Chapter 709 [Chapter 4] 132
The mustache is gone.
Kagemaru could only call "Anijia!", watching his back in vain.
He looked as if he was about to cry.
Liu Quan had no choice but to go forward and pat him on the shoulder silently.Then she felt that this was not enough, so she simply stood on tiptoe, opened her hands, and hugged this good brother who had lost his brother again from the side.
...Because if she didn't, she worried that she would cry.
Although she met this Mustache only by chance and soon separated again, his tenderness, black-heartedness, reason and will were exactly the same as in her impression.
Moreover, before leaving, he also told Liu Quan a big secret—or, to put it another way, officially confirmed one of her brain-bursting conjectures.
He said that his original god-inspector, whose pseudonym was "Yashima Laiyi", was indeed the one carefully selected by the government of time in history, with both outstanding force value and command ability as a general. Characters, Yuan Kuro Yoshitsune.
For Genkuro Yoshitsune, the recruitment of the government of time is also a chance for him to get rid of his tragic fate. His elder brother Minamoto, whom he once deeply trusted and admired and was willing to die for, doubts his reputation and his ability. , and finally forced him to death in Hiraizumi's Takakan with the help of his childhood friend Fujiwara Yasuhiro; this kind of encounter was enough to make him change his character drastically, and he would risk everything for the government of Shizhi who did not know how to save his life While serving his life, he became stubborn and extreme.
After becoming a general again, he had to live under an alias; however, those pasts that belonged to "Gen Yoshitsune" deeply carved his mark on him——
He was actually lucky in the company battle and found Higakiri early on; however, because Higakiri used to be his elder brother Minamoto's favorite sword, he treated Higakiri very harshly.His harsh treatment gradually turned into harsh abuse. In the end, Hidekiri, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally made up his mind to escape from his team in a battle with the time-traveling army, but because of this, he had to join the time-traveling army; then, he Along with those vicious monsters, they came to Utsunomiya Castle in 1868, where they met his younger brother, and the last man who claimed to be Minamoto Yoshitomo's subordinate and witnessed Minamoto Yoshitsune and Fujiwara Taiheng. The Goddess of Time.
"Be careful that 'Yashima Yoriyoshi' finds out the fact that you used to work for the Kamakura Temple, so he will attack you."
Before leaving, he smiled lightly and reminded her in a leisurely tone.The pseudonym of Minamoto Yoshitsune was slowly read out by him in a particularly sarcastic tone, and his gaze into the distance gradually became deeper and deeper.
"I also thought about it, why him? Why did the government of time take the risk of overturning history to recruit Minamoto Yoshitsune? Why did the government choose him instead of others? But none of this is within my power. of."
He withdrew his gaze and cast it on the face of the Goddess for the last time.
"If you still want to remember my words, just listen to my words and be careful of that person."
He said.
"Don't let him touch you...don't let him touch Tianzhen Pill."
His blood-red pupils stayed on her face for a long time, as if he wanted to look into the depths of her heart.
"...OK, can you do it for me?"
Liu Quan took a deep breath.
"Okay. . . . I promise." She replied without hesitation.
Hidekiri raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"Very good." He showed a happy expression, and then there was a hint of joking in his tone.
"Some people say 'women with big front teeth are the most loyal', so I'll take it as if you can keep the promise."
Liu Quan covered his mouth reflexively, leaving only two eyes open, staring at him angrily.
Higakiri laughed loudly, just as Kemaru leaned over and peeked at the female interrogator's face in doubt, asking curiously, "Hey, are the front teeth of the master really big? Why didn't I notice it!" In the voice of the class's naive questions, he strode towards the end of the street without looking back.
Now, the back of Higakiri was finally out of sight.
And the female judge also slowly let go of the shoulders of the knee pill, and took a step back.
With reddened eyes, Kagemaru looked suspiciously at the female judge, but suddenly saw her reach out and pull off the Shinsengumi armband pinned to her sleeve.
Katsumaru stumbled while speaking in surprise.
"Master...Master? Why did you suddenly take off the armband...?"
The female judge casually folded the cloth armband and put it back in her pocket, then turned and walked towards the city gate.
"No reason." She replied without turning her head.
"...It's just that we won't go to Shinsengumi's headquarters anymore."
Kagemaru was astonished.
"...But, you have worked so hard to sneak into this city, isn't it just to meet...uh—"
He thought for a while before finding out the name from his memory.
"The deputy chief of the Shinsengumi...? Isn't that right?"
When the female judge heard this, her footsteps paused slightly.
A few seconds later, she held down the handle of the knife at her waist again and walked slowly.
"Now I know," she said.
"It's unwise for me to go to see him."
Kagemaru: "Why—"
The female judge had already walked a certain distance, and stopped at this moment, pressed the handle of the knife at her waist, and looked back at the knee ball that was still subconsciously standing there.
As if trying to hide her true emotions, she raised her right hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose with her index finger.
"Since I'm destined to stand against him this time... It's meaningless to expect courage from him."
She lowered her gaze slightly, with a faint, self-deprecating smile in her voice.
"Wanting to see him before the battle was just to beg his forgiveness in my heart...but I can't even say frankly, 'I'm going to be your enemy today, please forgive me'."
"Obviously just now...you said such beautiful words to Hikikiri-kun, but in the end, it turns out that you are a weak person—"
Her ending was interrupted abruptly, and her tone was filled with melancholy for a moment.
"...No way."
"No matter how close you are, you shouldn't take another step forward."
"...Higakiri is right. I am no one's subordinate now...I am already a general."
Her eyes wandered away in a moment of melancholy, looking over Kemaru's shoulder, looking in the direction of the Shinsengumi Honjin, which should exist.
Along the way, in fact, there are already many clues about where the Shinsengumi is stationed now; as long as you follow these clues all the way, you will always find them.
They could find the majestic and heartbroken Oni's deputy chief, Hijikata Toshizo, whom they had been convinced, respected, and somewhat feared for many years.
He is also in this city at the moment.It's only a stone's throw away from her.Moreover, the general whom he respects, trusts, and is willing to risk his life to protect and follow - Shinsengumi Director Isamu Kondo, will be beheaded by the new government in two days.
How would he feel at this moment?Even if he must hide his deep grief and anger and try harder to lead everyone forward, it cannot hide the fact that he feels especially helpless pain when he thinks of Mr. Kondo when no one is around.
It is precisely because he obeyed Kondo's order in Liushan, and let Kondo face the menacing new government forces alone. When he thinks of this fact now, he will feel extraordinarily painful.
But at such a moment—even in the history of him having no special affection for her—let her watch him endure pain, command those former companions to fight against himself, and finally get hurt and swallow The failure makes it all the more sad.
However, no matter how much she wanted to be by his side at this moment, she couldn't.
Even if you want to go through the pain of parting and failure with him at this moment, hug his weathered shoulders and tell him that there are still people who are willing to follow him and the flag of sincerity to the end—it won’t work.
Perhaps this is the so-called fate.
"...Let's go, Kewan." She raised her voice slightly, calling Fu Sangshen who seemed to be completely confused by her capricious decision.
"I am now your general. Therefore, I have to take responsibility and be responsible to you...When necessary, endure those harmful emotions...to complete my mission."
She slowly spread a somewhat relieved and sad smile on her face.
"Because this is what Mr. Kondo once taught me."
