Zhang Heng had already thought about it. While dealing with a Satsuma Domain samurai who charged at him, he said to Okita Soki, "Hey, let's discuss something."
"What's the matter?" Mr. Okita was busy coughing and beheading his enemies, but he could still make time to reply to Zhang Heng. Even in this bloody and messy battle, he still maintained his elegant posture. His Tachi was like the moon in the starry sky, exuding a faint cold light. Swiftly and sprightly, he beheaded every single enemy that stood in his path.
"It's such a pity your Shinsengumi failed to kill Kido Takayoshi at Ikedaya," said Zhang Heng. "This is your rare opportunity to make up for it. Want to watch it slip away from your hands?"
"What do you mean?" Okita Soki raised his eyebrows.
"Shinsaku Takasugi. He is among them," replied Zhang Heng.
"What?!" Okita Soki was stunned. "That man... didn't he just die not long ago?"
