Shimomo, who followed Gintoki and ran forward through the corridor on the stone wall, was always staring at the fallen spaceship not far to the left with a complicated expression.
Maomao knew that Quan Zang was on that spaceship.
[Full collection...]
"Look ahead and run!"
As if he knew Shimomo was distracted, Gintoki shouted loudly without looking back.
"If you want to live a good life, just look ahead and run!"
"Is this... my battle as a general?" Maomao lowered his head and asked with complicated eyes, as if talking to himself, "Even if you step on the corpses of countless friends, do you still have to live for the common people of the world? Why did I become a general? For me, both Quanzang... and you... are the people I should firmly protect..."
"Young general..." Kagura, who was following Maomao, murmured.
"Momo, there are some answers that no one knows are right or wrong, you have to find them by yourself," Gintoki replied without looking back, "Don't run away, find the answer yourself. I... am not qualified to answer this kind of question, I …”
As he said that, Gintoki thought of those classmates in the original Matsushita Village School who were encouraged and dragged into the battlefield by him, and then Gintoki shook his head again.
"Anyway, believe him. Your good brother (Quan Zang) will not die. If you want to ask why, it's because he is accompanied by my brother (Xiao Yuan). Maomao, you will not die in this way. Local. If you want to ask why, it’s because you have a group of good brothers like us by your side!”
As he said that, Gintoki stopped and pulled out his wooden sword and looked at the two night rabbits in front of him seriously. At the same time, Kagura and Shinpachi also stopped and turned around, giving Maomao to Protecting the three people.
Attacking from both front and back, on the verge of breaking out...
On the other side, with the help of Xun and the others, Xiao Yuan secretly rescued Quanzang, who was almost out of energy, from the spaceship.
"It seems that I...we...failed to complete the mission." Quanzang, who was supported by the little ape, lowered his head and made an angry voice, "Although I was warned by that person in advance, it seems that the enemy is more powerful now. It was much more powerful than I imagined..."
"Fool, who told me in the first place, don't overestimate your capabilities?" Xiao Yuan complained in a low voice with a cry.
"Indeed... I really overestimated my capabilities this time," said Quanzang, letting go of the little ape and kneeling on the ground, "Sarutobi, it seems that I have to give you a ride in the end, I have already left. Stop moving...you go quickly...Sarutobi...A cat cannot be seen by others until it dies."
Looking at Quanzang with his head lowered and covered in blood, shaking and breathing disorderly, Xiao Yuan took Quanzang's left hand angrily, his voice trembling: "What are you talking about? Stand up quickly, run quickly, run quickly. Ah! Don’t you still have an unfinished mission?! Where are you going to leave us? Chief...you...you risked your lives to keep the general alive for so long and to protect the village, but..."
Saying that, Xiaozao leaned over and put Quanzang's left hand on his shoulder, lifting Quanzang up. "Isn't your real mission not complete yet? You have to go back alive... and you have to be with the general... Come with us... Return to Edo alive with everyone... This is the duty you should fulfill as a friend in front of the Imperial Court fans and in front of the general... "
Quanzang, who struggled to keep his eyes open, looked at the little ape whose tears had overflowed unconsciously, and was just silent.
…
On the other side, facing Yatsura who was chasing after him from both sides, Gintoki and others turned around and jumped from the air corridor at the same time.
Of course... this was just a cover-up. At the last second when he jumped down, while the Night Rabbits were dazed for a moment, Gintoki grabbed the pillar on the side with one hand, circled it with strength, and then smashed it down with the wooden sword in his right hand. Two night rabbits.
At the same time, Kagura, who was pretending to jump, also grabbed the edge of the corridor and stood up, kicking a Yatsura to the side.
Holding the general and sliding down the high stone wall with only a slight slope, Xin Baji suddenly noticed something. When he turned around, he saw two Yatsura swooping down with umbrellas in hand.
"Shinpachi..."
Gintoki, who was fighting with two Night Rabbits above, also noticed it. He was about to give a warning, but one of the Night Rabbits seized the opportunity and was pushed to the ground by his head.
At the same time, Kagura was also locked by the neck from behind by a Yatsura, unable to struggle.
[Sure enough, conventional tactics cannot deal with this kind of person...] Gintoki, who was pushed to the ground, thought to himself, [But... don't underestimate me! I have never lost a duel with that idiot (Jiang Cheng)!]
"Ah? Is that guy over there covered in injuries your captain?" Gintoki suddenly looked in a certain direction and said.
"Huh?" The Yatsura, who was holding Gintoki's head, looked in the direction Gintoki was looking at.
[Opportunity! ] Gintoki turned sideways to break free of Yatsura's hand, raised his foot and kicked Yatsura down. At the same time, Kagura on the side also found the right opportunity to push his head hard to break away, followed by a back blow. He threw the night rabbit down.
The remaining Yatsura was hit by Gintoki and Kagura as he was about to take action.
At the same time, the two Yatsura who were chasing Shinpachi were about to catch up with them, holding umbrellas held high, but they suddenly stopped and their abdomens were pierced by swords at the same time!
"Hey, you'd better be careful," Fourteen's voice sounded from behind the stone wall, "After all, there seem to be a lot of intruders in this village..."
"What a terrible trap." Kondo next to him took over.
Looking at the figures of Shishita and Kondo who were revealed from behind the rock wall, Shinpachi, who had already landed on the ground, exclaimed in surprise: "Hijikata-san! Kondo-san!"
But just after he finished speaking, Xin Baji suddenly discovered that the two ya rabbits who had been impaled were pointing the umbrellas in their hands at the general.
"Can you still move?!" Fourteen was surprised.
At this moment, the two Night Rabbits were suddenly knocked down by the corpses of three Night Rabbits. At the same time, Gintoki and Kagura, who rushed down, also waved their weapons.
"Ahhhh!!!"×2
A critical moment!
"Gin-san! Kagura-chan!" Looking at Gintoki and the two rushing down, Shinpachi hurriedly stepped forward.
"Yeah, yeah, loyal minister finally appears," Gintoki pulled out his wooden sword and glanced at Kondo and the two who had just come down with a smile, "You actually appeared from the trap, you are really leisurely and elegant."
"Not necessarily," Kondo said, turning back and looking up at the night rabbits crowded in the corridor above. "I feel like I can see light from the cracks in the rocks, but it seems that the light is far away."
Gintoki, who also looked at the past, murmured softly: "Okay, what should we do next..."
"Nothing can be done," Kondo said, raising his sword, "No matter who the opponent is, they will be killed if they don't strike first. That's all."
"It seems..." Shinbachi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Now we are the only ones who can protect the General... the last few loyal ministers."
"Don't be ridiculous," Fourteen, who was holding a cigarette and carrying a knife, curled his lips. "The last remaining people are exactly this lineup. I want to start over from the interview and select new people."
"I will return these words to you Aru intact." Kagura, whose face was already stained, also clenched the umbrella in her hand. "It would be better if I died fighting bloody battles to protect the general..."
"But we don't want to die with you!" The five people said at the same time.
At this time, the night rabbits in the sky also slightly raised the corners of their mouths in unison, and then...
Jump down!
"The opponent is Yato. If we fight them seriously, we have no chance of winning." Gintoki said.
Fourteen said disdainfully: "This is not like you. Don't you have no confidence before the fight starts?"
"Didn't you listen to me?" Gintoki replied casually, and then glanced at Kagura behind him who was gritting his teeth and holding up a very large stone. "I already said that if we fight them seriously, what do you think we should do? Are there any normal people here?”
After saying that, Kagura gritted his teeth and roared, throwing the huge rock in his hand out!
Boom!
The rocks that hit the rock wall directly hit several Night Rabbits!
"That's right." Fourteen followed Kondo and rushed forward. "Just a few people dare to go head-to-head with the Night Rabbits. They are no longer normal people."
Looking at Shizuo and Kondo who had killed a Yatsura, Gintoki glared with a lazy look on his face, "Well, that's right, they're just idiots."
"Who is an idiot! Bastard!" Fourteen turned around and yelled angrily with his veins popping out.
"Fighting while running away is the optimal solution? Don't be kidding me." Gintoki waved his hand with a look of disdain on his face, and then pointed the wooden sword in his hand straight at Kagura, "This is the optimal solution..."
"Huh?" Everyone was stunned at the same time, including Kagura who was pointed at by the wooden sword.
"Hey - can we call it a day for today?" Gintoki rubbed the back of his head and laughed naively, "Didn't the deputy captain just say something like that? This booger girl can't kill anything, then... if you guys continue If we rush forward, we will..."
With that said, Fourteen, Kondo and Shinpachi reacted and pointed their weapons at Kagura at the same time.
"Kill her..." The four grinned with the same treacherous expression.
"What kind of method is this! Bastard!!!" Veins popped up on Kagura's face instantly, "You spoke too quickly! You reacted too quickly! Am I a hostage?! Am I a hostage Aru ?!”
"Calm down, Kagura, this time your life is directly equivalent to the general's life." Gintoki comforted him seriously, "As long as your life is in our hands, they will not dare to act rashly. Calculated If so, your life is the general’s life!”
Kagura rolled her eyes and clenched her fists and said angrily: "What the hell is this conversion! I'm not that close to that idiot brother! He has inherited the universe-level scheming of that idiot uncle! Besides not killing me. You can do it all!”
