Chapter 321 Qingdeng vs Twin Female Ninjas! 【Leopard 9200】
"Lord Nioh."
While Otsuki and his wife were still surrounded by an extremely oppressive atmosphere, Kitahara Konosuke turned around and said to Qingdeng:
"Dayue Changci has been brought here, and there are no missing arms or legs."
Qing Deng nodded:
"Thank you for your understanding and generosity."
Konosuke Kitahara shrugged.
"You're welcome. I just kept my promise."
Speaking of this, Konosuke Kitahara's voice suddenly paused.
Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he looked at Qingdeng from head to toe several times with... long eyes that seemed to contain thousands of words.
Aoto, who noticed Konosuke Kitahara's gaze, was about to ask what Konosuke Kitahara was looking at—
"My lord, you are very handsome."
"……ha?"
Qingdeng looked at Konosuke Kitahara who suddenly made such a violent comment with a dazed expression.
Konosuke Kitahara ignored Aidou's astonished expression, and continued to say in an emotionally elusive tone:
"In time...you will definitely grow into a good face that exudes awe-inspiring righteousness."
Qingdeng's facial features are really good, although it is not Pan An's appearance, but it is not a popular face that cannot be found in the crowd.
Therefore, being praised for being good-looking - this is not a rare thing for Qingdeng.
What Qingdeng wondered was why Konosuke Kitahara would praise him for being handsome without any foreshadowing...
And the tone and demeanor are so affectionate...
--Could it be that……? !
A bad guess emerged in Qingdeng's heart.
In this era, Taoism is the favorite of many people—the thought of Taoism flashed across Qingdeng's mind.
In an instant, Qingdeng felt a tightness in his lower body.
"Uh...haha, thank you for the compliment..."
With an extremely unnatural expression, Qingdeng laughed dryly and laughed.
After abruptly boasting about Pan Qingdeng's appearance, Kitahara Konosuke didn't say anything strange.
Dayue Changci has been rescued, and Qingdeng and others have no reason to stay in Renwu anymore, so they leave aloud.
Konosuke Kitahara personally sent Aoto and his party away.
During the whole process of being sent off by Konosuke Kitahara in person, Qingdeng was always in a state of anxiety.
He was afraid that Konosuke Kitahara would break out some violent remarks, or throw at him "Master Nioh, do you want to have a supper together later", "Master Nioh, are you free on such and such a date, do you want to come with me?" Going out to enjoy the snow" and other issues.
Fortunately, none of these situations happened.
Qingdeng and his party left Renwu calmly, walked away, and disappeared into the night.
...
...
Da Yuechang returned to Da Yueshi's side in a complete and complete way - so far, Qing Dengyuan has fulfilled his promise to Da Yueshi.
The kindness with Otsuki Mino's father, Miyagawa Shunzo... From now on, the two will be cleared up, and no one will owe anyone any more.
Although theoretically speaking, since he left the office, Qingdeng can no longer have regular meetings with Da Yueshi about his life and death, and can just pat his ass and leave, but after all, Qingdeng still can't do such a cruel and ruthless thing.
Although the "radical anti-barbarian movement" in Edo has subsided a lot after the defeat of the barbarian group, and the security situation in Edo has improved a lot, but it is far from safe enough for a woman who doesn't know martial arts at all and an injured future Healed man, swaying around in the streets late at night.
Holding the mentality of "sending the Buddha to the west", Qingdeng decided to give Dayue and his wife a ride and send them back to the hotel where they were staying.
On the way back to the hotel, no matter whether Otsuki Changci or Otsuki Shi, none of them said a word, the silence was terrible.
The couple stopped talking honestly and didn't even look at each other.
Otsuki Changci buried his head low, and the expression on his face was dominated by strong shame and embarrassment.
Da Yueshi's head was also lowered. Her eyes kept staring at the ground in front of her toes, her expressionless demeanor made it hard to fathom what she was thinking right now.
It is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, especially such a dispute between husband and wife.
Therefore, Qingdeng kept silent in a very sensible manner, allowing the atmosphere around them to remain silent.
After spending nearly 30 minutes, the group finally arrived safely at the hotel where Otsuki and his wife lived.
"Mr. Tangerine..."
Da Yueshi turned around and said softly to Qingdeng in a very lethargic tone:
"Tonight... thank you very much..."
Qingdeng didn't say much, just nodded his head slowly and replied "Yes".
Otsuki on the side often chimed in:
"Lord Nioh! Your great kindness! I will never forget it!"
Otsuki Changci's expression was extremely sincere, and his attitude was extremely humble.
Seeing that he had just finished speaking, he immediately bent down and wanted to kneel down to the ground.
Otsuki Changci still has not recovered from the shock of "I was rescued?" and the ecstasy of "I was rescued!".
Thinking back more than 3 months ago, he was still a high-spirited young rich and young man.
Look at the present... I have to say that fate is really a kind of magical existence.
Fengshui turns in turn-this saying of the ancients is really wonderful.
It can also be seen from it that during the period when Otsuki was often captured by Konosuke Kitahara, how miserable his life was.
Qingdeng had no doubts about Yakuza's methods of torturing people, and the cruelty of Kitahara Konosuke, who was able to utter the terrifying words "sinking Edo Bay" in a flat, homely tone.
Da Yue Chang was able to regain freedom with a complete body and a sound mind... It is really not ordinary luck.
Qingdeng stretched out his arms quickly, and supported Da Yue's body before Chang's knees touched the ground.
"Don't thank me."
Qingdeng said coldly.
"If you want to thank, thank your wife. The person who really saved you is Miss Da Yue, not me."
What Qingdeng said was absolutely true.
Neither being humble nor polite.
If it wasn't for Da Yueshi's desperate request for his help, Qingdeng wouldn't be bothered to care about Da Yue Changci's life and death.
When Da Yue heard the words often, he froze for a moment. Then he turned his head and looked at Da Yueshi beside him.
The moment his gaze touched Da Yueshi's pretty face, he immediately looked away as if he had been stabbed by the intense rays of the sun.
At the same time, that embarrassing emotion once again filled his entire face.
Da Yue Chang often did not even look at Da Yue Shi.
How the couple should deal with their relationship issues in the future - about this, Qingdeng has nothing to do with it, nor does he want to.
He has successfully sent the two of them back to the hotel, and has done everything that should be done. The rest of the journey is left to the couple who have gone through ups and downs. Qingdeng has no interest or obligation to interfere or intervene.
"Miss Dayue, Mr. Dayue, take care of yourself. It's late at night, you must rest early, and I will take my leave first."
Qing Deng paused, and added:
"See you soon."
Qingdeng, who specially used this kind of phrasing, bowed slightly to the couple facing him, then turned and left without any hesitation.
Zuo Nazi followed Qingdeng closely with small steps.
Da Yueshi, who was standing in a daze outside the hotel gate, cast straight, dazed glances at Qingdeng who was a little far away.
Qingdeng's figure had disappeared into the night, and she didn't look back, and continued to stare at the direction Qingdeng left. In the blink of an eye, the emotions are complicated and unspeakable.
"Uh... Ah Shi..."
Beside, Otsuki spoke often.
He took a deep breath, raised his spirits and said cautiously to Da Yueshi.
"W-It's cold outside, let's go inside quickly...?"
"..."
Otsuki turned her expressionless face sideways, facing Otsuki Changji - this was the first time she and Otsuki Changji looked at each other since Ren Wu left.
Looking at her husband's dirty and haggard face...Qingdeng's figure suddenly flashed past her eyes.
At this time, Da Yue suddenly recalled the idea that suddenly appeared in her mind this morning, and then took root in her heart:
(If I had chosen Tachibana-kun instead of Tonji... would I have lived a far better life than I am now?)
...
...
The low temperature filled the streets with a light blue mist filled with icy cold air.
It is now 22 o'clock in the evening.
At this point in time, the largest city in Japan has entered a deep sleep.
There was complete silence all around. Except for the sound of the wind from time to time, and the footsteps and footsteps of himself and Sanako who was walking side by side with him, Qingdeng could not hear any sound.
When the two of them reached an intersection, Sanako stopped and turned to look at the intersection on the east side in doubt.
"Mr. Ju, you are going too far. The test hall is in this direction."
Qingdeng then stopped, smiled, and pointed to the direction he was facing.
"But the Little Chiba Sword House is in this direction. The current security situation in Edo has not reached the point where you can't pick up lost items on the road. Miss Sanako, let me give you a ride."
"Don't underestimate me!"
Hearing what Qingdeng said, Sanazi, who had a strong temper and didn't want to be seen as a weak woman, immediately frowned, with an "unwilling" look on her face.
"I can protect myself without your escort."
Facing the displeasure-filled needle-pricking gaze from Sanako, Qingdeng seemed to have expected Sanako's reaction a long time ago, and said softly and slowly:
"Then let me put it another way - the snow scene in Edo tonight is beautiful, I want to step on the snow with you, is that okay?"
"Eh?"
The displeasure on Sanako's pretty face dissipated instantly.
She was at a loss, shifting her gaze, scanning her surroundings, as if to see if there were any outsiders around her, her hands folded in front of her, kneading together with twisting and tense force.
After scanning around her body and confirming that no third person heard Qingdeng's words just now, Sanako raised her gaze as if suppressing her embarrassment, and glared at Qingdeng.
Her appearance seemed to be asking Qingdeng: What are you talking about in broad daylight!
Qingdeng pretended not to understand the meaning in Sanako's eyes. He didn't wait for any reply from Sanazi, he leisurely set his feet again, and walked slowly towards the direction where the Little Chiba Sword Gym was located.
Seeing Qingdeng's self-assertion, Zuo Nazi looked hesitantly at Qingdeng's receding back, then lowered his head and looked at his own small toes.
After just over 5 seconds passed, she took a deep breath and chased Qingdeng.
In the process of keeping up with Qingdeng, she raised her hands, which had been frozen by the cold wind, and pressed them against her slightly hot cheeks, physically cooling her own face.
Qingdeng felt a shining breath chasing after him.
This breath stood on his right side without saying a word, shoulder to shoulder with him.
Qingdeng turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him.
The face of "the most beautiful woman in Edo" is within reach, so close that you can count every eyelash.
Sanako felt Qingdeng's gaze, but she seemed to want to be angry, and deliberately did not look at Qingdeng, her beautiful eyes stared straight ahead.
Qingdeng felt that Zuo Nazi's behavior was inexplicably cute, and couldn't help laughing.
The reason why he suddenly and forcefully expressed his desire to send Sanako home was not any weird reason, he just wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to be alone with Sanako tonight, to be by Sanako's side as much as possible. Stay a little longer.
Although he often visits Xiaoqianye Sword Hall on weekdays, there are not many opportunities to be alone with Sanako.
Qingdeng withdrew his gaze from looking at Zuo Nazi's pretty face, and looked at the distant sky, thinking about topics that he could use to talk to Zuo Nazi now.
But who knows, Sanako was the first to open the conversation.
"Mr. Ju, you made me lose face today."
"Um?"
Qing Deng was puzzled.
"It made you lose face? What do you mean?"
"Since you know archery, you should have said it earlier!"
Speaking of this, Zuo Nazi seemed unable to restrain his anger, turned his head, and looked at Qingdeng with resentful eyes.
"I'm so self-righteous as to introduce you to the skill of using a bow... really... really..."
Stimulated by the emotion of shame, Sanazi was at a loss for words for a while, his face was flushed, and his breathing became heavy.
Recalling the scene where Qing Deng carefully taught how to use a bow tonight... Zuo Nazi can't wait to find a crack in the ground and get in.
After hearing this, Qingdeng laughed a few times with an unnatural expression.
After a while, Sanako, who had adjusted his mood and demeanor, asked seriously:
"Mr. Ju, when did you start learning archery?"
Naturally, Sanako knew that with Qingdeng's family background, it was unlikely that he would be exposed to archery since he was a child, so he asked this question.
She was as curious as Konosuke Kitahara about why Qingdeng possessed superb bow skills.
"Hmm... well...Miss Sanako, I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to say this. I'll explain it to you slowly when I have a chance later."
The existence of the new imperial court fan needs to be kept absolutely secret.
And...Qingdeng felt that even if he was telling the truth, Sanako probably wouldn't believe it.
My archery was taught by His Highness Tianzhangyuan! That's right, it's the big imperial office: Duji of Tianzhangyuan!
Qingdeng felt that when he said this sentence, Sanako would be taken aback for a moment, and then stare at him as if he saw something ominous.
If the listener is replaced by Kinoshita Mai who is more emotional and sensitive... then she will not only cast a strange look at Qingdeng like Sanako, but also say with a sad face:
"Mr. Ju, I'm sorry, it's because Miss Chiba and I refused to marry you at the same time, which made you crazy about women..."
Sanako, who was born in a famous family and cultivated elegantly, is a good girl who is understanding and considerate.
Seeing that Qing Deng remained silent, she didn't press for further questions.
After taking a deep look at Qing Deng, she said:
"...Well, since it's not convenient for you to reveal the details now, then you can tell me later when you have a chance."
So much for the topic of archery—then, not long after, the two chatted about something else.
The person who started the conversation this time was still Sanako.
"Mr. Ju, Miss Otsuki's father and your father are good friends, right?"
"Huh? Yeah, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing... just suddenly realized: Although I have known you for a long time, I don't know anything about your family situation and your past. So..."
When Zuo Nazi said this, his voice stopped, and he bit his lower lip lightly with his upper teeth.
After a moment of hesitation on her face, she raised her beautiful eyes, looked directly into Qingdeng's eyes, and said forcefully:
"I want to hear you tell me about your past."
All kinds of events that happened today made Zuo Nazi suddenly realize that he didn't know much about Qingdeng.
I don't know that Qingdeng knows how to shoot bows; I don't know that Qingdeng has a childhood sweetheart; I don't know the love and resentment between Qingdeng and Da Yueshi...
These "I don't know" one after another turned into a wonderful "frustration" - this inexplicable frustration is like a thorn piercing into Zonako's heart.
Does the thorn go deep and hurt?
Not at all.
But it's hard to ignore the presence of this thorn.
It is like a bouquet of flowers blooming in an open green field. Even if you want to pretend to turn a blind eye, you can't stop it from breaking into your eyes again and again.
Sanako can't help but think: Ms. Kinoshita... this girl in red who always dislikes her, does she know about Tachibana-kun's past? Am I the only one who doesn't know anything about Qingdeng's past?
Sanako couldn't understand his feelings for Qingdeng more and more.
Tachibana-kun is just a very close friend with me—Sanako has always said that to herself.
But tonight, at this moment, she had a very strong urge to know more about this "good friend".
This impulse is like a flood breaking a bank, once it appears, it is out of control.
In the end, this impulse turned into an irresistible force of action, driving her lips and tongue to ask Qingdeng such straightforward questions.
However, as soon as the words were spoken, Sanako regretted it.
Influenced by the Yamato Nadeko education she learned since she was a child, Sanako has always held a conservative and cautious attitude towards relationship issues.
He didn't even cover it up, he didn't even use any euphemisms, and he just uttered such ambiguous words in the current era.
As a result, as soon as the embarrassing Sanazi uttered the phrase "I want to know more about you", he immediately looked away from Qingdeng's body in a daze.
Looking at the white snow in front of his toes, he dared not look at Qing Deng again.
Although the surrounding environment is very dark, the shy pink that is slowly climbing up Sanazi's cheeks at this moment is still clearly visible.
Qingdeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, his mind was shocked.
Doesn't he understand Sanako's personality?
Sanako is more reserved than the introverted Kinoshita Mai.
Such a girl actually asked such a bold question...
It is surprising.
Now that Zuo Nazi is so courageous, if Qingdeng doesn't respond to the other party as soon as possible, if he doesn't help him get out of the embarrassing emotion as soon as possible, it would be a bit too unkind.
"My past... Hahaha, this topic is not too interesting."
Qingdeng paused, digging into the memory of "Original Orange Qingdeng", while concentrating on where to start.
"My mother died shortly after I was born, so I don't have much memory of her."
"As for my father...his name is Tachibana Takayuki. 'Long' in Xinglong means 'Zhi' in Huzhe. Tongxin in Beifan's Dinghui."
"Well... If I want to elaborate on what kind of person my father is, then I really don't know what to say for a while."
"Simply put...he is a very ordinary, very ordinary person."
"Ordinary in appearance, ordinary in ability, and ordinary in political achievements. He has worked in the position assigned by Beifan for nearly twenty years."
"In the past twenty years, he has neither made any major mistakes, nor has he made any great achievements."
"Apart from being honest and honest, and being popular, my father doesn't seem to have any merits worth mentioning."
"It stands to reason that a person like my father who keeps himself safe and follows the rules should live his life peacefully but peacefully."
"As a result... I don't know when he made bad friends, or for some other reason, he suddenly became addicted to gambling. Every day he went to the casino owned by the Qingshui clan to play in the dark."
"No matter how lucky a person is, it is impossible to win money forever. Therefore, as long as you are addicted to gambling, you will end up losing and losing your fortune."
"It didn't take long for my father to lose all the money in the family and was charged with huge debts."
"Not long after my family became destitute due to my father's excessive gambling, my father died of illness."
"There's nothing more to say about the next thing."
"Although after my father became addicted to gambling, many people who had a good relationship with my father alienated him one after another."
"But there are still a group of people who will never leave their father from the beginning to the end."
"For example, those old colleagues of my father: Mr. Arima, Mr. Inotani, and Mr. Ushiyama."
"Another example is Otsuki Mi's father: Mr. Miyagawa Toshizo."
"Not only did they help organize my father's funeral, but they also helped me take over my father's post and help me successfully take over my father's official position."
"It can be said that I could not have what I am today without the help of these old friends of my father."
"Without the help of these seniors, I might have to earn a living by doing small jobs now."
Sanako played the role of a "listener" very well.
She listened quietly the whole time, without interjecting a word.
When she heard that Tachibana Longzhi was addicted to gambling, caused her family to bear huge debts, and later passed away due to illness, she raised her head and beautiful eyes, and looked at Qingdeng.
His face and eyes were filled with astonishment and regret.
"Then... have you paid off the debt owed by your father?"
"It's paid off...ah, no. It shouldn't be 'paid off', it should be said that it was canceled by the Yakuzas of the Shimizu clan."
"Exempted?"
"Well. After I became famous, the Qingshui clan probably wanted to win me over and curry favor with me. With a stroke of a pen, all the gambling debts left by my father were forgiven."
"That's it... that's good."
"All in all, my past is basically like this, and there is nothing worth mentioning."
Qing Deng smiled and shrugged.
"...um...uh...uh..."
Sanazi, who had always behaved gracefully, seemed hesitant to speak, hesitating.
Hearing the sound, Qingdeng turned his head and looked at her face.
I saw that Zuo Nazi refused to look at Qingdeng for a long time.
Even if their eyes meet for an instant, they shyly move away.
After a long while, Sanako said vaguely:
"That... Ju-kun... you... you... ah, please be sorry... that..."
Qingdeng heard it all at once: Zuo Nazi wanted to comfort him, to comfort him who had such a tragic past.
"Miss Sanako, thank you for your concern."
Qingdeng laughed.
"These things happened a long time ago, and I don't care anymore."
After finishing speaking, Qingdeng added in his heart:
——Tachibana-kun is not my real father after all...
Takashi Tachibana is the father of "Original Ju Qingdeng", not Qingdeng's.
When retrieving the memory of "Original Orange Qingdeng", Qingdeng felt like watching a movie.
He will be touched by the plot of the movie, but that's all. You won't love or hate a certain character in a movie just because you watched a movie.
Therefore, for Takayuki Tachibana's death, Qingdeng really didn't have any deep feelings.
Hearing what Qingdeng said, Zuo Nazi's face turned a little better.
Hoo hoo!
All of a sudden, gusts of cold wind mixed with sporadic snowflakes hit Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi head-on.
The cold coolness ran along the neckline of Zanazi into the clothes, and then rolled into the belly through two large and perfect hemispherical arcs.
Zuo Nazi, who was afraid of the cold, shivered suddenly, raised his arms, covered his stomach with one hand, and blocked his chest with the other.
Seeing this, Qingdeng pursed his lips thoughtfully, then as if he had made up his mind, he took half a step in the direction of Sanazi, stood closer to Sanazi, and then untied his neck The scarf on his head—only half untied—half remained around his neck, and the other half untied was gently wrapped around Sanako's swan neck.
In an instant, Sanako's beautiful eyes widened. She looked dumbfounded at the black scarf around her neck that was connecting her and Qingdeng together.
"Mr. Orange, what are you doing?"
Sanako pretended to be calm.
"That way, the wind doesn't get inside the clothes."
Qingdeng said with a smile.
"This... this... it would be bad if someone saw this..."
Sanako raised her eyes and glanced around worriedly, while raising her hand to grab the scarf, trying to take it off.
Before the scarf was untied, Qingdeng said with a smile:
"Take this as your thank you for accompanying me to rescue Otsuki tonight."
When Zuo Nazi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, and joked:
"Thank you gift? Isn't this thank you gift too simple and casual?"
"Hahaha, no matter what, anyway, please accept this little gift from me with peace of mind."
"..."
Sanako was still hesitating, but the speed at which she reached for the scarf slowed down a lot.
At this moment, Qingdeng gave a new "offensive" at the right time...or in other words, gave Zuo Nazi a new step to borrow a donkey downhill with peace of mind.
"If you catch a cold or catch a cold, it will affect your swordsmanship practice."
"...I really can't do anything about you."
Sanako's pair of jade hands, which were raised in mid-air to untie the scarf, continued to reach towards Fen's neck, grabbing the soft cloth with Qingdeng's body temperature -- no longer untie the scarf, but put the scarf away Tighter.
"...Don't take this as an example."
The profile of Sanako who said these words looked a little shy.
As if she didn't want Qingdeng to see her shy expression, she lowered her head and slid half of her face into the warm scarf.
"..."
"Don't laugh so strangely!"
Sanako finished speaking in a dissatisfied tone, and stared at Qingdeng viciously.
She did so, not only did not have any effect, but also had the opposite effect.
The corners of Qingdeng's mouth extended to the sides a little more, and the facial lines became more relaxed.
He was so excitedly immersed in this ordinary, but it made him feel very happy time.
"Ah, Miss Sanako, let me tell you some interesting things I experienced when I first started learning swords. I think you will be interested."
"Fun?"
The two walked away slowly.
The quiet night and the quiet mist gently enveloped the two figures who were connected to each other by a slender scarf.
At this moment, a strange feeling suddenly rose in Qingdeng's heart:
The distance between him and Sanako... seems to be a little closer.
Body to body is drawn closer.
Heart to heart is also drawn closer.
...
...
At this very moment—
Edo, Renya——
"I'm sorry, Lord Beiyuan. I'm not good at skills, which caused you to lose."
As Kojiro Oishi said, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head.
Although he said "sorry" on his mouth and apologized on his face, his acting skills are really bad, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the apology on his face is too fake, and he is not sincerely apologizing at all.
Kitahara Konosuke glanced at him without sadness or joy, and waved his hand:
"This matter is not your fault. You have tried your best, and it is not shameful to lose to Nioh. You can step back and rest."
"yes."
Konosuke Kitahara watched Oishi Konosuke leave, then leaned back and lay down on the soft tatami mat, staring straight at the brown ceiling without blinking.
His gaze seemed to be looking somewhere far away, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking at the moment.
Time shifted, in the empty room, a self-deprecating sneer suddenly sounded.
"Heh...Ju Longzhi...Ju Qingdeng...these two father and son really look alike..."
Bei Yuan slowly flattened the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised due to the sneer, and the self-deprecating smile turned into a dignified solemnity.
"The two fathers and sons are not only similar in appearance, but also in their behavior. They both love to stand up for others... Hmph... Takashi Tachibana, you are such a fool. If you could have listened to me and stopped in time, you wouldn't have It ended up like this."
...
...
Koujiro Oishi folded his arms around his chest, and swaggered out of the door of Renya.
The oncoming cold wind forced him to raise his hand to tighten the skirt of the cotton coat and the scarf around his neck.
When he raised his hand to cover the gap between the skirt and his body, his fingers accidentally touched his chest, touching the part that was hit by Qingdeng's straight stab just now.
The pain has faded...but the memory of being knocked into the air still vividly remains in Oishi Koujiro's mind.
For a long time in the future, this memory should not dissipate.
Oishi Koujiro touched his chest and grinned:
"It's really amazing... It's been a long time since I met such a master. I don't know if there will be a chance to fight Nioh again..."
After muttering to himself like this, Kojiro Oishi shrugged his shoulders, pulled himself together, and with a faint smile on his face, he stepped forward, and his fading figure melted into the embrace of the night.
...
...
In the first year of Wanyan (1860), December 25——
Edo, Tsukimiya Shrine, in a certain house——
Qingdeng bent his knees, the cat lowered his body, and moved forward slowly against the wall next to him in a motion similar to a half-squat, turning his head and eyes sideways frequently, scanning his surroundings.
At this moment, Qingdeng was wearing a strange attire.
The head is covered with a face scarf and turban, and only a pair of eyes are exposed on the whole face; the clothes on the upper body and lower body are not common kimonos, but tight-fitting clothes that do not hinder movement at all.
From head to toe, all the fabrics are the same color, an inky shade that blends in with the darkness of the night.
Boom, boom, boom...!
Qingdeng's eyes burst out with menacing brilliance, and he turned his head to the right with such force that he seemed to break his own neck——although the voice was very faint, his ears really heard it. : Someone is approaching! On the ceiling!
Snapped!
Qingdeng's line of sight will move to his right, and before he can even focus his eyes, he hears a muffled "snap" - 5 steps away from his right hand side, a board of the ceiling falls down.
Along with this board, there are 2 petite and lovely black shadows!
The ones who came were Qingdeng's "Master Yunliu Footwork" and "Master Yunliu Strange Skills" - "Double Sisters"!
The iconic maiden uniform with white top and red bottom is gone. Instead, it was a dark blue dress that was exactly the same style as what Qingdeng was currently wearing.
As soon as the two sisters showed up, they gave Qingdeng a warm welcome gift—they both pulled out the unsharpened wakizashi from their back waists, and on their cute little hands that were smaller than Qingdeng's slap The moment the little feet hit the ground...
A cute tiger in the palm of your hand!
The two sisters rushed towards Qingdeng, one on the left, one on the right, and one in front of the other.
Seeing this, Qingdeng pulled out the only weapon he was carrying without hesitation - a wakizari tied around his left waist.
His wakizasa, like the one used by the "Double Sisters", has no edge, just a big iron blade.
It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, the "Second Sisters" who deceived themselves had already arrived in front of Qingdeng, and their movements were like flowing clouds and flowing water.
call!
call!
Two bursts of breaking wind exploded in no particular order.
The wordless elder sister, Sazhong, swung a knife and hit Qing Deng's left wrist.
Yae, the rough younger sister, attacked Qingdeng's right waist.
The two knives are as fast as electricity, carrying a powerful power that can't be careless in the slightest.
Take a deep breath, take a half-step back with your right leg, and use the upward strokes twice in a row——Qingdeng completed these movements in an instant.
clang!
clang!
On the empty corridor, two unheard metal and iron chimes sounded consecutively.
With the inertia of slashing, the positions of the two sides switched—then the three knives clashed again.
The relationship between Qingdeng and the "Second Sisters" has always been very good, why did they fight for no reason?
To sum it up in one sentence - Tianzhangyuan wanted to see how Qingdeng's Yunliu Ninjutsu was doing so far, so they sent "Double Sisters" to check it out.
