…

Seito called Isamu Kondo, who was also one of the Shinsengumi's senior military officers, over.

Aoto, Hijikata Toshizo, Kondo Isamu and Shannan Keisuke came to a tea room where no unrelated people would disturb them.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Qingdeng went straight to the point:

"Sui San, tell me, what do you want to report?"

Hijikata Toizan's face was livid:

"Tachibana, the situation is serious."

He poured out all the secrets stated by Shuntaro Kotaka without reservation.

After he finished speaking, not only Kondo Isamu and Shannan Keisuke, but even Ayoto couldn't help but be surprised.

Because everyone was too shocked to speak, there was silence inside and outside the tea room.

About 5 seconds later, Shannan Keisuke murmured:

"Mr. Tojo is really right...those lunatics really plan to burn down Kyoto...!"

As far as the final result is concerned, Shintaro Tojo's previous conjecture was both right and wrong.

He correctly guessed the intention of the patriots to burn down Kyoto.

But he did not guess that while the patriots were burning Kyoto, they also planned to take advantage of the chaos to eliminate Matsudaira Yongho and Saigo Yoshinosuke, and take the emperor to Choshu!

Fortunately, Aomori doesn't live in Kyoto now.

Otherwise, this group of lunatics would definitely have to add "Kill Ju Qingden" to their plan.

No matter which way you look at it, this plan drawn up by these people with lofty ideals is really crazy!

Even at this time, they were still thinking about the emperor, and did not forget to kidnap him to Changzhou in order to realize their ambition of "taking the emperor hostage to order the princes".

Today is the day of the "Yamaboko Parade".

Yes, tens of thousands of people will flock to the streets to watch the annual "Shanboko Parade".

If the city was set on fire at this critical moment when the streets were deserted... the number of casualties would probably not be even a thousand!

In order to realize his ambition, he did not hesitate to put the lives and property of the people in Kyoto at risk. This, this...!

It is no longer enough to describe it with words such as "crazy", "cruel", and "crazy"!

"...Tachibana-kun, what should we do now?"

Kondo Isamu asked, casting a questioning look at Aoto.

Shannan Keisuke interjected:

"Mr. Tachibana, for the sake of safety, I think we should order a halt to tonight's Yamaboko Patrol to prevent the damage from expanding, and then send the largest combat force to blockade Kyoto, launch a manhunt throughout the town, and arrest Miyabe Daizo.

Katsura Kogoro and others."

Aoto, who had been silent since just now, raised his eyes and looked at Kondo Isamu who was asking him for advice, and then looked at Shannan Keisuke who expressed his thoughts.

"...Kingsuke, there is no need to panic."

He spoke quickly and his tone was very calm.

"This is not only the crisis of 'destruction of Kyoto', but also a good opportunity to 'severely inflict heavy damage on the Zunhuang Sect'!"

Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his voice:

"There is no need to mobilize large forces."

"Keisuke, please go and call all the captains and vice-captains who are currently staying in Otsu here!"

"Gather our most elite combat forces to put down this turmoil!"
