I formed the strongest swordsman group

Eiichi Shimizu looked at Kamaitachi in astonishment, and then quickly and subconsciously looked at Rakshasa.

Rakshasa's reaction...was extremely calm.

He calmly raised his eyes and looked at Kama Itachi who was staring down at him condescendingly, with a flat expression, as if he had expected Kama Itachi to respond to him in this way.

"Why give orders to you?" Rakshasa softly repeated the question that Kamaitachi just sent, "Just because you made a mistake accidentally, Master Orochi was transferred to my command. Is this enough reason?"

"Stop fucking me with Orochi-sama!" Kamaitachi waved his big hand impatiently, and several veins burst out on the side of his neck because of his roar, "I only listen to Orochi-sama and Otakemaru-sama order! Other than these two adults, no matter whether you are higher than me in status or stronger than me, don't come here to tell me what to do!"

Kamaitachi let out a louder roar, making the atmosphere of the tea room even more tense.

Faced with this sudden change, Shimizu Eiichi couldn't hide the growing astonishment on his cheeks.

Shimizu Eiichi and Kama Itachi met for the first time, not much earlier than Kanno who had just left, and he did not meet Kama Itachi for the first time until this morning.

Since we had just met for a short time, Shimizu Eiichi, who was not yet familiar with Kama Itachi, was surprised by Kama Itachi's extremely irritable temper.

After looking at Kama Itachi, and then at Rakshasa, Eiichi Shimizu wisely chose to keep his mouth shut and didn't say a word.

Contradictions among the cadres of the Falun Gong Party... This kind of situation is not something he can talk about.

After Kamaitachi's roar fell, the tea room fell into a brief cemetery-like silence.

The calm-looking Raksha looked deeply at Kamaitachi, and after about a quarter of an hour, as if recalling some funny joke, he chuckled and let out a "chi chi chi chi" laugh.

"The cadres of our Falun Gong Party... are really more individual than each other."

Kacha... Raksha stretched out his left hand, grabbed his favorite sword Changyang Masamune with a red handle and red sheath resting on his right hand, and stood up slowly.

"Kama Itachi, how I say now is also your manager in name."

"If you don't listen to my orders and do whatever you want, where will my face go?"

"Why not?"

"Kaitachi, don't you like fighting the most?"

"The two of us will draw out our knives now and have a good fight."

"If you can beat me, I won't care about you from now on. You can do whatever you want."

"But if I win you, you have to obediently follow my instructions and act."

"how do you feel?"

Kamaitachi's originally stern face was visibly shaken as Rakshasa's voice fell.

Probably from hearing the words "The two of us will draw out our swords now...", Kamaitachi and Raksha stared at each other, and there was a faint vigilance and... vigilance in the brows.

Raksha noticed the strange emotion on Kamaitachi's brows, and he shrugged slightly with a charming expression on his face.

"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."

"You don't need to completely defeat me."

"As long as you can leave a wound on my body...even if it's just to break my skin, I will count you as the winner."

"As for me, I have to beat you to the point where I can't fight back, so that it can be counted as my victory."

"How? This condition is not too harsh, right?"

When he said this, Luo Sha raised his right hand subconsciously, and touched the lower part of his right collarbone... To be precise, he touched a 3-inch-long shallow scar located under the right collarbone.

As long as I can inflict a little injury on Rakshasa, I can win... Such favorable conditions did not make Kamaitachi look happy, but on the contrary, it also made Kamaitachi look like he was injured by Rakshasa. The color of grief and indignation given to despise.

However, even though Rakshasa had already offered such favorable conditions for his victory, Kamaitachi continued to remain silent, and did not respond to Rakshasa's proposal for a competition.

Looking at the still quite quiet Kamaitachi, Raksha pulled the corner of his mouth, and the corner of his upturned mouth drew a mocking arc.

"What's the matter? The winning and losing conditions are so favorable to you, don't you still dare to compete with me?"

"Kaitachi, don't you even have the confidence to leave a wound on my body?"

Rakshasa's words without sadness or joy, spoken in a peaceful tone...like a spark, ignited the powder keg of Kamaitachi.

Kamaitachi's emotions were like lava bursting from a crater, his cheeks turned red, his eyes widened, and more veins burst out on his neck.

"Damn! Just hit! I'm still afraid of you?!"

Kamaitachi jumped back a few steps vigorously, widening the distance from Rakshasa, then raised his right hand, tightly grasped the fabric of the clothes on his left shoulder, swung it back vigorously, and took off the kimono on his upper body.

The sickle weasel with its sturdy upper body also revealed the tattoo on its back - a white weasel-like creature with a scythe on its tail.

It is the famous wind demon: Kamaitachi!

Kamaitachi pulled out the saber hanging from his left waist with a "chuss".

This is a sword with a rather large curvature... It looks very much like the sickle tail on the Kamaitachi tattoo on his back.

The atmosphere in the tea room changed from suffocating and tense to chilling!

Glancing at Kamaitachi with tattoos on his upper body and sword drawn, Shimizu Eiichi asked Raksha in a deep voice, "Master Raksha...do you need me to avoid it?"

"No, no, no." Luo Sha smiled lightly, "You can just stay here. After all... this battle will end soon."

Raksha inserted Changyang Masamune, which was carried by his left hand, back into the belt on his left waist, and then retracted his hands into the wide sleeves of the kimono. The kimono on his upper body was thrown back, and he also took off the clothes on his upper body.

As the kimono covering the upper body fell down, the tattoo on Rakshasa's back also appeared - wearing a jet-black armor that was connected with flesh and blood, his bluish-white skin looked strange, and his mouth full of fangs smiled ferociously .

Eating human flesh and blood, or flying in the air, or walking on the ground, swift and fearsome evil spirit: Rakshasa!

"Come on, Kama Itachi." Raksha hooked his fingers at Kama Itachi, "Let me see how much your strength has grown since I haven't seen you in so long."

Kamaitachi did not respond to Rakshasa.

He only "hummed" heavily with his nose, and then let out an astonishing sound of qihe, while pounced on Luosha with the momentum of destroying mountains!

Bang bang bang... His wide soles stepped on the floor of the tea room, making a muffled sound like thunder.

While rushing towards Rakshasa, Kamaitachi took out the scabbard hanging on his left waist that would hinder his movement, and threw it aside.

The scabbard that was thrown flew high into the air, spinning in the air, drawing a beautiful parabola, and finally landed heavily in a corner of the tea room.

Tom.

Tom.

The sound of two objects falling to the ground sounded almost in no particular order.

At the same moment that the scabbard thrown by Kamaitachi fell to the ground, something also fell to the ground at the same moment.

This kind of thing... was the saber that Kamaitachi should have held tightly in his hand.

Kamaitachi's saber was knocked into the air, and in a "low-altitude flight" attitude, it flew away and fell to the ground.

Looking back at Kamaitachi - he is now standing motionless in front of Rakshasa.

With no sword in his hand, he glared at Luo Sha who was right in front of him, only a few feet away, with eyes mixed with various emotions such as astonishment, resentment, and unwillingness.

The coldness of the iron harassed the throat of the weasel... Changyang's sharp knife tip stopped firmly half an inch in front of his throat.

If Rakshasa is willing, he who is holding Changyang Zhengzong with one hand can take Kamaitachi's life with just a slight push of the knife forward.

Eiichi Shimizu on the side... His current appearance is very similar to the audience who saw an exquisite magic show that made people want to shout "inconceivable".

However, from Shimizu Eiichi's point of view, he did see a scene that was quite incredible and magical to him just now.

Kamaitachi rushed to Raksha in one breath, and when he was about to raise his knife to slash, at this moment, a silver-white light flashed in front of Shimizu Eiichi's eyes—a "silver snake" shot from Raksha's left waist. He popped out, concentrated Kamaitachi's knife precisely, and after knocking out Kamaitachi's knife, it landed firmly in front of Kamaitachi's throat without losing momentum.

Because this "silver snake" danced so fast, Shimizu Rong only had time to see a fleeting afterimage...

Eiichi Shimizu used to be just an ordinary Yakuza that could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

If you want money, you don't have money, and if you want power, you don't have power. The only things in your body are good physique, daring to fight, and good martial arts talent.

He learned how to fight in the battle, and finally relied on his own bravery to create the "Qingshui Clan" with one shot at a time.

As Shimizu Eiichi, who is famous for his ability to conquer and fight, he is an out-and-out "martial arts school". He is quite confident in his own skills. Many swordsmen who are called "extraordinarily excellent in swordsmanship" have been defeated by on his hand.

Even compared with those swordsmen who are known as swordsmen, he is definitely not weak in strength, and he can't even see the trajectory of Rakshasa's sword...

Rakshasa made a sound at this time.

He smiled slightly at Kamaitachi standing in front of him: "It's been so long since I saw you, Kamaitachi, your strength has improved a lot."

"It's a pity...you are not the only one who can continuously improve in strength."

Luo Sha retracted Changyang Masamune who had stopped in front of the sickle weasel's throat, stuck the tip of the knife back to the mouth of the sheath, and retracted Changyang Masamune into the sheath with a "choke".

"I won this battle."

"Then, Kamaitachi, please abide by our agreement."

"From now on, please obey my instructions and act obediently."

Kamaitachi's face... now looks like a high-speed video recorder, with expressions flashing and changing rapidly.

Green for a while, red for a while.

He didn't respond to Rakshasa.

After a heavy "hum", he shook his head and left, retrieved his saber that was knocked into the air, and the scabbard that was thrown aside just now, and strode out of the tea room.

Watching Kamaitachi's departure, and hearing the sound of Kamaitachi's footsteps gone away, Shimizu Eiichi looked away and smiled bitterly at Rakshasa: "What a... grumpy person..."

"Oh." Luo Sha sneered, "He is a stunned young man, apart from being quite loyal to the Fazhu Party, and good at hiding his body, his strength is not bad, enough to deal with ordinary warriors, he has nothing else. The advantage."

"Will he listen to you obediently and go to secretly protect Kanno?" Eiichi Shimizu couldn't help asking this question.

"He will go." Rakshasa said with confidence, "I know Kamaitachi's character, and he will go to secretly protect Shenye."

"However... it is doubtful whether he will take the initiative to protect Shenye seriously."

"But it doesn't matter."

Raksha put on his upper body clothes indifferently.

"From the very beginning, I never expected Kamaitachi to work hard for me."

"The main reason why I sent him to protect Shenye secretly was that I just wanted to find a random job to send him out so that he would not stay by my side."

"Kama Itachi is only more obedient in front of Master Orochi and Master Otake Maru."

"Don't say it's me, even Lord Tamazamo and Lord Shutendouji can't control him."

"Also, Kamaitachi, who has a violent temper and is easy to fight and kill, is mainly responsible for being a 'combatant'. He is specially responsible for acting as a thug and fighting with people. I don't have any tasks suitable for him who only knows how to fight."

"Letting this disobedient mad dog do nothing every day will only increase hidden dangers."

"So just find an errand, kick him out, and keep out of sight. It's good for him, and good for me."

"Although Kanno-kun is a good talent, he is not so good that he must be."

"To put it bluntly, even if Kanye-kun dies, I won't feel bad about it."

"So, it's just right to give Kamaitachi the insignificant task of 'secretly protecting Kanno-kun'."

The corner of Shimizu Eiichi's mouth twitched at this moment: "Why would Orochi-sama appoint such an uncontrollable guy as your subordinate at this time..."

"Heh." Luo Sha sneered again, "That fellow Kamaitachi was not sent to me."

"He was punished by Master Orochi, and he was directly demoted and forced to me."

Raksha stretched out his finger and pointed to the ground below.

"From the general base of our Fazhu Party, we were relegated to the 'marginal area' far away from the general base and still struggling to open up strongholds: Edo."

Qing Shuirong was stunned: "The one who was demoted here... did he make any mistakes?"

Raksha fell silent suddenly.

He pursed his lips, and after a few breaths of silence, he quietly gave a rather brief reply:

"...One and a half months ago, he was almost caught by the people of Calabash House because he was not cautious enough."

"Gourd House...!" Qing Shuirong stared once or twice, and then murmured, "Then no wonder you were demoted..."

Luo Sha nodded lightly, then raised his hand and kneaded the back of his neck vigorously a few times: "Anyway, it's good that we can get rid of the mad dog Kamaitachi now."

"Eiichi, I'm a little sleepy, I want to go to sleep."

"The task of helping Kanno-kun to raise fire oil should be completed as soon as possible."

"Yes!" Shimizu Rongyi leaned down and said to the tatami under him, "I will send someone to handle this later!"

"Well. I'll leave it to you, don't let me down."

After finishing speaking, Raksha supported Masamune Changyang on his waist, and walked towards the tea room with great strides under Eiichi Shimizu's bow.

Just when he was standing by the door of the tea room, his footsteps stopped suddenly.

"Ah, that's right."

Raksha turned around and faced Shimizu Eiichi again.

"Almost forgot to ask."

"Rongyi, have you completed the task of 'exempting Juqingdeng's family's debts' that was entrusted to you earlier?"

"It's all done!" Eiichi Shimizu replied quickly and forcefully, "After you issued this instruction, I sent my subordinates to complete the matter properly at the first time! Not only did Takayuki Tachibana's IOUs, and the repayments that their Ju family had paid before will be returned in full."

"Well, very good." Luo Sha nodded lightly, "Then remember to find more opportunities to get closer to Ju Qingdeng in the future."

"People like Ju Qingdeng don't have nothing, but they need talent, talent, and a promising future. They must have a long flow of water to win him over with their bodies and hearts."

"Then I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to win that Ju Qingdeng into one of our own..." Shimizu Rongyi smiled wryly.

"It doesn't matter." Luo Sha smiled slightly, "For a talent of Ju Qingdeng's level, even if it takes a year, two years, or even a few years to win him over, it's still worth it."

After leaving these words, Raksha flicked the sleeves of his kimono, opened the door of the tea room, and walked away.

...

...

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the days of peace and stability passed day by day.

If anything worth mentioning happened to Qingdeng after the Dragon Boat Festival... then it would probably be seeing off Chiba Eijiro who returned to the Mito Domain.

On May 9th, Chiba Eijiro set off to return to the Mito Domain.

According to the friendship between the test guard hall, the Xuanwu hall, and the little Chiba sword hall, it is naturally impossible for the test guard hall to remain indifferent to Chiba Eijiro's departure.

On the day Chiba Eijiro left for the Mito Domain, Shusuke, Kondo and the others all came to see Chiba Eijiro off——Aoto was also on the list.

Qingdeng has a good impression of the modest and polite Chiba Eijiro.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, this senior in the fencing world not only gave him some advice during the contest with him, but also imparted his martial arts experience to everyone selflessly... Based on the relationship with Chiba Eijiro, and Chiba For these actions of Eijiro, Qingdeng couldn't think of any reason not to come to see Chiba Eijiro off because of emotion and reason.

Seeing off Chiba Eijiro... the whole process was quite simple.

Chiba Eijiro smiled, bid farewell to all the people who came to see him off, and then embarked on the journey back to the Mito Domain alone.

Perhaps it was because everything I wanted to say to Qingdeng was exhausted on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, so when saying goodbye to Qingdeng, Chiba Eijiro didn't say much, but said to Qingdeng calmly, "See you later .”

After this farewell, Eijiro Chiba will return to Edo next time, and he doesn't know when it will be.

While watching Chiba Eijiro's leaving back, Qingdeng felt his heart surge for no reason.

One of the biggest gains for Qingdeng from the contest with Chiba Eijiro on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival was that Qingdeng's vision was instantly broadened.

Chiba Eijiro's strength made Qingdeng see what a real swordsmanship master is, and how much he still lacks.

I don't know to what level my strength will improve when Chiba Eijiro comes to Edo next time... Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help showing a free and easy smile with mixed feelings.

Apart from seeing Chiba Eijiro off, nothing important happened during this period.

Time flows quietly...

In a blink of an eye, it's mid-May.

...

...

In the first year of Wanyan (1860), May 15——

Edo, the settlement for foreigners——

"This is the temple of the barbarians...it's the first time I've seen it." Yongcang looked up at the church in front of him, marveling.

"It's quite beautifully built." Harada, standing side by side with Yongcang, was also looking at the church, "Why is there no incense coming out of it? Don't the barbarians burn incense when they worship their gods?"

"Wow." Fujido, who was standing behind Harada's side, let out a weird cry at this moment.

"Todo, what are you doing?" Harada cast a puzzled look at Todo.

"No, it's nothing." Fujido patted his chest with a look of shock, "It's just that I was a little scared... When a barbarian girl passed me by just now, I found that not only her hair was yellow , even the hairs on his body are yellow..."

"Really?" Yongcang was shocked, "Is the body hair color of the Yi people as colorful as their hair?"

Yongcang, Harada, and Fujido gathered together to accept the impact of culture in full swing. At this time, Qingdeng led Saito towards them.

"Okay, stop chatting." Qing Deng said angrily, "Follow me quickly, it's time to go."

At this moment, Qingdeng and his group of friends are in the foreign leased area in Edo... that is, the foreigner's settlement.

In Japan, people used to refer to the concession as "residence".

Almost all foreigners in Edo live in this not too vast settlement.

Under the joint construction of these foreigners in Japan, this settlement has been successfully built by them into a block with a very western style.

Looking around, there are European-style steeple houses everywhere, and many western-style street lamps have been erected along the street. In the center of the settlement, there is also a very imposing Catholic church more than ten meters high.

When entering this settlement from the rest of Edo... there is a sense of time travel.

Because it is a settlement where foreigners live together, the most indispensable here are foreigners of all kinds.

Foreigners, rarely seen in the rest of Edo, can be seen everywhere on the streets of this settlement.

Now and then a gentleman in frock coat could be seen hurrying by.

From time to time, you can see a lady wearing a delicate tutu, walking there under a small umbrella that seems to be useless except for acting.

According to Qingdeng's observation, the foreigners living here are quite mixed.

When walking on the street, Qingdeng heard several languages ​​including English, French, and German.

There are many foreigners on the street, and there are also many Japanese.

Many Japanese were also hurrying in the settlement, most of them were translators, attendants, guards hired by these foreigners to serve them, or Japanese businessmen who did business with these foreigners.

Why are Qingdeng and his friends here?

The reason is not complicated.

Qingdeng and Kinoshita Mai worked together to get rid of the smugglers, and reported the fact that "someone hoarded a large amount of kerosene in Edo" to the enforcement office. Buying and selling, and encourage the public to report suspicious venues that are suspected of being hoarded with suspicious items.

Just this morning, the Beifan Office received a report: In the foreigner's settlement, a group of suspicious people were seen coming in and out of a hut.

Generally speaking, officials like the officials of the enforcement office have to go through a series of lengthy procedures when they enter the place of residence to do business under normal circumstances.

But special cases are dealt with specially.

As early as a long time ago, the shogunate had already negotiated with the managers of the settlement - in order to combat this intensified wave of exiles, and bring all those radical and crazy exiles to justice as soon as possible, the officials of the execution office entered and exited the settlement. Conditions have slowed down very much.

Now that we have received reports from the public... then naturally we cannot ignore them.

Therefore, Susukei, the governor of Beibansho Town, sent someone who happened to have no important mission... namely Qingdeng, to the residence to check the suspicious place that was reported.

Thus, there is a scene where Qingdeng urges Yongcang and the others, who are suffering from culture shock, to stop chatting and hurry up.

"Mr. Tachibana." Carrying his scabbard spear, Harada quickened his pace a little, and walked side by side with Qingdeng, "Have we not reached our destination yet?"

Qingdeng raised his head to look at the surrounding streets, and then took out the street map Susui had just handed to him from his arms: "Not yet, we still have to walk for a while."

The house that was reported was located in the northeast corner of the residence, and they had to turn a few more street corners before they could see the destination of Qingdeng's trip.

"Haha..." Harada yawned big at this moment, "This settlement is much bigger than I imagined..."

Yongcang, Harada, Fujido, and Saito are all coming to the residence for the first time.

And if you count it carefully, this is Qingdeng's second visit here - the first time he came to the residence, and it was the first time he fought side by side with Kinoshita Mai, and after eliminating the gang of thugs who relied on people to try their knives, in order to get rid of The sudden appearance of the officers and soldiers pursued the soldiers and detoured into this exotic neighborhood.

Qingdeng and his party formed a long line of snakes and slowly moved towards their destination.

At this time, another graceful lady walked past Qingdeng and the others with a small umbrella that was useless except for acting.

This lady's appearance and figure are quite outstanding.

Except for Saito, who has never shown any interest in the affairs of men and women, everyone including Qingdeng couldn't help but look sideways at this noble lady.

Harada's movements were the most exaggerated, the lady had gone away, but he was still watching with his neck stretched out.

When the lady's figure completely disappeared from their field of vision, Harada suddenly let out a strange "hehehe" laugh.

He turned his head, lowered his voice, and whispered to Qingdeng:

"Mr. Orange, after we finish our business, let's find out if there are any Yi girls here who are working as prostitutes."

"The bodies and bones of Yi girls look quite strong, and they look great. Let's go and taste them together."
