I formed the strongest swordsman group

Ever since he crossed over to this world, Qingdeng has always wanted to own a pistol of his own.

Although this is a "low-armed world" with a high average force value, firearms still occupy a dominant position in terms of lethality.

Otherwise, the Western powers in this world would not be like the Western powers in the world before Qingdeng crossed, relying on advanced industrial civilization to run rampant across the world.

With a pistol at his side, his waist can be straighter when he walks.

For a long time, Qingdeng searched hard for a pistol but failed.

Although Japan has been founded, the conservative forces are still very strong, so the whole country is still in a strange state of "founding but not fully opening".

Even a shogunate officer of Qingdeng's level could not find a way to buy Western firearms.

Moreover, for the sake of his status, he must not blatantly use a gun—especially not to seek help from Tokugawa Jiamao and Tenzhangin.

One of these two men was General Zhengyi, and the other was the Odaisho. Based on their status in the Edo Shogunate, it would not be difficult to obtain Western firearms.

but! No matter what, you must never take the initiative to ask these two masters to help buy guns!

Otherwise, it would be a big taboo!

Qingdeng still has this political sensitivity.

Qingdeng knew he was innocent. The reason why he wants a pistol is just to enhance his combat effectiveness.

But what would Tokugawa Jiamao and Tianzhangyuan think?

From their point of view, one of their subordinates suddenly wants to buy a weapon that is easy to hide and can kill from a distance; can protect them and turn around to aim at them...

Although judging from the current stage, he has a very good relationship with Tokugawa Kashige, Tenzhangin... especially with Tenzhangin, but the friendship between monarchs and ministers in the feudal era is like a castle made of fine sand-it will fall down if pushed.

Qingdeng didn't think that the friendship between himself and these two people had reached the level of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang.

Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty...

Until this night, until now, Qingdeng finally got his first pistol in his life as he wished—although there was only one bullet.

At this time, the revolver could not fire continuously.

After firing a shot, the hammer must be pulled down to fire a second shot.

"Is it just that many bullets...?"

Qingdeng turned back to Konosuke Kitahara, and groped carefully on his body.

However, he sighed with disappointment—he searched Kitahara Konosuke's body, but found no extra ammunition.

It seems that what Kitahara Konosuke said earlier, "The bullets are very precious, and every shot is one shot less" is not nonsense.

"never mind……"

Qingdeng "huh" turned his regretful mood into voice.

"One bullet is one bullet... It's better than nothing..."

A revolver with only one bullet in the chamber cannot be used as the main weapon in battle.

But it is a good hidden weapon!

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, he suddenly rushed to the enemy to launch a "American Juhe"... A tough battle that might be very stalemate, or even lost, might end in "Qingdeng's complete victory" It's over.

Thinking of this, Qingdeng joyfully put the revolver with only one bullet left in his pocket.

...

...

Edo, Tsukimiya Shrine, Tensho-in’s room——

"well……"

A weary sigh escaped from Tianzhangyuan's red lips lightly.

Tianzhangyuan lay on his back on the tatami in the room.

It's obviously just a casual lying posture, but the scene is so glamorous and moving that it looks like a supreme masterpiece drawn by a top painter with all his efforts.

White clothes, purple hakama, pink skin, ruddy lips, black hair...

All the colors are best interpreted on this delicate body full of mature charm.

"well……"

Another sigh.

Tianzhangyuan turned over, with his delicate face on the side lightly pressed against the fresh-smelling tatami, his straight legs close together, his round toes wrapped in white foot bags tightened, and he was curled up.

Tianzhangyuan seldom reveals this "weak" side.

But the troubles that have come one after another recently have really exhausted her physically and mentally.

His favorite general, Ju Qingdeng, was hunted down by unidentified gangsters, and there has been no new progress in the investigation of the "strange drug"... Let's ignore these things for the time being.

The most important reason for Tianzhangyuan to become weak like this... is that the political situation of the shogunate has made new waves.

The assassination of Da Laojing Yi Naosuke-this "black swan incident" caused the authority of the Edo shogunate to be severely shaken.

After Ii Naosuke passed away, Nobushi Ando was appointed as the head of the old middle school, and he was in charge of government affairs with another old middle school: Kuze Hiroshu.

[Note: There are generally 4 or 5 old middlemen who are similar in status to "prime ministers", and the one who ranks first among them is called "the first old middle school\
