I formed the strongest swordsman group

The person who was "whitewashed" was Nishino Hoshijiro.

Tokugawa Ieshige and Tenzhangin highly affirmed Nishino's achievements.

Therefore, in the stories they made up, there is also the figure of Nishino—like Qingdeng, he secretly accepted this top-secret mission, and finally died a heroic sacrifice on the eve of dawn.

Not only was Nishino's body buried generously, but the pensions received by his family members were also distributed according to the highest standard, which can be described as extremely honorable.

All in all, the two mother and son successfully fooled the world.

Except for a very few people who knew the whole truth, such as Sanazi, Zongsi, and Erzhong sisters, most of the people, including the friends in the Weiwei Hall, thought that Qingdeng's "disappearance" during that time was real. It's for a top-secret mission.

Qingdeng was able to recuperate peacefully in the hospital like today, instead of being arrested and imprisoned, and he was widely and fanatically worshiped by the people of Edo.

The two of them greatly elevated Qingdeng's personal image.

A person who is self-serving and devoted to public affairs, and forgetting selfishness, a person who kills himself for benevolence and pleads for the people - how can the people not feel good about him?

Compared with Qingdeng, Ooka Echizen seems to be nothing more than that.

It can be said that without the support of the mother and son, the "Nioh craze" spreading across the streets and alleys of Edo would certainly not be as wild as it is now.

Although it is only a personal speculation, Qingdeng believes that his smooth "cleaning" must have the secret help of his boss Kiryu and the old man Mucun.

Huluwu is a mysterious existence with unfathomable background who dares to challenge the French party.

If it was said that there were no officials in the shogunate who were "connected to the gourd house" or "close to the gourd house", Qingdeng would definitely not believe it.

Although Kiryu and the others should not have the ability to interfere in state affairs, it should not be a problem to mobilize the energy of the gourd house, win over some officials, and ask them to say a few good words for Qingdeng.

Qingdeng once asked Boss Kiryu in private, trying to confirm whether this was really the case.

However, in the face of Qingdeng's eager questioning, Boss Kiryu just smiled and did not respond directly.

A prisoner who was imprisoned, a wanted criminal who was offered a reward by the government for allegedly killing innocent people, a popular hero—in just over a month, Qingdeng's identity changed three times in a row.

His extremely tortuous life experience has once again deeply confirmed what is called "Feng Shui turns around".

By the way——Qingdeng's saber: fixed ghosts and gods, returned to his hands smoothly.

Since the occurrence of the "Akabane Miemen Massacre", Dingguishen has been strictly kept in the treasury of Beifansuo.

Although he now has a better and more powerful new knife, Qingdeng still has a lot of affection for this old partner who has been with him for a long time.

When holding the handle of Dingguishen's knife again, he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings.

At this time, Kondo seemed to be remembering something, and cast a meaningful look at Qingdeng, with an intriguing smile on his face.

"It stands to reason that at this time, there should be as many old men and matchmakers as there are hordes of matchmakers, and they are going to get you, the unmarried rich husband-in-law."

As Kondo was talking, Harada Sanosuke secretly poked Nagakura Shinpachi beside him with his elbow:

"Why did Kondo call Mr. Tachibana a turtle?"

Nagakura Shinpachi: "Saunosuke, shut up."

Kondo's voice continues:

"It's just... thanks to that passionate kiss between you and her, now no family will come to bother us for the matter of 'proposing marriage'."

Keisuke Yamanan added half-jokingly:

"Who dares to rob a man from the daughter of the Qianye family? Wouldn't that be too self-defeating?"

After hearing this, Qing Deng couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

The air in the ward instantly became cheerful.

Everyone knows who the "she" in Isamu Kondo's mouth refers to.

All of a sudden, everyone's expressions became playful.

Even Saitoichi, who had always been aloof, had a faint smile on his face at the moment.

Kondo snickered, and continued:

"Mr. Ju, I won't go around with you anymore. Tell me, when will your wedding with Ms. Chiba Sanako be held? I, who have been married before, can help you organize the wedding."

Qingdeng took a deep breath, suppressed his embarrassment, forced himself to be calm, and said casually:

"Kondo-kun... it's too early to talk about this now..."

"It's not early at all." Kondo put on a serious face, "You are 19 years old, and Sanako is 23 years old. Regardless of Sanako's side, you are now at the most suitable age for marriage."

As soon as Isamu Kondo's voice fell, Hijikata Toshizo whispered softly:

"Obviously you were only married when you were 26 years old, why now you are confidently despising others for getting married too late?"

That night, when Zuo Nazi threw himself into Qingdeng's arms, there were still many onlookers on both sides of the street.

In other words, the two of them kissed passionately in full view at the time...

Such a move, even in the civilized 21st century, is a bold act that will definitely attract attention.

This is true even in modern society, not to mention the Edo period when the folk customs were still very conservative.

In the Edo period, even old couples who have been married for many years and have deep feelings may not be able to pull down their faces and do such heroic things.

Sanako has always shown people with a high-cold image of "you can only watch from a distance and not play with it".

There are eight hundred people who propose marriage to her, if not one thousand.

As for the people who like and secretly love her, there are countless.

However, whether it is a person who boldly courts or a person who loves secretly, their ending is the same - being ignored by Sanako.

Even though she has become a 23-year-old leftover woman, Sanako is always alone and never gets too close to any man.

Over time, many people have a consensus: no one will be able to pick off this high mountain flower.

Qingdeng's side is also in a similar situation.

Ever since he first became famous, Yuelao and matchmakers have approached him constantly, wanting to propose marriage to him, but he politely turned them all down.

As a result... this "difficult to attack" man and woman unexpectedly became a pair without anyone noticing it!

And that's not the most jaw-dropping thing.

What is even more shocking is that many people saw clearly at that time: the person who threw himself into each other's arms and offered a kiss was not the man, but the woman!

It turns out that Kaolin Flower also has such an active side?

This makes the public even more exciting!

Those who had proposed marriage to Sanako and tried their best to please Sanako were heartbroken when they heard the news.

Throughout the ages, the general public loves to listen to gossip, especially the gossip related to the love between men and women.

For a moment, it was like dropping a heavy bomb, and the city was full of wind and rain, and the sky was filled with joy, and some families were happy and some were sad.

Who is the happy person... Needless to say.

Chiba Shigetaro has been red-faced recently, and walks with wind. He always greets passing wild cats and says "meow meow meow" when he walks on the street.

As for those who are worried, there are too many.

Those who are jealous of Qingdeng and those who envy Zuo Nazi are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges River.

Sanako is recognized as the number one beauty in Edo! The dream goddess of countless people!

The Goddess's Heart Has Belonged - How Can One Not Be Jealous? How not to hate?

As for Qingdeng, he also enjoys high popularity among young girls in Edo, and many young girls in Huaichun regard him as their ideal husband.

Tall, young and promising, unrivaled genius, prosperous official career... how many people can meet all these conditions?

What's more, Qingdeng himself is also a very decent looking handsome guy.

After the news that "Qingdeng and Sanako have an ambiguous relationship" came out, the number of people who came to matchmaking with them dropped sharply, almost to zero

Just like what Keisuke Shannan teased just now—robbing Sanako for a man? Who can't bear it? Why do you want to humiliate yourself? Who has the confidence to compete and fight in the ring with Zuo Nazi?

It's the same with Qingdeng—robbing women from "King Ren"? Do you deserve it? Regardless of whether you have the confidence and qualifications, let's talk about the most important question first: Do you dare? Your competitor is a ruthless person who has beheaded countless people and successively wiped out the Koyi Group and the Qingshui Clan.

Sanako is the daughter of "the most famous martial arts school in Japan". Although her family is noble, there are still many people with better backgrounds than her.

However... the distinguished family is only one of the most insignificant advantages in Sanako.

Even leaving aside metaphysical things such as temperament, knowledge, style of conversation, and talent, just talking about the most vulgar appearance——

A person with a better family background than Sanako does not have Sanako's beauty and figure.

Someone who looks better than Sanako... There is no one who looks better than Sanako.

Although Sanako's appearance can't be said to be "beautiful all over the world", at least in the corner of Edo, no one is more handsome than her.

Among all the people Qingdeng has met, the only one who can compete with Zuo Nazi in appearance is Tianzhangyuan.

The looks of Kinoshita Mai and the chief executive are both slightly inferior to Sanako.

If we rank the appearance of these three girls in order... roughly Sanako\u003eKinoshita Mai≈Sousuke.

Of course, although the appearance of the three women is quite different, Qingdeng's affection for them is the same! There will never be a preference for who has the prettiest face or the bigger bear!

Even the men who hate Qingdeng the most and the women who are most jealous of Sanako have to admit one fact: Qingdeng and Sanako are really well suited, and they are nothing more than the standard "beauty befits a hero".

She is talented and beautiful, so it's our turn to object?

"...Mr. Ju, I really belong to you."

At this time, a gentle tone passed through Qingdeng's ears.

Qing Deng was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look—the smiling face of the chief executive was in front of him.

"Even the 'No. 1 Beauty in Edo' has fallen in love with you, and the relationship between the two of you is so close that you can flirt with each other on the street like no one else... oh~~ um, so that's how it is, so that's how it is..."

The general manager smiled so softly that his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

But I don't know why, after seeing the smile of the general manager, Qingdeng not only didn't feel the slightest warmth, but shivered, and the hairs all over his body stood on end...

...

...

Kondo and the others stayed in Qingdeng's ward for half an hour before leaving.

Just as they filed out and were about to return to the test hall, Harada Sanosuke suddenly let out a long breath and said with emotion:

"Hey, Mr. Orange, I don't know how much reward you can get this time?"

The shogunate has not yet announced the rewards for Qingdeng and Nishino.

According to legend, Nishino's family salary will be promoted to Qianshi, and the family's family will also be promoted to the banner.

As for Qingdeng...

Qingdeng's contribution is really too great!

It is so big that it is hard to imagine what kind of glory he will face in the future!

Some people say that Qingdeng's family salary will increase by at least 3,000 shi; others say that Qingdeng will be promoted several times in a row, from a military officer to an important shogunate with gold and purple... You can say anything.

Recently, in teahouses, izakayas, bathhouses and other crowded market areas, people can be heard discussing with great interest how the shogunate will reward Qingdeng next.

After hearing this, Qingdeng raised the corners of his mouth and smiled without saying a word.

Hijikata Toshizo deliberately walked at the end of the crowd.

Just when he was about to pass by Qingdeng, he suddenly lowered his head, put his lips close to Qingdeng's ear, and said softly:

"Juice, how many women you want to marry is your freedom, I don't want to dictate your love life. But, please don't harm the chief... My sister-in-law is wronged."

The moment the words fell, Qing Deng felt a sharp gaze cut on his body.

Before he could respond, Hijikata Toshizo had already walked away.

"I won't make her feel wronged..." he murmured softly.

In the large and noisy ward until just now, only Qingdeng... and the chief director remained.

Ever since Qingdeng was hospitalized, everyone in the testing hall has been taking turns to take care of him.

Today's "person on duty" is the director general.

"Mr. Orange, do you want to eat oranges?"

The general manager pushed a basket of tangerines to his knees—this was one of the presents that Kondo and others brought when they came to visit Qingdeng today.

"No, I'm not hungry yet."

"Then I'll put this basket of oranges here first. If you want to eat them, you can tell me and I'll help you peel them."

"That... Miss Okita..."

"Um?"

The smile that the chief executive showed just now made Qing Deng feel creepy, flashed in his mind.

"Those things between me and Ms. Sanako... make you unhappy?"

"...That's not true."

The chief executive pursed his vermilion lips with an emotional look on his face.

"After all, I already knew your feelings for Ms. Sanako and Ms. Kinoshita. I just... feel a little reconciled."

"Unwilling?"

"At the critical moment when you need the company of others the most, it's not me who is by your side... This makes me feel a little reconciled."

Speaking of this, the chief executive bit his lower lip lightly, thoughtfully.

"However, if I don't feel uncomfortable after hearing about the incident between you and Ms. Sanako... that's not the case."

Before she could speak, she suddenly supported the tatami with both hands, leaned out, and sat on Qingdeng's lap——

Qingdeng felt a soft touch on his lips.

"Okay... Now I'm a little more psychologically balanced."

The chief executive left Qingdeng's body and sat back to his original position. A charming blush appeared on both sides of his handsome cheeks, emotions in his eyes fluctuated, and the corners of his seductive mouth rose quietly.

"...You can 'balance' a little more, it doesn't matter to me."

Qingdeng said solemnly.

"You are still recovering from your injuries, restrain your desire for me."

The chief gave Qingdeng an angry look.

While saying this, she seemed to recall some embarrassing scene, and subconsciously stretched her hands back to cover her buttocks.

At this time, the sound of calm footsteps from far to near came from the direction of the corridor.

With a bang, the door was pushed open.

"Mr. Ju, Xiao Si, long time no see."

"Miss Guang?!", "Sister?!"

Qingdeng and the chief executive exclaimed in unison.

The person who came was the eldest sister of the head office: Okita Hikaru.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Hikaru Okita walked quickly to Qingdeng's bed with steady and generous steps, and sat down with his knees bent.

"I came to visit Mr. Ju. I heard that Mr. Ju was seriously injured during the mission, so I rushed over immediately."

"Ah, Miss Guang, you're really being too reckless..."

Okita Hikaru did not live in Edo, she and her husband settled in Hino in Koshu Kaido.

According to the footsteps of women... It takes at least 2 days to walk from Hinojuku to Edo.

In this era of underdeveloped transportation, Hikaru Okita made a special trip for two days to visit him... This made Qingdeng feel guilty.

"it's okay no problem."

Hikaru shook his head lightly.

"Compared to confirming with your own eyes whether you are safe or not, other things are trivial matters."

As she spoke, she showed a friendly smile.

I have to say that the Okita sisters are really similar.

Similar looks, similar beautiful smiles.

Looking at Hikaru Okita's bright smile, Qingdeng felt like a spring breeze.

"Mr. Ju, how is your body recovering? Is there any problem?"

"I'm in good health, nothing serious! The doctor just said that I'll be able to go home in a few days."

"...Since that's the case, then I can rest assured."

Suddenly, Okita Hikaru's beautiful smile disappeared instantly.

She put her hands on her legs and looked down at Qingdeng who was lying on the bed expressionlessly.

"Mr. Ju, I'll get straight to the point. Tell me, what's going on between you and that Chiba Sana?"

Qing Deng froze.

The chief's delicate body also froze.

"As soon as I entered Edo, I heard someone say, 'Tachibana Qingdeng and Chiba Sanako are a match made in heaven' and so on... What's going on? Can you give me an explanation? I always thought The person you like is Xiao Si...I always thought that you and Xiao Si would be able to form a loving couple..."

Although Okita Hikaru's tone was calm, there was a sharp aura of slash hidden in his words.

"...Miss Guang, this is a long story..."

In order to get rid of the confused expression, Qingdeng took the teacup next to his pillow to his mouth.

While he was racking his brains for words—

Slap, slap, slap, slap...

The sound of footsteps from far to near could be heard outside the room again.

Wow——As the door opened, a pair of glasses and a lovely red figure came into view of Qingdeng and the others.

"A Wu? Boss Kiryu?"

Qing Deng gasped.

Looking at the "enlarged version of Okita Souji" who was kneeling beside Qingdeng's bed, Boss Kiryu was startled for a moment, and then immediately put on a polite yet distanced smile:

"I remember you are Okita-kun's eldest sister, right? We met at Kondo-kun's wedding. I am the shopkeeper of Senjiya, Kiryu Kazuma."

"I'm Teyo of Senjiya, Mai Kinoshita."

Kinoshita Mai bowed and gave her name.

"Ah, so it's Mr. Kiryu and Ms. Kinoshita. I remember you too! Gui'an, long time no see!"

Hikaru Okita deserves to be a mature woman who has taken on the responsibility of supporting her family since she was a child and has been struggling in society for many years.

In just an instant, her facial expression switched from "cold eyebrows and cold eyes" to "business-like smile".

After the two parents exchanged greetings, Kiryu turned his eyes sideways and cast a charming gaze at Qingdeng.

Qingdeng subconsciously looked away, looking at the empty void...

Kinoshita Mai and Boss Kiryu are among the closest people to Qingdeng.

Therefore, the two of them naturally came to visit Qingdeng often.

Every time Kiryu came, the atmosphere lingering between him and Qingdeng would become extraordinarily weird.

The reason is also because of the passionate kiss between him and Sanako in the street...

Just as Hikaru Okita always thought that Qingdeng would be with the chief executive, Boss Kiryu also always thought that Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai would form a pair sooner or later.

The kiss between Qingdeng and Sanako made the boss Kiryu, who has always been sophisticated, show an indescribably strange expression on his face, staring into the distance, and remained silent for a long time...

But the strange thing is that he didn't ask Qingdeng about this matter.

And Qingdeng has never found the right time to explain.

At this time, Kinoshita Mai who didn't seem to understand the air, bounced to the side of Qingdeng's bed, with her pretty face close to the tip of Qingdeng's nose.

"Qingdeng, how do you feel? Has your body improved?"

"Qingdeng...?"

Okita Hikaru softly repeated Kinoshita Mai's address to Qingdeng, his eyes narrowed, and his lips were tightly pursed.

Throat dry, skin numb...Qingdeng felt dizzy for a while.

Also at this time——

Slap, slap, slap, slap...

In the direction of the corridor, footsteps from far to near sounded again.

Qingdeng didn't bother to raise his head - the way of walking was graceful and elegant. It is impossible for Qingdeng to get it wrong now, he has already guessed who it is...

as expected--

"Huh? Why are there so many people today?"

Chiba Shigetaro opened the door with one hand, and strode into the room with a hand-sized cloth bag in the other.

Sanako stepped across the threshold slowly - and then froze in place for an instant.

Kinoshita Mai, Souji, Boss Kiryu, Souji's sister... Looking at the lineup in the room, especially after discovering that the old and young duo of Senshiya were also present, Sanako involuntarily clenched and overlapped in front of him. hands.

"Mr. Orange, come! Here it is!"

The very nervous Chiba Shigetaro put the cloth bag in Qingdeng's pillow.

"This is the Korean ginseng I bought specially for your body!"

Qing Deng was startled.

"Korean ginseng? How can I accept such an expensive gift?"

"Hahahahaha! Mr. Ju, you don't need to be polite to me!"

Chiba Shigetaro laughed out loud, showing a smug expression.

"I'm your uncle! Since we are a family, why should we be so divided?"

Boss Kiryu: "..."

Okita Hikaru: "..."

Director: "..."

Kinoshita Mai: "..."

Sanako: "..."

Qingdeng: "..."

In an instant, the ward was surrounded by unparalleled silence...

"Huh? Did I say something wrong?"

The nervous Chiba Shigetaro still didn't realize the problem.

"...Boss Kiryu, Miss Hikaru, Shigetaro, please listen to me!"

Qingdeng gritted his teeth sharply, as if he wanted to attack Qingshui Mansion again.

"I like Chiba Sanako, Kinoshita Mai and Okita Souji!"

"So—I want to marry them now! Allow me to marry them!"
