Journey to Seek Past Reincarnations Chapter 4: Deputy head of the devil

The headquarters of the Shinsengumi is located in Honganji Temple in the west of Kyoto. As soon as I arrived in front of the temple, I saw a wooden sign with the name of the Shinsen group nailed in front of the temple gate, and there were two team members in light-colored feathers guarding the gate. He said: "Mr. Okita." He looked at me with a little curiosity.

The general manager smiled at them and led me into the temple. Red maples in the temple are everywhere, covering the courtyard like clouds and clouds. There are many chrysanthemums of different colors planted in front of the corridor. The white is pure, the pink is soft, and the yellow is gorgeous. The red leaves add radiance to each other, which has a special charm.

From time to time, team members in light green haori walked past us. The general manager greeted them with a smile, and they all looked at me with a hint of curiosity. Also, I seem to be a little eye-catching as a girl.

"Director, does it matter if you bring me here?" I asked with some doubts.

"It's okay, it's okay." He smiled and shook his head.

Following the general manager through the courtyard, we came to an open field where many people were standing. I looked around and suddenly saw a familiar person. "Mr. Saito!" I waved to him with a smile, although the total number of words he and I said did not exceed ten sentences, and eight of them were "clear soup ramen". But after all, it is also a familiar face, and it is a bit familiar to see it suddenly.

He glanced at me and nodded slightly as a greeting. It's really not easy, it's for my face, and I made a little reaction.

"Director, who is this woman?" A burly young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes stood in front of us and asked with a smile.

Before the director could answer, he seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "This can't be your woman, boy, I finally got the hang of it."

The director's face turned red all of a sudden, and he whispered: "Mr. Yongcang, stop talking nonsense, she is my friend."

The general manager called him Mr. Yongcang, so this man must be the captain of the second team, Shinpachi Yongcura. "My name is Xiaoyin. It's the first time we meet. Hello, everyone. I'm a friend of the general manager." I smiled at everyone.

"You call him Chief? You don't use honorifics?" Yongcang was still relentless, and even stared at me with a vicious look. However, his face does not need to be disguised, it looks quite fierce.

"Mr. Yongcang..." The chief executive was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted by another voice.

"Xinpachi, come on, stop playing, or you will scare away the woman of the chief executive." A tall, round-faced man walked over, smiled and patted Yongcang's shoulder, and Yongcang's face As soon as the muscles relaxed, he laughed haha.

I looked at the chief executive dumbfounded, what kind of chief executive's woman, the more you explain, the more confusing, but for most people in that era, there is only one relationship between a man and a woman.

Amidst everyone's laughter, the director's face became more and more red, and he said in a low voice: "Sorry, my friends are just so casual."

"It's okay, I don't care, it won't lose a piece of meat if they tease me a few words." I smiled at him.

He laughed again.

"Everyone is almost ready, put on the equipment and start the battle." A magnetic voice came to my ears, as dark as a whisper in the dusk, but clear as if lingering around me, unspeakable Nice to hear. A person with such a voice must be an outstanding character.

I followed the reputation and saw two men in black kimonos walking towards me. Both of them looked to be in their early thirties, one was of medium height, with a bun, and his face was kind and dignified. This man didn't seem to be the owner of that voice. I turned my eyes to the tall man. Like the chief executive, he didn't have a bun, but his long hair was **** casually. The black hair was flying in the wind and blowing past him. His handsome cheeks, a pair of bottomless brown eyes, with a faint amber luster, and the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, showing a bit unruly. This man is not a simple character at first glance. If I guess correctly, he should be It was the owner of that voice.

"The person who was talking just now was our deputy director of Hijikata, and beside him is Director Kondo." The chief director whispered in my ear.

It turned out that the man was Hijikata Toshizo, who was called the deputy head of the devil by cruel means. What the **** is going on here? Why are the deputy head of the devil, the son of the devil, and the men related to the word ghost so handsome? If they are ghosts, then **** should become heaven.

I have read in the book that Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata, and the general manager all met in a test room in a rural area called Tama. Kondo Shusuke's apprentice brother. Especially Kondo and Hijikata, who have known each other since they were seventeen and have a close relationship. In their eyes, the chief executive is like a younger brother.

Tufang glanced at me coldly, then looked at the chief, and said, "Is this... the friend you mentioned?"

The director nodded and smiled innocently.

Looking at the general manager's smile, Hijikata's eyes gradually softened, and he said, "Then go get ready."

"Azui, let's play a game too. We used to play this game when we were in Tama, and suddenly I miss it." Director Kondo said with a smile, his voice was low but gentle.

"Yeah." Hijikata nodded, and the moment he turned his head to look at Kondo, I clearly saw transparent tenderness flickering in his eyes. A special feeling flows slowly between them. The relationship between them seems to be very delicate.

The so-called joint battle game is divided into a white team and a red team. Each team has six people. Each team member has a porcelain plate tied to his forehead, holds a wooden knife or a bamboo sword, and looks for opportunities to break the porcelain plate on the opponent's forehead. The team member who was crushed will immediately withdraw from the battle, the team whose team members all withdraw first will lose, and the other team will be the winner.

Isamu Kondo, Souji, Shinpachi and others are in the red group, Hijikata, Saito, Saburo and others are in the white group, and their strengths are comparable. I and other team members watched the game with relish and cheered for them.

This is the first time I have seen the general director's swordsmanship. I saw his light and agile figure flickering, and only heard two crisp sounds. And Saito in the white group is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Before he could see his movements clearly, the red group heard a crisp sound.

The battle was fierce. I watched the game excitedly, but at the same time I was a little worried about the general's illness.

Papa, and a few more crackling sounds, even Kondo and Hijikata were defeated, leaving only the Shoji and Saito confronting each other.

"As expected of the two strongest members of our Shinsengumi." Kondo smiled.

"Director, come on!" I made a V to him. He froze for a moment, then immediately broke into a bright smile and nodded to me. I glanced casually to the side, just in time to see Hijikata staring at me thoughtfully, I smiled at him, and quickly looked away, probably because of the nickname of Deputy Chief Devil, being called by him Watching seems to really have a sense of oppression.

The headmaster raised his bamboo sword and used his unique stabbing technique to stab Saito. Saito raised the sword and fired the first blow, but the headmaster still had the next second and third blows, and took advantage of the situation Stab it, withdraw it in an instant, and stab it again. The series of actions seemed to be done in one go, with incomparable speed. At the third blow, there was only a bang, and the porcelain plate on Saito's forehead was smashed!

The boss has won! There was a sound of admiration around, I jumped up, rushed up and hugged him, and said repeatedly: "It's great, it's great!"

Suddenly the surroundings became quiet, I felt a chill coming up from my back, I glanced to the side, everyone looked at me in surprise, what was so surprising, strange...

"Ah!" When I realized that I hugged the chief executive tightly because of being too excited, I couldn't help but yelled and jumped away in a hurry. Damn, I forgot again, this is not the modern age, this is the ancient times 150 years ago, an ordinary hug here is a shocking move...

"I'm sorry, Chief, I didn't mean it." I quickly apologized, feeling as if I was a pervert who took advantage of him, "I'm so happy, so..."

"I know," he laughed again, "Didn't Xiao Yin also try her best to cheer for me just now."

"Yeah, hehe, just don't get me wrong." I laughed twice.

"Director, your woman really takes the initiative!" Shinpachi was there again, fearing that the world would not be chaotic. I quickly turned around and gave him a blank stare.

"Mr. Yongcang, my name is Xiaoyin. 'Chief's Woman' doesn't seem to be my name." I said with a teasing smile on my lips, "If I call Mr. Yongcang a certain A certain man, I don’t think Mr. Yongcang doesn’t like it either.” Anyway, I’m not afraid because the chief executive is by my side.

There was a burst of laughter from around, the chief seemed to hold back, embarrassed to laugh out loud, Saito's mouth also twitched slightly.

"Ah, Chief, you still don't care about the woman who disciplines you!" Shinpachi yelled loudly with his face wrinkled into a bun.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The director suppressed a smile and gave me a wink. I immediately understood and followed him to the back courtyard.

"Hahaha!" As soon as he entered the courtyard, the chief executive laughed out loud and said, "It's the first time I've seen Mr. Yongcang angry like that."

"Well, his face is angry like a steamed stuffed bun." I couldn't help but say.

"Baozi? Hahaha!" The director general laughed like a child, "If Mr. Yongcang hears about it, he will be angry again."

Gradually, he stopped laughing, with a faint smile still on the corner of his mouth, looked at me and said, "Xiaoyin, the first time I saw you, I felt that you had a very kind feeling. You Reminds me of my sister."

"Really? Do I look like your sister?" I said with a smile. My brother is so handsome, my sister must be a beauty too, I was thinking wildly.

He smiled and said: "But it's strange to say that you and my sister are not at all similar, even your personalities are completely opposite, but why do I think you have the same place."

"Of course there are similarities."

"What?"

"We are all women."

"--hahahaha!"

"Cough, cough, cough..." The director general let out that disturbing coughing sound again, before he had time to take out his handkerchief, a mouthful of dark red blood sprayed on the yellow chrysanthemum petals in front of him. A mouthful of blood, yellow petals gently falling, mixed with bright red...

My heart suddenly ached. "Boss, how are you?" I quickly supported him.

He took out his handkerchief, wiped the blood on his lips, smiled at me and said, "I'm fine."

"You are vomiting blood, and you still say it's okay, don't hold on any longer! Express your pain, it's even more uncomfortable to force a happy face like this!" I couldn't help but get excited.

"I said—I'm fine." He repeated again, with the same smile, but with a certain tone in his tone.

I looked at him and said nothing, just picked up the **** petals, put them in the handkerchief, and put them in my arms.

"Thank you." He said softly, his gaze wandering into the distance, thoughtful. Those pure eyes seemed to be shrouded in a thin mist.

Director, why do you have to work so hard? Why...

"Director, from today onwards, I will be your older sister, and I will take good care of you!" I looked into his eyes and said firmly.

"Hehe, you are younger than me, how can you be my sister?" He couldn't help laughing again, accompanied by a few coughs.

"I don't care, just leave your body to me."

"Huh?"

"I mean, leave your health to me." The sentence just now seems to be ambiguous.

The general manager smiled softly. I really want to keep watching this kind of smile.

"Director!" Saito stood beside us like a ghost at some point. He leaned over and whispered something in the chief's ear, and the chief's expression changed slightly. Blunted: "Why?"

Saito didn't answer, he looked at me and said, "The deputy chief wants to see you alone."

"Huh?" My mouth opened into an O shape again, the deputy devil wants to see me alone, Han...

"Xiaoyin, let me tell the deputy chief that you don't want to go." The director said softly.

I thought about it, then shook my head and said, "It's okay, I'll go, he won't kill me."

The boss smiled and nodded.

Deputy Chief Devil's room is empty, only a small low table, and a piece of white paper is pasted in the middle of the room. I walked closer and saw a few lines of words written on the paper:

It is strictly forbidden to violate the way of the samurai

It is strictly forbidden to leave the organization

It is strictly forbidden to change the strategy at will

Arbitrarily handling lawsuits is strictly prohibited

Private fighting is strictly prohibited

Violation of any of the above, seppuku

Oh, isn't this a military law that is known for its cruelty formulated by the deputy chief of the earth? After the establishment of the Shinsengumi, the number of members who committed seppuku for violating this law was not small. From the top to the bottom, no matter who it is, as long as someone violates the law, the deputy chief devil will not let anyone go.

After waiting for a long time, no one came. This person must be too arrogant. I felt a little bored, turned around and walked out the door, just as I stepped out of the door, I bumped into a strong chest, it hurt so much... I rubbed my poor nose and raised my head, right in front of the amber shiny pair eyes.

"Where do you want to go?" He said in a deep voice, an elusive look flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't go anywhere, I just waited too long, just walk around." I emphasized the words "waited too long", it's your fault.

He walked in by himself, turned his head and said coldly: "Not yet."

It cannot be denied that his looks are impeccable, and his voice is even more sexy, but his attitude is really very, very annoying. He sat down on the tatami without saying a word.

"What can I do for you?" I couldn't help asking.

He glanced at me coldly with a probing gaze, and said: "The director general mentioned you several times in front of me, and I was a little curious, and it seems like that now."

I glanced at him and said angrily: "Mr. Hijikata, if you let me come here just to talk to me, then I will leave first." body, I felt a murderous aura rushing toward my face, and before I could react, he pinned me to the ground with one hand.
