"You bastard, is this how you lead the Shinsengumi to grow and prosper?"

"If I let you do what you want, will I be worthy of the word [誠] on my haori?!"

The handsome old man came up with a stern voice, confronted Miyakawa Isamu and scolded him harshly.

Uesugi Kiyoshi probably knew who he was.

Goryo, Counselor, Ito.

Ito Koshitaro, the chief of staff of the Shinsengumi during the late Edo period.

The person in front of him is at least his heroic soul linker, there is no doubt about that.

After knowing this relationship, Uesugi Kiyoshi could probably understand why Mr. Ito did not speak for Miyagawa Isami - this chief of staff was, in history, a political enemy of Kondo Isami.

There are rumors that the Shinsengumi was responsible for the assassination of Ito Koshitaro.

The situation in the late shogunate was actually quite complicated. It would be difficult to explain it clearly here. Although Ito Koshitaro and Kondo Isami belonged to the same Shinsengumi, they had different political views and were considered mortal enemies.

Kondo Isami was a thoroughgoing "pro-shogunate" and he was loyal to the shogunate.

Ito Koshitaro was a "pro-imperial" person. He was loyal to the emperor. Later, he set up his own faction and founded the "Gōngmō Guards". He was not of the same kind as the Shinsengumi.

However, at least it is true that he was once the chief of staff of the Shinsengumi.

"If you want to die, go by yourself. Don't drag along the heroes that the Shinsengumi has gathered with great difficulty. The meaning of their existence is not to be consumed by you."

"You've done all that shit, and now that someone's found you, you have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Don't let Mibushishi pay for your mistakes!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi vaguely realized that the conflict between Staff Officer Ito and Chief Miyagawa did not seem to be false and was somewhat difficult to reconcile.

That vague murderous intent could not be faked.

If it weren't for the superficial relationship of comrades, Uesugi Kiyoshi would not be surprised if these two men drew their swords and fought each other.

This person seemed to be protecting himself, and Uesugi Kiyoshi was a little confused.

However, it wasn't long before his doubts vanished.

After speaking rudely to Miyagawa Isamu, Staff Officer Ito turned around and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi. His face became smiling and he looked very kind.

"Uesugi-kun, right? I am Ito Daizo, the then-chief of staff of the Shinsengumi. Please allow me to apologize to you. Miyakawa Isamu's actions do not represent the entire Shinsengumi. Please understand this."

Uesugi Kiyoshi blinked and suddenly realized.

Ito Daizo.

He is familiar with this name!

When Hidekawa Kamiizumi went out to attend a meeting of the Kirishōkai, he gave Uesugi Kiyoshi a note.

There were two phone numbers on the note.

It is said that they are well connected with both the black and white worlds. If there is any problem, just contact them directly and these two people will definitely stand up for him.

Among the gangsters was the leader of the Tokyo Kowloon Society, the Ninth Generation Dragon Heart.

The one in the white road is the chief of the Kyoto Police Headquarters, holding the rank of Superintendent of Police, and is one of only twenty Superintendents of Police in Japan - Ito Daizo!

Uesugi Kiyoshi had never made the call, but he remembered the name clearly.

The person that the master trusts so much should not be an outsider.

As expected, Ito Daizo patted Uesugi Kiyoshi on the shoulder with a bright smile.

"I've been here for a long time. I've been watching from outside for a while. Uesugi-kun is indeed very capable. Although Miyakawa is a stubborn bastard with a slow mind, he is very capable. There are not many people in Kyoto who can suppress him."

"As expected of you, you are the last disciple of Master Kamiizumi. You are indeed very talented. He once sent me a message saying that he had to go out for something important and asked me to help look after you. Unfortunately, I am very busy and Kyoto is far away from Tokyo. I have not seen you for such a long time. I am really ashamed."

"Fortunately, we finally meet now."

"Uesugi-kun, please call me sooner if you have any such questions in the future. You are the disciple of Sensei Uesugi, so I am arrogant enough to call you my junior brother. As long as I am alive, no one in Kyoto will be able to bully my junior brother."

"Even the Shinsengumi's chief can't do that!"

When Ito Daizo looked at Miyagawa Isamu again, his eyes were full of coldness, as if he was facing a mortal enemy.

It doesn't look like it's entirely because of Uesugi Kiyoshi.

"Uesugi, Miyakawa Isamu has a police rank and is the chief of the Shinsengumi. He is a close friend of the cabinet ministers. You must not be impulsive."

"You can kill him if you want, but not here, at this time."

"Give me some face and stop for now."

Uesugi Kiyoshi was a typical person who was soft-hearted and did not respond to hardship. Because of Kamiizumi Hidekawa, he had some feelings towards Ito Daizo. When he heard this, he did not refute it immediately.

Instead, Ito Daizo was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he immediately said, "It's okay. If you want to kill him, I want to kill him too."

"Because of him, the entire Shinsengumi is in disarray. His tolerance has caused too many mistakes. These lunatics who support the shogunate are essentially cold-blooded and heartless wolves!"

"If you trust me, I will arrange for his killing."

In public, the two men were discussing how to kill the chief of the Shinsengumi without lowering their voices, without any hesitation.

Uesugi Kiyoshi raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"Ito, Senior."

"Appreciate further details."

Ito Daizo smiled sinisterly, looked at Miyagawa Isamu, and shook his head slightly.

"He's a swordsman, just duel with him."

"A swordsman died in a duel. Even a big shot in the cabinet can't find fault with him, right?"

"He has reasons to refuse a normal duel."

"But there is one duel he cannot refuse."

"."

"Try it together before the emperor."

"Master Kamiizumi asked you to come to Kyoto, probably to take part in the Imperial Examination."

"Once you pass the imperial trial, you will be qualified to challenge a swordsman."

"The person you challenged has no excuse for being cowardly. That fight was called a competition, but in fact, it was a fight to the death."

"I am the commander of the Imperial Mausoleum Guards. I was the one who organized the test before the Emperor, and I also prepared for the final duel."

"As for me, I can quickly spread this news throughout Kyoto, and even throughout the Japanese kendo world."

"The disciple of Kamiizumi Hidekawa wants to challenge the Shinsengumi's Miyakawa Isami."

"The feud between him and Mr. Kamiizumi is well known to everyone. Even if you kill him in a duel, no one will interfere."

"do you understand?"

Before Uesugi Kiyoshi could reply, Ito Daizo continued speaking.

"Why, if he really refuses to fight, then the bravery that he has always been famous for will be shattered."

"Now that our reputation has been ruined, the burden of the Shinsengumi will not be so easy to carry."

"By then, it wouldn't matter even if he died in a dark corner of some street, right?"

"Uesugi, I won't beat around the bush with you. I think I'm much more suitable for the position of Shinsengumi's chief than he is."

"At the very least, I will not go against the original intention of the Mibushi to gather together - we are working for the country and the people!"

Uesugi Kiyoshi looked at Ito Daizo's eyes and understood.

This doesn't seem like a lie.

"If this incident today is exposed, it will be Miyagawa Isami's fault anyway. I will initiate the Mibu Council to suspend him from his position as the head of the Shinsengumi. This kind of thing will never happen again. If the Shinsengumi members protect the Yakuza, turn a deaf ear to the supernatural beings and demons who harm mortals, or even collude with them, I am willing to pay with my own head. Uesugi, what do you think?"

Since Senior Brother Ito has already said this, Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't know what to say.

To be honest, he was also thinking about himself. If he killed Miyagawa Isamu, given the status of Staff Officer Ito in the Shinsengumi, he would probably naturally succeed the position of team leader.

He did not allow himself to do so, but instead tried to seek benefits and avoid harm by explaining the pros and cons of the matter in detail, fearing that he would anger certain beings and get into trouble. Although Uesugi Kiyoshi might not be afraid of such an outcome, he appreciated it.

He is a man who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment. If others give him an inch, he will take ten steps forward.

He gave this face.

After letting Miyakawa Isamu go, what he was most worried about was that this man would not change his ways and would once again insist on his philosophy of "death is a worthy death", continuing to force innocent people to sacrifice for strangers.

If such a thing really happened, Uesugi Kiyoshi would not be able to get over it and he felt that he should take responsibility.

If you watch someone in danger and do nothing to help, you are an accomplice. He had just scolded Miyakawa Isamu with similar words.

But since Ito Daizo was able to ensure that his power was limited and made such a vow, he could not find any fault with it.

Shrugging his shoulders and taking a step back, Uesugi Qing nodded.

He met Miyakawa Isamu's angry eyes and smiled meaningfully.

"As a junior, of course I have to give you face, Ito-senpai."

"Director Miyakawa, thank you for hosting me tonight. I will always remember it."

"See you next time."

"."

"roll!"

Chapter 345 Senior Brother

Miyagawa Isamu was supported by his disciples and walked unsteadily. When he walked past Uesugi Kiyoshi, he looked at him with a dejected look and actually smiled.

The figure of Uesugi Kiyoshi reflected in his pupils was full of the vigor and vitality of himself when he was twenty years old.

"."

He left without saying a word, leaving behind only a desolate back.

A Chang Zeng Mi Ko Tetsu and a California Qing Guang were both lying alone on the ground not far away, but their owners turned a deaf ear to them.

If you lose, you can leave, but you can't take the sword.
