I formed the strongest swordsman group

Amidst the congratulations and shouts of the elders like Kondo and Hijikata, Mai Kinoshita's clear voice like a silver bell was particularly catchy.

Kinoshita danced at a speed four times faster than Kiryu's, kicking the flat clogs under her feet, bouncing towards Qingdeng.

Kondo and the others, who were surrounding Qingdeng and Souji, automatically separated to the two sides, making way for Kinoshita Mai and Kiryu.

"Boss Kiryu! Ah Wu!"

Seeing the two people approaching, the lines on Qingdeng's face instantly relaxed, revealing a soothing and harmonious smile.

When I arrived at the arena today, it was already a little late.

Due to the rush to warm up, I was unable to say hello to Kiryu and Kinoshita Mai in the "audience seat" before the game, and could only wave to the old and young couple from a distance.

This is Qingdeng's first conversation with Kinoshita Mai today.

Although it seems a bit disrespectful to say so... But Mai Kinoshita's congratulatory voice made Qingdeng feel more happy and elated than Kondo's congratulatory voice.

During the conversation, Kinoshita Mai had already jumped up to Qingdeng.

At this time, Qingdeng also stood up from the ground with the chief in his arms.

"Qingdeng! That blow you just made was too powerful!"

Kinoshita Mai made an excited voice, and raised her two clenched fists to her chest, as she wished to praise Qingdeng to the heavens, pouring out from her red lips unceasingly.

Generally speaking, Kinoshita Mai, who is timid and afraid of strangers, and does not wear a face scarf, mask or other things that can cover her face, should be difficult to make such a loud voice in such a place with many strangers.

But the excitement of being happy for Qing Deng who won the game overwhelmed the fear of strangers and temporarily overcome his shy nature.

Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai, who were paying attention to each other, didn't notice at this time: after Kinoshita Wu called Qingdeng's name loudly, the strange expressions and reactions of the surrounding people showed.

And Qingdeng's "A Wu" just now, like fuel poured into a fire, made the weird expressions on the faces of the surrounding people suddenly intensified a lot.

"Oh~~"

At this time, Tufang on the side suddenly had a meaningful smile on his face, and walked to Qingdeng's side swaggeringly.

"Tachibana, when did the relationship between you and the little girl from Qianshiwu become so good? You can even call each other by their first names."

When talking about the passage "you can call each other's names", the earth side specially pulled out the tone, and the tone was full of jokes.

As soon as Tufang's voice fell, low and joking laughter immediately sounded from all around.

The people around could clearly hear how Qingdeng and Kinoshita Wu matched each other just now.

In Hijikata's impression, this couple used to call each other "Tachibana-kun" and "Ms. Kinoshita" in a proper way.

As a result, at some point, they started calling each other by their first names?

Men and women suddenly start calling each other by their first names... In this day and age, this is a great source of gossip and conversation!

Hijikata's teasing and the laughter around him made Kinoshita Mai's face turn red instantly, and she quickly lowered her head, staring at her tiny toes.

Although Kinoshita Mai's eyes are now in a chaotic state due to shyness... But the feeling of being misunderstood by others as to whether something happened between her and Qingdeng made her eyes hide a faint joy in the chaos happy.

However, not all the people around are casting playful eyes and laughing at her and Qingdeng now.

For example...the chief commander who is still hanging on Qing Deng like a koala.

Because he was busy talking with the people who came to celebrate the victory one by one, Qingdeng forgot to let go of the chief executive in his arms. At this time, the two were still hugging each other tightly.

Ever since Qingdeng called Kinoshita Mai by his first name, the director's eyes became even more "out of focus".

With a dazed expression as if half asleep and half awake, she used mechanical movements to turn her lifeless eyes back and forth on Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai.

It's worth mentioning that the chief executive himself didn't realize that the expression on her face was completely different from the others around her...

Because the attention of the people around is currently focused on Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai, so no one has noticed the strangeness of the chief executive at the moment.

Even Qingdeng, who was hugging tightly with the general manager, who was close to him, didn't notice that the general manager in his arms was scanning him and Kinoshita Mai back and forth with an indescribable expression.

"My relationship with Ah Wu has always been very good."

While playing off Hijikata's teasing casually, Qingdeng shifted his body a little, and stood between Kinoshita Mai, Hijikata and the others, protecting Kinoshita Mai behind him.

Qingdeng didn't explain how the address between himself and Kinoshita Mai changed. This kind of thing is too long to explain, and it is not easy to explain. If there is an opportunity later, I will discuss the reasons in detail with the earthwork and the others.

At that time, Qingdeng finally realized that he was still clinging to the chief executive.

"Ah! Hug, sorry..."

Qingdeng quickly apologized, while letting go of his hands - but the chief executive did not fall down.

Being 20 centimeters shorter than Qingdeng's, the Chief Secretary with his arms still tightly wrapped around Qingdeng's neck hung directly in midair with his two little feet—in a real physical sense, hanging from Qingdeng's neck. body.

If it was in the past when he didn't know the identity of the chief executive's daughter, then Qingdeng wouldn't mind having more intimate interactions with his good brother who worked together to win the competition.

However, at the moment when you know the "true face" of the general manager, hugging the general manager closely... This is not appropriate.

After hearing Qingdeng's apology, the director seemed to have come to his senses, and his eyes regained some brilliance.

"No, nothing, no need to apologize..."

The chief hesitated for a while, then slowly let go of his arms, separated from Qingdeng's body, and his two little feet fell back to the ground with a "click".

Kinoshita Mai should never have imagined it...Qingdeng has been hugging a beautiful girl who is not inferior to her just now...

Suddenly, after Kinoshita Wu, another voice quite familiar to Qingdeng sounded from not far away.

"Yo! Mr. Tangerine!"

It was the voice of Chiba Shigetaro.

A group of people from the Little Chiba Sword Hall headed by Qianye Dingji walked towards them in a mighty manner.

"Mmm..."

After seeing Sanako walking beside Chiba Shigetaro, Kinoshita Mai froze immediately as if she was facing an enemy, then moved her lotus steps lightly, and stood a little closer to Qingdeng, her pair of beautiful eyes widened. It was round and round, staring straight at Zanako like a kitten defending its territory.

It's a pity that Kinoshita Mai's behavior is purely useless.

Because Sanako, who had been looking at Qingdeng, didn't even glance at Mai Kinoshita...

"Mr. Ju, congratulations." Qingdeng's old friend, Shannan Jingzhu, showed a refined and sincere smile, and expressed his unpretentious words of congratulations in a sincere tone.

After finishing speaking, Keisuke Shannan turned his eyes, and scanned the faces of everyone in the test hall, such as Qingdeng, Zongsi, Kondo, Hijikata, etc.

"It's really a sword gym with a good atmosphere..." Keisuke Shannan murmured in a volume that only he could hear clearly.

Chiba Singkichi led the people in the Little Chiba Sword Gym, and congratulated the Trial Guard Gym for winning the competition without pretentiousness.

"Mr. Ju, when did you learn the swordsmanship of our Beichen Yidao style?"

Suddenly, Chiba Shigetaro asked Qingdeng this question with a curious expression on his face.

In order to defeat Chiba Tamon Shiro, Qingdeng used the classic opening moves and classic moves of Beichen's one-sword style-this scene surprised many people.

The general manager, Zhou Zhu, Kondo and others who lived under the same roof as Qingdeng didn't know when Qingdeng "stealed" Beichen Yidaoliu.

Therefore, after hearing Chiba Shigetaro ask this question, they immediately focused their attention on Qingdeng.

"I learned it unconsciously."

Qing Deng replied with a smile.

"Besides the natural Lixin style, the school of swordsmanship I have been exposed to the most is Beichen Yidao style. So before I knew it, I learned some moves in Beichen Yidao style."

Not lying or perfunctory.

Qingdeng was telling the truth without any adulteration.

The talent for swordsmanship hundreds of times higher than that of ordinary people, the heart of ghosts, and the concentration of gods... It is already difficult to measure Qingdeng's current swordsmanship talent with specific rhetoric and figures.

Qingdeng has a clear feeling: the current him, in learning any knowledge and skills related to swordsmanship, the speed of mastering and improving is unimaginably fast!

No need to study hard. Generally speaking, almost all sword skills only need to be watched carefully a few times, and the principle can be seen through and imitated.

It is true that Qingdeng had subconsciously mastered a lot of Beichen Issou-style sword skills during his daily interactions with Sanako, Chiba Shigetaro and other Beichen Issou-style swordsmen.

If someone else said that he learned these Beichen Yidao-style sword skills unconsciously, then Chiba Shigetaro and the others would probably think that this person is insincere and unwilling to tell the truth.

But Qingdeng said this kind of words, so Chiba Shigetaro and the others felt very convinced.

After all, what a genius Qing Deng is, everyone has already known it.

They have long been accustomed to seeing all kinds of incredible things and all kinds of admirable feats in Qingdeng.

"... Mr. Tangerine."

Suddenly, a deep male voice that made Qingdeng raise his eyebrows sounded from behind him.

Qingdeng turned around, and saw Chiba Dosaburo, Chiba Tomonshiro and a group of people from the Xuanwu Hall walking slowly towards them.

The victorious army met the defeated army... The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

Most of the Xuanwukan swordsmen, represented by Chiba Tomonshiro, stared at Qingdeng and the others with a dignified expression... Strong resentment, resentment, and disbelief beautifully rubbed into their eyes among.

We actually lost to the test guard who had been our defeat before... Such a result is really unacceptable to us—— Chiba Tamon Shiro and others' gazes expounded such information.

Although they successfully defeated the Xuanwu Hall, the people on the side of the Weiwei Hall did not show any obvious complacency... They are not idiots. It would be more accurate to say "Xuanwukan lost to Qingdeng, Soji, Kondo, Hijikata and Inoue".

Basically, Qingdeng and the other five were all responsible for the output. Most of the "heads" were obtained by Qingdeng, and the rest basically did not make any useful contributions.

Qingdeng and Zongsi didn't show complacent expressions, so how could the rest of them have the right to show off?

Compared with Chiba Tamonshiro and others, Chiba Michizaburo's expression is much calmer.

He met Qing Deng's eyes calmly.

"Mr. Ju, the knife-drawing technique you used to break through my defenses and smash my porcelain bowl...is it your own creation? Does it have a name?"

"Yeah." Qingdeng nodded without thinking, "I created it myself. The name...haven't decided yet."

Qingdeng promised Tongsheng that he would not reveal to anyone that he was the real identity of the well-known "ship-slashing swordsman" Mamiya Kurō.

Therefore, Qingdeng can neither say that he learned the sword-drawing technique from Kiryu, nor reveal the name of the move.

Those who know who Mamiya Kuro is, most of them know that Mamiya Kuro's famous skill is "Liu Guang", a super fast sword-drawing technique that doesn't hear the sound of the knife until the victim is hit by the knife.

Suddenly, Qingdeng suddenly realized that the frequency of his "Fraudster" seems to be a bit too frequent during this time...

Seeing Qingdeng's answer, Chiba Michizaburo didn't ask any more questions.

"It's a powerful and domineering move. If you used a real knife and scabbard to perform this move just now, even if I use my best two knives to block, I may not be able to catch it perfectly."

Qingdeng modestly responded to Chiba Michizaburo's praise.

——I don’t know how everyone will react if they know that I have only practiced this “esoteric art” for more than ten days.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help laughing in his heart because he found it interesting.

Among all the people present, only Kiryu and Kinoshita Mai were quite clear: Qingdeng officially started to practice sword drawing at the beginning of this month.

Although with the blessing of Qingdeng's exaggerated swordsmanship ability, just ten days of training is comparable to ordinary people's hard training for 1 or 2 years, but such a short training time still makes people feel a little uncertain .

In addition, Qingdeng had never used Liuguang in actual combat before, so until the moment before he slashed out with the knife, Qingdeng was in a nervous mood—worried about whether he could execute the moves perfectly.

Fortunately, the final result was quite perfect. Not only did he draw the knife out of the "sheath" beautifully, but he also successfully smashed Chiba Michizaburo's porcelain bowl.

After paying this simple compliment to Qing Deng, Chiba Michizaburo silently turned his attention to the chief executive standing side by side with Qing Deng.

"Okita-kun, what about you? Is your triple stab move your own? Does it have a name?"

"Hmm..." The chief nodded lightly, "It's my own creation. Because it started with 'Ping Qingyan', I named it 'Ping Qingyan Three Duans'."

"Profound technique...'Pingqingyan three-stage thrust'... Your profound technique, can you only stab three times in a row?"

"Yes." The director general laughed a few times, "At present, I can barely do three consecutive stabs. After the third stab, I can't hold back my body."

People with a little eyesight and martial arts ability can see the most terrifying part of Zouji's "Pingqingyan three-stage sudden attack". "The speed of regrouping"!

After thrusting out the sword with all the strength in his body, in the next instant, with his perfect skill and unmatched muscle explosiveness, he drew the sword back in front of his body, and put it back into the flat blue-eyed posture...Three swords were stabbed in a row.

Because the "speed of rearranging posture" was too fast, the three swords stabbed at the opponent "almost simultaneously"!

The time left for the opponent to defend or dodge is extremely short.

As strong as Chiba Michizaburo, he couldn't completely defend against the three swords of the chief commander!

A miraculous skill that fully deserves the name of "Profound Truth".

It's a pity that this move also has quite obvious shortcomings - it is a particularly heavy burden on the chief's body.

Just like what the chief executive said just now: for her now, three stabs in a row is the limit, and after the third stab, she will be unable to send the fourth stab because she can't stop her body.

But—the flaws do not conceal the virtues.

Even with such a big defect, it doesn't prevent Chiba Michizaburo from giving the general manager a favorable look at this moment.

"...A great mystery. Thank you for your hospitality today. I am convinced that I lost today's game."

The first half of Chiba Michizaburo's sentence was addressed to the general manager, and the second half of his sentence was addressed to everyone in the Chaoshiwei Hall.

After finishing speaking, Chiba Michizaburo bowed slightly, and bowed to Qingdeng and the others in front of him, neither humble nor overbearing.

The owner of the hall took the lead in saluting, and it is impossible for Chiba Tamon Shiro and his disciples to remain indifferent.

No matter how unwilling people are to be reconciled to today's defeat, they can only hold back their inner resentment at this time, and respectfully follow Chiba Michizaburo and salute Qingdeng and others.

Seeing this, Qingdeng and the others hurriedly bowed to return the salute.

Up until just now, the subtle atmosphere that had been permeating the surroundings suddenly dissipated a lot in the next moment when people from both sides saluted each other.

at this time--

"Hahaha, what a wonderful 'red and white battle'!"

"Huh?" Qingdeng followed his voice with puzzled eyes.

The person who yelled was an old man with an old face and a long gray beard.

This old man was walking slowly towards Qingdeng and the others with his hands behind his back, followed by a young warrior with well-proportioned facial features.

Qingdeng didn't know this young warrior, but he felt that the old man looked familiar...

Before Qingdeng could think about whether he had met this old man before, he heard Chiba Dingji laugh a few times:

"Mr. Saito. Long time no see."

"Hahahaha." The old man stroked his beard, "Mr. Chiba, I have been sending you my greetings for a long time, but please forgive me."

Hearing Chiba Singkichi call this old man "Mr. Saito", Qingdeng immediately remembered why he felt that this old man looked familiar - this person was "Saito of Power" Yakuro Saito!

At the Aizu Marquis Swordsmanship Competition a few months ago, Qingdeng had met Yakuro Saito, so he thought he looked familiar.

After a brief exchange of greetings with Chiba Sadakichi, Saito Yakuro straightened his head, and returned his gaze to Qingdeng and the others.

"Hahaha, some of you may not know me, so let me introduce myself! I am Saito Yakuro from the training hall! How are you!"

Yakuro Saito stated his name carelessly in such a familiar tone. Then he reached out and pointed at the young warrior standing right behind him.

"This is my disciple."

"first meet!"

As soon as Yakuro Saito finished speaking, the young samurai puffed out his chest and reported to the house with a loud voice.

"I'm Fandai, a member of the Changzhou clan and the teacher of the military training hall: Katsura Kogoro!"

After finishing speaking, the young warrior who called himself "Gui Xiaowulang" cast his piercing eyes on Qingdeng, and changed the topic:

"King Ni! I have admired your great name for a long time! I am honored to meet you today, and I am sincerely afraid!"

Gui Xiaowulang talked about his admiration for Qingdeng in a sincere tone.

After learning about your great deeds against the barbarians alone, I admire it very much. I came to watch the game today just to see you... and so on.

Qingdeng looked at Gui Xiaowulang with a bewildered expression.

It wasn't because he was intimidated by Katsura Kogoro's enthusiasm.

There are "fans" or people who respect themselves, and they come to say hello with excitement - Qingdeng has long been used to this kind of scene, and he is no stranger to it.

The reason why Qingdeng showed such an expression was because Gui Xiaowulang's name made him feel very concerned.

Seeing the timing when Gui Xiaowulang paused, Qingdeng cautiously asked in a tentative tone:

"You said you were called 'wig'?"

"Not a wig is Gui!"

Katsura Kogoro corrected Qingdeng's misunderstanding of his name with a helpless tone that seemed to be accustomed to this situation.

...

...

Saito Yakuro, who came suddenly, did not say any special and complicated words to everyone.

Just come to say hello, and then congratulate the test guard who won the competition.

It is worth mentioning that probably only Yakuro Saito looked at Qingdeng and the general manager with admiring eyes when he was speaking.

I can't say why... Perhaps it was because of a big oolong who accidentally pronounced "Gui" as a "wig", and Qingdeng inexplicably remembered the name "Gui Xiaowulang" and this person's face.

...

...

At this very moment—

Edo, Gofubashi, Kitabansho, Kitabansho-cho Susui's office——

"Master Susui, is everything you said true?"

Qingdeng's immediate superior and senior: Arima Hideyuki looked at Susui who was sitting behind the desk with a shocked face.

"Yes. It's true." Susui nodded with a strange expression, "The news is absolutely true. There is no falsehood."

"This..." Arima seemed to be having trouble accepting the reality before his eyes, showing a tangled expression, "Although I expected Tachibana-kun to have a chance to be promoted this time, it's also..."

"This is something decided by the people above, and we can't say anything more."

Susui shrugged.

"In short, Arima, please help me to inform Mr. Ju later."

"From November 1st, he will be the new 'Huofu Thief Kai Third Team Leader and Xianshou Bow Team Seventh Division Leader'! Let him make mental preparations early."

"Then, let him take advantage of these few days to take out the dress to wash and dry it."

"Don't be rude when you meet the general on August 28."
