Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 181

Although the second year of Qingying was not a good year for the shogunate - at the beginning of the year, Satsuma and Changzhou, who had once fought to the death in the forbidden gate change, formed an alliance; After the first battle against Changzhou broke out in June, because of the loss of Satsuma as an ally, most of the other vassals held a wait-and-see attitude and did not send troops for a long time, so it failed without much surprise—but even if the shogunate had already After repeated setbacks, not many people thought that this behemoth that had ruled the country for hundreds of years would fall down so easily.

During this year, the Shinsengumi was still active in Kyoto as a solid force in Saku.

In the first group, although the condition of the group leader Okita seems to be aggravated, in everyone's opinion, his long-standing cold seems to be turning into some kind of chronic disease, but no one has thought about the youngest member of the Shinsen group. A sharp sword could break so quickly.

At the end of last year, Liu Quan finally took advantage of the Shimabara incident, "during the fierce battle, I heard Okita-kun in the next room coughing violently, possibly coughing up blood, and then he was unable to rush to our side for reinforcements, which is obviously not a good thing It may be a symptom, maybe it’s the excuse of labor and cough, and he found an opportunity to imply that Hijikata’s illness must be taken seriously.

Hijikata and Kondo agreed deeply.So Okita was forced to see the western doctor Matsumoto-kun who Xiaoyi had mentioned—full name is Matsumoto Yoshin, it is said that he is already one of the best doctors in this era—the number of times has greatly increased. The person responsible for escorting him, Basically, Qianzuru, who is the most leisurely in the village, is in charge most of the time.

Liu Quan: This kind of daily event is the easiest to gain favorability... Okita-kun, come on!I stand for your CP! [not

However, the leader of the first team has been ill for a long time and recuperated, and the leader of the first team has no leader, so it is inevitable that there will be some confusion.Sometimes the team leader of the second division, Yongcang, and the team leader of the third division, Saito, will replace Okita to perform duties, so Liu Quan finds himself getting acquainted with Xin Baji and Xiaoyi for no reason.

There are actually two more people who got acquainted with her.

Fusangshen, Izumishou Kanesada, and Mikazuki Munekin.

...Speaking of which, the reunion between her and Sanri Yuezong was so supernatural that it didn't seem real.

Liu Quan always thought that Mikazuki Munechi's body sword was taken away by General Iemo who left Kyoto to return to Osaka Castle.And although Tokugawa Ieshige received the imperial edict of Changzhou's reconquest a few months later and returned to Kyoto to participate in the internal affairs, Fusangshen of Mikazuki Munejin did not appear.

Liu Quan was in fear (huh?!) for a few days, until the court dispute came to a conclusion, the Changzhou punishment case was accepted and approved by all parties, and Tokugawa Jiashige left Kyoto for Osaka Castle again. Take it easy.

It might be a little strange to say this—but although Liu Quan likes the character of Sanriyue objectively, she is now facing a difficult process of conquering, and at the same time, she has to deal with multiple characters and the tasks assigned by the characters in this world, and she is exhausted every day , I really don't have the energy and energy to take care of a black-bellied grandpa.

If it is in peace—or just like the original world of Dao Man, where only the liver and liver knife is needed to fight, she will be very happy to get along with San Riyue, after all, San Riyue is her favorite from appearance to voice , even if her personality is a bit dark, but she has never dealt with a black-bellied character, right?

But now, the appearance of Sanriyue is really an uncertain factor.However, this precarious and crumbling world can no longer bear more uncertain factors.

Liu Quan's stable (?) life of temporary relief only lasted for more than two months.

Until the night of the big fight in Shimabara.

Later that night, Yongcang and Harada Heisuke all rushed to Kadoya to support.It was no surprise that Liu Quan's appearance was frightened one after another (fog!).

Until now, thinking of Nagakura's jaw that was about to drop and Hesuke's eyes that were about to fall out of the window, Liu Quan still wanted to laugh for a while.

The two men blinked so hard that their eyelashes almost flew off.

Fortunately, Harada, who was in charge (?) of the [female friend and mature and popular big brother] in the original work, is still relatively calm.

"Sure enough, as I expected, Xue Ye is a great beauty." He said in a tone that didn't make people feel offensive at all, but felt that it was a sincere compliment.

Liu Quan: "...Thank you, as expected, it would be more pleasing to hear my companions say that."

Harada raised his eyebrows playfully.

"Have you heard this many times in Shimabara these days?" He laughed, and stepped into the door of the corner house as if it was familiar. "If you feel that staying here is boring, then go back to the village as soon as possible? The rest of the matter can be left to us to deal with. ... Ah, can you walk alone at night? Or find someone to go with you... ..."

At that time, Liu Quan declined Harada's kind proposal, and after changing into men's clothes, he left Shimahara alone and walked to the village.

There is nothing scary about walking at night, especially now that she has exchanged a lot of various skills.What's more, I often follow a group of patrols at night, and I have long been used to this road.

But tonight things were a little different.

In fact, nothing happened along the way until Liu Quan turned a corner and stepped on a path that can go straight to the vicinity of Nishi Honganji Temple.

The wind in the middle of the night is a bit cold, and the branches of the street trees that have almost lost their leaves in winter sway with the wind, casting strange shadows and making rustling noises.

When passing a big tree, Liu Quan stopped suddenly!

The long street ahead was empty.Under the bright moonlight, the night wind rolled up the dust and paper scraps on the street, and circled around her feet.

She paused for a moment, her breathing seemed to become very light; suddenly she turned around suddenly.

As she turned around, the sword she held in her hand pointed behind her with a loud sound.

...The tip of the sword suddenly stopped a few inches in front of a person's throat!

The night wind suddenly became stronger, and the branches were blown loudly.

"It's really beautiful swordsmanship, the main hall." The man was silent for a moment, then said softly with a smile.

Under the moonlight, a handsome young man in a gorgeous blue safari appeared out of nowhere from the shadow of the roadside trees, and looked back at the girl in men's clothing in front of him calmly, completely ignoring the girl who was already close to his throat. The sword edge.

A look of surprise appeared on Liu Quan's face, he was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "...It's you."

Mikazuki Zongjin smiled slightly.

"Yes....Although we haven't seen each other for a long time, I have been silently watching the main hall?" He said in a gentle voice.

Liu Quan was silent for a moment.

"Three Riyue Lord misses me so much, I really have mixed feelings." She replied nonchalantly, slightly frowned, and neatly withdrew her sword back into its sheath.

"Well, since you have been watching me silently for a long time, why did you choose to show up at this time tonight, Your Excellency Sanriyue?"

The handsome Fu Sangshen smiled when he heard this.

"The words of the main hall are as straightforward and sharp as ever." He said with a sigh, and even walked up to her and stood still, with an attitude of "I will be your loyal follower from now on", as if planning to follow her. It's the same as going back to the Shinsengumi's settlement with her.

"My original sword, in fact, has been brought to Ertiao City since the time Jia Maogong went to Luo again in September. Afterwards, there were turmoil in the court, and Jia Maogong was actually very troubled about whether to march again."

Unexpectedly, Mikazuki Zongjin actually began to narrate the secrets of the shogunate that happened in Nijo Castle in the past few months.

"Recalling back then, it was because I wanted to imitate Ieyasu's Sekigahara in the battle that I was able to bring my body sword to Kyoto for the first time, and thus got the opportunity to answer your call, main hall."

The handsome young man followed her, raised his head slightly to look at the slightly bleak white moonlight in the sky, and spoke calmly.

"But this time, things didn't go so smoothly. The reasons for the re-examination were very weak, and they didn't get much support in the court council; in addition, those envoys from foreign countries also put forward harsh conditions one after another. Jia Maogong is a gentle man. A gentle, good man who has endured too much pressure..."

Although Liu Quan doesn't quite remember the secrets behind these histories, but now that the shogunate is setting in the sun, after thinking about it for a while, he knows that the young general is facing internal and external troubles, so he can't help but sigh with compassion. In one breath, as a [qualified team member of the newly selected group], I expressed my attitude.

"My lord general is also very hard... Sometimes, there are some things that others can't do for me. No matter how difficult or painful, I can only rely on myself to grit my teeth and work hard..."

Sanri Yuezong raised his eyebrows slightly, and turned his face to look at her profile with a sudden interest.

"The idea of ​​the main hall is always so special. Maybe this is what attracts people's attention?"

Liu Quan: "...Sure enough, I shouldn't have put away the sword, should I?"

Sanri Yuezong was slightly taken aback, then raised his head and laughed.

"Hahaha... Please let me go, the old man? The main hall." He smiled gently and tolerantly, and naturally walked in the footsteps of Liu Quan, who had grown a little bigger because of his anger.

"...Originally, it was just out of curiosity that I wanted to watch the main hall from a distance for a while. I always feel that it is not appropriate to disturb you too much... because the main hall is already troublesome enough, right?"

Liu Quan's footsteps stopped suddenly.After a while, she walked again without saying a word.

Mikazuki Zongjin didn't seem to expect any reply from her.He put his hands in his sleeves calmly, and continued to follow her side at a leisurely pace.

"However, now is no longer the time for people to wait slowly... With all due respect, the main hall. Mr. Iemo is in trouble at home and abroad, and I find that the Tokugawa family can no longer be an existence that binds me..."

Liu Quan let out a long sigh.

"……is that so."

Since there have been characters who have come here from other broken worlds, it is not surprising that such characters can now get rid of the shackles of their own swords and freely expand the scope of activities.

"So, Sanriyue-kun doesn't need to stay near your body knife?" She asked lightly.

Sanri Yuezong laughed out loud.

"Ah, I've been kept by the Tokugawa family for so long, I, an old man, occasionally want to take a walk outside to see if I can see more special scenery if I follow other people."

Liu Quan was taken aback, then laughed softly.

"Mr. Sanriyue, it seems that you have said something that people cannot refuse?"

In fact, both of them knew that Sanri Yuezong had already made a decision.

Fu Sangshen wants to follow the god judge who summoned him to this world from now on.And this is something that the judge cannot refuse.Frankly speaking, Liu Quan didn't think this was a bad situation.

Although he had to pay more attention to one person from now on, it was better than leaving Mikazuki Zongjin, a character from another world, in a place beyond his control for a long time.

What's more, he will be on her side, won't he.

"In the future, please give me more advice. Sanriyue-kun." She finally said.

So, the handsome Fu Sangshen followed her all the way back to the village.

Fortunately, the Nishi Honganji Temple is big enough, and others will not notice the existence of Fusangshen, and although Kanesan and Mikazuki's personalities are not compatible, at least they can be each other's companions at ordinary times, chatting or thinking about other pastimes It's also good to pass the time when there is no need to go out or go on an expedition in this world, so it seems extraordinarily leisurely and boring.

In the blink of an eye, the summer of the second year of Keio arrived.

A low air pressure hangs over Kyoto.

The second campaign against Changzhou really ended in the defeat of the shogunate.

However, ordinary people still have to live their lives.The usual summer festivals in Kyoto are just around the corner.

Although the patrols in the main areas of the city are still conducted by the Mihuigumi, whose members are all well-born, there are also many streets, shops, and shrines that hold festivals in the areas that the Shinsengumi is responsible for patrolling.So these days, not only has the patrol task increased a lot, the time has also been extended a lot, and the worried deputy chief, Hijikata, seems to have never relaxed his stern face.

Liu Quan, who was so busy that he didn't have time to think about the important goal of "how to find time to attack the deputy chief in the busy schedule of milk teeth", couldn't help being a little thankful that he frankly warned the girl who had already lived in Nishi Honganji with peace of mind in advance. Fu Sangshen, one of the "Five Swords of the World" who has been working for several months, when she was busy recently, "please let me do what I want to accomplish by myself".

Mikazuki Zongjin smiled and said that he understood.

But now, taking advantage of the fact that no one else can notice his existence (?), he stays majestically in the hall of the garrison, with a strange smile on his face, watching Liu Quan, who lacks sewing skills, It was very difficult——under Qianzuru's sincere request, we had to come together to help mend everyone's tattered clothes.
