I formed the strongest swordsman group

Although Boss Kiryu's words fell, the air inside and outside the Thousand Houses still reverberated with sharp reverberations like a slash.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Kinoshita Mai looked dull.

Qingdeng could not hide his astonishment.

He has known Boss Kiryu for a long time... This is the first time he has seen Boss Kiryu angry...

Judging from Kinoshita Mai's immediate reaction, she must have rarely seen it before... perhaps she has never seen Kiryu boss so angry towards her.

The stunned look between the two men brought back Boss Kiryu's sanity.

He slowly suppressed the ferocious expression on his face with a look of shame.

"...I'm sorry, I lost my temper."

Kiryu lowered his head as he spoke, his eyes locked on the tatami in front of his knees.

Under the reflection of the glasses, it was difficult to see his eyes clearly.

"Young Master, please understand the feelings of an old man like me."

"I'm no longer as open-minded and optimistic as I was when I was young."

"As I get older, I hate separation even more."

"In my life, I have really seen too many people leave me..."

"I don't want to spend the last few years of my life witnessing anything happen to important people...especially my granddaughter who I treat as my own."

"I can't follow you to Kyoto."

"In other words, if you join the Suppressing Army, I will no longer be able to protect you silently like before."

"If you have a problem, how can I explain it to the Master? How can I explain it to...myself?"

"It doesn't matter if you hate me."

"It's okay to think that I'm being too lenient."

"Rather than letting you fight with the Fa Zhu Party, I would rather bear your hatred."

No mercy words.

An expression of hesitation gradually appeared on Kinoshita Mai's pretty face.

She tightly grasped the kimono fabric on her legs and whispered reluctantly:

"Mr. Kiryu, I can protect myself..."

Even though her tone sounded scared, the will contained in her words was still firm.

However, when it comes to "firmness of will," the other party is not willing to give in too much.

"Protection? What do you do to protect yourself?"

Boss Kiryu scolded without thinking.

"It is true that your ninjutsu and boxing skills are very good."

"When you show your true skills, even 10 swordsmen who have received exemptions will not be able to get close to you easily."

"But times have changed!"

"Excuse me, if the opponent in front of you suddenly takes out a revolver from his arms, how should you respond?"

"Even I can only avoid the sharp edges of artillery bombardments and dozens of muskets, let alone you?"

"Or do you think that as long as Mr. Ju is here, your personal safety can be guaranteed?"

"Never mind that Mr. Tachibana's energy and time are limited."

"Can you feel at ease and let Mr. Tachibana stay with you like your nanny?"

Kinoshita bit her lower lip tightly, speechless - she couldn't refute, after all, what Boss Kiryu said was the truth.

Although there are still some people with radical ideas who respect the king and resist the barbarians, they still regard "spiritual theory" as their guideline and believe that as long as they move forward bravely and are not afraid of death, there is no invincible enemy. However, "swords and swords can no longer compete with firearms" after all. The trend of the times that cannot be violated.

The scene reached a stalemate again...

The stalemate was even more serious than before.

Boss Kiryu showed his cards directly and his attitude was extremely tough.

Although Kinoshita Mai lowered her head and remained silent, Qingden could clearly see her unconvinced look.

Kinoshita Mai and Sanako have a very bad relationship with each other. They have completely different preferences and personalities.

But there is only one thing that makes the two very similar - they are both stubborn!

Obviously, earnest persuasion alone is not enough to change Kinoshita Mai's mind.

At this time, Qingto noticed keenly: Boss Kiryu's mood started to get out of control only after Mai Kinoshita confessed that she wanted to fight to the death with the Punishment Party.

In addition, the focus of Boss Kiryu’s remarks has always been on “opposing Kinoshita Mai’s association with the Fuzhi Party” rather than “opposing Kinoshita Mai’s entry into the crisis-ridden Kyoto”…

Thinking of this, Qingdeng couldn't help but think to himself:

——Did something happen between Boss Kiryu and the Hoshino Party?

Regarding this idea, Qingdeng neither dared to ask nor thought about it.

(I have really seen too many people leave me in my life)

The words that Boss Kiryu said just now flashed through Qingden's mind like lightning.

——Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite...

A bitter look appeared on Qingdeng's face.

If the young and old pair were allowed to continue quarreling and arguing, Qingdeng would also feel uncomfortable being caught between them.

——In short, let’s continue to collect intelligence and understand the whole situation.

After thinking about this, Qingden cleared his throat, turned his head, and asked Kinoshita Mai:

"A Wu, if you want to fight against the Fa Punishment Party, you don't necessarily have to join the Suppressing Army, right? Calabash House and the Fa Punishment Party are sworn enemies. You can work directly under your grandma in the future. In this way..."

Before he finished speaking, Kinoshita Mai immediately said:

"I don't want it! Grandma, let's not worry about it for now. Others will definitely take special care of me because they are concerned about my identity."

"I don't like the feeling of being treated differently!"

"Others are working hard, while I am staying in the safe rear and playing with the cats... I would not do this kind of thing even if I were killed!"

Another upright and Kinoshita-like speech.

I think so.

If she was the kind of person who was greedy for life and fearful of death, how could she go around robbing the rich and poor just to build a "technical school"? How could he not hesitate to join the army in order to fight against the French Communist Party?

Qingto has never been to the headquarters of Calabash House, nor does he know any of the Calabash House members except Kiryu and Makimura.

Therefore, he didn't know exactly what kind of status Kinoshita Mai had inside Calabash House.

But judging from the attitude of boss Kiryu and Mr. Makimura towards Kinoshita Mai, she is probably a quite favored princess in Calabash House...at least among the higher-ups of Calabash House.

At this time, Boss Kiryu suddenly interrupted:

"Young Master, aren't you worried that you will be treated differently after joining the Zhenfu Army?"

"Of course I'm not worried."

Kinoshita Mai responded without thinking.

"Among the entire Fu army, only Qingdeng knows my true identity."

"Other people think I'm just an ordinary employment agency agent who excels only in my boxing and kicking skills."

"I know what Qingdeng is like."

As she spoke, Kinoshita Mai raised her head and looked straight at Qingden, her eyes shining brightly.

"I am certain that Qingdeng will never give me any privileges after I become a member of the Zhenfu Army."

Kinoshita Mai's earnest praise made Qingden's mouth curl up slightly unconsciously.

However... perhaps because of the momentary excitement, the girl gradually entered a state of "no one else".

I saw her holding her face with both hands, Xiafei's cheeks, her eyes blurred, her expression absorbed, shy and intoxicated, murmuring:

"Qingden is not always gentle and kind when he gets along with me. Even though he is usually polite, he often appears to be quite rough when giving him sex, sex and sex. side."

"A Wu?!"

"Although it was very uncomfortable at first, I don't know why, but after I got used to it, I actually felt quite happy. I even hoped that he could be more rude. It would be best to give my clothes to..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Qingden made a loud noise while reaching out to cover Kinoshita Mai's mouth.

However... it was too late.

"...Tsk."

A smacking sound full of annoyance.

In an instant, Qingdeng felt the extremely sharp gaze, which made his skin hurt.

"So you have already done that kind of thing... That's right. After all, you are energetic young people. It would be abnormal not to do that kind of thing."

Boss Kiryu crossed his arms and looked at Aoto and then at Mai Kinoshita with mixed emotions on his expression.

At this time, Kinoshita Mai suddenly realized what she had just said.

Her face turned red rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a blink of an eye, her entire little face was so red that it looked like blood would drip at any moment.

"It's just that, it's just that, it's not!"

Kinoshita Mai pushed away Qingden's hand covering her mouth and said quickly in a panic:

"Mr. Kiryu, we didn't do anything like that!"

Qingdeng nodded desperately to show his agreement.

"We've only done **, **, **, *** and **** so far!"

"A Wu?!!"

Kinoshita Mai came back to her senses. After realizing that she had made a mistake again, she consciously raised her hand to cover her mouth.

But what’s the use of fixing it now?

If Boss Kiryu's expression just now was "helpless", then his current expression is "unbelievable".

"'Merely'? Is this also called 'merely'? Also, what's going on with *** and ****? Even a married couple wouldn't do such a thing, right?"

That sharp, knife-like sight was directed at Qingdeng again...

Kinoshita Mai was too shy to look at Boss Kiryu, so she covered her face with her palms and acted like an ostrich.

Aoto, who also didn't dare to look at Kiryu's boss, silently lowered his eyes and stared straight at the tatami in front of his knees. He put on a silly expression of "Wow! This tatami is so tatami" and swallowed hard. .

He came here to break up the fight.

However, judging from the current situation, there may be a fight next.

Qingto turned his gaze sideways and quietly checked the positions of Vairocana and Dingkishin placed on his right side, and was mentally prepared to receive the blow from Boss Kiryu and fight with him.

The tense atmosphere that had been lingering between Kinoshita Mai and Kiryu's boss had quietly dissipated - in a way Aonto had never imagined...

…

…

Fortunately, Boss Kiryu's sword did not fall down, and the two of them did not start slashing at each other.

Qingdeng spent a lot of effort to finally calm down this "unreasonable disaster".

"Ah Wu and I did indeed do those things! But that's all!" - In this way, after Qingto repeatedly assured that he and Kinoshita Mai had not crossed the last line, this incident made everyone start to wonder. Unexpected emergencies finally turned the story around...or rather temporarily.

To be honest, after such an incident, Qingdeng now feels very tired...but the urgent matters that need to be dealt with prevent him from relaxing.

Qingden took a deep breath, cheered up, faced Mai Kinoshita, and asked a crucial question word by word:

"A Wu, does your grandma know about the matter of 'joining the Zhenfu Army and fighting against the Fa Zun Party'?"

Kinoshita Wu was startled for a moment, then quietly shook her head.

"No...I haven't told her yet. It would be useless even if I told her anyway."

"Why?"

"...Grandma will definitely not agree to this."

Qingden raised his eyebrows sharply.

Why did you say this? Qingdeng asked with his eyes.

Kinoshita Mai was silent for a while, trying to formulate her words.

"Although grandma is very strict with me, she has always been very concerned about my personal safety."

“When I was in Osaka, I was always surrounded by really awesome bodyguards.”

"When I was sent to Edo for training, I also asked Mr. Kiryu of Yunwen Yunwu to be my guardian."

"I am very grateful to my grandma for her love and care for me."

"But to be honest... her love for me is a bit too much."

"In addition to strictly protecting my personal safety, I am not allowed to have access to the details of Calabash House."

"As the young master of the Calabash House, I didn't know the true face of the Calabash House until more than two years ago, when the anti-barbarian group was just destroyed, and I didn't know that Mr. Kiryu was the powerful Liuguang Hachiman. ·Kuro Mamiya'."

"I remember that you were also present, Qingden."

"I learned the truth at the same time as you."

"Before this, I always thought that grandma was just a relatively wealthy businessman, and Mr. Kiryu was just an old man with great swordsmanship."

"Legal speaking, I am the next head of Calabash House, but my understanding of Calabash House is not much better than that of outsiders..."

"In addition, I will be excluded from all dangerous missions...especially missions related to the French Party."

"During the previous attack on Qingshui Residence, I was strictly ordered by Mr. Kiryu to stay in the store and not go anywhere."

"How could my grandma, who was overprotective of me, allow me to go to the turbulent Kyoto, and how could she allow me to join the front line of the fight against the Falun Gong Party..."

The further Kinoshita Mai continued to speak, the lower her tone became.

Aoto, who listened and digested everything Kinoshita Mai said, pursed his lips and looked at Boss Kiryu.

"Boss Kiryu, the power to decide whether Kinoshita Mai can join the Suppression Army lies in the hands of Miss Kinoshita Lin. Am I right?"

"...That's right."

"If Miss Kinoshita Lin agrees to Kinoshita Mai's request, then you have nothing to say, right?"

"..."

Boss Kiryu said nothing.

However, his behavior is equivalent to acquiescence.

"In that case - Ah Wu, write a letter to your grandma and ask her to allow you to join the Zhenfu Army."

As soon as these words came out, Kinoshita Mai and Boss Kiryu both looked dumbfounded.

"Qingdeng, didn't I just say everything? Grandma, she..."

“‘I don’t want you to get hurt’ and ‘I want you to fly high’—these two are not in conflict!”

Qingdeng said loudly, word for word, in a decisive tone.

"Although I have never dealt with Miss Kinoshita Rin, and I don't know much about her personality, I think she will definitely agree to your request to join the army."

At this moment, Boss Kiryu’s expression became strange.

Kinoshita Mai asked in confusion:

"Grandma will agree to my request to join the army? Why do you think so?"

Qingden smiled and shrugged.

"It just comes from intuition."

After saying that, Qingden turned his head and turned his attention to Boss Kiryu.

"Boss Kiryu, it's about time you raised your head, right?"

"I don't know if you have noticed... you have been avoiding Kinoshita Mai's eyes since just now."

"Does the shining, energetic eyes unique to young people make you feel at a loss?"
