I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Bitch! You are so brave! How dare you kick my knife!"

A disheveled, burly man with nothing on his body that looked like a beggar, except for the two long and short knives on his waist, took a step across and blocked the way forward of Tianzhangyuan.

"What do you want to do?"

Tianzhangyuan frowned slightly, and his eyes, neither sad nor happy, swept across the faces of the wanderers from left to right.

The group of uninvited guests who suddenly burst out from the slanting stab and surrounded the mother and son of Tianzhang Courtyard, without exception, all had a particularly classic image of "jobless vagrants".

The tattered clothes were so dirty that the original color could not be seen.

I don't know how long I haven't washed my hair, and my scalp and dandruff are covered with hoarfrost.

From the point of view of hair style, some people had a beautiful moon hair before, but these men who were shaved cleanly and neatly in the past have grown into mature hair because they have not been taken care of for a long time. "There is a layer of prickly short hair on the top of the head, but the hair on the left and right temples is lush, and it looks like a virgin forest with teeth and claws."

The dirt on his face was so thick that it was almost clumping together. But even so, they still couldn't hide their sallow complexions and slightly sunken cheeks.

It can be seen that this group of people must have not eaten a decent meal for a while, and their nutritional intake is seriously insufficient.

Up to 1 second ago, Qingdeng, who was still on the ground saying to Yae "don't be so nervous", is now stunned in place with a bewildered expression.

Yazhong on the side raised his eyes and cast a meaningful look at Qingdeng.

Junior, as you said, "the public security in Edo is not so bad that you will encounter accidents when you go out"—although she didn't say it clearly, Yae used her eyes to convey this message to Qing very well. ascend.

Qingdeng sensed Yae's "deep" gaze... He vaguely felt a tingling sensation coming from his own face.

However, embarrassment is embarrassment. No one needs to remind him, Qingdeng also knows that now is not the time to care about these trivial matters.

As if they heard a starting gun at the same time announcing "It's time to race", Qingdeng and the second sister stepped forward at the same time, forming a simple human wall, separating the mother and son of Tianzhang Courtyard from the wanderers.

"Huh? Who are you?"

Seeing Qingdeng and the others who suddenly appeared, the burly man who just angrily scolded Tianzhangyuan in a ferocious tone for "how dare you kick my knife with his feet" frowned and his face darkened.

"Are you this stinky bitch's companion?"

"Hey, keep your mouth clean for me."

Yae's voice was as deep as her complexion.

"Let me hear the words 'stinky bitch' again, be careful I will tear your mouth! Break your tongue!"

Sazhong didn't exhale the fragrance directly like Yae, but the anger and depression on her face were no less than her sister's.

In the eyes of the sisters, Tianzhangyuan is the god of this world.

The gods they believe in are so humiliated by others...how can they not be angry?

Facing Yae's threat... the burly man was not only indifferent, but even ridiculed.

"Tear my mouth apart? Hmph, hum, hum!"

A sinister and sinister laugh burst out from the burly man's nose, and he laughed so hard that his shoulders shook vigorously.

The rest of the ronin were laughing too, laughing all over the place, throwing themselves up and down.

"OK!"

The burly man had his hands on his hips, his toes so high that he almost wrote the word "arrogant" directly on his forehead.

"Come here! I want to see how you, a dwarf who can't touch my dick even if you stand on tiptoe, are trying to tear my mouth apart!"

After finishing speaking, the burly man straightened up obscenely.

After Tianzhangyuan, even himself was humiliated. Yae's small face was instantly covered with dark clouds.

She suddenly lowered her waist and spread her hands and fingers.

Just when she was about to give this bastard who spoke harshly a lesson, a small hand pressed down on her shoulder from behind.

"Yazhong." Tianzhangyuan bent down, put his mouth close to Yazhong's ear, and said softly, "Be safe and don't be impatient."

Yae turned around and looked at Tianzhangyuan.

Through the eyes of Tianzhangyuan, Yazhong understood the meaning of Tianzhangyuan: They are here to visit in a low-level service, one more thing is worse than one less thing, and it is not necessary to make a very eye-catching incident.

The two sisters have never disobeyed the orders given by the "gods".

Therefore, Yae gritted his teeth vigorously despite all the unwillingness in his heart, and then slowly released the "combat posture" while glaring at the burly man.

"Mr. Tangerine."

Qingdeng smelled the warm breath and pleasant body fragrance of Tianzhangyuan.

Even without turning his head, Qingdeng knew that Tianzhangyuan was standing behind him.

"May I ask you?"

Compared with the Erzhong sisters, Qingdeng, who has been in charge of Edo's security work for many years, should be better at dealing with this kind of situation-Tianzhangyuan should have this kind of thinking in mind to deal with the current "sudden accident" Let Qingdeng fully entrust the heavy responsibility.

Qingdeng nodded lightly without turning his head, then raised his chin, looked neither humble nor overbearing at the burly man standing directly opposite him, who was half a head taller than him, and said calmly:

"Who are we... This kind of thing is not important. Instead, I want to ask you—what are you trying to do? Why are you blocking our way?"

"Hmph! This stinky bitch kicked my favorite knife just now!"

The burly man raised his big hairy hand and pointed to the Tianzhang Courtyard behind Qingdeng.

"I see that you also wear a sword on your waist. Since you are also a warrior, you should understand what a 'sword' means to a warrior!"

The more excited the brawny man was, he patted on the back of his waist a tattered sword whose sheath and the handle of the handle were about to fall off.

"The 'Samurai Soul' has been defiled, I cannot remain indifferent!"

After finishing speaking, as if he wanted to put pressure on Qingdengfang and the others, the burly man took a big step forward, in the direction of Qingdeng and the others.

At almost the same time, his accomplices stepped forward in unison, greatly shrinking the encirclement net.

At this time, a clear male voice intervened between Qingdeng and the burly man who were confronting each other.

"What do you mean by 'the soul of a samurai is defiled'? Are you too unreasonable?"

I saw Iemo Tokugawa, who had been silent just now, suddenly made a sound and frowned slightly, with a touch of sullenness appearing between the delicate eyebrows.

"Your knife was kicked - this is clearly your own problem. You don't even look at where this place is. There are so many people here, but you insist on hanging the knife horizontally on your waist. It's obviously your own You are negligent, but not only do you not reflect on yourself, but you turn your head around and blame others, so what is your intention?"

The burly man who was suddenly ridiculed by the sharp sarcasm froze for a moment, then followed the sound with a reflexive speed.

Seeing that the person who scolded him was just a young man with a very immature face, the burly man's mouth immediately turned away, and a strong look of disdain suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Huh? What kind of thing are you? My knife, I can wear it however I like!"

After speaking plausibly, the burly man raised his chin arrogantly and looked at Iemo Tokugawa with his nostrils.

Language ridicule + nostrils to see people... Being treated so rudely, Tokugawa Jiashige did not get angry.

He lowered his hands naturally, looking directly at the burly man.

Eyes without a trace of waves, like clear water in an ancient well.

Then, something incredible happened.

"Well……?!"

The burly man seemed to have seen something unimaginable suddenly, and blinked his eyes vigorously a few times.

From the perspective of the burly man, he really saw now... a grotesque scene that could make his expression change.

Obviously, the boy in front of him looks to be only 14 or 5 years old, and he is still a kid with no hair.

It is normal for a young man of this age to be ignorant of world affairs, youthful and frivolous, childish in character, and still wet.

It should be so...

But what is amazing is that on the face of the young man in front of him, there is no trace of childishness or evil spirit that is unique to young people.

His eyes... seem to be lodged with an extraordinary magic power...

When he stared straight at him like this, there was a strange feeling of wanting to stay away from him and reject his gaze.

In fact, the burly man did exactly that.

He belatedly noticed that his right foot had taken a step back.

He had no memory of when he retreated.

In an instant, anger turned from embarrassment to anger dominated the expression of the burly man.

——I was scared back by a look from a kid who was less than half my age?

"Hisao, what's wrong with you?"

The rogues beside the burly man noticed the abnormality in front of him.

Bunches of puzzled and puzzled eyes focused on the burly man like searchlights.

I felt like a burly man being roasted on the stove, and suddenly felt that the blood in my whole body was rushing to the top of my head.

Just as the burly man was thinking about how to save his face——

"... let's talk."

Qingdeng asked slowly in a voice without ups and downs.

"How can you give up and stop pestering us?"

Qingdeng's sudden speech unintentionally gave the burly man a step forward - he could logically get over the embarrassment of being scared off by Tokugawa Iemo's eyes.

The burly man quickly cleared his throat vigorously, and then he walked down the steps and borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"Give it up? What silly things are you talking about?"

The burly man stepped on his feet, took a long and deep breath with a "hiss", and sank to his dantian—the next moment, a hurricane-like sound burst from his throat.

"The soul of a samurai has been defiled by others, how can you tell me to let it go!!"

The thunderous roar of the burly man immediately attracted more onlookers.

"What's the matter? What's the matter? What happened?"

"It seems that the woman kicked that ronin's knife, and that ronin is asking for an explanation."

"It's 'sheath'..."

"Is the ronin making trouble again... Enough is enough. Can't these ronin be a little more peaceful... making trouble every now and then."

"Huh? I know this group of rogues. They often hang around here. They are habitual criminals who use 'sheathing' to extort money..."

"Hush! Shh! Keep your voice down so that no one can hear it... Hurry up, hurry up, it's better to keep this kind of muddy water from flowing."

...

The more and more onlookers gathered, they surrounded the two waves of people in the quarrel, three circles inside and three circles outside.

The burly man glanced at the increasingly surging crowd around him, and a guilty conscience flashed in his eyes.

He quickly withdrew his gaze, pretending to be calm and said to Qing Deng seriously.

"However, I am not an evil ghost with no human feelings at all."

"That stinky bitch behind you didn't kick my saber on purpose, I can forgive you."

"But—the necessary punishment is still necessary."

The burly man spread his big fan-like hands towards Qingdeng.

"I'll give you two choices now."

"Either give me 10 taels of gold. As long as you give me 10 taels of gold, I will act as if nothing happened."

"Or... I'll chop off the feet of that stinky bitch behind you! Whichever foot of her kicked my knife, I'll cut off her foot at the root!"

The brutish speech of the burly man, coupled with his ferocious face... had a considerable deterrent effect.

Many spectators around turned pale with fright, and involuntarily tightened their shoulders and necks.

The burly man was quite satisfied with his performance just now.

Whether it's the tone of voice used when threatening, or the vicious expression made to enhance the "horror level", he finds it impeccable.

The feedback he received from the surrounding crowd also proved that he was not feeling too good about himself.

However, the people he should scare the most...Qingdeng and his party, without exception—all looked at him expressionlessly.

Whether Qingdeng, Erzhong Sisters; Tokugawa Jiamao, Tianzhangyuan, all of them are calm and calm at this moment.

And... I don't know if it's his personal delusion - he always feels that the eyes Qing Deng currently casts on him... a bit like looking at a funny comedian.

His conjecture was quickly confirmed——

"……Ah."

Qing Deng smiled.

With the nose "humming" to make a sound of sneer.

Then, Qingdeng turned his head back, looked at Tianzhang Courtyard, and asked:

"What do you think? What are you going to do?"

"Hmm..." Tianzhangyuan tilted his head, thinking, "Maomao, what do you think?"

Tenzhangin turned his gaze and questions to Iemo Tokugawa beside him.

Iemo Tokugawa thought for a while, raised his head, looked at Qingdeng and the second sister, and said word by word:

"...Please do it as quickly as possible. Just hurt them, don't kill them."

Tianzhangyuan nodded slightly, then turned his gaze back to Qingdeng, and smiled sweetly:

"Since even Mao Mao has said so...then I will trouble you heroes to save the beauty, and you must keep my feet~~"

After finishing speaking, Tianzhangyuan playfully moved his right foot, which was wearing a plain white sock, behind the heel of his left foot.

Qingdeng couldn't help but laugh.

"I'll do my best."

"Hey!" The burly man frowned, for some reason, he had always had an ominous premonition from just now, "You are all muttering... eh!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a bowl-sized knee zooming in rapidly within his field of vision.

Before he could react, a sharp pain centered on his face and spread rapidly throughout his body.
