I formed the strongest swordsman group.

Chapter 217 Qingdeng and Hijikata - the strategy of the "ghost hearts" [6200]

Saito Yakuro has developed a strong interest in Qingdeng since he witnessed Qingdeng's feat of "unleashing momentum within less than half a year of learning swordsmanship" at the Marquis of Aizu Swordsmanship Competition a few months ago.

Saito Yakuro didn't know until yesterday evening that the test guard hall and the Xuanwu hall will jointly hold the "Red and White Battle" today.

After learning that Qingdeng would also participate in this competition, Yakuro Saito decided to come to watch the competition without hesitation.

Because it was a temporary idea, Yakuro Saito only wanted to come alone.

However, the current representative of their military training center and his beloved apprentice: Gui, after learning about his itinerary today, said to him very enthusiastically: "Master! I have admired the name of 'King Ren' for a long time! I have always regretted not having the opportunity. Can you take me to watch the game too?"

Anyway, it would not be a problem to bring one more person by his side, Saito Yakuro nodded in agreement without thinking too much.

"The name 'Nioh' is really not for nothing..." Gui said softly, "A strong man like Chiba Tadomon Shiro has nothing to do with him."

"Hehehe. Although this test hall is small, it is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

Saito Yakuro tugged at the long beard on his chin with a smile.

"Gui, have you seen that doll whose hair is tied up high behind her head with a purple ribbon?"

Gui looked in the direction that Saito Yakuro's finger was pointing... The "baby" that Saito Yakuro said was referring to the chief executive.

"That doll is also very powerful..." Saito Yakuro murmured, "It is neither tall nor strong, but it has amazing strength and speed... It is really a good material for sword practice, and I don't know that he practiced sword. How long has it been..."

……

……

"Auditorium", the other end—

"Hello, Zhou Zhu."

Ah Bi frowned, and asked Zhou Zhu beside him in a worried tone:

"This style of play...is it really possible to defeat Xuanwu Hall?"

Ah Bi's hands resting on his lap have been clenched subconsciously because of tension since just now.

Zhou Zhu, who was suddenly asked this question, smiled dryly and touched his chin.

"Well... in this world, there is no 'method of victory' that can absolutely defeat an opponent."

"But Yuu's thinking of 'leaving Chiba Michizaburo until the end' is correct."

"As for whether it will be successful...it depends on how Yong and the others perform."

……

……

On the field——

"……I see."

Chiba Michizaburo rolled his eyes and glanced at the chief executive and others who surrounded him from four directions, and a faint smile appeared on his normally taciturn cheek.

"Do you want to use this method to defeat us..."

He could tell at a glance what the chief executive and the others were planning.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the shadow of Chiba Dosaburo's right arm hanging naturally while holding the knife - the sword edge raised from bottom to top, violently attacked the well standing on his right side!

Inoue grunted, raised his sword to defend, and blocked the blow.

Hijikata, who was standing beside Inoue, aimed at the moment when "Chiba Michizaburo used the sword in his right hand to attack Inoue", and took a big step forward.

Simultaneously with the sound of stepping on the ground, there was the sound of breaking the wind as Hijikata swung the sword in his hand.

Hijikata was also greedy, and the sword edge he slashed out with his cassock, roared and went straight to the porcelain bowl on Chiba Michizaburo's forehead!

At the same time, the head-to-head confrontation with Chiba Michizaburo also started to act.

She was half a beat behind Hijikata when she got close and when she drew the knife, so the target she chose was Chiba Michizaburo's underarm.

The 2 swords used one to attack and the other to attack, with tricky angles, both strength and speed, but it was a pity that they failed to achieve any results.

Chiba Michizaburo took a step back, and quickly swung the wakizashi in his left hand, hitting Hijikata's bamboo sword.

Stepping back, dodging the chief's sweep.

Waking up, Wakizashi precisely sealed the tip of Hijikata's sword in midair.

At this time, a mighty Qihe sound and a heavy breath reminiscent of "Dashan" came from behind Chiba Michizaburo.

Kondo, with a strong physique, was like a moving mountain of meat. With powerful and loud steps, he slammed the sword in his hand, together with his body, towards Chiba Dosaburo.

Chiba Michizaburo unhurriedly changed his position, turned his body to one side, raised the sword in his right hand and the wakizashi in his left hand to his chest, and cross-blocked in an "X" shape.

Sword shadow flashed.

All of a sudden, Kondo and Chiba Michizaburo—the three stalks of two people were twisted together.

Then in the next moment, only the sound of "cracking la la la" was heard, like nails grinding bamboo, Chiba Michizaburo's double swords slid away, turning Kondo's attack to the side with delicate skills, at the same time, the left hand Wakizawa stabs out in the air!Slant the porcelain bowl on Kondo's forehead!

Kondo hurriedly dodged sideways, then jumped back vigorously, pulling away from Chiba Michisaburo.

Kondo, who jumped back, just landed on Hijikata's side.

"Asheng." Tu Fang expressionlessly twisted his right wrist holding the sword, "'Hold Chiba Michizaburo'... This task seems to be much more difficult than we expected."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet." A smug smile appeared on Kondo's cheeks, "Azui, you probably don't like the feeling of losing, do you?"

"Hey..." Tufang grinned, smiled and said nothing.

……

……

7 days ago, in the afternoon——

The test hall, the dojo——

"Gentlemen, I don't say anything too complicated!"

Kondo's loud voice spread to every corner of the dojo.

All disciples who will represent the test hall to participate in the next day's competition are gathered at the dojo at this moment to listen to Kondo's "mobilization order".

Kondo, who was sitting in the first seat, had an extremely straight waist.His extraordinarily serious tone made everyone present unconsciously focus their eyes on him.

"Some people may find it very strange: the game after 7 days is not a life-or-death showdown, why should it be so solemn."

As soon as Kondo said this, the expressions of a small group of people present immediately became unnatural.

Look strange, eyes dodge.

Kondo paused for a moment as if preparing his emotions.

"Indeed, this match between us and Xuanwu Hall is just a very ordinary swordsmanship match for the purpose of 'exchanging swordsmanship'. There is neither money nor life at stake."

"but--"

As the conversation changed, Kondo's tone and expression softened.

"A swordsman who competes with others but doesn't want to win is not a good swordsman!"

"Even if it's just a game where I don't have any big losses, I don't want to lose!"

"I want to win! Do you want to win?"

As soon as the words fell, the air in the dojo was suddenly filled with shouts of high emotion:

"Want to win! Want to win!"

"Let the Xuanwu Hall see how powerful we are in the Weiwei Hall!"

"Defeat them!"

……

Kondo's loud voice has a special affinity.

His simple voice brought an uplifting and proud atmosphere to the atmosphere of the dojo and to the faces of many people.

"Brother Kondo is becoming more and more like a big shot." The chief executive said with a smile.

However, at this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded, making the expressions of Kondo and the others, who were still full of enthusiasm, froze suddenly.

"So——Ah Sheng, have you made up your mind yet?" Sitting cross-legged on the cold wooden floor, Tukuo put his right elbow on his right knee, propped his right arm on his head, and said expressionlessly, "Seven days later, we will What tactics are we going to use to deal with Xuanwu Hall?"

"Ahahahaha..." Kondo scratched his hair at the sideburns with embarrassment, "I... haven't made up my mind yet..."

"Haven't made up your mind yet?" Tu Fang was startled.

"Ahahahaha..." Kondo laughed dryly again, "The reason why I summoned you today is to hear your thoughts again."

All of a sudden, everyone in the arena discussed with different expressions.

Ever since they decided to play against the Xuanwu Hall, there have been meetings to discuss the strategy of the game almost every day in the Weiwei Hall.

However... the meeting has been going back and forth for half a month, and the result is that until now, there is still no discussion on why.

The reason for this is not difficult to explain in detail - it's just because the Xuanwu Pavilion is too strong.

Although most of the guards in the test hall do not want to admit it... But the comprehensive strength of the Xuanwu hall is indeed far higher than theirs, this is an indisputable fact.

Although the test guard hall has developed rapidly due to the absorption of many new apprentices in recent months, the gap with the Xuanwu hall, which has a very deep foundation, is obviously impossible to bridge in such a short period of time Got it.

The gap in the strength level of the people in the test guard hall is a very standard "pyramid".

People like Qingdeng and Zongsi standing on the top of the tower can become star-level swordsmen even if they go to the famous sword gymnasiums such as Xuanwu Hall and Military Training Hall.

As for the person at the bottom of the tower... that's really a top dish.

The gap between the strong and the weak among the disciples is too large, only a few are lucky enough to stand on the top of the pyramid, and the rest are wandering in the middle and bottom of the pyramid—this is the current predicament that the testing hall is facing.

At the same time, it is precisely this predicament that makes Qingdeng and the others still undecided on what strategy to use for the upcoming game.

Make bricks without straw. "Soldiers" are not strong enough, and there are too few styles of play that can be selected.

From the convening of the first "Military Council" to the present, they have worked together to come up with many tactics... but so far none of the tactics can convince everyone.

"How about... just use the tactics we used to defeat Little Chiba Sword Hall?" Someone said timidly, "Select a small number of elites..."

"No way."

This person hadn't finished his sentence when he was interrupted by Qing Deng who had devised this tactic in the first place.

"One of the keys to the success of the tactics you mentioned is surprise."

"Only when it is used for the first time, can it achieve the best enemy control effect."

"I don't think the people in the Xuanwu Gym have seriously studied how the Little Chiba Sword Gym was defeated by us at the 'Plum Blossom Festival' half a year ago."

"All in all, this kind of tactic with a high probability that has been thoroughly studied by the opponent must never be used again."

Qingdeng was about to finish his words, when he heard a certain thick-looking man shout loudly:
"Then don't use any tactics or strategies at all! Go straight ahead! Confront the people from the Xuanwu Hall!"

"I agree!" Another strong man sitting next to this strong man echoed, "Half a year ago, when Mr. Hijikata and Uncle Yuan were away, we were still able to beat Little Chiba Sword Gym to pieces! Right now, All the masters in my guarding hall are here! Why should you be afraid of Xuanwu Hall?"

"Hahaha, no way."

Inoue smiled helplessly, shook his head slightly, and continued:

"You guys don't know how scary Chiba Michizaburo is... If Chiba Michizaburo didn't participate, then you can try to use what you call the 'directly advancing like a pig'."

"Is that Chiba Michizaburo so powerful?" A young man sitting across from Inoue tilted his head in confusion.

"This...how should I put it..." Inoue stretched out his hand to pick at his scalp which was extraordinarily smooth because of Tsukiyo's shaved head.

While Inoue was still thinking about it, the director general smiled and answered for him first:
"Let me tell you this--Mr. Hijikata, who is not afraid of anything, after learning that Michizaburo Chiba will definitely come to participate in this competition, his expression changed drastically, and he said in a concentrated voice: 'This battle is not good. Hit it'."

"Is that Chiba Michizaburo so strong?" The general manager's easy-to-understand explanation made the person who just asked the question widen his eyes in astonishment.

Tufang's perverted and unrestrained personal image, as if he doesn't know what "fear" is, has already penetrated into the hearts of all the disciples in the test guard hall.

"Boss, you bastard..."

Tufang glared at the chief executive angrily, then said slowly as if trying to save face for himself:
"Don't make me sound like a ignorant fool."

"'There are mountains beyond the mountains, and the sky is higher than the mountains, and the galaxy is higher than the sky. You must not be arrogant'-I still understand this kind of truth."

"I don't know if you have ever witnessed the strength of Chiba Dosaburo."

"I've had the pleasure of meeting several times."

There was a faint look of reminiscence between Tufang's brows, and his expression was solemn.

"Chiba Dosaburo's sword...has reached a level that ordinary people would never be able to achieve after spending their entire lives studying hard."

"Tsk... think about it carefully... it feels so unfair." The young man who had just asked "Is Chiba Daozaburo strong?" lowered his head at this moment, "Chiba Daozaburo, as a member of Xuanwu Hall The host, actually ended the game in person... This is too big to bully the small..."

"You can't say that." Inoue said softly, "The owner of the Xuanwu Hall has left the competition in person, and the owner of our Weiwei Hall has also left the competition in person."

"Although the master is still the owner of our trial guard hall in name, he has already entrusted most of the operation of the sword hall to the young master since a long time ago."

"So, little master, he has long been the actual new owner of our testing hall."

"Therefore, there is no such thing as 'big bullying the small', and there is no obvious difference in the level status of the contestants on both sides."

"I feel that the topic is off topic!" Tufang impatiently tapped his fingers on the floor, "Hurry up and get back to the topic! How are we going to play the game in 7 days?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

……

Everyone, look at me, and I look at you.

No one made a sound, and the spacious dojo was surrounded by boundless silence.

"Mr. Tangerine!"

At this time, the chief executive suddenly cast his hopeful eyes on Qingdeng.

"Do you have any good ideas?"

As soon as the chief executive finished speaking, many people imitated the chief executive and looked at Qingdeng expectantly.

Last time, it was your ingenious strategy that helped us defeat the strong and Xiaoqianye Sword Hall with the weak!Can you reproduce such a feat again - the words and deeds of the director general and the others at the moment reveal such a meaning.

It's a pity that Qingdeng let them down.

"Sorry..." Qingdeng smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't have any good ideas right now."

Qingdeng is not familiar with Xuanwu Hall at all, he has never fought against people from Xuanwu Hall, and he doesn't know a few people from Xuanwu Hall.

The lack of information made Qingdeng's mind empty.

Suddenly, Kondo, who had been silent since just now, suddenly said:
"Ah, speaking of it... Mr. Ju, there is something I almost forgot to tell you. This morning, I received a very credible rumor."

After Qingdeng's eyes were attracted by his words, Kondo, who was wrapping his arms around his chest, said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Ju, I'm afraid you will have a hard time competing in the competition after 7 days."

"Hard work? Why?" Qingdeng asked back.

"It is said that when Chiba Michizaburo was recruiting candidates who would volunteer to participate in this competition, a large number of masters who were not interested in this type of swordsmanship before, or who were not interested in fighting with our guard hall actively signed up. You Guess why they are like this?"

"Ha..." Qingdeng smiled indifferently when he realized it, "Is it... to compete with me?"

"Yes."

Kondo nodded vigorously.

"According to what I heard: In order to test the skill of 'King Ren', a large number of masters from the Xuanwu Hall enthusiastically participated in the competition."

"So after 7 days... it is very likely that many people will attack you desperately."

Speaking of this, the corner of Kondo's mouth curled up, and he showed a flat smile at Qingdeng.

"You have to be mentally prepared."

After hearing this, Qingdeng smiled boldly:
"Just let them come here! I can just take this opportunity to see how capable the swordsmen in the Xuanwu Hall are!"

Many masters of the Xuanwu Hall participated in order to fight him?This is exactly what Qingdeng wanted!
This kind of opportunity to copy a large number of useful talents, why would Qingdeng not do it?

"Ha ha ha ha."

The director turned his face and showed Qingdeng a smile with a strong playful color.

"If you, Mr. Ju, can reproduce the deeds you did in Xiaoqianye Sword Hall a while ago in the arena seven days later, then the name 'King of Kings' will be even more awe-inspiring."

Qingdeng defeated the 18 disciples of Xiaoqianye Sword Academy in a row, until no one dared to fight again in Xiaoqianye Sword Academy-this kind of thing that can't be concealed has been spread for a long time.

Compared with Qingdeng's previous achievements, the mere defeat of the masters of Xiaoqianye Sword Gym seems a bit too worthless.

Therefore, after the news of Qingdeng's new deed spread, it did not cause any big waves in the market and the swordsmanship circle in Edo. We have more conversations after dinner.

Faced with the director's ridicule, Qingdeng did not respond in any way.

Because at this very moment... If the description is more specific, after listening to Kondo's reminder just now, Qing Deng suddenly felt a flash of light in his mind.

Inspiration is such a wonderful thing.When you pursue it deliberately, it does not appear for a long time, and when you have it unintentionally, it often appears suddenly without warning.

"Mr. Tangerine?"

The director noticed Qingdeng's strangeness, and whispered Qingdeng's name suspiciously.

But at this moment, Qingdeng could no longer hear any outside voices.

His whole mind was immersed in thinking.

The chaotic thoughts in my mind are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle, suddenly pieced together a brand new strategy.

Although it is quite risky, if you operate it properly, you will be able to defeat Xuanwukan's strategy beautifully!

Coincidentally - at almost the same time, Hijikata also showed this expression of sudden realization as if he had suddenly thought of something.

"... Orange."

"Huh?" Qingdeng, who had gradually recovered from his contemplation, turned his head to look at Tu Fang who suddenly called him.

"Suddenly... I have a new idea." Tufang raised his head and met Qingdeng's eyes solemnly, "Are you willing to be our general general in the competition seven days later?"

"Coincidentally..." Qingdeng said with a smile, "We seem to want to go together..."

……

……

Time goes back to the present-

"what……"

Qingdeng let out a foul breath and smiled self-deprecatingly.

"We are really reckless..."

This set of tactics that Qingdeng and Tufang jointly drafted by coincidence 7 days ago is quite simple——

The general manager, Kondo, Hijikata and Inoue are responsible for holding Chiba Michizaburo back, and let Qingdeng, who has a wealth of experience in fighting more with less, lead the rest of the team to "eliminate" all opponents except Chiba Michizaburo. In the end, they concentrated all their combat power and attacked Chiba Michizaburo together.

To put it simply, this tactic is to take advantage of the careful thinking of many players in the Xuanwu Gym that they only go to the game to fight against Qingdeng.

Chiba Michizaburo's strength is unfathomable, so don't fight him first, and use a small amount of elites to entangle him first.

Let Qingdeng, who has the attribute of being "easy to be targeted by the opponent", lead a large force to launch a fierce attack until Chiba Michizaburo becomes the "commander of the light", and then turn around and slowly deal with this double swordsman. Swordsman!
The reason why Qingdeng was selected as the general was simply to "attract firepower" better and attract more people to fight against Qingdeng.

The entire battle plan sounds beautiful and feasible, but it is too risky, and many people strongly oppose this radical strategy.

After discussing on and off until the night before yesterday, everyone finally made a final decision—we couldn't come up with any better plan!Let's take a risk with this set of tactics jointly formulated by Qingdeng and Tufang!

"Wow ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Just when Qing Deng was secretly feeling the boldness of their actions, suddenly a loud shout sounded from behind him, interrupting his thoughts.

Relying on superb footwork, a certain person approached Qingdeng's side and rear, and swung the bamboo sword held in the upper section from the top of Qingdeng's head in the air. porcelain bowl.

Seeing this, Qingdeng made a reverse slash from below.

The attack speed of the two seems to be indistinguishable, but in fact, Qingdeng's sword strikes first——

"Kara" click.

Another person's porcelain bowl was smashed.

The world-renowned Xuanwu Hall was unexpectedly begged by Qing Deng for two "heads" in a blink of an eye.

A hint of anxiety began to appear on the face of the haughty Chiba Tamon Shirō.

On the contrary, Chiba Michizaburo was still quite calm and composed.
