Liu Quan: "..."

She didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, pushing the thickened clouds in the sky to roll slowly, covering most of the sun that was still bright just now.

The wind picked up the branches and leaves of the flowers and trees that had just been affected by the battle and broke off the ground, and they rolled all the way across the ground between the two of them.

Liu Quan thought about it, but couldn't think of what else he should say at this moment of parting forever.

It seems that saying anything is shallow and deep, and it seems that nothing can save him from dying on this land in the future, and then turning into the fate of a plot character on the battle map where she will fight countless times in the future.At that time, will the person who commands the soldiers to fight behind the banner painted with rattan pattern be himself?After eliminating the time-traveling army that wanted to invade this land, would she still see him leading his army and going out to battle with his huge brother who rode "Gaoluhei"?

"... By the way," she forced a smile and said:

"In order to chase you, I rode away Lord Guoheng's 'Gao Chuhei' without authorization. I'm really sorry.... When you go back, please help to bring that horse back to Master Guoheng."

He hasn't received Kamakura's envoy yet, and at this time she can't just say that she is going to leave now, otherwise all the time-space rifts and out-of-control plots will be resolved reasonably, but at the last moment, in the small story of "Izumi Yuqian's Whereabouts" Mistakes in minor issues cannot be tolerated.

So Liu Quan added another sentence.

"What about me, I'll go back to the Fujiquan Pavilion on my own... Soon, I will return the Fujiquan Pavilion to you..."

Yasuhira Fujiwara interrupted her suddenly behind her.

"...That's right, at this moment, you have no reason to stay any longer."

Liu Quan: "..."

Yes, he should be angry.After all, she was the first to abandon him in front of the powerful forces of the Kamakura Palace.

She felt a little speechless for a while.

She didn't defend herself, and Fujiwara Taiheng didn't seem to expect her to give any convincing reasons.

His gaze crossed her shoulders in front of him, and drifted to the distant sky.He suddenly raised the corners of his lips slightly, and there was a hint of emotion in his tone unconsciously.

"I have chosen what I should protect. How many things can I keep without giving up anything..."

Liu Quan:? !

This... seems to be his sincere words? !

We have gone through so many things together, always seeing his cold expression, his angry expression, his indifferent and defensive expression... until the end, he finally began to tell her what was really in his heart Yet.

Liu Quan suddenly turned around.

The body made such a decision completely before the rationality began to think.

Then, she saw Fujiwara Yasuhira behind her, his pupils widened unexpectedly when he saw her unexpectedly turn his head again, showing a look of surprise.

At this time, Liu Quan felt that his behavior of turning around was reckless.However, since they have already done so, let's simply... let's talk about each other in a proper way.

She grinned in embarrassment, and explained with a little stumble: "Well, at the end... I still want to talk to you, Tai Heng."

Fujiwara Taiheng seemed a little surprised, he was silent for a moment before speaking, his voice sounded a bit muffled.

"Speaking... until now, it doesn't make any sense anymore." He slowly replied, "There should be no words that can be used for conversation..."

Being rejected so simply and neatly, Liu Quan seemed a little dazed for a moment.

...Isn't it even good to say goodbye to each other?

"But I..." she argued subconsciously.

However, before she finished speaking, Fujiwara Taiheng spoke again.His brows were drawn down slightly, as if to say how embarrassed and annoyed he was by the next fact.

"You said it just now, you came to Oshu with the mission given to you by the Kamakura Palace."

he said coldly.

Liu Quan: "..."

She felt that she had nothing to say, and nothing to defend herself.Even if the real "Izumi Gozen" ended up liking the Oshu Chief, her motives were indeed that in the first place.No amount of excuses can only be pale and futile.

However, at the next moment, she heard Fujiwara Yasuhiro sighing imperceptibly.

"You have completed your mission and will leave my world... In this way, you will have nothing to do with me." He said softly.

Liu Quan:! ! !

Her eyes widened uncontrollably, and she was about to rush up and grab him in an instant, to see who this OOC person was.

Perhaps seeing her clumsy look with wide-eyed eyes and slightly opened mouth unknowingly due to extreme surprise, Fujiwara Yasuhira suddenly raised the corners of her lips.

He reached into his arms, groped around, took out two pieces of paper and handed them to her.

Liu Quan:?

Although she was puzzled, she reached out to take it, and said as she took it, "This is, what—"

Her voice disappeared into the unspoken coda.Because of her good eyesight, she didn't even need to bring the two pieces of paper to the position in front of her eyes to see clearly what was written on them.

Those two pieces of paper were the ones that Fujiwara Yasuhira had hidden in his front skirt when he was assassinated just now, but were cut into two pieces by the assailant.

At that time, he quickly bent down to pick it up, and put it back in his arms.She thought it was some important information or document, but now when she put the two pieces of paper together, she found that there was actually only one poem written on it—to be precise, a waka.

【The River of Asuka/Asuka Kawabuchi Ima Naruse/The world is impermanent/However, my heart admires people/From the beginning to the end, it will never change】

Liu Quan was shocked.

"This, what the hell is...?!" She murmured, her eyes widened, staring at the few lines on the paper.

She knew the handwriting.

To be exact, she had just seen this handwriting with her own eyes less than a month ago.

... On the morning of the fake wedding ceremony, Fujiwara Yasuhira delivered the paper with waka written on it to Fujiizumi Hall according to the etiquette.

At that time, what was written on that piece of paper was [One word is worth ten thousand gold / Although the clouds and autumn leaves are withered / Everything fades / I am the only one who admires the king and speaks / I will never change after autumn].

Then, when she heard his voice, it was still cold and flat, but it seemed to be slightly stalked, with a strange feeling of lightness.

"... Song of the Later Dynasty." He replied firmly in a somewhat rude and straightforward tone.

Song of the Later Dynasty? !

Liu Quan felt a buzzing sound in his head, as if his head had been bombarded with such shocking words and became numb.

She stared in disbelief at the waka that was cut in half by the attacker with a single knife, and the beautiful ink marks like flowing clouds and flowing water were his handwriting, which was absolutely true.

The Song of the Later Dynasty is a waka that the man will give to the woman in the early morning of the next morning after completing the wedding ceremony and staying at the woman's home.This is also a necessary process to complete the wedding ceremony.

...Even if it's just a show, is it necessary...to be so complete?In any case, the ceremony held to lure Mrs. Masako to come to the shrine will end at that festival of the shrine.If he wins, there is no need to continue this deceitful ceremony; and if he fails, it is even more impossible to complete the ceremony...

"...Tai Heng?" She murmured his name in a questioning tone, feeling the huge amount of information behind this waka hit her brain, causing her brain to short-circuit for a while.

Fujiwara Yasuhira looked away.

"I didn't intend to give it to you at first." He said gruffly, "But now that you're leaving, let me show you."

He paused, and his voice became even colder.

"Anyway, it's written because of you...it won't be appropriate to give it to others in the future."

Liu Quan: "..."

Holding the two pieces of paper, she suddenly felt unable to say anything.

...Taiheng, you don't know, do you?You no longer have a "future"—

I know everything, yet I can't say anything.

On the 5-4 map... what is the name of the time-traveling army that I repeatedly marched to the boss point and killed?

"Kamakura changed Atsuga Shiyama side Oshu Defense Force", right?

What I have killed over and over again are those monsters who want to help you win, right?

She suddenly had a sore nose, and she had to twitch her nose a few times in a disrespectful manner to push back the burst of unbearable tears.

Of course Fujiwara Yasuhira also heard the small sound of her sniffling.He turned his gaze back, looked at her expression, suddenly bent his lips slightly, and smiled very OOC.

"Didn't you just say that I should take responsibility for the war that has already started... I can't escape." He said quietly.

This sentence sounds now, as if she is letting him die.

Liu Quan had to sniff his nose harder again.If she doesn't do this, she has no doubt that tears of weakness will flood her eyes in the next second, completely destroying the persona of the "Izumi Yuqian" villain female supporting role.

Hearing her sniffling sound became louder, Yasuhiro Fujiwara seemed to pause.Then, he suddenly started to untie the big purple cloak painted with golden vine flower patterns on his shoulders.

Liu Quan:?

With deft fingers, he swiftly undid the buttons of the large cloak and the gold-brown cords that fastened it.

Then, he shook the big cloak and put it directly on Liu Quan's shoulders.

Liu Quan: "Huh?"

Fujiwara Yasuhira snorted.

"Although summer has not completely passed, the weather in Ozhou has begun to get cooler as autumn approaches."

He said in a blunt tone.

"Hmph, if it makes you catch a cold, those retainers behind you might be annoying to death."

His cold eyes glanced at the six people who were scattered not far away.

"...Maybe I will just complain to the Kamakura Palace." He added, his eyebrows slightly lowered.

"I don't want to give him any excuse to attack me." He said coldly.

For a moment Liu Quan felt a little overwhelmed.

This cloak is impossible to take away no matter what.Nor did she want to take it away.

But how to decline his kindness now?Decline the kind of hidden concern wrapped in ice from beginning to end?

However, just wearing his cloak obediently like this doesn't seem to be an option.Liu Quan sighed, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Fujiwara Taiheng.

"—That's it, let's go." He said in a stiff tone.

The author has something to say:

February 8:
