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

Prince BAKA from Yang Guoxing and the accompanying guards were closely guarded. Yu Gongcui and the old fellow who had already roughly guessed the next move met. When the idea of ​​​​"exchanging hostages" was mentioned, the four people exchanged eyes and faces. Excitement and apprehension can't be concealed.

"Exchanging the prince of heaven and man for Teacher Songyang, the shogunate will most likely agree, but it is conceivable that the ensuing revenge will be very violent."

Yu Gongcui briefly mentioned the pros and cons without explaining too much.

These are things that everyone knows well, and more importantly, they have no choice.

Teacher Songyang must be rescued. If they were afraid of the price to be paid, the students would not choose to go to the battlefield.Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, where is the reason to back down?

Confirming that the beliefs of the partners are still as firm and unshakable as before, Yu Gongcui tapped the table with the fingertips of her index finger rhythmically, making a gentle sound.

"Then, let's discuss the specific process."

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

Walking out of the tent after the meeting, Yu Gongcui was stunned by the first sight she saw.

The young celestial being tied up into rice dumplings was lying on the grass and struggling to wriggle, while Kurishima Matako stepped on the former's back ferociously in the shape of a yaksha, her right hand firmly grasping the antennae on the head of His Royal Highness, Grinning his teeth, he pulled back forcefully, trying to use all his strength to make the little fat man turn his head.

This is not acceptable.

After all, you are almost standing on him, no matter how strong you are, you can only fold him in half.

The little girl Youzi, who was working hard, noticed the sudden appearance of the male god, she immediately smiled, raised her right hand and waved vigorously in this direction, her whole body was full of vitality.

"Master Yugong!"

In stark contrast to her joyful cry, was the miserable scream of the little fat man in the grass.

"Ahhh!!! My charm point! My charm point has been ripped off!!"

"It's so noisy! How can a mudskipper like you have that kind of thing! - Hey, what is this?"

Jiao Didi's expression became fierce for a second, and she clenched her fist and punched the chubby little fat man on the head, only to find that she was holding something strange in her hand.

The smooth tentacles with small balls at the end look very familiar.As for where I saw it, it seems...

Matako Kurishima's gaze slowly moved to the top of Tenjin's head who claimed to be the prince, and after serious thinking, she squatted down and carefully tried to insert the parts in her hand back to where they should be.

- With a clatter, it fell to the ground.

"Isn't this no different from an ordinary bald fat man? Bastard!! What Yang Guoxing's BAKA prince is just a fat man whose head is as smooth as the bottom of a pot, is that all?!"

"Isn't that because you took away my prince's charm point? You stinky monkey! And Prince HATA, Prince HATA! Even if you are unfortunately captured, show me some respect!"

Yu Gongcui, who was ringing in his ears, was powerless by the yelling and scolding of the elementary school students on both sides, but he felt that Youzi was right about one thing.

Without the tentacles, Prince BAKA, who was originally so ugly and cute that people could tell he was a heavenly man, suddenly lost his recognition. He looked like a bald little fat man with a strange complexion.

If you just pull him to exchange hostages with the shogunate, will the other party really not suspect it?

So he also walked over, squatted down and carefully poked the charm point that fell in the grass, and then pondered for two seconds.

"...You son, bring the glue."

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

Ten minutes later, Prince HATA, who was covered in dust, was sitting on a small bench in the tent, his black eyes as small as beans rolled up hard, and after seeing the familiar figure of Charm Point, he was moved to sniff his nose and almost burst into tears Eyes filled.

"Thank you, big brother with glue." He choked up and said, "This trip to the earth, you are the only good person I met!"

The corner of Yugong Cui's mouth twitched, and she responded without thinking.

"You know there's a war going on here, why would you come here for a tour? Does your family care about you?"

"Uncle came with me, the one who was caught with me!"

The chubby celestial being sat obediently on the small bench, answering all questions like a kid in a kindergarten without reservation, "Because my uncle told me that there are many cute little animals on the earth, and I think maybe I can be one of them." I found my favorite pet, so I sneaked onto the battleship."

"Here, uncle? Does he not like you very much?"

"Ah, how do you know!" The young celestial man looked surprised, "Although he planned to leave me on the earth and fly the spaceship back by himself, my uncle said it was to satisfy my desire to get along with cute pets, which is the so-called pride. So cute~"

Tired?

You said that Uncle Tianren, who looks exactly like a bald office worker who is about to die from overwork, hugged Takasugi's thigh and cried loudly when he was caught, "Take the idiot prince away and don't kill me, I'm just a small person"?

Tired of rubbing here and there? !Kowtow and apologize to all the tsundere families in the world, bastard!

Listen well, the so-called tsundere should be like the standard sample Shinsuke Takasugi, clearly——

——The too-fluid mental complaints suddenly got stuck.

Can't exactly describe the emotion after the dash.

Thinking about it a little more, it seems absurd.

【Why did I suddenly think of that guy? 】

The silly little celestial being looked at Yu Gongcui, whose expression suddenly became unnatural, with extremely pure eyes. After struggling for a while, he still couldn't help whispering: "Are you okay?"

After getting a negative answer, he continued to ask questions repeatedly.

"I heard that rude child call you 'Master', are you in charge? If you can send me back to Yangguo Star, I will definitely let my father reward you well, and you will gain my prince's friendship!"

"We didn't intend to hurt you, and we will send you back to the shogunate later."

Yugong Cui avoided the serious, and replied in a flat tone, "But whether it's ordinary soldiers or ordinary people, they are all hostile to heaven and man, so you have to stay with me, obediently don't run around, understand?"

The people who contacted the shogunate had already set off. Since they had the hostages on their side, of course they had the initiative to formulate a prisoner exchange plan.

Only one person from the shogunate was allowed to take Mr. Songyang to the nearby plain three days later, and the handover began at noon.

Before that, the barbarians would search the surrounding area of ​​the plain. If they found signs of an ambush, it would be deemed that the shogunate refused to agree to the conditions, and they would directly shoot the hostages and inform Yang Guoxing of what the shogunate had done.

Scaring Prince BAKA so that he nodded like a chicken pecking rice, Amamiya Cui looked at this stupid kid who had no sense of achievement, but was thinking about more detailed things in his mind.

How should the anti-barbarian team arrange for those who are responsible for escorting the hostages and bringing back Teacher Songyang?

The large troops should retreat quickly after making sure that there is no ambush around them, otherwise they are likely to be desperately retaliated by the shogunate army who is waiting for the opportunity to bite their tails.Yu Gongcui's plan is to break it up into pieces, let the team members go back to their hometowns, and lie low-key for a while.

Led by Sakamoto Tatsuma, those people also gradually realized that it is meaningless to fight with heaven and man, and it will only waste the lives of their companions in vain.

But suffering from inertia, it is impossible to make changes for a while.Maybe you can take this opportunity to plan your future path.

——When the teacher comes back, he must be able to guide the confused students, right?

Yu Gongcui's eyes softened a little, she got up and left the tent, still leaving His Royal Highness who started crying and howling to Youzi to guard, while she went to the edge of the station to find Takasugi.

"The shogunate will agree to our conditions. They dare not joke about the life of Prince Yang Guoxing. As for the escort of the prisoners, how about letting your ghost army go?"

The other party immediately understood what he meant: "The small number of people makes it easy to hide their whereabouts, isn't it?"

"That's one thing. The most important thing is the guarantee of force." Yu Gongcui asked half-jokingly, "I heard that you competed with Ah Yin again. How about the outcome?"

"...One hundred and three wins, one hundred and four losses."

He gritted his teeth obviously unwillingly, and his expression was more determined to challenge an even-matched opponent, "Next time I will definitely win!"

"After picking up the teacher and calling again, he must be very happy to see you so energetic."

Yu Gongcui didn't tell him to pay attention to conserving his strength and not to get injured accidentally. For the grown-up teenager, this seemed to be a different kind of distrust.

All the things that should be explained have been explained, and he was just about to turn around and leave when he was stopped by a low and hasty call.

"emerald!"

"Ok?"

Somewhat unexpectedly, he stopped and looked at the dark green eyes that drifted inexplicably and stirred with inner emotional unease.

"I still have things to do, and there are still details to deal with in the next step. If there is nothing to do—"

"...Do you want to consider being my deputy, Cui?"

As if throwing some kind of bomb, Takasugi Shinsuke threw the request that was still brewing in the past with a posture that was very different from the usual, almost bitter and bitter, and he dared not look at it from the beginning to the end. each other's eyes.

"'Deputy'?"

Subconsciously repeated it.Gradually realized that this position is not placed in the anti-barbarian team, but should refer to the ghost army team with Takasugi as the captain.

However, aren't the ghost soldiers and Takasugi himself obediently under his control?

"So, you want to separate the ghost soldiers from the current team?"

"Huh? No, I don't have that idea at the moment—"

Amamiya Tsui shrugged, acquiescing that the other party "is an excellent young man who has already matured", and the idea disappeared immediately, and even reached out to pat Takasugi on the shoulder, making the latter confused.

"Since there is no one, it doesn't really make any difference whether I accept the title of deputy or not."

The ending sound is slightly raised, it seems playful and meaningful, "Aren't they all the people you want to listen to?"

He didn't think the other party didn't understand this.

However, the fact before his eyes was that after realizing that the straightforward invitation had been declined, Takasugi's expression was like waking up from a dream, and he gradually returned to his usual reliable calm.

"...That's right. I was the one who was abrupt."

Although that attitude is open-minded, in the final analysis, it doesn't seem to be indifferent.

Not even having time to savor the slight disappointment in it, Yu Gongcui clicked her tongue softly, feeling a little dissatisfied with this person who gave up and left the field so readily.

"That's it? How about your sincerity?"

He withdrew his hand on Takasugi's shoulder, folded his arms around his chest, and added with a smile.

"It's just a deputy, and I didn't say no."
