"I think Captain Yamazaki must follow us in the attack."

After hearing this, Kondo Isamu nodded.

"Yeah, that's true."

After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Yamazaki Hao again.

"Then let's do this, Yamazaki-kun. After you identify Miyabe Daizo, you leave immediately and rush to Nawate Street to find Tachibana-kun and the others!"

Yamazaki Hao nodded vigorously:

"I see!"

After arranging Yamazaki Hao, Kondo Isamu turned to look at the others and gave precise instructions one by one.

"Sōma-kun, Yoshimura-kun, guard the front door."

Chief Souma and Kanichiro Yoshimura both nodded.

"Heisuke, Miss Nakazawa, guard the back door."

Heisuke Toudo and Kotosai Nakazawa claim "yes".

Then, Kondo Isamu turned to look at the general manager, Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo.

"Xiaoji, Shinpachi, Uncle Gen, you follow me. Yamazaki-kun, how wide are the stairs in Ikeda House?"

Yamazaki Hao immediately replied:

"About two feet wide (60cm)."

"Two feet... is very narrow..."

After thinking for a moment, Isamu Kondo turned his eyes and locked his gaze on Souji.

"Xiao Si, after we break in later, you and I will be the vanguard and rush to the second floor in one go! Attack the enemy group!"

"Shinpachi and Uncle Gen will be responsible for the second wave of offensive. They will launch the attack immediately after us and not give the enemy a chance to breathe!"

“The stairs are very narrow, so be careful where you step and avoid congestion.”

After hearing this, the general manager couldn't help but ask:

"Are you and me the only ones responsible for fighting the vanguard?"

"There are a total of 35 people on the opposite side. There must be many strong martial arts masters among them, and 'Swordsman Kogoro' is among them."

"With only two vanguards...wouldn't it be too risky?"

Isamu Kondo curled up his lips and asked half-jokingly:

"What? Xiao Si, do you not trust my strength, or do you lack confidence in your own skills?"

Souji was stunned for a moment, then smiled confidently - although she didn't respond, her expression said everything.

"The fourth generation head of the natural Rishin-ryu clan and the 'Tianjian' - this combination is enough!"

Isamu Kondo said with his mouth wide open and his spirits up.

"It's been a long time since we two brothers and sisters fought side by side."

"Let's take this opportunity tonight to regain the tacit understanding of 'brother and sister work together'."

"With the power of you and me, brother and sister, we will turn it upside down!"

There are 8 people on our side and 35 on the enemy side.

Although it was a battle with huge disparity in numbers, no one showed timidity.

I saw them spreading out and getting ready to go!

Chief Souma and Kanichiro Yoshimura team up.

Heisuke Toudo and Qin Nakazawa.

The general managers, Nagakura Shinpachi and Inoue Genzaburo, stood behind Kondo Isamu in the shape of "pin".

Isamu Kondo raised his eyes and stared at the "Ikeda House" door plaque above his head and the vast night sky.

"Tonight Hu Che is very hungry for blood!"

Before he finished speaking, he slowly pulled out the Nagasone Kotetsu from his waist.

Chonk lang lang lang lang lang lang lang...!

As the blade was pulled out inch by inch, his aura increased steadily!

The others also pulled out the blades from their waists.

Nagasone Kotetsu, Kaga Kiyomitsu, Banshu's resident Yamaji Shige, Oshu Shirakawa's resident Kanejō, Kamisosuke Kanezaki...the moment these famous swords were taken off their sheaths, they erupted with clanking sword sounds, as if they couldn't wait to join tonight's bloody battle.

!

The clanging of swords drawn one after another, and the sword energy scattered in all directions, instantly dispelled the heat wave of the summer night and dimmed the moonlight!

"Remember, shoot to death! Don't let anyone go!"

Isamu Kondo opened the door like a lion, inserted Kotetsu into the crack of the door, used the knife as a bar, pushed gently to the right, and pushed the door open silently.

After opening the door to the width of one person, Kondo Isamu took the lead, followed by the general manager, Nagakura Shinpachi, Inoue Genzaburo and Yamazaki Hao, and filed in.

Chief Souma and Kanichiro Yoshimura stood still, guarding the door.

Toudo Heisuke and Nakazawa Qin detoured to the rear and blocked the back door.

Entering the store, the dim light of candles fills the view.

Kondo Isamu and his team of five people lowered their body weight, their nerves were tense, and their whole body senses were raised to the limit. They moved silently towards the stairs with their exquisite footwork with their feet sticking to the ground.

At this time, the boss of Ikedaya appeared.

The boss walked out of the room with an abacus in his hand.

A second ago, he was beaming with joy because he made a big deal tonight, but this second he turned to stone.

He looked at this group of uninvited guests wearing light green feathers with a dull expression, like clay and wood sculptures.

The next moment, he opened his mouth wide and screamed - at this critical moment, Kondo Yuu rushed forward with quick eyes and hands, and hit the side of his neck hard with the bottom of the knife handle.

His eyes rolled and his limbs went limp - the boss didn't even have time to utter a groan before he collapsed to the ground and passed out.

At the same time that the boss fell to the ground, by coincidence, a female assistant walked down from the second floor holding a wine tray.

When she saw her boss lying on the ground, Kondo Isamu and others wearing a light green haori, her eyes suddenly widened and her expression was dominated by intense horror.

After snapping her fingers, she turned around and ran back to the second floor, shouting at the top of her voice:

"Run away! The Shinsengumi is coming!!"

…

…

Ikeda House, second floor, innermost room——

Even though a long time has passed, Katsura Kogoro, Miyabe Daizo and others are still arguing over the right and wrong of "burning Kyoto and kidnapping the emperor".

Prajna lowered his head due to boredom early on, lowered his hat, used the brim of the hat to block the light, and dozed off.

At this moment, everyone in the room, who had been quarreling with each other just now, blushed and had thick necks, all changed their expressions.

In an instant, the noisy room became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, everyone in the room vividly interpreted what "all living beings have one hundred appearances".

Gongbe Dingzang's cheeks were full of surprise and disbelief.

Katsura Kogoro's face was filled with clouds, as if he had been splashed with ink.

Most people have expressions of timidity, fear, and panic.

Prajna opened his eyes immediately, straightened the western hat on his head with one hand, and grabbed the knife in his arms with the other hand. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the light of excitement jumped out of his eyes.

Because everyone heard this cry:

"Run away! The Shinsengumi is coming!!"

…

…

Seeing that their whereabouts had been exposed, Kondo Isamu and others changed their expressions, but they did not panic.

Although there was no prior discussion, Kondo Isamu and Souji started to cooperate brilliantly.

Yutora Kondo jumped out, grabbed the female Teyo by the back collar, dragged her down the stairs, and punched her so hard that she fell asleep temporarily.

At the moment when the light was flowing, the general manager held Kaga Kiyomitsu in front of him, picked up the cloud formation, pointed the tip of the knife straight ahead, rushed to the stairs, climbed up the steps, and stepped on the steps, making a "thumping" sound, like a war drum!

Suddenly, a strong man appeared at the top of the stairs, blocking the Chief's way.

"Who?!"

He asked loudly and pressed the knife with his hand.
