Chapter 293
"I don't know what you're talking about." He lowered his voice and replied coldly.
"But I wouldn't hand her over to a dude like you. Nobody."
When the young man heard the words, he laughed in a low voice, as if he heard a very funny joke.
"This guy... really didn't tell you anything, did he? Hijikata-kun?" He smiled, and actually took another step forward.
But Qingyuan Xueye, who was standing in front of him, unexpectedly took a step back.
...This seems to be the first time she has retreated from any opponent.
Such thoughts popped up in Hijikata's mind in an instant.
"I am this guy's older brother."
The young man's smile and tone were very gentle, but Hijikata found that Kiyohara Yukiha's body was trembling slightly.
Earthwork:! ! !
He was stunned for a moment before realizing that this young man should be from Changzhou!Because according to Qingyuan Xueye's previous narration, she only has one older sister, but she doesn't know where she is now - and the person who can be called her elder brother can only come from her who lived a long time ago Just fall to the uncle's house in Changzhou Fan!
His right hand tightly held the handle of the "Izumi Mori Kanesada" knife, so hard that the veins on the back of his hand stretched faintly.
Drawing swords now is not the best way to deal with the situation. However, in this situation, the intention of the other party's coming is unclear, whether it is good intentions or maliciousness is also temporarily unclear, how many people they brought, and what they want to do is also unclear.You must be on guard at all times, and be prepared to fight immediately if something happens!
Compared with his tenseness, the other party seemed surprisingly relaxed.
Perhaps it was because he felt that he had already grasped the secret and handle of the two of them, and that he was invincible. The young man seemed not in a hurry to make a move, but was like a naughty cat, wanting to get his hands on The uncertainty and pain brought about by the small torture of tossing and turning the prey over and over indefinitely, and entertaining himself with this superior perspective of appreciation, as if doing so would bring him It is the same as the pleasure of coming to the highest place and mastering the fate of others.
"...It turns out that you don't know anything. What a poor man, Hijikata."
The polite honorific was suddenly removed, the young man smiled, his tone was still very peaceful, but the rudeness and hostility contained in it became more and more obvious.
"You, are you still wary of me as someone from Changzhou? It's so pitiful." He continued as if sighing.
"Looking at your stupid appearance of knowing nothing but desperately defending this liar girl who is good at lying, people can't help but sigh—it turns out that the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi, who is famous in Kyoto, is no more than That's it~"
The young man spoke in a singing-like tone.
"Stop... shut up!!" Qingyuan Xueye who was on the side suddenly blurted out.
There is always a smile on the young man's face.
"Huh? My sister, do you have any questions?"
"Would you like to introduce us to each other?"
"Sa, let me do it myself? ... My name is Jiu Tiao Daoqing."
"Although you are just a samurai from the countryside...But you should have a little common sense about how the children of the noble family are named?"
Jiu Tiao Dao Qing said rudely.
Tu Fang was slightly taken aback.
"Nine articles...?"
Jiu Tiao Daoqing smiled slightly.
"Ah~ That's right, it's the 'Kujo' you're thinking of. . . . My family's main family is the Kujo family, one of the dignified Fujiwara Kita family's five masters——and as a branch, we also have great success Opportunity to enter the Songdian clan who is also the Sheguan family."
"By the way, you don't know the real identity and name of this girl, do you? Well, let me introduce you—this is the adopted daughter of our Jiutiao family, Zezi."
For a moment, Tufang felt as if he had been electrocuted.Although he had been psychologically prepared, he couldn't help showing an extremely shocked expression on his face.
The adopted daughter of the Sheguan family... branch? !
In this era, the adopted daughter of such a noble family... is qualified to marry such a famous family, right? !Frankly speaking with a bit of disrespect, once their branch succeeds the Matsuden family, as this young man who claims to be "Jiujo Daoqing" said, then as the adopted daughter of the Matsuden family, even if she has to be as noble as Aizu It is not completely impossible for a person like a man to marry—then, why does such a person disguise himself as a man, commit himself to the "country rogue group" like the Shinsengumi, who are looked down upon by those big men, and fight with them? Fighting, killing, risking one's life? !
He subconsciously looked at her back.However, he couldn't see her expression, and he didn't know that her lips were trembling, her face was pale, and she couldn't speak a word.
The man who claimed to be Jiu Tiao Daoqing always had a gentle smile on his face, and his tone was soft, but his tone was full of killing intent.
"How is it? Hijikata-san? Do you understand?"
"Sa, come and thank me for waking up you, a poor man who has been blinded by women all this time?"
"You want to ask me why I suddenly told you the truth now? ——Because, those who disobey me will be destroyed....My sister is very clear about this."
He casually glanced at Kiyohara Yukiha standing there silently, as if to enhance the persuasiveness of his words.
"After all, it's too cruel to watch you die without knowing anything—so, I plan to tell you all the truth before then."
"...Or, rather than listening to a stranger like me, would you rather listen to the woman you like tell you?"
Intense anger and resentment, as well as the fear of losing everything and failing here intertwined, that kind of crazy emotion surged in her chest, and Liu Quan's body was trembling because of it.
"Nonsense...nonsense!" She finally couldn't hold back, and blurted out angrily.
"Wanting to inherit the Matsuden family...is that your own delusion?! You can't even inherit the declining branch of the Kujo family! What kind of Sheseki family are you trying to inherit!? What kind of life would I choose? My business has nothing to do with my surname and identity!?"
Once he finally blurted out, those words without thinking were like a flood, gushing out from the bottom of his heart.
"Using someone else as an adopted daughter without authorization... Don't make a wishful decision! Don't you just use this trick to win me over?! You think I care about the identity of this adopted daughter, and I'm doing the same thing as you The ridiculous dream of being able to join a famous family?!"
Regardless of whether these words are convincing or not, and no longer thinking about whether saying this will destroy the character design or conflict with the original author's setting, she yelled out forcefully.
"Compared to the Kujo family or the Matsuden family, the place I want to stay is the Shinsengumi! It's the place you call rudely the 'Country Ronshigumi' or the 'Wolf of Mibu'! Because in that Only in this place can I feel the value of my own existence, the warmth of fighting side by side with my companions, the warmth of someone caring, and the meaning of my hard work so far!!..."
Jiu Tiao Daoqing seemed to be slightly astonished, he paused for a rare moment, then lowered his gaze slightly, and let out a series of ghostly chuckles.
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
"Finally, have you spoken the truth, my dear sister?"
His tone was almost creepy soft.
"But don't say nice things, sister."
"Do you want to use this to impress the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi? You really think that the deputy chief of the demon who led the wolf of Mibu to rampage in Kyoto is too simple?!"
"Things, it has nothing to do with the absurd warmth you feel or the meaning of life... What matters is why you entered the Shinsengumi, why I think you have the value of being drawn... right? ?”
"Your motivation, the value you have contributed to the Kutiao family...these are the ones that matter, don't they."
He raised his eyes suddenly, his cold gaze swept over her face for a moment, and finally locked on Tu Fang who was standing not far behind her.He looked directly at the expression on the face of the earth, and laughed softly.
"Have you been shaken, Vice President of the Shinsengumi?"
He deliberately and rudely used this title to refer to Hijikata over and over again, reminding Hijikata that the Shinsengumi, which had condensed all his efforts, had been destroyed in Hakodate, and he was no longer a worthy deputy chief.
"Being deceived by such a woman to earn her wholehearted trust...how, as the deputy head of the Shinsengumi, he would make such a big mistake...isn't it reliable?!"
He sneered unscrupulously at Hijikata, whose expression turned to gloom in shock.
"Look at you like this, failure is inevitable."
He suddenly clapped his hands lightly.On the mountain road behind him, six or seven figures flashed in an instant.It seemed that it was the help he brought during his visit this time.
It's very strange that Jiu Tiao Daoqing only brought so few people—maybe it's because he didn't want to make a big fuss and was worried that bringing too many people would alarm others?Or is there a deeper meaning?Or is he confident enough in the skills of these people that he thinks that only a few of them will be able to capture his disobedient sister and eliminate the deputy chief of the Shinsengumi Oni?
Those few people did not speak, and completely obeyed Jiu Tiao Daoqing's orders. Immediately after they appeared, they stood in a semicircular position behind Jiu Tiao Daoqing, glaring at Liu Quan and Tufang, and everyone pulled out their hands. He took the knife from his waist.
Hijikata didn't have time to think carefully, he immediately dodged in front of Liu Quan, and pulled out the "Izumi Shou Kanesada".He deliberately took a few more steps forward to increase the distance between himself and Liu Quan, and then turned his face slightly.
"Stand back." He ordered her in a deep voice, "I will deal with these guys. These few people are not my opponents yet."
Liu Quan hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to say something, Jiu Tiao Daoqing had already walked aside, and thoughtfully gave up the open space outside the cabin door to the few obviously skilled men he brought. The thugs and the deputy head of the Shinsengumi on the opposite side.
Those people didn't worry about whether bullying the few would be demeanor or against morality, they rushed forward and surrounded Tufang in an instant.
