I, Tsugumi Yuichiro, must do something

"Thanks for the hospitality."

Jiguo Yuanyi nodded slightly.

He sensed no ill will from Hill.

"In fact, Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi has been in the Imperial Capital Guard for so long that he should have learned a lot about the Empire's situation. The Empire no longer needs to be saved."

Hill took a rice ball from the plate in front of Ji Guoyuan and slowly began to eat it.

While eating, she slowly talked to Ji Guoyuan.

In fact, before meeting Ji Guoyuan, she had rehearsed these conversations several times.

"But compared to war."

“I cherish the hard-earned peace.”

Seeing Hill take a rice ball from his plate, Jigoku Yoshiichi naturally knew.

This was Hill's way of showing that there was no poison.

In fact, even if Hill didn't do this, he could still judge these things by whether Hill had malicious intentions.

In addition, after getting to know Ran, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi naturally understood much more about the current situation of the empire than before.

He was born in a war-torn place, so Ji Guoyuan knew how terrible war was.

So he doesn't want war to happen.

In addition, during this period, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also learned a lot about the Revolutionary Army.

He also found it hard to believe that the revolutionary army could gain support from other ethnic groups without paying any price.

Chapter 87: The real purpose, action under the cover of night

"Someone has to bear the pain, doesn't he?"

Hill did not try to argue with Ji Guoyuan. She ate and quietly explained her understanding.

As someone who was born in the slums, she actually has very little feelings towards the empire.

As she grew up, she experienced mostly the darkness and corruption of the empire.

In addition, she likes to be with the people in Night Raid. This makes her feel needed and finds some value in her existence in this world.

In her opinion, war may be cruel, but it is a path that can be changed and a path that can give people hope.

So even if some people die in the war, it still has value.

"Perhaps you are right."

"But... every life deserves respect."

Tsugikoku Yuichiro did not argue with Hill. His communication with Hill was more like an explanation of his own views.

That's it.

"Ah."

Hill nodded. She invited Yuichiro Tsuchiya over today, but she didn't expect to be able to convince Yuichiro Tsuchiya.

After all, everyone has something they insist on.

“Actually, I’m a very stupid person.”

“Even cooking is terrible.”

After thinking for a while, Hill looked out the window.

At this moment, there was nothing in the sky except the stars, and it was completely dark.

Soon she turned around and began to tell herself about her experiences since childhood.

Ji Guoyuan sat opposite and listened quietly.

From time to time, the chirping of katydids could be heard from outside the window, blending with Hill's quiet voice.

Such a scene.

This reminded Yuichiro Tsuchikuni of the time when he and his wife worked for a day.

Sitting around the small dining table, eating food.

Listening to the crackling sound of the pine oil lamp burning, the unique fragrance of pine trees filled the house.

The wife whispered some interesting things that happened after their child was born.

time flies.

It didn't take long for Hill to finish telling her story.

Seeing that Tsugikoku Yoriichi was in deep thought, she did not make a sound to disturb him, but sat quietly aside.

The candles in the room have burned out.

outside the window.

Under the originally pitch-black night sky.

In the far distance a fire began to light up.

Thick black smoke surged wildly against the backdrop of the fire.

Because the distance was too far, there was no way to hear any sound.

"finished?"

Ji Guoyuan looked into the distance, and with just one glance, he understood the main reason why Ye Xi suddenly invited him tonight.

It’s actually very simple, just get him out of the way.

If nothing unexpected happens, the night raid to snatch Brand's body has already begun, or even ended.

"Sorry, Brand is our partner."

"No matter what, we will not leave his body hanging on the pole like that."

Looking at the expressionless face of Yuichiro Tsugakuni, Hill lowered his head and apologized to Yuichiro Tsugakuni.

Tsugikuni Yoshiichi's strength is too strong, and there is no guarantee that the night attack will be able to retrieve Brand's body in his presence.

In fact, this action was not ordered by the revolutionary army.

The order given by the top leaders of the revolutionary army was to hold their ground and not move forward.

Therefore, this activity was completely a unilateral action by Hill, Mine, Akame, and Leona.

Even Najeshitan never knew about it.

"Goodbye."

Tsugumi Yuichiro finished the tea in his cup.

Then he stood up and left.

"Thank you."

Watching Yuichiro Tsugikoshi slowly leave with the little robot.

Close the door very gently.

Hill, sitting upright on the ground, whispered thank you.

She didn't bring any imperial tools with her today.

Before Yoshikazu Tsuchiya arrived, she had actually prepared for the possibility of being captured by Yoshikazu Tsuchiya.

In addition, Hill and the others did not expect to be able to hide the secret from Ji Guoyuan for long.

After all, although this place is not very close to where Brand's body is hanging, it is definitely not far away.

The chances of being discovered are high.

Fortunately, Yoriichi Tsugikuni did not show any extreme expression throughout the evening.

In the end, there was no hostility shown.

on the street.

Yoriichi Tsugikuni was riding on the little rabbit that had transformed into a mount.

He's very fast.

Head straight towards the central square.

After taking out the tracker, Ji Guoyuan could see that Sailiu, Shayou and others were also rushing to the scene like him.

central square.

It is located in the center of the imperial capital and very close to the imperial palace.

Before reaching the central square, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi saw a large number of troops surrounding that location.

After putting away his big rabbit mount, Ji Guoyuan began to walk towards the square.

"What...Mr. Tsugikoku Yoshiichi, please."

Seeing a stranger approaching, the soldiers guarding the area were about to yell.

However, after seeing the very recognizable face of Tsugakuni Yoshiichi, the leading soldier immediately ordered the soldiers to make way for Tsugakuni Yoshiichi.

Walking slowly forward, Ji Guoyuan arrived at a place closer to the inner circle.

The originally dark square was now illuminated by the burning braziers.

The air was filled with a burning smell, and corpses could be seen lying on the ground.

In the center, there is a circle of people wearing armor.

One of them was a tall man, standing out like a crane among a flock of chickens, and was particularly eye-catching.

Yoshiichi Tsugakuin also saw Esdeath's figure. Before Yoshiichi Tsugakuin could walk over, Esdeath had already walked towards where he was.

"You came."

"The people who attacked at night were here just now."

Esdeath stood in front of Tsugikuni Yoriichi. She looked at the spot where Brand's body had been hanging before and said with some regret, "That guy's body was turned to dust by those guys."

Originally, Esdeath wanted to use Brand's body to attract the people who attacked at night. Even if she couldn't catch them all, leaving a few people behind would be a good result.

But she didn't expect that the people who attacked at night also showed that they wanted to take away Brand's body.

But in the end, before their encirclement was fully formed.

A beam of light from the Romantic Fort of Maine turned Brand's body into dust.

The night raiders who came to snatch the corpses also broke through the encirclement and disappeared.

Undoubtedly, Esdeath was not satisfied with such a result. She had been busy for a long time but had not achieved the desired results.

Instead, it seemed like he was tricked by the night attackers.

"This is General Budd of the Empire, a stubborn old man."

After introducing what had just happened, Esdeath looked at General Bud who was walking towards her from a distance, and she introduced him to Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

Chapter 88: Esdeath's mumbling, selection of imperial weapon users

"Esdeath, please don't make such dangerous attempts near the palace in the future."

"The explosion here can be clearly heard inside the palace."

General Bud had a cold face. Because of the relationship between this place and the imperial palace, he quickly brought his men here after the explosion.

Looking at Esdeath, Bud frowned.

"I've heard of you, nice young man."

After expressing some dissatisfaction to Esdeath, Bud looked at Yoriichi Tsugikuni who was beside Esdeath. His tone was slightly softer than when he was talking to Esdeath just now.

"Ah."
