Chapter 1015 [Chapter 6] 29
At this moment, Saburo, who usually always smiles amiably, locked his eyes on the handsome opponent in front of him without daring to leave his eyes for a moment, but the terrible tone of the roar was undoubtedly aimed at Kojiro.
"Run! Soul Dan! Don't stay here anymore, go back to your hometown!!"
Ahhh.
What did Saburo just say?
He said that he once wanted to save a friend who he regarded as his brother, but that time it was too late.
He said that the last wish of that friend who was like a younger brother before he died was to go back to the past.
He said, if you can't go back to the past... then, go back to your hometown and meet your important people.
Kojiro suddenly realized.
He suddenly jumped up from the ground, regardless of whether Saburo, who was still facing the enemy at the moment, could not see his movements, he bowed to Saburo, and shouted indiscriminately:
"I'm going home right now! I'm sure I can! To meet important people—just like you said!"
After yelling without thinking, he turned around and ran away.
Without thinking about whether to leave Saburo like this, whether it is morally deficient-because he suddenly understood that even if he just left Saburo like this, Saburo would not blame him for it.
Because Saburo wanted to save him.Saburo hoped that he could return to his hometown alive.That's what he should do most.If he really achieves this goal, it will also make up for a regret for Saburo who failed to save his friend back then——
"I can definitely go back! Don't worry!!"
Kojiro shouted that he was already in the forest far away.After crossing this mountain, there should be no enemy troops chasing him behind the mountain; the officers and soldiers will not do anything to ordinary pawns like him who no longer resist.
He knew that he couldn't help Saburo who was facing a strong enemy at the moment.I also know that Saburo doesn't need his help at all.He himself escaped safely and returned to his hometown, which is to help Saburo.
So he ran fast with his head down, his feet slipped a few times, and when he fell, he got up immediately and continued to run.Behind him came the sound of clashing metal and iron, which sounded very intense; but he didn't dare to turn his head back, and he didn't dare to delay the time.
Seeing him running so fast, the man who attacked but was blocked by Kutiao Saburo seemed a little shocked. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two blades colliding, he sneered and commented: "... What's wrong? I finally got scared ? Knowing that your prospects are dark, and following Xixiang will only lead to a dead end, are you scared away?"
Saburo didn't seem to show a shocked expression when he heard the words, but grinned.
"He just wants to go back to his hometown to meet his important person. ... What's wrong with having an important person in his heart, are you right?"
His opponent was silent for a moment.Then, he simply nodded slightly and opened his mouth.
"Perhaps what you said is right." He replied in a deep voice, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, which imbued his whole person with an inexplicable and intimidating aura.
"...However, escaping cannot solve the problem. With him gone, you will be the one who will face the battle directly." He continued to explain calmly, the knife in his hand did not relax for a moment.
Saburo stared at him a little surprised, and after a while, he suddenly grinned.
"It's okay," he replied.
"Being able to fight against a respectable opponent like you is actually much more enjoyable than letting go of a pawn who would otherwise have no impact on the battle situation."
Saburo raised his sword again.His eyes were shining brightly on his opponent.This time, he didn't pull up the scarf to cover his face because the rainstorm had destroyed the disguise on his face.
...But of course he is not completely showing his true colors now.Ever since he got the [Ultimate Disguise Trial Kit], he can easily change his face without any limits—after he dismissed Kojiro, there is no one else here, and it is just right for him to fine-tune his face without any trace , to conceal his true identity.
This skill has no other disadvantages other than burning too many points!
Saburo—that is, Liu Quan, simply didn't want to recall how many tasks he had been forced to take over this period of time in order to earn points in exchange for the short-term right to use this heaven-defying golden finger.
This world seems to be full of loopholes. From time to time, the system bacteria will issue one or two small repair tasks, such as delaying the time of the military meeting, delaying the issuance of orders to the teams, and saving the designated people. etc.
Speaking of it, it was because of the night when Liuquan hijacked Tufang and escaped from the officer's camp. Because of the heavy rain and Tufang was next to him, he had to keep using [Ultimate Disguise] to change his face, otherwise he would be ruined immediately.She owed the system bacteria a lot of debt that night——
It also led to confronting Hijikata again in order to save Kojiro.
can't win
While making moves cautiously, Liu Quan shouted in his heart.
After ten years, the deputy chief's swordsmanship has not deteriorated at all, but has become more sophisticated, calmer, and sharper.The growth of age has made his athletic ability not as fast as it used to be, but his calm anticipation ability has grown horribly-in short, he no longer needs to use such " There are auxiliary tricks such as "smearing the soil and confusing the eyes".Because he can always accurately predict where the opponent intends to attack next, he can prepare in advance.
It almost feels like you are fighting against an opponent who cheats.It's not easy to win like this.
Liu Quan didn't care to praise the feelings of "you are worthy of being the deputy chief!", and dangerously dodged to the side, avoiding the deputy chief's knife in time.
The deputy commander's blade brushed against the edge of her arm, and the wind caused even tore her sleeves.
Liu Quan:! ! !
She didn't dare to be distracted any more, instead she pulled herself together to stay focused; while staring intently at Hijikata's actions, guessing what attack move he would use next; while quickly thinking in her heart whether she had fought back What kind of method should be used to divert the earthwork's attention.
However, she and the earthworker struggled for a long time and did not come up with a good plan.
After all, the deputy chief now has the upper hand because of his outstanding strength.
As a woman, Liu Quan was born with a weakness in strength; what's more, the deputy chief's swordsmanship was honed bit by bit from the era of the trial guard hall, and her swordsmanship was instilled with systematic bacteria.Even with the accumulation of a lot of actual combat experience, this aspect is far inferior to the deputy chief.
Besides, for many years before, she mainly used magic to fight as a wizard, or as a god judge, and a group of powerful fusangshen gathered around her to fight against the enemy side by side with her; On the battlefield, in such a harsh weather and environment, I fought alone with a cold sword.
Unlike the deputy chief who miraculously escaped the pursuit of the government in the past ten years, and can now transform into a member of the "Shinsengumi" and fight hard, trying to clear the name of the Shinsengumi, Liu Quan now thinks of himself The experience of the past many years, even though they also have to face the cold human relationship and difficult environment, still can't compare with what the deputy chief has experienced.
Lost his elder brother, lost his general, lost his companions, lost his subordinates, lost his allegiance, even lost his reputation, lost the battlefield...
Also, I lost my lover, couldn't go back home, abandoned the name that I had polished so hard to shine, and survived almost humiliatingly, living alone in this world, waiting for someone who might appear. Opportunity, wanting to regain the old reputation, righteousness and glory for the Shinsengumi——
This kind of arduous and isolated existence is more cruel and painful than death.
And how can she match the swordsmanship, will and belief honed under such circumstances?
Thinking of this, she was in a daze for a second, Liu Quan's movements were a little sluggish, and she immediately felt that Tu Fang's sharp saber fell from top to bottom in the air, and it was extremely close to her head in an instant!
Liu Quan immediately took a step back, and at the same time raised the saber with both hands, turned his wrists and lifted it up, just before the blade of Tufang's blade split her Tianling cover, he blocked his saber with a snap.
Liu Quan took a deep breath.
Her arms ached from the shock.It can be seen that Tu Fang's knife was slashed with all his strength, and the purpose was to cut her down.Although she knew that with such a face on her face, it was impossible for the deputy chief to recognize her true face in a fierce battle, she still couldn't help but snorted fiercely to express her dissatisfaction.
"...It seems that you really want me to die—" With a tone of exclamation, she lowered her eyebrows and stared provocatively at the man across from the crossed blades of the two of them.
However, the man on the opposite side just twitched the corners of his lips suddenly, and was indifferent to her provocative and mocking words, and replied in a natural tone: "Isn't it natural?... This is the battlefield. Those who don’t have this level of consciousness will only be hacked and killed. No one will sympathize with you because you are young or unfamiliar with fighting. If you don’t accept it, then work hard to defeat your opponent!”
Liu Quan was stunned for a moment.
These words are very standard lines of the deputy chief. Although it sounds a bit ruthless, there is no doubt that this is the principle that the deputy chief holds on the battlefield.He himself went to the battlefield to fight with such thoughts in mind.
Many, many years ago, the young drug seller holding a wooden knife fought with the robbers in the castle town of an unfamiliar town, until he faced a large number of enemies with powerful weapons in the Battle of Hakodate. He must also fight bravely until the last army officer who is also the director of the Shinsengumi rushes out of Goryokaku to rush to Bentendaiba to meet the end with his companions from the Shinsengumi; now, with a strange new name and With a new identity, in order to avenge the Boshin War and rectify the name of the Shinsengumi, he continues to fight with the Satsuma people, who have been enemies for many years, and fight with his life...
For some reason, Liu Quan felt soreness and pain in her chest; there was also a sense of urgency, which gradually swept through her consciousness and whole body, as if awakening the long-sleeping passion in her body, just like the old woman Shinsengumi Ichibangupei, who is not afraid of death, is as ambitious and fearless as Kiyohara—
She slowly raised the corners of her lips.
"Then, let me be your opponent!" she responded loudly.
Following this soft scolding, she leaped forward, using the force of the rush to release the pressure on her blade from the earthwork, her right hand holding the knife collapsed, and the knife fell to the lower right, while her body did the opposite. To the left, she swung the knife to draw an arc, and in an instant, her blade returned to a flat position, and stabbed directly between Tukata's chest and abdomen!
