Su Yu smiled.
He took out a photograph.
Sakata Gintoki looked puzzled.
Imai Nobuyo recognized her.
"The former general, Lord Dingding?"
“He is a puppet of the Heavenly Guides. If something happens to him, the Heavenly Guides will definitely show up.”
"You mean we should attack him?"
"Yes, take him away and transform the current general from a puppet into a real general."
"Do you want to control everything through the general?"
“I won’t stay here forever. I’ve given the women of Yoshiwara freedom, and I will give the general freedom too.”
"Whatever you want to do, as long as you can make him kill those enemies with his own hands, I can become yours."
"Alright, then let Sasaki Isaburo kill his enemy with his own hands."
Su Yu did not hesitate at all.
The twelve members of the Heavenly Guide Clan appear to be above the void.
In reality, the Void can control them instantly. If it wants them to live, they will never die; if it wants them to die, they will not continue to live.
"Ding Dong"
Su Yu's cell phone rang.
He stood up.
"The general has agreed to cooperate."
……
Shogunate.
This is where the general and his subordinates discuss important matters.
At this moment, in the quiet courtyard.
The fourteenth shogun, Tokugawa Shigeshige, looked at Su Yu beside him.
"You came here alone, without alerting the ninjas of the Oniwaban or the Tendoushu. Your strength is truly terrifying."
"You know there are members of the Celestial Guides here?"
"I don't know if they are from the Heavenly Guide Clan or arranged by my uncle. As a general, I only have two people around me whom I can completely trust."
“Two will be enough. After I take Lord Sadada away, you have the Oniwaban members protect you. The Metropolitan Police Department will send the Shinsengumi, but only the Miekai Group will be sent to pursue Lord Sadada. I have already discussed this with Sasaki Isaburo.”
"Will you become the second Celestial Guide?"
"Do you want me to become a guide of the gods, or do you want to gain true freedom?"
"I hope you will become a member of the Heavenly Guides. I will give you enough benefits. With our strength, we are not enough to protect all of this."
"Once everything is over, you must send Princess Chengye to Yoshiwara. That way, Yoshiwara will become the next Tiandao Clan."
Su Yu stood up and said.
Tokugawa Shigeshige opened his mouth.
Without waiting for his answer.
Su Yu disappeared from the spot.
……
sunset.
A maid found a letter in Tokugawa Sadamitsu's room.
"If you want to reclaim the former general, come to Black Rope Island."
The letter was signed "Hand of God".
Upon receiving the letter, Tokugawa Shigeshige immediately summoned all members of the Oniwaban and then made a phone call to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Less than half an hour.
The shogunate was completely surrounded.
The head of the Metropolitan Police Department was one of the people deeply trusted by Tokugawa Shigeshige.
Matsudaira Katakuri Tiger.
He met with Tokugawa Shigeshige, along with the Shinsengumi and Mikaigumi.
Tokugawa Shigeshige looked at the group leader of the returning group.
“Sasaki Isaburo, I’ve heard that you are one of the most elite members of the Metropolitan Police Department.”
"Yes."
"So, regarding the matter of Duke Dingding, can I trust you elites?"
"Please rest assured, I will kill all those thieves and bring them back to Duke Dingding safely."
Sasaki Isaburo pushed up his glasses.
Tokugawa Shigeshige nodded.
Matsudaira Katakuri watched Sasaki Itsaburo leave.
"Shouldn't the Shinsengumi take action on this? It would be more efficient if they acted together."
"No need, trust them."
Tokugawa Shigehiro smiled.
Matsudaira Katakuri was silent for a few seconds.
"You all go back first, I'll have a cup of tea with the general."
"Yes."
The three members of the Shinsengumi said in unison.
After leaving the room.
Hijikata Toshiro turned around and glanced back.
"Why did Your Excellency choose to return to the group to carry out this mission?"
"Fourteen, don't overthink it. We just need to stay here and guard the place."
"But……"
“This is not a sign of distrust towards us. The General trusts us the most right now, which is why we are able to stay here.”
"Isao Shindo said seriously."
Okita Sougo watched Sasaki Isaburo's retreating figure.
"That elite didn't seem to be there to rescue people; he seemed to be there to kill them."
"Sōgo, don't talk nonsense."
"I've heard that the current general has never truly held power..."
"Sougo, stop talking."
Isao Shindo's expression was solemn.
……
Black Rope Island.
This place was originally a prison for serious criminals.
Now, all the serious criminals have been transferred, including the guards here.
Katsura Kotaro's fleet was the first to arrive.
He was greeted by Sakata Gintoki.
“Gintoki…”
"wig……"
"It's not a wig, it's Katsura!"
"it's the same."
"Sakata Gintoki said casually."
Katsura Kotaro looked at the buildings on the island.
"The messenger said that coming here would avenge Master Songyang. Is that true?"
“I don’t know either, but that guy’s target is the Tiandao Clan. He said that as long as he can lure those guys here, he can see Songyang again.”
"You...what did you say?"
“I learned about part of Songyang’s past from another person.”
“Gintoki…”
"Wig, it's very likely that Songyang is still alive, but once we see him, we'll know the answer."
After finishing his speech, Sakata Gintoki looked at the other spaceships in the sky.
That was the Oni Corps led by Shinsuke Takasugi.
A few minutes later.
Their spaceship landed.
Sakata Gintoki and Katsura Kotaro watched as the purple-haired man stepped out of the spaceship.
He is Shinsuke Takasugi.
Like the two others, he was a disciple of Yoshida Shōyō.
Takasugi Shinsuke approached the two of them step by step.
The three of them didn't seem like partners at all.
"If you want to fight, you can fight slowly after the real battle is over. There is no time for you to fight now."
A voice sounded.
Nobuyo Imai appeared.
Takasugi Shinsuke glanced at her.
"Where is the real mastermind behind this plan? Are they afraid to see me?"
"He's grilling fish over there."
Imai Nobuo pointed to the seaside.
Shinsuke Takasugi looked at the rocks on the beach.
A young man is eating grilled fish.
He frowned and was about to walk over.
next second.
The other person turned around and appeared in front of him.
Takasugi Shinsuke drew his sword without hesitation, but stopped in front of Su Yu.
Su Yu ate his grilled fish while looking at the sword that hadn't struck him.
He reached out and flicked it lightly.
The sword turned into iron filings.
"You're far from capable of killing me."
Su Yu patted Takasugi Shinsuke on the shoulder.
