Liuquan and Xiwan successfully returned to the outside of the city.

At this time, the sky was already bright, and after reuniting with the Fusangshen who had gathered from all over the place, they chose a high ground not far away that was suitable for watching, and looked at the new government troops that had assembled at the city gate.

Hotaru mischievously counted the hundreds of cannons brought by the new government army—by the way, reported their layout to the female examiner.

Before Liuquan and Khenmaru came back, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada had carefully compiled all the information collected by everyone, and now he was reporting and analyzing to Liuquan in an orderly manner.

In the first phase, the two brothers, Yizhen and Yaoken, lined up on the left and right, and each guarded the two sides of this highland, in case someone discovers their existence and attacks them, or suddenly discovers the appearance of the time retrograde army. of emergencies.

Kagemaru habitually stood beside the Goddess, but he was quickly dispatched by Mikazuki Munechi skillfully to guard the back direction of this highland.

So standing there now, seriously observing the battle in Utsunomiya Castle, there are actually only two people left.

The female examiner, and Sanri Yuezong is near.

Standing under a big tree on the high ground, the female god-inspector seemed to be seriously looking at Utsunomiya Castle, which had fallen into a melee, and seemed to be not looking at anything, just simply lost in thought or thinking.

Just after a while, when the gate of Utsunomiya Castle was about to be blasted open by the artillery of the new government army, Mikazuki Munejin, who had been standing beside her without saying a word, suddenly spoke leisurely.

"This time, I will still lose—"

The female judge shivered slightly, and immediately turned her head to stare at him.

There was a faint smile on the corner of the handsome Fu Sangshen's lips, and he was baptized by the strange eyes of the judge, and he calmly finished the following words.

"...Shinsengumi."

Saying this fact now seems to be somewhat provocative; but the female interrogator listened to the term he spit out with an unchanged expression, and even nodded slightly, saying: "...It seems to be true."

Received a reaction that was different from what he expected, Sankai Yuezong raised his eyebrows slightly.

"There seems to be something different about Mr. Xueye—" He suddenly leaned down slightly and approached her ear, and said leisurely.

At this time, the female examiner had turned around again, continued to watch the fierce battle erupting at the gate of Utsunomiya Castle, and responded casually: "...Really?"

Sanri Yuezong raised the corners of his lips.

"Yes." He confirmed again.

A faint smile also appeared on the face of the female judge.

"Well, hopefully it's a good change," she said casually.Suddenly, the pupils shrank sharply!

Because just now, the artillery of the new government army went through another round of salvo, and the huge wooden gate of Utsunomiya Castle finally couldn't withstand the power of this modern firearm, and it made a toothache and creaking sound, shaking and falling down. down!

The morale of the army on the side of the new government army has been boosted!They let out a roar, shouted loudly, swarmed up from the gap opened by the artillery, and poured into the city!

The female examiner stared at the gap in the city gate without frowning. After most of the new government troops had rushed into the city, she sighed, turned around, and raised her voice. Said: "Let's go too."

Yiqi Yizhen, Yaoken, and Kewan all looked away, and Yingwan and Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada also retracted their hands that were vigilantly pressed on the handle of the waist at their waists, and straightened up; only standing beside the female judge Sanri Yuezong asked with a smile, "What? Is it time?"

The Goddess was still looking in the direction of Utsunomiya Castle, and after a while, she suddenly strode down the hillside of the small highland without looking back.

"There is no best time." Her voice floated along with the choking smoke on the battlefield in the early morning wind.

"It's time to prepare for the worst."

According to the tasks she had arranged in advance, as soon as they entered the city, the fusangshens would disperse - Yingwan, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, Yiqi Yizhen and Yaoken went to guard the four directions of Utsunomiya Castle; Kagemaru has a high mobility value, so it is used as a messenger by following the female judge (no).

As for one of the five swords in the world, he was originally asked to go to the castle town to monitor whether the place that is the front line of the battle has time to trace the army and make trouble; Opportunities should be given to young people.” He naturally handed over the task of going to the castle town to Kagemaru.

Liu Quan: No, don't pretend to have amnesia... You forgot that Knee Pill is also a Genji treasure, about the same age as you [Erkang hand]

However, during the battle, she didn't think much about arguing with Sanri Yuezong.After simply instructing Katsumaru to "report immediately if you have any questions", she continued walking down the street.

There are collapsed ruins and houses that were hit by artillery fire on both sides of the road, and choking black ash and smoke are floating in the air.There were endless screams and cries.

The fire that started when the shogunate army captured the town a few days ago had been burning all night before it was just extinguished; now the ruins and ruins beside the road have been destroyed again.

Liu Quan stepped over the bloodstains, potholes, broken bricks and broken tiles on the ground, and walked straight in a certain direction with a blank expression.

Mikazuki Zongjin followed behind her, and suddenly said: "...Could it be that you are going to the Shinsengumi's garrison headquarters. It is rare to see such enthusiastic guests for the second visit in such a short period of time. Ah, it will scare them to a certain extent, hahaha."

Liu Quan walked around a wooden pillar that fell on the street and blocked her way, and stopped for a moment on the fallen body of a soldier wearing the color of the shogunate army uniform by the roadside, and said calmly: "After I entered the city this morning, I didn't Didn't visit Shinsengumi's Honjin...and didn't meet Hijikata-san—if that's what you really want to know."

Mikazuki Zongjin was resting on the handle of the main body knife at his waist, and his left index finger, which was tapping on the sword while walking, suddenly paused.A few seconds later, he folded his black leather gloved hand together, gripped the handle of the knife, and said nonchalantly, "Ah, that's really surprising—I thought you took a risk before the battle." Then sneaking into the city with great danger, just to meet the Deputy Chief of the Shinsengumi?"

Liu Quan continued walking expressionlessly, and replied without turning his head: "It was originally like this...but now I have changed my mind."

"...Why?" Sankai Yuezong asked quickly.

As if he was finally tired of this kind of conversation like playing charades in circles, Liu Quan turned around and looked directly at Fu Sangshen, the most beautiful of the Five Swords in the World, with a trace of fatigue in his eyes.

"Nothing." She replied lightly.

"...It's just that he is no longer my general. I am no longer his subordinate..."

Saying so, her eyes flickered slightly.

"I also have tasks that I have to complete. No matter what world it is at this moment... the paths he and I are going to take are different."

There seemed to be a deep sigh in her ending, but she didn't show much sentimental emotion. Instead, she pressed the handle of the knife at her waist and continued to turn her head and stride forward.

"The reason why I came here is because I don't think the time-traveling army will just forget it-now that Utsunomiya Castle has been breached by the new government army, they still haven't taken any action, so their focus must be to change The important facts after this—" As she walked, she began to describe her inferences after deep thinking in an extremely calm tone.

"That is, the injury incident of Mr. Hijikata, who is the deputy leader of the Shinsengumi, and Akizuki Tonosuke, the leader of the Denji team."

Sankai Yuezong nodded slightly, as if she was not surprised at all that she would draw such a bold inference.

There was a slight smile on his lips, and he responded in a tone similar to an exclamation: "...Really."

Then, without warning, he took two steps forward and walked around in front of her, blocking her way.On the street where there was no trace of a living person, he stretched out his right hand wearing a black leather glove, lifted the chin of the Goddess, and stared deeply at her.

"In that case, let me help you." He said casually, his index finger under the black leather glove slowly stroking the curve of her jaw.

Although being whispered so closely by the beautiful and magnetic voice, the female examiner remained expressionless and just stood there without moving.In the eyes that were forced to look at him because of the provocation of the jaw, the original dark eyes settled down, looking as cold and unwavering as a silent deep pool.

Of course, Mikazuki Zongjin didn't seem to intend to further provoke her nerves here.

After briefly tracing the arc from her cheek to the jaw with his fingertips covered by leather gloves, he let go of his hand quickly, took a step back, looked at her with a smile, and pressed the handle of the knife at his waist with his left hand.

"Then, I'll go to the Chuanxi team's position for you to do a good reconnaissance." He said leisurely, deliberately biting the term "Chuanxi team" a little bit harder, and he saw her face change slightly.

As if he still felt that this was not enough, he Shi Shiran added another sentence.

"Is it alright to leave you here alone?...I entrust you to watch over the Shinsengumi."

The female judge's eyebrows jumped slightly.

"...Of course." She replied in a deadpan tone.

"That's why I'm here."

After Sanri Yuezong walked away, the female judge stood on the street, looked around carefully, then walked towards the corpse of a soldier lying on the roadside, bent slightly, and even raised her hand, lifted the corpse and fell beside it The wooden plank was pulled out from under the plank-an old-fashioned rifle covered in dust and scarred on the gun body!
