Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Kirino Toshiaki pointed at Saigo Takamori, showing exaggerated surprise, and shouted: "Look everyone! Even Mr. Xigo laughed! This is big news!"

Everyone burst into another burst of hahaha laughter.

Liu Quan: "..."

Ah, it feels like the atmosphere is getting more and more in place.Something like "If you want to destroy it, you must first drive it crazy"...

Under Liu Quan's dark face, the others became more and more cheerful.Toshiki Kirino, who was in charge of creating the atmosphere, was even more active, with a look of "come and be happy", walking through the crowd with a small water bottle, making lame and blunt jokes hahaha, while raising his head to drink from time to time The next few sips of water mixed with wine in the jug, the laughter became louder and louder, as if the sound was about to shake for ten miles, and the officers and soldiers were called in now.

Under his deliberate exaggeration, the atmosphere was indeed heated up.Whether they were really happy or pretended to be cheerful, the people sitting around the fire laughed heartily.

Even Takamori Saigo laughed.

"Hey! Shinpachi! Don't you plan to take off that coat yet!"

Holding a bunch of roasted birds in his hand, Xixiang, who was chewing until the corner of his mouth was greasy, pointed to Murata Shinpachi sitting next to him with a smile, and asked.

"It almost stinks to death! The smell of this coat alone can probably knock down a few enemies! Isn't it!" He turned to the other side and asked the others with an exaggerated smile.

Others were also very appreciative of the venue and laughed loudly, and some people shouted indiscriminately as if they were joking:

"I think it's okay to take it off and shake the ashes! It's enough to choke and pass out several times!"

"Hey, Shin Hachikun! Please stand on the downwind side. If you squat upwind, those of us below will give off a strange smell!"

"Is there money hidden in Xin Bajun's coat? I really haven't seen him take it off!"

"Hey Shinpachi! Don't forget us old buddies when you are rich!"

Liu Quan: "..."

Her expression twitched for a while, and she almost blurted out to ask those people, there is a saying in Chinese called "If you are rich, don't forget each other", do you understand?

But amidst the laughter, Murata Shinpachi performed extremely dramatically.

As soon as he turned over and stood up, like an affectionate hero in a romantic drama, he exaggeratedly covered his left chest with his right hand and said, "Wait, Yoshinosuke! I won't take off this clothes no matter how dirty it is." !Because ah—”

His tone changed suddenly, and he said with a sense of complacency and showing off, "This place is full of longing for women!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest a few times.

Liu Quan: "..."

Ah, what a showman.She thought with black lines all over her face.

But the others are almost too high to be possessed by dramatists.Toshiki Kirino rushed over first and grabbed Murata Shinpachi by the collar.

"Woman?! Is it a woman?!" He seemed to rush forward and planned to forcefully take off Murata's coat, "What! When did you guys hide from us that you have a lover! Take it off and show us!"

The others laughed too, shouting for him.

"But let us see what good things I gave you!"

"Ah, cunning! Murata-kun is trying to make our eyes turn red with jealousy!"

Kirino Toshiaki shouted: "You guys also come to help!"

Immediately, two people rushed up, and sure enough, one left and one right held Murata Shinpachi's arms, and Kirino Toshiki took the opportunity to take off the dirty jacket of the foreign suit, and with a backhand shake, put the lining That side was shaken off, and it was bright for everyone to see.

Sure enough, there was a photo stitched on the inside of the left chest!

Everyone exploded.

"What! It's a French woman!"

"Wow, what a beauty!"

"Murata, are you so lucky? It's really enviable!"

Even Xixiang joined in the din, pointing to a line of writing on the photo and asking, "Hey, what's this? What's it saying?"

Now that Murata's coat had fallen into the hands of Toshiki Kirino, the other two let go of his arms; he turned his wrist and said with a nonchalant expression, "Oh, this one... give it to me, let me see .”

Unexpectedly, Kirino handed him the jacket.In the next second, he hugged his coat and turned around and ran away.

"This is a secret!"

Everyone swarmed up, shouting "Don't let him run away!", chasing after him, all alive and kicking, as if they were going to immediately push Murata, the guy who left the order without authorization, to the ground and beat him hard to vent his anger.

Xixiang sat where he was, looked at the crowd of crazy people, and laughed.

After laughing a few times, he naturally turned to Liu Quan who was also staying near the fire and did not join the ranks of the crowd.

"I'm sorry, Miss Kutiao." There was still a little aftermath of the bold laughter in his voice, but the words he said were extremely rational and calm.

"It's still dragging you down to this point... Tomorrow, when the battle starts, you should find a place to hide. Those people are not going to attack a woman... After everything is over, you can go home .Your father will probably be implicated too, but maybe you can be saved..."

However, the unexpected and tenacious Miss Kutiao who followed them all the way to this day laughed strangely after hearing these words.

"Yeah," she said.

Xixiang paused, feeling that her rhetorical tone was a bit strange.Normally, he wouldn't be in the mood to delve into it; but since it's the last moment, and this girl has been implicated by them, he feels that he should listen to her feelings more out of reason.Then he said in an unusually gentle manner:

"Your father, although ambitious and talented, is a bit greedy for life and afraid of death, but even if he reports you after being arrested, Yizang and they will not accept his statement. After all, the responsibility must be shifted to a woman to take the blame , Kazuzo can't do that kind of thing..."

Miss Kujo didn't seem to be comforted by such a statement.She snorted, with undisguised contempt in her tone.

"I'm not afraid of what that father will say about me. He has been playing with the wind all his life, and his luck should come to an end..."

Xixiang was a little surprised, laughed twice, and didn't express any opinion on this, but said: "...I didn't find a better place to die for everyone, what a pity."

Miss Kujo didn't speak.

Xixiang didn't expect her to say anything, looking at the group of laughing people in the distance, he said softly: "...I hope that tomorrow—no, today—everyone will have a decent end...after all, there is Die with dignity is also the samurai's pursuit."

Miss Jiutiao suddenly sneered.

There was undisguised malice in this sneer, Xixiang heard it, and turned to look at her in surprise.

Miss Kujo didn't seem to have any intention of evading or eager to cover up.She just cast her eyes on him so dignifiedly, without a hint of guilt in her expression.

"Speaking of the honorable death a samurai seeks... one thing comes to mind," she said.

"After the incident of the Forbidden Gate, those rebels from Changzhou rushed towards Tianwang Mountain in a panic, just wanting to find a good place to cut their seppuku...they knocked down the gates of the Imperial Palace and could do the seppuku calmly, those people are really I don't feel bad..."

Xixiang was taken aback.

He rummaged through his memory with difficulty, but in the end he couldn't find any relevant information.After all, he was not the one who was specifically responsible for the pursuit at that time. It was not easy to hear and remember the news that "the rebellious party in Changzhou was cut into the belly of Tianwang Mountain" afterwards.

Although Satsuma and Changzhou formally cooperated later, he also found it difficult to explain the change of the forbidden door.But it doesn't make sense to evaluate such a small matter now.On the contrary, Miss Jiutiao, who shouldn't be familiar with such small details and has a deep memory, must have her reasons for raising this matter at this time.

So he groaned, and responded casually: "I don't remember so many details... Is it just like this to let them rush to Tianwang Mountain to cut their stomachs? The shogunate should have sent someone to chase after them, right? What about those people? Did they stop?"

Miss Kujo raised her eyelids and glanced at him.Perhaps because of the flickering firelight, there was a shadow floating on her face.

"Then I would like to thank you Satsuma clan," her voice was light and ethereal, "With the kindness of hundreds of years ago, I sent out inhuman things to help... No matter how heroic the pursuers are, they are just mortals -"

Xixiang suddenly felt shocked!

This kind of matter is related to Satsuma's internal secrets, and he is still clear.

However, even if the young girl in front of her can be used as half an intelligence agency, she shouldn't know this!unless--

Xixiang's face was gloomy for a moment, and he said slowly:

"...You are very caring, Miss Kutiao."

Miss Kutiao grinned, seemingly unaware of his sudden coercion, and replied casually:

"I'm just curious, why don't those non-human races come to help Satsuma now?"

Although after dawn, we may have to face the same helpless but inevitable final moment as they did, what was revealed on that beautiful face was not the almost crazy carnival or fear when despair came, but——

The maliciousness is as clear as gloating.

It is carefully concealed by the kind of "hysterical madness that will erupt before the end", the deep hatred and resentment.

Xixiang paused for a moment, and didn't show any inconceivable expression. He just showed a tired look, sighed, and asked in a low voice: "...Who sent you here?"

Miss Kutiao slightly curled her lips.

Just when Xixiang thought she would be handsome and frankly confess who the man behind the scenes who was able to stretch his hand so long was—of course, he was powerless to take revenge or hold the other party accountable, he just wanted to It's all about knowing the real identity or name of the other party - but I heard Miss Kujo's voice obviously cheered up.

"...you'll find out soon enough," she said.

"Before you seek a decent place to meet your last hour, I'll tell you."

The author has something to say:

February 10:

It is expected that the next chapter or the next chapter will be launched urgently!Then the deputy chief will appear handsomely!

You may not remember the Tianwangshan seppuku event that my sister mentioned in this chapter. It was after the Changzhou rogues attacked the Imperial Palace after the Forbidden Gate Incident, the Changzhou rogues fled to Tianwangshan to prepare for seppuku.

The Shinsengumi was ordered to pursue, but was stopped by Kazama (the general of Xigui) on the way.As a result, the deputy chief and Kazama got into a fight.

In the end, of course, it was because of the delay here that they failed to arrest Changzhou Langshi and let them go to Tianwang Mountain to cut seppuku first.

Kazama listened to Satsuma's order to block the way because the Onizu received the favor of Satsuma in the Battle of Sekigahara hundreds of years ago, so in order to repay the favor.

So the meaning of the girl is actually satirizing Satsuma's double standards. They sympathized with the rebellious party who attacked the imperial palace. Kondo-san, who was so dedicated to serving the country, was forced to beheaded by them in the end, and he couldn't even die decently. get【.

Next update: It should be the afternoon or evening of the 23rd.

I've been quite busy recently, and I have to go abroad next month, but I will definitely finish writing the deputy long line before then.
