Just when Shimizu Eiichi finished speaking, the originally noisy scene suddenly fell into silence.

The aunt who whispers.

The uncle with an indifferent expression on his face.

A young girl with a shocked face.

The calm Qingdeng.

All the people at the scene, regardless of age or sex, seemed to have been cast by time-pause magic. They were motionless and even their breathing became much softer.

It wasn't until a long time passed that the still time started to flow again.

"Hey, what did he just say?"

"Eiichi Shimizu is... making a war announcement to Nioh?"

"Oh, it's going to be a lot of fun now!"

"Will 'Nioh' be here?"

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

…

Zuo Nazi and Souji turned their heads sideways at the same time in a tacit understanding and looked at Qingteng who was standing behind them.

After seeing Qing Deng still looking calm and composed, their slightly tight facial lines finally relaxed a little.

At this time, Shimizu Eiichi spoke again:

"I believe everyone present is more or less aware of what happened last night, right?"

At the same time that Shimizu Eiichi's hoarse voice sounded again, all the people present who were whispering immediately shut their mouths in a wise manner - no one dared to make any noise when the Shimizu clan's number one killer was delivering a speech.

"Although from a standpoint, Tachibana Aoden, who caused us heavy losses, is a hateful guy, at the same time, I have to admit that he is worthy of the title of 'Benevolent King'."

"... Such superb skills are amazing."

"However, if we look closely at his performance last night, he just took advantage of our unpreparedness to kill some insignificant characters."

"What's wrong with such behavior?"

"If you have the guts, come here!"

Qing Shuirong suddenly raised his voice, and his aura changed accordingly, and his every move was filled with vitality and strange confidence.

Aoden once experienced similar auras in the bodies of Iyin Naobi, Tokugawa Iemo, Tenshouin and others - the kind of auras that have the power of life and death in the world they live in.

"Tachibana Aoden, I'm right here!"

"My important subordinates are all here too!"

"If you want to fight, then we will accompany you to the end!"

"To show my respect for you, I have issued an unprecedented mobilization order!"

"I have mobilized the maximum amount of weapons and the maximum combat power here, in this Qingshui Residence!"

"Ju Qingden, this is a 'feast' specially prepared for you!"

"Ju Qingden, just let your horse come over!"

"We are always waiting for your arrival!"

After finishing speaking, Shimizu Eiichi once again glanced around with a disdainful gaze, then turned around leisurely and walked back to Shimizu Residence at a leisurely pace.

"Blood Tiger" Sakurai Shitaro and others followed closely behind him and filed in.

After a while, silence returned outside the gate of Qingshui Residence.

The group of Yakuza responsible for transporting supplies continued to work and continued to carry weapons into Qingshui Residence.

It was as if nothing had happened, leaving the ignorant crowd all over the place looking at each other.

After a while, the scene became less violently commotion.

"It's really a battle post..."

"Hiss, hiss... Look, my goosebumps are rising! The all-out war between 'Nioh' and the Qingshui clan... I can't help but feel excited just by imagining it!"

"Don't get too excited there. Whether Ju Qingden dares to challenge or not is still a question."

"'Nioh' will definitely come!"

"I don't think so. Did you see it just now? The martial arts masters of the Qingshui clan gathered together, and Eiichi Qingshui personally took part in the battle, and also prepared such a large number of weapons. Such a large amount of equipment, all

Enough to arm an army of 300 men!"

"Sigh... Why has it been so uneventful recently... What kind of group was that some time ago? Oh, yes, the anti-barbarian group was causing trouble everywhere. We finally eliminated it, but new turmoil emerged...

…”

"I hope that 'nioh' can show off the Qingshui clan like he did with the heavy damage to the anti-barbarian group."

"It's impossible, right? It's not like you don't know that the Qingshui clan is much more powerful than the rebel group!"

"I know, so I don't expect Nioh to do anything to the Qingshui clan. As long as they suffer a little bit, I will be satisfied."

"I just hope they don't fight too fiercely...at least they don't set fire to it."

…

"Hey, that Tachibana Aoden is in trouble now. Whether he 'accepts the challenge' or 'doesn't accept the challenge', he will feel very uncomfortable."

"Yes. If you accept the challenge, you will definitely die; if you do not respond, you will be regarded as a coward."

"If it were me, I would definitely choose the latter - although it would be embarrassing, at least I can save my life."

"Hey, hey, right? In addition to 'certain death' and 'being treated as a coward', Tachibana Aoden has a third option - kill everyone in Qingshui Residence, and then walk in from where?"

, just walk out from there."

"Tch...you think he is Ogata Ittosai?"

…

Discussions with different contents were heard all around.

Those with excited and excited expressions at this moment are mostly young people.

In short, they are all a bunch of ignorant people who have never experienced combat.

Throughout the ages, those who welcome blood and fire, except for those who can benefit from it, are mostly half-little ghosts who are very young, have only passion and energy, and think they are mature in thinking.

The elderly uncles and aunts all expressed concern about the Qingshui clan's big move.

A random sneeze by a big shot is like an unstoppable hurricane for ordinary people like them.

Especially the people who live nearby are even more sad.

They were afraid that one day in the future, knives, arrows, flames, and human severed limbs would fly out of Qingshui Residence and fall into their homes...

Of course, there are also some people who are just having fun.

These people probably live far away from the Qingshui Residence. They think that no matter how fierce the fight between the "Nioh" and the Qingshui clan is, it will not involve them, so from beginning to end they hold a kind of "no matter what happens,

It’s none of my business anyway” stubborn mentality.

After seeing that there was no excitement to be seen, the onlookers gathered near Qingshui Residence left in twos and threes.

Soon, only a few people remained in the same place - Qingdeng and others were among them.

Zuo Nazi and Souji once again turned their heads sideways and carefully looked at Qingdeng's expression.

Deep in their beautiful eyes, there are complex colors that are difficult to hide.

Qingden knew what they were thinking.

In order to make the two girls relax, he smiled slightly:

"let's go."

Qingdeng turned around and left without hesitation.

Zuo Nazi and Souji quickly followed up, taking three steps at a time and two steps at a time.

"That...Tachibana-kun."

Abruptly, the director-general hesitated and whispered:

"You must never do something stupid when your head gets hot..."

Hearing the sincere reminder from the General Secretary, Qingdeng couldn't help but laugh.

Faced with the battle invitation thrown by Shimizu Eiichi, whether to "fight" or "not to fight" - this is indeed a difficult problem for Qingnobo, no matter which one he chooses, it will lead to serious consequences.

Needless to say the former.

In addition to the extraordinary high-end combat forces such as Eiichi Shimizu and "Blood Tiger" Shitaro Sakurai, the middle and low-level combat forces who are not strong but certainly have a large number, as well as a large number of swords, guns, armors, bows and arrows and other equipment, inside the Shimizu Residence

Most likely there are also a large number of firearms hidden.
