Chapter seven hundred and eighty second: those who stay
"I know, Gao Zai, you are like me, you must have known about the teacher for a long time."
"Ah, I've known it a long time ago."
"Gao Zai, I'm the same as you, my eyes... can't see it."
Takasugi's shoulders trembled slightly, "Silly... idiot, we are the ones that cannot be seen. Why aren't we earlier? Why don't we find out what you are doing earlier? Why don't you say it earlier..."
"Gao Zai...I, in the end, there is one thing I haven't done. Can you...can you help me? My...my chest, there are...and...photos and...please post..."
Takasugi, who took out a photo from Jiang Cheng's chest and looked at the only photo he used to take, and tears once again overflowed from his eyes.
"No wonder an idiot came back in darkness the next day. It turned out to be... it turned out to be looking for this..."
"Please... post... the sister on the well... will get married next month, if you can..."
"Ah, I will go, I will definitely go."
"Then... stop fighting with Ginshi. Everyone is already an uncle. It's embarrassing to fight like a child."
Takasugi gritted his teeth tightly, his shoulders trembling: "Yeah..."
"Then... it's done..."
As he said that, Jiang Cheng finally closed his eyes that were no longer focused, and his voice became smaller and smaller: "So... so sleepy... so tired... so tiring... is it okay?"
"It's OK..."
As he said that, Takasugi suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Song Yang who had arrived incrediblely.
Song Yang shook his head slowly, then pulled Jiang Cheng over and bent down, just like when he was a child, and carried Jiang Cheng on his back.
"Gao... Gao Zai? Your back... shouldn't be that wide... Isn't it the teacher..."
"It's much heavier, Jiang Cheng." Song Yang spoke.
"Ah...yes. But in this way, I can finally sleep peacefully. Gao Zai, the person who can preach to you... has come back."
"Old...teacher." Takasugi didn't know how to describe his current mood, why did the existence he had longed for came back but didn't feel much happiness or excitement.
"The journey is really unimaginably long, Okamaki, Jinsuke, Jiang Cheng... Let's go back."
Looking at Jiang Cheng, who had completely stopped breathing, closed his eyes and relaxed his mouth, Takasugi still burst into tears after all.
"Have you been here again like a woman? Jiang Cheng..."
...
Earth, Edo.
Since the beginning of winter, the snow has been falling for several days and has not stopped at all.
The public opinion about the new government seems to be temporarily frozen due to the arrival of the cold winter. At least, people have not heard news about the new government for several days.
As usual in Kabukicho, the Mechanical Hall kept jingling and knocking sounds.
At one moment, the old man Yuanwai who was squatting on the ground and knocking with his back suddenly stopped and reached behind his back.
"Since I'm back, I'll help, No. 5 wrench."
Hearing the sound, Saburo, who had stood outside the door at some point, walked in, picked up the No. 5 wrench from the tool box beside him and handed it to his father.
"I'm back, dad. Also, do you say you have already..."
"Ah, no matter how old and confused you are, you can still recognize what your son makes at a glance." The father of Yuanwai, who tightened the last screw, spoke without looking back, and then stood up with his hands on his hips, "Where is that boy?"
Saburo clenched his fist, bit his lip, and remained silent.
"That's it..." Yuanwai's father murmured, then reached out and pulled off the huge dark side in front of him. "I remember that boy likes robots, so I tried to create such a person based on the current young people's preferences, thinking about giving him the same thing to him when I see him again..."
Looking at the shiny and handsome transformed robot in front of him, Saburo slowly exhaled: "Ah... Jiang Chengsang would definitely like it very much if he saw it. In the past, he always pestered me to make a robot for him, and he has been..."
...
Yoshihara, Kagura, who had just woken up from a coma, knelt on the floor and lowered his head and stood quietly beside Jiang Hua.
The first time he woke up, Kagura was brought back by Yue Yong and has been by Jiang Hua's side since that day.
"Mommy, please, uncle... he's just listening to you alone. Please, wake up quickly."
Kagura whispered in a low voice, and the expression on his face that he wanted to cry or not was heartbreaking. Finally, it might be because Kagura's words were heard.
On the other side, Gintoki, Kanei and Sakamoto sat down at the front desk of a tavern. Although Sakamoto tried his best to inspire the atmosphere in the past half hour, he still couldn't let the two speak.
"Hey..." Sakamoto sighed, "I really don't know where he is. If I had known, I would have set out long ago. What I can be sure of now is that he will return to Earth and Edo. Now we can't do anything except wait here..."
laugh--
"Sakamoto!"
While the lads were pulled apart, Muo's voice came in. At the same time, Elizabeth and Muo stepped into the tavern together.
[Mr. Gui! Something happened!] Elizabeth raised the board.
"What's wrong?" Sakamoto showed a little complaint, "When men are drinking to drown their sorrows, you must understand the principle that women and pets should retreat! Muro!"
"Believe it or not, I'll send you to hell now!"
Muro, who kicked Sakamoto to the ground, was still trampling on Sakamoto's thighs in anger: "Do you know what big thing happened in Edo now? Get sad? Send you to hell faster!"
"Elizabeth, what happened?" Gui asked Elizabeth.
[All the important members related to the Tokugawa Shogunate... are basically all assassinated!]
"What?!" Gui stood up in an instant.
Muro nodded and said seriously: "Ah, the police are still blocking the news. Our spies have received some news, but I believe it won't be long before the blockade. Once the people learn it, Edo... will be completely in chaos soon!"
"Is it... he did it?" Gui staggered two steps.
"No." Gintoki put down his glass, "It's definitely not him."
"It's not done by Jiang Cheng, who did it?"
"Answer..." As he said that, Gintoki glanced faintly at Nobuno Imai who had just stepped into the door, "This woman should know. Not only this answer, but also many answers we want to know."
"Sorry, I don't know the matter of that man - your partner. But if it's another man - your teacher, I know a little."
"Old...the teacher's affairs..." Gui's pupils shrank.
Gintoki's eyes were staring at the nomad: "No, that kind of thing doesn't matter. All I want to know is Jiang Cheng's affairs."
"I don't know, but what can be confirmed is only related to your teacher. So it's better for you to understand your teacher first. If you understand clearly, maybe... you can guess what your friends want to do."
...
After about ten minutes of touching, Gintoki gritted his teeth and rushed out of the tavern, pulling Sakamoto's hair!
I already understood! After knowing Xu's existence, Yin Shikki understood everything! Even what Jiang Cheng wanted to do was completely clear!
Gintoki, who was running hard with gritted teeth, just hoped that he could be faster! He just hoped that he could catch up! But... it was too late.
"Ashizaburo said...it's over. That man's side is, and so is the Tokugawa Shogunate, the country's rotten and old."
The words of the girl made Gintoki stop.
"Come here with me, Yisanro is waiting for you."
...
What is similar to what Gintoki and his men had at this time was that they were hiding in a deserted shrine that was the only one left of the Zhenxuan group.
The fourteenth and other people who had just learned from the spy that basically all the people related to the Tokugawa shogunate were assassinated had obviously not come back to their senses. After all, everyone was discussing whether they would leave Edo.
"Yamazaki, you... say it again!"
"According to my investigation, almost all of the personnel related to the Tokugawa government, including the Hiki-sect in Edo Castle, have been assassinated! The Tokugawa shogunate no longer exists! The current police are blocking the news in order not to cause panic among the people. The reason why Matsuhei is not here is also because he was asked to come up with an idea."
"Why does this happen at this critical moment..." Fourteen's expression gradually became solemn, "If it spreads out, Edo... no, the entire earth will cause chaos! In short, we need to put aside the plan to leave Edo for the time being! What about Kondo San? Find him! Now is not the time for him to be depressed! If you make a mistake now, Edo..."
Zhongguo, who always lowered his head, spoke: "Tiyasu, I think it's good to let Edo live without any silence?"
"You can fan the flames for me! What Edo needs most now is a person who is deeply trusted by the people who can stand up and preside over the overall situation! Otherwise, the problem will be really big! How can you repair it! But you just arrived at such a time!"
"Tu Fangsang, the person you mentioned... maybe there is really one."
After hearing Sasaki's voice, Shishi, Soto and all the teammates of the Shipeng group looked over, and saw Sasaki standing at the door, lowering his head and fiddling with his cell phone.
"Sasaki..." Shishi suddenly thought of something again, and his pupils suddenly shrank, "Is it... you did it?!"
"Ah, yes." Sasaki responded lightly, then turned slowly, "Then I also led the charge, but out of the insignificant compensation for my unforgivable mistakes, I will find the adult whom Tuya-san just said, who was loved by the people and could lead the overall situation and open up the future. By the way, I forgot to say that the main culprit is me, and all the accomplices have committed suicide due to crime. Remember to write this in the history books."
...
Finally, the fourteenth and others followed Sasaki to a somewhat unexpected place - Yoshihara. At the same time, Gintoki and others also came here.
As soon as both sides stepped into Yoshihara, they were stopped by Baihua, led by Yueyong. It is worth mentioning that there are Kagura and Jianghua who have just woken up.
Slap!
After clapping his hands, Sasaki shouted directly: "Okay, you can come out already, right? The previous general - Tokugawa Shimoshima..."
Hearing the sound, everyone couldn't help but widen their eyes, their pupils trembled, and they looked incredible.
A figure lurking with Baihua secretly pressed a small remote control in his hand.
Buzz —
A wall next to it slowly opened like an electric door, and the figure lying in a transparent dormant chamber inside was so familiar.
That was... the previous general who should have died - Tokugawa Shige!!
