Chapter Five A Moment of Peace

"Almost ready to go."

Gui said to Fang Lang.

Indeed, they were almost ready, Bai Yasha stood at the front with his back to the crowd, while Gao Shan glanced sideways at Fang Lang, urging him silently.

"Wait a minute! I'm going to get something."

Fang Lang gave everyone an embarrassed smile, then turned around and ran back to the room that Gui had arranged for him.

He almost forgot that he didn't have any clothes, he couldn't bear to keep wearing the samurai uniform from now on.

Once you pack your clothes and put them away, you can head out.

The road was really quiet, Shiriyasha and Takasugi didn't seem like talkative people, so they walked at the front and were naturally speechless. The route had already been determined, and Gui and Fang Lang fell behind and chatted about the arrangements behind while they were on their way.

"After the retreat, what do you think should be done?"

Since hearing Fang Lang explain the retreat route, Gui Xiaotaro has completely believed him.

"First of all, you should settle down. While you are recovering from your wounds, I will recruit samurai who will not accept the shogunate." Without even thinking about it. This sentence was thrown out of Fang Lang's mouth.

Isn't this a very good way out, first of all you need to recharge your batteries. Gui rested his chin and lowered his head to think for a while.

But would the competitive Takasugi agree to hand over the team's lifeline to Fang Lang? No matter how you think about it, it is impossible. And Gui is also very afraid that he will go out alone, and everyone will be in danger.

"Don't worry about Takasugi." Seeing Gui's appearance, Fang Lang quickly understood what he was thinking, showed a gentle smile reassuringly, and reached out to pat his drooping head. "I'll take care of it."

"You are really reliable."

Fang Lang's words seemed to have a special magical power, which made Gui willing to believe and feel relieved.

The distance is not short, but as long as you keep walking, it will only take a few hours. At the end of this journey, Gao Shan was a little exhausted first, followed by Gui.

It was the same, the two of them were the most injured. So that when they finally returned to the destination, the four of them almost supported each other to walk.

"Anyway, you guys rest first."

After retreating to a safe city, the sky has changed from dim to sunny, and there is no sign of the torrential rain the night before except for the water on the road. Fang Lang first found an inconspicuous dilapidated house that no one lived in for a long time, settled the three of them, and then went out to a distant town.

The bustling streets are hardly the same world as the previous battlefield. This side is well protected, and the flames of war have not spread here. But having heard the battle situation, there is also an unspoken tension here. The claws of heaven and man will always reach here. Fang Lang looked at the passers-by on the street, the smiles of children, and the peaceful shops, and secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must never let heaven and man destroy this place.

Human beings are fragile, but they are also strong. This is one of the few unoccupied places. If all the last bits are lost, there will be no bright future.

Thinking of these things, Fang Lang couldn't help speeding up his pace.

While you still have some money to use, stock up on more things. The injured people needed medicine, so Fang Lang walked into the pharmacy first and took a few boxes of trauma medicine and bandages.

Water and food are also needed. Instead, he walked into the convenience store to choose convenient and practical vegetarian food. When he walked past the cabinet with pens and paper, Fang Lang suddenly stopped.

Since you want to recruit samurai, why not start by posting advertisements?

Those small street advertisements are the best way to spread the news effectively without spending much money. So Fang Lang took a stack of carton pens without hesitation.

It doesn't take much time to purchase these items. Fang Lang went back soon.

Opening the dilapidated door, he found that Gui hadn't slept yet.

"I'm sorry to bother you about everything." Gui looked at the bag Fang Lang was holding in his hand, and said embarrassedly.

Fang Lang was a little surprised to find that Gui hadn't slept yet. He put the two plastic bags full of things on the ground. "What are you talking about? We are all companions in front of the shogunate."

"Now you don't have to worry about anything, just sleep well."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

"I want to post leaflets to recruit some samurai, Gui, are you okay now?"

"I slept before, let me help you."

"Is it really okay?"

"Um."

"Oh well."

Fang Lang handed Gui a piece of paper and a pen.

"Let's think about how to write it first." Fang Lang sat down cross-legged, biting the tail of his pen and thinking.

"The recruitment of samurai requires a large number of people to resist the shogunate?"

"The location needs to find another place to meet." Fang Lang quickly wrote down several scheduled locations on paper. "Also, you can't write your name. You will definitely be targeted."

"Then write your name." Gui pointed to a corner of the paper.

"But this is tantamount to admitting that I am in charge."

"You will be responsible for persuading Takasugi, aren't you?"

"makes sense."

Feeling that what Gui said was reasonable, Fang Lang nodded, and wrote his name on the corner Gui pointed at, in the name of the sponsor of the fundraising.

"The location... I chose this place." Gui's finger was a little on one of the piles of addresses that Fang Lang had written before. Fang Lang's gaze followed Gui Xiu's long fingers, and he nodded solemnly.

"Well, this place has a back alley for easy exit. Just this bistro."

Gululu

Just as he finished speaking, a discordant voice suddenly came out.

The air froze, and there was a few seconds of silence.

Fang Lang laughed awkwardly to break the silence, reached into another plastic bag to stir around, and took out an instant rice ball to fill his hungry stomach while writing down the address.

He rushed so fast that he forgot to try not to eat. It was not until his body gave a warning that he realized that his chest was already hungry and his back was pressed against his back.

"Well, Gui, do you want to eat it?"

"I don't need it."

"Things are almost done, and you can go to rest."

"Yes, I think Fang Langsang, you should also take a break."

Understanding Gui's proposal, Fang Lang nodded and said that he would rest after eating the rice balls. ..
