I formed the strongest swordsman group

Chapter 385 Gua Shengxiu is the lover of "Eternal Sword Master" Ogata Yishi? 【5200】

"Hanata-kun!"

Gua Shengxiu pulled the hem of the kimono and hurried to Qingdeng's side.

"How? Are you injured?"

Qing Deng shook his head.

"A thief of this level won't hurt me. Instead, it's you, Granny Guasheng."

As Qingdeng said, he looked sideways at Guasheng's mother-in-law.

"Are you hurt?"

Gua Shengxiu also shook his head, then imitated Qingdeng's tone just now, and said half-jokingly:

"A thief of this level won't hurt me."

Hearing this, Qingdeng couldn't help smiling.

"Grandma Guasheng, you really scared me just now...I didn't expect you to hide such a subtle skill..."

After finishing speaking, Gua Shengxiu performed a trick similar to Aikido, and the scene of throwing out the birthmarked face flashed before his eyes.

What Qingdeng just said was a double entendre.

The "scared me" in his mouth not only refers to the freckle-faced and strong man who appeared suddenly and almost killed Gua Shengxiu and Bai Ju, but also refers to Gua Shengxiu who showed powerful skills at a critical moment and saved himself from danger.

As a "white fighting enthusiast" who is proficient in grappling, free fighting and other unarmed combat, Qingdeng can see at a glance how powerful Gua Shengxiu's moves are - he is not a person who is well versed in martial arts, nor a person who has experienced many battles. Don't do it!

As soon as Qingdeng finished speaking, Gua Shengxiu smiled slightly.

"Who do you think I am? I'm 'Yoshiwara-ri Tongxin'. If I don't have two skills, how can I live up to the name of 'Tongxin'?"

"What's more... just like what I said to that bastard just now: When I'm fighting against rivals you young people dare not even think about, your parents don't know where to feed."

"For me, the sneak attack of those two bastards just now is not even a 'crisis' at all—the adversity and despair I have experienced are more difficult and dangerous than this, and I can't count them with my hands."

Gua Shengxiu seemed unwilling to stay on this topic for too long.

After saying this, she lowered her head and looked at the birthmarked face lying at Qingdeng's feet.

"Who are these guys... They seem to be here for Baiju..."

Anyone with a little discernment would be able to see that when the birthmarked face and the strong man suddenly appeared, their knives were all aimed at Bai Ju.

Gua Shengxiu was only implicated because he was holding Bai Ju.

The Birthmark Face yelled at the strong man just now—"Leave this old man alone! It's important to kill Bai Ju!"——which confirmed that their target was indeed Bai Ju.

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly found a large piece of dark blue bruise on the collarbone of the birthmarked face.

At first, he thought it was dirt.

But after looking at it carefully, I found that this piece of "dirt" was too delicate.

Qingdeng squatted down and opened the skirt of the freckled face.

The intricate tattoos of dragons and phoenixes caught the eyes of him and Gua Shengxiu.

"Yakuza..."

Gua Shengxiu frowned while murmuring like this.

Tattoos all over the body - this is the symbol of Yakuza...

Both ancient China and ancient Japan had ink punishment. However, the ink punishments of the two sides are slightly different.

The ink punishment in ancient China is to tattoo on the face of the prisoner, and then smear ink charcoal on it to represent the sign of crime, which cannot be washed off later.

The ink punishment in ancient Japan is based on the content and nature of the case, and tattoos with different patterns on the forehead, cheeks, arms, neck and other body parts of the prisoner.

For example: People who commit the crime of stealing will have long black stripes stabbed on their arms.

Bystanders only need to look at the style and number of tattoos on their body to know what crimes this person has committed and how many times he has committed crimes.

Over time, the concept of "a person with tattoos must not be a good person" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The reason why the yakuzas of the Edo period had tattoos was to express that "I will be cut off from normal society from now on, and I will devote myself to the underground world wholeheartedly."

The "non-mainstream" and "liberated individuality" sets are not popular nowadays.

Unless the head is showing off, it is absolutely impossible for ordinary citizens in the Edo period to get tattoos-it is no different from writing "I am not a decent person" or "Please come and discriminate against me" directly on the face.

Since the birthmarked face is covered in tattoos, it means that he must be a Yakuza - which is definitely the case.

"Why is Baiju being targeted by Yakuza..."

Gua Shengxiu said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that...she offended which Yakuza family?"

Throughout the ages, the custom industry and the underground world have been inseparable.

Because the custom industry is often associated with "huge profits" and "human trafficking".

Edo... No, it should be said that all the Okura places (private prostitution dens) in Japan are basically run by Yakuza or people with Yakuza background.

There are Yakuza platforms behind many girls' houses in Yoshiwara.

Therefore, "you girls or tourists accidentally offend Yakuza"-this is not a rare thing in Yoshiwara.

"No...something is not quite right."

Gua Shengxiu's frown became tighter and tighter.

"Even if it's a Yakuza, it's impossible to kill people in the street... It's not a wanderer who always yells 'rescue barbarians' and 'heavenly punishment'..."

Although the Yakuza always give people an impression of "lawlessness" and "dare to despise all morals and laws in the world", they are not arrogant enough to dare to be in the public... and they are still in government-run areas like Yoshihara to the point of murder.

If Baiju really offended a Yakuza family, then the Yakuzas could use a sea of ​​retaliation methods, why choose such an extreme and irrational approach of "killing people in the street"?

"..."

Qingdeng said nothing, with a solemn expression.

He has far more relevant information than Gua Shengxiu.

Therefore, he has a completely different conjecture from Gua Shengxiu.

Last night, after the hard work of Qingdeng, Erzhong sisters and others, Kimura Suuma and others were successfully abducted.

For the gang that was chasing Qing Deng everywhere, this was not a piece of news that could be forgotten.

Suzuma Kimura and Motozo Hosaka, who were their important informants, were kidnapped by unknown persons at the same time... It is impossible for the gangsters not to feel a little strange.

Yuuki Kamenosuke, who was in charge of contacting Kimura Suuma and Hosaka Motozo, would have a chat with Shirajuku every time he came to Yoshiwara.

The gang should be well aware of Yuuki Kamenosuke's temperament.

Suzuma Kimura and Motozo Hisaka just "disappeared" last night, and then Baiju was attacked by an unknown Yakuza of unknown origin tonight...

To say it was a coincidence, it would be too coincidental.

——Do you want to kill someone...

Qingdeng's eyes gradually became sharper.

At this time, there were chaotic breathing and footsteps behind Qingdeng and Gua Shengxiu.

"Huh! Huh! Huh! Huh! Guasheng mother-in-law!"

Officials from the Shilangbei Club escorted the fainted strong man, and swarmed to Qingdeng and Gua Shengxiu.

"Grandma Guasheng, what's going on with this? Who are these two warriors? How dare you wield a fierce sword on the streets of Yoshiwara... You must be a little too brave!"

The leader of the official post - a fat man with a very plump body, asked at a loss.

Qingdeng noticed that whether it was this fat man or the other officials of the Shiro Bingwei Club, when facing Gua Shengxiu, both his expression and his demeanor were very humble, as if he didn't even dare to breathe.

It's no wonder, after all, Gua Shengxiu is the "super old man" of Shirobei Club.

Not only has more than 70 years of work experience, but also has outstanding ability, high morals, and made countless outstanding achievements-faced with such old qualifications, who would not be afraid?

"This question... I also want to know the answer."

Gua Shengxiu sighed heavily.

"In short, let's put them in prison first. Then hand them over to the enforcement office."

The fat man nodded vigorously a few times.

Just as the fat man waved his hand, signaling to his subordinates to pull up the birthmarked face that was still slumped on the ground, Qing Deng interrupted abruptly:

"Sorry, Granny Guasheng, can these two be entrusted to me?"

"Um?"

Puzzled and meaningful eyes fell on Qingdeng.

"Hanatian-kun, do you mean...do you know who they are?"

After hesitating for a while, Qingdeng said slowly.

"Not sure yet. But... I have a general guess direction."

"……All right."

Gua Shengxiu stared straight at Qingdeng without blinking, his bright pupils flickered with thoughtful light.

After a while, she nodded slightly.

"I understand...Since that's the case, let these two people be handled by you."

"Grateful."

Qingdeng bowed to Gua Shengxiu with a grateful face.

"Huh? Huh?"

The fat man looked confused.

"Grandma Guasheng, is this really okay? Let such an important criminal be handed over to someone who is not even an official?"

"I will bear all the responsibilities."

Gua Shengxiu said lightly.

"If Shirobei-sama or someone else asks me, I will explain it to them myself."

Now that Gua Shengxiu has already talked about this, Fatty is too embarrassed to say more.

Suddenly, the fat man seemed to recall something, startled for a moment, and said quickly:

"Ah... By the way, speaking of the 'Practice Office'...Grandma Guasheng, I have something very important to report to you."

"Important things? Say."

"According to the report, Ju Qingdeng, the 'King of Kings', is currently hiding in Yoshihara, and the execution office has dispatched a large number of officials to search here."

"'King Ni' is on the verge of orange?"

Gua Shengxiu let out a low exclamation.

"King Ni is in Yoshiwara...? Is this true? Who reported this?"

"I don't know, the whistleblower is anonymous. As for whether Nioh is really in Yoshiwara...it depends on the search results of the officials."

Speaking of this, the fat man paused for a moment, and then continued with a wretched laugh:

"If King Ni is really hiding here now...then he's quite lewd~~ He actually hides in such a place where there are so many beauties, hehehe~~"

If it was normal, Qing Deng would have to refute the other party a few words when he heard such remarks that smeared his innocence.

What Qingdeng dislikes most is when people say he is pornographic - it's all nonsense!

He just likes 3 girls at the same time! I just want to form a happy big family with them!

First, he loves frankly. Neither lie nor cover up.

Secondly, he sincerely loves the chief executive and others, and his love for the chief executive and others is the same and equal. Neither favors anyone nor neglects anyone.

Three, he will never mess with girls except the chief executive and others. With Qingdeng's current financial resources, fame, and social status, he only needs to hook his index finger, and hundreds of girls are willing to line up to get into his bed, but he didn't do that.

Except that the number of girls he loves is a little bit more, no matter from which point of view, he is a genuine "pure love party"!

Calling a "pure love party" porn...isn't that bullshit?

However, it's not happy, at this time Qingdeng has completely ignored Fatty's slander.

Because there was a bamboo hat covering his face, no one else noticed at all—under the bamboo hat, Qing Deng's face was covered with astonishment.

——I exposed?

Qingdeng felt his limbs become stiff in an instant, entwining his body like vines, which made him puzzled.

--No. wrong. impossible……

——Ever since I entered Yoshiwara, I haven't taken off my bamboo hat.

——The saber on his waist was also replaced by a Hitachi Shou Kaneshige from Echizen who had never seen it in the test guard hall.

—— Logically speaking, it is impossible for anyone to find me...

—Could it be... a coincidence?

——Someone found someone who looked like me in Yoshiwara, so he reported it to the official.

——If that's the case... then my luck tonight is really bad...!

——Troublesome...

——Currently, a large number of officials are gathering in Yoshiwara in order to find King Ni... I'm afraid I will have to work hard to leave here...

Qingdeng thought to himself.

Due to his concentration, he didn't notice that Gua Shengxiu, who was beside him, was quietly tilting his eyes, secretly looking at him with intriguing eyes...

"Mother-in-law!"

Suddenly, an anxious female voice interrupted Qingdeng's thoughts.

It turned out to be white chrysanthemum.

Regardless of her own bare feet, Bai Ju trotted towards Gua Shengxiu in three steps at a time.

"Granny Guasheng! Are you not injured?"

When she yelled these words, Bai Ju swooped and got into Gua Shengxiu's arms.

"I'm fine."

There was tenderness between Gua Shengxiu's brows.

She raised her hand and gently pinched Bai Ju's pretty face.

"What can this little thief do to me?"

Gua Shengxiu patted Baiju's back lightly, then raised his head and looked directly at Qingdeng.

"Okay, Mr. Huatian, thanks to you, I finally found Bai Ju... Then, let's fulfill the promise between you and me."

The "promise" that Gua Shengxiu mentioned naturally refers to Qingdeng's agreement with her in advance that "after he finds Bai Ju, leave him time and space to get along with Bai Ju, and he has something he wants to ask Bai Ju".

"Um."

Qing Deng responded softly, and continued:

"This is not a good place to talk... Let's find a quiet place."

Gua Shengxiu nodded slightly.

"That's right. Then... come to my house."

"your home?"

"My house happens to be near here."

Speaking of this, Gua Sheng smiled.

"My house is quite big. You are welcome to come to my house. I will lend you my house. You can stay as long as you want."

...

...

Yoshiwara, residential area——

Led by Gua Shengxiu, Qingdeng brought Baiju to the residential area of ​​Yoshihara.

This place is where ordinary townspeople living in Yoshiwara live together.

This is no different from the longhouse outside.

[Long house: A very common house style in the Edo period, a type of collective housing, simply put, it is a "row house". Your east wall is my west wall. Each longhouse is an apartment or community, with as few as a few households and as many as dozens of households]

Playing children can be seen everywhere.

Clotheslines hanging between two houses can be seen everywhere.

People can be seen everywhere saying hello to Gua Shengxiu.

"Oh! Granny Guasheng! Why did you come back so early today?"

"Granny Guasheng! Good evening!"

"Huh? Granny Guasheng, the warrior behind you is a familiar face. Who is he?"

Seeing this, Qingdeng couldn't help sighing once again for the kindness of "Yoshihara Harmony".

After crossing one road after another that was either lively or secluded, wide or narrow, the group of three stopped in front of a modest house.

——This is...Grandma Guasheng's home...?

Qingdeng showed a dumbfounded expression subconsciously, with surprise on his cheeks.

how to say……

In the words of high EQ - Gua Shengxiu's home is like a timeline spread out, and what I feel is a thick history.

In the words of low EQ - Gua Shengxiu's family portraits and cultural relics...

"My house may be a little run-down, please forgive me."

Guasheng turned his head and said apologetically to Qingdeng Youyou, then unlocked the door, and opened the door with a "wow" because it was too old, so there was a sharp "squeak" sound when pushed and pulled.

Qing Deng followed Gua Sheng and Bai Ju through the door.

As soon as he entered the room, Qing Deng couldn't help raising his eyebrows because he was deeply surprised by the scene inside the room.

Although Gua Shengxiu's house is very old, it is exceptionally clean.

The layout of the house is a very classic "Japanese structure".

After the porch is the living room with the functions of "kitchen", "living room" and "dining room". In one corner of the living room, there are stoves and other utensils for cooking.

Behind the hall is the bedroom.

No toilets - which is normal.

Longhouses generally do not have private toilets.

There is at least one public toilet in each longhouse, and everyone can go to these public toilets for convenience.

A large hook hangs from the ceiling in the center of the hall, and a small stove is dug underneath. When eating or warming up, they sit next to the stove, and a large soup pot is hung on the hook.

Standing in the center of the hall, Qingdeng glanced around from left to right—the furnishings in the room were very simple, with almost no furniture.

However, there were two things that attracted Qingdeng's attention.

The first thing, was a pillar—a pillar with a long, deep furrow drawn across it.

Qingdeng blinked and watched carefully.

Soon, he discovered that this deep and long gully seemed to be composed of countless knife marks.

Constantly scratching the same position with a knife... Over time, this deep ditch was formed.

As for the second thing that caught Qingdeng's attention... it was a wanted warrant.

"Grandma Guasheng, who is this?"

As Qingdeng asked, he walked slowly towards a particularly conspicuous wanted notice posted on a certain wall of the living room.

"Oh, this..."

An intriguing color appeared on Gua Shengxiu's face.

"This... is my lover's arrest warrant~~"

"lover?!"

Qingdeng suppressed his broken voice and unbelievable emotions. At the same time, he bent down impatiently and read out the name of the person written on this arrest warrant word by word.

"Ogata... Yishi...?"
