I formed the strongest swordsman group

Because this "wool melon face" is so peculiar and eye-catching, not only Qing registered it, but also Sanazi and the chief executive were deeply impressed by it.

At that time... that is, when he met those gangsters holding portraits and looking for people on the street, Qing Deng didn't take this matter to heart at all.

He didn't want to know why the younger brothers of the Qingshui clan were chasing the person in the portrait.

He is even less interested in the identity of the person in the painting.

This is probably the so-called "fate to make people".

Qingdeng never expected that the "little episode in life" that he didn't pay attention to at the beginning would come back to him in this way...

Now that the matter has come to this point, he can no longer take the name "Wogualian" lightly.

In an instant, a large number of questions filled Qingdeng's brain.

Who is this guy?

Why was he hunted down by the Qingshui clan?

Why is he here?

In Qingdeng's impression, it was the first time that the Qingshui clan went so far to find people along the street...!

What did this guy do to be treated so "graciously" by the Qingshui clan?

Eager to clear up his doubts, Qingdeng grabbed "Wogualian" by the collar.

"who are you?"

Qingdeng's shouting question added a little talent effect of "Piercing Clouds and Cracking Stones", so the voice was loud and full of deterrence.

However, this wave of "sound wave offensive" by Qingdeng failed to frighten "wogualian".

"Wogualian" raised his eyes, looked at Qingdeng in front of him, and then at Zuo Nazi and the chief executive next to him.

In order to hide their identities and facilitate their actions, Qingdeng and the others all wore low-edged bamboo hats that could cover their entire faces.

"Wogualian" looked up, one after another, the bamboo hats...

However, although he couldn't see the appearance of Qingdeng and the others, he could tell from the figure and clothes that the group who captured him were two men and one woman.

He has no way of knowing the details of the two men (Qingdeng and Zongsi).

However, he could feel the elegant and luxurious atmosphere from the woman (Sanako) in the women's kendo uniform with white on top and blue on the bottom.

The bamboo hat can cover the beautiful face of the country and the city, but it can't cover the elegant aura of Yamato Nadeko.

Er, "Wogualian" swallowed hard, and then asked in a calm tone:

"Aren't you... from the Qingshui clan?"

"The Qingshui clan?"

Qingdeng raised his eyebrows.

After thinking for a while, he answered the "rhetorical question" with "rhetorical question".

"Do you think we look like Yakuza?"

"..."

"Wogualian" muttered, while acting in a contemplative state. After a while, the panic all over his cheeks dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Who are you? Answer quickly!"

Qingdeng repeated the question just now with a higher pitched and impatient tone.

Mount Kikyo is a barren mountain far away from human civilization.

This guy not only haunts this uninhabited and barren land where birds don't shit, but he also hides in a thatched hut that seems to be Takayuki Tachibana's "secret stronghold"...

Is it a coincidence?

Or... is there another secret?

Thinking of this, Qingdeng subconsciously increased the strength in his hand, and he pulled the skirt of the "wogualian" into a crumpled ball.

As we all know, whether it is a men's kimono or a women's kimono, the placket is easy to open.

Qingdeng was impressed by the convenience of the kimono countless times when he had zero-distance or even negative-distance contact with the head office.

It is very convenient to take off the clothes on the upper body only by gently separating the two plackets.

At this moment, under Qingdeng's strong pull, the skirt of "Wo Gua Lian" slid to the left and right, revealing his solid chest.

"Um?"

In an instant, Qing Deng showed a shocked expression.

I saw a strange-looking "big cat" with brown hair tattooed on the chest of "Wogualian".

Qingdeng took a closer look before he could barely discern that this "big cat" should be a tiger.

There are no wild tigers on the Japanese archipelago.

That is to say, the painters and tattoo artists in the Edo period drew tigers based on the descriptions of their ancestors, and added their own imagination and understanding.

Therefore, tigers appearing in ukiyo-e, tile prints and other works of art in the Edo period are often the product of two or even three or four creations, and their appearance is basically very strange.

Either draw it as a monster, or draw it as an enlarged version of a big orange cat.

Qingdeng was stunned for a while, and then he couldn't help but pull the skirt of "Wogualian" wider and wider.

Tigers, feathered cranes, evil spirits... Patterns of various shapes came into Qingdeng's eyes.

I saw that the entire upper body of the "wogua face" was covered with tattoos, and there was almost no clean skin.

With tattoos all over her body... the identity of "Wogualian" is already ready to be revealed.

"Are you Yakuza?"

"..."

Facing Qingdeng's questioning, "Wogualian" didn't say a word.

He glanced at Qingdeng with calm eyes, then turned his head away, putting on a tough look of "willing to be cut by the knife".

Seeing this, Qingdeng sneered.

"Oh, your mouth is quite hard."

What Qingdeng is not afraid of the most is stubborn people.

As the former Tongxin of the Beifan and the current leader of the Huofu Thief Kai's third team, Qingdeng is well versed in countless interrogation methods that can torture people to the point where they cannot live or die.

If there is enough time and the situation permits, Qingdeng naturally doesn't mind dealing with "Wo Gua Lian" slowly to see if the other party's mouth is tougher or his interrogation methods are more aggressive.

However, Qingdeng is not someone who can't tell the priority of things.

At this moment, compared with "wo melon face", searching the thatched hut that I have been searching for for a long time is the most urgent thing that affects Qingdeng's heart the most.

So, Qingdeng raised his head and looked at the director general:

"Okita-kun, can you help me find a strong vine?"

The chief nodded slightly.

This place is a lush and dense forest, so the most indispensable thing around is vines.

Soon, the chief director returned to Qingdeng's side with a thick and long vine as tough as a hemp rope.

"be honest!"

Qingdeng took the vine with one hand, twisted "Wogualian"'s arms behind him with the other hand, and tied him up repeatedly.

Qingdeng's tying method is to practice the "rope catching technique" that has been passed down from generation to generation.

The reason why the "rope catching technique" of the monastery can be passed down from generation to generation is simple - it can stand the test of time.

Unless one is born with supernatural power like Xiang Yu, or has the special ability to dislocate hands and feet at will, once bound by the "rope catching technique" of the enforcement office, there is absolutely no possibility of breaking free.

"This is... the 'rope catching technique' of the enforcement office...?"

"Wogualian" opened his eyes wide, turned his head, and stared at Qingdeng.

"Hi, are you from the official family?"

"No comment."

Qingdeng replied indifferently.

The "wogualian" probably knew that he was unable to break free, so he let out a "tsk", lowered his head, and his face was ugly.

"let's go."

Accompanied by Zuo Nazi and the chief executive, Qingdeng strode towards the thatched hut while holding his "wogualian".

A group of people stood by the door, carefully peeking inside, and stepped into the house after confirming that there was no one inside.

As soon as one of Qingdeng's feet stepped over the threshold, an unpleasant damp musty smell rushed towards his face.

The choking stench made Qingdeng unconsciously raise his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and held his breath.

This is a narrow space full of dilapidated ruins.

Dust danced in the room sparkling under the light.

The ground that has not been cleaned for a long time is covered with dirt, as if covered with a dark brown carpet.

There are no rooms. Bedrooms, kitchens, nothing.

What Qingdeng and others saw after entering the door was the entire space of this thatched cottage.

While pacing in circles, Qingdeng looked around—he could not see cooking tools such as stoves, pots and pans, nor production tools such as axes and hoes.

The only furniture I could find were wooden cabinets, lampstands, and small mats...

In a word, this thatched hut is not suitable for human survival.

Qingdeng went to a wooden cabinet not far away, opened it, and found that there were only a few sundries in it: a pack of cigarette bags, a bong, an ashtray, and three intact candles.

He opened the pipe, and there was only a handful of hairy tobacco leaves in the bag.

"Did you find anything over there?"

Qingdeng turned his head sideways, and asked Zuo Nazi and the chief executive who were searching for other directions.

Director: "No."

Sanako: "Me neither."

Hearing the second daughter's reply, Qing Deng couldn't help frowning.

This thatched cottage was even more empty and barren than he expected...

Everywhere you look, there are some useless garbage.

Nothing of value could be found, and it was impossible to verify whether this thatched cottage was Takayuki Tachibana's "secret stronghold".

At this moment, "Wogualian", who had been sitting obediently cross-legged in a corner of the room since just now, suddenly asked:

"... who are you? Why are you searching this house?"

Qingdeng took a look at "Wogualian", and then said in a mocking tone:

"We don't even know your name yet, but you asked us about our identities first."

"..."

"Wogualian" pondered silently, thoughtfully.

Just when he opened his mouth and seemed to be about to say something, the director's shout intervened between him and Qingdeng.

"Mr. Ju, look at this! I found a knife in the cabinet over there!"

Holding a handful of wakizashis with a simple appearance, the general manager ran to Qingdeng in three steps at a time.

Wakizashi... finally found something worthy of more attention.

Qingdeng and Zuo Nazi moved closer to the chief executive.

At this time, the attention of the three people was all on the wakizashi in the palm of the chief commander, so no one noticed—"Wogualian" immediately stared round when he heard the chief commander call Qingdeng as "Jiang Jun". Eyes, pupils constricted, muttering: "Orange...?"

Qingdeng took Wakizawa from the chief commander's hand, first looked at the scabbard and the handle of the knife, and then drew the knife out of the sheath.

As Qingdeng expected, there were many brown rust spots on the knife body.

A sword is a delicate weapon that will rust if not cared for regularly.

The maintenance of a samurai sword is not complicated. You only need to prepare three things: knife powder, knife oil and whetstone.

A whetstone is used to sharpen the edge of a knife.

Knife oil is used to prevent rust.

Knife powder is used to wipe off knife oil.

Rust prevention is the top priority in sword maintenance.

Therefore, as long as there is one warrior with a decent family background, one counts as one, and the blade of the sword on his waist is all slick. Touch it with your hands, the knife oil in one hand.

Metal utensils are prone to rust when exposed to water, so it is most taboo for swords to touch water.

In order to protect the saber, many samurai will attach a sheath and sheath to the saber when they go out to prevent moisture from penetrating into the blade and stem.

When maintaining the sword or tasting the sword, you should either keep your mouth shut, or bite a piece of cloth or paper, to prevent your saliva from splashing on the sword.

Back in the early March of last year, there was heavy snowfall outside the Sakurada Gate. The guards of Ii Naosuke put snow-proof sheaths and sheaths on the sabers around their waists step by step, so that when the assassins attacked, they could not pull out the sword immediately. Facing the battle, they lost their opportunity and were defeated by the assassins. Many guards were so anxious that they drew out their sabers with their sheaths and used them as sticks.

Qingdeng held Wakizashi's saber handle tightly, raised his arms, and stood facing the sky.

Under the light, the blade that had not been covered by rust shone with a dazzling cold light.

It is not difficult to see that the quality of this knife is not bad.

In particular, the knife embryo is well-made, and the surface of the knife shines with a clear and cold light.

Qing Deng retracted Wakizaru to his chest, and then removed the eye nail with a familiar technique.

The so-called mesh pin is a circular fixture used to fix the handle and stem of the samurai sword. It is inserted into the hole of the nail on the handle and fixed. It can be made of various materials such as copper, iron, bamboo, and wood.

The stem of a samurai sword is the part that is usually inserted into the handle.

The "stalk" refers to the part of the Japanese sword that is held, and it gets its name from the Japanese "placed in the handle". In addition to being called the knife stem, he can also be called "the center", "handle heart", and "chu".

The structure of the samurai sword can be roughly divided into two parts: the stem and the blade part called the "upper body".

A series of information such as the name of the knife maker, the year, month, and day of production are generally engraved on the stem of the knife.

When Qingdeng took off the pin and separated the handle and stem, he was surprised to find that there was neither the name of the craftsman nor the date of manufacture on the stem of this Wakizashi knife, only a short sentence was engraved on it. discourse—

"Evil ghost killing...?"

The chief executive recited these words softly.

Suddenly, a sudden inquiry suddenly sounded:

"Hey, is your surname 'Ju'? Is it 'Ju' from Brother Ju?"

Qingdeng and the others were all taken aback for a moment, then turned their heads, and followed the prestige to look at the owner of the question...that is, "Wo Gua Lian".

Brother Tachibana (684-757), a historical figure in the Nara period, is said to be one of the editors of the oldest Waka collection in Japan: "Manyoshu".

In Japanese, "orange" is pronounced "tachibana".

Also pronounced "tachibana" surname, and "tachibana".

"Wogualian"'s inquiry should be to confirm whether Qingdeng's surname is "Ju" or "Lihua".

Qingdeng originally wanted to ignore "Wogualian", but he hesitated after seeing the other party's glowing and enthusiastic eyes.

"...The 'July' of Brother Ju."

As soon as Qingdeng's words fell, the expression on the "wogualian" face suddenly became complicated.

However, this is only a blink of an eye.

In the next breath, the expression of "Wogualian" changed from "complex and unspeakable" to "fight it out".

He straightened his back, sat upright, with a solemn expression, and said the self-introduction word by word that caused the expressions of Qingdeng and others to change drastically:

"Sakura Onodera! Takayuki Tachibana's comrade-in-arms! What is your relationship with Takayuki Tachibana...?"
