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's boss become so angry towards her.

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

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 am 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."

Words without mercy.

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

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

"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 powerful."

"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 me, faced with the bombardment of artillery and the firing of dozens of muskets, can only avoid their sharp edges, 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 Jun Tachibana be like your nanny, staying with you forever?"

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

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 is even more serious than before.

Boss Kiryu showed his cards directly and his attitude could not be more tough.

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

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 after Mai Kinoshita confessed that she wanted to fight to the death with the Punishment Party.

In addition, the focus of Boss Kiryu's speech has always been on "opposing Kinoshita Mai to have an intersection with the Hoshi Party" rather than "opposing Kinoshita Mai to set foot in the crisis-ridden Kyoto"...

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

——Did something happen between Boss Kiryu and the Pazhu 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, who was caught between them, would also feel uncomfortable.

——In short, let’s continue to collect information 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 safety of the rear and playing with the cats... I would not do this kind of thing even if I were killed!"

Another speech that was full of righteousness and in the style of Mai Kinoshita.

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 in order to build a "technical school"? How could she join the army in order to fight against the law and punish the 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 did not 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 all the Fujun people in the town, only Qingdeng knows my true identity."

"Other people think I'm just an ordinary person, a job agency hand with special skills in boxing and kicking."

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

Kinoshita Mai's earnest praise made the corners of Qingto's mouth curl up slightly unconsciously.

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

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

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

side."

"Awu?!"

"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!"
To be continued...
