"Senior..." Heiziye hesitated, "I can still fight, at least let me stay!"
"Don't ask me to repeat myself. If you disobey the order, I will personally send you to hell, and the same goes for everyone else." Jiang Cheng said sternly, "I will leave the task of escorting them away to you. Hurry up, there is not much time. .”
In the end, under Jiang Cheng's coercion, some people, including Hei Ziye, had to leave reluctantly. All you can do is try your best to survive, because this is... This is an order, Jiang Cheng's last order.
"The remaining people come with me. We will buy them time. If we can survive, we will support Gintoki and the others!" Jiang Cheng said standing in front of the remaining people.
Jiang Cheng and the rest of the people knew that perhaps this should be the final battle, but no one was afraid. Everyone stared at the battlefield not far away as if they were dead. That will be everyone's final destination.
Teacher, I wonder if I will see you again... Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at the sky and sighed secretly.
the next day…
Wearing a hat and black clothes, he has a tattoo of a crow on his body. Jiang Cheng will never forget this kind of person in his life. These people have a unified name: [Naraku]. However, such a group of Nailuo people are now standing on a high place, looking down at Jiang Cheng, who is alone and fighting in the sea of people below.
Takasugi and Katsura had been captured and pinned to the ground by all the Narakus. Gintoki was standing among the Narakus with his head lowered and a sword in his hand.
In front of Takasugi and Gui is Songyang, whom everyone has been longing for. Songyang's hands were tied behind his back, and he was kneeling on the ground with his head lowered, facing away from Gao Shan and the others.
"His body has reached its limit a long time ago. Mutated Night Rabbit, a pathetic clan." Hao sighed as he looked at Jiang Cheng who was still fighting below.
At the same time, Jiang Cheng had already noticed the people high up, realized his situation with Gintoki and the others, and had also seen Songyang a long time ago.
wait for me! teacher! Jiang Cheng kept waving the weapon in his hand, and every blow would take away the life of one or several enemy soldiers.
However, Jiang Cheng could feel that his body was protesting, every cell in his body was screaming, and the fatigue suppressed by Jiang Cheng was constantly eroding Jiang Cheng's spirit.
Now Jiang Cheng is no longer just fighting the enemy, he is also fighting his own body and his own will...
"This is just a trap. In fact, no matter which direction you run, you can't escape. This war is over." Wu Ruo said pointedly.
"You have a weak soul!" Gao Shan cursed while lying on the ground.
"This farce should be over." Long glanced at Jiang Cheng below who was about to kill all the enemies, and then said softly.
...Finally, all the enemies have been killed, and finally, the teacher can be reached again, Jiang Cheng thought at this time, but Jiang Cheng's body no longer allowed him to make any movements. At this time, Jiang Cheng was covered with wounds. The enemy's blood plus his own blood turned Jiang Cheng into a bloody man. Jiang Cheng's consciousness began to blur, and even his breathing became extremely heavy.
"You can still fight one against a thousand in this state. After all, you are worthy of being a night rabbit." After Hao finished speaking, a group of Narakus jumped directly. Their target was Jiang Cheng at this time.
As expected, Jiang Cheng was knocked down, and now Jiang Cheng has no power to fight back. Jiang Cheng was tied up by a group of Narakus and taken to a high place. Jiang Cheng was thrown heavily to the ground, beside Gui and Takasugi.
"Old...teacher." Jiang Cheng tried his best to open his eyes wide and murmured as he looked at Songyang, who was only a few meters away from him.
"Finally, everyone is here. It's so sad that young people who care about the country have to accept such a fate," the old man in black cloak and hat in front of Songyang said, "This Is this what you are determined to do? Songyang, the children you once taught died worthless under your teachings. Now do you want to say this [don’t remember that you have taught them this way]?”
"Then you might as well give it a try and see if your disciples are willing to die with you and go to hell together. Or... choose the path of killing the master with your own hands in order to survive."
After saying that, Gintoki was pushed forward by the enemy and pushed behind Songyang.
"No... no, Gintoki." Jiang Cheng's voice was already very weak.
But just as Jiang Cheng spoke out, a Naraku member kicked Jiang Cheng on the back.
Jiang Cheng was in pain and vomited a large mouthful of blood.
"Jiang Cheng!" Gao Shan wanted to stand up but was held down tightly. Gui was in the same situation.
"Choose a mentor or a partner, it's up to you to choose either." The old man continued.
Jiang Cheng was horrified to find that Gintoki raised his sword.
"No... don't..." Jiang Cheng bit his lower lip desperately, hoping for more pain to bring some stimulation to his tired body.
"No... don't!" Takasugi shouted loudly, "Please! Gintoki!"
But the next moment, Gintoki dropped the sword in his hand. At a certain moment before, Jiang Cheng saw it, and Songyang looked back at him and smiled.
The last scene Jiang Cheng saw before he fell asleep was that Gao Shan stood up and rushed over with an angry roar...
"Gintoki!" Takasugi rushed over, but at this time, Hao threw out a dagger and rushed straight towards Takasugi.
The dagger pierced Gao Shan's left eye, and Gao Shan fell to the ground. A crowd of Narakus instantly surrounded Gao Shan, who had lost an eye.
"Don't waste the lives your mentor saved for you anymore," Hao said.
"Are you really going to let this group of people go home?" The older man continued, "Are you trying to sympathize with that man, Hazy?"
Hearing this, he glanced at the four Songyang disciples, "These people have lost the last thing they can protect. For them, it is equivalent to death, not to mention the destruction caused by their own weakness, and There is no value in killing without mercy, and there is no possibility of holding a sword again in the future.”
No one spoke, whether it was Gintoki standing with his head lowered, Katsura gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, or Takasugi lying on his back.
When Jiang Cheng woke up again, he found himself lying in a room with bandages all over his body.
Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi all sat aside without saying a word. Takasugi's left eye was also wrapped in gauze.
Jiang Cheng remembered everything that happened that day. Jiang Cheng endured the pain in his body and stood up. Without any hesitation, he pulled out the sword at hand and pointed it at Gintoki.
"You..." Gui raised his hand to stop him.
But in the end, Jiang Cheng did nothing because Jiang Cheng recalled the last smile Songyang showed. Jiang Cheng knew that if it were him, he might make the same choice as Gintoki. If you want to ask why, it's because like Gintoki, he is a student of Songyang.
Jiang Cheng dropped the sword in his hand on the ground, put on his clothes, picked up his umbrella, turned around and walked out without looking back. Throughout the whole process, Jiang Cheng didn't say a word.
The wind blew the clothes and hair of the four people. The four people stood in front of a high hill. This was the place where Song Yang was executed. A small tomb stood in front of them. None of the four people spoke. That was it. Look at the tomb quietly. Perhaps for the four of them, including Songyang, everything of the four of them was buried there.
"Let's go and finally build a tomb for those lost companions." Jiang Cheng said and turned around and left.
One day later, the four of them erected countless tombs, all for their lost companions. Swords were erected on each tomb. The four of them stood in silence in front of countless tombs for a long time.
In the end, as if they had agreed, at a certain moment the four of them left in four different directions without looking back. Until the end, no one spoke.
What is slightly different from others is that Jiang Cheng has abandoned his sword.
Jiang Cheng held up an umbrella, although it wasn't raining.
Jiang Chengcai finally understood that this war might be meaningless. In the end, he not only lost countless companions, but also lost Songyang. He failed to abide by the agreement with Song Yang, which led to the death of countless companions. It was himself who harmed countless companions and Song Yang.
Jiang Cheng continued to walk aimlessly, and suddenly a familiar voice sounded...
"Senior Jiang Cheng." Hei Ziye's voice came, and Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked over.
The person in front of Jiang Cheng was the group of friends he had forced away before. There were more than thirty people standing in front of him. Seeing them, Jiang Cheng suddenly felt a sore nose. Perhaps, in the end, he had nothing to protect.
"Lord Jiang Cheng!" Everyone shouted.
"What are you doing here?" Jiang Cheng suddenly choked up.
"We all know what happened, and we want to follow Mr. Jiang Cheng again!" One person said, and then everyone started to agree.
"From now on, I am no longer your commander, and you are free." Jiang Cheng shook his head and said.
"but… "
"There is no but, that [Jiang Cheng] who is your commander is dead! What is in front of you now is just a poor guy who is lost in life again." Jiang Cheng continued to walk forward as he spoke, and everyone was silent The ground made way for Jiang Cheng, "But whether it's the dead [Jiang Cheng] or me, the poor guy, I hope you can live well. This is the common wish of both of us."
Everyone looked at Jiang Cheng's back holding an umbrella and walking further and further away, and couldn't let go for a long time.
"Senior! Arigado!" Heizi Ye shouted behind Jiang Cheng and bowed deeply towards the leaving Jiang Cheng.
Seeing this, the others followed suit.
Jiang Cheng finally shed tears as he listened to the voice coming from behind. However, Jiang Cheng did not look back. Jiang Cheng was afraid that if he turned around, the former [Jiang Cheng] might be resurrected...
In this way, the war against the foreigners finally ended...
"Goodbye, [Jiang Cheng]." Jiang Cheng said softly to himself...
