a small Ogi-ya.

The samurai in charge of logistics, named Iizuka, was standing in the courtyard discussing something with the others.

Kenshin happened to be passing by, and Iizuka then spoke up:

"Today is the Gion Festival, aren't you going out for a stroll with Miss Tomoe?"

"It's so lively outside! You're so young, you shouldn't be here!"

Kenshin first nodded in greeting, then said solemnly:

"I don't like noise, I only like..."

"You only like being with Miss Ba, right?"

Iizuka cheekily leaned in and bumped Kenshin's shoulder.

The latter blushed deeply, then immediately lowered his head, gritting his teeth as if to draw his sword.

Ignoring these people, Kenshin turned and went back into his room.

Standing in the courtyard, Iizuka watched Taichi's retreating figure, then looked up at the sky and murmured to himself:

"It should be almost done in a little while."

Fireworks exploded in the night sky, and the laughter and chatter of the crowd disrupted the darkness.

Inside the room, looking at Kenshin, who was leaning against the door, fast asleep with his sword in his arms, Yukishiro Tomoe smiled gently.

Wow!

"Hey, Kenshin, I'm telling you, you should probably just go back to your own..."

Ok?

Pushing open the paper sliding door, Iizuka, all smiles, saw Kenshin fast asleep the moment he entered.

At the same moment, Katsura Kogoro's words also rang in his ears.

Kenshin can only fall asleep when he is with his closest loved ones.

After being scolded by Yukishiro Tomoe, Iizuka bowed and scraped as he left. But before he could close the door, another samurai burst in.

"Himura! Something terrible has happened!"

"The Ikedaya establishment, where a secret meeting was being held, has been attacked by Mibu wolves!!!"

"Mr. Gui was delayed by something and was not in any danger."

"But, but the other teachers, and the core members of the Changzhou faction of reformers, are either dead or arrested!"

what!

Kenshin jumped to his feet, gripping his sword, ready to charge out.

But Iizuka suddenly blocked his way, telling him seriously to calm down, and loudly advising him:

"Kenshin! Calm down. There are not only those Shinsengumi samurai known as the Mibu Wolves, but also nearly 3000 soldiers gathered near Ikedaya."

"No matter how strong you are, can you fight against 3000 people?"

creak.

His teeth were grinding together, and Kenshin wanted to take a step, but for some reason, he couldn't lift his leg at all.

3000 people. No matter how strong one person is, can they take on 3000 people single-handedly?
