[Thin Sakura Ghost] Tongqi

***General's Trust***

Turning into a hidden alley, Tufang Suisan reined in his horse.He turned around and went down, then picked me up again.

Clothes were torn and blood was everywhere.He frowned and stared at me, feeling dizzy again.

"Your injury." He supported me.

"I'm fine." I shook my head, and when I lowered my head again, the long hair that hung down had returned to its original color, "Those injuries have all healed."

"It's too messy!" Hijikata Toshizo scolded in a low voice, "Raksha is not without weaknesses!"

I know... I know what happens when you're attacked to the heart.Biting his lip, crossing his hands like a punished child, but for some reason, there is a sweet feeling in his heart?

His eyes suddenly fell on Hijikata Toshizo's left arm, the blood dripping down from his arm, gathered on his left hand, and condensed on his fingertips, falling drop by drop into the soil In the middle, exudes a sweet taste.

"Are you injured?" I immediately grabbed his arm, causing him to grit his teeth and frown.

"Sorry." I quickly let go, tore off a piece of clothing from my body and tied it on the top of his arm, "You...did you use this hand to pull me on the horse?"

"En." Hijikata Toshisan replied.

A sense of sourness welled up in my heart, and I jumped violently.Pulling me on the horse and reining in the reins, he didn't care about the wound on his hand at all.I leaned forward and stood on tiptoe.

Lips pressed against his.

The scalding temperature made me jump back like an electric shock, and I stared at him with a smirk: "Thank you."

Hijikata Toshisan's cheeks were flushed, he turned around and coughed lightly with his hands behind his back, "No...it's not a big deal."

"Tch." I imitated his appearance, pretended to be sarcastic, walked over and circled his right hand, "I'll take you to the general."

There were still blood stains on the tattered clothes, which were definitely conspicuous enough. I sneaked two sets of bathrobes from the bathhouse and put them on Hijikata Toshizo and myself, and rushed to the hotel where the general was.

When I entered the store, I went directly to the second floor, and heard crying inside the house before I entered the house.

With a thump in my heart, Toshizo Hijikata and I looked at each other and rushed into the house, and saw the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground crying, and the broken water bottle and bright red liquid on the tatami.

"What's wrong?!" I stepped forward and grabbed the shop owner's skirt in two or three steps.

The shop owner pointed to the broken bottle on the ground, then glanced at the increasingly pale Tokugawa Iemo, and burst into tears.My head went blank, staring at Tokugawa Iemo lying motionless on the ground, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Tong." Hijikata Toshizan's call pulled my consciousness back, he held my shoulder, "Where is another bottle of water?"

"No more." I felt my mouth trembling, and my teeth knocked together to make a slight sound.My finger points to the debris on the ground, "There's only one bottle left."

The hot and humid wind blows against my cheeks, and Tokugawa Iemo's slightly loose hair floats.

"Did you see any suspicious people walking this way?!"

"No, sir."

"Go away! Let's go in and search!"

There were chaotic footsteps downstairs, I just felt cold all over, and I didn't know how to deal with it.

"How long can it be delayed?"

I came back to my senses and saw Hijikata Toshizo squatting beside Tokugawa Ieshige, looking up and asking the shop owner, "How much time can I buy for the General?"

"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated, "It's hard to say..."

will die?I fell to the ground and buried my head in with my curled up legs. It was because of my recklessness that I killed him. If this plan had not been implemented, Iemo Tokugawa would still be in the hall, the supreme general.

"I killed him." I murmured.

"Idiot." The elbow was pulled up, Hijikata Toshizo pulled me up from the ground, "It's not over yet, cheer me up!"

"Without change like water, how can we save the general."

"Being like water is not the only way." Toshizo Hijikata held my hand tightly, "Although that thing can save lives, you should understand the pain it brings."

Looking at him, his eyes are unfathomable.Indeed, the pain of being changed into water, the isolation, is like an iceberg in the sea, and there is far more hidden under it than revealed.

"But other than that, I can't think of any other way."

"You stay here to guard the general." Hijikata Toshisan put on a faint smile on his pale face, and he stretched out his hand to brush the long hair around my ear, "Leave the rest to me."

There seemed to be something supporting me behind my back, and I stood up straight, as if I had taken a reassurance.Turning to look at the general, his heart heaved slowly and hard, I took Hijikata Toshizo's hand: "Leave this to me."

Hijikata Toshizo nodded and walked towards the main entrance.I grabbed him and motioned to the owner to take him to the side door.

"I told you, leave it to me." I smiled.

Hijikata Toshisan frowned: "Don't force yourself."

"There's no sunshine here, hurry up and go!"

"Sir, just listen to this girl." The shop owner pushed Hijikata Toshizo, "General, the situation is very unstable."

After hearing what the owner said, Hijikata Toshizo threw something to me, "Keep it." He turned and left after speaking.

I spread out my palm, and a copper coin tied with a red string lay quietly in my hand.This thing... reminds me of the scene where Kuou came to Yagi House to return this thing, is it an important thing for Hijikata Toshizo?

Putting the copper money into my belt, I carefully moved Iemo Tokugawa into the closet. Even though the wound was tightly bandaged, the bleeding started again in the process.

"Sorry, General."

I hastily sorted out the bloodstains and glass shards in the house.At the same time, the officers and soldiers below, who had been entangled by the store personnel for a while, seemed to be getting closer.

I rushed into the closet in a flash, and I lay beside the general, ready to move.Once those guys break in and find us, I'll have to fight it out.

"Dear... son." A pair of cold hands caressed my cheeks, "Am I... dreaming?"

"Master General, I am Ishikawa Tong." I replied softly, "You will be able to see your Imperial Palace in a short time."

"It's... you." Tokugawa Iemo closed his slightly opened eyes again, his voice was so weak that he could barely hear, "Sure enough, I believe you... nothing wrong."

My lord general... my heart is pierced like a knife, I can't, I can't live up to his trust.

The sound of chaotic footsteps filled the room, and the door of the closet was pulled open.

"it's here!"

I pulled out the knife, and the strength I never had before erupted from my heart, and I kicked the door of the closet flying, "Is it all here?"

"Find the traitor..." The man fell to the ground before finishing his sentence.

The blade was stained with blood, and I stopped between Tokugawa Jiashige and the officers and soldiers, waving the knife and laughing.
