Gao Lao bent down, supported the ground with both hands, changed into a cold and serious expression, and continued to shout:
"Master Yiqiao! It is true that the Mito army is useless, but we still have 2,000 dead soldiers! And the direct participants who volunteered to participate in the war!"
"It's still far from being able to tie a jade face!"
"It is still unknown who will win to death!"
"As long as we grit our teeth and give it a try, we will have a chance to win!"
"Now, which side can hold on!"
After Gao Lao stood up, the shorts, fat men and thin men were following each other and urged Yiqiao Qingxi to continue fighting:
"Sir Yiqiao, please think twice!"
"If you continue to fight, you may not necessarily win; but if you surrender now, you will definitely lose!"
"Sir Yiqiao, you will not turn back when you open the bow! Now, there is no reason to give up halfway!"
People outside can always hear the conversation in the room.
Therefore, whether it was Yiqiao's negative remarks or Gao Lao and others' arguments, everyone outside could hear them clearly.
At this time, they didn't care about any etiquette, and suddenly pulled open the door, rushed back to the room, and knelt in front of Yiqiao Qingxi.
In an instant, shouts and crying sounded.
"Sir Yiqiao, please cheer up!"
"We haven't lost yet!"
"I would rather die than surrender to the 'Nanji Sect'!"
"Wuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwuwu, please listen to our words."
"Master Yiqiao, please think of Duke Zhao of Qi! If Duke Zhao of Qi is alive, he will never want to see you bow down to the "Nan Ji Sect"!"
"Master Yiqiao, how can we imitate Cao Shuang back then?"
After Cao Shuang, Sima Yi launched the "Gaopingling Incident", Cao Shuang was not without the strength to fight back.
In fact, if Cao Shuang had fought to the death, she would have had the chance to kill Sima Yi.
However, he believed Sima Yi's "Luo Shui farts" and obediently put down his weapons and surrendered.
Later, Cao Shuang was slaughtered by Sima Yi for treason and was killed in three tribes, resulting in a funny and sad ending.
“…”
Yiqiao kept silent for a long time, allowing Gao Lao and others to chat.
I saw his brows frowning tighter and tighter, and his hands clenched into fists, as if he was enduring something.
About 5 minutes later, Gao Lao and others gradually calmed down.
They are waiting for Yiqiao's reply.
A bunch of pitiful and praying eyes focused on Yiqiao Qingxi.
Of course, more people - such as Gao Lao - cast a very strong look at Yiqiao Qingxi.
Such eyes looked like a blade - it seemed like a bridge was celebrating with a knife.
Another moment of silence.
Finally, under the eager expectation of everyone, Yiqiao Qingxi spoke:
"...You all talked about this, what else can I do? Then continue to fight as you said."
As soon as these words were spoken, Gao Lao and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.
Compliments such as "One Bridge of Lords and Lords" and "Our Army will win" all rushed to Yi Bridge's ears.
Unexpectedly, Ichihashi's words have not been finished.
He suddenly changed into a meaningful tone and followed the words quietly:
"Fight, fight, fight until the winner is completely decided..."
...
...
It's night—
Edo Castle, Mianomaru, a certain room—
Slap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap...
Qingdeng heard the familiar footsteps.
The sound of the footsteps came straight towards him from far to near...
Qingdeng slowly opened his eyes and looked in the sound before his vision recovered.
The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of slender feet wrapped in white socks.
Qingdeng turned his head as soon as he turned his head, but the pair of feet on his back were fixed on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, he heard the voice of Tianzhangyuan:
"Sorry, did I disturb you?"
Tianzhangyuan sat apologetically beside Qingdeng.
"It's okay. Since I can hear your footsteps, it means I should almost wake up."
He said, while supporting the ground with his hands, crawling out of the bed with a little difficulty.
I didn't realize something was strange just now, but after sitting up, he suddenly felt dizzy... His consciousness became dull, and he seemed to have lost even his memory.
Of course, this "amnesia" is only temporary.
In a moment, memories will surge like a tide.
After defeating the Mito Army, he gathered his troops and retreated to Edo Castle.
If the combat power is sufficient, Qingdeng is very happy to wipe out the remaining enemy troops in the town.
Although the Mito Army's large forces were successfully defeated, there were definitely a few remaining bandits stranded in Edo Town.
What a pity, whether it is he or the Iron Cavalry of Aijin, he is already at the end of his strength. He is even reluctant to sit on the horse and is really powerless to continue fighting.
After returning to Edo Castle, Aoden immediately informed the entire army: the Mito army was completely destroyed! Our side won a great victory!
How can such a good news that can influence the situation of the war be made without being widely publicized?
Qingdeng entrusted this task to Tianzhangyuan.
Tianzhangyuan, which has been in charge of the new Yuting Banner for many years, is a good player in "public opinion war".
Qingdeng has only one requirement: make sure that both the enemy and the other side know that the Mito army with three thousand soldiers has disappeared from this world! The "Yiqiao Sect" no longer has obvious advantages!
After handling this series of work, Qingdeng could no longer hold on.
He half staggered and half floating back to Miannomaru's room, and fell asleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, his consciousness fell into deep chaos.
He could not remember what happened next.
In the true sense, "sleeping like dying".
At this time, the red lips of Tianzhangyuan opened again:
"Sheng Qing, won't you sleep for a while?"
Her beautiful eyes revealed strong concern and a faint worry.
Qingdeng smiled slightly and shook his head:
"No, I've already slept enough. Even if I want to sleep now, I can't sleep anymore."
He said, rubbing his face and erased the last bit of sleepiness.
Then, he turned his head and looked out the window and watched the sky.
The dark night is at the sight.
Tonight is a cloudy day, with neither bright moon nor stars.
"Your Highness, how long have I slept?"
Tianzhangyuan looked down at the pocket watch:
“It’s been nearly 4 hours.”
Qing Deng was secretly surprised when he heard this number.
Since he has the talent of "Sleeping God", he has rarely slept for so long.
I slept for 8 hours... It can be seen how tired he was.
With the blessing of talents such as "Strong Spirit +5" and "Lock Blood +7", Qingdeng's recovery speed has been very fast.
But even after sleeping for 4 hours, he still felt muscle aches, his head was dizzy, and his whole body couldn't lift it.
Qingdeng lowered his head, touched the muscles in his chest, and thought to himself:
——Fortunately… the wound did not crack…
It is not difficult to guess that the reason why his body is so tired is definitely the cost of launching the "Intentional Demon Child" and the "Reversal Dragon" at the same time.
Although after being integrated with the "Innate Selfless Holy Body + 7", the burden on the former on the body is greatly reduced, it is only "reduced" in the end, rather than completely disappearing.
Not to mention the "Reversal Dragon". How could this talent that can exert its vitality to the limit without having a huge impact on the body?
Facing the three thousand troops alone, galloping wildly, not only did not die, but the wounds did not crack. It was a blessing in disgrace... No, it was already a miracle!
Tianzhangyuan looked at Qing Deng who was looking at her body, as if she suddenly remembered something and smiled bitterly:
"Doctor Northern is very angry."
"Doctor Northern? What's wrong with him?"
The bitterness on her face became even heavier.
"The patients that Northern doctors dislike the most are the troublesome patients who do not listen to doctor's advice, so after hearing about your deeds, he was very angry. Of course, in my opinion, he was not really angry, at most he just felt helpless. He must also know that the situation at that time no longer allowed you to take care of your own body."
After hearing this, Qingdeng murmured with shame:
"From the results, I did ignore Mr. Bei's doctor's advice. When I have time, I will apologize to him."
After saying that, he raised his face slightly, raised his ears and listened carefully.
There was no shouting of killing... It seemed that the battle was over.
"Your Highness, what is the current situation of the battle?"
Seeing the topic begin, Tianzhangyuan also sorted out his expression and said in an orderly manner:
"After you fell asleep, the situation of the battle did not change significantly."
"The rebels are still attacking Akasaka Mimen."
"Thanks to the heroic battles of Captain Harada, Deputy Captain Matsuhara and other soldiers, our army successfully defended its position."
"After darkness, the rebels terminated their offensive and retreated westward, stationed in Nobucho, a mile west of Akasaka Mimon."
[Note·1 mile of the Edo period≈3.924 km]
"It seems that the complete collapse of the Mito army did not make Keiki Ichihashi and others abandon their ambitions. They still want to fight to trap beasts."
Qingdeng listened carefully and nodded gently from time to time.
"In this way... It's enough if the 'thirty-six' is not lost. As long as the 'thirty-six' is not lost, our army will be able to take the initiative."
Tianzhangyuan pursed his lips and changed into a joking tone:
"What a pity, I thought about the miserable defeat of the Mito army. Maybe it would make Keiki Ichihashi and others desperate, and then put down their weapons and surrender."
"Now it seems that my thoughts are still too naive."
"Oh, it would be great if they could surrender quickly."
Qing Deng laughed silently when he heard this:
"If this is the case, it would be great. What a pity, this is just a beautiful luxury after all."
Both of them are big figures in the shogunate, both experienced the officialdom and the cruelty of politics.
Therefore, both of them knew very well that the "Yiqiao Sect" would never give up!
The battle between the "Nanji School" and the "Ichihashi School" is not the personal battle between Tokugawa Ishiki and Ichihashi Keiki, but the struggle between the two major political groups! It will never be diverted by a person's will!
Simply put, this war will never stop just by saying it.
The "Yiqiao Sect" gathered a large number of conservative ministers.
They were unable to adapt to the new era and hated advanced ideas deeply, so they hugged each other closely and kept warm with each other - a brand new interest group, political group, was born.
In the final analysis, it is for the word "profit".
Whether it is against the "Nanji faction" or the current brazen coup, it is all for the sake of more benefits.
Qingdeng secretly guessed: Whether Yiqiao Qingxi really wants to launch a military coup is probably an unknown.
Ichihashi Keiki is different from him, and their sources of power are completely different.
He relied on his real military achievements to gradually become the noble king who was the Yu family of Baishi Family Lu.
Whenever there was a war, he never cowarded and always charged forward.
In terms of merit and courage, nothing can be convinced.
Therefore, whether in the new selection group or in the "Nanji School", he has the right authority.
There are very few people who are qualified to sing against him.
It is not the case if a bridge celebrates joy.
He can have his current status entirely due to the family's protection.
He has neither the ability to overcome the world nor the convincing and outstanding achievements.
How to convince people of this kind of "wasteful"?
It was just driven by the times that he entered the center of the vortex of the times.
The members of the "Yiqiao Sect" need a qualified leader to decorate the storefront, and Yiqiao Qingxi is the most perfect object, which is why he is promoted to the leader of the party.
If Ichihashi can follow their wishes, it would be better.
If Ichihashi dares to go against them... then they have many ways to make him "change his mind".
It's like "yellow robe" - this yellow robe is not something you don't want to wear without wearing it? If you don't wear this yellow robe, where does our glory and wealth come from? If you don't want to wear it, then change to someone who wants to wear it.
Qingdeng thought again: Maybe after learning about the "Mito Army's retreat", Kiyoshi Ichihashi already had the idea of ​​surrendering, but he was already on the fire and could not help but continue to advance the war according to the will of his subordinates.
To sum up, when the "Death Soldiers Legion" of the "Ibashi Sect" attacked Akasaka Mimon, the ending was already destined - the war would never end until either side was completely defeated, or the exchange of interests between the two sides reached a balance!
At this time, Tianzhangyuan sank his eyelids, half-closed his eyes, and sighed silently.
"This battle...has to last for a while..."
Qingdeng nodded gently to show his agreement.
Just as he wanted to express his voice, he suddenly felt a heavy object pressing on his right shoulder.
"Your Highness…?"
He turned his head and looked at Tianzhangyuan leaning on his right shoulder in surprise.
Tianzhangyuan bent down and used his forehead to press Qingdeng's shoulders - this scene is just like the scene during the day today.
Because Tianzhangyuan buried her face in Qingdeng's right shoulder, she could not see the expression she carved from Qingdeng's perspective.
He could only hear the other party whisper:
"After hearing you say you want to fight off the Mito Army, I was a little negative... I was afraid that you would not come back..."
Upon hearing this, Qingdeng seemed to be amused and chuckled "ha":
"You know, no matter when, I will be victorious."
"Well, I know...I've always known..."
Tianzhangyuan said while burying his face deeper:
"Thank you...you saved us..."
Qingdeng still had a calm tone:
"There is nothing to thank for. We have been grasshoppers on a rope."
"I will suffer if Edo Castle falls."
"So, saving you is saving myself."
"not to mention……"
Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped.
Chapter completed!
