Chapter 858 Changing History
2024 5 Month 27 Day.

Edo.

The Edo Castle, where the shogun originally lived, was rebuilt and became even more majestic, becoming the tallest city wall in the Guinness Book of World Records, with a height of 100 meters.

Shin-Edo Castle is located in the center of Edo, overlooking the entire Edo from a domineering attitude.

No building is taller than the castle tower where the Shogun lived.

It is daytime now.

The tall buildings appear somewhat dim under the sunlight and not as gorgeous as they are at night.

Except for the tall buildings, there is a group of low buildings that are obviously slums.

Qingze appeared on the streets of Edo and quickly entered the state of Schrödinger's cat non-existence. Then with a thought, he disappeared from the street and appeared inside a library.

Tall bookshelves stand in the library, divided into different areas according to signboards.

Qingze’s target is very clear, that is the historical area.

His body changed from a translucent state to a solid state. He pulled out a history book from the bookshelf and opened it to take a look.

History began to change in 1864.

Ikedaya incident.

A strange man named Qingze, whose origin is unknown, meets with General Iemochi, explains the ambitions of the Choshu clan bandits, and crushes their conspiracy.

This is the first time his name appears in history books, and there are no detailed results of his talks with Tokugawa Iemochi.

Apparently, Tokugawa Iemochi's plot to assassinate the emperor was not recorded by the historians.

The Collapse of Kyoto is the name of the Kinmon Incident in this world.

He also appeared in the Shinsengumi, arranging for them to evacuate the people of Kyoto.

Then, his name could not be found in history books.

In the following expedition to Choshu, Tokugawa Iemochi followed his advice and implemented a scorched earth policy in Choshu in the name of revenge for the emperor, killing, burning, and looting everyone.

From then on, anyone who proposed to expel the foreigners would be labeled an accomplice in the conspiracy to murder the emperor, and his entire clan would be killed.

Tokugawa Iemochi suppressed all rebels with an iron fist and made friends with countries such as Britain and the United States.

During Tokugawa Iemochi's long reign, he had no time to wage war against foreign enemies and was only concerned with suppressing dissidents at home and consolidating his own authority.

Ryukyu was able to maintain its independence.

Time till now.

The Tokugawa shogunate still existed and continued to maintain a semi-closed, semi-open state.

Foreign trade was limited to some coastal cities.

Most places retain simple buildings from the last century and the literacy rate is very low.

Qingze watched all this, and the simple flap of his butterfly wings changed history.

Really interesting.

he thought.

A librarian appeared here holding a book. She wore round glasses and a simple kimono. "Excuse me, sir, when did you come in? I have no impression of you at all."

Qingze closed the book, glanced sideways at the girl standing there, shook his head and said, "Don't worry about it, I'll leave right away."

He put the book back on the bookshelf and used Schrödinger's cat. He gradually turned translucent and disappeared from the girl's eyes.

"Eh?!"

The girl looked surprised and ran forward quickly. She waved her hand at the space in front of her, but did not detect any human touch.

A living person disappeared right before my eyes!

The girl rubbed her eyes. Could it be that she was blurry because of staying up late to read?
Qingze floats in the air and uses Schrödinger's cat to leave the library.

While reading history books, he discovered that there was an acquaintance who was still alive, so he planned to go over and take a look.

……

Edo Castle, three stories high, with a separate projecting courtyard on the west side.

May is the season when cherry blossoms fall.

The cherry blossoms in the yard have lost their original pink color and become no different from ordinary trees.

Xuecun Tsuruko sat on a rattan chair, the warm sunlight fell on her body, bringing a faint warmth.

But her hands were still cold.

She felt that her end was approaching, and her thoughts drifted back to that turbulent era.

He followed the director around, fought battles in the south and the north, defeated the anti-foreign activists who were detrimental to the shogunate, and saved the people from war.

But isn’t this result wrong?
Yukimura Tsuruko will still think about the answer.

The people around her left one by one. Now the Shinsengumi still exists, but those she was familiar with have left this world.

Only she, as a demon warrior, is still alive.

"Ugh."

Xuecun Hezi sighed softly and looked up at the gate again.

A tall young man appeared there, wearing a pitch-black uniform, his long black hair casually tied into a ponytail with a hairband, and a samurai sword hanging from his waist.

"You old thief Xuecun! Today is the day you die!"

The young man's face was cold.

He didn't know why there was a defense vacuum in Yukimura Tsuruko, who had always been well defended, but he would definitely not miss this good opportunity.

Killing the old villain Yukimura will definitely be a blow to the shogunate and the Shinsengumi.

It will also boost the morale of the anti-Qing forces in the country.

He was willing to take a gamble.

"It is because of you and the shogunate that this country has become so backward and corrupt!"

Yukimura Tsuruko said nothing.

In recent years, in order to maintain its own rule, the shogunate has been adopting a policy of keeping the people ignorant in most rural areas.

There is high pressure in big cities.

No one is allowed to talk about free and democratic Western ideas.

In the 21st century, 40 percent of people have no access to the internet and lack electricity.

All modern and civilized facilities were enjoyed by the high-ranking officials of the shogunate.

The longer she lived, the more she thought about it, and she also came to the conclusion that she might have done something wrong.

But she no longer had the energy to undo her mistake.

If my head can give a little hope to those who are trying to overthrow the Qing Dynasty in the country, then I will take it.

It can be considered as some compensation she made before her death.

Yukimura Tsuruko closed her eyes.

The sound of footsteps was so loud.

Buzz, the sound of the blade breaking through the air made her feel very familiar, as if in an instant she was pulled back to her youth, fighting side by side with the director and others.

It was wrong, but she really missed those people.

Puff, the sound of blood spurting out from the blood vessels was heard.

Yukimura Tsuruko didn't feel any pain. She opened her eyes in confusion, thinking that the guard should have been transferred away by herself.

However, the man in front of him fell down with blood spurting from his neck.

A young man appeared in front of Yukimura Tsuruko, with regular features, looking familiar yet a little strange.

Xuecun Tsuruko stared at Qingze for a while before she suddenly remembered who this person was.

"Qingze?!"

Xuecun Tsuruko screamed in surprise, every wrinkle on her face piled up, her waist suddenly straightened, and then there was a clicking sound.

Her twisted waist made her hands tremble, but she ignored the pain and continued to stare at the boy, asking in amazement, "Why haven't you aged at all?"

"Time is really cruel."

Qingze sighed, remembering a girl with fair skin and a pretty face.

In the blink of an eye, she turned into an old lady with white hair and hands as dry as dead tree bark.

If there is anything that is beautified with the passage of time, it is probably those eyes.

Revealing the indifference that comes from seeing through the passage of time.

"It always feels a bit ironic when this sentence comes out of your mouth."

Xuecun Tsuruko's excited heart calmed down. After all, she was no longer the girl she used to be.

The years have made her grow a lot and her temperament has become more stable.

Qingze smiled and said without any explanation, "The Shinsengumi lived up to my expectations and left a glorious name in history.

Sword Master Okita Souji, Vice-chief of the Demons Hijikata Toshizo...

Who did you end up marrying?"

"No, I have been running around, fighting in various battlefields, and committing too many murders. How can I deserve the happiness of a normal person?"

Xuecun Tsuruko shook her head and began to tell Qingze about what happened in those years.

Qingze did not choose to interrupt, but listened to her story patiently and compared it with the history books just now. He found that in terms of details, the person in front of him who had experienced it personally knew more details.

……

The two were talking excitedly when they heard hurried footsteps outside the yard.

A group of people quickly appeared at the gate of the courtyard, "Master Xuecun, are you okay?"

Accompanied by a shout.

The young man with a spiky hair style rushed into the yard, and with a glance around, he saw two rows of cherry trees on the left and right, and a dead body lying on the road.

He was still frightened, and looked at the young man who was chatting happily with Xuecun Hezi, with a trace of doubt on his face, he asked: "Master Xuecun, who is this?"

There should be no second-generation officials in the shogunate who would be willing to come to this courtyard and chat with Lord Xuecun.

He wanted answers.

Yukimura Tsuruko did not answer his question, but said to Qingze: "This is the captain of the Shinsengumi's first team, Yoji Mitani.

Don't be fooled by his young age, he is very good at swordsmanship, and has some of the style of Lord Okita. " "Is there still room for swordsmanship in this era?"

"Of course, firearms are only provided to the military and are strictly controlled. The Shinsengumi now functions as what foreign countries call a police station, maintaining public order in Edo."

Xuecun Tsuruko explained a few things to Qingze.

Yoji Mitani's expression became more and more confused. He could see that the communication between Lord Yukimura and the young boy was not like that between elders and juniors, but more like that between peers.

How can this be?

Lord Yukimura is the only surviving first-generation member of the Shinsengumi.

His status is so high that even the current general has to act as if he is a junior when he sees Lord Xuecun.

Although such behavior may seem a bit of a show, it also proves how high Xuecun's current status is.

In the hearts of those who support the shogunate, Yukimura Tsuruko is a living legend.

"Why do you seem to have no memory of the country at all? Where have you been all these years?"

“I am in heaven.”

Qingze replied with a smile.

Yoji Mitani really wanted to complain, what kind of middle school boy is this?
But he said nothing and continued to stand there and watch.

Qingze patted Xuecun Hezi's head and said, "Enough of the small talk. I have other things to do."

"Yeah, goodbye."

Xuecun Tsuruko didn't think she would be able to see Qingze again.

Her life has come to an end.

"Ah."

Qingze nodded, and his body gradually disappeared from this world.

Looking at the empty courtyard, Xuecun Tsuruko couldn't help but believe that there really were immortal gods in this world.

"Hey, Master Yukimura, what's going on?"

Yoji Mitani cried out in shock.

Looking at his appearance, Xuecun Hezi smiled, as if she saw her younger self, and said softly: "He is Qingze."

"No way!"

Yoji Mitani's face was full of shock. He often chatted with Yukimura Tsuruko, so he had naturally heard of Qingze's name. He also knew that he was a person from 1864!
Why do you still look like a teenager?!
Yoji Mitani felt his brain was in a mess and he couldn't understand anything at all, let alone think that Lord Yukimura was deceiving him.

Xuecun Tsuruko couldn't answer, and even she didn't know why. She tilted her head back, feeling the wind on her cheeks, and closed her eyes. It was really a perfect time for a nap.

The sound gradually faded away from my ears.

She fell into a deep sleep.

……

Tokyo, Adachi Ward.

In the bedroom of the Morimoto family, Qingze's figure emerged from the void and stepped on the ground.

He picked up the phone on the bedside table, unlocked it and saw that it was a message from Chiyo Morimoto.

"I won't be back at noon today. Something happened to Emily."

The read label was attached to the back, and Qingze quickly typed back, "Oh, what happened to Emily?"

He asked even though he knew the answer, and he wasn't worried that the other party would suspect him.

The weaving of fate will surely create a perfect reason to prevent anyone from guessing that it was Dio who did it.

"She's out of luck."

Chiyo Morimoto leaned back in her chair, thinking about the call from Catalina just now.

She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly.

Even though her smile was unfriendly to Emily who was lying in the hospital, she couldn't help but smile in her heart.

I told Emily not to do those useless things.

But Emily refused to listen and insisted on going to school to meet and talk with Lizzie, but she met someone who wanted to attack Lizzie.

What are the identities of those people?
Chiyo Morimoto could probably guess that in Japan, the people who wanted to deal with Lizzy were most likely related to the U.S. Department of Energy.

The Ministry of Energy’s words also involve Institute No. 47.

They may be worried that Lizzie is secretly investigating France's death.

As a result, Emily accidentally drank the principal's tea before Lizzie.

She is really unlucky.

Chiyo Morimoto felt a little gloating. When she heard her phone ding, she picked it up and looked at it. "How bad is Emily's luck?"

"Haha, don't worry about that. I have to save face for her. I'll go to the hospital to visit her at noon. You can just eat something at home."

Chiyo Morimoto did not tell Qingze about Emily's embarrassment.

Even though Qingze knew it very well.

He still pretended to be confused and replied, "Yeah."

After ending their conversation, Qingze exited the chat software and searched the Internet for the time periods of historical events related to the Three Kingdoms.

He only remembered the general events, but the exact time was unclear.

The thing that made him feel regretful during the Three Kingdoms period was undoubtedly Sun Shiwan's backstabbing.

Qingze wanted to choose a suitable time to enter.

As for Emily, there is no need to worry about her for now.

Disasters always come one after another, and so does bad luck.

Emily had better take care of herself before she goes into his secrets.

……

October of the 24th year of Jian'an.

night.

The cool evening breeze blew across the Han army camp, and the flags fluttered in the wind.

Most of the tents were plunged into darkness, with only a few patrolling soldiers still on duty.

Guan Yu did not sleep in the main tent of the central army.

He sat at the desk, repeatedly reading the letter that Xu Huang had shot into the camp earlier.

Guan Yu was not without precautions against the stab in the back by Sun Quan of Eastern Wu, and he built the cities of Jiangling and Gong'an extremely solidly.

It is higher than Fancheng, which is currently under siege by the army.

As long as Mi Fang and Shi Ren hold on.

Even if Sun Quan led an army of 100,000 to attack, it would be enough to delay him until his return, and no problem would arise.

The premise is that the content of this letter is true and credible.

But Guan Yu suspected a trick.

If he retreated at this point, he would probably miss the best opportunity to capture Fancheng.

Guan Yu put down the letter in his hand and sighed.

To be honest, Fancheng is not easy to attack.

Cao Ren and Man Chong inside were determined to hold their ground, while outside there were reinforcements sent by Cao Cao.

According to reports from scouts, the number of troops in Xu Huang's camp has increased and he is likely to launch a wave of attacks.

This is a good opportunity.

Guan Yu couldn't help but wonder where Xu Huang would attack next?

If they can be defeated, it is likely to undermine the morale of the defenders inside Fancheng.

Otherwise, he is likely to get into a bad situation.

But it's worth the gamble!
He is not young anymore. If he misses this good opportunity, will he have another chance to restore the Han Dynasty with his elder brother next time?
Huh, the candlelight flickered, Guan Yu looked up, the door curtain was drooping, there was no sign of wind.

He subconsciously glanced to the side, and under the candlelight, a person appeared out of nowhere in the tent.

The half-closed almond-shaped eyes widened!

Guan Yu looked at the strange boy who suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't control his facial expression at all. "Who are you?"

Qingze stood on the ground, taking in the ancient and charming scene in front of him, as well as the tall and strong man sitting beside the desk.

His hair and beard were slightly gray, indicating that he was quite old.

With a ruddy face, long drooping eyebrows and phoenix eyes, he looks majestic, like a god descending from heaven.

Guan Yu's face flashed with astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure, grasped the hilt of his sword, and asked, "Who are you?"

"My name is Qingze, and I have come here specially to help you, my lord, and to support the Han Dynasty."

Qingze smiled and continued to look at Guan Yu, feeling that he was extremely similar to the old Guan Yu in the 94 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

No wonder some people say that the 94 version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was filmed by traveling directly back to the history of the Three Kingdoms.

Guan Yu's half-closed eyes flashed with a hint of thought, and he loosened the hilt of the sword and said in a deep voice: "I wonder what you have to teach me, sir?"

He has an arrogant personality and is hostile to those children from wealthy families who have no ability but are boastful.

He was very polite to people with real talents and knowledge, as well as to ordinary soldiers and civilians, and would never show any contempt.

The young man in front of him was obviously not an ordinary person. He was able to ignore the army outside and appear directly in his tent.

If you want to assassinate him, you can just sneak up behind him and chop his neck with a dagger or sword.

He must be defenseless.

But the other party did not do so, and Guan Yu was somewhat convinced that this strange man had no ill will towards him.

It’s those strange eyes, as if they saw something very rare?
Guan Yu thought to himself that this should be the first time he met this person.

"Not at all, sir."

Qingze waved his hand, stepped forward, and said with a smile on his face: "My Lord, I can help you capture Xiangfan, defeat Xu Huang, and then return to help kill Lu Meng. I just need to borrow your appearance."

"Lend me your appearance?!"

Guan Yu's face was filled with astonishment, and he looked at the young man in front of him who suddenly changed his appearance and became exactly like him!
