I formed the strongest swordsman group

"This..." Hearing what Sanako said, Chiba Shigetaro lost control of his expression and tone, "Sanako, do you really want to be single forever?"

"Brother." Sanako paused, and when she opened her red lips lightly again, she still showed a slight smile to Chiba Shigetaro, and her tone was a little more joking, "This kind of emotional matter, It cannot be forced."

"You can't force me to fall in love with someone, or directly force me to marry someone, right?"

Chiba Shigetaro choked for a moment, unable to say anything to reply Sanako.

He can only recommend to Sanako the men he thinks are excellent, and do his best to match the two of them. He must not force Sanako to marry anyone—this is the bottom line that Chiba Shigetaro will never break.

Chiba Shigetaro frowned slowly and uncontrollably at this moment.

Although the door of the country has long been opened and the Edo shogunate has completely liberalized exchanges with foreign countries, the current Japanese society is still largely a feudal society.

On the premise that there are no major problems with one's own conditions, pursuing celibacy in a feudal society... Such thinking is a bit too far ahead.

At least Chiba Shigetaro had a hard time accepting that his sister would be unmarried, sterile, and lonely for the rest of her life.

There was no pension or welfare system in this day and age.

Chiba Shigetaro couldn't help but think deeply: If Sanako really never gets married... then what will happen to her in her later years?

My parents are still alive, and I am still young, so I can still protect and take care of Sanako, but my parents and I cannot take care of Sanako forever.

The more Chiba Shigetaro thought about it, the deeper his frown became.

At this time, Sanako pressed the hem of the kimono with her bare hands, and slowly stood up.

"Brother, I have said everything I want to say."

"In short, brother, please don't add new names to this book."

After finishing speaking, Sanazi turned around, walked out of the room with her small and slender feet that were faintly visible under the hem of her clothes.

Seeing the back of Sanako leaving, Chiba Shigetaro, who felt a little depressed because of Sanako's remarks just now, couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, and then put on a self-defeating expression, "Ah, I Don't care about it", while muffled to Zuo Nazi in a tone mixed with a bit of grievance and dissatisfaction:

"I'm not interested in men and women at all... Hmph, that's what you said."

"You must not come to me mysteriously for help one day in the future and ask me some strange questions."

Speaking of this, Chiba Shigetaro cleared his throat vigorously, then squeezed his throat, trying to imitate a very girly and shy tone.

"'Brother, brother, do men prefer women who are good at cooking?'"

As soon as Chiba Shigetaro finished speaking, Sanako, who was about to step out of the room, staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

She quickly stood up, then turned her head and stared at her brother behind her.

Sanako, who is usually always standing still, can no longer maintain a dignified posture due to violent emotional fluctuations.

She was staring at Chiba Shigetaro viciously with her beautiful eyes wide open, and the anger and shame of "unbearable memories being exposed" appeared in the depths of her pupils.

On the delicate and white face and ears, there was a shy red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Looking at his younger sister whose ears were turning red, Chiba Shigetaro grinned, showing a "plan succeeded" smile.

Chiba Shigetaro still doesn't know what kind of personality the younger sister who grew up with each other has a strong affection for each other?

Sanazi has a strong personality. Although she always has the posture of a "strong woman" on weekdays, she is actually surprisingly thin-skinned. Often a simple sentence or action can make Sanazi's entire face blush with embarrassment.

Sanako's moist red lips kept moving, she seemed to want to say something to Chiba Shigetaro, but in the end she seemed to give up the idea of ​​talking to Chiba Shigetaro.

She closed her eyes, turned her face back, and after a heavy "hum", she continued to walk out of the room.

However, just as she had time to take two steps forward, Chiba Shigetaro's voice sounded again.

"That... Sanako."

Zuo Nazi stopped in her tracks again, the blush on her face hadn't completely dissipated, she asked in a sullen tone without turning her head, "Is there anything else?"

Because Sanako didn't turn his head to look at Chiba Shigetaro this time, she didn't notice—her brother had slowly put away his "plan succeeded" smile just now.

"Before you leave, I just want to make sure."

Chiba Shigetaro sighed heavily, then raised his eyes and cast complicated eyes on Sanako.

"You just said that you don't like anyone, including Ryoma Sakamoto... Is that true?"

"Do you really dislike Sakamoto Ryoma?"

Chiba Shigetaro, who has been carefully observing Sanako's movements and demeanor, keenly observed that Sanako's body froze visibly before he finished speaking in this question.

Sanako didn't make Chiba Shigetaro wait too long for her reply.

After only about a moment, Sanako moved her lotus steps lightly, turned around slowly, and faced Chiba Shigetaro.

"Of course I'm telling the truth."

She smiled at her brother again... a smile reminiscent of a rainy cloud.

Probably recalling... No, it doesn't seem to be the case. Sanako seems to be staring into the depths of her eyes far away, and there seems to be some kind of melancholy emotion hidden.

This emotion... can roughly be described as "persistence" or "unwillingness".

"No matter what I am, I am not humble enough to continue to like a person who once said to me such excessive words as 'women's power is too weak' and 'carrying you will only bind your hands'."

"I want to take a breath and let Sakamoto-kun see it: Although I am a daughter, I am not weak, so that he knows that he is wrong... This should be the last feeling I have for Sakamoto-kun now. gone."

When the sound fell, Sanazi stopped talking.

She put away the smile on her face that made people feel very uncomfortable, and changed back to the dignified and elegant Miss Sanako, turned around quickly, and walked out of the room without stopping. And go.

The slender and delicate figure slowly disappeared from Chiba Shigetaro's field of vision.

...

...

Edo, somewhere——

Led by a tall, muscular man covered in colorful tattoos, Kanno returned to the empty tea room he had visited many times.

There is no furniture, the only decoration is a screen with a picture of the night travel of the ghosts.

In front of this large screen sat the combination of "Raksha and Eiichi Shimizu" that Kanno was familiar with.

Rakshasa with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, sat cross-legged with a big grin.

His favorite knife...a sword with a red sheath and red handle lay quietly by his right hand.

As for Rakshasa's favorite knife, Shenye once heard its name by accident: Changyang Zhengzong.

Kamino, who had been pointed at the nose by Raksha Masamune Changyang, felt very deeply how sharp a knife it was.

The leader of the "Shimizu Clan" with a huge burn mark on his left cheek: Shimizu Eiichi sat behind Raksha on the right.

When he glanced at Luo Sha and Shimizu Eiichi, Shen Ye was surprised to find that there was an extra person in the tea room today that he had never seen before.

I saw a rather strong young man about 25 years old sitting behind the left side of Rakshasa.

Shen Ye had never seen this young man before, so he couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Oh, Mr. Kanno. You're here." Seeing Kanno striding into the tea room, Raksha grinned and put down the teacup in his hand, "Come, come and sit."

After Shen Ye entered the tea room, the strong man who led the way for Shen Ye exited the tea room and gently closed the door of the tea room.

"Lord Rakshasa, Lord Shimizu." Kanno sat down in front of Rakshasa respectfully, and then bowed to Rakshasa and the others.

Although he didn't know the name or who of the strange young man who was sitting behind Kanno, Kanno still gave him a salute.

At this time, Luo Sha also seemed to realize that Kanno didn't know the burly young man beside him. He laughed "haha" a few times, and stretched out his hand to compare to the burly young man.

"Kano-kun, before we get down to business, let me introduce who this person next to me is."

"This is one of the cadres of our Fazu Party——Itachi Kama. For some reason, he came to Edo two days ago to help me."

After introducing to Kanno who the young man next to him is, Raksha looked at the young man... at Kamaitachi.

"Itachi. This is the leader of the barbarian group: Kanno Tatsugoro."

cadre!

When hearing this word from Rakshasa's mouth, Kanno's pupils shrank suddenly.

After cooperating with the Fazhu Party for so long, after going back and forth, Shenye also knew some basic information about the Fazhu Party.

The leader of the Fazhu Party and all cadre-level figures will give themselves a code name. And all the code names they adopted were taken from those vicious ghosts in fairy tales.

While using the names of those vicious ghosts as their own code names, the leaders and cadres of the Fazhu Party will also tattoo the monsters used as their code names on their backs.

Kama Itachi... Even an illiterate who can't read a single character must have heard the name and story of this famous monster to some extent.

Kamaitachi is a kind of wind demon in the local legend of Koshinetsu in Japan. It will appear in the form of a whirlwind and attack people it meets with its sharp claws like sickles. Although the victim's skin will be cut open for a long time, he doesn't feel any pain at all.

Although it is not a terrible monster, but because of its high popularity of stories, Kamaitachi is also one of the most well-known monsters among the people.

Unexpectedly, this young man is one of the cadres of the French Party... This is the first time for Kanno to see a member of the French Party other than Rakshasa.

Kanno hurriedly bowed to Kama Itachi respectfully.

Faced with Kanno's salute and greeting, Kamaitachi just nodded slightly expressionlessly, and then looked away, not only did not respond to Kanno's greeting, but he didn't even look at Kanno.

This person is so cold... Shenye, who had a hot face and a cold butt, couldn't help but feel his heart sink, and he was a little displeased.

He raised his gaze and carefully observed Kamaitachi's face, and found that there was a touch of impatience and irritability hidden deep in Kamaitachi's eyes.

"Okay." Raksha, who helped Kanno and Kamaitachi introduce each other, stretched vigorously, "The introduction is also done, now... let's talk about business."

"Kano-kun, why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

Yesterday afternoon, Shenye suddenly contacted him and said that he wanted to discuss something important with him.

For Kanno's request for a meeting, Rakshasa has always been willing to come - because he quite admires this young man who is quite extreme in both thinking and behavior.

Seeing that Raksha asked him bluntly why he came, Shenye cleared his throat and straightened his waist even more.

"Lord Rakshasa, I'll get straight to the point."

"Can you please use your power to help me prepare 100... no, 150 bottles of kerosene!"

"Fire oil?" Luo Sha raised his eyebrows, a little surprise floating between his brows.

Shimizu Eiichi was as surprised as Rakshasa.

Kamaitachi, who had never looked directly at Kanno, also squinted his eyes at this moment, scanning Kanno with meaningful gaze.

"Kano-kun." Raksha raised his right arm and supported his head, with a smile on his lips, "What do you need so much kerosene for? Winter is still far away."

"Master Luocha, you must have heard of it recently, right? That fox monk and cat monk wiped out the dens of a certain group of smugglers and found a lot of kerosene."

"Because of this matter, Edo's South and North Enforcement Offices and the Huofu Thief Gai are now strictly investigating the smugglers and the sale of fire oil in Edo City."

"To be honest..."

Shenye's face suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth, squeezing out one word after another from the clenched teeth.

"The person who bought that batch of kerosene from the group of smugglers who were wiped out by Hu Xiaoseng and Mao Xiaoseng...is our Barbarian Group."

As soon as Kanno's words came out, whether it was Rakshasa, Kamaitachi or Shimizu Eiichi, their expressions changed slightly.

"So you were the ones who bought that batch of kerosene with those smugglers." Luo Sha grinned.

"Thanks to the 'blessing' of the hateful fox monk and cat monk, all the kerosene we bought with a lot of money disappeared." Shen Ye clenched his teeth even tighter, and sent out The voice of "squeaky" said, "Heemon is such a waste! Thanks to me for entrusting him with such a heavy responsibility!"

Heiemon—the name of the birthmarked face that Aoto copied onto the "Wind Senser" from his body.

After viciously complaining and cursing the kerosene that failed to protect them, and the fox monk and cat monk who caused all the kerosene they purchased to be wiped out, Shenye sternly stern again.

"Lord Rakshasa, our barbarian group is going to implement a plan that requires a lot of fire oil."

"All the kerosene purchased from Heiemon and the others has been reimbursed. We can only find another way to raise new kerosene."

"Currently, Edo's southern and northern prefectures and fire thieves are strictly monitoring the sale and purchase of kerosene, and it is difficult for us to collect enough kerosene in a short period of time with our own strength alone. "

"Therefore, I want to ask you for help. Please try your best to help us raise 150 bottles of fire oil within 7 days. The price is negotiable!"

Raksha narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thoughtful and thought-provoking light shot out from under his eyelids.

"...Kano-kun, it's not a problem for us to help you raise fire oil."

"but--"

Rakshasa changed the subject.

"I need to know what plan you are planning to implement first."

"I have to decide whether to help you according to the content of your plan."

"After all, at heart... I'm a businessman."

Raksha grinned, showing a smile that made people feel uncomfortable.

"We never do any loss-making business that is of no benefit to our legal party."

Seeing that Rakshasa actually asked him to tell the plan that the barbarian group was going to implement, which needed a lot of fire oil, a shadow of hesitation flashed in Shenye's eyes.

However, the hesitation in his eyes dissipated quite quickly. After only a moment, Shenye took a deep breath and said softly:

"……I see."

...

Kanno spoke of their plan in a tone of neither rush nor delay, neither serious nor serious.

Rakshasa and the others listened quietly, so that only Kanno's voice echoed in this spacious tea room.

After about half a stick of incense, Shenye finished talking about their plan.

When Kanno finished speaking, the expressions of Rakshasa and the others showed a completely different change.

Shimizu Rong frowned.

Kamaitachi looked at Kanno a few more times in surprise.

Luo Sha was stunned for a moment, then looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Hahaha! Not bad, Kanno-kun, you guys are so courageous that you plan to attack that place!"

"Interesting! Interesting!"

Laughing loudly, Raksha clapped vigorously several times.

"Okay! I'm sure! Let's help you raise fire oil!"

"Rongyi."

Raksha turned his head and looked at Eiichi Shimizu who was sitting behind him on the right.

After Rakshasa looked over, Shimizu Rongyi hurriedly put his hands on the ground humbly and bowed down.

"Kano-kun, he wants us to help them raise 150 bottles of fire oil within 7 days... Do you have a way to complete this task?"

Shimizu Rongyi raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a confident smile:

"Master Luosha, this task is too simple for our "Qingshui Clan"."

"Others are afraid of the enforcement office and the fire to pay the thieves to change it, but we, the 'Qingshui Clan', are not afraid."

"It doesn't take 7 days, it only takes 5 days... No, it only takes 4 days! I can present 150 bottles of brand new fire oil to you!"

"En." Luo Sha nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"Yes!" Shimizu Eiichi lowered his head, Gao claimed yes.

At this time, Shenye followed Shimizu Eiichi with a grateful expression and bowed his head to Rakshasa: "Lord Rakshasa, thank you for your help! I will definitely repay the purchase funds in the future..."

Before Shenye finished speaking, Raksha waved his hand and interrupted Shenye: "There is no need for money. I will not take any money for this kerosene."

"Are you going to give us all the kerosene?" Kano was stunned.

"Anyway, this kind of kerosene doesn't cost a lot of money." Luosha raised an arm to support his head, "But... If I say that I give all the kerosene to you for nothing, then that's okay. no."

"I have conditions here too."

"Kano-kun, after we help you raise fire oil for free, you must faithfully implement your plan."

"I'm looking forward to your big plan."

That smile that made people feel uncomfortable just hung on Rakshasa's cheeks again.

"I was looking forward to seeing you burn that area to ashes, so I decided to help you raise fuel for the fire."

"So... don't let me find out that you take things and do nothing."

Raksha didn't say a single threatening word in the whole article. On the contrary, the tone he used when he spoke just now has been very kind.

But it was such a kind word that made a drop of cold sweat break out on Shenye's forehead.

"This, this is natural! For this plan, we have been preparing for a long time!"

"It is our long-cherished wish to burn that hateful area to nothingness!"

"If it's possible, our group of barbarians would like to burn down that area today and kill all the people who live there!"

Luo Sha smiled and nodded: "That's good."

At this time, Luo Sha recalled something and began to laugh meaningfully.

"Kano-kun, when you attacked the Fanshu Institute before, you got stuck with Ju Qingdeng again. I thought you would retaliate fiercely against Ju Qingdeng in the future, but I didn't expect you to do nothing. ...surprised me."

Ju Qingdeng... Hearing this name, Shenye's pupils shrank slightly immediately, and his face changed suddenly.

"...After the battle at the Fanshu Institute, I really thought about taking revenge on Ju Qingdeng." Shenye said slowly with a deep voice, "But I finally held back this thought."

"Compared to the great cause of our barbarian group, what is the little Juqingdeng!"

"After the failure of the raid on the Fan Shu Tiao Institute, the strength of our Barbarian group has weakened a lot. We must not waste precious manpower and material resources on places that can be postponed."

"Mobilizing forces to take revenge on Ju Qingdeng will only result in a small loss."

"As long as we can complete our great cause of eradicating barbarians, it doesn't matter whether it's Juqingdeng, or anything else... I can bear with it for a while!"

After finishing speaking, the eyes of Shenye who was glaring and gnashing his teeth flickered—a stream of light called "crazy" and "paranoia" surged wildly in his pupils.

Looking at Shenye's appearance, Rakshasa opened the corners of his grinning mouth even more—his expression seemed to be seeing some extremely beautiful scenery

...

...

After watching Kanno leave, the huge tea room returned to the number of three people.

"...He actually wanted to attack that place... What a crazy guy." Shimizu Sakae kept staring at the direction where Kanno left.

"Hoho." Rakshasa chuckled a few times, "Eiichi, being bold and crazy is one of Kanno-kun's few strengths."

Luo Sha grabbed the teacup in front of him, sipped the tea in the cup lightly, a flash of thought flashed in his eyes.

When he put the teacup back to its original position, he turned his head and looked at Kamaitachi beside him.

"Scythe weasel."

"What are you doing?" Kaka Itachi stared back at Rakshasa with an unkind expression.

"Anyway, you are idle now, and I will give you a task - to protect Shenye-kun secretly."

"Concealment is your specialty, and this task is just right for you."

"Huh?" Kamaitachi's face darkened suddenly, "Protect that Shenye? Why?"

"Because Kanye-kun is a talent I admire." Luo Sha smiled lightly, "You also know that I love talents the most. When I see valuable talents, I always want to take them under my command."

"The South and North Enforcement Offices in Edo and the Huofu Thief Kai are vigorously searching for the Koi group. Although Kanye-kun has done a good job of keeping secrets, the Enforcement Office and the Huofu Thief Kai have not found them until now. The stronghold of the Yi group, but Baimi often has a sparse."

"It would be a pity if such a talent died prematurely."

"So go and help me secretly protect Kanno-kun. As long as you don't let Kanno-kun die, you can do whatever else you want."

Kamaitachi stared at Rakshasa's face with a gloomy and uncertain expression.

After about two breaths, he stood up with a "hoo" and looked down at Rakshasa from a high position.

"Raksha, who the hell do you think you are? Why do you give orders to me? Do you think you are Master Orochi or Master Dayakemaru?"

The atmosphere in the tea room suddenly became suffocating.
