I formed the strongest swordsman group

Edo, Tsukimiya Shrine——

"...The above is the whole story of the past between my father and Kikuchi Chisui."

Qingdeng, who was sitting in front of Tianzhang Courtyard in a well-mannered manner, concluded the lengthy report just now with a calm voice.

"It's been quite a harvest... Sheng Qing, thank you for your hard work."

Tianzhangyuan nodded slightly, then let out a long sigh.

"Sheng Qing, your father did that..."

Tianzhangyuan paused, as if thinking about a suitable adjective.

After a while, she continued quietly:

"...a great thing."

As soon as Tianzhangyuan's words fell, a wry smile appeared on Qingdeng's face.

"I was also shocked... I always thought that my father was just an ordinary 'three-time' warrior. I never expected that he would fight against the power of God alone with a mortal body..."

Who is Tachibana Longzhi?

The royal family of Baishi Jialu, the concentric family of Beifan.

He has neither a prominent family background, identity, nor any extraordinary talent.

In addition to the rich experience in criminal investigation accumulated in the long-term post of Dingchohui Tongxin, Takayuki Tachibana is basically an ordinary person.

What kind of medicine is it?

The Fazhu Party and the Qingshui Clan are their platforms.

Combining all the information currently known, it can be determined that the cunning medicine began to circulate among the people at least 3 years ago.

However, no matter whether it is the enforcement office, Zifan, Huofu Thief Gai, or the Eighth Province Director, they have never known anything about cunning drugs before.

Not long ago, Xin Yutingban, who specialized in intelligence collection, learned of the existence of the strange medicine by chance.

Selling illegal drugs that have not been inspected and licensed by the government-this is not a big deal.

But under the watchful eyes of the government, he secretly sold prohibited drugs for several years, but he has lived in peace so far... This is a bit scary!

From this we can see how terrifying the strength of the Qingshui Clan and the Fazhu Party who gave the platform to the deceitful medicine are.

However, this is also normal.

After all, one gangster group dominates Kanto, and the other is a terrorist organization that continues to carry out terrorist activities across Japan.

Leaving aside the latter, the fierce reputation of the former is enough to make all the children inside and outside the Kanto stop crying.

For ordinary people, not to mention confronting him, just hearing his name is already a battle between the two.

But Tachibana Takashi dared to withstand the huge pressure, dealt with and fought with such a powerful enemy alone...until death!

His courage and courage truly deserve the highest praise of "with a mortal body, alone resisting the power of the gods"!

"Sheng Qing, what are your plans for the future?"

Tianzhangyuan asked softly.

"...Honestly—I don't have a clue."

Qing Deng shook his head.

Although I got a lot of information from Kikuchi Chisui, but I didn't know the person who deserves more attention and careful investigation.

In short - the thread is broken.

If you want to say what is the biggest gain today, it must be that the Qingshui clan was found to be related to the strange medicine.

It can be regarded as a brand new search direction.

It's just that the Qingshui clan is a large group with minions all over the Kanto.

If you act and investigate without a plan like a headless fly, not only is it extremely inefficient, but it is also easy to scare the enemy.

From whom and where should further information be gathered? Qingdeng has no clue yet.

Hearing the words, Tianzhangyuan pursed his red lips thoughtfully.

"Since that's the case... Sheng Qing, you should take a good rest first."

"rest?"

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows.

"Sheng Qing, ever since you woke up, you have been extremely busy. You wear stars and moons every day, and Mo Tu does not move, spinning continuously like a non-stop spinning top."

"Take advantage of the moment when you can catch your breath and take a good rest for a while."

Speaking of this, Tianzhangyuan paused.

Then, she put on a weird expression that was half a smile and a playful tone.

"By the way... deal with your emotional affairs together."

Hearing these words from Tianzhangyuan, Qingdeng's expression was suddenly embarrassed.

While Qingdeng was reporting to Tianzhangyuan the details of his visit to Juchi Qianshui with his Erzhong sisters, he also told Tianzhangyuan the whole story of his reunion with Sanazi and the chief executive just now.

After hearing about this incident, Tianzhangyuan showed a dumbfounded expression, and sighed repeatedly: How could such a coincidence happen...

"Sheng Qing, I have to say, your vision is really good, I understand why you like Miss Qianye."

"Your Highness, have you met Miss Sanako?"

Tianzhangyuan nodded.

"Guess why Miss Chiba and Okita-kun showed up at Tsukimiya Shrine?"

"They're here to worship."

"I speculate that they should be passing by near here, so I stopped by to worship the gods, make a wish, and pray for a blessing."

"I met Miss Chiba when they were visiting."

"The title of 'the most beautiful woman in Edo' really lives up to its reputation."

"Miss Chiba is indeed very attractive. Not only does she have a beautiful face and a good figure, but she also has a great temperament. Ono Komachi is nothing more than that."

Ono Komachi: A poetess in the early Heian period of Japan. She was named one of the Six Song Fairies in the early Heian period. According to legend, she is a stunning beauty, so people in later generations often call the beauty "Komachi", another nickname for Sanako " This is where "Chiba Oni Komachi" comes from.

After Tianzhangyuan said this in an admiring tone, Qingdeng's face instantly relaxed.

The corners of the mouth also relaxed.

As the corners of his mouth relaxed, a peaceful smile appeared on Qing Deng's cheeks.

Whenever he heard someone praise Sanako, Soji and Kinoshita Mai, Qingdeng would be sincerely happy.

This is a feeling quite similar to wishing for a son to become a dragon and a daughter to become a phoenix.

Although Qingdeng's smile was not very obvious at this time, it was still captured by Tianzhangyuan's eyes.

Suddenly, Liu Mei of Tianzhangyuan frowned slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in the depths of his eyes...

"……but."

Suddenly, the conversation in Tianzhang Court changed.

"If I'm not an Odaisho that has to hide, but a girl from a good family like Miss Chiba who can show her face openly, then who will get the title of 'No. 1 Beauty in Edo'?" On the head, it is still unknown."

"Huh?"

Qingdeng let out a "huh" and cast a surprised look at Tianzhang Courtyard.

Is it his illusion?

He always felt... Is Tianzhangyuan sulking right now?

Perhaps it was Qing Deng's gaze that brought her back to her senses.

In short, Tianzhangyuan's expression was startled suddenly, and then he secretly called "not good".

--Oops! How could I say such a thing!

Tianzhangyuan's words just now were completely thoughtless.

In other words, what she just said was completely blurted out subconsciously.

Anyone who heard what she said just now would feel that "there seems to be something tricky in it"-no matter how it sounds, it sounds like she is jealous of Zanako and deliberately jealous.

In order to get rid of the embarrassing expression, Tianzhangyuan took the teacup in front of his knees to his mouth, pretended to take a sip of the tea, then cleared his throat with a "hmm cough cough" and straightened his waist.

"Okay, let's get down to business!"

"Sheng Qing, since Miss Qianye and Mr. Okita have reunited with you, how are you going to deal with this?"

"...At this point, I can only confess to Ms. Sanako and Okita-kun."

Qingdeng smiled wryly.

"I am going to tell them everything I can say."

When talking about the part of "everything I can say", Qingdeng especially strengthened his tone.

Tianzhangyuan nodded slightly.

"Well... that's the only way to go."

"I've made an appointment with them to meet."

Qingdeng continued.

"I'll go see them when I'm free."

After hearing this, Tianzhang Court immediately said:

"Since that's the case...it's not too late, you should go to see them right now."

"Anyway, you have already reported to me what should be reported to me."

"Besides... I haven't seen them for so long, you must have a lot to say to them, right?"

Qingdeng smiled bitterly.

"...Indeed."

Tianzhangyuan waved his hand.

"Okay, Mr. Ju, you should step back and have a good get together with Ms. Chiba and the others. When there are new missions or new important information related to strange medicines, I will immediately Notified you."

"Yes, then I will take my leave first."

Qingdeng bent down, saluted Tianzhang Courtyard, then grabbed Echizen Resident Chang Lu Shou Jianshige by his legs, and walked quickly out of the room.

Tianzhangyuan sat where he was, watching Qingdeng off.

After Qingdeng's figure completely disappeared outside the room and the sound of her footsteps dissipated into the distance, she let out a "ha" breath and bent her waist unconsciously.

"Really... how could I say such a stupid thing..."

Tianzhangyuan is still annoyed by his careless slip of the tongue just now.

"Who is the 'No. 1 beauty in Edo'... What's the point of such a thing? Why is there any need to argue?"

After all, Tianzhangyuan was silent for a moment as if remembering something.

Then, she murmured in a raving tone:

"However... to be honest... In terms of beauty and temperament, I am indeed not inferior to Chiba Sanako..."

Before the words were finished, Tianzhangyuan reached out to explore his arms, and took out a hand mirror the size of a palm from the depths of his clothes.

This hand mirror is a glass mirror imported from the West, and its clarity is far beyond that of traditional bronze mirrors.

Facing the mirror in his hand, Tianzhangyuan first stared at his exquisite facial features carefully.

Then he raised his hand and touched the delicate skin that was still white and tender due to proper maintenance, as if it could splash water with a light pinch.

Feeling the silky smooth touch from the fingertips, Tianzhangyuan smiled with satisfaction, and Yaobi chuckled a few times with a "humming".

"Hmph~~Although she's getting older, she still has her charm..."

...

...

Edo, Barrel Town, Nichome, Echizenya——

Merchants in the Edo period often used the place name of their hometown as the house number of their shop.

For example: businessmen from Omi usually set their store names as "Omiya"; businessmen from Yamato usually set their store names as "Yamatoya", and so on.

Due to the terrain, customs, etc., there are more businessmen in Echizen.

A businessman from Echizen who traveled all over Japan.

Therefore, whether in East Japan or West Japan, there are so many shops named "Echizenya" that it can be called overflowing.

In metropolises such as Edo, Kyoto, and Osaka, one can often see such a spectacle: one or even several Echizenyas can be found in almost every street town. They have the same name, but they are engaged in completely different businesses. Some run a bathhouse, some run a private bank, some run a tea house, some run an izakaya, some run an inn, some sell groceries, and some sell fruits and vegetables...

Qingdeng, Sanako, and the general manager agreed to meet at the place: Echizenya, 2-chome, Otsuchomachi, which is an inn.

Little Chiba Sword House is located in the barrel town.

And Qingdeng would come to Xiaoqianye Sword Hall every now and then.

Therefore, Barrel Town is almost like his happy hometown to Qingdeng.

Qingdeng is very familiar with every plant and tree in the barrel town.

This is why Qingdeng chose the meeting place to be in Barrel Town—to discuss important matters with others, it is more reassuring to choose a place he is familiar with.

At this moment, Sanako and the chief executive stood shoulder to shoulder by the shop door of Echizen House.

Surprise, amazement, greed, lust... A bunch of eyes with different emotions fell on the two of them.

One is a beautiful boy who, on the surface, is enough to bend a straight man of steel.

As for the other one, she was a peerless beauty with a national beauty and a heavenly fragrance.

How can such an existence and such a combination not attract people's attention.

Almost every passer-by, whether male, female, old or young, passed by the shop door of Echizenya, at least glanced at Sanako and the chief executive.

Whether it's Sanazi or the general manager, he's no longer surprised by the gazes of passers-by.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah..."

The general manager stuffed Kimpei candies into his mouth one by one.

Probably because I finally reunited with Qingdeng, so I was in a good mood. Since just now, the chief executive's mouth has never been idle - she has been eating Jinping candy.

"Miss Sanako, do you want to eat?"

The general manager handed the bag of Jinpingtang in his hand to Sanako.

"Thank you, I don't need it."

Sanako shook her head and politely declined, she has always been insensitive to Jinpingtang, a very sweet food.

Seeing that Sanako refused, and the director did not force her, she silently withdrew her hand, and then continued to stuff candy into her mouth.

Taking advantage of the time when the chief executive was eating sweets, Sanazi secretly tilted his eyes, scanning and sizing up the "beautiful boy" beside him.

When her eyes shifted to the beautiful face of the chief executive, complex and meaningful eyes flashed unconsciously in her pupils.

Just now... Sanako could clearly see all the scenes that happened on the stone steps of the shrine——

The chief fell directly on Qingdeng's body, and stretched out his hands to wrap around Qingdeng's waist, and Qing Deng also hugged the chief's back with an extremely gentle movement.

If it was Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai who behaved like this, then Sanako would understand.

After all, Sanako and Kinoshita Mai had already reached a consensus that Qingdeng stepped on two boats.

However, it was Qingdeng and Zongsi...two big men who made this kind of intimate interaction...that's a bit too...

It's not that Sanako has never seen physical contact between men.

Her elder brother, Chiba Shigetaro, often hooked up with his friends.

However, when Chiba Shigetaro started physical contact with his friends, Sanako could clearly feel the pure friendship and brotherhood.

On the other hand, Qingdeng and the general manager...

If the hug between the two of them is classified as "brotherhood", I always feel a bit reluctant...

--Could it be that……

Although he didn't want to look directly at him, a terrible conjecture still floated into Sanako's mind uncontrollably.

——After Kinoshita Mai, even Okita-kun...

Thinking of this, Sanako's facial expression suddenly became weird.

In the Edo period, the culture of Taoism has been very popular.

——Okita-kun was originally a handsome young man, and he and Tachibana-kun happened to live under the same roof, inseparable, inseparable. Under such an environment, the two of them gradually fell in love with each other for a long time... It's not a big deal It's completely impossible.

Thinking of this, Sanako tilted his eyes again, and cast a complicated gaze at the chief...

At this time, the chief executive noticed Sanako's eyes.

"Miss Sanako, what's wrong? Why do you keep looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"Stop being so sentimental, I'm not looking at you."

Sanako responded with a cold tone without thinking.

For a moment... the chief was stunned...

"Miss Sanako, why, why are you attacking me... Did I do something wrong?"

The chief executive asked weakly, with an aggrieved expression.
