I formed the strongest swordsman group

Following this loud voice, a huge figure emerged from the back porch of Qianshiwu, and came into Qingdeng's eyes.

After seeing the appearance of the visitor, Qing Deng almost subconsciously exclaimed.

- so high!

I saw that the person in front of me had an extremely huge body. He was nearly 1.9 meters tall, a head and a half taller than Qingdeng.

Such a height...even in modern East Asian countries, it is considered "very tall".

If this is the case in modern times, let alone the Edo period when the per capita malnutrition was poor.

In this era when the average height of men fluctuates around the value of "150cm", a person as tall as 1.9 meters can fully deserve the title of "giant"!

In addition to being tall, the man had a strong physique.

The clothes on the shoulders, chest, etc. were bulged high by the huge muscles.

Just from the movement of the man's hands and feet, it can be seen that these muscles on his body are not "fake goods" that are not used, but "real guys" that do contain strong strength.

He obviously has such an exaggerated body that even young people don't necessarily have...but this person is surprisingly old.

His face was covered with layers of wrinkles, his long hair was extremely white, and there was no trace of variegation from the scalp to the tip of the hair.

By the way: this giant has a very dashing hairstyle.

Men in the Edo period generally did not grow their hair very long. Whether they were shaved Tsukiyo or those with long hair like Qingdeng, they basically only grew their hair to the height of their shoulders.

On the other hand, the giant's hair was extremely long and was not braided in a bun. His waist-length hair was tied up carelessly with a rope and dragged carelessly behind his head, like pulling a broom with plenty of hair. .

It looks like he should be 80... no, he should be older, he should be about the same age as Boss Kiryu.

About the same age as Boss Kiryu... That is to say, this giant is also 90+ old...

Although he is old, he is very energetic.

The two eyes are radiant, as if there is an inextinguishable flame lodged in them.

With such eyes, such spirit, even a young man like Qingdeng would be ashamed of himself.

Just looking at his eyes, it is absolutely impossible to imagine that they are the eyes of an octogenarian—this is very similar to Boss Kiryu.

The same is true for Kiryu—although the body is old, the inner soul is still full of high-spirited vitality!

Therefore, Qingdeng concluded with just one glance: this giant who calls himself "Makimura Yahachi" must not be someone who is waiting for nothing!

——Makimura Yahachi...Makimura Yahachi...

Qingdeng chewed this name several times in his heart, and silently kept this name in his heart.

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly felt itchy in the palm of his right hand, turned his head and saw that Mai Kinoshita was tapping his right palm with a subtle and cute little movement.

"Qingdeng..." Kinoshita Wu said in a soft voice that only she and Qingdeng could hear clearly, "This is the elder I told you just now who wants to see you no matter what."

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself:

——Is that him... Why does Ah Wu have so many weird elders who are not easy to mess with at first sight!

In the past, there was a legendary master of sword drawing, and now there is a giant who feels like he can smash stubborn rocks with one punch... What will come next?

A wealthy businessman who has gathered the wealth of the world?

A sharpshooter who can hit an ant hundreds of miles away with one shot?

Or the unparalleled sword master?

Allowing his thoughts to diverge, he thought about what was and was not there, and even thought it was funny to himself, after delusions about how such a thing could happen, Qingdeng took a deep breath and stood up straight.

Since he is Kinoshita Mai's elder, he shouldn't be too rude...

Qingdeng cleared his throat, and solemnly reported to the house:

"It's the first time we've met, I'm in Juqingdeng, please give me your advice."

After finishing speaking, Qingdeng bowed down to Mucun in a salute, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Hahaha!" Mucun looked up to the sky and laughed, "That's right! The voice is very energetic! Young people must have such spirit!"

From the looks of it, he is an old man with a bold temperament...Qingdeng thought to himself.

"Huh? Mucun, what are you laughing at?"

At this moment, an old male voice came from the depths of the back corridor of Qianshiwu... This time, it was a voice very familiar to Qingdeng.

A slender figure flashed out from behind the broad back of Mucun.

Neither fat nor thin, only half shorter than Qingdeng's height, meticulously combed hairstyle, compared with a samurai's elegant face, more like a scholar's, with a pair of thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.

It was the boss Kiryu.

"Huh? Mr. Tangerine?"

Looking at Qingdeng who was standing side by side with Kinoshita Mai, Kiryu was first surprised and then delighted.

"Here you are, I haven't seen you for some time, happy new year."

Qingdeng smiled and nodded.

"Well, Boss Kiryu, Happy New Year to you too!"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a moment.

"Young Master." Kiryu said to Kinoshita Mai, "Can you help hang the 'Closed Business' sign outside the door? Ah, by the way, take all the Kamizu (drinks produced in Kyoto) hidden in the warehouse come over."

...

...

half an hour later—

Edo, Senjiya, the dining room where Kiryu and Kinoshita Mai used their daily meals——

"Gudong~~gudong~~gudong~~gudong~~"

Mu Cun held up the wine bottle, and frantically swallowed the liquid in the bottle like Kuafu sucking water.

It wasn't until the bottom of the wine bottle was turned upside down that he put the empty wine bottle back on the tatami with a "huha".

"Hahaha! The wine in Kyoto is the most enjoyable to drink! Tachibana, it's your turn!"

Hearing this, Qingdeng grabbed the wine bottle by his legs without hesitation, just like Mucun just now, stuffed the mouth of the bottle into his mouth, then turned the bottle upside down 180 degrees, with the mouth facing down, Bottle bottom up.

t~~t~~t~~t~~t~~

The aroma of wine was overflowing, and the spicy taste of alcohol filled the whole mouth. Qingdeng felt that the blood in his whole body was converging to the head and stomach.

The average person in the test hall is a drunkard. Thanks to these drunkards, the test hall holds drinking parties every now and then.

Affected by this, Qingdeng can be regarded as "reading countless wines".

The more wine he drank, the more Qingdeng understood why the wine produced in the Kyoto area, that is, Shangshui, was so popular.

Compared with ordinary wine, the taste of the water above is indeed better.

After a while, Qing Deng put down the wine bottle in his hand, it was empty.

"Oh? Not bad not bad!"

Mu Cun clapped his hands and laughed.

"Drinking up a whole bottle of water in one go, I can actually keep my face from flushing and not panting! The capacity for alcohol is good! Come on, let's continue! Let's drink it together today so we won't get drunk!"

A few days ago, Qingdeng just got a new talent to increase his drinking capacity: "Drinker".

With the blessing of this talent, Qingdeng's drinking capacity increased greatly.

In the past, after drinking a whole bottle of sake in one go, I would feel more or less drunk.

But now, after suffocating a whole bottle of wine, he acted like a normal person, without any abnormal reaction from his body.

Qingdeng doesn't mind having a drink with Mucun, but he promised Kinoshita Wu that he would go out with her this afternoon, so it's inconvenient to get too drunk.

Just thinking of Kinoshita Mai here, the person at the other end gently moved her round and lovely knees, getting closer to Qingdeng.

"Qingdeng, don't drink too much...don't drink blindly just because Mr. Mucun persuaded you to drink."

Kinoshita Mai's beautiful eyes shone with pure concern.

It wasn't because she was afraid that Qing Deng would get too drunk, which would put her afternoon play plan on hold.

She was simply worried that Qingdeng would hurt himself if he drank too much alcohol.

While persuading Qingdeng not to get too drunk, she took out a clean red handkerchief from between the raised skirts.

"Really... Even if you want to drink, don't drink in such a hurry... Look, it's all wet from the chin to the neck."

While Kinoshita Mai said so, she used the red handkerchief in her hand to wipe off the wine stains on Qingdeng's face and neck.

Unexpectedly, Mucun grinned, watching with interest Kinoshita Mai who was wiping Qingdeng's face with gentle movements.

"Hohoho~~Young Master, your appearance now...is like a little wife who is very affectionate with her husband~~"

Kinoshita Mai's skin was already thin, after listening to Mucun's teasing, her face turned red instantly, and a transparent gas floated from the top of her head.

Zhu Xia flew with the steam.

"Ju, young master, the relationship between the two of you is far better than I expected."

"Hehehe, it's good to be young. Watching the interaction between the two of you, I feel younger physically and mentally."

"Hey, back then, when Kiryu told me that the young master has someone he likes, I still couldn't believe it."

"Now it seems... no matter how unbelievable it is, I can't help but believe it."

"Although asking this kind of thing violates privacy, but as an elder who has watched the young master grow up, let me say something extra: Mr. Ju, what kind of relationship do you have with the young master?"

Mu Cun's straightforward speech stunned Kinoshita Mai... The next moment, Zhu Xia got darker and the steam got thicker.

—Tsk...could it be...is this the so-called "meeting the parents"...

Qing Deng swallowed subconsciously.

Judging from Kinoshita Mai's attitude towards Mucun, and what Mucun said just now, "watching the young master grow up", Mucun can indeed take on the position of "Kinoshita Wu's parent".

Without any prior preparation, being suddenly drawn into this kind of "battle" that makes countless couples daunting...Qingdeng's heart can't help but feel a little nervous.

——When you meet your parents, you meet your parents! Anyway, the arrival of this kind of thing is just a matter of time!

With this in mind, Qing Deng sat up straight.

"We are talking about marriage now!"

As if to enhance the credibility of his own words, as soon as the resolute tone fell, Qingdeng stretched his ape's arms lightly, and hugged Kinoshita Mai beside him into his arms, the gesture was very intimate.

Suddenly, the living room became extremely quiet.

Mucun opened his eyes wide in surprise, opened his mouth slightly, looked straight at Qingdeng, and then at Kinoshita Mai who was being hugged by Qingdeng.

Compared with Mucun, the reaction of Kiryu's boss is much calmer.

He shrugged his shoulders with a half-smile, with a complicated expression, as if he knew everything a long time ago.

Qingdeng wasn't bragging.

At present, he and Mai Kinoshita have indeed reached a relationship where they can talk about major life events and how many children they want in the future.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?"

The engraved Kinoshita Mai is like a machine that has stopped working, turning its head stiffly, and scanning its surroundings chaotically.

After a while, Kinoshita Mai regained her sanity.

After returning to reality, Kinoshita Mai pursed her lips hesitantly.

In the next breath, she made a move that made Mucun's eyes widen and Boss Kiryu's expression became more complicated:

She spread her arms around Qingdeng's waist, and leaned on Qingdeng's chest with her left face.

Although her cheeks were flushed with shame, and she was too ashamed to look at others, Kinoshita Mai still opened her eyelids and looked firmly at the two elders in front of her. While the eyes are full of shyness, there is also a vague pride.

This appearance seems to be saying to Kiryu and Mucun: Yes! Qing Deng was right! We are now half a couple!

Seeing Kinoshita Wu being so bold and heroic, Qing Deng was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized.

He cooperated with the other party and hugged the beauty in his arms even tighter.

This kind of behavior, like swearing territorial sovereignty, seems to be shouting loudly: Do you see it! Kinoshita Mai is my wife!

The silent atmosphere lasted for a long time...

"Hahaha... this is really... surprising."

Makimura scratched his head with a wry smile.

"You are already in this kind of relationship... well, but it's normal."

Due to various reasons such as the short life expectancy of the average person, whether it is a blind date or free love, the pace of marriage in the Edo period was very fast.

Getting acquainted at the beginning of the month, dating in the middle of the month, and getting married at the end of the month—this was the mainstream of the Edo period.

The modern practice of falling in love for several years before getting married is really a non-mainstream weird behavior nowadays.

That's why, the day after Qingdeng and the chief executive said they liked each other, the chief executive hurriedly started talking about marriage with Qingdeng.

Qingdeng met Kinoshita Mai in January last year, and with all his efforts, the two have known each other for almost a year.

Therefore, as Mu Cun just said, after such a long time, it is indeed very common for the two to develop into the current relationship that is only a step away from getting married.

"Oh! It's really touching..."

Mu Cun poured a few sips of wine into his mouth.

"In a blink of an eye, the young master has reached the age where he can get married and have children... Alas, time flies!"

"Tachibana, I don't know if you are clear, the young master was very popular in Osaka before, and there are countless people who love and pursue the young master!"

"It's the same now." Kiryu on the side helped his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and added with a smile, "Almost every day, young and old men in their thirties and forties work tirelessly to see the young master. Bad shop."

"A few courageous people directly ask the young master out to eat and play, and some even directly show love and propose marriage."

"What are you talking about, 'Don't be a hand agent in this small and dilapidated employment agency, marry me, and I will take you to live a happy life without worrying about food and drink for the rest of your life!'."

"Tsk, when you think about it carefully, it really makes people angry. How dare you say that my shop is small and broken."

"If it were the former young master, facing this group of men who clearly came to pursue him, he would definitely be at a loss and don't know how to deal with it."

"And now... Although the current young master still trembles with fear when she sees strangers, she can bravely say 'no' to those men who pursue and pester her."

"When the young master rejected these people, he used the same rhetoric: I am already someone's fiancée, and I love my fiancé very much, so please stop harassing me."

As soon as Tongsheng's words fell, there was a huge scream resounding through the hall.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

Kinoshita Mai loosened her arms around Qingdeng's waist, and covered her face with her hands.

After screaming, she hurriedly said in a pleading tone:

"Mr. Kiryu! Stop talking! This, these words are just that I want to make those annoying guys give up once and for all, and stop harassing me..."

Before the words here are finished, Mucun on the opposite side smiled playfully, and then gave Kinoshita Mai a new crit:

"Young master, your courage has grown a lot! Even before the marriage contract is concluded, you have started to claim to be the fiancée of so-and-so in front of people."

Mucun's timely "make-up knife" successfully caused Kinoshita Mai to fall into a state of half-interrupted consciousness due to her shame.

——Fiancee...

Qingdeng tried his best to hold back his laughter, until his shoulders began to tremble unnaturally, and he looked at Kinoshita Mai playfully.

Noticing Qingdeng's eyes, Kinoshita Wu's pretty face turned even redder.

While burying her face deeply in Qingdeng's waist, she swung her small fists and smashed Qingdeng's chest with neither light nor heavy force.

"D-hate it! Don't laugh!"

After Kiryu grew up to such a size, Makimura began to talk about sex—he also started to explode about Kinoshita Mai.

"Hahahaha, yes, I suddenly remembered. Ju, I know why the young master likes you. The young master told me before: she hopes that her future husband will be a great hero who stands up to heaven and earth..."

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa—!"

A frog-like cry interrupted Mucun's conversation.

"Don't listen! Don't listen! Don't listen!"

Kinoshita Wu can't stop Mucun, but she can stop Qingdeng.

After yelling, Kinoshita Mai straightened her upper body and tightly covered Qingdeng's ears with both hands.

But it was too late, Qingdeng had already heard the most crucial part.

Qingdeng once again cast a playful look at Kinoshita Mai.

Kinoshita Wu and Qing Deng met each other's eyes.

The next moment, she collapsed into Qingdeng's arms as if she had lost all her strength.

"Uh wow..."

A shy, cute moan rests on Qingdeng's chest.

She didn't look up at anyone for a while.

Kiryu and Mucun are not people who don't know how to measure, they know: Molesting Mai Kinoshita is fun, but if the molesting continues like this, this soft girl who is naturally shy may really faint from embarrassment.

Therefore, the two old people let go of Kinoshita Mai after laughing a few times, and started chatting about some ordinary parents' gossip.

After chatting casually for a while, Mucun suddenly changed the subject:

"Actually, Tachibana, compared to 'Young Master's Lover', I am even more surprised by your other identity - 'Kiryu's Disciple'."

Mu Cun raised the wine bottle and took a few more sips of wine.

"Sure enough, once a person lives for a long time, all kinds of things can happen to him."

"I always thought that Kiryu, who was extremely strict in accepting apprentices, would not be able to pass on his sword-drawing skills throughout his life, and his painstaking skills would be lost."

"I didn't expect...he would quietly accept his first...and last apprentice in Edo, hahaha!"

After finishing speaking, Mucun raised the wine bottle in his hand again.

This time, he drank all the wine in the bottle in one go.

I can't count how much he drank.

"Okay! The wine is coming up!"

Village Chief Mu let out a sigh of relief and stood up slowly.

"Tachibana, take your knife! Follow me to the courtyard!"

"Huh?" Qingdeng raised his eyebrows puzzled.

Just now we were talking about Kiryu's unprecedented acceptance of disciples, but now he suddenly threatened to ask him to go to the courtyard... Isn't this topic too off-topic?

"Mr. Makimura, what's wrong?"

Kinoshita Mai, who had recovered from the series of revelations between Boss Kiryu and Mucun, asked Chi Chi:

"Why did you suddenly ask Qingdeng to accompany you to the courtyard with a knife?"

"Heh..." Mucun grinned, "Ever since I learned that Kiryu has accepted apprentices, I've been curious! What kind of man is able to obtain the one who spent nearly sixty years before and didn't find his favorite apprentice?" Kiryu's favor."

"So... Tachibana, come and fight with me! Let me see how capable the man who can be liked by the young master and chosen by Kiryu is!"

20 minutes late...but no problem!

Ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a recommendation ticket! (Leopard Head Crying.jpg)

A protagonist like Qingdeng who is not shy in doing things is really cool to write, you can safely and boldly let him be a scumbag... Ah, no, let him feel confident and bold to post with beautiful girls.

If nothing else happens, everyone will be able to see Mucun's talent in the next chapter.

Let's guess what Mucun's talent is~~
