Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 226

Later, Yamazaki failed to make it to Edo.On the way to Edo, he died on Mount Fuji Maru due to serious injuries, and had to be buried in water under the mournful gaze and condolences of everyone.

After Edo ascended the city, the situation of the shogunate did not improve by half.

The general seemed to have completely lost his will to fight, and the views of the peace faction in Edo Castle gradually gained the upper hand.In order to show his obedience to a certain extent and to facilitate secret communication with the imperial court, the general ordered the Aizu feudal lord Yokoho Matsudaira, who had served as the guardian of Kyoto and was loyal to the shogunate, and his younger brother, Kuwana feudal lord Sadaka Matsudaira, not to visit the castle.The two brothers were forced to leave Edo and return to their respective territories.

This is definitely a heavy blow for the Shinsengumi.The appreciation of Aizu Gong Matsudaira was the key to Shinsengumi gaining a firm foothold in Kyoto and becoming famous.But now Duke Aizu and his younger brother, who have always been loyal to the shogunate, have been abandoned and expelled by the general, and the level of confusion and anger in everyone's hearts has reached a new high.

One day, Kondo and Hijikata went to meet with the general's newly appointed army chief, Awa Shoukatsu Kaishu.When he came back, Kondo frowned deeply, and Hijikata looked angry.

It just so happened that everyone was on the go all day, and only Okita was recuperating and Chizuru was taking care of him in the temporary residence inside the Kaye Bridge Gate.In addition, the only cadre who handles paperwork and other official duties for the busy deputy chief in the station is the acting group leader, Liu Quan.

Seeing the expressions of Kondo and Hijikata, Liu Quan couldn't help deeply regretting that he didn't study this period of history seriously.Just relying on a few popular stickers and nympho stickers, knowledge is really not enough!

"What's the matter? Today...wasn't you summoned by Mr. An Fangshou?" After hesitating for a while, Liu Quan decided to ask the question.

The good old Kondo had an expression on his face that was similar to being poor for words.On the other hand, Tufang's facial features were almost wrinkled together, with a gloomy expression on his face.

"I really didn't expect... Master An Fangshou is such a person." After a moment of silence, he said slowly.

Liu Quan was taken aback.

Although the further the situation develops, the less she can remember the specific historical details, but she still remembers the name of Sheng Haizhou.What is the founder of the neon modern navy, the teacher of Ryoma Sakamoto, the enlightened shogunate who contributed to the bloodless kaicheng of Edo—wait, bloodless kaicheng? !

Once this word popped into her mind, she could almost guess why Kondo looked disappointed and Hijikata looked angry.

Although they are both vassals, they have different positions, so how can they have fun together?

The boat of friendship capsizes as soon as it is said... Recently, I have been seeing all kinds of friendship boats capsized, right?

Liu Quan sighed secretly, and asked tentatively: "Could it be that...the ambition and determination of Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata are contrary to Mr. Anfangshu's plan...?!"

Kondo sighed.

"Master An Fangshou...you must have your own plan. As a subordinate, you can only obey..." He reluctantly said.

However, before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the angry voice of the earthwork.

"... Completely disregarding the strategy that Kondo-kun and everyone have seriously discussed, when it comes to the battle plan, he will only look around and talk in unkind words! It seems that he has no idea of ​​​​fighting the Sachang army at all! This is really reliable. What?! The general actually appointed such a person as the chief of the army, what is he planning to do?!"

Liu Quan: ...Of course I want to open the city without blood——no, this kind of thing must not be said directly.

She was silent for a moment, then reminded Hijikata cryptically: "...If there is another plan, since it is different from Mr. Kondo and Mr. Hijikata, there is no need to accept it happily..."

Tufang paused and remained silent for a long time before he let out a long sigh.

"I also thought of such a possibility. ... But now they still have to use us."

Liu Quan:? ?It's really hard to guess the mind of a big man...

Speaking of this, Kondo finally pulled himself together, and said in a happy tone: "Master Anfangshou relayed the order of the general! We are asked to go to occupy and defend Kofu! The general personally issued a notice , if you successfully capture Kofu Castle, you will be rewarded with a territory of one million koku, and everyone below the head of the newly selected group will get it! The director of the bureau will get [-] koku, the deputy chief [-] koku, and the team leaders and other assistants will get [-] koku each !"

Liu Quan: ...It's really a great reward, isn't it?

Hijikata frowned at her expression of reluctance to complain.

"What? Do you have something to say?"

Liu Quan: How can I say anything? Anyway, the general's wish has never been fulfilled... He doesn't want to resist Sa Changjun, and now he is drunk to reward his subordinates with fief rewards that almost go into other people's pockets...

Liu Quan: "No, it's just that I don't know why I thought of a similar situation before..."

Tu Fang was taken aback. "What similar situation?!"

Liu Quan smiled slyly.

"I was the only one who didn't get the bounty after the Ikeda House incident, Deputy Commander." She tried her best to look happy for the so-called inspiring good news, and said with a smile, "So the general's reward this time I probably still have no hope of getting it, what a pity~ I can only watch in reverence as Kondo-san and Hijikata-san have become the banner of tens of thousands of koku in the territory~"

Earthwork: "..."

"Ah~ ah, speaking of it, everyone promised to pool money to give you a gift as compensation, so Mr. Hijikata is the only one who hasn't given you a gift, right? Deputy Chief, how stingy."

Suddenly a teasing voice sounded behind him.

Hearing this kind of speech that stepped on the earthwork, who else is here besides Okita.

Today he seemed to be looking pretty good, wearing that orange-red feather woven, he had already stood at the door, leaning against the wall, with a very chic posture.Suddenly, it seemed that he was the leader of the Shinsengumi Ichiban, who was famous in Kyoto a few years ago.

Being trampled on a sore foot, Tufang straightened his back suddenly, his face changed back and forth several times, and when his face sank, he was about to get angry.

Liu Quan hurriedly interrupted.

"Why did Souji-kun wake up? It's so cold, you should wrap up in a quilt and sleep well. Sleeping indoors is the best in this weather, I don't even want to get up—"

Okita smiled lightly and glanced at her.

"I sleep every day, how can I tell which day is suitable and which day is not." There seemed to be a hint of sharp emotion in his words, but the smile on his face concealed the sharpness and bitterness very well .

Then he turned to Kondo.

"I heard you, Kondo-san. The General is planning to send our Shinsengumi to attack Kofu, right? This time, I must also be taken along—"

Before he finished speaking, he was roughly interrupted by the earthwork.

"Stop messing around, Chief! Wait until you recover from your illness before joining the battle! If the wounded and sick must be forced to go to the battlefield, then who are we? The current situation is very similar to that of the chief samurai. You have to fight, get well soon, there are plenty of opportunities to go to the battlefield! Not this time!"

Being rejected by Hijikata so bluntly, a look of astonishment and disbelief flashed across Okita's face, and there was a bit of hurt in that expression; The emotion of being unexpectedly hit by knowing was hidden, and the usual, somewhat mischievous, teasing smile appeared on his face again.

"Oh, Mr. Hijikata, how cruel~" He said in a coquettish tone, but stared fiercely at Hijikata's face, the tone of voice and eyes formed a sharp contrast.

"Mr. Kondo, just promise to take me with you~ Mr. Hijikata must want to make meritorious service on the battlefield, so that he can swallow up my [-] koku fief too~ Although that is still not as good as Mr. Kondo's [-] koku, But he can also boast that he is a banner of [-] shi~ It just so happens that this place is not far from Tama's hometown. Mr. Hijikata must think that if he is so boastful in front of everyone in his hometown, many people want to marry The girls who gave Master Hatakemoto rushed to marry the vice-president of the Shinsengumi~"

Liu Quan: "..."

Earthwork: "!!!"

Liu Quan felt that he had been hit by a map bomb from his boss, and he had a knowing blow... No, the real sword will kill.

"...General Manager!! What nonsense are you talking about!!" Hijikata roared.

Okita grinned and made up the knife.

"Hey~ Did I remember wrong~ When I was in Mibu Village before, didn't Mr. Hijikata send back the love letters written by those girls to show off when he sent letters home?" He copied Leaning his hands against the wall, he glanced at Liu Quan's face playfully, then slid away, blinked his eyes with a smile, and looked at Tu Fang furiously.

Earthwork: "..."

This is definitely a black history that cannot be erased no matter what!

Liu Quan didn't know whether to stand by and watch the show, or to interrupt and save the deputy chief's colorful face.

But before she decided on her position, the ghost-like Okita pointed the finger at her without warning.

"Hey, Yuki-chan, you think so too, don't you?"

Liu Quan: ... "Think so" what's the matter!Flip the table! !

However, she can also understand Okita's pain of not being able to fight because of his poor physical condition.With a sigh, she decided to back off.

"Mr. Zong Si is saying, the general's reward?" She replied with a smile, sighing loudly on purpose. "I'm worried about what that one is doing, and I can't get it."

Okita stared calmly at the woman who temporarily took over the position of team leader for him, and after a while, he suddenly grinned.

"No," he said, "I mean, those 'lots of girls who want to marry Master Hatakemoto.'"

Liu Quan: ...You provoke me like this, because I, as a woman, can enter the battle, replace your status and your right to appear on the stage, is this the mentality?Although I know that you especially can't care about patients who are arrogant and have a high ghost value, but you are so angry and emotional like a child, it's really... really annoying and funny, Mr. Zongsi?

"That's right. I also want to meet Tama's 'many girls who want to marry Mr. Hatakemoto'." She responded calmly with a smile, "I will pull them all away before they drown Mr. Kondo. ?”

The flames of war came to Kondo suddenly, and the good old Kondo blinked his eyes as if he couldn't react.

"How, how could there be me?! When I was in Tama, the girls all favored Ah Sui more..."

Liu Quan: ... Ah, I was hit knowingly by the director... No, I hit it unintentionally.

The expression on Hijikata's face cannot be described as colorful.

"Kondo-kun, why even you..." He finally couldn't help rolling his eyes - this kind of expression is extremely rare on the face of Oni's deputy chief - and then suddenly directed his anger at the perpetrator.

"Hey Chief! Don't talk nonsense!! After everyone is out, this temporary settlement is probably not a good place to recuperate. I have already contacted Uekiya's family in Sendagaya for you. Thanks to their care, you live If we recuperate at their home, we can feel at ease when we are out in battle... You can prepare and leave in a few days."

Okita was stunned.The previous relaxed, ghostly, teasing smile froze on his still young and handsome face.

"Oh, are you in such a hurry to get rid of me, Hijikata-san?" After being silent for a little longer than usual, he seemed to finally digest the news, and slowly grinned again.

"Look, I can really do it - do you want to try a sumo warm-up?" He said half-jokingly, looking as if he was really going to bend down, come to those strongmen The movement of half squatting and stepping on the ground.

Liu Quan couldn't bear to look away.Because although Okita's face was still smiling, those beautiful eyes had completely darkened and lost all the spirit.His tall body also seemed to be bent a lot in an instant, like a desperate child who knew he was about to be abandoned but could do nothing.

The first person I met after I entered this world was this person.The scene of being defeated almost instantly by his fierce swordsmanship is still vivid in my mind, but what will happen to the still young boy in front of him?To meet the last breath of life in the recuperation house that Dodo has found for him? !

...it shouldn't be like this.In this world, there is an unscientific change like water, and an unscientific little Qianhe, so it should be possible to let him survive unscientifically...? !

"Speaking of which, didn't Qianhe-chan say that she doesn't plan to go back to her home in Edo?" As if wanting to seize the last chance to save the life of the young swordsman in front of him, Liu Quan opened his mouth eagerly. mouth.

"Then, then...! Can you please ask Chizuru-chan to take care of the chief minister here after everyone goes out to Kofu?!" She was like a vicious female partner who was really eager to repel her rival in love, and she didn't care to think about Xiaoqian any more. Does Crane still have the idea of ​​taking the vice-long line, so he can't wait to throw out this proposal.

The other three present: "...!!!"

After being stunned by this explosive proposal for a moment, Kondo was the first person to react.

"Ahaha, it would be great if I could ask Yukimura-kun." Kondo smiled as if he was relieved.

After the initial astonishment, Okita's expression turned into a half-smile, glanced at Liu Quan, and blinked at her, clearly indicating, "Although your simple and rude proposal is a bit reckless, but I think it's also beneficial to me, so let's do it ~ Next, you can target the deputy chief to realize your conspiracy."

Liu Quan: ...

Earthwork: ...

"Then, I'll go and talk to Yukimura-kun in person. This is a request to seriously ask the other party! As long as it is for the chief executive's affairs, I will seriously ask the other party!" Kondo's face was full of "ahhh It's a joy to finally solve a troublesome matter," with a bright smile.

Okita muttered: "...whatever you want."

The earth party was silent and did not speak.

Liu Quan smiled and said: "That's great. The master of the banner with one hundred thousand shi is more reliable than the one with fifty thousand shi."

Hijikata: "...What the hell are you talking about!? Don't listen to the nonsense of the general manager, and follow him around! Isn't this what I have been telling you since before!"

Oh, the deputy chief lost his temper.

Liu Quan turned a deaf ear to the deputy chief's roar, and said with a smile, "I'm going to call Qianhe Jiang here!", then quickly slipped out of the hall with oil on the soles of his feet.
