As soon as they walked back to the door of the hotel, Lin and Asai saw a familiar figure standing panting in front of the hotel door.

It's Shimada.

Before Lin and Asai had time to ask Shimada what happened, Shimada noticed Lin and Asai coming back and immediately rushed towards them:

"Lord! Asai-senpai!"

"I'm sorry, Katsurokuro, for keeping you waiting for so long." Lin took the lead in apologizing to Shimada, "I kept you waiting for so long. Do you have something to talk to us two about? Where is Yapachi?"

Shimada shook his head:

"No, I just ran back."

"Lord! Come out, something big has happened!"

Noticing that Shimada was in a panic, Lin frowned slightly and said to Shimada in a calm tone: "Don't panic."

Lin took off the bamboo tube hanging from his waist and threw it towards Shimada in front of her.

"Is your throat dry after running all the way here? I heard your voice is hoarse. Drink some water to moisten your throat first."

"Yes Yes!"

Shimada unscrewed the mouth of the tube three times and poured the water in the bamboo tube into his mouth.

"Don't be anxious." Lin still said to Shimada in a calm tone, "Drink slowly."

After drinking almost all the water in the bamboo tube, Shimada put down the bamboo tube in his hand.

Listening to Lin's calm tone, Shimada couldn't help but be affected by it, and his originally panicked heart gradually calmed down.

After his panicked heart returned to calm, Shimada told Lin concisely and concisely what happened to him and Makimura just now.

…

…

"Sorry...Lord..."

After explaining to Lin and Asai what had happened, Shimada lowered his head and did not dare to look at their faces again.

His face was actually full of annoyance and regret.

"I'm really... so bad... Not only did I fail to snatch Makimura-senpai back from the hands of those gang of officials, I also failed to catch the bald head..."

After saying that, Shimada closed his eyes tightly and prepared to be scolded by Lin and Asai.

However - the imaginary rebuke did not come.

Shimada only felt a warm little hand put on his shoulder.

Shimada slowly opened his eyes and raised his head - it was Lin's hand.

"The officials from Kyoto attacked you and Makimura. Were you not injured?" Lin asked.

"No..." Shimada shook his head, "The officials' target seems to be only Makimura."

"It's good that you're not injured. Thank you for coming to report the news."

After saying that, Lin put down her hand on Shimada's shoulder, turned sideways, and glanced at Asai beside her.

"Shichiemon, Katsurokuro, let's go."

Lin lifted the Yan Mo and Zhen Guishen on her waist, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.

"Let's... go and get Mihachi back!"

…

…

Kyoto, Kamiyama and Hasegawa in the teahouse——

At this moment, besides Kamiyama and Hasegawa, there was one more person in the teahouse.

This person is the assistant of Shenshan who came here specially to report the news to Shenshan.

Kamiyama's assistant came to report the news very briefly - Makimura Yahachi was arrested by people sent by Abe Riri, and Makimura Yahachi is currently being held in prison.

"...I understand." Shenshan waved his hand and signaled his assistant to leave first.

After the assistant retreated, Hasegawa, who was sitting opposite the sacred mountain, said in a deep voice:

"...Has Riri Abe ever had any issues with you or Yahachi Makimura?"

Hasegawa did not know much about the partisan struggle in Kyoto Prefecture, but based on his many years of experience in Edo, Hasegawa could vaguely guess why Abe Riri wanted to arrest Makimura for no reason.

"That's right..." Shenshan sighed, "That bastard Abe Lili..."

At this moment, there was a loud noise outside the tea house.

Wow!

The door of the teahouse was pulled open all the way.

An extremely handsome young man led a young man with a little nobility and excellent temperament into the teahouse.

Both Kamiyama and Hasegawa were very familiar to these two young men.

Just now, Makimura led these two young men to this tea house to reach cooperation with Shenshan.

Looking at the two young men striding towards them, Shenshan did not show any panic.

Because he had already expected that when Makimura was arrested by the officers, his companions would not do anything.

After the handsome young man at the head strode up to the Holy Mountain and Hasegawa, he asked the Holy Mountain unceremoniously:
Chapter completed!
