Su Shuang's world is collapsing [Comprehensive]

One bad news after another.

Not long after the New Year, which entered the third year of Qingying, the current Emperor Xiaoming passed away suddenly.

All kinds of gossip spread all over the sky in Kyoto.Some people say that the emperor had smallpox and could not be cured, some said that the emperor was murdered, and some even said that the new general Hitohashi Yoshiki lost to the predecessor Ie Mao on the issue of succession after the death of Ie Jo, so it is very important to support Ie Mao The father-in-law, Emperor Xiaoming, was also very jealous; it happened that the emperor had smallpox again and was already weak, so now was a good time to take advantage of his illness and kill him.

Under the atmosphere of rainy weather, the atmosphere in Nishi Honganji Temple was also very gloomy and depressing.

"The main hall is in a bad mood recently. Is it because of the bad news that came one after another, or because of something wisely foreseen?"

In the corner of the courtyard where no one was looking, Qing Yuanxue, a team member, seemed to be standing there alone looking at the spring cherry blossoms that were about to bloom.

However, only she knew that there was a gorgeous young man in a blue safari suit standing beside her, with a leisurely smile, asking such probing words.

Liu Quan replied blankly: "No one would be in a good mood in this situation. By the way, I asked you to monitor the matter of Kokotaro Ito. Did you find anything?"

The person who was interrogated (?) forcibly changed the subject, and Sanriyue Zongjin didn't bother with the previous temptation, but smiled and said: "Ahaha, you are indeed a smart master. How dare you want to use me and Izumi Shoushen?" In order to pay for this characteristic of being incapable of being seen by others in this world, let us do this kind of lurking and surveillance work, it really couldn't be more wonderful."

Liu Quan: "...No, you are the only one who can entrust that kind of task with peace of mind. Kane-sang is surprisingly straightforward in this regard, so he is not a suitable person for this kind of work."

Fu Sangshen, who was unexpectedly praised (?) by the judge, showed a happy smile upon hearing this.

"Ahaha, is the Lord Hall praising me? This is really rare..." He suddenly reached out to brush Liu Quan's hair with a smile—the height difference between the two happened to allow him to do so naturally— ——then before Liu Quan glared at him in confusion and annoyance, he said slowly: "The guy who is suspected by the main hall is planning something terrible."

Liu Quan slightly raised his eyebrows. "How to say?"

Sanri Yuezong held his hands close to his sleeves, and seemed to be looking at the flowers and trees in the courtyard, narrowing his eyes slightly.

"That person, in the near future, he wants to lead some people he has contacted privately to leave the Shinsengumi."

he said in a cold tone.

"Among those people, there are people who the main hall should be very concerned about. Like that young boy Todo Heisuke-kun, and—"

The handsome Fu Sangshen paused for a moment, and slowly dragged out the ending.

"On the night when the main hall summoned me, he also appeared there, and abducted Saito Kazu-kun from the main hall from me."

Although he already knew that Xiaoyi would be an undercover agent sent by Hijikata this time, pretending to betray the Shinsengumi and join the guards of the Imperial Tomb, when he heard Mikazuki Zongjin say his name and add such a strange title, Liu Quan still felt a little bit nervous. Trance and shock, as if there is an unreal feeling.

She opened her mouth, but finally smiled suddenly, and said in a low voice: "...he didn't abduct me, Mr. Sanriyue."

As if he hadn't thought that this was the main point of the judge's complaint, Fu Sangshen let out an "Oh?" in an instant.

Liu Quan sighed slightly.

"Sakura, it's about to bloom."

When playing the original game, the impressive CG of Zhang Xiaoyi standing under the cherry blossom tree when she plans to leave the Shinsengumi to join the Royal Tomb Guard, maybe she will witness it with her own eyes soon?

Then, she turned to Fu Sangshen beside her.

"Please continue to monitor Ito's every move, Mikazuki-kun."

Her brows and eyes were slightly lowered, revealing a somewhat sharp expression.

"Although I can't stop anything, I don't want to be ignorant when things happen.... Please be my eyes and let me see more things, Mikayue-kun."

Sankai Yuezong opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and after a while, he smiled.

"Haha, the main hall is still so good at saying things that people can't refuse."

Without authorization, he suddenly stretched out his hand and put it on the shoulder of the god judge. He walked around in front of Liu Quan, looking directly into her eyes, face to face.His beautiful eyes with the shape of the sun and the moon rolled with incomprehensible deep emotions.

"What you said... Even if you ask me to do something too much, I can't refuse it?" He said slowly with a smile in a seductive tone.

"Well, so let's talk about it now?... Tell me 'What you are going to do is very important to me, and the only thing I can trust and trust in this world is the crescent moon', then I will be willing to do it for you." Are you going to do anything?"

Liu Quan opened his eyes wide in shock, staring at Sanri Yuezong who was so close at hand.

The two just looked at each other in silence.After a while, as if she understood something, she took a deep breath.

"...What you are going to do is very important to me." Her voice was clear and calm, and she didn't seem to be forced to say it by Fu Sangshen, "The only thing in this world that I can trust and trust... ...is the crescent moon."

The smile on Fu Sangshen's face disappeared, showing a look of surprise, and he paused for a long time.

Then he smiled softly again.

"Oh, the main hall, this is really..."

He paused, and that gentle smile turned into a wry smile.

"The main hall, you are really cunning."

……

It didn't take long for Liu Quan to ask San Riyue to monitor, and the related matters unexpectedly came to her head in a way that caught people off guard.

One night, Liu Quan, who had no patrol mission, unexpectedly met Kondo, the director of the Shinsengumi, in the courtyard.

"Good evening, Director." Liu Quan greeted him with a smile.

However, the good old Kondo seemed to have something hard to say this time, he stuttered, and then said to her: "Ah... ah, it's Kiyohara. It just so happens..."

Just right? !

This was obviously the line before the NPC started sending missions, so Liu Quan couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly.

However, the good old Kondo hesitated in the next second.

"No...it's really a bit...in order not to let Saito...let you...this is also dangerous, this guy, A Sui!"

Liu Quan suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Although Kondo's voice was very low, almost talking to himself, Liu Quan's ears were very sharp, and he immediately caught the key words in this sentence.

A Sui, Saito, Dangerous.

...Now that the Royal Tomb Guards are about to be formed, what else can connect these three keywords together at once, and make the director of the Shinsengumi feel hesitant to speak? !

But...in the original work, the deputy chief asked Saito to pretend to betray the Shinsengumi and go undercover to the Royal Tomb Guards.Could it be that now he feels that this matter is too dangerous, and it is not worthwhile to damage the general Saito for no reason, so he plans to let her go? !The deputy chief isn't so scumbag, is he? !

Moreover, taking a ten thousand step back, that guy Ito invited Saito to drink in Shimabara to show his wooing, so there is a reason why Saito finally chose to join the Royal Tomb Guard... But Ito does not have it now. Please ask her!He didn't win her over at all!Probably because when the [Shannan-kun died and came back to life] incident happened in Chizuru's room last time, the scolding she gave to Ito made the other party feel that she was not worth being wooed at all?

Thinking wildly like this, Liu Quan put on a very calm expression on the surface.

"Mr. Kondo, as long as it is for the benefit of the Shinsengumi, I will complete any task seriously." She delivered a handsome line, and by the way comforted her in front of her because of the [traditional guidelines for the behavior that a good man should follow] The good old director who felt guilty again.

"Besides, do you admit it? My skills are better than most of the team members. You can rest assured that you can entrust me with anything?" She smiled slightly and said in a lively tone on purpose.

"Ah," Kondo seemed a little surprised, nodded shyly, hesitated, and said with difficulty: "...Azui is looking for you. When you go to his place, be careful not to be seen by others."

Liu Quan: ... Director, if I don't know that you are a good person with integrity and one-liners, I will really misunderstand you because of the wording of these few sentences! !

She secretly made a black line, left the courtyard and walked quietly to the deputy chief's room.

When she tiptoed to the corridor outside the deputy chief's room, she was still muttering to herself that she really looked like a suspicious flower picker who planned to attack the deputy chief in the middle of the night; The sound was enough to make her suddenly stop in surprise!

It was a voice deliberately suppressed to the lowest level.It comes from one of the names Kondo just mentioned, Saito.

"Now Ito's party is already secretly recruiting soldiers."

Immediately afterwards came Hijikata's calm voice that seemed to be holding back a trace of anger.

"I will apply to leave the team in the near future."

...Sure enough, he was talking about Kokotaro Ito's plan to set up Imperial Tomb Guards!

Liu Quan's footsteps only paused for a moment, and the two extremely vigilant people in the room immediately noticed it.

The partition door was pulled open with a bang like lightning, and at the same time there was a sound of drawing a knife.

"who is it?!"

Liu Quan didn't have the habit of walking around with a knife while staying in the garrison.She knew well that if Hijikata and Saito were to draw their swords and attack, she would not be able to resist, so she jumped back in a hurry and jumped directly from the corridor to the courtyard, then straightened her back and stretched slightly. sound.

"Sighing at the spring moon / I can't sleep in the narrow plain / I only think of the cool moon—"

The figure in black who drew his sword and got up was slightly taken aback.And the man sitting behind him was already in a rage.

"... Qingyuan! It's you again!!" He squeezed out her surname from between his teeth, as if he was already so angry with her.

"How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to learn bad things from the chief executive—!!"

Randomly found a haiku from "Toyotama Faju Collection" that Okita forced to force her at the time, and she read almost all of it when she was free. He was so angry that his hair exploded.Liu Quan couldn't help but chuckled, and coughed twice hastily to cover up.

"Didn't the deputy chief say he was going to teach me haiku?" She dragged out her voice slowly, and walked towards the door of Dojikata's room again, gesturing to Saito with her eyes as she walked.

Sure enough, Saito quickly understood what she meant, and silently withdrew his knife and retreated back to a corner where no one inside or outside the room could see, as if there was no one else in the deputy chief's room.

Liu Quan re-boarded the corridor in a stately manner, came to the door of the deputy chief's room, leaned on the partition door leisurely, and said in a casual tone: "This is my proudest work, deputy chief. I came here specially Please teach me."

Earthwork: "..."

Not only did he plagiarize his haiku for himself, but he also read it loudly in the dead of night in the courtyard... Did Mr. Kondo tell her that this is a secret mission, and that she must be concealed when she comes here? Don't alarm others!

He suppressed his breath, and said in a firm tone: "...Come in." He simply turned his face away and didn't want to talk to her again.

Liu Quan was very generous, Shi Shiran entered the room, closed the door behind his back, and sat down beside the door in a respectful manner, with an open-minded and studious look.

However, when she turned around the next moment, her face had already changed into a serious expression.

"Okay, I'll guard the gate for the deputy chief and Ichikun." She said in a teasing tone, looked at Saito who was sitting in the corner with a slight smile, and then turned her gaze to Hijikata.

"If you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. I have been thinking about it for a long time to enter the deputy chief's room in a reasonable way?"

Finally, Hijikata couldn't help lowering his voice and roaring at her: "...So this is the method you came up with after 'seriously thinking for a long time'?! Recite...recite the haiku I wrote?!"

"Oh, who knows what eyeliner of the Ito faction is lurking in the dark corner of this courtyard," Liu Quan replied with a smile, "Speaking of which, I am also a team member of the first team, and I usually have a good relationship with the chief minister. , and Souji-kun is one of the most loyal people to Mr. Kondo, right? His subordinates entered the deputy chief's room at this juncture for late-night secret talks. If they were seen, there is no good reason to dispel Ito's suspicion ?"

Tufang glared at Liu Quan angrily.At this time, Saito spoke as if he finally couldn't see it.

"If the deputy chief has an important task for Qing Yuan, please do so now. If necessary, I will avoid—"

Hijikata seemed to have finally come to his senses, and his expression became solemn again.

"No, this is exactly the task to be entrusted to the two of you. ... No one in the team knows about this." He turned to Saito's direction and paused slightly.

"Sorry, I thought it was going to be a lonely and long task. But please."
