Chapter 103: Feeding

  "I'll say it first, I don't need your consent to take you away. Female ghosts are precious, come with me." As he spoke, he walked step by step in front of me, revealing a proud and arrogant smile as he stretched out his hand towards me.

  My mouth twitched a few times, hey, Feng Jianqian Tongxie, haven't you heard that kidnapping people is not good? Don't think that just because you're the emperor's general I'll obediently follow you. I have my elders above (my stupid father) and my younger brother below (my dear little brother Tom), I absolutely won't easily surrender to you!

  "If you marry him, I'll follow you." I said with a mischievous grin, pointing to the general who had fainted in the corner.

  "...Has anyone ever told you that you're shameless?" Kaname believed that if Taichiro were still awake now, he would surely double his bullying of his master in the future.

  No, Huaiying is a good kid~ Brother Jiao said I'm a good kid so I'm a good kid~

  Kanai, who no longer wants to deal with his own master.

  The sound of footsteps coming up the stairs reached his ears, and Fūma raised an eyebrow with a hint of playful smile at the corner of his mouth. He then leaped out from the damaged window frame. "Since the Shinsengumi has arrived, my mission is accomplished. Snow Village Chizuru, next time we meet, I'll take you away."

  Kanade was convinced that the man named Kazami Chikage had definitely been scared off by his own master.

  Afterwards, the earthwork came up and carried out the general. It is said that there were twenty or thirty radical samurai in Ikedaya who revered the emperor and expelled foreigners. Seven of the samurai died in battle and four were injured. Later it was learned that with the cooperation of the Hitotsubashi clan and the Kyoto Shoshidai, a total of 23 people were eventually captured, and the owner of Ikedaya who helped them escape was also captured.

  Undaunted by the enemy's overwhelming numbers, they penetrated deep into enemy territory. From this perspective, the Shinsengumi indeed achieved a remarkable feat, but their losses were not insignificant either. The commander was struck in the chest and momentarily lost consciousness. Heihachiro's forehead was slashed open, with blood flowing nonstop, and Nagakura's left hand was also injured. One of the soldiers fighting in the rear courtyard was killed, and two others were severely wounded, likely to succumb to their injuries soon.

  The Kyoto protector of the Hikone clan and the Kyoto deputy of the Kuwana clan also fought against ronin, and due to their activity in the Ikedaya Incident, the Shinsengumi gained fame.

  "Your porridge is here." I walked into the general's room with a scowl on my face, carrying the porridge. This general was really infuriating! Ever since he woke up, he had been ordering me around nonstop. I wasn't his servant! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

  "Xiao Qianhe ~ my foot was stepped on by you and can't move, as for the porridge, you come feed me." Zong Si gave a "it's all your fault, you have to take responsibility" expression, plus a pair of innocent eyes that made me want to speak but stop.

  Actually I wanted to say, what I stepped on was your foot not your hand. Even eating needs me to help you with it. You're just internally injured, not paralyzed!

  I knelt on the tatami mat less than a foot away from the general, cursing the Japanese again for inventing this torturous kneeling posture. I scooped up a spoonful of porridge and brought it to the general's lips "Here, eat."

  "Little Qianhe, if you eat it like this, you'll get burned." Zong Si squinted his eyes, implying that he wouldn't eat it unless she blew it cool.

  (￣_，￣) The boss is bullying people, but there should be a limit... He gripped the spoon tightly and finally blew on it to cool it down before feeding it to the boss. Humph, I won't bother with you! "Open your mouth."

  General Zong, with a triumphant smile, opened his mouth and swallowed the porridge into his stomach. His mouth corners curled up with an intentional or unintentional smile. "Little Qian He is indeed not gentle, this porridge is delicious, it's my first time having such a flavorful porridge."

  "It's not nice of you to be so ungrateful, this is eight-treasure porridge, with many nourishing ingredients added. The flavor should be pretty good, right? You can't possibly like eating that bland and watery porridge." I glanced at him briefly, continued scooping the porridge, blew on it a bit, then fed it to his mouth again.

  "Eight Treasures Porridge? Never heard of it. Can I not eat this?" Zong Si raised the small paper package in his hand.

  "No, Mr. Tsuchida said you have to eat it. I heard that the Ishida powder medicine is good for cuts and bruises, and even Koichi says it's a great medicine. If you want me to eat it, I'll eat it, after all, it's a specialty of Mr. Tsuchida's hometown, if anything goes wrong, Mr. Tsuchida will be responsible." He took the small paper package from Sōji's hand and opened it, revealing the powdered medicine inside, and poured a cup of water for him.

  "You're really like my sister with this strong side of yours." General continued smiling.

  "Really? General wants me to call him sister?" I instantly put on a smiling face with a provocative expression.

  "Hmm, now that you've finished eating, give me some of your secretly stored Babao (note 1) to eat." Before I could even refuse, he took the lead and poured the medicinal powder into his mouth, then drank a few mouthfuls of water and swallowed it all in one gulp.

  You're too much, General. Not only do you order people around, but you also covet other people's snacks... Silently, he took out the Eight Bridges from his ring and handed them over to the emperor in front of him.

  "...... Does Xiaochi He like you?" General Shou's hand suddenly stopped for a moment, then he looked up and asked me with an extremely harmless smile.

  "...I like it, Xiaoyi is very gentle and pretty." I replied with a tilt of my head.

  "Hmm...so that's how it is." General So's voice trailed off, a faintly sinister smile spreading across his face.

  I stared at the captain for a while, then patted him on the shoulder in a comforting manner. "Captain, don't be discouraged, Xiao Yi won't abandon you because of this, you must be strong!"

  "Xiao Qianhe, your porridge is getting cold." The smile on General Zong's face gradually faded away, and he said with a gloomy expression.

  "Hey......" I shook, General, don't you remember if I've ever done anything wrong to you? You don't have to use this low-pressure tactic on me, I'm innocent.

  【……】Kanazuki was nibbling on a green vegetable in the corner of the wall, pretending that she didn't exist. She said that when Sousa wakes up, he will definitely bully the master. Which man can accept being called gay and letting another man marry him? Sousa's dignity as a man has been destroyed by the master all at once.

  Yatsuhashi (eight bridges): Yatsuhashi is a crispy cookie made from glutinous rice flour mixed with cinnamon and baked, it's one of the most representative specialties in Kyoto, Japan. There is also a type called "Nama-yatsuhashi" which is unbaked yatsuhashi, very soft and chewy, often filled with bean paste and shaped into triangles.
