I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Although the family salary of the Akabane family is not high, they are very popular, and the number of bannermen and imperial families who have made good friends with them are countless."

Miyabe Kyotaro imitated Qingdeng, lying on his back on the ground in a similar manner, with his face facing the sky, and his limbs were in the shape of "big".

"You killed the son of their family... I can even imagine that the Akabane family will definitely unite with other direct members to force you to be imprisoned!"

Direct ginseng: collectively referred to as the flag book and the royal family.

Speaking of this, Miyabe Kyotaro let out a long and heavy sigh as if recalling something sad.

"Damn! Mention this and get angry! As the general's direct ministers and the cornerstones of the shogunate, Banner and the royal family should have set an example and served the shogunate bravely. The result? There are not many national scholars, abuse of power, corruption, bribery, fish and meat There are a lot of moths in the village!"

"Although I don't have the qualifications to say such beautiful words in the body of a sinner, but I really can't see the status quo of 'the moths are everywhere in the direct participation of the warriors'!"

"Ahh! The more I think about it, the more angry I get!"

Miyabe Kyotaro rubbed his hair frantically, and Tsukiyo's neat head turned into a messy bird's nest.

"Mr. Orange, a capable person like you is imprisoned, but those moths who are full of fat are sitting high on the clouds!"

Miyabe Kyotaro sat up, stretched out his hands to grab the door of the cell, and pressed his face tightly into the gap between the fences.

"The world is unfair! If this goes on like this, if we don't try to make some changes, I'm afraid that the country will be destroyed!"

"That...Miyabe-kun, calm down a little bit."

Qingdeng looked helplessly at Kyotaro Miyabe who was inexplicably excited.

Miyabe Kyotaro took a deep breath.

"Sorry... I seem to be overly excited, please forgive me."

"Unexpectedly, you are also a passionate and insightful person."

Qing Deng joked casually.

Miyabe Kyotaro smiled and waved his hand.

"You are overrated. I have more than enough 'blood', but not enough 'knowledge'. Having said that, your physical and mental condition is pretty good. Even though you have been imprisoned, you still look like nothing has happened. You neither look panic nor panic. Not morose."

Hearing this, Qingdeng shrugged.

"What do I have to be afraid of? When I decided to chop Akabane Kotaro in half, I was already mentally prepared to suffer the crazy revenge of the family behind him."

"It's better to say that the Akabane family's revenge came so late, which surprised me."

"Oh?" Kyotaro Miyabe's eyes flashed with curiosity as if he had heard an interesting story that tantalized his appetite, "Since you are so calm...does it mean that you must have a plan?"

Qingdeng didn't answer directly. He only said softly, as if pointing something:

"The popularity of Akabane's family is very good...my popularity is not bad..."

...

...

Edo, Koishikawa Kohinata Yanagi-cho, Shouweikan——

"Oops! Oops! The young master has been arrested and imprisoned! What to do! What to do!"

The loyal old servant of the Tachibana family: Jiubingwei is like an ant on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

"Uncle Kubei, calm down."

Yongcang Xinbadao.

Although Yongcang said so, the anxious and flustered expression on his face was no less than that of Jiubingwei.

An atmosphere of bewilderment permeated the air in the testing hall.

Just now, Qingdeng's old subordinate: Fujido Heisuke and Qingdeng's old friend: Shannan Keisuke both came to the testing hall.

The two of them had the same purpose in coming to the health test hall: they both came to check the situation and confirm the authenticity because they heard that Qing Deng was in prison.

"So the rumors are true..." Fujido stammered, "Mr. Tachibana was really arrested by the officials..."

"..." Shannan Keisuke didn't say a word, but pursed his lips thoughtfully.

"Brother Kondo! Mr. Hijikata! Uncle Gen! What should we do now?"

The general manager looked at Isamu Kondo, Toshizo Hijikata, and Gensaburo Inoue with a blank expression.

The one she loves is in prison... For the chief executive who lacks social experience and spent her past life practicing swords and doing housework, this kind of thing is beyond her "handling range".

Helpless and confused, she instinctively turned to the three seniors she relied on most for help.

"...Okay! Everyone, listen up!"

Hijikata clapped his hands, and the loud applause echoed in everyone's ears like the ringing of a bell.

"Everyone, look at me!"

Everyone's eyes focused on Hijikata.

Looking around the audience, there are only three people who still look calm: Hijikata Toshizo, Yamanan Keisuke, and Saito Kazu.

Leaving aside the first two, Saito was originally born with a stern temperament, showing emotions and anger, so it is impossible to distinguish whether he is really calm now, or simply facial paralysis.

"Tachibana-kun is just a Yoshiki who was temporarily imprisoned in Kodenma-cho, why bother to be mourned? Fortunately, you are still samurai with two swords hanging from your waist."

It is not a matter of a day or two for the local party to speak badly.

Therefore, Zongsi, Yongcang and others have all gotten used to the stinky mouth of Hijikata.

Shannan, who was not very familiar with Tukata, shrugged his delicate eyebrows, showing displeasure.

"First of all, what is certain at the moment is: Mr. Ju was indeed arrested."

"The reason for the arrest is that Tachibana-kun slaughtered a disobedient bastard during the crusade against the bandits in Kai last year."

"It's so hard to die, this bastard is from Banner, and he is also the kind of Banner with a high reputation and a prominent family background. His clansmen and other direct members joined forces to report Mr. Ju on the grounds of 'abuse of power and killing Zhongliang in vain', and reported to him. The government exerted pressure and forced the government to put Qing Deng in prison."

"Ju Jun's imprisonment involves political struggle, we must not act rashly."

"What?!" Harada interjected, "Are we just staring like this and doing nothing?"

"Listen to what I have to say." Hijikata gave Harada a glance, "I said 'do not act rashly', not 'do nothing'. Look at our current 'lineup', the two were not finally settled until recently. They are the dojo masters and dojo young masters who have gained some fame."

Hijikata spread his hands while looking at Shusuke and Kondo.

"A commoner from a peasant background."

Earthwork patted his chest.

"4 dojo apprentices."

Hijikata's eyes swept to the chief director, Inoue, Shannan, and Fujido.

"3 dojo eaters."

Hijikata turned his eyes in the opposite direction, and fixed on Saito, Yongcang, and Harada.

"With such a shabby lineup, how are you going to clear Jun Ju's grievances? You can't even rob a prison with this amount of manpower."

"Then, what should we do?" Fujido murmured.

The corners of Hijikata's mouth raised a slight arc.

"There is no need to be pessimistic."

"Although I'm just an ordinary person who wants status but no status, and status but no status, there are things ordinary people can do."

"Since we are single and weak, it would be good if we gather companions as much as possible and strengthen our strength."

"Fortunately, Mr. Ju has friends all over the world, so we don't have to worry about finding someone who is willing to help us."

"Asheng!"

Kondo responded reflexively:

"What is it?"

"Asheng, you go to the Little Chiba Sword Hall, find Mr. Chiba Singkichi, Chiba Shigetaro, and Chiba Sanako two brothers and sisters, and report to them the current situation of Tachibana-kun and us, and say: We want to help Mr. Ju cleared up his grievances, please help us. If it is convenient, please send a representative to our test hall to discuss with us the "plan to aid Juju."

"Little Chiba Sword Hall... Okay! I understand!" Kondo nodded.

"Wait a minute." At this moment, a clear and bright male voice interjected, "Kondo-kun, I will accompany you. I am the disciple of Little Chiba Sword Academy. With my company, the negotiation with Master Chiba and others should be smooth. It went pretty well."

The speaker was none other than Shannan Keisuke.

"...Okay." After thinking for a while, Tufang said seriously, "Then, Shannan, why don't you accompany Ah Sheng to the Little Chiba Sword Hall."

Hijikata turned his head and looked at Saito.

"Saito, you used to be Tachibana-kun's bodyguard, and you were by his side when Tachibana-kun was still not famous."

"Mr. Ju once mentioned to me: all three old seniors who have a good relationship with him in Beifan. Do you know who these three seniors who Mr. Ju said are close friends with him?"

The "senior of Beifansuo" who had a good relationship with Mr. Tachibana... Naturally, they were Arima, Inotani and Uzan.

Saito nodded.

"Very good, it's good to know. Then I would trouble you to go to the Beifan Office and look for the three old seniors of Mr. Ju."

"After you find them, just use the wording I taught Kondo just now."

"It reflects the difficult situation that Mr. Ju is trapped in prison and we are not strong enough but eager to save Mr. Ju from fire and water as soon as possible."

"I implore the other party to do their part."

"Finally, don't forget to mention: I hope the other party can send representatives to the guard hall to discuss matters with us and other colleagues who are also interested in helping Mr. Ju."

Compared to Hijikata's impassioned speech, Saito's reaction was undoubtedly much calmer - he just nodded slightly again.

However, this time, after nodding his head, Saito responded in a tone neither sad nor happy:

"Well, I see, leave it to me."

In an instant, everyone at the scene except Shannan cast surprised glances at Saito.

Having been with Saito day and night for so long, they already knew Saito's temperament very well.

This "dumb" who could not speak unless he could speak, and who could never speak three words when he could speak two words, actually said that in one breath?

The abnormal behavior under Saito's eyes made everyone at the scene feel intuitively: Regarding Qing Deng's imprisonment, this cruel man's heart is not as calm as he appears on the outside.

Earth's calling the shots continued.

"Yongcang, Fujido. Both of you participated in the battle where Mr. Ju rushed to help the Fanshu Institute, right?"

"Yeah." Yongcang replied, "The 'Battle of the Bookstore' is the first battle between me, Harada, and Todo after joining Mr. Tachibana's Oka Hibiki."

The earth side continued:

"Tachibana-kun and Katsu Rintaro are good old friends. The latter is a senior official in the shogunate who is currently holding an important position. If he can win his support, he will be able to win the power of ten thousand people."

"So, you two have a heavy task."

"Katsu Rintaro's most frequent haunts are nothing more than the Tibetan Book Research Institute and the Martial Arts Institute."

"Therefore, I need you to split into two groups."

"Yongcang, you said that you have a friend who is currently studying at the martial arts institute, right?"

Yongcang: "Well, yes."

"Okay, since you have a way to connect with the martial arts institute, then you are responsible for going to the martial arts institute."

"Fudodo, you go to the Fanshu Research Office."

"We must find Katsu Rintaro!"

"Tachibana-kun is in trouble, I believe Katsu Rintaro will not just sit idly by."

"After the meeting with Katsu Rintaro, you will still use the same rhetoric: reflect the current situation, ask for support, and send representatives to try the guard hall."

"Remember to be polite in your wording."

Yongcang hammered his chest with a "boom", and said loudly:

"No problem! Leave it to me!"

The young and inexperienced Todo's eyes flickered, and there was a faint timidity in his eyes.

However, he did not choose to back down.

After a while, he gritted his teeth and hammered his chest hard like Yongcang:

"Yes! I am determined to fulfill my mission!"

"Well, very good, just want this momentum."

Hijikata gave Nagakura and Todo admiring eyes.

Then--

"Director."

Seeing that he finally found himself, the chief executive who had been waiting for the roll call hurriedly and subconsciously stood upright, looking at Tufang with piercing eyes.

"Go to Senshiya and find Boss Kiryu."

"Boss Kiryu?"

Not only the chief executive was stunned, but even the other people around him couldn't help being stunned.

Except for Qingdeng, none of the guards in the whole examination hall, including Zhou Zhu, knew Tongyu's true identity. In their eyes, Boss Kiryu is just an ordinary boss of an employment agency.

Earthwork held out two fingers.

"First of all, the relationship between Tachibana-kun and Boss Kiryu is very good."

"Boss Kiryu will definitely be happy to run for 'Save Tachibana-kun'."

"At this critical juncture, we must unite all forces that can be united."

"Secondly, don't underestimate the boss of the employment agency!"

Hijikata put on a half-joking tone.

"According to my previous experience of going all over the world, the boss of an employment agency is one of the worst people in the world to be provoked. Especially the one who can open an employment agency in a place like Edo, which is full of mud and sand, hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

"It's fine if you open an employment agency in a small, unknown place. But those who can run an employment agency in a megalopolis like Edo must either have a wide network of contacts, or have people behind them, or Both."

"So, seeking help from Boss Kiryu, you might get something unexpected."

"This, this..." The chief executive hesitated.

"Huh? Director, why do you have a weird expression? Don't you want to go to the house of thousands of things?" Hijikata asked.

"Ah? No, no!" The chief quickly waved his hand, "As long as Mr. Ju can be released from prison as soon as possible, you can let me go to Edo Castle, but... there is someone in the Qianshiwu that I don't really want to meet people……"

The chief executive's voice became smaller and smaller.

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly changed the topic:

"Ahhh! What am I doing! It's such a time, and I'm still fussing over such trivial matters!"

The Chief Secretary shook his head vigorously, the slender ponytail on the back of his head dangling and bouncing from side to side.

"I see! The Thousand Things House, right? Okay! Leave the Thousand Things House to me!"

"..." Tufang didn't make a sound immediately, he took a deep look at the chief executive. Shi Shi said slowly and softly, "Well, I'll leave it to you."

"What about me? What about me? Mr. Hijikata, what about me?"

At this time, Harada suddenly shouted.

While stretching his arms high, he jumped vigorously in place, like a husky that saw dog food.

"Mr. Hijikata, what is my mission?"

"Don't worry." Hijikata said lightly, "Everyone has a mission, and you are no exception. I have tailored a mission that is very suitable for you. It can be said that no one is capable of this mission except you. Finish."

"Oh?" Harada's eyes lit up, "It's actually my mission? Quick! Tell me! What is my mission?"

Hijikata took out a bulging thick money bag from his pocket and threw it to Harada.

"Harada, your task is to use this money to visit all the teahouses and izakayas in Edo."

"Tea house? Izakaya?" Harada looked at the purse in his hand in puzzlement, "Mr. Hijikata, what do you mean?"

"I want you to go to these places, of course not just to eat, drink, and have fun. You have to pretend to mention the arrest of Mr. Ju in these places where there is generally a lot of traffic."

"Remember, exaggerate the facts as much as possible."

"Mr. Ju is as innocent as you want to be, and as pitiful as you want to be."

"It's best to portray Tachibana-kun like Yue Pengju and Sugawara Michizane who have suffered injustice!"

"In a word: Do your best to arouse the sympathy of the common people for Mr. Ju."

"Mr. Ju is currently very popular among the people, and the name 'King Ni' is well known in Edo."

"Compared to the lords of Banner who have always had a bad reputation, the emotions of the common people in the market must be more inclined to the popular Ju Jun."

"The support and solidarity of ordinary people, we also have to do our best to win."

"So, Harada, the burden on your shoulders is not light, don't mess it up."

"You have the ability to speak without fear even in front of the Emperor and the General. Only you are capable of this difficult task."

Harada: "..."

"What's the matter? Harada, why don't you speak? Do you think you can't do this task?"

"No, it's just that what you said just now made me very concerned...Who is Yue Pengju? The tragic hero who was defeated by Xiang Yu and then committed suicide by the Yangtze River?"

"When I didn't say what I said just now!!! Don't worry about Yue Pengju! In short, the important task of winning the support of the public is left to you!"

Hijikata took a deep breath, calming down his mind that was shaken by Harada's violent remarks.

"I personally went to the Western settlement. Last year, when the barbarian lunatics attacked the settlement, thanks to Mr. Ju's timely arrival and bloody battle, a large number of Westerners were able to save their lives."

"Although we can't expect every Westerner to know how to repay their kindness, we still have to fight for the aid we hope to get."

"A Sui, do you want to draw Westerners into our camp?" Kondo asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Asheng, have you forgotten? In the Western settlement, there is a family that is as close as glue to Mr. Ju."

"You mean... the Angoulême family?" Kondo raised his eyebrows.

"That's right! Mr. Ju has saved the lives of the Angouleme family twice. At the same time, Mr. Ju is still the swordsmanship teacher of the little blonde girl in their family. As long as I explain my purpose, the Angouleme family will definitely open up to me." Convenient door."

After all, Hijikata looked at the last five people who had not yet been named by him: Inoue Genzaburo, Zhou Su, Abi, Kubei, and Kondo Isamu's wife: Kondo Tsune (former name: Matsui Chang).

"Uncle Yuan, Master Kondo, Auntie, Uncle Jiubingwei, Miss Ah Chang, there may be a large number of guests from all walks of life coming to our door in a short while, please prepare snacks and tea, we are the ones who take the initiative to invite people to come to the Weiguan for discussion Yes, if the hospitality is not good, it will be too rude to others."

"The sword hall will be closed for one day today."

"Ah, and, later on, there may be some good people who come to join in the fun after hearing about Mr. Ju's experience. At that time, I will trouble you to stop it. For those who come to watch the fun, there is nothing to do with them Say, no matter what the other party says, just answer 'no comment'."

Inoue, Zhou Zhu, Ah Bi, Jiu Bingwei, and Ah Chang all nodded.

So far, everyone on the scene has received their respective tasks.

"Everyone, finally, please listen to me."

Hijikata raised his head high, with a solemn expression, like a general who was about to give a speech before the battle.

"Mr. Ju is one of my few friends. I sincerely hope that he can get out of prison as soon as possible. I think we all share this feeling! So, let's help each other and clear up the grievances of Mr. Ju! "

...

...

A series of tall or short, strong or slender figures came out of the test hall.

With the same purpose in mind, they rushed to all parts of Edo.

A new month has begun, a new moon and a new atmosphere! Have all the guaranteed monthly passes on hand been renewed?

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

Coincidentally, with the arrival of the new month, the plot of this book has officially entered the "climax stage of the second volume". Some book friends said yesterday, "I have already guessed the follow-up plot! It is nothing more than Qingdeng hitting the Akabane family in the face against the backstage background" or something.

I can only smile intriguingly at this...

"Fairy, put down the knife first"

In the 5367th year of Tianyuan, there was a demon who bullied men and women, bullied others, and did all kinds of evil. Man and God were all angry, and he wanted to turn the world into a purgatory.

Good news: With the development of the plot, after a few years, the Son of Destiny will lead the confidante to kill the devil.

Bad news: Now... I'm the boss...
