How come I, who has the physique of a succubus, was pushed back by the ship girl?

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou Xuan, I only saw you once when you came back yesterday, and I haven't seen you again since."

"What happened? Could it be that the Cleaner is missing? What should we do? Should we all look for her together?"

Shenxue was a little anxious about Zhou Xuan's worries, and without thinking too much, she suggested joining in and finding the purger together.

"No... no need, everyone just do your job, Kaga and I will do it well here, don't worry."

The little girl nodded, and finally calmed her emotions.

Regarding the places the Cleaner might go, and considering that she was a hidden foodie, Zhou Xuan finally decided to go to the cafeteria and try her luck.

"You mean the Clearer? The girl with the black dragon horns?"

As lolita, they both have their own way of thinking. Nowaki, like Miyuki, put her hand on her chin and thought carefully.

Although the result remains the same.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhou Xuan, Lord Kaga, Nobu always works as a handyman in the restaurant and rarely comes into contact with the outside world. I have never seen her come here, so I don't know her whereabouts."

In this way, the clue was broken again.

After leaving the restaurant, Zhou Xuan told Kaga all his thoughts.

"Since there was no sign of her having fought, I think she left the camp voluntarily."

"Escaped? Still."

"No, it won't." Zhou Xuan shook his head. He did not support Kaga's view.

"She and I have an agreement. We will go to the end together. She will not break her promise and leave without permission."

"People's hearts are fickle. Even if they have made a promise, they will always waver in the face of interests, right?"

"You are right. I don't deny this point of view, but she is the Clearer. She is someone I like. I believe in her! Just like I believe in all of you!"

Kaga was stunned. What she was thinking about at the moment was not the rebuttal about whether the Cleaner had betrayed or not, but what Zhou Xuan said.

He said that he liked the Clearers, so he chose to believe her, just as he believed in them. If you round it off, doesn't it mean that Zhou Xuan is also...

Do you like her?

A slight blush floated on her cheeks. For the first time, Kaga felt the feeling of blushing, and it looked not bad.

She smiled, then walked up to him boldly, took his hand, and said affirmatively.

"Maybe...she encountered something and had a reason to leave. We should believe her...just like..."

"You believe me like that."

Chapter 317: The world's number one killer with a weird personality

Long Feng was incompetent in his work and was defeated and captured. Thanks to the enemy's pity, he was later released. People who were defeated and guilty have no face to return to the court to meet Your Majesty.

Now that Izumo has rebelled, one-third of Sakura Empire has fallen into the rebels' territory. I beg the court to allow me to stay in Gunma Prefecture, to stay on the front line against the enemy, and to redeem myself for my crimes.

April 12, spring of the 28th year of Qinghe

"Are you really not going to think about it anymore and just refuse it outright? You know, this may be your last chance, Long Feng."

"There is nothing to think about. I was supposed to die. Now that I have a chance to live again, I must atone for my sins and wash away my mistakes."

"It seems that the man has left too deep an impression on you, but since you have made up your mind, I won't say anything more."

"I will submit your memorial to the central government. As for the outcome, it all depends on their decision."

"Thank you, Katsuragi."

When her name was suddenly mentioned, the girl named Katsuragi smiled, then patted her shoulder and comforted her.

"There's no need to be polite between you and me. I've arranged a room for you. If you need anything, feel free to contact me."

Long Feng nodded and walked out of the room, but did not go to the room she mentioned. Instead, he turned around and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion.

The street was bustling with activity. Pedestrians and vendors, represented by yellow chickens, passed by her one after another, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Don't you think this world is full of weirdness?"

"There is no one here, but you are trying to create a bustling scene. Even the soldiers and pedestrians are creatures that you cannot understand. Are you going to continue to ignore this problem?"

The scene brought back memories, and Zhou Xuan's voice echoed in her mind again, every word striking at her heart.

"Damn it! I've already escaped here, do you still want to influence me, Zhou Xuan?!"

The pedestrians on the street could not hear her roar, or perhaps, these so-called creatures did not care about her feelings at all. They just repeated their lives day after day like zombies.

Now, Long Feng felt more lonely, and the fear of being exposed for her strength kept seeping into her heart.

Finally, this mighty general who would rather die than surrender and who disregarded life and death, finally fled in panic.

She no longer had the desire to walk around and relax as before. She fled back to her room and did not go out for several days.

If it weren't for the smell of alcohol filling the air outside her house, Katsuragi would have really thought that Long Feng was no longer alive.

"Drink less. I remember you weren't very good at drinking, right? Why did you suddenly start drinking, and why did you keep drinking for several days?"

His face flushed by the alcohol and his vision blurred, Long Feng struggled to climb out of her arms, tilted his head, looked up at Katsuragi who was so close to him, and asked casually.

"Katsuragi....Have you ever doubted this world?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? This world is so beautiful, why should I doubt it for no reason?"

"Let me tell you first, you still owe me several meals. Don't think about it and just walk away. No way! Do you understand?"

Long Feng was stunned for a moment. It was obvious that Katsuragi had misunderstood what he meant.

After she realized it belatedly, she thought about what she had just said. As her mood improved slightly, she also sobered up a little.

At least when I speak, I don't have to stumble as much as before.

Katsuragi was quite satisfied, and took advantage of her rare moment of clarity to speak again.

"The court has received your request and they have agreed. This time, they have also sent another person to assist you in your work. Do you want to meet him?"

Long Feng remained silent, but gave her own answer, and then asked her subordinates to report it. The man soon came in front of Long Feng, which surprised her.

"I never expected that a general would hide in his room and drink alone. This really opened my eyes."

"Even though you lost the battle, you shouldn't be so frustrated, right? Drinking to drown your sorrows is really disappointing to me."

He had nothing nice to say and started pointing fingers at her as soon as he arrived, but the two of them couldn't say anything.

Firstly, it is a fact. Secondly, she is the number one killer under Musashi. It has nothing to do with her professionally, so there is no need to confront her.

"I didn't expect that Lord Musashi would actually send you, Kii."

"It's a bit of an overreaction for the court to simply deal with a young man from a foreign land."

"I think so too." Ji Yi spread his hands and agreed, then looked at the food that Longfeng had placed on the table and spoke excitedly.

"But never mind. Musashi said that once I complete the mission, he will have someone replicate the Manchu-Han Banquet at Donghuang for me."

"You know, I have been craving for the delicacies of that ancient country for a long time, so naturally I put in a lot of effort."

While speaking, Ji Yi grabbed the thigh of the roast chicken with his bare hands and tore off a large piece with a little force. The overall shape was similar to that of a scimitar.

"Well, the texture of the chicken is pretty good, tender and juicy, but the taste is not good. It is much different from what I had in Kyoto Prefecture. It is just average."

Cursing as soon as you put down your chopsticks and bowl probably refers to people like Ji Yi. Long Feng stared speechlessly at the girl who was eating voraciously in front of him, and even sobered up from the alcohol.

"Then give me back the chicken leg."

"Hey, sorry, I've already eaten it all. It's too late."

"Besides, Lord City Lord, eating a chicken leg of yours shouldn't bankrupt Gunma County, right?"

"Not really, not really." Katsuragi apologized with a smile. "If Master Kii needs more, I'll ask the kitchen to make it for you."

After wiping his hands with a cloth, Kii waved his hand, bluntly refusing.

"Forget it. If the taste is not good, it's useless. I'd better finish the task as soon as possible and go back to Musashi to fulfill my promise."

"Come to think of it, that one attracts me more."

When the topic of the mission came up again, Long Feng became nervous again. She couldn't say for whom, she just asked out of habit.

"What are you going to do?"

"It depends on the situation..." Ji Yi rolled his eyes, still a little confused.

"I haven't thought about it yet. We'll see when the time comes. Anyway, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do!"

She finally stopped being so carefree and generous. The moment she finished speaking, an unprecedented strong murderous aura instantly spread out.

The air that enveloped the dragon and phoenix room even spread outside, covering the entire City Lord's Mansion.

There was a sudden bustle of noise, and the soldiers on guard outside all rushed to the source and came to the outside of her room.

Only then did Kii put away his murderous intent, and Katsuragi, a civil servant, had enough space to evacuate the soldiers who had come to rescue him.

In an instant, Ryuho and Jii were the only ones left in the empty room.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't control my emotions for the moment. I was rude. Please don't blame me if I'm sorry." Ji Yi laughed and pretended to leave.

"If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave first."

Having said that, before leaving, she did not forget the broken roast chicken on the table. She reached out her hand and took away the plate as well.

Finally, he stopped at the door and said something.

"By the way, Musashi also asked you to cooperate with me and cooperate with my decapitation operation. If you have any good suggestions, you can tell me. I live in a room not far from you."

After saying that, Long Feng could no longer see her figure. He just felt angry and amused that the so-called number one killer in the world turned out to be such a hypocritical person.

But he couldn't help but feel worried. If he did that, Zhou Xuan... wouldn't have much time left to live...

Chapter 318: Long Feng’s Personal Opinion

The cleaner left without saying goodbye, and left quietly, without even leaving a letter.

She is a sensible person. She may be a little naughty, but she would never do such a thing.

Zhou Xuan guessed that the reason he left was that he had to do so.

In that case, he wouldn't spend too much energy worrying about her whereabouts. He could just do well in the present and try to see her again in the future.

So with great fanfare, when Akagi returned to his position, the army led by Zhou Xuan headed towards Kyoto Prefecture little by little.

The first to suffer was Fukushima Prefecture. In order to maintain a certain distance from the battle, the city was abandoned as early as when Izumo announced his surrender.

Only a few yellow chicken soldiers were left behind, and Zhou Xuan took the city in one fell swoop without any effort. In the process, he also cleared out the remaining soldiers in the surrounding area and expanded his team.

Then, they continued to move upwards towards Gunma Prefecture and were about to arrive at the city.

Because of Zhou Xuan's arrival, the mayor's mansion in Gunma County was not at peace at the moment. Everyone had their own opinions on whether to retreat or fight, and the argument continued for a while.

As a civilian official, Katsuragi obviously did not have the ability to suppress those arrogant soldiers and generals. Now, looking at his subordinates who were quarreling and chattering, he felt like his head was about to split open.

Birds of a feather flock together. Without even having time to sigh, she found the dragon and phoenix, who looked out of place in the crowd. In order to divert everyone's attention, she could only open her mouth wide and ask tentatively.

"Long Feng, the enemy is approaching the city soon. Do you have any ideas? I want to hear your opinion."

Putting his hands on the table, Long Feng tilted his head and answered with a slightly decadent look.

"According to the intelligence, Zhou Xuan arrived in Fukushima Prefecture yesterday, and today we received news that he will soon arrive in Gunma Prefecture."

"According to this calculation, it took Zhou Xuan less than half a day to capture Fukushima and several surrounding cities."

"With such strength and speed, there is no way out for us to resist stubbornly."

As if he was singing a bad omen, he stopped talking here and lowered his head as if he was sighing.

Boosting other people's morale will destroy your own prestige. All of a sudden, other people who were originally arguing have an outlet to vent.

Especially Feiying, who was almost outspoken and directly tore open her deep-seated scars.

"Humph! What's the matter, Master Longfeng, are you scared? Master Longfeng thinks that a bunch of mediocre people like me are not as good as your previous subordinates, so we are destined to lose, right?"

"That's true. I don't deny the difference in strength. The point is, although we are a little weak, at least we have never been captured by others, right?"

"Shut up! Feiying! You can discuss military intelligence, but I won't allow you to use hurtful words!" Katsuragi couldn't stand it anymore, so he spoke up immediately and stopped Feiying's behavior.

Although in her opinion, she didn't agree with it.

Her gaze was still aggressive, staring straight at Long Feng, as if trying to dig out her vulnerable side. At the same time, Kumano also spoke, she said.
