How did the good of order become the confidant of the villain? !

The atmosphere became more anxious and depressing day by day, and everyone was vaguely aware of the coming storm.

Therefore, when the black-clothed people who called themselves [Amaterasu-in Naraku] broke into the village school, took Yoshida Shoyo away with a clear goal, and then burned the school building that had been painstakingly expanded over the years, Amamiya Sui just stood silently in the hedge Outside, behind him was a group of crying children who were terrified because they had lost their shelter.

His black eyes reflected the flames of the sky, and under the night sky that was almost rendered red, the figure of the young man in a light-colored kimono was surrounded by a group of men in black, and gradually moved away without stopping, and finally disappeared .

——The "Gentle Prison" where people with lofty ideals were imprisoned has begun.

After Naluo left, the nearby villagers finally mustered up the courage to go out of the house and spontaneously picked up pots and pans to help put out the fire.

Yu Gongcui thanked them for their kindness, but for an old wooden structure, it makes no difference whether it is saved or not when it burns to this extent.

Anyway, there are no other buildings nearby, and when the sun rises, everything that can be burnt will be burned, and the fire will reduce and extinguish by itself, leaving a dark ruin.

He entrusted the sobbing children to the villagers one by one, hoping that they could help provide them with food and lodging for a few days. As for the future destination, he had to wait for the students who had gone out to come back to discuss separately.

After accepting the reward from Yugong Cuisai with a little embarrassment, the attitude of those entrusted families agreed much more happily.

After all, the world is difficult now, even if it is only for two or three days, having an extra mouth is not a small burden.

The villagers each led one or two children back, looking back at the still burning fire from time to time.And Yu Gongcui, whose small treasury has shrunk a lot, still stands at the same place, a little farther away from the hedge that has been dried and withered by the heat wave, her gaze gradually becomes unfocused due to the scattered thoughts.

[Everyone's path is like this, and no one can make choices for others. 】

[If this is the way of a teacher... under the banner of "for your own good", but in fact, you can't get used to losing and want to continue to rely on it, so you just intervene rashly, is this behavior really reasonable? 】

The answer to this question is not so important in the face of the powerless reality brought about by the strong style of the shogunate.

So Yu Gongcui was only in a daze for a while, and then shifted her attention to more important matters.

"Wait until Ah Yin and the others come back," he murmured softly, unconsciously flicking his curled up index finger, "this look is really hard to explain."

--------------------------------

For the four sons of Matsushita who have nowhere to go, joining the anti-barbarian group has become the only choice.

If you want to take revenge on the shogunate and take back the teacher, this is also the fastest way - although you are still young, but in the opinion of those three people, you will soon be able to pull up a team and fight Tianren on the frontal battlefield Shine bright.

Yu Gongcui, who originally had no intention of mixing with the barbarian patriots from the beginning to the end, took two steps back and returned to the passionate trio who had just passed by.

"Are you going to lead troops into battle?"

"That's right. It's time for Teacher Songyang to use what Teacher Songyang taught!"

Compared with when he was a child, Takasugi Shinsuke's face faded from childishness, and it fits more and more with the man in Amamiya Tsui's memory, and at the same time, he has the unique high-spirited look of a teenager.

Like a piece of uncooked jade that is gradually revealing its light, although it has not fully grown, it is enough to attract everyone's attention.

The dark green eyes are clear due to the sunlight falling in, thorough and firm, without the slightest bit of confusion or confusion.

Yu Gongcui and him looked at each other, suddenly lost the thought of persuasion, but sighed silently after a long time.

"It's very dangerous-you don't need me to tell you, so I won't talk too much. In short, be careful."

"You seem to be worried about Obasang because your daughter went to a social club after school, Cui." A Yin picked his nostrils and casually interrupted his rare lyricism, "Besides, you should be more careful than us, right?" ?”

Yugong Cui was startled, and subconsciously said: "But I don't plan to—?"

"What are you talking about, Cuijiang?" Tianranjuan blocked his words with white eyes, and said the fallacy loudly, "If the fourth son of Matsushita is missing one, can he still be called the fourth son of Matsushita? Think about it, if in the future One day we overthrew the evil shogunate and rescued the weak Mr. Songyang, and those two guys and I became famous warriors, but you, the fourth son, actually sold sweet potatoes on the street, so even if Ah Yin became a general It will also feel very faceless!"

"...I think it would be more suitable for Ah Yin to do a down-to-earth job like selling sweet potatoes."

Before her brain could react, Yu Gongcui found that she had already habitually hit Yinshi's head hard with her hands, hitting the little friend who couldn't spit out ivory with a groan, and squatted on the ground with her head in her arms.

Gui let out a series of coughs to hide his laughter, leaned over and patted Sakata Gintoki's shoulder pretending to be sympathetic.

"The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, swords and guns have no eyes, and Takasugi always fights desperately. If no one coordinates the overall situation, the battle situation is really hard to imagine."

He seems to be talking to himself, but he is actually very loud and pretending to be emotional.

"Hey, we don't know our colleagues well enough, maybe we will be treated coldly or isolated. It's too miserable, it's really too miserable, what do you think of Takasugi?"

Suddenly being cueed by Shinsuke Takasugi... Shinsuke Takasugi had a stiff expression, turned his neck away, and let out an awkward "hmm" from deep in his throat.

As if to cover up something, the purple-haired boy hastily added a sentence.

"I, we are all here, but as a classmate, I have to avoid it, it's too strange!"

It seems reasonable.

Yu Gongcui, who refused to admit that she was very shaken, pursed her lips and remained silent for a while, and finally opened her mouth with some hesitation.

"The so-called 'road', whether it's yours or Mr. Songyang's, if I intervene, does it really matter?"

Shinsuke Takasugi raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, unabashedly surprised.

"Where does this doubt come from? That should be something that should be constantly revised as we grow older and broaden our horizons, and it is only natural to change. You never realized that you are also part of that plan? "

"……is that so."

He lowered his eyelashes and looked at the fine dust floating in the air, but what came to mind was the village school that gradually collapsed in the raging flames before Teacher Songyang was taken away.

The invisible heat wave engulfed sparks and rushed outwards, making people's cheeks start to burn.

That's where he lived for several years.

Practicing swords with Ah Yin, bumping into Takasugi unexpectedly at the corner, discovering the treasures of Gui from the bed, and in the vegetable field behind the house, there are several prosperous bean vines that Mr. Songyang will water from time to time.

But now, all that remains is a patch of ashes and the cries of children.

【——Teacher’s path is wrong. 】

It was so natural that I was surprised, this thought came to my mind like a fish's bubbles, causing a small ripple.

The miserable scene that the deputy teacher did not see, if he told the truth, he would definitely change his mind.

As a student, Amamiya Tsui was finally convinced of her responsibilities.

Feeling suddenly enlightened, he raised his head, smiled and stretched out his hand to the three people who were waiting for him to make a decision.

"Then, let us work together to get back the teacher."

-------------------------------

Two years have passed since the Great Prison of Kuanzheng, and the battlefield against Heaven and Man is still in full swing.If we talk about the biggest change, besides the long-established veterans represented by "Bai Kuo Bu Xi Xiang", there are quite a few quite active new faces.

Among them, Sakata Gintoki, who is the most famous, has already been given the title of "White Yasha" because of his blood-covered stance.

For Yu Gongcui, who rarely participated in frontal battles, his biggest change was his unshakable cognition of "cold weapons should always call hot weapons father" on the spiritual level——

Ever since I saw a few classmates who grew up together and practiced swords together casually use samurai/swords to block the rain of bullets, and even split the roaring shells in half, the clouds are so light and the wind is so light that it seems that Made of plasticine, Yu Gongcui's ravaged/ravaged worldview shattered into pieces and fell to the ground, and when it was picked up and glued together, it became much tougher.

They were all taught by the same teacher, and he was sure that except for the lack of strength, the moves were exactly the same.

Why can't he do things like chopping bullets with a knife? ? ?Could it be that an overly scientific worldview limited his performance?

Later, when Ah Yin showed his supernatural power by chance and split a small spaceship with a small blade several feet long, Yu Gongcui was powerless to be jealous and completely numb.

This is no longer a matter of talent, these guys must have sneaked to the next door to learn the swastika without him behind their backs! !

Amamiya Emerald, who was far pulled down by the other three of Matsushita's four sons in terms of force value, shed tears. From then on, she always put on a proud face of disdain for swords in front of outsiders. This technique propped up the appearance, so that he would not really fall into the miserable situation that A Yin said that other people were leading the army and selling sweet potatoes by himself.

And as caring as Sakata Yinshi, he seems to have long forgotten Amamiya Cui's weak performance in kendo in the village school, and from time to time expresses jealousy of his shooting accuracy.

This is the tacit understanding of the young tame dye.

Yu Gongcui felt emotionally, during that time even the furry white head was knocked a little less.

As for direct communication with Takasugi, it was as rare as ever.

The other party is not a talkative person, and the intersection with Yu Gongcui, who sits in the rear and gives orders, is often a discussion and exchange before the battle begins.

Or when night fell, the two sides retreated separately, and the three of them retreated from the front line, exuding a pungent bloody smell, sitting quietly around the campfire, staring at the bubbling pot on the fire without blinking, Waiting for Yu Gongcui to cook the food.

But even with the lack of communication, with the two years of battles and victories, Shinsuke Takasugi's trust value began to rise steadily at an alarming rate.

When retreating, facing a large group of enemies who are chasing after them, they entrusted each other with swords and guns on their backs.

According to the information and tactics given by one party, attack in a timely manner, and never ask the other party whether the source of information is reliable.

The bandage wrapped neatly after the injury.Always have contingency plans in place.A place where you can sleep peacefully when you are exhausted.

As long as you know that there is that person here, even if you are not in sight, you will still feel a strong sense of security from the bottom of your heart.

When the scouts sent to explore the path returned to report the abnormality, Yu Gongcui was staring at the numbers on the counter in a daze.

【72】.

It has surpassed ordinary people's trust in their partners and is moving towards the next level.

The never-before-scored high score even made Yu Gongcui a little panicked.

He obviously didn't seem to have done anything, but was given this level of trust. Suddenly, the whole person unconsciously became cautious.

When the scout opened the curtain of the tent and entered the door, he had already put his expression back together, listening to the other party's respectful report with a calm attitude.

There was no abnormality in the pre-selected campsites, and there were no enemy ambushes along the way.Mentioning the noteworthy point, after a brief hesitation, the scout mentioned an irrelevant matter with some entanglement.

"In a small village along the way, an official of the shogunate planned to execute a child. His subordinates heard from the surrounding villagers that it seemed that the child's parents had offended that guy before his death, so..."

Yu Gongcui understood.

"You want me to save him?"

The half-kneeling man lowered his posture and said earnestly, "My child, my child is innocent after all."

"Then what else is there to say?" He sighed with a smile, and saw the other party raised his head in surprise, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to pass on the order. "The whole army is dispatched. If it is too late, it will be too late."

On the way for the team to move out of the camp and change their station, Yu Gongcui took some people to the nearby villages and towns. After a simple verification, he shot a hole in the forehead of the obese official.

Compared with the previous tragic war with Heaven and Man, this is simply an amateur relaxation that can be called entertainment.

The only thing that moved Yu Gongcui was when she hugged the shivering thin child from the execution platform. The latter's body was as thin as a piece of paper, almost weightless.

Skinny and slender arms wrapped around his neck, the child's voice was hoarse due to fear and excitement, and the other hand was tightly clutching the boy's skirt with all his might, for fear of being left behind again.

"Lai Dao Youzi...my name is Lai Dao Youzi."

She repeated it hard, staring longingly at the boy's inattentive dark eyes.The latter was busy tearing off the remaining rope on his body, hearing this, he just hummed lightly.

It turned out to be a girl.

Lai Dao, who didn't get a response, gasped again, and asked unwillingly, "What's your name?"

But the other party didn't answer, just passed the struggling child to the subordinate behind him, and did not forget to give a few instructions before leaving.

"Relocate, she can't stay here anymore. Send it to a nearby town and see if you can find someone to adopt."

"Yes, Master Yugong!"

And Laishima, who was suddenly abandoned, protested hoarsely, desperately punching/kicking the man who was holding her now, but the actual effect was only a slight pain like a cat scratching.

The subordinate who led the order had a bitter face amidst the ridicule of his colleagues, but he still carefully carried the exhausted little girl behind his back.

"You are a lucky child," he turned his head and told him, his simple features were a little solemn, "you must live a good life, and don't disappoint the adults."

-----------------------------------

a week later.

There is no plan to take the initiative to attack for the time being, and there is no encounter with the small army of heaven and man, which is a rare and stable time.

Takasugi and Gintoki went to meet their new allies, while Amamiya Tsui and Katsura Kotaro stayed behind to guard the garrison. They sat by the bonfire, one on the left and the other on the right, silently facing the bubbling soup pot.

In the end, it was Gui who broke the silence with a light cough, and asked the simple-looking man behind his little friend.

"Sanlang, hasn't that kid left yet?"

Saburo Hiraga scratched his head, not noticing Amamiya Tsui's slightly stiff expression, and answered the boss's question honestly.

"Yeah, I saw her next to the station this morning, and she seemed to have lost weight again. That child wanted to sneak in to see Lord Amamiya, but has been wandering around refusing to leave."

Katsura Kotaro blocked his mouth with his fist and cleared his throat very loudly, making Amamiya Tsui's face darker even when he knew that he was suppressing laughter.

"I didn't expect Yu Gong's charm to be so strong, I feel ashamed." After coughing, Gui began to talk flirtatiously, his handsome facial features were very deceptively upright, "It won't work to keep running away. Yes, the suggestions I put forward in similar situations are to face your own heart, throw away worldly prejudices and chase feelings—”

After Duang's loud noise, Gui Xiaotaro's forehead slowly swelled up, and the words in his mouth were corrected smoothly.

"What I mean is that it's not an option to hide all the time. You might as well meet that child and relieve her a little. We're going to fight in half a month. You don't want her to be stubborn enough to follow?"

Yu Gongcui flicked her sore fingers, and reluctantly accepted the suggestion.

"I really don't understand... There is no way, let her come over."

Seeing Matako Kurishima for the second time after a week, to be honest, Amamiya Cui was shocked.

She seemed to be thinner again, with hair that was like dry grass on top of her head, and a gust of wind could blow her away, but her expression was still as airy as the day she was rescued.

The moment he met his eyes, the child's eyes lit up, and he rushed towards this side: "Master Yugong!"

Yu Gongcui subconsciously caught the thin body that was panting rapidly. She really couldn't go against her conscience and started driving people away now. She always felt that she would starve to death in the wild immediately.

So he pressed Matako Laishima, who was so happy that bubbles were popping up, by his side, and gave her a bowl of stew from the pot in front of him.

"Eat slowly, be careful of the heat."

Youzi nodded vigorously while holding the bowl, blowing in small mouthfuls.But Yu Gongcui and Gui Xiaotaro, who showed a look of unbearable expression, looked at each other, and fell into silence again.

It's too inhumane to just drive people away like this, and the army is definitely not a place suitable for children to live in. The two think tanks are numb for a moment, and they can only try to throw the burden on the other's head with their eyes.

Just when Matako Laishima was about to finish hissing a small bowl of soup, accompanied by a unique "ah ha ha ha ha ha" laughter and a subtle sour smell, Takasugi and Ayin led the A young man whom he had never seen before came over.

He was a tall and slender man with short, thick brown hair, and was wearing a dark green feather kimono.

——"Dragon of Guibin" Sakamoto Tatsuma, everyone's new ally.

The mental outlook is quite cheerful, but for some reason, his face is bruised and purple, with some fresh scars.

And the expressions of the two leading the way in front were not right, they didn't see the slightest joy in their arms, and they even showed a trace of lovelessness, deliberately distanced themselves from the smiling young man behind them.

Amamiya Tsui hesitated to stand up to welcome the newcomers, but was grabbed by the corner of her clothes by the nervous Kashima Matako.Seeing this, Katsura Kotaro stood up without hesitation, took two steps, and held Sakamoto-kun's hands affectionately.

"Oh, you are the 'Dragon of Guibin', right? Like thunder, like thunder—"

On the other side, Yu Gongcui also raised her head and asked softly to the two who were about to bypass her and go straight into the tent.

"What's going on? Is there any accident on the road, is it a celestial being?"

"How should I put it, Ah Yin, I would rather fight with Heaven and Man." As if recalling something unbearable, the expression on Tianranjuan's face gradually became grim, "You don't even know, this bastard is seasick. !!!”

Ah, what happened to seasickness? Is it really necessary to discriminate against seasickness?

Yu Gongcui, who was full of bewilderment, was just about to continue to ask, when he heard a "vomit--" close at hand, the dragon of Guibin puffed out his chest and abdomen, and sprayed out a rainbow-shaped thing that needed to be mosaic , poured all over Gui Xiaotaro's skirt.

Yu Gongcui: "..."

Yu Gongcui: "I understand, you three quickly go to take a shower and change clothes for me, don't stay by my side!"

Matako Laishima let out a "Hey" and watched the three people with dark faces go away, and couldn't help but hugged the arm of the only one who didn't have a sour smell.

As expected of her destiny, it really exudes a unique fragrance.

Amamiya-sama is number one in the world!It's not the same as those stinky men!

Tatsuma Sakamoto sat very self-aware, far away from the pot, with his back to Emiya Tsui, retching a few times from time to time.Yu Gongcui asked someone to bring tea, he poured it down, let out a sigh of satisfaction, and seemed to have finally come back to life.

By the time the lucky few who were watered by the rainbow packed up and came back, the sun was already westward.

Everyone devoured the lunch or dinner. Although no one questioned the existence of Matako Kurishima, Amamiya Tsui explained briefly and mentioned that she planned to keep the child by her side for the time being.

At least gain some weight.

Except for Sakamoto Tatsuma, who had nothing to eat, sighed, "Nurtured! That's great!" and got Matako's eye knife, no one else had any objections.

He shaved his teeth while eating and drinking enough, leaned on the grass with one hand propped on his cheek, and lazily glanced at the dirty and thin kid.

"Who is usually responsible for taking care of him? Does Cui come in person? Could it be that this is the father's love that came early in a stressful environment, and Ah Yin really wants it——Youzi, do you want an older brother to accompany you to eat candy and drink?" The strawberry milk one?"

Amamiya Tsui's eyes flicked back and forth over a group of unreliable guys around, and then eliminated them one by one, and finally settled on the guard on duty today, Saburo Hiraga, who had no sense of presence when he was not speaking.

The latter belatedly raised his finger and pointed to his nose, looking a bit at a loss.

"Me? Yes, but... I don't have any experience in taking care of children..."

"It's not just you, I want to find some reliable people."

Amamiya Tsui tilted her head, looked at Shinsuke Takasugi who was maintaining his saber, and looked at the latter who subconsciously raised his eyes.

"Didn't Takasugi always want an exclusive personal guard? The one with excellent combat power and can keep up with your footsteps. After all, when you chase and kill the enemy, you always accept it when you don't know what to do. I am also very distressed."

It was only then that her emerald eyes glanced at Matako Kuroshima, and she understood that she wanted him to help take care of the child in the future, but compared to his dream team, it was not a big deal.

"Then let's start screening, and I will personally check."

"Have you figured out what to call it?"

"That's natural."

The corners of Takasugi's mouth turned up slightly, full of ambition that was bound to win.

"—Ghost Soldier Squad. The team I will lead is called Ghost Soldier Squad."
