"Anyway, let me make it clear - I didn't know that he was planning to move me to the right as the envoy of Gyeonggi Town until yesterday afternoon when I received the summons from Jia Mao... from Dashu Gong, so I didn't hide it from you in advance.

My promotion did come out of the blue."

"Qingteng, you...are you really going to Kyoto?"

After asking, Kinoshita Mai subconsciously clenched her fists.

"Well, yes."

Qingden replied without hesitation and with a firm look in his eyes.

"You are both my fiancées, so I won't hide anything from you either."

Although the three daughters still objected to "marrying Qingdeng together", this did not prevent Qingdeng from having fun at all.

"The Pazhu Party is active again. According to reports from spies: the Pazhu Party is suspected of colluding with the Changshu Domain."

The three women all knew about the existence of the Fa Zhu Dang and the grudge between Qingdeng and the Fa Zhu Dang.

Therefore, Qingdeng could relay this information to them without any scruples.

After learning the true story of Qingdeng taking over the hot potato of "guarding the capital", the three women all had heavy expressions on their pretty faces.

"Qingto, although I already understand the reason why you decided to go to Kyoto, but... but... isn't Kyoto in chaos now?"

"I've been hearing people say that the Choshu Domain, Satsuma Domain and Aizu Domain are about to start a war."

"In addition, there are Tanaka Shinbei, Okada Izo and others who are causing chaos in the streets of Kyoto."

"I'm not doubting your strength, it's just...just..."

Kinoshita Mai kept repeating "it's just", her voice getting lower and lower, and her head gradually became lower along with it.

At this time, the general manager took over the conversation:

"Mr. Ju, if you want to defeat the Fa Zhu Clan, there should be other options. Is it really necessary to take over such a...such a dangerous position?"

Sanako followed closely:

"Mr. Ju, those radical-thinking people who respect the king and fight against the foreigners have always put you on the 'List of Heavenly Execution'."

"Today's Kyoto has long become the largest 'nest' for those who respect the king and fight against the barbarians, except for the Choshu clan."

"When you arrive in Kyoto, you will definitely be assassinated by them."

"It's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow... Even if you are as powerful as you, it is difficult to avoid this wise saying."

The three women explained the same content in different ways of speaking - stay in Edo and don't go to the dangerous Kyoto.

Qingden looked at them silently with a calm smile.

In the next breath, he suddenly stretched out his upper body and opened his arms, just like a mother bird spreading her wings to protect her chicks, and took all three women into his arms.

The sudden embrace caused the three girls to scream in surprise.

Qingdeng almost couldn't breathe.

He took several deep breaths before finally adjusting his breath.

"Thank you."

"I have received your concern; I understand what you mean."

"But I have made up my mind."

As he spoke, Qingdeng slightly tightened his arms around the three women, with a solemn look on his face.

"The Fa Zhu Party is a huge group."

"They have a strict and hierarchical organization; an accurate and efficient intelligence network; immeasurable human and material resources; and outstanding talents."

"No matter how powerful I am, no matter how superb my swordsmanship is, I only have one head, two hands, and two legs."

"I alone am destined to be unable to compete with such a behemoth."

"So... I also need to have my own strict organization! Have my own intelligence network! Have my own resources! Have my own troops!"

"This trip to Luo is both my 'crisis' and my 'opportunity'."

"Dashugong gave me the greatest degree of autonomy, allowing me to free my hands and feet to work hard."

“If we don’t fight now, when will we wait?”

"No matter what, I don't want to sit in Edo anymore and wait for the madmen from the Punishment Party to come knocking on my door."

"This time...it's my turn to take the initiative!"

Speaking of this, Qingden paused for a moment, then changed into a half-joking and relaxed tone:

"Besides, this is also a great opportunity for me to marry you."

"When I have guns and cannons under my command, and thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, I wonder who will dare to make irresponsible remarks about our marriage."

Listening to Qingdeng's words, the three women all had amused and gentle expressions on their faces.

Three small hands climbed up Qingdeng's back and hugged him.

Then……

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three small hands suddenly clenched into fists and punched Qingdeng's waist indiscriminately!

"Ahem!"

Qingden screamed in pain as pain and numbness spread along his back and throughout his body. While letting go of the three women, he lay down softly on his side.

At the same time, they stood up slowly and expressionlessly, looking down at Qingdeng who fell to the ground. Three beautiful figures, one tall and two short, were pressing on him like a mountain.

"Why, why did you hit me...?"

Qingdeng timidly raised his gaze and cast a weak and pitiful look at the three women in front of him.

"nothing."

Sanako said calmly.

"I just felt inexplicably unhappy when I heard you say 'our marriage' and other words."

Qingdeng was dumbfounded and said:

"Didn't you already agree that you would give me a chance to marry you?"

One year and eight months ago, Qingdeng, a ward of Ren Medical Center, was almost killed on the hospital bed by the out-of-control parents after he spoke frankly to his three daughters and their parents at that time and place.

Thanks to the mediation of the General Secretary, Qingteng finally reached an agreement with everyone: Qingteng's "lovemaking" behavior will not be investigated for the time being, and Qingteng will be given a chance to prove that he has "the parents who impress the three daughters."

The ability to "even if you marry three women, you can still bring them happiness".

As for how long this "investigation period" will be, it has not been determined.

Kinoshita Mai nodded lightly:

"We do have such an agreement, but don't make it sound like we have agreed to marry you together."

The director-general put his hands on his hips and nodded vigorously:

"That's right! That punch just now was just a little reminder to you - don't get carried away. If you think you can definitely marry us, you might lose us instead."

Sanako added:

"Ji Jun, don't think that you can't survive if we leave."

At this time, Kinoshita Mai lowered her head, played with her fingertips, and whispered coyly:

"Well... that's not what I said..."

Director-General: "..."

Sanako: "..."

The two of them showed speechless expressions at the same time, turned their heads to the side, and looked at Mai Kinoshita with "Uh, aren't you?"

Under the intense glare of these two sharp gazes, Kinoshita Mai's face turned red with embarrassment.

In order to save face, she hurriedly said:

"No, no, no, that's right! Qingdeng, don't think you can't survive if we leave! Also, don't hug me suddenly! It's very, very scary!"

Qingdeng slowly sat up again while rubbing his still aching back.

Looking at the fierce but rejuvenated three women, his cheeks relaxed involuntarily.

The corners of his mouth also relaxed.

After a moment, a happy smile appeared on his cheek.

In this way, he smiled and enjoyed this noisy but extremely relaxing time.

…

…

Just when the three women unanimously "denounced" Qingdeng——
