I formed the strongest swordsman group

Recalling the memory fragments drawn by Kiryu's question just now, Qingdeng couldn't help asking himself the question that he had silently recited several times in the past few days:

This is me... I have awakened the hidden character of "Battle Madness"?

During the period after the end of the war, every time Qingdeng recalled the whole story of his battle with Suehiro, he couldn't help but feel astonished.

When did I become such a character...? ?

When exercising all kinds of fighting skills with others before, I have never experienced this feeling of getting more and more excited, and the whole person seems to be floating in the clouds.

Could it be because the previous fights were too "low-end", not the kind of death fights where you don't tense up, so they can't arouse my emotions?

That way... it seems a bit like a pervert...

For the first time in his life, Qingdeng wondered if there were any hidden perverted elements in his character...

When Qingdeng's mood was drifting to nowhere, Kiryu's question suddenly brought Qingdeng's mood back to reality.

"... Mr. Ju, are you interested in the sword drawing technique?"

"Ah?" Qingdeng turned his head to look at Tongsheng who was helping him to wrap the sackcloth, "What's wrong? Why are you asking me this all of a sudden?"

"It's nothing." Kiryu smiled, "When I went to change the medicine for other people just now, I overheard them discussing topics related to sword drawing, so I just asked you casually."

"Oh, that's it." After listening to Kiryu's extremely reasonable explanation, Qingdeng didn't pay much attention to why Tongyu asked him this question.

"Sword drawing... I'm quite interested."

"I have always liked the kind of tricks that can knock down the enemy with one move."

"And the technique of drawing a knife happens to be this kind of skill that pursues 'kill with one blow'."

"If you can master the knife drawing technique, then the optional attack methods will be enriched in one go."

"If there is a chance, I would really like to learn the sword drawing technique."

"However, the natural flow of mind that I am studying now does not teach the skill of drawing swords."

At this time, Qingdeng changed into a half-joking tone.

"So right now, I probably don't have the chance to touch any sword drawing technique."

"Tachibana-kun, you like the kind of trick that can knock down the enemy with one move..." Kiryu said with a smile, "What a coincidence, I also like that kind of trick."

"I used to... when I was learning swords with my father, I loved to practice the 'one-hit-kill' move."

"Huh? Boss Kiryu, do you know swordsmanship?"

"Yeah." Kiryu twitched his lips, "I learned swordsmanship in Edo before, so I know a little bit of swordsmanship for now."

"Boss Kiryu, you have so many talents... Then, which school did you learn, Boss Kiryu?"

"...Feiyan is heartbroken."

——Feiyan is heartbroken?

Qingdeng, who had never heard of this school name before, had no time to show a confused expression, and Boss Kiryu said quickly:

"Mr. Ju, you probably haven't heard of this genre, because it's an extremely unpopular genre with few people studying it, and few people know about it."

Qingdeng nodded: "Is Feiyan remorseful...the name is quite imposing."

"The older you get, the more you will feel that time passes quickly." On Kiryu's cheeks, there was a bit of loneliness at this moment, "In a blink of an eye... penance for this 'Feiyan Remnant Heart Flow' It was all seventy or eighty years ago."

"Seven or eighty years ago... Speaking of which, Boss Kiryu, I still don't seem to know your age."

"I'm 92 years old this year."

"92 years old..." Qingdeng was speechless, "Boss Kiryu, I feel that some middle-aged people in their 30s and 40s should not be as good as you in terms of mental outlook."

"Hahahaha, thank you for the compliment. Alright, the sackcloth has been tied, you can put on your clothes now."

"Mr. Orange! Mr. Orange! Are you there?!"

At this time, a very loud voice came from outside the room.

"Mr. Xiaoshi?" Qing Deng raised his eyebrows towards the door, "I'm here, please come in."

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, the sliding door of the room was unceremoniously opened, and Xiaoshi's white and fat body appeared in front of Qingdeng's eyes.

"Mr. Kiryu, you are here too." Seeing that Kiryu was also behind him, Komuro quickly bowed to Kiryu as well.

"Mr. Xiaoshi, what's your business for a sudden visit?" Qing Deng asked.

Xiaoshi laughed heartily a few times: "Hahaha, it's nothing! It's just that I just finished visiting Mr. Angoulême and I'm bored, so I just thought about visiting Mr. Ju."

After finishing speaking, Xiaoshi casually walked across to Qingdeng, and sat down cross-legged.

Qingdeng, who helped them repel the incoming "soldiers against barbarians" and had a life-long friendship with them, was their comrade-in-arms and benefactor.

Therefore, in the past few days, Xiaoshi and others treated Qingdeng with the desire to burn incense and worship.

The address for Qingdeng has also changed from the original "Juan" and "Jiang Jun" to "Mr. Orange", and when talking to Qingdeng, they always use the highest level of honorifics.

However, thanks to Xiaoshi and others' respect for Qingdeng, the relationship between Qingdeng and Xiaoshi has also become much closer.

Xiaoshi and others came to Qingdeng to "drop in", which became one of the most common sights these days.

Qingdeng sat back to make room for the room in front of him sitting cross-legged, and asked:

"Mr. Komuro, have you just visited Mr. Angoulême?"

"Oh, yes."

"How is Mr. Angoulême now? Is his mental state better?"

"How should I put it..." Xiaoshi scratched his shiny scalp because of the Yuedai hair, "It's a little bit better, but it should still take a while to heal."

"It was supposed to be a very safe trip, but this kind of thing happened..." Qingdeng said softly, "Mr. Angoulême and Miss Angoulême are also unlucky."

"Yes." The head of the office sighed, "I feel sorry for Mr. Angoulême."

"Mr. Angoulême and the others are the best-tempered among all the barbarians I know."

"Since I came to Japan, I have been doing business in an orderly manner, and I have never done anything hateful."

"In the end, I was almost killed by a group of thugs from the 'Dispossessing Barbarians'..."

Although I haven't counted them in detail, there were at least 60 enemies who were beheaded by Qingdeng and the others in that "Snowy Night Chaos".

Counting the number of people killed in battle, there were more than seventy corpses and a pile of broken limbs scattered in that small square inch of land...

Even if there were more than 70 corpses of cats and dogs lying there, the scene was terrifying, let alone more than 70 human corpses lying there...

Before the battle was over, he would not feel uncomfortable facing such a bloody scene due to his mental tension.

After the battle was over, looking at the scene of corpses strewn all over the field, all kinds of discomfort immediately burst out...

Anthony and Elodie felt the greatest discomfort as grandparents.

After all, the former is just a businessman who makes a living and has never seen blood, while the latter is a 12-year-old girl.

In the past few days, the grandpa and grandson basically stayed in the room all the time, with gloomy expressions every day.

Elodie, who is very cheerful, has hardly seen her smile these days.

In order to comfort Elodie, Kinoshita Mai has been with the child, eating and living with the child.

Qingdeng guessed that Kinoshita Mai must be in Ai Luodi's room now, and she was still working hard to get Ai Luodi to cheer up as soon as possible.

After chatting about Anthony and the others' current situation, Qingdeng began chatting with Komuro, who seemed to be very idle now, with Kiryu.

After chatting for a while, Komuro asked Qingdeng how he was recovering from his injury.

After getting Qingdeng's reply that "he is recovering well from the injury and is in great condition", Xiaoshi's eyes lit up:

"So——Mr. Tachibana, since you are in good condition now, do you recall anything about how you led us to victory that night?"

——Ah, here we go again...ask me this again...

After sighing silently in his heart, Qingdeng smiled helplessly:

"Komuro-kun, it's useless how many times you ask me."

"That night, I was really just leading you based on 'feeling', and thinking of strategies based on 'feeling'."

"You asked me to explain the process in detail, but I really can't tell."

Xiaoshi has always been very curious: How did Qingdeng know in the battle 6 days ago that he could block the attack of the "Big Barbarians" with such a defensive arrangement?

In order to clear up the confusion, Xiaoshi came to ask Qingdeng repeatedly almost every day recently, "How did you do it?"

And no matter how many times Xiaoshi asked, the answer Qingdeng gave was the same: by feeling.

Qingdeng really didn't lie or fool Xiaoshi.

That night, he really did deploy and command based on his feeling...

Suddenly I have a wide field of vision that I haven't figured out until now, suddenly I see the strange "air flow", and suddenly I can feel the strength of everyone on the battlefield...

After suddenly possessing these strange abilities, one strategy after another kept popping out of Qingdeng's mind.

Seeing that the enemy's organization and order are very chaotic, and they all rely on momentum to fight, I suddenly thought of "stabilize the front line, consume the enemy's momentum and hit the 'main line' directly, kill Yamada, and defeat the enemy in one breath. Fighting spirit" tactics.

From the beginning to the end, he relied on "feeling" to win that battle... You asked Qingdeng to use specific words to explain how he micromanaged that night, he really couldn't tell...

Seeing that Qingdeng replied "by feeling", Xiaoshi showed a bit of unwillingness on his face.

Just when he wanted to ask some more questions——

"Orange."

Saito's voice sounded at the same time as a slightly rough knock on the door.

"Ah, Saito, you're back." Qingdeng turned his head to look at Saito who came back from the toilet.

At this time, Saito, who was also wrapped in a lot of linen, glanced at Kiryu and Komuro in the room, and said to Qingdeng seriously:

"Tachibana, the Edo Magistrate's brigade is here to meet us."

Qing Deng was startled, then stood up quickly: "It's finally here..."

...

...

Qing Deng quickly changed his clothes, put on his seal cage of the execution house, and then ran to the first floor of the dormitory.

As soon as he left the dormitory, Qingdeng saw a large group of people parked outside the gate of the dormitory, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.

In terms of the manpower that Pursuit can mobilize... this is really a large team worthy of the name.

Carriage, 6.

Knights on horseback, 4.

Ashgaru who can only walk, 40.

Counting some handymen... the entire team was approaching a hundred people.

Looking at the large team in front of him whose scale was far beyond his imagination, Qingdeng couldn't help showing surprise.

And just at this moment, a male voice that was extremely familiar to Qingdeng sounded from Qingdeng's side:

"Mr. Tangerine!"

"Master Arima?"

According to the reputation - Arima, whom I haven't seen for more than ten days, is riding a chestnut horse and quickly approaching Qingdeng. The "gun holder" who is in charge of holding the long gun for the horse, and the "carrier" who is in charge of helping the horse carry the luggage Hold" and others, hurriedly followed.

Even when riding on a horse, Arima's back is still at a perfect 90-degree angle to the ground.

Seeing the acquaintance's arrival, Qing Deng felt a sense of intimacy in his heart, and hurried to meet him.

"Master Arima, so this team is led by you?"

"That's right. After receiving the order from Mr. Xingxing, I immediately set up troops non-stop and came to meet you."

After saying that, Arima dismounted and stood in front of Qingdeng.

"Tachibana-kun..." Arima looked Aoto up and down several times with an expression mixed with relief and joy, and asked anxiously, "Are you not hurt?"

"If I get seriously injured, I won't be able to stand in front of you and talk to you like I am now." Qingdeng joked.

Arima chuckled softly a few times, then raised his hand, and patted Qingdeng's shoulder with moderate strength: "It's good that I didn't suffer any serious injuries, it's good that I didn't suffer any serious injuries..."

Thousands of words have been poured out with this light pat on the shoulder.

...

...

Edo, a certain spacious mansion, a certain room——

It was a very modestly furnished room.

There is hardly any furniture, and there is only a huge screen for decoration in the empty room.

There is an extremely hideous picture painted on the screen: A Picture of Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night.

In the picture, there are vicious ghosts with hideous faces, showing their teeth and claws.

With a faint smile on his face, Raksha sat down in front of the screen.

A sword with a red sheath and a red handle lay quietly by Luo Sha's left hand.

A middle-aged man with a huge burn mark on his left cheek was sitting right behind Rakshasa.

If there is someone here who knows enough about the "underground world" of Edo, he will be surprised to see this middle-aged man.

This person is the leader of the most powerful Yakuza group in Edo: "Shimizu Clan" whom Qingdeng owed money to: Shimizu Eiichi.

In the "underground world" of Edo, Shimizu Rongyi, who definitely has the energy to call the wind and rain, is like a "parent's good baby" at this moment, sitting respectfully behind Luo Sha, who is only in his early 20s...

Wow...

At this time, a sliding door on the east side of the tea room was suddenly opened.

"Oh...Kano-kun." Luo Sha Xun turned his head and showed a bright smile towards the opened door, "You came very quickly. Come, sit down."

Rakshasa pointed in front of him.

Standing outside the opened sliding door was Kanno with a very livid face.

After Kanno glanced at Raksha who was sitting at the main seat in the tea room, and Shimizu Ei who was sitting behind Raksha, he quickly walked along the opened sliding door, entered the tea room, and walked to the second room. in front of people.

"Lord Rakshasa, Lord Shimizu."

Kanno did not sit down immediately, but first bowed respectfully to the two at 90 degrees, and then sat down with his knees bent at the place Rakshasa just pointed out.

"Master Rakshasa." Kanno asked Rakshasa softly with his full-ranked honorific, "I don't know why you called me here?"

"It's nothing." Luo Sha stretched out the little finger of his right hand, and plucked his right ear, "I just want to see how you are now."

"I've heard about it—the action of your beggar group to get the heads of Anthony and Alodi's grandfather and grandson failed."

"Not only was no one killed, but also the lives of more than 60 people including Suehiro and Yamada."

As soon as Luo Sha's words fell, Shen Ye's originally very ugly face became a little more gloomy, and the hands that were originally resting on his legs were subconsciously clenched.

"...Master Luosha, I really have no face to see you."

Kano closed his eyes.

"You disclosed to me the whereabouts of Anthony's gang of national thieves, and sold us a batch of matchlock guns."

"As a result, our group of barbarians turned what was supposed to be a surefire move into a complete defeat..."

"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with me." Luo Sha smiled boldly, "It doesn't matter if you lose, we have lost countless battles in the past 70 years since the founding of the French Party. "

"On several occasions, our entire organization almost disappeared into the corner of history."

"Failure is not terrible. The most terrible thing is not knowing why you failed and not knowing what to do so that you will not repeat the same mistakes."

After all, Luo Sha changed to a more comfortable sitting position.

"Kano, have you found any clues about how your operation failed?"

"I have questioned those who escaped in detail." Shenye replied, "I have investigated everything clearly. The reason why our extermination group suffered such a disastrous defeat was all because of the appearance of one person."

"Alone?" Raksha raised his eyebrows slightly.

"A warrior named Juqingdeng."

"Juqingdeng...? The Juqingdeng from Edo Kitaban's designated town?"

"Master Raksha, do you know him?" Shenye looked at Raksha in front of him with a strange expression in surprise.

"...Let's just know this character." The weird expression on Luosha's face faded, and he returned to the expression with a faint smile, "Kano, tell me in detail, how is this Ju Qingdeng?" What caused you to fail in this operation?"

Kanno nodded his head vigorously a few times, and then explained to Rakshasa in an orderly manner what he had heard from the subordinates who had fled back from the "battle beginning and end".

Qingdeng has been on the "assassination list" of their anti-barbarian group for a long time, so many people in their anti-barbarian group recognize Qingdeng's face.

When Qingdeng stood up and began to lead Xiaoshi and others to launch a counterattack, many people recognized this person on the spot as the "national thief" who had been assassinated three times by the barbarian group but failed to kill him. ".

It was by relying on the confessions of the survivors who recognized Qingdeng that Kanno knew exactly what happened that night.

Kanno's narration was not too long, he only spent about half a quarter of an hour pouring out everything he knew to Rakshasa.

"Oh..." Rakshasa, who had been quietly listening to the audience, let out an inexplicable laugh after Kanno's narration, "So that's how... the guards who led that Anthony defeated you Yet……"

"...That Ju Qingdeng's command level and personal force are very good."

"First try to hold the line of defense and consume your momentum."

"When your momentum gradually weakened due to the long-term inability to attack the defense line, go on the field in person, launch a thunderous blow, directly attack the main formation, take off the head of that Yamada, and destroy your morale in one breath."

"When Suehiro came with reinforcements, he defeated Suehiro again, making you completely powerless."

"This battle of yours...you didn't lose unjustly."

Hearing Luo Sha's praise of Qingdeng who caused such a big loss to their beggar group, Shen Ye felt extremely uncomfortable.

But he didn't dare to attack, so he could only silently suppress this aggrieved feeling in his heart.

And at this time, Rakshasa, who sat up a little bit straighter, suddenly asked Kanno:

"Kano-kun, now that it has been determined who caused your Kobari group to suffer such a huge loss, what are you going to do with that Ju Qingdeng?"

"What's the point?!" Hearing this new question raised by Rakshasa, Shenye gritted his teeth without thinking, "Of course I can't just let it go like this!"

Because of the extreme indignation, Kanno unconsciously raised his voice a little bit.

"I'm going to let that damned national traitor die...uuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Kanno's roar suddenly stopped.

The words that had not yet been uttered turned into exclamations of astonishment.

He lowered his head mechanically and looked down his throat.

A little cold light stopped in front of his throat.

Raksha held a red-handled sword in his hand, and pointed the tip of the knife at Kanno's throat.

The point of the knife is only about half a finger away from Kanno's throat.

Rakshasa only needs to push the knife in his hand forward slightly, and he can take the life of Shen Ye.

"Kano-kun."

At this moment, there was no longer that faint smile on Rakshasa's face.

With his eyes half closed, he cast a cold gaze at Kanno with a blank expression on his face.

"Please don't yell."

"You know that too. I hate noise the most."

"It's annoying me if you make such a noise."

"Calm down."

Shen Ye, who was aggressive just now, suddenly became sluggish, his face was pale, and even his waist, which was originally straight, was bent a little.

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

Looking at Kanno who apologized to him, Rakshasa's expression changed back to the one that had always been smiling slightly.

"Be more careful in the future." Luosha grabbed the scabbard on his left side with his left hand, put the tip of the knife back into the sheath, and retracted the knife into the sheath, "Stop making noise in front of me."

After Luo Sha retracted his knife, Shen Ye suddenly realized that his back was already wet with his cold sweat...

When... did he draw his sword?

Shenye didn't see when Luosha pulled out the red-handled sword that had been placed on his left side at all.

He didn't even hear the sound of drawing the knife...

"I was worried at first, Kanno-kun, would you be devastated after suffering a big defeat?"

"Now it seems that I am worrying too much."

Luo Sha smiled and put the red-handled sword back to his left side.

"Since you are still full of energy, Kanno-kun, then you should work harder."

"I'm looking forward to it."

The smile on Rakshasa's face grew stronger, his eyes narrowed with a smile.

"I'm looking forward to how far you and your barbarian team can make your 'removing barbarians' go."

"If you encounter anything that needs help, you can feel free to ask us to punish the party."

"We'll be happy to help you with all the help we can."

Kano: "Yes..."

Just like Luo Sha said before: he summoned Shenye just to confirm the current state of Shenye after his sudden defeat.

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no reason for Shenye to stay here for a long time.

After chatting briefly with Kanno, Raksha waved his hand to signal that he could leave.

Kanno stood up respectfully and saluted Rakshasa and Shimizu Sakae, and then "escaped" from the room at a speed as if fleeing.

After Kanno left, Raksha turned his head and smiled at Shimizu Ei who was behind him: "Eiichi, Takayuki Tachibana's son... seems to have really become a 'Tiger'."

Hearing the name "Tachibana Takayuki", Shimizu Eiichi's face showed a bit of gloom: "Master Raksha, to be honest——I think it's incredible."

"That Ju Qingdeng's previous behaviors, no matter how you look at it, he is just an ordinary person."

"But recently, he seems to have changed suddenly. First, he solved the murder case in less than an hour."

"Now they have demonstrated extraordinary commanding ability and personal force, leading a small number of 2 to 30 people and defeating enemies that are several times their size."

"Hahahaha, I also find it incredible. But this kind of 'someone suddenly becomes very powerful' is not something impossible to happen."

"Three hundred years ago, the Oda Nobunaga who almost established the 'Oda Shogunate' was also known as 'Owari before he ascended to the position of family governor and showed his terrible military and diplomatic skills. the big fool' well."

After finishing speaking, Luo Sha grabbed the red-handled sword, put it on his waist, and slowly stood up.

"...Eiichi, I have a small task for you."

"Lord Rakshasa." Shimizu Rongyi quickly bent down, clenched his fists with both hands, and propped himself on the tatami mat, "Please speak."

"I'll give you 2 days to spread the story of 'How Tongxin Juqingdeng, Beifansuodingchohui, defeated more with less, and repelled more than 200 barbarian mobs', spread throughout the streets and alleys of Edo."

"Master Luosha?" Shimizu Rong was taken aback, "What are you going to do?"

"If I remember correctly, that Ju Qingdeng is only 18 years old this year. If he is already famous all over the world at a young age, it is easy to appear, whether it is himself or the outside world... For someone of his age Humans tend to be difficult troubles to deal with.”

"I want to test it. To test whether this Ju Qingdeng can remain calm after becoming famous overnight, or has he become delusional."

"Master Luosha, are you... intending to call Ju Qingdeng under your command?"

"There's no reason not to recruit such outstanding talents, right?" Luo Sha put on a joking tone, "Now, our Fazhu Party is very short of people... Ah, it should be said that we have always been short of people. people."

"If that Ju Qingdeng is really a talent worth looking forward to, then it is very necessary to try to recruit him."

"I asked you to spread the news... This kind of task shouldn't be difficult for you, Eiichi, right?"

The corner of Shimizu Eiichi's mouth curled up: "It's a piece of cake. Master Luosha, if you arrive at the night after tomorrow at the latest, you will find that no matter where you go in Edo, you can hear people discussing that Ju Qingdeng."

After finishing speaking, Shimizu Rong paused.

"By the way, Master Luosha, since you intend to recruit that Ju Qingdeng, do you want Shenye to stop harassing Ju Qingdeng?"

"Kano seems to intend to launch a severe retaliation against Tachibana Qingdeng."

"No need." Luo Sha said without hesitation, "If Ju Qingdeng can't even withstand the retaliation of someone at the level of Kanye-kun, it means that his strength and fortune are just like that, and it's not worth me to recruit him at all. gone."

"Don't worry about Kanno-kun, he can do whatever he wants with Tachibana Qingdeng."

"Okay." Shimizu Rong nodded, "I understand."

"Also, Eiichi. From tomorrow onwards, I will temporarily leave Edo and go to the Mito Domain to stay for a while. During the time I am not in Edo, I would like to ask you to help me manage the premises of our Fajue Party in Edo. The operation of each base has started."

"Going to the Mito clan?" Shimizu Rongyi frowned, "Why so suddenly?"

"The Mito clan seems to be making some big moves in the near future." Luo Sha grinned, "I have received definite information: a group of Mito clan vassals are about to sneak into Edo and try to assassinate Ii. Naobi."

Shimizu Eiichi's eyes widened suddenly.

Then subconsciously wanted to exclaim.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately covered his mouth as if thinking of something, to prevent himself from making too loud a cry.

After taking several deep breaths and calming down a little, Shimizu Eiichi asked softly with an unbelievable expression:

"Assassination of Ii Naosuke...? Are those Mito feudal vassals serious?"

"It seems to be serious." Luo Sha put his hands back on his back, "I was also quite surprised when I first learned of this information..."

"Mr. Orochi is also very concerned about this matter. He personally sent me a letter, asking me to go to Mito Domain in person to collect further relevant information."

"I don't know when I will be able to return to Edo."

"All in all—while I'm not in Edo, Edo will leave you alone."

Shimizu Eiichi nodded solemnly: "Please leave it to me."

After giving everything to Eiichi Shimizu, Raksha walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

Just as he was about to pass through the sliding door——

"Ah, that's right."

Raksha paused, and turned his gaze back to Shimizu Eiichi.

"Eiichi, before I go back to Edo, tell your people not to go to Ju Qingdeng to collect his father's gambling debts."

"After I return to Edo and find some time, I will restart your 'debt collection team'."

"At that time, I plan to go to Ju Qingdeng's house with your 'debt collection team'."

Rakshasa's two eyes smiled into two crescents at this moment.

"I want to see with my own eyes what the only son of Takayuki Tachibana, who has given us so much trouble, looks like."

Eiichi Shimizu: "Yes!"

...

...

Edo, somewhere——

After bidding farewell to Rakshasa and Eiichi Shimizu, the gloomy-faced Kanno went straight to the dilapidated house in a remote corner of Edo where few people pass by on weekdays.

As soon as he entered the house, several warriors immediately surrounded him.

"Suzuki, go prepare kerosene." After entering the room, without any greetings, Kanno immediately gave an order to the several samurai who surrounded him, "The more kerosene you prepare, the better."

"Fujita, go and arrange for people to monitor Tachibana's home."

"When Ju Qingdeng returns home, report to me immediately!"

After all, a fierce light burst out from Shenye's eyes.

"Mr. Kanno, what is this kerosene?" Suzuki, who was sent by Kanno to prepare kerosene, looked hesitant.

"...that Ju Qingdeng caused us to suffer a severe blow to the strength of the barbarian group." Shenye said lightly, "It's really unreasonable not to give him a gift in return."

...

...

2 days later——

January 30 -

After Arima led a large group of people to successfully meet Qingdeng and others, it took 2 days of hard work to finally return to Edo safely.

After arriving in Edo, Anthony, Elodi and the others were immediately picked up by the French embassy.

Xiaoshi and the others were temporarily arranged to live in a "temporary residence" by the execution office.

As for Qingdeng, under the personal escort of Arima, he returned to his home after more than ten days away...

"Young master, young master! Why are you hurt, hurt like this!"

Seeing that Qingdeng had finally returned home with a lot of sackcloth wrapped around his body, Jiu Bingwei was so startled that he was speechless.

Not long after Arima personally escorted Qingdeng back home, two "guests" came immediately.

The two "guests" who came to visit are Inoya and Ushiyama.

After learning that Qingdeng had returned safely, the two immediately rushed to Qingdeng's home. They came to visit Qingdeng who had just gone to investigate a theft case, but ended up getting involved in a chaotic battle for no reason.

Edo, Hatchobori, Qingdeng's house——

night--

"Hey, Tachibana! You didn't suffer any serious injuries, did you?" Inotani walked around Qingdeng nervously.

"Mr. Inoya, I'm fine." To show that there was nothing wrong with his body, Qing Deng raised his right hand and patted his left shoulder several times, "As you can see, my body is very good."

At this moment, in the hall, three people, Qingdeng, Arima, and Ushiyama, were sitting together, and Zhu Gu circled around Qingdeng.

Saito held his knife and sat in the corner of the living room, closing his eyes and meditating.

Kubei was making snacks and tea in the kitchen for the horse, pig, and cow.

Inogu walked around Qingdeng several times, and after confirming that Qingdeng's current mental outlook was indeed not bad, he finally showed a relieved expression, and then sat back to his original position.

"Tachibana, you are really... so bad luck..." Inoya was thinking about how to describe Qingdeng's experience, he hesitated for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence, "It's too bad luck..."

"It's just a simple business trip...how did this happen to me...ah..."
