"Right now...the countless eyes of the 'Ichitsubashi Sect' are watching every move Iemo and I make."

"Whenever Iemo and I act erratically, a massive amount of impeachment and attacks will come to us like a tide."

"For no reason, he summoned a fire bandit who was not qualified to interact with the 'Zhengyi General' and the 'Odaisho' to change his captaincy, and the person who was summoned suddenly 'disappeared'... Guess what's going on with the Hitotsubashi Faction?"

'How will people speculate and criticize me and Jia Mao after learning about this?"

"...That's right." Qingdeng said "Hey" and exhaled the remaining air in his lungs.

Seeing that Qingdeng seemed to be convinced by him, Tianzhangyuan smiled as if he was relieved.

"So, it would be better to cancel the 'kidnapping of Kimura Suma and Hosaka Genzo'."

As soon as Tianzhangyuan finished speaking, Qingdeng's sonorous voice immediately sounded like a rivalry:

"No. I still want to kidnap Kimura Suma and Hosaka Genzo. They are the only clue I have at the moment, and I don't want to give up just like that."

Suddenly, silence fell between Qingdeng and Tianzhangyuan.

It wasn't until about 10 seconds later that Tianzhangyuan finally turned his anger into a voice:

"Tachibana-kun, did you understand what I just said? I should have made it very clear, right? All the captains of the Huofu Thieves Kai, including Kimura Suma and Huisaka Genzo, are gathering day and night.

Inside the government office."

"I can't wait for the opportunity for them to be alone."

"Is it possible that you want to sneak into the government office where the Huosu thieves were reformed, and secretly kidnap Kimura Suma and Huosaka Genzo?"

"This kind of thing... is even more impossible!"

"Ji Jun, as the captain of the third division of Huofu Thieves Kai, you should know better than I do that the Huofu Thieves Kai Yamen is a heavily guarded 'fortress'."

"Don't say it's you. Even Tiancang Xiao, who is one of the best in the New Royal Court series, doesn't have the ability to sneak into the government office where the thieves were reformed."

Because he was impatient, Tianzhangyuan's tone seemed a little aggressive.

Her sincere desire to persuade Qingdeng to "change his evil ways and avoid taking the wrong path" was beyond words.

"...Your Highness, I understand everything you said."

Qingdeng nodded lightly.

Then, he changed into a tone that sounded like he was talking to Tianzhangyuan or talking to himself, and said calmly:

"But...it doesn't have to be 'sneaking in quietly and knocking people unconscious' to be called 'kidnapping'."

In an instant, Tianzhangyuan's boy's eyes shrank slightly and his red lips opened slightly.

"Ji Jun, do you want to..."

…

…

The next day, night——

Edo, the government office reformed by thieves and thieves——

…

"Um...junior, have you really made up your mind? Do you really plan to do this?"

"...Senior, when you were cleaning the Tsukinomiya Shrine or doing other tasks, have you ever felt like this: you felt so tired and bored at work, and you wanted to smash the entire Tsukinomiya Shrine.

"

"I, I, I, how could I feel like this! Tsukinomiya Shrine is my home! How could I want to destroy my home!"

"Senior, please tell the truth."

"This... this... um... how should I put it... when I am assigned to do some very hard work... I occasionally think about quitting it... as for smashing the Tsukinomiya Shrine...

This kind of thought...this kind of thought...is not unheard of...but it's not that extreme! I just thought about burning the torii gate, which is super troublesome to clean!"

"That's right. Senior, let me just say this, 'make a big fuss in the workplace' - I've wanted to do this kind of thing for a long time."

After saying that, Qingden tightened the face scarf and headscarf on his face, then holding the bamboo sword, he ducked out of the alley and walked straight towards the door of the Huofu Thieves' Office not far away without any hesitation.

Saege, Yae, who also covered their faces with face towels and headscarves, and Amakura Owl followed closely behind.

"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you recognize these two words? Leave now!"

Outside the gate, four guards shouted fiercely at Qingdeng and others. They pointed to the lantern hanging high on the eaves of the door with the word "Fire Thief" painted on it.

Qingdeng didn't reply, he just continued to move forward silently...while lifting his bamboo sword and assuming Kasumu Dan's posture...

…

boom!

The loud sound of the heavy wooden door being pushed open with brute force spread through the night sky!

…

"Hey! What's going on? What's going on with this noise?!"

"It's an intruder! An intruder has broken in!"

"What did you say?! Intruder?!"

"Who are these thieves who dare to attack the government office that I, the Huofu thieves, reformed?!"

…

January 19, the second year of Wanyan year (1861).

On this day, the "Special Police Force": Huo Fu Rogue Kai, which made countless villains fearful, encountered an emergency situation that had never happened since the team was established.

"General Headquarters" was attacked...!

The ones who attacked were——"Nioh" Tachibana Aoden and three ninjas!

What was coming to meet them was——more than half of the army of the Huo Fu Thieves!
