Chapter 249
Liu Quan walked quickly on the mountain road.
After escaping from Edo Castle, she finally got the exact news after several inquiries——
After Deputy Chief Hijikata led the Shinsengumi to merge with the old shogunate army, they captured Utsunomiya Castle with the old shogunate army on the [-]th.However, this victory lasted very short-lived. Only four days later, the new government forces recaptured Utsunomiya Castle, and Hijikata was also wounded in this battle.
Now the Shinsengumi should have retreated to Aizu with the old shogunate.On the way from Edo to Aizu, Liuquan passed the news that Kondo was executed in Banqiao.
When he heard the news, what Liu Quan thought of before his grief was a seemingly calm and irrelevant sigh.
[Ah... the only mission I have failed so far...]
Then the pain of "Kondo-san is really dead, and I couldn't make him vomit his lunch" came up, making her truly realize that even if she is an excellent player who has crossed three worlds(?), In the face of the cruel reality and the torrent of the times, how small can he be.
In the next moment, the conflict of "how do I go back to see the deputy chief, and how do I tell him the whole thing" is accompanied by such contradictions as "the chief minister must be very sad" and "everyone will be very painful". The recognition of human beings, mixed with the sharp pain in her heart, surged up together, drowning her whole body.
Yet she must move on.We must continue to follow in the footsteps of Shinsengumi.She is no longer the stubborn and rebellious elder sister controlling Kutiao Noriko, and she is no longer even the omnipotent campus goddess Liuquan Xinya. Now she is Kiyohara Yukiha, acting leader of the Shinsengumi [-]st Division, and must return to her true self. to the place where I belong--
She was walking on the mountain road all the way, and when she was approaching the outskirts of Baihe City, she turned over a small slope, and then suddenly found that there were seven or eight familiar people standing on the mountain road downhill——————————————————— Pick a team!
Her eyesight is very good, and she recognized one of them at a glance. It was in Kyoto that year when Saito left the team to go undercover for the Imperial Tomb Guards, and when she was ordered to contact Saito in a single line, she mistakenly thought that "Kyohara Yukiya" was outside Okada who had a lover and was yelled at by the deputy chief for stalking her!
Her spirit was lifted, and she hurriedly rushed down from the top of the slope a few steps, until she ran in front of those soldiers.
"Hey——Okada-kun!! Why are you here—?" She exclaimed happily.
However, after those team members heard her voice, everyone froze and turned their heads suddenly, with expressions of shock and disbelief; without exception.
And the single-celled Okada's reaction was even more unexpected.The moment he saw her face clearly, he showed an extremely indignant expression, his face flushed, he pulled out the knife from his waist with a clang, held it with both hands, and pointed the tip at her.
"...What else are you here for? Kiyohara Yukiya?!" His voice seemed to be distorted by the huge anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
Liu Quan:? !
...something is wrong! !
Fortunately, this guy Okada is a single-celled animal who can't hide things in his heart.
"...Haven't you already betrayed us and surrendered to the thugs of Sa Chang!?" He roared, angrily clenched the sword in his hand, the tip of the sword trembled slightly with his hands because of the extreme anger .
Liu Quan was shocked.
"Surrender... Chief Sa?!" She murmured and repeated, then suddenly raised her sharp eyes.
"How could I surrender to Chief Sa!! Are you all crazy?! Do you just not believe me?!" she snapped.
The other team members seemed to be intimidated by the powerful aura she erupted in an instant, and they didn't speak or move for a while.Only the nervous Okada, still holding a knife, shouted angrily: "Hasn't the side of the chief Sa already announced it?! Said that because the chief was also captured by them, why are they unstoppable on the side of His Majesty and Dayi?" That's why Kiyohara Yuki, the acting head of the Shinsengumi Ichiba, also volunteered for them! And because he honestly confessed many secrets inside the Shinsengumi, he made a huge contribution, so he was exempted from punishment! If you want to turn from the dark to the bright, you are The best example! Your Majesty has a big heart, so the sooner you surrender them, the better—!!"
Liu Quan:! ! !
"I didn't surrender to them! I didn't confess any internal secrets about the Shinsengumi!! This is a vicious framing!!" She immediately shouted loudly, but her heart was beating very fast.
Someone who has the ability to make such an announcement, fabricate such a vicious lie that sounds so credible to frame her... who else? !Who else? !
"...what else can I say!!" Okada seemed to be taken aback by her shouting, but he is also a person who has experienced countless bloody storms with the Shinsengumi, and of course he can't be scared away with a few words ; so he quickly pulled himself together and replied loudly.
"Of course you will defend yourself! If this is the case, then tell me, what happened to you leaving the team in Edo without authorization?! Don't tell me that you are going to rescue the director! Things that even the deputy director can't do , Those things that the adults of the shogunate can't do, if you ask me, can you do it?!"
Liu Quan: "..."
What he said made sense, and she couldn't refute it for a while without being able to tell the truth.
Although many of the soldiers who retreated to Edo after the Battle of Kofu did escape, even the law in the game is useless in the face of this reality; however, as the famous [deputy chef] in the team, he is also a cadre who has been in the team for many years If, unlike Shinpachi and Harada, they did not have justified reasons, and applied and obtained permission in front of the director and deputy director, and left the team in a hurry without anyone knowing, it would seem that outsiders would I feel very suspicious, and this is understandable...
But how to explain it?Speaking of things that the deputy chief can't do, things that the adults in the shogunate dare not or don't want to manage, the deputy chief will pin his last hope on her, because the deputy chief knows that her family has something to do with the Changzhou Fan Hook up? !
Liu Quan, who has always been full of verbal skills, the brief silence at this moment, in the eyes of Okada, is almost a proof of her guilt and acquiescence.The loyal, single-minded guy was mad.
He turned his head and yelled at the team members who seemed to be in charge of guarding missions on the mountain road here: "...what are you doing waiting in a daze!! Pull out your knives!! This person is no longer a newcomer. The cadres of the election team!! They are the ones who betrayed us!!"
After being yelled at by him, those soldiers set up their knives as if they had just woken up from a dream, with guard and a little fear on their faces—probably because they were intimidated by Liu Quan's superb swordsmanship in the past— look.
Liu Quan: "...Why doesn't it make sense, these idiots..."
She sighed resignedly.
"I want to see the deputy chief." She decided not to get entangled with these single-celled animals, and said straightforwardly, "I will give him my explanation. What will happen to me afterwards, let the deputy chief decide. I I don’t want to fight with you, the power of the Shinsengumi comrades shouldn’t be used here, but wouldn’t it be better to use it on the battlefield—”
"The director, the director is dead!! We will never let you, a traitor, have another chance to harm the deputy director!!" Okada burst into a loud cry, raised his knife, and suddenly stabbed at her!
Liu Quan: "..."
She can't really beat her companion... How can she explain this to the deputy chief?So she had no choice but to dodge sideways, dodging Okada's knife.
Okada missed the blow, gritted his teeth fiercely, let out a "ts", turned around and slashed again.
From Liu Quan's point of view, this loyal and somewhat careless guy, although his loyalty is commendable, his swordsmanship has not improved much over the years.In her eyes, every move he made was completely flawed, and he would have to be chopped down to the ground and screamed if he drew his knife and whipped him twice.
However, if the team member who is loyal to the Shinsengumi is cut down... the whole set of convincing vicious rumors that Kujo Dokiyo fabricated for her will be even more unclear!
So she had no choice but to use the additional high mobility brought by her [Advanced Lightness Kungfu] to dodge Okada's slashing and slashing again and again.
Although he didn't fight back, anyone could tell the superiority of swordsmanship.In the case of not drawing the sword, the opponent can not cut himself. This kind of thing can only be done if one's own strength is higher than the opponent's.
Behind them, finally, a hot-blooded Xinjinping soldier couldn't hold back, and rushed up with a knife.
"Since it's the guy who betrayed the Shinsengumi, there's nothing to say! Kill it——"
This time Liu Quan suddenly fell into a disadvantage.
It doesn't matter if you dodge one person, now she has to face seven or eight people.And he couldn't draw his sword and slash through the crowd like he did in the late night streets of Edo, without showing mercy; so Liu Quan had no choice but to draw his sword immediately.
...Even if there is a bit of the traits of the Holy Mother, it must not be used at this time.He was about to be hacked to death, and it was absurd to still think about leaving a life for the other party.Even if you want to see the deputy chief again and clear up all these vicious lies and rumors, you have to live to have the opportunity to talk about other things.
Just as Liu Quan was about to jump forward, someone behind her threw a few stones, passing by her side, surrounded by the sound of the wind, and flew towards the soldiers on the opposite side like bullets fired!
Liu Quan immediately turned his head reflexively.
"...Stop it, Mikazuki! This time, the opponent is a member of the Shinsengumi team, so you can't beat me up like you did to my brother's subordinates! What if they think they are monsters!"
Behind her, she was dressed in a gorgeous blue safari suit, dressed like a nobleman in the Heian Dynasty, who seemed only suitable for drinking tea in a gorgeous palace, which was completely different from the loess-filled mountain road scene in the chaotic era of the end of the Bakugou period. Mikayue Zongjin, who didn't match, appeared there.
Hearing her words, he seemed to feel amused and raised the corners of his mouth.
"For me, anyone who wants to harm Xueye-jun, no matter who he is, is my enemy."
That kind of melodious and charming voice spoke sharp words in an elegant tone.
"For that kind of person, no matter how many people come, I will clean it up for you, okay?"
Liu Quan: ...! ! !
When is this, you black-bellied grandpa are still talking about such beautiful and gorgeous otome game lines to flirt with girls with a nonchalant expression on your face! !
