Chapter 578: Taught

Akane Koyama only heard about the battle that took place in Gion when it was almost noon the next day, and it was the guy named Takizawa Shota who had been wandering around outside the dojo before who came to tell her. The face of the interviewer was full of excitement and admiration. In his mouth, Zhang Heng and Okita Souji two people last night with one to block a hundred, killed more than 200 people from the Banmai faction, not only did they kill Hanjiro Nakamura They can stop them, and it is rumored that some important figures were killed in that battle.

The saliva flew around when he said it, as if he was there that night.

Akane Koyama had already learned about Zhang Heng’s challenge to various dojos from Takizawa Shota’s mouth before. When the two first met, Zhang Heng mentioned that he wanted to see the major schools in Kyoto. At that time, Xiao Shanqian thought he was just talking big, but now it seems to be true.

That guy is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and he has already picked out many famous dojos without making a sound, and he still bears the name of Xiaoshan Dojo. No wonder General Takizawa is so excited to come to apprentice, In fact, not only Takizawa Shota, Xiaoshan Akane met six or seven people who came to apprentice this morning, and her plan to ask Zhang Heng to find out had to be postponed, and it is estimated that with the passage of time, last night only The matter in the garden will further ferment, and more people will come to apprentice by then.

Akane Koyama had to close the dojo temporarily, and asked everyone including Takizawa Shota to come back tomorrow.

Then she knocked on the door next door, but no one answered.

Akane Xiaoshan originally confronted Zhang Heng, asking him why he was doing things everywhere, and was involved in the battle between the Shinsengumi and the Banbai faction, but now that there was no movement in the room, she began to worry about Zhang Heng again. She doesn't believe what Shota Takizawa said about one enemy against a hundred. No matter how powerful a master is, there is a limit. Even if a hundred people stand still and let someone cut them, their hands will feel numb. But if there are dozens of people There are still quantities.

This is scary enough. There are only two people, Zhang Heng and Okita Souji. God knows how they resisted the siege of so many people, let alone won the battle in the end. Takizawa Shota just described how invincible they are , did not mention at all whether the two were injured or not.

So Xiao Shanqian hesitated for a while, and went directly over the wall from the dojo to enter Zhang Heng's yard.

Fortunately, I didn't see the terrible scene of Zhang Heng lying in the yard immediately, but Xiao Shanqian didn't care so much at this time, and pushed open the door of Zhang Heng's room, but what she saw was crying on the bed. Someone sleeping soundly.

Zhang Heng went to the doctor last night before returning to his residence. The wound has been treated and herbal medicine applied. Fortunately, it is just a skin trauma. The deepest wound was left by Nakamura Hanjiro, but it took so long to fight , the adrenaline subsided, exhaustion is certain, Zhang Heng didn't even eat breakfast, and just slept until the sun was high.

Xiao Shanqian looked very embarrassed when she saw that everything in the house was as usual. It would be impolite for her to barge in without knocking, not to mention that she might be misunderstood and have other intentions.

Fortunately, Zhang Heng is still sleeping at the moment, Xiao Shanqian wants to exit quietly.

But the next moment, the familiar voice came from her ear, "Miss Qian? Can you pour me a glass of water?"

"No, don't get me wrong... I didn't mean that." Xiao Shanqian was taken aback, and quickly explained incoherently.

"I know, you're just worried about my injury." Zhang Heng said, he opened his eyes, and gave Xiao Shanqian a helpless smile, "I'm in this state...it's not very convenient to move, so I can trouble you... "

"Oh oh oh." Xiao Shanqian picked up the copper pot and poured water for Zhang Heng in a hurry. Because she was so nervous, she even forgot the purpose of her trip, so she just stood or sat on the side and watched. Zhang Heng finished drinking the water.

"Thank you." Zhang Heng thanked him, and then said after a pause, "Sorry for causing you trouble."

"It's okay, as long as you are okay." Xiao Shanqian subconsciously said, but she realized something was wrong halfway through the speech. Originally, she came to ask Zhang Heng when he got so close to the Shinsengumi, but if you follow the Now that the topic continued, she seemed unable to ask these words.

Fortunately, Zhang Heng seemed to see what she was struggling with, and took the initiative to say, "I have nothing to do with the Shinsengumi, don't get me wrong, I just met Okita last night."

"Meet by chance? On the territory of Changzhou and Satsuma samurai?" Akane Xiaoshan blurted out.

"Well..." Zhang Heng thought for a while, but he still didn't tell Akane Xiaoshan about the conspiracy between the French businessman and Shinzu Takasugi, because even if the plan to defeat the sect failed this time, it didn't really affect the overall situation. In a few months, Tokugawa Yoshiki will still return the great power to the emperor, and there will still be the Battle of Toba Fushimi in January of the following year.

In the end, it was the complete defeat of the shogunate and the establishment of a new government. In fact, Zhang Heng didn't want to get too close to the Shinsengumi, which was doomed to end, and he didn't want to implicate Akane Koyama. So after last night's incident, Zhang Heng In fact, I'm already thinking about going to the Banbai faction when I'm free to gain some favorability.

Forget about Saigo Takamori. In the Southwest War, he stood on the side of the remaining samurai and was finally defeated by the new government. Okubo Toshimichi died too early. Maybe Ito Hirobumi would be a good choice?

Zhang Heng didn't tell Xiao Shanqian what he was thinking, but just smiled, "I'm there for some other reasons."

"Is it because of that?" Akane Koyama pointed to the Suzumaru Koji on the table.

She also heard about Zhang Heng's "borrowing knives" everywhere, and now she had the opportunity to persuade, "Although a good knife is very important to a samurai, if you are too persistent about this matter, it will affect your practice. , everything must be done in moderation.”

"Teach me, I will return the remaining knives some other day." Zhang Heng nodded.

A certain person is so easy to talk, but Xiao Shanqian is not used to it, and she doesn't know what else to say for a while.

As for Zhang Heng, anyway, he has already bought a few Zhuwanheng times, and the remaining knives will naturally not be appreciated. In the future, unless there are five knives in the world, or a higher level of knives, otherwise even if the other party gives him, he will not be able to use it. I may not be willing to accept it.

After talking about the business, the atmosphere in the room became awkward again.

Xiao Shanqian didn't know what to say next, let Zhang Heng recover from his injuries? Or let this guy make less trouble in the future?

In the end, Zhang Heng said again, "I heard that the maple leaves in Kiyomizu Temple are also beautiful, let's go together in autumn."

"Hmm... okay."
