In fact, the current Rulai Hall, where can it be called what kind of "look".

It stands to reason that there should have been a village, or at least a house, but the silhouettes of the houses that now emerge under the cover of night and the light of artillery fire are only abrupt, collapsing lines, and the places that should have been doors and windows are now only black holes, and the doors and sashes are completely gone.

The terrain around Nyorai Hall is not much better at all.

What should have been hills and fields is now full of potholes, rudimentary trenches dug by man, and there are also potholes blown down by shells, trees have been blown down, and trenches have been blown down in some places, and by the occasional fire, there are still a few places where people have fallen motionless and probably died.

Faced with such a tragic situation, Liu Quan was completely stunned.

She stood on that small hill, as if stunned for a long time, before she subconsciously squirmed her lips and said something, and that sentence was completely the sound of her subconscious directly directing her mouth to move, and her brain did not understand what she had just said until she received a few nearly broken syllables from the vague sound of air in her ears, and then squeaked and rattled for a while.

She said "Yijun".

She wanted to ask, Yijun, how did you survive in such a desperate situation?

Although she knew that the person in history had nothing to do with her, at this moment, when the tragic scene of Rulai Hall was completely and truly presented in front of her eyes, she also appeared in her mind at the same time the scene she saw in the floating projection of the Endless Palace.

The enemy soldiers holding the Nishiki Imperial Banner lined up in front of him, and the front row of enemy soldiers half-knelt on the ground to form a shooting posture, and the black holes of the rifles raised by Qi brushed were like a forest, all pointing at him alone. And Xiao Yi just drew his sword and rushed towards the enemy, and the hem of his long black dress floated in the wind, forming a chic and resolute arc

He shouted at Saito Ichi, the leader of the Shinsengumi Sanban Group, and swore to the Seiji Banner that he would never wait for him from now on

Liu Quan stood on a small hill with a gentle slope, staring blankly at the scene in front of him.

Then, without looking back, she ordered, "Guangzhong, you stay here and guard Miss Kanna." She is like this now, it is not appropriate to appear in front of others, you should pay attention to concealment, and you can also observe the movement in the direction of Rulaitang here. If we retreat, you can come and join us again. ”

The candlestick cut Guangzhong nodded, and said loudly, "Knowledge"

Liu Quan bowed slightly, and then shouted, "Others, come with me to the Nyorai Hall."

Then, without waiting for the mourning gods behind her to respond, she rushed down the hill like that, through the cannon fire that exploded around her body, and rushed straight to the Rulai Hall, which was already almost ruined.

Even Yanagiquan, who doesn't know much about the details of this real history, is probably beginning to understand a little subconsciously at this moment, and no one will be spared if he fights like this, and in history, the Shinsengumi survived this long night, breaking through at dawn, and in the end, several people survived, including Saitoichi.

Now, however, a fierce offensive and a heavier artillery bombardment have arrived sooner than expected.

Perhaps this is the way the time-traveling march has gradually moved away from simply sending out fallen swords to kill, and their focus has begun to change to something deeper, changing history at the source, killing important people, or forcing the inquisitors sent by the government to kill important people, as Yanagizumi once encountered in Utsunomiya Castle in 1868.

And on this night, Yanagizumi was almost sure that his guess was correct, and the breakthrough in the choice of the march was indeed the leader of the Shinsengumi Sanban Group and the captain of the Aizu Shinsengumi, Saitoichi, who was lucky enough to survive the Ruraido raid.

Unlike what happened in history, they wanted Saito to die.

Liu Quan gritted his teeth and rushed through the uneven battlefield, and then

The path was blocked by a young man who staggered to his feet, but still vigilantly holding his rifle in his hand, pointing at her suspicious figure.

"Hey, stop who you are"

Liu Quan braked sharply and stopped in front of the man.

No, she didn't know this person. Moreover, judging from this person's aura, he is not Saito Ichi.

Ryuzumi paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized that he didn't have the buff blessing of the advanced disguise technique now, and he looked like a young woman in men's clothes, so in the middle of the night, when even the entire Aizu Castle was desperate and unable to come to the rescue of the Shinsengumi who were stuck here, what kind of person would pass through the battlefield full of artillery and appear in the almost ruins of Nyoraido

"I'm here to support you. She paused, and said in a steady voice, with a certain powerful and irrefutable momentum in her tone.

"Take me to Yamaguchi-kun. ”

The young man stared at her in disbelief. Before he could figure out whether to do what the young woman had said, take her to their captain, or continue to be vigilant and interrogated, he heard a voice behind him.

"What's going on, Arai"

The young man's shoulders shook suddenly, and then he seemed to be immediately filled with an inexplicable momentum, and his shoulders straightened. The rifle in his hand was still firmly pointed at Liu Quan, but his tone seemed to be relieved of the heavy pressure that had been disturbed by doubt and vigilance like a frightened bird, and there was a hint of joy.

"Captain"

Ryuzumi raised his head suddenly, looking past the young man known as "Arai" to the young man in an officer's uniform who walked behind him.

The young man had a slightly elongated face, unsmiling, and a serious expression, and he had a pair of gloomy and deep eyes, but when he raised his eyes to examine the other, his eyes were quite bright and insightful, and for a moment people felt the horror of being gently scraped through the skin and skeleton by the shiny blade.

This person is the person with whom she once fought to the death on the street outside the house during the day on June 5 in the first year of the Genji era.

It's the real Shinsengumi leader of the third group.,Saito Ichiah.。

Looking at the sharp and scrutinizing eyes, Liu Quan secretly took a deep breath, suppressed all the emotions and thoughts in his heart, and smiled slightly.

"Captain Yamaguchi. She said.

At this time in history, Saito had gone under the pseudonym Jiro Yamaguchi, and Yanagizumi certainly couldn't go wrong on such a crucial issue.

Saito's gaze rested on her face coldly, as if by the moonlight and the occasional cannon fire not far away, he could see for the first time that the person who was talking to his squad was a young woman, and his gaze could not help but fluctuate slightly.

He seemed to think about it for a moment before he said in a stern and cold tone, "I am." So, who are you and why are you here at such a moment?"

His gaze slightly off her face, and swept back over the people she had brought, as if counting two young men and three teenagers in his heart, this wonderful combination looked a little suspicious, and he couldn't help but slowly frown, and his expression became colder.

However, the young woman standing in front of him was not at all weak-hearted, nor did she avoid his sharp scrutiny, but looked directly into his face with a frank and surprising attitude, and replied frankly, "I was originally a member of the women's team. ”

Saito didn't seem to immediately accept her claim.

"The women's team," he said slowly, repeating her words slowly, "rude, but I don't remember that there are members like you in the women's team." ”

The young woman opposite seemed to be more composed than him, and in the night, in the face of such questioning, the corners of her lips curled slightly.

"You probably don't know me, but you must remember the Iwaki Kashiya in Osaka. ”

Behind her, the mourning gods who were mistaken for little teenagers had their eyes almost turned into mosquito coils.

Although they have lived in this world for an extremely long time as swords, it is impossible for them to know everything in the world.

Only Hakata, who was barely able to guess through his previous experience with businessmen

However, in the next moment, their inquisitor automatically gave the answer.

"Iwaki Tsuiya is a gofu house located on the side of the Koryo Bridge in Osaka. At the beginning, a group of unscrupulous ronins broke into the place and forcibly extorted money from the boss, but when we were desperate, it was the gentlemen of the Shinsengumi who rushed in and saved us."

Saito's eyes suddenly flashed with light.

And with the flash of light, the young woman in front of her, in a tone with some emotion and reminiscence, said something that surprised him.

"Maybe you didn't know, I was there that day"

She slowly dragged out her last note, and her gaze grew deeper.

"I've always wanted to repay the kindness of the Shinsengumi. ”

The young man surnamed "Arai" next to him heard such a bizarre story, and although it was between fierce battles, he still couldn't help his curiosity and excitement, and interjected, "Eh, is it the daughter of that Wufuya, but how did you come to Aizu?"

Perhaps this was also a question in Saito's mind, so he just moved his eyes slightly, and did not immediately speak to stop Arai's somewhat rude interjection.

In the face of this kind of rude question, the young woman in front of them smiled a little ambiguously, and did not refuse to answer, but lowered her eyes slightly, showing a little gloom.

"Because I married a man whose hometown is in Aizu, when I first met, he just said that it was just this kind of time, since he had learned some skills, he was going to go outside to wander around, so he followed him back to his hometown;

A thin mist appeared in her big bright eyes, as if choked in her throat by the sudden grief, and she could not continue.

Arai didn't dare to ask any more. Even his captain didn't seem to expect the ins and outs to be like this, and coughed awkwardly.

And the teenagers standing behind her didn't seem to have heard such an amazing story, and their eyes widened in surprise when they heard it.

Saito coughed again and changed the subject, a little uncomfortably.

"Ahem, so, you joined the women's team"

The young woman in front of her heard his question and raised her gaze to look at him again. Only then did he realize that her eyes were extremely clear, and in the night she looked like a deep pool of silver waves on the water under the moonlight.

"Yes. She replied.

Saito's gaze briefly averted from her, glancing twice at the man standing behind her.

"So, those people are," he asked.

Hearing his question, she didn't answer it immediately, but smiled ambiguously.

"Yamaguchi-kun must know in his heart that there are no more troops in Aizu Castle at this moment who can come to support," she said.

Saito replied with a solemn face, "It's natural. We didn't expect the current Aizu to send another precious force to support us, and when we decided to stay, we decided to fight for Aizu, even if we died."

Then he saw the young woman and smiled again. On the battlefield where the occasional sound of gunfire was heard, yes, they had withstood another wave of the Sa's army before that, and now it was probably a brief adjustment and calm before the next wave of attacks, and the corners of her lips seemed so untimely and overly noticeable.

"That's why we felt compelled to be here. She said, with an unmistakable force in her calm tone.

"I, and these people, I tried my best to find people in Aizu Castle who would like to come with me."

Her bright eyes fell on his face, which had been tarnished by artillery bombardment and hand-to-hand combat, and his uniform was stained with blood, which was really not a good appearance.

"There's not much I can do, but if you'll allow me to fight with you, then I'll be repaying the kindness that the Shinsengumi have done me. ”

He heard her speak aloud, without a hint of hesitation in her voice. Her gaze was clear and unwavering, and for a moment it almost made him smile bitterly.

At the end of his life, he never imagined that he would receive such unexpected support.

Although for some reason he always vaguely felt that her face was a little familiar, as if he had seen it before, somewhere, but now was not a good time to get to the bottom of it. What's more, they really have nothing to do with the calculations of others, even enemies.

Even if she and those she brought with her were really enemies, it didn't matter. In fact, even if those chiefs didn't send any disguised spies or undercover agents, they wouldn't be able to sustain themselves until this time tomorrow.

If you come to the hall, sooner or later, you will fall into the hands of the enemy. Just as sooner or later, the entire Aizu domain would fall to the enemy. One day sooner or one day later will not change the end result.

However, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that he is not fighting for his convictions. Whether everything he has done today is worthy of what he has always trusted and pursued, and whether he will regret or regret it when he thinks about it every day

And, unexpectedly, in this mortal situation, there are still people who are willing to come to his aid, who are willing to respect the beliefs he upholds, and who are willing to risk their lives and all their lives for the sake of the words of the Shinsengumi, and fight bravely and fearlessly

He curled the corners of his lips silently, feeling that his face, which had been stiffened by the long and hard battle and the constant parting with his companions along the way, suddenly showed some signs of relaxation.

He nodded to her, motioning for her to come along, and before turning back to the trenches they were guarding, he asked again, "What shall I call you, then?"

Strangely, after hearing such a simple question, she did not answer it immediately.

The pause seemed to last a little longer, so long that he had to stop, turn around, and look at her a little strangely.

Then, he saw her face and slowly unfolded a big smile. In this murderous, dark night, the smile was so bright that it was almost blinding, and he had to squint his eyes slightly.

"Kazuo Shinoda. He heard her say that.

"My name is Kazuo Shinoda. ”
