Liu Quan stopped.And the soldiers behind her walked around her, no one even looked at her, just continued to run forward with all their strength.

Liu Quan slowly retreated to the side of the road, pressing his right hand on the hilt of his sword, nervously watching the confrontation between Feng Jian and Tu Fang in the middle of the street.

Sure enough, after she stayed, Kazama stopped provoking the other members of the Shinsengumi.

"...Your Shinsengumi are really not picky." When the other members of the Shinsengumi disappeared at the end of the long street, he suddenly said to Hijikata in a sneering tone.

"Do you even recruit women?"

Hearing that he had revealed such a huge secret in one go, the knife that Tufang set up was still very stable, without the slightest wobble, as if he had already made up his mind that Liu Quan's true face would be discovered by others sooner or later.

"So, you, who make things difficult for women, have really done something troubling." He replied contemptuously in a calm tone.

I don't know why, although the scene was still in a state of being evenly matched and swords drawn, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Liu Quan's lips.

...Deputy Chief Sai Gao! !

Kazama probably intended to use this to disturb Hijikata's mind, but unfortunately it didn't work. Instead, he was retorted by the calm Hijikata, and his long and narrow red eyes slowly narrowed.

The knife flashed, and the two exchanged several moves in an instant.

The sound of banging metal colliding constantly resounded on the long street.After clearing the field, it seemed that the two of them no longer had any scruples, and fought with all their strength.

Liu Quan watched intently the two of them fighting.Although she knew that this was not something she should intervene in, she couldn't help but feel anxious and stared nervously at the situation of Hijikata.

Hijikata probably didn't know it yet, but she understood that Kazama was very powerful—a power that completely surpassed human beings.But now Hijikata is holding his own human body to fight against the wind.

When he was at Ikeda House, Okita probably lost to Kazama so quickly because he was coughing up blood—I don’t know if it was because of tuberculosis.Now, if Kazama is really angered and let him show the true face of the ghost clan, the attack power will rise to another level, and it will be impossible for Hijikata to defeat him by then, what should we do? !

When the two were in the midst of a fierce battle, a group of people suddenly appeared on the long street and rushed over, shouting: "Stop!"

The light onion-colored feathers on the bodies of Hijikata and Liu Quan are enough for those people to recognize their identities from a distance.In this case, they shouted to stop instead of "Hurry up and surround those two people from the Shinsengumi", which is enough to show that the people coming are friendly troops.

Liu Quan stood in front of them, still holding the hilt of his sword defensively.

Posture still has to be done.The Shinsengumi are undervalued this day, so take every possible opportunity to assert your dignity.At least Liu Quan thought so.

The leader of the little troop ran out of breath.

"Back...back!" He yelled at Liu Quan with a stern face, "We are from the Satsuma clan!"

Liu Quan raised his eyebrows, "...So, it's rude to meet you for the first time."

She said such polite words, but she didn't move a bit.

The man looked behind her angrily.

"Damn...! He really acted here without authorization again...!" He said to himself, and then seemed to realize that Liu Quan, an outsider from the Shinsengumi, was still standing in front of him, and his expression turned pale in an instant. Uglier.

"That person is also a member of our Satsuma clan, please stop." He probably also saw Liu Quan's unyielding toughness under his polite appearance, and Kazama was here to defend the rebellious clansmen of the Changzhou clan, completely ignoring Satsuma position, so his tone eased a lot.

"Although I feel very troubled... But we can't let him argue with you here. We are also very embarrassed when he acts without authorization, but because he is a person who is valued by the feudal lord, we are not easy to offend."

Facing the Shinsengumi, who had always been at odds with the Satsuma clan, he said these words with difficulty, his face turned green and pale.

Listening to this person's explanation, Liu Quan didn't know why the more he listened to it, the more he found it funny.

... Kazama turned out to be the one who could make the Satsuma clan subdue the Aizu clan and the Shinsengumi.

Thinking jokingly like this, Liu Quan didn't make things difficult for him anymore, but silently turned his body sideways to get out of the way.

That person was taken aback, he probably didn't expect that a member of the famous "Wolf of Mibu" would be so easy to talk to.But he immediately remembered his mission, rushed forward, and shouted: "Master Kazama! Please stop! The adults in the clan are looking for you urgently! Please come back with me immediately!"

The knife in Kazama's hand made a clang, blocked Hijikata's attack, and then jumped back, his face full of dissatisfaction.

"Tsk tsk, what good can those people do by looking for me?"

He said contemptuously, putting the knife back into its sheath impatiently.

Liu Quan also rushed to Tufang's side, and in a low voice reported to him all the content of his negotiations with the Satsuma clan just now, and by the way, put in a few private things that he knew in advance, as an additional reminder——Anyway The earth party will not reconfirm with those people in Satsuma.

After Kazama reluctantly followed the Satsuma clan and those people away, Tufang and Liu Quan also rushed to Tianwang Mountain.

"...Really? Those people in Satsuma said that he has a high status in Satsuma?" Hijikata pondered.

"It is said that the feudal lord thinks highly of him." Liu Quan responded, and reminded him a few more words by the way.

"But I don't think he has any respect for the feudal lord... At least those guys from Satsuma seem to have complained about this in a low voice."

Earthwork's face turned serious.

"Is that so...why does a person who shows dissatisfaction with the feudal lord still stay in Satsuma?"

Liu Quan pretended to be thinking, and said tentatively, "...Maybe, it's because he has other plans?"

Tu Fang suddenly turned his face to look at Liu Quan beside him.

Liu Quan tried his best to keep his face normal.

... Spoilers are dangerous, so be careful when you speak!

"That guy has the cheek to sit in a high position, shouldn't he be thinking of making military exploits?" After a while, Tufang commented suspiciously.

Liu Quan wanted to remind him more, but felt that it was too dangerous to do so.After hesitating for a while, she replied hesitantly: "That guy looks very arrogant... Probably, he might be thinking of something different from ordinary people, right?"

"...Really?" Hijikata seemed to be thinking seriously.

After walking a long way, he continued: "However, it's really strange that he insisted on keeping you... Is he planning to defeat me and then come back to revenge you for speaking unkindly to him? Then he I'm really overconfident in my own skills..."

To be honest, even Liu Quan didn't know the answer to this question.She sighed, and could only divert the topic paradoxically.

"You are right. But... after all, the other party was the guy who severely injured Okita-kun in the Ikeda house. Okita-kun's swordsmanship is excellent. Even if he is exhausted or injured, it stands to reason that he should not lose to ordinary people, right? That person sees it. It sounds a little strange, as if he doesn't care about Satsuma or Aizu... If he doesn't have a particularly strong strength, would he have such strong self-confidence?"

...that's all I can say at most.Any further spoilers would be dangerous.

Earth fell silent.

They then smoothly joined the other Shinsengumi members led by Nagakura at Tennosan.

The turmoil caused by the Changzhou Fan subsided in this way.Many generals of the Zunzhu faction in Changzhou died in battle or cut their sepulchers. Only Shinsaku Takasugi, who was imprisoned in Hagi City Prison for the crime of leaving the feudal clan, survived.

Although the Shinsengumi was troubled by the lack of internal communication channels, and the last and most brilliant record was hunting down the remnant party in Kyoto and the area around Tennosan Mountain outside the city after the Battle of Hagumon, it still gained further fame.

新选组因此受到了破格恩赏,会津藩的500两赏金及幕府的600两赏金相继发了下来,总计有31人获得了下赐的赏金,赏格从近藤的30两、土方的23两一直到十二名平队士的每人15两不等。队内一时间骚动着快活的空气。

But it is very strange that the team member Kiyohara Yukiya did not receive any rewards.There were some discussions among the Ping Brigade because of this matter, until one day at breakfast time, Kiyohara Yukiya himself publicly claimed that he had not pulled out the gun on the night of the Ikedaya incident or when he followed Hijikata to Tianwang Mountain to hunt down the remnants of Changzhou. Killing an enemy with a sword is a task of guarding. If you don't draw your sword, you are not eligible to receive the reward. Therefore, it is quite normal that you didn't award the reward to yourself at all, and so on.

These remarks seemed to have successfully quelled the discussion in the team, but when the cadres gathered in the hall for a meeting that night, Liu Quan was also passed on.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw everyone's eyes were on her.Most of the people had apologetic expressions on their faces, only Hijikata and Shannan had calm expressions, while Saito, who was usually very silent, and Okita, who always looked relaxed, had normal expressions.

Liu Quan understood almost immediately that this incident was probably the follow-up of her helping to calm the public opinion in the team during breakfast time.

With a simple and apologetic smile, Kondo grabbed his hair and hesitantly expressed to Liu Quan his gratitude and appreciation for her initiative to take responsibility and calm the public opinion in the team, and explained that he had reported to the shogunate and the Aizu clan to award Why was she excluded from the award list——

Liu Quan was not surprised to hear that this was the idea of ​​the deputy head of the ghost.Hijikata’s reason was that Liu Quan was a woman, and if Liu Quan’s reputation spread too widely, it would be difficult to end if someone discovered the secret of her true identity; what’s more, on the night when the Ikedaya incident happened, she was already in front of the governor of Kyoto and the vassals of Aizu. In front of the soldiers, there was a good show of a duel without drawing the sword. Probably the reputation has spread uncontrollably, and it is really not appropriate to make it public.

In fact, Liu Quan felt that there was nothing wrong with the earth's claim.In a sense, his thinking is still a kind of maintenance for her.If he really wanted to punish her for concealing her identity as a woman and joining the Shinsengumi, he could just order her to do seppuku directly, there's no need to think about it so much, is there?

So when Kondo stuttered to explain the embarrassment of not giving her a bonus, Liu Quan interrupted Kondo's words with a smile.

"Commander, I was telling the truth this morning. I did not draw my knife that night and should not have been rewarded for that. I think the deputy chief made the right decision not to report my name, and I would like to thank everyone Thoughts for me. Thank you so much."

Hijikata, Shannan and the others could still watch Liu Quan’s reaction calmly, but the others—especially the extroverted Nagakura Heisuke—had a look of “Even if you say that, we still think it’s a bit unfair” He stared at her with a guilty expression.

On the other hand, Okita sat with his arms folded, staring at Liu Quan with a smile on his face, with a prompt expression of "this is a good opportunity to ask for a price", he just didn't wink to imply that she took this opportunity to get along with the guilty director and Mo Mo The silent deputy chief asked for some considerable compensation.

Liu Quan was extremely dumbfounded by his thought of hurting others and benefiting himself, and secretly rolled his eyes at him.

There was a moment of silence in the room, and in the end, Hijikata probably couldn't stand the mutual winking between Okita and Liuquan, and said with a sullen face, "Hey, Chief Director, what is your expression? If you think this kind of treatment is unfair, then I will take responsibility for you." As Kiyohara-kun's team leader's responsibility, take half of the bounty you got to reward her!"

Okita widened his eyes exaggeratedly, "Me?!"

He held out his right hand and pointed to his face, as if in disbelief.

"The person who proposed to delete Yukiba-chan's name from the award list is you, the deputy commander. Then you shouldn't take responsibility and reward her with half of the bounty you received. What's more, you You can get more bounties than me...so Yukiba-chan can get more bounties—”

He didn't know when he called Liu Quan back to that mischievous nickname again.Probably because Liu Quan has performed really well recently, and he has succeeded in making the deputy chief he hates a lot of headaches.

Hijikata choked on Okita's mischievous retort, his brows furrowed almost immediately.

Liu Quan hurried out to smooth things over.

"I... I don't need a bounty. I usually don't have anything to spend money on. I was worried that I would fight with the other party that night, which would cause trouble for the deputy chief... Bi, after all, it is a newly selected team member and The battle between the soldiers of the Aizu feudal clan, as a subordinate of the Aizu feudal clan, the position will be a bit...uh..."

Yongcang at the side suddenly clapped his hands.

"Ah, since you said that, what do you want, Yukino?" He asked with a smile, "Let's chip in and buy a better gift for you...how about a good knife?"

Liu Quan was taken aback. "Eh?!"

Although Yongcang's proposal sounded capricious, it enlivened the atmosphere in the hall for a while.Harada also came over to participate in the discussion, and immediately rejected Yongcang's proposal.

"Shinpachi, you are always like this, that's why you don't like those girls in Shimabara..." He smiled lightly, with a narrow expression on his face, and played teasingly at Yongcang who immediately screamed. Said, "To give a girl a gift, you have to buy something cute and beautiful like a hair pin, a mirror, etc.—"

"Hey?!" Hirasuke on the side jumped out to express his opinion, not to be outdone, "But give Yukiya a hairpin, when will she wear it?!"

"Again, Yukina, you haven't worn a wakizashi all this time, have you?" Yongcang was defending his proposal, "so buying a knife is the best choice! And she can wear it every day without worrying about others. You'll see what's wrong!"

Even Okita, who found it interesting, joined the lively discussion.

"Wakizashi? Yukiha-chan, do you want one? Ah, speaking of which, I happened to see one in a good weapon shop a few days ago..." He had a mischievous expression on his face. Smiling, he squeezed his eyes at Liu Quan, who had a troubled expression of "God, someone stop these people" written all over his face, and suggested solemnly.

"...Only 50 taels. Hey, Shinpachi, Zuozhi, Hirasuke! There's another one! Let's chip in together!" He continued, and then openly cast his eyes on Hijikata for begging.

"Deputy chief, please take responsibility and take out the money too!" He said carelessly to the earth side as a matter of course.

Liu Quan was stunned—what kind of a threat is it that it costs 50 taels? !Did Jinkela do it? !

She hastened to stop Okita before he really angered Shinsengumi's Deputy Oni.

"Hey... Okita-kun! I don't need Wakizawa, I only need a knife. It's not that I don't have money, I'm just not used to using it! Everyone's money is hard to come by..."

Okita glanced at Hijikata mischievously.

"Hey. But here's another person who received the second highest bounty on the night of the Ikedaya incident without any fight or injury." He provocatively said as if intending to provoke Hijikata on purpose.

Liu Quan almost wanted to cover his mouth.

"Anyway...! I really don't need bounties or gifts!" She showed her courage and shouted loudly, "If everyone really wants to give me something... then, then... give me cherry cakes alright!!"

As soon as the word Sakuramochi was uttered, there was a moment of silence in the hall.

Then, first of all, Okita laughed out loud like he didn't want to save face.

"Sakura pancakes?!" He repeated Liu Quan's words, "You asked everyone for cherry pancakes in August?! Xueyejiang, you didn't want our gifts at all, so you chose cherry pancakes on purpose, right?"

Actually Liu Quan didn't think that much, she just planned to say something casually, so as to send away this group of guys who were too enthusiastic and almost angered the deputy chief of ghosts.

The first thought that popped into her mind was something like snacks or small snacks.But she doesn't like Kopeito, which has the same taste as ordinary rock candy, and the next choice that comes to mind is Sakura Mochi.

But who knew that Okita, who loves to eat gold flat candy, would expose her bad language so shamelessly.Liu Quan became angry from embarrassment, "Then let's talk about it next year!!"

Okita seemed annoyed by Liu Quan's refusal to cooperate with his prank on the deputy chief, tilted his head as if complaining and muttered: "Don't want the 50 taels of Wakizawa that you can get right away, I want to get it next year Cherry cakes worth tens of pennies... next year, these guys won't even remember to buy them for you..."

Liu Quan felt that the top of his head was really smoking.

"I will remember to remind you next year thank you!"

The roar came out, and there was a sudden silence in the hall.

After a while, it was actually Shannan who let out a chuckle first.

"Very good, very energetic. Health is the greatest reward."

Liu Quan suddenly felt terrified by this kind of smiling and gentle tone.She stood up hastily.

"...Yes! Then, I take my leave."

Damn it, this kind of plot of pushing money out is simply a huge mental torture to the player, absolutely don't do it again!
