I formed the strongest swordsman group

Qingdeng's eyebrows have not been relieved ever since his scarred face handed over the IOU for his gambling debt.

This scarred face is eloquent and eloquent, his speech is orderly, and he can speak all kinds of respectful words at his fingertips. Coupled with the vague and elegant aura escaping from him, if it weren't for being able to touch his collarbone, You can see hideous tattoos on the forearm and other places that cannot be covered by clothes, otherwise people might mistake him for a teacher from a private school.

He returned the gambling debts and the hundreds of taels of repayment that Qingdeng and his family had paid before to Qingdeng with both hands, and then said something to Qingdeng with the most top-notch honorific, "Our leader Shimizu Eiichi I really admire you" and other compliments, Scarface bowed slightly to Qingdeng.

"The IOU and the money have been delivered to me."

"If you take the liberty to disturb your Excellency and your house, please forgive me."

Scarface turned around, and also bowed to Zhou Zhu and others who were standing at the gate of the testing hall.

"The matter is over, please forgive me and leave first."

"Ah, yes. I almost forgot to mention it."

"Master Shimizu never hesitates to help a young hero like you."

"Mr. Orange, if you need help with anything in the future, you can come to us."

"For example, when dealing with some cases, we need someone to help collect clues, and we are very happy to help."

"We 'Qingshui Clan' dare not speak other big words."

"But in the territory of Edo, Yokohama, and Kanagawa...for certain people and certain things, what we "Shimizu Clan" say may be more useful than the Emperor and General Zhengyi."

When Scarface said this, his tone was quite flat.

But under this bland tone, there is a hint of pride and confidence hidden!

After saying "retire" to Qingdeng and others, Scarface led the group of subordinates behind him away, and his figure disappeared under the high slope where the test hall was located.

After Scarface and the others left, Zhou Zhu and the others walked out of the gate of the testing hall and surrounded Qing Deng who was still standing outside the gate of the testing hall.

"What are those people doing?" Harada scratched his hair blankly, "I thought they were here to make trouble... I even brought my long gun with me."

Harada shook the spear he was carrying on his shoulder, and continued.

"It turned out that he was only here to repay Mr. Ju's father's gambling debt and the repayments he had made before... When did Yakuza of the "Qingshui Clan" become so kind? He even took the initiative to forgive the debt."

As soon as Harada's voice fell, Tufang said in a bad mood: "You expect Yakuza to show kindness and reason with you, it is better to expect those apprentices in the Great Sword Gym to stop being so arrogant, at least The latter may be even more likely."

Zhou Zhu, who is over sixty years old and has eaten more salt than Qingdeng and the others, slightly opened his squinted eyes, staring at the direction where Scarface and the others left: "They should be seeing Juju Now Jun is on the way to Qingyun, so I want to build a good relationship with Ju Jun."

"En." As soon as Zhou Zhu finished speaking, Qing Deng nodded his head lightly, "I guess so..."

It was hardly a secret that Yakuza had a close relationship with people in the government.

It would be better to say: Yakuza is able to live so nourishingly by making friends with the people in the government and winning over the officials.

Trying to win over new political stars... This is also a common operation of those Yakuza.

Because Qingdeng has made great achievements one after another at an astonishing speed recently, and he was born in the "Three Chapters" who were in charge of public security in Edo, it is not difficult to speculate-now Qingdeng is in the eyes of the "Qiyomizu Clan". Naturally, it has a very high wooing value.

Apart from building a good relationship with him and preparing to win him over in the future, Qingdeng really can't think of any reason why these cannibals would suddenly "discover their conscience" and send their Ju family's All arrears were forgiven and all the money that their Ju family had previously paid back was returned.

"...If they want to establish a good relationship with me by canceling our family's debts, then they really think too much." Qingdeng turned his gaze back to the IOU in his hand, with neither sad nor happy tone Very bland.

For these Yakuza who have done all kinds of dirty and cruel things that normal people dare not even think about, Qingdeng only has a bad feeling, not a good feeling.

No matter what the "Qingshui Clan" did to him and what kind of benefits they gave him, Qingdeng would not have the slightest liking for the "Qingshui Clan".

Therefore, out of aversion to Yakuza, even if the "Qingshui Clan" has now written off their Tachibana family's debts, Qingdeng does not have the slightest feeling of "accepting their favor".

What's more-it is very funny to talk about the so-called favor and debt of favor with Yakuza, who has no sense of law and morality at all, and the bottom line is that there is no bottom line.

When someone is determined to do something to you, it doesn't matter whether you owe the other party a favor or whether the other party owes you a favor, the result is the same—whether they recognize it or not depends on their mood.

The "Qingshui Clan" directly wrote off their Ju family's debt of more than 500 taels of gold, and they had already made enough gestures to establish a good relationship with him.

In this way, no matter whether Qingdeng accepts their overture of "clearing up the debts", the result will not be different.

It is obviously impossible for the "Qingshui Clan" to stop courting Qingdeng just because Qingdeng does not accept their overtures.

Since this is the case, it is better to simply accept the IOUs and repayments returned by them.

Harada pursed his lips and looked up at the sky.

He seemed to be thinking about what Qingdeng, Zhou Zhu and the others were talking about just now.

But it was obvious—he didn't have the habit of using his brain, and his brain automatically triggered the resistance mechanism.

After only about 5 seconds, Harada shook his head vigorously with a weary face: "Although I don't quite understand what you are talking about just now, this should be considered a good thing, right? You don't need to pay back those Guy got money."

After that, Harada smiled foolishly, while stretching out his arms to wrap Qingdeng's shoulders.

"Mr. Orange, congratulations! Your family's gambling debts are settled!"

"Hmm..." The corners of Qingdeng's mouth curled up with emotion.

Since he had never met his father, Takashi Tachibana, who had long since died of illness, Qingdeng's deepest impression of Tachibana Takashi was that he "leaved him with a rather troublesome debt".

And now, this big trouble has finally been solved in an unexpected way.

Qingdeng folded the IOU in his hand and put it back into his arms with peace of mind.

The sudden gift from the "Qingshui Clan" can be regarded as reducing one of the two "big mountains" that were originally weighing on Qingdeng's shoulders.

After the threat of "gambling debts owed to the 'Qing Shui Clan'" is gone, the threat that now weighs on Qing Deng's shoulders...the only thing left is the barbarian group that wants to take his life, has been very quiet recently, and has not come out to be active again !

...

...

Yongcang and Harada, who stayed in the test hall as diners, added a lot of popularity to the "Diner Room", which is spacious enough to sleep 10 people.

Although Yongcang and Harada are big and thick, they sleep surprisingly quietly. They don't even snore when they sleep, so their stay does not destroy the original peace of the "diners".

In fact, even if the two of them sleep extremely poorly and snore like thunder when they sleep, it will not affect Qingdeng's work and rest in any way.

After all, there is the "God of Sleep", no matter how noisy the external environment is, Qingdeng can close his eyes and fall asleep peacefully.

At 2 o'clock in the morning, Qing Deng, who has developed a stable biological clock, opened his eyes on time with full of energy.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Qingdeng heard the steady breathing of other people in the room.

Qingdeng crawled out of the bed lightly, picked up the orange juice that was placed on the bedside knife holder without worrying about being "recognized with a knife" by others, and then took out the "Fox Monk" from the locker. "Suit": behind black clothes and a black fox mask, pretending to go to the dojo to practice swords, and "among diners".

After going down the stairs to the first floor of the testing hall, Qingdeng left the testing hall without stopping, and went straight to the back alley of the ramen restaurant not far from the testing hall.

After entering the alley, Qingdeng saw nothing except the dim moonlight and the dust on the ground.

Just when Qingdeng thought he was coming early, he heard footsteps coming from the roof of the house on the left side of the alley, and then heard Kinoshita Mai's voice: "Ah, it seems that I am late."

Qingdeng followed the sound and looked up - Kinoshita Mai, who put on the "cat monk suit" and carried a black cloth bag of unknown content on his back, squatted on the roof of the house like a cat.

Qing Deng shook his head: "You're not late, I just arrived."

"That's it, that's good." Kinoshita Mai turned over, and like a diver in her previous life, she quickly made a jump, adjusted her posture, and landed soundlessly on the ground during the distance from the roof to the ground. series of actions.

"Mr. Orange, good evening."

"Well, good evening."

The reason why I met Kinoshita Mai late at night was not to chat with her here.

So after exchanging a few words with Kinoshita Wu, Qingdeng went straight to the point: "Miss Kinoshita, have you found someone else who needs my help?"

Kinoshita Wu was also unambiguous, seeing that Qingdeng got straight to the point, she nodded lightly:

"Well. But the target I'm aiming at this time is not a criminal gang like last time."

"I want you to help me investigate a place this time."

"Mr. Ju, do you remember what I said last time? In order to get rid of the scourge of the 'Radical Barbarian Sect' as soon as possible, I will patrol all over Edo almost every night during this time, looking for the 'Radical Barbarian Sect' clues and whereabouts.”

"Just last night, I found a very suspicious place, which seems to be the den of the 'Radical Barbarian Sect'."

Den, "radical anti-barbarian faction" - these two words are superimposed together, making Qingdeng's eyes focus for a moment.

Qingdeng signaled Kinoshita Mai with his eyes to explain in detail.

Kinoshita Mai, who understood the meaning of Qingdeng's eyes, simply conceived words and sentences, and said slowly:

"Just last night, when I was patrolling the eastern suburbs of Edo, I accidentally found three samurai sneaking into an abandoned tea house because no one was operating it anymore."

"It's a big tea house, it's three stories high."

"Going in and out of such an abandoned tea house in the middle of the night...I thought it was quite suspicious, so I tried to sneak into the tea house."

"As a result, I failed to sneak in - there are an incredible number of guards hidden in this tea house."

"The windows on the third floor of the tea house are closed, only the roof has a hole that has been in disrepair for a long time. After entering the tea house through this hole, I found a lot of stones at the stairway connecting the third floor and the second floor. The samurai is on guard there."

"Because there are too many guards, I can't even get close, so I can only retreat temporarily yesterday."

"There are so many warriors guarding a deserted tea house... I very much doubt that this tea house is a stronghold of the Barbarian faction."

"...Mmm." Qing Deng, who had been listening carefully to Kinoshita Mai's narration, nodded lightly at this moment, "This tea house...is indeed very suspicious..."

"So, Tachibana-kun, I would like to invite you to investigate that tea house with me." Mai Kinoshita said seriously, "Last night, the reason why I was trapped on the third floor was that I couldn't even get close to the stairs leading to the second floor. It is because there are too many guards in the tea house, even if I want to stun them all, I am alone and weak, unable to fight against so many warriors by myself."

"But with your help, things will be different."

"With your help, with the strength of the two of us, we can try to knock down all those guards!"

"As long as there are no guards in the way, you can easily sneak into the second and first floors of the tea house to see what's going on in this tea house!"

As soon as Kinoshita Wu's words fell, Qingdeng couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, and then complained strangely:

"Kill all the guards... This is no longer called infiltration?"

"One of my elders once taught me——" Kinoshita Mai showed a smiling expression on her face hidden under the black veil, "As long as you don't let people find you, it's a perfect infiltration. And don't let people find you There are many ways to do this.”

"Your elder's thinking is quite advanced..." Qingdeng laughed dumbly.

The elder's words in Kinoshita Mai's mouth reminded Qingdeng of a famous Internet saying in his previous life: As long as all the enemies are killed, it will be a perfect infiltration.

Qingdeng collected his mind and began to think carefully about the new commission that Kinoshita Mai just handed over.

After thinking for less than 3 seconds, Qingdeng nodded slightly to Kinoshita Mai:

"I see. Let's go, let's go and see what's going on with that tea house."

Kinoshita Wu seemed not expecting Qingdeng's response to be so forthright, Kinoshita Wu was stunned for a moment, and then the blankness on her face quickly turned into a look of joy.

Qingdeng pulled down the black fox mask pinned on his head to block his face, and he and Kinoshita Wu walked out of the dark alley one after the other through the night.

Tonight is a moonless cloudy day, so going out of the dark alley is just going from one darkness to another darkness.

As soon as he got out of the dark alley, Kinoshita Wu who was walking in front suddenly turned around and smiled at Qing Deng:

"...Mr. Tangerine, thank you."

"Huh? What are you thanking for?"

"Thank you for being willing to help me." Kinoshita Mai's eyes turned into beautiful crescent moons when she smiled.

Qingdeng smiled lightly: "So it's thanks for this...you don't have to thank me here and there."

"I promised you - if you encounter any assistance that needs my assistance, I will do my best to provide assistance."

"I just kept my promise to you."

"and……"

Qingdeng changed the topic, and his eyes slowly narrowed.

"The teahouse you stumbled across is most likely the stronghold of the 'Radical Barbarian Sect'...Since it is related to the 'Radical Barbarian Sect', I can't stand by."

For some reason, Qingdeng feels "worried about her" towards Kinoshita Mai.

Therefore, on the night when Kinoshita Wu learned that Kinoshita Wu was Mao Xiaoseng, Kinoshita Wu asked him, "Would you like to help me again in the future when I need your assistance?" Qingdeng solemnly nodded to Kinoshita Wu This action is not a whim.

He is sincerely willing to provide all the help he can for this 15-year-old girl with a strong sense of justice.

What's more, just like what Qingdeng said just now... Even if the agreement between him and Kinoshita Mai is not mentioned, just the reason that "that tea house may be related to the radical anti-barbarian faction" is enough to make Qingdeng difficult to agree. Kinoshita Mai's request for assistance turned a blind eye.

To uproot the barbarian group - this is Qingdeng's strongest and most urgent desire now.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if the barbarian group is not uprooted, it will be difficult for Qingdeng to stabilize completely.

Before Qingdeng offended the barbarian group, he was targeted by the barbarian group because of the absurd reason that "he worked in the American embassy for a while".

Afterwards, the previous confrontations with the Koi group made Qingdeng and the Koi group completely forge a deadly feud that could not be unraveled.

In order to achieve their own goals, these lunatics even dared to burn down the cities and towns of Edo. What else would they not dare to do?

According to Kinoshita Mai's various descriptions, that tea house was most likely used as a stronghold for activities by those "radical extermination faction" who always like to make troubles.

This group of samurai occupying this tea house might be members of the Koi-gumi—even for this possibility, Qingdeng, who just wanted to get rid of the Koi-gumi as soon as possible, would accompany Kinoshita no matter what. Dance for a walk.

Kinoshita Wu heard it, but she ignored Qingdeng's words, "Since it is related to the 'radical anti-barbarians' faction, then I can't just stand by." Her mind and attention were all on Qingdeng. On the sentence "I just fulfilled my promise to you" just now.

Kinoshita Mai stared blankly for a moment, and then saw her quickly turn her gaze back to the front, while lifting the black face scarf on her face higher, until it was close to her eyelids, using the face scarf to lift her The slightly flushed cheeks were tightly covered.

Tonight's cloudy and cloudy sky with thin moonlight provided great convenience for Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai's actions.

The two of them were like hopping across the grid, moving quickly in the shadows of houses and streets.

At this time, the two of them suddenly saw two shaky figures clinging to each other at the intersection they had to pass in front of them.

Both Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai, who have already put on "Phantom Thief Costumes", are now the famous Edo "Phantom Thief Duo": Mao Xiaoseng and Fox Xiaoseng, so it is best not to be seen by others and whereabouts.

The two walked in the same direction quite tacitly at the same time: to hide at a dew intersection on the left, that is, a path without eaves between two rows of houses.

The black outfits on them blended perfectly with this dew intersection.

When Qingdeng and Kinoshita Wu had just hid, the two shaky figures just appeared at the intersection—they were two young people who should not even be 20 years old.

This pair of young people colluded together, their faces were flushed with a blush that even the darkness couldn't hide, even though they were separated by a long distance, the smell of alcohol from the two of them still reached the noses of Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai.

The weather is getting warmer now, so the young couple, who are so drunk that they can't even walk straight, wear only loosely dressed kimonos.

Because they didn't even pull the skirts neatly, it was quite clear that the two men had large tattoos on their entire upper bodies.

Both Qingdeng and Kinoxia Wu frowned—with such large tattoos on their bodies...it was self-evident what their identities were.

After quietly waiting for the two drunk Yakuzas to go away, Qingdeng glanced at the direction in which the pair left, and suddenly recalled in his mind the incident of "the Qingshui clan exempting their Tachibana debt" that happened this evening. files.

"...Miss Kinoshita, have you ever tried to do something to the "Shimizu Clan" and steal money from the "Shimizu Clan"?"

"Hmm." Kinoshita Wu blinked at Qingdeng suspiciously, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Qing Deng was silent for a moment, then softly replied: "It's nothing...just a random question on a whim."

Because this is not something that needs to be concealed from others, after thinking about it for a while, Qingdeng simply decided to tell Kinoshita Mai succinctly what happened this evening.

After hearing that Qingdeng had encountered such a thing today, Kinoshita Wu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise, and then she straightened her face and said seriously:

"Mr. Ju, you should pay more attention to that 'Qingshui Clan' in the future...they are showing favor to you, most likely they are trying to win you over."

"En." Qingdeng nodded, "I know. Apart from trying to win me over, they probably have no other reason to cancel our family's debts."

Seeing Qingdeng's self-consciousness in this regard, Kinoshita Mai nodded slightly, then lowered her head slightly, chewing the name "Qingshui Clan" in her mouth.

"...I planned to attack this notorious Yakuza group a long time ago."

"However……"

A wry smile appeared on Kinoshita Mai's face.

"The 'No. 1 Yakuza Group in Edo' of the 'Shimizu Clan'...is really not in vain."

"Not to mention their clan, each of their branches has a large number of guards, and each guard is a warrior with a sword on his waist."

"It's not an exaggeration to say that the clan and every branch of the 'Qingshui Clan' are impenetrable fortresses, and they can't even get close, let alone sneak in to steal their money."

"So far, I have tried several times to steal the money of the 'Qingshui Clan', but every time I couldn't find the opportunity to sneak in, and I could only return without success..."

As soon as Kinoshita Wu's words fell, Qing Deng silently said in his heart:

——Returning in vain...I think so.

Regarding Kinoshita Mai's answer just now...Qingdeng was not surprised.

As a member of the "Three Returns", he is more aware of the power of the "Shimizu Clan" than ordinary people.

The Yakuza of this era is completely incomparable with those modern extreme elements.

To put it simply - the Yakuza of this era can justifiably ask those modern extreme people: Do you gang of insects have the nerve to call them "violent gangs"? it's so funny!

For black and evil forces like Yakuza, the lack of social order is the soil for their survival.

In the early days of the Edo period, when the Edo shogunate was still very strong and could effectively maintain social order, the Yakuza could only struggle to survive.

However, as the rule of the Edo shogunate gradually decayed, and the small-scale peasant economy as the country's foundation gradually collapsed under the general trend of history, the Yakuza immediately flourished like mushrooms after rain.

One of the major factors that led to the rapid development of the Yakuza was that more and more samurai who could not survive began to join them.

Due to the flaws and rigidity of the system, as early as hundreds of years ago, a large number of middle- and lower-level warriors were destitute, and it was extremely difficult to even earn enough food and clothing.

As a result, a large number of warriors who "learned literary and martial arts but could not reach the emperor's family" had no choice but to embrace Yakuza in order to survive.

Whether there are highly educated cultural people in a group is completely different in nature.

With more warriors joining, Yakuza began to grow in an orderly and organized way.

Therefore, the Yakuzas of the Edo period should not be simply regarded as a bunch of rotten boys who can only be hated - a large number of their members have the right to wear swords and have learned the killing technique of swordsmanship since childhood warrior!

The abundance of martial arts is not comparable to the so-called extreme people in modern times who are generally ordinary people before joining the extreme way, and can't even take a knife out of the house.

Because those Yakuza groups with certain power basically have considerable force, there is often such a saying in Edo: If the "Qiyomizu Clan" wants to bloodbath the two major execution offices in the south and north of Edo, then It only takes an hour, and there will be no survivors left in the two major enforcement offices.

As a member of the "Three Returns" and an insider in the industry, Qingdeng can say responsibly: This kind of talk is really not just bragging...

It may be an exaggeration to bloodbath the two major enforcement offices in one hour, but there is no doubt that the "Qingshui clan" possesses such a powerful force that even the enforcement offices dare not use them rashly.

After any Yakuza group has developed to a certain level, if it wants to expand further, it needs to find someone who can cover them and benefit from them in the political arena.

The "Shimizu Clan", known as the "No. 1 Yakuza Group in Edo", is no exception.

Everyone knows that the people of the "Qingshui Clan" lend usury, smuggle goods, extort, kidnap and traffic people... They have done all kinds of bad things, but because someone is covering them, the people in the enforcement office have been doing nothing to the "Qingshui Clan"... …

Every time there is a case related to the "Qingshui Clan", there will be a lot of resistance from the superior and the superior at the same time, and it is completely impossible to investigate the case, and in the end it can only die without a problem.

Not only was the enforcement office unable to punish the "Qiyomizu Clan", it was also difficult to detect intelligence about the "Qiyomizu Clan".

So far, the enforcement agency has always been short of information on the "Qiyomizu Clan".

How many people they have grown to now, how many warriors they have under their command, what cadres they have, how far their power has expanded, whether they have stored heavy weapons such as guns and artillery...all these important information are unknown!

The only thing confirmed is where their headquarters and several important branches are located, and their unfathomable and powerful force...

The "Qiyomizu Clan" has such power and force, and Kinoshita Mai also feels helpless towards them, which is really not surprising.

"...Miss Kinoshita, let's go." Qing Deng pouted angrily towards the outside of the alley.

For the "Qingshui Clan" who are trying to win him over now, and it is difficult for them not to interact with them in the future, they can leave it for the time being and think about how to deal with it later.

Now, let's focus on investigating the suspicious tea house first!

...

...

The suspicious tea house that Mai Kinoshita mentioned was located somewhere in the eastern suburbs of Edo.

Not long after entering the eastern suburbs of Edo, under Mai Kinoshita's identification, Qingdeng saw an old tea house with a height of 3 floors far in front of him.

"Let's follow my sneaking route yesterday and sneak in through the hole above the roof." Mai Kinoshita said.

Qingdeng looked around the tea house: "The houses around this tea house are very short... There is no way to jump from the roof of the next house to the roof of the tea house. When thinking about the roof of the tea house, you can only follow the outer wall of the tea house Climb up."

Kinoshita dance nodded: "Yes. Yes, I can only climb up directly. I climbed up with bare hands last night."

"In order to facilitate climbing to the top floor, I brought this specially tonight."

Kinoshita Mai took off the small cloth bag on her back, untied it, and saw that the cloth bag contained a hook and rope painted black.

"I made this myself." Kinoshita Dance said with a little pride in her tone, "I didn't bring this with me last night, so I had a hard time climbing the stairs. Come with me, I know there is a place that is the best Infiltrate the location."

Qingdeng nodded, followed closely by Kinoshita Mai, and the two tiptoed around to the southwest corner of the teahouse.

When he was a little closer to the tea house, Qing Deng clearly saw that every window of the tea house was closed tightly, and outsiders could not see the scene inside the tea house at all.

Because they were already close to the tea house, in order not to disturb the people in the tea house, Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai both silently silenced and slowed down their breathing.

Kinoshita Mai looked left and right, and after confirming that the surroundings were quite safe, she shook off the hook rope in her hand. She raised her hand and swung it upwards, and the iron hook smoothly hooked to the eaves of the teahouse roof.

After pulling hard to confirm that the hook rope was tight, Mai Kinoshita, who volunteered to hit the vanguard, pulled the hook rope with his hands, stepped on the outer wall of the tea house, and climbed to the top first.

Immediately afterwards, Qingdeng, who climbed the stairs after Kinoshita Mai, also stood on the roof of the teahouse very smoothly.

Kinoshita Mai waved to Qingdeng, and then led Qingdeng to walk towards a big hole in the northeast corner of the roof lightly.

On the way to this tea house, Kinoshita Mai mentioned to Qingdeng that there is a room with nothing under the hole.

As soon as they came to the side of the hole and took a look into the hole, the expressions of the two of them suddenly became weird—there was just a warrior standing under the hole.

Qing Deng and Kinoshita Mai exchanged glances.

After the two carefully confirmed that there was no one else under the hole except the samurai, Mai Kinoshita pointed at herself, and then pointed at the samurai standing directly under the hole...

The samurai standing below the hole was yawning boredly while holding the knife at his waist.

The reason why this person happened to be standing directly under the hole was purely because he wanted to amuse himself.

Because he felt very stuffy and wanted to breathe, he sneaked into this room specially, and stood under the big hole in the tea house, breathing the fresh air that came into the house from the hole.

He has been yawning constantly due to sleepiness since just now, and his mind is extremely inattentive.

His careless attitude prevented him from noticing that there were two people standing on the hole above his head.

Kinoshita Mai, who was crouching on the hole above his head, calibrated his downward direction, landed on the ground and jumped down!

Hearing the strange sound of breaking wind above his head, the samurai felt refreshed instantly, and quickly raised his head to look over his head.

But obviously - it's too late.

As soon as he raised his head, he felt his head was clamped by something.

Then...

Boom!

The samurai felt a blow to the neck.

The intense pain caused by this heavy blow made the warrior not even have time to scream, so he rolled his eyes, lost consciousness, and passed out...

After successfully knocking out the samurai, Mai Kinoshita waved to Qing Deng who was still on the hole.

Seeing Kinoshita Wu's gesture, Qingdeng nodded, jumped, and landed firmly beside Kinoshita Wu.

——There really are unidentified warriors lurking in this teahouse...

Looking at the samurai lying at his feet who had been knocked unconscious by Mai Kinoshita, Qingdeng's expression subconsciously became solemn, and his heart became more vigilant.

Are you ready——Kinoshita Mai asked Qingdeng with her eyes.

Qingdeng didn't reply, but nodded vigorously.

Kinoshita Wu nodded in harmony, and then walked out of the room together with Qingdeng, lowering the center of gravity of their bodies.

As soon as the paper sliding door of the room was opened, the darkness in the corridor outside the room attacked Qing Deng and the others.

Not long after leaving the room, the two found another samurai—a thinner samurai standing at the corner of the corridor ahead.

This samurai was also the same as the samurai who was knocked out by Kinoshita Mai just now. He probably thought that this place was quite safe, and it was impossible for outsiders to sneak in here, so he was very distracted and just yawned.

Qingdeng and Kinoshita danced a glance at each other.

Let me come——Qingdeng said to Kinoshita Mai with his eyes.

And Kinoshita Mai didn't talk nonsense, just nodded, and then stopped in place.

In order to prevent the orange juice on his waist from bumping into something and making abnormal noises, Qingdeng carefully held the orange juice on his waist with his left hand, while squatting halfway, leaning towards it bit by bit from behind. A samurai still yawning.

The next moment when he silently approached the back of the slack warrior, Qingdeng quickly jumped up, covered the warrior's mouth with his left hand, raised his right hand high, and gave the warrior's neck a hard blow with his side forearm. Came for a while.

The floors in this hallway are all wooden.

Therefore, if someone draws a knife to kill someone, the sound of blood spurting and flowing onto the wooden floor will be particularly obvious, which will easily attract the attention of others.

And Qingdeng didn't want to be good at butchering knives before he found out who these warriors were.

The warrior who was attacked by Qingdeng rolled his eyes and passed out before he even had time to hum.

After successfully dealing with the samurai and putting the fainted samurai on the ground, Qingdeng raised his hand to Kinoshita Mai at the rear, and the two continued to move forward.

The two continued to advance for a certain distance along the corridor in the dark, and then found the sentry post.

This time, we found 2 guard posts in one breath.

The distance between the two warriors standing guard at these two guard posts was extremely close, and if any warrior on one guard post was killed, he would be discovered by the warriors at the other guard post.

So if you don't want to be discovered, you can only kill these two warriors at the same time.

So Qing Deng and Kinoshita Mai exchanged glances again.

Without any communication, just by exchanging eyes, the two made decisions and assigned tasks.

Qingdeng walked towards the samurai on the left.

Kinoshita Mai walked towards the samurai on the right.

Kinoshita Mai's movements are softer and less likely to be detected than Qingdeng's.

Qingdeng repeated the steps of knocking out the warrior just now: stealthily sneaked around behind the warrior, and then hit him hard on the neck.

While Qingdeng knocked out the samurai he was in charge of, Kinoshita Wu also got rid of the samurai she was in charge of.
