"Long live Nioh! Long live the Shinsengumi!"

"Lord Renwang! We must put an end to the rebellious officials and traitors in the capital!"

"Let the losers in Kyoto who only know how to apply powder and lipstick see how powerful Kanto men are!"

"Yes, that's right! On the battlefield of Guanyuan two hundred and fifty years ago, the warriors of Guandong were able to beat the rubbish from Gyeonggi and the Western Kingdom to the ground. Now our power can still scare them!"

…

[Note: Sekigahara Battlefield: The Battle of Sekigahara (1601), the battle for the Tokugawa family to dominate the world. In this battle, the Eastern Army defeated the Western Army in less than a day. 】

The warm greetings from the people of Edo raised the morale of the Shinsengumi soldiers to a higher level.

They either waved vigorously or shouted in response to the enthusiasm of the soldiers and the people.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Sanosuke Harada...the lively guy who likes the most liveliness, raised his hands above his head, waved them crosswise, and shouted enthusiastically, as if he was talking to his fans.

"Fathers and fellow citizens of Edo, just watch! We will definitely return in triumph!"

Taking advantage of the height advantage of sitting on the back of the cow, Qingdeng found many acquaintances on the roadsides on both sides.

"Hey! Everyone! Have a nice trip!"

Kondo Shusuke put his hands in front of his mouth, formed a simple trumpet, and shouted with all his strength.

Kondo Shusuke, Mrs. Abi, Kondo Isamu's wife Tsune, Hijikata Toshizo's sister, Hijikata Toshizo's brother-in-law Sato Hikoro, Tama's fellow villagers... these people have always been the most loyal supporters of the Shoeikan.

The young people they are most proud of are going to a foreign country to start a new journey. How can they not come to see them off?

Souji's sister, Hikaru Okita, and brother-in-law, Rintaro Okita, also came.

In order to see their sister off, they took the trouble to come all the way from Hino-juku.

"elder sister……"

Looking at his sister who was about to be separated and who didn't know when they would see each other again, Souji silently pursed his lips and his eyes flickered.

Okita Hikaru looked deeply at Souji for a moment, then raised his gaze and looked directly at Qingto, his red lips opening and closing as if comparing lip movements.

With good eyesight and the fact that the meaning of the words Okita Hikaru wanted to express was not complicated, Qingto quickly understood the meaning of the other person's mouth shape:

(Protect Xiaosi, please.)

Qingdeng suddenly had a stern look on his face.

He returned his gaze firmly and nodded vigorously.

Due to the restrictions of the occasion, he could not speak to others freely now, let alone jump off the back of a cow, but he believed that his meaning had been conveyed smoothly - because Okita Hikaru showed a gentle smile.

However, just for a moment, she switched to complicated eyes and glanced at Sanako and Kinoshita Mai who were guarding beside Qingteng... Qingteng quietly turned his head away, pretending not to see anything or not knowing anything.

Ah, by the way, the old servant of the Tachibana family, Kubei, who has been serving the Tachibana family for decades since the days of Takayuki Tachibana, is also in the farewell procession.

Kubei stood next to Kondo Shusuke, with mixed emotions on his old face, as if tears would flow down at any time.

Ever since he moved into the Imperial Guard Hall, the loyal and honest Kubei has been assisting Mrs. Abi, Miss Azuma and Genzaburo Inoue in taking care of all the chores in the Imperial Guard Hall.

As the status continues to rise, the "distance" between the master and the servant becomes wider and wider.

Kubei can't help Ayoto with his work and affairs.

And Qingdeng can no longer communicate and interact with each other as frequently as before.

However, Jiubeyi didn't care at all.

He worked diligently and tried his best to share Qingdeng's worries.

Even if Qingdeng temporarily neglected him due to his busy schedule, he never complained.

Qingto has always been deeply touched by Kubei's silent dedication.

Last night, he went out of his way to find her, and the two had a long chat.

At that time, Qingden took Jiubei's hand and thanked him in an extremely solemn and sincere tone, which moved the old servant to tears.

The hard work of traveling and traveling in this era is really hard work.

There are no smooth asphalt roads, only bumpy dirt roads, which are full of dust on sunny days and mud on rainy days.

Although there are a large number of campsites along the Tokaido where you can rest and there is no need to sleep in the wild, walking from Edo to Kyoto on just two legs is a great physical challenge.

Kubei was already quite old. He could no longer follow Aoto to Kyoto and could only stay in Edo.

After selling almost all his personal belongings, Qingden specially distributed 20 taels of gold to Jiubei, not only as a thank you for his years of hard work, but also as a pension for him to take care of himself in the future.

After all... after going to Kyoto, it would not be surprising no matter when or where he died.

Therefore, it is absolutely right to prepare your posthumous affairs in advance.

The procession keeps moving forward.

In order to see Aoto and others a few more times, Kondo Shusuke and his party went together.

After walking for a while, Qingdeng suddenly spotted three beautiful figures.

Three very familiar figures...

Please give me a monthly ticket! Please give me a recommendation vote! (Leopard Head Cries)

It's a pity that seals can't be ridden, and they can't charge on land. Otherwise, I would definitely design Qingdeng's mount to be a seal!

Yesterday's speech actually integrated the contents of three works: Shakespeare's "Henry V", the movie "Independence Day", and Pushkin's poem "To Chaadaev".
