I formed the strongest swordsman group

"Tangerine-kun..."

At this time, Souji, like a crab, quietly moved sideways to Qingteng and held his shoulders.

"General Secretary..."

Qingden turned his head and met the caring eyes of his boss.

At the moment when his stomach hurt repeatedly, the director's gaze was so dazzling and warm.

——Ah...Xiao Si is indeed my little cotton-padded jacket...

Just when Qing Deng had this thought in his mind——

"Why are you standing there stunned? Apologize quickly."

The general manager suddenly put away the caring look in his eyes, straightened his face, and said this seriously.

"Huh? Apologize? Me?"

"Of course, didn't you make Miss Sanako and Miss Kinoshita unhappy? Since it was your mistake, of course you have to take the initiative to apologize."

Qingdeng couldn't help but feel bitter when he heard this.

He is not a willful person. If he really made a mistake, he would have the courage to admit it and actively apologize.

But the problem is: he doesn't even know what he did wrong.

——Is it because I hurt Ah Wu’s vagina last time, so Ah Wu came to me to settle the score? But that’s not right, how long ago did this happen?

——As for Sanako... I don't seem to have offended Sanako recently... Could it be because the fact that I have always been intimate with A Wu has been exposed recently...

Looking at Qingdeng who was in deep self-reflection, the expressions of the two women turned cold again.

Sanako and Mai Kinoshita: "...Tachibana-kun/Aoden, I always feel like you have a lot of secrets?"

The two people who usually don't deal with each other have a surprisingly tacit understanding today. Not only their actions, but also the timing and content of their words are so consistent.

A strong sense of crisis was like the dark clouds before a storm, overwhelming Qingdeng's mind.

"That's absolutely not the case!"

At the moment of lightning, just like a conditioned reflex, he instantly changed into a sincere but firm tone.

A must-have for scumbags...ah, no, corrections are the two talents necessary to keep the relationship between lovers stable - "Emperor's Art" and "Trickster +1", which can be activated instantly!

"I never have any secrets in front of you! I'm just thinking about what I did wrong!"

I have to say that the talent effects of "Emperor's Art" and "Trickster +1" are really amazing.

Looking at Qingdeng's sincere expression and listening to Qingdeng's sincere tone, the expressions of the two women softened a little - of course, just "a little".

Sanako and Mai Kinoshita: "Then can you explain why you suddenly called me and Miss Kinoshita/Miss Chiba?"

Pah, pah, pah...

The two women walked at a leisurely pace, expressionless, and slowly approached Qingdeng from left to right.

Just when their figures were like a mountain pressing on Qingdeng's shoulders... the rescuers arrived.

Maybe it was the noisy noise outside that came into the house. Isamu Kondo turned back to the entrance with a confused look on his face.

"Huh? Tachibana-kun, you're back. Huh? What's going on? Why are Miss Sanako and Miss Kinoshita here?"

At this moment, Qingdeng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and asked urgently:

"Brother Kondo, you came just in time! Are all the brothers at the trial defense hall?"

The brothers Aoto mentioned naturally refer to the nine people who accompany him day and night - Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji, Yamanan Keisuke, Inoue Genzaburo, Nagakura Shinpachi, Saito Ichi, Toudo Heisuke, Sanosuke Harada.

They are Qingdeng's close friends and brothers, as well as his loyal confidants.

"Well, everyone is here, what's wrong?"

"That's good, could you please help me gather everyone?"

…

…

After a while——

Aoto's brothers, headed by Isamu Kondo, plus Souji, Mai Kinoshita, and Sanako, gathered at the dojo of the Trial Guard Hall.

They formed a fan shape, and sitting in the center of the fan shape was naturally Qingdeng.

"Mr. Tachibana, what are you doing here? Even Miss Chiba and Miss Kinoshita are here, why did you suddenly call us all here? Is there something important you need to tell us?"

Harada Sanosuke asked while looking around.

"It's nothing serious, I just want to give you something."

As he spoke, Qingden untied the cloth bag on his back, placed it on the tatami in front of his knees with a clang, and pulled off the knot to reveal the contents inside.

Everyone leaned forward curiously, and then their expressions were dominated by strong shock.

"these are?"

Kondo Isamu's eyes widened in surprise.

8 katana, 1 naginata, 1 spear, 1 wakizashi - they lay quietly in front of everyone, stealing everyone's attention.

Hijikata Toishan stared at one of the swords with straight eyes.

"Is this... Izumi Mamoru Kanesada?"

Qing Deng nodded:

"That's right, it's Izumi Mamoru Kanesada! Although he is only the eleventh generation Izumi Mamoru Kanesada, he can cut iron as well as clay!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the Izumi Kamisada with both hands, then turned around and handed it to Hijikata Toshizo.

"Hijikata-kun, from now on, this Izumi Shou Kanesada is yours!"

The other party was startled:

"Tangerine, what are you doing?"

"Huh? There are 8 katana, 1 naginata, 1 spear, and 1 wakizashi here - isn't it obvious what I want?"

As soon as these words came out, the suspicion of "No way?" that had been lingering in everyone's minds finally turned into certainty.

"Mr. Orange, what are you..."

Sanosuke Harada swallowed hard.

"Are you going to give us these weapons?"

Qingden nodded.

"Today, you are no longer unknown people who no one pays attention to, but important cadres of the Shinsengumi."

"In this case, you naturally need sophisticated weapons that are worthy of your new status and can also be used in the fierce battles that will follow!"

"Just think of these weapons as my promotion gifts to you."

After listening to Qingdeng's words, everyone's eyes returned to the weapons in front of them.

There is no need for professional appreciation anymore... just by looking at the exquisite swords and gorgeous decorations, you can easily tell: these weapons are by no means cheap and popular!

The general manager murmured:

"They don't look cheap... Mr. Ju, you must have spent a lot of money to buy these weapons, right?"

Qingden Wan'er:

"As for money, you don't have to worry about it. I have channels to buy knives."

"Rintaro once worked for the Military Academy, and he is also Mr. Otani's nephew, so he has connections in this area and knows many swordsmiths and dealers."

“Through his relationship, I was able to purchase knives at a lower price than the market price.”

"With my current financial resources, it is more than enough to purchase these weapons."

With the blessing of the talents "Emperor's Art" and "Trickster +1", no one could find any clues in Qingdeng's expression or words.

In fact, what Qing Deng said was half truth and half false.

Thanks to Rintaro Katsu's help, the money he spent on purchasing weapons was indeed lower than the market price.

But if it is more than enough... then it is not.

In order to buy all these weapons, Qingdeng spent a total of 3,000 taels of private money, leaving not a cent left.

How much money is this?

Let's put it this way - generally speaking, as long as you spend 2 taels of gold, you can spend the night with Yoshiwara's highest-level wandering girl, that is, with the oiran.

3,000 taels of gold...enough for you to sleep the oiran until you feel like vomiting just from the smell of you.

From the Tongxin who returned to the town of Beifan, to the captain of the third division of the Huofu Thieves, a side officer and the servant of the imperial court, and now the governor of Gyeonggi Town... Along the way, Qingteng has never accepted the favor of others. bribe.

All the official positions he had held were the kind of "extra income" that as long as he was willing and raised his finger, he could easily receive ten times or even dozens of times the original salary.

However, Qingdeng's simple sense of justice did not allow him to do evil.

All his money is his legitimate income.

No matter how developed the commodity economy was in the Edo period, there was nothing to spend a lot of money on.

The only place where you can spend a lot of money... I'm afraid the only one is Yoshiwara - does Aomori dare to go to Yoshiwara?

If Qingden dares to go to Yoshiwara, he will be doomed!

His ambition to "sleep with the big man" is still like a castle made of sand, which will collapse if he fails to do so.

Except for the director, the other two are still the same, unable to accept the strange family of "one husband and three wives".

Under such circumstances, if Aoden dares to go to Yoshiwara...

Souji, who has a gentle personality, and Mai Kinoshita, who has a soft ear, may have a chance to save their lives if they can be persuaded.

But Sanako, who has a strong personality, will definitely break off the relationship with Aonto on the spot! I will never have any contact with Qingdeng again for the rest of my life!

Sanako definitely has such courage and decisiveness.

In order not to lose Sanako, Qingto would obediently walk around Yoshihara's high walls whenever he saw them.

However, he did keep in touch with Gu Shengxiu, an old lady he met when he was tracing Huandu Lake. The two of them often exchanged letters.

He never goes to gold-selling caves represented by Yoshihara, nor does he buy luxury goods.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation don't cost much money - especially "accommodation". Qingdeng has been living in the imperial examination hall without even paying rent.

With a family fortune and salary of several thousand dan, a huge reward for severely injuring the barbarian group and pacifying the Qingshui clan, and a simple life, Qingdeng accumulated wealth in these three years that was worth nothing to a wealthy businessman. However, for ordinary people, the wealth is quite considerable, about 3,500 taels of gold.

After purchasing weapons for the General Secretary and others, Qingdeng's savings were directly reduced by more than half. Such a large loss cannot be called "more than enough."

However, the money was not wasted.

The weapons he bought are all good guns and swords that are worth the money!

At this time, Toudo Heisuke, the youngest and the one who respected Aoden the most, shivered and whispered:

"Mr. Orange, how dare we accept such an expensive gift...?"

When Qingdeng heard this, he couldn't help but put on an angry tone and said quickly, pretending to be annoyed:

"We have already bought everything. If you don't accept it, will it be stored in a warehouse and eat dust?"

Everyone looked at each other, you looked at me, I looked at you.

If it's a bargain that's not worth mentioning, then that's it.

But this kind of valuable item with an average price of hundreds of taels of gold finally made everyone hesitate.

Just when the scene was at a stalemate...that girl was indeed Qingdeng's "little cotton-padded jacket", and she was always so worry-free.

There was only a "pop" sound - the Souji clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention:

"Mr. Tachibana is right! These weapons were specially prepared by him for us."

"Who are we?"

"We are Tachibana-kun's best friends and brothers, right?"

"Since we are partners who treat each other sincerely, there is no need to be so humble. It will make you look unfamiliar!"

"It would be rude of us if we don't accept Mr. Tachibana's kindness with peace of mind."

As soon as the director finished speaking, everyone looked at each other again - this time, they were no longer at a loss.

"..."

Hijikata Toshizo pursed his lips and remained silent.

After a moment, he stretched out his hands and took the Izumi Mamoru Kanesada from Aomori.

Looking at the tea scabbard in his palm, his eyes flashed brightly.

It was obvious that he liked this knife very much.

"...Tachibana, thank you."

After saying that, Hijikata Tosei bent down and bowed solemnly to Aoden.

"You're welcome."

Qingdeng returned the favor with a smile.

With Hijikata Toshizo taking the lead, the others completely let go of their reserve.

"Okay, everyone line up! I'm going to distribute the weapons to your hands one by one!"

Among everyone, only Harada Sanosuke, Sanako and Kinoshita Mai are good at using special weapons.

One of them is a spear wielder, another is a naginata wielder, and the third is a fist dancer.

Therefore, the spear, the naginata, and the wakizashi in the cloth bag were tailor-made for the three of them.

The spear is named "Narukan".

It is a sickle gun with sickle blades on both sides of the gun head. One side is long and the other is short. The total length is 2.3 meters.

The so-called "naraku" is transliterated from the Sanskrit "naraka" in the Buddhist scriptures. The Buddhist scriptures describe the endless hell that can never be liberated.

Pierce Naraku - just by hearing the name, you can feel how extraordinary this spear is.

The name of the naginata is "Moon in the Pond".

It's a beautiful name, and its shape is worthy of such a beautiful name.

2.2 meters in length, light blue handle.

To prevent slipping, the handle is painted light white.

The slender blade, like a willow leaf and shining with cold light, silently declared to the outside world: It is not a flashy thing!

The name of the wakizashi is "Echizen Yasutsugi".

Mai Kinoshita does not know swordsmanship. She is a female ninja who specializes in body skills and unarmed combat.

Therefore, instead of giving her a knife, it is better to give her a wakizashi that is small in size, can be used for self-defense, and does not affect her movement after being worn on the body.

As for the remaining 8 swords, they were delivered to the swordsmen headed by Souji.

Although they come from different factions, they are all excellent knives.

Kondo Isamu - Noshu Sekikane.

Hijikata Toshisan - Izumi Mori Kanesada.

Shannan Jingzhu——Zhen Jiazhen, who lives in Yunzhou.

Nagakura Shinpachi - Banshu resident Shige Yamashita.

Saito Ichi——Kishumaru Kunishige lived in Ikeda.

Genzaburo Inoue——Kanejo lives in Shirakawa, Oshu.

Toudo Heisuke——Kami Sosuke and Soshige.

The person standing at the end of the queue is the General Secretary.

Qingden held up the last knife in the cloth bag with both hands.

This is a very beautiful looking knife.

The blade is two feet four inches long (approximately 72cm). The handle, tandem and scabbard are all as white as moonlight. The scabbard has patterns of peony, arabesque and phoenix.

"This is a famous sword forged by the Sixth Generation Kaga Kiyomitsu. Souji, you must treat this sword well."

The Souji opened his eyes wide, his eyes sparkling, and he murmured involuntarily:

"Kaga Kiyomitsu..."

Except for Sanako's "Ikezakazuki" and Harada Sanosuke's "Narukan" which are original works by the author, the weapons of the others in this chapter are all historical facts.

In history, there was a swordsmith named "Genryusai Shunaga" who specialized in repairing swords for the Shinsengumi. The sword repair notes he left behind detailedly recorded the swords of each member of the Shinsengumi. According to records, every time the Shinsengumi fought a tough battle, their swords had to be overhauled.
