Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Chapter 243

"Snow……"

The man dodged into the room deftly, but did not approach him, and was still vigilantly guarding the door.

"Shh—the director." The person lowered his voice, "Please keep your voice down!"

Kondo hurriedly turned over from the tatami and sat up.

"Oh..." He replied a little ashamedly, but felt that the acting group leader who was supposed to be with Ah Sui suddenly appeared here at this moment, it was so supernatural, so he couldn't help asking: "But... what are you doing here?!"

The person by the door turned out to be a woman dressed in a strange dress—she was wearing a women's blouse, but the hem was tied in a man's horse riding hakama; The way men dressed in western clothes was completely different. For some reason, it always made people feel a little embarrassed, so Kondo couldn't help but asked with concern.

Hearing Kondo's question, the woman hid in the shadow by the door without turning her head, peeked out, and replied in a low and concise voice: "This is my uncle's house. The deputy chief tried his best, but no one is willing to help." To intercede on your behalf and save you, in the end I had to be the one—”

Kondo:! ?

"...So that's the case. So, did Ah Sui ask you to come?" Kondo said calmly, as if he quickly calmed down from the initial shock and made his own judgment.

"However, you appeared here dressed like this...you sneaked out from here again...you were in trouble, didn't you?"

Liu Quan: ...The director's reasoning is very high!

However, I still need to say a little bit of politeness.Suing the deputy director in front of the director is not what an independent woman should do.

"No, it's nothing... I, uh... my uncle's house has served Changzhou from the very beginning, and it's only right that the deputy chief asked me to come back and try to see if I can still contribute..."

The words of that ghost Nissan seemed to be echoing in her mind again.

【That Hijikata, he still doubts you until now.Otherwise, he will not force you to come back here. 】

A word slipped out of her mouth subconsciously.

"Even if the deputy chief suspects that I have always had other purposes, that's a matter of course!"

Kondo looked at her in surprise.

"Really... So you think that Ah Sui doesn't really trust you..." He sighed and said, lowered his head for a while and thought about it, then raised his head and stared at her seriously.

"But I think that Ah Sui let you come here just because he believed what you said..." He continued as if he was a little in the way, with a not-so-obvious flush of shame appearing on his face.

"Although I can't agree with why he forced a girl to go to such a place alone...Of course I can understand his feelings, but for me, Isamu Kondo, I have to sacrifice a girl, which is too...too ..." He stammered, as if he had a lot to say but didn't know how to express it.

Liu Quan also felt very embarrassed.So she quickly interrupted Kondo.

"We can talk about these things after we escape. Director, I have no ability to persuade them to release you, so we'd better escape now."

Kondo:! ! !

But of course he wouldn't worry about the success rate of this escape operation, and whether Liu Quan would be hurt.Since this girl has come here with the consciousness of mortal death, he must also respond to her sacrifice and expectation.If the escape fails, he will do his best to block those enemy soldiers just like he did in Liushan, and let her escape alone.

The two sneaked out of the room where Kondo had been under house arrest for many days.Perhaps it was because Qingyuan Xueye knocked down all the guards outside the door when she came here, so she didn't meet anyone along the way quietly.

Kondo followed closely the acting team leader who took over the position of the general manager, and the two arrived at a small hidden door one after the other.

However, to Kondo's surprise, Kiyohara Yukiha did not open the door, but began to climb up a lush tree by the wall with all hands and feet.

Kondo watched with a little dumbfounded as she nimbly climbed up the branch with two or three moves, and then she found a safe place to sit down temporarily and bowed her head to greet him.

"It's okay to go from here, Chief. Climb up quickly!"

All I can do now is trust her.Kondo thought so, and began to climb up the tree in a hurry.

Of course, his agility is not that high, whether it is climbing a tree or leaping from the top of the tree to the wall next to it—although the distance is really not that far—the movements are dangerous and clumsy.But all in all, he successfully jumped from the wall to a street behind the mansion.Then the two started running wildly.

Although Edo was already on the eve of the storm, there were quite a few people patrolling around this mansion.Maybe it was their bad luck, or maybe it was because the guards who were dealt with by Kiyohara Yukiha were quickly discovered and showed their flaws, and then found that Kondo Yusuke was also missing at the same time; There were shouts and footsteps behind them—it sounded like they were chasing them.

Liu Quan ran ahead and Kondo followed closely behind, but players who had never purchased the [Edo Castle Map] item quickly discovered the huge disadvantage caused by their unfamiliarity with the roads and directions in the city.

Tonight, she finally found a chance to escape from the secret private residence of the Kujo family, but she is not a prophet, and she doesn't know if there is any safe place in Edo City where she can immediately rush to seek refuge.

It may be an option to take in Uekiya's mansion where the general manager recuperates, but it can't quench his thirst.It is also difficult to figure out where Hijikata and the rest of the Shinsengumi are now after being detained by Kujo Dokiyo for so many days and completely cut off news about the outside world.On the eve of Edo's upcoming bloodless opening, hiding in a small inn or somewhere is not a good choice.

Liu Quan was ready to hide in Yoshiwara Flower Street.According to what she knew about the similar Huajie Shimabara when she was in Kyoto, now it is a place like Huajie that has its own set of survival and behavior rules, and the behavior of betraying customers will never be forgiven.

But now they have to escape safely before talking about anything else.

The shouting behind him seemed to be getting closer.

Liu Quan was running non-stop, but due to Kondo's limited movement speed, her [Advanced Lightness Kung Fu] cheat was completely useless.

In order to get rid of the pursuers, they walked through the narrow alleys with a left bend and a right bend, trying not to stay in a straight alley for too long.

However, after turning a corner, Liu Quan was stunned.

... a dead end! !

Because Liu Quan didn't react for a while, he subconsciously rushed forward for a certain distance, and then slammed on the brakes as he approached the end of the alley.

The pursuers hadn't arrived here yet, but they had to continue fleeing quickly.Staying here for one more second increases the danger!

The urgent situation did not allow her to think too much, she made a quick decision, raised her hand and pulled out the [Mass-produced Longquan Sword] that was newly exchanged with the system bacteria at her waist, and raised the sword to chop off the door lock of the door next door.

Kondo reacted quickly, and stopped her as soon as he raised his hand.

"Mr. Xueye! What are you going to do?!"

Without looking back, Liu Quan said, "Break in, pass through this house, and escape from the other side."

Kondo paused.

"...What if the householder refuses to cooperate?"

Liu Quan was taken aback.

"Then—"

She subconsciously wanted to say "cut them off", a word that Okita likes to use, but she couldn't get it out of her mouth.

At such a critical moment, Kondo smiled slightly.

"Mr. Xueye," he called her name again out of the blue, "I, during these days under house arrest, I have nothing to do, and I have also heard some facts revealed by other people's chats."

Liu Quan:? ? ?

"I originally thought that the people in the capital and Edo were still sympathetic and loyal to the general...However, I heard that after the shoguns withdrew from the capital, those people actually went to welcome Sa Chang's army... Me, I didn’t understand at first. Satsuma is okay, didn’t those Changzhou people burn the capital during the Forbidden Gate Change, and brought great suffering to everyone?!”

Kondo's eyes drifted away for a moment, as if he was in a trance while thinking.

"But, I heard different people talking about what happened at that time, saying that some of the common people prayed together and thanked repeatedly, and some simply ran to the battlefield to deliver food, boil water, and wine to the Sa Chang. Reward those soldiers... But what about us? So far, in addition to the warm cheers and support in Tama's hometown, from the capital, Fushimi, Yodo, Kofu, all the way to Edo, not to mention the common people, even the shogunate It seems that those great figures in the world have abandoned us—"

Kondo said as if talking to himself.Then, without waiting for Liu Quan to answer him, he raised his head again, showing a refreshing smile that was exactly the same as that day when Liu Shan and Hijikata parted, as if he had made the final decision.

"Let's go, Yukiha-kun." He said, "I know you can jump onto the roof here—before, when you were at Ikeda House, you and A Sui rushed to support...you just jumped right into it. A room on the second floor? The director told me..."

Kondo's words instantly brought Liuquan back to the golden age of Shinsengumi a few years ago.

Thinking about it now, even though it was so difficult at that time, not only had to fight like a man, but also faced with Okita's hostility, Hijikata's doubts, everyone's indifference and defensiveness, and had to fight with Kazama's natural self-contained personality. There is no bright future for the powerful opponent of the cheat, but when I think about it now, I feel that that time was so beautiful, so beautiful that it hardly seems like a moment that really existed.

...No, now is not the time to be moved and reminisce about the past.

Liu Quan: "...Director! You won't want to stay here by yourself again... If that's the case, what's the point of the deputy chief asking me to come back here...?!"

"Yukiba-kun!!" Kondo shouted in a deep voice, and for a moment, his face, which was always as loyal as a good old man, showed a bit of sternness.

However, his expression soon softened again.

"When I was in the golden mansion, I had already made up my mind." He said.

"The Shinsengumi is where Yukiha-kun belongs, right?... At the beginning, I thought so. Therefore, I think it is necessary for Yukiha-kun to stay. After that, you have responded well My expectations at the beginning have become an outstanding part of the Shinsengumi...my trust is not in vain. I think it doesn't matter whether it's Sui or other cadres...they are all the same as me, and they will never trust you just because of their original decision. Make you regret what you left behind."

A look of astonishment appeared on Liu Quan's face, and the next moment, her eyes suddenly became moist.
