Itaya and Liu Bang, and Tanaka.

Zhao, the main force of the rescue team was in a hurry to prepare itself.

Aiming for Xianyang, Qin's capital, another army, Liu's army finished its formation early and can leave anytime.

Hey, are you ready?

In the meantime, Liu Ban, who was supposed to be busy, came to visit me.

"Lord Liu Bun"

Liu was supposed to throw himself into a long and rugged battle, but it didn't make him feel that nervous.

“That's right, we're almost ready.”

"I see, then come early." I'm still waiting for you to ask me a lot of questions. "

You mean to say hello?

Do you think this may be the farewell of my life?

Well, it was going to be a tough fight.

“Okay, I'll be back to say hello.”

I'll be out as soon as you meet me.

I wish you all the best... As soon as we meet?

Hmm?

Hmm?

Tilt your necks toward each other in a conversation that doesn't bite.

However, Liu Ban immediately realized why he was eating the other way around, and he smiled bitterly and struck his hand.

"I see, I see. The decree hasn't arrived yet?"

Liu Ban scrapes his neck as one convinced.

Hmm?

Seems like you're in a hurry.

"Hmm, I only have a bad feeling..."

Liu Ban, who had a big hand on my shoulder, said with a wonderful and good smile.

I'm afraid of that smile.

"Tanaka, this way."

Which way is this?

Is that you?

No, I didn't hear that!

Am I marching west? I'm aiming for Sekiuchu!?

"No, it was a sudden story, but if I asked Fan Zheng's grandfather to accept it unexpectedly." He also talked to Lord Nogatsu and General Nogatsu. "

No, it's too soon!

"I told you before, I have a general, but there aren't many people who can use this place (...)"

Liu Ban said that and slapped his head with his finger.

It's a playful attitude, but I can see some sorrow.

The reason for this was the beautiful woman and man who were supposed to be next to Liu Bun.

Zhang Liang's absence.

When I visited Chu, I couldn't see him.

When I asked Liu about it,

A little bit.

I said with a lonely smile, and I couldn't hear any more.

On the contrary, it didn't seem like they were breaking up, but did they take different actions, or did they know that history had changed?

That's why Liu Biao is currently absent from the staff.

But instead, I'm a little, no, pretty big, and the load is heavy.

I'll crush you the moment I'm charged!

"I don't care if you take his place."

Did you read my thoughts? Liu Ban said so and rubbed my shoulders hard.

It hurts! I can crush it now!

Looking at me in pain, I smiled happily.

Isn't it better for you to keep your distance and almost cool?

With that said, I took my hand off my shoulder and twisted my eye.

It goes without saying who it is at a distance from.

Chu's next general in the army. Liu Ban also knows the roughness of the young General Meng.

"Ugh..."

That's how it hurts more than the pain in my shoulder...

It's not good to be there, but we may need time to talk calmly to each other.

Did Fan Zeng allow Liu to accompany him because of that consideration?

Besides, if I refuse to go west, I won't cover it.

Moreover, this expedition should determine Liu's prosperity.

If you can get involved there, the future of the Ashinoda clan may also change.

If so, it may not be a bad thing.

"It's definitely a harsh road..."

"Let's officially issue the order right away." Let's give up and go on a fun and enjoyable journey together. "

I don't think it's fun at all.

Liu Ban laughed with a sigh of relief at my giving up, but he changed the atmosphere and asked me in earnest at all times.

"Tanaka, what do you think of this selection?" Because Lord Nogatsu came off, and I was the only one chosen. "

"That's..."

I keep my mouth shut, but Liu Ban is silently waiting for his words.

The silence will last until it is answered.

I started talking with my choice of words.

"To do as little harm as possible to the people and to not damage the Chu army's reputation."

If the road to Sekiuchu was cut open by martial arts, Naowa would also have been chosen.

However, Nowa is already widely known as an object of fear, and it is said that if you run through it, there will be nothing left but footprints.

Even if the two of them were sent, it would be difficult for Liu to stop the feathers from their standpoint.

If you see Chu army and the people flee, the subsequent reign will be delayed.

That would be one of the factors that only Liu Ban was responsible for.

However, I was not convinced by this, and the silence continued.

"There are other things I can think of..."

Liu Ban turned his silence into a sarcastic smile and answered himself.

"I don't care if I die."

Liu is not the original general of Chu.

Although he is a competent general, Liu Ban, who has no ties to Chu Country, has little impact even if he throws away stones.

Liu Ban smiled abusively and asked me again with a serious look.

"Do you think I will arrive during the Seki period?" How do you think you can tread on the soil of Xianyang alive? "

"This is more than a question..."

I was caught by the unusual sneaky expression of Liu Ban, and I spelled my words sincerely.

"I wonder if there is an answer to the reason why you were chosen because you were not chosen." Don't you have the anxiety to jump into people's pockets? If you attack people's hearts and minds not only by martial arts, as in the case of Pu, the gates will be opened. "

Liu Biao listens to me slowly chewing my words.

"... I see. The world isn't just allies and enemies." Some people are wondering which way they're going to fall. "

After I told myself so, I slapped my mouth with a squeaky laugh.

In that case, I must expect a gorgeous grab-and-go drama from my lord as well as from my grandfather.

"I'm sorry to be beaten and fainted again. Please be someone else."

I returned it lightly to Liu Ban, who had returned to the usual shattered atmosphere.

I mean it.

Besides, Liu Ban rubbed his chin like he remembered something that distorted his mouth.

"By the way, it seems that there are lake bandits of all sizes." It seems that they are lurking around the boss's hometown, Shangyu, while slipping away from the officers. It would be easier if they were involved. "

I sighed at Liu Biao, saying that the rebels and the bandits are not much different now.

You're not the only one who gets caught up in this. I sympathize with the unknown thief. As a person involved and experienced.

"I wonder what the boss's name was." Oh, Peng (oh)... well, what can I tell you if I ask Tsubaki or Cao Ginseng? "

... that's a lake bandit you don't even know about, right?

I haven't heard from the lake thief I know, but I wonder if he's okay.

Well, it's a guy that gets caught easily.

They will come to collect it sooner or later.

"Then I'll leave as soon as the master rendezvous with us." When the order arrives, you should come as soon as you can carry your luggage. "

That's what Liu Ban and his government mistakenly came in.

That was the timing I was looking for.

I don't think I'll be able to rendezvous with Yokota, but there may be more I can do than follow my army.

While listening to the administrative voice that reads out the official's life, I explore the possibility that the asymmetry will be intertwined as I aim for Sekiuchu.

If Tian Heng can run away somewhere and enter Xianyang with Liu Ban...

After seeing off the official, I lightly slapped my cheek and went back to packing my things.
