I formed the strongest swordsman group

This question has been hidden in Qingdeng's heart for a long time.

Takayuki Tachibana, Onodera...why would they do something that is useless to them?

In this society where the class is extremely solidified, unless there are noble people to help, even if you make great achievements, you will still have a long career.

Even Qingdeng, who was talented and made new achievements repeatedly, was able to rise steadily in the officialdom because he was favored by Tokugawa Ieshige and Tenzhangin.

Even if Takashi Tachibana succeeds in exposing the despicable deeds of the Qingshui clan and the Fazhu Party, he can probably only raise a little salary, get promoted from the same heart, and help him, not much more.

As for Onodera...whether the fraudulent medicine is exposed or not is related to his future.

He is a cadre of the Qingshui clan.

If the Qingshui clan was injured or collapsed, it would only be bad for him, not good.

No matter from which angle you think about it, Takayuki Tachibana and Onodera's insistence on investigating the strange medicine is a very puzzling thing...

In fact, Qingdeng's question this time is not only asking Onodera, but also asking himself.

Because... isn't the self who is focusing on investigating the strange medicine right now also a reckless person who is just throwing himself into the stupid things of "only bad, no good"?

To be honest, Qingdeng didn't quite understand why he was so obsessed with the strange medicine,

To avenge the Kanazawa brothers and sisters?

It seems to be, but not quite.

After listening to Qingdeng's question, Onodera did not answer immediately.

He lowered his eyelids, and a smile gradually formed on his cheeks.

"Well...you just...found a wakizashi in that thatched hut...the words engraved on the stem of that wakizasa...is the answer..."

Qing Deng was stunned for a moment, then whispered softly:

"Evil ghost killing..."

Onodera nodded lightly:

"Yes...'Evil Ghost Extermination'..."

"I'm not a good person... I don't dare to claim 'conscience discovery'..."

"But...selling such a dangerous drug to the world...this is really breaking my bottom line..."

"Those who did such a thing... Luo Sha and others... are simply the incarnations of evil spirits..."

"Tachibana Longzhi and I...neither want money...nor fame...just want to kill these evil spirits...that's all..."

Speaking of this, Onodera suddenly paused as if recalling something.

"Ah... I almost forgot to say..."

"Mr. Tachibana...after you...if you have a chance...you can go back to the thatched cottage...to dig out the relics left by Takashi Tachibana..."

"Tachibana Takayuki... He buried a large wooden box... in the southeast corner of the thatched cottage... There are a total of... 9 swords hidden in the box...!"

"These 9 knives...and the wakizai you found just now...are Takayuki Tachibana...to be used...to fight against the Qingshui Clan and the Fazhu Party...to kill each other... ..."

"It's a pity...in the end...we couldn't use them..."

"Tachibana Takayuki considers...if he takes these knives to fight...after he dies...people from the Qingshui clan and the Fazhu Party...may be based on the...name and production time of the knife maker recorded on the knife stem ...to find trouble with the knife maker according to the picture..."

"So...in order to avoid implicating the swordsmith... Tachibana Takayuki commissioned the swordsmith to cast these knives...forbid the swordsmith to record the maker's name...and the time of making..."

"Instead, engrave his ambition: kill evil spirits..."

"Cough! Cough cough cough! Cough cough!"

Onodera coughed violently again.

This time, he vomited out a large amount of dark and turbid blood, as well as some pieces of internal organs.

"Oh... my eyes... seem to be getting less and less clear..."

Onodera's eyes seemed to be out of focus, staring blankly at the void in front of him.

"Hahahaha... I've finally...reached my limit..."

His neck seemed to have lost its bones, and his head was hanging boringly against the rock wall behind him.

"Sure enough... I'm still so unwilling..."

"I really want... to witness... the demise of the strange medicine..."

He raised his trembling right hand, grasped and groped repeatedly in mid-air, as if he was looking for something.

Looking at this scene, Qingdeng knew in his heart: The time for Xiaoye Temple has come...

"Mr. Onodera..."

He instinctively wanted to say something to send this venerable brave man his last journey.

At this time, he suddenly remembered a certain book he had read in his previous life.

Qingdeng has always loved reading.

Although he has no religious beliefs, he once read a famous line that is immortal in a certain book.

In an instant, under the surprised gazes of Sanazi and the chief executive, Qingdeng stretched out his right palm and tightly grasped Onodera's dirty hand in mid-air.

"You have fought the good fight; you have finished the way you should go; you have kept the way you should keep. From now on, a crown of righteousness is reserved for you."

Qingdeng said softly.

The words come from "New Testament 2 Timothy".

St. Paul wrote short and sonorous comments for his magnificent life.

"Mr. Ju, he...has..."

Sanako hesitated to speak.

Hearing this, Qingdeng looked up.

Onodera in front of him was already out of breath.

"...Did he hear what I just said?"

The chief nodded slightly.

"He heard it... You see, he seems to be sleeping peacefully..."

Qingdeng raised his eyes and stared straight at Onodera's face.

On the face with lightly closed eyes and a smile on the corner of the mouth, calmness, calmness, and tranquility... the three emotions are skillfully mixed together.

"……That's good."

Qingdeng put down Onodera's hand, then untied the scarf around his neck, and gently covered Onodera's body.

"Ah! Hey! There are strange noises in this cave!"

"What?!"

"Where? Where?"

...

Suddenly, there were noisy and approaching footsteps outside the cave.

The chief executive and Sanako raised their swords and stood up as if they were facing an enemy.

"Found it! Here! Onodera is here! Woohoo!"

The two women took the lead and started close combat with the enemy group rushing into the cave.

The battle had already begun, but it was strange that Qingdeng didn't stand up to meet the enemy.

He still sat on the same spot, looking directly at Onodera's corpse without blinking, his eyes were neither sad nor happy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

On one side is a mess of swords, lights and swords.

On the other side, there are elusive eyes.

In a small cave, two completely different worlds appeared.

"go to hell!!"

Seeing that Qing Deng was motionless, a certain Hei Muyi took the opportunity to grope behind him.

He looked excited, thinking that he had caught Qingdeng's weakness, that Qingdeng's head was at his fingertips.

However, just as he raised the knife, Qing Deng's figure instantly disappeared in front of his eyes.

"—?!"

"You really look like mosquitoes in summer... Buzzing all the time... No matter how hard you try to drive them away... I'm getting annoyed with you."

After finishing speaking, Qing Deng, who dodged to the side of this person, unleashed his saber glow——

Boom!

The blow that was unleashed in an instant, sent the man flying, with such astonishing power that he hit the rock wall directly above his head.

Suddenly, the surroundings became extremely silent.

Whether it's the second daughter or the Hei mother's clothes, they couldn't help but stop what they were doing at this moment, staring blankly at Qingdeng who was still maintaining the saber-stretching posture.

Looking at the companion who was blown away and who is currently exhaling more air than breathing in, all the beings in black mother clothes had almost the same thought: Hey, hey, isn't it... Blowing a big living person away with a knife... What a terrible power is it?

As for the chief executive and Sanako, their pretty faces were full of pure surprise.

"Mr. Tangerine...?"

The chief executive murmured.

Both the chief executive and Sanazi were quite familiar with Qingdeng's demeanor and demeanor.

Whenever there is anything strange about Qingdeng, they can immediately notice it.

Therefore, at this time, the two women could clearly feel——under Qingdeng's calm appearance, the hot and boiling emotions like magma.

Swish!

Qingdeng swung his knife vigorously, making a sharp "shua" sound of breaking the wind.

The blood attached to the knife splashed down and turned into a neat "plum blossom branch" on the ground.

"Who else?"

Qingdeng's wolf-like eyes followed the blade, sweeping across the frightened faces.

"They popped up one after another... Well, come on, come as many as there are."

Qingdeng lowered his waist, changed to holding the knife with both hands, and put on a posture.

"Those who want to live, just run away."

"Those who want to die, just do it together!"

"bring it on!"

A strange brilliance burst out from the depths of Qingdeng's eyes like flames.

...

...

Kikyo Mountain, somewhere——

"Well... the stars tonight are so beautiful."

Luo Sha stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the starry sky.

"Ne, hurry up and take a look, the weather tonight is very good, you can see all the stars in the sky clearly."

Nue, who was cleaning the bow, shook his head.

"Lord Rakshasa, I'm sorry, but my subordinates don't know how to appreciate it."

"Tsk! You are just like Ogakumaru, you are very boring! If Orochi-sama and Shuten-douji were here, they would have happily brought the wine bottle, raised their eyes and stared at the stars with me, and drank to their heart's content."

After finishing speaking, Rakshasa seemed to have realized something and whispered softly:

"The west wind blows the old Dongting waves, and Xiang Jun has white hair all night. After being drunk, he doesn't know that the sky is in the water, and the bed is full of clear dreams to press the galaxy."

"Lord Rakshasa, I'm sorry, my subordinates haven't studied, so I don't understand much."

"I didn't read it to you again!"

After glancing at Nue angrily, Raksha turned his gaze back to the starry sky above his head.

"Looking at the cherry blossoms at night in spring, looking at the stars in summer, enjoying the full moon in autumn, and seeing the first snow in winter, the ancients do not deceive me. Ah, although it is not summer, but winter. When summer comes this year, I will rent a small boat and enjoy it while traveling Boating on the Kanda River, while drinking wine and watching the stars, when the mood comes, I write a haiku or Chuanliu; when the wine gets stronger, I fall asleep, and wake up naturally when I sleep... Huh, it’s really exciting.”

"Lord Rakshasa, please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying: Indulging in pleasure is a taboo for our comrades."

"Oh! I know!"

While lamenting, Raksha raised his hands up in a gesture of surrender.

"I don't eat, drink and have fun every day, I only relax occasionally-this level of self-entertainment, isn't it called indulging in pleasure?"

Luo Sha stopped for a while, and then let out a long breath of "ah".

"The whole law punishes the party from top to bottom, and there are very few people who like elegance. It really makes me feel lonely..."

"After all, we are men of lofty ideals, not literati."

"Hey, I see!"

Rakshasa raised his hand again, in a gesture of surrender.

"Ne, you are just like my old lady. I suspect that Orochi-sama ordered Shuten-douji to lend you to me so that you can supervise my life style."

"...Master Luosha, in fact, the reason why Lord Orochi sent me to Kanto is not only for me to provide assistance to you, but also for part of the purpose, which is to encourage you from the sidelines."

"oh?"

Although Luo Sha raised his eyebrows, there was no surprise on his face.

"Lord Rakshasa, Lord Orochi is not very satisfied with your recent performance..."

"Unsatisfied? Why? Is there anything I haven't done well recently?"

"Master Orochi thinks that your efficiency is too slow. The layout of Kanto is related to the success of our collapse, and your recent achievements are lackluster."

"This... well, I really hope that Master Orochi can understand my difficulties."

Raksha shook his head, with a wry smile on his face.

"Kanto is the headquarters of the Edo shogunate, and the Nanji faction, Hitotsubashi faction and other forces are intertwined."

"While I am laying out the Kanto and advancing the plan, I have to be cautious at all times."

"Our Fazhu Party's energy in Kanto is not as strong as in Kansai."

"If it draws the shogunate's close attention too early, or provokes some difficult and ruthless people... such as the 'sword master' Nantani Seiichiro of the martial arts institute, the 'Qi Chi Wushuang' Oishi Jin, or the Chiba family's' Edo's strongest, Eijiro Chiba, even I can't get out of here unscathed."

"Unless Ogakumaru and Shuten-douji come in person, who can suppress Chiba Eijiro and those monsters at the martial art school?"

"Under such an environment full of constraints, I was able to achieve the results I have achieved today. I think I have done a pretty good job, and I have lived up to Master Orochi's expectations of me."

As soon as Luocha's words fell, Nue said lightly:

"Lord Rakshasa, I fully understand your difficulties. But...you should also know that Lord Orochi doesn't like to listen to people complaining."

"……Of course I know."

Luo Sha lowered his head, cold sweat dripping from his delicate brows.

When Rakshasa was silent, Nue silently continued:

"What's more, Master Orochi may not agree with your complaint."

"In terms of the difficulty of the situation and the complexity of the environment, in all of Japan, is there any place that compares to Gyeonggi, where Lord Orochi and Master Otakemaru sit in person?"

"The imperial court in Kyoto, the great merchants in Osaka, the feudal lords of the Western Kingdom, the disciples of Oshio Heihachiro, the Kyoto Shoji and Osaka Joshiro of the shogunate, and that troublesome gourd house..."

"What's more, according to the latest information, Ogata Yidaosai is currently living in seclusion in Gyeonggi."

Rakshasa's pupils shrank suddenly.

"Ogata Issai is in Gyeonggi? Is this information credible?"

"This is the information that Tamamo-mae-sama personally searched and searched. It should be credible. However, it is still unknown where Ogata Isai-sai lived in seclusion. Lord Orochi sent a search team to Kyoto, and he specially ordered Master Otakemaru to personally lead the team."

"Ogakumaru? Heh, this task is quite suitable for him. If you are lucky enough to find Ogata Ittosai, and then unfortunately have a conflict with the other party... the only person who can deal with this situation is Ogakumaru."

"Master Rakshasa, I think so too. It's just...Although Lord Ogakemaru is already extraordinary, he shouldn't be the opponent of Ogata Ittosai right now?"

"Of course. But he should be able to get out of Ogata Isai's knife... he should be able to do this kind of thing."

"...That's true."

Today's chapter reveals a lot of new information about the Falun Gong Party. Anyone with a heart should be able to guess what kind of work the three major cadres are doing in the Fazhu Party.

I found that some book friends always confuse "Kandong" with "Dongguo"...these two are not a geographical concept.

"Kanto" mainly refers to Guanbazhou, which is the plain area centered on Edo.

"East Country" refers to East Japan, that is, the half of Japan east of Sekigahara (the plain located in the central part of Japan). Covering Kanto, Oshu, Dewa, Koshu and other regions.

Kanto is the headquarters of the Edo Shogunate, and most of the entire Kanto area is directly under the jurisdiction of the Edo Shogunate.

Many book lovers think that Dongguo is the headquarters of the Edo Shogunate, but this is not the case.

Dongguo...especially the Northeast region has a lot of foreign daimyos, such as the Date family whose territory has a total stone height of more than 600,000 stone (that is, the family of "One-eyed Dragon" Date Masamune)

In order to guard against the vassals in the Northeast, the shogunate sealed a powerful pro-vassal daimyo in the Northeast region, that is, one of the vassal states that the shogunate relied on most in the previous article: Aizu Domain.

The most important mission of the Aizu clan is to sit in the northeast and deter the clans in the northeast.

To sum up, the Edo shogunate did not overwhelm the sky in Dongguo.

However, compared with the West Country, the influence of the Edo Shogunate in the East Country is indeed a bit greater.
