I formed the strongest swordsman group

quiet……

For a moment, the whole place was silent.

Whether it was Takeshi Hanheita on the main seat or the Qinwang Party members on the left and right sides, their faces all changed color.

Did I hear that right? They looked like this.

You are right - they looked at Qingden like this.

In this world where the drop of a needle can be heard, the person who produced the first sentence was a thin man with a poor face:

"Nioh-sama, you...you are not kidding us, are you?"

"Since I can say this, I naturally have the determination and ability to fulfill my promise."

Qingdeng's calm voice contained a calm and firm tone, making people unable to help but want to believe every word he said.

For a time, the scene was filled with excitement and excitement.

The sound of "hissing" and the rapid "whooshing" breathing were heard together.

Perhaps the reaction of his subordinates was too much like that of Grandma Liu who walked into the Grand View Garden. Wu Shi Banping squinted his eyes and looked at his subordinates helplessly and dissatisfied.

Of course, he was helpless and dissatisfied. Takeshi Hanheita was not angry because his subordinates looked embarrassing.

After all, he could understand their current mood.

To put it bluntly... most of the members of Tosa Kin's party are country bumpkins who have never seen much of the world.

The low social class not only limits their ability to receive education, but also limits their horizons.

Although Wushi Hanpingtai, who "one man has attained the Tao", has made all the "chickens and dogs" of the Qinwang Party come to life, things like knowledge and experience cannot be made up in a short period of time.

In the eyes of these Baizha villagers and villagers who are used to living a hard life, one tael of gold is considered a huge amount of money.

100,000 taels of gold...this...this...

Not to mention a small organization of several hundred people like the Tosa Kinou Party.

Even for large feudal lords like Satsuma and Choshu, 100,000 taels of gold is a huge amount of money that cannot be ignored!

Such a large amount of money is enough to create an elite force of thousands of people armed to the teeth!

Therefore, even Wu Shi Hanping Tai, who has seen the world, can't help but be shocked by these numbers.

After a brief period of daze and astonishment, Wu Shi Hanping Tai's expression returned to calmness.

He pursed his lips and stared at the paper in his hand, thinking deeply.

After about half a minute, he casually put the note to his knees.

"Lord Nioh, your idea is too good, isn't it?"

He twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing an arc of unclear emotion.

“With no deposit, mortgage, or reliable guarantor, you just want to get away with nothing with just a piece of flimsy paper?”

"If after three years, you fail to fulfill your promise, not only do you fail to deliver the 100,000 taels to me on time and in the right amount, but you are also unwilling to acknowledge this note, what should I do then?"

"You are the dignified envoy of Gyeonggi Town."

"And I'm a country boy worth nothing."

"If you default on your debt, I won't be able to fight back."

When saying these words, Takeshi Hanpingta specially put on a joking tone.

However, although his tone was joking, his eyes were serious.

In the blink of an eye, a series of deep gazes fell on Qingdeng from the left and right sides.

The heavy weight of "100,000 taels of gold" put their brains into "downtime" mode. It was not until they heard Wu Shi Hanping Tai's words that the Qin Wang Party members here realized their sobriety.

yes! With no mortgage, no deposit, and no trustworthy guarantor, just relying on a piece of paper and the touch of two lips, do you want to prostitute us for free?

Debt collection has been a troublesome matter since ancient times.

Based on Qingteng's status, if nothing unexpected happens, if he wants to default on his debt, Takeshi Hanheita and others will really have no way to deal with it.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qingdeng's expression remained the same, neither panic nor chaos.

As soon as Wushi Hanpingta finished speaking, he smiled reservedly:

"Mr. Wu Shi, what you said is true."

"To be honest, my money is very tight right now and I can't come up with a sizable deposit or collateral at all."

"As for a guarantor that both you and I can trust, I can't even find one."

"but--"

Following his sudden change of topic, everyone in the audience, including Takeichi Hanheita, unconsciously straightened their backs, cheered up, and listened attentively.

After deliberately pausing for a few breaths, Qingdeng put on a sonorous and powerful tone and loudly said:

"I will use my honor as a guarantee! I will definitely deliver 100,000 taels of gold to the Tosa King Party within 3 years!"

"I will never break my promise! I swear by striking gold!"

After saying that, Qingden picked up Vairocana on the right side of his body, grabbed the sheath with his left hand, held the knife in his right hand, and held the knife across his chest.

With a click, he pulled out the blade, and then put it back into the sheath.

The clang of the sword and sheath hitting each other resounded inside and outside the hall and lingered for a long time.

Everyone in the audience looked at Qingdeng blankly.

For a moment, questions came to Qingdeng:

"Honour?"

"What are you doing! I've been working for a long time and you're just talking nonsense!"

"Lord Niou, please forgive me! 'Honour' is not a convincing guarantee!"

Everyone's doubts continued... Abruptly, Qingdeng took back the initiative with a loud shout:

"Other people's honors are naturally not worth mentioning! However, I am the benevolent king."

Speaking of this, Qingden paused and then repeated it in a solemn tone:

"I am 'Nioh' Tachibana Aoden."

"The honor of the 'Benevolent King' who helps those in need and mends the cracks in the sky with one hand can always be convincing, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was silent.

Even those who hate Qingdeng and hate Qingdeng have to admit: Qingdeng has a very good reputation and a very upright personal resume with almost no stains.

Since becoming an official, he has been fighting against all evil forces and doing practical things for ordinary people.

His "honor" indeed has a very high gold content.

Although it is a time of troubled times when order has collapsed, the word "honor" still occupies a very important weight in the spiritual world of warriors.

Qingdeng pledged his "honor" as a guarantee... This was already a serious statement.

Therefore, after Qingdeng made his impassioned speech, no one raised any questions.

After looking at each other for a while, they all turned to look at their leader.

"..."

There was a tense atmosphere instantly.

The person who created this atmosphere was naturally Takeichi Hanheita, who had been silent for a long time.

He frowned, his face neither sad nor happy, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking from his expression.

"...Nioh-sama, it seems that you really appreciate Yataro Iwasaki."

"In ancient times, King Zhao of Yan bought horse bones for a thousand gold, but now Ju Qingdeng spends a hundred thousand gold."

"Now I'm a little curious about Yataro Iwasaki."

"What kind of person is it that makes you do this?"

Qingdeng spread his hands:

"Well...it's hard for me to explain it to you in a few words. In short-Iwasaki Yataro is indeed worthy of me doing this for him."

"..."

Takeshi Hanpingtai fell silent again.

As the silence continued to accumulate... Finally, about 15 seconds later, Takeichi Hanpingta sighed softly.

"……All right."

"Since you have staked your honor, under such circumstances, if I continue to mother-in-law, it will appear that I am immoral."

Saying that, Wu Shi Banping straightened his back and said seriously:

"Lord Niou, I will help you as quickly as possible! Please wait for the good news!"

There was a faint commotion in the audience.

Someone is calm.

Some people are confused.

Some people are angry.

Although their expressions were all kinds of strange, Qingdeng no longer cared about them.

After smiling slightly, Qingdeng bowed lightly to Wu Shi Banping in front of him:

"That's it, you'll have a lot of work!"

…

…

Click, click, click, click...

After hearing the "click, click, click" sound of the door opening next to him, Iwasaki Yataro hurriedly turned his head to look.

Whenever someone comes out of it, Iwasaki Yataro will look up as quickly as possible to confirm whether the person who comes out is Aoto.

Although every time he looked up so far, he would be disappointed, but he still enjoyed it.

Fortunately, he was not disappointed this time.

"Lord Niou!"

Iwasaki Yataro took three steps at a time and faced Aoto with eagerness.

Before the other party could speak, Qingdeng showed a calm smile:

"It's all done, let's wait for the news slowly."

Yataro Iwasaki was stunned for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, surprise, joy, gratitude... complex emotions emerged in his cheeks.

"Lord Nioh, you..."

As soon as he started speaking, Qingdeng made a "quiet" gesture and took over the conversation:

"This is not a good place to talk."

Aomori raised his hand and pointed at the Tosa Domain gate behind him.

"Let's go back to the station first. Let's talk while walking."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked away.

Yataro Iwasaki hurriedly followed.

…

…

In no time—

Kyoto, a certain street——

"What?!"

Iwasaki Yataro's eyes widened and he cried out.

Many people on the surrounding streets were attracted by his voice and turned their heads one by one to look at him and Qingden.

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Yataro Iwasaki immediately tightened his lips and did not dare to say any more.

It wasn't until those who looked in their direction realized that there was nothing to enjoy and looked away that he quickly said to Qingden with an anxious look on his face:

"Lord Nioh, you, you, you really promised a reward of 100,000 taels of gold?"

Qingdeng nodded lightly.

Iwasaki Yataro gasped:

"This, this, this, this... Nioh-sama, how can you spend money like this!"

"100,000 taels of gold! Even if we have the treasure of 'Silver Mirror', this is not a number that can be collected casually!"

"Even if you have to pay a reward, you won't agree to such a large amount!"

Iwasaki Yataro looked anxious as if he hated iron.

Qingden smiled and watched his reaction with interest.

"Iwasaki-kun, calm down."

"I'm not a stupid person with a lot of money, so I won't spend money randomly."

"Anyway, you don't have to give money right away. In order to increase the success rate of negotiations, naturally you should promise as much as you want."

"If it weren't for the fact that shouting 'one hundred thousand' is easier to say, I would even want to shout 'one million' directly."

Iwasaki Yataro's mood did not return to calm just because Aonto said lightly, "Calm down."

"But... didn't you make an agreement with Takeshi Hanpingtai? In three years at the latest, you will deliver the hundred thousand taels of gold to him. In the end, this money still has to be given to others."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qing Deng revealed a blatant sneer:

"Three years... Humph! After three years, it will still be a question whether the Tosa Kinou Party still exists."

After hearing this, Yataro Iwasaki was stunned for a moment.

Then, as if he realized something terrible, his face turned pale and his words were knotted:

"Could it be that... Nioh-sama, you, you plan to directly destroy the Tosa Kinou Party in order to repay the debt?"

"certainly not."

Qingden scolded angrily.

"I would never do such a heartless thing."

He thought about his words for a while, then continued:

"After entering the Tosa Domain's mansion, I witnessed with my own eyes the spiritual outlook of the Tosa Kinnobu Party members."

"In a nutshell - they have nothing to fear."

“Although they kept saying ‘rejecting the barbarians’, and each and every one of them put on an enthusiastic appearance of being ‘incompatible with the barbarians and the barbarians,’ their actions and words unintentionally exposed their true thoughts.”

"Their highest ideal is not at all 'ruling the country and bringing peace to the world', but 'competing in front of the sergeant' and 'earning military merit and becoming a new sergeant'."

"In other words, the essence of the Tosa Kinou Party is just a vulgar interest group."

"For an organization like this, its upper limit is just that."

"What's more, there is no way out by resisting the foreigners."

"Don't want to jump out of the well, don't want to open your eyes to see the world... If you always hold on to such a closed mind, you will be destroyed sooner or later."

"In fact, my statement of 'three years' is an understatement."

Having said this, Qingden stopped, turned his upper body, and looked in the direction of the Tosa Domain's residence.

"The current situation is so complicated."

"No one knows how the situation will change in the future."

"Maybe they won't even last half a year."

"The promise I made is that 'I will deliver 100,000 taels of gold to the Tosa Kinou Party within three years without fail.'"

"If Tosa Kin's party is gone, then of course I won't have to pay. Right?"

After finishing speaking, Qingto looked away and looked at Yataro Iwasaki.

There was a warm smile on his face.

…

…

At this moment——

Kyoto, Tosa Domain Residence, Takeichi Hanheita's room——

Takeshi Hanheita stood by the window thoughtfully with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance.

call……

Suddenly, a cold wind blew from behind him.

The next moment, as if he sensed something, his pupils shrank suddenly, he quickly turned around and reached out to touch the knife:

"Who?! Come out!"

His eyes were fixed on the shadow in the corner of the room.

"...Chin, you've become slow."

The shadow "squirmed" gently - a tall young warrior with disheveled hair and clothes embroidered with platycodon patterns stepped out of the shadow with a smile on his face and walked towards Takeshi Hanheita.

After hearing the name "Chin", Takeshi Banheita was startled at first, and then said happily with a face full of joy:

"Little mole! Are you back?"

"Little Mole" touched the few black moles on his face with an embarrassed expression.

"I said, can you please stop calling me 'little mole'? This title is so embarrassing."

Takeichi Hanheita immediately retorted angrily:

"You still have the nerve to talk about me? Don't you always call me 'chin'?"

"Little Mole" chuckled.

"Your chin is too sharp and conspicuous."

Wu Shi Banping smiled helplessly:

"Forget it, this kind of thing is fine no matter what. We two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a few drinks together!"

"Okay, I've been waiting for this sentence from you!"

"While you're drinking, tell me what you went through after you left the Tosa Kin-King Party, Sakamoto Ryoma!"

Asking for a monthly ticket! Please vote for recommendation! (Leopard head crying.jpg)

I recommend everyone a Japanese drama: "Samurai Teacher". It tells the story of Hanheita Takeichi who passed away and traveled to modern Japan to work as a teacher in a rural village. The person who traveled with him was Ryoma Sakamoto.

Although the story of this drama is not very interesting, it is not fun where it should be, it is not funny where it should be funny, and the acting of the male protagonist is also very weak, but people who have free time can still go and watch it.
