Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

Sure enough, after he said these words, he felt her body tremble slightly.

He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh with a hint of sadness and emotion.

"At the time, I was too focused on my own grief... refusing to think about those things, thinking that by doing so, I could pretend that I was still strong, that only by continuing to be strong, to the point of being horribly strong, could I continue to be judged by the Shinsengumi and Everyone needs-"

"However, now that I think about it, what did I miss at that time....Things that I didn't cherish at the time, now that I think about it, I realize that they are such precious things——"

Listening to Liu Quan's ears, Shannan seemed to be smiling slightly melancholy behind him.

"...Maybe God sent me here because of that. Because I used to be obsessed with the wrong things and neglected to do more right things—"

Reflecting on himself so seriously, Shannan let out a wry smile.

"Perhaps I should be punished for—"

Liu Quan felt a little unbearable.Impulsively, she grabbed Shannan's right hand that was stretched out from behind her to hold the rein.

Shannan seemed taken aback, his hand shook violently.

However, Liu Quan exerted a little effort and squeezed that hand as a sign of "encouragement" - at least that's what she thought.

"Mr. Shannan is not wrong..." she said.

"Of course, it cannot be said that anyone here must be guilty. I am not trying to excuse the 'Mr. manage..."

Shannan didn't speak.But his breathing seemed to be a little heavier, as if he was also shocked by her words.

Liu Quan thought about his words, and continued to say seriously: "...Maybe this is the so-called 'fate'. It's not necessarily a good thing... But, after going through those, we also know how to cherish important things even more, Important person--"

Shannan's body shook slightly.It wasn't until this time that Liu Quan realized that after going through the bumpy ride on the narrow horseback, the bodies of the two of them were already close together, so the trembling of Shannan's body quickly and clearly spread to her. on the body.This made her cheeks feel subconsciously hot for a while.

...No, no.Now is not the time to blush.

Liu Quan gritted his teeth and looked forward.

The outline of the town gradually emerged in the soft sunlight.The street, the houses on both sides, and the increasing number of pedestrians on the road...

Back again, Kyoto.

As soon as a trace of such emotion appeared in her heart, she realized that Shannan was lightly reining in the horse's rein.

"...It's not suitable to gallop on a horse on the streets of the city, it will bump into pedestrians." He explained in his usual gentle voice, "Let's just ride back slowly like this."

Liu Quan:!

Only then did she realize that something was wrong.

"...No, no! This is too conspicuous." She retorted immediately.

Shannan's gentle voice sounded innocently behind her.

"Why? Aren't you wearing men's clothes?"

He asked like this, as if he really felt so puzzled.

Liu Quan: "..."

Did you ask this question on purpose? It must be on purpose!hateful!How could it be possible to chase him on horseback in a kimono!But his sitting posture on a horse like his current one—two hands passed under her armpit respectively, reaching forward to control the rein, and talking close to her ear—is really easy to misunderstand!

Although she doesn't have a God's perspective, she can imagine that once she slows down the horse, this posture may look to others as if he is hugging her who is sitting in front of him!Even though they're both wearing men's clothing, there's nothing wrong with two men sitting in this position!It is even more eye-catching than the situation of a man and a woman!

Liu Quan rolled his eyes angrily, and said bluntly: "Although I have almost changed my clothes, it is strange to share a ride and walk on the streets in broad daylight... no matter how you look at it. If it attracts other people's attention, it would be terrible if someone reports it to someone! Let's get off the horse and walk."

Shannan said "Oh", with a slight sense of disappointment (?) in his tone.

Liu Quan pretended not to notice.

However, Shannan got off the horse quickly, and Liu Quan jumped off after him, fearing that he would stay on the horse for too long and attract unnecessary attention.

Fortunately, she woke up early and abandoned her horse a little distance outside the town in time to walk.If you are on the street, you will attract more strange stares!Not conducive to her secret plan at all!

Shannan led the horse and asked in a low voice, "What are we going to do now?"

Liu Quan glanced at "Watching the Moon", and found it difficult to explain its origin for a while.

Such a good horse is very conspicuous in the eyes of men - it is impossible for it to appear in places like carriages and horses that can be hired for temporary use with ordinary money.But now she doesn't have time to make up a story about its origin that Shannan will believe!

She thought for a while, and replied simply and rudely (?): "Leave it in the woods outside the city, and tie it to that tree."

She randomly found a tree in a relatively hidden location, deep in the sparse woods outside the city, and pointed in that direction.

Shannan: "..."

She felt that Shannan had tried his best not to show doubts in his eyes, but her answer was really not convincing at all.

So Liu Quan added another sentence: "...Someone will ride it away at that time. I just borrowed it temporarily last night."

Shannan sighed, and according to his words, led the horse back from the road for a certain distance, walked into the woods, tied the rein of "Watching the Moon" to the tree indicated by Liu Quan, and walked back quickly.

He didn't ask anything, but the atmosphere was really strange, Liu Quan couldn't help explaining a few more sentences: "I can't explain its origin, because it's a long story... But, last night, I really didn't know what to say. To catch up with you before others, I had to borrow this horse..."

They walked side by side towards the streets in the town. After hearing her poor explanation, Shannan narrowed his eyes slightly and laughed.

"I know you're looking for me," he replied.

Just when Liu Quan was relieved to hear that he didn't intend to chase after him, Shan Nan said something astonishing:

"...Just as I never asked you, what have you experienced after parting in Sendai City, and why did you come here?"

Liu Quan:! ! !

At this time, the crisis of the crime of escape has not been resolved, so it is not good to get to the bottom of it now, right? !

And... this standard Mr. Shannan's tone!He said "I didn't ask you", but in fact the meaning was very clear. He just wanted to hear her talk about her experience from leaving Sendai City in the previous world until now!How could it be possible to finish talking without spending three days and three nights? !

Liu Quan couldn't bear the black line, and replied: "...after the problem in front of you is solved, I will tell you if you want to know—"

very good.she thinks.During this long time, her strange storytelling skills increased!

Shannan smiled, as if he really believed in her promise.

"Then we can talk by candlelight then—right?"

Liu Quan: "..."

Why do you have to talk at night by holding candles? You are not a Rakshasa now, and it does not affect your actions during the day. Why can't you talk in broad daylight-no, that's not the point.

"...The next thing is the key point," she chose to skip the question without answering, and turned her head to look at Shannan who was walking beside her with a serious face.

"You must fully obey my arrangements."

Shan Nan seemed to be slightly taken aback, but immediately raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile, "Okay."

Liu Quan continued: "...Even if Mr. Hijikata behaves aggressively, he must be patient for a while."

Shannan: "...OK."

Liu Quan seriously emphasized: "He won't catch any evidence to prove that you really belonged to escape—by the way, you didn't leave any letters in the village that could be used as excuses for them?!"

She suddenly remembered that in history, when Shannan escaped, he left a note saying "go to Edo" in the garrison. This also became a solid proof that he escaped deliberately—

Last night Yongcang did not mention the existence of such a letter or a note.Liu Quan stared hopefully at Shannan, seeing him startled for a moment, then shaking his head with a smile, he couldn't help feeling overjoyed.

"Since there is no one, that would be the best..." she said, "Please be sure to write down what I say to you next."

Shannan listened to her with great interest, and even asked her a few questions from time to time, some of which were not even related to her plan, just out of curiosity—for example, "When did you think of this plan?" ?”, or “How did you come up with this?”.

Although it is also a happy thing to see Mr. Shannan regain his interest in a certain matter; but... Liu Quan is about to be overwhelmed by his hundred thousand whys.

She was almost speechless when asked, and said with a wry smile: "Is this the thinking of a staff officer or a military adviser... It's completely beyond the imagination of us mortals—"

Shannan's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and his tone suddenly became a little meaningful.

"No," he said with a smile, "In my opinion... Mr. Xueye is not a 'mortal'."

Liu Quan:? !

"You, what are you talking about...?" She asked weakly, feeling a guilty conscience (?) that was about to be seen through.

Shan Nan didn't answer her question, but pursed his lips slightly, looked up at the sky with a smile, and said, "...the sky is going to change."

Sure enough, the sunlight that was still bright when I was riding on the horse just now had completely disappeared. There were layers of dark clouds rolling in the sky, and the light was dimmed.

Liu Quan's face darkened slightly.

"Let's hurry," she said.

What she didn't say was that she feared that the sudden and inexplicable gloomy weather wasn't a coincidence.

If she remembers correctly, she once said in a chat with other god judges that when the non-violation envoy appears, the sky will be completely dark, lightning flashes in the dark clouds, accompanied by the sound of thunder, and the appearance is very impressive. foot (fog!).

However, when will there be violations of non-examination?

She knew in her heart that when they entered Kyoto, the weather just got worse, and there was no inspection violation, because it did not violate history—up to now, in the Shinsengumi's identification, Shannan is still Being in the state of "running away without authorization" is still in line with history; as for the weather getting worse, it is probably because under her intervention, Okita failed to catch up with Shannan in Otsu and bring him back in person.

But once she cleared Shannan of the charge of "getting away", what would happen, even now she dared not think about it.

In such an increasingly gloomy sky, they finally returned to Kyoto—to be precise, they finally returned to the Shinsengumi settlement, Yagi Residence.

As soon as they stepped into the gate of Yagi Mansion, a huge commotion was caused.

One after another, people poured out from all over the mansion, shouting "Mr. Shannan is back!", "Where did Mr. Shannan go! Send someone back early to deliver a letter!" Good!" and so on—but if you listen carefully, most of the words are trying to whitewash the disappearance of Shannan that day and night, and no one mentioned the word "take off".

Then, Hijikata's figure finally appeared.

He seemed to be in the same hurry as the others. He hurried over from the room upon hearing the news, strode across the courtyard, and walked towards Shannan who was standing calmly at the door with a sullen face. For a moment, it seemed that the entire Yagi mansion was about to be swept away—and the other people who had already rushed to the door backed away to make way for him.

Hijikata just walked across the road in the middle of the crowd in such an awe-inspiring manner, and came straight to Shannan.

He suddenly stopped at a place two steps away from Shannan, his eyes swept over Shannan, and then fell on Liu who was standing behind the side of Shannan—just not stepping into the threshold of the gate of Yagi Mansion—that position. Quan body.Then, slowly, he narrowed his eyes.
